chapter 1.

Yusuke Izaki lay on his bed, his mind free of thoughts and just about to take a nap. Just when his eyelids were getting heavy, his bronze haired brother woke him up. "Yusuke, did you hear?" Yusuke, now wide awake, hoisted himself up and sat on his bed, leaning his back against the wall. He yawned. "Hear what, Hisato?" Hisato, with an apologetic grin on his face replied. "FLAME's going to the US!"

People stared and fans screamed as the two tall Izaki twins, along with Kaneko Kyohei and Kitamura Yu walked to their airplane departure gate. When all four of them were comfortable in the cushioned chairs, they all got out something to do during the longggg trip ahead. They sat in pairs, Yusuke and Yu, Hisato and Kyohei. Yu and Kyohei settled down to get some rest, for they hadn't gotten much, but the Izaki kyoudai didn't. Rather, they took out their CD players, and began to listen to music. Yusuke relaxed and closed his eyes as the music flowed through his ears.

A LONGGG time later, they were standing in the airport again, but this time in America. The whole group was a lot happier now that there weren't millions of fans yelling at them for autographs and chasing and stalking them. They walked around, trying to read signs and other boards. They arrived at the hotel they would be staying at, in New York City, and Yusuke and Hisato decided to go out and look around.

Wearing dark jackets over their short sleeves, they headed out the hotel towards the street. They walked around, looking at the different shops, stores, restaurants, cafes, stops, stands, etc. They were casually walking around, when Yusuke bumped into a person. "Ah, gomen na--" he started to say, but forgot he was in America and they wouldn't understand. "sai." the girl that bumped into him said. "Umm.. excuse.. me?" The girl in a black and white sweater a little too big for her and dark, almost black jeans with her light brown medium length hair tied up with a white ribbon giggled. "Hey. I'm Ayumi." She stuck her hand out, so he could shake it. The tall and very handsome guy looked down at her, with a confused look on his face. She looked at the identical guy next to him and figured they must be brothers. She put her hand back in her pocket. "Ano..Ayumi desu. Takahashi Ayumi desu. Konnichiwa." The tall blonde's eyes brightened, and he immediately answered, "Konnichiwa, Izaki Yusuke desu." Then she faced the blonde's brother, who was also a blonde, and smiled sweetly. He quietly said. "Izaki Hisato desu."
