MurdocX2D - A big tour ch 20

Soon the evening came over Kong studios and Murdoc had stayed in his Winnebago the whole day drinking and kicking things around like crazy. Cortez had glared at the bassist without a word as he sat all still in the couch. Murdoc was so angry about the picture he saw before that he were about to lose his mind. He didn't know at all how he could be so bloody angry and jealous. Murdoc threw himself down on the couch almost right on Cortez. The black bird croaked high and flew away from the bassist. He sat down on the table in front of the bassist and glared at him with dark eyes. Murdoc ignored the bird and lighted a cigarette instead. He didn't know what to do anymore. 2D seemed to enjoy France and his new job, and he didn't seem to have any thoughts on coming back to England and to the band. The bassist groaned at the thought that Gorillaz couldn't keep on without the blue haired boy. Gorillaz was the bassist life, his everything, his life! He lived for this! He had sold his soul to Satan to make this band keep on forever. But if 2D wasn't a part of it, Gorillaz couldn't exist anymore. Murdoc sighed and inhaled the smoke from the cigarette. He still was a bit drunk after all the alcohol he had sipped in before. He wanted to get on better thoughts now. Cortez flew up and sat down on the bassist's knee. Murdoc lifted up his leg a bit so he could pet Cortez slowly. Murdoc smiled a little as Cortez croaked softly. The nice moment was ruined as the drummer slammed up the door and walked in. Cortez croaked high and flew up and so did Murdoc. Russel walked up to Murdoc and the bassist glared at Russel in anger.

Murdoc: You ever heard of knocking fat ass!?

Russel: Oh shut up Muds. I just wanted to check on you. You're always locking yourself up in your room all the time. What happen before?

Murdoc: Nothing… Face ache is just taking pictures with whores…

Russel: What!?

Murdoc: You heard me…

Russel: You're so fucking weird you know.

Murdoc: Tell me something I don't know…

Russel: You really miss D don't you?

Murdoc: I DON'T!

Russel: I don't get you. D's just living his own life now. Why can't you just accept that!?

Murdoc: I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THAT!

Russel: You know man… I think this is the end of our band.

Murdoc: HELL NO! GORILLAZ WILL NEVER END! WE WILL KEEP ON EVEN IF WE NEED A NEW SINGER!

Noodle: New singer?...

Murdoc and Russel flinched as they heard the little girl's voice in the doorway. They turned and saw Noodle standing in her pajamas looking at the two others with an asking and shocking expression. Russel blinked and walked up to her.

Russel: Nothing baby girl. We're just talking a little.

Noodle: What about a new singer?

Murdoc: We need a fucking new singer to save the band!

Noodle: NO! IIIEE!! 2D-KUN IS THE ONLY ONE!

Murdoc: YEAH RIGHT! HE'S GONE NOODLE! JUST GET IT!

Noodle: BAKA!! BAKA, BAKA!!

Russel: Calm down baby girl. We aren't gonna replace D.

Murdoc: *groans*

Noodle: Russel-sama.

Russel: Yeah?

Noodle: I'm going to bed. Can you put me to bed?

Russel blinked as Noodle asked that. He always thought that she was too old for that. But he then remembered back at the tour they had, that night when he and Murdoc saw 2D sing for her. He smiled and stroked her hair. Murdoc felt like puking as he saw it.

Murdoc: Can you two get out before I kill myself?

Noodle: Good night Murdoc-san.

Russel: Night Muds.

Murdoc: Whatever…

Russel followed Noodle upstairs back to her room. Noodle wasn't that much for letting people into her room at all but right now she didn't care about that. She wanted some company since she felt so sad and lonely. Noodle crawled up in her big cozy bed and Russel sat down beside her. She then crawled up to him and sat down in his lap. Russel smiled and stroked her hair slowly and she grabbed his shirt and snuggled into him. Russel gave her a warm hug and he felt something warm and wet hit his shirt. He knew that Noodle was crying again. Noodle cried so quiet that Russel couldn't hear it. He sighed and looked down on her, he had never ever seen Noodle cry this much. But he understood her of course. Noodle sighed deeply and let the tears sneak their way down her pale cheeks. Russel looked at her and she slowly raised her head.

Ruseel: How are you feeling Noods?

Noodle: *wipes away her tears* I know… I know I shouldn't cry so much… But I can't stop Russel-sama. Why did 2D-kun left? Do you think it was because of me?

Russel: *shook his head* Of course not. You know he loves you.

Noodle: Then why did he leave?

Russel: Noodle… I don't know. I… I guess he had enough.

Noodle: Of what? *sobs*

Russel: Maybe how Murdoc treated him… But that would be a too small reason. They fight all the time.

Noodle: *nods* But… Still…

Russel: I know you miss him so much Noodle. I miss him too. We all do. We just aren't a band anymore without him.  

Noodle flinched as she heard that. Sure the band was important but she saw them more as a family then a band. Russel stroked her head again and she hugged him. He pulled her close and sighed. Noodle yawned and tried her best to keep her eyes open. Russel noticed how tired the little Japanese girl was and lifted her up. He then laid her down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. Noodle snuggled into her pillow and smiled at the drummer. He smiled back and walked to the door. He stopped as he heard Noodle's voice again.

Noodle: Russel-sama?

Russel: Yeah Noods?

Noodle: Are we going to split up?

Russel felt bad when he heard Noodle's heartbreaking tone. He knew that their family was important for Noodle. It was for him too and everyone else. They had been together for so long and had become so good friends. Russel smiled softly and met the little girls look.

Russel: No Noods. We're going to stay together. I promise that everything will be okay.

Noodle: Good night Russel-sama. I love you.

Russel: Love ya too Noods. Sleep tight.

Russel turned off the lights and walked out of Noodle's room. He sighed as he walked through the corridor back to his own room. He didn't know either what to do anymore. He really hoped that what he had told Noodle was true. He could feel the same way as her. He didn't want to leave the band either and how would things turn out if they all split up? 2D seemed to have found his further work but what would the others do? Russel shook his head and changed into his sleeping clothes. He brushed his teeth and went to bed. He hoped that the next day would be better than this one.

Murdoc had fallen asleep on the couch in his Winnebago after all the beers. Cortez still sat and glared on his master with wide eyes. He didn't cared that much about what the bassist did, the bird just flew up and sat down on his head. Murdoc didn't notice anything at all and kept on sleeping. Cortez soon fell asleep as well on the bassist's head and soon whole Kong studios were sleeping, everyone except one. Noodle couldn't sleep at all. She couldn't stop thinking about what the others had said before. What if they really were going to get another singer? Or even worse, Split up… Noodle refused to that! She wasn't going to let her family get destroyed because of a fight or whatever the stupid reason was. Noodle had made up her mind. She was going to get 2D back, no matter what it cost. She sneaked out of her bed and carefully got dressed. She put on long stockings, black shorts, a light blue t-shirt and a monk jacket with butterflies on. She even put on a cute hat with cute animal ears on. She then grabbed a backpack and packed some important things with her. She packed down her pass, IPod and headphones, her wallet, phone, and one of the magazines with 2D in it. She thought that she maybe could find the place better if she could remember the name of the model studio and the impression. Noodle grabbed the backpack and slowly walked out of her room. She was just on her way to go when she suddenly stopped and thought for a second. She didn't want the others to get worried for her so she decided to at least write a note. Noodle slowly walked into the kitchen and ripped off a clean note from the fridge door. She took out a pen and slowly thought of what she should write. She tapped the pen into the table slowly and then even chewed on it a little. She didn't make up a good start so she had to cover some of the letters. Then she switch side of the note and began writing again. This time it sounded better and she put the note on the fridge door, back on the same place as she had took it. She knew that they wouldn't miss it, At least Russel wouldn't. Russel always went to the kitchen to eat so he wouldn't miss the note on the fridge at all she thought. Noodle nodded quickly and swung the backpack up on her shoulders. She didn't want to make too much noise as she ran out from the building. She couldn't take the lift without making too much noise and she didn't want to take the stairs. Instead Noodle ran out on the balcony and jumped off the balcony rail. She carefully climbed down like a little lemur and got down on her feet. She quickly looked around before she ran the fast as she could into the city. She was heading to the airport.  

After an hour Russel woke up and slowly rose up from the bed. His stomach was growling for food so he decided to head to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. The drummer walked down the corridor to the kitchen and groaned at the same time. He couldn't sleep either but he tried his best anyway. Russel forgot about how tired he was and walked into the kitchen. Of course he walked right to the fridge and was just about to open it when his eyes fell on the little note right in the middle of it. He blinked and gently ripped it off the fridge door to read it.

---

Dear Russel-sama and Murdoc-san.
I will be gone for a while. It won't be long I hope. I'm going to Paris to bring back 2D-kun home. I don't care about what you say anymore. I refuse to let our family be destroyed! If we all split up I don't know what to do. I lost a "family" once and refuse to do it again! Don't worry. I will be back with 2D-kun in no time. Then we will have our family back again and Murdoc-san will have his band. We will all be happy again, or at least everything will get back to normal. See you both later.
Love Noodaru!

Russel gasped as he read the letter. He grabbed the note harder and run as fast as he could to the car park. He ran up to the Winnebago and slammed the door open with a large bang making the bassist yell in shock and Cortez croaked high and flew around the place like crazy. Murdoc sat up in the couch still drunk for everyone's surprise. He couldn't even react before the drummer grabbed his shoulder's and shook him like crazy.

Russel: NOODLE'S GONE MAN!

Murdoc: W-What are you*hick* talking about?

Russel: Look! I found this note on the fridge and it's Noods Handwriting!

Murdoc: She's gone? *hick*

Russel: Yeah! She's gone to France to bring back D!

Murdoc: *chuckles and tries to stand up*

Russel: What the hell are you laughing at!?

Murdoc: *hick* T-This is just great… You hear me? THIS IS JUST SO FUCKING GREAT! *sit's back on the couch and chuckles*

Russel: Dude! She's going there all alone! What if something will happen to her! We have to go and get her!

Murdoc: J-Just believe it! My life is over. Hehe… First 2D left me for being a *hick* bloody Model… Then Noodle runs away to join him. Hehehe… EVERYONE WILL LEAVE SOONER OR LATER!! HAHAHAHA! Isn't it just great Russ!? Hey! If you want to, I can help you pack your bags if you want to go too!

Russel: Man calm down! Listen! We have to get Noodle back. Let's go!

Murdoc: Everything is totally pointless! I- *hick* I should do something right now! I-I should burn the place down or just kill myself by banging my head with my bass! Hehehe! No! I will, I will! I WILL FRY MY RAVEN! Yes that is! Hey Cortez! Come here boy! I have a new friend for you! *hick*. He's named frying pan!

Russel: Hey, Hey, HEY! PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER! We have to get Noodle back!

Murdoc: *falls down on the floor and drunk and laughs high*

Russel: *rolls his eyes and sighs* You know… I'll go change and then we both are going to the airport!

At the airport Noodle had already checked in and now sat on the flight to Paris. She sat in the big seat and swung her legs back and forth slowly and carefully as she listened to music with her large headphones. She had pulled the ski cap over her head so she could be sure that no one recognized her. The last thing she wanted was attention. Noodle looked out of the window and saw the night sky outside. It was a very nice view. She rested herself against the seat and tried to relax. An air hostess walked passed her seat and stopped. The woman looked at the little girl that sat all alone and all spaced out by looking through the window. The hostess gentle bended towards and tapped Noodle gently on the shoulder. Noodle quickly turned to the hostess and took off her headphones. The hostess smiled at Noodle and asked her if she was alone on the flight. Noodle bit her lower lip and quickly tried to come up with a lie.

Hostess: Are you alone dear?

Noodle: N-No.

Hostess: Where are your parents?

Noodle: Toilet.

Hostess: Oh I see. Do you want something dear? Tea, soda?

Noodle: No thanks.

Hostess: Okay.

The hostess smiled and then walked away. Noodle rolled her eyes and looked out through the window again. She could take care of herself. She wasn't weak at all. But she knew that the air hostess only meant well. Noodle sighed and hoped that she would arrive in Paris by the morning. She was dying to see 2D again. Four month without seeing your favorite big brothers face was a long time. Noodle rested herself against the chair again and soon fell asleep just as she listened to 12D3. She smiled as she heard the singer's voice.

TBC!
