Chapter Two: Concert tickets

Earlier that day…

"Pyro! Pyro, where did you put my shoes?"

"Their over in the corner by the lamp!"

It had been a year since Ren left, and Pirika had gotten her life together. About three months after Ren left she moved out of the former Flame Inn and moved into Tokyo with Pyro. Actually they were going out, Pyro and her. They had been going out for six months. Together they had make a small shop that sold unique crafts and shamanic supplies alike. It made quite a lot of money actually. With the money they made they were able to buy a good apartment on the Aoyama district of Tokyo.

"Oh! There they are! Thanks."

"No problem."

Pirika slipped on her simple high heel shoes and stood up. It was six o'clock, they still had two hours to get to the store in time for opening. She walked over to her mirror and smiled.

'Still looking good,' she thought to herself.

Pyro walked into their room, fully dressed in his 'KISS' t-shirt and blue jeans. The real draw to working like they worked was the ability to wear what ever you wanted. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

"You look good Pirika."

"You think so?"

"Yeah." He kissed her and then pulled a letter from his pocket. "Jun left this at the door."

He unwrapped his arms from around her so she could open it and smirked. When she did she saw that she had written her a note.

Pirika,

Tonight at eight I'm coming to pick you up for the 'Phoenix Fall' concert. They are not wearing their mask. Oh, Anna and Tamao are coming along.

Jun

She smiled. "She is picking me up tonight. Girl's night out."

"Sounds like fun."

"And Anna is going along, and Tamao. I haven't seen them in ages. Did you hear that Anna is pregnant?"

Pyro's eyes widened. "She is only nineteen!"

"I've heard of younger girls. Well, hurry up. We have to get to the shop."

---

By the time eight o'clock came around Pirika was really excited. She felt like a fifteen year old girl with a crush on one of the Backstreet Boys. 'Phoenix Fall' was her favorite band currently, she loved all the members. But out of all of them she loved the Dragon the most. His voice was so beautiful. She just couldn't wait to see what he looked like under the mask.

Jun did arrive at right o'clock sharp just like she had said she would, and she hugged the Aniu girl once she was close enough. They had became great friends in the moths after Ren's leaving. Pirika really liked handing out with her. And who knew about Jun's nightclub habits?

"Good to see you," Jun said, her smile bright. "And as I promised, I brought Anna and Tamao with me."

Anna came out from behind the Chinese woman and smiled at Pirika. From the look of her you could tell she was at least four months along in her pregnancy. She smiled and hugged her.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time!"

"Fine. How have you been?"

"Oh alright. Just running. It's going well actually. Where's Tamao?"

There was a crash behind them and they looked to see Tammy sitting on the ground, sighing. Pirika was surprised how much she had changed. Her short pink hair was spiked and she wore black eye shadow and pink lip stick. She wore also a low cut black tank top, short shorts, fishnet hoes and leather boots. Tamao stood up and smiled brightly at Pirika, her gold earrings shining in the light.

"Tamao? Oh my god what happened to you?!"

"I changed my look. I though I was due for a change." She hugged her. "I see your doing well."

"Yeah. You also look good, despite the new look. Are you in a gang or something?"

"Goodness no. But let's talk about this later. For now I think we should get to the concert."

Jun nodded and signaled to the car. "Well?"

Pirika grinned and jumped in. "Well, what are you guys waiting for! Let's go!"

----

When they got to the concert hall they had to push their way through the crowed to even get in. It was worth it though. Once inside they grabbed some drinks and headed to the concert room. They managed to make their way to the front against the fence wall and waited.

Finally the curtain began to rise and the first cords of the song 'Johnny Falls' rang through the air. They clapped and yelled their approval along with the other fans. What a great song to begin with. The curtain rose all the way and the lead singer, the Dragon as he was called, came to the mic. Pirika felt he mind freeze when she saw him.

It was Ren Tao. He was the lead singer of 'Phoenix Fall'? She couldn't believe her eyes. There he stood on the stage only a few feet away. He looked good in the black leather outfit he wore, and the light that shone on him gave him an unearthly feel. Her heart beat faster and she felt like running away. But she didn't.

His gold eyes for a moment met hers and she felt old emotions stir up with in her. But the look was brief and when he looked away he began to sing.

"My god," Jun muttered. "It's my little brother. What is he doing, being apart of some rock band? I thought he hated rock."

"That asshole," Anna muttered. Pirika saw her clench her fist and suddenly felt afraid.

"We found him," Tamao said, smiling slightly. "Do you think he will be happy to see us?"

"Not a chance," Pirika muttered. "He left us to get away from us. I don't think that he cares at all."

His big sister however crossed her arms and stared at him. "Well, he is going to get a lecture wither we likes it or not."

Anna smiled. "I like your style."

"Poor Ren," Tamao said with a pouting look. "Three girls lecturing him. He'll be a mess."

"Three girls," the aniu girl asked. "I'm not going too."

"I wasn't talking about you lecturing him," she said, smiling.

So they waited till the end of the concert and then made their way back stage. The other band members seemed surprised too see them thee but Ren didn't notice them right away.

"Ren Tao," came his sister's strong voice and he whirled around to look at her. The woman with copper colored hair looked at them with slight irritation.

"Sister?"

"Yes Ren, it's your big sister Jun. Why haven't you told me where you were?"

"I didn't want the others to know. I don't like their kind polluting my creative space with their negative attitude."

"Our kind," Anna hissed and was about to hit him but Pirika beat her to the punch.

"You asshole," she hissed as Ren went back a step, holding his cheek. "How date you leave me alone with out telling me why! How dare you."

He narrowed his eyes. "And how dare you show your face here, Aniu."

"That sounds so mature, going back to old insults. So, you arrogant dolt. How do you live with yourself?"

"It's easy. I never loved you, I remind myself of that everyday."

Her eyes narrowed dangerously and she slapped him again on the same spot that she had punched him. She gave him a nice bruise with that hit. Then she turned around and left, taking the three other girls with her.

"What was that about," Ama asked and Ren shrugged.

"I don't know." He said but in his mind was telling him. 'I forgot how cute she looks when she is angry…'
