My First Crossfaith Story

MFCS 25: Visit [Eng]

ERIZ

"Sis, let's go to Val's pad! I really miss my drummer bestfriend." I removed my apron as I carefully took out the freshly baked chocolate cupcakes. Val will surely love this.

"Sure. I'll just finish practicing this music  piece." My sister Zam is practicing together with her precious bass guitar even we're in the kitchen. She's that dedicated.

"Take a break, sis. I'm afraid that you're become a better bassist than metal ninja." I teased then gave her a cupcake to taste. "Here, try this." She set aside her bass guitar to munch the cupcake. She gave me a thumbs up.

"You're surely good at baking stuff, Eriz. Aside from photography. You can go and get married anytime."

I giggled at her. "Just wait and be patient, Zam. Let's wait to Kazu baby's wedding proposal to me." And we both laughed.

"Sure thing. You also wait for Ikegawa to propose to me soon."

"Nah-ah, sis. Kenta's the one for you! Believe me!"

"Metal ninja for Zam." My sis insisted.

"Kenta for Zam!" I insisted too. Ha!

"Whatever. Put these cupcakes on a box. We'll go to Valerie. Now." She demanded. Wait, I'm the older sister here, right?!

"Demanding much? Remember that I'm older than you." I frowned while preparing the box for cupcakes. I just let it cool for awhile before puting them to the box.

"You're older but you're childish." She hook her head. It's okay 'cause I know that my sister understands me. She really loves her pretty sister that much. Okay, enough praising myself.

We quickly fixed ourselves and we're ready to invade Val's pad, yay! Zam volunteer as the driver because she's teasing me that I'm like a turtle when it comes to driving, but hey! I'm just being pre-cautious. I admit that she's a better driver than me. I carefully put the paper bag containing cupcakes on my lap.

Crossfaith's songs accompanied us on the road. We can't help but to headbang and sang along with the music. Zam is very good at growling.

I'm falling down I'm feeling your hollow emotions
I'm becoming your veins you swim in my head
“I sink more into you”
Do you remember? The days are fading without you (without you)
My anxious heart baby can you fell it?
I sink more into you

I won't forget all your crying
Your voice lights up all my memories
You start to fade did I love you?
I'm so far away from you
You're so far away from where I need you to be
Take me with you
I need you here with me

Thank goodness for the not so heavy traffic and we quickly reached our destination. 

"Surprise!" We both exclaimed after Val opened the door. Being the crazy cute girl that I am, I covered the peep hole first so that Val wouldn't see us.

"I don't know but I have a hunch that the two of you will pay me a visit today. Come inside, pretty ladies!" Val smiled widely as we went inside her pad.

I handed her the paper bag and she thanked me. She left us awhile here in the living room to prepare something to eat.

"I love Valerie's pad. She's so talented when it comes to drawing stuff!" I admiringly stare at the frames hanging on the wall.

"No doubt that her favorite subject is a drummer." My sister's right. Drummer portraits everywhere, in different angles, too.

"Snack time!" Me and Zam glanced at her. My stomach grumbled at the sight of foods on the tray.

"Home made is the best. No more dieting!" I immediately picked some nachos loaded with cheese toppings. There's also home made pizza and potato wedges.

"No need for you to go on a diet, bff. You're already slim so eat to your heart's content." Val humored while putting some pizza on the plates.

"It's so cool to stay here. Portraits everywhere! You're indeed a great artist, Valerie."

"Still a neophyte. I need to learn more techniques. Sometimes I don't know what to do. If I should draw first or hit the drums. Wish I could do both at the same time." We burst into laughter.

Valerie told us that she'll play at E.R.R.O.R. alongside with Lyric, metal ninja and Hiroki Moriuchi. Of course, me and my sister are very supportive to Val and we'll go to E.R.R.O.R. to watch her hit the drums. Before we went home, we had a small music jamming. Me as guitarist, Zam the bassist and Val the drummer. The three of us act as vocalists to be fair.

Can't wait to see Hiroki Ikegawa again! I wish that the other members were here too especially Kazu baby. Val is still unaware that we already met Crossfaith at Japan.

"Can I have some?" Doggie Teruki asked but already grabbed some potato chips that I'm eating. He's crazy, right?

"You're welcome." I sarcastically said. Two days left before their last performance at E.R.R.O.R. MFS mems together with Hiroki Ikegawa will return to Japan. I will miss them and Hiro.

Are you that it's only Hiro you'll going to miss? My mind teased.

"I know that you're going to miss me, Kiddo. Don't worry I'll cherish our petty fights." He grinned at me. I raised a brow at him. The two of us were here at the veranda. Actually, Doggie Teruki just followed me here.

"I hate you, Doggie Teruki." I frowned while eating my potato chips. He handed me his canned drink. I drank it without having second thoughts because I'm munching some spicy flavor potato chips.

"Oh, that's indirect kiss." He teased that's why I spit some of the drinks directly at him. Why on earth this guy is so annoying?!

"You're really infuriating!" I hit him using the potato chips wrapper. He's laughing at me although his white shirt is already stained with the liquid I spit on him.

"You're so cute when you're mad." He shook his head as he began to undress. Hey wait, my eyes!

"W-what are you doing?" I want to turn around and divert my eyes away from him because, hello, Doggie Teruki is taking off his shirt in front of me! My innocent eyes!

"Ahm, undressing?" He hung his shirt to his shoulder. I feel like my cheeks are burning because of  the view beside me. Or maybe because of the spicy potato chips? Yeah, right.

Are you kidding me, Jana Alarde?

I faked a cough before speaking. "You know what, it's my dream to go to Japan. I want to go and watch my favorite Japanese bands."

"Nothing is impossible. You can go to my country and watch gigs. We're hoping to see you there."

"I will study hard, maybe Mom would be proud of me and gave me a plane ticket to Japan." I smiled at him.

"Study hard, Kiddo." He pat my head and ruffled my hair. So annoying! I struck his hand afterwards. He just gave me a hearty laugh.

"Doggie Teruki is so very happy, huh?" I rolled my eyes heavenwards. I put the potato chips on the small table beside me and leaned on the railings.

"You want me to cry? Okay I'll cry." He acted like he was about to cry but my goodness! His facial expression is so funny.

"Stop that! You look stupid. Let's go back down, maybe they're looking for us. Come on!" I was about to get my potato chips but to get startled at what Teru did. He grabbed my arm and caged me into his arms. I gulped because he's half naked. I even heard his heart beating.

"I will miss you, Jana. I really do."

Sorry for the long wait but hurray! I can use my written future updates maybe on the next chapter or two.
