Part 2 ~ kanawanu yume jimen ni hayaku chiribame ~

"Kaoru...." Toshiya murmured again and inched closer to the other man's

face. Nervously he bit down on his lower lip, then closed his eyes as

his lips met Kaoru's soft ones. His heart jumped as he heard the

guitarist moan and pressed closer against his body, his thin arms wrapping

around the other's waist.

//I can't do this//, Kaoru's mind screamed, as he deepened the kiss,

their tongues dancing together. //He only wants to play and you know

that, for goodness sake!// Carefully he pulled away, ignoring the protest

he got from Toshiya. //Maybe not, maybe he MEANS it//, his heart spoke

up. Sadly, Kaoru shook his head and laughed in great self-mockery. //Oh

yeah, as if someone could actually care for an ugly bastard like you!//

( oh yes kaoru-sama....whatever you say....*lol* )

"Kaoru..."

Toshiya's voice, full of longing, finally reached his mind. "What is it,

Toshiya? Thought the leader-sama would be a good fuck for once since

there's no one else?", he asked, trying to hide his hurt deep down in his

heart. "I am sorry then, because I won’t be your next victim....I'm not

that easy.....", with this he abruptly turned around and walked out of

the room, closing the door quietly.

//I'm not that easy.....I'm not that easy......I'm not THAT easy! Fuck

Kaoru!//

//What do you think you are? GOD?// Toshiya clenched his fists. His

eyes staring blankly at the closed door. The aching in his heart was about

to explode as tears started to fall down his pale cheekbones. Roughly

he pushed them away.

//So you think I'm easy, huh? Fine! I'll SHOW you how EASY I

am!.....K'so!// The dark-haired man angrily put on his coat and stormed out of

the room, and out of the building, totally missing some pair of burning

eyes who followed him until he was out of sight.

The next meeting was like always. At least that was what the others

thought. Toshiya in the opposite did a harsh job to act normal in Kaoru's

presence and he caught himself more than one time watching their leader

full with desire. Their kiss had left him longing for more, and he

couldn't get rid of it. He sighed desperately. Luckily the other members

didn't show if they noticed the heavy air between their leader and him,

or not. So he tried to be like usual, flirting good-naturedly with his

friend Die, making fun of Shinya and slightly ignoring Kyo

whispering with Kaoru.

The purple-head meanwhile, tried hard to get rid of these cursing

images of Toshiya and him kissing last night. He could still feel the

bassist’s lips brushing against his, the sweet taste from the other man's

mouth. Kaoru groaned inwards and focused his attention back to the little

vocalist in front of him. Kyo stared at him strangely. Kaoru gulped.

"What are you afraid of Kaoru-chan?", the blond asked seriously

watching his face. "Maybe he feels the same...you won't know until you tell

him!" Kyo smiled tenderly, which seemed really awkward for Kaoru since

the vocalist hardly smiled at all.

However, as the words sunk in, the leader turned a deeper shade of pink

and his face closed up again. "What do you mean Tooru-kun? 'He'?

*cruel laugh* I am perfectly well aware that 'I' am a man, so how comes you

think I go for boys, ne?"

"My name is KYO for goodness sake!", the other man hissed, but then his

black-colored lips crept into a smirk, making him look like a devil.

"You can't fool me Kaoru-kun...", he mouthed, and his grin grew wider as

he saw their leader's eyes getting wide with shock. Then the little

devil turned back to his mic and asked for the next song to play, leaving

a dumbfounded Kaoru behind.

"Toshiya, let's go out tonight, ne? We'll drag Shin-chan with us..!",

Die suggested after the last song had died down and grinned invitingly,

his arm around the drummers shoulders, forcing the fragile man with him.

"NO! Let me GO Daisuke! I don't want to go out with you guys, drinking

in an sticky room filled with smoking people!" Shinya angrily shouted

and kicked Die's leg, making the red-head wince in pain.

"ARE YOU INSANE?", he shouted, but refused to let go of Shinya.

Toshiya smirked. They were just too cute together. He knew Die cared

about the drummer deeply, although he didn't act like that. No, mainly

the two would be seen screaming and fighting with each other, but Toshiya

noticed something else. These were the only times, someone could get

more than one sentence out of Shinya when they talked about something in

which the bishounen wasn't interested. Oh yes, these two were made for

each other, definitely!

//Why can't that happen to me?//

"Of course I'll come along! Did ya ask Kyo and Leader-sama yet?", the

bassist said smiling, his eyes wandering to the two K's, watching them

as jealousy crept inside his heart.

Die nodded, his grin grew wider. "They are 'occupied', they said

something about working on the next song *laugh* but ya know that's just an

excuse for hanging around together!"

Die never saw the flash of pain in Toshiya's eyes, because it was

quickly hidden by long black lashes and the cheerfully mask the slender man

put on. "Let's go then!", Toshiya said, heaving his bass over his

shoulder and walking towards the entrance. He didn't look back for once.

Slightly confused the guitarist nodded and dragged a struggling and

kicking Shinya with him, leaving their leader and vocalist behind, as he

tried to catch up with Toshiya, linking their arms together and heading

for their cars to put their guitars in. All the while eyed

suspiciously from Shinya.

"I won’t come with you two!", he stated firmly. "NO way!"

"Awww...why not Shin-chan, are you afraid we'll seduce you?", Die asked

mischievously, taking in the cute picture the drummer made pouting.

Shinya turned crimson. "NO!", he hissed, but in an instant backed away.

Eyes full of sudden fear. He hadn't thought about THAT yet!

"Die, see what you did, now he's scared from us!", Toshiya purred

playfully and snuggled against the red-head, then he laughed seeing Shinya's

hateful glance. "Ano... Shin-chan, don't worry, we wont do any harm to

you, don't look like a frightened animal!"

"I'm NOT afraid!", Shinya replied, jealously watching Toshiya and Die.

"I'm coming along!"

Die's eyes lit up. Trapped. His hug around Toshiya tightened in joy and

they laughed cheerfully, Shinya pouting as he realized his mistake.

Inside the building, Kaoru stepped back from the window, his face

emotionless.

//He found a new prey//
