Any Way You Can
by Psy
Part One
"Nee, Kyo?" Die gave the petite vocalist a slight push and waited. The
breathing remained steady and even, the eyelids didn't flutter even a little
bit. Kyo's body only shifted slightly then fell back in place on the couch.
Die let out an exasperated sigh and pushed him again, a little harder this
time, raising his voice.
"Kyo! Come on! Wake up!" the guitarist pleaded.
"What's going on?" Kaoru asked, coming into the dressing room, running a
hand through his new blondish-brown hair and fervently wishing he'd left it
purple...or pink...He shrugged inwardly. Maybe I'll dye it back next month,
he thought. (psy: Oh please do, Kao-chan!!)
Die turned, a frown on his face. "Kyo fell asleep again and I can't wake
him up. I almost don't want to 'cause you know how he is when we wake him up!
Talk about being a psychotic midget!" Die rolled his eyes skyward and
shuddered, remembering the last time he'd woken Kyo up. The small, seemingly
harmless blond had chased him around Kaoru's apt. with a scorpion in one hand
and a pair of scissors in the other. The redhead touched his now VERY short
hair and closed his eyes, sniffing back tears. "I miss my hair!" (psy: we all
do, Die-kun! btw, this is only a fun li'l idea behind why Die's beautiful
hair is practically non-existent now! I don't really know why he cut his
hair)
Kaoru placed a hand on Die's shoulder and with his other patted Die's
head. "There, there, Die-kun. It'll grow back." Die nodded as Kaoru looked
past him to the dead-to-the-world Kyo. "He was sent back here for a costume
change ten minutes ago...and it looks like he changed...how the hell did he
have the time to fall asleep?!"
Die shrugged. "Don't ask me! I came in here to get a few candid shots of
him changing to blackmail him with and found him fast asleep."
"Candid shots?" Kaoru raised an eyebrow.
"Uh...*fake cough*...hehehe, yeah." Die flashed Kaoru his oh-so-sexy
mischevious grin. Kaoru was not smiling. The grin faded. "Don't ask," Die
said quickly. (psy: but we wanna know!!! =D)
Kaoru blinked and then shook his head. "Okay. Whatever. We have to wake
him up so we can get this photo shoot over with. There's a new Gundam I wanna
buy and the stores are gonna close soon."
Just then Shinya and Toshiya appeared in the doorway.
"What's taking so long for Kyo to get his butt out he...Oh." Toshiya
didn't finish his sentence because both guitarists stepped aside to reveal
the sleeping Kyo. Toshiya pouted prettily. "I wish I was sleeping!" He
slumped against Shinya who promptly, but gently, pushed him away and stepped
into the room. Toshiya's pout deepened.
"Well..." Shinya said slowly. "We have to wake him up."
The others nodded, except for Die who glanced warily behind him.
"I already tried and I'm not trying again. If I'm the one to wake him up
I have a strong feeling he'll come at me with a shaver and then I REALLY
won't have any hair!"
Toshiya chuckled and went up to the tall guitarist, draping his arms around
Die's neck. "Awww!!! Poor Die-kun!"
Die scowled and disentangled himself from the bassist. "It's not funny,"
he said, walking to the other couch and plopping down, arms crossed at his
chest. Toshiya giggled.
"Alright you two, knock it off." Kaoru ordered. "Shinya..." the drummer
looked at him with a look of abject horror on his face.
"Oh no! No, no, no, no. I am NOT waking him up!"
The others merely looked back at him and nodded solemnly. Shinya lowered
his head in defeat and stepped cautiously up to the sleeping vocalist. He
looks so peaceful, Shinya thought. Like a small angel. He blinked his eyes a
couple of times surprised at the thought and reached out and tapped on Kyo's
temple. Kyo muttered something inaudible and turned over on his other side,
facing the back of the couch. Shinya sighed and glanced back at the other
band members. They raised their eyebrows at him and he turned back to Kyo,
his gaze lowering to Kyo's small butt. I should give him a swift kick right
in his cute little butt! Shinya thought, surprised by that sudden, unexpected
thought.
"Guys, how am I supposed to wake him up?!" he demanded. "He sleeps like
the dead!"
Toshiya got a small wicked smile on his face as he stepped over to stand
beside Shinya. "Try this..." he reached out and, taking a chunk of Kyo's hair
in his hand, yanked as hard as he could. As Kyo howled with pain, Toshiya
jumped backwards quickly to stand beside Kaoru several feet away, leaving
only Shinya standing by the couch with a shocked look on his face.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!" Kyo shouted, sitting up and turning to see Shinya
standing over him. "ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!?!?!"
"I...I...I..." Shinya stammered, holding his hands up defensively and
stepping back.
Kyo stood up and glared at him, rubbing the back of his head. "I can't
believe this! I'd expect Die or Toshiya to do something like that, but not
you, Shinya! You rotten little twig!"
"But I...I..." the now quite terrified drummer looked to his bandmates
for help. Kaoru was absorbed in the tattoos on his fingers, Toshiya seemed to
be having the time of his life playing with the strand of pearls around his
neck, and Die was spaced out, his hands covering his bright red hair
protectively. In other words, they were not going to help him!
"I swear, Kyo, I didn't do it! I would never do something mean like that!
I swear!" Shinya's voice quivered and he looked like he was going to cry.
Kyo stared him in the eyes, his own eyes narrowed, until finally he
sighed. "Okay, fine. I believe you."
"WHA...??!" The rest of the band, including Shinya, stared back at Kyo,
dumbfounded. He had never let anyone escape unscathed if they had woken him
up. Was he feeling well? they wondered.
"What?" Kyo growled.
Kaoru shook his head. "Nothing. Nothing at all. Uh...can you go finish
your photo shoot so we can get outta here?"
Kyo simply stared at him. "Photo shoot?" he scratched his head. "Oh
yeah..." He paused in front of the mirror to check his eyebrow ring, lip
ring, and the other various pieces of metal sticking out of his face before
sauntering out of the room. The others looked after him, breathing a
collective sigh of relief when he was gone.
"Whew!" Die exclaimed. "How long did that take?"
Kaoru checked his watch. "Fifteen minutes...plus the five or so you were
trying before I walked in...about twenty minutes in all."
Everyone groaned and Shinya glared at Toshiya.
"Don't ever do that again!"
Toshiya looked at him with big, innocent eyes. "What? Pull Kyo's hair or
leave you to take the fall?"
"Both!" Shinya replied emphatically. "But most especially don't leave me
to take the fall! I don't pull stupid, childish pranks like you and Die and I
don't want to be held responsible for something I didn't, and would NEVER,
do!" So angry he could barely see straight, Shinya stalked out of the
dressing room, leaving the others with looks of pure shock on their faces.
Die was the first one to speak. "Did...did Shin-chan just...yell at us?"
Kaoru nodded slowly. "Yes. Yes, I think he did."
Toshiya blinked back tears. "And he was mean, too! *sniffle*"
