Dedicated to: This chapter is for the PT fans out there ^_____^ I LOVE PT so I had to put them in here!

Comment: I WANT MORE PT FICS OUT THERE!! @_@! Anyways, I also decided to involve the Johnny’s people because I couldn’t help it! I had to make fun of them somehow (Gomen to the fans). For those people who don’t know the Johnny’s groups, it’s actually better that you don’t know who they are (Gyah! I’m so mean >.<) It’s a bunch of boy bands that can’t really sing ^_^;; (gomen gomen!! This is only my opinion. Don’t listen to me!! ) Examples: SMAP, Kinki Kids, Arashi, V6, etc. But, hey, it’s good foreshadowing chapter. BTW, I’d just like to say: I LOVE Akira ^o^!!

Episode 8: Intro to Alpha Sigma Johnny’s Fraternity

Kyo had his hand on his chin. He was absently looking into space and his eyes were drooping. God, he wanted to go to sleep. Hyde was nodding his head intently, listening to the Plastic Tree guys explain the math material. Hyde listened, but after the explanation was done, he’d forget everything. Levin sat beside him, reading an Archie comic book and laughing to himself. Besides that, the entire library was way too quiet. It made Kyo feel all the more sleepier.

He glanced at the Plastic Tree guys. Even if Kyo listened, he wouldn’t understand anything. They explained in such technical high level terms it caused more confusion that help. No wonder Die refused to go with them to seek Plastic Tree’s help. But Kyo went anyway. He didn’t care about not comprehending the material, he was just there for the answers. {Kyo… ^^ ~Yk2} Kyo could go to Koji, who is good with numbers {Well, duh, he’s in finance. ~Yk2}, but Koji would cleverly snitch his money somehow. Kirito and Aiji are also pretty good in math, but their constant fondling would break up anyone’s concentration. Takeo is an excellent tutor, but he’s also one very busy pre-med student.

Suddenly, Kyo heard Plastic Tree begin to argue over a math problem.

"No. That’s not right!" Akira protested, standing up.

Tadashi frowned. "But the Intermediate----"

"Screw that Theorem!!"

"Without that Theorem, the function cannot exist!" explained Takashi heatedly.

"Yes it can! Look at the graph!"

"The graph doesn’t make sense!"

"What are you talking about??!" Akira grabbed Kyo’s homework packet from Takashi’s hand.

"Guys, I’m confused." Hyde complained.

"Akira, I’ve got a headache." Ryutaro whined, pulling his koi’s sleeve. "I think I’m going to throw up."

"Taro-chan, why don’t you take one of those pills of yours." Akira then turned around and began arguing with the other guys.

"Demo, Akira!"

Akira continued to ignore Ryutaro.

Ryutaro looked like he was going to puke. The boy stood up. "Akira! You have the key to the apaato! I left my pills there! NE! Akira!!"

Akira slammed Kyo’s packet of homework on the table. "WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!?!?!?"

The whole library stopped. Everyone turned to stare at their table. Kyo slumped down on his seat and put his hood up in embarrassment. Hyde, Takashi, and Tadashi just scooted their chairs as far away from the couple as possible. Levin looked around and scratched his head confusedly.

Ryutaro winced as Akira gave him a murderous glare. Then Ryutaro’s pretty lips began to tremble.

"Uh-oh." Tadashi whispered.

"Hiddoi!!" Ryutaro cried and ran away from the table.

"Taro-chan! Matte!" Akira quickly ran after Ryutaro.

Ryutaro ran blindly around the large library building. He does’nt know how, but somehow he ended up huddling in the corner of a restroom. The man hugged his knees to his chest and sobbed quietly, not bothering to wipe his tears away.

That baka!! Baka! Baka! BAKA!

Then he heard the restroom door open.

"Taro-chan!!"

Ryutaro turned his head away and sniffed. "Go away!"

"Look, Taro-chan---"

"Don’t speak! You don’t know what you’re saying!" {Eeks! Sounds like No Doubt!! ~Yk2}

Akira sat down beside his lover and reached to cup Ryutaro’s face. "Gomen, Taro-chan. You know how I get…"

"I know." Ryutaro whispered.

Akira used his thumb to wipe his lover’s tears away. "Taro-chan…I’m very sorry…"

Ryutaro looked at his lover’s eyes. So beautiful. Ryutaro couldn’t help but let a single tear drop.

"Taro-chan…please don’t cry…" He knitted his eyebrows together. It hurt to see his love in pain, but he himself didn’t know how to handle Ryutaro’s tears. His koi looked so hurt…. He wrapped his arms around Ryutaro tightly, then kissed his forehead gently. "Please forgive me…I can be such an idiot."

"I know." Ryutaro said with a tiny smile. He buried his face in Akira’s chest.

The bathroom door suddenly opened and the couple snapped their heads up.

"Well, well. What do we have here?"

A group of young students clad in Abercombie {I had to crack on Abercombie too ^___^ ~Yk2} shirts stood in front of them.

The couple stood up slowly, glancing at the faces of the group. Akira and Ryutaro recognized them as members of the Sigma Alpha Johnny’s, the preppiest and most popular fraternity in the large university.

Akira held Ryutaro’s hand tightly and stepped in front of his love protectively. He put a fake smile on. "We’re just leaving now, right, Taro-chan?"

"H-hai." Ryutaro nodded nervously.

By now, the group has surrounded them.

"Sorry, no can do." Miyake {One of the V6 guys ^^; ~Yk2} replied. "Say, aren’t you one of those engineer nerds?"

"I am an engineer, yes, but I’m not sure about the nerd part." Akira answered hurriedly. "I’d love to chat, but gotta go!"

"Hold it! Hold it!" another guy, whose name is Inohara {OK, so everyone in here right now is in V6. Gyah! I cant believe I know their names >.<!! ~Yk2} said. "That is the dork that broke the damn curve!"

Akira nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Now if you’ll excuse us---"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Morita asked, circling the couple and eyeing them suspiciously. Ryutaro scooted closer to Akira and gazed at the floor. He didn’t like the way the guy was looking at him.

"Look guys, we shouldn’t be doing this." Nagano said. He is part of the fraternity, but he didn’t like causing anybody any harm. "They didn’t do anything wrong---."

"Shut up, Nagano!" Miyake snapped.

"And how’d a nerd like you end up with a hot chick in the men’s room, huh?" Morita barked.

Akira pursed his lips. "Ryutaro’s a guy!"

Okada laughed. "That’s bullshit! You’re just trying to get away with the cutie!"

"Seriously, I AM a GUY!" Ryutaro said.

"Well, babe." Morita coaxed. "There’s only one way to find out…" He licked his lips then winked at Ryutaro.

Akira glared. He knew what they were planning to do to Ryutaro. He had to get him out of the restroom, fast! The group of boys are in a semicircle. The couple had two options of exiting: The window and the door. The window is to their right, but they are on the fourth floor of the building. The door is in the front, but is blocked by the circle.

Akira looked back and forth between the door and window. ~Dammit!~ He thought. ~Only one way to get out of this mess!~

Akira gathered up all his strength, then balled his hand into a fist. To the frat boys’s surprise, the ‘engineer dork’ ran up and struck Morita in the face, sending the boy down on the floor with a bloody nose.

"Taro-chan, RUN!"

"Demo…"

"JUST RUN, DAMMIT!!"

Ryutaro gave a reluctant nod and ran out the door before the group could react.

Akira rubbed his fist. He was sure he broke Morita’s nose. Serves him right. "What are you staring at? Didn’t think an engineer could knock someone out?"

Morita got up, wiping the blood off his swollen nose. The frat boys winced.

Sakamoto stepped forward. "You bastard! No one does that to Sigma Alpha Johnny’s!"

Akira smirked. "Well, I just did!"

Morita scowled. "That’s it, smart ass. You’re gonna get it big time!!!"

*****

Kaoru and Shinya walked across the cement sidewalk, which was carpeted with the red autumn leaves. The breeze was cooler than the past few weeks and the days are finally getting shorter. Winter was coming soon. The purple head glanced at his quiet companion. He really needed to go study, but Shinya had asked him to check his music composition for him. Kaoru couldn’t say no, especially when those innocent green eyes gazed pleadingly at his.

"Ne, Shinya," Kaoru started. "I thought you already turned in your big music composition last week."

"This is just for fun." Shinya quietly replied. "I really love composing. I hope to write music as my career someday."

"Understandable. I occasionally strum meaningless guitar chords just for fun. Since you’re a music major, how do you practice your sheets?"

"Oh, I have a electronic keyboard in the dorm."

"How do you manage to keep that away from Kyo, Hyde, and Levin?"

Shinya giggled. "I put it on top of the cabinet. Anyone their height wouldn’t be able to see it."

Kaoru laughed. "How clever."

Shinya’s laughter died down and he said, "Ne Kaoru."

"Nani?"

Shinya played with his fingers. "Ano…I have a question."

"Ok."

"Well," he began. "Let’s say you have someone you really really look up to….and you really really admire….and you really really want to be like him…."

"Uh-huh…"

"But you don’t know how to get his attention…"

"Then talk to him."

"No. no. It’s not that simple… you see, I’m really timid, but deep down in my heart, I really want him to know how much I ….. appreciate ….. him." Shinya blushed after he said those words. He didn’t know how to word his thoughts without Kaoru being suspicious of his crush on Yoshiki.

Shinya was surprised to see Kaoru give him a sad smile. "Shinya, if there’s someone you admire, and someone you really appreciate being with, you ought to convey your thoughts into your actions." Kaoru looked up at the grey sky. He had a faraway look on his face, as if he was thinking of something distant. "But not only your actions, Shinya, but also in your words. Tell him how you feel."

"But, I get so nervous…"

"I understand how you feel. When I said to tell him, it doesn’t mean to physically open you mouth and say it. You are the type of person that expresses your thought into music, then express how you feel about him through that outlet."

Shinya pouted. "I’m not sure if he’d notice…"

"Well, Shinya. It doesn’t matter what method you use to convey your feelings, but whatever you do, never keep this inside yourself. No matter what, inform the person. Because you never know when the next time—or if there ever is another next time---you will see your idol again….ne?"

Shinya stared at Kaoru, but didn’t say anything. He merely smiled and nodded his head.

They walked a few more minutes in silence. Soon they passed the University Library, but was interrupted by Kyo running up to them.

"KAORU!!" Kyo yelled on top of his lungs.

Kyo looked like he was in panick.

"Kyo! What’s wrong? Did something happen??"

Kaoru waited until the shorter man could catch his breath. "Akira….(huff, huff) …Akira…"

"What about Akira? Kyo, answer me!"

Kyo shook his head violently.

Shinya was confused.

"KYO!!!" Kaoru screamed. He was getting really really worried.

Without another word, Kyo grabbed Kaoru’s hand and dragged him up to the library’s fourth floor restroom. Shinya followed them. Kaoru saw Tadashi, Takashi, Levin, and Hyde in there, all four were panicking and not knowing what to do. Ryutaro was in the center of the bathroom floor, holding a beat up Akira.

"Akira-kun! Wake up! Please!" Ryutaro sobbed.

Kaoru turned to Kyo. "Quick! Call an ambulance!"

Kyo shook his head. "We can’t! The Sigma Alpha Johnny’s did this! We can’t!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN’T??!"

"Kaoru, I can’t explain right now! I dragged you here because you’re a pre-med student! PLEASE do something!"

Kaoru shoved people out of the way and inspected Akria’s body. Then he sighed in relief. "He’s alright. He just fainted."

Ryutaro sobbed. "It’s all my fault."

Kaoru shook his head. "It’s nothing serious. He has a few bruises and cuts. Probably a big bump on the head. I think his leg’s broken too. "

Takashi growled. "It’s all those Johnny’s preps fault!"

"Look, people! Stop thinking of whose to blame!! Right now, it’s important that we get Akira out of here!" Kaoru yelled.

Tadashi spoke up. "That’s right." He tossed Takashi his keys. "Takashi, go get the car. We’re going to my place. It’s closest to here." He turned to the others." Kyo, Ryutaro, and Kaoru, we’re gonna carry Akira to the car and make sure no one gets suspicious." He turned to Shinya. "And, um,…ano….."

"Shinya desu."

"Ah, yah. Shinya. I don’t have ice packs at home. Could you grab some ice from the convenient store. I live in the apartment across from it."

"Hai."

Levin raised his hand. "What about me?"

Tadashi looked at Levin. "Pray."

"I don’t understand why we have to keep this to ourselves!" Kaoru protested while helping lift Akira. "Why can’t we call the authorities?"

Tadashi glared heatedly at Kaoru. The purple head thought his eyes were burning holes on his. "You’d better not tell the authorities about this." Tadashi hissed. " Akira’s our friend and we don’t want him hurt any more than this, you got that?"

Kaoru gulped. "Hai…." Though he still doesn’t understand.

What is so intimidating about the Sigma Alpha Johnny’s Fraterinty?
