Three already... this is moving pretty fast. I guess it's because I've had all these ideas just stewing in my brain for such a long time that I had to expel them quickly. And yes, these first three chapters are Hyde-centric, but the next one is all about Gackt.

And now I'll go back to sitting in my basement sipping at delicious milk tea.

Read and Review!

HYDE's POV AGAIN

----------------------------------------------

Chapter Three: The next day...

"So where were you last night?" Megumi asked. She can be so sweet. I love her, I really do, but sometimes she's just too much.

"Gackt's. We were working."

It's just past the ass-crack of dawn and Megumi thinks I've been out drinking or whatever it is women think that men do when they're not at home in the middle of the night. Okay, so it doesn't look too good for me. And I guess I was drinking, but it was a completely controlled environment. Sort of.

Anyhow, I'm tired. I want to go back to sleep. I woke up at Gackt's house, nearly shat myself, then tried to leave and ended up falling down his infernal stairs. He magically popped out of no where and escorted me out, I assume he went back to sleep after words. It was a bit light out and I got a glimpse of the 'morning Gackt' that few people ever see. It was hilarious.

"Are you listening to me, Hideto?" Megumi looks sort of mad.

"I'm sorry Megumi," I pulled her into a hug, knowing she wouldn't resist. "For making you worry and for staying out so late." She relaxed and I was relieved. I kissed her lightly on the lips before pulling away. Damn, I was tired.

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up later and make you something to eat," she told me. She was trying to sound angry, or at least slightly upset, but all that came out was a loving worried tone. It was cute.

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow wondering what Megumi was going to make me. I was almost as hungry as I was tired. I slept for almost three hours before the phone rang. I was having a really good dream too. I was walking on the beach and some kid ran up to me and gave me an ice cream cone. Every time I took a bite, it regenerated. It was like a magical ice cream cone that lasted forever. And it was yummy too.

Back to the phone though. It rang twice and I figured Megumi wasn't going to answer it. So I did.

"Heggo?" I mumbled, my face in a pillow.

"Hello. Is this the Takarai residence?" a voice asked. I said 'yesh'. "This is Uni Wasabi, Gakuto-san's manager for his untitled film."

Geez, this guy had a stick or two shoved him where the sun don't shine. I stayed silent and waited for him to continue.

"I will assume that this is Hideto-san?" Another 'yesh' from me. Boy, am I the king of articulation. "You have a meeting scheduled with Gakuto-san, your manager, and me at six this evening at Hanaka's to discuss proper payment for your involvement in Gakuto's untitled film."

I hung up the phone, then left it off the hook before going back to sleep. This time my dream was more of a nightmare. The kid ran up to me and gave me the same damn ice cream cone, but every time I tried to take a bite, it melted before regenerating itself. My hand was really sticky. It sucked. Then the ice cream started to yell my name, so I threw it into the ocean.

"HiDETo!"

"WHAT?!" I roared, springing up from bed. It was Megumi with my cell phone.

"Uni Wasabi. He says you're in a movie! Why didn't you tell me?" She was excited, angry, tired, and pleased all at once. It was sort of scary, but it managed to wake me up.

I took the phone from her and listened to the same rehearsed speech all over again, but this time I agreed to it before hanging up and turning off my phone. I started to explain the situation before Megumi had a chance to ask.

"Yesterday, I went to Gackt's house and he asked me to be in a movie with him. I'm meeting up with him later today to talk some more about it." I watched the smile on her face grow before she finally hopped into bead with me and smothered my face in kisses.

"That's amazing!" She was really really happy. I wondered if it was because I was in a movie or just because I had a job. Work had been rather slow as of late. It was probably a bit of both.

I have to admit though, I was enjoying the attention from my wife at the moment. Our bedroom life had been substantially less than exciting lately. Maybe not lately... more like for the past few weeks. Or months. Maybe a year? And when she suddenly got up and sprinted to my closet, I realized it was going to stay that way. I held back a disappointed sigh and sat up in bed, running my fingers through my hair. I kinda needed a hair cut.

I don't know how women do it. Sure, every now and then they get into these crazy sex-addicted moods or stages or whatever, but most of the time, they're like robots. Robots don't need sex apparently. Men, however, especially married men, do. Oh well. I seem to be saying that a lot lately. Oh well. Maybe I've finally given up on life, or at least disputing it.

"What will you wear?" Megumi's voice came from the closet. Ha, that's funny. Megumi's in the closet. I laughed out loud at the thought. Her head popped out for a second and she looked at me like I was going crazy before disappearing again. I grinned in spite of myself and rolled out of bed.

I decided that if I wanted to see any action before I died, I best do something about it. I took a deep breath and went into the closet with a single thought in my head. To have a shirt chucked at my head.

"I"m gong to clean out your closet while you're gone," Megumi said affectionately, "It's really a filthy, disgusting, overgrown mess. Really repulsive."

What a turn off. I totally give up. Oh well.

-----------------------------------------

Uni Wasabi was a character from the movie "The Pest" with John Leguizamo It was really funny. I guess using the name is supposed to be an offhanded geeky joke, but if you've seen the movie, you know who I'm talking about XD

So, the next chapter will be Gackt Gackt Gackt. I'm not even going to attempt his POV, I wouldn't know where to start. And there will be no more Hyde/Megumi. At least, not any time soon. I don't think. .

I can't believe I cranked out THREE decent chapters in one day. In twelve hours! I think this story will be done pretty quick, there won't be more than ten chapters, if that many. I dont think?
