Noizu didn't have to perform until tonight and they planned to reherse with Kuwabara in the afternoon so they took the morning off. It was nice to be back in Tokyo since it was the most familiar to them since moving from their small little towns in Kochi. Koenma's first stop was Botan's to tell the girl that he was back and had the morning off, it was from there that the male went to get breakfast for his self and the others to have while they look through the news papers for a place to live so they will no longer have to reside in the apartment that Shin Sawada has paid for for them to live in. After breakfast, Kuronue strapped on his leash then Bayuu's and with the chain he often wore on his jeans he hooked the two of them together at the neck as he often does when taking his pet for a walk.
"Hiei you wanna come with us." Asks the male in a way that said his best friend didn't really have a choice in the matter.
Hiei has been quiet since they left Shinjuku and Kuronue had a good idea as to why. Not being able to tell him that he was in love with him was eating the poor guy up inside. It had to be, when they boarded the train earlier he had been a dream cloud over his choice of outfit and kept his gaze fixated out the window, for a moment he thought that Hiei might have been looking at that red head from the park that asked for an autograph while he was boarding a different train but that seems unlikely.
Boots on, jackets and caps, sunglasses to keep away fans, the two of them start out down the street. Its wasn't as cold in Tokyo as it was in the other prefectures but they bundled up anyway because of the gray skies warning chances of snow. The walk was silent between the two of them, nothing but the sounds of the city stirring about them and the jingling of the chain between Kuronue and Bayuu's necks as the ferret moved about on the sidewalk. The taller male kept his glance at his best friend as if waiting for him to gather the courage to just look at him. The smaller boy star struck. Sure to anyone else it looked like Hiei were pissed off, with his hands in his pockets and head down walking like he doesn't see anyone, but to his best friend the boy looked like he had been on a wild ride and may as well have a large head and eyes atop a small body.
Bayuu rushed up Hiei's leg and across the back of his shoulders causing the vocalist to smile faintly until he realized what was touching him. Startled he swatted at the animal.
"Will you get off of me!" He snapped then went on to say. "Don't climb on someone unless you're invited."
Confused by the humans words, yet feeling the negative energy the pepper colored animal hopped to the extended arm of his owner.
"Aaawww, what's the matter Hiei." Teases Kuronue brushing his fingers along the back of his friends neck. "You think it was a pretty girl for a minute."
"Shut up, Kuro." He growls.
Laughing at how easily the boy was to read, he wraps an arm around him. "What's on your mind, buddy. I've had the strangest feeling that you've wanted to tell me something." Leaning over to the point of the tip of his nose touching Hiei on the cheek he says. "Its not like you to keep things from your best friend so it must be big whatever it is."
Weighing his options to tell him or not, Hiei swallowed hard then looked up into the males sharpened blue eyes. Hiei smirked at the thought that just ran through his head, about looking at his friend long enough he might honestly be good looking. Truly his mind was still reeling from being with Kurama just last night. When he woke up early that morning the red head was gone, but he had left a note for him.
I thought it would be best if I left before you had to leave, your band mates might not have taken well to the sight of us in bed together. I'll see you in a month, Kurama.
The boys mysterious nature was like a drug and he'd willingly expose a vein for the needle to pierce. Unable to hold back his smile and the frantic feeling rushing through his groin at the memory of the beautiful male moving up and down over his hardened member was enough to send him smack into a pole- which thankfully didn't happen due to Kuronue moving him from the path of embarrassment and pain to his nose.
Snapping out of it, he says. "Hn. If I tell you you can't repeat it to the others. I'm serious Kuro', not a word."
"Wow, this is serious." He smiles faintly, as if he didn't know.
"I...." Grabbing the males coat he pulls him into ear shot. "I slept with someone last night."
Where was that pole when you needed it. That hadn't been what he had expected to hear. Who was she? When did they meet? He didn't know his best friend was the type to sneak fans up to his hotel room for sex. Is that why he wanted a seperate room, so he could be with this person? He actually felt kind of... jealous.
"Did you hear me?" He asks when getting no response.
"....Uh, yeah. I heard you." He shakes out of his daze. "So, who was it? Is she pretty at least- don't tell me that you did some bowser."
Hiei blushed looking around at nothing for a moment.
"Oh god, she was ugly? Hiei, have some sense man."
"Its not that...."
"Okay, then on a scale of 1 to 10, me being the highest Yusuke being the lowest and Koenma somewhere in between. How cute?"
"20." He says simply.
Maybe if he switches places with Hiei he could hit that pole easier. So Hiei slept with some unworthy chick who doesn't deserve even the slightest glance from him. Hn. Probably some blonde bimbo from the states looking for some foreign meat. Thinks the male, he's seen lots of marriage announcements from fame and all of them were with foreigners lately. He doesn't have a problem with that but when its his best friend that's being seduced he has to draw the line. And yeah, maybe his hurt pride has something to do with it as well.
"There's one more thing..... this she that you keep mentioning, is actually a he."
Wide eyed, Kuronue was sure he'd have a heart attack right here on the street. Catching his surprised look, he straightens his face. "Okay. So... who was it?"
"You know the red head from Shinjuku?"
"That pretty boy!?" Shouts Kuro by mistake.
"Keep it down, not telling the others meant don't tell anyone in general." Says the shorter male glancing about to make sure no one looked their way. Readjusting his shades, he nods to his friends question a moment ago. "Yes, the pretty boy."
"How did this happen?" He grills him. "When did this happen?"
"A couple weeks ago." Explains the male, tone trained to indifferent. He's been waiting for this conversation- didn't think he'd have sex under his belt though, not to mention it isn't going at all like he thought it would. "I just kept noticing him in the crowd and that night we started the tour he came to the hotel and got into my room."
"Is that when you did it!" He asks.
"Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down." Shaking his head disapprovingly, he contunued. "No. I told you it happened last night, that was the first night he came to me. He wanted to ask me out." He shrugs.
"Ask you out? Where? You can't be seen with him, not on a date."
"We know that. We figured we'd keep our dates between us, spending time in the hotel or at my place- once I get one."
"And the sex just sort of surprised you both."
"Actually it did." He smiled at the memory that will surely haunt him for a while.
Letting it all sink in, he then smiled at how stupid he was. Thinking that Hiei liked him. What was he thinking? But this could pose as a problem if the media found out about it. This pretty boy seemed to be on the same thought train by suggesting they stay in the hotels and such; and it does seem to be making Hiei happy so as his best friend, he supports that. Besides, its not as if dipping into taboo skin was unheard of, it just wasn't spoken of none of them being sure of the other and all. Koenma's made his choice, but Yusuke was another story and Kuronue now knows Hiei's path. He actually chose no one but he supposed if he had to get his rocks off he'd of picked Hi-...
"So." Nudging the male with his elbow, he says. "How was it?"
"I'm not gonna tell you."
"Why not?!" He sits his hands on his slender hips. "I'd tell you. In gross detail."
"Gross isn't the word for it." With a shrug he adds. "Besides, I don't even know how to give details, I'd probably just make you sick."
"Chicken."
Hiei turned a frosty red eyed glare at the male.
Waving it off they walk in silence for a bit, but with hands in prayer Kuronue turns to the male pleading with his eyes and voice. "Come oooonn, tell me. I won't say anything, I swear."
"You already made that promise."
"Yeah and if you don't give me details I might have to break it."
A brief stare down was underway as they hit a cross walk and waited out the traffic. Submitting to the boys pestering, Hiei rolls his eyes.
"Fine. I'll tell you." He says. "Although I don't know why you'd wanna hear about it."
"Everyone likes hearing about sex, its common knowledge."
Unsure of that information, Hiei gathers his nerves. "It was good."
"Aaand."
"And what?"
"Who was where? Who started it?"
"We were on the bed, and I started it." Turning his eyes straight ahead, he adds. "And wipe that stupid smirk off your face because I did it without really knowing what it was that I was doing."
"Oooh, first time. Even better." He glances down when the leash tugs at his neck, giving it a quick yank to straighten out the straying animal he then asks. "Were you on top."
Blushing, he waves it off. "This is ridiculous. Stop asking questions."
"Alright. I wonder what the others would think about our sexy singers night activities? I'll bet they'd pick on you for months."
Growling, he shoves the male. "You're pushing your luck."
Snickering, the taller male says 'hello' to a woman walking by causing her to blush since she was staring at them. "I'm sorry. I'm not teasing you, go on."
Still glaring, he wets his lips then says. "He was sitting on my lap." His shoulder juts forward from being smacked suddenly. Face scrunched in warning, he then says. "It was weird; I've always heard about sex, and we've all seen it done but then to actually do it. I get why people become addicted."
"That good?"
Hiei's silence clearly meant 'yes'. Well now he is jealous, his best friends first time with a man and it has to be some fanboy.
"Ha. And no one ever tells you how nice it feels when you're in there and your own sem-.." his words are stopped by a hand over his mouth.
"That's enough for today." Says the jaded male lowering his hand.
Knowing something was up, Hiei glances side long at the taller male. Scoffing, he says. "Don't tell me you're upset about it. I wasn't planning on staying single forever." Cocking his head to watch the males face, he adds. "No one is gonna come between us Kuro', you know that."
"Yeah I know that. But does this red haired guy know that."
"I'll tell Kurama the next time I see him."
"Which will be?"
"A month from now, he's visiting his mother."
"Mm hmm." He intones. "I'll bet he's going home to break up with his boyfriend to be with you." He mutters.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Shivering, the smaller male tucks his bare hands into his pockets. "Let's take the bus back." He suggests seeing a bus sign up ahead.
"Alright." Huffs the nightengale.
Waiting at the bus stop a group of teenaged girls kept glancing at them. They kept their gazes straight ahead. The murmur got a bit longer, a little louder as the girls wondered about their ressemblance to the vocalist and guitarist. Luckily the bus showed up and they quickly boarded it.
"You can't ride with an animal sir. You're gonna have to get off."
Scoffing. The tall male rolls his eyes at the large woman. "Yeah right. He's not gonna bother anyone, look at the leash."
The woman eyed him for a long while then laughed shaking her head. "Do you know how many brats have tried getting a ride with those damned animals. Leash or no leash, its a wild animal and its gonna use my bus as a toilet." Waving her meaty hand, she says. "You're gonna have to walk. Sorry."
"Like you are." He spats at the woman. "Come on Hiei."
"You're on your own Kuro." He sits down.
This time he's the the one doing the glaring as he steps off the bus.
"Don't worry Kuro' you won't have to walk back." Says the male from the window. Looking at the group of girls that started up the street once the two of them boarded the bus, he calls out. "Isn't that Kuronue Uguisu! I'd recognize that ferret from anywhere!" He then laughs, planting his butt down on the seat.
Turning around, the girls mouth drops. "Oh my god it is him!" She bellows having overheared the vocalist words.
Hiei laughed hearing some kind of swear come from his best friends mouth before he dashed off down the street a wave of girls following after him. He'll be nice and toasty running home. Hiei only hoped the guy didn't take that as means of telling the others about him and Kurama. He plans on telling them but when the time is right.
The bus jerked forward, driving down the street. 11:15 almost time to go to rehersal. They expected a big crowd since they're singing with Kuwabara who in his self is a big leaguer compared to them but this was gonna be their chance to really show Japan what kind of music they want to sing since Hiei was asked to write it and compose the music. He just hoped that gorilla woudn't ruin it.
...................
Hiei and Kuronue and Yusuke are stacked over each other peeking from behind a large curtain back stage at the concert hall. The place is huge! They've seen performances in places like this when watching them at home and the camera would get a shot of the crowd but in real life its so surreal.
"No way all these people are here to see Kuwabara. I just don't believe it." Says Yusuke.
Straightening up, patting Hiei's abused back since he was leaning on it, Kuronue shakes his head. "No. Some of them have to be our fans too."
"That small section of riff raffs there in the front." Says Yusuke crossing his arms.
Pointing a finger with a teasing smirk, the taller male says. "At least they're in the front."
Shrugging, the baby faced brunet glances past his friends with a slight lean to the side to get a peek at the crowd. "Kuwabara is our senpai after all."
"Yeah right," quips Yusuke. "I think you're an in the closet Kuwabara fan."
Blushing, Koenma crosses his arms defensively. "So what if I do like a couple of his songs. Dachi is really good."
"Yeah right." Mutters Hiei. "And anyway it doesn't matter if we have 500 or 5 fans out there, all of them are gonna change their minds about us when we perform."
"You guys ready to rock!" Kuwabara's harsh tone cut through their peaceful little chit chat as he didn't walk up to them, he more like bounced his way over. Hand gripping the mic since he was just out on the stage singing.
"Whenever you are." Replies Hiei coolly.
Holding out his thumb, Yusuke says. "Three."
Covering his thumb with his fingers yet leaving his thumb up, Koenma says. "Two."
Mimicing them, Kuronue says. "One."
And finishing the stack Hiei adds his fist and with a break they shout. "Three, two, one. Make some Noise!!"
Taking his mic from the amp beside him Hiei walks out onto the stage.
"This is kind of exciting, I've never sang rock before." With a laugh he adds. "Hope I don't end up screwing up your song by out singing you though. Deh hehehehehe!!"
The five of them move out onto the stage. The crowd is screaming to the point of foaming at the mouth, mostly because of the long flowing skirt Kuronue chose to wear today, black vest and lavish hat atop his head. The guy has a flare for essentric clothing. Hiei was no slouch either when it came to buckles and chains but today he wore something a little more classy, sleeveless black shirt with a tear in the center held together by buckles and leather pants that hugged in the best places. Yusuke usually wore whatever same with Koenma since the two of them were never usually front and center.
There was a brief pause in the air before puffs of smoke shot up from the stage and with that Kuronue brushed his fingers roughly down the strings of his guitar. Kuwabara looked seriously out of place next to them with his white dress shirt and blue jeans. But the ape looked like he was ready to keep up if that's what he had to do. But when the rock music really started cooking, he thought again about his theory of outshining the youngsters in their profession. Mr. Sawada said he could write up whatever song he'd like to perform just as long as Kuwabara could sing it with them and Hiei was sure that... with a voice as.... unique as Kuwabara's rock would be prefect for him.
"Gin no yume tsumugu ame no shirabe." Hiei points his mic at Kuwabara who was looking to him for his cue's. He learned the entire song he assured but he didn't know when his turn would be to sing since their rehersal was mostly Noizu messing around with each other. It's a challange but its fun.
His rough voice coursed over the two lines he had. "Kimi no ushiro ni tatsu no wa dare? Mou ichido meguriau tame-..."
"Me o tojita." Chimes Hiei with a perfect tenor note points to Kuwabara.
"Yakata mune wa kusari ni tsunagare."
"Saketa kizu wa taiyou ni dakare."
Unable to keep from smiling at the energetic seventeen year old, he nearly laughed his lines out. "Karada o tsukisasu hikari to kage."
Again in tenor, Hiei sings. "Mitsumeteiru..... Mada, anata wa... Kawarenai kara... saa... me o tojite." With a gesture to Kuwabara he starts to jump as they sing the chorus together. Kuronue leaning into his mic shouting 'Dybbuk!' as the two sing.
"Dybbuk!"
"Taiyou ni yakare!"
"Dybbuk!"
"Kono mi o kowashite."
"Dybbuk!"
"Itami to wakare."
"Dybbuk!"
"Toki o koroshite!"
The crowd was really into it. They jumped at the chorus and screamed at Hiei's solo bridges it was completely trippy the sound of them all at once. Kuwabara even snagged a hug from him. It was starting to make Hiei wonder how many people were gay in the singing community. It really is unspoken so he could only wonder rather than ask.
"Man that was too much!" Shouts the male unable to come off the high. "I never knew that kind of music was so fun to sing."
Hiei only snickered from the energy the red head is pouring all over the place. He wished he could feel that energy and sing like that every time he's on stage but it just can't be until they're a bit bigger then maybe Sawada will see that they can draw in crowds of all kinds to hear what they like to sing.
"Heh heh, I thought this one woman would pee herself everytime you said 'Break my body'." He slaps the back of his hand against Hiei's arm. "Hey, you guys are free right? We can get something to eat together."
"As long as you're paying, I'm eating." Says Yusuke walking side by side with the red haired ape of a man.
"Hn." Leaning over to whisper to Hiei, Koenma says. "I thought he didn't like him."
With a shrug, the vocalist made his way from backstage.
Finding the boys body language as odd, Koenma asks. "What's eating him?"
"A red head." Winking at the brunet, Kuronue hurries on by to snag Hiei before the male declared 'privacy' for the day.
With a sigh, he slaps a hand to the side of his head. "We're on the verge of being ego maniacs." He mutters to no one. Recomposing his self, he looks to where Yusuke wandered off to. "Hey Yusuke, wait up!" He follows after the two.
