Girls, I thought the kimono would be a nice touch :) And I'm so short and skinny I could probably fit into a kimono and wouldn't need to get one custom-made :P

Chapter 82

Catriona peered at the crowd from behind the curtains. Before them, the sold-out crowd at Budokan waited anxiously for the show to start, their chatter like the buzz of insects.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Kitty. If they don't make much noise after each song, that's just the way they are. But if they like it, they really like it, they'll cheer at the end. And remember, we're going to sing Tout Le Monde later", said Dave.

Andrew walked over to them with a bottle of sake. He poured everyone a shot and they raised their glasses. "To a successful show here tonight at Budokan, Skoal!", he toasted, as they drank their shots.

Catriona felt the rice wine go through her, a determined gleam in her hazel eyes. "Let's go out there and kick some ass", she said.


Beren's Dream came onstage to the sound of Sacrificial Dance from Rites of Spring. The loud, primal music seemed to energize them, as the audience looked up at them.

Catriona took center stage, standing behind the microphone. She was an arresting sight in her pink kimono, her gleaming auburn hair in a knot on her head, a necklace of diamonds and sapphires glittering around her throat. There were murmurs from the crowd as they gazed upon the tall gaijin beauty wearing the kimono so well.

The music slowly faded away, as the band played Kiss of the Nightingale, the title track of their album:

Catriona

I had a vision last night
I was slumbering, living in a dream
I see him, he is a handsome mortal
How I wish to kiss his
Heavenly sweet lips

Andrew

I had a dream last night
A nightingale came to me
Her beauty was otherworldly
How I wished to hold her
To kiss those sweet lips

Catriona

I came to him in the dream
I kissed his sweet lips
Caressed his warm flesh
Made love to him

Andrew

She came to me
I held her kissed her
Caressed her sweet flesh
How I long to hold her again

Together

Kiss of the nightingale
How I long for you
In this cold night
Nightingale, I beseech you

Catriona

I saw him again
He was handsome like before
But there is a sadness there
What could be wrong?

Andrew

I saw her again
Oh how my heart yearns for thee
But I cannot see you again
The evil one has come

Catriona

I have not seen him since
My love is gone from me
Someday, I will see him
In my dreams



The band ended their set with a cover of Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. They had played it several times on Gigantour, doing the length complex song both as a tribute to Nightwish and as a crowd pleaser.

The audience stared at her with rapt attention as she sang. Her beautiful soprano sang the haunting lyrics as the band performed the song:

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I`ll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever


"You've been a great crowd, Budokan! Oyusami Nasai and Sayonara", she said, as the band bowed deeply to the cheers of the crowd.

"You guys were great! And you played the Nightwish, wait until I tell Tuomas", said Alexi.

"Da, Alexi. I am going to take a shower and then we will watch the show", said Andrew.

Vanessa- the lyrics you wrote are AMAZING. I love love love songs that have a deep story to them.

I also loved the Nightwish song they covered. WOW- I was searching for an actual Nightwish video for the song and found this: GHOST LOVE SCORE. Vanessa, I'm sure you've seen all the versions but I REALLY loved seeing Nightwish perform it live. I LOVE the lead singer's outfit (very Ao Dai!!) and the way she presents herself. I watched the video and imagined Kitty singing it in her kimono.

This story is AMAZING. I love everything about it.

I definitely have to listen to more Nightwish.

Chapter 83

Andrew took her hand and led her backstage. "Let us take a shower, kiska. Then we will watch the rest of the show", he said.

"Aren't the others going to take a shower?", she asked.

"Da, but we have another shower downstairs", he said.

Andrew led her into the bowels of the building. Below the stage were the showers used by the sumo wrestlers after their matches. These showers were much larger than the ones upstairs in order to accommodate their bulk.

"Uncle Dave showed me this when I went on the System Has Failed tour. It was better than waiting for a shower upstairs", he explained, putting down the bundle of clothes on a table.

They undressed each other and entered the nearest stall, closing the door. Andrew opened the faucet as the warm water fell on them, the sensation a relief from the sweat.

He gently kissed her as he got the soap and washed her body. Catriona moaned at the sensation, his soft hands caressing her body. She snuggled into his embrace as his hands roamed her body.

"I know, purr for me", he whispered, kissing her lips.

She was surprised at first, but she returned the kiss, her tongue parting his lips. Andrew moaned with lust as his tongue dueled with hers. Catriona broke the kiss and grabbed the soap, using it to lather up her body. He chuckled in amusement as her hands roamed his body. "You are a naughty girl, kiska", he chuckled.

She smiled coyly at him, kissing his lips. Andrew's eyes widened in surprise as she got to her knees and took him into her mouth. He growled something in Russian as his hand rested on her head, her mouth working on him.

Catriona licked and sucked on him, relishing the control she had over him. His hand rested on her head as he thrust into her mouth, her moans and gasps filling the space.

"Kiska, I am coming", he groaned, feeling close to bursting. Catriona continued to suck on him, anticipating his release. Andrew cursed loudly in Russian as he thrust one last time into her mouth, grunting harshly as she licked up his seed.

Catriona rose to her feet, licking her lips. "When's it going to be my turn?", she purred.

Andrew breathed heavily, his green eyes glowing with lust. Wordlessly, he kissed her almost brutally and pressed her against the wall. She kissed him back almost as fiercely, her arms wrapped around his neck.

He broke the kiss as his lips traveled down her body. His lips fell on her breasts, kissing her nipples before moving down her body. She trembled with anticipation as he parted her legs wider, moaning his name as he planted a kiss between her legs.

"Andrew!", she squealed.

"Purr for me, kiska", he whispered, burying his face between her legs. His lips and tongue worked their magic on her aroused flesh, her hands clutching onto his hair. She moaned his name as he held her tightly, her belly taut with anticipation.

Andrew continued to lick and kiss her intimately, feeling her tremble in his arms. Her hands tugged on his black hair but he didn't mind, concentrating on her pleasure. She moved against his mouth as his tongue delved deep inside her, rubbing against that sensitive bundle of nerves. "Oh Andrew, oh yes, oh yes, ohh!", she moaned, her climax coming like a tidal wave. Andrew continued to lick at her as the aftershocks coursed through her body.

He finally emerged from between her legs, realizing the water had gone cold. "At least we are clean, kiska", he chuckled, leading her out of the shower. She nodded, her face flushed and her hazel eyes almost black with passion.

"I hope you can regain your voice, so you can sing Tout Le Monde", he teased, handing her a towel.

Chapter 84

They dried off and quickly got dressed, going back upstairs to the backstage area. The camera crew of Rock Fujiyama were setting up to interview them after the show, as the others gave them knowing looks.

"Hey, where the hell were you?", joked Alexi slyly.

"None of your business, Allu. You probably do the same thing with Amy, nyet?", he teased, as Alexi blushed.

"I know, and I'm looking forward to it", joked Amy", as everyone laughed.

"Lamb of God are playing now", said Dave.

They could hear Lamb of God playing the roar of the crowd almost as loud as the band, which was no mean feat. Randy sounded great and the band matched him in intensity, the crowd giving their all.

"Thank you, Tokyo! Good night, motherfuckers!", he bellowed as the crowd roared, the sound ringing in their ears.

"Awesome show, dudes!", shouted Alexi, giving the metal salute.

"I know, break a leg, Wildchild", joked Randy.

Fifteen minutes later, Children of Bodom went onstage to the deafening cheers of the crowd. "Hello Tokyo! Have we got a motherfucking show for you tonight!", yelled Alexi, as the band played Needled 24/7.

The band played loudly and energetically but with great finesse, tackling the difficult music with ease. Alexi growled the angry lyrics, his fingers flying over the strings of his guitar and his hair flying about his face.

The pit in front of the stage grew bigger as more people joined in. The band didn't let up with the sonic assault, continuing to bludgeon peoples senses with their music.

"All right, time to sing along, Tokyo!", bellowed Alexi, as the band played their cover of Oops, I Did It Again. The audience roared with laughter as they played a brutal, pummeling version of the Britney hit. Their version highlighted the sheer awfulness of the song, Alexi repeating the annoying riff and Janne doubling it on keyboards, while he growled the insipid lyrics.

The band ended with Downfall, Janne playing the beautiful, haunting keyboard intro. The audience was quiet until the band burst into the song, the pit starting up again.

Alexi sang with all the passion in his voice, the fingers of his hands flying in a blur over the strings. Arms and legs flailed in the pit as the crowd got louder, almost drowning out the band.

"All right, good night, Tokyo! You've been one great motherfucking crowd, good night!", yelled Alexi, as the band linked arms and bowed.

"Man, awesome show! And I can't believe you played the Britney song, that was fucking rad", said Catriona enthusiastically.

"Yeah, I thought it would be funny as fuck. The song is fucking horrible, but it's fun to play", he joked.

"How are we gonna top that, you young whippersnappers?", teased Dave.

"Dude, you guys rule. You're pretty good for a bunch of old guys", joked Alexi.

"We're old, huh? We'll show you", chuckled Dave.

Well, I contracted a mild case of food poisoning several days ago, and I'm on the rebound, feeling better today :) Maggie, between you and, I liked the New Kids on the Block when I was a kid :blush: At least it wasn't Vanilla Ice :lol: And yes. Britney sucks, but you gotta admit, COB covering Britney is funny as fuck :lol: Their version highlights how bad that song is. I read somewhere that Alexi and Janne came up with the idea when they were drunk, it was supposed to be a Japanese b-side, but took on a life of it's own.

Chapter 85

Megadeth came onstage to the sound of a piercing air-raid siren. The crowd roared in delight as the band took to the stage, a pit ready to form in front of the stage.

Dave took center stage, coolly gazing out at the sea of faces. He was dressed in tight black jeans and a black shirt with the top buttons undone,. His long red hair glowed copper under the spotlight, falling well past his shoulders. There was a menacing gleam in his eyes as the band played Sleepwalker:

I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw you off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
Go to sleep, Sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep! Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!

You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter, I am without fear
Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker - Did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw your body off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Or did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker - Did I buy you the farm?
Put a horse head in your bed
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Everyday
Everyday another way
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me


The pit started almost immediately as the crowd sang along to every word. Arms and legs flailed wildly in the pit and the other fans danced or headbanged furiously, the band's music providing the soundtrack to their frenzy.

"All right, Tokyo. You know you're being filmed for Rock Fujiyama, right? Well, I want to you go to crazy for for Marty and Rolly", he said, as the band played Peace Sells. The pit grew even more frantic and the headbanging more desperate, the screen behind them playing a montage of war footage and old Megadeth live footage:

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

[Chorus:]
If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the president of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?

[Chorus: (repeat)]
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line,
But, it better work this time.

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
[n+1 times more]
No, peace sells...


Several songs later, the band paused to let the band catch their breath. "All right, we got a surprise for you guys tonight, Tokyo. The audiences in the UK loved it and I hope you will too. She is a lady, so gentlemen, behave yourselves. Give it up for Miss Catriona Burton!", he yelled, as the crowd cheered.

Catriona came onstage, a slight smile on her lips. All eyes were on the tall, beautiful gaijin woman as she stood next to Dave. She wore a dark green silk shirt and jeans, her auburn hair falling almost to her waist.

Dave smiled reassuringly at her, handing her a microphone as he played the opening notes of Tout Le Monde:

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
When I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free


All eyes were riveted to them as they played the song. Dave and Catriona had a chemistry when they sang that was electric, the energy around them like a magnet. The women in the crowd sighed with envy, wishing that they could sing with Dave.

Catriona sang the duet in her powerful soprano, singing the French lyrics in the correct accent. She was a vision; even in jeans and a t-shirt, she radiated charisma and sex appeal.

"Tokyo, give it up for Miss Catriona Burton!", he said, as the crowd roared. She blushed slightly, taking a deep bow. Dave smiled at her, a gleam in his hazel eyes. "Later", he mouthed.

Andrew was waiting for her when she came offstage. "You were magnificent, kiska! You should have seen the looks on the girls' faces", he chortled.

"I know, I don't blame them. Let's watch the rest of the show", she chuckled.
