"I forgot you guys practiced in Emi's apartment." Kyou told Takumi, standing outside the door of said apartment.

"Well, it costs nothing, plus her drums are here so where else would we go?" He responded, looking back at him.

"Don't get noise complaints?"

"Guy above us a huge metal-head, he enjoys the noise."

"Nice."

Takumi opened the door, stepping inside and allowing Kyou to enter. The purple haired teen entered, looking around the apartment.

"Haven't been here in a while..." Kyou muttered to himself, "Where are we practicing at?"

"She's not awake... uhh we'll be practicing in Emi's room since that's where her drums are," Takumi told him, looking around, "I'll go wake her up real quick."

"Alright..." Kyou responded as his friend opened a door and stepped inside.

Inside Emi's room, Takumi gently shook his friend awake. "Emi, wake up, we've got practice," he said in a hushed voice.

Emi groaned and rolled over in her bed, pulling the covers over her head. "Five more minutes," she mumbled.

"Kyou's waiting outside..." He told her.

Emi's eyes shot open at the mention of Kyou waiting. She quickly threw the covers off and sat up, suddenly wide awake. "Why didn't you say so earlier? We can't keep him waiting! I'm getting up!" she exclaimed, a sense of urgency in her voice.

Takumi exited the room, Emi following behind him. She saw Kyou standing in the corner and rushed over to him!

"OI!" She exclaimed, hugging him, "I haven't seen you in months!"

"Yeah, yeah... it's nice to see you too..." Kyou responded, groaning from her squeezing him a little too hard.

Emi Mori is a friend of Kyou and Takumi, being the reason they even met in the first place. She is in her third year and attends school alongside Takumi, who is kind of her boyfriend, except they don't really call each other their partners. She has shoulder length messy blonde hair tied up into a small ponytail.

"Be a bit more lively wouldn't you asshole..." She said, releasing him and rolling her eyes, "At least act like you're happy to see me!"

"Sorry!" Kyou said, raising his hands in defense, "Just got a little surprised by your sudden latching onto me!"

"Oh, shut up, I was doing what a good friend does when they haven't seen their friend in ages!" She told him, "Anyway why are you here..."

"I told you yesterday and when I woke you up like 2 minutes ago..." Takumi groaned, "Kyou's helping us perform two days from now. We're practicing."

"Oh yeah! I forgot" She said, giggling, "Anyway, I should set up my drum set, so follow me into my room!"

Kyou and Takumi both followed Emi into her room, which was filled with music posters and various instruments scattered about. The drum set sat proudly in the corner near her bed, surrounded by a couple wires and other little things and necessities. 

"So, you're really going to join us for the gig, huh?" Emi asked, glancing back at Kyou with a playful grin as she picked up the drumsticks from her desk.

"Yeah, why not?" Kyou replied, nodding at her, "I'm dying to play with people other than my sisters anyway..."

"Don't drag on your sisters man, they're cool people" Takumi scolded him, "Especially Kuniko... she's so-"
