Hiyah everybody!! ^-^
When you read this you will notice that two of the band members will be called by their instruments and i just want to let you know that it's because they apparently don't have names. If they do then don't hesitate to correct me.
Enjoy ^-^

..:~: KyokoPOV :~:..
I looked at Reino waiting for him to say something. He wasn't mad. That much I could tell. But I still didn't know what he is thinking. After I told him that I think he should stop singing his face went completely blank. Not a trace of emotion. I started getting worried until he finally said, "Why would you want me to do that?" At least he wasn't mad. He sounded confused.
"Well I know that your agency just got you to bring down Sho but what exactly are you getting from all this? I know you get money, fame, fans. But do you really want all that? I realize that's what most people become celebrities for but you aren't doing it for those. Your doing it just for the pleasure of watching someone suffer. Even if it's Sho I don't think that anyone should have to go through that just because someone wants to make them squirm. I bet you don't even enjoy singing. The only reason that I could think of you actually agreeing to do this is that maybe someone like Sho did something to you and you decided to make sure that no one else has to go through what you did." I was about to go on but I saw a flash of unease go through his face. My eyes widened. "That's it, isn't it?" He didn't say anything but he averted his eyes away from me. I could tell that this was a soft spot for him. His face was composed but it showed the barest hint of not pain but torture.
I walked over to him and placed my hand on his cheek. "Do you want to talk about it?" He leaned into my hand and held it tightly with his own. I could have sworn that I almost heard him whimper. Reino turned his face to kiss my palm and he closed his eyes. He breathed in and out for a few minutes and finally looked back at me. "I'll tell you sometime. I'm just not ready now. And besides I'm sure you have to work soon." he said switching from a low and vulnerable voice to an almost normal voice if it didn't still sound slightly broken. I took out my phone and checked the time. Nine twenty three. Hmm. I have thirty seven more minutes. "Soon. In a little over thirty minutes." His face fell a little. He probably thought that he'd have to tell me what happened. "You don't have to tell me anything. Well except for how you knew all those things about me." I told him. He was relieved that I didn't press him for information but he smiled sheepishly at me for what I wanted to know.
"Well let's just say that their was a reason you called me a stalker." I gaped at him and he laughed at my expression. "Okay then. Maybe I should call Tsuruga san again and tell him what you have been doing." He smirked evilly and it reminded me of what he used to be like. I couldn't help but feel more attracted to him. But I was still worried. "Then what do you think he'd do if I told him that you asked me to meet him here?" Damn. He was right. I could say that he was lying but then again I wouldn't want him to get in trouble. And because Tsuruga san might catch me on my lie. "And there's also another reason." I could tell that he was just teasing me by not telling me about it.
I also caught one more thing from Reino when I looked at him. He was a little edgy. Like he wanted to leave as soon as possible. I guess that part of his past really bothers him. For someone who is a singer he can sure hide his emotions pretty well. As if he was acting…
"You can go if you want." I told him. He looked up at me, surprised. "How'd you…?" he asked. I laughed. "I'm an actress. Studying people has become sort of my hobby. And don't worry. I won't feel bad if you leave." I assured him. That was only half a lie. I will feel bad but not as bad. Not that I'd ever tell him that. I'm not an actress for nothing. He was about to protest but I said, "And I'm sure the rest of your band members are worried about you. That is if you even want to continue with the band. You should also think about that." He kept a stoic face and nodded as he jumped off the LME building and disappeared into thin air. He might be scary at times but that was way cool. (Me: You'd think that someone so fragile and lacks stamina wouldn't be able to do that.) I picked up my jacket and started onto my way to Mr. Sawara's office.
..:~: Reino's POV :~:..
I got back into my car and drove back to my agency. Kyoko's words kept ringing in my head. "I bet you don't even enjoy singing." "…just for the pleasure of watching someone suffer." "…did something to you…" "…make sure that no one else has to go through what you did…"
I leaned my head against the steering wheel. She was right. So right. "I think you should stop with you're singing career." That thought is what she was the most right about. Her eyes just said one thing. It's not worth it. And it isn't worth it. Not any more. Not if it makes her unhappy. Hell. It started making me unhappy.
I got out of my car and headed to the music room where the rest of them were. They all looked up when I came in. Some of their faces looked worried when they looked at me. I wonder what I look like right now. "I need to talk to you guys." I said seriously.
"Aww. What happened Reino? You look tensed." Miroku said. "Actually I am." I confessed. "Why, what happened? Did you get turned down by a ghost or something?" The guitarist asked. "No. I wanted to talk about something that's rather important. And it concerns all of you." I stopped and looked at all of them. Shizuru and Miroku were pretty calm while the other two were confused. "I…um…I don't think that I can do this…the band…anymore." I said looking away from their shocked faces. And those two amused faces.
"You want to quit the band? Why?!" The keyboardist asked. "Because a friend of mine convinced me that what I was doing was selfish and that it wasn't worth it." I answered. He was still panicking along with the guitarist.
"So the fake angel convinced you? That is who you went to see right?" Shizuru asked. My eyes widened, "That one over there sort of figured it out." he said pointing at Miroku. He smirked and said, "So are you guys together or what?"
I smiled. Those two were the one's that understood me the most. "It's…not exactly." I hesitated. They both chuckled and the other two were confused. The two started explaining to them and then they were congratulating me. But then they started complaining as to why I had to fall for the "fake" angel. I just laughed and told them, "She's more of an angel then I could ever imagine." They grinned but then they frowned. "So what are we going to do now if we don't have a band anymore?" asked guitar. Oh. I haven't really thought of that.
"I don't know about you but I'm still sticking to music." Keyboard said holding up his hand. "Me too." said guitar. I turned to Miroku and the Shizuru. "I'm staying." Miroku said. And that leaves one. "I never really was planning to professionally play music I just enjoyed it. But I was actually more interested in acting." He said. Acting? "What?" I snickered.
"Don't give us that reaction. You should go into acting too." he said. Me? And acting? "He's right, you know." Miruko started. I turned to him. "You've been hiding your soft side for a while now. Even I didn't realize it until Shizuru pointed it out. You could be pretty good at acting." I thought he was the one that always saw through me. Did I really hide it that well? Shizuru could see the question on my face and said, "I like studying people. It's a hobby." That sounds familiar. I snickered. "Kyoko said that same thing a little while ago." I said before he could ask.
"So what are we going to do now? I mean we just lost 40% of our band in less than 15 minutes." Guitar said sinking to the couch. "Well I guess that we could keep going with the band for a while longer until we are absolutely sure as to what we are going to do." I said sinking into the sofa myself. "If we are going to go into acting," I said the word weirdly "then Miroku and you two will have to find a new lead singer and bassist." I new very well that Miroku would be calm and the other two will be going on rampage.
"I guess we should have seen this coming. After how much attention you showed to the fake ange- I mean Kyoko, we should have known that she was changing you." guitar said looking down. I'm not sure if I heard that right. Him. Probably the most outrageous one of the two is actually saying something like this. And in a serious tone. I couldn't help but smile. "What can I say. I love her."
The End……………………………................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Of this chapter that is.
