Kiyo sighed, his shoulders completely sagged. Sucking in a deep breath, he walked through the swinging doors of the "Unhappy Camper."
Today, the whole world just crashed around poor Kiyo. Finally, after so long of trying, he had realized, once and for all, the horrible truth:
Nada would never fall for him. She had a bishie in her life.
Shaking his head, he took a seat at the bar, his shoulders weary and his outlook downtrodden.
"What'll ya have?" asked the bartender.
"Something strong. And hard," Kiyo muttered.
The bartender poured him some apple juice, "Here ya go, Kid."
Kiyo sighed, taking a sip. Surely someone else could relate to his bishie woes?

"Kiyo... is that you?" Iro lifted his head wearily, his hair strewn across his face. He gulped down another glass of cider, slapped another bill on the table, and promptly gulped down the next glass he was given.
He stumbled over to where Kiyo was sitting and put his arm around him. "So... you having Bishie problems as well?" Iro flipped his hair out of his face and continued. "I know the feeling. Having all your hopes dashed away by them. Only to have the smile, and giggle, and SPARKLE in your face... its horrible."

Kiyo only barely took notice of Iro. He was too busy staring into his glass of apple juice. "Yeah....those bishies! I mean, it's not enough that they steal all of the women, is it? NO, they have to go and be so darn pretty."
He took another swig of his apple juice. To no surprise, his glass was empty. "Heh," he muttered, "Just like my life. EMPTY."
He turned to the barkeep, "Hey! Send another over for me and my friend here." With that finalized, he slapped another bill on the table for the both of them.
"I mean, how are we supposed to compete with SPARKLES?"

"I dunno... I just... for gosh sakes... I'm BLIND and I can still see the sparkles. They penetrate even the barriers of blindness. It just... doesn't make any sense to me."
Iro swigged down the drink Kiyo had graciously bought for him. "Thanks man. I just... I gotta get some of this off my chest. I..." Iro peered over towards a small machine in the corner of the room with a red velvet covered chair.
"Thats it!" Iro said as he got up and crossed the room. He picked up the microphone and flipped on the switch. "I dedicate this song to all those who's dreams of love have been dashed away by those beautiful men, known as Bishies..."

Kiyo took down another swig of apple juice, finishing the glass off. As Iro continued to bemoan all of the wrongs that those Bishies had committed, Kiyo continued to drink. Before he knew it, he was up on the stage with him, microphone in hand, his place at the bar empty, save for the thirty or so shot-glasses he'd downed in those few minutes.
"Yeah! It's always been those bishies!" he rattled off to the audience, which slightly murmured in agreement. "And with this song, we shall show you the true pain!"
From nowhere, Iro seemed to have suddenly unveiled a guitar, and was strumming appropriately as a beautiful tune started....

"Baby I get so scared inside, and I don't really understand Is it love that's on my mind, or is it fantasy."

Kiyo took a giant breath.
"Heaven,"
He paused, closing his eyes as he felt the chill of the guitar,
"Is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?"
He looked around. Iro was completely enraptured in his guitar playing. Kiyo used this to further embolden himself.
"If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain unchanged If I close my eyes forever Would it all remain the same..."At this point, the entire room was theirs for the taking.
"Sometimes It's hard to hold on So hard to hold on to my dreams It isn't always what is seems When you're face to face with me!"

Iro took the cue from Kiyo to pick up his part.
"You're like a dagger And stick me in the heart And taste the blood from my blade And when we sleep, would you shelter me In your warm and darkened grave"
Iro could see some of the patrons in the room wiping tears from their eyes, while others lit lighters, or fire jutsu's and waved them slowly back and forth.
"If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain unchanged If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain the same..."
"Will you ever take me"

Kiyo kneeled down, Mic in hand as he belted the next line. It seemed the lights behind them were even flashing in rhythm.
" No, I just can't take the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain."
From nowhere, a slow mist began to fill the room.

Iro strummed a few chords on his guitar as he put one foot up on the chair. He soulfully pulled the mic back to his face, "But would you ever trust me?"

Kiyo looked back at Iro, the fog swirling by their feet,
"No I'll never feel the saaaaaaaame. Ohhhhhhh!!!!!"
And in that instant, both he and Iro jumped off the stage, landing amongst the crowd as Iro began his amazing solo.

Iro closed his eyes as he wandered through the crowd of onlookers, slowly strumming his guitar, raising his head to the ceiling every now and then.
Meanwhile, as Iro continued his guitar solo, Kiyo merely stood in place, with his eyes closed, and his head tilted to the ceiling. He slowly raised his hands up as Iro continued to play.
"I know I've been so hard to you I know I've told you lies If I could have just one more wish I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes"
As Iro continued, he began to sway from side to side, and bob his head emotionally, putting more and more feeling into each consecutive line.
"If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain unchanged If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain the saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame..."

Kiyo was completely engulfed in the music by this point, his hands held high, reaching out to the heavens. Suddenly, almost as if posessed, he let loose the final words, the sudden mist seemed to spread away from both performers, a spotlight appearing on both of them as Kiyo finally belted,
"CLOSE YOUR EYES...
CLOSE YOUR EYES....
Ya gotta CLOSE YOUR EYES for me....."
With a somber bow of his head, his arms still outstretched, the lights went off.
The tearful ballad....was over.
