Merry-Go-Round

Act 1 : It's a sunshine day, dear!




Yatori and Ryutaro were sitting on a bench at the lovely park. It was evening and the air was windy. Ryutaro was licking his 'Green tea'-flvoured ice-cream. Yatori look at Ryutaro for a moment. He had a rendezvous at Kamijo's place this evening and had to leave Ryutaro, but looking at how sweet Ryutaro was, he couldn't help but look at him for a longer while before leaving. ^^

'Ringgg' his handphone beep. Yatori picked up the phone. It was Kamijo on the line. In the background, Yatori could hear the water running sound, Kamijo was bathing! "Aren't you coming tonight??" the sexy voice asked over the other end of the phone.


Yatori felt a flash of excitement running through him, "Well, I’ll be over there in a while… " he replied and hung up the phone. Then he turned to glance at Ryutaro once more.

"You're away again tonight?? " Ryutaro asked. His innocent voice sure made Yatori felt more guilty than over.

Pausing for a moment, Yatori then replied, "Yes dear, but I'll try and come home tonight…."

'But you never do ….. ' Ryutaro wanted to argued but kept it to himself. He just continued to lick the ice-cream.

"Now don't be angry, I'll come home tonight ok… I promise… " Yatori tried to cheer his sad wife. Looking at his sad face made Yatori's heart ache… =p "Now, let's go, I'll send you home."

"No, I wanna stay here." Although Ryutaro is a docile 'wife', he can be stubborn at times. "You can go first…"

"Alright then, but don't stay too late. Call any of the fellows to fetch you when you are leaving." Yatori respect Ryutaro's decision. He gave Ryutaro a light peck on his forehead and left.

Ryutaro continued to lick his ice-cream while looking at the park scenery. But without Yatori beside, he felt that the wind becoming colder. 'Maybe I'll go home when I finish this ice-cream' he thought, pulling his sweater closer.

Just then he saw an image behind the tree. Then, a man begin to emerge from the dark shadows. The man was in a strange old-fashioned clothing. Like someone from another era? He was in a fitting white shirt and black rich-velvet trousers. Gothic is the word! He had his hair tied to the back in a pony tail. Ryutaro had a feeling that he has seen this man before!!

"Hi..." the stranger approached Ryutaro. He had a lovely velvet voice and on close glimpse, Ryutaro discovered that the stranger was a remarkably handsome young man. "Fancy a lovely soul like you sitting here alone on a lovely evening … care to join me for dinner??"

Looking at the stranger's intense blue eyes, Ryutaro had a feeling that he was going to be drowned in them …. But he was quick to revive himself from the imagination. "Dinner with such a charming fellow like you, I wonder why not… " Ryutaro couldn't believe his reply!!!!! He was married and yet could fool around with someone else.. Ahh it's all Yatori's fault!! But he couldn't think of any words to reject the stranger now.

"That'll be great. Shall we proceed?" The stranger lend his hand to Ryutaro. Ryutaro accept it and they were on their way to the stranger's residence, which was just behind the park.

When they reached the destination, Ryutaro couldn't help but admire with awe the nice building where stranger lives. It was a very castle-like and had an authentic feel. Although the building was old, it was very well maintained. How could such a nice place and the beautiful owner escape the attention of the media!

They were seated opposite each other at the dining table. It was a very grand dining room. They were having a romantic candle light dinner ^^. Ryutaro actually had lots of question to ask the stranger but he decide that it's rude to talk when eating. After dinner, they were having some tea in the living room.

This time, Ryutaro started the conversation. "I haven't ask (polite) your name?"

"Gackt, Camui" the stranger replied.

Ryutaro thought for a second. "Does it rings a bell?? ",the stranger asked with some amusement.

"I can't help but I wish to know the reason why you approached me just now… " Ryutaro asked with curiosity. It was strange that someone he didn't know should ask him for dinner at such a grand place, unless the person is a lunatic or a psycho !!

"You are the someone I've been searching for all these while." Again, Gackt look at Ryutaro with an intense gaze.

"But I don't know who are you and …"

"Ssshh …. " Gackt puts his finger over Ryutaro's soft lips and invites him for a dance. "Let's not waste this beautiful music." And gracefully they danced to the tune of a Bach symphony. When the dance had finished, Gackt lead Ryutaro to the sofa again.

After resting for a while, Gackt could feel that Ryutaro was beginning to miss home. "It’s late, let me send you home."

And Gackt drove Ryutaro home in a rather stylish sports car. At the doorstep, Gackt gave a kiss on Ryutaro's hands and mentioned some words, "You'll soon recall who I am and our relation. A few lifetimes of memory is not so easily forgotten... I'll see you again…." and he left.

'A few lifetimes?? Weird!!' Ryutaro thought, but this stranger had left a strong impression in his heart.
