"Going out again tonight?" Toshiya asked followed by a grin on his face. Shinya nodded, "I have to kill the time…" Kyo heard the conversation and quickly jumped in.

"Hey…I know a good place…can I come?" Kyo asked hopefully. Toshiya shook his head, "Iie…it’s a bishounen thing" he giggled as Shinya looked at him in disbelief. Kyo pouted and pouted in misery. Toshiya rolled his eyes pretending that nothing happened. Shinya sighed, "Okay…you can come…anytime actually…the more the merrier…" Kyo hugged Shinya’s waist stucking his tongue out to Toshiya. The bassist pouted and pushed the small guy away. Then he pulled Shinya’s arm. Kyo greeted his teeth and pulled Shinya’s other arm. Shinya screamed as both of them pushed him back accidentally. He almost hit the wall until a strong arm caught his frail one. Toshiya gasped; Kyo widened his eyes. Shinya froze.

Die stared at him deeply in his eyes.

They stood there with Shinya leaning on Die’s arm staring into each other’s eyes frozen in time. It had been few days since they touched each other. Die missed him and so did Shinya. He wanted to throw his arms around Die’s neck and kissed him deeply. But…

Shinya dumped me…he doesn’t love me…Die thought staring at the beautiful eyes.

Shinya looked at Die’s eyes. They looked so sad and showed loneliness.

Die doesn’t want me back…he doesn’t need me…he has that woman…

"Thank you…" he said softly and walked away. Die nodded slowly, "It’s okay…be careful…" he spoke softly too. Kyo glanced at Toshiya and made a face. The bassist had a handkerchief. His eyes were wet…

"Kyo…that was so beautiful…" he whispered sadly. Kyo didn’t know what happened. No one told him anything except that Die wasn’t with Shinya anymore and they didn’t talk to each other. Kyo glanced at Die who stood frozen near the wall. Then he saw Shinya sitting down making castle in the air. They both looked really sad. What happened?

*

"What are you doing here?" Die hissed and looked around. No one was there. The hot air swept his face as he pulled Alisa out to the back area. Alisa laughed, "What do you mean? I’m here for you" Die glared at her, "Alisa…I’m not playing around with you…please leave me alone!" he looked around nervously again. Alisa threw him a look. A really weird look Die saw on girls when they were planning something wicked in the mind.

"I’m serious Die…why can’t we get back together?" Alisa pouted looking sharply at him. Die turned away avoiding her stare. Then he walked away ignoring her. Alisa trailed off behind him. Die hissed, "I’m NEVER serious with you! You know that! Why are here…bugging me?!" Alisa pulled his arm, "Die…I need you…" she said sadly then she threw herself to him, hugging his waist tightly. That was when somebody came out of the rehearsal room.

Die held his breath as Shinya turned his head around. The drummer looked surprise. But Die looked shock. He struggled to free himself but Shinya already disappeared towards Yoshiki’s office. Finally Alisa let him go; Die stared at her in disbelief.

"Why the hell did you do that for?"

"Why can’t you take me seriously for once?"

Die sighed, "Alisa…there are so many guys out there…better than me…I NEVER love you…I NEVER need you…please…" Die lost his words. One part of him didn’t want to hurt the woman but another part of him told him to stay away from her.

Shinya walked quickly towards Yoshiki’s office. He lifted his head up staring at the ceiling…hoping no tears would come out from his beautiful eyes.

Die patted Alisa’s arm gently then entered the rehearsal room. Alisa bit her lip following him. Kaoru turned as he saw the woman. Toshiya raised an eyebrow. Kyo was sleeping. The purple hair guy glanced at Die who looked frustrated. Toshiya looked at Die suspiciously before moving closer to Kaoru. The older man looked at him in confusion. Toshiya gulped as Alisa pulled Die’s arm.

"I heard you were in serious relationship…but it didn’t work" Alisa spoke softly. Toshiya and Kaoru pouted at the same time; they couldn’t hear what she was saying.

"It’s none of your business" Die hissed. Alisa pulled him harder, "Why can’t you give us a try? Another try!" She looked at him deeply in his eyes. Die turned away and shook his head, ‘You don’t know how I feel…please…Alisa…you don’t know how I feel…" Die whispered.

"You dumped Me for a Guy!! How does That feel?!!!" Alisa snapped loudly. Kaoru looked at Toshiya; the bassist widened his eyes. Kyo jumped. Die studied her face. She was flushed in anger. Die could see tears in her eyes. And he knew she was trying so hard not to let them fell on her cheeks. Alisa turned around then quickly walked out of the room. Die stood frozen staring at the closed door.

No one said anything. Not even Kyo…

"Are you okay?" he looked so concerned. Shinya blushed and nodded. Yoshiki had caught him crying. Now he was sitting in his office trying to calm himself down. Yoshiki sat in front of him looking worried. Shinya didn’t dare to lift his eyes up.

"What happened?" he asked gently. Shinya only shook his head. He heard Yoshiki sighed.

"Shinya…it’s okay you don’t want to tell me…or anyone…" he stopped looking at Shinya. "But sometimes…it feels better when you share with somebody else" Yoshiki smiled warmly. Shinya blushed more deeply.

Die placed his feet on the table. Kaoru made a face. Finally he succeed pushing the red head to a cafe so they could have a serious talk.

"Die…you dumped her for Shinya right?"

Die sighed.

"She was the woman you went out with when you suddenly fell in love with Shinya right?" Kaoru asked again. Die only sighed. Kaoru should know the history…he knew the one with Shinya and the whole two years. But he didn’t know about what went on before that.

"Die! I need explanation! I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what happened!" Kaoru raised his voice. Die glared at him, "I don’t need your help!"

"-Yet! You will, Die! You know you need my help and Toshiya’s! you want Shinya back right?" Die turned away. Silence filled the air for a while. Kaoru let it happened. He knew soon Die would tell him the truth. He knew Die really loved Shinya.

"Now you know why she ‘hunts’ for me…" Die began. Kaoru raised an eyebrow. Die continued ignoring Kaoru’s expression. "I hurt her…I know…I shouldn’t have done that…but I did!" he lit a cigarette. "She wants me back not because she loves me…but she wants to show Shinya… that…she is able to have me back…to her arms"

Kaoru nodded, "But how can you be so sure? Maybe she does love you…"

Die threw him a look, "Kaoru…I didn’t know her since yesterday…I –know- her too well and I’m sure this is what she has in mind! Alisa is a bitch!"

"Then how come you went out with her in the first place?" Kaoru laughed.

"I NEVER went out with her…it was just a few months thing…she’s attractive…and mature…" Kaoru nodded agreeing with Die. "It was a bet and everyone matched us up…so it just happened" Die explained shortly. Kaoru nodded again.

"Shinya saw her hugging me…I bet she did it in purpose!" Die grunted. Kaoru smiled ironically. He thought this thing would last only few days then Die would have Shinya back in his arms. But this was getting…serious. Die spent his days dreaming worrying about Shinya while the drummer went out every night to kill the time. Only God knew what Shinya did while he was out there. Then this woman came in and screwed everything up.

"I talked to Toshiya…he said Shinya thought you didn’t love him anymore" Kaoru said firmly. Die leaned forward glaring at him, "Nani? –He- dumped me! You know I love him so much!" Die said aloud. Kaoru looked around then asked,

"Why did you say you’re bored with him?" Die pouted. Kaoru raised both eyebrows looking at him, waiting for an answer. Die sighed then blushed.

"I argued with Noisy that time…" he spoke softly. Kaoru laughed rolling his eyes. "Hey, he’s a nice guy…just that time…we had an argument about relationship…and I went back quite pissed. Shinya must have taken whatever I said seriously" Kaoru sighed.

"So it’s this simple…it’s misunderstanding…" Kaoru gasped in disbelief. Die nodded slowly looking away. Kaoru shook his head, "Totchi told me Shinya cried to sleep that night" he added. Die raised an eyebrow, "I slept on the couch…I didn’t know that…" Die looked worried.

"Talk to him…talk to Shinya what actually happened and tell him your true feelings…" Kaoru smiled seeing Die pouting. "And if you’re lucky he’ll want you back…" the purple head added with a grin on his face. Die glared.

"Die is here!" Toshiya yelled near his ears. He could barely hear what the bassist told him. The music was so loud. Shinya joined his eyebrows looking confused. Kyo was pulling his skirt telling him to buy drinks. Shinya nodded his head to Kyo; then shouted before he walked away, "I can’t hear what you said!" Toshiya pouted turning back to Kaoru. The guitarist sighed.

Die narrowed his eyes as Shinya walked towards the bar. Kyo grinned following the drummer. Kaoru walked slowly back to his table, "He doesn’t get it!" Die sighed.

"Wa…Shinya, let’s buy Kaoru drinks!" Kyo sat on the bar. Shinya studied his fingers, No…Die is here…they want to do something…Shinya bit his lip, "Kyo…I’m leaving" Kyo raised an eyebrow looking confusedly at him. "Dooshite?" he asked.

Shinya looked worried. He didn’t want to see Die. He saw them hugging…in the studio!

I bet Die wants me to know he can enjoy his life without me…he only wants to show me his new girlfriend. I’m not going talk to him again. Shinya thought as he walked towards the exit. He heard Kyo yelling his name but that made him walked even faster.

Die got up his seat as he saw the drummer disappearing near the exit. He swore aloud then rushed to Shinya’s direction. By the time he reached outside, Shinya was nowhere to be seen.

*

Shinya walked quickly down the road. He turned to look around but there was no taxi so he had to walk to the station again. Suddenly he was aware by the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw no one.

Which meant there was somebody behind him. Shinya chew his lips walked even faster down the road. The footsteps could be heard again. Shinya sighed; he shouldn’t have worn clothes that made him look like a girl. But now it was too late to change. So the only thing he could do was mixing with the crowd. So he turned and ran towards the crowded area.

Shinya turned his head around and saw a man standing under the light looking at him. Shinya never seen him before but he was wearing a shirt with picture of dragon printed on it. It looked oddly familiar. The man looked scary with a hat preventing Shinya to see his face. Shinya sighed in fear and joined the crowd. He turned back again…the man was still following him. The drummer looked around looking for help. He smiled in relief seeing a policeman.

"Help! Somebody is following me!" he said pointing to the man. The policeman turned his head and saw a man running away once in a while turning his head back nervously. Shinya sighed in relief.

*

The phone rang killing the dead silence of the room. He didn’t hear it at first. He was in a fantasy land but when he heard it rang again, he grunted and picked it up.

"Moshi-moshi…" he tried to be polite. He glanced at the alarm clock.

-01.47 a.m.-

"Konban wa…" a familiar voice greeted him. He gasped in disbelief then the other side added,

"Please pick me up…please…" the voice sounded weak…and scared. He sighed in worry joining his eyebrows. Finally he got up the bed taking his shirt out of the cupboard.

"Where are you?"

The other person fell silent for a while,

"…police station…"

He widened his eyes, "What?!"
