Chapter 1

Warm, yellow sunlight grazed across his face, coaxing him to open his eyelids from their deep respite. As his lavender colored eyes hazily took in the sight before him, Shuichi struggled to catch his bearings. He was on a soft cloud. A cloud that felt like heaven.

Shuichi realized that his face and hair was gently being caressed. As he turned to tell "gentle hands" thank you for the ministrations, he was turned back gently and a soft voice murmured into his ear "I love you so much"

Attempting desperately to see the person now, Shuichi tried to lift his heavy head to look. His tired eyes wouldn't follow his orders. The figure was cloaked, but yet seemed radiant and even effervescent. Shuichi lifted his hands gently and managed to grope one strange of angel, feather like gold hair. "Who are you" shuichi asked softly

The figure approached Shuichi's face, and gently leaned as if to kiss him. "I am your messiah, with satanic ways, I may give you a disease- but I also carry the cure, I am your angel, but will demonize you, I am Machiavelli with my plots, Brutus with my treachery, and Cassanova with my lusts. But I am your "inamarato". As the figure touched his lips with Shuichi's, Shuichi realized two things. One, that he would be with this man forever once he found him( his kisses were pure magic)- and Two- he had the most expression filled and lovely golden eyes there ever existed…

"I love you Shuichi" the man murmured against Shuichi's lips " I…l o..

"…ove you Shuichi" said a soft voice into his right ear, interrupting his deep reverie . The voice then leaned over to kiss him gently. Though the kiss didn't feel as right as the one in the dream, it still felt nice so Shuichi leaned into it. Suddenly realizing that he had no idea who he was kissing Shuichi leapt back from the presence with an exclamation. He quickly shoved the presence off his bed. The unidentifiable figure hit the floor with a thud.

"Ow Shuichi" a plaintative voice whined "Did you really have to push me that hard?"

Shuichi eased up a bit when he identified the voice Hiro . "Gome…" Shuichi began, before growing angry and tense again. This wasn't HIS fault.

" Well why did you try to MOLEST me in my sleep Hiro?" Shuichi asked angrily, without remorse for what he had done "Didn't I tell you specifically that I'm not bi?"

"Well yea you did- but you never did respond back to me after I confessed that I liked you last week. I thought, well maybe… I still had a chance "Hiro replied sheepishly. He quickly stood up and stuck out his tongue.

Shuichi sighed. He was really confused as to what to do about him and Hiro's relationship. He was actually hoping to be able to avoid it. Kissing might be nice, but a real relationship would just be too weird. He certainly didn't want to be dealing with the situation now. Especially not on such an important day.

"..But you know since I love you and all- I promise that I'll wait for your decision" Hiro continued, eyes on the floor, a faint blush climbing up his face "But we still have our band to deal with – so let's go or we'll be late- and it's our first day too. We have to come in with a BANG" Hiro finished with a loud voice and both fists thrust into the air

Shuichi looked at Hiro with a renewed smile. Hiro was so boisterous- his best friend in the whole world. And he was about to start school with Hiro at his side. Not just school, but the most important years of their life- HIGHSCHOOL.And not just ANY Highschool, but Blade Academy. The most prestigious in Japan- especially for the sciences and arts

Shaking off his previous doubts Shuichi pushed Hiro out of his room- telling him to wait outside and ran into his bathroom to grab a quick shower. He then ran into his closet to put on the clothes he had prepared the night before.

Shuichi had yet to properly lace up his tie and button his suit, before he heard Hiro's impatient voice yelling at him to hurry up, from outside his bedroom window. Glancing around to be sure he hadn't forgotten anything, Shuichi grabbed his bag, ran his hands( with gel) through his hands and ran over to his window. Climbing out his window- Shuichi yelled at Hiro to catch him. He jumped. Hiro caught him

Latching himself firmly unto Hiro's back, shuichi proceeded to brush his hair again and try to straighten up his attire

Noticing Hiro's lack of movement Shuichi gently prodded him " HEY I thought you were just on my ASS for taking too much time- MOVE damnit- we'll be LATE" Shuichi yelled

Yah got it kiddo. Hiro quickly picked up his bag and equipment and began to run the way to school all with Shuichi on his back

Shuichi smiled at the idea of what was to come. His dream about the mysterious stranger was already long forgotten…
