*triumphant grin* I, here, behold…chapter FOUR of Rock Band! *gets so happy* ^.^

To my dear friend Cobalt, who not only brought out my crazy insanity, but also stuck by me when it was unleashed. ^_^ Thank you!

Rock Band Part IV

If you do not listen to this chapter closely, many questions at the end will still be unanswered. There is still much a journey for the two boys, the journey…to find who they truly are.

*Cobalt begins to read again*

~*~*~*~*~

Heero held up a mirror to him and he gasped.

Duo slowly began shaking his head in the "no" motion as he quickly stood up and glared at Heero. "Who the hell are you, and what have you done with Heero!?" Duo said, quite outraged.

"Funny you would mention hell Duo, especially since I live there, but what you need to do first, is accept what you are. If you can't, you will die, and so will I. There will always be evil, and there will always be good, one cannot over-balance the other, if you do not play your roll…you know what will happen.

Duo stared at the other man strangely for a second, "I'm not saying I believe you or anything, but what exactly am I?"

Heero shook his head. "I do know, this is true, but you must find it for yourself. There is also another person we should find, that would help you discover who you are; I promise you will know her when you see her. Everyone has a guardian, even you and I; we just have to find them. So, if you accept, this begins our journey."

Heero held out his hand. "You take my hand, you accept, you walk out that door, you decline."

Duo stared at Heero's hand, then to the doorway, and then back again. Duo started walking towards the door, and then turned towards Heero's hand. Not quite sure what to do, Duo gingerly reached his hand out, and ever so slightly, took Heero's.

Immediately afterwards, Duo found himself in front of a screaming crowd. He was sitting on a stool, guitar in hand, mic in front of his mouth. He looked back, and saw Heero sitting at a black drum-set, his drum sticks shaped like pitchforks at the ends in which he held them. He then examined his guitar, it was white, and going around some of the strings was a golden halo.

Confused, he looked at Heero quizzically, who only winked in return and mouthed, "You'll know what to do."

Not knowing what else to do, he picked up the mic, and the words just seemed to come to him.

"Welcome New England!"

Duo heard more cheers.

"This is a great honor to be here, I hope you all have a great time jamming with us tonight!"

More cheers.

Duo sat back down on his stool, and started playing chords, he himself had never heard, nor had he ever practiced. The words came just as strangely, Duo singing them in English, and then Heero singing after him in Japanese.

I feel your love reflection

In your eyes as they gaze back into mine

Writing a distant, never-ending story

I feel your love reflection

mitsumekaesu hitomi ni

egaite haruka na Never-ending Story

As if throwing off the sadness and pain, I flap my wings,

and in my heart, I spread wide

the wings of courage that you've given to me.

kanashimi mo itami mo

furikiru you ni habataku

anata ga kureta tsubasa wo

kono mune ni hirogete

Ah... I want to feel the beat of this irreplaceable love

so much, it's heart-wrenching and maddening.

aa kakegaenai ai no kodou wo

setsunaku kuruoshiku kanjite itai

They repeated these lines once more before ending in a long vocal chord. The audience cheered and clapped as the boys exited off the stage.

Duo tried to get over to Heero, but as soon as they both stepped off, they were whisked away by guttering managers.

"Duo, baby, that was great, I tell you what, when we make that single of yours, let's add this as a bonus song, eh doll?"

Duo just nodded, still utterly confused, until finally they were rushed back out onto the stage for another song that came just as eerily comfortable as the others.

~Three hours of bombarding screaming fans and long vocals later~

Duo and Heero waved good-bye to their fans and got rushed off the stage. There, they both went into their room. Immediately after getting in there, Duo slammed the door, and quite angrily turned to face Heero.

"Okay man, this is NOT cool! What the fuck was that!?"

"You accepted my hand, and now we are playing by my rules. You wanted to be a famous singer/guitar player? I got it for you, but this is the best way to meet the most people, maybe you could meet HER."

"Yeah Heero, that's just all fine and dandy, considering I have no idea what she looks like, or what to look for, the only helpful thing I know is that she is female!"

Heero nodded his head. "Yes, that is all you know, but I've said this before, you will know when you see her."

Duo was getting plenty aggravated by this point. "That's just great, what if I do see her, and I don't know it, then what're we gonna do? Ya know, this is bull-shit, I am not going to be going on with this stupid little trick of yours!"

Duo tried to go out the door, but found the door not budging. He then glared at Heero on his way to the window, who was ever so calmly sipping his bottled water, his legs propped up on another chair. Duo tried to pry open the window, no such luck, he even went to the extent of trying to break the window with a chair, not even a crack formed.

Surrendering, Duo plopped down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "This is NOT happening."

"Duo, you saw what you were yourself, you saw what I was, you have to accept it."

"Problem is, I don't know exactly what I am…, but I guess if you're the devil, I must be…oh shit."

Duo suddenly realized what he was. "I'm the opposite of evil, I'm…?"

Heero nodded.

*Cobalt closes the book*

Soon you will find how I come into the story my dears, then it will all become clear.

To be continued…
