Ko nodded and listened to Naoko, "I will." He didn't say anything else as he continued to make the pancakes. There it was again, Shou and now...this was Sai? Ko glanced out of the corner of his eye and tried to figure it out. The mask was still on the face but Shou would have known that he was making pancakes.
Sai ran his fingers through his hair trying to figure out a good answer to Naoko's question. But he didn't really know. "I know...god.. I haven't a clue. This isn't waters I've tread through, Naoko." he whispered back hoping that Ko couldn't hear.
Then Ko-kun spoke up as he put the last pancake on the plate, "Uncle Sai...is Uncle Shou coming back soon? I want to have him try the pancakes because we made them together."

Haru smiled as he sucked in some of the vegetables from the pot, "Thanks. But I'd have to say some of the same things about you too. I can't imagine our relationship any other way. And well, reading isn't ridiculous...however..." He laughed and shook his head, "I've learned to live with one of our rooms completely devoted to a king side fish tank."
"Ah...yes, well...mm...Shou...I wish he'd have a 'good' relationship in his life like us. It would make things easier on me. He's so frustrating when he's unhappy..." he sighed because he had an idea that things weren't well with Hayato. Not that he wasn't surprised but..He had hoped. At least, while he was dating Hayato, he knew where the man was at night. Glancing up at the screens seeing Azriel singing, "No...I can't see Azriel dating either. I'm so glad that I'm not assisting him. It would drive me insane surely."
"Well, maybe I would feel sorry for that person, but then again maybe not, if he were romantically involved, I'd have more free time!" he grinned as he reached over with a napkin and wiped the corner of You's mouth. "So adorable when you dribble."

Izzy paused as Akihiko looked at him and then asked, "Did Shou-san seem like he wasn't fully in your conversation?" Izzy had an idea because he had spent two weeks on the ocean with the man.
"I don't think you did anything wrong, Akihiko. Believe me, Shou...mm..sometimes is not...on the same planet. I can't describe it really. I just know that when he suddenly changes it's not always something anyone else did."
That was the best answer Izzy could give. He suspected that Shou had a few mental issues but he wasn't one to spread that kind of rumor. And after some conversations he had with the man, they had left him confused weeks ago but the more he went back and thought about Shou....he realized that there was much more between the lines that he had not suspected.
"Come on, lets eat some of this pizza before it gets cold. Oh...and Tanaka-kun was telling me he was working on a new song inside." Izzy grinned then looked at Michi with an impish smile.
"Hey don't tell him that! I'm not singing it in front of him!" Michi exclaimed as he grabbed a slice of pizza and opened a beer. Stuffing a bite into his mouth, he shook his head a resounding NO.
"Oh no? Well I overheard you talking to yourself...I know its about Akihiko. I want to hear it too." Izzy teased as he picked up a slice of pizza and took a bite. He loved pepperoni and mushrooms but right now he was really enjoying the look on Michi's face.

From the privacy of his own viewing area, the spider watched his newest star performing with such intensity and venom. Yes, he loved watching his stars writhe on stage for the fans below.

Shou would have competition...and Narcissus...well that one may not be an issue for too long. The young man was an idiot and he'd pay like all idiots.

"Urusai na..." You admonished pulling back with a bit of a blush when Haru had dabbed at the corner of his mouth. "It's the sauce's fault..."
Reaching his chopsticks out, he plucked up a few veggies and popped them in his mouth as he tried to figure out what to say now.
His partner liked teasing him, and at the moment... well... teasing wasn't unwanted... not really anyway.
"Relationships can make things complicated too though..." Ishihara spoke, dark eyes moving up and watching Azriel with... a hatchet? The man was literally tearing into a very realistic human looking mannequin... that bled...
Really not dinner friendly... and the manager seemed to note that, glancing his way.
Ishihara gave the man a shrug as if to say, 'not my fault my boss is making me watch it!'...
Sighing, You leaned back in his seat and set his chopsticks down, picking up his wine and taking a long sip... more like a gulp really... "Right now I'm glad Azriel isn't dating... I really don't want to have to invest in body bags and trying to pay off the cops if he gets a little too into it." he shook his head, glancing at the tv again. "Sleeping with him would probably be like bedding a live grenade... or a dirty bomb... Doesn't matter what you do, you'll be blown to bits by morning one way or another."
He couldn't help but pale slightly and finish off the glass of wine, quickly pouring himself a second now. "But... relationships can be hard in other ways, you know... I mean look at us... no one knows we're together. That... bugs me sometimes. But then other times I'm damn happy for it because Izo hates you, Haru-kun... I mean REALLY hates you." You sighed again. "He'd probably hate ME if he knew."
"In our conversation?" Akihiko thought about that for a second as he walked over to the pizza, snatching a piece from the box near Michi... ONLY because the man had tried to deny him the tasty treat. "Well... suddenly no. But before that yes. He just suddenly said he had to go and hung up. It was... odd..." but the musician just shrugged, falling into a chair gracefully as he took a quick bite of pizza. "So he's crazy? Glad I'm not the only mental one around here then." he teased... but secretly filed that knowledge away.
Izzy knew something... he thought... and he planned to question his lover on it later.
But suddenly blue eyes widened and focused in on Michi. "A song? Of course you're singing. I don't take 'no' for an answer. And I WILL tickle the song out of you one way or another if I have to." the young tiger laughed before his eyes widened EVEN MORE! "Chotto chotto chotto... about me? Okay now you HAVE to sing it. Don't make me flirt because I'm quite comfortable right now." he joked, sipping his soda.
He'd have beer in a bit...
Blinking, Naoko spun around and looked at Ko suddenly. "Well uh... I... um... I don't know, Ko-kun. See..." he sighed, trying to figure out how to explain this to an eight year old! "Well see... Shou and Sai are the same person, Ko-kun... but Shou doesn't know about Sai so we have to keep him a secret, ne? Sai knows about Shou though... but they really are both the same. If... if he doesn't come back, we can save a pancake for him in the fridge, ne?"
Amber eyes glanced at his brother. "I thought you were going to try to stay you? What happened?"

Sai's jaw dropped as the boy spoke up. What could he say to THAT?! But Naoko was already well ahead of him as he stood there quietly hoping the boy wouldn't take things badly. Because Sai had a feeling that the kid had far worse problem hiding in his head - bad memories that no child should endure.
"Oh...so that's why Uncle Shou only is around sometimes. Uncle Naoko are two people too? Will I get another me when I grow up? That would be really neat." Big questions started coming out of the little boy's mouth as if he were going through that terrible two stage. "Secret? Ohhh...is Uncle Shou an alien?" His eyes widened as his imagination took over. "But I want to give him a hot pancake."
"I can't help it Naoko, I...don't know when it happened. It's not like I just gave him the keys and said go for a drive." answered Sai feeling a bit exasperated by the situation. "Maybe I should call Narcissus-san back and apologize for my abrupt departure?" He said as he picked up the phone and looked at the most recent number. "
"It's ok Ko-kun, Shou will get a hot one, we will reheat it for him. And well it's all going in the same tummy so in a way he's eating it too. But...um..No, we're not Aliens. And...mmm....having two of you isn't always a good thing, Ko-kun. Just imagine if you suddenly couldn't do the things you like to do like...mm...play the piano for days or months."
"Oh..." Ko's face looked a little crest fallen with that realization. "I don't want two of me, I think." But still in the boy's mind the idea of skipping school by trading places with a second self was rather appealing. Now that would be fun!

Dirty Little Secrets------------------------------------------------}:- Yamada Haru
It's the Devil in the Details...
......What a tangled web we weave......
Haru pulled away and hidden behind his hand he kissed the edge of the napkin. Such as sweet little indirect...kiss. The blush on You's face brought a sexy smile to his partner's lips. "I can't wait for Kyoto...."
"You know we might have to leave a very big tip for that..." Haru gestured at the LCD with his chopsticks. "Who's in to this sort of stage show? Whats the demographic? Dysfunctional teens with nothing better to do...or no money to shop? I'm not sure I could sit through 2 hours of this even when we were their age."
"Yes, I know that relationships are complicated. It's difficult to live with a star...like that. Well, I doubt anyone would live willing with a star like that..." His chopsticks pointed to Azriel before getting more veggies then noticing the waiter bringing over the udon noodles.
"Thank god he isn't dating. I mean really." Haru snagged his noodle bowl and put them into the pot to soak up the juices then grabbed a special spoon to start scooping off the starch from the top. It always was inevitable with Shabu Shabu that the fat and starch from meat and noodles would have to be scooped away every so often to keep the pot fresh."If you have to do something like that, just let him go to jail. I'm sure that it would skyrocket his...ratings." Of course he was joking but Haru wouldn't have minded seeing it happen to someone like that. Azriel seemed way too much like Izo's type.
"Blown to bits...ugh...He really isn't a good dinner conversation. I don't think I want to think of how that one would treat a date." But then he looked more thoughtful as You spoke about Izo's thoughts of him.
"He and I just don't get along. I'm not going to let Shou get screwed over by one of Izo's special contracts. And that man doesn't like my red line over his black one." His tone softened though as he considered the other aspects of You's words. "I know that relationships can be hard. I wish we could be open about ours...but I'm afraid, you're right. He'd never forgive or forget."
"Mmm....maybe we should drop this conversation. Not saying that it isn't...a good one to have but You and I are going on Vacation and I don't want to be thinking of that man and the misery he creates while we are away. So you best run your errand quick, Ishihara You....VP PR. Because after that's done, your mine. No VP, No Azriel, No bloody hatchet thingy on...ewh...Can we turn that off? Haru looked down at the udon noodles and bit his lip. Was he going to be able to eat them now?

Izzy relaxed as the conversation shifted from Shou. He had actually manipulated the conversation away from that topic with Michi's song. he hoped that Akihiko hadn't noticed but the man was surely a hawk in his own right when it came to picking up on details in a conversation.
"Oh no...no no...I'm not singing something I just made up. And no no...I'm not singing it in front of you and Ishi-san. No way! Man I wish Ishi-san didn't have such good ears. Dang..wait don't you dare start flirting with me in front of your boyfriend! It would be to embarrassing to sing because it came up when I was watching a commercial....on TV." He hoped that Akihiko might get a clue because he really didn't want to sing something about Akihiko that well might not be something Ishi-san should hear.
Izzy stood there with pizza in his mouth listening to Michi tell Akihiko no in many different ways. Really, this was rather amusing to Izzy because Akihiko and Michi were like two kids when they were together sometimes. In a way, he wondered if they would have made a better couple than he and Akihiko could, however, if that had been the case Akihiko wouldn't have chosen him; wouldn't have come all this way to find him. Izzy knew these two had been together once...in his apartment no less. He wasn't completely stupid. And well he was sure that there had been other times too. But, right now? He didn't think so. He trusted Akihiko.
"Awh, Tanaka-kun, I'm sure your song wouldn't offend me." he said as he nibbled his pizza already almost through one slice.

As soon as Michi said that... Akihiko cracked up.
He really couldn't help it though!
Laughing, the man set his soda down before he dropped it and just doubled over. Michi had written a song about HIM after THAT?! DURING THAT?!
He just couldn't stop for a few moments, and when he did, blue eyes fixed on Tanaka knowingly. "Oh, I don't know, Ruki... it might offend you." Narcissus replied, still laughing once everything was said and done.
In Akihiko's mind, he wouldn't betray Izzy... no matter how much he wanted to just tackle Michi at times and ravage him.
After all, Izzy and Shou hadn't been together and they'd been stuck adrift at sea for two weeks!
The least the young tiger could do was stay celibate for his most treasured person...

Naoko smiled softly at Ko. "I take medicine so there are not two of me." he replied, feeling he should be honest with the boy. "Sometimes... things happen to people... and they make a second person in their mind. Sometimes the person is a good thing, like Shou. Shou's wonderful, isn't he? But even though he's so gifted and a genius... I like Sai better because Sai is my niisan. Shou thinks of me as just his pianist." the blond sighed, watching the boy make pancakes. "If it'll make you feel better though... how about there be you, Ko-kun... and NeKo-kun?" he said softly, thinking this might help the boy actually. "A lot has happened, hasn't it? Maybe you need NeKo-kun, that mask there," Naoko pointed to the mask on the boy's face. "to help you out for a little while. So whenever you feel scared... all you have to do is put on NeKo-kun and you won't be you!"
Sure, maybe this wasn't healthy... but the boy had been traumatized, that much was obvious to the pianist.
He wanted to help...
And since Ko apparently had two uncles who were each two people in their own right... why not let the boy use it as a means to protect himself.
It had worked, somewhat, for Sai... and unknowingly... it had worked for Narcissus as well... to an extent.
But then, seeing how sad Ko suddenly looked, the blond rolled his eyes and laughed. "Ko-kun... having two of you doesn't mean one of you can go to school and the other stay home and watch tv." he said, almost perfectly predicting what the boy was thinking.
That was, after all, any kid's dream... wasn't it?
Looking to his brother, Naoko nodded, "Sorry... I kind of panicked when I woke up and you know... but then I smelled pancakes so I assumed you were you." he replied honestly. "But... no... let Narcissus be for now. Who knows... maybe he'll forget all about it?" the blond shrugged. "Least we can hope he does..."
Ishihara sighed and tilted his head back, looking up at the ceiling. "I'm PR... I'm supposed to watch things like this... especially since I had a hand in getting it on television." he sighed again. "Now I'm not so sure it should have been broadcast. Not like I got to see a live performance... running all over the world after stars..."
He put his chopsticks down, staring at the big spoon as it scrapped away the starch... almost mesmerizing him in a way, while in the back of his mind he was seriously wondering why Azriel had to be so damn extreme ALL THE TIME.
"I dread the day Shou meets him... because he's either going to find the man fascinating or completely repulsive... and it all depends on the mood Azriel's in."
Actually, it more depended on if he were acting sane at the time or rambling on and on and on about this and that in his strangely melodic way.
"I think his demographic is the visual kei gothic scene. The man just loves horror and enjoys scaring and shocking the hell out of his audience." Ishihara spoke, dark eyes flickering over to the tv to see that finally Azriel had calmed down some and was... standing on what was supposed to be a cliff with a wild ocean projected below him, cape flying in the strong wind as he sang.
"Oh god he's going to jump from there... I just know it..." sighing again the man shook his head. "We're going to be getting calls asking if he's promoting suicide next!"
Azriel really was a PR nightmare...
But he was so shocking, so different than anything else out there, that people were just drawn to his horrific displays.
Yet... unknown to Yamada... Shinichirou Katsu was really a brilliant mind. Sure, he had his moments of sheer insanity... but what genius didn't? Katsu was a valuable asset to Izo... one that You knew the spider wouldn't give up so easily.
Every time he met the man, Ishihara had the feeling of tiny needles pricking at his skin. Just being caught in Katsu's gaze was enough to put him on full guard... because luckily, You knew the man's true underlying talent.
And thankfully Katsu hadn't been able to get a good read on him... because... after all... Ishihara WAS still alive.
Picking up his chopsticks again, You snagged another veggie. "Speaking of stars living with one another... aren't Ryuukaze-san and NAKO-san living together? How's that playing out?"
In truth, Ishihara was genuinely curious. They were two big names, Ryuukaze being bigger than NAKO it seemed... and all You knew of the blond pianist was from Naoko's experiences in the pit and what Izo had told him. He wanted to understand the relationship that the two had... a relationship that had been somehow slipping beneath the radar of the media.
In large part thanks to You's own efforts.

Izzy continued to eat his pizza even though Akihiko was rolling in laughter. "Whoa Whoa! Akihiko, you're going to spill your beer! What's so funny?? Oh? Really? Well..mm...Why should it offend me? Wait! You wrote a song about Akihiko....and it is something that might offend me? You...you wrote about...Oh...Oh my." He blinked as sudden realization hit. Well he knew that they had a relationship but he hadn't thought that Michi would write about THAT portion of the relationship!
Maybe he didn't want to know about that right now. Leaning down he opened an American beer. "Maybe I should wait for the album." he said with a smile although he didn't seem offended that Michi would write such music but he didn't know how he'd think if he heard it. Of course, then again he did sing about one of Akihiko's darker moments in life. So...maybe he shouldn't take in such a way. He remembered Shou saying he had to be able to face the good and bad...life on the stage wasn't easy. Life off stage even harder. He'd have to always deal with the fact that this man could have been chosen instead of himself.
So he quickly took a breath and inserted, "Of course then again, maybe I should hear it now. Just so I can get over the shock before it airs live." It was almost as if Izzy turned on a dime. Sipping on his beer, he left Michi dumbfounded.
-------
Michi sat there very uncertain of what to do. His eyes flicked between the two men, "Maybe you should wait till the album because really its just a first draft." he admitted as he popped open an American beer and chugged it down. Oh my god, he needed a drink.

Ko listened to Naoko's words and try tot understand within the limits of a child's mind. "But Shou is your niisan too right?" He couldn't figure out what the difference was except that Shou couldn't cook. He hadn't actually heard Shou singing. Oh...well perhaps he had on the radio in places he didn't want to remember.
"NeKo-kun. Kink of like NA...KO..." he smlied a little brighter and tugged his mask just a little bit.
"I'm sure that Shou won't mind you using that for awhile Ko-kun but you can't be NeKo-kun all the time." Sai pointed out with a gentle smile. It's good to stand on your own too." Of course, couldn't always say that worked for him due to all the triggers that had built up over time. Even Naoko couldn't just hold the Star at bay within Sai. But Ko, he didn't have these problems for real. It was just a mindset to help him keep afloat until he could handle things little by little.
"Oh no! You're not going to school like that Ko. Speaking of which, I need to hire teachers for home schooling." he said as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked thoughtful. "It will be practically impossible for me to get him to school everyday so you're going to be educated like other stars' children, on the set. It's going to be a lot of work putting this together but you are going to have as close to a normal life that we can offer."
Ko pouted for the first time like a real kid because obviously his new Uncles weren't going to let him get away with that! "Awh! but Ojisan!"
Sai then laughed, "I'll heat up some maple syrup now you two go set the table." Indeed, Sai was much better in the kitchen. He poured the maple syrup into a serving bowl and heated it carefully in the microwave. Then, quickly, he whipped up some scrambled eggs and bacon. Sure pancakes were good but he knew that just pancakes would leave them starving by the time they did a few hours of shopping.
Bringing out the eggs and bacon, he set them on the table. "Ok..now we can eat!"
Ko blinked as he finally slipped into the chair in the center of the dining table. Sai really could cook, he though to himself. And Shou didn't have as many skills there. Ko pulled off his little Neko mask and set it aside before taking the plate that Sai filled with food. Sai then filled Naoko a plate and handed it over to him. "After this, we need to get dressed to go shopping, right, Naoko?
"Itadaikimasu!!" said Ko with a squeaky voice and dug into the pancakes first. They really were..Oishii!

"I have a feeling that your going to have a lot of problems from the media once this is done airing. It was prime time after all. I wonder how many parents had small children watching this. Maybe we are lucky we're going on vacation." he said as he finally finished scraping the starch and set the spoon aside in the special cup so the rest could drip off.
"Shou is not going to meet Azriel for a long time if I have my way. I don't really want him associating with....Azriel. I know Shou realizes he's out there. Better for him to just see the clips from this show than to actually meet him." With that Haru actually was determined. He didn't want one of Izo's sleezy cronies having any contact with Shou.
"Yes, but horror gets old after awhile so I guess we will see how it goes. There's a reason the gothic horror niche never gets big. Because people have enough problems in their day to day life. It might be fun to savor a horrifying performance every now and then but I don't think that people want to live with it every day. Ok...maybe a few twisted souls...." thinking of Izo and his thugs, "...but most average Japanese just want to be like you and I and have a happy life together." he sighed as he looked up and shook his head.
"Oh great.... Well at least you won't have to take those calls because we will be in Kyoto." He almost laughed at the thought of Izo on a switchboard with the media lined up to scream in his ears. But..." then he paused and his eyes flicked up to the screen a catching something, "Mm...I have a feeling that Azriel is going to be irritated at Team 3, as he watched the 'illusion' flicker off on...off, then quickly it came back up.
"Naoko-kun and Ryuukaze-kun, are the same as they were when the first met. A day by day drama. Mm...I think it's just the way their relationship works scarily enough. I think they seriously love each other but I think they are better at music than their relationship." He took out a share of noodles from the pot and started eating while avoiding looking up at the LCD. "I suppose though that it's better those two are with each other than causing scandals with other people. Running their benefit for Hawaii was not easy, but they had their hearts in it so that was refreshing."

"Technically though... we're your bosses right now." Akihiko spoke up, picking up his soda and sipping it for a second. "I mean... Hiroki DID technically leave us in charge at the moment so..."
Oh yes, he was going to play that card.
Narcissus smirked mischievously. "If Izzy wants to hear it... by all means, Michi-kun... sing away. First drafts could use the ear of a trained professional and a manager. Shou-san wanted us to help you, after all."
He hid his smirk behind the soda can, eager to hear what Tanaka might have cooked up while watching 'television'.
Naoko blinked when Ko left with plates to set the table. "Please tell me he just called you 'ojisan'. I don't think my own vanity could take it..." but then he glanced at his brother with a soft smile and hurried away to help the boy.
"You know, Ko-kun... Shou is my brother yes, and most of the time I call him Shou-san... but he doesn't know I'm his brother. So we have to keep that a secret from him too, ne?" the blond asked with a happy smile as he placed the silverware around the plates that the boy was setting out. "It might confuse him. But the more you can understand the differences between Sai and Shou, the more at home you'll feel. Like, for starters, Sai doesn't sing or play piano or any of that. Shou does. Sai also doesn't wear makeup or masks, but Shou does." he got some glasses down, handing one to Ko for the boy's own before putting one down for him and one for Sai. "What differences are there between Ko and NeKo, ne?"
He quickly filled the glasses with some nice cold milk.
It wasn't long before Sai returned with extra food and... Naoko's stomach growled... loudly
Aside from the bento the night before, he hadn't properly been eating ever since....
Well really ever since the insanity surrounding the charity concert when the real Hayato had shown up...
Then of course there had been the Purple Lotus drugs Izo had given him, which the withdrawal from had not been too pretty...
"Gomen..." the younger Oumori said, apologizing for his loud stomach.
He took the plate from Sai and nodded. "Lots of shopping! Now THAT is something I'm very good at." the pianist said with a wink to Ko before digging into his own food with a quick 'itadaikimasu'.
After a few moments he sighed and leaned back. "I don't think I've ever had such good blueberry pancakes before!" the man spoke before taking another bite and having a quick sip of milk to wash it down. "And I've really missed your culinary skills, niisan."
"That's why I wrote my secretary a nice big raise." You spoke, pointing his chopsticks at the LCD. "That is EXACTLY why." but then the man laughed softly. "She's the one who gets to answer the questions and calls while I'm on vacation. I swear, the woman makes my life easier... I hate going into SMASH... working from home's so much more convenient and... less nerve racking."
For a moment, Ishihara simply swished some beef in the pot, then dipped it in sauce and chewed. Took up another piece, swished, dipped, chewed...
"Team 3 will probably get an earful from Azriel AND Matsumoto for that one... but at least Azriel didn't miss a beat." he nodded. "Well, make sure that Shou ALSO doesn't associate with Shinichirou Katsu then... cause that's Azriel's real name. Just... keep it secret though. Very VERY few people know that. He likes to keep a low profile in society so he really only wears makeup at SMASH and when Azriel is needed. Kind of like Shou now that I think about it..."
Sighing, You picked up his wine. "One day you'll have to let me see just who's beneath the makeup and masks." he joked, not really thinking that Haru would ever let that happen.
No one was to see an unmasked Shou.
Ever.
"Speaking of which, Matsumoto wants me to work closer with you and Shou to help promote him. I guess even with Azriel's success so far, he's still worried about Narcissus and that Izzy Lucky I met overseas. You know, he and Shou seemed REALLY close... maybe there's a connection there between them?" the man shrugged, dark eyes staring at a piece of thinly sliced beef, uncooked, in his chopsticks. "Might be a good idea to have them together over here... could give Shou some inspiration and... well... if there IS anything there, who knows. Maybe Shou will have found someone who understands him and the industry enough to form a romantic relationship?"
Stranger things had happened.
Of course, Ishihara had no idea that Izzy Lucky and Narcissus were... together.
If he had known that... well... he probably wouldn't have suggested it.
Sighing, You banged his head on the table in annoyance. "WHY CAN'T I STOP THINKING ABOUT WORK?!" he lamented before looking up sheepishly at Yamada. "Gomen ne, Haru-kun... I haven't had a vacation in so long that I guess part of me is... freaked out? I don't know..."

Michi grabbed another piece of pizza and was well on to his second beer while Akihiko tormented him, "Then fire me." he said with a grin. "I'm going to take a cue from you and be a difficult diva."
Leaning back in his chair he glanced at the fire with a smirk on his lips, "You gotta do something better to convince me. Or wait until I get a whole album done so you haven't a clue which song it is."
Oh he sure didn't want to sing something that was a lustful and wanting song about Akihiko in front of Ishi-san. Why oh why did Ishi-san have to hear him talking to himself!?

Izzy laughed and tilted his head watching Akihiko as he took a sip of his own beer. "You're the entertainment side so you get to deal with your difficult diva tonight." This was becoming quite amusing because Michi looked nervous and he was actually sweating just a little.
It was easy for Izzy to guess that the song had to be something about the more intimate side of their old relationship. But he was curious to see if Akihiko could really convince Michi to sing it in front of him. Did Akihiko want him to hear what Michi's thoughts were? Izzy was sure that there was nothing going on right now between them, but he wondered if Akihiko was still really attracted to Michi. He was sure that Michi was attracted to him.
Inside, Izzy really didn't mind the flirting so much but...beyond that...well, if Akihiko wanted more, then he'd have to also be allowed that pleasure as well.

Sai just laughed, "I think he was talking to you." Then turned away continuing to smile and thinking that it was kind of nice to have a little family again. Ko made everything just a bit more sunny. Even if he had many problems they needed to work through. Sai was going to get a psychologist to talk to the boy as soon as they were back from the trip. He didn't want Ko's life filled with the pain that Haru rescued him from.
------
"Oh...but it's obvious! He looks like you..mm...without..umm...the masks. Umm...Ok." His voice went from high to low because he was still a little confused about the whole thing. However, having 4 uncles rather than 2 was kind of cool too! Although, Naoko's other self...well Ko wasn't sure about that but he didn't ask any questions. He just nodded taking in the info about Shou and Sai. It didn't seem too hard to keep them straight.
But then he was asked a different question about Neko-kun, "Umm...NeKo is a Neko. And he's umm...super smart and he never gets hurt. He always wins...and no bad people can find him." Ko answered with a determined nod. He took the glass as set it down in the right spot. Then licked his lips as Naoko filled the glass with milk. "NeKo also likes Milk!"
Ko's tummy growled too when Sai came into the room with the food and soon he was stuffing a pancake in along with a thick pour of syrup.
"Good because Ko needs so many things. I think we should take a limo and driver because we're going to be really packing by the time we come home. Oh do you need to call Ryuukaze-san and give him an update before we go out?" Sai asked before smirking as he watched them eat, "I'm glad I've not lost my touch in the kitchen but thank you Ko for the great pancakes. Shou couldn't have made them without your help."

"Poor woman. She is going to love the raise and hate you all at the same time." he chuckled as he sucked in more udon. "I'm so glad that I don't work under you!"
"Well, Team 3 not bad they've just not been honed by...me and my crew." Haru smiled thoughtfully, "It wouldn't happen with Team 5. But Team 3 is far better than 1 and 2. Those crews mostly work with the really new groups and idols. Team 4 was removed and made in to Team 6 after too many superstitious people got into an uproar about the number after that one lighting guy fell from his platform. For Azriel I would have probably gone with Team 7 or 9. Team 8 works with Hayato, so their out. But 7...well consistantly, I've like the team lead. He's a quiet man but he's got...mm..wait this is Azriel. Nevermind. I don't want Team 7 to suffer. Let's hope he is stuck with Team 3 for awhile."
"I'll make sure he doesn't. I don't need Shou caught up with Shinichirou Katsu...or Azriel. I'm rather protective of Shou's well being since he's the one that pays." he grabbed anohter piece of meat with the chopsticks and pushed it around in the pot. "Mm...no reason for me to talk about another star's real identity. I understand the meaning of privacy since my star is so...particular. I may not like Azriel's music but even a man like him has a day time life...at least I hope."
Haru paused for a moment and then pulled out his meat to dip in the sesame sauce, "I'm sure you would like to see, but I like the idea of having a job and being able to afford that new apartment." He knew it was a joke and he returned it in kind. Of course, inside his head, he just didn't want to get his love messed up in the insanity that was Shou.
"Really? Why is that? I thought he'd have you full bore on his newest bloody star? Mm...I wouldn't know. But after spending 2 weeks on the open water like that things could have gone many different ways." Haru thought about it for awhile and he knew Shou had a connection to Izzy but how deep it was, the star didn't suggest. If they had been intimate that would be important but Shou had not even talked about Izzy to him like he might have other things. And that in itself was odd.
"I suppose Izzy Lucky can be invited over to Shou's studio since they have performed recently together. I'm guessing that MeKA will be putting out that single at least. Although, who knows...Shou didn't speak of any contract. I have a feeling it was a whim for him...again." Haru sighed then laughed as You banged his head. "Well dear, you're not quite off work yet. You've still got an errand to run for the man below. But once you meet me in Kyoto, you better be ready to turn in that suit for a yukata because if you don't I'll change my mind and find those pink stockings...." He pointed out with a wicked smile.

Sighing, Akihiko pulled out his cell phone... and began to text...
The message went straight to Krystal's cell... which he KNEW Izzy had in his pocket because he could actually see it.
I cant fire him beyond talent because my back's still effed up. If you give me your okay, Ruki... I'll try to flirt/coerce the song of out him. I might have to get a bit steamy though... Do I have permission?
He hit send and smirked, just sitting back and not saying a single word. Narcissus would let Michi sweat for a moment... let the man wonder what he'd done and... wonder what he'd said in private...
'I'm not old.....' Naoko lamented to himself as he cut up his second pancake. "He likes milk, ne? Well... does he like regular milk or chocolate or strawberry best?" the blond asked, treating NeKo as another person apart from Ko.
Like an imaginary friend of sorts.
He knew the boy was confused... and he wanted to help that confusion... but Naoko wasn't about to explain his OTHER self to the child.
Not after what the kid had been through.
No... the younger Oumori would just keep his life filled with happy thoughts and medication and not let that OTHER dwell in his mind for too long.
"But I thought we wanted to be incognito." Naoko asked, putting down his knife. "I mean... a limo is going to draw attention, niisan." but then the man laughed, "And apparently neither of you could do it without Narcissus-san."
"I thought you enjoyed 'working' under me?" Ishihara said with a smirk, completely turning his partner's words around on him.
Sipping his wine, dark eyes watching Haru's movements, taking comfort in the grace the man possessed even during dinner... "I think he's more of a night owl than an early bird so I'd put my money on no day life only night life." but then he laughed. "I like you having a job too... makes life helluva lot easier for us both, ne?"
You shook his head, waving away the notion. "He won't let me touch Azriel because I don't like getting stuck interacting with stars on a professional and he knows that." which was partly true... the basis he sometimes interacted with them upon was FAR from what normal people would consider professional... "But he hates you and thinks I'd be a better liaison to Shou and you than you to him... I think..." the man blinked for a moment. "Actually that makes some sort of weird sense... because I just think it riles him up every time he sees you to be honest, hun."
Chopsticks reached out, finally grasping some udon for the first time. "You want me to drown you in the private baths, don't you?" Ishihara teased after that 'pink stockings' comment. "Hai hai... errands..." the man sighed, just wanting it to be over.
He did NOT look forward to forcing Katsu onto a plane at that ungodly morning hour.

So as he sat there he noticed Akihiko take out his phone and text. Who was he texting!? Oh great. No it wouldn't be Hiroki...or his grandfather. So what could he possibly be doing?
Michi tried to ignore it and change the subject. "This is pretty good beer. I'm not sure which I like better Japanese or American. The American has a bit of a kick to it I think."

Izzy got up when he felt the vibration go off in his pocket. "Excuse me for a moment." he said and got up and walked away.
Looking at the phone, he was rather surprised when asked for this particular permission. So he text back.
Well, ok but you know he's might still be really attracted to you. Are you sure that would be a good idea? I mean, he he is your friend after all.
He acted like he was on the phone with someone so Michi wouldn't get a clue other wise just occasionally glancing down at the phone itself.

"Strawberry....no....chocolate...mmm....both?" he asked as he couldn't make up his own mind on that one. Imaginary friends could be very difficult. So he continued to eat and ponder that idea while the men spoke.
"Well I wanted to but...wait...my sedan should be in the garage here. We could feasible go out without the driver as long as our last load went in the back seat." he answered realizing the last time he parked it was in this very garage.
"The only difficult part is you, Naoko-kun. Someone might recognize you if we go out. You and Ryuukaze-san aren't exactly unknowns anymore. Should we put you in a day dress and some heels for today?" he teased as he ate his own pancakes and savored the taste. "Mmm...good."
"Oh yes, well it seems that Narcissus-san is a far better cook than any of us here if he can handle long distance cooking instruction for Shou." said Sai as he realized one day he wouldn't like meeting Narcissus in person. Somehow, Shou had put up with the star through thick and thin...he hadn't a clue why considering so it made the man worthy of further investigation.

"Oh...only at home. I think that would be my 'work from home' policy." he answered as he finished his bowl of noodles.
"I'm not surprised that he's a night owl. He seems that type. Yes, and me working is far better than me staying at home. Although if I was at home all the time I might look good in an apron." he mused as he leaned back to let his stomach settle some.
"Yes you don't but he sent you to handle Shou. So you might be careful. He could be grooming you for something else. You never know. Hah...well of course, he's never heard any conflict between Mr. VP PR and Assistant to Shou. I wonder why?" he laughed and teased, "Maybe I just like to make sure my star has his PR budget signed off on. But you're probably right. The less he and I deal with each other the better I think."
"No...but like a small fish I do plan on swimming up along your legs and nibbling your toes." he grinned, "Actually, I'd rather eat you alive like a Shark. Nom NOM!" he smirked knowing that You dodged the pink stockings but he was sure that You would laugh at the next comment. He just loved seeing his partner smile. He wanted them to forget everything for the next few days and just be together.
Then, dessert was sat down at the edge of their table. A creamy flan pudding dripping with caramel. "Ooh...fattening but...so good." He dragged his flan over and grabbed a spoon. He might still take a little more meat later but for now he wanted the sweet stuff. "Mm....I just wish you could shove the errands off on someone else but I know...you don't want any mistakes. But if its just errands couldn't anyone else do them?"

If I offend him I'll make it up to him. Promise. Just don't kill me after this.
Akihiko sent the text back then set the phone down on the chair, standing and walking immediately over to Michi.
He then proceeded to sit on the man's lap... again...
"I'm not moving til you sing that song." Narcissus spoke, leaning back and getting comfortable. "And believe me... I've only begun to coerce you into... performing..."
There was that lower tone to his voice... coupled with the fact that he moved just a tiny bit every one in a while... just to remind Michi that he was sitting there.
"Just think... you keep drinking those beers... eventually you're going to be quite... lax in values... you know..." Akihiko spoke as if he were talking about the weather. "And I'll still be sitting here... on your lap... waiting..."
Suddenly, without any warning whatsoever, Narcissus turned his body enough that he was straddling the man and leaned close, lips just against Michi's ear.
"I've got permission, you know... we both really.... really... want to hear your song... Mi... Chi... Kunnnn~..."
"Dress no." Naoko replied pointedly, actually pointing his fork at his brother. "But you can dress me up in kimono and I'll act the part of a lady of sophistication." he teased.
If they had to give the appearance of a little family on the outside, he could deal with his brother's desire to dress him as a girl.
Especially since his lack of boobs wouldn't go as unnoticed in a kimono.
"Well... which type of milk to YOU like, Ko-kun? Maybe that way... NeKo-kun could like the other?" the blond offered up before laughing softly and glancing at his brother. "Narcissus-san is better at a LOT of things, so don't feel bad. He makes my piano play look grade schoolish. Then again... Ko-kun's piano playing is better than my own too... I hope I'm not losing my touch..."
Sighing, Naoko looked down at his eggs for a moment. "I should focus more on music... less on Ryu..." but he sighed again in frustration because he LIKED focusing on Ryu... LOVED it.
But he also loved the piano...
Why couldn't he have both? Why couldn't it be like Ko-kun and the chocolate versus strawberry milk?
Oh wait, because HIS other half, unlike the make-believe one of Ko-kun, was a homicidal maniac.
Sighing again, Naoko laid his forehead on the table, suddenly not feeling so hungry. "Maybe I just need to practice more..."
Ishihara couldn't help laughing at the idea of Haru being a shark. The man was far too sweet to be a shark... cunning yes... swift and agile as well... but far too gentle.
Whereas You... well... he had a side to him that was worthy of a predator's domain.
"Lets hope he isn't grooming me for anything because frankly, the idea of him 'grooming' me in any sense of the word is unappetizing." You teased, continuing to eat noodles, even as his partner dug into dessert. "I'd gladly push them off onto someone else... but I promised Matsumoto I'd do them personally. It was the only way I could see to get him to agree to the vacation at all really... so I should consider myself lucky."
Ishihara shrugged, "Who knows... maybe me being liaison between you and Izo wouldn't be such a bad thing, ne? Might cut back on some of your own headaches for a while."

Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
Michi was well into his third beer and third slice of pizza when Akihiko pulled up his lap and sat right on it!! "What?! Wait what are you doing? " his heart pounded a mile a minute as the man leaned in and got comfy. "Akihiko! You've got.... a boyfriend and that person...isn't me."
He burped and then set his beer down trying to avoid that very idea of getting too....lax. Because beyond the music there were 'other' judgement calls he could really fail big time on when this particular man set his wiles upon him.
"No..no...you're not tricking me with your over active libido. I'm being a GOOD boy. You've got to think of Ishi-san." His body shuddered when those deliciously skilled lips teased his ear. "No...get up Akihiko I'm....."
"He What!? " his eyes flicked open across the patio where Izzy was sitting in the chair just watching Akihiko work."No way..." Michi whispered and couldn't even guess what Izzy was thinking right now. And Oh my his face was turning beet red after every minute passing. His body trembled as he bit his lip then looked back into those seductive blue eyes. "You're evil...and he's even more evil if he's letting you be this evil."

Kill you? You're only flirting right?
Izzy wasn't so sure when he 'hung up the phone' what Akihiko was planning but when he turned around, he saw...Akihiko sitting on Michi's lap. He blinked then took a breath thinking to himself all the while that he trusted Akihiko and this was ONLY flirting.
He walked back over and pulled up a chair to 'watch' picking up a piece of supreme pizza and taking a bite. Then....realizing that it had...olives on it. For a moment, he sat there trying to decide if he could swallow the piece he just chewed. Finally, with a gulp he got it down but afterwards he picked off all of them from his slice like little offensive bugs.
Of course, as Izzy looked up again and saw what Akihiko was doing, another part of Izzy's brain had a couple of Yaoi fantasies run right through his mind. He took a quick sip of his beer because that wouldn't help matters if he were turned on by what he was seeing. Although it was hard not to...look and compare his manga notes in his head. Maybe this wasn't a...good idea!
Continuing to smile, Izzy was glad that Akihiko could not see his face at the moment because he might have realized what he was thinking.

"If you wore a kimono, it would take us forever to shop. You'd be walking in tiny tiny steps. And by the time we got done, I'd be carrying Ko home over my shoulder asleep along with all the bags that you couldn't carry in that outfit. Oh no...I know better!" he teased back as he forked up another pancake.
"Mmm....Chocolate..so...NeKO likes Strawberry." he answered quickly then patted his mask. Of course, he chose his favorite for himself but he still liked Strawberry too."
"Narcissus-san is a prodigy with music but I'm sure you've read plenty of his poorer qualities. Ko-kun is a prodigy too. I can't deny that but you've worked hard on your music and you write great songs. You're not losing your touch. You're skilled too even if you don't get there on the same road as Narcissus or Ko you a successful pianist." said Sai confidently and lovingly. He knew sometimes Naoko's own self doubt was what hindered him from doing better. He couldn't fix that problem in Naoko unfortunately, he could only offer advice.
"Well, you know Naoko that all depends on your goals and your priorities. I think you can have both if you focus and practice." Sai advised as he poured pancake syrup over his pancake.
"Practice make perfect." Ko's little voice squeaked as he picked up his milk and gulped it down. "I can help Ojisan to get better at piano!" His little grin was pulled into a broader toothy smile which revealed very straight teeth that had bits of pancake caught in them.

"What? You don't think I could be a shark?" He put his hand over his head and wiggled it back and forth like a fin. Then he grinned and said, "I'm taking lessons from Lette."
"Ewh...mm...forget I said that. I don't want to even consider that notion while eating desert." Haru shivered as he spooned into his flan. "Ok ok...I can wait for you to arrive in Kyoto. By the way, what time do you have to head out in the morning? Should we get a move on if you want to get some sleep before hand?" he asked as he looked up at the clock. It was coming up on 10pm and the concert wouldn't last that much longer because they usually started earlier than in the US.
"I certainly would rather talk to you than him." Haru mused as he tried very hard not to look up at the TV for fear that would also ruin his dessert. "Although, I don't know how Shou would take it to have you around him more often. He's very peculiar and particular at times. But...I would love to spend more time with you...at work. Goodness knows we don't get to see each other enough as is with our mutual schedules."

"If you really want me to play the villain here... Michi-kun..." Akihiko's blue eyes narrowed dangerously and he reached his hands up, running lithe fingers through the physical therapist's hair before leaning in close again, whispering oh so seductively. "I'm not going to get off of you..." then he chuckled darkly. "Wrong choice of words... my mistake... I'm not going to move away... that sounds better, doesn't it?" the man was being beyond seductive and bordering dangerously on the predator level.
Narcissus sucked in a little breath through his teeth, making a soft hissing sound that was damn close to sounding like a light moan. "I'm not going to move away until you agree to sing the song you wrote... we're all adults here... I think even Izzy can appreciate your.... thoughts? And who knows... maybe you'll end up helping me with a little problem of my own in the process... ne?"
One hand moved down, resting against Tanaka's chest and rubbing it ever so discreetly. "Onegai.... Michi-kun.... we really want to hear it.... and I'd rather not rip your shirt open to take this coercion to the next level... after all... it's such a nice... shirt..."
Okay so Narcissus could play the submissive type... if by submissive you meant the one begging for something but then actually ripping you to shred in the process of said begging.
To him, right now, it didn't matter how he got Michi to sing that song.
He just wanted to hear it.
Needed to hear it.
And somehow... he felt like Izzy should hear it too.
Looking over to the boy, Naoko couldn't help but smile. "I'd like that very much, Ko-kun. We can practice together, ne? It's been too long since I played just for fun... always for work work and more work. Maybe I just need to not think about writing music... and just play?"
Then again there was the 3DS game he had to write the song for... but he could do that in the meantime.
If he kept plugging away at the concept, he'd get himself stuck in a rut or worse.
Amber eyes glanced over to his brother. "Well then I wear a hat? Sunglasses? I mean, if you can't see my face too much, I'm not very recognizable... right?" he asked, hoping that were the case.
"Shou didn't exactly seem to mind me... he just didn't want to come home." You replied honestly.
Because from the way the man had acted, there was no bad blood or off start between them. Course that might have been different had Shou been privy to You's 'conversations' with Jun...
"I mean, I don't know if I can blame him. He and Lucky-san kept each other alive for two weeks. He didn't want to part with that connection. Coming home meant reality whereas LA meant he could continue to play the fantasy for a little while longer." it made perfect sense to the PR man... but orders had been orders... and they had been handed down by Izo himself no less.
Looking up to the concert, Ishihara watched as Azriel finished his last number, descending into a pool of blood that had literally been built into the stage floor via one of the trap doors. He was walking slowly, singing and just after he disappeared from view, the stage lights dropped and darkness descended, the stage curtain, black silk, falling. Creepy music flooded the arena and an insane sort of cackling laugh, enough to stand one's arm hairs on end, echoed through the speakers... as if someone had won some grand demonic prize.
Of course the laughter was actually Azriel's own, recorded, and while that distracted the audience, the stage hands got Katsu out of the pool of blood, because he could only hold his breath so long, and off the stage without anyone the wiser.
"At least the concert's over..." Ishihara said, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Though... I rather liked that ending dramatic element. Kind of like a rebirth from blood is in the works as the theme for his next tour... I'll have to ask him. Guess blood's easier to work with than fire... and god knows he's no phoenix." dark eyes moved back to Haru and the man smiled. "I have to leave early. So early it'll make your head spin. But finish dessert. I actually promised to watch the concert while eating dessert... and here I hadn't even touched mine yet."
