Onihunter Yuna

73 The concert

Floodlights illuminated the stage. The band came out of the backstage area and got into position.

Mizuki did not only stand out because of her gender and her hair color, but also because of her outfit. She combined her dark over-knee-boots with a short, white dress and a black leather jacket. Her silver guitar paintwork gleamed in the light. Her hair hung open over her shoulders. Slightly nervous, she peered into the taproom, without really looking at someone.

Nobu immediately disappeared behind his drum kit, so one could only see a black T-shirt and his head. He grabbed his drumsticks and whirled them around briefly, then he fumbled at his drum throne to set it up properly.

Kaito danced in a black tank top, black shorts and a pair of unlaced combat boots to the edge of the stage and began to speak with the audience. His arms were decorated with various tattoos, which Yuna noticed for the first time. His black bass dangled loosely in front of his stomach, while he was talking to a few fans.

Wataru, dressed in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves, black jeans and black boots, his guitar slung to the back, threw an annoyed glance at Kaito and shouted something at him. Blamed, Kaito came back from the edge of the stage.

"He looks super today.", raved Hikari, while starring at the singer.

"He does.", confirmed Ayumi.

Yuna said nothing, but she felt the same way. She hadn't seen Wataru this chic so far.

The young musician stepped to the microphone and cleared his throat. "Hey guys." Immediately, a pack of fan girls screamed in the front row.

Yuna rolled her eye. Fangirls ...

"We are Wakamino. Thank you so much for showing up so numerous to hear us play. If the sound is shit, it's most certainly our bassist Kaito's fault ..." He pointed to the blonde. "... So throw your vegetables at him, or whatever you have with you." A laugh went through the audience. "Have fun."

Wataru won a first applause for his opening. He turned to Nobu and stretched a thumbs-up. The drummer returned the gesture. Then the singer looked at Mizuki, who indicated her readiness to him with a merely nod.

Finally, he looked at Kaito, who just shrugged grinning. Smiling, Wataru shook his head and took his guitar to the front.

"I'm looking at you through the glass."

Partly offset, Wataru started to play his guitar and opened their concert with the hit "Through Glass" from Stone Sour. The fan girl horde squealed again excited and sang loudly with him.

Nobu began with an improvisation and accompanied the guitar with a gently played hi-hat variation.

"Oh God it feels like forever."

Yuna noticed that both Ayumi and Hikari sang along. She pricked up her ears, and noticed that a lot of people were singing along. Was she really the only one who did not know the song? Insecure, she sipped on her cranberry vodka. The drink tasted extremely well.

"How do you feel? That is the question."
