Part 1

Ryuichi Sakuma was sitting on a chair at his kitchen table and plopped his head down on the brown wood. He was totally exhausted but his eyes were glittering and a tiny smile crossed his lips. It was past midnight now but he had written four new songs for Nittle Graspers 'come back' album. It had been three years since they had broken up and went their own way to get happy and successful. Now they were reunioned and started a new try to become popular one more time.

The time in America had been wonderful for Ryuichi, he had seen many other people and their cultures and he could do what he had wanted to do. But he had still missed Japan and his friends, especially Seguchi. Yes, he had been lonely sometimes although he had his Kumagorou with him but this had not been the same.

But that was all over now and he had to look into the future. Now everything was like he had wished it to be... everything? He leaned back in his chair and looked down on the white papers on which the songs were written down. The first song was a special song for him. He wrote it on the second Christmas Day he had spend in America. It was a love song... and he knew for which person he had written it...

After reading it again he yawned and stood up. He stretched his tired body, grabbed his little stuff animal and slowly went into his bedroom. He opened the balcon door and looked up at the full moon. The town underneath him was a beautiful sight and he was really happy to be back in Tokio again. When he had arrived at the Tokio airport two days ago the first person he had met was his friend Seguchi and they went to his favourite restaurant in town to eat dinner. Noriko had been busy on that evening and so they were alone. But he had to admit that this had been much better in that way...

He shook his head and remembered that he had to get some rest. He turned around and went to his large bed with white satin sheets and big white pillows. He crawled under the blankets but bevor he closed his eyes he took one last glance at the photo which was standing on his bedside table. It showed Noriko, Seguchi and himself when they were celebrating Seguchi's 29. birthday. Noriko hold a champagner glas in her one hand and the other was placed on her right hip. Seguchi was holding Kumagorou in his hands and around his shoulders Ryuichi had laid his right arm. His left hand showed the peace sign. They were all smiling and Ryuichi hoped that it would be like that again. He pressed Kumagorou nearer to his body and placed a tenderly kiss on the stuff animal's forehead. Then he turned on his other sideand after some more minutes he finally drifted into sleep.

The next morning he woke up by the sound of his alarm clock. He slowly sat up and he realised that his body felt numb. He stood up carefully and walked into his bathroom. When he looked into the mirror he thought he had seen a corpse. His face was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes. He sighed and decided to take a cold shower. When he turned on the water and it ran down on his tired body he felt much better. After getting dressed he hurried into the kitchen and made himself breakfast. He sat down and began to eat slowly while hearing some music by listening to the radio. Then he looked surprised at his watch and his face became a bit pale again. It was almost seven o'clock and that meant that he had to hurry up. He quickly ate his food and rushed back into his bedroom. In twenty minutes he should be in Seguchi's office to give him his songs. He took Kumagorou and his songs and ran out of his apartment down the steps.

Twenty minutes later he ran up the last stairs which lead to the last floor. He stopped in front of the office of his teammate and tried to catch his breath. Before he knocked on the door Seguchi gave him the permission to come in. When Ryuichi came into the room he saw his friend sitting in his seat and talking to someone on the phone. Seguchi waved his hand and showed with his hand to the sats. Ryuichi grinnend and walked over to sat down on one of the seats in front of Seguchi's desk. "Yes, I already arranged that... yes, I promise you it will be a big success... don't worry about it!" he said smiling to the other person on the phone. "Call me if there is something important... Sayonara." He hang up and sighed.

"Nihao!" Ryuichi greeted him smiling and laid his songs on the desk. "Here they are... I just managaed to write four songs but there will follow more, I promise!" he said laughing softly and took Kumagorou between his arms. "Kumagorou-chan will help me with it..."

Seguchi smiled too and took the papers. He read the songs with a serious expression on his face. "Good work... I'm sure they will be a hit like always..." he said after some silence with an admiring and content voice. "I talked to Noriko the moment before and informed her about my plans." He continued and looked up at his friend. "We will meet tomorrow to start producing our first album... then there will be a photo shooting and later some interviews with a press agenty... and in two weeks there will be our first concert in the Tokio hall... what do you mean? Sounds that good?" he asked grinning.

Ryuichi smiled all over his face and his eyes gleamed. "Of course it does! Great... in two weeks we will really stand on stage again? Cool!" Seguchi smiled once more and leaned back in his seat. "It's good to hear that from you..." he mumbled and rubbed his forehead. Ryuichi looked a bit concerned at him. "Is there something wrong?"

"Hai... Noriko has doubts that we will have the same success then three years ago..." Seguchi said a bit worried and sighed. Ryuichi put Kumagorou on his friends desk and moved the little bunny. "Kumagorou thinks that this won't happen. He thinks that we will be even more successful than three years ago." He said and grinnend.

Seguchi looked thoughtfully at the rabbit and then at Ryuichi. He just shook his head slightly and chuckled. "Ok, you convinced me... then let's go and eat something... I didn't had breakfast today..." he said and they both stood up and walked down to he cafeteria.
