Chapter one: The Wind's Song

Yuki Eiri was walking through the park. It was midnight and he was walking to clear the writer's bock in his head. That and go through possible solutions for certain problems. He sighed as he continued to walk. Tonight as all nights have been recently, is boring and quiet, which after all he has gone through he should be grateful for. Something about these quiet nights though is making him feel a little uneasy. He notices a bench and sat down to take a little break. He looked down at the city not even a little surprised that it was busy this late at night. He closed his eyes and relaxed a little. He was enjoying a nice night breeze when he heard a voice that the wind carried.

The whisper that dissolves into the bustling crowd
makes the memories scattered underfoot blur together.

The blazing of the street where I walk about lost. (glaring one way)
illuminates me as coldly as though it freezes.

The cold times make dreams fall like rain and slip through my hands.
When I woke up from the countless wish, you are reflected in a shimmering illusion
the silhouette whose faint smile leads me along.

Yuki stood up and followed the voice to its owner.

The words that I have to give you are (it's talk to myself)
falling into an everyday routine, even without shadows.

Yuki pushed through tree branches andstepped through bushes. He didn't know why this voice was luring him in like this. He finally got through the mini forest and saw the owner of the voice. It was a boy with strawberry hair and was oblivious of Yuki's presence.

With a trembling finger, I gather up the dreams; without even breathing
on them, they're crumbling.
Even the certain things are too unreliable; if I believe in something, can
I be with you again?
It's whitely vanishing, the silhouette of that day.

Yuki stepped closer and accidently stepped on a twig making a loud CRACK noise. The boy automatically stopped and quickly turned around to face him. Yuki saw surprise in his, what looked like purple eyes. Yuki took one step forward and the boy ran off, very fast might I add. "W-Wait." But he was gone out of sight right after he said it. He decided not to go after him thinking that it will make the situation even worse. He sighed and left the park heading back to his apartment to get some sleep.

It wasn't until dusk that he woke up the next day. He decided to take a stroll through the city and was greeted by his brother-in-law Tohma Seguchi. Tohma was the head of N-G recording and was a Keyboard player of the famous band called Nittle Grasper, who have long since disbanded. "Oh this is rare, seeing you in the city on this type of night." Tohma said grinning. Yuki shrugged.

"Guess I wanted a change of pace, anyways…" Yuki looked behind Tohma and saw a club. "What are you doing here of all places." He noticed where Yuki was looking at.

"This place is showing a very popular band today and I was about to check it out, would you like to come with me." Yuki shrugged. He had nothing else to do. Yuki followed his brother into the club. Music was blaring as they walked in and the club was packed. They were lucky enough to get a seat near the stage. Yuki ordered a beer while Tohma got water.

"So what about this band that makes it so poplar?" Yuki asked taking a sip from the glass. Tohma looked thoughtful.

"Well from what I hear the vocalist is a great singer and the music is very well done. The added bonus is the good looks that they apparently have."

"I see." The crowd clapped as the band walked off the stage. A second later a man walked on and Yuki decided that it was the announcer.

"Now for the band you were all waiting for… BAD LUCK!" the crowd went wild as the band walked on stage.

"Ah here they are." Tohma told him. Yuki looked up at the stage and his eyes widen in surprise. On the stage was the boy he encountered in the park the night before. The boy grabbed the mike and grinned.

"Good evening how are you all doing?" he greeted. The crowd cheered. "Alright then it's time for Spicy Marmalade!" the crowd went wild again as the music begun.

Spicy Marmalade These days, people really seem
to be lead astray, with faces hidden by sadness.

What's making you tremble? Hedonists are the ones who smile.
Lying along these frozen rails is a future that's been planned without telling us.

Eccentricity is an obstacle; passion is absorbing.
Quite a nightmare, isn't it? Boredom's fighting back.

Noticing Yuki's reaction when the vocalist entered the stage Tohma looked a little worried. "What is it Eiri?" snapping out of it he looked at him.

"Nothing…" he replied.

"If you say so." Tohma looked back not really believing him. Yuki looked back at the stage as well, but his concentration was on the singer.

'Who are you?' he wondered.

Spicy Marmalade In your own way,
throw off the chains if they're rusted.
Vanish into the night Even tonight, so intently gazed upon,
becomes a phantom with the touch of a fingertip.

Spicy Marmalade Now that it's exploded into being,
seize hold of this evening's chance.
Vanish into the night Conspicuous marmalade
If you've decided you're ready, well, then…

Spicy Marmalade In your own way,
throw off the chains if they've rusted.
Vanish into the night These days, people really seem
to be lead astray, with faces hidden by sadness.

The song added and the cheers of the crowd was deafening. Yuki winced. The boy smiled and looked around the crowd. He stopped when he noticed Yuki, a look of surprise appeared on his face for a split second, but changed so the crowd doesn't notice. Noticing this as well Tohma knew something happened between the Vocalist and his brother. Yuki stood up and practically fought his way out of the club. "Yuki wait!" Tohma called, but Yuki couldn't hear him and kept on going. Yuki reached the outside and sighed. He decided to go home and worked on a novel he has been working on for the past few days.
