Dirty Little Secrets------------------------------------------------}:-  Yamada Haru
It's the Devil in the Details...
......What a tangled web we weave......
"I do..but I have good reason to." Haru answered as You lead him out of the bedroom. "Hah! You know I should already have one because I can add Shou on top of that pile of worry." He squeezed You's hand and smiled at the man's back thinking how he'd do almost anything to keep You from harms way.
"I do trust you....But, I don't trust Matsumoto-san....and I love you so I can't help but want to protect you. Even if you say you don't need it." He reached up and touched one of the hands on his shoulders and squeezed gently.
Haru tilted his head as his nose was kissed. Today, he felt like almost the wife side of this relationship but that had to be the stress. He wasn't always like this but lately there was so much going on. He had to keep on top of Izo's movements and this child threw a wrench into his plans. Money he should have been investing elsewhere was being put into this child's protection.
Although, he couldn't say it wasn't worth it. "Cute? I'm cute now?" He reached forward and pinched You's butt. "I should be saying that to you! " God he really was acting too much like a wife lately! "Ok, let's go. I need a beer..."

"No one trusts Matsumoto-san." Ishihara said honestly.
Which, well was the truth. Even the shark didn't trust the spider. He wondered, for a fleeting moment, if Azriel trusted Izo...
Because in this crazy insane game... he'd be the only one who just might.
Once outside, You glanced to Haru. "Do you want to drive? I mean, you know where the place is and all." he ventured before laughing. "Of COURSE you're cute and... HEY!" he couldn't help but jump when his a** was pinched. "Beer yes. Cute no. I'm never cute!" the man teased. "Besides, you were the one who fell asleep working with your glasses askew. How is THAT not cute?"

"A flat pan? Flat? OK...but how to the Pancakes get tall in a flat pan?" he asked naively as he looked over the 6 on the counter and chose a flat griddle pan. "Ok now....butter?"
Walking over to the frig he pulled out a brick of butter and started slicing off chunks and putting them on the griddle. The he turned on the heat to high.
Ko kept mixing until his small arms were tired but he kept going because he wanted them to be really good pancakes. "Purple batter!" then he said with a small bit of surprise I am?" A little smile formed on his face as he glanced behind him at Shou, who was watching and nodding in agreement.
But then Narcissus spoke of something that caused Ko to stiffened....as he listened. Son...missing.....Takagi? That....name... Ko stared at the purple batter and started to shake. Shou noticed sudden change and walked over quickly putting his arms around Ko. The action caused Ko to become shock still...
Shou said softly, "Ko-kun....it's ok. I'm sorry, Naricissus probably didn't realize you could hear what he was saying. Those are very scary things aren't they. Shh....Shh....I promised I'll protect you with my life, Ko-kun. You'll never have to worry about the bad people again. I'm your Uncle...and there is nothing on this earth that could keep me from your side"
Ko relaxed alittle as Shou kissed the top of his small blond head, "Promise...you won't send me away?"
Shou sighed and squeezed, "Never...."
Ko glanced back at Shou but then peeked over Shou's shoulder, "ABUNAI!!" And suddenly was tearing away from Shou to turn off the griddle.
Shou turned and said, "Oops...Umm..Narcissus...give us a few moments...I burned the...butter." He hurried over and took the griddle to the sink. Several minutes later, he sighed and looked down at Ko with a tender smile. "Maybe you should be the cook in this family."
Patting Ko's head, he then let the boy put fresh butter pads on the griddle while he picked up the phone and spoke with Narcissus off the mic. Walking a little further way, "Gomen, Ko has had it rough and I think what you said scared him. But umm....Ryuukaze-san is working on a new album.. I think. I don't know. Well mm...Naoko-kun well, Ko seems happy that Naoko-kun is here. Mm...." he looked thoughtful. "Ko plays piano....so there are things in common. But of course, he and Ryuukaze-san, well you know yes. they are still together. Mm...how's Lucky-san??"

Haru didn't comment about trust but You was right...so right.
"Sure...I'll drive." he said as he popped the door with his key then climbed in and waited for You. He grinned having gotten away with pinching that squeezable butt. "Yes you are cute. Amazingly so. And I can't wait to put you in pink stockings." He grins broadly as he started the car and pulled out.
"I'm so less cute than you. I've only got the classes to work with. You've got that sweet blush on those cheeks and soft lips. And that innocent smile when you sleep or the squeak you make when...Mmm...never mind we might not make it to the restaurant if I start going down that road."
He shut up and got on the highway over ramp that scooted them around just past the train station then back down to the ground before going through several streets finally getting parking in garage in Sunshine City. They were in Ikebukoro and the lights of all the adverts over the buildings were in full glow.
Haru pointed to a place and then they went up several stairs until they reached the 3rd floor. Once there, they found a well established Shabu Shabu restaurant with several TVs. "Mmm..we may need to ask for a booth so you can watch." He said as he glanced back at You. "You pick where you want us to sit." he said with a smile.

"Gomen, I... I guess I didn't think about it. Poor kid..." Narcissus spoke, having heard the boy's reaction from the phone.
It was... painful.
Painful to think that a child could be treated so badly...
Painful to remember...
While Shou was correcting his butter mistake, Akihiko sat there, staring into the fire's flames as visions of his sister danced before his eyes.
With a sigh, the musician smiled, bringing his mind back to the conversation. "Well if your nephew ever needs to hide from your insanity, he'll be welcome with Izzy and I." Akihiko teased, knowing that sometimes, Shou was a little overboard. "But um... he's okay. I'm trying to get him to relax a little. Between you and I, Ohayou and MeKA both have us under house arrest while this business with Hiroki's sister is taken care of. We... don't think it was an accident."
Why was he telling Shou this?
What right did the man have to know?
Then again...
Sure, he was a rival but...
Somehow...
Narcissus knew that this brilliant man wouldn't let a secret slip so easily.
And in the past, Shou had shown obvious signs of distaste on his part of Matsumoto Izo.
"Right now Izzy's ordering pizzas and trying to get a selection of beers. I've been fixing a firepit in the backyard so we're just going to have a nice quiet evening of... well being drunk."
'And hopefully one thing will lead to another...' he thought with a mental sigh.
Smirking, Narcissus glanced at the back door. "So tell me... how exactly did you burn butter? Don't have the stove on too high, Shou-san. You want the butter to melt, not to turn brown."
"I am not wearing pink stockings!" You replied, blushing at the mere thought of it. "Honestly! You've gotten almost as bad as your star, wanting me to dress in odd things..." he shook his head, acting as if he were ignoring his partner.
But Haru was making him blush and both men knew it.
"You've got more than glasses working for you, Haru-kun." You returned, glancing at the driver. "The way you tap your fingers on the steering wheel... how you brush your hair back to keep it out of your right eye... that little pout you get when something happens that wasn't perfectly according to plan..." Ishihara couldn't help but lick his suddenly dry lips at the thought. "You've got the most gorgeous fingers... Haru-kun..."
But then thankfully they were in the parking garage and Ishihara got out of the car before he could get any more aroused by thinking of Yamada's 'cute' points...
Up the stairs and into the restaurant, You asked the waiter for a booth with a good view of the televisions, and a drink menu. The man lead them over to a corner where they were practically out of view of everyone, but had an excellent vantage point to watch the televisions from.
Sitting down, You quickly ordered a bottle of Haramo Vintage wine and two glasses. The wine itself would be quite rich with some peachy melon notes to make it very appealing to the palette.
"It's nice, you know... to finally be having dinner together properly." Ishihara spoke, as the waiter also turned the television to the station which would soon be airing Azriel's concert.

"Mm...yeah. He's had some...bad times before he arrived here. I...I don't really understand it all. When Hamu brought him to me...and told me my sister left him here. Ko was so scared. Having children, well it's not my thing, Narcissus, but I'll do it. And I'll be good at it because Ko needs me to be good at it." said the vocalist with a slightly overwhelmed but determined voice.
But then, he said with a slight smile, "Oh? So you like children? I never though you were the type." He had a feeling Narcissus had about as much experience with children as he had - Zero.
"Hmm...hearing that worries me, Narcissus. You don't think it was an accident? Are you safe? I've been...worried about a few things myself. But..." Shou's brow furrowed as he watched Ko put the pan on the griddle.
"Oh...Ok...Ko, time for me to do this part. No gas stove for you yet. You're not old enough." Shou said as he walked over and grabbed the pancake bowl.
"I...well..mm..I had the burner on High...uh..you told me to get the butter hot and melted. Umm..what should I set it on?"
Ko looked up at Shou, "Medium." And with that Shou laughed, "Maybe Ko is better in the kitchen than me. I think he might have your cooking skills in him, Narcissus. He reminds me of a little you only not so...troublesome." If only Shou would have known how close that correlation really was.
So Ko grabbed a cup as Shou put the heat on medium, then dipped it into the batter and waited until the butter melted before pouring the pancake into a round circle on the griddle. "I want a big pancake." said Ko as he smiled at its size.
Shou laughed and looked down at the pancake. "Narcissus...the first one is on the griddle, how long does it cook?"
-------------------
Meanwhile, inside Izzy's Family home, Izzy ordered the pizzas and coordinated with the driver to get, marshmallows, gram crackers, chocolate and beer - Japanese and American after Michi's entrance. Going back into the kitchen, Izzy and Michi looked for the grated cheese, plates and other items they'd need for the pizza, plus a trash can for waste goods and recycles. It was taking them a little while to get everything together. Then even before they went back outside, Izzy filled a cooler with Ice and threw in some sodas and bottled waters. No one needed to have a hang over in the morning.
Michi started lugging everything outside as Izzy checked his email once before leaving. He didn't know if Koyasu Aki would answer any time soon, but he was going to keep checking. If nothing was there, he'd go outside.
Michi dragged the cooler out back and saw Akihiko on the phone. "Hey, we're bringing out stuff now. The fire ready? Who ya talking to? Everything ok?"

Haru kept his eyes on the road but he could hear You licking his lips. It was terrible not being able to just lean over right there and then to steal a kiss. But, he didn't want to die in a car accident and become the next Darwin award. "You're an evil tease you know it...don't you? Still, the pink stockings would match your coloring. And NO I'm not anything like Shou. If I were Shou I'd dress you up in a ballerina costume with those pink stockings and put you in toe shoes to boot!"
When they sat down in the booth, Haru's shoulders relaxed and he smiled at You as he took a drink of the Ice water in the glass close by. "It's been ages since you and I have had any opportunity to be together like this. We've both been working,eating, sleeping for weeks. Those little good morning good bye kisses...I look forward to them every day but this weekend I look forward to reconnecting and sleeping in."
As he spoke, he heard the sounds of cheers as the lights flicked on the big LCDs above. "I think Smash's newest rising star is about to take the stage. Azriel-san seems...a little strange to say the least. Well, his stage show is strange. I've not met him in person yet, but I've heard his practice session in the Studio. He has a very talented voice."

The sounds of the crowd were getting louder and louder as 'Sa Bir' was being played in the background.
The lights faded in and out, giving off a wispy haunted look to the stage as smoke machines added to the fog, draping everything in a shadowed darkness. Anticipation was high as eyes scanned the area, wondering where where Azriel might appear from.
After all, he'd never come from the same spot twice during the entire tour...
As the song ended and the new one began, Azriel's voice flooded the arena, but he wasn't anywhere to be found...
All that could be seen was a lithe woman dressed in white, standing on the stage with a look of absolute horror on her face...
Until your distress sleeps,
Fill me up with your grief.
Until your distress sleeps...
Until your distress sleeps,
Fill me up with your grief.
Until your distress sleeps...
Suddenly, as if the darkness itself bore him from it's womb, Azriel was standing at the woman's side. Dressed from head to toe in a gorgeous Victorian suit, complete with flowing Victorian feathered cape, the man's mere appearance caused screams to erupt from the crowd. His make-up was stark white except for the slashes of black over his eyes the resembled thin diamonds that stretches from nearly the forehead to almost his chin. His lips were blood red... and his black eyes were on the woman alone.
One leather gloved hand reached out, grabbing the woman's hand and lifting it almost to his lips...
Hello, dear my bride. What are you looking at?
Hello, dear my bride. 何を見ているの？
Hello, dear my bride. Nani wo mite iru no?
Instead of kissing that hand however, Azriel's other hand grasped her arm roughly and pulled the woman close. The hand which had held hers released and grasped the back of her head, yanking her hair and pulling her head back, fully exposing her soft neck.
With your eyes you weren't even able to find the butterfly that fell on the floor
床に散った蝶も拾えぬその目で
Yuka ni chitta chou mo hiroenu sono made
Azriel's tongue snaked up the woman's neck before he released her, the woman collapsing to the floor as if having fainted. Meanwhile, Azriel reached his gloved hands up, fingers tangling in his hair as if in mortal pain. His knees buckled as his body seemed to be screaming up at the darkness.
What I want to forget is the pain that is much too white
忘れたいのは白過ぎた苦痛
Wasuretai no wa shiro sugita kutsuu
He dropped to his knees, hovering over the woman upon the floor and leaning down as if to kiss her... but instead Azriel pulled himself to his feet, gaze locked on the woman who was just now 'waking' and beginning to sit up under her own power. She reached out to him, as if to ask his help...
And though you tell me you believe in me the wound won't vanish
信じてると言い聞かす傷は消えない
Shinjiteru to iikikasu kizu wa kienai
Azriel grasped the woman's hand and jerked her to her feet, pulling her in close before spinning the woman away from him. She seemed to be dizzy, but then Azriel was at her side one more, gently taking the woman into his arms and wiping away her fearful tears. He took her hand in his own, lifting it to his lips before placing a soft kiss upon her white glove.
A glove that now held a blood red lipstick imprint...
Dancing, dancing and dancing
to make you fall asleep - unstoppable tears
Killing my voice I let my lips drop onto your weakly shivering hand
踊る踊る眠らせてと踊る
止まぬ涙
声を殺し弱く震える手に
唇を落とす
odoru odoru nemurasete to odoru
yamanu namida
koe wo koroshi yowaku furuerutai
kuchibiru wo otosu
The woman's eyes fluttered as Azriel sang, but then she looked up in terror as the darkness of the stage suddenly lit up as if they were within the midst of an inferno.
The backup musicians could easily be seen now, playing away, their faces obscured by masks of sheer horror. Demons and dark denizens of the night cast horrific shadows upon the walls from the 'fire'. Those shadows began to move forward, as if soon to overtake the couple standing in the midst of the flames.
Hello, dear my bride. Burning at my feet
I need the buzzing in my ears to get closer
Hello, dear my bride. 足下を焼く
耳鳴りにもう近付く必要など
Hello, dear my bride. Ashimoto wo yaku
Miminari ni mou chikazuku hitsuyou nado
Dark eyes looked up to see the shadow of a swinging pendulum and the smile of insanity that crept upon Azriel's face as he sang was enough to have frightened anyone watching. The demonic shadows danced round and round, faster and faster as Azriel pushed the woman in white away from him and reached beneath the cloak he wore, brandishing forth a saber. The stage lights glinted maliciously from the blade. The woman looked upon him in terror, tripping on her dress and falling to the stage floor.
The breath I spit out in unconsciousness runs along my skin
And I smile at the reticently swaying blade…
What I want to forget is the pain that is much too white
And though you tell me you believe in me the wound won't vanish
無意識に吐いた息が肌を沿う
寡黙揺らす刃に笑みを…
忘れたいのは白過ぎた苦痛
信じてると言い聞かす傷は消えない
muishiki ni haita iki ga hada wo sou
kamoku yurasu yaiba ni emi wo...
wasuretai no wa shiro sugita kutsuu
shinjiteru to iikikasu kizu wa kienai
Azriel twirled the blade in his hand as he advanced on the woman. She shrunk back in fear, scrambling on her hands backwards across the stage until she was in the very middle. Tricks of the light caused her face to morph into phantasmagorical images... one moment a spirit... another a demon... and finally a near reflection of Azriel's own face. For a moment, Azriel stopped his advance and looked upon the woman with anguish and confusion as she appeared to be a mirror image of he himself.
In my reduced dreams a reality is reflected that doesn't wake up and if even the grief
answered me that this was your true face
I'd even be okay with getting hurt
痩せた夢に覚めぬ現実が映る
悲しみさえ
素顔だよと答えてくれるなら
傷付いてもいい
yaseta yume ni samenu genjitsu ga utsuru
kanashimi sae
sugao da to kotaete kureru nara
kizutsuitemo ii
But then, Azriel smirked wickedly, raising the saber above his head. He paused, glaring viciously down at the helpless woman. And as his voice said that one simple word [oyasumi], his blade 'plunged' through her head, killing her instantly.
Don't forget that I was attracted by you
because you knew about pain
I say good-nigt to you right here
忘れないで
痛みを知るアナタに惹かれた事
此処 「でおやすみ」
wasurenaide
itami wo shiru anata ni hikareta koto
kokode "oyasumi"
Overtaken by his own madness, Azriel began to twirl around the stage as he sang. He danced, taking the murdered woman into his arms as he twirled. All the while the woman once in white had a dark stain of blood seeping around her body, staining that white dress crimson and dripping from her twirling form. But still Azriel danced, his face turned upward to the ceiling with a look of pure joy... and insanity. The demonic shadows began to spin faster, dancing still. Faster and faster and faster they spun until it was as if Azriel and the woman were encased in a vortex of fire and shadow.
Dancing, dancing and dancing
to make you fall asleep - unstoppable tears
Every time we close up our hearts saying nothing's wrong we're about to wither
In my reduced dreams I sing "Once more" and if even the grief told me that this was myself
I'd even be okay with getting hurt
踊る踊る眠れるまで踊る
止まぬ涙
何も無いと心を塞ぐ度
枯れそうだと
痩せた夢に「もう一度」を歌う
悲しみさえ
自分だよと答えてくれるなら
傷付いてもいい…
odoru odoru nemureru made odoru
yamanu namida
nanimo nai to kokoro wo fusagu tabi
karesou da to
yaseta yume ni "mou ichido" wo utau
kanashimi sae
jibun da yo to kotaeta kureru nara
kizutsuitemo ii...
The shadows stopped dancing at the same moment that Azriel stopped. He looked down at the woman in his arms.
Until your distress sleeps,
Fill me up with your grief.
Until your distress sleeps...
Insanity that had been so prevalent before calmed and Azriel reached one gloved hand out, smoothing back the woman's hair as she remained limp and unresponsive in his arms.
In the dream that has to end,
終わる筈の夢に,
Owaru hazu no yume ni,
Azriel appeared suddenly to be grieving the loss of this woman whom he had killed by his own hands. He held her gently, falling to his knees on the stage with the woman in his arms.
All the while the demon shadows grew stronger, larger, the fire subsiding in the presence of such an evil force.
Until your distress sleeps,
Fill me up with your grief.
Until your distress sleeps...
Amazed, a light sprang from the woman's body and began to float upwards toward the ceiling. Azriel reached out for the light from where he knelt, trying to grab it. But suddenly the light winked out of existence, and just as he sang those last words, the demonic shadows grew too great... and swallowed not only the woman's corpse, but Azriel as well...
Good-bye is blooming
さよならが咲いてる
Sayonara ga saiteru
 (((OOC: Credits: Sa Bir = Dir en Grey (instrumental track) DISTRESS AND COMA = the GazettE (song sung) )))
"First person who dresses me like a ballerina gets a free diving pass with Lette." Ishihara teased as the waiter returned with the wine and poured both men a glass. "But yes... I'm looking forward to sleeping in... a lot... with YOU as my pillow." You laughed softly.
Not long later, Azriel's concert began... and while You was distracted watching the opening number, he downed half a glass of wine.
"You're in charge of ordering tonight." he joked before sighing and glancing at the television as the concert continued. "He's insane. I've met him. If you think Shou-san is a handful... Azriel's twice or thrice as bad. There's a reason he lives at the studio." the man shook his head, sipping at his wine. "But he's brilliant... just like Shou-san. But whereas Shou creates beauty... Azriel creates fear."
Akihiko blinked in surprise. "What? Like them? Do you know how WRONG you just made that sound?" he teased but then nodded over the phone. "Kids don't bother me as much as people think... especially kids who can look out for themselves."
Sure, Chiyou had rubbed him the wrong way but Chiyou wasn't exactly a kid... just an adult who was too much like a child at times.
That was the type he didn't like.
From how things sounded on Shou's end of the phone, Ko-kun was a very self reliant boy.
"Safe? Of course I am. Izzy is too because I KNOW you're worried about him more than you are me." Akihiko replied with a slight laugh. "He's just not used to being a caged bird. Least he isn't in an isolated cage. He's got Tanaka and myself after all."
Narcissus waved at Michi who had come outside at this point, but didn't answer him directly at the moment. "My cooking skills? Well OBVIOUSLY he isn't my son so I really don't think that's possible. But some people are just better at it and... time? Well uh... actually... there isn't really a TIME to do it. You just keep cooking it and kind of put your spatula under it and check it every once in a while to make sure it's not burning. Actually, this might be a good thing for Ko-kun to do since he seems to have skills you lack."
Yes, Narcissus couldn't help but tease his rival.
"I'm trying to tell Shou-san how to cook pancakes for his nephew, Michi-kun." Akihiko replied when the man had finished dragging the cooler over. "The fire's ready though. I'm just hoping pancakes don't start burning on the other side of the world right now, heh."

"I just can't see you parenting. Well, Ok you probably can't see ME parenting!" he laughed and then smiled, "Ah has Tanaka-kun, written any music yet. I feel bad that we didn't get to help him in Hawaii. I'm glad Lucky-san is safe. I worry about him. He likes to act tough but...well I'm sure you know. I can imagine. He and I have common ground there. Cages are for birds not men."
Shou looked down at the pancake and realized Narcissus was probably right as Ko pinched his nose. He had burned the first one already and hadn't even turned it over. "Oh...so maybe I should have turned this over awhile ago.. Mmm.. Ok...Ko...you're cooking. Let me toss this one out." He managed to flip it straight into the trash. And that just went to show, that Shou was good at some things...just too distracted for others.
Ko slipped in and poured a new pancake in and started the process all over again. This time, Shou watched just to make sure Ko didn't burn himself. "Naricissus, you're right, he's should cook. And I should just watch him. But...I can cook for myself. I've done it before. I can make eggs...and my own rice, and sandwiches...and plenty of other things. I'm not Lucky-san!"
"Oh...look! The first real pancake is done!" Shou suddenly exclaimed. Turning his phone around he pointed it at Ko and the pan just as Ko flipped it to the plate. Ko looked up and smiled with his Neko mask. "Say Chizuuuuuuu!" Shou clicked the image and then sent it to Narcissus' phone.
"Take a look Narcissus! Ko's first blueberry pancake!" Shou was really starting to get into this parenting idea in an odd sort of star way. He never had this experience before. He never remembered this part of his own life. All of this was new and he didn't want to forget it.
---------------
"Shou-san has a nephew? Really?" Michi said as he set the cooler down and moved his arm to get rid of a kink. "Wow....I hope they don't burn them that would be sad. Tell them hi for me!" Michi said as he walked back inside and returned with a basket filled with napkins and plates.
Soon Izzy was walked out side as well with a smile on his face. "It should be about 15 minutes and the food will be here." His tummy growled loudly as he approached and Michi started laughing.
"Ishi-san, your stomach seems to be pleased with that idea too." grinned Michi as he noticed Izzy looking at Narcissus and the phone then quickly said, "It's Shou-san and his nephew. They are making pancakes with Akihiko's help."
"Pancakes!? Oh my. Shou...umm...Akihiko, are you sure that he's ok in the kitchen. Is Yamada-san there supervising him?" Izzy asked as he slipped close to Akihiko and put his arm around the man's waist. Oh he knew a little about Shou's world and wondered if the man was a threat to his own self if left alone too long with a kitchen.

"Then I guess that person won't be me!" answered Haru as he took a glass of the wine instead of the water. "But I'll happily be that pillow."
Haru's eyes took in the concert but then he looked down at the menu and ordered the deluxe set of Shabu Shabu with unlimited courses of meat and veggies plus the three dipping sauces, udon noodle course, soup with rice and dessert. Yes, he was hungry and he knew that they would be here a long time if You wanted to see the full concert.
Once he was done ordering, he glanced up at the show and watched for awhile taking in the terror that Azriel like to display. "Mm...no doubt. I'm glad I'm not stuck managing or assisting him. Thank god I'm contracted to Shou. I'd hate to imagine what could possibly be worse than Shou. Hah! Who is the unfortunate manager stuck with Azriel?"
"Mm...he's got a good stage show but I'll reserve the thoughts about brilliant until I see a few albums. Shou doesn't always create beauty. He creates fantasies so he has rather a broad range although I have to agree that his costumes and his stage settings are always gorgeous in the meticulous details." he said as the waiter turned on the pot and started placing the 3 dipping sauces down for each of them.
"But if we generalize Shou as one who creates beauty, and Azriel as one who creates fear, then it will be interesting to see what the fans focus on. However, I doubt that Azriel will swipe too many of Shou's Bees." Haru took up his chopsticks and took a quick taste of the sesame sauce. "Mm....Oishii."
Then he pointed at the LCD with his chopsticks. "Shou's Bees are rather particular about the costuming as well. Not saying that Azriel's isn't good, but I have a feeling that there will be comparisons made about the Victorian suit and feathered cape. Since Shou has done Victorian a few months ago...and the feathered cape with XfantasyX."
Haru smiled and watched a bit longer. "But...I do find his show interesting to watch. Many demonic scary special effects. He's using Team 3 for the engineering. I can tell just by the style of the effects. It's a good crew but a little green on fire but they've smoke and spooky down pat. See that spot...the fire shouldn't be as close as it is. He probably couldn't get Team 5 because they are on Shou's docket. But then again, maybe Azriel wanted to be that close to the fire if he's as crazy as you say."
He glanced at the stage show again and wondered how much Izo was banking on the new star. Oh he knew that the man was always looking for more money. If this man displaced Shou on his throne as highest earner then, that would be problematic for Haru...and Shou. He couldn't become complacent and think that they could rest on their laurels. Shou would have to produce a new album soon...and Haru hoped that the trip to the Onsen would inspire creativity.
But with Naoko in tow... Haru sighed and the noticed food had been put in front of him. Naoko could be problematic.

"You can't sleep in AND be a pillow?" You asked, making a 'tsk tsk sound afterward. "And here I managed to sleep AND be a pillow for your troublesome star." he teased, quite happy with the dinner assortment that his partner had chosen for them.
Dark eyes focused on the television screen again as the band played an instrumental piece, allowing for Azriel's costume change or for the stage to be reset no doubt.
"I don't know who his manager is to be honest. Which yeah, comes as a shock that the VP of PR doesn't know... but there's a lot about Azriel that's held pretty close to the vest it seems."
He picked up his wine, looking at the light color for a moment. "Shou's fantasies seem to be more my liking... Azriel's darkness is... well it isn't that I don't enjoy the idea of it... but sometimes he takes horror to the extremes. You wouldn't believe how much fake blood his budget had to call for!" Ishihara shook his head, "Shou crafts beauty and fantasy and his Bees adore him for it. Azriel blends horror and fantasy and his Bats, for yes that's what he likes to call his fans apparently, eat it up. Bats versus Bees... least it's not Birds versus Bees." he teased before nodding. "But you're right. He won't steal many Bees."
Sipping the wine, You smiled. "Comparisons HAVE to be made. After all, Matsumoto is backing another 'BIG' star here. The notion of Azriel replacing Shou will be eaten up by the media... so I'd expect a few interviews wherein the question of Azriel comes up." he said, wanting to warn his partner of what might be to come. "Azriel's theme tends to revolve around gothic horror, so he may start trying to corner a market on Victorian. If Shou wants to avoid any comparisons, he may want to up his fantasy a notch. And then there are the rumors in the pipes of Narcissus' next performance, whenever that will be. Many are speculating that he's going to put off any angel or devil stereotypes and fall back into a more traditional Japanese design for his costumes. The man does look damn good in a kimono though..." Ishihara mused, pulling out his phone and pulling up an older photo of Narcissus when he had used a furisode in one of his performances. He showed it to Haru. "Good thing I've got a soft spot for men in yukata... especially considering how our next few days are going to be spent..." You teased with a wink to his partner.
"Not that I know of. Michi says 'hi' by the way. Oh, when I went to get him for this little beer and pizza fest, he was busy watching x-rated television. Wonder how productive that's been..." Narcissus teased, knowing that with Michi RIGHT there... he'd make the man blush or try to steal the phone. "But since I've pretty much been put on the inactive list until I heal up, I plan to be helping both him and Izzy with their music as much as possible."
But Akihiko couldn't help but laugh softly. "Some men enjoy cages, you know..." he flirted. "Gilded ones can be truly beautiful from the inside sometimes."
He knew a thing or two about being a caged bird... he was so used to it that it didn't even bother him any more.
"Did you burn it?!" Akihiko rolled his eyes, grabbing a soda from the cooler and popping the top. "Seriously, Shou-san... it isn't THAT hard to cook a pancake! If the boy can do it...." he shook his head, laughing at the idea. Quickly however he turned his phone around and looked at the picture then put it back to his ear. "Why are you dressing the boy up in masks too?" he questioned. "I mean really... is that such a good thing? You're going to give the kid an identity crisis!"
Of course Narcissus was joking... but the mask actually prevented him from noticing any features that would have reminded him of his own cousin...
"Ko-kun, it is a gorgeous pancake." Akihiko said over the phone, hoping the boy could hear. He turned the phone to show Izzy the picture. "I bet Ko-kun makes pancakes better than Izzy too, so don't feel bad, Shou-san."
Narcissus was laughing, though his blue eyes were focused solely on his manager. "He's fine in the kitchen, Ruki. He's got a little cooking prodigy to make sure he doesn't burn the butter... again..." that gentle arm around his waist caused the musician to smile softly and lean over just enough to lightly kiss Izzy's lips.

Dirty Little Secrets------------------------------------------------}:- Yamada Haru
It's the Devil in the Details...
......What a tangled web we weave......
"Oh no...you don't understand. That won't be ME putting you in a ballerina costume. I don't want to spend what you call an entertaining evening with Lette. I'll gladly be your Pillow and sleep in." he laughed and set his drink aside to watch the show.
'You don't know his manager?" Haru tilted his head sincerely wondering what Izo was hiding from You. He should have known the manager. How could he coordinate PR with him. "Well I'm glad you find his fantasies enjoyable. He has a passion and love for his works. I know he thinks of his fans every time he starts creating a new world."
"Bats? Seriously?" he sighed and shook his head. "I believe that Shou's fans chose the name, Bees. I think there is a hidden joke there but I've not been privy to it." Although some of these things made him realize all the more that Azriel was taking aim at Shou. It wasn't going to be a fun year from this forecast; at least for him and Shou.
"Mm....well Shou's not Narcissus. He won't go down easily. But I suppose if Matsumoto-san starts making it difficult on Shou, in order to make his newest favorite fly high, then Shou can always look at other labels." He pointed out as the frustration started bubbling with in although he appreciated You's warning more than You would know. Azriel should be more worried about being compared to Shou than the other way around." he said with a huff but inside he fretted just a little. They'd have to be at their best until Azriel made some foolish mistake. Being a favorite of the spider was never a match made in Heaven.
Of course his brow did reveal his ponderings even as he swished the fine cut Kobe beef in the pot. "Considering the album being released by Narcissus, I suspect there won't be any fantasy trappings at all. I think it will be just him...his music and his heart. Actually, I think it has the opportunity to be his most powerful album yet." he admitted as he pulled the meat out and dipped it in the blended soy sauce. "Yes, he does look...lovely in a kimono."
Haru smiled as You winked at him even though, now he had a dreadful feeling that his life was going to be hellish in the next few months. He glanced down at the phone and then rolled his eyes "I can see that! But I hope your eyes will only be on me this weekend, and not every other hot male in our little hide away. " He could still cover up his distress with a sweet line as he popped the strip of meat into his mouth.
Within, he wished that Azriel's concert would have something go wrong just to take off that glossy blood covered shine; but it was doubtful that would happen even if he could hope.

When Akihiko was talking about the x-rated shows, Michi hollered, "No! Don't tell him that! Akihiko!" It did make Michi blush because he didn't know Shou as well as Akihiko did. What would the man think of him after Akihiko spouted all that off!
He swated Akihiko on the butt just because he deserved it after that sort of comment! "You know I'll get you back for this some day!"
------
"Oh Helloooooo Tanaka-kun! Really?!" he chuckled then whispered so Ko couldn't hear. "Did he learn anything new? Tell him I want to hear the music from his 'research' soon. Oh Narcissus, I'm sure that he just has a little pent up frustration. Mm...maybe send him to my house. I'd give him time to show me what he's learned." He teased as watched Ko work on the pancakes.
"Mm....Oh I am sure some do. So that's what Tanaka-kun was watching." he said with a nod and a chuckle. "Although, reality is...a cage is a cage. The world becomes much smaller in a cage. I could never abide by it."
"Oh...well..umm...yes." he whimpered and stared at his sad pancake in the trash. "I just got a little distracted that's all. I'm sure it would have come out better had I been watching."
"But wait! Ko-kun wants to be just like his Uncle! Is that such a bad thing?" he questioned with a finger pointed to the sky. "Besides, it makes him feel safe. So if he wishes to wear it, I won't stop him. Identity crisis? How could he get one from wearing a mask? I wear them all the time and I'm perfectly normal." His grin was quite broad and probably felt over the phone because he doubted Narcissus would ever believe that.
Ko looked up as the second pancake came off the griddle. And Shou took another shot just as Narcissus was speaking. "Thank you...Narcississsiss-san."
"Oh we will have to practice English, Ko-kun." said Shou hearing the trouble that Ko had pronouncing Narcissus' name. Then he sent Akihiko another picture of the boy hard at work with the pancakes.
----------
Izzy crossed his arms as he listened. He really needed to learn to cook or he'd never live it down for a small boy being a better cook. "How old is Ko-kun?" But then his arms shook free as he slid up against Akihiko's waist. Oh...such a sweet soft kiss made his heart flutter. He blushed and leaned in to enjoy the warmth. "You'll have to tell them that we want Ko to make pancakes for us when we come home. They sound really good.
------
It was then Michi noticed the driver was at the door waving at him, and so he escaped Akihiko and Izzy's lovey dovey moment for just a few minutes to help lug the pizzas and beer to their party area.
It was kind of frustrating to watch them kiss and hold each other because he couldn't do anything. Heck he didn't even have a date! He'd have to remedy that when he returned home. Just go out, find some new people and be social. Wait, would he have time...he did have an image to maintain now. Good grief....

Yawning, Naoko walked into the kitchen. At first he wasn't paying attention... so he didn't notice Shou on the phone or Ko cooking.
"Niisan... when do you think..." but then the blond blinked and he dashed over to Ko's side.
Instead of grabbing the pan away though, he stood there, monitoring the boy's progress. After all, he didn't want to frighten the boy...
"Niisan! You're letting him cook with a gas stove?! He's only eight!" Naoko spoke, turning to his brother with a frown.
Then he realized Sai was on the phone.
Then... he realized Sai wasn't Sai.
"Uh... ano... go... gomen, Shou-san... demo..." the pianist wouldn't be put off on this subject. "Ko-kun's just a kid! I thought YOU were supposed to be making pancakes."
Laughing, Akihiko winked at Michi, knowing full well the man would make good on that threat. "Michi-kun! Shou-san wants you to show him everything you've learned lately..." blue eyes narrowed as he teased. "All of your... research..." he laughed.
But then Narcissus turned rather serious as he spoke over the phone. "Sometimes we're in a cage and we never know it... and sometimes that cage is there to protect us from ourselves. We all have our cages, Shou-san... even if yours is hard to see... it still exists. The reality of the world, is we're all captive to something or someone."
For a moment he realized he was talking about his own relationships. Izzy was his cage in a way... because now Akihiko was captive to the man he loved. And yet Ohayou was a cage as well, Narcissus' cage...
Akihiko deadpanned. "Shou... seriously? You SERIOUSLY think you're perfectly normal?" he burst out laughing, forgetting the earlier conversation. "If you're normal than I'm a Saint." but then the musician simply smiled. "Ko-kun, if it's easier for you, just call me Akihiko niisan, ne?"
One arm wrapped around Izzy, the young Koyasu nodded. "Ko-kun, Izzy wants you to make us both pancakes when we get back to Japan. Do you think..." but then he heard Naoko's voice suddenly.
'Niisan?'
Blinking, Akihiko glanced at Izzy then focused back in on the phone. "A... ano.... I thought you said you had a sister but that... that's a guy and... well... he sounds a lot like Naoko-san..." the musician spoke.
Though he could be mistaken.
He hadn't spoken too much with the blond pianist...
Laughing, You reached one hand across the table and laid it over Haru's. "Then no ballerina costumes or pink stockings... just us being one another's yukata wearing pillows... ne?" he asked, trying to push work out of the way.
"I only brought all this up to warn you, hun... not... not to get you all worked up. Let Azriel do whatever the hell he wants over the holidays... this time is just for us. I'll have a talk with him and see if he can't tone down his competitiveness... because after all, we're all working for the same label." Ishihara spoke softly, using his chopsticks to swish around a piece of meat before pulling it out, dipping it in the sauce, then holding it out for Yamada to eat.
"I've only got eyes for you and you know that." You smiled gently. "Because you understand me... more than anyone else in this world... you know that, right Haru-kun?"
He couldn't help but feel romantic all of the sudden.
Maybe it was the glass of wine talking... but You just wanted to be near Haru.
He couldn't tell why... but he craved that closeness... craved the other man...

"What!?! No way." Michi panicked thinking that Shou would see him as some sort of perv! "Research!? What is he thinking I'm...Oh lord noooo." he paled and put his face in his hands after he put down the pizzas.
"No pizza for you Akihiko!" he scolded and moved the pizzas closer to himself.
-------
Shou quieted for a moment listening to the words, "Ah...no....I've no cage. I've none at all. You cannot see it because it is not there. There is...no need for one..." Not in the spider web. Shou glanced around back at Ko who was moving right along with the pancakes. In his mind, flicked Hamu's words...and in some way, Shou knew that the web reached even to that small child in front of him. But he couldn't talk about that over the phone.
How did the Peacock survive in such a web? His fancy plumage spread far and wide to create a wall between the web and those under its feathers. He could still break those threads even though some days were tougher than others. Yes, the spider sometimes felt the sharp snap of the peacock's beak.
But the spider was fascinated by the bright plumage...for now.
"Why of course I am." he answered with a smile upon his lips. "Don't you believe me? You could be a saint...but only after you perform a miracle or two ." He lost himself in the laughter of that sweet sounding voice. It dragged him away from darker thoughts that shifted just below the bright feathers.
"Mmm... Ko-kun did you hear that?"
"Akihiko niisan...I make good pancakes like Akihiko niisan." said Ko with a boyish smile as he lifted the 4th pancake up and stacked it on top before starting the next one with a slow pour of batter to the griddle. Akihiko niisan was much easier to pronounce! He was really getting into the it when Naoko raced in.
Immediately, Ko stiffened when Naoko started speaking harshly almost dropping the spatula.
And Shou on the other hand seemed to be in shock as if Naoko just short circuited his world, "I....I." Shou tilted his head and stared at Naoko, "I've a sister..." he answered as the phone dangled in his hand. The superstar couldn't find any words until his eye settled on Ko and suddenly as if his world came back online.
"Why of course, Naoko-kun, he is just a kid but I got assistance from Narcissus-san on the phone. I'm not always at my best in the kitchen, but little Ko is a brilliant cook it seems. You shouldn't be so harsh, I'm not a idiot." Shou's smiled widened but his head felt really heavy.
"I....Narcissus-san, I must hang up now... its seems.. I need to....go." With that he hit the end call button and carefully set the phone down. "I...need to go to the bathroom. Please....watch over Ko." Turning, Shou walked out of the room slowly and closed the door behind him; his smile falling as he left.
By the time he got to the bathroom, he slumped against the wall feeling very strange and uncomfortable until he closed his eyes and drifted out. Sai, then found his place again but he felt a large vacuum of distress upon his arrival. He wasn't sure what exactly caused such a flare up in Shou but he knew something disturbed his other..self.
Returning to the kitchen, he glanced over at Naoko and Ko, "Oh, pancakes? That's right I had said...mmm... Is everything ok in here?"
Ko glanced up at Sai and then at Naoko then back to Sai then the looked back at his pancakes and started to flip the next on before it over cooked. He was confused by Sai and Shou. They were like the same person but not the same person. Little Ko heard Naoko use Sai...and Shou with the same man. He didn't know what to think about that. It was strange but one thing was certain, Uncle Shou, Uncle Sai and Uncle Naoko liked him a lot. Enough to worry about him cooking even. He smiled at Naoko and said with a small voice, "I'm good at pancakes because Akihiko niisan taught me. Uncle Shou is bad in the kitchen. So I'm cooking." He said with a confident little nod.
Sai walked over and looked at the two then down at the pancakes and chucked under his breath. So that is what happened. Well even if Shou's ways weren't his most of the time, it was good to see the boy talking to them more clearly and using a few more sentences too. "But...I'm not that bad in the kitchen..."

"I know...." he answered softly and then took a deep breath. "Thank you..." He then smiled as You offered him a bite. His lips sucked in the meat and then he closed his eyes to savor the flavor. "Mm...Umai."
"I'm gong to relax this vacation no matter what. Even if Azriel is at Shou's throat all next year, I'm going to enjoy this vacation now. I'm going to enjoy our time together. I've been waiting for this for a long time." he said trying to make sure he focused on what really mattered to him - his relationship with You.
Yes, he wanted revenge on Izo. Yes, he wanted to keep Shou highly regarded to meet that goal. But in the end, when he turned off the office light, he had something really good going on at home. Sometimes he wondered if his goals beyond their relationship were worth pursuing...but then he remembered the little boy that was rescued. Yes, in that instance...yes.
"I know...but I can't help but tease you even after all these years. Sometimes I still wonder what you see in me even though you've told me the answer numerous times." You's voice drew him right into that romantic world and it drove away all the other thoughts that plagued him moments before...except for one little thing.
Haru, paused then started to chuckle from his belly as he looked up at the tv, where the music was blaring with Azriel's next horror filled provocative tune, "I've realized Azriel's fatal flaw. He couldn't sing a romantic song to save his soul. "

What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:-  Asato Hiroki
Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions
Okinawa...Life starts over...
When Asato woke up, he looked at the clock then rolled over and stuffed his head back into the couch pillow. Walking up this early wasn't his objective but here he was staring at the pattern on the old couch.
Flipping on his back, he realized that the couch seemed to remember his form too well. Had he really spent that many nights on this old thing? Probably so, watching tv and falling asleep. It really was how things had been.
Getting up, he rubbed his back and glanced in to the small kitchen - no coffee or tea on those shelves. That much he knew. So he headed into the small bathroom and cleaned up before pulling on clothes and a coat. When he slipped out of the small apartment, the sun was shining on the street and he walked down to the combini to grab a few things.
Once he returned to the apartment, he was finally able to have some coffee. Well not the really good coffee like his secretary would make at the office but it was black and hot. He wondered if Akihiko would really be able to broker his time off. But he didn't want to dwell on it if that weren't the case. No, he'd make as much as he could off of today...and tomorrow.
For about an hour he just sipped on the coffee, watching the news of the day. For once, he didn't listen to the Entertainment channel, he didn't want to know. Instead of staying to long in the apartment, he returned to his family's home and was greeted by his father. It wasn't long before he was going through his sister's things with his father, remembering days gone by.
Before the morning was over, some of Asato's old friends stopped by and dragged him out of the house. He might not have gone had his father not pushed him along knowing that his son needed to reconnect with this world and walk towards the future rather than live in his sister's world, which day by day would slip further away into the past.
No Sir!
...Where you Lead - that is the Path I Follow.

While Haru spoke, Ishihara picked up another piece of beef, swished it around then, wanting to know it's own personal flavor, popped the piece into his mouth. He chewed, thinking about what his partner was saying.
"To reiterate," You smirked teasingly. "You're gorgeous, smart, brave, can change on a dime in bed, and... well... you respect me. Me and my privacy and the things I like and enjoy. Most people wouldn't put up with me and my ridiculous hobbies."
Which, to think, reading really wasn't ridiculous except when he was searching for a rare first edition... but the shark certainly was.
Dark eyes flickered over to the television even as You was swishing another piece of beef in the pot. "Probably not. He isn't exactly attached to anyone that I know of... hell I don't even think he dates. But then again..." his gaze flickered back over to Yamada. "Shou-san doesn't really seem to be into the dating scene either."
Of course Ishihara knew about Hayato... but Haru didn't KNOW he knew... so he had to act like it was a completely new concept.
"Something tells me I should feel sorry for whoever Shou-san romantically sets his sights on, ne?" the PR man asked with a laugh before popping the newest piece of beef, complete with a bit of dipping sauce this time, into his mouth.
Somehow Akihiko doubted that Shou was completely free of all things... but he didn't push it. Not with the quiet tone to the man's voice.
"Iie iie iie... I'm absolutely no saint, Izzy can attest to that." he said with a laugh.
Strangely, Narcissus smiled warmly at the boy's voice. "Hai hai, Ko-kun. You make very good pancakes from the look of it. Much better than your uncle, ne?" he teased... just before all hell seemingly broke loose.
Looking at the phone awkwardly when Shou suddenly hung up, blue eyes drifted over to Izzy's gaze. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked, completely perplexed by the other man's actions.
Narcissus?! Oh s**t...' Naoko thought to himself, watching a bit panic stricken when Shou dashed off.
But there was the boy to consider...
"Gomen ne, Ko-kun." Naoko replied with a smile, looking to the boy. "I just didn't want you to accidentally burn yourself. I did that once. Hurt soooooo bad! So whenever you're going to cook something, just make sure one of us is in here too, ne?" he asked before his brother's return.
Laughing, the younger Oumori slapped a hand over his mouth to keep from bursting out in giggles at his brother's expression. "Narcissus and Shou were apparently teaching Ko-kun to make pancakes. I've a feeling Narcissus is um... the one who taught him..." laughing softly, the lithe blond leaned against the kitchen cabinets, arms wrapped around his waist comfortably as he watched the boy cook. "No, you're not. Shou is." the pianist whispered to his brother. "By the way, how are we going to explain this to Ko, ne? The... two yous? Hell how is Shou supposed to explain that phone call to Narcissus of all people?"
