Hard Dreams-Satoshi love story

Chapter 1
“Aw shoot!” Lio yelled making the whole band stop and look at him. “My pick snapped!” Yumi rolled her eyes and gave him her 3rd pick she was using.
“You keep playing too hard! This is the third pick I’ve had to give you in this rehearsal!” she said as she slid yet another pick out of the pocket of her ripped black jeans. Lio glared at her playfully as he accepted the pick before he gave Gin thumbs up.
“Okay guys! From the top!” he said and Yomi Tsubasa started to play again. Everyone one on sync and in tune with each other.

“Awesome guys!” Gin said at the end of rehearsal. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and put their instruments down.
“Hey Kai!” Miko shouted as the bassist was about to walk through the door. Kai turned towards the drummer and tapped his foot in mock-impatience.
“Wanna go get some ramen?” he asked as they headed out of the door. Yumi laughed at the pointless scene she’d just witnessed before she turned to Gin.
“Hey, Gin?” she asked the singer.
“Hai?” he said slipping into his jacket.
“Can I possibly sing backup vocals as well as scream them?” she asked fiddling with a strand of her auburn hair. Gin studied her for a minute before he shook his head, to Yumi’s disappointment.
“It wouldn’t sound right if you sang. Why d’you ask anyway?” She sighed and shook her head.
“It’s nothing.” She mumbled turning to the door, Gin caught her arm and spun her around to face him.
“Why do you want to know?” he said firmly, he grip tightening. Yumi glared at him, trying to hide the pain she was in. She wriggled in his grip in a futile attempt to escape.
“Let me go, Gin!” she growled angrily.
“I’ll only let you go if you tell me why you want to sing back-up vocals.” He snapped.
“I just want too, okay? I want a change from screaming!” she yelled as she ripped her arm out of his grip.
“Well tough!” You.Will.Not.Sing!” he hissed through gritted teeth. She glared daggers at him.
“Give me a reason!” Yumi shouted determined to get her way. That made him hesitate before answering as he thought of one.
“Exactly! You don’t have one!” she snorted and walked out of the rehearsal room smiling triumphantly.
Her mobile went off and she slid it out her back pocket, looked at the caller ID. It was Gin. Yumi sighed and flipped it open putting it her ear and listening.
“How about a deal?” he asked quietly. Yumi considered it for a few seconds before she awnsered slowly.
“What sort of deal?”
“A band vote. You sing back vocals to any one of our songs with the band and I listening and we vote if we think you’re good or not.” He explained.
“How can I know it’s going to be fair? How do I know you won’t bribe the others into to disagreeing?” she asked suspiciously. She heard him sigh loudly.
“I’ll bring my friend along.” He suggested, this caught her attention.
“Who?”
“You know him as Satoshi. We’re touring with his band, Girugamesh in a few weeks.” He said, Yumi’s heart fluttered and practically stopped. She had completely forgot about the tour!
“Fine. It’s a deal.” She said quietly as she thought.
“Good. Tomorrow at rehearsal then. I’ll tell the others!” he said and she could hear the smile in his voice before she hung up. Damn, what had she just done?
