..................


The school bell rings four times within two solid soundings. Bing, bing, bong bong. Bong, bong, bong, bong. And slowly, moments after this, students file out of the building. Some of the teens are discussing their plans for the weekend, others are talking about getting piercings or tattoos, visiting relatives and such. One girls comes rushing from the building, school bag swinging back and forth as she hurries off of school grounds. "Wait Ami! Wait!" Calls another girl hurrying out of the building after her. This girl is short compared to the first runner, so she really has to push her legs to keep up. Groaning, she takes a corner. "I wish she would stop doing this to me everyday." Looking on up ahead she sees that Ami is already taking the next corner towards the news stand where they're headed. Slowing to a stop, she huffs and puffs until she catches her breath. Why chase her, she'd be back in no time; after all, they promised to meet in the park once they got the new In Touch magazine with the spread on Noizu in it.

That is Ami and Hamako's favorite band in the world and they squealed with glee when they finally got their special order posters in the mail. The ones where you had to be eighteen years or older to have, the ones from the Private Thoughts album with the covered, yet, uncovered pictures of the band. Hamako didn't hold it against the band when they canceled the last two parts of their tour for that album because she could understand, it was all over the news; Hiei's twin sister, Yukina, wound up in the hospital and he wanted to go see her. Where as she thought it was totally wrong of the media to invade the Jaganshi's privacy, she also couldn't help but like being updated on the cute singer, she even sent his sister a get well card and present. A key chain for her phone, its a kitten holding a bell.

"I've got it, Mako! I've got it!"

See, what did she tell ya. Now that her breath has been caught, she waits for her friend to catch up to her so the two of them can catch a ride on the bus to the park. Ami is practically blinding the sun she's glowing so much and she makes a little hop to her friends side, almost like she pounced on home-plate during a baseball game.

"Last copy too, you don't know how lucky we are." Walking now, the two head for the bus stop across the street. "Five whole pages of info and pictures." She's flipping through the magazine as they walk, glancing at pictures of this artist and that celebrity until she finds the band that she's been looking for. "Eehheehhee!!" She jumps up and down. "Its here! Its here!"

The two girls step onto the sidewalk just as the bus is coming up the street. A few other girls are glancing over their shoulders, trying to peek past their titled heads in order to catch a glimpse at a magazine they may have waiting for them in the mailbox at home.

"We're gonna have to split up the pictures once we're done reading it." Ami says absently. Looking up when the bus doors open, she shoves the magazine into her school bag then climbs aboard.

....................

The two girls are sitting on a wooden bench at the park, heads together as they read the magazine. The boys of Noizu are staring up at the two of them from atop a pink page with white words written across it.

Hamako giggles when she sees her favorite members personal information. "I just love Kuronue's hat fetish. Isn't he cute?"

Ami nods to agree, yanking her long bangs from her face. She had a hair clip in it sweeping the darn things to the side but she lost it when she changed for gym. "But Yusuke is even cuter, I love the way he taps his thighs during interviews like he's still drumming."

Going through the magazine a bit more the two of them drop their jaws from a picture of Hiei smiling at the camera as though it were his best friend and it just told him the silliest joke. The two sigh in unison when a surprise picture of the entire band unfolds on the next page.

"Don't get me wrong," says Ami while holding up a hand as if to say 'call it a truce on who's the best looking member of the band'. "I love Yusuke, but something about Hiei." She shakes her head unable to say the impure thoughts that run through her head.

"I know I know." Hamako shakes her head with a huge smile on her face, ponytail swinging back and forth. "He's so gorgeous! I love his eyes, have you ever seen a brown look so totally red before?"

"Never. But what about his hair? I swear he let me touch it once and that starburst isn't fake, its softer than his real hair." She adds on the end very matter-of-factly.

Hamako makes a face at her friend knowing darn well she'd been with her to every single thing Noizu has done that the two could afford to go to and she's never once been brave enough to ask Hiei anything beyond 'How are you?'. But a girl can dream, she'll say that much.

Tapping her finger to her chin, Ami says as she looks harder at the mini-poster. "You know, Hiei looks a lot like Lee Jun Ki."

Scrunching her face as she eyes the cute vocalist. "That Korean singer?" Looking harder at the picture she nods. "Yeah, you know what. He really does."

A sharp gasp comes from her best friend. "You don't think Hiei might be a foreigner, do you?" She turns the magazine this way and that as if a better angle might tell her the answer. Turning to the picture of him standing solo, she cocks a brow. "His eyes are cut a little different than the other guys."

"That doesn't mean anything," says Hamako in a very controlled, know-it-all way. "Just look at his last name, Jaganshi, that's so Japanese."

"Yeah, you're right." She nods. With a loving sigh and the magazine pressed to the front of her school uniform, she says. "Ami Jaganshi." Another loving sigh. "That sounds so good."

"Tah. Not nearly as nice as, Hamako Jaganshi."

The two girls jump when they hear laughter behind their heads. Turning they see a red haired male behind them snickering to his self.

Blushing, Ami says. "I'm sorry. Were we disturbing you?"

"No not at all." The red head waves a hand.

The two girls blush hearing his light and handsome voice.

"I didn't mean to eaves drop but I find your conversation a bit strange."
Blinking, Ami asks. "Strange how?"

"Well, you're planning this marriage to someone you don't really know." With a shrug he says. "Its just funny to me."

Offended, Hamako glares. "We do know about him! Lots of magazines and TV shows ask them all kinds of questions."

"Yeah!" Chimes Ami.

A sympathetic look is given to them. "I didn't mean anything by it. May I see that magazine?" He holds out his hand.

Unsure the two girls hand it over to him. The male looks through it, smiling at his boyfriends picture staring up at him from the pink page. "Right here, it says that 'he adores the necklace that he received from Miss Park on Valentines day'."

"Mmhmm." Says Ami.

"He never takes it off." Informs Hamako.

"Check the dates from when the two began dating. Hiei is wearing the necklace in all of them. If it were a gift from Trini than wouldn't it have only started to appear a couple months back?"

The two girls exchange looks.

"The necklace was given to him by his sister."

The girls eyes go wide with astonishment. Could what this guy be saying true? What else does he know, and who is he?

"Are you some kind of stalker of his or something?" Asks the chubby girl, but then it hit her. Finger up, Hamako says. "Wait a minute..."

"I've seen you before!" Ami declares as the thought hits her at the same time it came to her best friend. "You're Minamino Shuichi, that guy that joined the group to play violin in that new song."

Kurama gave a single nod.

The two girls nearly have a heart attack. They can't believe that someone who has been close to Noizu is talking to them like its no big deal. They have to keep him with them as long as they can.

"And here," Kurama goes on. "It says that Hiei's favorite color is black, but its red. He hides a bit of it on everything he wears." After a thought he adds. "I'm not really sure if he even knows he's doing it." That seemed to make him smile, and he couldn't wait until Hiei's return to ask him.

Shattered, Hamako takes back the magazine when Kurama hands it over the seat to her. "So what are you saying, that its all a lie?"

Shaking his head, he replies. "No, not all of it. Just some times you can't always believe what you read." With a shrug, he says off hand. "For all we know Hiei might not even really be dating Miss Park, he could not be into women altogether." Glancing at his watch, he smiles at the two girls. "But you know I'm just joking about that. If you'll excuse me, I have to be going."

"Bye." They both say as the male departs from the bench behind theirs.

Sitting, confused, Ami looks at Hamako. "Do you think that guy was telling the truth?"

"About what?"

"Hiei and Trini.... what if...? What if?"

Holding up a hand, Hamako shakes her head. "It can't be true, he was just being weird. A lot of pretty boys are like that, remember Urika? He said that he caught the coach trying to steal glances at the boys in the showers after soccer practice."

Frowning, she scratches through her brown hair. "....Yeah."

Closing the magazine, she stuffs it into her school bag. Neither of them want to look at it anymore.

In Kochi at Crimson Hospital, two weeks later.

"Guess who got another basket of fruit." Announces Koenma entering the hospital room.

Yukina laughed glancing at the basket of delicious looking fruits. So far she's gotten fruit baskets, flower arrangements, keychains and a really cute shirt that has 'Fighter!' ironed on the front and a bunch of cards and some candy. Hiei's fans are very nice to give someone they don't know so many things.

"I guess no one told them I'm being fed from tubes." She laughs again.

"Can I have something, Yuki?" Asks Yusuke, his eye on a particularly sweet looking pear.

"Ahaha, of course Yusuke."

Yukina has been in the hospital for two weeks now and she seems as she always was but they know better. When Hiei's mother called him that day he thought for sure she had horrible news, the BIG horrible. She told him to come home and he did, finding his sister in the hospital was tough, and his mother told him that Yukina was having lunch and her throat constricted on her. She didn't know, she was upstairs cleaning the bathroom, Yukina was blue when she finally came downstairs. It was very terrifying! She acted in time with CPR, though, and the ambulance got there to do the rest. Hiei hasn't left her side since he got there unless for the bathroom, the others go out for food. It was hard hearing that it wouldn't be uncommon for his sister to start choking on bits of food regularly. But the fear has started to fade and now he's just happy to see his family again. Noizu played acoustic for Yukina, while singing, horribly insync with one another, but she only laughed and picked on their efforts of trying.

Their press manager couldn't wait to jump on the story the minute Hiei told Sawada to shove his own head up his ass if he thought he'd neglect his sister for some damned tour. The fans would just have to get over it. But the fans he so callously shunned turned out to be really sweet when they saw the news reports and such they started sending things to Yukina as though she were their sister and he would be sure to thank them all when they get back to Tokyo. The first time the reports showed up, though, Kuronue and Yusuke got a little naughty and socked one or two of them whilst telling them to 'fuck off' or 'go chase an ambulance'. But after awhile, you get used to it, and its not as though the hospital lets them in any further than a good many feet away. So anytime they watch the news its just a window or shots of them coming down into the main entrance. Sawada called many times and after the first week he finally gave up.

"You know, you guys don't have to stay here because of me." Says the sweet girl. "I'll be out of here in a couple of days, you should finish your tour before I become the most hated girl in Japan."

Shaking his head, Hiei says. "I'm not going anywhere, not until you leave this place."

"Besides," says Kuronue knocking back a couple grapes. "If we're nice now, you'll let us use you as an excuse for our next vacation package."

Mouth agape, she says with falsely hurt feelings. "That's horrible!" She smacks the male on the leg. "Artist of the year. I think they should have a recount."

Hiei's phone ceased their snickers. He picks up from his pockets, then blushes.

"There's a new face. Who is it, Hiei?" Asks Yukina with a knowing smile. She didn't know much about the red haired male that stole her brother's heart but she knew that he must be great to get such a strong reaction from her otherwise, unyielding to romantic feelings brother. He never once cried during the movies they've watched.

"I have to take this." He says walking out into the hall. When in the semi-privacy of the hallway, Hiei answers his phone. "Yeah?"

"Hiei, you have to get back here." Kurama says in a frantic voice.

Confused, he asks. "Why? I'm with Yukina, you know that."

Kurama sounded like he was gonna pass out with how whispy his breaths are coming out.

"Would you calm down and tell me what happened?"

"I think I may have said something stupid, and now there's this story about you in the tabloids." Says the male frantically.

Now Hiei really is confused. What could Kurama have said to make him end up in some dumb tabloid. Do people even read those? "What did you say?"

"Well, I was talking to these two girls in the park a week or so back and I think they might have told the press what I said to them."

"About?"

"It was harmless conversation, I wasn't serious. They had to know that."

"I know, I know. But what did they say?"

Taking a deep breath, he exhales, then says. "I said that with as many little lies the magazines tell, maybe you were lying about your relationship with Trini too... and that, you might not even be into women."

Hiei nearly laughed from that. "Is that all? Kurama, you have nothing to worry about, no one reads tabloids and if they do and somehow believe it then I'll just straighten everything out when I get back."

Kurama seemed to calm down a bit. "I hope everything is as easy as you make it sound.... I'm really sorry, Hiei. It honestly was nothing more than casual conversation."

"I know. And it will be handled, that's what we have a manager for. Good press and bad, he'll fix it." Says the vocalist. "I'll call him right after we hang up."

"Alright. I'll keep an ear open." Says the panicked red head.

"Okay. See you in a few days."

"Right."

"Good bye."

"Bye."

They hang up. Hiei snickers to his self. Kurama can be so cute sometimes. Hiei wondered for a moment, though, which tabloid and what exactly was said. Cracking open the door to his sisters room, he tells them he'll be right back then he leaves the hospital, baseball cap doing nothing to stop the onslaughter from knowing who he is, but once he was in the safety of the taxi he took off his cover and waited to find a newspaper stand.

...............

In the hospital cafeteria. The band is looking over the paper with curious minds.

"The relationship of Miss Trini Park and lead vocal of Noizu, Hiei Jaganshi, may be faking their romance in order to cover up the males actual 'Private Thoughts'. We have yet to speak with her but we can gaurantee that the singer probably has a few more stops to make in his return home to Kochi, if you know what we mean. Will Noizu be making their teen girls turn into teen boys?" Hiei shakes his head. "That's not so threatening, we can fix that." Says the male casually.

"How? You planning on marrying Trini?" Comments Yusuke.

Kuronue knew it. He knew from the very start that that woosh Kurama would be trouble. He can still remember when the male was introduced to them. He was so cool and collected under their interrogation. Someone like that can't be trusted. No way.

"I just don't see what the big deal is," Hiei continues to defend. "Besides, react to it and they'll have all they need to make it true rather than just a rumor."

"This why you can't fall in love," says Yusuke. "You play with them and move on."

Shaking the picture from his mind, Koenma says. "I'm gonna pretend I don't know whom and what you're talking about." Referring to the time when one, Kuwabara Kazuma, has come strolling out of their shared home with a stupid looking grin on his face after the pianist had gone shopping. "That's why you should stick to women, they're easier."

"But I'm not into women."

"You've never been out on a real date, so how would you know?" Asks Koenma.

Hiei figits. "Because I just feel it."

"Mhmm. I feel a weakness coming on." Says Kuronue full of attitude. "I remember once when you couldn't take your eyes off this cute looking guy who came to Ryokan looking for a job. If he had stayed no doubt he would have been your boom of the week. At least then you were still a nobody so who would care."

"Kurama isn't anything like that, we've managed to keep this thing a secret for a year now." Informs the singer getting a bit of attitude his self. "We can fix this- so I don't wanna hear another thing about it."

They all put their hands up in defense of Hiei's tone. Kuronue still planned to argue it out, though, ever since Kurama got into Hiei's system his best friend has been acting weird. For fuck's sake, he even joined them on tour to play a few of their new songs- which by the way never had violin music until this mystical Kurama came along, and since the fans showed so much love for the sound the creep snuck his way into nearly half the album! Kuronue can't stand the way the two of them are always laughing and sharing things then refuse to say what they were talking about when asked. Its sickening. None of the men in his life ever mattered over Hiei and they never would, he thought Hiei felt the same way but he guessed he was wrong.

Noizu ate their lunch in silence.

Hiei isn't afraid. He remembered the drill they went over with Sawada. If he reacts to this he's only putting truth to it. The others need to keep themselves in check or things really will get spoiled for them.

Back in Tokyo. A man is reading the tabloids with a cup of coffee in hand, his light sipping is haulted when he comes across the artical about that new singer Jaganshi Hiei. He remembers meeting him, he stayed at the hotel he works at. He was very nice. The bellboy wondered why the tabloids would wanna start such a nasty rumor about him, then. He scoffed a snicker.

"Anything for a story." He says absently.

Just then a crowd of teenagers goes by, two of them the same girls from the park. Their heads are titled towards another set of girls and they're whispering in hushed tones about the artical.

"I swear, the guy who plays violin told us the whole thing." Says Ami.

"Really? That cute new guy?!" Declares another girl. "Why would he say something like that?"

Another girl, with a braided ponytail turns her nose up. "Probably trying to deflect attention from Hiei so that girls will like him. He is a pretty boy after all, who's to say that he's gay because of it. The jerk might need the attention of females so finally someone will date him."

All the girls sound their thinking with a 'Hmm.'

Watching them leave, the man looks back at the artical then shakes his head. "Garbage." He sets it back on the wrack.
