"DAMNIT!"

Natsuki jumped, taking off her headphones and its loud music echoing out still before pausing it. "What?" Kiana punched the wall. "We can't find any good guitarist. We need one that looks good too, I don't care if it's a guy or not…Mou!"

Natsuki laughed, stretching in her extra large white shirt and in her girl-boxers, or as Shizuru loved to preference it, Bootie-shorts. It never ceased to make Natsuki blush.

"Natsuki!"

"What?"

"Learn Guitar."

"Hell no. I'm a gamer girl and a biker girl, I don't wanna be a rocker gamer biker girl."

"What about Shi-"

"Don't bring Shizuru into this. She's…busy." Kiana raised an eyebrow. "Oh is she? Or are you, no not just, but are you utterly, completely jealous of the fact that I'd be spending time with your girl…" Kiana paused, smirking at Natsuki's expression as she almost slipped out the word girlfriend," … best friend?"

Natsuki let out the long breath she was holding, and sighed. "Not that, though, but…but…." Oh crap, Kiana has me there… "Ah, I guess you're right. I don't see her that much anymore…and I don't want you taking her away for the times that I can spend with her."

"Then why don't you do it!"

"Cause…cause…" Natsuki blushed, "I'm afraid I'll snap a string…and it'll cut my finger off…or I might mess up the plug for the AMP and eletricute myself…"

Kiana stared, with a dumbfound expression, and had her jaw drop down to the tanned carpet floor, before exploding into multiple series of laughter; laughing hard, and stopping to once again stare Natsuki in the eye to see if she was serious, getting her answer from the shameful nod, and bursting out into laughter again.

"N-no way! That's why! Come on Natsuki, you might get better at Guitar Hero II, and then win the contest, and get Guitar Hero III for your PS3, which you saved up months to buy, but didn't think of buying games along with it."

Natsuki thought about the contest, she had seen it on a flyer. Of course, Shizuru had said she'd buy it, being the rich best friend Natsuki had, but Natsuki didn't want it, she couldn't have Shizuru spoiling her forever.

Natsuki thought for a moment, and finally nodded her head.

"Alright…but I don't have a guit-"

"Ta-da! I knew you'd say yes so I brought all my other guitar's from California. My step-dad was a lead singer in a band, so he bought me tons, but I brought the ones that worked best for me."

Natsuki stared in awe as Kiana ran out and into her room, and took out two guitar cases, one with a jet black acoustic with what seemed to be Kiana's dad's signature on it, and a black Ibanez, lookin' brand-spankin' new.

Natsuki stared at the guitars, drooling to the beautiful objects the same way she would to new technology in the gamer world, or new models of motorcycles. "Whoa…I think I'll really get interested in this stuff…."

Kiana smirked, "They were the latest two guitars Pa gave me, so I might as well give it to you. I have three other acoustics in my room, and 4 different electrics too. Pa imported me another 7-piece drum set for Kazuko, and a few Bass guitars for Ryu, and they came in during the auditions, so we can practice here if you join, which you had currently just done."

Natsuki nodded, accepting the news, and picking up the slim electric guitar. It felt nice in her hands, not too heavy, and not too light. She plucked the strings before placing her hand on a random fret, and started playing one of her favorite songs.

Kiana grinned happily, seeing that Natsuki already seemed attached to it as much as she did her bike. "Oh wait, where'd you learn how to play?"

Natsuki sighed. "Romiro, Shizuru's caretaker, butler, whatever, used to play an acoustic. He taught me for 5 years, but I quit last year cause I broke a string and it hurt me…"

Kiana giggled, "And that's where you came up with that. You willing to get over it?"

"Uhh…sure…no…" I am not a coward! "Definitely. What's the name of our band?"

Duran ran into the room, yipping around excitedly, and Natsuki picked him up so he could lick her face.

"Certainly not anything with Duran, Natsu-chan, you spoil him…"

"Ah, Shut the hell up."

"Shutting up I will, but alas, the name of the band is Cobalt Blues , since it seems to be most of our favorite colors…"

Kiana ranted on about how much they could do, they could play at gigs, and they might become famous, oh the limitless possibilities of their youthful dreams…

---------------.

TBC.

Yey. A band. Now I have to make up songs…

Think…Non-emo songs…must be happy…oh well, they can do covers .
