CW- well, I am finally back at the keyboard, so everyone cheer very loudly. I have been watching a lot of new anime over the summer and I found that gravitation is one of the best, so I decided to write my own fanfic for it. It should be interesting enough, or at least I hope so. Now I will take care of some business.

Disclaimer- I do not own gravitation or any of its characters or music or any such things. The only thing I own is this storyline, and my OC Natsume Hyunna, who was inspired by a friend of mine that I RP with a lot

CW- ok, now that that's out of the way we can get on with the story. I hope you all enjoy it!

Gravitation

New Year, New Love

Chapter 1

Fated Encounter: Meet Natsume Hyunna

It was a bright and sunny day and all of Japan was in an uproar over the New Year's festivities that would take place later that evening. The hottest spot to be in that evening was going to be the Hyunna tech entertainment hall, where Bad Luck would be playing a concert to ring in the New Year as well as show off some of Hyunna tech's latest sound equipment. Shuichi, of course, was not at all pleased with working on a holiday and decided to take the matter up with K.

"What's the deal with making us play a concert on New Years Eve?" Shuichi asked as he stood before K's desk in his office. "I already had plans to go out with Yuki tonight and then you go and spring this on us?"

"Weather or not you made plans are less then none of my concern Shuichi" Replied K as he went through some files on his desk. "Bad Luck needs publicity right now, and what better way to get it, then to indorse an up and coming Technology Company?"

Shuichi got annoyed and balled his fist, he held the balled fist in front of his face and growled at K. "Can't we indorse them tomorrow?" he asked in a raised voice "who in their right mind plans a display concert on new years eve when nobody is gonna show up anyway?".

K took a sheet of paper and handed it to Shuichi. "As you can see by those numbers, your concert is already sold out" he explained with a smug look. "Sakano has already cleared this event, it is going to happen weather you like it or not, and if Eiri Yuki is going to be a problem, then I will have to deal with it personally".

Shuichi gulped for a moment at K's statement then set the paper down on his desk. "Well, let's not do anything hasty now, I'm sure Yuki would love to go to the concert, I should go and ask him right now, see ya tonight!" he spoke all in one blur of a sentence before dashing out of K's office like a dog chasing a bone..

"I knew he would see it my way" snickered K as he cocked a Gun and leaned back in his chair with a wide smile.

Later that day at Yuki's house…

Shuichi walked through the front door and took off his shoes before walking onto the wooden floor. "I'm home" he called out as he proceeded into the living room. He could hear typing from a different room and knew that Yuki was in his study working on his newest book. He walked in quietly and took his usual chair by Yuki's side without saying a word.

Yuki stopped typing and leaned over, giving Shuichi a light kiss on the lips. He returned to his typing but still spoke. "So, how did it go with K?" he asked without glancing away from his computer monitor.

"It went over like a led balloon" Replied Shuichi as he lowered his head. "K said you're welcome to come along to the concert if you want ..but I still have to perform".

Yuki didn't say anything at first, then he lit a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, and then removed it, looking at Shuichi he spoke quietly. "I don't think I'll go, but I will be waiting for you to come home" he stated with a small grin before replacing the cigarette and returning to his typing. Shuichi's head perked up a bit at this statement and he grinned with many different thoughts running through his head.

"I'll do my best to get home early" said Shuichi with a determined look on his face and fire in his eyes "You can count on it". Yuki reached over and put a hand on Shuichi's head with a small smile.. Shuichi's eyes widened and sparkled, as he smiled and nuzzled his head against Yuki's hand.

7pm that evening ….

Lights were shining everywhere and people were clambering to get inside of the Hyunna entertainment hall and see the concert. Limos carrying important people were pulling up to a long red carpet where photographers took pictures and reporters asked questions. Among those walking the red carpet, were the members of Bad Luck

"This is what being a celebrity is all about" exclaimed Shuichi as he and his friends walked down the long red carpet toward the main entrance.

"Agreed" Replied Fujisaki, "fame, accolades and adoring fans, truly the life of a musician is a magical one". They reached the entrance and were greeted by the son of Hyunna tech's CEO, Natsume Hyunna.

Natsume was a boy, about Shuichi's age. He had short, purple hair that was styled neatly without a hair out of place. He had brown eyes that seemed lively at first glance, but actually showed a hidden sorrow. He was 5 foot 10 inches and was dressed in a tuxedo, no doubt for the event of the evening. His skin looked a bit pale, from lack of being out doors, but none the less, he was a handsome young man all the same.

When Shuichi and the others approached him, Natsume's face became bright pink. His eyes scanned over Shuichi's slender figure and his cheery expression. Before anyone could notice, Natsume shook his head slightly and smiled as he extended a hand to Shuichi, and to Hiro and Fujisaki.

"Welcome to the Hyunna entertainment hall Bad Luck" Natsume spoke in a soft yet polite voice as he shook each of their hands. "My name is Natsume Hyunna, I am in charge of this evenings events".

"Nice to meet ya" Shuichi replied with a grin. "My name is Shuichi Shindou and these are my friends".

"I'm Hiroshi Nakano" explained Hiro with a soft smile, "but you can just call me Hiro for short ".

"I am Suguru Fujisaki" added Fujisaki with a grin, "but please, just call me Fujisaki".

Photographers took pictures of Bad Luck shaking hands with Natsume for the front page of their respective newspapers. After introductions were finished, Natsume escorted the band to the stage where all of the new equipment they would be using was waiting for them.

"Here are your new instruments" Natsume explained as he handed Hiro a new guitar and Showed Fujisaki to his new keyboard. "I would suggest you take a little time to adjust to their new features and sounds" he continued as he picked up a headset and walked over to Shuichi. "For you Mr. Shindou, we have a new kind of headset microphone". He began to adjust the headset on Shuichi's head, though he was blushing the entire time.

"So what exactly is so special about the mic?" Shuichi asked curiously as he poked at his headset.

"Well" began Natsume, "this microphone will amplify your voice a little more so that even on a slow day for you, your voice will not fall under the sounds of the instruments. On top of that, it will automatically blend your voice to fit with the music being played, not to much mind you, just enough so that even if you happen to miss a note on a song, the audience wont notice. I'm sure someone as talented as you wouldn't make such a mistake though".

Shuichi blushed a small bit at this comment and Natsume did as well. "Well then" Natsume stammered before regaining his composure "I'll leave you all to set up, the show starts in 15 minutes, so please be ready". With that last statement, Natsume walked off, stopping only for a split second to take one more look at Shuichi before walking off and out of sight.

Everyone went on adjusting their instruments in near silence, until Fujisaki decided to start a conversation between them.

"You know Mr. Shindou" he began, "if I didn't know better, I would say that Mr. Hyunna had a bit of a crush on you". Shuichi just happened to be taking a sip of water at this moment, and spit it out across the stage.

"Are you kidding me?" Shuichi objected, "Everyone in Japan knows that I'm dating Yuki by now, and besides, those business guys aren't my type".

"Businessman aren't exactly the kind to keep up with social events and musical conspiracies Shuichi" Hiro explained as he tuned the guitar. "You have to understand that this guy may not know about your personal matters so you may have to tell him straight out".

Shuichi looked down a little at this statement. "I was afraid you were going to say that" he sighed in dismay. "I've never been good at rejecting people".

"You don't have much of a choice" Fujisaki explained as he played a few notes "unless you want Mr. Yuki to have the wrong idea of you". Shuichi's head perked up at this thought.

"I guess you're right" Shuichi muttered under his breath. He didn't want Eiri to have the wrong idea of him, but he did feel bad that he would have to disappoint Natsume. It was for the best though, he did agree with that, and it had to be done no matter what.

A stagehand called 5 minutes until show time, and the Bad Luck members prepared for the show. "Are you guys ready for this?" Shuichi asked, knowing full well what the answer would be.

"Aren't we always?" both of them replied as they prepared their instruments. Shuichi smiled as the stage hand counted down the last ten seconds, then the curtain opened and the lights shined forth.

"Ladies and gentleman" boomed Natsume's voice over the speakers, "It is my pleasure to introduce tonight's entertainment, the biggest pop sensation in Japan, Bad Luck!"

Fujisaki and Hiro began to play The Rage beat music and Shuichi started to sing. The aristocrat filled crowd was instantly enthralled by the bands miraculous sounds. Natsume stood off to the side on stage and watched Shuichi with wide eyes. He was stunned as he watched the young performer sing and dance.

The concert went on for a while and the fans cheered with joy and new found admiration for Bad Luck. The clock above the stage read 11:59pm as Bad Luck brought their music down to silence.

"Alright everyone" called Shuichi as he pointed to the clock, which was about to hit the last 10 seconds, "Lets count in the new year!" The crowd began to count from 10 seconds on, and Natsume motioned for Shuichi to go backstage for a moment. Shuichi nodded and proceeded backstage, knowing this would be the time to turn Natsume away.

As the crowd reached 5 seconds, Natsume stood close to Shuichi and stood very silent. When Shuichi opened his mouth to speak, Natsume stopped him by embracing him and kissing him passionately just as the clock struck midnight. The roof of the entertainment hall opened up to reveal a fabulous display of fireworks. Natsume broke the kiss and blushed silently, and Shuichi did the same.

"My apologies Mr. Shindou" Natsume whispered as he bowed to Shuichi then turned his back, "I don't know what came over me…perhaps….it was love". The moment he said that, he took off running from the stage and hid in back in his private office. Shuichi stood there speechless , he didn't know why, but he couldn't bring himself to chase after Natsume and tell him about Yuki. Why couldn't he? Perhaps…it was love.

End chapter 1

CW- so, what did everyone think? I know it isn't that great at first, but it is only chapter 1, and I promise as the story progresses I will get much better at capturing the essence of Gravitation. The coming chapters will have everything the anime had, Drama, Angst, Comedy and a lot of suspense. I promise I will do my best to enthrall you with this story, I swear it on my talents as an acclaimed fanfic writer!

Shuichi- acclaimed? You've only written about 3 good fanfics that got good reviews and no flames, the rest were all things you did when you were bored

CW- ok, ok, so I am not the best writer around, but if you check out some of my better works "which are my latest works" my talents as a writer have developed a lot, and I'd like to think I capture the essence of those fanfics as I will with this one. Take for example, my "The Return Of Kratos" and "The Revenge Of Angelos Illume" fanfics

Shuichi- alright fine, I'll give you some credit

Yuki- your writing is still elementary at best

Me- are you comparing me to Shuichi?

Shuichi- Yuki! That's an insult you jerk

Yuki- "puts an arm around Shuichi" yours has gotten better, his hasn't
