Gravitation Fan Fiction ❯ Blood Stained Music Sheets ❯ Sheet 7; Meeting of the Countermelody ( Chapter 7 )

Disclaimer: So, I decided to change my story from the original point of view to more of a second, omnipresent one, but still feeling Al's emotions. I think it might make things a little easier on me, and on the readers. I hope you don't mind! But that's all the changes that's going on. Other than that, this is my normal disclaimer, as in I don't own anything by Maki Murakami, and if I did I wouldn't share Yuki^^ or Shu-chan. So lets all give thanks for Murakami-san for her generosity! But I do own Echo, Air, Al, Takashi, but I do not own Mia. Now everyone keep reviewing! And enjoy my newest chapter of, `Blood Stained Music Sheets'.

 

Blood Stained Music Sheets

Sheet 7; Meeting of the Countermelody

By: Summoner Hirelena Sakamotou

 

The air was thick with tension as the three left the building shutting the door behind them. Shuichi already had his cell phone out and was pressing the buttons looking for the numbers he must now call.

“Yuki, do you know what bar it was?” He asked as the girl followed right behind him like a nervous child to their older sibling.

The blonde nodded his hand pointing towards its direction, “Yea, it's called, Devil's Food. It's a sweet's café that is also a bar” He explained as Shuichi called Hiro, Ryu, and lastly Fujisaki one by one. The plan was quickly formed that they would meet outside of the bar, and than head in, blocking off his exits.

 

“Yea, that's right Fujisaki” The three piled into one of Yuki's luxury foreign cars as Shuichi explained the rest of the plan.

“We're going to corner him and force him to give us back Tatsuha.” His pink hair bounced from the front seat, his voice not his normal childish one, but of a serious teen discussing life or death. As the street lights began to flicker on outside, Yuki revved up the car and than pulled out of his spot speeding down the road.

“But Shuichi, what if he refuses?” The girl piped up from the back seat, her green eyes going wide with thought. Shuichi turned in his seat to look at her, shaking his head a reassuring smile on his lips.

“Fujisaki just said that too, but I'm sure Takashi would not want to cause himself any unwanted attention. That would make it more complicated to do what he wanted to do, but yea, I'll see you there” And with that he hung up the phone groaning as he relaxed in the seat. Allegra's eyes held the same distressed look as Shuichi's purple ones, the almost sixth sense of emotion emitting between the two. Everyone was on their way to the bar called, The Devil's Food, including Mia, who eagerly wanted to join in this attack against Takashi.

Yuki huffed from the drivers' seat “You're so foolish…” The car came to a jerky stop, the breaks squealing loudly. The two passengers tilted their head to stare at the blonde as silence filled the vehicle. After a couple of moments Shuichi impatiently groaned loudly.

“I know I'm foolish! Yes I'm stupid! Now will you tell me why I am this time?!” The writer pressed his foot on the gas taking off again before he answered.

“Takashi won't care if you're threatening him in public. In fact he probably will enjoy pressing his powers in front of the mortals-“

“But than they'll see that he's not normal” His lover cut in, disbelief in his voice. The girl nodded in the back seat, eager to see what the famous Eiri Yuki had to say to that. Without even skipping a beat he ran his fingers through his tresses, his voice a deep growl.

“If you do anything that is non-human stupid than, your, cover is blown. Bad Luck will be on every rumor ridden tabloid. Even Nittle Grasper”

Shuichi's eyes widen with realization as he stared in a detached way at Yuki, “No…”

Al shook her head the raven hair flying around her small face as the collar bell jingled.

“Well than I'll cause a distraction so that they cannot see you or Sakuma-san” The lights in the side of the road flooded in the car windows, rhythmically lighting up the determined face of the girl in the backseat.

“You don't have to Kitten…in fact, if you can, don't get too close”

Allegra's green eyes shone in the night light as she gasped, “What? But Shuichi…”

“Please…don't…” He whispered seriously his purple eyes closing. The singer bit his small lips as his hands clutched on his lap his head bowing.

“You wouldn't be of any use anyway” Yuki snapped gripping the wheel a bit tighter. Al looked at both of them slowly her mouth still open with doubt, and her eyes reflecting hurt emotions.

“Yuki! You-“

“No…it's okay Shuichi…I understand, I don't got powers like you, Yuki, Hiro or Mia…I would just get in the way” Her head bowed slightly her eyes being hidden behind the dark bangs.

`But its okay…I will still be there, still watching over you as best as possible' She felt Shuichi's worry, and Yuki's annoyance through their blood bond. As she thought of that the car came to a stop as Yuki parked it in the closest parking lot to the Bar, which wasn't actually at the Bar.

 

The three slipped out of the car, (Shuichi, and Yuki of course both dawning sunglasses, and Shuichi wearing a cap) Allegra taking her usual place behind them as they were approached by a small group of people.

“SHUICHI!” A loud cry was heard as Shuichi was suddenly pounced by the man that appeared at Tokyo U for Allegra, Ryuichi Sakuma. The two males clung to one another in a brotherly embrace as Hiro, Mia, and Fujisaki appeared from the darkness. Ryu, was dressed in a loose white tank top, and a pair of tight dark jeans, clutched onto Shuichi, who wore a white shirt with the long blue sleeves, and khaki shorts. Hiro wore a laid back jeans jacket with a white undershirt and his faded comfortable jeans, and right next to him was Mia, wearing the school uniform just like Al. Lastly, was the gifted pianist who came out in his normal pink dress shirt and green vest, with dark pants.

“Sakuma-san!” Squealed his `twin', as they hugged one another.

“Oh grow up you two” Mia sighed, but a smile still on her lips none the less. The large blue eyes of Ryu turned to the tall blonde, his eyes suddenly flashing with seriousness.

“What's she doing here?” His body was stiff as he growled from beside Shuichi. It was frightening to see how quickly the singer went from playful, to almost shaking with powerful emotions. The pink haired boy put a hand on his arm cooing softly.

“Its okay Ryu, she's going to help us get Tatsuha back. See even Kumagoro says its okay” Picking up the pink bunny, Shuichi got it to nod, a comforting smile on his lips.

The red head blinked his eyes falling onto Yuki “Nice for you to join us Yuki-san” He said crisply, the sound of respect and tolerance in his voice. Of course, he got no real response out of the writer, but you could tell that he was listening.

“But, she was probably the one who took Tatsuha away!”

“Look, I know you don't like me Sakuma, but I am set on destroying everything Tatsuha plans on doing because that'll keep Hiro safe” With the blonde's words the eyes went back to normal, his body slipping back into its relaxation state. Taking the pink plush from Shuichi he snuggled it slightly, rubbing the cloth against him.

“Oh, I see Kumagoro…Mia came over because of special nips! She's our friend!” The smaller girl stepped up to them both hesitantly as her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

“Um…Sakuma-san…I-I want to thank you for helping me back to Shuichi” His large blue eyes blinked at her like a very young child confused at something new. Ryu than cried out ecstatically grabbing onto her bare legs happily “Your welcome! Shuichi couldn't sparkle if you weren't around!” Allegra's green eyes widened with surprise, at the words as she appeared emotionally taken back. Shuichi cheeks reddened as he turned away getting up from the pavement, Ryuichi still chanting his `sparkle' mantra. Brushing himself off, he ignored the comment, as he turned to the rest of the group.

“Come on you guys, let's go get Tatsuha before something bad happens” They nodded quickly making their way down the street quickly to the Bar. The building looked like an old fashioned French pastry shop, small comfortable, with delicate looking cakes and sweets in the windows on white lace.

“Hey, Shuichi do you think we can get some cakes when we get Tatsuha back?” The lead of Nittle Grasper whined lightly tugging at the sleeve of Shuichi as they stood in front of the door about to open it.

“Yea…can we?” Al echoed drooling at the window displays next to the singer.

 

Fujisaki quickly came over tugging both their sleeves as Shuichi opened the door slowly to the Bar. The group slipped quietly inside the café, the air still like the one outside, comfortable, and delicate, full of French bistro furniture, the smell of wine and rich sweets. The Devils Food wasn't that crowded, two or three people at a table, and another person sitting at the bar.

“There they are” The red head hissed in the ear of his best friend his eyes leading to the end of the long far wall bar. There sure enough was the dark shoulder length haired male that was sipping a rosy liquid, sitting next with a saggy dark haired man. A leash hung from his collared neck, and ended up in the hand of the taller male with longer hair. If you didn't know it you would think they were a kinky yaoi couple, or a pair on a way to a strange convention. Shuichi lead the small group, stalking behind the two who Hiro pointed out was Tatsuha and Takashi. The singer was about to open his mouth to say something, but with the clink of a glass being put down he was cut off.

“So, you found me, hello Mia…” The blonde stiffened as he called her name, subconsciously taking a step closer to Hiro. The blood in her veins were fighting hard against the faint but constant hold that the demon still had on her, and the one that was now beginning to dominate her body. There was a sense of calm deep in the heart of the pink haired singer knowing full well that his blood, and Yuki's where running through their prays body as Allegra shifted behind Shuichi her green eyes wide in fright trying to get comfort from the presence of her idol. Theirs was more of a stable bond, and not opposite sides of the spectrum. Than Ryu clutched onto his pink plush animal as he growled at the male.

“You big meanie! Let go of Tatsuha!” Takashi's head tilted slightly his dark golden eyes shining in the dim light. His pale face held an ear to ear grin, the look of perfect bliss as he stared at the pop star.

“Don't make me laugh. You guys are actually trying to bully me here? Mr. and Mrs. Public Image?” Sneered the man as he turned back to his drink, all the while the man beside him not moving. Shuichi and Ryu's lips pressed together as Takashi insulted the both of them.

“Tatsuha! Come on, fight back!” The green haired boy called taking a step forward. A low feral growl came from the throat of Takashi as his arm twitched pulling at the leash around his wrist. In that moment, a soft clink was heard like metal hitting against each other, and a sharp whimper.

Shuichi gasped, his body flinching as he heard this noise, “Tatsu-“Allegra grabbed his shirt, holding him back crying out for him not to move.

“Listen to your Pet Shindou, I got your buddy here on one of those training dog collars, don't make it easier for me to taint your lovely little image” Their eyes shifted to the people around them who even though their eyes were not focused on the little group, you could tell that their attention was on them.

“Tell me writer, do you really want your brother back? From what I understand, you two aren't the best of friends, why should you care?” The blonde put his hands in his trench coat his golden eyes closing as he chuckled.

“I don't. Its just more of a bother if I let you use him for evil. I mean-“ Hiro's red eyes shifted to look around him almost as if he was sizing up prey without him moving his head, a small smirk playing on his lips.

A grin came to Yuki's lips as he ran his fingers through his hair lazily. “We both are priests” In a blink of an eye the lights suddenly went out, the soft humming of electricity hanging in the air as Al and customers all cried out in confusion and fright. Than suddenly the silky voice of Yuki carried over the hum and chaos of the confusion, his mouth forming a complex flow of foreign words.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Takashi's voice roared over everything, his tone dripping with annoyance and anger. The two girls felt a little light headed as he ended the words, the sound of the confusion dying down, till it was silenced. From the silence came the sound of the electrical pulsating the lights flicking on and off, than with a dying whine it turned off to reveal that Tatsuha was gone, the metal choke collar was now chocking a large Tatsuha shaped stuffed animal! Takashi cried out jumping out of his seat, the glass stem he had shattering on the ground. But no one outside of the two warring sides knew everyone else's eyes were staring out into nothingness, entranced.

Both Shuichi and the demon's mouth hung as they called for the same thing, “Where's Tatsuha?!” His lips turned into an animalistic snarl as his hands lifted from his side dropping the leash, the air roaring around them. Their clothes began to flap as the icy wind began to pick up blowing through the building brought by the powers of the male vampire. Shuichi took a step back his body moving in front of Allegra instinctively, likewise, Hiro for Mia, as Ryu threw his Kumagoro in between Takashi and the group.

“Kuma-kun come to life!” The frosty sensation was suddenly neutralized as a warm smoke erupted from where the pink plush laid.

 

“DAMN YOU! GIVE HIM BACK!” The storm turned into a gale force wind as it danced around the lanky body of the demon and his hands. With a huge heave he threw his arms forward the wind, stopping in the middle of the warm smoke. The group cringed behind the smoke, Allegra clutching onto Shuichi in fright as the fog went away revealing a larger than human sized Kumagoro which held its arm out in defense. The air stream slid over the invisible field over the group as Ryu mirrored his animated plush. Takashi closed his outstretched hands as the tight clothes snapped against him, a heavy puff of air pounding the protective field. Shuichi and the gang's chests began to heave, softly gasping for air as they hid behind the plush.

“Shit, he's trying to suck the oxygen out from around us” The green haired boy exclaimed as he bit his lower lip in distress. Allegra slowly leaned forward her head dizzying with lack of air resting it against the white shirt of Shuichi. The pink haired singer's eyes were flickering back and forth from purple to red feeling the distress on her body that this attack was having on her. But that wasn't enough for Takashi, golden eyes were tinting red with rage as he continuing throwing his fists of heavy air sucking wind.

“Kumagoro! Counterattack!” Ryu's arm swung to the side as the bear mentally squealed his arm mirroring the same movements throwing the ball of air right back at its owner. Takashi smirked as the ball turned into a small breeze before it reached him, his dark bangs gently flowing in the wind.

“Is that it?” The eyes of Nittle Grasper's leader singer narrowed into a nasty dangerous look as his lips parted. Mia understood what was happening as soon as the pink lips opened, her hands flying to her ears, than the rest of the boys followed. Finally, before Ryu began to sing `Sleepless Beauty', Allegra turned seeing everyone put their hands to ears, so she echoed the same movements, uncertainty radiating from her body. Right after she did, the leader's lips spilled out the lyrics to one of his most popular songs, the force of the godlike voice multiplying over and over again focusing on the body of the demon. The pressure on the ears of Takashi started to overwhelm him as he took a step back his hands on his ears.

“STOP IT!” He roared the wind he possessed blew around him uncontrollably, showing off his anger. His golden eyes glinted red as he stopped the wind, the fangs slowly sticking out from his mouth. Takashi than in a fury took the powder sugar shaker and threw it in the air on the ground, throwing a gust of wind at it. Everyone began to cough as the powder began to fly into the air causing an opaque cloud of dust to appear before the gang. They were struck blind for a moment, their line of sight to the demon was gone, and than slowly the powder slowly settling back on the floor. And as quick as the fog was made, it disappeared, along with the enemy.

 

“Damn” The pianist cursed as they looked around seeing that Takashi was gone, and left no evidence besides the plush of Tatsuha. Kumagoro suddenly shrunk back to his normal size, coming to Ryu as his arms outstretched to grab him. Quietly praising the little bunny plush he hugged it to his body a smile on his lips.

Shuichi growled kicking the ground slightly, “He got away and there goes Tatsuha!” The ears of the group pricked up, as a heavy shifting sound came from behind the bar.

“How can someone be still moving around?” The red head hissed turning to the bar area his finger crackling with electricity as he lifted it. Slowly you could see blonde hair stick up from the other side of the long table. There was a soft groaning sound from behind the white counter, as Mia placed a hand on Hiro's arm, silently telling him to wait. Suddenly out popped K, his body was bent over as he tried his hardest to pull something up.

“Mr. K!” The group ran to the counter, as the blonde manager finally lifted up the stunned body of Tatsuha.

Their mouths dropped, as they realized, that when Takashi ran off, he left his most precious ingredient. “Tatsuha!” There was an overwhelming sense of happiness as they ran to his side helping the now stirring boy up.

“Ryu…Ryuichi…My honey” He murmured his dark eyes slowly batted open desperately trying to search out his idol. The singer came to his side slipping his arm under the armpit helping him up slowly.

“I'm here” Al looked around as this was happening, staring at the rest of the customers as they sat there dazed and undisturbed by the past scenes. Slowly moving to them she waved her hands in front of their eyes, “Why don't they respond?”

“Mr. Yuki put a spell on them didn't you? One that traps them in their current thoughts, or did you do the one which traps them in a dream world which they will never remember?” The blond American answered dusting himself off, slipping a beautiful shimmering new silver gun in his holster. Tatsuha was standing up against Ryuichi a wide smile on his lips, his head burying against his chest. There was a slight blush on Ryu's cheeks as they cling onto one another desperately, Yuki still not answering the question.

“Forget the alternative reality, and lets get Tatsuha out of here” Quickly, they shuffled Tatsuha outside and into K and Ryu's car. As K shut the back door where the two sat, Allegra rubbed her arms together shivering in the night air.

Timidly she turned to Yuki her green eyes bowed in submissiveness, “What about the rest of the people in there? A-Are you going to let them out of their dream?” Shuichi came over and rubbed her raven hair gently a smile on his lips.

“No worry Kitten, he always does right Yuki?” As soon as the singer said this, Yuki was already halfway inside the door.

“Kitten? I thought her name was Pet?” The blonde female teased her eyes bating innocently as the girl

Hiro sighed heavily crossing his arms over his chest, “Mia lay off, neither one of them is her name. He just calls her that because of the bell-“

“I know, it's a stupid little thing…what are you a slave?” Her hand was reaching out as she sneered her fingers slipping under the bell part of the cat collar. Al's cheeks flushed hotly as she was forced to look up or choke. Her emerald eyes where still bowed away as Shuichi grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back away from the taller blonde. She clutched onto Shuichi like a child to a mother, her body stiff and frightened.

“Back off Mia” He shot as Yuki came walking back easily, the sounds of the idle chatter and such coming from the inside of `Devils Food'. Hiro slipped his hands into his vampire lover's clutching onto it gently, but with enough of a silent dominant order not to continue this confrontation. Mia scoffed quietly, a look of annoyance on her face as the green haired boy opened K's car door.

“Let's get out of here before Takashi decides to come back with minions” He suggested trying to cut the thick air of conflict.

K nodded, “I don't have the normal snipers sitting around here, so it's safer if we all went home” With a quick hand grab and manly hug, Hiro and Shuichi said their good byes. The red head and the blonde got on the motorcycle and waved before they shot down the roads. The 3 out of 4 in K's car waved goodbye too, Tatsuha still a little too dazed to realize what was going on, and than K revved up the car and drove off. So, finally the last three were left behind, Yuki not bothering to say anything about what he did as he headed to the car that was parked in the building a couple of blocks down.

“I'm so glad that we got Tatsuha away from that guy, did you see how horrible he looked?” Bad Luck's leader mused crossing his arms over his small chest in thought. Yuki never replied as he stuck another cigarette in his lips lighting it up.

“I just hope that Takashi didn't do anything to him…” His eyes where shining with distress, as they walked in silence for a minute or two. After a long drag, the writer let the smoke slowly float out of his mouth.

“Don't worry about him, he went through a lot of monk training, a little energy sucking wouldn't hurt him” And with that tone, that was going to be that to Yuki.

 

~~~

 

Al was licking her lips by the time that they went back `home'. They were dry again, thirsting for that thing that made them all vampires. She was on a verge of a headache from it, the lack of her real nutrients.

`Home…' She scoffed to herself as they walked up the stairs slowly.

`Every time I feel like I found a home it gets taken away from me' But with that thought her heart began to ache, imagining the life she would be thrown back into. Allegra felt it to be soon, she wasn't useful to them at all, and now that they got back Yuki-san's brother, Tatsuha she probably would have to leave. Though, now that she has spent some time with Shuichi, and the rest of the Bad Luck members, she couldn't imagine life without them. Even Yuki was beginning to grow on her, even though he was basically still silently wishing for her death, or sudden disappearance. Yuki's clanging keys woke her up from her depressed thoughts as he opened the door slowly.

“Ah, home at last!” The singer sighed kicking off his shoes than racing up the stairs. Yuki and Al soon followed slowly making their way up the steps and into the home.

The writer just continued to the door of his study grunting,” I got to finish my novel” Shuichi's happy exterior died in that instant as the door shut behind the blonde. He sighed his hands falling to his side, his eyes still staring at the door in slight shock. The girl came up to his side, placing a hand on his arm in a comforting manner. But the blonde never went that from the other side of the door, he stood there waiting for the boy to come pounding on the door crying out his normal, `Yuki! Talk to me', or `Yukiiii…I thought we could…'

 

But strangely that didn't happen.

 

His ears where sharper now due to the new blood running through his veins, and right now he was hearing the ruffling of both Allegra and Shuichi's feet.

“Don't worry about it Shuichi. You know he has to work come on, let's go do something else” Al suggested softly staring up at Shuichi with her large green eyes. He nodded slowly after a minute moving away from the door with the girl in his shadow. It didn't take a blood bonding to send what Yuki was feeling on the other side of the door. His body was stiff, and his eyes narrow, as he stalked to his seat in his room.

“I gotta work on my lyrics anyway for E3” The singer grabbed his notepad from the coffee table that sat next to the couch grabbing the pen that laid next to it, putting it behind his ear. Soon the room was filled with instrumental music as they relaxed on the couch, the large emotional pools on his face staring intently on the pad.

“This is the newest song that we have, its called `Anti-nostalgic', it's the one that you heard us playing when Ryu brought you back in”

“I thought it was done since you were singing it” The silky pink strands danced on his head as Shuichi shook his head thoughtfully.

“No, I was working out the kinks in the songs, some of it just…isn't right” His voice trailed off, as the pen started to fly across the notepad. Allegra watched for a couple of minutes, stuck in a state of awe as she, desperately trying her best to ignore that sensation of dryness in her mouth. She didn't want to ruin this moment of normalcy between them. He seemed completely drowned in the words within his mind, soft quiet guitar music that filled the room, it was almost romantic. Allegra ached for him to make a move, she would have gladly given in to what he wanted to do…but she knew it would never happen, and that she was just one of his many fans. He even said that he wouldn't want to give her blood, if he could help it.

And so, she wouldn't ask for it. Getting up slowly she carefully made her way to the bathroom without a word to disturb the singer. Splashing cold water on her face, she sighed trying to get rid of the feeling, than she cupped her hands filling it with cool water. Drinking it, and some more all it did was ease the pounding in the mouth, into just a aching for the red liquid. Turning off the water, she knew it wouldn't do her any good to run it more and, Allegra left the bathroom after toweling off, grabbing her poetry/song book out of one of the storage tubs in the closet she clutched onto it wanting to put down some of her feelings in her normal lyrical form. But as she turned to go back into the room she heard the music start over, repeating itself.

Slowly Al poked her head through the doorway watching as Shuichi got up his voice softly joined along with the music. His back was to her as his hands lifted up to the skies, his body slowly swaying to the music.

 

Transparency dyes the night sky, and

I walk alone on the road that always leads home.

Singing to myself, I want to send these kinds of feelings

to you in your sleep, oh, um...

 

Her cheeks flushed hotly as Allegra stood there watching her muse sing from what seems to be straight from his heart. His emotions…riding along with the song-

 

I'm tangled up in something; I'm getting a little sick of myself --

tangled up in the feelings to convey to those days that have been left behind...

The heart I've forgotten somewhere is starting to hurt a little.

I keep searching for you in a night lit by the stars that are bound to that time.

 

There was not one part of her frail body that wasn't covered in goose bumps as she listened to the words. The sound was of an aching soul, of a hurt and lost creature in the night…The world around her just melted away as she stared at her idol, lost upon the words. There was naught a reason for a stage, lights, or anything…He was already there, shining in glory. And although, in a part of her mind, she knew it wasn't about her, she felt stunned, and her mind began to form the idea that the song was for her. Every atom in her body desperately wished and imagined that the emotion, the feeling that he was portraying was just for her ears and hers alone. Suddenly Allegra found that she opened the notebook in her hands, her pen already sliding across the paper, forming the words to the emotion that was racing through her body.

 

You Know I don't know what it is
But everything about you is so irresistible

Don't you try and tell me that he's not my type
To hide what I feel inside
When he makes me weak with desire
I Know that I'm supposed to make him wait
Let him think I like the chase but I can't
Stop fanning the fire, I know I meant to say no

 

And all the while, while the newly formed vampire girl wrote, Shuichi was singing his song, the music hanging in the air wrapping a protective blanket around her.

I place my feelings on the receding clouds

on the road home, where I pause to stand.

 

You are already a part of my continuing dreams;

I know that (those feelings) can't possibly reach you from here.

 

The tears keep falling; jut by being able to be close to you…

 

But he's irresistible
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe, more than just
Physical deeper than spiritual
His ways are powerful
And irresistible to me (yeah yeah, I can hardly breathe)-

 

“Allegra…I know you're there” The train of thought was suddenly severed from her mind as the soft voice of Shuichi cut through it. She gasped quietly her head lifting as she stared at the singer who stood there waiting for a reply, letting the music continue without his voice. Al blushed hotly shutting the book quickly walking out of the shadows, knowing full well she couldn't hide, and into the room meeting Shuichi in the middle. She was still way too embarrassed from being caught off in dream land to realize that Shuichi reached out and plucked the notebook out of her relaxed hands.

Her green eyes went wide as she lifted her hands to take it back, “Hey!” But the singer ignored the whimpers as he blinked at it.

“What's this notebook for?” Allegra felt her face go pale, and her body cold, as he opened the book flipping through the pages carelessly. She couldn't tell him that it was a book of lyrics she basically wrote for him, of poetry that showed her most intimate feelings. Her stomach was turning, and grinding when he turned to the last thing she was writing, that song that came to her while he sang his purple eyes staring at the page. They went wide as his cheeks grew in color. The book made a soft thumping noise as Shuichi shut it quickly, his eyes bowed, outstretching the book to the girl.

“Sorry…I shouldn't have looked” Shaking her head, Allegra took a hold of the other end of the book her body slouching like a dog who has been scolding by its master. Taking in a deep breath she ignored everything in her body that warned her not to speak.

“No, don't be sorry Shuichi…That is how I feel…” He blinked his large purple eyes, his face contorting like it was just slapped. I felt like hiding right than and there, to get away from her babbling mouth. But it wasn't possible, she had to finish what she started, because Shuichi was standing there, unsure and confused at the words she just said.

Desperately wanting to just get it over, she just let the words tumble out, “Shuichi, I love you…I've loved you from the first moment I heard you sing” Her body shuddered as she suddenly felt the cold chill of someone's anger crawl down her spine.

`Yuki…' Allegra didn't have to really think to realize where it came from, she just knew that her love confession was just heard by her idol's lover. A sense of peace filled her body as she spoke the words she wanted to speak for so long. The two than jumped as the door to Yuki's study suddenly flew open, making a loud pounding noise against the wall. He stood there like a rabid murder silhouetted in the door frame as his golden smothering eyes glared at the pair, like he caught them making out.

Shuichi breathed first, “Yuki?” And as if he was pulled in by the force of gravity, the blonde came over and grabbed Shuichi by the wrist. The smaller boy gasped quietly taken back at this sudden action as he was yanked into the study.

“Wait! Please Yuki-san don't-“The sound of the door shutting behind the two rang throughout the apartment, cutting off any cries of protest from Allegra. She stood there staring at the door as she heard soft thudding. But what ate at her was the fact that there was no conversation…

 

`Yuki…why can't you let me have my fantasy…You didn't have to take away my idol. I know Shuichi is yours…' She thought putting her hands over her ears like she used to do when she was a child. It was an immature way of trying to block out the harshness of reality, but what else could a child do when her relatives talked about how bothersome she was? Plopping on the couch where she slept she kept her ears covered, closing her green eyes doing her best to ignore what was going on in the other room.

`Don't worry Yuki…he's yours and I won't do anything to step in the way…'
