(Last Time)

�Oh,� Dr. Amano cried suddenly.� �Well, well.�
What do we have here?�

��

�Huh?��
Shuichi turned his attention back to the doctor, his heart pounding in
fearful anticipation.� �What's
wrong?� What happened?� Is it-?�

��

Dr. Amano shook her head, grinning.� �Don't worry, Shindou-san.� Nothing's wrong.� In fact, it seems as if you have a stowaway.�

��

Eiri's eyes widened.� He knew it!

Riku glanced at his parents and then the
doctor and then the screen.�
Stowaway?� What did that mean?

��

Shuichi blinked in confusion.� �A stowaway?�
I don't understand.� How can there
be a stowaway?� Don't-?�

��

�Idiot!�
It means there're two in there.�

Riku�s eyes went wide.� Twins?�
He was going to have two little brothers?� Wow.�
Cool!

��

�T-two?��
Shuichi stared wide eyed at Eiri.�
He had known about the possibility, but�

��

�Are you sure?� Eiri asked his face
carefully blank.

��

�Yep.��
Dr. Amano smiled.�
�Congratulations, Shindou-san, Uesugi-san.� It looks like you're having twins.�

Chapter 26: Bad Lucks Final Curtain
Call - part 1

The
next week and a half went by in the blur of activity.� Bad Luck perfected their acoustic,
instrumental version of �The Rage Beat� while on the other side of the city the
Asian Youth Orchestra they had hired to accompany them the night of the award
show worked on their bit for the performance.�
Together, they all came up with a suitable transition piece that would
tie in �The Rage Beat� with the band's final song of the evening.� The song Riku had suggested suited the
occasion very much, but it had been quite a shock to them all when Shuichi had
agreed to his son�s idea.� Changing the
final song at the last minute had stirred up quite a hornet�s nest.� They had already started the choreography,
lighting, and pyrotechnics and decorating the stage, all of which had to be
thrown out and reassessed.

��

Shuichi
had no idea how their involvement in one of the biggest shows went undetected,
but it did.� As Tohma said, only a few
very select people knew Bad Luck was going to be there at the MCVMA's and they
were sworn to secrecy.� They even had to
sign a contract promising they would not tell a soul until after the performance
was over, otherwise there would be some serious consequences.

��

The
day before the big day, the auditorium where the show was to be held was shut
and locked down.� Security was so tight
you would think the Prime Minister or the Royal Family was inside instead of a
rock band.� Even they would have a
difficult time gaining entrance, though.�
Only those people immediately involved with the show were allowed
anywhere near the building as Bad Luck went through their whole performance for
the first time.� Everyone was in awe of
the students who seemed much more together than the members of Bad Luck.� There were a few glitches with light, sound
and synchronization, but they were quickly worked out.

��

The
day of the actual performance dawned bright and clear.� There was another dry run of the show, a few
pre-award show awards were handed out and once again, the place was shut and
locked down as the special guests went through their performance one last time.

��

Shuichi
had never felt so nervous in his entire life.�
A herald of butterflies fluttered restlessly in the pit of his
stomach.� It had been over a year since
he was last on a stage and he was scared.�
He was so nervous about that night's performance he felt nauseous, but
at the same time, he felt��Excited� was too tame a word for how he was
feeling.� He was looking forward to
finally being able to go up on stage and do what he loved to do.

��

This
was his life.� He loved being up on that
stage and looking out at a sea of exultant fans screaming and having the best
time of their lives.� He loved it when
they could sing the song with no help from him.�
He loved every single minute of it, but as much as he enjoyed what he
did, there came a time when everyone needs a break, some time away and this was
his.� Besides, who said this was the
end?� Bad Luck might make a comeback some
day.

+---+---+

With
his earpiece in, Shuichi paced backstage, full of nervous energy as he waited
for his cue to go on.

��

Because
he had put on some weight due to his pregnancy, if his regular street clothes
did not fit there was no way his stage attire would fit.� So he coerced the costume department to let
him go on stage in casual wear that consisted of a white button down shirt
opened halfway to show a plain black shirt, tucked into a pair of crisp new
jeans.� He had on his gold necklace; tiny
diamond studs in his ears and of course his wedding ring.� It was a nice change.

��

So
far, nobody had any idea who the special guest performers were going to
be.� Many people suspected Nittle
Grasper.� Boy, were they in for a huge
surprise!� Even now, ten minutes before
they were scheduled to go on, backstage was a scene of utter and complete
chaos.� The children's orchestra was in
place on stage, ready for the signal to begin.�
Bad Luck was kept well hidden and away from everyone not involved with
the performance.

��

Closing
his eyes, Shuichi hummed, getting a feel for the music, and started his vocal
exercises.

��

Right
about now, they were giving away the last award of the night, which was the
Viewer's Choice.� Bad Luck had been the
favorites this year to win, but unfortunately, they would not be able to accept
their award in person if they won.�
Instead, they decided in the event they should win, someone would go up
to receive it for them.

��

Shuichi
squealed and clapped widely as Bad Luck's name was announced.� �We won!�
We won,� he whispered.� He became
teary eyed as the whole place jumped to its feet.� A deafening explosion of cheer rippled
through the auditorium.� An echoing cheer
erupted backstage.� The crewmembers
grinned proudly and congratulated the band, clapping the singer on the back.

��

Through
tear-blurred vision, Shuichi watched the television that had been set up
backstage as the cameras focused in on Eiri and Riku sitting in the
audience.� The MC announced over the
thunderous applause that accepting for Bad Luck was Yuki Eiri.� Shuichi watched as his husband and their son
walked up to the stage and bowed politely to the presenters- some big shot actors
that were all the hype back in the early and mid-nineties.� He accepted the heavy, silver award and
turned to stand at the podium.

��

Shuichi
had never loved his family more than he did right now.� Riku had no problem speaking in front of
audiences, no matter the size.� He loved
being the center of attention, but Eiri on the other hand hated doing this kind
of thing and for him to get up on that stage in front of millions of people
made Shuichi love him even more.

��

�Thank you,� Eiri said into the microphone as the place
quieted.� �Firstly, Shuichi and I both wanted to thank you all for your prayers
and get well cards.� This has been a very
difficult time for us and knowing everybody cared and supported him gave him
the strength and the courage to be able to pull through and get better.�

��

Cheers
and clapping followed this statement.

��

�So,� the writer continued, �once
again thank you to all of the Bad Luck fans out there and everyone who made
this possible.� I know they would say
that if it were not for you, they would not even be here today.� Thank you.�� He lifted the award and bowed as the place
erupted into thunderous applause, but instead of being escorted off stage, Eiri
stepped back and let the applause die down once again.

��

�One
minute,� came the shout backstage as Riku stepped out from behind his father
and up to the microphone.� The lights
backstage dim and if Shuichi thought there was chaos before, it escalated, ten
fold.

��

Shuichi
handed over his cane to one of the crewmembers and someone handed him his
microphone.� It would not be turned on
until he was actually on stage.� He was
escorted to the bottom of the stairs that he would have to climb in order to
get to the platform where he would begin the song.

��

They
had decided that the orchestra and Suguru would start with the extended version
of the Last Element Mix version of �The Rage Beat� and act as if that was all
they were doing, a tribute to Shindou Shuichi and Bad Luck's long and lustrous
career, but then the second song would begin and Shuichi would make his grand
entrance.

��

�Each year, the MCVMA's have a special
surprise guest,� Riku was
saying.� �Last year it was Nittle Grasper, live via satellite from New York.�

��

Applause
and catcalls followed this statement.�
Eiri had to fight to roll his eyes.�
Of course, Riku knew all about the �special guest� because he watched
this award show every year whether Bad Luck was appearing or not.� Eiri was only away about the �special guest�
that appeared each year because each year he was forced into either watching or
coming with Shuichi to the show.� If it
were anyone else, he would have killed him or her for dragging him to an
annoying, obnoxious event.

��

�But this year�it's even more
special.� Our special guest this year is a
band that disappeared from the music scene over a year ago.�

��

Whispers
erupted in the audience.� Shuichi could
hear the smirk in Riku's voice.

��

�They are a band that suffered a
tremendous and devastating blow earlier this year.� Everybody thought that was the end for them,
but I am here to say that everybody was wrong.�
Ladies and Gentlemen, it my pleasure to welcome back to the stage�Bad
Luck!�� He stepped back and swept his hand towards
the stage.

��

Almost
immediately, the auditorium erupted in sound.�
Everyone jumped to his or her feet, eager to see the band that had been
written off.� Whistles, hoots and hollers
were the only thing you could hear above the thunderous applause.

��

Shuichi
choked back a sob.� He turned his head
and watched as Eiri and Riku were escorted at a runner's pace through the
throng of people towards him.� He stood
up and raced towards him, tears digging trails down his made up face.� �Riku.�
Eiri,� he sobbed as he hugged first his son and then his husband.� �Thank you!�

��

As
the soft beautiful strains of the violins began, silence descended upon the
place.� The gentle sounds of Suguru's
synthesizer accompanied the melodious sounds.�
Soft lights flickered on illuminating the children's orchestra and the
keyboardist.� The opening strains of �The
Rage Beat� filtered out across the auditorium, lulling the audience gently with
the slowed down version of Bad Luck's hit single.

��

�Baka,�
Eiri whispered, hugging his husband tightly.�
He pulled back and tsked.� �Now you've gone and ruined your makeup.�

��

Shuichi
laughed and dried his face as the makeup people rushed forward to fix the
damage as he was escorted back to the platform.�
Above him, he could hear the rest of the orchestra join in, transforming
the song he had written into something almost magical.

��

�Shu-chan,�
Eiri called.� �Good luck!� I love you!�

�Good
luck, Mama!�

��

Shuichi blew his lover and
son a kiss and smiled as he started up the ladder.
