BLURRY EYES

He frantically looked for his brothers, having to stop ever so often by his so called fans. They congratulated him, hugged him. Everyone wanted a piece of him and then he spotted his brothers.

Shinji and Sakuya with Sendoh, Maki and Fujima. Wait� there was someone else. A certain someone whose hair gleamed as the spot light shone onto the audience.

That brown hair. He had grown so farmiliar with it. He would do nothing but stare at the picture he set on his desk. Dreaming about this boy every single day and night. He smiled as he excitedly continued forward. Coming closer and closer to his stranger.

Pushing his elder brother, he came face to face with the boy. Shinobu touched his face, flicking his soft brown hair to reveal the most beautiful cobalt-blue eyes.

�Kaji�� he muttered as he boy embraced him. The boys� attention was diverted to the stage when a soft slow and gloomy music was played by none other than the lead singer of Black Moon.

�I wrote this song some time back, for someone special. I know he�s out there somewhere, so if your
listening Shinji Umeda. This is for you� I want you back��

Calling mihate nu yoru no toiki no omosa
Setsunasani kokoro ga uzuite
Mou nanimo mienakunaru
Hanasenai
hanarenai
Tatta hitotsu no shinjitsu dake ga
Aa, kuchiburi wo atsuku suru

Calling, the heaviness of the sighs on the endless nights
I am in pain from missing you
I can no longer see anything
don't let me go
don't leave me
Only you I believe in
Aa, to warm my lips

Shinji held his breath. A song? For him? Wanting him back? Listening to Riki only brought him memories. Memories he fought so hard to forget as they poured back into his mind like some sort of drug

Calling in the night
Mune no kodo wo kande
Night after Night
Ai ga naiteru

Calling in the night
My emotions make my heart pound
Night after Night
love is crying out

A tear escaped, recalling the last few night he spent with Riki. Everything looked so perfect, it felt so
right and so good. Maybe this time Riki had changed? Maybe Riki still loved him?

Silent kotoba ni sureba kieteiku yume
Kamishimeru omoi no nigasai
Moo nanimo kikoenaku naru

I can hear silent words in my dreams
Shut out the bitter memories
I can no longer see anything

He closed his eyes, only to let more droplets to escape. He didn�t want to listen anymore. He knew
everything was just a lie. Riki hasn�t changed. He never loved him. Not now, not ever. He wanted to get away. Away from here, away from Riki.

Ienai ieyashinai
Ochiteiku yoru no atsusa dake ga
Aa, tada hitotsu no mirage

Don't tell me, don't say anything at all
Falling into the heat of the night
Aa, It's all just a mirage

Shinji turned his back against the stage, against Riki. With one deep breath, he started running. He
wanted to get away. He needed to get away.

�Shinji-aniki!!! Stop!!!� Sakuya shouted as he grabbed Sendoh�s hand thinking it was Shinobu as they ran after Shinji. Shinobu then grabbed Kaji�s arm realizing his brothers were no where to be seen. He
didn�t want to leave Kaji here. He didn�t want to loose him again. This time, he�s never letting Kaji go.

Silent all the night
Itsuka mita yume no hate
Omoi wa toiki wo kande
Towa no kanata e

Silent all the night
Someday I'll see that remote dream
My feeling for you bares sighs
To a faraway place

�Where are they going?� Maki asked Fujima, being the only two left

�I dunno�� Fujima said half heartedly. He saw the way Shinobu�s eyes shone when they saw Kaji. He saw the way their faces glisten when they were in each other�s embrace. He knew then, somehow, he wanted Shinobu more than ever.

Maki and Fujima diverted their attention back to Riki Mink who now had a violin in his hand, playing the last few notes of the song as it echoed through the field�
