Chapter 14
Hajime Machite
Kyo stretched his arms and let out a yawn as the final announcements were being made. “We are now beginning our final decent into Los Angeles” said the stewardess “The temperature is 87 degrees...”
Kyo’s mind stifled her out “Best wake up” came Atsushi’s voice “We’re going to be meeting with Ronin and Sugizo as soon as we land.”
Kyo sighed as he raised his seat and buckled his belt “Is Kyo-kyo still tired?” came Toshiya’s taunting voice.
“Remember Toshiya” came Kyo’s grumpy one “I know where you sleep.”
The threat seemed to spark something in the bassist; his face went pale before he leaned back. Kyo turned to their manager “And what about the girls?” he asked.
“As far as I know they’re flying in tonight with the rest of S.K.I.N” Inoue replied.
Kaoru removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes “I’ve been reading Jo’s blogs, and everything seems to be rather stable” he said “However, she rarely speaks about Kaiora; so it’s hard to really get a grasp on things. There aren’t even pictures of her.”
“Guess they weren’t lying when they said they’d like to keep her out of the public eye” Toshiya’s head poked over the seat “I’m beginning to see the good points in all of this.”
Kaoru turned and for the first time laid eyes on Kyo in a few hours. “Kyo-san” he said “Are you okay?”
Kyo yawned “hai” he replied “Just tired...never get used to jetlag.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Are you okay Kaiora?” Yoshiki asked.
Her eyes opened wearily at him, she stretched and yawned “hai” she replied “I didn’t realized I was carrying so much weight through the tour. It’s good to relax.”
He leaned down and kissed her forehead “How do you feel?” he asked.
“Stronger” she replied “I think...I hope. Are they almost here?”
He nodded as he stroked her hair “they called about 20 minutes ago.”
She jumped up “Why didn’t you tell me!?” she demanded.
“You look cute when you’re sleeping.”
She smiled as she reached up and pulled him down to kiss her lightly “Get ready” he whispered against her lips. “I’ll be downstairs.”
She nodded.
She then removed the blankets from around her and jumped off of the bed.
Yoshiki watched her; it had only been a few weeks ago that she was a complete shell of a person. Empty, she couldn’t even manage a simple smile, now...here she was. The thought had been concerning him for some time. Was she truly able to get over something so traumatic in so little time? The last time she was faced with it she shut down for three months...what now. He was worried that he was more than someone she cared for...he was worried about who she saw when she looked at him. After all...to deal with Hide’s death...
Yoshiki watched her with hesitation, before suddenly blurting out “Have you ever talked about it?” he asked.
She stopped her action and turned to the drummer “What?” she asked.
Yoshiki sighed “I know I’m not the best person to ask this of you, but...have you ever. Talked about Corrin to anyone?” he asked “I mean...”
“I’m not ready” she replied softly.
He saw the tears begin to flow down her face when she stood “I’m not ready” she then ran towards the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
Yoshiki shook his head.
The door bell rang.
He sighed and made his way downstairs. He couldn’t help but smile when he heard the muffled arguing through the door.
“I’m telling you he won’t ‘mind!”
“Damnit Angel, it’s just not done!”
“Look, he’s not even coming to the door! Let’s just go in!”
“Do you have any idea how rude that is to a Japanese person...to ANY PERSON!?”
“Gackt you don’t have to yell, I’m standing right here!”
“Yes, but you’re not listening!”
He contemplated listening to them for awhile and even guessing a time frame till Annette and Angel jumped Miyavi and Gackt.
“Sugiiii!” came Minami’s whine “Why won’t Yo-chan open the door!”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Yo-chan!”
The pounding of the door was not helping the pounding in his head. He grumbled angrily as he made his way down the stairs ‘If I trip I’m going to strangle him’ he thought to himself.
“Yo-chan!” the whine was getting louder and more irritating “Open the door!”
“hide-chan that’s not helping” Taiji’s voice came.
“But he won’t open the door!”
Suddenly a louder thud came which brought Yoshiki to believe that he’d began to kick the door “How can I apologize if he won’t answer the fucking door!”
“We’ve been here five minutes hide-san,” came Taiji’s slurred reply that seemed to get more and more irritable “It’s 5 in the morning, he doesn’t know we’re coming so can you please just fucking wait!”
The sound of something hitting gravel hit his ears, before glass shattering and he heard the unmistakable CRACK of a fist hitting a face. He shook his head before he opened the door to see that the bottles of alcohol either brought as a gift or as a reason were smashed on the cement. There was a bag with food spilled as well, and a few feet away there were two, fully grown men completely inebriated rolling around swinging at one another.
“hide-chan.”
Hide stopped his movement, looked up at Yoshiki looking down at him before a drunken smile spread across his face “Yo-chan!” he yelled.
He then pushed Taiji off of him and jumped to his feet. He ran to the bag and picked it off the ground “Yo-chan” he slurred “I’ve come to apologize!”
Yoshiki stared at him in confusion as he rummaged around the bag in his hands and pulled out a small stuffed panda bear. “Gomen-nasai!”
Yoshiki stared at the drunken guitarist. “hide-chan” he said “We aren’t fighting. What do you need to apologize for?”
“Aww fuck” came Taiji’s mumble in the background.
He was currently seated against Yoshiki’s fence with a cigarette in his mouth. “All this way for nothing.”
Hide was staring at Yoshiki “We aren’t fighting?” he asked.
Yoshiki watched as tears began to well in the guitarist’s eyes. He sighed out all the anger that had been building from being woken up “Come on” he stepped aside to let the two in “let’s have a drink.”
“All right!” Taiji and hide yelled as they made their way in and Yoshiki shut the door.
“Thanks Yo-chan!”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sugizo had been rather amused up till that point, however at the slip of that name his face went dead serious “Minami” he said with a fatherly tone “Don’t call Yoshiki that.”
Minami suddenly got the feeling she was being scolded by her father as she turned “huh?” she asked.
Jo sighed “Isn’t’ that the name that hide used to call Yoshiki?”
“Yo-chan” Sugizo seemed to be in a strange trance as he spoke the name.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Come on Sugi” hide said “Let’s go get Yo-chan and go out for some drinks!”
“I don’t think he wants to be bothered...” Sugizo though for a moment “Ahhhh he works to hard! Lets’ tie him up and drag him down the bar!”
Hide laughed “I like where you’re going with this Sugi-kun.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Don’t call him that name.”
Gackt, Miyavi, Jo, Annette, and Angel all stood uncomfortably shifting a the guitarist’s change in demeanour. Jo ran her hands up his back “Are you okay Sugizo?” she asked.
The question seemed to snap him out of his gaze. “I-I’m sorry” he stuttered “I think I need more sleep.”
No one had time to question before the door opened and Yoshiki stood there “You know I could hear your fighting in my room right?” he asked.
A smile spread across Minami and Angel’s face as they ran passed the pianist “Hey Yoshiki!”
Annette wrapped her arms around him “It’s good to see you even though we’ve only been apart a day!”
Yoshiki stood in shock until she let go of him. “Sorry” Gackt walked up “She was a little upset that you two left without a word.”
Yoshiki went to argue when Jo sounded “And a note is not a word.”
“I asked him”
They all turned to see Kaiora walking down the stairs. “So if you wanna get mad at someone. Then here I am.”
Jo went to say something when Angel ran from the living room “My GOD Kaiora! Look at how big this place is!”
Minami yelled from the top of the stairs “Have you seen up here! How much are you worth! This house has to be worth AT LEAST 3 million, if not more! Jackpot Kaiora! JACKPOT!”
Everyone laughed at their antics while they ran around yelling out their discoveries; Kaiora slipped her hand into Yoshiki’s. “I’m sorry” she whispered to him “We’ll talk about it later.”
He nodded leaning down to kiss her. He then looked to the others “Make yourself at home” he told them sarcastically “The chef’s are preparing dinner.”
“I thought it smelled something yummy” Jo spoke as they made their way towards the living room “You have a beautiful home Yoshiki.”
Yoshiki smiled “Thank-you. I like it.”
“I do think you need more paintings, or pictures, or something to cover the walls” Angel said “Despite it’s beauty it’s also quite baron.”
Annette nodded “I think so too...but it’s your place Yoch...Yoshiki” she let out a beaming smile hoping to deter from the nickname.
Yoshiki acted like it didn’t bother him despite the sting he felt, an arm wrapped around him and he turned to smile at Kaiora who didn’t look at him but gave a small squeeze of reassurance. The sting faded.
Miyavi sat beside Minami on the couch “How long till they get here?” he asked.
Gackt made a small grunt. Annette looked at him and he ignored her slightly. “They should be in time for dinner” Yoshiki replied.
“Yoshiki, do you mind if I show Jo the studio?” Sugizo asked.
Yoshiki shook his head as he stood “No, go ahead” he then turned to the groups “Would anyone like something to drink?”
“Wine” Gackt replied.
“That sounds good” Minami was still staring at everything around her.
“I’ll help you serve” Kaiora told him after everyone agreed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jo walked into the studio, “Whoa” she sounded “So this is Yoshiki Hayashi’s home studio.”
She sat and stared at the gadgets around her “Do you think he’ll mind if I play with these?” she asked.
Sugizo chuckled as he picked up a guitar “I’m sure he’ll be able to fix it.”
She then began pushing buttons “I’ve always wanted to do this!” she squealed “My brother would KILL to be in this kind of studio.”
“He’s a musician?”
She nodded “A guitarist, also a bassist. Very good at music.”
“He should join a band.”
She nodded again “that would be good for him. Unfortunately not many opportunities really fall into his lap.”
Sugizo nodded “Then he should make one.”
“It’s complicated” she shook her head “So, what’s going to happen now?”
Sugizo looked up at her, “I mean...with the tour...with Dir en Grey...with...us” she blushed at the last word.
Sugizo smiled “Well, you’re going to join us for the last leg of the tour, as will Dir en Grey. And you don’t need to worry about them” he reassured “They’re really cool guys...”
“I’m honestly a little worried about Kyo and Kaoru” she admitted “They seem a little...serious.”
Sugizo laughed “That’s just their stage persona” he replied “they’re hardly that mean.”
“I’d expect they’d be humbled in your presence” she smiled “And Yoshiki’s.”
Sugizo shrugged “Anyway, I know you and the girls will get along well with them. As for us...” he reached over and pulled her chair closer “That is yet to be decided.”
He then reached up and pulled her closer, her head automatically tilted as his lips met with hers. He caught her bottom lip before releasing it and opening his mouth slightly against her closed lips that opened immediately and allowed his tongue entrance. She sighed into him as she reached into his hair and pulled him closer. His hands went down to her hips and pulled her onto his lap never breaking the kiss.
She straddled him and let her hips grind into him; he released her mouth to lead a trail of kisses down her throat and onto the bare part of her breast. She moaned against the torturous pleasure, “Sugizo” she groaned.
She captured his ear and began to suckle it which caused its own reaction in him. His low groan turned into a growl. His arms tightened around her “This could get out of hand” he whispered against her throat, causing her to shutter.
“Doesn’t the thrill of being caught make it so much more exciting?”
“Normally it would,” he swallowed and pulled back “However I’ve been caught by Yoshiki before...”
She stopped and looked at him “And?”
Sugizo’s eyes shifted “And he almost threw my through that window there” he pointed.
Jo turned to look at the window with her mouth open “But it’s quite sturdy.”
Jo turned to him, and then crawled off his lap “He doesn’t seem like that kind of person” she said.
Sugizo laughed “That’s what makes him so deadly. A lot of people took tried to take advantage of that...including me.”
“So...what happened?” Jo asked.
Sugizo gave her a hesitant look “It’s okay” she said “I’ve had boyfriends before you.”
He smirked “It was a few years after I met them, around the time he bought this place” he said “Yoshiki invited us over for a few drinks, there were some girls here and it turned into a party. He told us to keep it in the living room, that the bedrooms and the studio were off limits. ‘If you wanna go fuck, do it somewhere that’s NOT on my property’...come to think of it I think he was bragging that this place was his and not anyone else’s” he let out a chuckle “Anyways, I hooked up with this girl there, and in my inebriated state I figured, Yoshiki and I are good friends, and even if he did find me that he would cut me some slack...I guess I even thought that he wouldn’t do anything about it.”
Jo smirked having already heard some legendary stories about Yoshiki’s temper “What happened?”
“Me and this girl were in this studio, we’d gotten down to our underwear when in strolls Yoshiki looking for some cigarette packs he liked to hide from Hide” he shook his head and winced at the memory “Anyways, he got all red in the face pissed off. Screamed words too vulgar for your delicate ears and then tried to throw me through the window.”
“And the girl?”
Sugizo laughed “As soon as Yoshiki diverted his attention she was gone. Picked her stuff up and ran like the wind.”
Jo shook her head “Has he settled down at all?”
“Yoshiki will always have that flame burning through him” Sugizo replied with pride (which shocked Jo) “It just depends on where it’s directed. Music, concerts, fights, drinking...nothing is half-assed. I think that’s why everyone likes him so much. He gives so much of himself” he sighed “Sometimes...too much.”
“And you?” Jo asked “What do you give?”
“As much as I can.”
“You seem to give just as much; only in smaller doses” she smiled “I’ve never seen anything more sexual than you on stage.”
He smiled at her “Really?” he asked as his smile turned to a smirk.
She nodded “I saw it at your first live, the other’s agree.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Angel leaned towards Jo as they watched Sugizo’s solo “Man...I think he’d fuck that guitar if he could.”
Kaiora smile gently “He’s not playing, he’s making love.”
The other’s nodded.
Minami smirked and looked to the others “I’ll dress up as a flying V for Halloween to get 2 minutes with that.”
The others laughed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sugizo laughed, and shook his head. “If you wanted you could pretend I’m a guitar” Jo smirked.
Sugizo choked on his laugh, and then looked up at her. “Just a thought.”
His smirk appeared again. “I’d like to accommodate that request.”
Suddenly a soft knock sounded.
The two turned as Miyavi entered “Dir en Grey are here” he announced.
Jo squealed “Dir en Grey!” she then jumped up and ran out of the room.
Miyavi shot Sugizo a ‘WTF’ look, Sugizo chuckled and then stood up “I have no idea man” he replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kyo, Kaoru, Toshiya, Die, Shinya, and Inoue stepped out of the limousine. They all peered up at the familiar house and then down at the already opened door. Yoshiki smiled “Welcome my friends.”
All bowed low to the producer “Yoshiki-sama” Kaoru spoke as he approached “It’s been a long time.”
“Far too long between visits” Yoshiki reached out and took Kaoru’s hands “Come in, my guests are excited to meet you.”
They all nodded and made their way passing the pianist and shaking his hand. Last was Inoue “I just wanted to shake your hand for this opportunity Yoshiki-sama” he bowed “This means allot to the guys.”
Yoshiki shook his head “The honour is mine” he smiled “For you to agree on such short notice. I’m in your debt Inoue-san.”
Inoue smiled at the leader’s modesty as he made his way in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jo, Annette, Angel, Minami, Miyavi, Gackt, and Sugizo all stood as the band made their way into the living room “Good-evening” Sugizo smiled at them “I’m glad you were able to make it.”
“It’s good to see you again” Miyavi smiled.
“Konbowa” Gackt bowed slightly.
The bands approached one another and shook hands. Annette watched as Kyo and Gackt shook hands stiffly, she smirked. ‘That should be interesting to watch’ she told herself.
Jo then approached first “Hello” she smiled “I’m Jo. This is, Annette, Angel, and Minami.”
Minami bowed and the others followed.
Kaoru took initiative once again and stepped up to the girls “Hajime machite” he smiled.
Shinya followed, with Die and Toshiya in tow. Kyo however seemed a bit distracted.
Along the stairwell he saw a pale figure walking down. He strained his neck to get a better look, she was thin, really thin, and she looked as if a steady wind could blow her down. She was wearing a white corsette with dark blue jeans. Her long hair settled across her shoulders, however when he looked into her face, he felt shock run through his system. While her body moved as if life coursed through it, her eyes only showed a hallow soul. There was something in her deep chocolate eyes that showed a desperate cling to the world around her, however it seemed a mere shock could chase her far from reality. He shuttered.
She walked up to the group “Sorry I wasn’t here” she said in a soft voice.
Everyone turned and she smiled gently at the new arrivals “I’m Kaiora” she told them “It’s nice to meet you.”
Yoshiki skimmed the faces of the band, Die and Toshiya tried to hide their shock behind their smiles, Toshiya was the first to walk up to her, he however didn’t reach out a hand for her to shake. Instead he wrapped his arms around her small form “I’m glad to meet you” he said.
Die stepped up and did the same he whispered “Hajime mashite” in her ear and held on for a little longer than Yoshiki was comfortable with.
Shinya’s eyes rolled over her a few times, as if he himself was afraid of what she could do to him. However he seemed to swallow his fear and stepped up to shake her hand “Hello” he smiled.
When he spoke he noticed a curious look overcome Kaiora’s eye. He’d ask about it later.
Kaoru smiled and walked up, he shocked the entire group by following Toshiya and Die by embracing her. “Kaiora” he said “It’s good to meet you.”
Kyo however seemed to just stand there, he’d been staring at her since she descended the stairwell. He seemed to be trying to get a feel for her, but was failing at it. He stuck out a hand that Yoshiki noticed was trembling slightly, and when Kaiora turned to him her eyes widened slightly. She tried to cover it by smiling at him “Kyo-san” she said “I’m happy to finally meet you.”
“You as well Kaiora” he replied with a small smile.
‘Lucky bitch! Got to hug three of them!’ Angel smirked as she looked over the group ‘We’re in a room with 9 of the hottest guys on the planet! I wish I could scream!’ She reached over and took Annette’s’ hand to squeeze it. By the squeeze that returned she knew Annette felt the same way.
‘I can’t wait to get start this tour’ ran through the minds of almost everyone in that room.

AN: My spelling of Japanese isn’t that good so sorry if I misspelled anything. That’s actually one of the things that’s kept me from any of the characters speaking Japanese. Anyways, I wanted to get this one out of the way so I can continue on. More drama ahead. I love Dir en Grey. Originally S.K.I.N were the only band I was going to have in this fic. However I’ve been on a huge Dir en Grey kick for the past few months and just had to write about them. I hope you liked the chapter. I did. Later! Review and you shall receive!
