Ren is now Ren and Masa is now Masa! Sorry for the initial mix up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mana hummed happily to himself as he walked down the street. No one would have recognised the formally solum and reserved guitarist of before. For some reason Mana found himself completely unable to stop smiling. He just felt so very cheerful and bubbly. Maybe it was the influence of those kawaii jrockers. Just being around them made the world seem a lot more happy and nice. He was even wearing a grey and blue pant suit. A more feminine cut yes, but still pants. Though the large floppy bow at his throat ruined any masculinity the outfit might have had. That and the make up.
Okay some things never change.
Levin, dressed up as a victorian era school boy in black velvet, walked behind Mana trying not to look at the smiling cross dresser. Despite Mana's more cheerful attitude he still scared Levin witless. He would have run away but Mana was leading him along by a silk scarf tied around his wrists. That had been Izam's idea when Mana had asked to take Levin with him. Levin wouldn't go along otherwise.
After awhile Mana stopped at the back gates of the Tokyo dome. Levin took this opportunity to tug desperately at his bindings with kawaii little whimpering scared noises.
"Here we are! I knew Gackt had a concert coming up soon. Now it shouldn't be too hard to hard to get inside. After all we both know him. I can't believe he never introduced us." Mana muttered half to Levin half to himself.
And indeed it didn't take long. Through a guard's walkie talkie Gackt gave permission to let Mana and Levin in. Mana led Levin through the back stage effortlessly having been there many times before.
Gackt was on stage working with the choreographer on some new moves so Mana and Levin, still trying to get free, wait back stage. The Gackt Job members were on a break while Gackt worked and were all wandering around aimlessly.
Masa and You ignored them for the most part. They were arguing over who was prettier and who got the most "fan service" from Gackt during concerts. Others were eating at the long table set up in one of the up stairs rooms.
Mana scanned the back stage his more neutral expression settling over his features as he concentrated. Levin still didn't know what they were doing here so he continued to work at his wrists. The same thought circling through his mind.
*Got get 'way from scary pretty lady.... Got get 'way from scary pretty lady.... Got get 'way from scary pretty lady.*
Then to his utter horror the scary pretty lady who Had been ignoring him for the most part turned to him. Levin froze in fear waiting for something terrible to happen....
Mana undid his wrists.
"Now Lebi Lebi, I need you to do something for me. Go over there were that adorable Ren boy is and get him to join the band. I'll distract Gackt as he will notice what's going on. Now shoo!" Mana said with a pat to his head before turning towards Gackt who was walking off the stage with a welcoming smile.
Scampering off before Gackt could see him Levin hid behind some speakers. He hadn't heard a word Mana had said. He was just too frightened of the guitarist to listen. He didn't know what it was about Mana that scared him so, after all Hiro had been just as gothic in his costumes and make-up. Mana just scared him.
He huddled down and vowed to stay there until someone found him or he was absolutely sure the pretty scary lady was gone! He wasn't hiding for long when a adorable face apeared above him.
"Hello. I saw you dart behind here when Mana-san let you go. Why are you hiding?" They asked sitting on top of the speaker cross legged and staring down.
Levin trusted this one.
"I'm hiding from the scary pretty lady." Levin said in all seriousness.
The other blinked then giggled climbing down the sit beside Levin.
"Yeah, I guess Mana could be called that." He snickered.
"Hey the names Ren, what's yours?" he asked.
"Levin."
"So why are you here too?"
Suddenly Levin remembered what Mana had said now that he was less frightened then before.
"Oh yeah! I'm here to convert you to the cute band! We're gonna take over the world and stuff. Wanna join?" Levin asked all his cheerful bubblyness back.
Ren blinked at him then shook his head violently.
"I could never leave Gackt-kun! He's much too important to me. This band sound like fun... But I just can't leave. We have a concert tomorrow and everything!"
"Oh... " Levin sighed wondering what to do now.
Then You and Masa walked by still arguing over the fan service debate.
"Please You, you KNOW I get more fan service then you do. Who is it on stage during Vanilla trying to play while Gackt is sitting on him among other things?"
"And who was naked with him during the photo shoot? Just because you get some on stage action doesn't mean you get anything else Masa."
They wandered off but Levin wasn't listening to them anymore. Ren had a rather tragic upset look on his normally cheerful face.
"Why is it always Them? All they care about is a quick tumble, the first band member to do him. I'm the only one who really cares and he never glances at me twice." Ren sniffed as Levin tried to comfort him while not crying himself.
*That's so SAD!!!! I have to do something. But what?*
"It's always the pretty ones. I'm too short, too child like for him. If I was more serious or more mature he'd probably like me more. I'm just the cute adorable one. The little brother..."
And Levin got an idea.
"Ren I know what you can do! I bet if you join the cute band Mana *shudder* can help! He dated Gackt once and I bet he knows what you can do to snare him." Levin smiled giving Ren's shoulder's a squeeze.
"You think?" Ren asked looking hopeful.
"I'm positive!"
"Okay then I'll join!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They left an hour later after a grinning Masa had found Mana and Gackt.... Ahem busy in Gackt's dressing room. After they left it took another hour before they realized Ren had left with them. A little note on his dresser saying he'd left Gackt Job for 'a little while' and that he'd be back 'later'.
Mana was smiling smugly all the way back, muttering that he still had it and trying to fix his mussed hair. Levin spent his time comforting Ren and telling him it was just because Mana and Gackt had been involved before and that he still had a chance. All the while making sure there was as much space between him and Mana.
Once back at the apartment they all gathered once more to figure out who the last guitarist would be. No one could agree on who. No one was cute enough, or not a rocker. That and Ren was still sniffling and glaring at Mana, who was trying to huggle Levin, who was trying to get away. Izam was giggling over what some teen magazine was saying about him while Jiro tried to get rid of his headache with half a bottle of tylonol.
"Having troubles?" A voice asked Jiro from behind as he glared at everyone else in the room.
"Yes. We can't decide on a guitarist.. Not that their trying too hard to brains storm." Jior sighed closing his eyes.
"Oh well I can slove that problem. I'm cute enough on my own for three bands! Litterly!" The voice laughed patting Jiro on the shoulder.
"Well that's nice of you.. Hey wait a minute..." Jior counted how many people there where in the room and realized the voice added an extra person.
Whirling around in his seat he got a look at the mystery guitarist.
"Oh my fucking god..." Jiro breathed as his eyes went wide.
Everyone else paused in their antics to stare with equally huge eyes.
"H- h- hi- hi- hide?" Jiro stuttered shocked to see the pink haired guitarist standing behind his couch.. Alive standing behind his couch!
"Hey this band defy's all logic and will have the power to take over the world. Why not the power to bring back the dead? Uh I'm starving! Got any food around here? Gods you'd think I hadn't eaten in four years..." hide complained rubbing his stomach and stick his tongue out the side opf his mouth with a grin.
"Um yeah hide sure...." Jiro muttered slowly getting over his shock.
After getting some food for hide he got everyone gathered in the living room again. Strangly enough hide fit right in. Jiro faced them all with a solum expression.
"Now that the band is complete we shall create our image tomorrow and then...."
"We get Kyo."
Dun dun dun.
