notes :
Minna-san,
Domo
Arigatou for taking time out to read my TetsuxHyde fic.
I've had many good reviews about it for the past two years
of its existence and I hope to win your good review too.
I recently REVISED all the chapters and here you will find
added parts and more clear detail to the story. No other
website has my revised story besides my personal website;
VISUAL DREAM and pook's website REINCARNATION.
Revising
the story is something that I've thought out carefully since
I want to make this fic as real-life as possible and make
the characters act like their true selves. But please, don't
get me wrong.... everything in this story is PURELY fictional.
I just used some real L'Arc facts to twist the story around.
Hahaha. So if you are a Laruku member, PLEASE don't be offended!
This story was just made for fans that like the "TetsuxHyde"
saga. I just wanted to add my influence to it. ^o^
The
story takes place in 1998, just after the first part of
their LIGHT MY FIRE TOUR ended. The members took a three
week vacation to rest and do whatever they want. But little
did they know this vacation would start something that would
change all their lives, especially Hyde and Tetsu's. Even
though they lead their own separate lives, they still have
a deep connection to one another. Hidden feelings start
surfacing and memories of the past start haunting them.
Will these feelings finally bring them together and show
them their destiny? Is their relationship really meant to
be or is it just a door back into their past?
....READ
THE STORY!!! ^o^
Any
comments and suggestions are welcome!

Part 5 -
Hyde's
eyes wandered about the room, a nervous smile appeared on
his face as he looked at Ken and Yukki staring at him intently.
Tetsu got up quickly and went into the kitchen to hide the
embarrassed look on his face. He felt guilty for being so
rough with someone as delicate as Hyde, he knew he should've
been more gentle.
"Well,
what happened was..." Hyde began, trying hard not to look
so obvious.
Tetsu
briefly wiped his face with his hand and took a deep breath
as he went back into the room and sat among his band members.
He saw a look of desperation in Hyde's eyes as he tried
to think of an excuse... His eyes traveled down the vocalist's
neck.
"Nee…
Hyde slept with that stupid wire necklace on! No matter
how many times I remind him to take it off, he always forgets.
Now his neck is irritated...can you believe how careless
he can be?!" Tetsu said quickly as Hyde looked at him surprised.
"Ahhh,
Baka!! Why are you sleeping around with that barbed wire
necklace on?" Ken frowned, "Now you got all those nasty
welts on your neck!!"
"Yeah,
that necklace is pretty dangerous even though it's fake!"
Yukki added.
Hyde
took a quick breath of relief as he saw Ken and Yukki buy
into the excuse and laugh at his 'carelessness'. Tetsu also
joined in, giving a quick wink to his cute vocalist.
"So
Haido, how long will you be staying at Tetchan's?" Ken asked
curiously, investigating the situation. He knew there had
to be more to this story because Hyde and Tetsu were acting
pretty strange.
"Nn..."
Hyde looked at Tetsu for a second until he answered, "A
couple of weeks... but I'll probably be back on my own before
our tour starts up again."
"That
soon Haido? You might have to stay under supervision longer."
Tetsu said concerned.
"Well, the doctor did say a couple of weeks ne? I guess
it just depends how I feel." Hyde smiled. Tetsu nodded and
smiled so sweetly at Hyde that Ken couldn't help but notice
it right away.
'There
has to be something going on between these two...' Ken thought
to himself, 'Why don't they just admit it already? But then
again, it's pretty fun seeing them come up with lame excuses.
Geez! I KNOW what hickey's look like and that's exactly
what Hyde has on his neck.. hahaha...maybe I should play
along, too!!'
"Hey,
Haido..." Ken grinned, "What's with that bulge in your pants?"
Hyde's
eyes bugged out in disbelief as he quickly jumped up and
observed the front of his pants, "HUH?!! WHAT?!"
Tetsu
looked at Haido's pants as well, and this made Ken-chan
chuckle even more.
"I'm
just kidding Haido!!" Ken laughed, "Everything's normal!"
"Hey,
now why'd you trick me like that?" Hyde blushed furiously,
sitting back down. He was still worried that there might
be something visibly there since his body didn't get the
chance to calm down from what he and Tetsu were doing just
moments ago.
"Oh,
I'm just teasing you Haido! I know how vulnerable you are
at night!" Ken laughed again, "Sometimes it happens to me
too."
"You
are so hentai Ken-chan!" Hyde said as he stuck his tongue
out.
"Now
now...what was the reason we came here for?" Yukki interrupted,
"I know all of us must be sleepy, so we should start off
our little meeting."
"Yes!
The song!" Tetsu announced, "Ken-chan, did you want to show
us that song you and Haido wrote a month ago?"
"Yeah!
It's here..." Ken said as he was digging in his pockets,
"I know I put it in here somewhere."
"What?
You have the song in your pocket?" Tetsu asked amazed at
his friend's disorganization.
"Yeah.
Me and Haido wrote it during one of our lunch breaks and
I never had the chance to actually re-write it.... AHAA!
Here it is!"
Ken
then handed a slightly crumpled, folded up piece of paper
to Tetsu. The band leader took it and carefully opened it,
examining all the notes and words scribbled onto the paper.
"Forbidden
Lover...?" Tetsu asked curiously, as he was looking over
the paper.
"Hai..."
Hyde smiled, as he looked over Tetsu's shoulder.
"What
do you think of it, Tetchan? It's pretty strange, huh?"
Ken proudly noted.
"Yeah...it
sounds...depressing..."
"Well, Hyde was feeling kinda down in the dumps when he
wrote the lyrics, nee, Haido?"
"Huh?"
Hyde shyly grinned, "I was in a bad mood, I guess..."
"But, I like it... It's a whole lot different than our other
songs...almost matches up to Niji and Kasou, but I think
once we start creating the music, we'll get it to sound
much more darker."
"Will
we be able to record this by the time we record Snowdrop?"
Yukki asked, drumming his fingers on the table.
"We
might as well since our tour is starting up again, and we
gotta release two singles before we leave on our vacation."
"Yeah,
it's better to do everything now so we won't have to worry
about all of it later." Ken sighed.
"So,
when do we start?!" Hyde asked excitedly.
"Doi
Hachiro, you're actually excited about this?" Tetsu joked.
"Of
course I am!! I want to get out there and sing again!! Perform
new songs for our fans!"
"Well,
we'll work on everything this week! Since we have stage
rehearsals next week... how does that sound?"
"That
sounds good to me!" Hyde grinned
"No complaints here..." Ken said, sipping the last of his
tea.
"Count
me in!" Yukki smiled.
"So
it's settled! Tomorrow, Seven-Thirty A.M. and don't be late!"
Tetsu laughed.
"Ohhhh,
man!! Tetsu!! That's too early!!!" the three band members
suddenly complained.
"Oiiii!!
You guys all agreed that it was okay, so I call the shots!"
The band leader folded his arms.
"Well,
you better give us a wake up call, cuz I can't get up that
early on my own, ne!" Ken yawned, digging into his pockets
for a cigarette.
"Hey,
why can't your wife wake you up?"
"My wife? She wakes up later than I do!! Besides, she's
spending a few days at her mother's house, so I'm home free!"
"Ha...no
wonder she called and told me to keep an eye on you!!"
"She
did WHAT?!"
"Well, she just told me to keep an eye on you...whatever
that means!!!" Tetsu nudged Ken's arm, "Still the same,
nee, Ken-chan?!!!"
"No!!
I'm a good guy!!" Ken whined, "Really, I am!!"
"Well then, how do you explain the scene you made with the
waitress at the restaurant the other night?" Yukki laughed,
"I've never seen a married man do that before."
"HEY!!! That was a long time ago!!!" Ken blushed, "I was
drunk!!"
"What
about the time at the mall when you were taking pictures
under the women's dresses on the escalator?" Tetsu recollected.
"Now,
I only did that for YOU Tetchan!! You said they were cute
so I used your camera to give you a better view!!! You didn't
HAVE to go and develop those pictures, ne!"
"What
a naughty leader!!" Hyde shook his head, pretending to be
disappointed.
"That
was Ken-chan, not ME!!"
"You're
pretty naughty yourself Haido! I got a lot of stories to
tell about you, too!!" Ken winked.
"Oh
shutup!!" Hyde blushed, "I have nothing to hide!"
"Hmph..."
"I
think we all have our share of naughty stories." Tetsu smiled,
"But I think we heard enough for today!"
"Woah, look at the time....we better get going!" Yukki said,
picking up his coat, "We gotta get up early tomorrow…"
"Yeah...I'll
pick on you later, Doi Hachan!!" Ken threatened as he stuck
a cigarette in his mouth and grabbed his scarf and coat.
"Man,
you picked on me way too much today!" Hyde pouted.
"I
know! I'm just kidding!!" Ken grabbed Hyde in a fake choke
hold and started digging his knuckles into Hyde's head playfully.
"OWWWW!!
Hahahaha!! Cut it out, Ken-Chan!!" Hyde struggled underneath
his loose grip and broke away from Ken, hitting his arm.
"Well,
Oyasumi everyone! See you tomorrow!" Yukki smiled, obviously
very tired as he trudged out the door with a giggling Ken
following behind.
"You
guys behave now!!" Ken winked, before finally shutting the
door.
Both
Tetsu and Hyde looked at each other and took another big
breath of relief...
"That
was close!!" Hyde scratched his head nervously.
"I
know..." Tetsu said, embarrassed that it was his fault.
"So.... uh...." Hyde didn't know what else to say after
all the excitement that had happened the past few hours...all
he could do is smile.
"So...." Tetsu looked down at his little angelic Hyde and
ran his hand through his soft blonde hair, "Let's go get
some sleep, ne?"
"Hai...."
The blonde vocalist nodded cutely before hugging Tetsu tightly,
"I love you Techan..."
Tetsu's
heart skipped a beat as he held Hyde a little tighter, "I
love you too, Hyde."
****************
Two
nights later...
"Your
voice improved so much from our last practice, ne!" Tetsu
said as he was busy cleaning and restringing his bass. Hyde
was sitting nearby sketching in his sketch book as they
both listened to a pre-recorded tape of 'Snowdrop'.
"I
think you're more than ready for tomorrow's final recording."
Tetsu commented again.
"Arigatou." Hyde smiled as he came over and sat near Tetsu
on the floor.
"This
concert extension is going to be one of our biggest too,
then we're booked on all those music shows! So cool!! I
can't wait!"
Hyde
just nodded as he watched Tetsu's skilled fingers pull the
strings across his bass tightly, fastening them to the tuning
heads. He was so happy to see Tetsu so excited and carefree,
it had been so long since he last saw him this way. Tetsu
felt Hyde's stare and he looked back at him, smiling kindly.
"Haido,
what's the matter?" Tetsu asked, noticing Hyde's dazed look,
"Nani kangaeten no?"
"Mm...nan
demo nai." Hyde shook his head and smiled.
"Are
you sure?" Tetsu brushed Hyde's blonde locks from his face,
revealing his beautiful brown eyes, "Are you tired? Do you
feel sick?"
Hyde
shook his head, "No...it's not that."
"What
is it?" Tetsu put down his bass and sat closer to Hyde,
giving him his full attention, "Tell me..."
"It's...just...
I love you so much and I'm so happy. I don't know what to
do with all this happiness inside me." Hyde gently motioned
his hands to his chest, "I feel so doki-doki!!"
Tetsu
laughed softly and embraced Hyde in his arms, "Me too!!
I feel so happy, but at the same time...scared."
"Doshite?"
Hyde looked up at Tetsu curiously.
"Well..."
Tetsu blushed, "I've been in love with you for so long and
never imagined I'd ever have a chance with you. Now that
it's here, I don't want to ruin anything...I'm so scared
of losing you because you're the only one I love."
"Techan!"
Hyde said as he hugged Tetsu tightly, "Don't worry about
anything. You're the only one I love....You're the first
person I've EVER said the words 'I love you' to..."
"Hontouni?"
Hyde
nodded, "Out of all the relationships I've had, I never
told any of them that I loved them. Love was and is such
a strong and meaningful word to me, I was so afraid to use
it. It was so easy for them to say it to me, and at times
I thought I'd want to say it back to them...but why say
it if I know I won't mean it?"
"I've
never thought about that... but you're right. Love is something
you can't take for granted, and to say it to a person without
meaning it just causes more hurt." Tetsu agreed, "I should
know by some experiences…"
"Yeah.
I was afraid of being hurt and left alone, so I never said
it to anyone. But, when I started to get to know you, I
knew you were the one I truly loved...the one and only person
I can say 'I love you' to. The times I'd watch you go off
and leave me were the times I most wanted to shout it out
to you...but I was just too scared. Now that I know you
love me too, the words come so easily to me...almost natural."
Tetsu
couldn't believe how emotional Hyde's declaration was, and
he felt like crying tears of joy. Never in his life had
anyone said something so meaningful to him...something that
he knew came from the heart.
"Hyde..."
Tetsu said softly, caressing the vocalist's face.
"Aishiteru..."
Hyde
sheepishly grinned before Tetsu placed a kiss onto his lips.
Hyde opened his mouth willingly, letting Tetsu's warm tongue
enter his mouth with ease. The bassist's tongue glided over
Hyde's with the utmost gentleness as he wrapped his arms
around him tighter. Hyde responded by framing Tetsu's face
with both hands and bringing the bassist down with him to
the floor. Both of them seeking the hot warmth in each other's
mouths, running their hands down one another's slim bodies.
Tetsu continued kissing Hyde until he absolutely couldn't
breathe anymore. Hyde felt his urgency and slowly broke
off the kiss, smiling up at Tetsu.
"I
can't have you pass out on me now, ne!" Hyde giggled, noticing
Tetsu's lack of air.
"Ah...gomen..."
Tetsu blushed, struggling to catch his breath, "I always
find myself getting carried away..."
"Might
I remind you...we have to save our energy for the concert!"
Hyde teased.
"I
know... I know!!" Tetsu said, making a disappointed face,
"But, I can't wait that long!"
"Hold that pose!"
"Eh?!"
"That
face!! It was so cute!! I want to draw it out!!"
"What?"
Hyde
grabbed his sketch pad and started to draw madly as if something
suddenly came over him. He looked up at Tetsu a few times
before finally finishing and throwing his sketch pad aside.
"Oi!
Aren't you gonna let me see it?!" Tetsu asked.
"No... It's for ME." Hyde grinned evilly, "I never show
my sketches to anyone!"
"Awww,
comon!!" Tetsu smiled as he crawled over near Hyde to grab
the sketch pad. Hyde got a hold of it first and held it
against himself to keep it from Tetsu's possession.
"Techan, you can't see it!"
"Why?"
"Because...I'm
too embarrassed... It's not good, ne."
"Haido,
your drawings are always great!"
"Well,
there's some sketches in here that are kind of...private.
I don't think they'll be that interesting for you..."
"Of
course they'll be interesting. If you would just show me!
I promise not to laugh."
"Or
get mad??"
"I
don't know why I'd get mad...but I promise not to get mad..."
Tetsu nodded.
"Okay..."
Hyde grinned nervously as he slowly handed the sketch pad
to Tetsu. Tetsu grabbed it quickly and leaned against the
wall, opening it.
"Oooooooh!! Subarashii!!! Haido, this is good!!" Tetsu said,
pointing at the first sketch.
"Yeah,
that's just the scenery from my room's window in Wakayama
city...it was really beautiful."
Tetsu flipped through a few more pages that were just scenarios
of trees and mountains. He finally came across a sketch
of himself with long hair and a depressed expression on
his face. It really reflected him perfectly during that
time.
"This
is me?"
"Uh-huh..." Hyde nodded, "I sketched this picture before
one of our Heavenly concerts. This was when you were sitting
alone backstage. You looked so sad and that expression looked
so different from any others I've seen, so I drew it out...
This was the same day you cut your hair, I think..."
"That
was so stupid of me..." Tetsu shook his head.
"No......
something must have really bothered you that day. People
handle depression differently, and I guess you thought that
was the best thing to do at the time, ne?"
"Well,
yeah... I felt a little better after cutting it off! People
quit calling me your twin sister!" Tetsu laughed, turning
the page to the next drawing.
"Oh, these next few pages are just of Sakura... you can
skip them if you want.." Hyde sweat dropped, as he tried
flipping the pages ahead.
"It's okay... I want to see these..." Tetsu smiled, flipping
back to the first picture of Sakura.
"Uhhhmm.."
Hyde mumbled nervously.
"These
sketches of Sakura are really good. Did you ever show him?"
"No..." Hyde shook his head, "He was never interested in
my art...actually."
Tetsu
noticed how detailed and perfect all Hyde's sketches of
Sakura were. It was amazing. He flipped through a few more
drawings of Sakura until he saw one that really caught his
attention. Hyde immediately put his hand over it to try
to hide it from Tetsu's view, but Tetsu already got a glimpse
of it.
"You drew a nude Sakura?"
"Ano...this was the only one," Hyde blushed.
"Did
he pose for this one?"
"Well,
kinda..." Hyde looked at the ground, embarrassed.
"It's...really detailed, I must say!" Tetsu chuckled softly,
turning the page.
"Hold
on..." Hyde suddenly said, tearing the picture out.
"What
are you doing?"
"I
don't need that in there..." Hyde then started to crumple
the piece of paper in his hands.
"Don't
do that Haido! That's your art!"
"I
don't like him anymore, Tetsu...why should I be reminded
of him?!"
Hyde
then grabbed the sketch book from Tetsu and tore every picture
of Sakura out of it. Tetsu saw Hyde's eyes water up as he
tore away at the pages frantically.
"I
was just so stupid!! Why did I think he loved me?! He never
loved me!!"
"Hyde,
stop...you're messing up your book! Your drawings!" Tetsu
said as he grabbed at all the loose pages before Hyde started
to crumple them all.
"I
hate him Tetsu... I only kept these because I thought I'd
never get over him! All he did was ruin my life and hurt
me!!" Hyde cried as he threw the sketch pad down and buried
his head into his arms.
"Hyde..."
Tetsu said timidly.
"Tetsu..I'm
sorry..." Hyde whimpered.
"No
Hyde...It's okay." Tetsu said as he came over to comfort
Hyde. He was surprised at Hyde's sudden outburst, but could
see all the pain Hyde still held inside.
"I
don't know what came over me. I just got so angry all of
the sudden..." Hyde sighed, now burying his head into Tetsu's
shoulder, "Why'd Sakura have to be such a jerk?"
"I
don't know Haido...I didn't know him that well." Tetsu shrugged.
"He
hated you so much... He would always tell me that you had
something against him."
"He...hated
me?" Tetsu asked, amazed.
"I
don't know why he would say such a thing..."
"It's
true..." Tetsu confessed.
"Huh?"
Hyde looked up at Tetsu, the tears still dripping down his
cheeks, "You hated him too?"
"It was all selfish hatred, Hyde. I admit it was wrong of
me. The only reason I hated him was because he had you...
I felt he took you away from me. But how could he have done
that if you weren't mine to begin with?" Tetsu looked up
at the ceiling, disgusted with himself, "I was the jerk,
too..."
"But,
you loved me Tetsu....and he didn't. I still wonder how
you put up with watching Sakura and I during that time."
Hyde said sadly.
"It
was really hard..." Tetsu laughed softly to ease the tension,
"But, I had to move on and make Laruku one of the best Japanese
bands to ever hit the music scene!"
"I
admired you so much then...even now. You are such a special
person, such a hard-working, caring person that helps everyone.
Something I lack in myself."
"That's
not true Haido. You've helped me and others in many ways...so
many ways, I can't think of a time where you didn't help
me. You've helped the band tremendously as well... if it
weren't for you, we wouldn't be where we are now."
"You
really know how to make a person feel better, ne?" Hyde
giggled, wiping his tears,
"I
feel so childish now!"
"Well,
you do look like a little gaijin kid with that hairdo of
yours!" Tetsu laughed.
"Hey!!"
Hyde ran a hand through his bright hair, "It'll grow out!"
"No,
I think you look very cute. When you first dyed it, I was
like 'What the HELL were you thinking Haido?!', but now
I think I've gotten used to it!"
"This
is not as bad as when I shaved my eyebrows off, is it?"
"No
way!!" Tetsu laughed, "That was the worst!! Ken-Chan got
a lot of good laughs when you shaved those off!!"
"Oh...I
know! I'll never live that one down, will I?"
"I don't think so!"
Tetsu
and Hyde continued to talk until their cat appeared. Snowdrop
walked over to Tetsu and made itself comfortable on his
lap, quietly purring as Tetsu began to pet him. Hyde looked
at the cute scene and reached over to grab what was left
of his sketch book. He picked up his pencil and began drawing
the scene before him.
"Drawing
me again?" Tetsu looked up at Hyde drawing, his eyes meeting
Tetsu's every so often.
"Of
course I am...you are the perfect model, you know. You always
have certain expressions that fit your moods... I really
love it!" Hyde smiled as he peered over his sketchbook to
look at Snowdrop, "He's a pretty good model too!"
Tetsu
grinned as he held Snowdrop in his arms. He noticed Hyde
seemed more calmer and much more relieved. His art had become
another outlet for him, and Tetsu was glad to see Hyde slowly
returning to it.
"Hyde?"
Tetsu asked suddenly.
"Yes,
Techan?" Hyde answered, not lifting his head from his sketch.
"What
if...uh, what if I asked you to draw me....nude?"
"HUH?" Hyde's head shot up as he looked at Tetsu bewildered.
"Since
you say I'm a good model...it wouldn't be so hard to draw
me nude, would it?" Tetsu felt his cheeks burn with nervousness.
He never dreamed of asking Hyde to do this, but he felt
a little naughty and wanted to see Hyde's response.
Hyde
gulped very audibly as he looked at Tetsu in disbelief,
"No...it wouldn't be so hard...I don't think it would...I...I
can do it! Yeah!"
"So...that is a yes?"
Hyde
nodded very vigorously, "Right now?"
"Oh, no! Some other time! We have a lot of things to do,
and I want to save that for when we won't have to worry
about interruptions or plans."
"O..okay..."
Hyde tried to pull himself back together. Having a request
like that from Tetsu made Hyde's heart beat a million times
per second...
Tetsu
observed Hyde hoping he didn't scare him. It didn't seem
so, but Hyde responded with so much shock, Tetsu swore he
thought the petite vocalist was going to faint. Tetsu silently
giggled to himself as he watched Hyde go back to his sketching,
he saw that Hyde's cheeks turned bright red and a little
devilish smile formed at his mouth.
****************
"Wah!
Sugoi!!" The Laruku members all shouted together as the
sound mixers completed the final recording of their single.
Each member congratulated one another with hugs and high-fives,
feeling the excitement of accomplishment.
"Yet
another hit from L'Arc~en~Ciel!!" One of the sound mixers
grinned as he took the recording and handed it to the producers,
"...all we gotta do is choose what the coupling song will
be!"
"Now
I can get some sleep!" Ken announced happily, stretching
his arms up.
"Weren't
you sleeping during recording?" Yukki laughed.
"Aw,
shut-up!!" Ken retorted.
"Would any of you like to see some of the new tour goods
that will be offered at this concert extension?" Hiroshi
Maeda, the art director suddenly asked.
"Sure!! I wanna see!" Hyde was nearly bouncing with excitement
as he followed Hiroshi down the hall and into one of the
design rooms. In there, Hyde saw quite a few people designing
stuff on the computers and there were models of the items
displayed on a huge table. While looking at the table full
of colorful concert goods, something caught Hyde's eye.
He walked over to one of the designers at the computer and
looked over his work.
"What
are you making?" Hyde asked curiously.
"Oh,
these are just designs for your concert bumper stickers!"
The young designer said cheerfully, "I'm working with different
designs and catch phrases for these stickers."
"Those are really cool. I like the design you used." Hyde
said nicely, pointing to one of the designs on the screen.
"Ah, Arigatou!"
"Ano...are
those difficult to make?"
"No,
not really.... you just think of a design, and then send
it off to the sticker company so it'll be made."
"Hmmm....because I have an idea for a sticker....for personal
use, that is."
"Really?
Would you like me to make it for you?"
"Oh, that would be great!! It's nothing fancy... I just
need it by the concert."
"No
problem! Just tell me what you would like on the sticker,
and I could type it in here."
"Sure. I need a sticker that says: 'Private Property of
HYDE'"
"That's
pretty easy." The designer said as he typed it out, "Did
you want a certain design on it, or a certain color?"
"Well,
it would be cool if you made it look like the actual concert
sticker...you know with that cat logo on it? Just make the
wording VERY visible!" Hyde started to grin evilly,
"This
is for a friend."
"No
problem!"
"Thanks!"
Hyde gently patted the young man's shoulder and left the
room to return to the recording studio.
"Oi
Hyde, you already looked at all the concert goods?" Ken
asked, heading towards the room Hyde just exited.
"Yeah,
they're really cool! You should check it out!! They even
designed a new L'Ar~can!"
"HONTOU?!
I have to see that!!!"
"They
also have limited edition lollipops, T-Shirts, rings, water
bottles and stickers!"
"Uwaaa~!!
I better get a hold of some goods for my cousins!!" Ken
said excitedly as he headed towards the room, "Oh yeah,
Tetchan told me to tell you to meet him in the lounge!!"
"Okay!"
Hyde nodded, proceeding down the hall.
"Would
you like a soda, Haido?" Yukki asked, passing him by in
the hall as well.
"Oh
no, it's okay Yukki! Maybe Ken might want one...he's down
there looking at the concert stuff."
"Alright..." Yukki smiled, "Nee, Hyde...you did a very good
job during recording today!"
"Thanks
Yukki, you did too!"
Yukki
nodded gratefully to the comment and headed the opposite
direction, greeting Ken at his destination. Hyde turned
the corner to enter the dim lighted lounge.
"Techan?"
Hyde called out, looking about the empty room. All he saw
were abandoned tables, shut off Television sets and snack
machines.
"Over
here, Hyde!" Tetsu called out from the corner of the room.
"What
are you doing way over there alone in the dark?" Hyde wondered
out loud as he walked over to the table. Tetsu stood up
and flashed a large smile, "To do this!!"
Without hesitation, Tetsu pulled Hyde to him and roughly
brought his lips against Hyde's, but then softened the kiss
within a few seconds. Hyde moaned a bit, turned on by Tetsu's
sudden forwardness. The feeling of kissing the one he loved
gave Tetsu so much pleasure, he couldn't wait any longer.
Hyde responded by stroking Tetsu's neck with his free hand
and draped his other arm around Tetsu's waist.
"Techan..."
Hyde sighed in between his kiss, "we shouldn't be doing
this...here."
Tetsu
didn't respond, but kept kissing Hyde... his teeth gently
nibbling on Hyde's full lips as his hand glided up the shorter
man's back. Tetsu's mind wandered off a bit, the stress
of the recording and the concert faded slowly as he felt
Hyde's slick tongue sneak it's way into his mouth. The vocalist
ran his hand through his lover's orange tinted hair and
gently broke from the kiss, bringing his lips to Tetsu's
exposed neck.
"Haido...ahnn..."
Tetsu bit his lip as Hyde continued to leave faint, teasing
kisses down his soft white neck. Hyde felt a surge of excitement
run through him as he heard Tetsu moaning against his kisses,
making him want to do more. He then felt a strong hand rubbing
his hip and trailing it's way to his bottom, squeezing it
very firmly.
"Uwaa..."
Hyde jerked from Tetsu's firm grasp.
"Do
you like this?" Tetsu whispered into Hyde's ear, smiling
from the response.
"Keep
going..." Hyde grinned evilly, now sliding his hand down
to the most sensitive part of the bassist's body. Reaching
it's destination, he gently rubbed the hard protrusion through
the light fabric of Tetsu's shorts. Tetsu gasped as the
touches from the shorter man were growing more and more
deep,
"Hyde..."
"What
is it, Techan?" Hyde's hot breath was now felt on the side
of his face.
"We
should...." Tetsu was breathing very heavily, obviously
wanting more than what they were doing right now.
"We should what?"
"...save our energy for the concert!" Tetsu grinned as he
looked down at Hyde's surprised expression.
"You
tease!" Hyde laughed as he poked Tetsu's chest with his
finger, breaking away.
"What?
I'm only telling you what you said to me!" The leader brushed
his hand through his hair and winked at his blonde haired
brat.
"Mmmm....you're
such a tease Te-chan!! Just you wait till after this concert,
ne?!" Hyde warned just before he gave Tetsu a light kiss
on the lips.
As
the two band members were about to exit the lounge, they
bumped into their other friends, Ken and Yukki...both sucking
on Laruku lollipops.
"Oooooh!!
I want one!!! Ken-chan, I want one!!" Hyde tugged on Ken's
sleeve annoyingly.
"Okay,
okay! You can have the pink one! It's Tetsu's color!" Ken
said as he fished a lollipop out of his pocket.
"Arigatou!"
Hyde said, happily taking the lollipop out of Ken's grasp.
"Do you want one too, Tetchan?"
"No,
it's okay!"
"Hey, would you all like to have dinner at my place tonight?!"
Yukki announced, "My parents are visiting and my Mom's an
awesome cook. She really wants to cook for you!"
"Sure! Let's go!" Tetsu nodded, "We haven't met YOUR parents
yet, have we Yukki?"
"I don't think so!"
"Hmmm, then we have A LOT of good stories to tell them about
you!" Ken said with an impish grin.
"HA
HA!" Yukki laughed sarcastically, "I'm wondering what stories
you're planning to tell! I don't remember any!"
"Well, let me begin with the first one..." Ken began, draping
his arm around Yukki,
"How
about the time in that Hawaiian bar when you were drunk
out of your mind? We then asked you to stand on the table
and pull your pants down, and YOU DID IT!!!"
"WHAT?! That was a bet!!" Yukki's eyes blanked out as he
looked at Ken nervously,
"Besides, I still had my underwear on!"
The
other band members started to laugh, remembering the situation
very well.
"Ken-chan!
Don't you remember that you did that too? But, you actually
mooned the bartender when he didn't give you that Tequila
you ordered!" Hyde reminded the naughty guitarist.
"Awww...why'd
you have to bring that up?!!" Ken put his hand on his face
in disbelief as all the laughter was placed on him now,
"Okay okay! No funny stories from me tonight!"
"Yeah!!"
Yukki grinned happily as he gave Hyde a high-five, "Let's
go and eat some good food!"
"HAAAAAAAAAI!!" The band members all answered as they left
the studio together.
****************
The
following week Haido was getting ready to move back into
his house. It seemed like the week went by so fast since
the members were so busy with their projects before the
concert. Hyde couldn't wait to finally return to his house,
but he knew Tetsu felt a little disappointed that he had
to leave so soon. Hyde finished folding all his clothing
and walked out into the living room to see what Tetsu was
doing.
"Tetsu?"
Tetsu
was sitting at the table and looked up with his glasses
on, "Oh Haido! Are you finished packing?"
"Umm...Almost..."
"I
wish you didn't have to leave so soon. Are you sure you're
feeling better?"
"I
feel fine Techan... You took such good care of me, even
better than I've could've done for myself."
"Well,
you know if you need anything, you give me a call right
away, okay?"
"You
know I will Techan!" Hyde smiled, "But, I came out here
to ask you something...important."
"What
is it you want to ask me?"
"I
know this might sound a little forward, but...while I was
packing I was thinking a lot about us and the present living
situation we've had…and well…"
"What is it?" Tetsu asked curiously, wondering if Hyde decided
to stay with him in the apartment after all.
"Will
you move in with me?"
"EH?!" were the first words to come out of Tetsu's mouth.
Hyde looked at him closely, trying to see if that was leading
to a yes or a no.
"Tetsu,
I think this would be great for us and our relationship.
I really don't know if I can live on my own. After spending
two weeks here with you, I've gotten so spoiled with you
being with me twenty-four hours a day."
"Haido...I
don't know what to say...I---"
"Just
please think it over... I don't want to rush you into anything
you're not ready for."
"No, it's not that..." Tetsu answered, "I mean, are you
sure about this?"
"Of course I am!" Hyde nodded, sitting next to his leader,
"I have such a huge house and I wouldn't mind my bossy leader
moving in with me!"
"Mou!!"
Tetsu playfully pouted, "I'm not that bossy, ne!"
"I'm
just kidding!" Hyde said as he propped his arms on the table.
"But really Hyde, you want me to move in with you?"
"Why wouldn't I? Tetsu, I love you, and I want to be with
you everyday. I know this sounds selfish but, I don't want
you out of my sight!"
"Hyde,
I really don't know what I did to deserve you in my life..."
Tetsu sighed happily,
"Let's
move in together!"
"REALLY?!!! TECHAN!!! YOU WANT TO?!!!" Hyde nearly jumped
out of his seat.
"Yes
Haido!! Of course!! But, we have to wait till this Tour
is over, because moving takes a lot of energy!" Tetsu giggled
as he scratched the back of his head. He was so ecstatic
to see Hyde so happy, and it was another thing to look forward
to after their projects were all over with.
"Oh Techaaaaaaaaaaaaan~!!!!" Hyde yelled, hugging Tetsu
around the neck tightly,
"You make me so unbelievably happy!!!"
"You
mean so much to me Haido...there's nothing I wouldn't do
for you!!" Tetsu stood up, returning the hug, "I want you
to be with me everyday..."
Hyde
just stayed quiet as he continued to hug Tetsu, he couldn't
remember the last time he felt this happy and excited in
his life. His dearest wish was actually coming true....he
and Tetsu were finally together and taking another crucial
step into this new relationship.
Hyde
looked down to the table Tetsu was working at and noticed
he was working on a new music piece. He even saw a separate
paper that had lyrics scribbled all over it, but it seemed
Tetsu was having trouble with that part.
"Techan,
what were you writing?"
Tetsu
looked up from their hug, "Oh, just a new music piece...for
the future. I had this great idea for a song, so I started
to write it out."
"I
want to see!!!" Hyde said excitedly.
"Well,
it's not even complete but..." Tetsu handed the paper to
Hyde, "I got the idea down. I want to create another song
with an orchestra added into it."
"Mmm..."
Hyde looked over the music and mentally played the music
in his brain, "Like Anata?"
"Yeah!"
"This one looks like it's going to be better, ne! The string
arrangement is awesome Techan!!"
"Thanks..."
Tetsu blushed slightly, "What's strange is that this song
popped into my mind when I was sitting in that waiting room
at the hospital! I was even cursing myself for thinking
of a song when I should've been worried about you!!"
Hyde
laughed at Tetsu's confession, "But, Tetsu, we get our inspiration
in the weirdest places...and...this song looks so beautiful!
Mind if I read the lyrics?"
"Oh...but
they're not that good... I mean, I couldn't express the
mood I'm trying to portray with this song." Tetsu said disappointed
as he handed another paper for Hyde to look over.
"Pieces..."
Hyde mumbled to himself.
"Huh?"
"The
name of the song...is Pieces?"
"Yes..."
Hyde
took a few quiet moments to read over the lyrics Tetsu wrote.
They were absolutely breathtaking. With some assistance
and editing, he knew this song was going to be one of the
most beautiful songs Tetsu has ever written.
"What
do you think of it so far?"
"I'm amazed...really, I am." Hyde looked up at Tetsu in
awe, "If you just add a little more, and have it edited,
it's really going to be beautiful Techan..."
"I
want you to do it."
"Huh?"
Hyde looked up at Tetsu again, "You want ME to re-write
the lyrics?"
"Hai."
Tetsu looked at Hyde seriously, "This song has a special
place in my mind, and I want us to write it together. Your
lyrics are more poetic than what I can ever write and I
know with your help, this song is going to have such a special
meaning to everyone."
"I'm
speechless!" Hyde grinned.
"I
know this might sound even stranger, but I'm writing this
song for you... it's just, I need your help with the lyrics!"
Tetsu giggled.
"That's not strange at all!!!" Hyde hugged Tetsu again,
"Let's put it this way...you're writing the music for me
and I'm writing the lyrics for you."
"Sounds good to me!" Tetsu nodded in approval as he kissed
Hyde lightly on the cheek.
"So,
will this be another new single or will we be making a new
album?"
"Well, I've been talking to our producers and they say that
we should be seriously thinking of releasing a new album
by next summer. I know we can do that, but I wanted it to
be more of a challenge."
"What?"
Hyde asked, confused.
"Well, I think it would be interesting if we did a double
album..."
"DOUBLE ALBUM?!" Hyde's eyes widened, "Is that possible?!"
"Of
course it is!! I mean, we'll surely add all these new singles
we've released onto this album, so we just have to come
up a few new songs. I really want to give Yukki a chance
to write some of his own music this time. He's shown a lot
of interest in it and I think he can come up with some new
and different stuff!"
"It's
gonna be interesting, but I know Laruku can do it!" Hyde
laughed, "I can't wait to see Ken-Chan's face when you tell
him about a double album!"
"I
think he'll like the idea! If Smashing Pumpkins did it with
"Melloncollie and the Infinite Sadness"...why can't WE do
it?!"
"You
got a point!" Hyde agreed, "Nee, Tetsu?"
"Yeah?"
"Mind
if you help me pack the rest of my stuff and maybe, ...stay
at my house for a few days?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"
"This
is becoming so much fun!!" Hyde giggled, racing to the room
like an excited child.
****************
For
the rest of the week the Laruku members completed their
final recording of
"Forbidden
Lover" and began their preparations for their upcoming concert.
Waking up early each day, the members worked hard at practicing
and organizing the new show they will perform in front of
their vast audience. The excitement and anticipation building
into each and every one of them as the days started to count
down...
Finishing
the final touches on the stage, the designers and stage
crew scurried here and there as the Laruku members tuned
their instruments for the final time. In just a matter of
hours, the Yokohama Arena will be filled with thousands
of screaming fans, celebrating the continuation of Laruku's
Light my Fire tour.
"Techan! How does this look?!" Hyde hollered from the platform
above the stage.
Tetsu
looked up from what he was doing and saw Hyde high above
him, carrying what looked like a huge water gun with a green
laser attached to it.
"That
looks cool, Hyde!!! But what is that on your face?!"
"Oh
this?" Hyde asked, pointing to the foil mask which covered
half of his face, "This is a mask for our 'PROMISED LAND'
number!"
Tetsu
couldn't hold in his laughter, "It looks really silly Haido!"
"No! Wait till you see it tonight! It only looks stupid
because we're in daylight!!"
"Yeah,
whatever!" Tetsu smiled, "why don't you come down here and
help me, ne?"
"Okay!
Just wait awhile! Wardrobe wants me to try something on...I'll
be right there afterwards!" Hyde hollered.
"Take
your time!" Tetsu hollered back.
"Yo,
Tetchan!" Ken grinned, walking over to his leader.
"Hey
Ken! What's up?" Tetsu smiled, adjusting his microphone
setup.
"Um,
do you have a few minutes to spare?" Ken asked quietly.
"Sure,
why?"
"Well,
I wanted to talk to you...about Hyde."
"Oh...uh... do you wanna sit down over in those chairs there?"
Tetsu asked, pointing at the first row of chairs in front
of the stage.
"Sure!"
Ken said, hopping off the stage first.
Tetsu
then followed behind and sat on one of the slightly cushioned
seats next to Ken. He was wondering what this little talk
would be about, it had been awhile since he and Ken had
a talk about Hyde...
"I've
noticed Hyde's been in a very good mood these days..." Ken
began, "I think it was great of him to be staying with you,
ne..."
"Yeah.."
Tetsu nodded, "He has really improved a lot."
"Tetchan,
I know that I jump to a lot of conclusions, but for the
past few weeks I've seen things and well… I noticed some
changes."
"Oh…"
Tetsu felt the sweat form at his temples.
"I
wanted to know...and you don't have to really answer if
you don't want to, but are you and Hyde...uh..." Ken
paused as he took a long drag from his cigarette, trying
to prepare himself for whatever answer that will come up.
"I
kinda figured you knew..." Tetsu grinned slightly "You know
me so well, and you're the only person that ever knew my
feelings for Hyde."
Ken
started to cough on the smoke he just inhaled, "H...hontouni?"
"You
won't believe how much this has changed me Ken-chan, I mean,
all that anger and misery just instantly disappeared when
Hyde told me he loved me."
"I wish you could've let me know sooner, Tetchan!" Ken nudged
the bassist beside him playfully, "I'm really happy for
you both. I knew the two of you were meant to be together
and it would only take a matter of time when that would
finally happen. I also knew you'd treat Hyde much better
than Sakura ever did."
"Hyde
did mention something about Sakura before... How exactly
did Sakura treat Hyde?"
"Don't
tell me you didn't know!" Ken looked at Tetsu surprised,
"About the drugs and the mental abuse?"
"What?!"
Tetsu nearly jumped from his seat.
"Tetchan..." Ken lowered his voice, "I don't know if you
can handle all of it if I told you everything."
"Why
not?"
"Hyde confided in me not to say anything... He didn't want
you to know what went on behind closed doors with Sakura
because he knew you would've kicked him out sooner. He only
ended up telling me when he stayed at my place one night
after one of their big fights."
"Sakura...abused Hyde?" Tetsu felt his heart sink as those
words escaped his mouth. How can a person abuse someone
so beautiful and innocent as Hyde?
Ken
then nodded his head very solemnly, "It was a relationship
that shouldn't of happened... all I can say is that Hyde
thought Sakura loved him and I'm sure as hell glad he got
out of that relationship. I mean, Sakura is still my friend,
it's just the way he treated the people closest to him was
downright wrong."
"I
can't believe it...no wonder Hyde broke into a tantrum that
one day over these sketches of Sakura."
"He had sketches?"
Tetsu
nodded and scratched his head, still digesting the fact
that Sakura and Hyde's relationship was not as bright and
happy as he thought it was. Hyde must've had so much pain
inside of him... But, why did Hyde feel so sad when Sakura
left? If Sakura treated him so badly, why did Hyde almost
drive himself to the point of ruining his own life on behalf
of Sakura? This confused Tetsu so much...
"Nee,
but it's all over now. Hyde's so happy to be with you Tetsu...please
keep him happy. That's all I ask. I know how much you love
him and it makes me so glad to know that through all the
pain and suffering you both have gone through, the both
of you finally found happiness with each other."
"Thank
you Ken-chan" Tetsu smiled,"Thanks for being such a good
friend."
"No
problem! I love you guys, man!!" Ken smiled back, patting
his friend's back, "So, what are you two gonna do now?"
"Huh?" Tetsu was caught off guard, "I really don't know.
This relationship is so new to me, I have no idea what to
do..."
Ken
laughed at Tetsu's innocence, "It sure looks like you know
what you're doing! I saw those hickey's on Hyde's neck,
ne!"
"Oh
geez..." Tetsu blushed, covering his face, "I knew that
was the stupidest excuse I ever came up with!"
"Yeah...it
was!" Ken agreed, laughing, "And I figured you two are gonna
move in together..."
"Well, I'm just relieved that you accept the fact that me
and Hyde are together...I wonder how Yukki will take it?"
"Oh,
it's old news to him...since we both figured it out!"
"Hmph...so I guess that just leaves my mother..." Tetsu
flinched as he said it, for he knew his mother would not
take the news that easily.
"Shit,
now that's a hard one to convince!" Ken chuckled, "Your
mother really adored that bitch of an ex you had..."
"Don't remind me!" Tetsu laughed nervously, "I'm not planning
on letting her know anytime soon..."
"Yeah,
it's best keeping it away from her as long as you can!"
Ken agreed.
"Hey
you two!" Hyde suddenly walked out on stage clad in one
of his costumes for the night, "How do I look, ne?"
"Kakkoii!!" Ken shouted, "You look sexy, Doi-hachiro!!"
"I know!" Hyde grinned devilishly, "and you Te-chan, what
do you think?"
"You look great, Haido! All the girls will surely scream
for you tonight!"
"That's all?! Man, Ken gave me a BETTER compliment then
you did!!"
"What?
Okay, okay! You look HOT Hyde!! So sexy, you're making ME
sweat bullets!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!!" Ken laughed out loud, "That was SO
cheesy Tet-chan! Sweating bullets? Geez! Work on those pick
up lines, man!"
Suddenly
a loud crash was heard behind the massive drumset on the
stage, causing the three members to jump up.
"Uh,
I'm sorry!!" Yukihiro peered over his drumset, "I didn't
hear anything! I swear!! I was just tuning these drums and--"
"It's OK Yukki!!" Hyde giggled.
"You do look pretty cool in that get up of yours, Hyde..."
"Wah! Thanks!!"
"Well,
I'll see you guys later!!" Yukihiro smiled happily at his
band mates and bowed quickly before exiting the stage.
"Yeah,
I better get ready too. I didn't even eat yet and I gotta
see what wardrobe has me wearing tonight!" Ken also said,
before exiting the arena.
"So,
I guess I'll see you later too, huh?" Tetsu looked down
at Hyde.
"I'm
still planning on getting you back for what you did in the
lounge! Don't think I forgot!!" The blonde haired vocalist
said as he stuck his tongue out.
"You
are so cute, you know? I'd like to see you try!!" The courageous
leader challenged.
"Ha...you
have one coming Techan!" Hyde laughed, as he blew a kiss
to his lover and skipped away to his dressing room.
*****************
"You're
on in fifteen!!" The production manager hollered through
the halls, making sure everyone knew the concert was going
to be starting very soon. Ken and Yukki hung out in the
lounge area soaking in all the energy from the loud crowds
of screaming fans waiting for them on the other side. They
could barely hear their names being called amongst the loud
chants of their famous vocalist's name.
"Where's
Hyde and Tetsu?" Yukki asked, fiddling with the plastic
bracelets on his wrist.
"Um,
last time I checked Haido was getting his hair done, and
Tetsu was tying up those huge platforms to his feet."
"Ah..."
Yukki nodded.
"Hyde-san?"
A muffled knock rapped on Hyde's dressing room door.
"Come
in!" Hyde called out, putting the finishing touches to his
eye make up.
The
designer kid from the other week entered and bowed, "I finally
got your sticker printed! I'm so sorry it took me this long."
"Wow!!"
Hyde said excitedly as the kid handed him the sticker, "Thank
you so much!! It looks great!!"
"Here's a few more...just to keep for future use."
"Suge~!!
I owe you one!!" Hyde nearly jumped up and down in excitement,
"I actually need these tonight."
"May I ask a favor from you though?" The kid asked timidly.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Can...um,
can you sign this CD cover? It's my sister's and she's a
huge fan of yours..."
"Oh!
No problem!" Hyde grinned as he grabbed his gold pen and
signed his name on their HEART CD booklet.
"Hontouni,
hontouni Arigatou Gozaimashita!!" the kid said gratefully
before exiting the dressing room.
A
few seconds later another knock was hear on Hyde's door.
"Who
is it?"
"Haido?
It's Tetsu!"
"Oh,
hold on a sec!" Hyde said as he quickly grabbed and peeled
a sticker, "Come in!!"
Tetsu
then entered the dressing room, dressed very simple in a
pair of leopard print shorts and a matching jacket. Hyde
himself wore a black tapered suit with a shirt and tie...making
him all the more cute.
"Woah,
Haido! You look positively evil with those red contacts
on! I like 'em!!"
"Arigato! I already scared some of the staff people when
I first put them on!"
"Nee,
Are you almost ready? We're on in 10 minutes!"
"Yeah,
I think so!" Hyde took a deep breath, "Would you mind closing
the door behind you?"
"Oh..."
Tetsu said, closing the door, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Hyde grinned innocently, hiding the sticker behind his back,
"I just wanted to give you a good luck kiss!"
"Good
luck kiss?" Tetsu smiled cutely.
Hyde
nodded before slowly approaching Tetsu, nearly standing
on his toes to reach up and kiss his cute bassist. Tetsu's
lips met his half way as he put one hand on his lover's
pale face. Hyde made the kiss a little deeper, as he brought
his hand with the sticker behind Tetsu. The red haired leader
continued to kiss Hyde and before he knew it, he felt Hyde's
hand gently smack his bottom.
"Mmph!"
Tetsu's throat tightened in between the kiss, obviously
turned on by this action. Hyde giggled inside, knowing that
he accomplished something in the process. He stuck his sticker
on his leader's ass! A sticker stating in huge letters:
"PRIVATE PROPERTY OF HYDE".
'Wait
till the fans and camera men see this!!" Hyde laughed to
himself. Tetsu finally broke off the kiss and breathed in
a sigh of relief.
"That
is more than enough luck for me, ne!" He smiled happily,
noticing Hyde's satisfied look, "Let's go and meet up with
the rest of the gang!"
Tetsu
then turned around and opened the door, causing Hyde to
break into uncontrollable laughter as he saw the sticker
on Tetsu's butt.
"What is it?" Tetsu asked curiously, turning back at Hyde.
"Nothing!!
I just had to laugh." Hyde reassured him.
As
they were walking down the noisy hall full of staff members
and producers, Hyde already saw a few amused glances directed
at Tetsu's bottom. But before they could say anything, Hyde
would automatically signal to them to stay quiet. Ken and
Yukki saw their other two band mates approaching and stood
up.
"Do
you hear that?!" Ken hollered, pointing to the crowd on
the other side of the wall.
"YEAH!!"
Hyde and Tetsu yelled back in excitement.
"You're
on in five!!!" The production manager announced loudly,
causing the bustling backstage to increase. The audience
was getting louder and louder as the MC was hyping them
up.
"Crowd
together everyone!!" Tetsu said loudly.
All
four Laruku members crowded together along with their support
musicians and placed one hand on top of each other.
"This
is our comeback concert, and we'll do our best! No matter
what the outcome, we all work together as a team. We have
a bunch of loyal fans out there ready to see a great show,
and that's what we'll give them!! Are you all with me?!
Are you ready to blow some minds away?!!"
"HAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The whole group, including all the backstage staff hollered
together.
With
that, the members all broke off and took their places on
the darkened stage. Yukkie and the keyboardist were the
first ones to leave and head for their equiptment in the
back, Tetsu and Ken waited a few seconds before they were
signaled to come out as well. As Tetsu proceeded in front
of the guitarist, Ken couldn't help but notice the bright
sticker on Tetsu's bottom. He looked at it closely and read
what it said. Did Tet-chan know that was on his butt? Ken
wondered...he looked at Hyde, but Hyde was busy talking
to one of the production managers.
"Yo
Tet-chan!!" Ken yelled through the rising noise in the arena.
"Huh?" Tetsu looked behind briefly, to see who was calling
him. Putting his bass on, he saw Ken trying to say something,
but he couldn't hear a thing through all the screaming in
the arena.
"On
your ass!!!" Ken said the final time. It sure didn't look
like Tetsu knew what he was talking about... either that
or Tetsu KNEW he had a sticker that said "PRIVATE PROPERTY
OF HYDE" visibly on his body.
Hyde
then walked slowly onstage as the stage lights were beaming
wildly over the audience. The MC was now announcing the
group they have all been waiting for. With one big breath,
Hyde looked over and saw his que....
"MINNA,
KOMBANWAAAAAA~!!!!! LARUKU AN SHIERU DESUUUUUUU~!!!!!!"
The
crowd screamed wildly after hearing Hyde's voice as the
familiar music of one of their popular songs filled the
atmosphere. The lights now lit up the stage brightly, making
the stars of the show more visible to the people watching
them.
Hyde
started to sing and that started a sea of hands moving in
one direction to the beat of the song. Ken had his usual
cigarette in his mouth, his head moving to the music and
Tetsu finally began to jump and turn in circles. Hyde looked
over and saw the sticker still in place and wondered if
anyone could visibly see it.
"Ano...what
is that on Tetsu's pants?" one of the wardrobe ladies pointed
out while watching the little television backstage.
The
cameras recording the concert spotted it too and did a close
up on it, making the audience scream even more wildly. Hyde
continued to sing, trying to suppress his laughter as he
saw the surprised looks of the fans faces as they looked
up at the big monitor above the stage. Luckily Tetsu didn't
notice what all the commotion was about since he was too
much into the song already.
'Wow,
the this crowd is really lively tonight!!' Tetsu thought
happily, skipping closer to the audience. Spinning around
once more, he heard the loud screams and cheers all the
more so when he turned around. 'Do I actually have my own
cheering section in Yokohama?!!!! Hyde must be jealous!!
Heehee!!!!!'
Little
did he know what the audience was REALLY screaming about!

Part 6 ---------------
