Her orange eyes flicked over to Jin who was sitting down by Keito. He was leaning against the couch, one arm thrown over the back. He was calm just like she had expected he would be. His hair was shoved under a hat and his eyes were fixated on the host of the show that he had been on many different times.
The woman was practically eating him up with her eyes and Jude could feel the small tingles of jealousy making their way up her spine. This was supposed to be an interview about Madam Butterfly, not Jin and the clothes he was wearing and what he ate that morning. She watched as Tyler rolled her eyes and her head fall back in boredom. The cameraman signaled that it was time for a commercial and the lady put a hand on one of Jin’s knee, sending a shot of fire through Jude. What the hell?
“Look lady, you guys asked us on here for an interview and to sing a song okay. Takeo is sick and that’s why Jin’s here. He’s not here for you to fucking grope and flirt with while you totally ignore your real guests. Now I say you better do your fucking job right or I am going to cause a big fucking stink that is going to get you fucking fired and never hired by another fucking station in all of Japan okay,” Jude said, her orange eyes narrowing.
Tyler tried to stifle a laugh as Jin and the woman looked at her wide-eyed. Keito just shook her head slightly and Yuuki stayed silent. Jude had taken the words right out of her mouth. Jin straightened up in his seat and went to open his mouth, but Jude silenced him with a look.
“Back in five…” The cameraman started counting off and the host hurriedly tried to collect herself, pulling her hand away from Jin and back to the cards that sat on her lap. Jude leaned back in her seat, running a hand through her green hair. This was fucking ridiculous, she should have asked Shun or Yoo, they would have been professional.

Takeo watched from her seat in Yamashita’s office, her feet up on the edge of his desk. She felt like she was being punished at school, having to stay in the principal’s office as her friends enjoyed recess.
The host lady that had been ignoring her friends for most of the interview now had a new tune as she pulled down on her black button up shirt. She had a forced grin on her face, while Jin looked shocked, Tyler amused and Jude down right angry.
Man she wished she would have been there to hear Jude go off on the lady. She just knew that she did, it was written all over Jude, even the way she was sitting told Takeo that Jude had lost her cool… again. Jude was doing that a lot lately and Takeo was starting to wonder if the secret was getting to their cool headed leader as much as it was getting to everyone else.
She heard someone shift in their seat next to her and looked over to see Sho sitting in Yamashita’s seat. He was on babysitting duty while her manager was down at the station probably losing his mind at the outburst she knew Jude had, had.
“Your single ‘Regret’ had been out for a month now and is staying strong at the top of the charts, how does that make you feel?” The host asked and Takeo rolled her eyes. What a dull question. Of course they were happy, how else would they fucking feel?
“Good,” Jude said being totally uncooperative. Takeo let out a laugh that drew Sho’s attention away from the screen. His red eyes narrowed on Takeo and her eyebrow shot up. He had been awfully moody since the day before and she was starting to wonder what crawled up his ass and died.
“What the hell’s the matter with you Sho?” Takeo asked as she passed a glance in her friend’s direction. He pointed at the screen, his finger pointing at Tyler who was smirking about something, a question the host had asked.
“What did she do now?” Takeo asked. It was always something with those two.
“I caught her and Kame having sex in one of the broom closets yesterday,” He said, his voice sounding agitated. The drink that had been heading toward Takeo’s mouth stopped as she whipped her head toward Sho again.
“What!”
“Just what I fucking said, don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Wow! Since when?” Takeo asked. Sho’s hand fell down onto the desk loudly, making Takeo jump slightly.
“I don’t fucking know! Just fucking drop it okay!”
“I just…” Takeo started, but stopped when Sho stood from his seat and ripped the lamp from Yamashita’s desk and chucked it at the wall, shattering it into a million pieces.
“Do you ever shut the fuck up? Who fucking cares who she fucks in a broom closet like some fucking whore? I fucking don’t!” Sho yelled before he headed for the door to the office and slammed it closed behind him. She could hear him thundering down the hallway as she stayed glued to her spot.
The amount of revelations that had been happening in the last couple of days was astounding and she couldn’t help but wonder who else knew about the secret. Was it even a secret anymore?

Yuuki plopped down in the limo seat and let out a sigh. The whole thing had been a disaster and she was pretty certain that Jin had messed up the performance because of what Jude had done. If Yuuki wasn’t such a shy creature she would have shown him how much what he had done really pissed her off. She could think of dismembering one of his favorite parts of his own anatomy and giving it back to him in a jar. Jude had been so upset that she had decided to walk home and Jin had been smart enough to get a taxi. At least he was smart when he needed to save his own skin.
“Wait until I get my hands on him,” Tyler said as she grabbed at thin air like she was chocking a certain bass player.
“No one is going to do anything. We need to all just chill out. Getting into fights with other band members is not going to make anything any easier. It’s only complicating things and the fact that people keep finding out that were girls is making everything harder,” Keito said, trying to calm the situation. “Our aura’s are all over the place.”
“Don’t sit there and act all righteous Keito. You’re having your problems to,” Tyler said as she grabbed a bottle of water from the small fridge in the back of the limo.
“Yes, but I’m dealing with them like an adult.”
“Okay, just because our leader took a weekend trip to lala land does not make you our leader now so stop acting like it.”
“At least I’m not sneaking around in broom closets with boys,” Keito said, making Tyler’s eyes grow wide.
“How did you…”
“I just know okay.”
“Well you…” Tyler started, but Yuuki put up a hand to stop them. It was that time of the year again, when they all went at each other’s throats because things were not going the way they planned and Yuuki was tired of it. Nothing ever went the way anyone planned. It was a simple fact of life that they all had to get used too. Jude knew it, Yuuki knew it and the others were just going to have to embrace the fact too.
“Would you two just shut up please,” Yuuki said, her small voice tired. The two girls fell silent and Yuuki let her head fall against the window. Even if it was just a short break from the chaos that was their life she would take it. She was starting to miss the old life, back when all they worried about was what they were going to eat that night and when their next gig was going to be.
