Chapter 18
Two weeks later...
Angel groaned at the ringing phone beside her bed. She rolled over with a growl and lifted her head. The bus was quiet except for the ringing, pitch black aside from the passing cars and dim city lights in the distance.
She huffed as she lifted the phone to her ear “What?” she croaked.
“I see you’re in the same good mood I am” came Ophelia’s voice.
Her senses seemed to awaken and she immediately checked outside her bunk to make sure that no one else was awake. All she heard was heavy breathing.
“Ophelia!” she scolded “I told you I would call you!”
“I don’t have time!” Ophelia said “Look, those pictures you took...do you still have them?”
She stretched “uh-huh” she replied.
“I want you to post them.”
Her eyes shot open “Are you crazy?” she demanded “I can’t post those pictures! If Yoshiki found out...”
“Who cares about some Jap! This is revenge!” Ophelia retorted.
“You don’t understand Ophelia” Angel whispered furiously “This man is nothing like anyone on the reservation. If he found out that I posted those pictures he’ll destroy me!’
Ophelia let out a huff. Silence enveloped the bus once again, it continued for a few minutes before Ophelia spoke “Okay” she said “I’ve got a plan....and it’s fire proof.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It’s a strange feeling, almost indescribable. What to feel when you’ve been told the truth about yourself, when you realize the truth about yourself.
“Kaiora was NOT your best friend! Kaiora may not be your friend at all! Kaiora is your RESPONSIBILITY! The guilt you feel over Coledale and Corrin are the only things that drive you to care for her anymore. You’re not here to help heal Kaiora Josephine! You’re here to wash your hands clean and that’s all!”
The cold ring in his tone was enough to send chills down her spine. And to review them in her head had almost the same reaction as when she first heard them screaming at her.
She had to admit, loyalty was an admirable aspect. And Sugizo had that.
He had great loyalty to his friends, Yoshiki especially. She guessed it was because of all the problems he’d already had in his life, her betrayal wasn’t one he needed.
And what about Kaiora..what would happen when he found out she’d been in that coma for a year instead of three months? What would he do then?
Why did it make a difference anyway? Everyone knew that Yoshiki practically lost his mind after hide had died. He retreated for a year and popped tranquilizers until 2002...
“Jo are you okay?”
She jumped before looking up and seeing Gackt standing in front of her.
Rehearsal was over. She peered beyond the man to see Sugizo staring at her, however when their eyes met he quickly looked away.
The truth was that they still had strong feelings for one another, the problem...pride. She gave a smile for him “I’m fine” she said “Just...adjusting.”
Sugizo had announced after they started the tour that he and Jo were no longer seeing one another...seeing one another. Such a befitting statement.
He refused to even look at her for the first week, and the second she began to notice him peeking at her.
Gackt was giving her a pitiful look, he reached out and took her hand “If you need anyone to talk to, I’m here” he told her softly.
She stared down at his hand, she never realized how soft and warm they were. But then again she’d never had any true contact with the singer. He always seemed at arms length, and yet here he stood in front of her...so trusting. But was she worth it?
She smiled at him genuinely “Thank you Gackt” she said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shinya and Kaiora seemed to be in some kind of deep conversation. He noticed she liked to talk to him. Or rather to hear him talk, when he’d asked her why she got that strange expression on her face she said that she liked his voice.
“It’s very unique don’t you think?” she’s said “I never heard him speak before. He was always so shy in the background of their interviews. But when I heard him talk for the first time...I’d never heard anything like it before. It’s why I like to talk to him. He’s very intelligent too...it’s like listening to a song.”
He’d never really thought of that before. However it was true that Shinya’s voice had a very different ring to it than most others.
He then saw Kyo walk up and sit beside Kaiora, not really joining in the conversation but just seemed to let the two (or rather Kaiora) know he was there. After Kyo had gotten better it seemed the vocalist had taken quite a liking to Kaiora, he’d noticed that the two spent as much time together as he and Kaiora did.
However he knew there was no reason to worry, Kyo’s interest in Kaiora had been purely platonic, he was grateful to say the least. Sugizo sat down beside him as he tried to fix the string he’d broke for the third time. Yoshiki shook his head, and turned, “Breaking your guitar isn’t going to change the fact that your not seeing Jo anymore” he said.
Sugizo turned up and looked as if he was going to defend something, however after a moment he just turned back to his guitar “I know” he said as he tightened the string.
“We’ll be in New York next week for the Madison Square Garden show” he said as he switched to business “and for the last few concerts you’ve been slipping. I know that your personal problems are somewhat daunting. However you need to deal with them better somehow.”
Sugizo knew this talk would come. Over the past few shows he’d messed up a few times, thankfully Miyavi is a great guitarist and able to cover his mistakes however with Yoshiki, one mistake was a problem two mistakes was catastrophic. “I’ve rearranged our schedule” he said “We’re going to have several rehearsals beforehand. I want you to take some extra time and practice. This is not a request.”
Sugizo tried to hold back his shock as the pianist...surely his guitar playing hadn’t been that bad. “If you’re questioning this decision” Yoshiki told him “There are recording of the shows, I think you’ve had the most trouble. I’ve put them in the bus, you can watch them.”
He then hopped off the stage and turned around to make his way towards the small crowd surrounding Kaiora.
Sugizo sighed.

Angel clicked her flash drive into her laptop. She then clicked on computer before clicking on the flash drive icon. The pictures she’d taken over the course of the tour popped up on her screen. She reviewed a few of them quickly, and then took a quick look around. She could swear she’d heard a noise but chalked it up to paranoia.
She then began to upload the pictures to her email. As she viewed the happy faces in the photo’s she’d been downloading and a small twinge hit her heart...could it be regret?
“How could you do this!”
Shocked eyes turned “What?”
“You can’t actually be CHARGING him!?” her shrill voice replied.
Brown eyes turned with complete astonishment as she read the face of her accuser. “Look at what he did to me!” she replied pointing to her face.
Annette’s eyes narrowed “That is such bullshit! You can’t make me believe that’s what happened!” her voice then turned to a plead “I’m begging you, please, please don’t do this! I know your upset because he didn’t’ want you, and that him and I are together but please don’t blame this on him!”
She saw the mouth drop and then felt the blinding pain as a palm connected with her cheek. The last thing she heard was the sound of feet walking swiftly away from her.
Anger filled her heart.
Anger filled her heart.
She peered once again at the faces on the screen before feeling the resentment sweep through her as she once again looked at the happy faces on the screen. Why should they be so happy? Why wasn’t’ she the one smiling with the one she loved?
And as she looked as Kaiora’s weak smile she realized that she’d let herself down. “I promised that you’d pay for what you did to me” she whispered “I promised to take everything from you and leave you with all I had.”
Her hands then began to fly over the keyboard. “It’s time I for fill my promise.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pata sat back as the smoke from his mouth surrounded him “You can’t be here” said the man across from him.
Pata smirked as he took a small sip of his drink “I’ve been waiting three weeks Ronin” he said “I’m not moving.”
“Pata, if word were to get out that you were here...” Ronin tried to explain.
Pata’s face twisted in confusion “You think that word will get out NOW?” he asked “I’ve been sitting in Yoshiki’s office for three weeks and word hasn’t spread about it yet” he flicked his ashes “Is this why Yochan hired you? You worry more than he does...yikes...”
He shook his head “So...when do they arrive?”
Ronin gave an uncomfortable snort before he looked down at his papers “Two days” he said.
Pata nodded his head “And the girls?” he asked.
Ronin nodded as well “They were supposed to leave after Chicago however.”
“However one of the guys if not all found a suitable playmate for the tour” Pata finished as he took another drag “I know how that is.”
“It’s not that black and white Mr...”
“My name is Pata.”
“Pata...um...you see one of the girls Kaiora...she may be the reason for their prolonged stay.”
Pata stared at him awaiting an explanation. Ronin cleared his throat “She’s from Canada” he replied “it seems that she’s been in a sorrow-induced coma fro the past three months. Her friends were hoping that Yoshiki and the band could help ‘cure’ her, so to speak.”
“Sorrow-induced?”
“Her best friend died...”
An emotion flashed through Pata’s eyes. He then looked down at the drink he was fiddling with. “How?” he asked.
Ronin’s eyes ran over the guitarist, his once lazy exterior was now tight and tense. But he himself knew the reason, and it was one that was unfortunately met with reason. There was a question hanging above them and not the one he asked.
However he knew if he answered honestly it would paint a hard picture not only for Pata but for Kaiora if she ever met him.
“He-“
His phone rang. He looked down at his phone, before looking back at Pata who’s exterior was relaxed once again and he was sipping his glass. However the look in his eyes betrayed his calm appearance.
He lifted the phone to his ear “Ronin speaking”
“Ronin” it was Angela.
One of Yoshiki’s assistants in LA. She helped with PR...and she never called him. “Angela?” he asked “What’s the reasoning behind this call?”
“We have a huge problem Ronin” Angela replied, her voice thick with tension “I’m sending you a website...you need to see this...”
A bell sounded from his computer signalling a new email. He stared at it confusingly even though he knew it was Angela. He set his phone on speaker before putting it down, and he cautiously glanced at Pata who had the same curious look on his face.
Ronin walked over and quickly opened the email. He clicked on the link and the images that popped up caused his heart to stop. His mind began to race “When did these come up?” he demanded.
“They were found this morning”
Pata leaned further and further back attempting to get a look at the computer screen, Ronin thanked the gods that Pata didn’t’ speak English very well. And as he looked at the pictures he shuttered to think what Yoshiki would do when they became- “Are they public yet?” he asked.
“We’re doing what we can to hold them back from the press...however it’s already hit several fan pages...”
Ronin could feel the headache coming on “See what you can do about those” he said “I’ll inform Yoshiki as soon as I can. I’ll also see what I can do about finding out who posted these...”
“Where were they taken?” Angela asked.
“The girls have cameras.” Ronin replied “Someone must’ve stolen them...either that or we have a mole in the group.”
“Are you saying that one of those girls did this?” Angela demanded “Do you think they understood the repercussions of this?”
Her anger was starting to show and Ronin’s own frustrations were starting to surface as he thought about it “I’d be more worried if they were counting on it.”
He then heard Pata’s cigarette hit the ground as he had seen the pictures. “Please tell me she’s no less than 10 years younger than...what the fuck am I saying...the man doesn’t know how to date a man 10 years younger than him” he mumbled pouring himself a stronger drink.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A hand reached up and cupped his chin. It then pulled him down and her lips wrapped around his in a beautiful kiss. He gently covered her body with his as he reached down and pulled her body slightly off the bed, the groan from her throat caused a shutter down his body. Her hand went deeply into his hair and constricted around his locks.
He deepened the kiss momentarily before letting go and trailing his tongue down her chin and throat. “Yoshiki” she whispered grasping his head harder.
Her hands fluttered down his bareback and left small scratch marks. He traced his hand up her shoulder and brought down the bra strap on her left side before he leaned further down and kissed the spot the strap had been, he traced his lips along her collar bone to her shoulder. He then felt her legs wrapped around his and her hips rise.
He then lifted his mouth back to hers and encaptured her lips once again.
Knock! Knock! Knock! “Yoshiki?”
Both groaned as they heard Sugizo’s voice though the door. Kaiora unwrapped her legs as she let herself fall back onto the bed. Yoshiki smiled down at her and kissed her lips lightly “What is it?” he called not taking his focus off of the girl beneath him.
“I know your busy right now” a hint of sarcasm could be heard even through the door “However we have a serious problem that you need to look at. I can’t believe you turned off your phone.”
Surprise entered Kaiora’s eyes “You turned off your phone?” she asked in disbelief.
Yoshiki smirked as he kissed her hands before rolling away. She smiled shyly before lifting herself. She then reached off the bed and grabbed her shirt before lifting it over her head, a giggle escaping her mouth “What?” Yoshiki asked.
“Men are so lucky” she replied “They don’t need to wear shirts all the time.”
Yoshiki laughed “Some women don’t care if they need shirts” he replied.
A blush covered her. “Just get the door” she replied.
He let out a small laugh before opening the door, he then saw Sugizo’s stress filled face. “Sugizo?” he asked.
Sugizo sighed and held up a picture “There’s nothing to do but show you this my friend” he said in Japanese.
Shock formed over Yoshiki’s face as he stared at the newspaper that Sugizo was holding. On it was a picture he remembered quite vividly. It was the first time he had kissed Kaiora. The picture of them together in front of that piano any other way would’ve been considered beautiful, however the letters heading the picture made it almost disgusting.
YOSHIKI TAKES ADVANTAGE OF GIRL 20 YEARS YOUNGER.
Sugizo sighed “I think it’s safe so say we’re in deep shit.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: I've been watching old XJAPAN video's all night and my love for Yoshiki is 10 fold...originally he was going to find out right after a concert. However I just couldn't resist a small heated moment between him and Kaiora.
