Daydreamer: Chapter two! Horohoro will be mentioned more importantly in this chapter. And the italicized stuff is thoughts or stuff in the past. Not much more to say, so here ya go!

Chapter Two

A month passed since Oversoul finished their last tour. They sat around in Yoh's living room, the clock's ticking and the occasional chirping of birds being the only sounds. Faust was reading a book while Yoh and Ren sat across from each other and stared distantly out the window. Silent it was, but peaceful it wasn't, at least not within. If truth be said, the band members weren't used to such tranquility. Because by now, even if it was time to relax after a tour, someone would be bickering with Ren like it was now a daily routine. It practically was. But that someone, their ex-drummer, left them on their last concert of their tour. It's only been a month, and the band couldn't quite adapt to it. And anyone could guess that Ren was having the hardest time. Being his arrogant self that he is, in his dignity and pride, he wore a cool exterior. But below the skin of the small, still figure was growing irritation. That part was also what was currently displeasing him. For three years he put up with the bluenette, yearning for peace and quiet. So here it was, quiet. So why didn't he feel at peace?

And that would always bring up another thing to Ren. If he wanted peace and quiet, why didn't he just get rid of the annoying Ainu and replace him with a different drummer when he had the chance? Why did he put up with him for three years? In fact, come to think of it, the Chinese has never put up with so much for so long with anyone but Horohoro. He's never bothered to put up with so much as daily arguements with anyone else. They both were like bugs under the other's skin, but they still put up with it.

Ren let out a light sigh. That was all he and Horohoro did, argue and put up with each other. If not, they'd get together somewhere and have sex. That part was really a cycle. They get together, have sex, wake up together, he ignores Horohoro, they both go separately to wherever they need to go, and it's the same thing a few days later. The only other time they saw each other again was practice or performance. There were sometimes when it was outside of that and not for sex. At first not a lot at all since they considered each other intolerable. But the number of times spent together eventually grew in the three years. But still, they couldn't say they really spent any quality time together as normal friends would, let alone like close, maybe even best friends would. But then again, they did do a lot of shouting.

Ren realized that the sun was setting and the sky was turning from purple to sprakling velvet. Faust has gone somewhere, but Yoh was sound asleep on the couch. The Chinese never thought so much time could pass from just thinking about one person. About Horohoro. He watched Yoh and his peaceful expression with his calm gold orbs. He doesn't even sleep with the young guitarist anymore

It's hard to say that I was wrong
It's hard to say I miss you
Since you've been gone
It's not the same

Ren walked towards the hotel in the pouring rain, no one recognizing him with his draped hair that covered his eyes. He ignored the odd stares he recieved when he went into the hotel and went straight up to where his room was. When he came to the door, he could hear Faust wasn't alone. Manta's panicking voice could be heard through the door.

"Where'd he go! He needs to know this too!" Ren raised a brow questioningly and gave a few firm knocks. Yoh opened the door and quickly pulled him in when he saw that it was Ren. The Chinese male was surprised that he recieved no towels, and how soaked he was seemed to be far from Manta's concerns when the manager saw him.

"Where were you!"

"...Out for a walk."

"In this weath...ugh! Forget it, that's not important."

"I'm glad you care."

"Shut up and look at this." Ren eyed Manta sharply. No one ever told Tao Ren to shut up, no one. But Manta took no notice and before Ren could say a word, the shorter held up a newspaper.

"What?"

"LOOK!" Manta pointed to an article. Ren snatched the papers, but said nothing even though Manta's attitude was displeasing his already mildy mood. Still being on tour, they haven't really kept up with any news, though usually they didn't really bother. But the vocalist didn't know what could upset Manta so much that even Ren's attention was needed. But his eyes widened a bit when he saw Horohoro's picture. And he didn't even know what to think when he read the title of the article.

Daydreamer: GASP! Poor Horohoro! I know how...unpleasant and strange it sounded when it came to what went on between Horohoro and Ren. But like I said in the beginning, this is based around someone else's idea/project. To get a more understanding of what I mean, I suggest you go to this url: "goldenrain(dot)banditdance(dot)com/oversoul". i meant to put this up in my last a/n, but apparently it got screwed up. replace the (dot)s with real dots, and i hope this time you can get there. then click "fanfic". From there click on the fic called "What he sees in you". That's just Yoh and Horohoro having a conversation, but it pretty much explains everything about the sex they had and how much time they spent (or rather say didn't spend). That fic is a cannon fic of Oversoul, so it did in fact happen within the band. So keep in mind that it's not my idea, please. If anything else comes up for explaining, I'll mention it later in next chapters. And review please!
