Prologue part 1
The sun slowly began its daily routine over a clear autumn day in Tokyo. Gackt looked up; the sky was delightfully mixed in pink, orange and light blue, with a few clouds scattered all over. It had been a while since he had had the chance to observe such pleasant scenery, and even though his heart was quite rejoiced by the whole view, his head rapidly looked down, as his stomach had been demanding the release of all the alcohol it had been abused with.
- Mind joining me? - said Yoshiki, who was holding himself against a trashcan with one hand, and holding his mouth with the other.
- We are in the middle of a freaking neighborhood … we gotta try to ho- … - attempted to say Gackt as he felt another urging request from his stomach. By the looks of it, they had ended up in a quite wealthy neighborhood. Two-store white houses, each with their gated garden, and golden mailbox … or was it bronze?
- Ah! Ii ne~ … - he smirked as he kept looking around, holding his stomach
- Dude I don’t think I can hold it any lon- … uttered Yoshiki, swiftly replacing his hand in front of his mouth.
Gackt looked around, hoping to find a safe place where the two of them could finally give relief to their stomachs. They had been walking for hours now, to the point of probably being completely sobered up, but he had to admit that this time, they just might have overdone it; the oncoming headache was a sign of it. The both of them were wearing jeans; Gackt had a leather black jacket, a pair of sunglasses, and a baseball hat, while Yoshiki was wearing a white shirt, sunglasses, and his hair was tied back, under a fisher hat. Gackt kept on with his intense search; as his eyes past and suddenly stopped back on Yoshiki … maybe they weren’t as sober as he thought.
- The trashcan … - he grumbled
- Uh? - murmured Yoshiki looking rather confused
- Use the fucking trashcan … -
- Oooo! Dude you are a geni- screamed Yoshiki as his stomach gave its final call, and forced the drummer into the can, quickly followed by Gackt. Feeling relieved Yoshiki looked up to find the figure of a young man standing rather perplexed in front of them.
- Oh! We are fine, now! Tsk! … no worries … - said Yoshiki with a smile on his face, while waving his right hand as if to say “you can leave now”. The boy just slowly nodded, and was about to say something, when he heard a voice coming from the window just above them
- Hurry up! Where have you been? -
- What?!?! It’s fucking 6 AM give me a break!! - Said the boy in a somewhat irritated voice
- Hey! Don’t curse in my neighbored! - jokingly replied the voice from the window
- Your neighborhood? - yelled a second voice behind the window. The young man swiftly bowed at the two drunken man, and was now slowly walking past the gate.
Yoshiki was still resting on the can as he turned towards his friend, who was standing up right looking at the window. Gackt’s stomach was now hinting again, but this time it wasn’t vomit. His eyes kept on staring at the now parting figure of the person behind the window; if there ever were anything such as angels, he had just seen one.

It was 6AM and Kai was up and busy in his kitchen. He was humming a motive, as he was calmly getting everything ready for this long awaited day; everything had to be perfect. The seemingly never-ending Nightmare tour had finally ended, and Ruka was gonna come straight home to him; he couldn't wait.
The two drummers had been dating for almost a year, they of course had met at their company. It was a late summer night, and Kai was the only Gazette member left practicing. He had recently become a member of the band, and the whole thing of being the new one, was making him feel very uncomfortable, even though all his new group members were all very nice too him; maybe even just too nice. He lacked a whole year of all sort of joy and sorrow with this four people, of course it wasn't his fault, it couldn't be helped, nevertheless, he still felt a little out of place.
As he kept on releasing his anxiety on his drum set, his arms began to feel heavy and sore. He had being restlessly drumming for hours now, he knew that. He also knew that if he wanted to be able to attend the following day's practice, it would have been a wise idea to stop. Thus, he decided to conclude his practice, and as he was about to stand up, a voice behind him made him swiftly turn around on his throne.
-I was beginning to wonder whether you were human or not? - said the tall man, who was leaning on the door next to the entrance. Kai looked at the standing figure. Realizing he was Nightmare's drummer, Ruka, he quickly bowed, and raising his head again he turned to look at his drum set, respectfully ignoring his visitor. He hadn't have the time to socialize with other PS band members, he had been formally introduced to all of them, at his welcome party, but that night, he just stayed around the Gazette members, and silently observed,
- You have been playing non stop for 4 hours now, you have quite some stamina there - said Ruka as Kai could hear steps coming closer. The young drummer was now frantically trying to think about something to say, when Ruka resumed talking
- Ruka - said the tall drummer and kept silent. Kai turned around again on his throne, just to find a hand in his face, he shook it and finally broke his silence
- I know, I remember, from the party - he replied, and as if realizing what he had just said he quickly added - and of course you are my sempai, I have listened to a lot of Nightmare's work and I think- he was hushed by Ruka's laughter. Did he say something funny?
- There, just when I though you couldn't talk - said Ruka at the end of his laughter - It is ok, even if you didn't like Nightmare, I am not going to judge you or anything - he replied kindly smiling. Kai simply smiled back, and once again not knowing what to say he stood, deciding it a good idea to just go home and sleep; he had indeed been drumming for the past 4 hours non stop, he was tired, and he had the feeling he knew where this conversation was going. He smiled at the tall man, once more kindly bowed and walked past Ruka, when he felt his wrist being held, and then quickly released. He slowly turned to face the other drummer, who was now nervously starring at his shoes, with his hands in his pockets.
- A-ano- - managed to say Kai, who was now completely bewildered, as Ruka suddenly interrupted him
- I am sorry I didn't mean to grab you like that … I just … I felt … I couldn't let you go just like that - he hurriedly said, his gaze still down on his shows. Kai sighed to himself, and began asking himself whether this was really happening, right there, right at that moment; he didn't have time for that.
- It is a little late, and I am a bit tired … - swiftly replied Kai, who was now looking at the clock hanging on the wall behind Ruka, and resumed talking - I have practice in an other seven hours, I shouldn't have done - and he was interrupted again
- Sure, sure, of course, again, I apologize - quickly replied Ruka with a deep bow. Taken aback by the fact that his sempai was bowing at him Kai hastily replied
- Please don't, I-I, it's ok …. was there something you wanted to ask me? - quickly said Kai, who bit his lip already regretting haven said that.
- I … - said Ruka, who was now looking at the wall on his right, scratching his head and resumed speaking
- Do you … have … are you... against … male and male relationships - he managed to say as his face furiously turned red. Kai had seen that coming, he sighed once more. He wasn't against homosexual relationships, and Ruka wasn't unattractive, but he just wasn't in the mood or state, to start thinking about a relationship.
- Ano … I am not against it just … - he stopped as Ruka's now sparkling eyes had suddenly met with his. The shorter drummer rapidly looked away and resumed talking
- At the moment I am not yet ready for -
- It is ok, I'll wait, all the time that there is to wait! - shouted Ruka, who had interrupted Kai for the nth time that night, he was now starting to wonder whether he would have ever been able to conclude a sentence around the tall man. The thought made him laugh, he then faced the other man and looking at his now rather happy looking face he, cleared his voice, and resumed a seemingly serious expression.
- I'll wait. - repeated Ruka, who now had raised his head to look at Kai straight in the eyes - and while I am waiting … may I take you home? - he said with a big smile. Kai suspiciously looked at the elder, if he was planing on getting any tonight, he was looking at the wrong person. Noticing the weary look on the young drummer's face Ruka hastily added
- I will only drive you home, I won't even get of the car. I swear! - he defended himself. Kai was too tired, and though he didn't think it a good idea, he felt like he wasn't going to get rid of the other drummer so easily, thus, he resolved on accepting the ride.
Indeed, Ruka took him home, stayed in the car, and after greeting him he left. From the following day, Ruka would show up at every practice he could, and take Kai home, who had began feeling rather comfortable around the elder, to the point that he accepted to go on a date with him, making the other the happiest man on the planet.
Kai was too absobered in his cooking to noticed that Ruka had entered the house, and made himself too the kitchen, leaning as his usual against the kitchen door, observig his lover. He had missed him so much, and not being able to contain his happiness any longer, he tip-toe towards the drummer who was tasting something out of a pot, and quickly embraced him, making the younger man jump.
- Mooooo … - protested Kai, whose heart was still racing from the shock - It is always like that with you? Isn't it - he continued, now looking up at the tall men, and kindly landing a kiss on his lips
- I haven't seen you in like months and that is all I get? I missed you … - sarcastically replied Ruka, looking at his lover with lips tightly pressed in request of another kiss.
- I missed you too honey, who do you think all of this is for! - giggled Kai looking all around, he then replaced his eyes on his lovers face, his eyes closed and his mouth still requesting a kiss. Kai smiled, his heart still rushing in happiness, as if he couldn't believe Ruka was right there in front of him. He then raised himself on his toes, placed his lips on his lover's, who had granted his lover's awaiting muscle permission for entrance. Ruka held Kai tighter, and Kai placed his arms around the elder's neck, still holding his wooden spoon. It wasn't a rushed or lustful kiss, it was a slow and longly awaited kiss of two lovers who hadn't seen each other in what seemed like forever, and even though their tongue's seemd to want to embrace each other forever, they had to allow their lungs some releaf too. So they just stayed there in each other arms, Kai's head was now leaning on Ruka's chest, his eyes closed, feeling the older man's heartbeat.
Ruka's hand then slowly lifted Kai's right hand, and observed his lover's wrist. Kai looked at the hand, and quickly retracted it.
- It's all gone - he quickly replied smiling at his lover, whose face had now assumed a sorrowful look. Neither men said anything, Kai placed both his hand on Ruka's chest, and bent his head trying to meet his lover's eyes, and Ruka slowly resumed speaking
- I am sorry …I don't know what- tried to say Ruka, who was silenced by Kai's index finger.
It's ok, it's all gone now, let's not think about it ever again, ok? - replied Kai. Looked at the elder's face still unanimated, and then swfitly said
- Satoru, I love you - Ruka slowly lift his head, and lovingly looked in his lover's eyes. He then kindly grabbed his lover's head, placed it on his chest, and began stroking the soft black locks.
- I love you too Yutaka - he finally replied, and then whispered to himself - more than you can imagine … -
888---***---888
Ruki walked out of his bedroom, heading downstairs towards his kitchen. As he was lighting a cigarette, he startled in finding his cousin Shou sitting at the kitchen table in front of him.
- Yet another one … - murmured Shou, trying to sound as normal as possible, and not like he had just found out about his cousin's most personal secret. Ruki walked in, and poured some of the coffee that was already made in his mug, which had been brought out already.
- And this time it was a girl! … and poor thing, I could here her shout in pain, what was it? … ah! … Argh! Not so hard … it hurts! - continued Shou, attempting a giggle in his mug.
- I thought you usually went to Chihuahua’s house, when I get my SeFre over … - replied Ruki, who was now sitting in front of Shou, sipping on his coffee.
- You know, you are not much bigger than Hiroto, and he wasn’t answering anyway. So I had to stay here and bare while, you were killing the poor girl. But Pon sent me a message, he is supposed to be here now …
- Umm, so Chihuaha is coming here, eh … - said Ruki, heavily exhaling some smoke out his mouth. Shou noticed the very tired expression on the vocalist face. Today was exactly two years from when he had received that letter. Was he desperately trying to forget Hyde? What was Shou supposed to say? How was he supposed to act now, that all he felt was pity and compassion. He got up and went to look out the kitchen window, hoping to see Hiroto coming form somewhere. Seeing nobody, he sighed and looked back at Ruki
- I hope you use protection. It would be sad for all your fans to discover that you suddenly contracted syphilis or something … - said Shou trying to repress his laughter
- I am not a whore; I know what I am doing. - dryly replied Ruki, while taking another sip from his cup
- Oh don’t worry, you surely aren’t a whore. You see, whores don’t pay, they get paid. - pointed out Shou, patting Ruki on his shoulder, while walking towards the exit of the room.
- Bitch, I hope you are going up to finish packing your things! Damn I have been waiting a damn long four years for the day you finally left this house. - said Ruki with a little smirk on his face, as he stretched his arms out, while yawning.
- You know your sorry ass is gonna miss me. You are so helpless without me, you Chibi-freak-san. - giggled Shou, who was now standing at the entrance of the kitchen with a quite amused expression; Ruki had rapidly stood up, he was now underneath his nose
- Bitch call me that again … - he dryly said looking up menacing at his cousin. Shou looked down at the vocalist, and finding the whole thing just entirely comical he laughed and said
- You are so cute - he then scattered his hair with his hand and ran upstairs. He was thinking whether he shouldn't just stay now, as if by him leaving Ruki could actually do something more dangerous than actually just disappearing for two weeks; he was now worried out of his mind. He got into his room, and looking out of his window he saw Hiroto, who was standing in front of two men, who were apparently bent over the trashcan in front of their house, he opened the window and began yelling
- Hurry up! Where have you been? - Hiroto looked up, and with a rather annoyed voiced shouted back
- What?!?! It’s fucking 6 AM give me a break!! - Shou quickly looked around his neighborhood, and then started shouting again
- Hey! Don’t curse in my neighbored! - he looked down at Hiroto, who had walked past the gate, and was now flicking him off.
- Your neighborhood? - yelled Ruki from downstairs
- Oh! Shut up … - whispered Shou as he retreated from the window, in order to go meet up with Hiroto. As he walked towards the door, he glanced at Ruki's figure eyes starring into nowhere, and prayed to himself; if there ever were anything such as God, to please help him find a way to help his cousin.
