From One Couple To The Other
***
Part 5
Feeling better, Die was walking slowly in the lonely streets.
Kyo was taking care of it for him, Toshiya would stop his foolishness
now...yes, he really felt MUCH better. But, what was that face he
made after he'd hugged him, how unusual for Kyo. Maybe he felt bad
about reasoning Toshiya. They were good friends after all, maybe he
loved the bassist. Putting one hand on his mouth, Die started
laughing. Kyo and Toshi? How charming, if only Toshiya loved him
back. But he didn't really know, might as well stop right now before
he gets in those never ending stupid fantasy of his.
That's when he heard a scream, a faint one. It came from a valley
he'd just passed. Turning around, he looked at it. What was going on
it there?
Walking fast, he went straight to the valley and saw a man
sitting on top of a short haired woman. The hands of the man were
already trying to get the short skirt off the poor girl, but she
didn't do a thing. She just stayed there, scared and crying. She did
try to push the man away a couple of times, but she seemed exhausted.
The guitarist's eyes grew dark. Rushing into the little street after
picking up a long peace of wood, he hit the man behind the head.
Seeing him fall unconscious, he got a better look at the woman.
"Shinya..." Pushing the man aside, Die kneeled beside the young
drummer. There was at least four bags scattered around the poor man
and he looked terrified. He didn't seem to recognise the guitarist,
so when he saw him approached he started to cry harder and asked him
to go away at first.
Die took his coat of and put it on his friend's shoulder. "Are
you
alright Shin-chan?"
Shinya was still crying, he felt so helpless. Why didn't he
do a thing? Why? He could have...he was strong, being the drummer of
Dir en grey and all, he could have pushed the man away. Put the look
he had in his eyes, he was sure he was going to kill him if he even
moved a little.
But now...he could only see a far away form of somebody who was
talking to him. Somebody who was calm and careful not to scare him
off. Somebody who even covered his shoulders with something warm. But
Shinya was too shocked to try to even see that person. He didn't want
to see, what if it was that same man? What would he do?
An hand moved closer to his face, brushing his cheek
slightly. He didn't back away, the hand was so caring. The same hand
gently took his and helped him up. It picked up all his bags and took
him out of the valley. Walking like a sleepwalker, Shinya was totally
out of it. "I have to take care of him..." Die didn't know
what to
do, Shinya would be afraid to get close to anybody after that.
The red head took him to his apartment and sat him on the
couch. He would lend him his bed and give him a cup of coffee. That's
all he could do for now...
Biting his own finger, Die looked in Shinya's eyes. He was lost. He
didn't know how long it would take for the drummer to get out of it.
Standing up, he picked up the phone and the others.
*****************
"What do you mean he was attacked?!?" Toshiya was almost
saying it was Die's fault. Fault for everything that had happened to
the poor drummer. The fact was that...it was somewhat true, but they
didn't know that. Kaoru had his little idea after seeing the clothes
Shinya were wearing, but he didn't need to tell his band mates.
Shinya was still sitting on the couch, looking at the closed
television with a cold cup of coffee in his hands. He hadn't moved
since Kaoru had arrived, nothing at all. Die did say he walked by
himself and even talked to him when he rescued him, but nothing else.
The young drummer looked like a vegetable, his eyes were empty, not
even a glimpse of life. Shinya had closed himself.
Kaoru didn't know what to do. He tried to stay calm as the others
were going crazy, especially Toshiya. "But he's an a coma! He
won't
come out of it until YOU do something Die! It's your fault, it's
always your fault!" Kaoru eyed Toshiya, he was overreacting
again. "ill you calm down Toshi, you're going to get grey
hair."
Toshiya turned around and looked at older man hurt, grey hair?! Him
grey hair?! "Don't tell me how to talk to MY BOYFRIEND
you!" Die
moved uncomfortably in his seat.
Kaoru almost bit his own lips, that really hurt. But he knew
he could take it, he knew Toshiya went out with Die, so it wasn't
as
bad as he thought. "You don't have to make a show in front of
everybody else, if you want to yell at him, go outside or something.
Were trying to wake Shinya up here, not to start world war two!"
Kaoru shifted back to Shinya with an odd look on his face.
Toshiya couldn't take it anymore, if Kaoru hated him he just
had to tell. He didn't need all those hard remarks all the time.
Standing up in front of Kaoru, the bassist slapped him with all his
might. He looked back at Shinya and felt rage boil inside of him, it
was all his doing, always Shinya, always the drummer! Always, always,
always!
Circling the young man's neck with both his hands, the beautiful man
started to try strangling him. Shaking from one side to the other and
yelling, he couldn't take it. He was going to die, die, DIE!
Horrified, the others rushed to try to stop Toshiya from
killing their friend. "IT'S YOU! ALWAYS YOU, YOU, YOU!! GET AWAY
FROM
HIM I TELL YOU, GET AWAY!" Toshiya was going mad but Die finally
succeeded and got him away. Hugging the bassist tight, he didn't let
him go.
Kyo shook sadly his head, Toshiya was going to have a break down if
he didn't get him fast out of there, Die and Kaoru would take care of
Shinya.
Kaoru couldn't believe the bassist could be so violent, one
second ago he was yelling at Die because of Shinya's condition and
after that he tried to kill the drummer. Everything was going crazy,
everybody were acting weird. Nobody was happy, they needed a vacation
or else, the band would brake apart.
Kaoru sighed when he saw Shinya's state. Nothing...nothing at
all. He was depressed, not even a punch would wake him. Shinya hadn't
even react to Toshiya's attack. He didn't even move or
yell...nothing. Still looking distant, he really was lost.
***************
The next day, everybody was tired. Tired from everything that
was happening in their life, but they had to still practice even if
Shinya hadn't shown a sign of life. He had stayed to Die's place
since he wouldn't move and even if Kaoru had tried to make him stand
up, the drummer had crashed on the floor. Not finding the energy to
take him in his arms, the leader decided it would be better for Die
to take care of him.
The drummer would wake up eventually, sooner the better but they
didn't know any cure and didn't believe doctors could do a thing
because it was a psychological problem. Something would wake him up
and Kaoru knew Die was the key. No need for doctors when you've got
the answer to your disease.
Getting ready for the practice, Die was still a little happy.
He could see Shinya everyday now, even if it wasn't a lively visit
and Toshiya had stopped turning around him. Kyo had finally got an
answer from Toshiya and told the guitarist that it was for him and
Shinya. Toshi wanted them to get together.
But the bassist still believed Kaoru was in love with the drummer, so
he'd gone mad that night. But he was feeling better, that was good...
Toshiya was sitting on his chair, not being is original self.
Of course, Shinya was sick, but that wasn't the real reason. He
didn't want to play and when the others started, they were surprised,
Toshiya's bass was missing the call.
Kaoru turned around, what was it now? "Toshiya, why aren't
you playing?" The beautiful man looked up, not looking so
beautiful
after all, he was angry. He glared at Kaoru never answering the
question. "Toshiya, even if Shinya isn't here, we have to
practice a
little!" No answer. "Toshiya." Silence.
"TOSHIYA!" Still nothing.
Putting calmly his guitar down, Kaoru approached the bassist with a
pissed off look on his face. He sat down in front of Toshiya and
stared at him for a minute.
Toshiya was surprised but still didn't move, he had to start
yelling at him. He was going to in a second. Toshiya knew that, Kaoru
always yelled at him, but now he wanted him to.
The leader did nothing, only stared. Toshiya grew mad, why didn't he
say anything? Say something Kaoru. Come on, say it! You know you want
to, yell at me with all your might and finally tell me you hate me!
But Kaoru didn't move a muscle. "WHAT IS IT?" Toshiya reacted
first,
Kaoru's glare was too much for him. Drawing back, Kaoru smiled
slightly.
"Shouldn't that be my question?" Toshiya started to blush.
His question…his question?! But he was the one staring at him!
But he
was staring back...wasn't he...? Still, Kaoru was mad at him! But, he
made him mad...he wanted to... Kaoru hated him! But, he never really
told him...how could he really tell...?
Tears rolling down his cheeks, Toshiya was still mad, mad at
everything, mad at himself! He made Kaoru mad at him, he always did.
That's why he hated him...
Kaoru sighed, Toshiya was tired. They couldn't practice.
Nobody was in the mood and he knew wanted to go back home so he could
try to wake Shinya up. He had to thing of something...
He thoughts shifting back to Toshiya, he looked away. He had made him
cry didn't he? Why did he always make him cry every time he talked to
him? Yesterday he slapped and now... He was almost drowning himself.
Toshiya...he was even beautiful when he was crying. My poor little
Toshiya...
Kyo and Die knew they wouldn't practice, they didn't feel
like it anyway. So might as well go. They looked at each other and
turned around. Kyo leaving the room and Die packing his guitar only
to follow the small man after that.
Kaoru looked at his other band mates leaving the room, they
had read the message. Good.
Landing his hand to Toshiya, Kaoru smiled. "How about a drink,
Totchi?" The leader's smile grew wider.

I'm sorry every Shinya fans, I didn't want to hurt him or anything
(he didn't get raped anyway, I wouldn't have been able to do it ^^;).
Besides, no need to worry, my stories always finish well. :P
