Ryu left him.
Truly left him...
That notion hit Naoko hard. He sat there, kneeling beside the empty chair, completely in shock for the first few moments after the door had closed.
He had lost what should have been most precious... twice now.
Blinking, trying to steady himself, that initial instinct to just throw everything away hit first. Amber eyes glanced at the window and for just a moment, the blond wondered if he'd survive a fall from five stories...
After all, what point was there anymore? Jun loved Sai and vice versa. Jun was giving Sai and Naoko both up in order to save them. Naoko loved Ryu, but Ryu no longer wanted to deal with the pianist's problems.
"What have I done?..." Naoko whispered, looking down at his hands in his lap.
It wasn't his fault.
He couldn't control it any more than he could control the changing seasons.
Without the medication, it just happened.
In the blink of an eye he turned into a murderous monster...
Wouldn't Ryu be right to leave?
To run away from such a horrific beast?
'I only became this because I lost everything...' the pianist thought to himself angrily. 'I couldn't stand seeing Ryu's blood on my hands... to see his head caving in by my hand... to feel that cold body in my arms...'
Amber eyes closed, and just before Naoko felt his spirit sink too far... he heard that familiar voice once more...
"Last chance, Naoko...but if you screw this up...you'll never see me again, do you understand?"
Amber eyes turned to the figure in the doorway and Naoko couldn't help but smile sadly, choking back a sob that threatened to overtake him.
"Ryu-kun... ha... hai." he nodded, agreeing with those terms. "I love you... I don't want to lose you..."

Carefully, Naoko wrapped his arms around Ryu's neck, wincing just a tiny bit in the process.
"Just once more..." the blond whispered, gently kissing the violinist's lips.
It wasn't full of passion, but the kiss was sweet... kind... full of a different type of love than that which burned hot in the veins.
Even the pianist knew that sleeping with anyone else... it just wasn't the same.
His heart wasn't in it like it was when the arms embracing him were those of his beloved akuma.
Nakai thought over this for a moment. He was trying to decide on a good restaurant with those items.
"Damn I hope you've got one in mind. Makes me kind of want curry..." the guitarist replied.
Finding a good Japanese curry with those ingredients would be easy. But the blond didn't know if that was the sort of food that would really appease the vocalist's cravings.
"It'd have a lot of vegetables, which would really be good for you. We can go light on the rice to make it even healthier if you want." Kai was saying, still trying to come up with the perfect place to eat.
It'd been forever since he'd had Japanese curry...
Smiling gently at the end of the kiss, Akihiko shook his head. "No... I suppose it doesn't sound like me, does it?" the man asked, his soft smile remaining. "I don't doubt I can catch up... but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the view from behind for just a little while... ne?"
It was a simple question, yet it also ended in a tease. Unable to stop the strange happy sensation flooding through his body, Narcissus sighed and laid down on the bed beside Izzy, laying on his back and staring up at the ceiling above them.
"What would the world say if they knew we were together?" the musician mused, his left hand catching Izzy's right in it's grasp as they simply lay there. "It would alienate so many of my fans... they'd be really jealous of you, Ruki... but... hiding it seems like such a pain... why should I care what they think?" Turning his head slightly, Akihiko's blue gaze took hold of Izzy's own eyes. "I bet you thought I suggested us to run away so we could sleep together, didn't you?" he asked before laughing softly. "Not that it isn't tempting... to be honest, Ruki... I just wanted YOU. Right here beside me."
It was honest.
The truth of how Akihiko felt right now.
He would have LOVED to make love to the man beside him, but in all actuality... the musician just wanted to hold Izzy and cherish the fact that his manager was alive.
Though some might see that as cold or self centered or hell maybe even as avoidance... the fact that Akihiko wasn't acting like a horny bunny was probably the biggest compliment that Izzy could have received.
It meant one simple thing...
That Akihiko was completely at ease with Izzy Lucky.

What a shock, it was so surprising,
You looked so small and frail------------------------------------------------}:- 
Izzy Lucky
At times life can be so enlightening .uoy no nrut nac ti tuB
"Well, I didn't go into your bedroom that much. We weren't communicating that well at the time so...I never felt like I could enjoy it." he looked away for a moment. He didn't want to remember those times but all those events helped him to grow into what he was today.
But then he turned his head back towards Akihiko and felt the nuzzle of that forehead. Ruki nuzzled back feeling connected once again. "Oh, you'd manage. And well you did say your fans like BL so maybe they wouldn't mind too much. I could be a prop on stage for you." Ruki then giggled under his breath because he knew every word he had said was completely idiotic but fun all the same.
"I know...but if I let you hold me all the time, your horns would always be poking me! Especially if you nuzzled me with your forehead." he teased then tweaked one of Akihiko's ears with his finger tips. He obviously wasn't serious but very relaxed. Maybe the first time in a long time he had been so relaxed with Akihiko. They had so much catching up to do. Actually, he kind of hoped things would go slowly for them so they could reexplore each other's worlds. Even though, having such a sexy man so close was so very tempting. No, he wouldn't rush.
And Ruki liked this new state of Akihiko; that protecting angel was a gentle change that he'd was starting to love sharing moments with in the privacy of their own world. "Mm...so do you like my room? I lived here for a few years in my youth. I love this space. I always feel at home when I'm here." He took in a slow breath and let it out then glanced around his safe comfortable room. Things were perfect right now...he wanted that feeling to last forever. However, he couldn't let himself be blinded by the sweet fantasies that invaded his head.
Then he posed a few question that stuck in his head, "Do you think this will work out? You and I? Between work and everything? My Aunt and Shou-san both stressed how much work it would take to get a singing career off the ground. And well you've got to be thinking of a world tour soon. But I can't even imagine Nezumi-san as your full time manager." He sighed and snuggled closer. Ruki's eyes closed and he took in the scent of Akihiko. He wanted...wanted to find these arms every day around him. He could work all that out somehow...couldn't he?

Peace and quiet... for both of these two musicians, it was a rare opportunity to simply relax.
So Naoko didn't say a word. He left Ryu hold him, let the only sound they heard be the pelting of rain outside...
For a long time, they stayed like that, probably close to a couple of hours at the least.
But eventually, the blond spoke. "Ryu-kun... lets go home, ne?" Naoko asked softly.
After all, at this point it was a few broken bones, and those were already in casts. His wrist had been operated on, but it was wrapped and would be healing quickly thanks to the antibiotics he'd been prescribed.
Getting the 'ok' from a doctor would be rather easy.
"Tomorrow I'll have to tell Yamada-san, but right now, I just want to get some sleep with you. Maybe in front of a nice cozy warm fire?" he asked, amber eyes looking up at his akuma. "We could watch a movie... just relax..."
That... had been highly unexpected.
At first, Nakai thought he'd upset Chiyou, but then the sudden explosion of excitement just threw the guitarist off balance and he couldn't help but start laughing.
"Yare yare... calm down, Hi-chan. We can get whatever type of curry your in the mood for." Kai laughed, a hand on the 'kid's' head. "Geez... who knew curry would get you so excited? Maybe I'll have to make curry for you sometime, ne?" he asked with a smile.
Akihiko couldn't help but laugh, "So you'd be my fan service prop, ne?" he asked, smiling at the thought. "You could sing backup for me... I could feel you up on stage... maybe get just centimeters from kissing you to tease all my fans..." his laughter was soft as he mused over the idea. "I think you'd melt. A puddle of Izzy right there on the stage. I don't think Yammi would want to mop you up." the musician teased, his fingers moving from Izzy's hand then re-grasping it, playing with the other man's fingers idly.
He winced mockingly when Izzy tweaked one of his ears. "Hey, no fair. And here I'm being so nice too..." he joked with a half smile, moving his head as if to get in a more comfortable position.
It was so damn nice... just being.
No pretense, no mask, no ulterior motives...
Just two men who deeply cared for one another... simply being.
The only thing that could possibly make this any better would be a roaring fireplace, maybe some hot tea, and being snowed in.
Now THAT was a romantic weekend that Akihiko could easily enjoy.
"You know... I never got to see you in a swimsuit..." the musician said with a frown. "Good thing I have a pool at home. And now that you're quite tan... mmm... might be fun to have a swim just the two of us."
But then Izzy was asking him questions in regard to the room, and thus the young Koyasu had to tear his blue gaze away from the man who lay next to him and actually start looking around a bit. He couldn't help but smile slightly as his eyes took in the tones and the modern feel of everything.
"It really reminds me of my place. A little more modern in design... but the color schemes are nice and comforting, nothing too drastic." Akihiko couldn't help but glance back at Izzy. "You need a waterfall to make it just a bit earthier." he said with a smirk. "Why don't we hire someone to do your apartment in Japan like this? It'd probably only take a few days, and you can stay at my place til it's done. I know your new apartment probably isn't the homiest place in the world... we should change that. I..."
But then here came the question that somehow, neither of them could really get away from.
Akihiko put both of his arms around Izzy now, just holding the man close and letting him take comfort in the presence.
"What if..." Narcissus bit his lip, the mask within at war with the true man's soul. "What if I took some time off... helped you and Michi get your careers off the ground. Just did a little bit here and there. I..." blue eyes closed as he forced the feelings of desperately wanting to be the center of attention, of wanting to be performing his heart out, into the depths of his soul. "Ojisan wants me to learn more of the business side of things and... that might help me getting a better understanding of it all. Hiroki's going to manage Michi and... well... you'll need someone as your manager, or at least to help you out. I... I could..." it hurt to say it, to really put Izzy before himself for once.
But what could he do?
Akihiko loved this man, really did. He'd nearly fallen to pieces thinking Izzy Lucky dead. Would he really throw that away for another number one title?
To throw it away for fame and recognition?
"I could just stop singing for a while. Just blend into the background of music while the two of you found your wings. I mean, then there's Nakai to consider... and Chiyou-kun will need a new manager. I'm sure Yuuji will probably be assigned to you and maybe Nakai because he won't have me to deal with anymore but... I'm sure ojisan could work it all out, Ruki."
Yuuji was engrossed in a conversation with Aki, but when Hiroki answered, he gave the megane-clad man his attention.
"Romance is fine once in a while, Hiroki." the man spoke with a smile.
Aki nodded, "It's true. Besides, don't they deserve a little time together before being thrust into the spotlight again?" the chairman reasoned as he headed back toward the limos.
After all, he'd be able to speak with Crystal Ishi at the party, and no doubt afterwards as well.
"I think we'll let Shou-san arrive as part of Ishi-san's entourage. After all, she was the one who did all the work getting them stateside." Yuuji spoke, poking on his phone as he talked. "Stealing her thunder here would be unwise. PLUS it's her place that I'm sure Akihiko is at right now... which means we need to all be nice or she's libel to let my cousin stay there as long as he wants... or kick him. I think it would depend on how he reflects on her at the moment... which probably isn't favorably at any rate." Takagi sighed, pocketing his phone and carefully redirecting the group, Michi included, back toward the limos. "So yes, I know where he is. After all, he has his cell phone."
In other words, Yuuji could track him quite easily.

"A fan service prop....Oh..my Nooooo! Maybe we shouldn't go that far! Yammi would end up smoking more than two packs on stage if you did that! No..no...nuuuuu. I think maybe we should reconsider that idea." Ruki fretted and then decided that it was better NOT to be held by Akihiko all the time.
Izzy would have liked the crackling fire and many days alone in some romantic place that was not Hawaii. Nothing to do, no one to bug them...no work...no phones. Just the two of them having a few days in the quiet.
"I'm too tan!" he frowned matching Akihiko's, "My swimsuit? Oh ...ah... well...mm...I probably have one here but I lost the one from the trip."
"Ah...I might sleep better with a small waterfall. I sleep good in your guest room." he answered them smiled as he thought about it. "Well, mm...my apartment in Japan might not be the right size for this room but I do miss this bed...and these things here. No...my new apartment hasn't become home like yet." With that he sighed not sure what to think. "Maybe it would be a good idea to hire someone."
The next questions had worried Izzy some but the arms enveloping him helped him calm. As he listened, he knew it was a struggle for Akihiko to say the words he was saying. And...would those things that he mentioned even work? That was a good question. "Can you...really take time off now that you have a new album? You've got to think about going to Europe and the US to tour too. All big tasks for you to accomplish. Would..this work for you?"
He paused for a moment so the words could sink in, "I know they've been trying to get you to learn about the business but...is that what you want to do? I don't want you to resent things later, Akihiko. I want you to fulfill your dreams too." No matter how much Izzy wanted to pursue this new found joy, he still thought of his star. He couldn't tear the man from his own deep desires.
Reaching over, Izzy stroked his fingers through Akihiko's hair and then brushed his cheek. "It's hard on you to think that way...isn't it. You're never going to be a behind the scenes person, Akihiko. Narcissus...you...could not live like that. No matter how much you love me, you can't stop singing. It's in your soul. I don't want you to ever feel like I took away that which makes you thrive. I love you so much Akihiko but I could never take away those things that make you so happy."

"I've always liked sweet curry. With a little coconut milk in it. Over noodles....or...over rice....or...plain....mmmm....sweet, sweet curry!" Hideki kept giggling as he got up and stumbled over to his closet sifting through for clothes.
A pair of brown jeans and a black shirt that didn't match were what he came up with.
Unfortunately, the kid thought he'd put on black jeans...
"You can make me curry whenever you like, Kai-bear. You know I love it when you cook for me. Maybe...maybe one day I'll be able to cook something for you..." his smile faded slightly. Obviously, the young blond felt badly that he was always being taken care of...but he never had the ability to do for the one who always did for him.
karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi
guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru
 ~( Lonely ) Mayotta nara~
~( Try again ) Nando datte~
~Yarinaosu koto dekiru kara~
He'd become so comfortable that he'd nearly fallen asleep, but when he heard Naoko's voice, his scarlet eyes slowly drifted open and focused on the blond.
"You're right...we should get out of here..." he agreed softly, hitting the call button and telling the nurse that he'd like the pianist's discharge prepared.
Within moments the doctor arrived with prescriptions in hand and went over the home instructions, then let them go on their way.
Not much was said on the ride home. Ryu chose to just let Naoko relax. He needed to relax. Both of them did.
Still...the violinist couldn't help but be concerned about the decision he'd made. The possibility of this going horribly wrong was high...but it was a damned-if-you-do setup....so whatever. At least he knew he was trying to do right by his lover.
They'd both been screwing up a lot lately, it seemed.
Getting Naoko into the house was a task as Ryu tried to protect his cast from the pelting rain. By the time they reached the door, they were both laughing at the awkwardness of it all.
At least there was still some happiness left in them. For that, he was eternally grateful.
~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~
~( Believe me ) Osorenai de~
~Shinjiau koto....~
~FOR YOU~
"Mm...yes. We'd better be prepared for the party..." Nezumi noted, looking himself over and thinking he'd probably be passable for the occasion in what he had on...if he threw on his other suit jacket.
Quietly he listened to Hiroki and Takagi speak, taking note of the situation as he pondered just where in the hell his career was going to go with all the quick changes and unexpected twists that kept coming lately. Would he remain as manager of Narcissus? Unlikely, if Lucky had any say in it...but Izzy Lucky...seemed to have more than just managing on his plate now...
Ah...to hell with it. He'd figure it out when things calmed down. One step at a time.
While he was worried over this and that...he couldn't help but catch what Hiroki had tried to say under his breath.
With a little, mouselike grin, he whispered in the man's ear as he passed him to get into the limo, "Sometimes being like teenagers is good. It's good for the heart and soul of people in love..."
Such a soft spoken comment was actually a bold move for the mousy manager. As he slipped into his seat, he glanced at the elephant with eyes that simply dared him to try it sometime....he wanted him to.
Badly.

(((OOC: I swear to everything holy in this world I will post tomorrow. I've been on a cleaning schedule and since it's the weekend I finally get a break (the laundry was horrendous!). Plus I was doing a bio for someone who wanted me in their guild (that took a couple hours) and then another hour, hour and a half, was spent doing the proofreading for eps 23 and 24 of Starry Sky for SMS subs... and another hour spent watching tonight's new ep of Torchwood! So I threw a short quick post up to another RP and decided to call it a night (my thumb's really hurting, like the joint, so typing takes a while). But I'll post for Yuuji (who will interact with Michi in the other limo), Koy, Naoko (btw that bit about the cast and rain cracked me up!), and Kai all tomorrow. And I'm not talking like late tomorrow night. I plan to be online early tomorrow evening, like 5 or so if I can help it. I need a break from running all over the world... (took 2 dogs to the groomer today, that alone was like 2 hours in driving and picking up/dropping off). Plus last night I was up at 5:00am (after going to sleep at 3:30am) cause all the dogs were up cause my dad had an allergic reaction to his medicine and he was all red (but okay) and so I slept til 8am then took the dogs at 9am then came home and went back to sleep til freakin' 2pm!!! Then had to go get the dogs at 4pm... help make dinner... clean the kitchen... So needless to say, today was insane. -sighs- Yes... I need a break this weekend. POSTING FOR ALL!!!)))
