Note: Isshi is mean and unpleasant, but Nao loves him, even he doesn't know, why.

"Nao, focus on your job, not on looking at your vocalist. Stop looking at him! I'm talking to myself in my head. I think I'm going crazy...” - those kinds of thoughts kept bothering Kagrra,'s bassist, with every live or rehearsal. He knew that vocalist is mean, unpleasant and even his fangirls couldn't look at him without his make-up. And he could take all of this with a smile and he didn't care about his looks without make-up. And he couldn't quite understand why he fell in love with him. He was thinking about this while sitting in a tourbus driving them to their next live and looking through the windows at the rain. Suddenly someone snapped their fingers in front of his eyes.

"Nao, you're sitting and staring through the window absent-mindedly. Did something happen and made you sad?" to is surprise, those words were said by Isshi.

Nao tried to remember, when was the last time vocalist been nice to someone.

"No, I'm just tired." replied Nao.

Isshi looked at him sadly.

"You're not telling me the whole truth. You're hiding something from me." he said and looked at the guitarists sitting in the back.

They both had their laptops turned on and were eagerly writing something. They did it in turns, which means...

"Hey, Sleeping Beauty and Frog Prince! What's with the gossip about us again?!" he yelled.

Shin quickly closed his laptop, while Akiya didn't knew where to hide.

"Your internet comunication is freaking me out." said Izumi. "Where this time? Ameba? Twitter? Like you couldn't talk to each other like normal people... Whose idea was this?"

"Akiya's." answered quickly Shin.

Black haired guitarist sent him deadly stare.

"Loyalty exam towards leader passed, the one towards friend failed though." said Akiya then took his laptop and moved somewhere else.

"Some people and their problems." Isshi smiled nastily. "Our Frog Prince pissed our Sleeping Beauty. Well, I guess he'll stay as a frog till the end of his life..."

"Leave Shin alone or I'll kick  you out of the band." threated him Izumi.

Isshi calmed down. Nao looked at drummer. Izumi never protected anyone with such kind of threats. Is it the...

"Love is in the air." he said quietly and continued looking at the rain.

* * *

They arrived to the Geijutsu Souzou Center club in Nagoya. Nao decided to look around the building. While walking, he found himself on a balcony. The stage was perfectly visible from this place. There was no one around at the moment. Staff went to get the equipment, and other bandmembers were doing something else. Izumi was getting his make-up done, Isshi tried to warm up his vocal cords, Akiya i Shin has some problems with their outfits... Only Nao was bored out of his mind.

Then something he couldn't predict happened. Barrier on which he rest his body broke and fell down, taking support away from bassist. Nao lost his balance and most propably he would fall too if someone didn't suddenly catch him.

When Isshi sat shaking Nao on his chair, nobody would know, who got scared more – victim or his savior.

"My Buddha, Nao, please. Don't scare me like that ever again." said with shaky voice Isshi.

"Thanks for the rescue." blurted Nao, when he was able to speak.

"My Buddha, if only I wouldn't come here..." Isshi's voice broke. "I cannot loose you. If something were to happen to you... I don't even want to think about it. I care too much about you, Yamada."

"Isshi..." said Nao, but vocalist shut his mouth with a kiss and then he hugged him.

And while they were sitting cuddled into each other, Nao heard something.

"Did you hear that?" he asked and stood up.

Isshi looked at him not knowing what he meant.

"What's going on?" he asked, but Nao silenced him with his hand and quietly approached the door.

He pulled the doorknob and opened the door rapidly. Two guitarist fell through the door. Isshi was very surprised.

"I told you, Shin, they'll work it out." said Akiya.

"They... You... I will kill you!" Isshi tried to hit them, but Nao stopped him.

"Relax, Shinohara. We need guitarists." stated basist. "And besides, how old are you to be angry over evasdroping on you? Fifteen?"

"It's also about them." Isshi pointed into Akiya's and Shin's direction. "How old are they to evasdrop on someone, like they're some teenagers?"

"Actually it was kinda immature." Akiya scratched his head. "But when you're waiting so long till someone finally realises the truth..."

"At some point you loose your patience." said quietly Shin. "We just wanted to ship you two."

"Anyway, we're sorry." Akiya bowed down a little. Shin did the same.

"Forget about it." Isshi waved his hand, still having a little grumpy expression. "Are we going to the changing room?"

"Yes." Nao smiled affectionately and entwined Isshi's fingers with his.

It was good this way.

Chibi's World

Band: Alice Nine&Kagrra,
Pairing: Tora&Akiya
Rating: 13+
Genre: comedy
Warnings: -
Note: Dog's point of view.



Chibi was laying in his bed, when his Master entered the kitchen. He sent him a smile, like usuall, then made himself a coffe, which he drank through the straw. He's always drinking through a straw, when he's in a hurry. Humans are weird.

"I'm sorry, Chibi, but I'm late anyway, so we'll go for a walk later." said Master and ran, like Chibi used to call it, to change his fur.

Today Master was smiling oddly again. Chibi did not remember the last time, when Master wasn't lost in his thoughts. Especially mornings. Master came back after two hours. He was thinking about something again. He went with him for a walk like he promised. Chibi liked walks. Since some time ago his walks were accompanied by those weird sounds, which people call music. Chibi would already sing that if he were a human. And when one guitar (yes one, dog's hearing is sharp) played it's solo, Master bumped into tree, street lamp, passerby, post or something else. Once Chibi had to pull Master's leg, so he wouldn't fall into a lake. Once he was to late - Master caught flu and Small Master and Smaller Master often came to visit. Chibi did not understand Master's condition. He didn't behave like that before. But since a really long time Master was always pensive. Chibi had enough. In the evening he layed down in his bed and fallen asleep. It wast night when he woke up. Master closed the door shut. He didn't came back. It was morning. Master wasn't coming home. That nice Blonde Master, who's always taking care of Chibi, when Master went to concerts, like Blonde Master calls it, also didn't came. It was noon. Chibi opened fridge with his nose. Master wasn't home, so he had nothing to eat. Master is not going to threaten him now with hitting him with his guitar, because he's away. And then the door opened. Master came back with something in shape of a guitar in his paw, and behind him some other Master went inside. Hm... Who's that? Chibi had seen him sometimes and he even knew that smell, but why was he carrying those big, rectangular, black thing in his paws, that humans call suitcases?

"Listen, Chibi, I'm sorry I left you for so long, but I didn't knew it will take me so much time." said Master and pet his head.

Chibi did not understand, why Master didn't hit him with his guitar for eating food out of fridge. But he noticed that Master finally didn't have that weird smile. He layed on his bed and fallen asleep. Yes, everything came back to normal. And there's another person to go for walks with him.

* * *

Chibi was already thinking that New Master's arrival will change everything. But for the better. But it didn't seem so. Why? Because New Master brought with him something with claws sharp like a razor and is constantly meowing annoyingly. Yes, that cat really annoyed Chibi. And she's thinking she's allowed to do everything. It's his house, his backyard and even his fence on which Chikin likes to walk. What kind of name is that? Yes, New Master's ideas for names are weird. Like his Master's.

"Hey, Little, what's up?" asked Chikin, when she came to tease him. Like usual.

"Nothing, Chicken, go away." replied Chibi.

He's going to bite her, tear her apart and bury her in backyard, but first, he'll make sure Master and New Master aren't close. Because both of them threatened him with their guitars if he did something to that cat. They also threatened the cat, but she doesn't care at all about that.

"My backyard was prettier, you know?" Chikin gracefully jumped on the fence. "And my house was prettier, like everything back there. And here it smells like wet dog. It smelled like flowers at my place."

"If you haven't noticed, brainless cat, My Master is allergic pretty much to everything. Esepecially those flowers and their stupid pollen." said Chibi angrily.

"I've been here for only one month, I don't know Your Master yet." explained Chikin.

"But I know everything about Yours and if I could, I would tell it all to the reporters, because everything's "secret" to him." replied Chibi.

"I would kill you if you did that." said Chikin.

"Yes? Then my Master would instantly throw you out through the window." replied Chibi.

"Then mine would leave him." said Chikin. "And poor thing wouldn't have his dog and his lover."

"What are you talking about?" Chibi kind of did not understand, what was going through her head. "My Master is a master, Yours Master is a master..."

"Aw, Chibi, I don't know if it's different with humans, but two males also can live together." explained Chikin to him.

"You know what? Humans are weird." stated Chibi.

"You're right." agreed Chikin, then she jumped off the fence. "So, Yours Master is allergic, yes?"

"Yes." noded Chibi. "And sometimes he's bumping into trees and other things."

"What? Mine's also constantly hitting something." Chikin came closer to him.

"Humans are really weird." said Chibi. "And their sight might be weak."

"You're right." agreed Chikin. "Wanna go drink some milk?"

"Sure." noded Chibi and followed her.

Maybe she's not that bad?

Phonecall at eight

Pairing: Tora&Akiya
Rating: 13+
Genre: romance
Warnings: -
Note: Akiya has problems with his dreams. And after a little accident, these dreams can become true...

He was asleep. His bedroom wasn't too big or weirdly furnished. Usual panels, black furniture and a TV. Maybe curtains with pear motiff hanging by two big windows looked ot of place. His bed was big, bedsheets white, like an illusion of his innocence, with which he had nothing in common.

He was sleeping so sweetly, nobody would like to wake him up. But there had to be that one person who wouldn't agree, because room got filled with sound of incoming phonecall. He moved his black bangs out of his eyesight and looked angrilly at his phone. He picked it up and answered.

"Yes?" he asked drowsily.

"Maybe you could finally show your face at rehearsal, Sleeping Beauty?" asked Isshi, then sighed heavilly.

"Isshi, give me back my cellphone!" he heard Izumi in the background. "I'm the one who wakes up those, who overslept!"

"But I want to finish this rehearsal and go home!" replied Isshi. "And it haven't even begun!"

"Yes, we know that Isshi. You're repeating this every time." said quietly Shin.

"Okay, I'm up, or else Isshi is gonna kill everyone and I'll be feeling guilty because of it." muttered Akiya and walked to the kitchen.

* * *

Akiya entered the rehearsal room, lost in his thoughts. He was thinking about the dream, in which happened so much...

"You stood up, you came, but you're still sleeping." said Isshi, sitting on a chair by the wall. "Fairy tale is over, Sleeping Beauty. Prince Charming won't come. You have to wake up by yourself."

"Do you always have to be so mean?" sighed Izumi, hitting lightly Isshi's head with a drumstick. "And leave those candybars or you'll get fat."

"Izumi, leave me alone." said Isshi reproachfully. "I just wanna go home."

"You were arguing with Nao about you being worse than usual or something?" asked Izumi.

Twang of a broken bass guitar string and candybar crushed with Isshi's hand explained everyone, why Isshi wants to go home so badly. His home.

"Well, we have a problem." stated quietly Shin and helped Nao change his broken string.

* * *

Rehealsal somehow went good, but they couldn't say it was a piece of cake. Akiya walked out of rehearsal room, contemplating. That was the reason, he bumped into someone. Sitting on a floor he looked into amused, brown eyes. He grabbed politely outstretched hand with nails painted black and with a tattoo on an index finger.

"Akiya-san, watch out or you might hurt yourself." warned him Tora and helped to get up.

"I'm sorry." said Akiya, with his eyes down. "I was lost in thoughts."

"I hope it was because of infatuation, not problems." replied Tora, smiling, then he went in his own direction.

"Yes, I was thinking about you." said Akiya to himself, looking at the floor.

Yes, Alice Nine's guitarist always made him feel weird warmth inside. Oddly enough, only Izumi noticed weird behaviour of his guitarist. He tried to make them get together, but back then, Akiya did not understand that he fell in love with him. He was so stupid! The worst thing is, lately Tora doesn't have time. Akiya could not say how many times he tried to talk to him, but always to no avail because of this or that. Akiya sighed. He went to his parking lot so he could go home and forget about it all at least for a while.

* * *

Akiya woke up suddenly, hearing Shou singing in English so badly, that many people asked, why he likes this song so much. It's easy - Tora composed it. He picked up his cellphone, suprised to see the name of a person he called so many times in his dreams.

"Yes?" he asked with a clear mind.

"Listen, Aki-san." begun Tora, seeming a little troubled. "My car broke down and now I'm in some boondocks. Come, pick me up, please."

"What about your bandmates?" asked Akiya, wondering, why no one wants to help Tora.

"I called Saga, but I heard only some swear word, so I didn't bother calling Shou. Nao and Hiroto sleep as hard as rocks, so only voice mail answered." explained Tora.

"Roadside asistance?"

"They do not answer."

"So, where are you?" asked Akiya.

"Somewhere between Tokyo and some willage north from it." answered Tora.

"Yes, that really helps me." said sarcastically Akiya and put on only pants and jacket over his pyjamas, wore first shoes he could find and ran to his car.

* * *

He found Tora's car after an hour. Arisu's guitarist luckily knew a little more about his whereabouts, so he could give more precise informations. Akiya got out of his car and ran towards Tora, who was shaking because of cold while standing beside his car.

"Tora, why you're freezing outside instead sitting inside your car?" asked worried Akiya then took off his jacket and put it on his friend.

"Because my heating went off and it's colder there than here." answered Tora.

Akiya opened his cars trunk and took out line, with which he attached Amano's car to his.

They were driving half an our, when Akiya noticed, that Tora had fallen asleep. Aki only smiled. Sleeping Tora looked so cute and innocent. Not how he does look normally... Usually he was an attractive man with beautifull, brown eyes, which should be looking only at him...

"Akiya, stop, you're acting like a fourteen years old girl." murmured guitarist to himself.

Sometimes he really did not understand his own train of thoughts...

Akiya stopped when they got to Tora's house.

"Where am I?" asked Tora, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"In my car." replied Akiya. "You can go home now. We're on your driveway."

"Ah, yes." Tora remembered what happened two hours ago. "Why you're smiling?"

"Because you look cute when you sleep." answered Akiya, not knowing how did he find courage to say theese words.

"I look cute when I sleep?" asked Tora. "Why do you think so?"

"Nevermind." replied quickly Akiya and got out of his car, to detatch Tora's car from his.

Tora came closer to the door. When he turned key in door's lock, he realised, in a while it will be to late to confess about something. He turned around and said:

"Akiya, I have to tell you something..."

"Yes, Tora?" Akiya was curious about what Tora has to say.

"I heard, when you answered my question, that time in the hallway..."

Akiya was surprised. Only one question came to his mind - "How?". But then he remembered he was looking down and didn't see where Tora went. More importantly HOW FAR he went. Maybe he said it too loud.

"Tora... I..." Akiya tried to say something but he couldn't say a word.

He just couldn't. He couldn't now, like he was unable to for half a year, since he realized he fell in love with Tora. And when he did? Maybe even one year ago, because of that fanservice in one of "Kagrra, no su" episodes...

"I love you too." answered his unspeakable words Tora and kissed him, which completely dumbfounded Kagrra,'s guitarist, but after a while he started to return his kisses. Tora stepped back for a while and grabbed his hands.

"Come, my koi. We'll finish our play at home." he said and smiled seductively.

"Yes. You're absolutely right." agreed Akiya and closed the door.
