Chapter Two

"Killing Loneliness." His words rolled off his lips as he turned away from the microphone and smirked to his audience. Blade could capture an audience almost exactly like Ville Valo could. Blade was just so easily seductive and that was what Verity had thought had given him his touch, though she wouldn't really have had said that out loud. Verity was nothing but a dancer for the band, she was part of the band in that way, but since she had no musical talent – that she was telling anyone – then she was only good for them by that sense, she just smiled as she remembered their last performance as a group, before they were separated because she was dragging the lead singer away, yet the rest of the band may reunite and perform in Japan and see their reaction. Verity had just got up from bed and was already deciding what to wear, trying not to wake the singer up, but yet that was hard, because he was a light sleeper. So far so good, she guessed, as she hadn't yet. She picked up a pair of white leather trousers, these were instantly stretched over the bottom part of her body, she then picked up a three quarter length top, it was black and white stripped, more black… she just as quick threw this over her head and then reached for her black boots, they had to contrast and so far she was wearing too much white, these really darkened her appearance so this was a good thing. She then reached around her neck and clipped her heartagram necklace in place before going to the hotel dressing table where lay out her make-up, she had decided not to go too drastic because of her mother…

Lime eyes fluttered open from the clunking noise of Verity throwing down, not laying down, her make-up… he sat up a little and turned his head towards Verity – just as she was placing on 'Freederm' something to stop her spots… he couldn't help but laugh inside at that. Blade himself had already picked out what he was going to wear, that was the only thing he could think of doing this morning. He had noticed that she was wearing her white leather this morning that was a change… Blade pushed himself up from the lumpy couch and sat normally, he just couldn't help but watch as she placed on her make-up with the outmost care, foundation – pale, lip pencil – dark, light shimmer to her delicate lips, a little colour to her cheeks – grey eye shadow on her eyelids and a light pink above her eyes… that was just not what she usually wore but a little is a lot, as they say.
"Good morning, sweetheart." She cringed, she hates being called that, and he was teasing her – he was due in for some payback later on. Blade ran a hand threw his hair, it was still in good condition due to the fact he was sleeping on a couch, and he got up and walked into the bathroom with his clothes in hand.

"A 'Good morning, back to you, Blade' would have been nice." The black haired male stated as he draped his white shirt along his arms, this reached around his stomach and he kept it open while wearing a black scarf, this was something he wore on stage to convince the audience, then he wore – Haru-style – black leather trousers and of course boots. He was wearing the exact opposite from Verity, something that never happened; see if only they had a camera… he then had to put his make-up on, not that he wore a lot mind you. He wore a dash of colour over his eyes and lips and of course, his black eye-liner (don't ask) he then just walked out of the bathroom casually to find Verity looking him up and down. He just arched an eyebrow and walked on. Verity just couldn't understand him in some ways, when he wasn't on stage he still kept on his Ville Valo appearance, though in some ways she felt lucky – as she was in love with Ville Valo as it was.
"Come on, Blade. We better go…" Verity spoke, her voice like a newly rung bell. She was just like that in some ways, she wasn't the total gothic person everyone stated her to be, and she had a bit of female class to her – when she wanted to show it of course. "I have a sister and mother to find!" She spoke as she pulled along a suitcase which was black with silver and crimson bats. The crimson bats matched her eyes – which at that moment where looking outside at the bright and happy weather, she couldn't help but feel out of place already.

Blade got his baggage, a plain black luggage bag, he packed the essentials, the band was going to bring everything else.
"I hope your ready, my cousin's are weird… they're not normal." She referred to Shigure and Yuki… it was strange, even though Verity was Kagura's sister, she hadn't met Kyo because of her mother mostly… she wouldn't like her going around with him. Though it was different for Shigure, Yuki and Momiji, she spends a lot of time with Momiji Sohma when she was younger. It was just something she had to do because of what happened to Momiji's mother, she felt like she had to make sure he knew he had a friend. Even though he was a year younger than her… it was good to know that he was okay, being born in February though, made Verity in the same class as Momiji seeing as she didn't like being the youngest at all in school – she was pushed back a year to be with people her own age. (Something I wished happened to me!)
"What about your mother, we're not going to see her first?" Verity shook her head; they were staying at Shigure's until her mother could get rooms ready. Seeing as she was sharing a room with a girl named Tohru Honda… she wouldn't feel out of placed in a house of boys. Verity and Blade nodded then and left the hotel.
