(The concert finally started and the whole band was on stage…)

Koeno- Konnichiwa minna-chan!! I'm Koeno on vocals, on guitars we have Daion and Kage, on bass we have Asahi, and on drums we have Sakebi!! - - -

(16 minutes later)

Koeno- We're "Kurayami Tori"!! Tonight we'll play some new songs!! And—

Crowd- Ughhh! (Starts getting mad and started to "boo" the band) You suck! PLAY A D*** SONG! SHUT UP!! BOO!!!

Kage- Geez…what a bunch of drunks!! (Backs away from the front of the stage)

Koeno- But..They told me to hush.. (Tears) WELL I'LL PLAY A D*** SONG THEN!! (Has a fitt)

Daion- Koeno, just calm down and start…only 43 minutes left…Domo Arigato!! (Was very mad)

Asahi- (Speaks to crowd) We'll play "Oki-Machigaeru Shinzo" first!

Koeno- W-Waaitt!! (Was getting nervous)

Crowd- Now!! (They start mosh pitts and act werid)

Koeno- … (Thinking) These people came to see us…but now they're drunk..I - - I can do this.. (Stands on a box due to his height) MASHO UGOKU!! (He finally starts singing)

(Band start's performing "Oki-Machigaeru Shinzo")

Koeno- *Niteiru hitori no hime…Your love remains…kimi kimo…Shitai Kagayaki…As I still see your face…haunt me…Will you ever return to see me…Or, am I still dreaming..Goodbye's …Will never exist the same…*

(40 minutes later)

Crowd- GYAHH!! (Cheers and screams) "KURAYAMI TORI"!!

Koeno- (All exhausted and tired) …Kura-shima, did you hear…the…mess…age.. (Passes out)

Everyone- (Shocked and confused) AHH!! (All the fans started to push and shove everyone in their way)

Sakebi- (Feels Koeno's pulse)…It's no good..he's going into cardiac arrest…SOMEONE CALL AN EMT!!

Kage- (Calls) Hello…CAN YOU COME OVER TO THE GUREN COMPLEX HALL!! YOU HAVE TO HURRY!!! MY FRIEND HE'S!!—

EMT- …yes…sir… (Scared of Kage's voice) Right away!!

Asahi- Koeno! Answer me!! Answer!! (Shakes Keno)

Daion- Asahi you'll kill him at that rate..It's no use to leave him here.. (Picks Koeno up) Koeno…will you ever learn…I'm taking him to the back… (Runs to the back)

Koeno- …Kura…shima… (Lost in his dream)

In Koeno's dream (about 7 years ago)

Koeno- Huh? Where am I?!! (Looks around)…Kurashima…

Kurashima- You're in the deep forest…Where your mother was killed three years ago…remember…

Koeno- …I let..her die..I couldn't stop her…She went forward…and was killed by a pack of wolves…I was stupid…that's when I was fourteen…

Kurashima- ..Koeno…I never asked you this…but what's your future dream? Like a Goal…

Koeno- I..I think I want to be a lead vocalist…I want to change or prevent others from doing the wrong things I did…I can't even think of them…

Kurashima- …Yeah…I always wanted to be a lead guitarist..even though I'm a girl that would be better…My parent's never appreciate anything I do…I want to show them something that would make them something that would make them proud somehow…It's a promise…our first concert will make ROCK HISTORY!! Even if it's just you…

Koeno- Kurashima…you'll be there, in the band and we'll play together..forever…

Kurashima- Koeno..thank you... (She falls asleep while resting her head on Koeno's stomach)

Koeno- …Uhhh…! (He wasn't able to move so he ended up falling asleep too)

(30 minutes later)

Koeno- (Stretches)…That was a nice nap.. (Looks around and saw snow) ..Wait it's summer…Kurashima? Where are you? ( He looked down and saw footsteps) Must be Kurashima's…why didn't she wake me…the forest is dangerous…b-blood? (He saw blood all over the snow and saw her ribbon) …??!! KURASHIMA!! Y- - you didn't!! Please…no…I'm – alone again… (He started to cry) D*****!! I- - It's all my FAULT!! I Should of known..Kurashima..I - - I'm …sorry… (Picks up ribbon) please..forgive me.. (Puts ribbon in pocket)(A pack of wolves came forward) ..wolves? You - - you killed mom!! And Kurashima!!! I'LL KILL YOU!! B******!!! (Tried to attack but he got attacked) …Is this...the end…no.. (He was bleeding on his leg) I'm too young to die… (He passes out)

(1 hour later)

Koeno- (Wakes up) …snow? Am I dead..? (Looks around) …Kurashima..your gone…forever… (The snow was getting worse…) I'm stuck… (Falls asleep)

?- (Sees Koeno) Hurry! I think he's still alive..hey get over here!

(10 minutes later)

Koeno- Huh? …where am I now…hey, I know this place!! (Looks around) AHHHH!! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!! HELP!!

?- AHHH!! Wait…your awake…sleepyhead…

Koeno- Who are you..? Where am I…?

?- Koeno…I'm Sakebi and this is Asahi…remember…

Koeno- Wait…you're a man…then why are you wearing a wedding dress…holding flowers..and…YOUR PREGNAUNT!! AHHH!! (Cover eyes)

Sakebi- Me and Asahi are getting married!! And this will be our first child…hee hee…

Asahi- After all this is a dream…anything can happen…

Koeno- AHHH! WHAT THE H***!! KOENO WAKE UP!! PLEASE!! WAKE UP!! PLEASE!!…

* End of scary dream* (Finally!!)

Koeno- …AHH!! Sakebi don't marry Asahi!! Your both guys!! …Oh!! It was all a dream...God..that was way too much info…Kurashima I'm sorry!! (Rolls in his bed but he fell off) ITAI!!…I'm in my bedroom? But how?…

(Footsteps get closer and enter Koeno's room)

Daion- Man… (Stretches) That's the last stage dive I'll do… (Sees Koeno) …KOENO YOU'RE ALIVE!! (Glomps Koeno) …DON'T DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!! (Squeezes him harder) …I WAS SO WORRIED!!

Koeno- Ugghh!! Daion get off of me!! Where is everyone? What happened? (Stands up) How was the concert?

Daion- Everyone's asleep…it's 7:30 A.M., you woke me up again!! We were about to perform "Kurayami" and you passes out!! We rushed to take you to the hospital…The doctor told us to bring you back…We did and then we crashed!! Oh, and concert was kicka**!!! The crowd loved us…

Koeno- "Kurayami" …That was the only song I ever wrote with someone else's life…I wrote that song for her…Kurashima…the only girl who noticed me…and actually understood my song lyrics…she understood me…

Daion- …That must be hard…losing someone you love…my parents hated me…so I hated them more…No one's ever listened to me…except…you…

Koeno- Well, I guess we were meant to meet each other and form a band…and now were BEST friends!! Almost like brothers…Look at the band NOW!!

Daion- Hey Keno!! Let's go get something to eat…I'm starving…some dango sounds good….

Koeno- I don't know..what about everyone else…won't they be hungry…? (He was starving but he didn't want to eat dango for breakfast)

Daion- It's 7:35 A.M. …I'm sure the lines already long…

Koeno- …Fine…but I'm not eating anything sweet. (He hates anything sweet except for "Strawberry" flavors)

Daion- Great!! Let's go!! (Pulls on Koeno's arm) …but your paying..Alrighty…

Koeno- ..D***…as long as it's not overly priced… (Thinking) Even though I've lost them…There's still a chance that happiness can break through…through all my sorrow…Kurashima, you gave me a promise and I won't forget it…
