Chapter 8 - Round 1.5: Love Drunk
Kuu yarned, completely and utterly bored. She looked at her silver toned watch; wishing that time would just speed up so that her Mathematics class could be over and done with. It was now five minutes to three. 'Just five more damn minutes…' She couldn't wait to be out of the stupid class. Mathematics was her most hated subject and she wanted out.
'Ah two more minutes,' a relieved smile crossed her lips as the minutes lessened.
Minutes soon turned into seconds Kuu heard something that suspiciously sounded like a rhythm. 'Eh? That beat sounds familiar.' The sound got louder and louder as the seconds ticked by and Kuu finally recognized what the sound was. She smiled knowingly and her eyes locked on her watch. 'Six, five, four, three, two…' Just as the bell rang the rhythm got louder and it was accompanied by three voices she knew oh so well.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kuu grabbed up her already packed knapsack and headed out the door with one destination in mind: the auditorium. Since her Mathematics class was near to it she reached there in record time. She managed to out maneuver the crowd and quickly pushed the large door before the crowd could catch on. When she saw Black Lotus on the stage she grinned and hurried in.
Kanda saw her and gave her a cocky grin of his own and then he started to sing.
~Drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs,
I don't need it, but I'll sell what you got,
Take the cash and I'll keep it,
Eight legs to the wall,
Hit the gas, kill them all!
And we crawl, and we crawl, and we crawl,
You be my detonator!~
He held the stand and took the mike from it, holding it up to his mouth.
~Love, gimme love, gimme love,
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart,
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box,
Put an X on the floor,
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more,
Shut up and sing it with me!~
Allen and Lavi both sang in their respective mikes, as Kanda tapped his feet and rocked his head to the beat.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda continued during their part. ~From mall security!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ To every enemy!~
Kanda paused again just like before and then sung. This time the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end.
~ We're on your property,
Standing in V formation!~
Lavi pounded against the drums and Allen's fingers strummed at his guitar while they continued with their part.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda gave a slight smirk when he saw that the auditorium was quickly being packed up with students who were raving and cheering them on. He held the mike close to his lips and sang. ~ Let's blow an artery!~
Just like before he paused. It was the same pattern. ~ Eat plastic surgery!~
Once again the pattern continued Allen and Lavi slowed singing at the end and Kanda continued with his lines.
~Keep your apology!
Give us more detonation!~
Lenalee nodded to the beat as she concentrated on making the beats around her match. Lavi and Allen continued playing their hearts out and Kanda lifted his head up taking the mike with it.
Allen and Lavi grinned as they sang the line together. ~More! Gimme more! Gimme more!~
Kanda brought his head back down and looked at the crowd with intense russet eyes.
~ Oh, let me tell you 'bout the sad man,
Shut up and let me see your jazz hands,
Remember when you were a madman?
Thought you was Batman,
And hit the party with a gas can,
Kiss me you animal!~
The same pattern from before continued for the chorus, but with different lines for the first four.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda continued during their part. ~ You run the company!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ Fuck like a Kennedy!~
Kanda smirked and just like before the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end.
~ I think we'd rather be,
Burning your information.~
Allen and Lavi seemed to be having fun as they sang their part as the smiles on their faces never left.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda held the mike close to his lips and sang. ~ Let's blow an artery!~
Just like before he paused. It was the same pattern. ~ Eat plastic surgery!~
Once again the pattern continued Allen and Lavi paused at the end and Kanda continued with his lines.
~Keep your apology!
Give us more detonation!~
Kanda paused and he returned the mike to its stand. Allen, Lavi and Lenalee's playing died down to a lower thrum and Kanda looked towards the audience with a confident yet cocky look on his face. The next few lines were spoken rather than sung.
~And right here,
Right now,
All the way in Battery City,
Little children,
Raise their open filthy palms,
Like tiny daggers up to heaven,
And all the juvee halls,
And Ritalin rats,
Ask the angels made from neon,
And fucking garbage,
Scream out "What will save us?"
And the sky opened up…~
Kanda closed his eyes as images of unknown origin ran through his mind. He opened them to stare at the crowd, drinking in the cheers he was receiving.
~Everybody wants to change the world.
Everybody wants to change the world.
But no one,
No one wants to die,
Wanna try, wanna try, wanna try,
Wanna try, wanna try, oh,
I'll be your detonator!~
He had his hands on either side of the mike as he rocked to the beat. Allen, Lavi and Lenalee continued playing. It was the same infectious beat that Kuu heard during the end of her Mathematics class. It was more of a guitar solo and Allen was thrumming to the rhythm. The beat seemed to stop for a second and the three - Allen, Kanda and Lavi - sang into their mikes.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Lavi's drumming got louder and Kanda paused while they continued. Kanda was moving to the beat as he got closer to ending the song. ~Make no apology!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ It's death or victory!~
Just like before the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end while Kanda continued.
~ On my authority,
Crash and burn,
Young and loaded.~
Allen and Lavi started back and Kanda grinned. ~ Drop like a bulletshell!~
The same pattern as before continued. ~ Dress like a sleeper cell!~
Kanda smirked; his expression was a mixture of seriousness and amusement as he sang the last few lines.
~I'd rather go to hell,
Than be in purgatory,
Cut my hair,
Gag and bore me,
Pull this pin,
Let this world explode…!~
With one last strum on the guitar and a few hits on the drum the song ended. The auditorium exploded in a wave of cheers and Kanda grinned smugly at the results. So to please the crowd even more, they went into another song.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
"So would you mind explaining to me why there was an unauthorized concert in the school's auditorium today?"
Allen chuckled nervously from his seat on the couch he sat with the rest of the band members. Lenalee was the only that looked apologetic as him. Lavi was grinning like mad while Kanda had a bored look on his face, not seeming to care that they were in trouble with the principal.
"Anyone care to explain it to me?" bespectacled dark eyes looked over all four who where gathered. When no one made a move to answer he turned to Allen. "Allen-kun?"
Allen inwardly groaned as he knew the principal would pick on him. "Well ah…we just wanted to see the students' reaction to our songs. That's all. We're sorry if we kinda got the crowd a bit out of control."
The principal adjusted his glasses. "A bit out of control you say," he clenched his fists. "There are over twenty students injured and over thirty fainted from overexcitement. Not to mention someone set off the fire alarm, calling not only the fire brigade but the police. And do I have to mention that you four got escorted to me by those police officers? It even almost caused a riot!" He slammed his fists against the table. "I'm forbidding the lot of you from ever using the auditorium again! As a matter of fact you're banned from playing anywhere near the school compound. The next time I hear anything of the sort happening again, its suspension! Do you hear me?"
"Yes sir," they all chorused.
"Now go on home and I hope I won't have any more trouble from you four."
They didn't wait to be told twice. The moment they were able to leave they took it and headed out the door. Outside Kuu and Alex were waiting on them to hear the verdict.
"So?" Alex prodded.
"What's the punishment?" Kuu continued, hoping the punishment wasn't anything too extreme.
Allen sighed. "No music at school and the auditorium is completely off limits."
"Whoa, harsh," Alex replied as the six made their way down the hall. "But it's all good right? You guys got the results you wanted."
A grin on Allen's face was the only reply.
"Sweet," Alex had a grin of his own on. "I say we head over to Tyki's. Wait they might be practicing…"
They didn't want to intrude if that was the case. Tyki's band performance was in three days so they would give the group the space they needed to practice, as they were given the same treatment by them when they were in the same boat.
"Ok so how about we head over to our usual spot and just hang," Lavi suggested. "We can practice a few more songs too."
Everyone liked that idea. They were now out the doors and headed towards where Allen parked, chatting about mundane things. They stopped in their tracks suddenly and Alex whistled when he saw the black stretched limo parked there.
"Check out that ride!" he yelled out loud in awe. "Who's it for?"
Kanda though was frozen in his tracks. "No fucking way…he's back already?"
Allen heard what he muttered and turned a questioning gaze to him. He saw a particular look on his face and immediately knew who he was talking about.
A chauffer came out and opened the door. First there was a leather shoes followed by a pant clad leg and when the person stepped out of the car Kanda felt himself wanting to just run and hide. But it was too late to hide or do anything. As standing before him was his father.
"Yuu," Kozato began. There was a small frown on his face. "Come with me."
Kanda was tempted to say "Fuck the hell off. I'm not going anywhere with you!" but he was in a shitload of trouble as it was. So he upped for saying: "You're back early, father," he had an unreadable expression on his face. "I wasn't expecting to see you until Friday."
"The contract was closed earlier than expected," Kozato replied with a dismissive wave. His voice was clipped. "Now hurry along we have some things to discuss."
'More like you're preparing to send me to a private school, che,' Kanda thought. He said his goodbyes to his friends and after he got his goodbye kiss from Allen he went to join his father's side. Their eyes briefly met and he could plainly see the disappointment in his father's sharp cobalt ones. There was something else, some other emotion, but he disregarded it.
The air was tense and it didn't settle, even after they entered the limo and it drove off. Allen let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Everything happened so fast.
"Sometimes I forget that Kanda's filthy rich," Lenalee said when the silence didn't relent. "He's from a different class than us, but I wonder why he always act the way he does."
"You wouldn't get it," Kuu said. Her head was down and her bangs fell over her eyes, hiding it from view.
Lenalee snorted at the tone Kuu used. "Yeah and you would?" she crossed her hands at her chest, looking down at the younger and shorter girl.
Kuu raised her head. Her eyes were blank and almost lifeless. "Yes I do. People like you who have love and not burdens wouldn't understand a thing," she walked off towards where Allen was parked and got in the passenger side.
"Geez what's her problem?" Lenalee huffed. She felt a bit annoyed at the way Kuu acted.
Allen took that moment to step in. "Just chill out Lena," he placed a hand on her right shoulder.
Lenalee blushed when she felt Allen's hand on her. "I am chilled," she tried to will the blush away. "It's just that I don't get her. Most time I don't get what she's thinking and half the time I think she hates me."
Allen shook his head and removed his hand. "Nah Kuu doesn't hate you…I think."
"Well she did that time when you were going after Allen," Lavi added thoughtfully.
"Yeah I remember that," Alex had the same look on his face as Lavi. "She would glare at you and tell you to stay away from her daddy."
The two chuckled as they recalled the first two years of high school. Back then Kuu was still in junior high but because she heard of the treat to her 'family' she made coming to the high school branch her main priority. She was there every lunch time and everyday when school ended. Then when she finally got into the high school, she stuck to Allen like glue on paper. She never let him leave her side for fear of Lenalee catching his eye. When Lenalee gave up that was a god sent relief and even then she didn't lower her guard.
"I used to think she was just a paranoid brat," Lenalee had a frown on her face. "I didn't get why she called you two her parents though."
Allen's eyes seemed to dull. "Because we're the only parents she knows," he replied. "You know of the actress Seiko Kushinawa and her husband the business tycoon Zeik Kushinawa? They're her real parents."
Lenalee's eyes widened. "No way! You serious?" she saw that she was the only one who looked surprised. "Wait you two knew already?" she face-palmed. "Of course you two would know."
Lavi shrugged. "After all we've known her for along time now."
"Well if she has such awesome and rich parents why would she stick to you two?" Lenalee turned her inquisitive gaze to Allen. There were so many questions she wanted to ask.
"Her parents don't deserve such praises," Allen replied. He was suddenly angry. "I'm glad that they gave birth to Kuu but she's not their daughter. Kanda and I consider her as ours. We care about her more than they ever did!" He sighed and clenched his fists, catching himself before he could let the anger he felt for Kuu's real parents on her.
"What does that mean?" Lenalee wanted to know more and with the expressions on everyone's face she was itching to know more, but Allen didn't look as if he would answer.
"My real parents didn't want me."
It was Kuu who answered. She was standing by the car, seemingly cooled off.
"What?" Lenalee didn't think she heard right.
"You heard right. I never met them because they were too busy with their own lives to acknowledge me," Kuu continued with a shrug. "When I was born my mother never held me. She just headed back to the set of the stupid movie she was staring in. My father wasn't any different. He wasn't even at the hospital when I was born." Her eyes were moist but no tears were present. "I was taken care of by nannies and I was raised by my dad and papa, even though they were kids themselves. They're the only ones I consider as my parents that's why I won't let anyone come between them, because if it wasn't for them I would've been alone."
Allen joined Kuu's side, taking her hand and giving it a squeeze as if reassuring her that she would never be alone. She squeezed back, her way of telling him that she was alright.
"I'm sorry I didn't know…" deep plum eyes were hazy with slight regret. "But your parents, don't they keep in touch with you?"
"If you're asking if they send me cash now and then, they do every month but I don't use it. I don't care about how much money they send me. You can't buy affection with money. I would have been happy if they were there," she had a small smile on her face now. "But I don't care about that anymore as I already have two great parents who care a lot about me."
"You three were inseparable back then, still are," Lavi said with a smile. "I remember trying to take Yuu's attention from Allen. Kuu was teething then and boy did I get a bite."
"Wait weren't you around four years old then?" Lenalee asked shocked.
"Yeah so?" Lavi replied. He grinned. "You should have seen back Yuu then. He was every pedophile's wet dream. I was smitten on spot."
Allen snorted. "You were the most troublesome person to get rid of."
Lavi ran over to hug Allen. "But you still love me~" he grinned.
"Yeah yeah sure, get off me," Allen complained as he tried to pry Lavi off him. He heard a chuckle beside him and that chuckle soon broke out into a full blown laugh. A smile crossed his face when he saw Kuu laughing.
"You guys are still the same," she said once her laughter died down. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. "I'm so glad." She said with a watery smile.
The look made Allen's heart melt. He rested his hand on her shoulder and patted her on her head with his other one. "Let's head home and wait for Kanda to meet with us. I'm sure he'll be on his way after he's done with his dad."
"Un!"
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
Unfortunately Kanda didn't show up later that day. Also he didn't attend school for the next three days. It was now Saturday and everyone was over Tyki's getting ready to head out to the club.
"I'm fucking worried," Allen was sitting on the dark couch in the entertainment room. His head was in his hands. He wore a conservative black leather outfit that was on the punk side. "I haven't heard from Kanda since Tuesday. Something is wrong. I just know it."
Lavi was beside him channel surfing. He wore his usual combination of cargo pants and marina with various accessories. "Dude chillax, I'm sure Yuu has his reasons." He settled on a funny cartoon but then after a while he changed the channel again.
"I can't help but worry," Allen whined. He raised his head, turning his worried gaze to Lavi. "Maybe something happened with his dad."
"Could be," Tyki added from the doorway. He had on a tight leather button up shirt with matching pants. "Hey, time to go."
Allen clenched his fists. He didn't know if he could focus on the competition with Kanda missing. 'What if he doesn't come back by the time for our performance? Shit, screw the performance! What if he never comes back?'
"Dad, are you ok?" Kuu asked. She was standing before him, wearing a punk styled pink leather dress. Her big amethyst eyes were filled with worry as they locked with Allen.
Allen shook his head and focused on Kuu's form. "I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you." He got up to join the others at the door. "Yeah lets head on out. Today is Noah Family's first live performance and you'll need all the luck you can get."
"Say what now?" Road snorted. She wore a similar outfit as Kuu. "Like we need luck."
"Yeah, we'll top it tonight no prob," Debitto said with a smug smirk. His twin who wore matching leather outfit nodded vigorously.
Alex grinned. "Well I'm rooting for my Hannah-baby too, ya kno'," his crimson eyes was sparkling and he wrapped his arms around his red leather clad body, apparently shivering. "She has the voice of an angel!"
Lenalee snorted. "And the personality of a devil." She was also in leather material type clothing. And it seemed to be the theme for them.
"Road-darling~! Tyki-pyon~!"
Tyki cringed at the annoying word that was attached to his name. He tried to get everyone to hurry up so that they could leave but it was too late. Their path way was blocked by a man dressed hotly in a partially revealing black and white leather outfit. There was a bright grin on his face when he spotted Tyki and Road.
"There you two are," the man's golden eyes were sparkling brightly.
"Geez Cyril, what the fuck are you wearing?" Tyki's own golden eyes were wide with shock. He couldn't believe that his elder brother was wearing such an outfit. It made him look like a sadistic Dom.
Cyril did a 360 degrees turn, showing off his revealing leather and buckle outfit that clung to him like a second skin. "Like it?"
"Hell no!" Tyki felt embarrassed just looking at him. "Shouldn't you look your age?" He turned away. "And where are you planning to go dressing like that?" Even though he asked; he dreaded the response.
"My precious daughter and brother along with my two dear nephews are performing today!" Cyril's eyes glistened. "How can I miss that?"
Tyki was about to say "don't you dare show up!" but Allen cut him off before he could say anything.
"Well I knew Cyril would be coming," he said with a shrug. "It's no problem right?"
"Yeah there's a problem," Road chimed in. "I'll be embarrassed to death."
Cyril ran over to Road and grabbed her in a bear hug she couldn't escape. "My daring Road is embarrassed of her father!" he sobbed.
"Father, come on let go," Road struggled in his grasp. "You're messing up my outfit!"
Cyril reluctantly released Road, giving her a look that made her felt as if she kicked a puppy. Road sighed and turned away as she couldn't bear to look at the expression anymore.
"Fine," she muttered. "Father can come." Cyril was about to hug her again but she raised her hand. "But no hugging me in public! Also don't embarrass us, ok?"
It was hard to not hug Road but he controlled himself. He nodded his head in agreement.
Allen smiled a bit as he watched the interaction between the Road and her father. "So are we going or not?" he voiced with a grin. "Don't wanna be late right?"
Everyone agreed and headed out the room. Just then Allen's phone rang. He took it out and his eyes widened a bit when he saw the caller id. 'Kanda!' He put it to his ears immediately. There was so much on his mind to ask but right now he just wanted to see him.
"Are you ok?" he asked just as he answered. "I haven't heard from you for three days now."
"Come pick me up," was all Kanda said. For some reason his voice sounded strained.
"Are you home? I'll head there right away," Allen trailed behind the rest of the guys.
"I'm not home," Kanda replied. But the way he said the word 'home' made it clear to Allen that he was pissed. "I'm at the airport."
"Airport?" 'Did Kanda fly out in those three days?'
"Yeah, hurry I don't want to miss their performance," and with that Kanda hung up.
"Sure thing," Allen stuffed his phone in his front pocket and ran to catch up with everyone. "Guys, sorry can you go on without me? I'll meet you there."
Tyki turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "A problem came up?"
"Nah, just going to pick up Kanda," Allen replied as he dashed past everyone and headed to his pick up. "It'll take awhile cause he's at the airport."
"Ah I see," Tyki shrugged. "Seems like we're going to need another driver."
"Sorry Tyki," Allen poked his head from the open window. "I'll-"
"It's no prob, Cyril will drive," Tyki replied interrupting him. "Go on, Kanda will be pissed if you're late."
Allen nodded and started his vehicle. He shifted the gear to drive and pulled out from the drive way. "See you guys there!" he yelled before he drove off.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
If he didn't have enough self control he would have crashed already. It was hard to keep his eyes on the road and keep his cool when Kanda was practically blowing him as he drove. 'Fuck…I'm gonna cum…'
"Kanda…ngh…dammit…" Allen's grip on the steering wheel tightened and his mind went blank when Kanda took him all the way down the back of his throat and sucked.
Kanda ran his tongue over the head, licking and nipping. He took all he could down his throat once more and pulled back up, only to repeat the process. Allen was on the brink of his orgasm and he couldn't hold it back. 'Shit, how the hell did things turn out this way?' When he picked up Kanda it was practically normal, that was until Kanda got a call. He didn't know who it was but Kanda didn't answer. His facial expression soured even more and he tossed the phone to the backseat. That was when he made to attack Allen.
Allen tried to suppress a moan as Kanda's talented tongue and mouth rained a relentless attack on his member. He wouldn't hold out long by the looks of it. Kanda practically swallowed him, rubbing his nose in the thick brown curls at the base of his cock. And that was it for Allen. He exploded in Kanda's mouth and Kanda swallowed everything Allen had to offer without gagging. He pulled back after he sucked Allen dry, licking his swollen cherry lips. There was a smirk on his face and an obvious budge in his pants.
"Fuck…Kanda, what the hell?" Allen tried to regain his lost breath. He pulled over off the road to a dark grassy area. "What's gotten into you?"
Kanda seemed to pout. "What? Didn't like it?"
"Yeah I loved it. It was fucking awesome but I could've crashed," Allen sighed as he rested his head on the steering wheel.
"But you didn't," Kanda's voice was a low seductive purr. "Come on, let's continue."
Before Allen was aware of anything, Kanda lowered his seat and straddled his hips.
"Whoa, Kanda," Allen tried to sit up but Kanda pushed him back down.
"Are you going to leave me like this?" Kanda leaned forward and rubbed his clothed erection on Allen's lower abdomen. He shivered at the contact. His breath caressed Allen's right ear and he took the lobe in his mouth, sucking on the sliver knob. "I want to feel you."
Allen could feel his self control slipping away bit by bit. 'Oh damn, I'm hard again…'
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
'We're so fucking late,' Allen chanted in his head as he and Kanda weaved their way through the massive crowd. Though he kept thinking that, his mind couldn't help straying to what happened a few minutes ago. Of him fucking Kanda into the front seat of his pick up truck. The memory was fresh, no duh, since it happened only a few minutes ago. He shook his head, ridding the perverted thoughts. Right now he should be focusing on the competition.
It seemed that M.M had started already. They missed the first band's performance but were in time to catch the second band on the end of their first song.
"There are the guys," Allen grabbed on to Kanda's hand and pulled him along towards the direction where Kuu, Lavi, Alex, Cyril and Lenalee were standing.
The band on stage was getting a good forward and it spiked Allen's curiosity. He raised his head to get a look of the band members and was surprised to see that it was made up of the four people they met last Sunday: Deamon, Devera, Sei and Ryou.
"No way, Deamon's group is competition too?" Allen said once they finally made it to where their friends stood.
"Eh? Allen, Yuu, took you guys long enough," Lavi had to yell over the sound of the band playing. "You missed Bone Graveyard's performance. It was nothing big if you ask me. Right now Nocturne's rocking the stage. They're sick, eh?"
"Sure are," Allen replied.
On the stage Deamon had his eyes closed as he practically purred into the microphone. His twin sister Devera was beside him with her guitar in hand. Sei was to the back on the drums and Ryou was to Deamon's left on the keyboard. They were now starting their second song.
~ Heartbreak... Heart heart heartbreak...~
Deamon's strong voice seemed to echo. He held the mike and opened his eyes. When he spotted Black Lotus in the crowd he smirked. Allen returned his smirk with one of his own, challenging him to prove that they were a worthy competition and that was what Deamon intended.
~ Girl don't say you love me when you're out the door.~
He nodded his head to the beat while Sei and Ryou whispered their lines. ~ Woah yeah...~
Deamon swayed as he continued.
~ Cause I know things are different than they were before.~
Sei and Ryou chimed in with: ~ Woah oh oh yeah...~
A smile crossed Deamon's lips as he sung his lines.
~ You kill me with your kiss, it's so hard to resist you,
and when you look me in the eyes tonight.
And say we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak
and I don't ever ever wanna hear you say
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving…~
Deamon lowered his head, looking into the crowd. He moved his arms and body as he charmed them.
~ You said we'd stick it out through the thick and thin.~
Sei and Ryou came in with: ~ Woah yeah...~
~ But when the walls came down you wouldn't let me in.~
Just like before the two sang their lines. ~ Woah oh oh yeah...~
Deamon had a serious yet playful expression on his face as he regarded the crowd.
~We've been through it all,
My back's against the wall,
It's crashing down on me tonight.
And we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
and I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak,
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.~
The rhythm mellowed a bit and the sound of Devera's guitar seemed to be more dominant.
~ I'm sick and tired of this whole situation.
Here comes another fight.
Pin me down with the same conversation.
No, don't say you love me tonight.~
Sei and Ryou seemed to stop playing and Devera went into a guitar solo. Her experienced fingers strummed again the string, bringing alive a catchy melody. Despite the blank look on her face she seemed to be having fun. Deamon smiled at his sister as he purred his line.
~ Heartbreak...~
The two joined back in and Deamon got ready to end the song.
~ And we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
And I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak,
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
We're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
And I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.~
The crowd cheered louder and even Allen and the others found themselves howling some praises to the band. Kanda had a blank look on his face but he was obviously impressed by the way Deamon's voice sounded. He thought of them as good competition for them, Tyki and Hannah.
"Thank you all!" Deamon yelled to the crowd.
Their group exited the stage and Reever came back on along with Tyki, Road and Jasdebi who took their places on stage. "That was Nocturne! Well done guys!" he gave two thumbs up. "Now for the number three in Group B, I give you, Noah Family!"
It was Allen's group turn to go wild. They yelled and cheered but not as much as Lavi, Kuu and Cyril. Their cheers practically outshone everyone else's.
"How're you guys feeling tonight?" Tyki's voice was silky and smooth and it caused the cheering to increase. He chuckled lightly and the deep baritone of it had most of them squealing. "I'm feeling drunk on love and only one person could make me feel this way."
In the crowd Lavi's face was blood red. Kuu and Alex grinned at the bold confession as they teased him.
"All my songs are written with him in mind," Tyki continued with a sultry smile. He had his guitar in his hands. "I'm sure he'll enjoy the performance. But I hope you guys will too!"
The cheers increased. Tyki and Debitto started off first, strumming on their fingers on their respected guitars and creating a low mellow tune. Jasdero and Road joined in and Tyki began to sing.
~ This time, this place,
Misused, mistakes,
Too long, too late,
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance,
Just one breath,
Just in case there's just one left,
'Cause you know, you know, you know…~
He looked right at Lavi as he continued singing. It was like he was confessing all over again. Jasdero's hits on the drum became more pronounced.
~ That I love you,
I have loved you all along,
And I miss you,
Been far away for far too long,
I keep dreaming, you'll be with me,
And you'll never go,
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore…~
Tyki paused and the beat mellowed down with Tyki and Debitto's guitars being the most dominant sounds. He closed his eyes for a bit and then opened them, drinking in the image of a blushing redhead. A small smile tugged his lips and he leaned closer, purring into the microphone.
~ On my knees, I'll ask,
Last chance for one last dance,
'Cause with you I'd withstand,
All of hell to hold your hand,
I'd give it all,
I'd give for us,
Give anything but I won't give up,
'Cause you know, you know, you know…~
The rhythm grew louder as did the drums beats. Tyki poured his heart out in his performance, showing the world how much he loved his redhead.
~ That I love you,
I have loved you all along,
And I miss you,
Been far away for far too long,
I keep dreaming you'll be with me,
And you'll never go,
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore.~
Jasdero's hits on the drum mellowed down and so did the rhythm. Tyki closed his eyes once more and his voice seemed to echo.
~So far away (So far away),
Been far away for far too long,
So far away (So far away),
Been far away for far too long,
But you know, you know, you know…~
He opened his eyes, staring out at the crowd but only focusing on Lavi. To him he was only performing for Lavi and due to that it gave his performance the sort of lovesick feeling.
~ I wanted,
I wanted you to stay,
'Cause I needed,
I need to hear you say,
That I love you (that I love you),
I have loved you all along,
And I forgive you (and I forgive you),
For being away for far too long.
So keep breathing,
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore,
Believe it,
Hold on to me and, never let me go.
Keep breathing,
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore,
Believe it,
Hold on to me and, never let me go.~
His voice lowered and he practically purred in the mike.
~Keep breathing,
Hold on to me and, never let me go…
Keep breathing,
Hold on to me and, never let me go…~
With one last strum and a few hits on the drum the song ended. The cheers that erupted were deafening. Everyone was having a field day over the soft smooth voice Tyki had. Lavi was beet red and he didn't know if he could handle another of Tyki's love confession songs.
"You guys liked that eh?" Tyki smirked bit when the cheers only got louder. He saw the embarrassed look on Lavi's face but that only encouraged him. "Glad to know. This next one is something I've been tinkering with for awhile. It's a bit last minute but let's see if how it turns out, ne?"
Debitto and Road began playing immediately and Tyki started singing.
~ Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
Tired of living like a blind man,
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling,
And this is how you remind me…~
Jasdero joined in, pounding on the drums in a steady beat. When he got to the chorus those hits sped up and were louder.
~This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am.
It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking,
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no…~
Tyki had his hands on both sides of the mike as he continued. He tapped his feet to the beat.
~It's not like you didn't know that,
I said I love you and I swear I still do,
And it must have been so bad,
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you.
And this is how, you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how, you remind me,
Of what I really am.~
The rhythm sped up and Jasdero's drums became louder.
~ It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking,
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…~
Everything went really low, with the most dominant sounds being Road's keyboard and Debitto's guitar. Tyki's deep smooth voice rang over the rhythm.
~Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
And this is how you remind me,
This is how you remind me.~
Jasdero joined in, creating a steady beat with his drums.
~This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am…~
The beat sped up even more and Jasdero pounded away on his drums. Tyki took the mike out of the stand and paced across the stage as he sung.
~ It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking…!~
He got to his knees and this made the crowd's cheers increased.
~And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet…~
Tyki lowered his head as he purred the last line of the song. The crowd was wild with their cheers.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
"Now for the last group, give it up for the feisty all girl band; Tempest!"
"What's up guys?" Hannah practically screamed out into the mike. She wore a tight fitting black skirt and an even tighter corset with thigh length boots. "You guys ready to rock?"
She jumped up and the most of the males in the crowd cooed and whistled. Alex was at the front screaming and cheering his heart out.
Diane was to her right with her guitar. Christoy was to her left on her guitar. Nikola was to the back on the drums and lastly Mellonie was behind Christoy on the keyboard.
Hannah turned back to face her girls. "Come on guys lets show em' what we've got!"
Nikola started and everyone joined in right away. Hannah closed her eyes as she sang.
~ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The rhythm seemed to die down but then it started up again, with the dominant beat being Nikola's drums. Hannah opened her eyes and a smirk tugged her lips. She held the mike stand as she continued singing.
~I wanna lock you up in my closet, when no one's around.
I wanna put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed.
I wanna drive you into the corner, and kiss you without a sound.
I wanna stay this way forever, I'll say it loud.
Now you're in, and you can't get out…~
Diane and Christoy joined in, strumming their fingers against the strings. Mellonie kept the base at the accepted tone while Hannah had her hands out to the crowd as she rocked.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The drum beats returned to a steady beat and Hannah too the mike from its stand. She paced around the stage, looking into the crowd while she sang.
~ I can make you feel all better, just take it in.
And I can show you all the places, you've never been.
And I can make you say everything, that you've never said.
And I will let you do anything, again and again.
Now you're in, and you can't get out…~
Mellonie ran her hands across the keys while the other put increased their output. Hannah was at the center of the stage. She raised the mike to her lips.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The beat mellowed down and Hannah lowered her head, singing softly into the mike.
~ Kiss me gently,
Always I know,
Hold me, love me,
Don't ever go…
Ooh, yeah yeah…~
Alex almost jumped on the stage yelling an 'I'll kiss you and love you!' but Lavi and Allen held him back. Hannah smirked and the beat soared. Her girl's voices echoed with hers at certain parts.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me (you're so good to me),
You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
She gave a longing look to the crowd as she purred the last line. ~ You're so good…~
When the song ended the crowd erupted into praises and Alex went wild. Allen, Lavi and Kuu had to get some help from Cyril and Lenalee just to restrain him.
"Loving the response!" Hannah yelled out in the mike. "Come on show me your love!" The crowd's cheers got louder and Alex seemed to struggle more. "Awesome~"
Nikola started playing and the others joined in. Hannah rocked her head to the beat as she moved about the stage. She brought the mikes to her lips and sang.
~ I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.
I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.~
She grinned, putting up the peace sign in a form of a victory. Nikola hits on the drum got louder and Hannah walked forward, dancing to the beat.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag.
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.~
Her smile widened and she began stalking the stage once more, turning her attention to her girls. She turned back to face the crowd and held her index finger up, swishing it from side to side, as if reprimanding the crowd.
~ Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!~
She backed back and shook her head to the beat.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag.
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good...~
The beat mellowed down with Nikola's drums being the most dominant sound. Hannah stopped in the center of the stage with the mike in her hands. Her voice was soft as she began singing but when she reached the end her voice regain its strength.
~ I watched his wildest dreams come true,
Not one of them involving you,
Just watch my wildest dreams come true,
Not one of them involving...~
Diane and Christoy thrummed away on their guitars and Nikola pounded away on her drums. Mellonie kept the beat together as Hannah rocked and danced about on the stage. She showed off her feisty girl power charisma as she moved about. The rhythm seemed to mellow out as Hannah sung the first two lines but it regained its rage as she continued.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag,
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...~
Hannah held the note and she raised her head, taking the mike to her lips. ~It just feels so good.~
With a few last hits on the drum the song ended.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
It was the intermission before Reever would announce the night's participants for the next round and Allen found himself in one of the VIP rooms with the members of his band, Noah Family, Tempest, Nocturne, Kuu, Alex and Cyril. They were all congratulating each other and hoping for the best when the results were out.
"So Allen who do you think took the night?" Deamon asked. He was sitting in one of the couches with Devera by his side.
Allen had his arms crossed over his chest as he pondered. "That's a tough one," he answered in all honesty. "All you guys rocked it tonight."
"No way, my darling Road and Tyki took the win tonight!" Cyril said with a pout.
"Well I say my Hannah-baby took it," Alex yelled, trying to get over to where Hannah sat but was blocked by her girls. They were tough body guards to crack.
Deamon chuckled. "Sounds like you three got some die hard fans."
"More like crazed fans," Allen said with a shake of his head. He wrapped his hands around Kanda's waist and pulled him closer. "Well there's only one person I'm crazy for."
"I see that," Deamon said with a grin.
The door was pushed open and there was a brief explosion of music before it went silent when the door closed. Everyone turned their attention to the door, seeing a cocky looking Kira. There were three other persons with him. Allen's cousin Wisely, the person Allen hated like fuck Valarn Heat and a blonde lady with blue eyes hidden by a pair of glasses.
"Sup peeps?" his smirk became sultrier as his emerald orbs locked on Kanda.
"Well lookie here," Lavi had an annoyed look on his face. "The members of Akuma seemed to be crashing our convo."
"Sorry about that," Wisely looked apologetic. "Lulu Bell and I couldn't stop those two."
Lulu Bell - the blonde lady - just looked bored, seemingly more interested in fixing her make up.
"Well Wisely you can stay, and I'm sure Lulu Bell wouldn't mind staying too," Allen said with a bright smile on his face. He still had the smile on when he turned to address Kira and Heat. "I don't give a shit to what Kira does, but Heat, get the fuck out."
"Ooh still a bitter little fucker," Heat had a shit eating grin on. "Shut the fuck up. You can't kick me out. It's not like you own the place. " He had a look in his face that was just daring Allen to throw him out.
Allen got up intending to do just that. "Wanna bet you little shit."
Heat walked closer to meet Allen. "Yeah let's see you make me leave, fucking brat."
Things were getting heated up as Heat and Allen made their way to each other. They were this close to starting a bloodbath but Wisely held on to Heat while Tyki, Lavi and Alex had to pull Allen back.
"Oi Wisely let go," Heat struggled from his grasp. "Let me teach this fucking brat a lesson."
"You're gonna teach me a lesson? Like fuck you are," Allen showed him his middle finger as Tyki was pulling him back. "I'd wipe the fucking floor with you, asshole."
"Why you cocky fucker," Heat hissed, struggling even more. "Wisely let me the fuck go!"
"No damn it!" Wisely growled. He was getting really pissed off. "Control your fucking temper. I'm not letting you lay a hand on my little cuz." He pushed Heat back into Kira's hands and then turned to face Allen. "And Allen chill the fuck out! God, what's up with you two?"
"I fucking hate that guy!" Allen and Heat seemed to roar at the same time.
Kuu was by Allen's side with her hand on his shoulder. "Dad…"
Allen seemed to calm down when Kuu touched him. He pulled away from Tyki, Lavi and Alex's hold, turning to his little girl.
"Sorry you had to see me like that," he said with an apologetic smile.
Kuu shook her head and turned to glare at Heat. "You should've kicked that loser's ass. I hate him too."
Allen grinned and then he broke out in a laugh. He forgot the he and Kuu practically hated the same guys. The guys who always tried to steal Kanda away from them. Kuu smile when she saw that the tense look was leaving her dad's shoulders.
"The results are being read," Lulu Bell said as she powdered her nose. The way she said it was so mundane. It was almost like she was asking about the weather.
Everyone turned to her in disbelief but she didn't notice the looks as she was too focused on her reflection. Heat shrugged off Kira's hands and he turned to leave. Kira and Lulu Bell were right after him and then Wisely, after he apologized once more for the problems his friends caused.
"Well that's what I call entertainment," Deamon gave a whistle. "I'm sure you guys would've killed each other."
"Nah, Allen would've beaten him to a bloody pulp," Lavi said with a sure grin. "Have you seen Allen fight? He's like the fucking terminator! One hit from his fists and you're out cold."
All the others seem to agree.
"Yeah that was how we met," Alex rubbed his right shoulder as he remembered the pain it went through. "I challenged him to a fight back in the fourth grade. He completely demolished me."
He was a bit of a tough guy back then and had challenged Allen to a match because he heard that he never lost a fight. Allen didn't fight him right off the bat and he continued to chase after him, hounding him for a fight. During his persistence he accidently pushed Kuu down who started crying. She was only in the second grade then. The next thing you knew; he woke in the infirmary. Since then he was attached to Allen, wanting to be his pupil.
Allen chuckled a bit. "Come on I'm not that great."
"Sure sure," Hannah waved her hand in a dismissive way. "So come on. Let's see who's in and who's not."
That grabbed everyone's attention. They headed out the room towards where Reever was on stage. The music dimmed to a low thrum and the lights focused on Reever.
"Okay guys it's time for the verdict!" he paused as he let the crowd cheer. "The bands that'll be advancing to the next round are…" he brought the paper up. "First off we have Noah Family!"
Kuu and Road hugged each other as they jumped up and down. The twins joined them. Cyril made to hug Tyki but Lavi beat him to it and Allen clapped, congratulating them. So did the other two groups.
"Next up is Nocturne!"
Sei yelled and Ryou gave a bright smile. The two of them high fived while Deamon gave Devera a deep kiss.
"Followed closely by Tempest!"
Nikola held her hands up as she yelled. Kuu and Road who were still jumping up and down got pulled into a tight squeeze by the members of Tempest. Hannah though had a smug look on her face. As if she knew that they would've gone to the next round.
Reever continued with his announcement but none of them seemed to pay attention as they heard the results they wanted to hear. Right now it was time for celebrations. The bands who made it were, Noah Family, Nocturne, Tempest, Danger Zone and Crescent Moonbay. Unfortunately Bone Graveyard didn't make it.
"So where'll be the after party?" Lavi asked as he knew there would be one.
"Why not chill out here for awhile?" Sei recommended. "Then we can go club hopping till we're either passed out or pissed drunk."
Allen seemed to like that idea. He turned to Kanda wanting to hear his views but he saw him looking at his cell phone, which was ringing. This time he caught the name on the caller id. 'Father.'
"Kanda?" he turned to him, resting his hands on his shoulders. "You'll need a ride home huh?"
Kanda shut his phone off and stuffed it back into the pocket of his leather jacket. "No, I'm crashing at your place tonight."
"Are you sure?" Allen's asked. He wanted to spend more time with Kanda but he didn't want him to get into trouble for it. "Won't you-"
"You want me there or not?" Kanda snapped interrupting him.
"Yes I want you!" Allen yelled immediately. "I mean I want you there…"
"Good," a small seductive smirk tugged Kanda's lips and he purred. "Now dance with me."
Allen didn't need to be asked twice. He pulled Kanda towards the dance floor and they clung to each other, rocking to the infectious beat. Kanda allowed himself to block out all his problems. Right now all that mattered was have fun with the love of his life. He'd deal with all the crap his father had in store for him when his mind was clearer. So right now, he'd forget everything but the feeling of Allen's body so close to his.

Chapter 8 - Round 1.5: Love Drunk
Kuu yarned, completely and utterly bored. She looked at her silver toned watch; wishing that time would just speed up so that her Mathematics class could be over and done with. It was now five minutes to three. 'Just five more damn minutes…' She couldn't wait to be out of the stupid class. Mathematics was her most hated subject and she wanted out.
'Ah two more minutes,' a relieved smile crossed her lips as the minutes lessened.
Minutes soon turned into seconds Kuu heard something that suspiciously sounded like a rhythm. 'Eh? That beat sounds familiar.' The sound got louder and louder as the seconds ticked by and Kuu finally recognized what the sound was. She smiled knowingly and her eyes locked on her watch. 'Six, five, four, three, two…' Just as the bell rang the rhythm got louder and it was accompanied by three voices she knew oh so well.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kuu grabbed up her already packed knapsack and headed out the door with one destination in mind: the auditorium. Since her Mathematics class was near to it she reached there in record time. She managed to out maneuver the crowd and quickly pushed the large door before the crowd could catch on. When she saw Black Lotus on the stage she grinned and hurried in.
Kanda saw her and gave her a cocky grin of his own and then he started to sing.
~Drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs,
I don't need it, but I'll sell what you got,
Take the cash and I'll keep it,
Eight legs to the wall,
Hit the gas, kill them all!
And we crawl, and we crawl, and we crawl,
You be my detonator!~
He held the stand and took the mike from it, holding it up to his mouth.
~Love, gimme love, gimme love,
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart,
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box,
Put an X on the floor,
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more,
Shut up and sing it with me!~
Allen and Lavi both sang in their respective mikes, as Kanda tapped his feet and rocked his head to the beat.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda continued during their part. ~From mall security!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ To every enemy!~
Kanda paused again just like before and then sung. This time the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end.
~ We're on your property,
Standing in V formation!~
Lavi pounded against the drums and Allen's fingers strummed at his guitar while they continued with their part.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda gave a slight smirk when he saw that the auditorium was quickly being packed up with students who were raving and cheering them on. He held the mike close to his lips and sang. ~ Let's blow an artery!~
Just like before he paused. It was the same pattern. ~ Eat plastic surgery!~
Once again the pattern continued Allen and Lavi slowed singing at the end and Kanda continued with his lines.
~Keep your apology!
Give us more detonation!~
Lenalee nodded to the beat as she concentrated on making the beats around her match. Lavi and Allen continued playing their hearts out and Kanda lifted his head up taking the mike with it.
Allen and Lavi grinned as they sang the line together. ~More! Gimme more! Gimme more!~
Kanda brought his head back down and looked at the crowd with intense russet eyes.
~ Oh, let me tell you 'bout the sad man,
Shut up and let me see your jazz hands,
Remember when you were a madman?
Thought you was Batman,
And hit the party with a gas can,
Kiss me you animal!~
The same pattern from before continued for the chorus, but with different lines for the first four.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda continued during their part. ~ You run the company!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ Fuck like a Kennedy!~
Kanda smirked and just like before the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end.
~ I think we'd rather be,
Burning your information.~
Allen and Lavi seemed to be having fun as they sang their part as the smiles on their faces never left.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Kanda held the mike close to his lips and sang. ~ Let's blow an artery!~
Just like before he paused. It was the same pattern. ~ Eat plastic surgery!~
Once again the pattern continued Allen and Lavi paused at the end and Kanda continued with his lines.
~Keep your apology!
Give us more detonation!~
Kanda paused and he returned the mike to its stand. Allen, Lavi and Lenalee's playing died down to a lower thrum and Kanda looked towards the audience with a confident yet cocky look on his face. The next few lines were spoken rather than sung.
~And right here,
Right now,
All the way in Battery City,
Little children,
Raise their open filthy palms,
Like tiny daggers up to heaven,
And all the juvee halls,
And Ritalin rats,
Ask the angels made from neon,
And fucking garbage,
Scream out "What will save us?"
And the sky opened up…~
Kanda closed his eyes as images of unknown origin ran through his mind. He opened them to stare at the crowd, drinking in the cheers he was receiving.
~Everybody wants to change the world.
Everybody wants to change the world.
But no one,
No one wants to die,
Wanna try, wanna try, wanna try,
Wanna try, wanna try, oh,
I'll be your detonator!~
He had his hands on either side of the mike as he rocked to the beat. Allen, Lavi and Lenalee continued playing. It was the same infectious beat that Kuu heard during the end of her Mathematics class. It was more of a guitar solo and Allen was thrumming to the rhythm. The beat seemed to stop for a second and the three - Allen, Kanda and Lavi - sang into their mikes.
~ Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…~
Lavi's drumming got louder and Kanda paused while they continued. Kanda was moving to the beat as he got closer to ending the song. ~Make no apology!~
He paused as Allen and Lavi continued singing 'Na Na Na' and then came in with: ~ It's death or victory!~
Just like before the "Na Na Na' died down a bit at the end while Kanda continued.
~ On my authority,
Crash and burn,
Young and loaded.~
Allen and Lavi started back and Kanda grinned. ~ Drop like a bulletshell!~
The same pattern as before continued. ~ Dress like a sleeper cell!~
Kanda smirked; his expression was a mixture of seriousness and amusement as he sang the last few lines.
~I'd rather go to hell,
Than be in purgatory,
Cut my hair,
Gag and bore me,
Pull this pin,
Let this world explode…!~
With one last strum on the guitar and a few hits on the drum the song ended. The auditorium exploded in a wave of cheers and Kanda grinned smugly at the results. So to please the crowd even more, they went into another song.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
"So would you mind explaining to me why there was an unauthorized concert in the school's auditorium today?"
Allen chuckled nervously from his seat on the couch he sat with the rest of the band members. Lenalee was the only that looked apologetic as him. Lavi was grinning like mad while Kanda had a bored look on his face, not seeming to care that they were in trouble with the principal.
"Anyone care to explain it to me?" bespectacled dark eyes looked over all four who where gathered. When no one made a move to answer he turned to Allen. "Allen-kun?"
Allen inwardly groaned as he knew the principal would pick on him. "Well ah…we just wanted to see the students' reaction to our songs. That's all. We're sorry if we kinda got the crowd a bit out of control."
The principal adjusted his glasses. "A bit out of control you say," he clenched his fists. "There are over twenty students injured and over thirty fainted from overexcitement. Not to mention someone set off the fire alarm, calling not only the fire brigade but the police. And do I have to mention that you four got escorted to me by those police officers? It even almost caused a riot!" He slammed his fists against the table. "I'm forbidding the lot of you from ever using the auditorium again! As a matter of fact you're banned from playing anywhere near the school compound. The next time I hear anything of the sort happening again, its suspension! Do you hear me?"
"Yes sir," they all chorused.
"Now go on home and I hope I won't have any more trouble from you four."
They didn't wait to be told twice. The moment they were able to leave they took it and headed out the door. Outside Kuu and Alex were waiting on them to hear the verdict.
"So?" Alex prodded.
"What's the punishment?" Kuu continued, hoping the punishment wasn't anything too extreme.
Allen sighed. "No music at school and the auditorium is completely off limits."
"Whoa, harsh," Alex replied as the six made their way down the hall. "But it's all good right? You guys got the results you wanted."
A grin on Allen's face was the only reply.
"Sweet," Alex had a grin of his own on. "I say we head over to Tyki's. Wait they might be practicing…"
They didn't want to intrude if that was the case. Tyki's band performance was in three days so they would give the group the space they needed to practice, as they were given the same treatment by them when they were in the same boat.
"Ok so how about we head over to our usual spot and just hang," Lavi suggested. "We can practice a few more songs too."
Everyone liked that idea. They were now out the doors and headed towards where Allen parked, chatting about mundane things. They stopped in their tracks suddenly and Alex whistled when he saw the black stretched limo parked there.
"Check out that ride!" he yelled out loud in awe. "Who's it for?"
Kanda though was frozen in his tracks. "No fucking way…he's back already?"
Allen heard what he muttered and turned a questioning gaze to him. He saw a particular look on his face and immediately knew who he was talking about.
A chauffer came out and opened the door. First there was a leather shoes followed by a pant clad leg and when the person stepped out of the car Kanda felt himself wanting to just run and hide. But it was too late to hide or do anything. As standing before him was his father.
"Yuu," Kozato began. There was a small frown on his face. "Come with me."
Kanda was tempted to say "Fuck the hell off. I'm not going anywhere with you!" but he was in a shitload of trouble as it was. So he upped for saying: "You're back early, father," he had an unreadable expression on his face. "I wasn't expecting to see you until Friday."
"The contract was closed earlier than expected," Kozato replied with a dismissive wave. His voice was clipped. "Now hurry along we have some things to discuss."
'More like you're preparing to send me to a private school, che,' Kanda thought. He said his goodbyes to his friends and after he got his goodbye kiss from Allen he went to join his father's side. Their eyes briefly met and he could plainly see the disappointment in his father's sharp cobalt ones. There was something else, some other emotion, but he disregarded it.
The air was tense and it didn't settle, even after they entered the limo and it drove off. Allen let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Everything happened so fast.
"Sometimes I forget that Kanda's filthy rich," Lenalee said when the silence didn't relent. "He's from a different class than us, but I wonder why he always act the way he does."
"You wouldn't get it," Kuu said. Her head was down and her bangs fell over her eyes, hiding it from view.
Lenalee snorted at the tone Kuu used. "Yeah and you would?" she crossed her hands at her chest, looking down at the younger and shorter girl.
Kuu raised her head. Her eyes were blank and almost lifeless. "Yes I do. People like you who have love and not burdens wouldn't understand a thing," she walked off towards where Allen was parked and got in the passenger side.
"Geez what's her problem?" Lenalee huffed. She felt a bit annoyed at the way Kuu acted.
Allen took that moment to step in. "Just chill out Lena," he placed a hand on her right shoulder.
Lenalee blushed when she felt Allen's hand on her. "I am chilled," she tried to will the blush away. "It's just that I don't get her. Most time I don't get what she's thinking and half the time I think she hates me."
Allen shook his head and removed his hand. "Nah Kuu doesn't hate you…I think."
"Well she did that time when you were going after Allen," Lavi added thoughtfully.
"Yeah I remember that," Alex had the same look on his face as Lavi. "She would glare at you and tell you to stay away from her daddy."
The two chuckled as they recalled the first two years of high school. Back then Kuu was still in junior high but because she heard of the treat to her 'family' she made coming to the high school branch her main priority. She was there every lunch time and everyday when school ended. Then when she finally got into the high school, she stuck to Allen like glue on paper. She never let him leave her side for fear of Lenalee catching his eye. When Lenalee gave up that was a god sent relief and even then she didn't lower her guard.
"I used to think she was just a paranoid brat," Lenalee had a frown on her face. "I didn't get why she called you two her parents though."
Allen's eyes seemed to dull. "Because we're the only parents she knows," he replied. "You know of the actress Seiko Kushinawa and her husband the business tycoon Zeik Kushinawa? They're her real parents."
Lenalee's eyes widened. "No way! You serious?" she saw that she was the only one who looked surprised. "Wait you two knew already?" she face-palmed. "Of course you two would know."
Lavi shrugged. "After all we've known her for along time now."
"Well if she has such awesome and rich parents why would she stick to you two?" Lenalee turned her inquisitive gaze to Allen. There were so many questions she wanted to ask.
"Her parents don't deserve such praises," Allen replied. He was suddenly angry. "I'm glad that they gave birth to Kuu but she's not their daughter. Kanda and I consider her as ours. We care about her more than they ever did!" He sighed and clenched his fists, catching himself before he could let the anger he felt for Kuu's real parents on her.
"What does that mean?" Lenalee wanted to know more and with the expressions on everyone's face she was itching to know more, but Allen didn't look as if he would answer.
"My real parents didn't want me."
It was Kuu who answered. She was standing by the car, seemingly cooled off.
"What?" Lenalee didn't think she heard right.
"You heard right. I never met them because they were too busy with their own lives to acknowledge me," Kuu continued with a shrug. "When I was born my mother never held me. She just headed back to the set of the stupid movie she was staring in. My father wasn't any different. He wasn't even at the hospital when I was born." Her eyes were moist but no tears were present. "I was taken care of by nannies and I was raised by my dad and papa, even though they were kids themselves. They're the only ones I consider as my parents that's why I won't let anyone come between them, because if it wasn't for them I would've been alone."
Allen joined Kuu's side, taking her hand and giving it a squeeze as if reassuring her that she would never be alone. She squeezed back, her way of telling him that she was alright.
"I'm sorry I didn't know…" deep plum eyes were hazy with slight regret. "But your parents, don't they keep in touch with you?"
"If you're asking if they send me cash now and then, they do every month but I don't use it. I don't care about how much money they send me. You can't buy affection with money. I would have been happy if they were there," she had a small smile on her face now. "But I don't care about that anymore as I already have two great parents who care a lot about me."
"You three were inseparable back then, still are," Lavi said with a smile. "I remember trying to take Yuu's attention from Allen. Kuu was teething then and boy did I get a bite."
"Wait weren't you around four years old then?" Lenalee asked shocked.
"Yeah so?" Lavi replied. He grinned. "You should have seen back Yuu then. He was every pedophile's wet dream. I was smitten on spot."
Allen snorted. "You were the most troublesome person to get rid of."
Lavi ran over to hug Allen. "But you still love me~" he grinned.
"Yeah yeah sure, get off me," Allen complained as he tried to pry Lavi off him. He heard a chuckle beside him and that chuckle soon broke out into a full blown laugh. A smile crossed his face when he saw Kuu laughing.
"You guys are still the same," she said once her laughter died down. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. "I'm so glad." She said with a watery smile.
The look made Allen's heart melt. He rested his hand on her shoulder and patted her on her head with his other one. "Let's head home and wait for Kanda to meet with us. I'm sure he'll be on his way after he's done with his dad."
"Un!"
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
Unfortunately Kanda didn't show up later that day. Also he didn't attend school for the next three days. It was now Saturday and everyone was over Tyki's getting ready to head out to the club.
"I'm fucking worried," Allen was sitting on the dark couch in the entertainment room. His head was in his hands. He wore a conservative black leather outfit that was on the punk side. "I haven't heard from Kanda since Tuesday. Something is wrong. I just know it."
Lavi was beside him channel surfing. He wore his usual combination of cargo pants and marina with various accessories. "Dude chillax, I'm sure Yuu has his reasons." He settled on a funny cartoon but then after a while he changed the channel again.
"I can't help but worry," Allen whined. He raised his head, turning his worried gaze to Lavi. "Maybe something happened with his dad."
"Could be," Tyki added from the doorway. He had on a tight leather button up shirt with matching pants. "Hey, time to go."
Allen clenched his fists. He didn't know if he could focus on the competition with Kanda missing. 'What if he doesn't come back by the time for our performance? Shit, screw the performance! What if he never comes back?'
"Dad, are you ok?" Kuu asked. She was standing before him, wearing a punk styled pink leather dress. Her big amethyst eyes were filled with worry as they locked with Allen.
Allen shook his head and focused on Kuu's form. "I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you." He got up to join the others at the door. "Yeah lets head on out. Today is Noah Family's first live performance and you'll need all the luck you can get."
"Say what now?" Road snorted. She wore a similar outfit as Kuu. "Like we need luck."
"Yeah, we'll top it tonight no prob," Debitto said with a smug smirk. His twin who wore matching leather outfit nodded vigorously.
Alex grinned. "Well I'm rooting for my Hannah-baby too, ya kno'," his crimson eyes was sparkling and he wrapped his arms around his red leather clad body, apparently shivering. "She has the voice of an angel!"
Lenalee snorted. "And the personality of a devil." She was also in leather material type clothing. And it seemed to be the theme for them.
"Road-darling~! Tyki-pyon~!"
Tyki cringed at the annoying word that was attached to his name. He tried to get everyone to hurry up so that they could leave but it was too late. Their path way was blocked by a man dressed hotly in a partially revealing black and white leather outfit. There was a bright grin on his face when he spotted Tyki and Road.
"There you two are," the man's golden eyes were sparkling brightly.
"Geez Cyril, what the fuck are you wearing?" Tyki's own golden eyes were wide with shock. He couldn't believe that his elder brother was wearing such an outfit. It made him look like a sadistic Dom.
Cyril did a 360 degrees turn, showing off his revealing leather and buckle outfit that clung to him like a second skin. "Like it?"
"Hell no!" Tyki felt embarrassed just looking at him. "Shouldn't you look your age?" He turned away. "And where are you planning to go dressing like that?" Even though he asked; he dreaded the response.
"My precious daughter and brother along with my two dear nephews are performing today!" Cyril's eyes glistened. "How can I miss that?"
Tyki was about to say "don't you dare show up!" but Allen cut him off before he could say anything.
"Well I knew Cyril would be coming," he said with a shrug. "It's no problem right?"
"Yeah there's a problem," Road chimed in. "I'll be embarrassed to death."
Cyril ran over to Road and grabbed her in a bear hug she couldn't escape. "My daring Road is embarrassed of her father!" he sobbed.
"Father, come on let go," Road struggled in his grasp. "You're messing up my outfit!"
Cyril reluctantly released Road, giving her a look that made her felt as if she kicked a puppy. Road sighed and turned away as she couldn't bear to look at the expression anymore.
"Fine," she muttered. "Father can come." Cyril was about to hug her again but she raised her hand. "But no hugging me in public! Also don't embarrass us, ok?"
It was hard to not hug Road but he controlled himself. He nodded his head in agreement.
Allen smiled a bit as he watched the interaction between the Road and her father. "So are we going or not?" he voiced with a grin. "Don't wanna be late right?"
Everyone agreed and headed out the room. Just then Allen's phone rang. He took it out and his eyes widened a bit when he saw the caller id. 'Kanda!' He put it to his ears immediately. There was so much on his mind to ask but right now he just wanted to see him.
"Are you ok?" he asked just as he answered. "I haven't heard from you for three days now."
"Come pick me up," was all Kanda said. For some reason his voice sounded strained.
"Are you home? I'll head there right away," Allen trailed behind the rest of the guys.
"I'm not home," Kanda replied. But the way he said the word 'home' made it clear to Allen that he was pissed. "I'm at the airport."
"Airport?" 'Did Kanda fly out in those three days?'
"Yeah, hurry I don't want to miss their performance," and with that Kanda hung up.
"Sure thing," Allen stuffed his phone in his front pocket and ran to catch up with everyone. "Guys, sorry can you go on without me? I'll meet you there."
Tyki turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "A problem came up?"
"Nah, just going to pick up Kanda," Allen replied as he dashed past everyone and headed to his pick up. "It'll take awhile cause he's at the airport."
"Ah I see," Tyki shrugged. "Seems like we're going to need another driver."
"Sorry Tyki," Allen poked his head from the open window. "I'll-"
"It's no prob, Cyril will drive," Tyki replied interrupting him. "Go on, Kanda will be pissed if you're late."
Allen nodded and started his vehicle. He shifted the gear to drive and pulled out from the drive way. "See you guys there!" he yelled before he drove off.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
If he didn't have enough self control he would have crashed already. It was hard to keep his eyes on the road and keep his cool when Kanda was practically blowing him as he drove. 'Fuck…I'm gonna cum…'
"Kanda…ngh…dammit…" Allen's grip on the steering wheel tightened and his mind went blank when Kanda took him all the way down the back of his throat and sucked.
Kanda ran his tongue over the head, licking and nipping. He took all he could down his throat once more and pulled back up, only to repeat the process. Allen was on the brink of his orgasm and he couldn't hold it back. 'Shit, how the hell did things turn out this way?' When he picked up Kanda it was practically normal, that was until Kanda got a call. He didn't know who it was but Kanda didn't answer. His facial expression soured even more and he tossed the phone to the backseat. That was when he made to attack Allen.
Allen tried to suppress a moan as Kanda's talented tongue and mouth rained a relentless attack on his member. He wouldn't hold out long by the looks of it. Kanda practically swallowed him, rubbing his nose in the thick brown curls at the base of his cock. And that was it for Allen. He exploded in Kanda's mouth and Kanda swallowed everything Allen had to offer without gagging. He pulled back after he sucked Allen dry, licking his swollen cherry lips. There was a smirk on his face and an obvious budge in his pants.
"Fuck…Kanda, what the hell?" Allen tried to regain his lost breath. He pulled over off the road to a dark grassy area. "What's gotten into you?"
Kanda seemed to pout. "What? Didn't like it?"
"Yeah I loved it. It was fucking awesome but I could've crashed," Allen sighed as he rested his head on the steering wheel.
"But you didn't," Kanda's voice was a low seductive purr. "Come on, let's continue."
Before Allen was aware of anything, Kanda lowered his seat and straddled his hips.
"Whoa, Kanda," Allen tried to sit up but Kanda pushed him back down.
"Are you going to leave me like this?" Kanda leaned forward and rubbed his clothed erection on Allen's lower abdomen. He shivered at the contact. His breath caressed Allen's right ear and he took the lobe in his mouth, sucking on the sliver knob. "I want to feel you."
Allen could feel his self control slipping away bit by bit. 'Oh damn, I'm hard again…'
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
'We're so fucking late,' Allen chanted in his head as he and Kanda weaved their way through the massive crowd. Though he kept thinking that, his mind couldn't help straying to what happened a few minutes ago. Of him fucking Kanda into the front seat of his pick up truck. The memory was fresh, no duh, since it happened only a few minutes ago. He shook his head, ridding the perverted thoughts. Right now he should be focusing on the competition.
It seemed that M.M had started already. They missed the first band's performance but were in time to catch the second band on the end of their first song.
"There are the guys," Allen grabbed on to Kanda's hand and pulled him along towards the direction where Kuu, Lavi, Alex, Cyril and Lenalee were standing.
The band on stage was getting a good forward and it spiked Allen's curiosity. He raised his head to get a look of the band members and was surprised to see that it was made up of the four people they met last Sunday: Deamon, Devera, Sei and Ryou.
"No way, Deamon's group is competition too?" Allen said once they finally made it to where their friends stood.
"Eh? Allen, Yuu, took you guys long enough," Lavi had to yell over the sound of the band playing. "You missed Bone Graveyard's performance. It was nothing big if you ask me. Right now Nocturne's rocking the stage. They're sick, eh?"
"Sure are," Allen replied.
On the stage Deamon had his eyes closed as he practically purred into the microphone. His twin sister Devera was beside him with her guitar in hand. Sei was to the back on the drums and Ryou was to Deamon's left on the keyboard. They were now starting their second song.
~ Heartbreak... Heart heart heartbreak...~
Deamon's strong voice seemed to echo. He held the mike and opened his eyes. When he spotted Black Lotus in the crowd he smirked. Allen returned his smirk with one of his own, challenging him to prove that they were a worthy competition and that was what Deamon intended.
~ Girl don't say you love me when you're out the door.~
He nodded his head to the beat while Sei and Ryou whispered their lines. ~ Woah yeah...~
Deamon swayed as he continued.
~ Cause I know things are different than they were before.~
Sei and Ryou chimed in with: ~ Woah oh oh yeah...~
A smile crossed Deamon's lips as he sung his lines.
~ You kill me with your kiss, it's so hard to resist you,
and when you look me in the eyes tonight.
And say we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak
and I don't ever ever wanna hear you say
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving…~
Deamon lowered his head, looking into the crowd. He moved his arms and body as he charmed them.
~ You said we'd stick it out through the thick and thin.~
Sei and Ryou came in with: ~ Woah yeah...~
~ But when the walls came down you wouldn't let me in.~
Just like before the two sang their lines. ~ Woah oh oh yeah...~
Deamon had a serious yet playful expression on his face as he regarded the crowd.
~We've been through it all,
My back's against the wall,
It's crashing down on me tonight.
And we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
and I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak,
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.~
The rhythm mellowed a bit and the sound of Devera's guitar seemed to be more dominant.
~ I'm sick and tired of this whole situation.
Here comes another fight.
Pin me down with the same conversation.
No, don't say you love me tonight.~
Sei and Ryou seemed to stop playing and Devera went into a guitar solo. Her experienced fingers strummed again the string, bringing alive a catchy melody. Despite the blank look on her face she seemed to be having fun. Deamon smiled at his sister as he purred his line.
~ Heartbreak...~
The two joined back in and Deamon got ready to end the song.
~ And we're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
And I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
I'm ready for a heart heart heartbreak,
I'm gonna gonna turn around and walk away.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.
We're headed for a heart heart heartbreak,
And I don't ever ever wanna hear you say.
Don't say you love me, don't even,
Don't say you love me, you're leaving.~
The crowd cheered louder and even Allen and the others found themselves howling some praises to the band. Kanda had a blank look on his face but he was obviously impressed by the way Deamon's voice sounded. He thought of them as good competition for them, Tyki and Hannah.
"Thank you all!" Deamon yelled to the crowd.
Their group exited the stage and Reever came back on along with Tyki, Road and Jasdebi who took their places on stage. "That was Nocturne! Well done guys!" he gave two thumbs up. "Now for the number three in Group B, I give you, Noah Family!"
It was Allen's group turn to go wild. They yelled and cheered but not as much as Lavi, Kuu and Cyril. Their cheers practically outshone everyone else's.
"How're you guys feeling tonight?" Tyki's voice was silky and smooth and it caused the cheering to increase. He chuckled lightly and the deep baritone of it had most of them squealing. "I'm feeling drunk on love and only one person could make me feel this way."
In the crowd Lavi's face was blood red. Kuu and Alex grinned at the bold confession as they teased him.
"All my songs are written with him in mind," Tyki continued with a sultry smile. He had his guitar in his hands. "I'm sure he'll enjoy the performance. But I hope you guys will too!"
The cheers increased. Tyki and Debitto started off first, strumming on their fingers on their respected guitars and creating a low mellow tune. Jasdero and Road joined in and Tyki began to sing.
~ This time, this place,
Misused, mistakes,
Too long, too late,
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance,
Just one breath,
Just in case there's just one left,
'Cause you know, you know, you know…~
He looked right at Lavi as he continued singing. It was like he was confessing all over again. Jasdero's hits on the drum became more pronounced.
~ That I love you,
I have loved you all along,
And I miss you,
Been far away for far too long,
I keep dreaming, you'll be with me,
And you'll never go,
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore…~
Tyki paused and the beat mellowed down with Tyki and Debitto's guitars being the most dominant sounds. He closed his eyes for a bit and then opened them, drinking in the image of a blushing redhead. A small smile tugged his lips and he leaned closer, purring into the microphone.
~ On my knees, I'll ask,
Last chance for one last dance,
'Cause with you I'd withstand,
All of hell to hold your hand,
I'd give it all,
I'd give for us,
Give anything but I won't give up,
'Cause you know, you know, you know…~
The rhythm grew louder as did the drums beats. Tyki poured his heart out in his performance, showing the world how much he loved his redhead.
~ That I love you,
I have loved you all along,
And I miss you,
Been far away for far too long,
I keep dreaming you'll be with me,
And you'll never go,
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore.~
Jasdero's hits on the drum mellowed down and so did the rhythm. Tyki closed his eyes once more and his voice seemed to echo.
~So far away (So far away),
Been far away for far too long,
So far away (So far away),
Been far away for far too long,
But you know, you know, you know…~
He opened his eyes, staring out at the crowd but only focusing on Lavi. To him he was only performing for Lavi and due to that it gave his performance the sort of lovesick feeling.
~ I wanted,
I wanted you to stay,
'Cause I needed,
I need to hear you say,
That I love you (that I love you),
I have loved you all along,
And I forgive you (and I forgive you),
For being away for far too long.
So keep breathing,
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore,
Believe it,
Hold on to me and, never let me go.
Keep breathing,
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore,
Believe it,
Hold on to me and, never let me go.~
His voice lowered and he practically purred in the mike.
~Keep breathing,
Hold on to me and, never let me go…
Keep breathing,
Hold on to me and, never let me go…~
With one last strum and a few hits on the drum the song ended. The cheers that erupted were deafening. Everyone was having a field day over the soft smooth voice Tyki had. Lavi was beet red and he didn't know if he could handle another of Tyki's love confession songs.
"You guys liked that eh?" Tyki smirked bit when the cheers only got louder. He saw the embarrassed look on Lavi's face but that only encouraged him. "Glad to know. This next one is something I've been tinkering with for awhile. It's a bit last minute but let's see if how it turns out, ne?"
Debitto and Road began playing immediately and Tyki started singing.
~ Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
Tired of living like a blind man,
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling,
And this is how you remind me…~
Jasdero joined in, pounding on the drums in a steady beat. When he got to the chorus those hits sped up and were louder.
~This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am.
It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking,
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no…~
Tyki had his hands on both sides of the mike as he continued. He tapped his feet to the beat.
~It's not like you didn't know that,
I said I love you and I swear I still do,
And it must have been so bad,
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you.
And this is how, you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how, you remind me,
Of what I really am.~
The rhythm sped up and Jasdero's drums became louder.
~ It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking,
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…
Yet, yet, yet, no, no…~
Everything went really low, with the most dominant sounds being Road's keyboard and Debitto's guitar. Tyki's deep smooth voice rang over the rhythm.
~Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
And this is how you remind me,
This is how you remind me.~
Jasdero joined in, creating a steady beat with his drums.
~This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am,
This is how you remind me,
Of what I really am…~
The beat sped up even more and Jasdero pounded away on his drums. Tyki took the mike out of the stand and paced across the stage as he sung.
~ It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking…!~
He got to his knees and this made the crowd's cheers increased.
~And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet,
Are we having fun yet?
Yet, yet…~
Tyki lowered his head as he purred the last line of the song. The crowd was wild with their cheers.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
"Now for the last group, give it up for the feisty all girl band; Tempest!"
"What's up guys?" Hannah practically screamed out into the mike. She wore a tight fitting black skirt and an even tighter corset with thigh length boots. "You guys ready to rock?"
She jumped up and the most of the males in the crowd cooed and whistled. Alex was at the front screaming and cheering his heart out.
Diane was to her right with her guitar. Christoy was to her left on her guitar. Nikola was to the back on the drums and lastly Mellonie was behind Christoy on the keyboard.
Hannah turned back to face her girls. "Come on guys lets show em' what we've got!"
Nikola started and everyone joined in right away. Hannah closed her eyes as she sang.
~ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The rhythm seemed to die down but then it started up again, with the dominant beat being Nikola's drums. Hannah opened her eyes and a smirk tugged her lips. She held the mike stand as she continued singing.
~I wanna lock you up in my closet, when no one's around.
I wanna put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed.
I wanna drive you into the corner, and kiss you without a sound.
I wanna stay this way forever, I'll say it loud.
Now you're in, and you can't get out…~
Diane and Christoy joined in, strumming their fingers against the strings. Mellonie kept the base at the accepted tone while Hannah had her hands out to the crowd as she rocked.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The drum beats returned to a steady beat and Hannah too the mike from its stand. She paced around the stage, looking into the crowd while she sang.
~ I can make you feel all better, just take it in.
And I can show you all the places, you've never been.
And I can make you say everything, that you've never said.
And I will let you do anything, again and again.
Now you're in, and you can't get out…~
Mellonie ran her hands across the keys while the other put increased their output. Hannah was at the center of the stage. She raised the mike to her lips.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
The beat mellowed down and Hannah lowered her head, singing softly into the mike.
~ Kiss me gently,
Always I know,
Hold me, love me,
Don't ever go…
Ooh, yeah yeah…~
Alex almost jumped on the stage yelling an 'I'll kiss you and love you!' but Lavi and Allen held him back. Hannah smirked and the beat soared. Her girl's voices echoed with hers at certain parts.
~You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me (you're so good to me),
You make me so hot!
Make me wanna drop!
It's so ridiculous,
I can barely stop,
I can hardly breathe,
You make me wanna scream!
You're so fabulous,
You're so good to me baby, baby,
You're so good to me baby, baby…~
She gave a longing look to the crowd as she purred the last line. ~ You're so good…~
When the song ended the crowd erupted into praises and Alex went wild. Allen, Lavi and Kuu had to get some help from Cyril and Lenalee just to restrain him.
"Loving the response!" Hannah yelled out in the mike. "Come on show me your love!" The crowd's cheers got louder and Alex seemed to struggle more. "Awesome~"
Nikola started playing and the others joined in. Hannah rocked her head to the beat as she moved about the stage. She brought the mikes to her lips and sang.
~ I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.
I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.~
She grinned, putting up the peace sign in a form of a victory. Nikola hits on the drum got louder and Hannah walked forward, dancing to the beat.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag.
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.~
Her smile widened and she began stalking the stage once more, turning her attention to her girls. She turned back to face the crowd and held her index finger up, swishing it from side to side, as if reprimanding the crowd.
~ Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!~
She backed back and shook her head to the beat.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag.
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good...~
The beat mellowed down with Nikola's drums being the most dominant sound. Hannah stopped in the center of the stage with the mike in her hands. Her voice was soft as she began singing but when she reached the end her voice regain its strength.
~ I watched his wildest dreams come true,
Not one of them involving you,
Just watch my wildest dreams come true,
Not one of them involving...~
Diane and Christoy thrummed away on their guitars and Nikola pounded away on her drums. Mellonie kept the beat together as Hannah rocked and danced about on the stage. She showed off her feisty girl power charisma as she moved about. The rhythm seemed to mellow out as Hannah sung the first two lines but it regained its rage as she continued.
~ Whoa, I never meant to brag,
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag.
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...~
Hannah held the note and she raised her head, taking the mike to her lips. ~It just feels so good.~
With a few last hits on the drum the song ended.
M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M * M.M
It was the intermission before Reever would announce the night's participants for the next round and Allen found himself in one of the VIP rooms with the members of his band, Noah Family, Tempest, Nocturne, Kuu, Alex and Cyril. They were all congratulating each other and hoping for the best when the results were out.
"So Allen who do you think took the night?" Deamon asked. He was sitting in one of the couches with Devera by his side.
Allen had his arms crossed over his chest as he pondered. "That's a tough one," he answered in all honesty. "All you guys rocked it tonight."
"No way, my darling Road and Tyki took the win tonight!" Cyril said with a pout.
"Well I say my Hannah-baby took it," Alex yelled, trying to get over to where Hannah sat but was blocked by her girls. They were tough body guards to crack.
Deamon chuckled. "Sounds like you three got some die hard fans."
"More like crazed fans," Allen said with a shake of his head. He wrapped his hands around Kanda's waist and pulled him closer. "Well there's only one person I'm crazy for."
"I see that," Deamon said with a grin.
The door was pushed open and there was a brief explosion of music before it went silent when the door closed. Everyone turned their attention to the door, seeing a cocky looking Kira. There were three other persons with him. Allen's cousin Wisely, the person Allen hated like fuck Valarn Heat and a blonde lady with blue eyes hidden by a pair of glasses.
"Sup peeps?" his smirk became sultrier as his emerald orbs locked on Kanda.
"Well lookie here," Lavi had an annoyed look on his face. "The members of Akuma seemed to be crashing our convo."
"Sorry about that," Wisely looked apologetic. "Lulu Bell and I couldn't stop those two."
Lulu Bell - the blonde lady - just looked bored, seemingly more interested in fixing her make up.
"Well Wisely you can stay, and I'm sure Lulu Bell wouldn't mind staying too," Allen said with a bright smile on his face. He still had the smile on when he turned to address Kira and Heat. "I don't give a shit to what Kira does, but Heat, get the fuck out."
"Ooh still a bitter little fucker," Heat had a shit eating grin on. "Shut the fuck up. You can't kick me out. It's not like you own the place. " He had a look in his face that was just daring Allen to throw him out.
Allen got up intending to do just that. "Wanna bet you little shit."
Heat walked closer to meet Allen. "Yeah let's see you make me leave, fucking brat."
Things were getting heated up as Heat and Allen made their way to each other. They were this close to starting a bloodbath but Wisely held on to Heat while Tyki, Lavi and Alex had to pull Allen back.
"Oi Wisely let go," Heat struggled from his grasp. "Let me teach this fucking brat a lesson."
"You're gonna teach me a lesson? Like fuck you are," Allen showed him his middle finger as Tyki was pulling him back. "I'd wipe the fucking floor with you, asshole."
"Why you cocky fucker," Heat hissed, struggling even more. "Wisely let me the fuck go!"
"No damn it!" Wisely growled. He was getting really pissed off. "Control your fucking temper. I'm not letting you lay a hand on my little cuz." He pushed Heat back into Kira's hands and then turned to face Allen. "And Allen chill the fuck out! God, what's up with you two?"
"I fucking hate that guy!" Allen and Heat seemed to roar at the same time.
Kuu was by Allen's side with her hand on his shoulder. "Dad…"
Allen seemed to calm down when Kuu touched him. He pulled away from Tyki, Lavi and Alex's hold, turning to his little girl.
"Sorry you had to see me like that," he said with an apologetic smile.
Kuu shook her head and turned to glare at Heat. "You should've kicked that loser's ass. I hate him too."
Allen grinned and then he broke out in a laugh. He forgot the he and Kuu practically hated the same guys. The guys who always tried to steal Kanda away from them. Kuu smile when she saw that the tense look was leaving her dad's shoulders.
"The results are being read," Lulu Bell said as she powdered her nose. The way she said it was so mundane. It was almost like she was asking about the weather.
Everyone turned to her in disbelief but she didn't notice the looks as she was too focused on her reflection. Heat shrugged off Kira's hands and he turned to leave. Kira and Lulu Bell were right after him and then Wisely, after he apologized once more for the problems his friends caused.
"Well that's what I call entertainment," Deamon gave a whistle. "I'm sure you guys would've killed each other."
"Nah, Allen would've beaten him to a bloody pulp," Lavi said with a sure grin. "Have you seen Allen fight? He's like the fucking terminator! One hit from his fists and you're out cold."
All the others seem to agree.
"Yeah that was how we met," Alex rubbed his right shoulder as he remembered the pain it went through. "I challenged him to a fight back in the fourth grade. He completely demolished me."
He was a bit of a tough guy back then and had challenged Allen to a match because he heard that he never lost a fight. Allen didn't fight him right off the bat and he continued to chase after him, hounding him for a fight. During his persistence he accidently pushed Kuu down who started crying. She was only in the second grade then. The next thing you knew; he woke in the infirmary. Since then he was attached to Allen, wanting to be his pupil.
Allen chuckled a bit. "Come on I'm not that great."
"Sure sure," Hannah waved her hand in a dismissive way. "So come on. Let's see who's in and who's not."
That grabbed everyone's attention. They headed out the room towards where Reever was on stage. The music dimmed to a low thrum and the lights focused on Reever.
"Okay guys it's time for the verdict!" he paused as he let the crowd cheer. "The bands that'll be advancing to the next round are…" he brought the paper up. "First off we have Noah Family!"
Kuu and Road hugged each other as they jumped up and down. The twins joined them. Cyril made to hug Tyki but Lavi beat him to it and Allen clapped, congratulating them. So did the other two groups.
"Next up is Nocturne!"
Sei yelled and Ryou gave a bright smile. The two of them high fived while Deamon gave Devera a deep kiss.
"Followed closely by Tempest!"
Nikola held her hands up as she yelled. Kuu and Road who were still jumping up and down got pulled into a tight squeeze by the members of Tempest. Hannah though had a smug look on her face. As if she knew that they would've gone to the next round.
Reever continued with his announcement but none of them seemed to pay attention as they heard the results they wanted to hear. Right now it was time for celebrations. The bands who made it were, Noah Family, Nocturne, Tempest, Danger Zone and Crescent Moonbay. Unfortunately Bone Graveyard didn't make it.
"So where'll be the after party?" Lavi asked as he knew there would be one.
"Why not chill out here for awhile?" Sei recommended. "Then we can go club hopping till we're either passed out or pissed drunk."
Allen seemed to like that idea. He turned to Kanda wanting to hear his views but he saw him looking at his cell phone, which was ringing. This time he caught the name on the caller id. 'Father.'
"Kanda?" he turned to him, resting his hands on his shoulders. "You'll need a ride home huh?"
Kanda shut his phone off and stuffed it back into the pocket of his leather jacket. "No, I'm crashing at your place tonight."
"Are you sure?" Allen's asked. He wanted to spend more time with Kanda but he didn't want him to get into trouble for it. "Won't you-"
"You want me there or not?" Kanda snapped interrupting him.
"Yes I want you!" Allen yelled immediately. "I mean I want you there…"
"Good," a small seductive smirk tugged Kanda's lips and he purred. "Now dance with me."
Allen didn't need to be asked twice. He pulled Kanda towards the dance floor and they clung to each other, rocking to the infectious beat. Kanda allowed himself to block out all his problems. Right now all that mattered was have fun with the love of his life. He'd deal with all the crap his father had in store for him when his mind was clearer. So right now, he'd forget everything but the feeling of Allen's body so close to his.
