He hurried over  to Akira and grabbed his sleeve. Akira was wearing black shirt and dark blue jeans.
«WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY USING DRUGS TO MAKE ME SLEEP » Akito asked .           . Sayuki just stared at Akira and Akito. Ai was standing just a few meters away , still blushing . Sayuki was disappointed that Akira called her a fan girl but she couldn't blame him, he didn't know better, she sighed.
«Akito what are you talking about?»  Akira asked and sweated nervously.
«Guys..we must go and record our new song now!» Takao said when he came out the front door . They were all now standing outside the door
“Shut you're mouth Takao , can’t you see that I'm talking to my brother”                                  “No..you look like you are going to beat the crap out of your brother…” Takao pointed out.
“Didn’t I say to shut up,Takao ”Akito said angry to Takao.
Ai wanted to run away now , but she knew that would probably make it worse. Instead of doing anything she just stood there , very quiet.
“You needed sleep Akito,and if- - ” , “never mind , we must record the new song. Just don't do it again!” Akito said and let go of Akira.
Akira seemed relived and brushed off the dust from his clothes. Akito coughed , something that made  Akira worried .
“Are you okay Akito...?” Akira asked.
“Yes. F***” Akito answered annoyed.
“Should we go then?” Takao asked trying to melt the  icy atmosphere.
“Yes, Let's go.” “ Before I get hungry , ha-ha” Nachi tried a joke and grinned .
Nobody laughed .
“Se you later , you are going to enter the stand-in contest , right?” Akito asked Ai.
“What's that?” Ai asked still blushing .
“It's a-” he began , before he was interrupted.
“Akito! Aren't you coming?” “ We will be very late if you won't come now” Nachi shouted. “Coming!” Akito said to Nachi and began running towards him.
Ai watched as he ran to him. She sighed and felt her heart ache in sadness of not being able to see him before she went to Sayuki , who looked broken - hearted too.
“What's wrong Sayuki-chan?” she asked ,  hugging her.
“Akira, he-he called me a fangirl” Sayuki blurted out and embraced Ai.
“He didn't know better , right?” Ai said to her, comforting.
“By the way Sayuki? Do you know what a stand - in contest is?”  
“Yes! It's a contest where you are going to audition for playing the “other” Akito in the new video.” “It doesn't matter how you look , because they are going to shoot that scene one more time ,  just with  the real Akito.”
“Ha , I didn't get it.” Ai said , and thought of cutting her hair , back to her old style .
“Ok..( sigh ) you are going to play Akito 2 in the music video.”  Sayuki said and asked Ai .
“Do you understand?” “N-no?” Ai said questioning.
“Never mind , you are going to audition right?” “Because then you get to meet Akito , person to person” Sayuki winked to Ai.
“Well you better sign up quick before the deadline for the contest , or you might not make it”          “ I think the deadline was today 16:00”
“Oh my! It's already 16:30 ,  I'm not going to make it” Ai sobbed unhappy.                                       Sayuki grabbed Ai's hand and ran into the entrance.  “What are you doing?” Ai asked ,but Sayuki just continued to drag Ai along. She didn't stop before she reached the information desk.
“Can I help you?” The receptionist asked.
”Yes! I want to enter the contest . And this girl will too ” Sayuki said and pointed at a shaking Ai. “You mean the Tokyo Night stand-in contest?”  
“Yes!” Sayuki answered happy.
“I'm so sorry, but the deadline was 16:00 It's a way over that time now...I'm sorry.”
“You must do something!” Sayuki shook the lady, screaming at her.  
“Hey, aren't you those girl's that was right outside?” Akito said, walking to them followed by: Akira,Nachi and Takao
“A-Akito?” Ai blurted out .
“What is you're name?”
“U-um...A-Ai...” She said with red in cheeks.
“Wow,That's a cute name!”Akito said and continued“I'm Akito,Yano Akito,  pleased to meet you”
Ai couldn't believe it , her heart throbbed fast .
Akito turned to Sayuki and asked “So, what is you're name?”
Sayuki blushed “S- Sayuki”
“Ok, what's the matter here?” he asked the lady behind the desk.
“They refuse to admit that they deadline for the , stand in contest , is over.” The lady said irritated. “That wouldn´t be necessary , I found the two stand - ins here.”
“W-what?”
They all looked at the giggling Akito.
“Yes, Miss Sayuki and miss Ai can play my girlfriend and the stand - in for me.” “But if you still want to compare to other girls , then ok , they will then enter the contest.
“I would happily play you're girl friend in the video Akito” Ai said blushing , and quickly covered her mouth when she realised what she just said.
“That's ok, if you absolutely want to play my girl-friend , ok ,Sayuki-san can play my stand-in.” Akito laughed a little.
Ai thought she would faint. She stumbled and  her eyes fluttered. Akito noticed and caught her. “Are you okay?” He asked.
“Y-yes thank you , I'm fine , I'm only a bit dizzy.” Ai answered holding him tight.
“Well , I'll see you tomorrow for the shooting!” Akito winked to her and hurried behind the others.   ”Like - oh my God, this must be a dream” Ai thought as she walked out , Sayuki right behind her. “This is going to be a sleepless night..” Sayuki said with dreamy eyes .
“Yes.” Ai answered.





















Akito ran up a hill and into a noisy  street . It was snowing thought it was in middle of June. It was very strange but Akito didn't care .His t-shirt was dark blue as the sky of Tokyo at night , and his pants were black with grey stripes.
“Aki?Wait!” he huffed.
Aki was dressed in a long black cape , even thought it was summer  , and Nike sneakers.            Akito stopped too when Aki suddenly stopped. He reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Why are you running from me?” Akito asked panting.
Aki turned around so she could face him.
“I'm not Aki, Akito.” She said .
He could see it now, it was Ai that faced him, not Aki.
“What the-” He began and suddenly he felt as if he was falling .

With a bang  he was in the hotel bed full covered by sweat,shivering.
“What did you dream about? Because you did dream, right? I could her you mumbling in you're sleep.” Akira said to his younger half. He sat there in blue boxershorts on the bed opposite Akito's. “Uh..-I dreamed about- ” But before he could finish he coughed badly .
Akira said , alarmed “You're ok? I can go make hot chocolate for you if you want.”
“Yes...” Akito answered and blushed when mental pictures of him as little came to him . He had always counted on his brother , and he knew he still could .
.
<flashback>
It was a rainy night and the whole Yano family sat inside in the untidy, dirty and poor - looking kitchen , as Akira pore hot chocolate in three cups. The paint had flaked off of some places on the wall and some tiles on the floor was missing. The blue curtains where all rags. They all looked poor and unhealthy.
“Here Aki and Akito” Akira said and lent over the untidy and dirty kitchen desk. Akito and Aki was sitting in two old chairs beside the kitchen table. It was they're 11th birthday and their father was  very late . It was Christmas time , 20th December .
Akito took a small sip of the hot chocolate.
It was normal that their dad was late , drunk on a lot of vine  ,and a dash of heroin.
Aki,Akira and Akito had tried several times to make their dad  stop drinking , but it didn't help.    Aoi continued drinking and making their life as miserable as ever.
Akito let out a sigh , and before he knew it she had kissed him on the cheek .
“What the—what was that for Aki?!” Akito said , turning around to face Aki as he rubbed his cheek      “Nothing, you had some hot chocolate on you're cheek, besides I love hot chocolate.” Aki said smiling and sipped some of her hot chocolate.


That was the same night as his father died after an overdose.  
“You are a little warm Akito.. you should take a vacation.” “I have said it before ,
“I won't take any vacation , besides we must shoot the new video.”
Akito coughed some moor. Akira sighed and shook his head while he waited to Akito's cough to   stop , and said .
“I'm going to make some  hot chocolate.” And went out the door.
Akito stared at his brother's naked back and let out a sigh. These days he had this weird dream   about Aki.
He took a look at his watch , it was only 5 in the morning. He went out the door to the veranda ,     he wanted some fresh air. Akira come back to the room and put the two cups on the table. The tablecloth was red and white patterned.
“Akito come inside , you will catch a cold if you stay out there.” Akira said calmly.
“I just want some fresh air.” He answered sitting down at the table.
Akira saw the miserable look on Akito's face and asked “Hey what's wrong? Do you have some sort of pain somewhere?” Concern and a scared tone was in his voice.  
“I-I Miss Aki...” Akito coughed badly.

“Akito” Akira began , when he saw his triplet shacking. Akira held his 10 min. younger brother tight , whispering “It's going to be all right” , into his ear. The other brother with red striped hair clung to his brother's naked chest .
  “I miss Aki too” He said to his brother comforting him by patting his shoulder.
“We all miss Aki...drink up your chocolate now, and sleep some moor.”
“But Ni-chan it's not long before we must wake up anyway , why must I go to bed?”
“Because you need sleep Akito. We don't want you to collapse on stage , do we?” He said patting him on the head.

“I NEED THE HAIRCUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!” Ai demanded over the counter to the shaggy man with sunglasses.
“Young lady calm down , you don't have to shout , besides it's only 5 o clock in the morning,” Mimmi entered the salon. “She is going to have a role in Tokyo Night's new video. So wouldn't you bee kind and cut her hair? ” We must have contrast between Akito and his girlfriend.”                     To this Ai blushed. “Aren't you-you...” he pointed at Mimmi trembling like a leaf.
“Honda Mimmi , 28 years old , single and works as manager for Tokyo Night.”                            “Any questions love?” she asked smirking.


“Sayuki-Sayuki wake up it's already 15:03.” Ai shook Sayukis´ shoulders.
“W-WHAT?  What about school?” She jumped up and asked.
“We skip school today , because I didn't have the heart to wake you, Sayuki.”
“B-but what about the video – shoot?”  “It's going to begin within an hour, so you better hurry.”   “Oh shit!” Sayuki jumped up from her bed and ran to her closet to find clothes.

Akito walked  down the stairs from the lobby. He was dressed in a black coat with white stripes ,    a mesh t-shirt , black jeans and black Converse shoes.
“Oh!” “ The sleeping beauty is finally up!” Nachi said and grinned.
“Shut up Nachi!” Akito said grumpy and Takao bumped into Nachi as a warning not to stretch the elastic too far.
Nachi was dressed in a long black vampyre - like mantle , and under it a long sleeved shirt with a red necktie. He had on black pants and Nike shoes.                                                                      Takao was the only in the band with colours . He had  a  green t-shirt with the quote “give me candy and none gets hurt” , light blue jeans and green Prada  shoes.
“Akito can I speak with you alone ?” Mimmi asked .
She was dressed in shocking pink uniform dress and Dior shoes.  
“Yes?” Akito said questioning.
Akira stepped next  to Akito. He was wearing his favourite “AAA” cap and his favourite“16” t-shirt. “I'm going with him!” he shouted to Mimmi. Mimmi was not surprised by this.
“Sorry love, this is a private, between me and Akito, we will be back in five minuts.” Mimmi said and winked , dragging Akito with her into the next room.
“Why Mimmi?” Akito asked wile he huffed to catch his breath.
“Because if you're brother finds out he might say no for you...” “But if it's decided already he has noting to say...so what do you say? “  
“To what?” Akito asked confused.
Mimmi sighed and spoke .“To the Asian music awards and a tour one week before EMA .            “The AMA is going to be one moth after the EMA. So what do you say?” Akito looked outside the window with a far gone look before he turned slowly to Mimmi, the fabric of his clothes making sounds .
“Yes, what ever” He said looking away.
“Y-you say yes?” Mimmi asked happy. “
“Yes, didn't you hear-” Mimmi suddenly hugged him saying ,”I love you!” Happily and giggling “Whatever...” he replied but slitly blushing.

“Hello,I'm Ai. Tachi Ai I´m here to shoot the new video with Tokyo Night.  “Contact Mimmi if you don't believe me .“ “My friend is also going to act , she will play Akito's “stand in” and I'm going to play Akito's girl friend.” She said while blushing madly .                                                                    “That wouldn´t be necessary .” The woman behind the desk said smiling.
“What do you mea -” Ai began but then felt a tap on the shoulder.
“Actually the shooting dosn't begin before 18:05...So want to spend some time with us?” Ai blushed to this and said. “O-Of course” Ai said and she jumped up and down of excitement.
“How cute ” Mimmi said and patted her on the head  . Sayuki on the other hand rolled her eyes and sighed.
“Boys! Ai and Sayuki-san is here!” She shouted as loud as  she could .
Sayuki and Ai held their hands over their ears and blocked out the noise .
Takao,Nachi,Akira and Akito appeared in the lobby. They looked really like j - rockers .  
“First you have some interwieves , then you can eat , and after that we will shoot the video.”Mimmi smiled . They all walked across the  hall, Mimmi, the boys , Sayuki and Ai.
An journalist came running when he saw them. He turned around and faced a camera .
“This is Tokyo Night, and they will be recording their new video “Don't jump”.“I'm TakahashiYuki and I'm interwiving Tokyo Night today.”
-    Why Tokyo Night?
“One,two three..” Akito counted and winked to the others.
Because it's often night when we play and Tokyo for our lovely home - town Tokyo , we really
love Tokyo!” They all said and smiled.
Do you miss Aki , Akito and Akira?
Yes, terribly.. sometimes I want to try death just to see him again...Akito said.
Ok..well that was full of emotion! And this video is too isn't it?
Yes..It's a anti - suicide song telling the listener not to give up, that whatever happens,  to give up is not the answer , Akira said.
You wrote it, didn't you Akito, what inspired you to make it? Akira bit his lip nervously for  what his brother might say.
Well..it's expressing how much pain we felt when our brother died. And it's says that whenever you feel sad.. ( his eyes went blank ), he was on the edge to brake down and tell the secret  . Akira understood and said .
It's not a reason to give up. You most always think of those you leave behind.
And the most important thing is , DON'T JUMP!!!!!!!!!!! Don't give up on you're self.
Nachi said .
Wow..! That's really strong, it's almost  like you've experienced it you're self. Yuki said and laughed .
This was to much for Akito, The colours spun around, the lights went out and Akito lost conciousness, his last thought before his body hit the floor was
“Why did you have to die Aki...?”
