4. Shining Collection

Shining Collection, Looking Into Your Eyes

The concert went by smoothly, even though Shuichi crashed from the ceiling and broke a portion of the stage (sweat drop). But, yeah, we had fun.

Shuichi smiled, "Yuki is going back to our home." I nodded, "Naruhodo." Shuichi jumped in surprise. I blinked, "Doushita? Is there a ghost behind me?" He laughed nervously, "N-No, it's just that you appeared from nowhere." I smiled, "Ah. Gomen," I saw Sakura on the other side of Shuichi, "She's your sister, right?" Shuichi nodded, "This is Sakura. Sakura, this is Sakuma-san." I extended my hand, "Pleased to meet you." She smiled and shook my hand, "Pleased to meet you too, Sakuma-san." I smiled back, "Please, call me Ryuichi." "H-Hai," she blushed. "Where are you headed to?" I asked. "I'm just going to walk her to our parent's house then I'll go back to Yuki's apartment," Shuichi replied, "Aren't you going back to your place, Sakuma-san? It's late in the evening." "It's all right. Why don't you go back to Yuki-san's apartment and I'll drop Sakura to her house," I suggested. Shuichi smiled, "H-Hontou ni?" I nodded in reply. "Well if that's settled, see ya later!" and he ran away at amazing speed. I sweat dropped, "Ran away just like that." "Because he's Nii-san after all." I shrugged, "Well then, shall we?" Sakura blushed once more, Sakuma-san, I mean, Ryuichi-san and I are actually alone and he's going to walk me to my house. She shyly nodded. We took a taxi since I didn't bring my shades. I would be quite troublesome if someone saw me. Sakura told the driver the location of her house and we went off. "Did you enjoy the concert?" I asked her after a while. She nodded in reply, "Hai, totemo. Ryuichi-san and Nii-san sing very well." I smiled, "If we aren't then we won't be vocalists in N-G." She smiled back, "Sou da ne."

Noriko's phone rang. She grabbed it from her hand bag and answered.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Noriko-san, what happened to the concert?"

"Shu-chan arrived a little late but even thought we started twenty minutes behind schedule, it went out just fine. Nee, Tohma, what did you do in New York? You suddenly decided to go to America."

"Gomen. I just had some urgent business here. I'll be back in a few days."

"If you were here, you would be shocked of Ryu-chan's behavior."

"What about it?"

"He turned serious before we started the concert."

"Is it possible? Maybe he heard his song."

"There's no song heard that time."

"Well, that's strange."

Noriko saw her husband's car and waved at it, "Ja ne. Tetsuya is already here. Good luck on... whatever you're doing there."

Tohma slightly laughed, "Good bye, Noriko-san." He turned off his phone and sighed, Eiri-san.

Ryuichi: (raises one finger) If you didn't know yet, Tohma REALLY likes Yuki-san.

Shuichi: What!

Ryuichi: In the manga around Track 62, I think, Tohma said, "You know. When you've been cheated on, you should cheat right back," and attempts to kiss Yuki-san.

Shuichi: Eh! No! (blinks) But what does Seguchi-san mean in 'when you've been cheated on'?

Ryuichi: (sweat drop) I-It's not included in our story.

Shuichi: Sakuma-san, please tell me.

Ryuichi: Anyway, let's continue.

Shuichi: Sakuma-sssaaaaaannnnnn!

Ryuichi: (sighs) It can't be helped. You cheated on Yuki-san because... I'll turn it the other way around... you kissed me.

Shuichi: What!

Ryuichi: Okay, let's finally continue.

We talked along the way that we didn't notice that we already arrived in front of Sakura's house. Time flies so fast when you're doing something that you're interested in. I insisted to walk her to the door. And... "Arigatou gozaimasu, Ryuichi-san," she said with a hint of a blush. I shook my head, "No, it's nothing." Silence. I didn't know what to say, I wanted to be with her longer, I thought, I wanted to... "Oyasumi-nasai, Ryuichi-san," she smiled at me before she opened the door. "Matte," I grabbed her hand to stop her. As she turned to face me, I crushed my lips to hers... Her tender lips to mine, hugging her body close to mine. All was too perfect. If only time would stop..., I pulled away and looked deep into her eyes, "Oyasumi, Sakura." I let go and kissed her on her forehead before I headed back to the waiting taxi.

Sakura was stunned at what happened. It took some time to regain her thoughts. Is this a dream? she thought as she touched her lips. The door to the house opened. "Sakura, you're home," Maiko said. Sakura nervously laughed, "I-I'm back," Did she saw Ryuichi-san? "Uh... Nee-san, did you see anyone out here besides me?" "No."

Shuichi arrived at Yuki's apartment, Yuki is going to be home tomorrow. He jumped happily around the apartment and plopped down to Yuki's bed, their bed. "I'm sure Yuki will ask me to make him come when he gets home. We haven't done it for around a month," he blushed at the thought of it. But, the image of my serious face comes up in his mind.

Yuki: Hm? A mind? Yukino-chan, the brat doesn't have a brain.

Yukino15: (sweat drops) Uh huh.

Shuichi: What do you mean by that! I ain't—

Yuki: (kisses Shuichi to shut up)

Yukino15: Better narrate like now, Sakuma-san. We don't want to disturb them.

"Why is Sakuma-san serious while he's suggesting that he'll walk Sakura home?" Shuichi asked himself. He got up and decided to call at the Shindou's residence. He wanted to know what happened on Sakura's way back. Well, that's the nature of Shuichi, to know everything of what's happening.

"Hai. Shindou desu," Maiko answered on the other line.

"Maiko, can I talk with Sakura?"

"I'll go get her," Maiko put the phone on the table and went upstairs to Sakura's room." "Sakura, Nii-chan wants to talk to you. He's on the phone," she said after she knocked. "I'll be downstairs for a moment," she put down her hair brush and proceeded to the phone.

"Hai? What is it, Nii-san?"

"I just want to know if you're home."

"I know that that's not the reason you called."

"Okay, I give up. What happened to you and Sakuma-san on your way back?"

Sakura blushed, "We took a taxi and talked on the way."

"And?"

Sakura became redder, "What?"

"You sound like you're hiding something. Did he say that you're beautiful?"

"M-Make sure you won't tell anyone."

"Yeah, it's a secret."

Sakura looked around for a sign of her sister. She sighed as she knew that she's alone and whispered, "He kissed me."

"Eh! Hontou! Sakura, you're the luckiest girl on earth! Sakuma-san likes you!"

"I didn't expected it to happen."

"It happened. I guess I'll give Sakuma-san your cell phone number."

"Nii-san!"

"I'm just trying to help. But what about Fujisaki? I know he likes you too. Well, that's love. You have to make a choice."

Sakura fell silent, Nii-san's right.

"Good night, Sakura."

"Good night."

Sakura stared at the phone, I have to choose between Ryuichi-san and Suguru-kun?

The Bad Luck Gravity Tour went well. Fans filled the place, screaming and shouting. Bad Luck has almost tied Nittle Grasper. But, I haven't seen Sakura since the day I kissed her.

"Nee, Tohma. Why don't we have a concert too na no ka?" I asked while playing with my Kumagorou. Tohma closed his eyes, thinking deeply. After a while, he opened his eyes once again and said, "Sure. I'll have someone to write a new song for the concert too." "You that Kumagorou?" I told my pink stuffed toy bunny, "We're going to have a concert na no." "Tohma, are you serious?" Noriko asked. "Ee, we haven't had a concert for sometime," he replied. Noriko shrugged, "If you say so, but who's going to write the new song?" "Eiri-san will..."

Our concert is eventually announced by fliers, newspapers and television. As always, the tickets are sold out after a few days. Of course, I got one ticket from Tohma. The ticket for Sakura, I want to let her see my concert. The day before our concert, we were practicing when Yuki showed up. "I need to talk with you, Seguchi," he said. "Say, Kumagorou, do you want to eavesdrop na no ka?" I asked. I waited for a while as if hearing it to answer. I nodded, "Okay, let's get near them." "Ryu-chan," Noriko grabbed my arm, "You shouldn't eavesdrop. Just leave them for their brotherly talk... Eh?" she saw that she's already holding a huge Kumagorou. Annoyed, she stomped at it, "Ryu-chan! Where did you go!" I hid inside a large speaker and moved closer to Yuki and Tohma. I popped my head out to hear them. "Hm? Shuichi had gone back to his home?" I asked myself, "I'll get him back and give Sakura her ticket after."

"Ryuichi-san is here?" Sakura repeated. "Ee," Maiko replied, "He's upstairs with Nii-chan." "Ah. Sakura, welcome back," Shuichi greeted. "Nii-sa—," she was stunned as she saw me, He's here. Ryuichi-san is here. She remembered the time when I kissed her, that unforgettable moment. "Konnichiwa, Sakura," I said. She blushed and looked down, "K-Konnichiwa." I smiled, "Shuichi, can I talk with her for a moment?" He nodded, "Yeah, sure." I pulled Sakura out of the kitchen to the living room. I grabbed the ticket from my pocket and handed it to her, "A ticket to my concert. I hope you could come," I said. She blushed and took it, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Ryuichi-san." "Ah. Seeing them makes me jealous," Maiko said. Shuichi simply nodded. He already knew that I have feelings for Sakura.

The day of the concert. Colorful lights lit when Tohma and Noriko started the music. I went with the beat and tapped my foot, I know that Sakura is here...

Ryuichi: Once again, a song is going be sung. This time, the song is "Shining Collection" and it is sung by me. In bold letters are the romanji lyrics and in italics is the English translation.

Shikai wo nukadashita panorama no dimension

Kanpeki na gitai na tada fureru

Cheap na shokushu wa mitsu wo motomeru reaction

Tsumetakutemo hiwai na kimi ga mitai

The field of view excels the dimension of panorama

a perfect mimesis that can only tremble

a cheap touch where reaction is to look for secrets

you want to see them even if they are coldly obscene.

Nanairo ni moteasobu

waki-da-shita kairaku no umi

Kage ga fuchidoru game

kono sekai kara uchinuke

a sea of gushing pleasure

that alters the colors of the rainbow

that strikes into this world

adding shadows to the fringed game

I will do my best for Sakura, I thought as I sang the chorus.

Kiss shining

kodoku wo katashidori

Karamaru koukai ga kuu wo kiru

Make me shining

chirabaru kokoro no nagara

Mabushiku sugisaru kibou ni

Kiss shining,

imitating loneliness

Cutting into space with entwined regret

Make me shining,

fragments of my scattered heart

A radiance that surpasses hope.

I smiled, By this time, Shuichi will notice that this song is written about him, "Oi, Shuichi! Let's sing together no da!" He excitedly jumped from the VIP seats and quickly ran to the stage, not caring if someone is on his way. He luckily arrived at the stage to sing to chorus...

Kiss shining

hitomi ni kichizukete

Toke dasu hanabira mo jamani naru

Kill me shining

irozuku shigeki no hate ni

Kagayaki hajimeta maborishi

Kiss shining,

we're kissing in my eyes

Melting away even the flower petals in our way

Kill me shining,

changing into the most exciting colors

That first shone in a vision.

Please don't cryin'

kodoku wo katashidori

Karamaru koukai ga kuu wo kiru

Make me shining

chirabaru kokoro no nagara

Mabushiku sugisaru kibou ni

Please don't cryin',

imitating loneliness

Cutting into space with entwined regret

Make me shining,

fragments of my heart

A radiance that surpasses hope

After my song, I gave the microphone to Shuichi. As he was singing his "In The Moonlight," I excused myself from Tohma, Noriko and Yuki. It took a while to get to the backstage because of the huge number of crowd. I grabbed my cell phone from my pocket and sent Sakura a text message which says:

Meet me at Nittle Grasper's dressing room backstage. I'm waiting.

Meanwhile, the door opened and Sakura shyly entered, "Ryuichi-san?" "Come in, Sakura," I said. She sat beside me on the love seat. "So what do you think of my performance?" I began. "It's wonderful, especially the new song," she replied. I leaned, tilted her chin and faced her to me, "So you enjoyed it." Not waiting for her to answer, I pressed my lips to hers. I pushed her down to lay under me. I pushed my away and said, "Ryuichi-sa--" "Shh. Call me Ryuichi-kun," I opened her mouth using my fingers and kissed her once more. This time, more passionate and entered my tongue to her mouth (like the one in Gravitation Remix 2 Ryuichi x Tatsuha). Unexpectedly, Suguru came in the room. I quickly pulled away and stood. I glared at him, obviously telling that I'm angry, Why does he have to disturb us? Sakura sat up and looked down, embarrassed to look at Suguru. Suguru glared back at me before leaving, stomping in each step. I sighed, "I guess he won't disturb us for a while."

Suguru punched angrily at the wall. Right now, he's so angry that he could burst in a split second, I won't let you have Sakura. I won't let you touch her.

Ryuichi: (looks at Shuichi, who's seating in a corner) Oi, Shuichi! Daijoubu?

Shuichi: I'm stupid for cheating Yuki. I'm stupid for cheating Yuki. I'm stupid for cheating Yuki. I'm stupid for cheating Yuki. I'm stupid for cheating Yuki (repeats again and again)...

Ryuichi: (sighs) By the way, if anyone of you knows or wants to write a lemon for the next chapter, send a message to Yukino-chan or post in the review and give your e-mail address. She'll wait for one week and if there are no very kind writers to write for her then she'll have to make my own. Forgive her if it's so good because she haven't written lemons before. And also, thanks for anime-reader-only, Devil-girllie, PhoenixGuardianEmaku, Story Junky, Chibi Kumagoro, Gun.God.Angel, kiwadoi seiitsu and eirika! We didn't expect that people would like our story. 'Till next time, minna!
