What a shock, it was so surprising,

"I'm apologizing because he won't and it's appropriate as his manager to do so. His actions were atrocious. I never expected this sort of conduct. And well, Umm.. I wouldn't have done what Nakai wanted." Although in the back of his mind as he thought of what he saw at least....well mmm...Naoko was shaped well. But he pushed that thought out of his mind as he reminded himself that he could fantasize with the next issue of Chara Selection when he was back at the loft.
Sipping on his coffee he kept his eyes upon Naoko as he spoke wondering seriously if Nakai and Naoko had the same problem - Not thinking too far ahead...or not thinking with the right one. Because Izzy couldn't even think of a situation where he would have let himself be as free as those two had been in the alley.
"I guess he probably did want to scare me. For a moment, he did. But I think in the end he probably hurt himself more than anyone there." he paused for a moment listening to Naoko continue on about Ryu.
"Ah so that's Ryu. I've heard his music before. He's really quite talented." he sighed himself thinking about Naoko's next words. "The intimacies between stars in the music industry is not unknown to me, however, the indiscretions of Nakai and..well yourself was rather surprising. It was not my expectation first day on the job."
As Naoko pointed at him and started to give him instruction, it sort of annoyed him. He wasn't Nakai's keeper even if he was his manager. And even so, if Naoko was so worried about Ishi, why was he pursuing Nakai himself? But he calmed his thoughts before continuing not wanting his own feelings to color the mood, "It seems to me that Ishi probably learned plenty about Nakai in that Alley and can make his own decision whether or not to pursue a man that will bounce from partner to partner. Whether he is deaf or not I am sure he understood what he witnessed. Although, I cannot say how he's going to feel about you. You might speak with Ishi and at least tell him what is on your mind. Frankly, if I was your manager, I'd recommend airing this out with Ishi so you rebuild trust."
Taking another bite from his apple pie he tried to ignore the cigarette but the smoke did bother him little by little. He knew Naoko needed to vent but reality was as it was and he needed to face it, "Really, if you think about it, Ishi has to make his own choice about Nakai or he won't grow as a person. But speaking as an outsider to most of this, Ishi can do better than Nakai."
Picking up his napkin he dabbed his lips and tilted his head for a moment looking for other features that might differentiate Naoko from Nakai. He'd have to think on that for a bit and stare at photos later. Then as Naoko put out the cigarette, Izzy was quite thankful. However, he blinked in surprise when Naoko told him about his manager's actions, "I'm nothing like your manager, Naoko. I do understand the value of my star and other stars even if they aren't my charge. I'm surprised your manager hasn't been fired or sued. If Ryu was a part of Ohayou Productions, you're manager would be paying a very high price indeed...and lose his job. It doesn't matter the reason for his actions."
He laid the napkin down on the table, then returned to his coffee. Izzy noticed that there was more to it than that and well he wasn't dense enough to not know the reason. If Ryu was in the hospital and a 'lover' while Naoko was out here in an alley working on some 'business' with Nakai....Oh yes, that was a lot to unravel in just one sitting.
After sitting there a few more seconds trying to pick his words carefully, he finally said in a comforting tone , "I'm sure you've been under quite a bit of stress since Ryu has been in the hospital. Sometimes that stress and tension can come out in the wrong ways. And...when you're not thinking clearly, you can make the wrong choices. Just breath, then focus on your heart...and your music to find your center once more. After that, you'll be able to decide how to make the next move. Whatever that choice might be."

Naoko smiled, and in all honesty, it was a pure smile. One that reflected, somewhat sadly, the man's true feelings.
"Don't worry about me patching things up with Ishi. I've already got it in my head to talk to him when we've BOTH calmed down over the entire affair."
He suddenly sighed, running lithe fingers through tangled blond locks. "Besides... I'm going to have to put myself in Nakai's shoes now and try to deal with my own problems. It's not the BEST way to say 'Get better, lover' when you were nearly f***ed by a guy who could double as your own twin now, is it?" snaking his head Naoko picked up his coffee cup once more. "Guess I just like trying to protect everyone EXCEPT the person I SHOULD be protecting, huh? Some lover I've turned out to be... getting a hard-on in an alley of all damned places."
But then Izzy began to talk in a softer manner... in what NAKO placed as a voice that the man probably used for the child stars he had been assigned to previously. Laughing softly, the blond could only smirk as he spoke up, "No, I'm not thinking clearly. I haven't been thinking clearly since I met Nakai and Ryu. Before that, all I cared about was my music and my band... now, well..." he shrugged. "I've had one helluva inspiration from them both though, that's for sure." his amber eyes focused on Izzy once more, the man calming down.
"My next move is to go see Ryu and tell him what I've done. I thought about keeping it secret... but that would just make me feel even more like s**t. Who knows, if Ishi decides to dump Nakai, maybe Ryu would be up for a threesome... he wasn't complaining about the idea of it yesterday, that's for sure."
Yes, Naoko HAD to tease Izzy. He just had to. Of course he wasn't going to suggest they make it a foursome... because to be honest, Izzy was quite cute in a megane sort of way...

"No, I suppose not." he answered quietly in response to Naoko's words about talking to Ryu. Izzy wasn't the type of person to consider getting himself in the pickle that Naoko had put himself in. Well, actually, he had to wonder what a situation like that would be like. What would it be like to have a few men interested in you? It was a curious thought that teased his mind and he had to pause for a moment to consider it.
Dating...Izzy hadn't really had the time. His career had outweighed everything for so long; he had tried very hard not to let things like this intrude between him and success. "I wonder what it is like to have that many attracted to you all at once?" he said absentmindedly then caught himself suddenly. "Oh, I'm sorry, that was my inside voice coming out! I shouldn't have said that." His flustered embarrassed voice had a hint of blush at the edge of his cheeks. And immediately he took a sip of his coffee to refocus. For pete sakes! He shouldn't have said that out loud. He certainly didn't want any of these Stars questioning about his own problems. Especially, when they had way too many of their own!
Izzy glanced up when Naoko laughed, "I've heard that the best inspiration comes from the most unexpected places. I can only imagine what song might come from this but please don't add me to the lyrics." he returned with a quieter appeal and a smile.
"Mmm...Well if Ryu is ok with an open relationship then I suppose you haven't much to worry about, do you?. Just be honest with him and maybe talk about boundaries so you know how far you can go with other...men. At least, then you would be free of guilt if there was anything to be guilty about in the first place." responded Izzy after he had mulled it over.
But then he blinked and his jaw slipped almost dropping as Naoko considered Nakai for a Threesome with Ryu even after all that had happened today. Naoko wanted a Threesome? But wait...wasn't he angry with Nakai?!! He still wanted him? A blush crept on to his cheek and he speedily took another the last swig of his coffee almost choking on it. He coughed for a second then set down the cup.
He couldn't admit any sort of curiosity nor would he comment on it. That would be down right dangerous consider he was a manager, and shouldn't be even thinking of things like that. No, he wouldn't become embroiled in any tawdry affairs with other Stars. How could he remain objective if he did? So he tried to cover this up by going back to 'work' topics and remain the prim an proper man out of the bunch. Yes, he could do that because he actually was the prim and proper one here!
"Mmm...I'd suggest giving my star a little space until he figures out his own issues before bringing something like that up with im. After today, I am sure that you don't need your drummer, Ishi getting any more confused than he might already be. Well, mmm....yes but that is up to you." He said after glancing at his watch; another distraction. Naoko had to be feeling a bit better now considering the last few comments and the more relaxed smile on his face.
"Oh my, you know I hate to be the one to leave first but, I need to collect a few things before my business appointment tonight." he said as he pushed the glasses up the brim of his nose; the next distraction. Yes, anything to not to talk about...how to manage a threesome. He really didn't rightly know from personal experience and he definitely wasn't going to tell this man that he had none to speak of except through a larger selection of yaoi manga that showed in a variety of detail from all angles.
"I do hope that our conversation helped, " he said with a bright smile that he masked his other thoughts with, as he got up and handed the waitress cash which included a healthy tip. "Maybe we can meet again in the future. I have a feeling we will be seeing each other sooner or later. Although I believe Nakai will keep me quite busy for a bit."
It wasn't long after that he left and started to head towards his Corvette at a little brisker pace than usual. In the back of his mind, he knew he'd be going to his loft instead of the office. All this tension required a bit of private time with his favorite takoubon.

'Boundaries...'
Now that was a word that the pianist hadn't actually ever thought about.
At least not in this sense...
He'd have to figure out Ryu's boundaries... hell maybe even figure out his own, if he had any...
But, Izzy reaction to the idea of a threesome didn't escape Naoko's gaze.
He could almost feel the tension drop thicker after having said it, as if Izzy were quickly trying to build up a wall between them in order to protect himself.
"Don't worry," NAKO spoke with a half-smirk, sipping his coffee. "I wouldn't get in the way of Nakai's career, just like he wouldn't in mine... at least I hope he wouldn't. We both take our music very seriously... which is why we keep getting interrupted, it seems."
Standing, Naoko took his pack of cigarettes from his jacket. He carefully pulled one out, putting it inbetween his lips before giving Izzy perhaps the most sensual look he had ever given the man.
"Besides... I'd watch yourself if you catch my meaning, Izzy Lucky. Your cute... and defiant. Probably right up Kai's alley."
Naoko even had the gall to put a hand on Izzy's shoulder as he passed the man!
"But don't get the two of us confused... There's a reason I was on the... receiving end..." he teased before walking toward the cafe door.
Even though the megane-wearing manager had intended to be the one to leave first... somehow... NAKO had beaten him to it...
"Take care of Nakai, Izzy Lucky. No doubt we'll see each other again." Oumori waved as he exited the small shop.
Once outside, the man knew what he needed to do...
So, hailing a taxi... he asked the driver to head toward the hospital as quickly as possible.

Ryuukaze  Lying in the hospital bed, unable to move, it felt like seconds were hours. How long had he been here now, Ryu wondered. What truly made things unbearable was the absence of Naoko. With his beloved there, anything would be bearable. At least Ryu knew that, wherever his lover was, Naoko would be thinking of him, and only him. Knowing that was the violinist's one remaining comfort.

Okay, so Naoko had been forced to make one teeny tiny little stop before heading up to Ryu's room...
The hospital gift shop!
After buying a dozen red roses... and a crystal vase to keep them from dying too quickly, the blond headed up the hospital elevator and to Ryu's private room. Of course it was a pain to get in to see him, but once security realized it was Naoko and not some rabid fangirl (or boy), they had let him pass.
Opening the door, NAKO put on a smile. "I do hope you're feeling good enough for visitors..." the man teased as he walked in, roses in hand.
His smile disappeared however, once he was standing directly next to his akuma's bed. "I... I'm sorry it took me so long..."

Cute? He thought to himself as he blinked and took in the sensual gaze that sincerely caught the Izzy off guard. He swallowed unexpectedly as Naoko put a hand on his shoulder and if there had been anything else, Izzy would swear that this man and his star were quite similar...in certain areas. Too many hormones for their own good! That gaze though caused his cheeks to flare up with a hint of heat and he was rather glad that the other left just before him so he could straight his glasses and catch his breath.
However, even as he drove home, he couldn't even be convinced that a man such as Nakai would be someone that would find him attractive. No, he certainly didn't have the style or the...pheromones that Naoko seemed to possess.
Nakai and he were destined to have a GREAT PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP. Nothing more. Nothing less. He take care of all the behind the scenes and Nakai would make the audience swoon for every inch of that sexy body and charismatic voice. And he, Izzy Lucky wouldn't even be noticed in the wave of fans and publicity. That was the way of managers and their stars.
As he parked the car, and walked up to the elevator that took him to his private loft, he couldn't help but wonder how much...Naoko and Nakai did have in common.
"But don't get the two of us confused... There's a reason I was on the... receiving end..." was what Naoko had said. Oh good Lord. Those two! One was as bad as the other. Even if they were on different...ends of the spectrum.
He sniffed his clothes when he arrived inside his Loft then groaned, "I have Naoko all over me! He's so lucky he's not a singer or I'd snatch his pack!" Stripping down out of his suit, he stuffed it into a bag for the dry cleaning service then wandered into the shower....AGAIN. First, Nakai's nasty fan mail and now Naoko's bad habit! They were the SAME!
How long he stood there in the shower he couldn't say but finally he stepped into the bath and proceeded to soak slowly closing his eyes and slipping into a quiet dream that was rudely interrupted by his cell phone's alarm.
His eyes flicked open and looked up at the clock on the wall. Only an hour before he'd be meeting with....Nakai. Crap! He'd not be late. No he'd be early! And he streaked out of the tub almost sliding across the tile.
Scooting into his clothes after quickly drying his hair, he thanked himself a million times over that he had purchased a loft that wasn't far from the studio. Racing to his office there, he gathered the documents he said he would bring and rushed to the restaurant to be a bit ahead of the 8pm reservations.
Glancing down at himself, he tugged once at his neat pressed suit making sure everything was in place and too a deep breath to calm himself and prepare for the task at hand. And so he walked in and was met by the 'ninja' and guided secretly down the halls to a private room where his table would be waiting. To Izzy, this themed restaurant was quite fun -straight out of the movies and he might have enjoyed the setting even more had he not a business meeting to deal with.
He doubted Nakai would be there before him but...he would surely find out soon enough. -:{------------------------------------------------I didn't know what to do

Ryuukaze "Naoko!" Ryu's rasping voice managed to exclaim. The smile on the violinist's face looked quire forced, but the absolute joy in his eyes could not be mistaken. "Seemed...so...l-long." Ryu said before shaking his head and reaching for his notepad. "Still hard to talk. I missed you. I'm sure it seems longer than it was because I did miss you so much. I know you were missing me too. wink Thank you for the roses, they're beautiful." =^.^= Ryu scrawled, even adding the wink and cutesy neko face. He handed the notepad to the keyboardist, smiling, and waited for whatever his lover had to say.

Lithe fingers took the notepad and read what was scrawled across it.
"I missed you too, Ryu-kun..." Naoko spoke, setting the vase with red roses on the bedside table. He then proceeded to sit beside the bed in a chair, handing the notepad back. "I talked to the guys and they liked the idea of your violin joining our band. I ALSO talked to Scott who apparently hired that young man from your apartment, you know, the one who basically saved your life, as your nurse here." the pianist crossed one leg over the other, assuming a comfortable sitting position. "I ran into Nakai and his manager as well."
One step at a time.
He was going to tell Ryu that he ran into Nakai, which was true. He wasn't about to spring everything on him at once.
"Kai may come and visit you, if he gets a chance. He's got a dinner date with his manager, Izzy Lucky, tonight so it'll probably be tomorrow... speaking of which... when can you finally go home?"

Ryuukaze Ryu mostly smiled and nodded at Naoko...until the mention of Nakai came up. Grabbing up his notepad, the violinist set to scribbling on it as though he were penning a passionate song that had just come to mind. As soon as he finished, he jutted his hand out toward Naoko so that he could take the note. "I have no desire to see Nakai whatsoever. I kinda thought you knew that, what with the way he acted toward you in front of me in that bar. I don't like him, not one bit. The doctor said I'd be able to go home in a day or two at the longest, perhaps as early as tomorrow if I take well to the medication and don't have any complications. Then I'm going to find Nakai and beat him with a crutch if you so much as tell me that he looked at you wrong."So yeah, Ryu was being jealous and hyper-possessive...but in the state he was in now, he was no competition for that pervert, and he certainly couldn't do anything right now to take care of Naoko's desires, therefore...he had to compensate.

Well THAT hadn't been the expected answer.
Smiling slightly, Naoko shook his head, "Nakai isn't THAT bad, akuma-kun." he spoke softly, taking one of Ryu's hands in his own. "I mean, he flirts a lot... and I got to meet you both at the same time..."
How desperately he wanted to say, 'Besides, when you're better I thought we three could, you know, continue that karaoke parlor session in full...'
And yet, something within the pianist KNEW without a doubt, that if he said that... he'd loose Ryu forever.
This newly found anger toward Kai, on Ryuukaze's part, left a sour taste in NAKO's mouth, and his guilt level skyrocketed so quickly that he actually felt sick to his stomach.
"He just doesn't know what to do with all his raging hormones."
Deciding the change the topic before he accidentally spilled his guts about the entire exchange in the alley, Naoko continued. "I hope you can come home tomorrow. I'd rather look after you... personally..." the blond smiled, rubbing his thumb over the top of Ryu's hand, before giving him back the notebook.

♠|M|i|k|i|♠  Kazuo sat there in his seat quietly as he then noticed that Ishi had finished reading the lyrics NAKO had made as he then grabbed it and he began to read it. While he was reading the lyrics he began to think of many ways to make some melodies for the song, a slight smile got on his face once he finished reading it as he then placed back on the table. " It's a really good song, i can't wait to put a melody into it.." he thought to himself as a slight sigh escaped his lips while he then noticed that Nako, Ishi and Ni had already left the meeting room. " Wa! they already left!.. ehhh.... i must have been dozing off quite a long time..." the blond slightly rubbed the back of his head. The guitarists slightly turned his sight towards the woman that was with Ishi and slightly smiled while a loud growling noise came out of nowhere as a some what surprised look got on his face while he then slightly began to giggle as he then stood up and continued looking at her. " sorry bout that, it's just that i haven't eaten anything in the hole day.." the blond said while he slightly smiled. " I'm going to get something to eat, would you like anything from the store Yamamoto-san? " (( sorry for the late post... it's just that i didn't have time to come see how things are going. Nilergwen, i just read the PM you sent me and i'm really sorry for not being active but i'll try my best to be active from now on.. '^^)) ♠|Kazuo Matsura|♠

Ryuukaze Taking up the notepad again, Ryu wrote with one hand as he held Naoko's hand with the other. "Gomen, Naoko. I just don't trust him. He's a conniving, self-centered b*****d. If he..." Ryu stopped writing, shook his head, laid the pad face up where Naoko could see it, and raised his hand to the keyboardist's chin. "Nao...ko...I love you." Gently, the former vocalist drew Naoko's face down to his, kissing him tenderly. When the kiss broke, there was only one thing he had left to say in that moment. "Only you."

If Naoko could have done a face-palm... he would have.
Ryu made his guilt go so high... so fast...
"Ryu... I..."
For once in his life, NAKO didn't know what to say. Not only that, but he actually thought he was going to cry!
Instead, the pianist rested his forehead against the edge of Ryu's bed, closing his eyes as he simply tried to breathe.
'I can't lie to him... I just... I can't...'
"Ryu..." he eventually began, his voice quiet and soft. "When... when I ran into Nakai, he... well... things got complicated and... before I knew it we were in the alley near SMASH Studio and... if we hadn't been interrupted by his manager we... I..." NAKO took a quick breath, trying to steel himself for what was to come next. "Gomen nasai, Ryu-kun.... if we hadn't been interrupted, we would have had sex then and there..."
He immediately looked up, amber eyes full of tears as he watched for Ryu's reaction.
"I... I'm so sorry, Ryu.... I... I really love you... I care about you so much... I've just, never... I've never had any boundaries and..." he let his sentence trail off there.
He felt like the world's biggest a**...
