The Concert
By Ukari Love

I had a great idea for a fanfiction after I read the comic. The idea I had went really well with a song that was on my playlist; the song is by Pat Benatar and its name is "Heartbreaker." The idea I had was that Yumi had some friends from her old school show up and convince her to sing for them like she used to at one of their concerts… won't tell to much thought.

Characters: Miyabi, Yumi, Toshio-san, Eizo-kun, And some that I will make up along the way

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yumi walked home from another long day of school. In the past several days Yumi had really considered leaving the school and never going back again. 'What did I do wrong… Why does he hate me so much…I wish I knew…? Then maybe… maybe…' Yumi thought to her self as she looked downwards at the down.

There were sounds of footprints were right behind Yumi as she walked. She stopped suddenly to look back to see who it was only to get tackled. "HELP ME!" Afraid Yumi began to scream out loud hoping that some one near by might hear her. "HELP ME!" She yelled out once again. From behind her came a giggle that Yumi believed she knew. "Oh, please some one help me… help me…!" The person said in a sarcastic tone as they continued to giggle.

'It couldn't be…' Yumi thought to her self as she was on the ground. In a whispered Yumi managed to say, "Yukari?"

The person behind Yumi had released her from their grip and replied, "Ai, it is me." Both of the girls stood up and began to brush them selves off.

Yumi had hardly taken to time to look up at the girl, almost like she had forgotten in those short seconds. Standing only two feet from Yumi, Yukari stood with her hands on her hips. Finally when Yumi looked up she noticed the girl short spiky black hair and all her dark clothes.

"Hey Mi," It had been a very long time since Yumi had been called that. "How have you been… me and the guys are down here doing a show and I thought I would drop by and say 'ello."

With out warning Yumi flew forwards and wrapped her arms around Yukari, who was a whole head taller then her. Quietly she began to sob in to Yukari's shoulder. Confused with the outburst of emotion Yukari placed one of her hands on top of Yumi's head.

"Hey, this wasn't meant to be a sad meeting… I didn't mean to make you cry, Mi… you ok…?" Yukari whispered to the sobbing girl.

"Oh, 'Kari it's terrible here… I miss back home so much… I miss you guys… I miss the old school…" Yumi looked up. "I even miss all the old teachers that I said I hated so much there… every thing is really different here." Yumi continued to sob in to Yukari's shoulder.

Yukari patted the top of Yumi's head softly and whispered, "It's alright… I'm here now…" Though it looked like there was a hidden passion there, Yukari was Yumi's best friend and they were more like sisters then anything else. Yukari continued to hold the girl close to her.

After letting the girl sob in to her shoulder for the better have of five minutes, Yukari looked down at the girl with a smile. "I got a surprise for ya… all the guys are at your house waiting to speak with you. Come on Mi, lets go see them… that might make you happier… then we can talk about this later…"

Once the door opened three more people tackled Yumi, each of them were saying something so it was very difficult for her to understand any of it. As she stood in her doorway with three people hugging her she looked past them and saw one more person. He was sitting on the couch when he looked up and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Hi Ryu!" Yumi said in a sarcastic way. She said to the boy with blond hair who was sitting on the couch sticking out his tongue.

"Hola chicky-poo!" He replied back to her.

Slowly the three that were hanging on to Yumi let go and stepped back. They stood tallest to shortest. Each of the three was very different from the next. The tallest one with short nicely cut brown hair was Gen. She seemed like the oldest in the group and acted as if she were. Asa was the one who stood next to Gen; she had long blond braided hair and also wore glasses. Then last was the shortest person in the room, she had pig tales in her pink hair her name was Eara. She was the youngest out of the group so she was the sister in every one eyes.

"You all look great. It has been so long since I have seen you all. I missed each and every one of you. I can't believe you're here." Yumi let out a high pitch scream. Each person in the room covered their ears at the same moment.

~~~

Miyabi was sitting in his room with his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling. He had that look as if he were thinking of something once again. Toshio walked in and threw something onto Miyabi's bed to get his attention. Still sitting very still Miyabi looked down at what it was that Toshio had thrown at him.

Right beside him a poster had unfolded with the words 'Toxic lipstick' on the top. Miyabi looked back at Toshio with curiosity in his eyes. "What's this? Who the hell is toxic lipstick? Sounds like a girly band…"

"They have a show this Friday…"

"This Friday?"

"Yes, this Friday."

Miyabi sat up slightly, "What does this have to do with us." Slowly he unfolded the whole poster to get a good look at it. "Ha! I was right a chick band… the only guy there is probably gay…" He then turned to Toshio. "Alright… why did you show me this…?"

Toshio looked down at him in a very serious way like he always did. "You wouldn't want them to get signed to our record now would you. Tsuyoshi says we ought to go see… he says that they are really good…" Toshio looked at the poster that was in Miyabi's hands. " They don't look that bad… we should go… get them to open for us…"

Then while Toshio was talking Miyabi threw the poster on to the floor and went back to how he was sitting before Toshio began to speak with him. "Yeah… whatever… I don't care…"

~~~

The next day for school Yukari had decided to go check out the school just to give her something to do while the others were still dragging them selves out of bed. While Yumi was finishing getting ready for school Yukari came in to the room and stood at the door way.

When Yumi turned and her jaw dropped to the floor. Yukari did not have her hair spiked up like she usually did and she was wearing something that looked a lot school uniform. She looked very different and it had shocked Yumi to see her like that.

"Stop looking at me like that, Mi! They probably wouldn't let me in to your school if I were dressed the way I usually am… and besides… you know how I am with change and getting every ones attention."

"Yes 'Kari… I know how you are… but I don't think that you will get any ones attention in my school dressed like that…" Yumi giggled. "You got to remember they don't know the 'Kari that I know… so they wouldn't find this as surprising as I do right now."

"Yeah… Yeah… just told tell my mom… she probably would have a cow if she knew…" Yukari smiled back at Yumi. "Come on I'm going to get you to school… I don't want my little Yumi to be late now do I…"

Yumi grabbed her things and ran toward Yukari linking arms with the girl. The night before they had a long conversation about every thing that had happened so far in this place. Yumi would tell her every thing that she thought Yukari wanted to know (which was everything.). Once they arrived at the school Yukari looked up wards at the school.

"You weren't kiddin' when you said that this school was big… wooh…" As Yukari was looking upward some one had bumped in to her from behind. She turned around and she saw a boy that looked at lot the Miyabi that Yumi had mentioned to her.

"Hey, Bitch watch were your going…"

Right then Yukari had figured out for her self that this boy was none other then Miyabi. "Oh yes… because you know I was really going some where just standing still… damn these stupid eyes in the back of my head… I think that they need glasses."

Miyabi stepped forward slightly and was face to face with Yukari. The girl had stood much taller over him. "Are you being sarcastic, bitch?"

"I suppose I am… are you being stupid… wait yes you are…" Yukari looked down at the boy who was in front of her.

It had taken Miyabi no time to realize Yumi standing behind the tall girl. "What the fuck are you doing… you have to get some one to fight your battles now for you… I told you once I've told you twice… I never wanted to see your face ever again you little…"

Before Miyabi could say any more Yukari grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and hissed at him. Then a second later after she had hissed she said in almost of a whisper. "You'd be wise not to make fun of her, especially when I am standing right here… you leave her the hell alone… do you hear me you little…" While Yukari was talking to Miyabi she could feel a hand on her shoulder.

She looked backwards and there stood Yumi with tears almost in her eyes, "Please, 'Kari… just leave him and lets go… please…" Yukari released the boy and she began to walk away with Yumi.

Miyabi looked back at his friends then he looked once more at the two girls walking away. "Who the hell is she…?"

There was silence between Yukari and Yumi as they walked in to the school. Then suddenly came a person running up and glomped Yumi. As she stood there trying to figure out who it was that was hugging her she sarcastically said, "Why does every one keep doing that…" She realized that it was Eizo-kun who had attacked her. "Eizo-kun, how are ya…"

The boy continued to hold on to Yumi tightly, "OH MY GOD THEY NOTICED ME! THEY NOTICED ME! NOT LIKE THEY DON'T NORMALLY NOTICE ME BUT you know…" Eizo-kun yelled while he held on to Yumi.

Yumi began to turn still will Eizo-kun on her toward Yukari. "This is Eizo-kun… he's a little hyper…" Yumi tried to push Eizo-kun off her but it did not work as well as she had hoped it would. "Eizo-kun?"

"Yes, Yumi…?"

"Can't breath…!"

"OH!" Eizo-kun released the girl and began to dust her off. Then finally he turned to see whom it was that Yumi was speaking with, Yukari had her hands in her pokes and smiled at the boy. As she stood there silently he looked pasted her for a moment and saw a poster on the wall. He looked at the poster then back to Yukari. "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE HER!"

Yukari looked worried and nervously she said, "I'm who?"

"You're her…!" Eizo-kun pointed past Yukari to the poster on the wall. Yukari looked back to see what it was that he was pointing at, a smile came to her face seeing one of the posters of her band up.

She then turned back to Eizo-kun and smiled. "Yeah I guess I am…"

Eizo-kun then began to act the way he usually did with Orochi with Yukari, Worried the girl looked up with her eyes wide. "Should I be scared, Yumi…"

"Nah, it's just the way he is… no need to be scared…"

Yukari leaned in to Yumi and whispered, "Well I am…" She then turned back to Eizo-kun and smiled. "Do you get like this with each of Yumi's best friends… or only the ones that are in a band…"

Slowly Eizo-kun's face dropped, he now looked quite sad. "…Best friend… but, but, but… but…" He looked as though he was about to cry. "… Best friend…?" Eizo-kun's lip began to quiver.

"Oh no I think I broke him…" Yukari laughed silently as she looked at Eizo. "What did I do…?" Yukari put her hand on the boys shoulder, as he was about to cry. "I'm sorry… did I say something to upset you…?"

For a moment it looked like Eizo-kun was going to continue to cry, then he began to jump around. Leaving the two girls he ran down the hall. 'OH MY GOD SHE TOUCHED ME! THE SINGER FROM TOXIC LIPSTICK TOUCHED ME!"

Still confused Yukari raised her eyebrow. "That boy is… is… well… I don't know what he is…" Yukari shook her head and then remembered something. "Talking about Toxic Lipstick I was wondering if you would sing a song with us on Friday… it would me a lot to me and the crew…"

"Come on Yukari you know I don't do that any more… not since what happened… nah I couldn't do it here… before it was cool cause I knew every one… but here it's like I'm a completely different person… I would probably get so scared on stage and mess up every thing…No, Yukari… I don't want to… but I'll come to your guys show any way…" Yumi looked at the time. "I got to get to class… will you be ok by your self for a bit…?"

"Come on Yumi it's me who you're talking to… of course I will be fine. Talk to later all right. I know you said you didn't want to but could you at least think about what I asked you." Yumi then ran off.

~~~

Yukari had been given permission from the schools office to walk around the school just as long as she didn't make any trouble for her self. She began to travel around the large school by her self just looking at all the things that this school had, that he other school didn't. While she was walking down the hall she stopped quickly when she noticed the recording room.

Coming from the other way was Toshio he was carrying a large box so he could not see what was in front of him. Then the two in the hallway crashed in to each other. Yukari had fallen down and once she was on the ground she saw Toshio a cross from her. She quickly got to her feet and help Toshio to his feet.

"I am so sorry… I didn't see you coming, had I; I would have never stopped there. Here let me help you with that." Yukari started to help Toshio carry the box. "I am so sorry about that… where were you taking this I'll help you…" Yukari looked past the box and to Toshio.

"I was just going in there…" Toshio nodded his head to the door that was behind Yukari.

Once the two got the box in to the room and put it down Toshio got a good look at the girl. "You're the girl from this morning… the one who yelled at my friend…" Toshio didn't seem to have any emotion on his face.

"Oh that guy… yeah… well I don't take to lightly to those who pick on my friends. I am sorry if what I said this morning had offended you." Yukari put her hand out to Toshio. "My name is Yukari… sorry about bumping in to you…"

Toshio put a little smile on his face as he took the girl hand. "It's all right… nothing got broke, thank for your help. My name is Toshio." As they were shaking hands Toshio realized that she was one of the girls on the poster. "So you're from Toxic Lipstick…"

Yukari smiled, "For a place that doesn't know us well I sure do have a lot of people saying that to me today. Yep, that's me… of course I look much different then what I look right now… I just dressed this way for Yumi…"

"Our Managers now each other…"

"Oh!" Yukari looked surprised. "You're from… Orochi…" Yukari giggled slightly. "Sorry I never seen or heard any thing from you guys so… I don't know what you should like. So you much be the drummer… that's cool…so are you going to check out our show on Friday…?"

The door to the room opened and Miyabi stood in the doorway glared down at Yukari. "What the hell is she doing here…?" Miyabi yelled.

Yukari stood up and began to walk to the door. As she pasted Miyabi she narrowed her eyes and hissed a little at him. Then she began to walk away from the room. Miyabi turned to Toshio and looked as though he was about to yell at him.

"Before you say any thing… she was helping me with the box…" Toshio stood up and walked out of the room before Miyabi could yell at him like he thought he would. Miyabi was standing in the doorway by him self glaring at the people that weren't there.

~~~

During her class Eizo had managed to speak about Miyabi and Yukari the whole time. "You know what would my me so happy… if those two bands were one… all those hot guys with all so hot girls and guy. What would they call them selves 'The Orochi lipsticks? Lipstick Orochi? Toxic Orochi? OH!!!" Eizo then began to scream and go on. "That is so great! I don't know who I love move… Orochi or Toxic Lipstick… Well Orochi has a LOT of hot guys…and I just love them so much… but does that mean that I can't love Toxic lipstick… oh I am so confused…"

Yumi had drifted away from the conversation and began to daydream to her self. With out her knowing she began to hum to a song. While she was humming she was looking out the window of her classroom and noticed Miyabi sitting out side by him self. She wanted to pull her eyes away but for some reason she could seem to.

Although she had found her self-disliking the boy she could understand why so many girls (and Eizo) fell for him. When he wasn't speaking he was a very good-looking boy, and his singing voice was like no other that she had ever hear. It was strange that he could sing so lovely and be filled with so much hatred. Had Yumi not been afraid of the boy she would most likely have a crush on him.

"Don't you think, Yumi?"

Yumi shook her head making her come back to the real world. She noticed that Eizo had been talking to her. "Hmm… What…?" Yumi said in a confused way. She made herself stop staring at Miyabi.

"Weren't you listening to me…?"

"Um… yeah… sure…!" Yumi said with a smile.

Eizo's face dropped and he looked as though he did this morning when he met Yukari. "You think that the bands are going to break up…?" Eizo began to cry. Every one in the classroom began stare at him.

Yumi tried as she could to make Eizo stop crying. "No the bands aren't going to break up, don't worry Eizo-kun!"

Eizo then stopped crying and changed to his happy face. "Oh ok!" Yumi let out a big sigh. She began to laugh slightly at the extremes of Eizo's emotions. She looked back out the window and Miyabi was no longer then.

"Hey, what would you think if I sang for Toxic Lipstick on Friday…?" Eizo went on talking for a moment not really hearing what it was that Yumi had just said to him. Then all of the sudden he stopped talking and turned to look at her. He raised his eyebrow to her and then said, "Did you just say what I think you just say…?"

Yumi began to blush slightly, "What if I sang for Toxic Lipstick…?"

"You can sing…? How come you never told me…?"

"You never asked…?"

"You have the chance to sing with Toxic Lipstick?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"WHAT DO I THINK?" Eizo yelled and from the other side of the room the teacher threw him a cold glare. "What do I think?" Eizo said in a whisper. "I think you should do it. I wish I were as lucky as you to be able to sin with a band… oh Orochi…" Eizo then trailed off and began to daydream about one of the boys in Orochi. Yumi snapped her fingers in front of his face to bring him back. "Oh… um… yeah… sorry about that… like I was saying you should so do it…

~~~

'...Like I was saying you should do it I would love to hear you sing, and I think it would be fun. And besides Yukari and her band are only her for a short period… go for it…' Yumi thought to her self, hearing Eizo's voice still ringing in her ear as she walked down the hall. She made sure that she didn't look down wards so that she wouldn't bump in to any one (Miyabi). She kept her eyes open just in to make sure.

Just as she was about to walk around the corner she heard Miyabi's and some one else. "So you are saying you have a crush on some cute little Goth chick from one of your concerts… yes Miyabi that narrows it down…"

"This one was different I'm telling you. She had pig tales and looked really shy… I mean she looked really shy. She had a cute little top on as well… hell I don't know who she is… but if I did… I would probably ask her out. Man I even was flirting with the girl up on the stage you know the whole singing the girl right to her and even winking at her…"

'Even winking at her.' Yumi remembers back to the concert when she swore Miyabi winked at her. The two boys walked past Yumi and didn't notice her. 'He didn't know it was me… he thought I was some one else… and he thought I was cute? It couldn't be…' Yumi continued walking in the same direction that she was. She held on to her book real close to her chest.

As she was walking down the hall she say Yukari; she was speaking with some one then waved them off. Yumi ran up to her and said with a smile on her face, "I'll do it 'Kari…!" She said as though she were out of breath.

"You'll do what, Mi?" Yukari said back to her.

"I'll sing for Toxic Lipstick…"

"Really that's great!"

"Only if you make me look really Gothic…!" Yukari's face dropped after Yumi said that to her. Yukari looked at her with a lot of confusion in her eyes.

After Yukari stood there for a moment staring at Yumi she laughed, "Welcome to the dark side Yumi." Yukari reached out and hugged Yumi. "Do you know what song you want to do…?"

"Yeah… but it's none of your songs… Come on we have a lot of practicing to do." Yumi grabbed Yukari by the hand and pulled her as she ran.

~~~

---FRIDAY NIGHT---

Yumi sat on top of the bathroom counter while Yukari got her ready for the concert. Once in a while a different member of the band would come in to the bathroom and check their makeup or brush they're teeth. Finally Yukari got really fed up and looked every one out of the room until she was done.

"I must say, Mi if you weren't like I sister I would so jump you right now." Yukari said to Yumi.

Yukari had already gotten ready before she had started on Yumi. Yukari had a hairpiece in her hair that looked like her own hair just longer different colors. There were three different colors in Yukari's hair, red, blue, and purple, but that also included her natural black hair. She was wearing a red top that showed her midriff and she had a black long sleeve mesh top on top of it. Her pants were just black jeans with rips in them in random places. She looked like a true rocker and Yumi had always loved seeing her dressed like that.

"I'm done Yumi, you want to see."

As Yumi looked in the mirror she hardly recognized her self. Her long black hair was up in pig tales (likes she had asked them to be.), she had black makeup on her face with designs that Yukari drew. The thing that Yumi had liked the most was the clothes that she was wearing. She was wearing a red silk corset and a leather short skirt. Yukari had let Yumi wear her knee high boots. There was some random jewelry on Yumi; there was also one in her eyebrow.

"Wow! This looks really great." Yumi spun around to get a good look at her self. "I like it."

"Come one the guys are probably dying to see you!" Yukari took Yumi by the hand and started to lead her out of the room.

Once out side the room Yumi head, "OH MY GOD!" Each person screamed.

They were all about to run over and glomp her when she put out a hand to stop each of them. "You'll mess up the hair…" Yumi said in a sexier voice. Every one then began to laugh.

~~~

Toshio was standing beside Miyabi waiting for the concert to start. The room was quite full, and Miyabi thought there night now be that much people there. Miyabi looked around and then turned to Toshio. "Why are we here… its probably just going to be pms music…?"

"Tsuyoshi wants us to see these guys… If it's bad we'll leave after one song… alright…" Toshio said back to him.

From behind the certain Yumi looked out to all the people. She then noticed Toshio and Miyabi standing right in front. Her heart had almost stopped. 'What are they doing here…?'

The band was getting ready and they were about to start. "Calm down Yumi, you have done this hundred of times. You'll be ok. We'll have fun I promise." Yukari winked at them. Yumi stood back and took a deep breath. The lights went low and all the people on the other side of the curtain began to cheer.

The curtain opened and there was no music or lights, then suddenly Yumi whispered in to her mic in a very sexy way, "Heartbreaker…" The lights came one and the band began to play. There was no light on Yumi while the music played for a few moments. Every one could see a person dancing in the center of the stage.

The lights came on Yumi and she began to sing. Your love is like a tidal wave,

spinning over my head Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be.

Miyabi's eyes widen, 'It's her! It's the girl from the concert!'

Toshio looked at her with surprise, 'Yumi…?'

You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around - no no no! While she sang she moved around in a very sexy away. She tried to look around the crowd but for some reason her eyes always came back to Toshio and Miyabi, they were just staring at her. Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control You taught me the ways of desire, now it's takin' it's toll You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be.

Eizo ran up to the front near the stage and yelled, "I almost missed Yumi singing…" He didn't notice that he was standing beside Toshio and Miyabi.

'Yumi?' Miyabi thought to him self.

You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around - no no no!

The lights went low and the band played by them self for a moment or two. It was a drum solo, and then Yumi dropped to her knees and was right in front of Toshio and Miyabi. The spot light came on her and she sang slower in a very sexy voice. She made sure she didn't just look at them, You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be.

The music started to get up very slowly and sang very slow, you're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me! The music then began to speed up, and she sung faster. You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me!

You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Heartbreaker. When she was finished singing the guitars and drums started to play. Yumi began to dance with the music as they continued with out her. She then turned her back to all the cheering people and very slowly she began to walk off.

Eizo was totally oblivious to Toshio and Miyabi (for once in his life.) and began to cheer as the music stopped. "YUMI THAT WAS SO COOL!" He yelled out. When the music did stop so did Yumi and she looked over her shoulder and blew a kiss to all the fans and then she left the stage. Once she was off the stage she took a deep breath in and put her hand on her chest. "That was so great! I haven't felt this good in a very long time." Yukari and the others began to play an original song and Yukari was sing now. She sounded much better then Yumi, Yumi thought as she looked from behind the certain.

Yumi had hardly noticed the person who was behind her. "That was really good… I didn't know you could sing Yumi…" The voice scared Yumi and she turned around to see who it was. Miyabi stood only several feet from her.

"…Miyabi…?" Yumi looked very nervous.

Stepping forward Miyabi took Yumi's face in his hand and looked down at her. "I like it when you look like this… you look less…less like…" Miyabi then leaned in to Yumi and kissed her on the lips.

Toshio was going to come back stage and congratulate Yumi for her performance. When he walked back stage all he saw was Miyabi kissing Yumi. Toshio suddenly felt an overwhelming feeling of being alone. He watched them kiss and then he left the room in a huff.

The End
