Summary: The weirdest of dreams, unusual familiar companions, and a most mysteriously sensual voice, takes Reita through a most interesting ride, all because his heart is trying to tell him something, but doesn't seem to be able to …
>^...The Fall...^<
Akira …
Who … wouldn't have liked to be called by such a beautiful voice ... in such an alluring way ...
… Akira … me …
Beautiful and alluring it was indeed, but it wasn't just that ... there was something about it. Something that made Reita want to desperately find its owner, but it was still too faint. In addition, even though he knew his eyes to be wide open, his not being able to see anything other than pitch darkness, made his present situation somewhat eery. Yet, fear and uncertainty aside, the voice still managed to remain his primary concern
… Akira … open … me …
There seemed to be something familiar about it. Incredibly so. But it wasn't the voice itself, because it was a voice he'd never heard before, of that he was sure. What felt familiar, were the sensations that the beautiful and alluring voice was beginning to awaken. Feelings akin to pleasuring heat … carnal desire … insatiable passion… yet, those either, weren't exactly part of his concern
… Akira, open your eyes, come to me …
The voice was finally grew clear, and like a puppet tied to a set of string, Reita obeyed without hesitation, snapping open eyes he was sure he hadn't closed, and once he had, the voice spoke no more. Nothing else could be heard, and there was a rather striking reason for it that to be so. As he finally regained his vision, he could finally look around, and recognize with certainty that he was in the middle of nighttime Roppongi; completely alone.
All the stores were open, the lights were on, the big screen TVs perfectly functioning, yet not a single soul was around. Not in the streets, not in the stores, not in the houses. Reita wasn't the type to panic, or scream in fear, but he had to admit, that the whole situation was rather unsettling to say the least. His being there, the absence of anybody else … even the voice … were all beginning to feel creepy enough. Still capable of retaining his cool, after logically pondering his situation, Reita reached the only conclusion that he must have been dreaming, or having a nightmare, whichever way, the wasn't real, because he couldn’t recall any instance in which someone had opened their eyes into a dream, instead of awakening from it. His reasoning made sense, and also that was quite terrifying, for he couldn't recall ever having been so conscious of himself in a dream, and he was currently dreaming … right?
-Duh? ...- vaguely and patronizingly stated another familiar voice behind the blond --... well of course it is a dream genius ... how could any of this be real? - continued the voice, which, as he quickly turned around, he found belonging to none other than their short blond vocalist
-Ta-takanori? ...- confusedly blurt out the blond, awkwardly blinking at his band-mate, and his current choice of apparel, which was none. The vocalist was current stark naked, except for a white ever-changing cloud around his waist and crotch area stark-nakedness except for and ever-changing cloud of white smoke that was surrounding him from his waist -... why … are you … naked? … and - he dumbly question, and stopped, as he lost himself dazing at the other person standing behind Ruki, whose head was completely lowered, and whose neck was tied to a leash, which Ruki was holding
-So … you are currently in the middle of some rather disturbing dream, from which you can't seem to awake, with me holding Aoi on a leash, and that … is all you have to say?! - indignantly stated the vocalist, erratically shaking the chain-leash in the air, while glaring at the still quite confused and now entirely shocked bassist -... are you stupid?! - angrily continued the shorter, newly rattling Aoi's supposed chains, which however turned out to be truly his, as the head of the leashed being raised to reveal their second guitarist
-Hey there … - innocently smiled Aoi, nonchalantly waving at Reita, as if the fact that he was being tied to a leash like a dog was a normal thing, even though, if it weren't for the voice, the bassist had to admit that he would have had a hell of a hard time recognizing their guitarist. The face was still his but it his eyes had bags that would make an insomniac freak, his skin was so pale that the moon seemed to be blushing in comparison, and his hair could have petrified Medusa herself -... how have you been? … - dejectedly inquired Aoi, adding a brief smile at the end -... not well … as you can see ...- soon after awkwardly replied the brunette, not giving the blond a chance to even open his mouth
-Hey … I am so not fucking feeling this right now ...- perplexedly smirked the blond, still dazing at the peculiar appearances of both his band-mates -... why is Ruki keeping you on a leash? … like fore real man … this is the freakiest dream I've ever had … -
-Well … since you asked ...- condescendingly began Ruki, after which he snobbishly coughed -... I will explain, since it seems like you aren't going to wake up anytime soon- began to inform the shorter but was rather abruptly interrupted by Reita
-A-am I in a coma?!- fearfully question the blond, nervously shifting his gaze between the two men standing in front of him
-How am I supposed to know? ...- coldly replied Ruki, while sternly staring back at the blond, whom wasn't fancying either the reply or the vocalist's attitude-... now If you please allow me to finish my reply to your first question, you'll perhaps, understand what's going on, then ... we can continue your deducing game, so may I? ...- annoyingly interjected the vocalist, who then received a silent and dejected nod form the blond, to whom queasy didn't even beginning to explain how he felt at the moment. However, in spite of that, what he truly couldn’t explain, was why he still felt the urge to hear that voice again
-Thanks ...- scurvily added Ruki - I am Eros - simply stated the vocalist, taking a few steps closer to the bassist, dragging Aoi along -A-k-a Cupid, or Amor, or whatever you want to call me, but that is the role that your subconscious decided for me ...- calmly explained the shorter blond, at which Reita slowly nodded, and replied with an I have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about look -... the god of Love, but mostly sexual love Akira, wanton desire, carnal passion, incessant penetration- began to irritatingly list the vocalist, whom was promptly interrupted by the bassist as the “examples” got more and more graphic
-Okay okay … I get the picture thanks …- admonished the bassist, now shifting his gaze on the silent brunette -... So … I … set for you to be Cupid-
-Eros - instantly corrected Ruki
-Eros … - repeated Reita with a low hiss, while glaring at the vocalist, after which he shifted his gaze on Aoi -... so who is he supposed to be? … - he then inquired awaiting a reply from the person in question, but apparently, Eros didn't seem to think him capable of doing as much
-He is your heart … - simply stated the vocalist
-My … what? ...- bemusedly inquired the blond, taking a furtive glimpse at the brunette, whom flashed a pitiful and apologetic smile
-He is the per-so-ni-fi-ca-ti-on of the muscle that beats in your chest ...- peskily explained the vocalist, slowly and clearly pronouncing each syllable the word “personification” as if he were talking to someone incredibly stupid -.... this is a dream remember? Shit like this will happen so I suggest you get over it, as to your previous question, why is he on a leash, you might witness why later on - quickly added the shorter
-I like you better out of the dream world ...- bluntly expressed Reita unimpressive staring at their vocalist
-Dreams are made from your subconscious, so whichever way I am acting now, is the way you perceive me in reality smart-ass ..- challengingly retorted the shorter, stomping right under the bassist nose, and glaring up at the blond
-If that were truly to be the case, then Aoi would be the shining god of this Dream, and you chibi, would be my ass ...- angrily hissed Reita, staring down at the now smirking blond
-Oh wouldn't you love me to be ...- commented the vocalist with a pronounced grin, walking past Reita, inevitably followed by a head nodding Aoi, who seemed to be apologizing for the vocalist's behavior -... moving on ...- then announced Ruki, as Reita turned around to newly pay the vocalist the demanded attention - he is your heart, and there is something he … your heart that is … has being trying to tell you in the real world. However, apparently he … you heart ... cannot tell because your mind is not making him, which is why you have been feeling stressed and bothered lately, which is why … - suddenly paused Ruki smugly smiling at the blond -... you have been blessed with this, introspective dream …. so that you can figure shit out, and apparently, you loves us all so much, that you decided we had to be a part of this. There you have it - concluded the shorter blond, folding his arms over his bare chest
-So ...- skeptically began Reita -... you are saying that you are here to tell me the reason why I have been feeling odd lately ...- quickly summarized the bassist, receiving a silent nod from Ruki -... so what do you mean he can't tell me, will my mind kill him or something? - he laughed off
-Why don't you find for yourself?...- bluntly suggested the shorter, at which Reita resignedly shook his head for lack of better reaction to the awkwardness and madness he was currently experiencing
-Why ...- began the blond, and skeptically stopped -... why are you “giving me” problems lately? ...- laughing inquired the blond, at which Aoi, sadly looked once at Ruki, and turned back to Reita
-Because you ・・・・・and you can't admit it - replied Aoi, sentence out of which only “because you” and “and you can't admit it” were voiced. For the rest of the sentence, no sound came out of the guitarist throat
-See? ...- spitefully stated Ruki -... your mind is the one causing all of this, for as you well know, a brain is what control must of our bod, and even though our heart is an involuntary muscle, meaning it will not be able to directly stop it from beating … there is something called deceit … a means the brain can use to cause harm … especially to your heart - seriously explained Ruki, finally glimpsing at Reita
-So do I have to find out what Aoi can currently not tell me in order to wake up from this dream? Is that what you are trying to tell me? - inquired Reita, trying to mask his agitation with as much calm he could muster
-I suppose … - shrugged Ruki -... I am still just a figment of your subconscious mixed with something else that nobody has yet been able to define, I might not have an answer all the time, and I will mostly be able to answer you randomly … - calmly explained the vocalist -... in your present situation, your best bet is to recall questions regarding something incredibly recent, and I will most likely be able to answer with more accuracy -
-Isn't what I asked pertinent to this situation? Thus this immediate present - sarcastically questioned Reita, whom was slowly realizing
-You asked me about a result, a consequence … something of the future … I do not see the future - as calmly replied Ruki -... I contain a jumbled up past of yours you have no recollection of, and parts of your present you wish to forget or that you never noticed … from those I … I can predict outcomes -
-So can you predict myself getting out of this, if I find out what Aoi need to tell me ...- tried to calmly inquire the taller blond, after taking a long slow breath
-I suppose ...- was again Ruki's emotionless reply -... but this is all you have so far, so I would go with it - he then swiftly suggested, probably noticing the raging frustration on the blond's face
-Alright … so I suppose we need to get my mind and beat the shit out of it … since I am also supposing that my mind is also personified … - resignedly deduced Reita, receiving a satisfied nod by the vocalist
-Glad you are finally catching on ...- serenely replied Ruki -... your mind so happens to be Uruha … however, talking to it will be futile, and messing with it is absolutely not advised - nonchalantly added the blond vocalist
-What the fuck ...- exasperatedly whispered Reita in slight confusion, as he held his forehead with his hand, while desperately trying to get a hang of the situation -... I need for Uruha to make Aoi talk but I cannot force Uruha to do so … do you see a problem in this? - cynically questioned Reita
-Any idiot would know that messing with one's mind is a no-no Akira … - calmly replied Ruki -... and , for your previous comment, if you thought I was an ass, you should so meet your mind … - sarcastically smiled the blond -... but to get back on the issue in question …. I and your heart found another way around it, and- suddenly stopped the blond being interrupted by a fourth voice
Akira … come to me … reach for me …
-... that voice, is our key to it- calmly resumed and concluded Ruki, once the voice had delivered its message
-Alright ...- convincingly nodded Reita, inwardly cheerfully of the fact that he had been able to hear the voice again, and that said voice was also part of his way out of this dream -... where do I go, how do I get to it, left? Right? I am not too good at directions, can I listen to it again? - restlessly began to inquire the blond, lightly jumping on his spot assuming a boxer's pose
-From what we had been able to deduce … - resumed Ruki with a tired sigh -... the voice had a mind of its on, it is not part of your subconscious, and Uruha …. your brain … doesn’t control it either, however, I will ask you, and please feel free to reply me sincerely … - politely expressed the vocalist, shifting his gaze from Aoi to the Reita -... were did you think the voice come from? Please do by all means answer sincerely … - urged on Ruki, at question, Reita slowly scratched the back of his head, as he newly shifted his gaze in between the men standing in front of himself, while wondering if he should truly answer sincerely, not so much for his reply … but for what consequence would follow said reply
-From … above … like … the sky - remorsefully replied Reita, resolving to answer honestly as Ruki had suggested
-Correct … - smiled Ruki with an air of superiority, while calmly taking a few steps away from Aoi, and, before Reita, could initiate any sensible thought process, a pair of majestic white wings suddenly sprung out from the vocalist’s back, leaving the bassist with a wide opened mouth -... may I please remind you that this a dream, so do not be shocked by such things ...- reprimanded the vocalist, as he walked back to Aoi, this time stopping right beneath the man's face, on which he softly cupped a cheek looking incredibly sorrowful -... I am sorry ...- he then almost whispered, and slightly raised on his tip toes,
-It's alright don't worry, I'll be fine ...- tenderly replied Aoi as he leaned down a bit, joining the shorter in a slow kiss, which resulted in the sudden spring out of Aoi's wings; and not only
Ruki took a couple of quick step away from the second guitarist, while tightly holding the leash, as Aoi seemed to undergo a sudden transformation. The guitarist began to contort, and fold on himself in pain, some second after which, an incredibly blinding light exploded from his body, after which a perfect looking Aoi was produced. He seemed stronger, his skin color was lively, his hair in order, and his wings as big as himself
-Okay! lets do this!- energetically stated Aoi, flapping his wings in the air, and suddenly taking flight, but not going to far, as Ruki struggled really hard to hold him
-T-t-this ...- manged to hiss the blond, while trying to get Aoi down -... is one of the reasons why I have him on a leash … he is m-m-momentarily stronger than his natural self … when I give him wings!- finally exclaimed Ruki, successfully pulling Aoi down -... but given that this isn't his true power he always ends up overexerting himself, and looking like what you saw before ...- explained Ruki, as they both observed the brunette, dropping to the floor to do a series of push-ups -... the more I give him wings, the worse he becomes after the effect … to be quite honest, I believe … I could be capable of … possibly kill him as well … in many ways. In fact, I believe … that I am perhaps more dangerous than Uruha … your brain ...- painfully explained Ruki sadly staring at Aoi -… even thought I do love him so much -
-Then … can't you stop giving him wings? Or whatever it is you do to him ...- plainly inquired Reita, who was also staring at his hyperactive heart in action alongside Ruki, whom remained silent for a second, after which he turned towards Reita sadly smiling
-I cannot help loving, it is what I do … - plainly replied Ruki -... I wish I could love him without hurting him, I really do … - firmly stated the vocalist, tightening his grip around the leash -... which is why we need to follow the voice until the end, because not only you will be able to wake up … but if things go the way I speculate ...- began to explain the shorter blond, while sternly looking at Reita -... the next time I'll give him wings, he won't be hurt, he will remain in this state, and we'll both be able to eternally soar together - innocently smiled Ruki
-Alright then what are you waiting for!! Go!! If it is my permission that you need, I give you full approval! - excitedly encouraged Reita, at which Ruki merely returned his sad expression back to Aoi, whom attempted to fly off again
-You really don't think it is at easy as that right? ...- apathetically replied Ruki, at which Reita silently performed a of course it wouldn't sarcastic smile - We have tried going by ourselves lots of times before, but we obviously didn't succeed, as you could tell by Aoi's state … we need you to come with us- clearly expressed Ruki, turning towards Reita looking awfully serious
-That's alright … I guess I can stand you giving me a kiss for once, in order to save my heart, plus this is just a dream uh? ...- lightly smirked Reita, trying his best not to feel as awkward as he did at the thought of bring kissed by Ruki
-You cannot have wings - as plainly stated the vocalist -... you do not have the capability to acquire any, even if I kissed you … I was meant to be with your heart, and with him together we work as one … you … are the key to all of this, but unfortunately your role is quite the ungrateful and painful one ...- firmly continued Ruki - … if you finally chose to follow us, once we finally reach our destination it will hurt … I am not too sure how much … but it will -
-But … in doing so, my heart will be saved, and the two of you will be happy ever after? - tentatively inquired Reita, glimpsing at Aoi, who wildly smiled, and swiftly pointed a thumb up sign towards him -
-I suppose so ...- plainly replied Ruki, making the blond resignedly and loudly sigh, wishing that for once he could receive a more certain answer, but that would have been too much to ask for from his subconscious right?
-Well, I don't see any other way of doing this at the moment … so I guess I might as well ...- he once again sighed, and turned up to look at the night time sky, which was beginning to slowly lighten up - … so how do I get the-- oooh, what the! - shockingly shouted the blond, as he found himself suddenly levitate from a few centimeters from the ground, at which he snapped his head towards Ruki, whose eyes were fixed on him and had suddenly turned a mesmerizing bright blow, and were also glowing, as his wings flapped, with Aoi's lifting them both of the ground
-I did previously tell you not to be too shocked about things that will happen here did I not? ...- calmly stated Ruki, not wavering his gaze from a still wide-eyed Reita, whom was still too bemused and amazed too how much this just didn't feel like a dream at all. Then, before he could even try to ask Ruki once more if he really was dreaming, the vocalist began to speak again -... please baby, can you take over for me for a second? - kindly instructed Ruki, at which Aoi nodded, and turned his gaze on Reita, while doing so, his eyes turned a bright glowing green, and as he suddenly moved his head to the right and upwards, Reita was shoved in the same direction
-Oo~i! Shiit! Take it easy there Clark Kent! The fuck … - loudly whined Reita, suddenly feeling his stomach upside-down, as he tried to reach for imaginary objects in the air, to try and keep himself steady
-S-sorry ...- innocently laughed Aoi, with a big smile while scratching the back of his head -... I can never get used to my strength in this form hehehe - he then apologetically explained
-Just keep him still there, until I finish babe … - kindly instructed Ruki, at which Aoi instantly nodded, shoving Reita up and down in the process
-Aoi!! - angrily bellowed Reita, clenching his fist at the incredibly apologetic looking guitarist, who was about to nod in sign of further apology -DON'T! Don't. Nod. You are sorry … I get it … just, do as Eros says ..stay still … please … stay still ...- strongly requested Reita, stopping the brunette from performing any action
Once the commotion was over, Ruki's eyes newly glowed, as he turned his head towards the sky, while lifting both hands up. Then, opening his palms to the sky, he strongly pulled his arms forward as if he were spinning a huge roulette, the effects of such movements making Reita's mouth fall open in extreme stupor; this whole “we are in a dream” thing just wasn't getting old at all. Everything around them started rotating, until it stopped at a point in which the sky was now beneath them, and Roppongi was turned upside-down above their head -You will fall into our destination - seriously stated Ruki, as he his eyes turned their brown color, while he lowered his head back to an even more troubled looking Reita
-Fall?!?!?!? ...- yelled the blond -... Like free falling into nowhere?! - instantly added Reita, blinking at Ruki, whom silently nodded once
-You will have to fall into our destination, and the impact with it is what will hurt ...- calmly explain Ruki
-What? What?! WHAT?! - exasperatedly exclaimed Reita trying to make sense of what he was just told
-The sky is lightening, thus it will be morning soon, meaning that Uruha will find us in the process, and try to stop your fall, Aoi will try to stop him as well, but hopefully Uruha will not get to us, but I can't guarantee, because he … your brain … is quite clever, in addition, as we fall, you are going to hear millions of other voices all at ones, calling you and asking for you to reach them, so be careful, you must reach for the right one before falling into our destination ...-
-W-why … - dejectedly whispered Reita -... why? what would happen if I reached for the wrong voice? …god someone wake me up please … - he then exasperatedly added
-I do not know the answer to said question ...- calmly replied Ruki -... all I know is that it would be something bad - swiftly added the vocalist
Akira … please hurry, reach for me ...
Newly called the voice, at which Aoi began to stir up, and before Reita could be tossed around as a result, Ruki had taken back the bassist under his own eyes-control, while trying to use all his strength to keep Aoi from chasing the voice -So, will you? -
Silently looking at Ruki and Aoi for a bit, Reita then lowered his head to stare at the sky beneath himself. In all honesty, he didn't like the idea period. He hated heights, and always avoided rides that were vertical, thus free falling had never been in his agenda. Moreover, the fact that he would have felt the impact didn't make the situation any more enticing, if not the complete opposite.
Akira … if you choose to … you will be able to reach for me …
But the voice seemed to bring out courage in him he didn't know he possessed, as he abandoned himself to be completely enveloped by his urge to reach for it.
-I don't know why I am doing this … I really … there is such a huge part of me saying that I shouldn't- he began to calmly reply
-That is probably Uruha's influence ...- coldly replied Ruki
-... but there is also another side of me that really wants me to go ...- he continued, trying his best to make a decision
-That is probably Aoi's influence ...- added Ruki, still joggling in-between his control of both Reita and Aoi -... but the final decision … for this case at least … is up to you - plainly remarked Ruki -... and unfortunately Akira we don't have much time so ... will you fall? - newly inquired Ruki
-The heck … - finally sighed Reita in dejected resignation after a few minutes of silence, as he observed the bright pink and orange colors that were beginning to mix with the previously dark blue -... I never not finish a movie once I start so … yeah … - sadly laughed Reita -... I guess ... I will ...- whispered Reita, looking up at a silent Ruki, while hoping in best -... I will fall -
>^... Second Part...^<
AN: Wow~ That was a trip! My first surreal one shot (Well it has a second part, but it is coming up, since I am on vacation now). So what will happen when he falls? Where is he falling into? I guess there is really no mystery regarding the owner of the voice by now but … what is going on? Hope you enjoyed reading, as much as I always enjoy writing. Thanks a lot, and see you on the second part.
[Also, if you happened to have read Yutaka's Best Friend, I was finally convinced into making a sequel, it will be called A Part Of Him, so what out for that. And House of Sin just gained another chapter, I am working on it, have to adjust a few things, but it will be up soon as well. Thank a lot again.]
Much Love
