Five Piece Limelight

Roxas would have to wait to tell Axel about his amazing experience, because he couldn't find him.

He was probably with Larxene.

Riku was still talking to the sound guys, Cloud was still doing whatever the hell Cloud did before a show, and Roxas found Demyx talking to... a girl.

Roxas wouldn't have thought it funny if Demyx was just talking to a fan girl before the show, but now Demyx was sitting with this girl in their tour bus, sharing a drink with her...

"Uh... hi" Roxas waved and backed down the stairs of the bus.

"No wait!" Demyx said standing up, "This is Roxas the drummer" he said happily to the girl.

The girl had long black hair and bright green eyes. She wore a jean skirt with black leggings and a tight white band tee that said 'Ars Arcanum' in black letters that looked splattered in paint.

Roxas had never seen this tee shirt and he was in the band...

"Roxas this is Naomi" Demyx introduced her. The girl gave a shy and quiet , "hello".

Roxas smiled and shook her hand.

"You'll never guess who she is!" Demyx said with his hands on his hips like he held the worlds biggest secret.

"Uh, Naomi?" Roxas replied. Naomi laughed a small giggle, "No!" Demyx told him, "She's Tifa's niece!".

The girl blushed and took a sip of her drink.

Tifa helped with all the band's clothing designs (most likely where Naomi had gotten her shirt), and was rumored to have had a thing going with Cloud a while back...

"Tifa asked me to introduce her to the band" Demyx said proudly.

He handed her a special back stage pass and told her where to go to get to the front row of the show and where to go after it.

Naomi said bye and thanked them, then got their autographs on her shirt. Roxas signed the stomach area while Demyx signed... right on the chest.

"That tickles" she giggled as he wrote.

She thanked them again and left blushing.

"What the hell man?!" Roxas asked with a big grin and an elbow nudge in Demyx' side.

He grinned and sat down, "she's beautiful" he said.

"But... she's a girl" Roxas reminded him. Demyx looked at the roof, "yeah, but I think I just fell in love with a girl..."

Roxas fixed himself a drink (personal milkshake maker) and sat next to Demyx.

"How old is she?"

"Only two years younger than me!" Demyx said. "She's really pretty" Roxas told him. "Uh, how about amazing?" Demyx said, "the body of a goddess too..."

Roxas laughed. "Well shouldn't you be getting your costume and makeup ready?" he asked the guitarist.

Demyx shook his head, "naw, I'm going out just like this."

Roxas was surprised. Demyx looked... normal. he was dressed in a shirt and jeans and wasn't wearing his makeup or hairspray.

Naomi had turned him straight...

Roxas and Demyx went to the dressing room at six as planned. The rest of the band was already there.

"What's up" Axel greeted them and put out his cigarette.

Everyone in the band smoked except Roxas and Riku (Demyx only when he drank).

"I have an announcement everyone" Demyx said and held up his hands. Axel looked up from his texting, Riku from his book and Cloud paused his music.

"I'm in love" Demyx said, Axel laughed and looked back at his phone while Riku got up to go to the bathroom.

"With a girl."

Everyone stopped and looked up at Demyx.

"You mean you're not... gay anymore?" Axel asked with wide eyes.

Demyx nodded and smiled.

Axel put away his phone and stood up, "damn that must be one hot girl..."

"She's Tifa's niece" Demyx told them. Cloud visibly stiffened and opened his mouth to talk.

Before the conversation could go on, Mickey walked into the room, "it's time guys".

Going on stage was so brutal for Roxas. Just walking onto the huge stage, hearing the noise of the crowd and seeing the blinding stage lights made him shake every time he went on.

But he always got back to normal when the first song started.

He took his seat behind the set and picked up a pair of sticks.

Cloud, Axel and Demyx all picked up their guitars from stands and Riku walked onto the stage waving like a cool champ. The crowd was going nuts.

The first song, 'Oblivion', was a numbingly fast song and was full of intricate drum fills.

Cloud played the starting riff of the song and the crowd screamed. The rest of the band joined in and the crowd started jumping.

Riku joined in with his lyrics:

"Now I'm ending it all, The dusk begins to fall,

Now I'm right here always... Now I'm right here always...

And I'm never coming down! But you're the one in between.

Crashing down into myself! I get up off the ground

Crashing down into ourselves!

All i need is my oblivion!

All you need is your oblivion!

Changing everyday so i can come around! All the people were right about me.

I want to see my end like i want to see you down! People can't tell that I'm not me.

I cant, seem to change in the way you want!

I can, let you know that I'm comfortably fading!

I won't, ever let you figure me out!

I want, to feel the graceful platonic insides!

Crashing down into myself! I get up off the ground

Crashing down into ourselves!

All i need is my oblivion!

All you need is your oblivion!

Live through me! spread your wings! Live through me! Spread your wings!

Fly away! I want to see my end like i want to see you down!

Changing everyday so i can come around! I don't have to be like you!

Oblivion!

Oblivion!

GO!GO!GO!GO!

GO!GO!GO!GO!

Oblivion..."

The song ended and the crowd screamed and cheered. The whole band was pumped now and ready for the next song.

Roxas looked but couldn't find Namine or Kairi anywhere.

Demyx saw Naomi in the front row and was putting on a show for her.

Riku yelled to the crowd and the next song started up, a jumpy, bass-y song called 'H.E.A.R.T.L.E.S.S.', Roxas had written the lyrics for it.

The song was longer and had a guitar solo by Demyx.

When the song ended Riku drank from a water bottle, spit it into the crowd, then threw the bottle into the mosh pit area.

The crowd loved it.

Song three and four passed by fast for Roxas, they were very heavy songs. 'Malificent' (which required him to use his double bass pedal) and 'One Sky, One Destiny' (which had a large drum solo and was an epic guitar riffy song).

By now Roxas was sweating and took off his shirt. The crowd cheered and he threw the balled up shirt into it.

The next song was a slower song where Demyx played acoustic guitar and Cloud used an effect on his guitar that was very clean and echoic.

It was called 'The Song That Never Was' and was written by Riku and Roxas together.

After the song, Axel pulled a huge squirt gun from the side of the stage and started to soak the mosh pit, Axel was laughing and the crowd was jumping around in the water. The band played the next four songs which included their own heavier versions of 'This is Halloween' and 'Passion'.

When the guitar riff to the next song started the crowd started jumping to the rhythm.

The song, 'Air Raid' was their second single and was also written by Roxas.

The noise was deafening as the song ended, but the mosh pit kept going so Roxas started counting off the next song to keep them jumping.

'Omnislash' was a song with no words and a blazing guitar solo by Cloud.

The mosh pit loved it and Cloud took center stage.

The next song was a more experimental song with lots of changing guitar effects and simple drumming. It was called 'Twilight Town' and featured a bass solo by Axel.

Their last song was easily the most epic and it was how they always ended their concerts. "13! 13! 13!" Riku yelled to the crowd. That was the name of the song.

It was more than eight minutes long and had a lot of instrumentals.

When they finished, Roxas threw all his pairs of sticks into the crowd.

Demyx ran back and forth on the stage giving the crowd high fives. Axel started squirting people again and Riku jumped into the crowd to crowd surf.

Cloud actually gave his guitar to a kid in the front row who looked like he was going to pass out.

they all left the stage with smiles.

--

"Cid! toss me a beer!" Axel shouted when they all walked back into the dressing room where Cid was already drinking. Cloud instantly put on his headphones and sat drinking one of his energy drinks.

He may have been frowning (as usual) but Roxas could tell he was happy with the performance.

Riku flopped down on the couch next to Cloud and Axel, tired from singing his heart out on stage.

Demyx meanwhile was running around excited (as usual for him after a show) talking about what happened on stage.

"Naomi was watching, and I thing some guy got punched in the mosh pit, and Roxas did this awesome fill when I did a solo, and Naomi was so hot!"

Roxas smiled at the older mans excitement and sat in a bean bag.

"You did good tonight Roxas" Riku complimented with his eyes closed and head back. Axel nodded in agreement and made a toast (which only he and Cid shared). "Thanks guys, I think the practice helped."

There was a knock on the door and it opened. Everyone brought their attention to the people filing through the door. First was Naomi, who was instantly grabbed and pulled to a seat by Demyx.

Tifa walked in behind her and looked at us, her vision stopped on Cloud with a smile as he took off his headphones with a serious look.

Larxene came in with a bored look on her face and walked to Axel, who offered her a drink.

Then Kairi walked in and instantly pulled out a small notebook and pen as her eyes grew big in excitement.

Namine shyly entered with the door closing behind her and my heart skipped.

"Jesus, damn Roxas she's cute!" Axel whispered so that only Roxas would hear. He blushed and waved at her.

Tifa asked Cloud to go on a walk and the two immediately left. Kairi cornered a shocked Riku for his autograph and Namine made her way over to Roxas. "Hullo..." she muttered and held her hands behind her back. Roxas thought everything she did was cute, down to the solid white mini-dress she wore.

He smiled and motioned to an empty couch that they could sit on near the fridge.

Demyx was talking animatedly to Naomi across the room and she was laughing. Riku looked scared as Kairi rambled on about... something.

Axel and Larxene were simply playing cards and drinking. 'exciting' Roxas thought sarcastically.

He looked back at the girl sitting next to him and grinned. She giggled, "your grin reminds me of Kairi's boyfriend."

Roxas thought that even her giggle was cute. It seemed like something that rarely happened so you cherished it. Or something like that. "Were you fine in the front row?" he asked after catching his breath.

She nodded slowly," you were great. You all were, but especially you." she blushed as if she couldn't believe what she had just said. "Hey you two lovebirds!" Axel shouted into Roxas' ear and put his arms around the two, "Larxene and I are going to dinner, Riku and your sister are coming too, you two frisky dogs wanna come?"

Namine looked down and flushed with intense embarrassment and Roxas sighed, "Uh, you wanna go Namine?"

She continued to look at her hands and mumbled an answer that Axel and Roxas couldn't understand.

"Do you- wanna go on a walk?" Roxas asked after a pause.

Namine looked up in shock," sure..."

Axel smirked, "okay, well we're leaving. You two have fun!" he left laughing like an idiot with Larxene rolling her eyes. Riku gave a nod and Kairi waved and gave her sister a thumbs up.

"Well," Roxas rubbed his head and stood up, "shall we?"
