Dangerous Play

Chapter 1: Abyss

"Down in the abyss..."

He sat and watched the singer lean forward. The pale rose-bud lips just barely ghosted across the girl's lips. It made him smile - the almost touching, the tentative dance, the ethereal, untouchable extra.

You think you can forget with this?

The corners of his mouth lifted up gently as he watched the song wind to its inevitable conclusion.

You will never forget. You will always come back to me.

Asagi stretched lazily as the rest of the band took a rest to shift their aching shoulders and backs. Hiroki paced the room, glad to have the opportunity to stretch his long legs. Sitting behind the drum set was a lot of work - but it soon became a little cramped in the small studio's recording room. Ruiza, glancing at Asagi, left the room for a much needed cigarette.

That left the newest addition to D.

The vocalist eyed the new electric guitarist.

Hide-zou-san. Yes.

A good addition, Asagi thought as he shifted his papers. Now... we just need the bassist - and we will be complete once more. Once more, Nightship D will sail the skies and...

Just thinking about it, he wondered what exactly he thought he was doing. That treacherous part of him chuckled darkly at his daring thoughts.

You think you are going anywhere?

"It's going well," Ruiza yawned lazily, throwing down a music critic's journal. "Who would've thought?"

"I expected as much," Asagi replied repressively. "It's why we chose it. That can only mean one thing."

"I know... Now that Rena's gone, we're gonna need that addition more than ever. Hide-zou can do either bass or electric, so it doesn't matter which, really."

“I prefer electric,” Hide-zou put in. “Look for a bassist. There are tons of good ones out there.”

“I don't want good,” Asagi said. "And even then, we've not had anything really good come up yet -"

"Someone will show up - they always do,” Ruiza said stubbornly.

"It can't just be anyone."

"No?"

"Of course not - if we are serious about going major, then we've got to get someone just as serious."

Hide-zou's eyes drifted between the two arguing men. Although he had great respect for Ruiza-san, his admiration of the dark vocalist was even more obvious. There was something about Asagi that was untouchable. Ever Since that night, I've wanted to be here... It looks like more than ever, we need to stand together. At his side.

When Asagi spoke of going major, Hide-zou had a very clear vision of what it would look like.

Yes. It will happen. Asagi-san said so.

Hiroki grinned, catching Hide-zou's eye and winked.

"Listen," Hiroki sighed. "We got a bunch auditioning this week. Let's look at each one of them as objectively as we can - and see where we go from there. Okay?"

"Whatever," Ruiza shrugged. "I just want us to be get going on this."

"Carefully. I don't want us messing up -"

"There's no such thing as messing up," Ruiza sighed.

"There is," Asagi said, in a hard voice, jaw jutting.

"If you mean, messing up as in crawling back to him for help," Ruiza stood up. "I'd die before admitting anything like that - before even considering that as an option."

Asagi didn't reply to the rebuke. His eyes never left his clenched hands.
