Sheet 9; Taste of Aleatory Music

Written by: Summoner Hirelena!

 

The building shook with another thundering crash, Ryuichi's voice cutting through it,“SHUICHI! ITS NOT TATSUHA!” Shuichi's delicate mouth formed the words, `no way', as he backed up, Allegra hiding behind him for safety. The waves of people in the crowds were starting to move around restlessly, as confusion began to set in. They didn't know whether to cheer for the strange concert, which Bad Luck was known for, or to turn tail and run. The red head guitarist stiffened up stalking over to Shuichi grabbing the mike out of his hand.

“EVERYONE THIS IS NOT A DRILL! LEAVE QUICKLY!” With that outcry the many fans screamed turning away from the stage, and heading towards the emergency doors. But the huge rush of panicked people were stopped as a certain tall dark and handsome blonde stepped in front of them.

“Yuki Eiri?” Came the hushed surprised whispers which echoed throughout the crowd. Yuki reached up and pulled his sunglasses down his golden eyes paralyzing the people that stared into it. It was an almost hypotonic, magical, hold, as he hissed to the suddenly silent and docile crowd.

“Forget what you saw today. You had a good time and nothing strange happened!” The whole multitude nodded in unison like puppets, repeating the order that they were given while Yuki moved to the side.

“Now go” He barked snapping his fingers, and than slipping the glasses back on his face. And with good timing the building trembled again with another thundering sound as the mob came out of their dream like state. But they were oblivious to the noise and the vibrations, because everyone quietly made their way out the door giggling and carrying on a good time babbling about how great that concert was.

 

“Chilu” Yuki's lanky body suddenly jolted like he was hit by lighting. His golden eyes bulged out, the pale lips parting as he gasped sharply.

“Yuki?!” The stage rumbled as Shuichi pulled his gaze away from his lover and to the back stage as a flash of blue jumped onto it.

Allegra put her hands to her mouth quivering, “He's frozen!” The fully grown Kumagoro soon followed swinging at the flash of strange color. Ryuichi was behind the plush echoing the moves of the toy, his now lighter eyes flashing dangerously in the stage lights.

“Sakuma-san-“

“Shapeshifter!” Was all he could muster before the blue blur stopped forming into a body of a teenage girl with long brown hair pulled into a braid. The purple eyes of the Shuichi widened in fear as his body stumbled back slightly in shock.

“Maiko…?” The girl's lips twisted into an inhuman grin, her body turning to face the band, excitement in her eyes. It was as if her body sucked in the light that was flooding the stage, an aura of darkness emitting violently from her.

“Veruhu and Kyuruhu” Allegra shook violently collapsing to the ground on her knees as her bonded now stood before her frozen as if he was apart of a photograph. And along with Bad Luck's lead singer being frozen, so was the lead of Nittle Grasper. Ryuichi stood there behind his large beloved plush frozen in place, staring up still, stuck in time. Suddenly the building shook as the roar of thunder filled the room lighting crashing before the girl.

“Let go of Shuichi you true-namer!” The red head had his guitar off, his fingers still hanging in the air. `Maiko', just giggled, and than a second later jumped out of the way of a flood of water fell from the sky.

“Typi-“ But she didn't finish her sentence, the water quickly began to turn into ice, following the girl. Fujisaki came from the back of the keyboard his hands moving quickly chasing the girl with ice. Hiro didn't even skip a beat as he began to throw bolts at the hopping girl, trying their best to knock her down and out, but not to kill her. And even through all of this, Allegra was clinging and yanking onto his arm crying out for him to move despite the weakening stage.

“Allegra get out of the way!” The guitarist cried as the girl raced over, another body of Allegra appearing next to the other.

“Ha! Now you got to find the real one!” The blonde walked out from back stage, the air around her reeking of confidence. But the woman named Maiko scoffed reaching out as she grabbed the real girls' shoulder shoving her away form the still form of the singer.

“Go away traitor, Yae” And before Mia could say one more thing, her body turned stiff like the others, the copy of Allegra evaporating. The attackers hand lifted high her fingers extending and nails growing and thinning into needle like points. Hiro and Fujisaki began to move towards the imposter, their eyes wide with ultimate knowing of what she was going to do.

“Death to Bad Luck!” Her hand flew down and slashed into the mortal flesh of the singer, long strips of red appearing beneath the clothes he wore. The eyes of Shuichi, although his face was frozen, were watering up from pain. But Maiko only jumped out of the way as they reached their leader.

“SHU-“

Her brown almost black eyes turned to the pair of boys, “Kemetolu and Koyawa, and finally the girl-“Suddenly her eyes rolled back in her sockets as a quiet ping sound echoed in the quiet arena. Maiko's body than collapsed on the stage with a soft thud; her chocolate hair flowing behind her like melted chocolate.

 

“HA GOT HER!” Came the cry of the blonde Producer from the high rafters a grin on his face. In his hand he held a large rifle, still emitting very faint smoke.

Allegra's voice came out in a breathy gasp, dripping with horror, “Shu…Shuichi” She got up quickly after the attack on her idol. Allegra pressed her hands against the small rivers that spilled from his chest, tears forming in her green eyes. The body winced under her fingertips, showing the life that was still coursing through his veins. The girl's eyes grew, her lips sucking in breath quickly.

“He's okay!” K cheered jumping from his point on the catwalks to the stage in a dramatic flare. And as he was doing that, the frozen bodies of Mia, Fujisaki, Ryu, and Hiro unfroze from their petrified positions easing out of their action positions.

The blonde girl and the musical legend quickly made it to the 3 on the stage, “What happened?” The Bad Luck manager put his hands in his golden locks biting his lips slightly. Quickly without wasting time to stop and explain, he started to dig around the stage yanking apart some of the expensive cords.

“A true namer* shape shifter…It took the form of Tatsuha, than Shindou's…” Pulling the thick black plastics together K began to make a rope, bending over sizing up the body of the `girl' lying before him.

“I heard of those…” Fujisaki said in his normal serious tone of voice after dusting himself off. His face was scrunched up like an old man thinking seriously about a life decision as he came over. Silently without any of the people on stage noticing, the famous writer, now unfrozen, slipped out of the room his face frozen in anger.

“They take the form of someone close, and using the voice of the universe…the voice that the gods hear and heed to…they assassinate their target” The room felt as cold as Fujisaki's icy distant tone, as they realized that Takashi was beginning to prove more of a threat and…”Tatsuha…” Ryu whined very quietly putting his little Kumagoro ear in his mouth. His large now deep blue eyes were filled with worry gazing at everyone with a crushed and heartbroken look. With that soft whimper from the idol, everyone remembered the reality that they found themselves in.

“You guys! Come on, I know we need to get Yuki-san's brother back, but we need to get Shindou-kun to the hospital! He needs help, look at all the bleeding!” The smaller girl demanded yanking at her French maid skirt to tear off cloth to make a make shift bandage. The famous idol stiffened up, those usually pleasantly childish eyes of his, glazing over into a cold icy look.

“Ryuichi…” He shrugged off the taller blonde turning and storming off the stage in rage. But the girl didn't even notice as she pressed the cloth against the reddened wound diligently. “Allegra…” Her green orbs turned to the small form of Fujisaki bent down next to her.

“Don't worry, Shindou-san is way too hard headed to let a couple of these small wounds get him” The red head nodded behind them nudging the quiet blonde male next to him. But K kept quiet, crossing his arms over his chest staring heard at the body on the floor.

“You shouldn't lie, Fujisaki-san, he's never lost this much blood” Touma came up from behind the stage and hiding, Noriko following quickly, unpleased at the situation. Allegra started to get up wrapping the arm of her idol around her neck, trying to get the boy to his feet.

“Lets get him to the hospital than!” She gritted through her teeth, but as much as she wanted to she couldn't lift the larger male. Her eyes were tearing up feeling the hopelessness in the situation.

Her voice came out in a mix of grunts and sobs, “Why won't you help me? Don't you care about Shindou-san…?” Collapsing back to her knees she buried her head in that famous cotton candy hair.

“Of course we do!” Hiro snapped back at the girl his mouth still hanging open as if to say more. But before he could do more damage Mia put a hand on his arm silencing him. The Nittle Grasper President's lips formed into a fine line, as his hand touched his platinum hair.

“There is no way to take him to the hospital...He's too famous. If we take him in on major blood transfusions and surgery due to his vampire blood, we would have to somehow explain it for the press”

Sakano took off his glasses cleaning them slowly, “No matter how much of a muzzle we have on it, something that major with such a sore thumb like him, it'll get out”

 

Allegra's fragile, now reddened hands clenched into a fist, “So what do we do?! Let him die?!”

“No! Than I would fail as a Manger of these guys, you're the only one with the power to save him” K said with vigor putting his hands on his hips.

“But, I don't have any type of medical training, what am I supposed to do?”

“K, aren't you asking a lot from her, I mean she's just a student like I am” The young relative of Touma asked standing back up from the girl's side.

The President ran his fingers through his platinum hair, “You don't realize it do you?” The rest of them shook their heads, their eyes eagerly waiting for the answer.

“She was attacked, and impaled with a supposedly fatal wound. Yet, look at her, she's fine, can anyone guess why?” He smiled sweeping his blue eyes over the small audience like a wise teacher waiting for his students to answer.

“I always thought it was because Shindou gave me his blood” Said Allegra. Touma than began to laugh at her putting his hands on face to try to control it. But before he could say anything else, the singer laying in the girl's arms began to convulse sharply.

The guitarist began to growl lunging forward shaking the President harshly, “Damn it enough of your riddles! He's dying! What the hell do you mean?!” Touma grabbed Hiro's wrist pushing it away, than began to dust off his clothes, aggravation now showing through.

“Her blood, it holds the power to heal wounds, if she mixes it with his, than it's a good chance that those small wounds will be healed in no time”

 

Fujisaki was the one who piped up questioning what everyone thought, “What about Yuki-san?”

“He's gone, been gone. So the only hope we have is to have her take his blood” Sharply replied his cousin, turning everyone's attention back to the fact that the writer hasn't been heard from since the petrifying attack. Allegra just shuddered, having that unnerving sense that something was wrong with her doing this. As much as she wanted to be, she shouldn't be mixing her blood with his to save him. That was a lovers place. But as Shuichi shuddered and struggled in her arms, there was no way she was going to cringe away from this just because of her own nervousness.

“Of course I'll do it” The girl bent down, her mouth opening like she did that night in the bathroom and felt the rush of emotion as her lips touched the diminishing warmth of Shuichi's neck.

`This is the only way to save him…I have to do this. Because that jerk Yuki won't even give his lover the time of day…' Allegra kept telling herself this, but in her heart, she was lusting her heart was leaping. There was nothing more she would want than to have him to herself to give herself to him fully.

The warm liquid danced between the two like a fire, drowning her in the pleasurable sensations. They stayed that way as time hung in the air, the color slowly coming back to Shuichi's cheeks. The world became dizzy to the girl even though her eyes were closed, and her body was slouching from the slight lost of her blood. The two bands looked on in shock, their mouths in the shape of o's.

“Is she…”

“That's what it looks like Fujisaki, I don't believe it either” Mia managed to say, totally taken back.

 

Allegra was no ordinary vampire. The wounds that cut deeply in the skin of the singer were slowly starting to close up, the signs of the wound gone. It was as if time was going backwards, and he was never hit at all.

 

“Whoa” Breathed his best friend. The wounds slowly crept back together as if God's own holy and powerful hands were healing them. As the last cuts were closing up on his chest Al slowly pulled away instinctively, her breath ragged and horse. She didn't lift her head though, her head still bent over her idol.

“Don't leave me…” The vamprilla murmured pressing her lips against the skin closing the small puncture wounds. The group held their breath as Al leisurely lifted her head from the nap of his neck, wondering if what just went on helped their upbeat partner. The quiet of the room was broken as the gasping of Shuichi's breath was easing into a slow measured rhythm.

“Shuichi!” The other members of Bad Luck kneeled down beside him sitting him up. Shuichi's now golden eyes slowly lifted, staring blankly for a moment before he could focus them on his best friends.

“Hey…”

“You idiot you scared us! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!” The younger green haired boy scolded his leader, but even though he used insults, he was beaming.

Touma smiled lifting his hand, turning away from the group and his female keyboard band member, “Im going to find Ryuichi, I can't have him running around in this situation”

“Well now that we got that done, what shall we do about the true namer?” Mr. K asked finally speaking up, her eyes pulling away from the direction Ryuichi stormed off in. The pink haired singer got up slowly, helping the girl up to her feet too.

“Where's Yuki? I know he cared enough to save me like this!” Shuichi's head moved back and forth really quickly his bight purple eyes searching out his lover, obviously ignoring the question. Hiro shrugged lazily, “He wasn't the one to save ya man, sorry. It was your little girlfriend” His fingers quickly gestured to the Allegra, smiling his normal cocky smile. The body of the singer slouched suddenly as the energy that she blessed him suddenly looked like an invisible spirit stole it.

“He didn't…save me? And…he left?-“

 

“Look, we can't sit here and listen to the yaoi soap opera between you and lover-boy, we got to figure out what to do with the shape shifter” The American snapped at them. His hands where on his hips, blue eyes narrowed into a hateful glare at the body that still looked like Shuichi's sister. Bad Luck's members quieted down as they dropped the whole Yuki situation and turned their attention to the body. Now that Shindou wasn't in mortal danger, they finally realized what this body meant in the bigger picture. This meant that, Tatsuha, was still missing and in the clutches of Takashi.

“Oh, I'm so stupid” Shuichi breathed his eyes growing with tears. “Poor Sakuma-san…” Allegra's eyes widened as she bowed her head the ivory short hair falling slightly over her shoulders. Her mind was finally clear, Shuichi was out of danger and she could finally see her grave error. Sakuma was just as in love with Tatsuha as she was with Shuichi, and she completely disregarded it. She would be feeling the same way if he had been the one taken, and Shuichi did not take so long to touch on his idol's pain.

`Gods he must hate me…'

“We'll get the information out of him Shindou-san, don't worry” The green haired boy smiled trying to comfort him. Their leader nodded gently, forcing a sad smile to his lips.

“Yea, thanks Fujisaki”

“Let's get this thing out of here, someone who didn't get their memory altered by Yuki might come in and I don't want to be here to explain, do you?” K began to reach for the `girl', silently agreeing with the fact they needed to get rid of any evidence of irregular concert behavior. Bad Luck has always had rough publicity, and if they got caught it wouldn't be very pretty as they tried to wheedle out of it.

 

“What are we going to do with her?” The black haired school girl asked, bringing up the question for the third time. They were so caught up in everything else that they kept forgetting about the changeling. She felt horrid and lower than low about what she did and she was going to do her best to make it right.

“With `it' you mean Pet. Its not even human” Scoffed the blonde female who began to become Hiro's shadow.

“Its name is Phyre, and it's a freelancer that was probably on Takashi's list of people he could use to attack Bad Luck”

“Who cares” Growled the singer as he rubbed his stiff neck. He was not in the mood for a background explanation, Yuki didn't save him, and his idol was lost once again.

“We just need to get the information about Yuki's brother out of Phyre before its too late” Fujisaki noted gravely as K finally put in effortlessly over his large shoulders.

“Let's take her to Echo, at least that way she can watch her while we're not around”

“Hiro your so smart!” The purple eyes of his best friend shimmered in an almost yaoi lover admiration. Hiro chuckled despite the situation as he lifted his hand patting his friend's head. “Of course, its why we work so well together. Talent and brains make a great mix!”

 

“What the hell?” The demon, who took the form of a silver-white eyed, plum colored haired chick that day, tilted her focus to the still passed out body of the true namer. The afternoon was gone and the night was about to fall.

“An assassin sent to kill us-” The conversation got cut short as the body began to move on K's shoulder. The life in the room suddenly died as they turned to the changeling who was laying on the floor. It was almost surreal as the pink haired singer streaked over to it picking it up and shoving the `girl' who looked like his sister against a table, making it cry in pain. The room fell quiet as the ripple of anger that Shuichi was emitting hit them. Their leader wasn't pleased and they felt it without much effort.

 

“Wake up you bastard demon” He growled curling his lips back enough so his dominant male vampire fangs shined in the setting sun flowing in the dusty windows. Phyre's eyes shot open after the pain subside, hissing up a storm.

“Shindou-san?!” The smaller boy took a step lifting his hand in protest of the rough behavior. Al's heart was racing in her chest, suddenly realizing how dangerous her new life was. Her idol almost died in her arms, and with the way he was acting with this demon he was as dangerous and aggressive as his lover when he used his powers.

“I wouldn't if I was you Fujisaki, this has to do with his god's happiness” The red headed best friend warned putting a hand on Fujisaki's shoulder. The boy bit his small bottom lip, wanting to argue, but knew he wouldn't be able t win. Shuichi felt strongly for his idol and his pain, and nothing would stop him from getting that spark of life back into Ryuichi.

“Mia, Echo, do you know anything more about this changeling?” The blonde American leaned his tall frame on a table watching the scene in front of him intently. Mia shook her head, the blonde flashing in the sun.

“Nothing, he never said anything about using anyone else but me, and some underling demons that follow him. But I always imagined he had more up his sleeve” She shrugged easily, “That's just how he was” Echo thought about it a little longer. She flicked her hair over her shoulder in the sensual manners female demons do.

 

Echo sighed, “Yea, I do. She's a criminal on the other side wanted for murder and obviously impersonation”

“So sue a girl for having a good time” Came a haughty androgynous voice out of the lips of Phyre. Everyone's body went ridged as their eyes turned to the new calmed down changeling.

Mia spat, “Your not a girl”

“I could be whatever I wanna be, or whatever you want me to be” It batted her eyes suggestively. Mia was about to say something smart her cheeks flushed in anger and embarrassment but she was cut off.

“I don't give a damn, tell me were Takashi and Tatsuha are!” Shuichi demanded pushing the changeling into the wall more.

It looked down with its purple eyes, shooting a nasty look, as if it was casting a death spell. “Look you little pink haired freak of nature, I will never, ever, tell you where they are at” Al put her hand over her heart the sharp feeling of breath being taken from her by sadness. Through their blood bond she could easily sense that the name calling hurt him deeply.

“You know, Takashi really does not care wither your dead in our clutches or not” The green haired boy stated in his matter of fact tone. Phyre pressed her lips together as she lifted her chin up defiantly, keeping silent.

“Don't bother” They all turned hearing the familiar gruff voice of Yuki. “Ah! Yuki there you are!” Shuichi wailed letting go of the changeling and racing over to his lover. Phyre rolled its shoulders turning towards the back door which they entered in. But before it could get very far, Phyre ran into K, crossing his arms over his chest, making himself the barrier between it and freedom. Tears were welled up in Shuichi's eyes, his arms spread wide and open ready to shower his bonded with love. But he suddenly skidded to a stop, his purple eyes wide.

“Yuki“ He breathed biting his lip. The gang kept quiet as they stared at Yuki, his godlike face now scarred with cuts and bruises. Yuki's molten eyes shifted from Shuichi to Al, burning with unknown intensity. His body slowly moved over in an almost fluid but pained movement closing the door behind him. You couldn't see his wounds, but you knew they were there as he stopped just a couple feet in the building. The writer turned to the girl, ignoring the rest of the people in the room, even their captive.

His words where simple, and so powerful it was absolute, “Come here” Allegra's cheeks turned scarlet basically floating over as commanded. There was no way that you could ignore a call from such a handsome man, never mind he was a vampire. Yuki ignored everyone's jaw dropping (minus Phyre of course), and Shuichi's loud cry of disapproval while he placed his hands on her shoulders pulling the girl closer.

“Hey you asshole! What are you doing?!” The blonde writer continued to ignore the loud cry as he dipped his head by her head, hanging there for just a second, but it felt like eternity. His eyes were tilted locking onto hers, narrowed and unblinking like a hungry tiger watching its pray. Yuki was silently daring her to stop him from what he was about to do. But the girl caught in the stare of his powerful eyes couldn't do anything to resist him. In a flash of white lightening Allegra let out a sharp cry of pain before she squeezed her eyes shut pressing her lips together to silence herself. The blonde's eyes glinted pleasantly, glowing with the high of the power. Satisfied with her reactions Yuki's eyes closed feeding on the girl's blood.

Fujisaki turned to Shuichi horrified, “What is he doing?! Shindou stop him!” The pink haired boy gulped sharply nodding as he came forward, flailing his arms.

“Yuki stop it! Your hurting her didn't you he-“ He stopped cold again seeing Yuki's golden eyes open, giving him his trademark glare. Yuki was making himself loud and clear, he didn't want to be disturbed while he fed, and if he did, there would be heck to pay. So the group kept quiet, turning their eyes away so they couldn't watch the attack. Everything was silent during the attack, except for an occasional whimper from Al, and…

“Hey you weenies, check it out. Your pretty boy isn't as hurt anymore” At Phyre's voice everyone's head snapped too, their eyes turning to the attacker, and attacked. Yuki was pulling away from ravishing her neck, his tongue cleaning the wound before he pressed his lips to it, sending shocks of jealously through his now very distressed lover. Their eyes were as large as saucers as the cuts and bruises that Yuki dawned were slowly disappearing.

“I keep forgetting that she could do that” Phyre kept quiet its eyes, similar to Shuichi's, stayed fixed on the girl deep in thought. Yuki stood up straight, licking his lips to clean off the crimson liquid. “I can't walk about with my face looking like I came from a street fight can I?” The girl rubbed her neck submissively moving to the side as he moved towards the group.

“Ah, Yuki you can't just use people without permission” Shuichi quickly went to Allegra's side placing his small hands on her shoulders to steady her.

Running his hands through his hair, the writer sighed, “Look she's the only one who can heal me” With a sadistic grin he turned his head to the singer. “Unless you want to see me all bruised and bloodied” Shuichi blushed hotly, turning his head in a huff to the girl.

“You okay?” She nodded slowly, the energy taken from her. Yuki was never very gentle, and his drinking wasn't an exception.

`Its okay Shuichi…' Al thought, leaning against the singer. `He only sees me as food… I can feel it. He doesn't think much of me, and I don't think I can ever change the way he thinks'

“So what did you mean by `don't bother', Yuki-san?” Asked Echo, flicking her plum hair over her shoulder.

“My stupid brother is gone, so I went out and decided to do a little reporting. Touma knew where some of the lower demons that work for the bastard hang at. So I went over there” The raven haired girl bit her lip remembering how Touma went after Sakuma-san, and what she did to him. Allegra was very harsh to him in that moment of heat, and she felt horrid every time she thought of it.

“Yuki-san, you didn't-“

“Didn't what? Kill?” He replied back to Hiro as he lit a cigarette. “No, I didn't” Breathing in deeply the blonde took a swig, and than slowly let it out.

“I found out, that he needs the new moon to be able to complete his ritual” Echo snapped her fingers, her eyes lighting up realizing something.

 

“That's right, he has to have the dark of night, when there is no moon”

The blonde grinned pulling out his gun to twirl it around his fingers, “No problem! We'll stop him before the moons disappears!” Everyone except Phyre look relieved, and pleased at this information. There was still time to prevent the destruction of the world by an overwhelming amount of demons crawling into it. They began to chatter amongst themselves except Phyre who kept quiet, and of course Yuki, about how they could ruin is plot.

“Hey” The writer called, trying to get everyone's attention. But no one responded, he called again a little louder, annoyed at being ignored. Once more he called, until…

“HEY!” Everyone blinked looking up as Yuki dropped the butt and stomped it out. “Do any of you idiots know when the new moon is?” The group looked at one another, silently asking if any of them knew when the moon phase was going to happen.

Fujisaki sighed digging in his pocket quickly, “I got a calendar somewhere…ah!” He pulled it out blinking his brown eyes as he flipped through the pages.

“Lets see…Today is Friday…” The pianist gasped softly finding the right day. Phyre shifted nervously from besides K, who was watching it like a hawk. It knew what was coming, even though it didn't know the exact details about it.

“The new moon…happens tomorrow” Everyone went silent, taking this information in. They didn't have a lot of time to plan than, since they had a show to do tomorrow if they moved everything to another center. Or even that they might have to deal with no sleep between Saturday and Sunday…Things really wasn't looking up. It just kept getting worst. And what if they got seriously injured? They would have to make up a bunch of excuses to call out, or go on stage and lie to their public. Nothing looked good for their Public Relations.

“Well at least I can gather up some firepower by than!” The American laughed heartily breaking up the sober air.

“So what are we going to do?” Mia ran her fingers through her light-colored hair leaning against a table.

Hiro shrugged back, “What else can we do but try to stop him by the afternoon?” Touma's cousin almost yelped as he tugged onto the red head's sleeve.

“But what about E3 and our concert?!-”

“There wont be an E3, if the world blows up. We got to go, K-san, can you handle the PR and the E3 staff with Sakano?” The blonde American nodded to Shuichi, his ponytail bobbing up and down.

“They'll understand! Leave it to me, Mr. Manager!”

“Than its settled? You guys meet tomorrow and stop him and his ritual?”

“And be back later so I can laugh at your monumental failure?” Giggled Phyre, putting her hands on its elbows a wide smile on its lips. K shoved the gun against her head, and was about to shoot but the sound of footsteps froze everyone. Al's heart thundered against her chest as she clung onto Shuichi's clothes hiding behind him. No one was supposed to know that they were there, no one should have saw them enter.

“The window” Hissed Mr. K pointing his silver magnum towards the glass as everyone held their breath. After a couple of silent moments, the American motioned that he would go out there and look around just in case. Mia gave the single that everyone should be quiet while he was gone, and that's how they stayed until K came back looking distressed.

“I didn't see anyone, but I swear I saw something…” He was murmuring rubbing the gun on the side of his blonde head. Yuki shifted looking very agitated.

“Look, finish what you got to finish talking about, I have things to do. If my toilet hole and his pet isn't out in 5 I'm leaving”

Shuichi's eyes moistened on the verge of tears, “Not that again! Come on Yuki, your supposed to be all vulnerable and nice to me!” But his cries were unheard as the blonde stalked off.

“Damn, well lets make this quick. Bad Luck, Nittle Grasper, plus Yuki will go out there and beat the bad guy up once in for all. Like Ultimacia in Final Fantasy 8, he just doesn't die till you try to beat them up like 7 times. Echo, you keep an eye on our little demon here, we might have to use it. And that's it, show up for show tomorrow unless K says so. Now, we're out, because I don't want to be left!” The boy turned and took Al by the hand leading her out.

 

“Goodnight everyone!” And like a faithful puppy the pink haired singer ran up to Yuki, who was leaning against one of his many cars smoking another cigarette. His head lifted and saw the both of them behind his golden locks. Yuki dropped the butt stomping it out again, and than went towards the drivers' door not saying anything.

“This totally sucks ass! We're going to have to play tomorrow, I can almost bet on it!” Shuichi whined as they began to drive through the city towards Yuki's home. The blonde kept silent, either listening to the whining, or intently immersed in his own thoughts.

“Shuichi…” The pink haired boy turned in his seat facing her blinking his purple eyes, stopping his rant. The sun started going down, and the street lights were on, the lights flashing in his eyes, giving them that childish sparkle.

“Yea?” Al blushed, fiddling with her fingers suddenly uncomfortable with his attention. But she needed to know, why he left her out of the list of tasks that they had to do for tomorrow. The girl knew she wasn't very powerful, and could only heal them. She was not a lot of help…Gulping down her fears she just blurted it out.

“Was there a reason that…that you didn't mention me in the plan?” His eyes went large surprised at the question as he moved to face the front of the car again. There was a pause of silence between them, the quiet music filling the void.

“I-“

Yuki grunted, “He doesn't want to be distracted”

“What?” She breathed taken back at such a harsh reality.

“Yuki!-“

“You were attacked when you first met the idiot. And than the idiot freaked out, and put himself in danger. Takashi knows you're one of the weaknesses to the hole, so he'll exploit it”

“Geez Yuki, could have been nicer. But Al, I don't know if I could protect you when we go face him…” He trailed off gently, unsure of what to say sensing her discomfort. Shuichi knew she wanted to go and help, but it couldn't be helped that she couldn't protect herself. And Yuki was right, if he took her, than he would be worrying about her care the whole time. He swore to her in that scared bathroom, where Yuki and him made love in numerous amounts of time, that he would take care of her.

“I understand…I'll stay around and try to keep a low profile”

 

 

Al pulled away finally, kissing the wound shut after she cleaned it, “Thank you”

Shuichi shook his head, the pink hair flying around.

“No big deal kitten, Yuki took a lot of blood, and I don't want you to starve” He said pleasantly placing a hand on her head. The bell around her neck tinkled as she smiled closing her eyes reveling in the touch. Yuki allowed her to feed from him, he kinda just grunted and took to his room for the night. The singer rubbed his neck stretching on the couch. His cheeks were a little pale, but he still held that lively air around him.

“Shuichi…are you okay?”

“Yea, I'm fine, I just got to rest up for tomorrow. I have to bring Tatsuha back to Sakuma-san, vampires need their lover. So I cannot imagine what Sakuma-san feels being so far away from Tatsuha, and being deceived by someone who could pass for him” Shuichi got up lifting the blanket over the girl as she laid down.

“You sleep well okay kitten? Today has been a hard day for us all”

She whispered closing her green eyes, “Goodnight Shuichi, Ill see you tomorrow”

“Yea” He whispered, “Tomorrow…Goodnight” He left her side shutting out the light as he quickly slipped into Yuki room. Allegra kept quiet and awake listening to the house noise. There was not going to be any sleep tonight for her.

`I have to make amends with Sakuma-san. He has been nothing but nice to me, and I totally ignored his feelings. I should have understood, he was feeling what I was when Shuichi got hurt.' The girl clutched onto the sheets feeling really stupid. The house finally went quiet, the soft sounds of the bed moving in Yuki's room finally going silent. She hated having to listen to them in there, knowing full well that they were doing things that she wish she could do with her idol. The girl laid still for a couple more moments making sure that they were both asleep before she got up quietly. Allegra knew that she couldn't just sit around and wait for Shuichi to put his life on the line to get Tatsuha back. She took her notebook and tore out a sheet, scribbling down a quick note.

 

To Shindou and Yuki-san,

 

I won't leave without saying anything. But I have to do this… I'm going to rescue Tatsuha-san, and bring him back home. Sakuma-san was hurt because of me and I have to try to fix it. I really should of understood his feelings, because I was feeling the same thing. The person who shares your blood, someone you care deeply about, was in danger. I promise I will be back, despite Yuki's deepest wish I wouldn't be. And although I write this, and you take it as me wanting you to come find me, honestly, please don't look for me. I don't want anyone else to be hurt.

 

See you later,

Allegra

 

Allegra left the note on the couch after she folded her blanket all nice and neat. But as she turned and looked out into the night sky she realized, stupidly, she had no clue where she was going. Yuki probably knew where it was going to happen, but she never asked. So how the heck was she going to save Tatsuha if she had no clue were he was being held?! The girl let out a soft whine plopping back on the couch defeated.

`There's no way I can go and get him if I have no clue…' Suddenly there was a loud tapping sound on the large panes of glass. Allegra quietly got off the couch again and made her way to the window. The boy with moonlight colored hair was standing on the sidewalk tossing a pebble up and down in his hand.

`Keita…' She turned racing to the door, and shoving her bare feet in her tennis shoes and than slipping out the door. Racing down the steps her raven hair flowing behind her, she threw the door to the outside.

“Keita! What are you doing here?” Allegra panted quietly looking up at his jade with her own. He grinned widely dropping the pebble, walking over to face her.

“Hey, Allegra right?” She nodded quickly tilting her head the bell quietly making its noise.

At last catching her breath she quickly questioned him,” What are you doing here this late?” Keita ran his fingers through his long silver hair sighing.

“They're not up are they?” He finally said after a moment of silence. The girl blinked her eyes, confused at the inquiry. Suddenly she didn't feel very safe, her usual bodyguards not around, asleep in their bed. And for some reason, she could sense that he knew this, and just wanted to hear her confirmation.

“How did you know I was here?” She pressed, obviously ignoring the question.

“Ah, well that's easy! Tofu is very up to date with all of N-G's bands. And since you were so sudden, they definitely found some information on you…They know that your living here” Keita said mysteriously with a sly grin.

“So why did you come and find me? Are you trying to get information out of me about Bad Luck? Because I wont do that!” The girl said stubbornly, trying her best to look `tough'. She didn't want to let this guy know that she was scared, and didn't know how to prevent him from taking advantage of it.

He lifted his hands waving them, “No no sweetie, I'm here to help you”

“I know all about their secrets, their other lives” Allegra's face went pale, realizing that he knew about their more dark sides. She leaped forward taking his sleeves, shaking them desperately.

Hysterical she clung onto him babbling, “Please! Don't let it get out I'll go with you if you want! Just don't hurt th-“

“Relax Princess! I'm not going to try to sell you to the media!” Keita laughed at her, highly amused. “I know what you want to do, and I'm here to help you try to get Tatsuha back” Allegra blinked away her threatening tears, staring up at the boy in confusion.

“You what?”

“I know” He replied gently smiling. “I hope I can trust you with a secret” Numbly the girl nodded, totally taken back at the sudden question, and words. He knew about them being vampires, and he wasn't going to tell the news to ruin Bad Luck? He was from a different record company label, so why would he be so nice to them?

“Okay, well I get visions. And I knew that you were going to be leaving tonight to search for something. I didn't know who you were though, so I couldn't really focus on what you wanted. But when I saw you today…and when I concentrated on what you really wanted for, I saw. I saw that you wanted to find the guy that follows Sakuma-san around, Tatsuha. It didn't take much for me to figure out where he was too. There's a temple called the Sanctuary of Master Xin, a little outside of the city. There's a way to go underground it, and that's where' the ritual area is, and that's where you will find Tatsuha” Al's green eyes blinked stunned at the words.

“Visions…Wow…” She suddenly felt jealous at him and his abilities. She had nothing, and other people had all these special abilities. Keita nodded, pointing towards the west.

“Its down there, I suggest to grab a cab and hurry up if you want to do this before they get up” Quickly the Al turned towards the house so she could retrieve her cell phone.

`Oh wait! I got to say th-` But as she turned back to say thanks to the man who told her how she could make Ryu happy, all she saw was an empty street. Keita was gone. Her forehead furrowed, totally taken back at how this person disappeared silently and like a ninja. Allegra rubbed her shoulders in the cool air, feeling very uneasy. But after a moment she realized that he was right, and that she didn't have much time. It would take time to get out of the city, figure the way in, and than sneak Tatsuha out before the sun started to rise. Bad Luck was due to appear at the Convention early, and if she wasn't back by that time, she was afraid that they might look for her and miss their big chance for all that publicity. And Allegra would be damned if she did anything to hurt Shuichi. Quietly sneaking back into Yuki's home she grabbed her cell phone from the charger and snuck back out. Dialing furiously she called up for a cab for down the street.

 

She was going to find Tatsuha if it was the last thing she would do…

Author's Note: Oh my Goddess, that took forever to write. Darn my evil STAT teacher for taking all my time. I'm glad I finally got it done, I just needed a bit of inspiration. (Which was listening to Anti-Nostalgic ad than In the Moonlight after that while I was going to bed). Ah the wonders of a good daydream^^. Also, this chapter was hard to write since I had to make Ryuichi upset at Al. I really had a hard time letting Ryu be angry at one of my characters since hes such a loving person. But the way that I wrote it, I couldn't help it you know? Ryuichi is possessive, and kinda crazy, so he needed to storm off and things. The next chapter though is in a spilt POV, since the main characters are in different places. Anyway, I have a few things to explain.

 

First off, what the heck is a true-namer? A true-namer, came from Dungeons and Dragons. It's a type of spell caster that only need to know the `true name', the word the universe gives it, to affect. So the words that Phyre babbled, are the `true names', of Yuki, Shuichi, etc. Hehe, since I don't know what they are exactly, I just ended up putting their names through my language, and just using that.

 

Second, what the heck is a changeling? Its someone who can change their shape whenever they want. Another Dungeon's and Dragons thing, I loved playing it!

 

Lastly, what was up with Yuki's toilet comment? Well, I finally got to reading volume 10 of Gravitation, yes sadly, Lena hasn't read all of the Gravitation manga ><. And I couldn't help but die of laughter hen Yuki called Shuichi a toilet hole, and had to stick it in the story.

 

Okay, that's all the explanations. If you need me to explain something else for me, than just e mail me!

 

Yay! Now for a preview!

 

Okay, so now Al is set that she has to go save Tatsuha, what will happen there? Will she get back in time? And what's up with Keita? The mysterious boy who can have visions, why is he helping? And what about E3? Will Bad Luck have to perform with their Number One fan being missing?

 

All of that and more in the next installment of, `Blood Stained Music Sheets', please continue reading my story and please leave comments!
