Kou smirked as the star gave up. "Got ya." He pulled one of the feet up and kissed a toe. "I win." Kou chuckled playfully then released the foot.
He then picked up the knitting that had gotten flung to the side in the process and started to un-knit the row that was really messed up. "If you're good, I won't knit you that bow." He was teasing of course because he had no intention of making the musician a pink bow. Maybe a blue one...or a multicolored one to match the sweater.
It wasn't long before Kou got up and walked into the kitchen to grab another beer, "Hey you want one?" he asked as he popped his own can open. Then leaned back against the closed frig to take a swig. Ah it did feel good bubbling and going down the back of his throat. "l can't stay up too late. I've got studying and classwork in the morning. What are your plans for the week? I'm sure you've got a lot of work to do before New Years." Kou said thoughtfully as he set the beer can on the counter beside him.

"Y...yeah....ya got me...." Ryuukaze huffed, trying his best to catch his breath and gather his wits about him. Now that his weakness was known, he had to find out what Kou's was. It would only be fair, after all. "If I'm good? Well then..." Ryu picked himself up off the floor and smirked, sauntering his way into the kitchen right behind Kimura, moving up on him as the host leaned back against the refrigerator. "Well then...I can promise you...I'll...be...good." the violinist licked his lips and put his hands on Kou's hips. "No thanks. I'm not in a drinking mood tonight. One was enough." he smiled, stepping even closer, bringing their bodies together and rocking back and forth in a slow dance to music that nobody could hear. "This week...hell if I know. Working during my days...and, hopefully,...I'll be spending most of my nights with you." Ryu paused, then slowly stopped moving and closed his eyes. "Except...Sunday. Sunday I have to attend the funeral of a dear friend..." ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~

Kou wouldn't reveal his weakness easily. Oh yes, he surely had one but it would be a little harder to track down. It would have amused him to know that Ryuu was going to search for it.
He recognized that gleam, "Good?...Mmm...I see..." Naughty was more like it. Kou bit his bottom lip as Ryuu pulled them close. "Alright, well once I'm finished with this one, I'll need to hit the pillow."
The host rocked gently with the musician in that dance just enjoying the comfortable space between them. "So most of your nights with me? Mm...I guess I'll give you a copy of my work schedule because my shifts can be late some nights. And I do have class work. So you might be watching me with books and papers scattered on the floor at times."
Then he fell silent for a moment and his smile fell a little. Funerals were difficult things and well Kimura Kou wasn't sure what to say so he kept it simple and polite, "Mm....Sunday. Yes, that wouldn't be a good time. My condolences." He didn't ask who the person was but he did wonder. It wouldn't be right to ask.

As the trio walked through the house, passing Izzy's technical bedroom and the stairs going down to Akihiko's room and the studio, the young Koyasu kept Ko's hand held in his own. It felt so strange... that little hand... a hand that had played such heaven sent music...
Yuuji's son... a boy that Narcissus should have known and yet had never met until now...
Letting that hand go, Akihiko watched Ko set up his mochi plate before being offered quite the question. "Mmmm... that is a problem..." for a moment, the young tiger tapped his chin then glanced at Shou before addressing the boy. "I've got some t-shirts in my closet. I'm sure one would more than work for pajamas. It'd probably go down to your knees at the very least."
After all, it wasn't as if he had any children's clothes
"The piano." Yuuji said, his expression falling at the thought of what's different about his son. "He could never play before... never even tried really except once at Aki's house... he tried to play the piano there out of curiosity but..."
Shaking his head, Takagi just stopped and thought about it. "He was playing like a pro in there... like Akihiko does when he's really into it... and yet he's never played before... You take away his fear and his memories and this strange ability with the piano, because obviously the fear is something he gained when he was taken and memories are easily forgotten in fear... and he's exactly like the boy I thought lost."

"The piano? Mm....so he never played? And when he played at Koyasu Aki's house, he didn't seem to have any talent for it?" Izzy asked as they walked up the stairs.
"Seeing him play is like seeing a....well...master. I think he's a prodigy, Yuuji. Scary enough but that talent isn't done growing. Having dealt with talented children for several years, Ko-kun is....well, Yuuji, I think he might be a young Mozart. That's the only way I can describe it. He's going to need specialized instruction...schools...and even then, he might outstrip his musical mentors in a few years. If he continues at this rate." The manager could see that so easily in Ko. And he guessed that Akihiko and Shou could definitely see that in the boy. Akihiko probably had the best ear for what could bring out all of Ko's amazing aptitude at least on the piano. He knew Shou's talents were different but he had a feeling that Shou's perfect pitch and composing skills probably were already being absorbed by the eager child.
"Fear is something we can work through. The memories...that will take time, we just have to ask the right questions and maybe not so direct. The shock of hearing that you were his father didn't set well. Probably because his mind has all those things mixed up with terrifying events.. And if he was at a doctor, we should ask Shou to give us the results just so we know if there's anything else we're dealing with."
Then he paused as they got to the top of the stairs glancing back at Yuuji. "I don't know what unleashed his talent, but I doubt that his ability to play the piano will just disappear. It's more than just piano, Yuuji. He was working on his first symphony the other day. And I'm guessing he's completed it. Whatever caused this talent to manifest had to have been in the time he was...gone. And I have a feeling whatever we discover about this isn't going to be...mmm...good. Just be prepared...Ok?"
With that he opened the door and looked around then listened to hear the sound of other voices not too far away. "I guess they've taken Ko to the green guest room. Mm...Should we wait in the great room? Or do you want to peek in on them?"

Shou's brow furrowed realizing that maybe he should put a suitcase in the trunk for emergencies like this. But still even that would be awkward since he road in various vehicles. He never knew which one he'd be riding in until it showed up. But it kept people from guessing where he was when he traveled Tokyo.
"Ah...that would be perfect." Shou said in relief. "Great idea actually. And well, mm...if Narcissus has a washing machine maybe we can freshen up your clothes"
Ko smiled brightly, "Is it a concert t-shirt?! I'll wear it!" He asked then turned to Shou and pointed a finger. "As long as you don't add too much soap this time. Guess what Akihiko-niisan. Uncle Shou's clothes mostly go to dry cleaning because they are all fancy. So I had to teach him how to use his washing machine and dryer. But the first time he used it by himself he...added...A LOT of soap. Someone needs to supervise him!"
Shou crossed his arms slightly flustered. "I thought the soap would really clean everything better if I added more."
The boy laughed and sat down on the bed. "You need to read the labels and just follow that. But...I guess we can't wash most of your clothes that way. Uncle Shou's closet is....Amazing." The boy couldn't believe that the star's life was one big masquerade at times. But it was a world Ko had fallen in love with. The star's magical glamour blanketed the hurtful things. Shou was so much different from Sai. But he couldn't talk to Akihiko-niisan about Sai, the normal one that could wash clothes and cook pretty well. Sai was very responsible in comparison so the best Ko could do was help Uncle Naoko keep Uncle Shou from being a complete fruit loop with the most common house tasks. It wasn't that Shou couldn't do these things. It was his attention span or work that got the better of him.
Shou sighed and tilted his head looking over at Narcissus. "I think a t-shirt will work. Thank you." Of course he wasn't sure what he'd wear to bed tonight. Although he wasn't as concerned for himself as he was for Ko. Shou still had not come to terms with Yuuji's claim as Ko's father even if Hamu cast the doubt on the boy possibly not being his sister's son. Some things sort of made sense but still Shou couldn't grasp the full situation. And if it were true, What would happen next?

Ryu frowned, realizing that, yeah, it was pretty late. Of course Kou would have to go ahead to bed. He, by all rights, should be at home in bed himself. There were things he needed to get done tomorrow as well... "I understand. You need your sleep. But..." the violinist smirked, "I don't mind watching you study, just as long as I get to spend some time with you. There's nowhere I'd rather be..." Playfully, the star nudged his head against the host's, making their foreheads bump together gently. "Ah, but yeah...Sunday. Hm. I guess...part of me doesn't want to admit that it's really happening, ya know? Like...me an' Hayato weren't super-close...but we had just become friends. Not to mention...the guy saved my life...once upon a time. Say....did I ever mention I have a metal plate in my head?" Ryuukaze suddenly veered off-topic, knocking on a spot in his head that was no longer skull, a metallic thud coming from the area. He was getting a bit random again, as he tended to do easily when he was emotional or distressed by anything in any way. The violinist hadn't even meant to mention Hayato any further, but part of him really needed an outlet. Plus, now that he'd said the man's name, certainly Kimura would know who it was he was talking about. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~ ((OOC: Sorry I've been MIA, school is kicking my a**.

"You want to watch me study? Seriously?" Kou teased and shook his head, "You'd get to see me cursing my instructors. Looking online for help. Trying to read English so I can come up with the right answer. And squishing my stress ball until it's begging me for mercy. I'm not sure how much fun that would be for you." Kou laughed as he thought about it because from some outsider's perspective it might almost seem like some TV drama skit.
He gazed into Ryuu's eyes as their heads bumped then kissed Ryuu's nose. "Point for me." he murmured just before Ryuu started to explain...Sunday.
"Hayato-san?" The star's name didn't sound very familiar to him but he didn't listen to all the music that every label put out. He knew of Narcissus, Shou...and even Ryuukaze because they were much more popular. But after a moment something did come to mind, "He was a vocalist at the great Charity Event to help disadvantaged kids. Right? That event I hear really helped out a bunch of underfunded facilities. You were there too...Mmm....well if he saved your life then you're obligated to see him off to the next life." It really was all he could say about the Hayato since he didn't know him and could only consider the proper etiquette of the matter. Kou didn't want to intrude any further so he was happy with the change of topic.
"You've a metal plate in your head??" he repeated and looked up curiously at Ryuu's head. "I bet that makes airline travel...interesting." Now he was curious about the spot but didn't want to tap where Ryuu had. "It doesn't hurt does it??"
Kou didn't have anything odd like that. His life might have been particularly bland except for his job and the fascination with knitting.
(OOC: But it sounds like you're doing good in school so far even if you're having to struggle with your health and everything else. So keep up the good work! I'm sure that you'll do great! )

Yuuji shook his head, "No talent that I was ever aware of. He played recorder in elementary school but every child does that for music class. If he's suddenly a prodigy though..." the man sighed, walking forward until he was in his cousin's living room. "I know what I'll need to do for his talent, Lucky-san. I just have to make sure the mistakes made with Akihiko aren't made with Hideo. Believe me, there were plenty of mistakes too... I won't let my son turn out like that. I... well honestly, I strangely feel like I can trust Akihiko to help me keep Hideo from being so distant as well."
Without asking, the man walked over to a cabinet in the living room and opened it, taking a few glasses out and pouring himself some whiskey from the decanter... then pouring some for Izzy. He doubted the manager even knew such a niche existed, but Takagi was certain his cousin wouldn't mind. Hell, Akihiko would probably pour himself one as soon as Hideo was secured in bed.
"I'll speak with Yamada-san myself and find out what he knows... what this doctor was able to find out." Yuuji continued, handing Izzy a half-full glass. "I don't want to shock the hell out of the boy again..." he swirled the whiskey in the small glass, watching it. "That was the strangest reaction I've ever seen... I..." but then what Izzy said about being prepared sunk in.
Oddly enough... Takagi actually laughed. "Believe me, Lucky-san... I'm more than prepared. I've heard... stories... whispered myths of some of the darker and seedier places that Matsumoto-san deals. I don't know the locations but I know just what sorts of depravity goes on there... to an extent." he shook his head. "Let Hideo... let Ko get his rest. It's enough for me to know he's safe and in friendly hands now."
Akihiko blinked... then burst into laughter. "Gomen! Gomen, Shou-san! I just... you really can't use a washing machine?" he smiled, unable to hide how amused that bit of information was. "Yare yare... at least Ko-kun is around to make sure you're not creating too big a mess, ne?"
After a few moments of trying to compose himself, Narcissus left the room, traveled downstairs, and came back with a concert t-shirt that was far too big for the little guest.
Back upstairs in the green guest room, he smiled and held the shirt up for Ko. "This was from my third tour." the young tiger spoke, handing the shirt to the boy. "You can keep it, Ko-kun. Mmmm but yes I do have a washer and dryer, I think i can handle a bit of laundry, Shou-san." the man said with a smirk, unable to stop thinking about his rival's mistakes.
It was nice to know he was superior off the stage in one or two things... laundry... cooking... apparently a love life too so that was a third thing...
"Now, you get changed, Ko-kun and I'm going to head back into the living room. Feel free to join us, Shou-san. The television and satellite remotes are on the nightstand next to Ko-kun's milk. Oyasumi nasai, Ko-kun. It was quite an eye opener to play with a pianist as young and talented as yourself." Akihiko spoke, winking to the boy before leaving the room and allowing Shou to put the child to bed.
Heading down the hall, he finally came into the living room and shrugged. "Gomen... Guess I should've handled that differently..."

Izzy took in Yuuji's words and nodded while trying to put together anymore relevant thoughts. Seemed like once Yuuji started getting over the shock of it all he actually had some clear headed thoughts. "Mm...well I agree that we don't want him to turn into a little narcissistic b*****d." He laughed then was surprised by the hidden whiskey trove. But he took the glass and then said, "Because if he was like Akihiko used to be, I'd have to say I'd be putting the boy over my knee myself!"
He took a slip and continued to smile because he'd definitely do it. "However, Yuuji, with Shou's influence I don't think your boy will end up like that. Although..." As he thought about it further, "Mm...Shou's kind of off the beaten path...He's a terrible diva sometimes and has very high expectations. But I haven't seen him really express that nature with Ko yet. He's also, well moody. So...I guess that Ko will have to have good examples around him until we can get him to mentally recover from his trauma." Izzy wouldn't say that Shou was a bad example but the man didn't have all the eggs in the same basket. He was sometimes a complete fruitcake! "Akihiko likes your son. I can tell that. And he's already tried to convince Shou not to put him on the stage yet. But...to be honest, I don't think Shou agreed with him on that. But now this has come to light. Things might be different but honestly I don't know."
Taking a sip of his drink he agreed, "Yamada-san is the glue of Shou's stage world and...it seems there is a bit of that which is bleeding into the personal world. I am guessing you'll get a straighter answer from him." Then he sighed and took a moment to swallow. "Whatever serious trauma he's been through has created a real rift in his memories of his family. Obviously something is still in there by the way he reacted. But I can't begin to tell you what."
"Yes, I suppose you've had a lot more exposure...to that than any of us." Then for a moment he stared into his glass. "You're right. We can't just call him Hideo right now. But...Yes, safer hands." But..even so, he had to hope that using Shou as Ko's shield would be alright. The man wasn't stable. Although maybe however this had all happened, Ko falling into Shou's hands might just keep the Spider away.

"Well, I ...no... I mean I never tried until Ko gave me his clothes and said he had nothing to wear." The blond star blushed with embarrassment. But Ko seemed to know his way about the house with things so Shou was learning...slowly. "Indeed. He's a little trouper." Shou smiled weakly as he watched the star leave the room.
"Awh...Uncle Shou it's ok. You pay the bills and I'll keep you from cooking your hair like Yamada-san said you would." Ko comforted as Akihiko-niisan left to find him clothes. He tugged off his small shirt and handed it to Shou revealing the few small scars that were from nightmares he never wanted to remember. But none of that would ever happen in Uncle Shou's house. Shou was not evil...although very strange. He felt safe with the Oumori brothers. "You're not used to house work and I am so we make a great team."
"I guess so...but it doesn't seem very parent like does it?" asked Shou as he tried to ponder the meaning of being a parent but not coming up with good answers.
"Umm....well, every parent is different...right? Families work together right?" he questioned in return and then patted Shou's knee. "You're the best Uncle a kid like me could have. So don't do anything different. Just be Uncle Shou."
Shou didn't have time to respond before Akihiko walked back in with the shirt but he smiled as he looked at the offering. And again even before he could say something, Ko piped up, "Wow!!! Really?!" Ko took the shirt and looked at front and back then gave it a hug! "I will be my most favorite t-shirt for a long time!"
While his rival was musing about his failings, Shou was depressed about them. Certain areas of his life were so vacant. Some things he just didn't know. And even when he tried to search his memories he must have had a very errant mother because she never taught him any practical things. However, he could drive a car...but who had taught him how? He could run a music business, deposit money in the bank....do anything that related to...his musical world...but he could barely cook and wash his own clothes. Normally, people would learn some of these things as children but his memories of childhood held very few images. Tea..with his sister playing piano...and now a woman crying..and another piano that had a richer voice. But this was a normal life? Right? Shou would chalk it up to a busy life but the tune from that last piano stuck to his head as if it had something personal to say.
"Ok I will." said Ko as he started to pull of his socks. The words snapped Shou out of the thoughts that threatened to take him far away. But Ko continued to speak, "It was? Well, I've never played with anyone as good as you are. I want to do it again. You're fingers are so...nimble. I could feel where you were going with your notes. It was really...cool." Years from now, his heart felt expressions might use deeper words but he really meant was he was saying.
"I'll be there soon, Narcissus-san." Shou answered then turned to Ko. "Alright, let's get you all ready..squirt!"
He took the clothes Ko handed him and gather them into a small bundle. "I promise not to use too much soap...or...Narcissus-san will wash them." Then Shou leaned down and tucked the boy in all the way up to his chin before turning on the TV and choosing the appropriate channel. "Ah...Sword Art Online. You like that one, right?"
"You remembered!" Ko giggled and turned to watch the show.
"I'll check on you later." Shou said with a soft smile knowing everything would be ok now that the child was tucked in.

Meanwhile, Izzy looked over at Akihiko, "Could have gone better? What do you mean? Is H...I mean Ko ok?"

Dirty Little Secrets------------------------------------------------}:-  Yamada Haru
It's the Devil in the Details...
......What a tangled web we weave......
Haru sighed again as he looked at the phone while the rain poured outside. They had totally forgotten to hang the phone so Haru had heard a lot of things while the phone lay in the sound room. But then things when silent as the two men left. And there he was alone on the phone, so he hung up.
Grumbling to himself, he turned on the windshield wipers and look at the sky. Rain...more rain....crap! It wasn't going to stop so he shut off the car and ran back inside the building getting wet in the process. It sucked and his hair was soaked when he got inside.
A few minutes later, he walked into the apartment and this time he took off the coat when he took off the shoes. "Remind me that when Shou goes off on a tangent to just hang up. I think he wanted to decompress after today's event. I don't know. Half the conversation was just him babbling."
He flopped back down on the cough beside You...."Tadaima..." Feeling like a wet scraggly fox that had almost been drowned.

Dark eyes focused on the man who walked back in through the door. "Damn... you look like a drowned rat, Haru-kun." You spoke up from the sofa, not wanting to move because... well... he was finally quite comfortable with his leg up on the coffee table and head resting back. "I hope Shou-san appreciates what you do for him... that was ridiculous... making you stand out in the rain..."
Of course he didn't know his partner had been cozy in the car at the time, but still. Haru had gotten soaked to the bone.
"Maybe you should get a shower so you don't catch cold?" Ishihara suggested before pointing to the man's food. "After you finish eating of course." he smirked slightly, an obvious teasing glint in his eyes. "I promise I didn't eat your fries."
"Huh?" Akihiko blinked in surprise. "What? No no, he's fine. I just meant, well earlier. Me and my big mouth."
He blinked again, "And you didn't think to pour me any?" the musician asked, walking over to the liqour cabinet and pouring himself a glass of whiskey. "I'd hoped to break this to you easier but..."
"But I came over and so I'd have figured it out sooner or later?" Yuuji asked, finishing off his glass. The young Koyasu refilled his cousin's drink. "I know you meant well, Akihiko. Really. I just..."
"He has scars."
The statement was out of the blue but Narcissus shook his head and closed the cabinet. "I saw them when he put on one of my old t-shirts for pajamas."
"I imagine him to have them." Takagi replied, taking the news in stride. "This is Matsumoto we're talking about."
Akihiko sighed and walked over to Izzy, putting an arm around his hips, pulling the man close comfortably as they stood. "I know what he's capable of... remember?" the musician asked, blue gaze focused on his lover for a moment. Soon he looked back over to his cousin however. "He needs to stay with Shou-san. I'm sorry, Yuuji-kun but... well... he's attached. He doesn't need to be traumatized again by being ripped away from his 'uncle'."
For a long time, Yuuji didn't say anything. Instead he walked over to one of the living room's chairs and sat down, staring at the drink in his hands. "Wakatta yo..."

"Oh...that. Well...yeah. You were a bit quick on that. We have to tread carefully now." Izzy sighed as he took another swig of the whiskey and listened to the cousins talk. His eyes widened as he heard the news about scars and squeezed his glass a little tighter.
He didn't comment because he'd just get angry. Matsumoto was running rough shod over them and Izzy wasn't even sure what they could do to win against the Spider. That web was starting to get way to thick....
"Of course he's attached. Whether or not I'd like to admit it, Shou's got a way with...making people feel like their...well...able to be anyone they want to be. His magical world, I guess." Izzy had experienced that world on the boat. Beautiful at times and crazy too. He could see what made Shou the star he was and why he wasn't like most other people he had met.
"But that doesn't mean we are locked out of his world, Yuuji. We just have to slowly..." he glanced at Akihiko, "...slowly insert you and other things back into it. Maybe something will click. Either way we have to be persistent without overloading him...or..mm..." He didn't want to say 'pushing Shou over the edge', although he knew that the man had his...issues. "Let's just try to take this one step at a time. Ok?"

"Ok? What's Ok?" Shou questioned as he walked in to the room with a small pile of laundry in his hands. His masked head tilted to the side as he looked at the men. "I couldn't find the...mm...washing machine, Narcissus-san. Ko is all tucked in and watching SOA. I wonder if there is really a video game like that..."
Izzy smiled and shook his head seeing that the star was already off on another tangent. They'd have to bring him back on topic or he was apt to not come back to the important conversation. However, Izzy looked at their drink then looked at Shou's hands. "Why don't I get you a drink...mm...Chai tea?" He glanced at Narcissus because he didn't know if they had any but it was one of Shou's favorites beyond bottled waters of many fruity flavors. "I know you don't drink alcohol often expect..the fruity ones...mm...or would something else be good?" asked Izzy. He didn't know if Narcissus or Yuuji knew how to mix those kind of drinks. Even though Izzy was rather partial to them himself. He had never asked either men to make him cocktails.
"Ah...water would be fine I guess...or Chai tea. Ah..but everyone is drinking...mm...well you know Izzy, I'd be happy with milk too. Today has been a very long day...and I'm rather exhausted to be honest." said Shou without any sort of commitment.
Izzy glanced at the two other men for suggestions and a means to start the topic.

Dirty Little Secrets------------------------------------------------}:- Yamada Haru
It's the Devil in the Details...
......What a tangled web we weave......
He wanted to shake like a drowned rat but didn't want to get the water all over You so he sighed and got up to at least strip out of the wet clothes. "Maybe a shower is a good idea. But...yeah I'll eat the rest of that before I do. Awh it's probably cold" he called out from the other room and soon came back in a robe.
Sitting back down, he picked up his fries and looked them over. "You didn't?" he asked while noticing that the fries were a few less than before. "Uh huh..." He didn't believe a word of it. But he started eating because he was truly starving.
His other hand found the burger and soon his teeth were sinking in. "I think he does appreciate it but he's kind of well ...mm...all the stuff that has happened has made him into quite a handful to take care of day to day."
"Soo...You...What did you do today? How was your day? I mean...I know you've probably been here napping but did you get some time to read a good book? I bet..your fish has been happy you've been here." Haru asked not even knowing that the man had been out and about. If he knew he would have chastised him for sure.

You looked at his partner as if the man were crazy. "You're not serious, are you? Rest? Me? I wish..." sighing the man actually had a semi-pout. "I had to deal with Matsumoto-san most of the morning via phone and email... then I had to meet Ryuukaze-san for lunch to go over his blunder of kiss some unknown in the middle of a damn restaurant..." again he sighed, dark eyes closed as the PR man just tried to relax. "By the time I got home late this afternoon I was exhausted, still had more work to do for Matsumoto-san, then finally got to close my laptop and take a break." but then Ishihara laughed softly. "Next thing I knew I was in bed... wonder how that happened, ne?" he shook his head, sighing a third time. "I wouldn't mind just staying in bed, you know? But I simply can't afford to right now... we both know that."
Akihiko smiled, "Let me fix you some Chai tea then, Shou-san. It's the least I can do since you're a guest after all." he spoke, setting his glass down on the coffee table and heading into the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Yuuji turned to the man and fixed him with a similar smile, walking over and taking the laundry from Shou's hands. "I'm sure I can get this into the wash before bed." he said, setting it aside. "If my cousin hadn't suggested making you tea, I'd have gladly mixed you a drink." Takagi acted as host, indicating for Shou to sit down and get comfortable.
He understood a musician's exhaustion before than most in the business who weren't on the creation end.
A few moments later, Akihiko returned and handed Shou a coffee mug of hot chai before picking up his own glass of whiskey once more and taking a sip. "I am sorry for shocking Ko-kun like that though, Shou-san. It wasn't my intention. I guess I was afraid Yuuji-kun would say something stupid... and instead I did."
Takagi smirked, "You always were the first one to speak up." he said, eyes flickering to Shou. "I'm sorry it shocked you too, Shou-san. That... also... probably wasn't Akihiko's intention either."

"Yeah........I do owe him as much...." those bright red eyes seemed to lose a little of their shine as Ryuukaze looked past Kou for a moment, off into an unknown distance. There were so many thoughts, pains, uncertainties....the vocalist simply couldn't process them all. Instead, he chose to ignore them, at least until he no longer could. "Airline travel? Oh...well, I haven't had this all that long, really. Haven't been on any flights since. But no...it doesn't hurt." he smiled, though behind that silly grin, he remembered Naoko...crying, screaming, hurting him...though he hadn't meant to bash his skull in like he had...it had been that moment, he was sure, that had finally broken the pianist beyond all repair. "You can touch it, if you like. It's not really creepy or anything. Just a little bit harder than my head normally is..." he laughed, making a jab at his own stubborn, foolish nature. A nature that had brought an innocent man to his knees once before...who was to say it wouldn't again? Destruction always lie in the wake of his folly...even Jun was an example of that. If it hadn't been for him... Ryu blinked and sighed, trying not to let even a hint of his dark thoughts leak out to Kimura. That was the last thing he wanted, to taint the happy light he had found any more than he already had simply by coming in contact with it. Quickly, the violinist pecked a kiss on the host's cheek. "Tit for tat..." he teased, enjoying the little game they had going. ~ Sou boku no sekai wo nurikaete mitai ~
