The entire band walked through the crowd of fans to try and get to the limo awaiting them to take them back to the school. The order was Cecil in the front of their little line, then Natsuki, Syo, Ittoki, Tokiya, Masato, and finally Ren as some guards followed behind them to keep the fangirls back.

All of the boys were smiling as they made their way to the long white car and the fans were trying to reach them through the guards who were blocking their view of the new boy band. They had just finished the greatest show of their entire life and they were all just so happy. Ren and Masato had become closer as friends, Tokiya and Otoya had become inseparable, Syo and Natsuki were as close as ever, and Cecil was finally getting used to being in a band with great friends to cheer him on. They all had thanked Haruka for being such a great song writer and friend and for wing there for all of them. Everything couldn't of been better...if only they new.

"Hehehe...now disappear STARISH..."

Three loud gunshots were heard from the top of a building...as three bodies fell to the ground with a sharp thud and millions of screams were heard as blood went flying in several directions.

Four boys stared in shock

"NATSUKI!"
"TOKIYA!"
"REN!"

Three names were shouted simultaneously as four worried band mates knelt near their weak friends. The guards had cleared all of the girls out of the way to give the band some space as the four uninjured boys held their friends to there bodies as a means of warmth and just went unmoving. They took off their jackets and set them on the ground and laid all of the bleeding boys down. Masato, who still had some sanity and sense, found his phone and immediately dialed 911.

"911 operator, please state your emergency..." The operator said calmly.

"We need three ambulances straight away! 3 of my friends have been shot and they're bleeding excessively!" Masato yelled over the screaming of the worried and scared fans who had backed off a lot more to give the 3 injured boys more room.

"Please explain the state of condition they're in and where your location is..." Masato could hear people in the background of the phone; no doubt medics getting ready to hop into the ambulances.

"We're at Shining Theatre's near Saotome Academy...a-and..." Masato's emotions were just starting to catch up with him as he stared at the three stiff and unmoving bodies of his friends. He hadn't really gotten a good look at them until now but seeing his three closest friends; their faces smeared with droplets of red and their clothes soaked with velvet.

Ren; his long shoulder-length hair dyed red and a scar from the bullet bleeding from his face and his clothes ripped a little and splotches of blood on his face as his torso was just bleached with red, Tokiya; maybe even worse considering where the blood was bleeding from and had a trail of red coming down his face covering his left eye, and Natsuki; his usual smiling face contorted into one of pain and discomfort as he lay shivering with blood all over his leg and hyperventilating. Masato just wouldn't believe his eyes and stared in horror and made a quiet sob.

"Sir?" The operator seemed a little worried.

"Y-yes...there's t-three of them...I c-can't tell where they were s-shot exactly b-but two were shot in t-their l-lower abdom-men and the o-other o-one in h-his leg..." Masato held back another sob he so desperately wanted to let out but tried his best to keep it contained as he talked to the operator.

"Thank you very much...the ambulances are on their way...take any kind of cloth or clothing and press it to their wounds to try and hold back the bleeding...can you do that?" The operator asked seriously.

"Y-yes..." Masato forced out.

"Good they'll be there soon. Try to keep their attention on you or whomever they know the best...it'll help with them not passing out or losing consciousness..." The operator mentioned before finally hanging up. Masato immediately got up and got into action of taking his jacket and ripping a piece of it off and sticking the cloth to where most of the blood was coming from Ren.

"GAAagh!" Ren groaned loudly as Ittoki, Syo, and Cecil stared in confusion before Masato explained.

"The operator said to take any kind of clothing and press it to their wounds to try and stop the bleeding and Ittoki if Tokiya wakes up, try and keep him awake by talking to him so that he doesn't pass out again, Cecil help Ittoki..." And just like that Masato Hijirikawa was back to his serious and emotionless self but inside he wanted to scream with frustration. The four unwounded boys sat quietly for just a moment as they listened tentatively to the heavy breathing of the boys who'd been shot and for the sound of the ambulance sirens that they'd be able to hear at any moment.

"I-Itto...k-ki...?" Everyone froze and looked to the bundle laying on Otoya's jacket while Otoya tried to keep pressure on Tokiya's bleeding side. Ittoki stared with shock and tears in his eyes at his roommate. Tokiya had one of his eyes slightly open and glazed over while the other was closed with blood dripping from his eyelashes. Ittoki let out a small cry as Tokiya looked sad, weak, and completely helpless as more blood leaked from his body and he winced.

"Tokiya! P-please! Please d-don't die! Y-you can't die! I can't be l-left alone! Not AGAIN!" Ittoki screamed as tears streamed bucket after bucket down his face. The red-head covered his face with one of his arms as the other one lay on Tokiya's stomach still keeping pressure on his wound. Tokiya tried his best to make a weak smile as he started to breath a little heavily and reached his hand up to pull Ittoki's arm away from his tanned face. Ittoki opened his eyes slightly to look at the older wounded singer.

"I-I'm...n-not g-goin...a-any...w-where..." He whispered and Ittoki clenched his eyes closed again as he nodded slowly and helped with rearranging Cecil's jacket over Tokiya's stomach. The purple-haired boy groaned as more pressure was added and he coughed up a small amount of blood that trickled down from his lips. Ittoki had almost fainted but Cecil had rubbed his back to get the icky feeling of puking out of his stomach.

All was well except for the pained screaming coming from a certain tall blonde with hazel-green eyes.

"GAAAH! Aagh! S-Syo...c-chan! I-it...h-hurts!" Natsuki screamed and cried as he started to hyperventilate. All Syo could do was hug his friends and rub his back as he tied his little jacket round the wound on the green-eyed boys leg and tightened it.

"Shh...your alright Na-chan...shh...the pain will be gone before you know it so just relax..." Syo gave a fake smile because really, all he wanted to do was go sit in some dark place and curse the world for ever hurting the one he ever cared about the most. Natsuki hesitantly nodded and it made Syo so stressed to see his most closest friend who always smiled and laughed sobbing and screaming with pain in his small arms. He thought at that moment, 'nothing and I mean nothing will ever hurt you again Natsuki...I'll make sure of it...' And on that day, Syo made an oath that none of his friends would ever be hurt like this again even if it costed his own life.

After about 10 minutes later, Ren had awakened and had coughed up a large amount of blood. Masato had almost puked right on the spot but instead say Ren up so that he could breathe better. The strawberry-blonde had attempted to smile and whispered thanks but just coughed up more of the crimson liquid. Masato had literally started crying and a few tears had dropped to Ren's shoulder as he say against Masato's chest. Ren smiled weakly again and had started crying as well...knowing that he would probably die that day because off the excessively amount of blood he lost.

After about another 5 minutes, the three ambulances finally arrived and about 9 medics (three for each boy) started getting to work on hauling the boys into their own respected ambulance. Masato told Ren's paramedics about his leukemia and Ittoki answered all the questions along with Cecil about Tokiya's health, as Syo talked with another medic about Natsuki. The 3 boys who were allowed to go with their friend. In each ambulance was Masato with Ren, Ittoki with Tokiya, and Syo with Natsuki. Cecil was told to go back to the school, get some things that would be needed for the three uninjured boys and to come back to the hospital. Cecil sighed as he watched the three ambulances drive away and hoped to god that his friends would be alright as he walked to the limo that would bring him back to the school.

~In Ren's Ambulance~

"So you mentioned he had Leukemia correct? Any other medical needs or illnesses?" A paramedic asked Masato as he was jotting down some thing's on a clipboard while another paramedic worked on putting a breathing mask on Ren. Masato almost jumped from the sudden question cause it literally shocked him out of his skin. He hadn't even realized that he's been staring at the strawberry blonde until the medic had poked his shoulder.

"Oh uh no, not that I know of, I'm just a close friend, but if I could get his phone when we get to the hospital, I could call his older brothers and ask them..." The paramedic gave an appreciated nod and set the clipboard down and also went to help the other paramedic with putting some bandages around Ren's stomach which looked a lot harder than it sounds. Ren groaned and yelped with the pain that over came his entire body as he was shifted on the stretcher.

"Hng! Nng..." Masato wanted to plug his ears from the terrible and helpless cries of pain but instead he grabbed Ren's sweaty hand and held it tight. Ren opened his eyes just the slightest and looked around for a moment but was squinting. He finally connected his bright blue eyes with Masato's dark blue ones and gripped Masato's hand tighter as he cried again while squeezing his eyes shut.

"Shh Ren just breathe ok? Hey look at me..." Ren opened his tired eyes and layed them upon Masato. "Your going to get through this Jinguji...so don't you even think about being a lazy ass and letting yourself die..." Masato said with difficulty as he stared a teary eyed at Ren who slowly nodded and relaxed again as the paramedics had finished his make shift bandages. He attempted to slow down his breathing and the pain started to make his body feel really numb.

"M-Masa..." He looked to the blue-haired boy again as Masato started combing his fingers through Ren's blood soaked hair.

"Yes Ren what is it? Don't speak too much...get some rest before we get to the hospital..." Ren nodded weakly but was determined to talk. "M-Masa-to...you...s-said my n-name..." Masato's eyes widened with surprise. It was true, he had been saying Ren's name.

"Your hearing things...just rest now...please..." Masato looked away from Ren's face and just focused on untangling the blondes hair. Ren smiled and stared at at the blue-haired boy. He noticed that his eye sight started getting blurrier by the second but he didn't pay it any mind as he was focused on staring at Masato. Then he saw white. Just plain white and he heared the cry of a certain bluenette calling his name.

~In Tokiya's Ambulance~

"HE'S GONE FLAT! GET ANOTHER SHOCK READY!" One of the paramedics yelled as he prepared to shock Tokiya's unmoving chest. Ittoki just wouldn't move; couldn't move. His body wouldn't allow him to even look at Tokiya's pale face as he looked away. He saw from his peripheral vision, the paramedic electrocute Tokiya back into their world. The heart monitor beeped once...then twice...and then Ittoki was actually able to breathe again. The monitor started beeping a lot more showing that Tokiya was not going to give up any time soon...well considering that this had been about the third time that his heart had stopped throughout the whole time that they've been in the ambulance, nearly giving Ittoki a heart attack each time.

"Hnn..." Tokiya tossed around on the stretcher as the two medics treated his now infected bullet wound, trying to do their best not to get the bullet even deeper into his body.

There was blood everywhere. All over the medics clothes and gloved hands and arms. There was blood on Ittoki's hands and shirt that he'd worn for the concert. The red-head had closed his eyes and put his hands to his side so that he could look at something else rather than his dyed red hands. 'I c-can't believe this...why had e-everything been going so great, but then end up so terrible?!' He mentally screamed. Otoya clenched his eyes closed as much as he could.

The medics stared at Otoya in pity and kept a close eye on Tokiya as he jostled around and landed one of his bloodied hands on Ittoki's leg. The red-head had gasped at the sudden movement but instead of feeling surprised, he felt fear and clutched at the bluenette's weak hand, thinking that his last breath may come soon enough.

"C-come one Tokiya...please...please! Just don't give up yet!" The red-head started sobbing as he clenched Tokiya's hand tighter in his grasps. He thought about all the fun times him and the others have had and all the times that Tokiya had smiled. He wanted everything to be how it should've been.

After the concert they were going to go back to the school and have a celebration party. With drinks and some presents from Haruka and Natsuki's awful snacks. Why did this of all things have to happen? Why did everything just go down hill in the blink of an eye?

"Oh Tokiya..." Otoya sobbed, "I w-wish I c-could trade p-places with y-you...s-so that...you w-wouldn't be...in so m-much pain..."

Little did Otoya know, but the older-injured boy heard everything. He heard the red-head cry over him. He heard him say his true wish. He had a single tear run down his cheek as he felt Otoya's hand tighten around his.

Just when he felt like he could actually open his eyes, the ambulance stopped and two doors opened.

~In Natsuki's Ambulance~

"S-Syo...-c-chan..." Natsuki whimpered. The medics were trying to get the bullet out of Natsuki's leg as Syo held his larger friend in a tight reassuring hug and whispered a little tune in the hazel eyed boys ear. The paramedics had given the taller blonde some anesthetic to help with the pain but all it really did was make the Piyo loving boy sleepy and weak.

"Shh Natsuki it's alright...just listen to my voice ok? Can you do that?" The blonde managed a tired nod and gripped onto the shorter boys left shoulder as the medic had finally pulled away from Natsuki's leg with a little silver bullet in hand. "See Na-chan? They're aaaaall done..." Syo gave a small smile as Natsuki went limp in his arms. "Just sleep now..." Syo whispered as tears streamed down his face as he sobbed quietly into his wounded friends stuff shoulder. He felt so bad for the taller teen and now that Natsuki was asleep, he didn't have to see Syo all broken down and crying.

The short blonde was glad for the anesthetics but was terribly still worried for his friend. Even though all was well now with Natsuki, he still wanted to know the name of the fucking bastard who dared to harm his friends.

Syo made a determined face before whispering. "Wherever you are, and wherever your hiding...I will find you, you fucking bastard..." Syo finished as he felt the ambulance stop and the two back doors opened as he got a glimpse of two other ambulances.
