*The morning before*

I woke up early getting showered, doing my hair and makeup before I went to the venue, my equipment pre packed all i had with me was a duffel bag with clean clothes, jamas and my drawing pad and pencils along with my mp4, phone and their chargers. Seeing the buses I noticed that there was 1 large bus, not 2 but it had 2 levels.It was Huge. I could see my bandmates introducing themselves to the other band GazettE. One of them noticed me, a slim blonde man with a grey strip across his nose, smiling shyly towards me. I bowed slightly blushing before walking over to my friends greeting them with our band opener. All hands in before looking at each other giggling.

'1...2...3....sushi' Lisa our bassist laughed as I swiftly turned and each band member dropped down slightly before separating our hands. Looking at the other band I smiled bowing slightly as Lisa introduced me to everyone.

'This midget is our lead singer and sometimes guitarist, Jade isnt she a cutie' Lisa smiled patting me on the head

'Baka' I grumbled sorting my hair out before bowing and slapping Lisa on the arm.

We all boarded the bus, The blonde guy who had been introduced as Reita kindly took my bag for me and offered to take it to our floor. Thanking him I walked up and showed him where it was to be placed, before thanking him again and bowing still blushing quite furiously. He smiled before dissapearing downstairs to the GazettE part of the bus, after about half an hour of messing about with my band members...

Lisa our bassist has black hair (5'9) Slim frame, lip ring and other piercings and tattoos brown eyes,

Georgia our lead guitarist has red hair (5'7) with a few small tattoos,brown eyes

Becca our pianist and rhythm guitarist (5'9) brown hair no tattoos or piercings, fine features , brown eyes

Beth our drummer has black hair, blue eyes (5'5) 2 tattoos and a few piercings. We were talking about making a checklist of things to do when we arrived before someone came up the stairs.

Uruha appeared with a smile on his face before asking us if we would like to hang out with them downstairs. Nodding in agreement we followed Uruha down to their sector where we were greeted by the others who were all sat at the back of the bus in the lounge playing on the xbox, they were playing guitar hero and currently it was Aoi and Ruki, Georgia acclaimed she would verse the winner. On the large sofa the order from right to left was Uruha, kai, Becca, Beth, Ruki, Aoi, Georgia, Lisa, Reita and then me. Soon it was Georgia against Ruki, Georgia was clearly winning as Lisa and I were high fiving each other and giggling at Georgia who had just finished the song pulling a rockstar pose. Cheering the rest of our band, here the heart lies, smiling and laughing we sat back down as they changed the game, they were now going to play burnout 3. I smiled saying I would take on winner but we raced with muscle series cars, agreeing to the terms Uruha and Kai battled and I ended up facing Kai. Smiling as I selected a black and white ford muscle, he chose a red sports muscle. I sat on the floor infront of Reita as we began the race, after taking him out numerous times i beat him by a lap. Happily I leaned back, smiling as Kai sighed in frustration

'Probably should have warned you I was good at car games' I giggled. We would be travelling for the first 2 days so we decided to play a game called have you ever, if the statement applied you took a swig of your drink, most of us had alcohol but Lisa didn't. After about 3 hours of random statements made by each other, some of us were ready for bed. As the rest of my band went up I just excused myself to get changed, I arrived back down to the lounge in a pair of black tracksuit bottoms and a red vest top which had our band logo on. I went towards the back lounge again, saying goodnight to an exausted kai, along with two equally tired members Uruha and Aoi, I discovered only Ruki and Reita still awake. For another half an hour our conversations were about our past experiences struggles and music, Reita and I were deep in conversation about family betrayals when we finally noticed poor Ruki had fallen asleep.

'Aw doesnt he look innocent' I cooed quietly his face lightly 

'We know otherwise' Reita chuckled carefully scooping the sleeping man up before placing him in his bunk. Returning to the back lounge we sat next to each other talking for another hour and a half before we finally went to bed, hugging goodnight beforehand. I went up to my bunk smiling at my sleeping bandmates, trying to get some sleep I settled myself into my bunk pulling the curtain over after an hour I still couldnt sleep so I decided to go back down and sit in the back lounge with a blanket, a sketch book and a pencil copying a poster of gazette but drawing the members in anime, I also managed to draw an anime sketch of our band and then individual members from both bands. I was in the process of drawing a sketch of our bands as we were first introduced when i drifted off into a light sleep. I woke an hour later in my bunk, Reita sat by me looking at my sketches with the others. I pretended to still be asleep to hear them talking

'Can all of you draw like this?' Ruki asked in amazement

'We each have our own speciality but generally yes, we are all tattoo artists before the band' Lisa smiled shyly

'My speciality is portraits and mythical related things, Georgias is free style and collaboration, Beccas is script and scenery, Beths are colours and animals and Jades is pin up girls, manga characters and greyscale work' Lisa continued pointing to each member as she spoke of them.

'cool what made you choose music over tattooing?' Uruha smiled curiously

'Well we knew if we wanted more than one outlet one would have to be more like a hobby than a career, so we chose music now we just tattoo part time' Lisa blushed as she caught Ruki staring at her. She soon recovered though showing her greyscale sleeve that I did on her right arm,

'that took about 17 hours total' She smiled admiring it.

'How can anyone sit still for that long' Kai gawked

'well every 2 hours we would have a break, I would go for a cigarette and she would check her equipment and play guitar hero with Georgia oh and have lots of tea and coffee' Lisa laughed about my caffeine addiction.

'Seriously shes usually grumpy as hell unless she has a coffee or some form of hot drink and occasionally an energy drink' Georgia mused

'Shall we test this' Aoi smiled mischeviously

'OK but if we die its your fault' Beth warned 

'Hey Jade, Jade, Jadey, Jay-chan wakey wakey sunshine' Becca bounced near my bunk 

' off, seriously' I growled menacingly

'and if i dont' Becca smirked as she walked away

'Dont test me' I growled again throwing a pillow with my eyes still closed and hitting her in the face.

'Ow damn forgot about the deadly aim'  Becca cursed herself as she resumed her seat in the group 5 minutes later Georgia turned to the wide eyed boys 

'Now watch the difference if we send one of you' Georgia smiled enthusiastically

'You guys pick who goes' Lisa added with humour in her voice

'REITA GOES' Aoi, Kai and Ruki Pointed at the scared bassist simultaniously
