(Chapter 4: Sing to me Ryuichi! Part 2)

"Attention, everyone! The show will be starting very soon. We'd like for everyone still outside the Tokyo Dome to quickly line up in orderly fashions, and present their tickets at the doors."

At the voice's command over the loud speaker, everyone formed lines and crowded around the doors. The lines going inside were long and it seemed almost impossible to move through the crowds of people. The Tokyo Dome was quickly filling up with excited fans and the streets were packed with cars.

One car pulled up to the curb just outside of the entrance and a tall dark-haired teenager stepped out.

"Bye! Thanks for the ride!"

The car drove away and Tatsuha gawked with excitement at the scene in front of him. The Dome was huge with bright searchlights illuminating the night sky. A large electronic billboard glowed brilliantly at the top as it advertised the concert with a picture of Nittle Grasper, and Tatsuha's excitement grew when he looked at his idol's big, strong eyes staring down at him from it.

He ran up to the crowd and pushed his way through to the shortest line he could find. The people around him were laughing and chanting as they got closer to the doors where their tickets were checked.

"Noriko-chaaan!"

"Tohma! Tohma!"

"Ryuuuichii!"

Tatsuha could see the door from where he stood in line and told himself repeatedly that he was almost there. The line was moving faster and getting shorter, when another voice sounded over the loud speaker.

"Attention! Everyone! The show will be starting in 15 minutes! We ask that everyone with a ticket present it at the door immediately before the doors close."

By the time the announcement finished Tatsuha was already at the door, and the only thing standing between him and the show was a Tokyo Dome employee.

"Present your ticket please."

"Oh, yeah!" Tatsuha reached for his back pocket and froze, "…nothing."

He patted himself down frantically in search for his ticket but found nothing. He went into total shock, "I can't believe this! It was in my back pocket. Where the hell is it?!"

"Ticket please!" The employee's tone was forceful.

Tatsuha scratched his head, still in shock, and retraced his steps in his mind. The people in the line behind him were angry at the holdup.

"Hey! Move it up there!"

"Will someone get this guy out of the line? The show's going to start!"

Tatsuha completely ignored the shouts at him and concentrated. "Let's see…I took it out at the restaurant, but…I put it in my back pocket, and…the waitress pinched…The waitress!"

"THAT BITCH!" His voice was loud and the crowds of people stared at him, "That bitch stole my ticket!"

The employee immediately tried to take control of the situation, "Sir, please step to the side!"

A large security guard standing nearby pulled Tatsuha out of the line and walked him over to the side of the building where there were less people around.

"O.K., kid" The guard spoke in a deep voice, "Why don't you run along now. Go home."

In Tatsuha's frustration, after having lost his ticket to a pick pocket waitress, he couldn't control his anger and became defiant.

"I am not leaving! Let me into this building right now!"

The security guard grabbed his arm, "This is your last warning. Leave now!"

"Let go of me!" Tatsuha shook his arm loose and looked the security guard in the eye, "You don't know who you're messing with, do you!" He took a few slow breaths to calm himself and then straightened his posture, "I am Eiri Yuki!"

"Long time no see! We're Nittle Grasper!"

Ryuichi took the mic and the music started. The entire audience swayed back and forth, and danced to the upbeat lyrics of the song. The Dome was full of music and cheers, and none cheered louder than Shuichi.

"Yeah! Nittle Grasper!"

Shuichi watched the concert from V.I.P. box seats, and jumped up and down while the music played. Eiri sat in the seat next to him and covered his ears as he looked up at his lover.

"Won't you shut up?"

Shuichi stopped jumping and turned to him with a large grin on his face, "Yuki, dance with me!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No. Isn't it enough that I'm wearing this stupid outfit you picked out?"

"But you look good." Shuichi sat down next to him and squeezed his arm, "Please! Dance with me. It'll be fun!"

"For the last time, no. So quit bugging me."

Shuichi stood up and smiled at Eiri, "Well, that's o.k., I'm just glad you're actually here with me."

Eiri shot him a look and watched as his lover turned back towards the stage. Shuichi continued dancing and cheering as he watched Nittle Grasper.

"Nittle Grasper! Yeah! Banzai! Go Sakuma--"

In the middle of his cheering he felt something grab his hand.

"--san?"

He looked up and found Eiri clutching his hand with a smirk on his face.

"Yuki?"

"Shall we then?" Eiri sighed stubbornly as he pulled his lover closer to him.

Shuichi's eyes lit up instantly, "Wha? You're really gonna dance with me Yuki?!

"Why the hell not?" he replied, "A promise is a promise."

Back outside the Dome, Tatsuha still stood in front of the security guard. He crossed his arms and waited impatiently, while the guard talked on his two-way radio. There was a sudden loud cheering coming from inside the Tokyo Dome, and Tatsuha dropped both his arms to his sides. "It's started already!" he growled, and he threw his head back in disappointment.

"Uh-huh. Yeah. That's correct? Are you sure?" the security guard spoke into the radio and nodded his head frequently, "Yes. Yes. Alright. Understood." He looked at Tatsuha with a devious smirk before ending the conversation, "Over and out."

"Y-You see?" Tatsuha argued, "I-I'm Eiri Yuki! And you're making one of the biggest mistakes of your life. One that you'll soon regret!"

The security guard laughed at him, "Please kid! If you're Eiri Yuki than I'm Shuichi Shindou!" The guard began laughing hysterically and Tatsuha didn't know what to say. When the guard finally stopped and caught his breath, he spoke again.

"I just talked to one of the managers inside the Dome. He says you couldn't possibly be Eiri Yuki, because Eiri Yuki is inside right now with Shuichi Shindou in the V.I.P. section!"

Tatsuha couldn't speak. The security guard continued talking. "So you see? Your stupid tricks don't work. You're not famous. You're a nobody, a half-wit who thought he could out-wit me. You've got no ticket and so you've got no place here. Leave. Before I have you arrested for trying to sneak in without paying."

Tatsuha made no reply. He just stood there and watched the guard walk back towards the entrance. He was left all alone outside the Dome.

There was no one around and the only noise, besides the occasional passing car, came from the screams and shouts that echoed from inside the building. He stood there for a long while and when he felt he had enough strength to move, he slowly walked to a nearby phone booth.

The young teenager dialed a number and waited for the phone to stop ringing. When someone picked up he whispered into the phone, "Hello? I need a ride. Could you please pick me up?"

A couple of hours later, Tatsuha walked through the front door of his sister's mansion. The lights were on, but there was no one in sight. He closed the door behind him and took off his shoes. Just as he began to move forward a maid walked in. She dropped her bag when she saw him.

"Oh! Uesugi-san! You startled me." She took a deep breath and bent over to pick up the bag, "I didn't expect you back so early."

"Where's Mika?"

"Oh, she went to the concert to watch Seguchi-san perform." The maid noticed Tatsuha's sullen expression and became a little concerned. "Oh my, you don't look too good. Would you like me to prepare something for you?"

"No, I'm fine. I just need to be alone."

The maid dismissed herself, and he walked through the mansion to one of the rooms with a television in it. He sat down on a couch facing a large television and stared at the black screen.

"…Everyone's at the concert but me…"

He turned the T.V. on and flipped through the channels until he came across a special live coverage of the Nittle Grasper concert, only available to audiences with enough money to pay for it and sponsored by Wani T.V.

Tatsuha was quiet as he stared at his idol on the screen. Ryuichi was sweating and laughing. He'd just finished a song and was catching his breath. "Whoa! You guys are an awesome crowd!" Tohma and Noriko were in the background waving and Ryuichi was wiping the sweat of his face. He ran his hand through his hair and spoke into the mic. "Yeah, this is great. It's great to be here! Now's about the time we slow things down for a minute. This next song goes out to…well, to anyone feeling lonely out there!"

The music started up again, and it was slower and calmer. Tatsuha closed his eyes and let Ryuichi's soothing voice comfort him. Each word from his idol's mouth seemed to describe him perfectly, and Tatsuha pretended that Ryuichi was singing only to him.

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it. It's sad how badly poor Tatsuha's treated, right? He has a lot of bad luck in this chapter. But don't worry! Ryuichi will make it all better, in the next chapter. I hope to post that one sooner. Oh, and thanks for the reviews. They are very nice.
