Do you know what you got into

SHOU
No escaping when I start .traeh ruoy nwo I ni m'I ecnO

Sweet moments...normal...quiet.

Shou snuggled in and was quite content to remain right where he was. The romantic comedy was just what he needed to forget about the unnerving events surrounding dinner. "Every day? Oh you shouldn't wish for that. It would be way too much work for you." he answered softly as he nestled between those strong arms.

He couldn't help but laugh at some of the scenes in the movie and by the time it was over his toes were curled around Jun's. Everyone in awhile they uncurled only to repeat the process. Shou's toes were long and he enjoyed using them when the opportunity struck. It was a little game for him to see how much he could curl under them.

But soon he was napping..and then drifting further to sleep. His face turning to tuck into Jun's shoulder while his lips found a spot to leave a kiss mark.

Matsumoto Izo
Chairman - SMASH

Mine...mine...you're mine...such pretties for me.

Izo sighed. Probably the first 'human' reaction he had to any of the conversation so far. Kids never knew how to clean up after themselves and he was sure as heck surprised that any of them had been so lucky to remain unquestioned. He'd have to make sure to look into that mess discretely just so nothing came out of the closet inconveniently. Although it seemed like that there was much more in Naoko's closet still to be revealed.

"You attacked someone? Should I ask who?" he said as he glanced at Nako looking him over slowly. Then...he listened as Naoko revealed the rest. His eyes drifted down and wandered along the length of his cigar to the burning tip. Getting up, he picked up the Ipod then wandered over to the wall that had a small fire gas fire place. He hit a few buttons...two at the top and one a little lower. Then soon the fire place lit up making a merry blaze. After which, he tapped his ash from the cigar into an ashtray on the mantle.

He said nothing but he turned on the Ipod and let the music play for a bit. Listening to every note and probably thinking about everything Naoko had said. Then his fingers moved a little to draw the cigar back to his lips. Finally, as he drew away the cigar from his lips he said slowly, "That's quite a laundry list." His emotions didn't seem to change from the moments prior to Naoko's words to after.

He turned a little to lean against the wall "The music is pretty good." The comment seemed to be genuine enough although he still hadn't said anything about the prior words yet. "So are you saying that you are wanting to start a solo career? It sounds like you're less than comfortable working with Shou." He didn't answer the question that Naoko seemed to be inquiring without saying. He waited for these answers before continuing further.

[Ryuu Minamoto]

I can no longer return to those days free of bloodshed
These deep scars rooted within me will not disappear...










"Shush. It makes me happy, to see you happy. It would be a pleasure, not a burden. Besides....I'd do anything...anything at all...for you." he whispered back.

Holding Shou through the entire two hours was wonderful. Listening to his musical laughter, smiling, lips against blond locks, as those cute little toes played with his feet.

As the movie ended, Jun gently moved his lover, lifting him up and carrying him into the bedroom like a child. It was adorable, the way Shou loved kissing so much that he did it even as he fell asleep.
Lying the smaller man down in the bed, he carefully undressed him down to his boxers and pulled the covers over him before undressing himself and sliding into the bed, pulling him close and whispering, "Aishiteru."
If Shou stayed asleep, that was fine by him. Really, he didn't need anything more than having the man there, in his arms, all night long.

Hide it, Hide it
Hide me...

How long had he been sitting here?

Ryu looked up at the clock, finding it to be nearly one in the morning. It had been hours that he had been there, curled up on the floor, spilling his tears until no more would come.
He needed answers...he needed to know what had happened, and why. He needed to know if Naoko actually wanted him dead...or...if he would finish him off eventually.

The violinist was afraid and confused, but he couldn't just sit there any longer. He had to move, do something, or he would surely go mad, envisioning Naoko's rage-filled face over and over and over as he swung at his head.

Standing up, the violinist stared at himself in the mirror for a while. He dressed himself as though he were about to take the stage, covering up with a black trench coat and a fedora.
With a sigh, he left the apartment, driving downtown to a karaoke club...but not just any karaoke club...the same one he had gone to with Naoko and Nakai when they first met.
Instead of ordering a private room or joining one of the smaller groups, he decided to go into the main room, where people were dancing and drinking, the best of the best taking the stage to sing their favorites.

Ordering a drink, he simply sat and watched for a while. He missed it....singing. He could do it again, but he hadn't. Nobody knew but Naoko. Everyone still believed his voice was no more, as far as singing was concerned.

Three drinks later, he couldn't stand it anymore. He had to let it out, all his anxieties and fears and frustrations...everything that had been building up in him. He had to sing.

Walking up to the DJ, he whispered in the man's ear, explaining what he wanted tonight. The DJ, realizing what was happening, beamed with excitement and surprise.
Taking off his coat, Ryu left it at the side of the stage, leaving on his hat as he walked out to the middle of the brightly lit platform.
He stood there, in silence, as people began to whisper, wondering who this was and what they were doing just standing there.
Pushing the brim of his hat up, the violinist revealed his eyes, a familiar crimson gaze.
A few people in the crowd gasped, one woman squealed.
The music sprang up and Ryu took his hat off and threw it into the crowd, grabbing the mic and going into one of his old hits.

I'M FALLING DOWN INTO MY SHADOW

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm falling down into my shadow
Holding my breath
The deadly night is waiting

Don't be scared
of the pumpkin carriage the witch drew
Cuz it can show in your eyes

See you in your dreams
Yeah baby, even if it's a nightmare

Fairy Blue
For you I'll smash the stars
and put them on display
Black Paper Moon
If you believe in me!
When you're lost "here"
I am... "forever" with your soul

If you look up, just like the shining moon...

A symbol rises to the top
on the card I dropped in the sweet crimson jam

Your destiny - if you wish
Any sort of world
Can be yours

Don't confuse me
No one can break me down

Fairy Blue
You gave me a reason to live
in an "eternity" of captivity
If you shout for me
I will find you, my dear!
Wherever you are
And free you from that ensnaring curse

No one believes in me
There are times when I'm degraded
Even so, your words
will always echo in my heart

Fairy Blue
For you I'll smash the stars
and arrange them into a "sign"
Whenever you lose hesitate, losing sight of your dreams
I want you to look up

Fairy Blue
You gave me a reason to live
A "faith" called captivity
You are not alone
When you're lost "here"
I am... "forever" with your soul

We can make it through, if you believe

"Ryuukaze! Ryuukaze!!!" various people screamed, everyone in the room rising to their feet, cameras flashing, people taking video with their cellphones...paparazzi making frantic phone calls to anyone and everyone trying to get the word out.
Ryuukaze was back, and, from the sound of it, better than ever. Tonight, he would be all over the news, tomorrow, he would be in the papers, in a few days and weeks, he would be in the magazines.

It was the release he needed...and, wherever it would take him, he was happy for it as the music began to fade. Perhaps Izo-san would upgrade his contract, have him record a new album now. He would still want to work with Shou and Naoko, though. They had created quite the bond in music. Both could be done, though. Many stars worked two projects at once.

The second song he had chosen cued up...something else from his past that they had on hand. He was giving an impromptu mini-concert, much to the pleasure of everyone in attendance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of this world, the end is coming
Dreams and hopes do not matter

Inside your heart, you are sleeping
but you will not wake up
Feel the hand of a future that cannot be changed

Burning for your life
This life will burn out someday, even if you try to cling to it
(for the perfect dream)
Drowning in my dream
Even if it's remembered, a dream is only a dream
You are star light

In that world, overflowing with shines
Your spirit will die out
Soon after the delivery of love by a wishing angel,
With it's hand, stopping the end of the future

Drowning for my life
Someday it will hit, this life cannot go back
(for the eX dream)
Drowning in your dream
Even if it's remembered, where will the dream continue?
I am moon light

Drowning for your life
A surprise is on the way, even if hope is held on to
(for the perfect dream)
Drowning in my dream
Even if destruction occurs, I will not run away

Drowning for my life
Never undecided, this feeling will not stop
(for the eX dream)
Drowning in your dream
A rushing companion, this will be the road of tomorrow
I am star light

With a smile, Ryu thanked the crowd and was thanked right back by the cacophony of cheers from the crowd as he stepped off the stage, having the security from the club escort him back to his car to the unceasing flashes of cameras and pleas for autographs.

Word would probably get to Izo soon, if it hadn't already, and he imagined he would be chided for such a ballsy move, performing alone in public without his own security like that...but how could the man really be angry? He had, after all, just increased his own worth tenfold.

Driving away from the club, Ryuukaze smiled to himself, laughing happily. He'd swing through somewhere and grab a burger, spoiling himself for the night with such greasy food, then maybe go for a late movie.
Whatever he could find...as long as he kept his mind off Naoko...which was easier said than done, as everything made him think of Naoko.
He hoped the blond was alright...even though he had his uncertainties as to where they stood in their relationship now. He would deal with that later, though. Tonight...tonight was for him.

Ben exited the elevator just as someone was entering. He turned as the person passed him, thinking he had seen that face before but it was hard to tell under that fedora. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind as he continued down the hall to his room.

He used the key he had gotten from the front desk and opened the door. It was a lot nicer than he had expected, a bed big enough for three people, full bathroom with shower and bath, and a great view of the city. He tossed his clothes bag onto the bed and unpacked them. He felt stupid for bringing any clothes at all as he folded and placed them into the dresser. Blue jeans, t-shirts, and some jackets, most having English labels and words on them. He hadn't brought much because he expected to create a new wardrobe from the local fashions, only bringing enough to last a few days.

He redressed into a plain white tan-top and some worn out jeans and removed his Fender Precision from it's case, pulling strap over his head and gently holding the instrument in his hands. He brought the bass guitar with him as he exited his room, sitting down just outside the door with his Fender in his lap. He was silent for a long time, just holding his guitar, but then launched into a funky bass solo. This was what he did to relax, it helped him calm down when he was upset, helped him think more clearly, and helped him adjust to a new environment. He sat there playing his Fender Precision for several hours.

While Izo was listening to the music, Naoko sat there silently.
He was quite comfortable, and while there was a bit of an edge of anxiety to his thoughts... he didn't appear worried.

"Solo?" the blond shook his head. "Maybe as a side project, but I'll always be happiest in a band. I'm not comfortable working with Shou... but as a professional, it would be career suicide to step away now, especially given the fan base."

The pianist shifted in his seat slightly, leaning to the side. "I'll deal with my problems in regards to Shou personally... Confronting him about it will probably be the wisest action, at an opportune moment, of course."

He was a bit startled by the fact that Izo had even asked him about a solo career, but Naoko had told the truth.
Being in a band... having that sort of commitment... it meant a lot to him.
But being able to produce music solo on the side... well... that didn't seem like such a bad idea.

"The more work I have, perhaps... the less I have to dwell on the things which anger me."

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Blue eyes narrowed, "No... Lucky-san isn't going to meet with Matsumoto alone any time soon. Something... something tells me I've tried to keep him away before but..."

A slight wince, and then Narcissus shook his head, quickly changing the subject.

"A star shouldn't have to look out for their manager... but I'm also a star who's close to the top of the company. I can't just let him go in there... as for Hiroki..." the musician sighed, popping a piece of sushi in his mouth. "He could probably do with a massage... I don't know enough about this takeover, mainly because I don't understand lawyer gibberish. BUT, I can tell you that Izo's trying to do it in a legit fashion. If he succeeds or not is based a lot on Hiroki... because apparently ojisan has stepped back from all things Ohayou." Akihiko couldn't help sighing again. "I told Hiroki I wanted to help... but I don't know where we stand. I just..." he shook his head. "If Izo's talking to Goshiro... that means he's trying to pull other companies into this takeover, which isn't good. Company heads don't just have dinner. I know a few times ojisan met with Izo for a meal in order to discuss contract disputes." Narcissus smirked, "It isn't rare for a star to defect from SMASH and end up at Ohayou, after all. But I haven't heard anything about a dispute lately, which means whatever they were discussing is completely under the table."

After several hours of just playing, Ben mustered up enough nerve to get up and go into the night to explore Tokyo's nightlife. He slung his Fender Precision over his shoulder and adjusted the strap so that it clung tightly to his back. He exited the hotel and saw the man in the white fedora sitting in the lobby reading a magazine and again got the feeling he'd sen the man before.

He ignored his feeling and headed out into the cool night air alone and on foot. He walked among the people unnoticed and vary few looked at him, the ones that did did so only because of he was vary obviously Gaijin. That was when he decided on a stage name for himself, Gaijin. He liked it, but he'd have to talk to his manager about it first.

He found himself standing in front of a restaurant called Luna. Or at least that's what he thought the sign read. he could speak and understand Japanese expertly, but he had some trouble reading neon signs. the people inside and the decor looked high toned and he would stick out like a sore thumb in there. And that was exactly why he decided to go in.

Matsumoto Izo
Chairman - SMASH

Mine...mine...you're mine...such pretties for me.

Izo took the words in again. The same slow draw on the cigar that seemed almost methodical as he listened then thought. "Mm....probably so...fans are the rise and fall of any star."

When Nako said he would deal problems regarding Shou personally, Izo turned his head and his body shifted to focus on Nako. "Personally? Mmm...and you think that is a wise idea? You've seem to have had a difficult time dealing with your problems lately. "

Izo tilted his head and watched Naoko waiting for the answer.

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

"I wouldn't worry about me handling the problem. He's my brother. It's not like I'd do anything to hurt him." Naoko replied, waving away Izo's comment.
He'd never hurt Sai...
Not on purpose.
Because, even though Sai had betrayed him by sleeping with Hayato... they were still brothers.
Naoko still loved his niisan...

 

[Kaikoloren]

Matsumoto Izo

"Mm...I see." he said and took the words in. He didn't seem to imply that Shou was or was not Naoko's brother. In fact, he said nothing about that matter. But his hand fiddled over the ipod for a moment before letting it go. The music still playing.

He walked over close to Naoko and looked at the younger man carefully and took another drag on his cigar. "You're really trying hard to sell your self to me." he said in a casual metered pace. "You've got this notion that I'm some ruthless animal don't you?" The question seemed flat enough but there was a slight undertone of something more in that voice.

-:{------------------------------------------------No matter the cost.
...Prepare to pay up!

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Naoko didn't bat an eyelash as Izo scanned him. "Why wouldn't I try? It's in my best interests to have someone like yourself on my side." but then he paused, giving the man's next question some thought.
Dangerous ground indeed...
"You're a business man. What's bad for business is bad for you, and what's good for business... well... you want to profit from everything, even losses. So I'd say 'ruthless' yes... but 'animal'? Hardly." the blond replied, thinking he had explained himself well enough. "You do what you can to stay ahead of the game. Survival of the fittest, ne?"

 

[Kaikoloren]

What I want, I get...
No matter the method------------------------------------------------}:-

Matsumoto Izo
Chairman - SMASH

Mine...mine...you're mine...such pretties for me.

"Yes, I am a business man...Naoko. And that is the difference between you and I." his voice hinted at the edge of an emotion. "What is bad for business is bad for me."

His free fingers reached down and brushed Naoko's cheek. They smelled of cigars and were tinged on the tips with the grey of many smoke filled rooms. "So...lets talk for a moment. You said you've harbored all these feeling and took them out on one of Ohayou's own...a young star that was just brighting on the horizon?"

-:{------------------------------------------------No matter the cost.
...Prepare to pay up!

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

It took a lot of willpower for Naoko to not turn his head away as Izo was talking to him.
Not because of the smell of cigars, since the blond himself smoked... but because of the simple touch.
This man was dangerous... and Naoko was playing a very dangerous game...

"I did." the blond replied. "Chiyou called me... wanted to go out for a while... so I went with him. He was so damn happy... it pissed me off... and then when we went back to his place he had the stupidity to turn on the tv and I saw... saw Shou and Hayato having dinner together at Luna. I couldn't take it... I... I don't remember what Chiyou said that set me off but..." he took a deep breath. "I was going to kill him... but I think... because I know him... I let him live..."

 

[Kaikoloren]

Matsumoto Izo

It was as if the business man could feel Naoko's discomfort and with that a slight smile formed upon his cracked lips. Then, he leaned down and looked Naoko straight in the eye, "Does he know it was you?"
