"No, I got his voicemail." Nakai spoke, walking back in with a baggie filled with ice and another towel.
Carefully he held the bag on one of Chiyou's burns that he hadn't quite gotten the ointment to yet.
"You're not an idiot. The dog needs a bell on her collar so you know when she's about. Hell if I were half asleep I probably would've tripped on her. And easy mistake. I stepped on her foot the other day making a late night turkey sandwich. She's a dog and associates the kitchen with food."
The blond removed the ice pack, letting Chiyou put more ointment on his burns. Setting it aside, Kai checked his phone but no reply to the voicemail.
Once they figured out the 'kid' wasn't going to need a medic, they'd pretty much just treated the burns themselves. Of course Nakai knew he needed to go in to the studio... but Chiyou really needed someone close by.
"Wait, why do you want to go shopping?" the guitarist asked, fixing the 'kid' with a confused stare.

"I'm sure that Ryuukaze-san will arrive at his own time. He did seem to like Hayato-san so I wouldn't see why he wouldn't show here." added Shou after Naoko had formed his own reply. Of course, Shou already knew from Izo that Ryuukaze was starting to move on to his own solo career. That would mean he'd eventually need a new violinist. But that could be handled after the new year.

"Events like this are enough to give any man a headache." Shou replied dryly as his chaotic eyes shifted as he watched the dark star. He did have a slight headache coming on and he knew why but certain now was not the time for any uncomfortable trading of places between him and his other self.

"Mm..Yes, he spent much time with us butI think more than Naoko-kun and I, his fans will harbor a deeper loss. He was too young to pass so quickly. I know he had many brilliant songs left to sing...that he wanted to sing." Shou spoke like a true vocalist but gave away nothing of Naoko's feelings or his own. His own relationship with Jun would never see the light of day from his lips even now except in one song.

He dearly missed the man; his cooking...his warm arms around him at night, the conversation plus sensual unmentionables. If things had gone differently, he wondered where they would have been today. Would they have worked it out? Only Time would have told that tale but Fate chose a different path and he regretted that. Undecided...always Undecided.

The song filtered through his head and he nodded to Azriel, "Arigatou gozaimasu."

Crystal's eyes blue as they were one could see the ice that hid in the depths of that water and the warmth that she held in the liquid therein. "Izo became quite a dangerous man after Kaori died. I know he probably blamed Aki for her death. Maybe he even thought that he murdered her. The greatest rivals born out of the greatest hatred. So, now you know why Izo was hell bent to destroy Aki's Empire. And Aki so exuberant to protect it. Even though, I can't condone the man that Izo has become."

"Not many can do that...Takagi-kun." She looked at her hands as if thinking upon that, "I don't know what happened to your son. I'm not sure I want to know. Izo never could sing but he always had the ear for music. He wanted to created the greatest star that would burn brightest in the heavens. I wonder...." But she didn't continue her thoughts because she didn't have enough knowledge to formulate the truth.

"Yes, I pity him but if he's anything like his father, he's a fighter too." She walked over and looked at the screen closely. "If I didn't see it for myself...Kaori's looks....Izo's eyes. He tried to hide his features, but he's devilishly handsome and graceful....Looks a lot like you, Akihiko-kun."

"I respect those words Akihiko-kun. It marks you for a man who has grown up beyond the constraints your grandfather wove around you. You're going to have to work hard to keep Ohayou from Izo's hands." She smiled softly at Akihiko knowing it would be tough on him to reach that high even as a star there was so much for him to learn.

"Revenge will just put you on the same path as Izo. And Akihiko-kun, in his eyes, you'll never equal Aki as his rival...none of you will. But don't think he'll underestimate you. He's too much of a competitor to do that." She pointed out and then added, "But, remember that eventually, Izo will announce his heir. If it is Katsumi, then be rest assured that the boy will be as strong as Izo and as fierce. Your rival will be in the next generation." ...as long as Matsumoto and Koyasu live.

"Yes, I have to agree...they both are to blame. You'll never find more star crossed rivals as Aki and Izo." she humbly admitted and wish that it could have been different.

When you bring Ohayou up and can face Izo like that, I'll be first to toast your accomplishment. But remember, the spider has a very dangerous web. You need to get control of your anger, Akihiko-kun. And realize that right now, you seem like a fly in his eyes. So...Rukuro and I will do our best to help you from our place on the Board. Izo still respects the Rivals of our generation and a few of us are still alive." She stepped away from the monitor and looking at her wrist watch knowing that her husband was probably conversing with several of them now.

 

[Kaikoloren]

Meanwhile in the studio, Ko was fully mesmerized by the keyboard. His fingers skimmed over the keys plucking notes out of the air. He tried out so many sounds some good some bad. The boy feverishly ran through permutations of the mixing console and the 100s of instrument voices.

"OH Oh! So many sounds! I can see...hear it!" The boy squealed with delight and started fiddling with the track sequencer. His fingers started to shake uncontrollably for a moment and soon forced him to set them on the keys to start playing the tune in his head. The song had to come out.

Once he started playing he could watch the screen as it recorded his notes. His fingers lifted and played with a life of their own. He occasionally paused once the shaking subsided to the ebony and ivory to figure out how to change the accompaniment. "I could make a symphony on keyboard! I need..." he glanced around. "I need a few of these!"

But their was only one in the room...so he'd have to make due. He raced over to the place where Akihiko pointed out the paper and grabbed several sheets. "I'll help Uncle Naoko! But I need to learn more about the keyboard! But I want to play on it! Oh Foo..."

He sighed and walked over to the keyboard then dragged over another small table to put the paper on it. With his right hand he start scratching out notes. With the other hand and his eyes on the keyboard he started fiddling with the controls again trying to learn how to make the machine do as he wished.

(((OOC: I decided that Hiroki and Azriel have 007 theme songs, hehe. Hiroki's is "Die Another Day" while Azriel's is "The World Is Not Enough" I also think the song "The Experience of Love" which was the ending credits song for "Goldeneye" could apply to Yuuji... especially given his exploits with Michi and Shou both. Just depends on your definition of "loving"... "Surrender" which is the ending credits song for "Tomorrow Never Dies" makes me kinda think of Izo and his web or Aki and his pawns because the lyrics are playing off the movie premise of Carver writing news headlines before the news happens so it makes me think of their planning ahead. "Live and Let Die" is so totally Haru's theme song, hahaha!

I loaded all the Bond themes into my itunes so I've been listening to them a lot today. I want to rip a few of my soundtracks onto my laptop... man I wish I had my VCR... I have all the Bond movies on VHS but only Goldeneye, Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace on DVD. Only reason I have Goldeneye on DVD is because I lost my VHS of it for a while (found it when moving though)... but the VCR and all my Bond tapes are in storage... most of them are recorded straight off the old TBS Bond Marathons that used to play around New Years every year, but I've got some old VHS from rental stores that I've picked up... and of course all the Brosnan ones bought as soon as they originally came out, hehe.

I may watch Quantum of Solace tonight... been trying to for a few days but I kept getting distracted by the Star Trek movie marathon on IFC. I need to move the DVD player in the living room into my bedroom though because the stupid PS2 doesn't want to read s**t for some reason. Guess I need to open it up and clean it again... -sigh-

But um yeah, original point of this OOC was that I'm trying to find different Bond songs for our different characters.)))













Azriel nodded slightly, "I suppose that is true... this is my first funeral to attend and certainly I can understand that feeling." he sighed softly, looking up at the ceiling. "Ah to be immortal..."
"Hayato-san achieved immortality, Azriel-san. His music lives when he does not." Naoko spoke up, understanding that concept well.
To leave a lasting mark on the world.
Katsu smiled. "I do suppose you're right. He left a mark on the world through his music. A far better way to be remembered... There are so many who die without touching another heart in this world. One should be glad he had the chance to touch so many."

Yuuji stood from his chair, excusing himself in order to get a coffee refill. In truth, he hated to be reminded of Kaori's death... hated to think about the flames he'd fueled...
So while his cousin was gone, Akihiko took the chance to speak privately with Crystal. His blue eyes focused on the woman and strangely, the young man smiled. "I enjoy a challenge... it means I've more to offer and that I just have to push myself higher. For a long time I was... complacent in my roll. Ohayou's star. But now there's something more that I can fight toward. And I know the fight will be hard... I know that if Azriel is Katsumi and if SMASH is left to him, then I'll have a rival who understands the music same as I. But until that happens, I will be focused on keeping this company safe from that web. Izo has never thought of me as anything more than a spoiled brat who's musical talents are his only worth. I'll prove him wrong." comfortable on the chaise, Akihiko leaned back, looking up at the ceiling. "Ojisan wanted so much of me... and I seem to have only disappointed him in the end. Perhaps this is my way of appeasing the dead... He maneuvered me perfectly... I'll learn to do the same... but unlike him, men won't suffer for the sake of victory." blue eyes flickered back to Crystal. "My anger is a problem, yes. I've a short fuse... I'm hot headed... I leap before I think... I'm used to bullying my way to whatever I want. I have to change that... but I've already changed so much..." he smiled, winking to the woman. "One step at a time, ne?"

What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:-

Asato Hiroki
Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions

The world has....changed

Deep in conversation with the Rivals of the Music Industry, Hiroki was very focused on what each individual was saying. He only felt slightly out of his comfort zone knowing that Aki wasn't there to back up his words but...he still had the man's knowledge about the business even if he wasn't as graceful as the older tiger had been.

During the lull, someone spoke to him and drew his attention but that same noise also drew the eyes of the other Chairmen he was conversing with. His dark eyes turned and focused on Nezumi with a polite smile, "Thank you, it is good to see you as well, Nezumi-san. I hope you had a happy holiday."

"Nezumi-san?" Matsumoto Izo said as he glanced just around the Elephant's broad shoulders. "Ah one of your managers. I see. Worked the Charity event right?"

Hiroki nodded, "Yes he was working backstage for that event organizing..." Hiroki didn't get a chance to finish when another spoke up.

"Oh? So this is one of your's Hiroki-san?" Goshiro added and moved just enough look the mousy man over with a scrutinizing eye. "Ah...nice shoes. I know that brand. A good fit usually."

"You would notice the shoes, Yukio. Next thing you'll be telling us is where he bought them." Ishi Rukuro laughed along with Nihon and Genki's Label Chairmen.

"Of course! Shoes are a good sign at how much the person cares for appearances." Goshiro said knowingly with a sly smile. The Hydra of Go Label was very fashionable. But today most of the men before Nez were dressed exceptionally well. Although Goshiro's comment caused a couple of them to peer down at their own feet. And a few other people near by obviously listening in on the conversation.

Matsumoto snickered, "Hiroki-san, well your manager had passed at least one of Goshiro-san's tests. But..." he glanced towards the temple and a frowned formed on his lips, "Gentlemen, I believe we should make our way inside. Time for me to pay my respects to a star I will dearly miss."

Hiroki wondered if it were the star or the money that Izo would miss the most. He really didn't have a chance to properly introduce the mousy manager to any of the men but Nez probably could figure out who was who considering his own position at Ohayou.

"So are we still going to all get together after Aki's funeral to talk business? asked Nihon's label chairmen.

"Yes... I'll send everyone the location once it's acquired. Nothing against you Hiroki-san but Aki sudden death surely wasn't the most graceful exit he's ever performed." Goshiro commented with slight roll of his eyes.

"I'm sure he never intended to leave the group so abruptly." Hiroki answered with a furrowed brow. Although the thought did disturb the Elephant of Ohayou. Aki just wasn't the type...to leave anything so undone. But then again, Death wasn't the type to treat anyone differently. "Ah...Nezumi-san you're free to go inside and sit anywhere you feel comfortable." His air was distant and very polite but considering the crowd that surround him, it was only appropriate. No one was letting down their guard.

-:{------------------------------------------------No Sir!
...Where you Lead - that is the Path I Follow.

 

[Kaikoloren]

"Aki expected too much from you and did a horrible job of communicating with you. Even though he was a master at manipulation, he didn't do so well when it came to family. I don't think you're a disappointment. You're young, spoiled and need to start thinking before you act but you've many good qualities. I wouldn't be happy if Ruki were with an idiot." she said with a sigh as she walked over and picked up her cup to finish the last of her coffee. "Ah...its' all gone.."

Setting it down, she seemed thoughtful about the future, "Mm....Izo has many more years at least if something doesn't happen to him. I believe that he'll groom Katsumi to take his place if he does go with blood as an heir. Katsumi is very young though so Izo might take his time. He's not father material but he knows what it takes to run Smash.

Crystal glanced up at the ceiling were Akihiko was gazing and bit her lip, "So hopefully, you can get your act together in that time. Hiroki-kun probably can run the company like a champ but he's not Aki. You'll have to keep an eye on him if he is seeing Katsumi. Izo won't be afraid to threaten Hiroki-kun if he's playing Katsumi as a pawn." That part worried her because Hiroki had been very much engineered by Aki to fit a certain mold. But it seemed like something had changed....she was curious to meet Matsumoto Katsumi and that might explain a few things. Was he as talented as Akihiko?

"Yes, one step at a time. But I think you can do it. Ruki will be here to help you." she smiled and walked over sitting on the edge of the chaise. "You're a naughty flirt just like me." She reached over and took Akihiko's hand then pulled him in for a warm motherly hug. "Things will get better for you. Oh...and if you ever do want to get married to Ruki, you know the US has several states now that allow it." she winked at the younger man keeping him close. Then she paused for a long moment and added softly, "Also...if you want to just let out some of those heavier feelings, it's ok. You don't need to hold everything inside Akihiko-kun. You've so many here that love you."

Shou frowned for a moment in thought, it was his first funeral as well. Although he had a notion that his other self had attended a funeral before. "I'm surprised considering your haunting musical style. I would have expected you to have attended one before. Then maybe Hayato-san's funeral will give you inspiration...If so, then I'm sure he would be happy."

The mercurial star glanced toward the entry to the temple then sighed watching the chairmen finally enter. Things probably would be starting within the next 30 minutes. He could see the priests preparing the various things about the altar. "After we pick up Ko, I think I'd like to stop by the Swallowtail Pastry Shop and pick up some chai...and a few pastries." It was the same place where Azriel had shopped before. "Maybe see a movie...I don't know. I'd really like to do something relaxing and unrelated to work today." Shou said to Naoko with a calm face that covered up the feeling of anxiety that was felt deeper within.

-:{------------------------------------------------Cause it’s about to get rough for you

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

Laughing softly, Akihiko gazed at Crystal. "Really? I don't think he expected too much. I mean... yeah I can agree with a lack of communication skills between the two of us. He was never around to actually tell me what to do. I played music... started singing... then came the contract with Ohayou and the girls and the boys and the late nights. Asato had to clean up a LOT of messes and pay off a lot of people when I was younger. It was my way of acting out I guess. When it didn't get attention I started resenting ojisan and Asato both. Both of them expected me to take an interest in the business... but all I was interested in was making music and having fun. Ojisan expected me to follow in his footsteps. That's not too much to ask." he young tiger shrugged before smiling slightly. He pulled out his cell phone, sending Yuuji a text to bring the coffee pot and tray into the study... or at least send the butler to do it.
"Izo being a father scares the hell out of me to be quite honest." Akihiko replied, thinking about the spider raising young. "How could he hide a child away this long? Where's Katsumi been? It worries me... I mean, they know what to expect from me for the most part... but what are we to expect from Katsumi? Is he like his father? Does he even know Izo's his father for that matter?" sighing, the musician couldn't help but look back up at the ceiling. "I grew up without a father... did Katsumi? But... well you're right, Crystal-san... If they're seeing each other... Izo holds the rope to Asato's own noose. We just freed Yuuji from that damn web... now we have to pull Asato out too? The spider has the power to take Katsumi away... and if Asato DOES feel for him... can he just let him go? Would he do what's right for the company and the people there... or would he seek his own happiness?" Akihiko shook his head, eyes closing as he thought on the entire situation.
The young Koyasu felt the chaise move slightly, felt Crystal take his hand then pull him into a hug. For a long time, Narcissus didn't respond. She was right of course... he knew it. Holding everything in was hard.
He'd been doing it for so long... throwing the mask of Narcissus up to pull back his true feelings. Business talk kept his mind off it... Ko-kun being in the house kept his mind off it... Izzy being sick kept his mind off it... Having Crystal and Rukuro here as guests kept his mind off it...
"I wouldn't mind letting go some of those feelings... but I can't." Akihiko whispered, pulling back from the hug and smiling softly to the woman beside him. "If Ruki were to walk in... it would worry him. He has enough on his mind. Yuuji's got a full plate... hell he can't even be with his son because there's so much to do. I've already burdened them both with the display I put on last night... burdened Asato too." gently he rested his hands on Crystal's shoulders. "I'm fine, Crystal-san. I can't be anything but fine."
At about that time the butler came in with the coffee tray which Yuuji had sent. The man explained that Takagi was getting something to eat before returning. A few moments later the butler left once more.
Standing from the chaise, Akihiko took Crystal's cup and refilled it from the tray. "For a long time I thought no one loved me. That it was just for my music or my money or the popularity and privilege. Ruki was the first one who loved me for me, Crystal-san. I know that I'm surrounded by people who look past my monetary worth and love and care for the man I've become. But I won't cry in front of them again. Not about this. I'm sorry." he apologized, handing Crystal her coffee.

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

"I hadn't thought of it that way..." Azriel spoke, pondering Shou's words.
Maybe he SHOULD pay attention to the funeral...

About that time however, the bat spied Izo and others heading into the temple. His dark gaze fixed itself on Hiroki as the man entered. The elephant of Ohayou looks calm... confident...
For a few seconds the pain in Katsu's head returned, but he pushed it down and away. He couldn't let the reader out. Not here. Not now.
Lithe fingers clad in black gloves reached up, pressing against his temple as the lingering pain faded. It would have appeared that the man just had a simple headache.
Nishikawa, who was in attendance as Azriel's bodyguard stepped forward and whispered to the star, wondering if he needed to be excused. But Katsu waved him away, saying it was nothing.

 

[Kaikoloren]

She shook her head, "Yes, he did. He magically thought you'd become the man he wanted you to be. He surely manipulated many things, my Ruki included but he could never capture your heart and soul for his own designs. He must have thought you were more shallow than you really were. He didn't understand love...sadly. And expecting you to follow in his footsteps and being willing to do so are two different things."

"But I must say I feel sorry for Hiroki-kun having to suffer your antics growing up. You've probably left quite an impression on the man." she scolded, "And now you have to work with him. I hope you are a better business partner than boy he had to babysit." Her finger wagged at Akihiko almost like Izzy...so that's where the manager the finger wag from.

"Izo as a father should scare you. It scared Izo so that must tell you what he thought about fatherhood. And who knows. I never saw that child at any events in my days. I feel sorry for the boy. I'm sure he has a load of problems. If he's anything like his music." She tapped her lip and was thoughtful about the situation, "Yes, I think that might be the case. Izo has a way of capturing pawns. So...as for Hirorki-kun and Katsumi...first figure out if he's seeing the young man, then, mm....maybe confront Katsumi? Izo? or both...mmm... That would be one way to handle it. Pointing out that you're aware and watching. Or...you could play a different game and make like you're unaware, keep an eye Hiroki-kun's work...etc. Or...another avenue is to talk to Hiroki-kun. But if he is in love, he might not be able to give clear answers. Mmm...Izo won't play his pawns so soon after Aki's death with this contract. But you know eventually at the end of the year, he will start up again."

She let Akhiko go after that hug and nodded slowly, "Well...I'm here if you want to talk, let go...or cry. And Ruki is stronger than you think even if he's a worry wart."

Crystal watched as the butler came and went. She actually wondered what the butler felt about all the things happening around him. That man had lived through many years of Aki, Hiroki, Akihiko....he knew so much. As the man left she watched as Akihiko poured the coffee.

"You say that now." she took the coffee, "But remember, you're only human. Keep that in mind and choose your moment before the moment chooses you."

 

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

"Both Yuuji and I will watch Asato. I don't want to confront Izo about it because that could open a new can of worms and I don't want Asato to think we're forbidding him from seeing Katsumi if that's the case." Akihiko understood the want to be with one you love. He wouldn't put Hiroki through that again. "I'll ask Asato about Azriel... find out if they're seeing one another and then just pass it off as my own curiosity. Yuuji bringing it up could be dangerous... but I can chalk it up to just wondering about the rival musician who wears my face..." Akihiko smiled, sitting back down on the chaise beside Crystal. "You and Ruki both do that." he teased, indicating the woman's wagging finger. "As if I'd done something wrong." the smile on Narcissus' face however betrayed how endearing the action was to him. "Asato and I are on much better terms now... and I promised to never break his nose again." the young man nodded, setting the record straight. "I'm human, yes. But I've had a lot of practice hiding my own pain. Right now I've got Ruki, the company, my performances, practice, and a little boy in my studio who's probably writing a symphony right now to worry about. Grief just takes a back seat. Tomorrow I'll have to leave Ruki so I can run through my set. Once I've got the shows finished... I promise... I'll grieve properly. Is that better?"

 

[Kaikoloren]

"True...forbidding him wouldn't obtain the right response. At least, I don't think it would. Hiroki-kun mm...he's all your grandfather's business know but I know very little about him on the personal side of things. So advising you on how to move forward is difficult. You probably have a good idea as to what ticks him off and how he handles that."

Then she chuckled, "I learned it from my mother and Ruki learned it from me. He was really a troublesome boy in his youth. He had my finger wagging non stop some days."

She sipped her cup. The coffee was a fine blend of flavors that left a warm feeling and not so bitter aftertaste. "You better not break his nose again! I'll come straight to Japan and put you over my knee if you do." threatened Crystal as her blue eyes focused on Akihiko's blues with a wink, "Young man, I will enjoy spanking you so you best not get out of line."

Crystal laughed, "A symphony, my boy...seriously? I doubt that." She obviously didn't believe that Ko could create such a masterpiece even if he were so skilled with the piano. "He might be good at playing the piano but writing a symphony is a lot more work. You have to be able to hear a range of instruments. If he is that good, then you best put that child under contract because god knows if word gets out, Shou will have every label under the rising sun trying to snag the boy."

"Yes, I can accept that promise as long as you keep it. And you probably have guessed that Ruki won't give up on sing if he can some how get his sick butt on stage."

It was then there was a ring at the gate. The physician had finally arrived.  

[Nileregwen DoUrden]

"I bet I'd enjoy it." Akihiko replied with a mischievous wink before bursting into laughter.
Oh god!
How he had tried to come up with ways to get Izzy on stage!
Grinning, the young man couldn't help looking off to the side before it really was humorous... embarrassing.
"Least I won't make him wear pie." Narcissus couldn't help it! "I'd once threatened Ruki that I'd pull him on stage as my lover and serenade him... if he gets his sick butt on stage, that's exactly what I'm doing. He better think twice before getting out of that bed."
Akihiko couldn't make the grin go away, thinking about the pie wearing dreams his partner had had the night before. It really was funny...
The ring at the gate was answered by security who let the physician pass through. Standing, Narcissus offered Crystal a hand up from the chaise. "Would you like to listen to Ko-kun play while the doctor checks Izzy? It will be the same room, for the most part, just a glass door between the two."

Meanwhile, Yuuji took up the butler's duty of answering the door and quickly showed the physician upstairs to a still sleeping Izzy Lucky's bedside.

 

[Kaikoloren]

"Oh you would? Would you?" She crossed her arms and stared at the young man. Ruki sure had gotten himself quite a handful when he decided that Akihiko was the one. Just looking at that mischievous grin told her that her nephew was in for trouble.

"Pie!? Oh no...if you put him just in pie, you better not take him on stage! How embarrassing!" she even blushed for a second thinking about that. Well, you might keep him off stage for certain if you threaten him like that." She started laughing with Akihiko because the thought of the crazy ideas the boy had was very refreshing.

Crystal took his hand and stood up from the chaise. "Alright. That might be nice. While I don't think any boy his age really composes symphonies on his own, except maybe if they are Hayden or Bach, I'd be happy to listen to him. It would be a lot more fun than hearing my nephew complain about being sick. I know he's way too like me to just be content to stay in bed."
