**************************
Chapter 1
S.K.I.N
Two weeks earlier...
Yoshiki looked over the papers in his hands. “What is this?” he asked.
“Um…we’ve encountered a problem with the fans that were chosen to join you on the American tour” Ronin told him.
Yoshiki looked up “What kind of problem?” he asked.
“Well, actually one of them was brought here to discuss the problem” Ronin replied “If you’d like to meet with her.”
Yoshiki seemed to be weary of the ‘problem’ but nodded “Okay where is she?”
“She’s in your office.”
Yoshiki nodded “Bring her here, I think all of us would like to hear what the problem is.”
Ronin nodded and turned away.
Yoshiki turned to his band mates, who he’d just been having a tour meeting with, all seemed curious but it was Miyavi that broke first. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“There might be a problem with the fans we’re supposed to take on tour” he said “One of them is her to meet with us on that.”
Gackt nodded looking over the papers that Yoshiki had handed to him once he said ‘problem’. “Is this…an obituary?” he asked.
Yoshiki shrugged “Looks like.”
Miyavi’s neck stretched as he attempted to get a better look at the papers. “They’re written in English Myv” Gackt said without looking up.
Miyavi slouched, reading English wasn’t one of his strong points. Sugizo was leaning over Gackt’s shoulders, “Medical documents? What is...”
There was a knock on the door, “Come in!” Yoshiki called.
Ronin stepped in and was followed by a tall dark skinned man with his long black hair pulled into a braid, and a thin fairskinned woman with black hair styled erotically.
Gackt, Miyavi, and Sugizo stood up, followed by weird looks by the dark man. “This is Jo, and her brother Mike.”
As Miyavi moved to bow Yoshiki stuck out his hand, and shook thiers. Miyavi went slightly pink forgetting the countries edicates were different from Japan. “It’s nice to meet you” Yoshiki smiled warmly.
Jo nodded taking his hand “Thank-you for your time Mr. Hayashi.”
“Yoshiki will be fine, please take a seat so we can discuss this ‘problem’” Yoshiki told them.
After shaking the other’s hands Jo took a seat beside Miyavi who smiled at her. She gave a small grin before turning “I’m sorry if I seem a bit on edge” she apologized “But these past months have not been easy. And...meeting you three is a bit intimidating.”
Gackt then spoke up “There is no need to feel nervous, please tell us how we can help you.”
Jo nodded before she reached down to the back she’d brought and reached into to take out several papers. She then passed several to each of them.
Miyavi seemed relieved they were written in Japanese. “I know initially it was you who asked for my friends and I to help you. However an event happened three months ago that has lead my friends and I to ask you for help.”
All four musicians seemed utterly confused and so she continued on. “My friend Kaiora is the one who won this trip. And she was pretty much beside herself with excitement and happiness that she did.”
They all smiled.
“However...well, um...” thinking over the words she could put the news she bit her lip nervously and she knew that the curiousity was killing them, she could feel it raidiating out of Miyavi, so she took a breath “Okay, originally she was going to bring four people with her. Myself, and three others, Minami, Annette, and her best friend Corrin...however, a week after she’d received news that she’d been invited to this tour. He died. The events surrounding his death are still under argument but that which is undisputed is that...it destroyed Kaiora...”
She went silent thinking over the day that she rushed to Kaiora’s house. The things she’d seen and heard seemed to form a dark cloud over her mind and tears began to sting her eyes.
S.K.I.N sat in an uncomfortable silence. Mike then spoke up “The first month after, Kaiora was hospitalized three times. She almost died of dehydration, starvation, and...well...”
“A broken heart” Jo spoke up, she looked up “her best friend died, and she died with him. We’ve tried getting her councilling but she was completely unresponsive, we’ve trited talking to her but she just stares at us...like we’re not there. She’s been on tranquillizors designed for psychotics. We took her off them once when it seemed liek she was getting better but all she did was cry and scream...” she took a breath when she felt herself getting worked up.
“Would you like some water?” Miyavi asked placing a hand on hers.
She breathed deep “Um...no thank-you” she smiled “I jus...”
“The first night they told her that Corrin had died, she destroyed everything in sight and reach” Mike spoke up before his sister could start again She smashed her window, her window, tore up some of her clothes...she was admitted to the psych ward for a week and strapped to a bed because noone knew what else she would do when she punched through her bedroom wall and broke her arm. That alone took a whole two months to heal. But...even now when she wakes up all she does is cry.”
The room was silent as the four musicians took in the information that had been given to them. “I’m afraid I can’t see how we can help” Sugizo spoke up.
Jo’s head rose “Well...we’d like you to allow her on your tour.”
She was staring straight at Yoshiki when she said these words, and for a moment she could swear she saw a familiar look in his eyes when he looked at her. Yoshiki sat back. “If she’s so unresponsive...I don’t see how that would help.”
“But it would!” Jo said “You see...” again she took the time to think over her words quickly “before Corrin died, Kaiora had many interests and hobbies. Movies, painting, horses, piano, she was even learning drumming. But...but the main thing that she loves. Was music,” she prayed they were getting the idea “she loved music. Your music. I mean when she first started listening to JRock. Gackt, it was yours that she fell in love with. I swear I don’t know much Japanese but I can sing ‘Last Song’ no problem. And that opened the door that lead into the world of Japanese music, and she always listened to Miyavi after that. She knew all about X JAPAN and Luna Sea. She was constantly ordering cd’s and dvd’s off the internet just to get a piece of what she held such passion for. I mean, she even helped organized a JRock tribute day in Calgary. And she made a tribute video for hide and Kami...”
“Which you have to see dude” Mike spoke up again “they’re some of the best I’ve seen, professional or not.”
“...the point is,” Jo said with a glare to her brother “That she loved you guys. I mean, when she heard you were getting back into music Yoshiki she was beside herself! And when you guys announced that you were forming a group...well you get the picture. But what I’m saying is that this might pull her up...maybe not to her feet...but even if we can get her on her knees.”
The four seemed to be thinking over her words hard, Yoshiki and Gackt seemed to be thinking hardest. “You think that we can help her?” Yoshiki asked “You said you’ve tried everything.”
“Tell them about the videos” Mike said.
Jo looked at him and he nudged her “Well...tell them.”
“What?” Miyavi broke again.
She turned to them “We’ve tried everyday to figure out how to help her,” she said “but it seemed like nothing was helping. In all the excitement (if that’s what you want to call it) her love of music was forgotten. Until one day I was searching through her car, I stumbled on her iPod and that’s when I remembered. Anyway, I asked her mom where she put all Kaiora’s DVD’s.”
“Kaiora had pretty impressive DVD collection of JRockers” Mike interrupted gain “She was even waiting for a few more to come in.”
“Her mom gave me all her dvd’s, then me and Minami put some video’s together” Jo went on “Kaiora’s favourite thing to do when she was by herself or with friends was to watch concerts of you. So we put together a compilation of her favourite songs from you, along with some of her favourite extra’s and interviews.”
“They showed her the video and it was the first ‘human’ response anyone had seen from her in months” Mike told them “The first video was your drumsolo from ‘Last Live’ Yoshiki. The doctors, her mother, almost everyone said it was a stupid idea, that we were wasting our time.”
Jo nodded “But when the music started. She actually seemed like she knew what was going on. I saw a light in her that I hadn’t seen since Corrin died and that’s why we’re here.”
“The girls think that you might be the ones to bring her out of her stupor” Mike said “Before we watched those videos and set up a stereo in her room so that she could listen to the music she all she would do is sit and stare into space. But when they turned it on, by the third song...well...I suppose you’d have to see it for yourself.”
“If music can save lives, and you really are gods of music” Jo pleaded “Then I beg you to save her soul. I’m tired of watching my friend eat herself alive over something she had no control over.”
The four sat taking in the information that had been given to them. “Are you sure you’d even be able to get her here?”
“She’s shown great signs of improvement” Mike smiled “Like we said, her first real change started when we started putting videos and music together for her. I mean, she started eating by herself, they’ve allowed her to begin walking around again. While she’s still a long way from recovery...”
“Like we said” Jo spoke up “We’ve tried everything so far. This is really our last chance to attempt to help her...we having nothing more to lose...”
Gackt turned to Yoshiki and from the look he saw from his senpai, he knew that Yoshiki could only understand the girl far too much.
“Would you mind if we are given time to talk it over?” Sugizo asked.
Jo shook her head “No, take your time. Would you like to call us later about it or...”
“That won’t be necessary” Yoshiki spoke up “We’ll only need a few minutes, if you’d like to wait in my office. Ronin, will you get them some drinks please?”
Ronin nodded before the two stood and followed him.
Once the door was closed Miyavi was the first to speak, “It’s a big task to take on.”
“According to these papers her friends are all trained in caring for her. Basically all we’re being asked to do is entertain her” Gackt said with the papers in his hands “But we all know that’s not going to be the case.”
“We’re being asked to save someone’s life” Yoshiki spoke up.
The other three remained silent. Sugizo stared at his friend “Are you sure this is something you want to take on? I mean, it is quite similar to what happened with hide.”
Yoshiki nodded “I’ve thought about that” he replied “I do admit that the circumstances do make me a little nervous. However...”
The rest of the sentence hung in the air but was obvious to the three foreigners. Miyavi sat back “I want to help her” he said “I think that if we are the only hope for this girl to regain herself, then there’s no need to hesitate.”
The other’s had to agree “At the same time we do have the tour to consider” Gackt said “We’ll have to make it clear that while we do help her, we also have a job to do.”
Sugizo nodded “I think that’s why all the girls have been trained to...”
“That’s not what I meant” Gack interrupted, “In issues of...security.”
The three turned to him “According to her friend out there and some of the reports here. She can get rather violent. And there’s a deal of stress to work with while on tour. Especially when preparing for a show, and dealing with our dears.”
The other’s nodded.
Yoshiki fixed the papers in front of him “We have two weeks to prepare not only the tour but her arrival in that case. Is anyone against her joining us?”
The three looked to one another before each shook his head. “I just think that extra precautions need to be made” Gackt said.
Yoshiki nodded “Okay, so like I said. Two weeks. We’ll have extra security for her brought. Other than that it seems as thought her friends have prepared to take care of everything else.”
Each shuffled through their papers quietly for a few minutes before Miyavi spoke again “It looks like they’ve thought of everything. There isn’t anything special needed. Just a bed and peace when she’s resting.”
“Which looks like most of the day” Sugizo said “Other than that...”
“And Jo will take over her writing duties, which really makes no difference since the examples we were sent, were from both her and Kaiora” Gackt added.
Yoshiki still looked weary but pushed those thoughts and feelings to the back of his mind.
“So it’s settled then, Kaiora will join us on tour.”
The three nodded.
Yoshiki reached towards the phone and dialled a number “Ronin please have Jo and Mike back in here please.”

Present day...
Jo swallowed hard, the excitement surrounding her did nothing to wean her thoughts away from the worries in her mind. Kaiora’s family was making sure that her baggage was all put safely in the back of her. Her dad was checking off all her medication, however the biggest problem was her mom. “I still don’t see why she has to go!” the woman complained “She shouldn’t be galavanting off which a bunch of Chinese men! She should stay home and get some rest!”
Minami rolled her eyes “They’re not Chinese Ophelia. They’re Japanese (for the hundredth time)” the last of the sentence was dripping with poison under her breath.
“Yeah whatever” Ophelia rolled her eyes “But she should be at home...”
“Home is doing nothing for her” Jo argued “If anything it may just be harming her to stay here. We’re not going to the other side of the world. Besides, Kaiora really wanted to travel.”
Kaiora’s dad stepped up “It’s been settled Ophelia, she’s going.”
“Darrel I don’t want to hear anything from you!” Ophelia turned with a glare “This is your doing! You’re letting them take our daughter!”
Darrel turned away from her “She’ll do better getting fresh air, and not locked in that room like a prisoner! It’s been three months and we haven’t seen any kind of improvement other than when these girls bought that music back into her life!”
“That was not the music!” Ophelia argued “That was the day we changed her medication. And it was that, that caused her change. Not some boyband.”
Annette straightened and her sister Angel grabbed her arm “This is not the time” she said with warning.
Annett turned with a glare towards Kaiora’s mother, the woman was uncompromisingly faithless. She believed the thing that would save her daughter was drugs and a bed.
Angel heard her whisper “Stupid bitch” under her breath.
Angel shook her head and let go “Let’s just get ready. We almost have everything.”
As Ophelia and Darrel continued to argue over Kaiora, the four girls surrounding them only continued with their business. Minami slid the last bag into the SUV before closing the back door “That’s all that will fit…is that everything?”
“There’s Kaiora’s medical bag but other than that just our purses.”
Angel nodded “Good, okay. Annette can you and Jo go get her? We’ll start the car. And ask Mike to help.”
Jo and Annette hurried inside. “This makes no sense” Jo said once inside “Kaiora and her mother hated one another. They always fought. I don’t remember a time other than when Kaiora was younger that they actually got along.”
Annette shrugged. “Sometimes when something or someone is taken from another, they realize just how much they care for and love them. Seeing Kaiora like this, and having her almost die several times must have made Ophelia realize that she’s in danger of losing her daughter.”
“But she’s being a little…too clingy don’t you think?” Jo asked once outside Kaiora’s door.
Annette shrugged but seemed to be thinking it over herself “Let’s just get Kaiora out of here for now” she said.
Jo agreed.
The two stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Kaiora. She was sitting on the side of the bed. Her hair had been pulled into a high ponytail, with her bangs set to the side. She was wearing a blue corset and dark blue jeans with flack black boots that ended at her knees. Her makeup had been fixed and she wore blue sunglasses.
Jo stepped forward “Kaiora…did…did you dress yourself?”
Kaiora didn’t’ acknowledge being spoken to, she stared straight ahead with a blank look in her eyes, one that had been there since Corrin died. Annette then stepped forward noticing the paper in Kaiora’s hands, leaning down she read it over, “It’s Yoshiki’s letter” she said aloud.
Jo looked down and saw the words “I am pleased and excited to invite you to join S.K.I.N on tour…” she then looked up “Kaiora do you know what day it is?” she asked.
Kaiora made no move or sound.
Annette kneeled in front of her friend “Kaiora…today we’re going to join S.K.I.N on tour. It’s the day you’ve been waiting for. We’re going to meed Gackt, and Sugizo, and Miyavi, and Yoshiki.”
“I’ve met them already Kaiora” Jo spoke up “they’re really nice and sweet.”
Both jumped away as Kaiora then stood up, Annette scrambled to jump up and grabbed onto her incase she lost her strength “Are you ready to go?” Jo asked from the other side of her.
“I’m ready” Kaiora replied.
Both girls felt their hearts leap. “Let’s go then” Jo smiled.
Getting Kaiora out of the house and into the car was a task everyone had problems with.
First they had to get her down the stairs without falling down themselves, then when Kaiora stepped out the door she fainted. And her mother immediately started screaming. Ophelia turned with an almost desperate look “No! You can’t take her!” she said “I won’t let you! I’ll get a restraining order! Stop!”
Darrel grabbed her as she moved to run towards the house “Hurry up and leave!” he said.
Mike stepped between the girls, picked Kaiora up and carried her to the SUV. They strapped her in and said a quick ‘good-bye’ then headed towards Calgary. “I wonder what Ophelia will do” Minami voiced from the back.
“There’s nothing she can do” Angel spoke up “After Kaiora’s break down, her dad was rewarded custody and care of her. The courts still don’t trust Ophelica with her after Coledale.”
The silence was thick for a few moments before Jo smiled “This is great!” she said “I mean, we finally get to go on this tour. Kaiora’s with us and we’re getting off this reservation…”
“and we’re going to meet S.K.I.N” Minami yelled excitedly “I’m so jealous of you Jo, you got to meet them!”
“Well it was for Kaiora” Jo smiled “And yeah, it was defiantly an experience. Just looking at Gackt was enough for me…”
Annette laughed “Do you guys remember when Kaiora told us about the tour?”
“Yeah me and her were jumping up and down screaming in my room!” Jo laughed.
“She came to the mall to tell me” Manami said “I almost got fired for attack a customer!”
Everyone laughed, “Yeah, her joy was pretty contagious” Annette said “When she told me I didn’t even know who she was talking about and I started to scream in excitement.”
Everyone laughed, before a dark cloud wove around the car. Everyone turned to look at Kaiora, who sat like a lifeless doll staring straight ahead, her lifeless eyes staring at them behind her blue sunglasses. “She got herself ready” Jo said feeling the other’s tension.
Everyone except Annette turned with amazement “W-what?” Minami stuttered.
Annette nodded “We went to her room and she was sitting there and holding the leater that Yoshiki had written to her, telling her she’s been invited to the tour.”
“She even stood and spoke!” Jo said excitedly.
Everyone turned back to Kaiora, stunned to silence. And then a smile broke across each face.
