Hamsterventure

+++

 Slowly Levin opened his eyes.......and let them drift shut again. He felt  perfectly warm and safe in his soft bed that was smelling so pleasantly – he inhaled deeply once. This was weird. It didn’t smell like at home, though it smelled cosy.

Something tickled Levin’s nose. No. That didn’t feel right, it wasn’t his nose that got tickled, it was....

Levin’s eyes snapped open. After taking a squinting look at his nose, he fainted.

Someone nuzzled at his neck.......then shook his shoulders....like from far off he heard a voice, sounding insistent. Levin opened his eyes – he stared, he blinked – once....twice....then he screamed, flailing his arms wildly as he tried to push the gigantic hamster looming over him.

“Hey, stop it! Stop! Calm down damn you!” The hamster spoke. The hamster spoke!?

Levin stopped struggling and stared up at the huge white and brown-furred creature.

“You....you can speak?”

The hamster seemed to smirk. “I could ask you the same.”

“huh?” puzzled Levin observed the hamster – it had a kinda mean gleam in its eyes.

But apart from that – and its size – it looked rather cute with its small round ears, the whiskered snout. The drummer frowned. Whiskers – something about those seemed familiar.

“You haven’t realised it yet, ne. Well then, look at yourself.”

A bit hesitant Levin looked down – and nearly would have fainted again hadn’t the hamster – the – OTHER – hamster grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard.

As Levin finally had calmed down enough so he didn’t faint the white and brown hamster sat down next to him in the heap of hay.

“So, who are you really?”

Levin pouted cutely at the rudeness of the other not introducing himself first. “I’m Levin – drummer of La’Cryma Christi!”

“Aha – so this doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that we are here.”

Levin looked puzzled. “What do you mean? Who are you?”

“I’m Kyo – from Dir en Grey.”

The hamster Levin’s eyes brightened. “Oh – you’re the cute vocalist who tries to look scary!”

Never before had a hamster looked more demonic and threatening than now as Kyo glared at Levin, baring his teeth, and his fur bristling. But Levin seemed completely oblivious of that, grabbed Kyo’s paw in his and pumped it vigorously. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Kyo- san.”

Kyo jerked his paw free, making Levin pout.

“Cut the crap – looks like we’re in deep shit.”
“Uh – why?”

Kyo rolled his eyes – or tried to, it felt weird doing it as a hamster. “ Well, lets put it like this – how do you think you will be able to play your drums looking like this?”

Blinking puzzled Levin looked down at his paws. “Oh.......” Suddenly he jumped up onto his hindelegs, nearly loosing his balance, then dropping down on all fours again. “Oh no, oh no!!” He started running up and down, then in a nervous circle round Kyo and the bunched up hay he was sitting on. “we’re on  a tour right now! We’ve got to play tomorrow!! What am I gonna do?! I’ve got to turn back – right now.......what if it’s already morning??”

“Well, it’s light outside so I guess it IS already morning. Though,” he added, “I have no idea where we are.”

Kyo had watched his nervous companion run around frantically and slowly an evil grin started to form on his furry face. As Levin passed by him he suddenly put out a paw making Levin stumble and fall, admittedly softly, on the sawdustcovered floor, all fours sprawled. The little hamster blinked surprised, then sniffed and suddenly burst out crying. “What am I gonna doooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! They’ll never want a hamster in the band!!!”

Cringing at the wailing voice Kyo punched the already downtrodden creature lightly.

“Stop that! Your wailing wont help.”

Out of huge, teary eyes the other hamster looked up at him. If a hamster had lips his would have quivered right now. “You’re MEAN!”

Kyo only smirked. “That I am, and NOT kaxxxi”

Disbelieving Levin stared at him, Kyo stared back. “Ok, now that you’ve calmed down we can turn to the problems at hand....paw.  We – two humans, male, Japanese rock-musicians to be more precise – were turned into hamsters. we’re in a cage at an unknown place....and though this sounds like a dream it’s not.”

With his innocent button-eyes the drummer looked at Kyo. “You sure?”

The other man growled “Yes I’m sure. This doesn’t feel like a dream, it feels real – like I can feel every hair on my body. And there are too much for a human body – plus, I’ve never dreamt of you before!”

A look of concentration crossed Levin’s features as he thought hard. “Ano.......actually I’ve dreamt of you before. I was at this toystore when suddenly....”

“I – don’t – want – to – know,” growled the vocalist.

Levin pouted – as well as this was possible to do in his condition.

“But it was a very interesting dream.”

“We have no time for dreams, we’ve got to try to get back. Though first I think we should get out of this cage to take a look as to where we are. Perhaps we can find something  - some device or such to turn us back.” Kyo got up and started to climb down to the – for lack of a better word Kyo thought of it as – ground floor.

With a little squeal Levin scurried after him. “Wait – ouch.” He bundled right into Kyo’s back, nearly making the other hamster loose his footing and slithering down the pipe. “Be careful back there!” he shouted.

“Gomen nasai Kyo-san, ” Levin’s head bobbed up and down as he tried tow bow, “but do you think maybe some mad scientist abducted us and turned us into hamsters so....so he could use us as his guinea pigs?”

Despite himself Kyo gave Levin’s idea some serious thought. “Noooo, don’t think so. This cage doesn’t look like one they would use in labs, much to colourful. And how would he have gotten us out of our homes.......” Though this made Kyo wonder HOW exactly they had gotten here – wherever here was.

“Well – maybe he found a way to....to beam us out.” Levin said seriously.

“To what?” Having finally reached the lowest level of the cage Kyo turned round to stare at the other hamster.

“Mou, don’t you know Star Trek?”

“No and now shut up with this nonsense. Of all the people there are I’ve got to be stuck in this damn cage with you.”

Levin’s little hamster – throat contracted as he swallowed hard. “Why are you so mean to me?” The big black eyes that were fixed accusingly on Kyo slowly started to water.

It made Kyo cringe in disgust – but it made him soften too.

“Ok, look I’m sorry. The whole situation just gets at me. See, I want to be transformed back to my real body as  much as you.”

“Hontou?”

“Yes. Now lets see if we manage to get out of here.”” Turning round he marched to one of the cages plastic walls.

Rushing after him Levin bumped into Kyo as the other hamster stopped. “Uh....sorry. What should I do?” He wriggled his nose. It felt weird but his whiskers seemed to itch whenever they brushed against something.

“A cage has to have some sort of exit – and we’re gonna find it.”

Levin looked round. His hamstervision was strange, specially when he tried to see what was further away. It was all distorted in a way. He looked up, and blinked. He tried to squint and make his vision better, but it didn’t help any. “Ano....Kyo-san....”

“What is it?” Busily the vocalist prodded at a crack that looked promising. If only he had hands instead of these useless claws.

“What is that?”

“What is what?” Slightly annoyed Kyo looked back at Levin, then looked up like the drummer was doing – and squealed – rather undignified.

Something huge and black loomed over the cage. Kyo stared frozen in shock as the something leaned closer and closer – then there was a click and the cage opened. There was – a voice. Kyo  felt himself putting his head back as far as possible to look up – though he didn’t really want to know how huge –it- was. High up there he could make out – a face. This was a human wearing black clothes....a girl? The hamster wasn’t sure for he couldn’t make his eyes focus properly on the face. And the voice – he tried to make out what the human was saying but though he was sure the voice was only slightly distorted by his hamster-hearing he couldn’t make out a word. It didn’t sound like Japanese at all.

“Kyo! Kyo! Kyo!” Levin raced to his side and prodded him with his nose. “Are you alright? This sounds as if she was speaking English. Perhaps we’re not even in Japan anymore!”

Kyo blinked than tried to push Levin away who hadn’t stopped  prodding his side annoyingly. But he didn’t yell at him again lest he started crying again. “You can understand what she says?”

This made the drummer look slightly embarrassed. “Ano, no, but it sounds like English! I’m sure, I’ve seen lots of subtitled Star Trek episodes so I know!”

“Ok – well it doesn’t matter  for now, though it would have been helpful to know what she's saying. Let’s try to get out of here.” He ran – or rather scurried on his tiny legs – to where the girl had just opened a small door in the cage. Freedom was close. To his satisfaction the vocalist heard Levin following right behind him. Good – he didn’t want to loose his chance cause the other was to stupid and slow. And though he tried to be evil and mean Kyo would not be able to leave the kxxxxi drummer turned hamster behind. But never would he openly admit to that.

Kyo wriggled through the small door. He was out – now they had to hide quickly before the.......suddenly a huge (from a hamsters POV) hand grabbed him and picked him up. He squealed, legs moving frantically, trying to get some ground under his feet – paws - again.

His heart was beating like madly with fear.

Levin just managed to get out of the cave as Kyo got lifted off. Panicked the tiny hamster screamed. “Kyo! Don’t leave me!!”

Suddenly Kyo was standing again – though on something warm and soft and.... he looked down, whiskers brushing against the uneven ground. He was standing on a hand, attached to a blacksleeved arm. Looking up he stared into a face that seemed huge to a little hamster like him.

Kyo glared. He would not be intimidated! “Don’t you dare drop me! Or make any sudden movements!” A second hand came to hover over him and a finger gently stroked over Kyo’s hamster-head. “Aks – stop that! I’m not a cute little hamster!” But the girl didn’t seem to hear him – or rather, she didn’t understand him, since to humans ears what Kyo said only sounded like cute squealing sounds.

For a moment Kyo contemplated to bite the hand he was sitting on, but then decided against it, for he had to grudgingly admit that the gentle caress felt rather comfortable. Wistfully he thought of a different hand caressing him.... and surpressed a shiver. He had to change back....or get back to his body, since the more he was thinking about it the more likely it seemed to him that not his body was changed but he himself had been switched into this tiny body. Even if this did sounded as weird.

While being caressed Kyo  took the time to observe his surroundings from his high up perch. Better use the chance to look for clues – or escape-routs.  The room they were in seemed colourfully decorated with lots of posters, but to his dismay Kyo had to find out that it wasn’t so easy to adjust his vision to see all that was farther away clearly. He could make out the general shape of things but the hamstervision didn’t seem all to good at details. He stared hard, trying to make the blur to clear to straight lines and.......he blinked. Something familiar had caught his eyes. “That’s.......me. That’s ME!!!! Damn!” His eyes had caught on the biggest fanart he had ever seen – the thing seemed to be livesized and showed him in his red costume with the black wide belt and black embroidered dragon.

Kyo felt hard pressed to resist the urge to bounce up and down.

Now that he knew what he might be looking at he could guess what the other posters in the room showed. There were some from their last calendar, he recognised clearly now the one of Toshiya in fake womanly curves draped once in white and then in black thin fabric. He remembered the feel of it in his hands as Toshiya had teased him to unwrap him....... Kyo sighed.

Down on the ground Levin had stared up at Kyo, the he looked round frantically, trying to see what got Kyo so exited, but the cage was in the way. He searched for something to climb onto and his gaze fell on the other plastic cage beside the one Kyo and he had been in. Carefully he moved over to it, pressing his nose against a transparent wall. What might be in there....... Suddenly another hamstery face appeared right in front  of him. Levin squealed shocked and scrambled back.

With its tiny claws the hamster in the cage scratched at the wall, apparently trying to get out. On a first impulse Levin wanted to run away and hide, preferably behind Kyo, but then he hesitated.

“Uh....hello? Can you understand me?” He tried to bow politely – realising that a hamster’s body was not built for formalities. “La’Cryma Christi no Levin desu.”

In response to his words the hamster on the other side of the cage started bouncing cutely.

“Wah, really, oh gosh I’m so glad I’m not alone here. Oh excuse me.” The hamster started bowing – or rather just bounced up and down more furious. “How rude of me. Emiru desu.” Then he added. “I was the bassist of Lareine.”

Levin’s eyes brightened. “Oh so you’re another musician. Kyo said that might be a reason why this happened to us you know.”

“Kyo?” Emiru put his head to one side.

“Oh he’s the vocalist of Dir en Grey. He’s here too.” He moved his head in a pointing manner upward to where Kyo still sat on the humans hand.

“You mean that cute little vocalist – Ah I know what we have all in common!” Emiru started bouncing up and down again on his side of the cage. “Not only are we musicians but we’re all CUTE!!!”

Emiru had no idea how lucky he was that Kyo was to engrossed in observing the room they were in, that he didn’t hear the bouncy hamsters squealed words.

Kyo had come to a conclusion after he found posters of DEG and what looked like other Jrock-bands (curse the hamstervision he couldn’t make out who they showed for certain) plus some Manga posters. He was in the hand of a fan – he looked down – literally speaking. Probably he was lucky she didn’t know who he was. Though.... The hamsters gaze fell onto the huge drawing of himself – and he smiled smugly. A fan with very good taste, so if she knew.... A vision formed in Kyo’s mind, of himself being worshipped like a god, sitting on a dark throne made for him, attended to with great reference, his every wish fulfilled. The only thing that turned the sweet fantasy sour was that the body Kyo was sitting on the throne in was that of a hamster.... A small, kaxxxx hamster. And the only other person he could talk to was oh so sweet and cute Levin. Kyo started to fume. This was not funny, whoever was responsible for his current condition would pay dearly. Turning him into a small furry animal – cute – pah – he would show the world how – cute – this hamster was NOT.

“.............Kyo.......”

The vocalist turned hamster froze. Damn. He hadn’t heard the girl call his name right now, had he....no he had, he was sure of it. How did she know!!!! Slowly he turned round and looked up at the huge face, staring hard into the human eyes, but found no spark of recognition there. Perhaps he really just had imagined....NO, there, he heard it again, he was certain of it now, He had been called by his name....the hamster had been called by his name. An idea struck him.

Suddenly the hand he stood on moved again and Kyo surpressed the urge to dig his tiny claws into it. Carefully he was sat down beside Levin again.

“Levin, I think I have an idea why we are here. I mean not really why but – maybe it explains some of this....uff!”

Levin bounced onto him, ”I’m glad you’re back!”

Growling Kyo tried to shove Levin off of himself. “Get off me!”

 But the enthusiastic drummer didn’t listen but tried to hug Kyo with his short paws.

“Emiru had an idea too.......”

“Who?”

“- the other hamster – that is he isn’t really a hamster like us but was turned into one like us, and he said it was us three because we’re all really cute!”

“WHAT!” Kyo’s eyes seemed to almost glow and anger threatened to burst out of his little body. Cute! He was NOT cute, not even when he was trapped in the body of a small pet-rodent. His fur bristled and he slowly raised himself on his hind-legs to glare down at Levin – who looked innocently up at him.

Suddenly human fingers closed carefully round Levin’s tiny body and he was picked up and the girl sat him on her hand like Kyo before.

The drummer turned hamster squealed and ran in a tight circle round the hand, looking for an escape. Finding no way back to the ground he cowered at the hands edge, gazing down at Kyo in despair. “Kyo! Help me! Please!”

Kyo had laughed a manic-hamster-laugh as Levin got picked up. That’s what he got for calling him cute.  With a pleased smirk he watched Levin and the hand raising up slowly, Levin looking at him for help, his cute hamster-face showing his panic clearly, eyes fixed pleadingly on Kyo, boring into him.... Levin was looking at him for help, trusting in him that he would....and could do something. As if he was the only one who could.......the only one.... Kyo shifted uncomfortable as the gaze made him think of Toshiya. The way the bassist looked at him as if he were the only one for him.... Kyo felt something tighten round his chest. He had to get back!

And he couldn’t  let Levin alone like that. “Damn,” he mumbled into his chestfur.

“Just keep still, nothing is going to happen to you! The girl wont eat you!”

Levin whimpered, Kyo’s words not reassuring him.

Kyo sighed. “Look, I was put down again too....and....” he hesitated a bit, despising himself for what he was going to say now, but Levin’s pleading eyes....... It was so plain to see how the timid hamster put all his trust in him. “.......and you’re so cute noone could do you any harm!”

Levin’s snout quivered and he sniffed touched. “Hontou? You really think so?!”

“Yes, really. So now just stay calm and don’t move round to much. She wont let you fall or anything, just wants to pet you a little since you are so cute.”

The words made Levin beam, and he even managed to not scream again as he was gently padded but even pushed his head against the finger rubbing over his furry head in an affectionate way.  “Ohhh, that feels good.”

“I know .” Kyo admitted, but not too loudly lest Levin might hear his confession. Then he added for the other hamsters ear. “While you’re up there you should take a look around, you will be quite surprised.”

Obediently Levin looked round – and soon after squeals of delight echoed down from his high perch as he too recognised what was on the posters decorating the room.

Kyo turned to observe the room from, what he now knew, was a chest in the room, when he suddenly heard an insistent knocking from behind himself. He turned round and spotted what had to be Emiru who Levin talked about. The one who had called him cute. But Kyo decided to ignore the insult for now for the sake of getting information from their fellow changed hamster.

Emiru bounced up and down excitedly and tried to wave at the same time. Shaking his head Kyo approached the plastic wall Emiru was behind of. Was he the only sane one around here?

“Emiru desu.” This was accompanied by many energetic bounces. “You’re Kyo-chan, neeee!”

Kyo smiled – that is, one could mistake his teethbaring expression as a smile. Little Emiru at least didn’t know how lucky he was to be inside the cage at the moment.

“Yes, I’m Kyo.”

“Oh you don’t know how lonely and scared I was here, thinking I was the only one trapped here. But now there’s you and Levin-chan, so everything looks brighter already. I thought I now had to stay the rest of my life a hamster in this cage. First I believed I did something wrong and now this is my punishment, but since you’re here too maybe it’s cause we’re so cute....” Kyo’s whiskers quivered slightly at the word, but Emiru babbled on without taking a breath “....and hamsters are cute, so that makes sense, ne.”

“No.”

“What?”

“I said – No – It doesn’t make any sense.”

Wide-eyed Emiru stared at him. “You....you’re mean!” Pouting he turned his back on Kyo.

“Yes, I’m mean – and not kaxxxx! But the reason for us being here has nothing to do with that. This place belongs to a Jrock fan – and one with very good taste,” he had to ad thinking of the huge drawing of himself decorating the room. “And I think that we’ve not really been turned into hamsters but these hamsters existed already and we just – switched bodies.”

While Kyo spoke Emiru slowly turned around again, apparently fascinated by Kyo’s theory.

“But why do you think so? And does that mean that now hamsters are occupying our bodies.”

“Well, I don’t know – maybe.” The thought settled rather uncomfortable in Kyo’s mind cause who knew what a hamster in his body might do. “And I thought of this cause the girl was calling me, that is the hamster, by my name. And I’m sure she didn’t know that this hamster is really me.”

“But....but then she can’t help us either. How are we going to get back into our bodies then?” Emiru looked close to panic while Kyo gritted his teeth. “I don’t know. But we’ll find a way!”

At that moment Levin was sat down beside Kyo again. Eagerly he climbed down the hand and rushed over to Kyo. “Wah, you were right, this was fun! And there were so many posters of you and your band – and lots of hide-san too!” Affectionately the little hamster pushed his head against the vocalists furry body, and grudgingly Kyo even let him without protesting. Who knew how long he would be stuck with Levin and Emiru, he better get used to their bouncy, genki and cute >.< attitude.

“Ok, Levin. Could you please stop that for a moment and think. As you got caressed, did that girl call you by your name?” Kyo inquired.

To Kyo’s relieve Levin stopped rubbing his head against his body and thought hard. “Uh, now that you ask, yes she did.” His eyes suddenly grew wide as he realised what that implied. “Kyo, does that mean she knows who I am? That....that she’s behind all this?”

“Actually, no. To me she didn’t look like she was, you know, recognising me. She treated me just like a human would treat a normal hamster. So what I think is that.......” Kyo explained what he had told Emiru before. Worried Levin gazed at the two hamsters after Emiru had piped in that now probably the real hamsters where occupying their human bodies.

“I really hope this hamster knows how to play drums or otherwise my other band-members will be really angry with me.”

Kyo laughed at the thought. “I think if it’s really like Emiru says than this should be the least of their problems. Cause I doubt the hamster in your body can even talk.”

Pouting Levin looked at Kyo, but instead of starting to sob he stomped one of his tiny legs. “This is not funny! They will think I’ve gone mad or something and lock me up.” His fur bristled slightly and he sounded rather determined. “We’ve got to get back, now!”

T I C K

To his surprise Kyo found himself putting a reassuring paw around Levin’s shoulders, or where his shoulders where approximately located. “You’re really cute. But don’t worry, we’ll find a way. I don’t want a hamster run around with my body and cause havoc either.”

Emiru piped in “They would think you’ve gone mad and no longer think you were cute, ne?!”

Instead of feeling the wish to murder the other hamster Kyo only sighed, thinking of Toshiya. “Yes....”

T A C K

Suddenly there was a short flash of light.

Emiru blinked and tried to clear the bright spots still dancing in front of his vision. As he could see clearly again he saw the two hamsters outside his cage sniffing at the ground, all intelligence from their eyes vanished.

“Ano....guys?! Levin-chan....Kyo –chan?” He got no reaction from the two hamsters who seemed to be just that again – hamsters.

Cowering down on the ground Emiru buried his face between his paws. He was alone again. For a long time he had wished to be left alone by all the other people, then he had quit the band and was able to enjoy his new solitary life but now.

“I don’t want to be alone any longer. It feels awful to be alone, it’s worse than being trapped in a hamsters body in this cage – as long as Kyo-chan and Levin-chan were there it wasn’t so bad. Even if Kyo was rather mean.......It still was better to have their company than to be all alone again.... What am I going to do now???” He sobbed, nose buried into his chestfur.

T I C K

There was another short flash of light.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Levin opened his eyes – he held his breath as he flexed his fingers then carefully moved his head to one side. The room was immersed in darkness, but he could make out shapes – a nightstand with a lamp on it, a wardrobe....another bed.

“Oh no....” he sat up abruptly and looked down at his body – his body, his human body – but the room he was in wasn’t his. It was completely unfamiliar. Then his gaze fell on the other bed in the room....and the shape cuddled under a blanket in it. Levin sighed with relieve as he remembered. Of course – they were on tour and this was just a hotel-room and on the bed over there was Hiro.

He was back in his body, in his world again. Smiling Levin sank back into the cushions. Everything was alright again. He stared up at the dark ceiling....blinked....pulled his blanket further up so only his eyes and hair peeked out. What if it would happen again?

He suddenly sat up again, grabbed his pillow got out of bed and over to where Hiro slept. Chewing at his bottom lip Levin gazed down at the sleeping man.

Oh what the heck – he would just do it. And if Hiro asked what had gotten into him that he sneaked into his bed at night he would finally admit to his long harboured fantasy. Hiro’s reaction couldn’t be much scarier than being trapped in a hamsters body.

With that resolve Levin slipped under the bedsheets, cuddling up to the taller man, sighing contentedly as he felt the warm body right next to himself. Daring he put an arm around the slim body and pulled him slightly closer.

Yes – he would finally admit to his fantasy of having Hiro as his huge living cuddly plushie.

Unseen in the darkness a smile spread on ?sleeping? Hiro’s lips.

+ +

Kyo sat up with a start. He let out a shivering breath. Damn that had been creepy. He looked down checking his hands – yes hands, no longer claws. Just to be on the safe side he drew back the blanket. Yep, everything was normal down there too.

 A protesting mewling sound from beside him got his attention. Only half awake Toshiya tried to get away from the cool draft that came in from the side of the covers Kyo had lifted and brushed against his tender skin. On an impulse Kyo suddenly snuggled closer to his lover and tugged the blanket back around himself. He curled up against his chest, head buried under the taller mans chin  - not caring for the cuteness of it. Groggily Toshiya looked at his suddenly so affectionate lover. “Kyo – you all right?”

“Sure, what should be wrong – just woke up and felt cold….could you hug me?”

Toshiya blinked surprised – the sweet request sounding so weird from the scary monster his lover usually tried to be. But he decided not to prod less Kyo decided to change his mind. Strong arms snaked round Kyo’s smaller body and Toshiya hugged him close, burriying his face in the vocalists pale hair. “As you wish, my Kyo-chan…” Toshiya stopped himself – damn - he knew Kyo hated it when he was called like that – so Toshiya avoided it – though when thinking about his lover he always used the affectionate term. Toshiya dreaded the vocalists outburst and the end of the sweet cuddling session, though to his surprise Kyo only gave a small contented sigh.

The bassists eyes widened somewhat. “uh…Kyo…really everything is alright, you can tell me, ne.”

“yes, everything is fine…I just – thought about stuff and changed my mind – you can call me Kyo-chan if you like to…” Taking one of Toshiya’s hands Kyo pulled it to where his heart was and cradled it against his chest.

A wide smile spread on Toshiya’s lips “ All right – my Kyo-chan.” He gave the vocalist a short kiss on the forehead, then settled back into the blankets.

Kyo thought about it – this was definitely better – allowing to be called cute as a human once in a while – and acting what others would think of as cute -  than trying to be a scary hamster.

After some time he added though. “But you call me that only when we’re alone!”

Toshiya already was blissfully asleep again.

Somewhere completely else*

The scene is a snow-covered mountain surrounded by even more mountains, and on it a small hut. What could be seen of it from underneath the snow was painted – pink. O.o The wooden –pink - shutters in front of the windows were closed and displayed hearts cut into the wood through which a small amount of light reached inside the hut.

The whole building looked like a sugar-shock nightmare.

Suddenly the door opened and out stepped ....... bounced Emiru, dressed in a short frilly black, pink and white dirndl, his hair in two plaits framing his cute pouty face. On his head he wore a similar coloured bonnet. He smiled as brightly as the snow gleaming in the sun and took a deep breath of the cold air....the suddenly started shivering and quickly stepped back into the hut, closing the door behind himself. Those sexy short dresses were definitely not made for that climate. He bounced up and down to get warm again. But this wouldn’t stop him, his resolve was made – he would go back. This nightmare – or whatever it had been – had opened his eyes. He no longer wanted to be alone and make music just for himself. He would go back to Japan, screw Kamijo and Lareine.......hm.......screw Kamijo, now that was an interesting thought. And then....then....well, he would have to see what he would do next then when he was there.

He grabbed his backbag, took a deep breath of the warm air in the hut and stepped out into the cold again.

But since this was not all that happened that night....

Die woke up with a start – his chest heaving as he stared up at the ceiling. That had been the worst nightmare he had ever had. He had been a little goldfish in a bowl and swam round and round…and as if that hadn’t been bad – well mainly utterly boring cause everything he could see of the world outside was distorted by the glass – suddenly a huge – well to goldfishsized Die it had seemed huge – cat had appeared right in front of him, looking into the water from above. And then the real nightmare had begun – the cat had tried to get him. It had dipped it’s paw into the water and tried to catch Die who had no other chance than to swim in circles – or try to dive as deep as possible and hope the cat’s paw couldn’t reach  - he remembered he had hit his head on the ground with this manoeuvre – and as he came to he was drifting right at the surface, the cat staring at him from closeby – very closeby – Die had been able to feel it’s breath rippling the water – and it had licked its lips ever so slowly…Die shivered as he remembered all to clearly. If a fish could scream, at that moment, Die would have.  Somehow he managed to escape back down into the water again, but the cat hadn’t been satisfied – it went on chasing him – and Die had that dreadful feeling that the cat was only playing with him, teasing him, but that it could snatch him out of the glass any time it wanted. And then it had started running round the fishbowl in tight circles, making the it rock dangerously and Die had wished for nothing more than something to hold on to…. His arms tightened around his lover who lay beside him…he looked at Shinya and pulled him closer. Gods he was so glad everything was over and it was only a dream – though it had felt damn real… not even his worst enemy he would wish an experience like that.

Guiltily he suddenly gazed down at Shinya….remembering how he loved to corner his young lover and prod and tease… if Shinya felt like he had in his dream? He vowed he would stop teasing Shinya from now on – at least he would stop the bad teasing he conceded, he knew Shinya enjoyed to be teased a little once in a while but – sometimes he seemed to get really distressed by it but Die couldn’t bring himself to stop. But this would change now, he vowed. He didn’t want his Shinya to feel as terrible as he had in his nightmare.

With that resolve easing his mind he closed his eyes – missing completely the sweet smile on Shinya’s lips and how the young man licked his lips like a contented cat.

Notes:

*Actually think Austrian Alps here – Emiru’s whereabouts are based on a joke my friend and me have about what Emiru is doing now since after he quit Lareine no more traces of him can be found in “Jrock-world” (at least I haven’t read anything bout him)

Ok, hope you liked the fic, Comments – anyone? They would be really appreciated. *looks begging* and spur me on to write more on my other fics – and finish those!
