Die opened his eyes as a gentle voice called out his name. He looked up only to find himself surrounded by girls. They looked oddly familiar to him. But he didn’t know them. He thought he didn’t. He lazily sat up narrowing his eyes to them.

"Remember us?" one of them asked. No, he thought. But he gave a slight smile instead of telling them the truth. He rolled his eyes to Shinya’s table. The drummer wasn’t there. Die pouted looking back at the girls, then his drink.

"Die-kun…" a really familiar voice made him look up.

"Alisa?" he said aloud in disbelief narrowing his eyes more trying to see in the dark.

"How are you?"

"Fine…" no wonder they look familiar…Alisa’s girls. He nodded slowly to her. She laughed placing herself beside him. "You don’t mind me sitting here, do you?" she crossed her legs almost touching Die’s with them. Die rolled his eyes and held his glass. He raised an eyebrow; the other girls had gone…as if to leave him alone with her. Alisa lit her cig then offered Die the pack. Die glanced to Shinya’s table. The younger man was still in the toilet. Die sighed and shook his head.

"Can’t get anywhere with Salem light ne? Try this" she sounded casual. The guitarist only smiled without taking the cig from her.

"So how’s life?"

"Busy…"

"Must be the band, ne?"

Die replied with a lazy smile. Alisa leaned on the bar with a strange look in her eyes. She smiled slightly then stared at the man.

"I heard Die-kun has gone soft, is that true?" she sounded teasing. Die glared at her murderously. "No!" he replied harshly then turned away. Alisa laughed. Die finished his drinks. At the same moment Alisa raised an eyebrow at the bartender. The man nodded and filled Die’s glass full. Suddenly she grabbed Die’s chin. The guitarist looked at her with eyebrows joined. His mind wondered what the hell was she trying to do…

"You’ve changed! Why can’t you enjoy life as much as you used to?" She asked loudly. Die rolled his eyes and pushed her hand away. Go and get pissed, bitch! He wanted to say but couldn’t be bothered to. Alisa pouted glaring at Die who rested his head on the bar. The sudden move made him felt dizzy. He lift his eyes up and the world was spinning around him. The alcohol started to do its job. He thought of moving away from the woman but suddenly Die felt a gentle touch on his arm.

"Who’s she?" Kaoru asked confusedly.

"Are you sure it’s a –she-?" Toshiya giggled until Kaoru glared at him. He stopped and glared back at the guitarist. It wasn’t one of those murderous glares but Toshiya’s eyes looked red. Kaoru raised an eyebrow; maybe it was the light…it was impossible for Toshiya to cry right now.

"How can you give me such a glare, Kaoru?" Toshiya pouted with trembled lips. Kaoru narrowed his eyes realizing that Toshiya would start sulking. He softened his expression, "Gomen ne Totchi…" the guitarist took this as a chance to kiss Toshiya’s cheek. The bassist blushed trying to hide a smile. Kaoru’s lips moved closer to his but suddenly he turned away…again. Kaoru pouted in disappointment.

"Waa…what’s she doing?" Toshiya asked with eyes wide open looking at Die (there are lots of people but these two could see Die’s table-L7) Kaoru sighed and turned wishing Die wasn’t here.

Alisa moved closer to Die, resting her head beside his. She gently ran her fingers through his dark red hair. Then the hands moved down massaging Die’s shoulders. Die arched his back comfortably under her touch.

"I consider that as flirting!" Toshiya raised an eyebrow pouting at them. Kaoru bit his lower lip, he had to do something or Die would regret whatever he was going to do with her. Toshiya looked at him for a while. The bassist was thinking hard too. What was Die doing here? Was he spying on Shinya? Ne, Die won’t do that…he thought again. But it was such a coincidence! Maybe I should ask Kaoru what happen to Die! Then I can tell Shinya! And who’s that woman?

"Ano…I should go there you know…I don’t want Die to get in anymore trouble" Kaoru turned to Toshiya. The bassist raised an eyebrow, anymore trouble? What’s that mean? Shinya?

Kaoru pulled Toshiya’s arm leading him to Die’s table. When they reached there, Alisa was in the process of kissing the red head’s lips. She glared at Kaoru in the dark as he greeted her. Toshiya giggled softly seeing her expression.

"Konban wa…" Kaoru said politely.

Toshiya smiled.

Alisa tried to smile. She stood up beside Die and nodded to Kaoru. The purple hair guitarist introduced himself as Die’s friend who brought him to the pub. Alisa glanced at Toshiya; suddenly she smiled showing her clean teeth.

"You must be Toshiya-kun…" she said almost in a very archly manner. Toshiya rose an eyebrow wondering. Kaoru pouted, I swear if she tried to get my Totchi she dies.

Toshiya gave her one of those most alluring sexy tempting (can’t find the right word-L7) pout he rarely put up. Kaoru raised both eyebrows with wide eyes staring at the bassist. Alisa smiled wider to the dark hair guy. Something in her eyes told Toshiya he could take that woman right there on the spot. But he wasn’t going to do that. In front of Kaoru-chan…never! So he placed his hands on his thighs, slightly posing for her.

"How do you know me?"

Alisa laughed crossing her arms; "if those girls know you’re here…" she shook her head. Kaoru glared at her but then decided to wake Die up. The red head looked sleepy. Kaoru patted Die’s arm gently,

"Oi! Die, what’s up?" Kaoru asked near Die’s ear. The red head opened his eyes but suddenly moved forward kissing Kaoru’s lips. Kaoru raised both eyebrows pushing Die away. Toshiya pouted while Alisa glared at Kaoru.

"Shin-chan…" Die whispered. Toshiya parted his lips in surprise. He glanced at Kaoru who looked confused.

He knows Shinya is here…where is that skinny guy? Toshiya thought and looked around looking for Shinya.

The drummer was still in the bathroom, crying. But then he knew crying wouldn’t change what had happened. So he pulled out a large amount of toilet paper and wiped his eyes. Mascara was all over his face so he took long time taking all his make-up off. Shinya got out the toilet looking at him in the mirror. He looked so crappy. Few girls looked at him confusedly but he didn’t care. I still look like a girl, he thought. Shinya sighed and walked out the bathroom.

"Ano…I think he’s really drunk" Alisa stated as she bent down looking at Die. The red head mumbled something then he got up. "I want to go back…" he looked at Kaoru. The other guitarist nodded and held Die. Toshiya pouted staring at them. Alisa looked disappointed.

"No…you stay here…I’ll go back alone…I’ll call taxi" Die rubbed his face roughly. He walked shakingly away from them but for one last time he glanced at Shinya’s table. Toshiya turned to the direction Die was looking at. He froze realizing it was his table. Toshiya gulped. Somehow…he felt something bad was going to happen. Something really bad…but what?

"Are you sure?" Kaoru decided to go back with Die. He looked extremely weird. Alisa stepped back as Die walked pass her. Die nodded and pushed Kaoru away. "Enjoy…" he said slowly then disappeared among the crowd. Alisa pouted then turned to Toshiya and Kaoru.

"Well, I guess I have to go too…see you guys sometime…" She threw a gorgeous smile to them. Kaoru smiled Toshiya only nodded. The bassist looked at his table. Suddenly, weirdly, Shinya appeared. Toshiya pulled Kaoru’s arm leading him to his table. Shinya widened his eyes seeing Kaoru. So Die is here with him…but where is he? Shinya tried hard not to look around. Kaoru smiled seeing Shinya. The drummer nodded to him nervously.

"Em…Die was here…he told me what happened" Kaoru said carefully. Shinya didn’t look like just now. He had no make up on his face and he looked sad…his nose looked red. Maybe he had just finished crying. Shinya looked down. Toshiya turned to Kaoru then to Shinya, "he’s just gone…"he said softly to Shinya. Kaoru thought he saw Shinya sigh in relief. The drummer did sigh in relief. He didn’t want to see Die.

"I’m leaving here…I’ve no mood anymore…" Shinya smiled as Toshiya looked disappointed. The bassist pouted and looked at Shinya sadly. The drummer sighed, "Arigato, Toshiya for taking me out tonight. But I think I better go now…besides…" Shinya’s voice rose.

"I don’t want to disturb you guys…" Kaoru blushed. Toshiya glanced at the guitarist.

"Good night…have fun!" Shinya winked to Toshiya before he heading towards the exit. He walked quickly but when he reached outside he stood frozen taking a deep breath. He was so tired. And he wanted to go back now…Shinya looked around for a taxi but couldn’t find one. He decide to walk down to the center of the town (my imagination-L7)

Shinya stood frozen as he saw something…somebody looking extremely familiar to his eyes. It was a man with dark red hair. He wasn’t alone…he was with a woman. She led him in a car then she happily smiled and drove the car down the town.

Shinya sighed chewing his lips. Then he started to walk.
