DISCLAIMER: I am not Inoue Takehiko-sama. Therefore I am not the owner of the SD charas. But being a fanfic writer, the storyline is mine.
Author's Notes: I know I've been guilty for not updating this fic for a long time. Gomen, but I shall try my best NOT to juggle a few fics at once, for my own sake—mou, if only it's as easy at it seems…And before I continue, I would like to apologize if the fic is not—well, funny. I'll stop talking now so that we can get back to the fic.

            Sakuragi stopped in front of the gate. He glanced at the note in his hand, confirming the address.
            "Sakuragi?" a voice from behind said, somewhat surprised.
            Sakuragi was equally astounded. "Koshino?"
            The shorter boy eyed a deadly glare at him. "What are you doing at Sendoh's place?"
            "Sendoh? You mean, this is Sendoh's house?" he asked blankly.
            A snort. "I knew it. You're not loyal to Rukawa."
            Sakuragi flared up. "What the hell are you saying?" demanded he. "Rukawa has nothing to do with this!"
            "Actually, he has…" murmured a third voice; Kogure's. "I wonder what's up…"
            "Megane-kun? You're here too?"
            "You sure this is the place?" asked another voice.
            "Yeah, definitely…" was his reply.
            Koshino, Kogure and Sakuragi exclaimed in unison, "Jin? Fujima?"
            "Ah? You guys are here too?" asked Fujima.
            "I finally see…" mumbled Koshino. "He's inviting us over to his place to play strip poker again."
            "WHAT?" ejaculated the other four.
            Koshino shrugged. "Why else would he invite all of us at once? Something's fishy here."
            "If that crazy hentai wants to play that, that—game, he will have to count me out!" cried Sakuragi. "Rukawa'll kill him if he tries anything on me!"
            Koshino rolled his eyes. "Oh, please! You'll be too engrossed in the game you'll forget about your boyfriend."
            "Why, you—"
            Kogure had gone pale. "I—I think I'll leave now…"
            At that moment the door opened. Hikoichi stepped out. "Come in, everyone. Sendoh-san's waiting for you."
            "Oh, I'm waiting for him as well…" said Koshino. There was murder in his voice.
            "See you later, guys!' Jin made an attempt to leave.
            "I'm not staying to play with that hentai!" added Fujima.
            "Play?" asked Hikoichi. "Play what? He just wanted to talk with you—all of you."
            "Right…" Sakuragi's sarcasm was noticeable.
            "Seriously, Sakuragi-san. Nothing hentai-ish at work here, I assure you."
            The five were still doubtful, but they entered Sendoh's compound all the same, and into his house.

            "You sure this is a good idea?" asked Kiyota. He was nervous.
            "Of course this is!" convinced Sendoh. "We'll be out of this problem in no time!"
            "Besides, you said you're better in these things compared to us," chipped in Mitsui. "Why? Are you backing out now? Are you chicken?"
            "I'm NOT! But what I don't understand is why he is in this with us!" Kiyota pointed an accusing finger at Rukawa. "He'll ruin the whole thing!"
            Rukawa glared at him coldly.
            "People, people, calm down," begged Hanagata. "Let's just do this once and for all. After that you can kill Kiyota as you like, Rukawa."
            "You are most generous." Rukawa looked away.

            "Tell me again why we're waiting in the basement?" asked Jin.
            "In the dark?" finished Fujima.
            "Because Sendoh wants to do something bad without us noticing him," mumbled Koshino.
            "Maa, maa, Koshino…" Kogure sweat dropped. "Why don't you put your pocket-knife away? It's poking me…"
            "No."
            "Oi, Sendoh! Come out now before I wreck this whole place down!" threatened Sakuragi.
            "Sendoh! Show yourself!" Koshino joined in, "before I make your death more painful than I had intended to!"

            "Hiro-kun's really mad at me…" mumbled Sendoh.
            "Shut up Sendoh and just go!" Mitsui pushed him.

            All of the sudden the lights were on.
            "Finally!" exclaimed Jin. He turned to see Fujima, Kogure and Sakuragi were gawking in front of them, jaws hanging open. Koshino frowned even deeper. Jin looked to see for himself, and gave a silent shriek.
            Sendoh, Kiyota, Hanagata, Rukawa and Mitsui, clad in smart tuxedos with ties were posing in front of them. They even had their top hats on, covering their eyes and forehead. Sendoh's shirt was unbuttoned down to his chest, whilst Kiyota's hair actually was tidier than Jin could ever imagined. Hanagata's glasses were no longer on the bridge of his nose, and his green tie was more than elegant. Rukawa and Mitsui, however, were still the same—since they looked better all the time.
            "Kaede!"
            "Hi…Hisashi?"
            "Toru? What happened to your glasses?"
            "Nobu-kun? Is that really you?"
            "I'll kill you…"
            The semes snapped their fingers, and a music was played, as if on cue.

Mitsui:
I'm sorry I didn't mean to call you
but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak and couldn't even hide it
and so I surrender just to hear your voice

~

            Kogure felt his face turning hot, blushing immeasurably. He almost passed out, but his desire to see his lover sing kept him conscious. Mitsui, along with the other singers, danced slowly to the beat.

~

Hanagata:
I know so many times I said I'm gonna to live with out you
and maybe someone else is standing there behind you
but there's something baby that you need to know
that deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.

~

            "To—Toru…" stammered Fujima. "Are you suffering from a disease or something?"
            "I think he's trying to express his love for you, Fujima-san," explained Jin.
            "I know that! But he'd never done anything as sweet as this to me before!"

~

Mitsui, Hanagata, Sendoh, Rukawa, Kiyota:
Baby, give me back my fantasies
the courage that I need to live
the air that I breathe

Living without you, my world has become so empty
my days are so cold and lonely
and each night I taste the purest of pain.

~

            "He's exaggerating," mumbled Koshino.
            "Can't you please try to be more positive about this?" asked Sakuragi, somewhat annoyed.
            "NO!"
            "At least try not to give critics—"
            "NO! NO! NO!"
            Sendoh pouted comically, but Koshino refused to look at him. Sendoh still kept his cool, even under that hot and stuffy black tuxedo.

~

Sendoh:
I wish I could tell you I'm feeling better every day
that it didn't hurt when you walked away
but to tell you the truth I can't find my way
and deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.

~

            "I'm happy to know that," retorted Koshino. "And, no, I don't want to see you, Sendoh."
            Sakuragi clasped his hand over Koshino's mouth, but Koshino bit his hand. The two got involved in a small fight. However, once Sakuragi heard the next verse, he pushed the shorter boy aside harshly.

~

Rukawa:
Baby, give me back my fantasy
the courage that I need to live,
the air that I breathe.
Living without you, my world's become so empty.
The days are so cold and lonely
and each night I taste the purest of pain.

~

            "Surprisingly he has a good voice…" remarked Jin, "for a guy who doesn't talk much."
            "Was that an insult?" demanded Sakuragi.
            Jin held up his hands, shaking his head in denial. "No, no! That was a compliment!"

~

Rukawa, Sendoh, Mitsui, Hanagata, Kiyota:
Baby, give me back my fantasy
The courage that I need to live,
the air that I breathe.
Living without you, my world's become so empty
The days are so cold and lonely
and each night I taste the purest of pain.

Kiyota:
I'm sorry I didn't mean to call you but I couldn't fight it.
I guess I was weak, couldn't even hide it
and so I surrendered just to hear your voice.

~

            "Remember what I said about Rukawa has a good voice?" murmured Jin.
            "Yeah?" asked Fujima and Sakuragi.
            "I take it back. Nobu-kun's way better."
            "HEY!" cried Sakuragi.
            "Maa maa, Sakuragi…he's biased, you can't blame him…" voiced out Kogure, noticing the dangerous gleam in Sakuragi's eyes.
            Before Sakuragi could give Jin a piece of his mind, the lights were off again.
            "Erm, blackout?" asked Fujima.
            "ACK!" Kogure ejaculated.
            "Megane-kun?" asked Sakuragi.
            The lights were on again. Kogure was blushing even redder than before, his hands covering his mouth. He refused to look at anyone—except of course Mitsui.
            Sendoh, Rukawa, Mitsui, Hanagata and Kiyota were no longer in their tuxedos. In the dark, they had taken their tuxedos off, revealing the leather outfit within. The sight was sufficient to send Sakuragi, Kogure, Fujima and Jin to the hospital due to excessive nose bleeding. Koshino? He was still mad—or at least, he pretended to be.

Sendoh:
You make me feel funny
When you come around
Yeah that's what I found out honey
What am I doing without you

~

            Still dancing, he tried to touch Koshino's chin. Koshino did not move, but merely gave him a blank stare. Sendoh grinned, and brushed his fingers against Koshino's cheek.

~

Hanagata:
You make me feel happy
When I leave you behind
It plays on my now honey
What am I doing without you

~

            "Toru can dance pretty well…" Fujima mused. "He never told me he could dance before."
            "I believe he just found out himself?" supplied Jin.

~

Kiyota:
Took for granted everything we had
As if I'd find someone
Who's just like you

~

            Kiyota eyed Jin the whole time. Jin shyly watched his lover perform.

~

Sendoh, Hanagata, Kiyota, Mitsui, Rukawa:
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I without you

And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you

~

            "Looking for something new?" echoed Koshino. "Are you telling me you're not loyal to me, Akira?"
            "Maa maa, Koshino…" begged Fujima. "At least please wait until this is over. I want to listen to Toru…"
            "And I to Hisashi…" joined in Kogure.

~

Mitsui:
Well I'm guess I'm ready
For settling down
And fooling around is over
And I swear that it's true

~

            Mitsui's finger traced Kogure's jaws. With a wink, he resumed his dance.

~

Rukawa:
No but's or maybe's
When I'm falling down
There's always someone who saves me
And boy it's you

~

            Sakuragi laughed. "Nyahahaha! The tensai will save everyone in need!"
            "Oh, shut up!" said Fujima, Jin and Koshino.

~

Kiyota:
Funny how life can be so surprising
I'm just realising what you do

~

            "Do? Do what?" asked Kogure.
            "I…" Jin blushed. "It's a secret."
            "I think he himself has no clue what the monkey was singing about…" murmured Sakuragi.

~

Rukawa, Sendoh, Hanagata, Mitsui, Kiyota:
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I without you

And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you

~

Sendoh:
Well it's feeling right now
So let's do it right now

~

            "I knew there's something hentai-ish behind all this," accused Koshino.
            "Koshino, 'it' does not necessarily mean any hentai-ish things, you know…" said Fujima softly, careful as not to enrage Koshino even more. "For all you know Sendoh might be talking about reconciling with you."
            "So who's the hentai here?" interrupted Sakuragi. "Obviously it's you."
            "SAKURAGI HANAMICHI!!!!" yelled Koshino.
            "Quiet, you two! I can't hear Hisashi!" said Kogure.
            Jin merely shrugged.

~
Rukawa and Mitsui:
Praying that some how
You will understand the way

Hanagata and Kiyota:
It's feeling right now baby somehow
I won't let this slip away

Sendoh, Rukawa, Mitsui, Hanagata and Kiyota:
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I without you

And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you

~

            The performance ended with a bow from all five singers.
            "Let me remind you Kaede already belongs to me!" announced Sakuragi.
            "You can keep your Kaede, Sakuragi!" said Kogure. "I have someone else in mind."
            Mitsui approached Kogure. He nuzzled his nose on Kogure's neck. "I'm really sorry for the unkind remark I gave you, Min-kun…will you forgive me?"
            "Oh, Hisashi…" Kogure's face softened.
            "How did I do?" asked Hanagata.
            Fujima, having conveniently forgotten Hanagata's compliment-gone-wrong smiled. "You were awesome, Toru. I never knew you're such a sweet person…"
            "I didn't know too. Sorry, Kenji-kun…I won't say ANYTHING that's related to females and girls to you."
            Fujima chuckled. "That'll be hard, you know…"
            "I'll do anything for you, my love…" Hanagata opened his arms to embrace Fujima, but the open arms were in the wrong direction.
            "Toru? How on earth did you manage to dance without glasses?"
            Kiyota, his head bowing, neared Jin.
            "So who did you sing for just now, Nobu-kun?" asked Jin, rather dryly. "Your mother in law?"
            "Hell, no!" Kiyota's face was full of horror. "Not that I'm married at the moment…but…"
            "But what?"
            "From now on I'll only sing for you, Soi-kun…"
            "Aw, Nobu-kun…"
            Rukawa shrugged casually as Sakuragi came up to him.
            "I didn't expect this," said Sakuragi. "I thought you'll be singing solo to me?"
            "Hn, change of plans."
            "And why were you singing a song of apology at first? You didn't do anything wrong to me."
            "I had to go along with them."
            "I'm sure the song wouldn't be half as good if you weren't singing along with them, na, Kaede?" Sakuragi wrapped his arms around Kaede.
            "Evidently. Hana?"
            "Yeah?"
            "You still want me to sing to you? Alone, this time?"
            "Will you?"
            Rukawa's whispered in Sakuragi's ear. "But first let's get out of here…to somewhere private…"
            Sendoh tried to look straight into Koshino's eyes, but the latter kept on turning him down.
            "Hiro-kun—I said I'm sorry…please forgive me, Hiro-kun…"
            "No."
            "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, Hiro-kun, but I truly, madly, deeply love you with all my heart and soul…"
            "Whatever you say."
            "I'll do anything as long as you forgive me!"
            Koshino stared at him for a moment. Finally he pulled Sendoh's collar. Koshino dragged him out of the basement. A few minutes later, screams were heard—sounding suspiciously like Sendoh's.
            What was Koshino doing to poor Sendoh, you ask? I leave it to you to decide!

            Rukawa and Sakuragi were about to step out of the front door when they heard numerous screams. And not just any scream, but fan girls' scream.
            "Oh! Sendoh! You're so hot!"
            "RUKAWA! L-O-V-E RUKAWA!!"
            "Fujima! FUJIMA! Marry me marry me!!"
            "Mitsui! Kiss me and I'll be your slave forever!"
            "KIYOTA! I never knew you've such tempting a sex appeal!"
            Sakuragi straight away pulled Rukawa, who was already out of the door, back into the house.
            "How'd they know about this whole thing?" asked Sakuragi, astonished. "Were they watching the entire concert without us knowing?"
            "Must've been Hikoichi…" informed Rukawa. "His big mouth can never keep any secret…"
            For five days and four nights they were trapped in Sendoh's house with the mob of fan girls outside and around Sendoh's compound. But at any rate, they have reconciled with their lovers, so they didn't really mind. That did not stop them from going after Hikoichi, though.

More Author's Notes: My, isn't this chapter draggy. Really, really sorry if it's not funny, minna-san! I tried my best, I really did!
            The first song is sung by Son By Four, entitled The Purest of Pain (A Puro Dolor). Originally it's a Spanish song, a soundtrack from a telenovela called My Three Sisters (Mis Tres Hermanas) from…Venezuela, if I'm not mistaken. And the second song – World of Our Own. I just felt like using that song, I don't know why *whacks herself*.
            So, erm, would you like me to continue with this fic? If you want me to, I will *grins*. Suddenly I'm feeling extra-generous that I might pair Youhei up with Haruko…oh, well, depends on what you want. Do leave me a review before leaving, na?
            Thank you for reading! Ja ne!
