World Renound

"Good Morning, Bad Luck!" Tohma stated and stood up as the band and its crew walked into the room. "You all may have a seat"

As he said that Hiro, Shuichi, Fujisaki, K and Sakano sat down on the large plush sofa which was against the wall. Tohma walked in front of his desk and leaned against it with a stern and serious look, something that might be considered a good poker face. They all immediately knew he was going to address something very important.

Shuichi sat on the sofa tapping his foot and biting his lower lip, he was very worried about what was about to be said to him. Sakano was at the exact same mood as Shuichi but he was exaggerating his mood completely; biting his nails, sweating profoundly, and it looked like he was about to be executed

Hiro and K, however maintained their usual laid back cool. K was about to pull his gun and shoot Shuichi and Sakano for being such pushovers, but he just sat there and sighed. Hiro slouched in his seat; he was very calm; as he ran his hands thru his hair Tohma gave him a warm smile. Hiro remained calm even thou he was completely oblivious to what was about to be said to him.

Sakano and Shuichi had absolutely had it with the room's silence and Tohma giving them no sigh of what he was going to say. Sakano fainted in his seat and Shuichi jumped up and pointed his finger directly at Tohma's nose, he began screaming, "Well what are you going to tell us Seguchi? What is with the suspense! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!"

Hiro started to laugh, "Shu…sit down and shut up before you get each and every one of us fired." Tohma broke a smile and Shuichi sighed and returned to his comfortable seat facing the large wall window that gave a excellent view of Downtown Tokyo and all its architecture.

Shuichi again built up with nerves and was about to yell again when Tohma started to speak, calming him.

"Well Bad Luck has its good and bad days, not to mention the frequent times you have been later or close to it on turning in your lyrics."

Shuichi started to sweat profoundly, with it all raining down on Sakano who was awaken by it and sat back up in his seat.

Tohma continued, "There have been a lot of horrible things going, on in the music world, and only a few great things to counter that; and on top of that only a few great, and I emphasize that, great bands are making it."

This completely set off Shuichi, "WHAT THE HELL, YOUR FIREING US?" he demanded to know. That statement shocked Sakano and again caused him to faint. Tohma just stared blankly at Shuichi.

K got the point and grabbed Shuichi and slammed him back into his seat, "Shuichi Shindo, what are you thinking, just SHUT UP!" Shuichi listened not wanting to be filled with lead.

K nodded to Tohma who went on, "Like I was saying, this is a brutal business. There is little room for new bands or struggling bands to pull together…"

Shuichi interrupted again, stepping on Sakano's hand causing him to scream. "We are not a new band and neither are we struggling!"

This time Hiro got aggravated with Shuichi and grabbed his ear, slamming him into the sofa.

Hiro spoke to Tohma pushing his knee into Shuichi's back, "The brat is quiet please continue."

Tohma sighed and continued his conversation, "Bad Luck is, however, not one of those bands, yes, it might need improvements, and there is always room for that. One of those you might consider is teaching your blockhead lead to be quiet once in a while. So then I can inform you of my plans…" Tohma paused, anticipating retaliation from Shuichi. Hiro kept Shuichi's face planted firmly into the seat so he could not speak. Tohma went on, "…Anyway, the reason I called you all here; you have all heard of WWMF, World Wide Music Fest. This concert is being held in Tokyo this year. This puts the pressure on us to show the world we excel in the music industry. We are getting calls all the time asking to know what two bands will represent Japan. I will let you know that in a second. WWMF is for the top charting bands from over 100 nations, which all will have two bands representing each of them. The two bands representing Japan will be of course the two bands that top our countries charts. One is, Nittle Grasper, and the second will be Bad Luck. The winner of this Festival will win the title of World Renound. So that being said, I am now your rival as is the rest of the Nittle Grasper Team, so then, Good Luck, Bad Luck!" Tohma smiled, finally finishing what he had to say.

Shuichi over filled with joy, managed to push Hiroshi off of him knocking him to the ground, "YEA! Bad Luck! Bad Luck, we are going to the top!" He struck a pose, smiled. He was glowing with pure joy; boasting about what a great singer he was, and that they were going to win.

Tohma smiled and added, "This means you have a month to practice and come up with new songs if you like."

At that Shuichi shoved his cast and crew right out of the office and down to their studio to get rehearsing.

Tohma laughed and sat down to make a few calls to get Ryuichi and Noriko down to the studio the following day.

After he made his calls, Tohma, went down to Bad Luck's studio.

"Hello Bad Luck!" Tohma said as he entered the high-tech, soundproofed room. Shuichi, Hiro, and Fujisaki immediately stopped the music greeted Tohma.

"I was just on the phone with the director of the WWMF and this years twist is that the countries top two best bands; Bad Luck, and N-G have to co-op on one of our songs that means that Shuichi, tomorrow you need to meet up with Ryuichi to start some lyrics for a new song that we will be playing. When you get that done get the lyrics to me, so then Hiroshi, Fujisaki, Noriko and I will be able to set the lyrics to a music. Then we all will rehearse, does that work?" Tohma announced.

Shuichi just stood there in shock but managed to stammer out a few words, as everyone had their eyes on him, "Me….Sakuma….Ryuichi…M-M-M-M-EEEEEE AND SAKUMA RYUICHI-SAMA! NO WAY?" Tohma nodded with a smile. "YES YES YES YES YES YES!" He started to scream and hyperventilate.

The group of them decided to let Shuichi to his dreams and head for home. Tohma, being generous, offered to take Hiro and Fujisaki home, Fuji respectfully declined. So it left Hiro and Tohma to have a private ride home. They walked to the lift and down to his car in the garage.

Once in the automobile, Tohma asked Hiro a few things, "Hiroshi?" he asked gazing at the redhead.

Hiro nodded at him.

"Would you like to go on another date with me sometime?"

"I'd love to, mind if I plan this one thou?"

Tohma blushed at Hiro's added enthusiasm, "Yea that sounds great!" Tohma started his car and pulled out of the garage, "Where do you have in mind?"

"You will find out soon enough babe." Tohma immediately blushed being called a babe.

Tohma sped down the road and turned onto Hiro's street and drove slowly wanting to enjoy this time, "When do I get you for this date?"

"Two days from now, 5 PM, Alright?"

"5 PM, two days, check!" Tohma smiled as he pulled up at Hiro's home. "Have a nice night Hiroshi!" Tohma said and Hiro leaned over and pecked Tohma on the lips.

"I will…pick me up at 7 tomorrow, ok."

Tohma nodded, they said their good byes and Tohma departed.
