Rei woke up with a heavy head and a sick feeling in her stomach. She opened her eyes to find herself in Gackt’s bed, wearing her uncomfortably tight pants and Gackt’s shirt, which she didn’t remember she had on.
‘Morning.’ Gackt smiled. He was sitting up, his back leaning on the head of the bed. It seemed like he’s been awake for quite sometime now.
‘Morning…’ Rei murmured, blinking a few times before placing a hand on her head.
‘You okay?’ Gackt asked.
Rei nodded. ‘Mhm… did I… drink last night? A lot?’ She asked.
Gackt nodded his silent reply.
Rei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to remember what happened exactly.
‘I have to be at the studio in an hour… you don’t have to come in today if you don’t feel up to it.’ Gackt smiled, placing a hand on her forehead to check if she had a temperature or not. ‘You’re a little warm anyway.’ He lied.
‘No, I can’t not go, Yoshiki might get mad…’ She said, her eyes closed.
‘You’re not well, just stay home, I’ll only be a little while today.’ Gackt said, running his hands through her hair.
‘Good morning!’ Yoshiki greeted over the phone.
Tori had just gotten out of the shower when Yoshiki called, she’s had to race out of the bathroom to the kitchen where she’d left her mobile lying on the kitchen counter.
‘Hey.’ Tori replied, trying to make her towel stay wrapped around her.
‘You wanna come by the studio today?’ Yoshiki asked.
Tori almost dropped the towel, before answering with a hurried ‘sure’.
‘Good. I need your opinion on something.’ Yoshiki sounded relieved.
‘Yeah, no problem.’ Tori said, wondering what he could possibly want her opinion for. ‘Will Rei be there? I need to give her back her clothes.’
‘No, Gackt just told me she’s not feeling well…’ Yoshiki replied, a frown could be heard in his voice over the line.
‘Well after all last night I can imagine she’s hung over, but that’s no excuse not to work, when you knew you had to work to begin with.’ Tori replied finally managing to knot her towel firmly.
‘Exactly.’ Yoshiki voiced. ‘We don’t even have the bass line recorded yet, and I doubt Sugizo will be happy if I ask him to do it.’
‘How about I grab Rei on the way into town? I mean I am right here. I’ll grab her, pour some Advil in her if I have to and drag her in.’ Tori offered.
‘That would be great.’ Yoshiki sounded a lot happier then he had a moment before. ‘I won’t have to ask Sugizo for extra work. Gackt may be a little put off though.’
Tori waved her hand shrugging it off. ‘When isn’t Gackt put off with me?’
Yoshiki chuckled softly. ‘Touché. Your point. If you don’t mind I’d appreciate it.’
‘No I don’t mind. Don’t tell Gackt.’ Tori added as an after thought. ‘There’s no reason for him to be upset with you as well. You have to work with him. I don’t.’
‘Yes, well,’ Yoshiki cleared his throat. ‘Never mind. I’ll see you when you get here.’
‘Okay,’ Tori was puzzled by his reaction. ‘I’ll be an hour maybe two depending on traffic.’
‘Okay.’ Yoshiki confirmed. ‘See you then.’
The phone clicked off. Tori hung the phone up slowly. What could Yoshiki possibly want her opinion on? That lead to her second thought. What on earth was she going to wear?
Rei sighed as the doorbell rang. Her head was still pounding, but she wasn’t as nauseous as she had been after getting out of bed, She slowly went to open the door.
Tori was on the other side of the door, her streaked hair pulled up neatly in a ponytail and she was wearing a panted business suit the same color as her streaks. Under the suit jacket looked to be a white silk dress shirt. Her heels were the same color as her suit. Rei wondered briefly if she had to have them custom colored. She in comparison felt grungy. She had taken off her pants after climbing out of bed but otherwise made no moves to dress or undress.
Tori raised a brow at Rei’s oversized shirt and lack of pants. ‘Still in bed?’
Rei nodded.
‘You know it’s rude not to invite me in, but I understand you may be a little ‘off’ after last night. Let me get to the point. Get dressed. You have a bass line that needs to be recorded.’ Tori stated flatly and in a voice that demanded she not be argued with.
‘Gackt told me I could stay home.’ Rei stated pouting a little. She knew she had a bass line to record, but Gackt already called her in to Yoshiki.
‘I’m standing here looking at you and seeing nothing wrong with you. I’d hate to tell Yoshiki that when I stopped and dropped off your clothes you looked right as rain.’
‘How do you know I have a bass line to record?’ Rei asked suspicious.
Tori waved her hand dismissing the question. ‘You obviously know Yoshiki and I talk. You set it up if you don’t remember.’
Rei sighed. ‘My brain doesn’t want to work today.’
‘Get dressed. Grab some painkillers. I have things that need to be done besides babysitting.’ Tori crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently. ‘Ten minutes Rei.’
‘Fine.’ Rei stated crossly and shut the door in her face.
Rei was out of the house in fifteen minutes, but Tori knew when to pick a fight and when to let it go. Rei was wearing black jeans, what looked to be massively old Timberlands, and a t-shirt promoting Visual Kei. Her hair had been brushed but otherwise unplayed with. She was wearing oversized sunglasses that looked suspiciously like a pair of Gackt’s.
Rei climbed into the plush sports car. ‘What kind of car is this?’
‘This?’ Tori smiled and rubbed the dashboard lovingly. ‘This is my baby. Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 hard top convertible. She’s a rare make. Only like 200 convertibles made in hard top.’
‘You like cars?’ Rei asked as Tori pulled out of the drive.
‘Yeah. Had to have her and her sister imported from America. The Japanese have their own form of sexy cars, but I need my babies.’ Tori answered shifting gears easily. ‘They almost didn’t make it through customs.’
‘And you drive a clutch?’ Rei looked at the stick dumbfounded. She could barely drive an automatic.
‘I like playing with sticks.’ Tori said mischiviously making Rei laugh behind her sunglasses.
‘So what’s her sister?’ Rei asked.
‘Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.’ Tori answered shifting gears again and flying around traffic. ‘Smaller engine then my baby here, but better suited for the snow and ice.’
‘So you don’t drive this in the winter?’ Rei asked wincing slightly when Tori came centimetres from hitting a car as she was passing and changing lanes and shifting gears yet again.
‘Not if I don’t have to.’ Tori replied. ‘Not that it would matter as they’re both all wheel drive, but my baby here is all wheel steering too. I would do more drifting than driving on the ice. The Eclipse is lighter too. Not really good for ice, but less weight to throw around would mean I would stop spinning faster. Nothing to use as momentum you know?’
Rei only nodded and closed her eyes praying they would get to the studio in one piece with the mad driver known as Tori. Tori glanced over at Rei and saw she was tensed up and had her eyes closed.
‘You look a little tense.’ Tori commented.
‘Could you please keep your eyes on the road. I’d like to make it to the studio in one piece.’ Rei requested in a strangled tone.
Tori face went blank for a moment and then she laughed.
They arrived at the studio about fifteen minutes over an hour from the time Tori spoke to Yoshiki. Rei hopped out of the car quickly and thanked whatever angel Tori had that they made it alive. Tori gracefully exited the car and grabbed her briefcase.
‘A briefcase?’ Rei asked.
‘It’s also my purse, but I carry all my work with me usually. Just in case.’ Tori answered.
‘Oh.’ Rei stated.
‘Shall we?’ Tori smiled.
Gackt was standing in the doorway of the recording booth when they came down the hall. He walked up to Rei. ‘What are you doing here?’
Tori spoke before Rei could. ‘I was returning her clothes and noticed that there was absolutely no reason why she shouldn’t be here recording her bass line. So instead of reporting her to Yoshiki as you very well know I could have done I dragged her in.’
‘She’s hung over and nauseous.’ Gackt retorted.
‘A hang over is a result of stupidity and should not affect the work already planned for the next day. If it does then you shouldn’t drink should you?’ Tori asked coldly.
‘I’m going to go check my bass.’ Rei walked around the two arguing.
Once she was in the recording booth Gackt and Tori could here Yoshiki talking to Rei.
‘I don’t want her here.’ Gackt stated angrily to Tori.
‘Grow up.’ Tori stated just as angrily. ‘A mistake happened. That’s life Gackt. Obviously understanding your perfect world I realize mistakes aren’t allowed, but wake up. This is life. We’re only human and we’re not perfect. If you’re looking for perfect you’re only going to disappoint yourself in the end.’ Tori walked around Gackt and entered the recording booth.
Rei was tuning her bass, Sugizo was playing something simple on his guitar, Miyavi was nowhere in sight and Yoshiki was behind the glass wall at the controls when Tori walked in. Tori walked to Yoshiki.
‘Hello. Sorry I’m late.’ She said to him and set her briefcase down in an empty chair. ‘Where’s Miyavi?’
‘Getting some water. No you’re not late.’ Yoshiki looked up at Tori. ‘I assumed you were yelling at Gackt.’
Tori smiled. ‘Of course. It’s the highlight of my day to yell at him and make him feel small and superficial.’
Yoshiki laughed softly. At that moment Miyavi came back with a couple of bottles of water and handed one to Yoshiki. He didn’t even look at Tori. Before he could walk away Tori gently grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her. She studied his face and noticed the slight bruised outline of a hand.
Miyavi closed his eyes for a moment then looked Tori in the face. ‘I’m sorry.’ He said softly.
Tori smiled and brushed his bangs out of his face. ‘It’s not me you need to beg forgiveness of Miyavi.’
‘I’m sorry you had to witness what happened.’ Miyavi rephrased.
‘Do you remember what happened?’ Tori asked seriously.
‘Not really. Just bits and pieces. Everything’s really fuzzy. I don’t quite remember what I was doing when Gackt hit me ad I don’t remember anything after he hit me until I ran to the bathroom this morning to vomit.’ Miyavi spoke quietly.
Yoshiki watched them carefully. Miyavi had been silent all day and not his usually hyperactive self. This was the first he had spoken all day.
Tori searched his face, and then surprising everyone, kissed his cheek softly. ‘You owe Rei an apology for what you might have or not have done last night. You also need to apologize to Gackt.’
Miyavi nodded. ‘Will you tell me what I did?’
‘Why ask me?’ Tori asked.
‘Because you’re outside our circle and won’t bullshit me.’ Miyavi replied covering Tori’s hands with his and pulling them off his face.
Tori laughed gently. ‘No. I’m not going to tell you. If it comes back it comes back if it doesn’t then that’s how it’s meant to be. However I would suggest not drinking without a chaperon anymore.’
Miyavi nodded and looked at Gackt who had walked in and was talking to Rei. Rei was smiling at his and animatedly gesturing and talking back. ‘I don’t think he’ll accept an apology.’
'To err is human, Miyavi.’ Tori replied and let go of his hands.
He nodded and entered the recording room.
‘That’s the most he’s said all day.’ Yoshiki commented to Tori.
‘I imagine he’s trying to figure out what happened last night.’ Tori responded.
‘Gackt’s not the forgiving type.’ Yoshiki commented watching Miyavi approach the couple.
Tori was also watching Miyavi, Gackt and Rei. ‘I imagine if Gackt’s not the forgiving kind Rei wouldn’t still be living in his house.’
Yoshiki had taken that moment to drink some of his water and he choked. Tori looked over alarmed and started patting his back and leaned over to look into his face.
‘Are you okay?’ Tori asked concerned.
‘They’re living together?’ Yoshiki asked chokingly.
Tori nodded carefully trying not to laugh. ‘You didn’t know?’
Yoshiki looked carefully at her and saw the amusement in her face. Their faces were quite close since she had bent over to pat his back. Tori saw the looked and straightened up quickly.
‘You can’t avoid me forever.’ Yoshiki commented seeing Gackt look angrily at Miyavi and Rei puzzled as Miyavi was talking. Sugizo was also watching them from across the room.
‘When at work, work.’ Tori replied.
Gackt had said something because Rei covered her mouth with her hands and Miyavi yanked on his ponytail and looked frustrated. Miyavi was talking at the same time Gackt was and Rei looked like she was about to cry.
‘I think Gackt told them what happened last night.’ Tori commented nonchalant.
‘You’re not concerned?’ Yoshiki asked. Rei had started crying and Miyavi looked like he was crying too.
‘Tears purge the soul and help the healing process.’ Tori replied. Gackt had run his hands over his face and looked helplessly at Sugizo. Sugizo shrugged at his and gestured with his guitar pick.
Gackt bent down and pulled Rei to her feet and hugged her close. Rei buried her face in his chest. Gackt held one arm around Rei and with his free arm reached out to Miyavi and pulled him into the hug too.
Tori smiled. ‘See. All better.’
