"Yomete..." Naoko whispered, pain flaring through his head.
He stood there, not fighting back against the hands that held him.
His head would be pounding soon after that... his lip split from Ryu's backhand...
"You think I like this?" the musician hissed, feeling rather defeated. "You think I love him because of the pain? So what, you think you can keep me around if you hit me a few times?"
Naoko's amber eyes flashed dangerously. "You're as insane as he is..."
Pushing, the pianist shoved Ryu off of him and he stepped forward from the wall.
"He... he did things to me that I'm not proud of, alright? Things that some twisted sick part of me enjoyed! I don't want you to be a broken mess like I am... I don't want him taking you away from me! He takes everything away, don't you get it?! EVERYTHING!"
Sighing, Naoko ran a hand over his eyes, tears clinging to his fingers as he tried to keep himself together.
"You're just like Sai, Ryu... you both think I can just walk away from him. Well I can't. Excuse me for being locked in his closet for three ******** months! Excuse me for being forced to show his friends a good time! Excuse me for trying to just stay alive, damn it!"
He was breaking again... Naoko knew it. His walls were falling down as the anger coursed through him, and before long he would be nothing more than a sobbing mess.
He knew it... oh how he knew it...
"I dance around it, I hide it, because I'm ashamed of it! I loved it... and I'm ashamed of that!" his voice broke, and it took every ounce of willpower to keep from collapsing. "If you think that by becoming him, you can somehow win me to you... you're wrong. Because in doing so... you would destroy what I loved about you..."
Turning away again, Naoko made as if to re-enter the hospital room once more.
"... the fact that you treated me... like a person."

"You're as insane as he is..." The words echoed in Ryu's mind, snapping him out of his twisted rage. Naoko shoved him back and stepped away as Ryu watched, feeling as though he could simply lie down and die right there. How could he have done such a thing? Had he really gone mad? He had never...he would never...but he just had. "What have I done..." he whispered, looking at Naoko's tear stained face. "No. No..." he reached out, touching the blood coming from Naoko's mouth. Naoko turned to leave him. Ryu stepped forward, grabbing Naoko again from behind, but this time he held him gently. "I'm so sorry...so, so sorry." he choked out, pushing the urge to cry down into the pit of his stomach. "I'm just..I...I'm so afraid, Naoko...I'm so goddamn afraid..." and it was the truth. Ryu was terrified. Of loosing Naoko. Of loosing himself. Of what he had done. And now...of...Hayato. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

K a i - H i g u r iKai didn't trust that Narcissus was telling the complete truth as Narcissus explained his reasoning for being with Izzy. Sure, the idea could have been true, but not telling the complete truth was basically like lying. Kai knew that there was more, but it was none of his business. Though his actions, Izzy had shown Kai that it was none of his business... Kai tried not to get pulled into that slight sense of betrayal again. It was childish. There had been nothing there in the first place between them, even two nights ago...
Shaking himself out of it, Kai remained silent as the phone was handed over to Izzy. Sit down and talk my a**... Kai wasn't in a great mood this morning, mostly because of Ryu, then yesterday's stupid events, then finding out this morning that he had completely misunderstood the situation between Akihiko and Izzy. Boy that last part felt nice to find out... It wasn't as if Kai was against a meeting... he just didn't really want to be around both Izzy and Koyasu at the same time. Frankly, he didn't want to see any lovey-dovey stuff, considering that he had thought Izzy sort of detested Narcissus two nights ago. Finding out that he was wrong again and again about his educated assumptions wasn't a nice feeling. But of course, this was business. It had to be done.
Kai listened to Izzy's excited ramble, holding back a chuckle and a comment about how Izzy worried more than a mother hen. It was nice how even in Kai's relatively dark mood, Izzy could make him want to chuckle. It was the mark of a good manager.
However, when Izzy did finish, Kai found himself laughing ever so quietly.
"All right. Let's take this one part at a time. First of all, no, I didn't do anything on that schedule. I'm sorry for that, but I had... issues with that person I told you I was meeting. I wasn't really in any mood yesterday to do much else... Again, I do apologize." Kai was trying to keep this business like, but he couldn't help the smile that kept creeping back into his expression and his voice. "Secondly, Izzy... san"—sure, they had gone by no honorifics two nights ago, but that was just... something odd—"I..." He was about to mention that he had a few questions, but then Kai remembered that they were sort of personal and not something a star would ask his manager, such as 'how the hell did Narcissus end up under your management?' so he decided to just put the questions aside. "It's up to you. I'm fine with it either way." If they met at Izzy's, then at least it'd be out of the public eye, since Nakai didn't feel like dealing with that right now. Then again, if it was in the public, then there'd be less of a chance that there'd be ny lovey-dovey show between those two, which could save Kai a headache. Either way was good.N a k a i J u n - N a g a s a k iThe doctor tried to keep himself out of his patient's business as possible, but the subject was getting a little crazy for even him to not think of. What was this about a kidnapping? Had he heard that right? Well, those two seemed to be fine being around Hayato, so perhaps Hayato wasn't a serial killer or something. After all, he had been mysteriously dropped off here by an ambulance, only identified as Hayato, lead singer in a band. They didn't have his birth name, which he apparently kept as a secret, so it was hard to do any background checks. The doctors just figured that he couldn't do much considering that he was in a coma. But now that he was awake... The doctor decided to give Hayato the benefit of the doubt, letting those two argue however they wished outside. He was already developing a little headache, and was thankful that they had carried on elsewhere—though he could still hear through the door.
The doctor spoke in a gentle voice to Hayato, noticing that his gaze had followed Naoko right out of the room. Hayato had seen Naoko's arms so lovingly wrapped around the other's neck. Though his mind could barely register that at the moment, he would remember it and think on it deeply later.
"Hayato-san... Can you hear me? Clearly?"
Though the doctor didn't get an audible answer, the answer was obvious due to the fact that Hayato's gaze then landed on the doctor, deciding to leave the subject of Naoko alone for a moment. Naoko's presence, however, did clear up his mind a lot quicker than usual, since Naoko had struck some chord deep within him, and memory upon memory came flooding back. Life came back to Hayato in waves.
Hayato tried to smile, but nothing happened. Only his eyes could move for the moment. Damn recovery.
"Can you move anything, Hayato-san?"
Hayato tried to move a couple of his fingers, but found that it was impossible still. He could feel them, but they just wouldn't respond. He tried to say something, but found that his vocal chords didn't work either. But at least his mind was regaining its capabilities quite quickly, as he started registering the things around him—doctor, nurse, hospital, lights, window... Naoko. Naoko. Naoko. If nothing else, Hayato certainly registered that name. He would never forget.
The doctor waited to see something shift, but nothing happened. As if to answer, Hayato moved his eyes rapidly back and forth, almost as if in a negative shake of the head, but this time of the eyes. It made him look slightly insane, but the doctor was used to such. Of course, Hayato's overall look and the feel he gave off made it just a tad bit creepier for the doctor, but he could bear it.
"Well, we're glad you're awake."
The doctor reached out a hand to gently pat Hayato's shoulder, but stopped when Hayato's gaze fell on the hand. Something gave the doctor the idea that Hayato probably didn't want to be touched right now.
"I'm almost done checking things over... Then we can soon start on your steps to full recovery."
The doctor gave Hayato a bright smile and then turned to continue checking various devices and writing things down. He spoke a bit to the nurse, who was just staring at Hayato, a little unsure of what to do. The nurse promptly turned and went over to the door. She opened it, to be greeted by the sight of Naoko right at the door, about to walk in, with a bloody lip and various other injuries inflicted by those two hits. She stepped back a bit, blinked in surprise, then looked past Naoko to Ryu, who was grabbing Naoko's hand. Lover's dispute? She was a nurse. She couldn't well leave a person hurt like that.
Not sure what happened, she gave a slightly accusatory glance at Ryu, then turned back to Naoko. Stepping out of the door, she gently pushed Naoko back and closed the door once again.
"Sir... Do you mind coming with me?"H a y a t o

Ryu was about to beg a bit more, but then that bothersome nurse came out again, taking one look at Naoko before glaring at Ryu. Great...this was all he needed. Time to swallow sadness and fear and just man up. Acting was one of Ryu's strong suits, so here he went. "Pardon, miss, but he really does mind. You see, my best friend here needs to get back in there. That is his boyfriend who just woke up, they need to be together." he answered for Naoko. He felt it was the least he could do to try and shield Naoko from any more worry, what after the terrible things he had just done. Ryu didn't deserve Naoko after that. Perhaps it would be best to let him go after all...but...but still....to let him go to someone like Hayato.... Ryu couldn't bring himself to think about that, much less to think about his life without Naoko in it. Indeed, the violinist was going to wind up completely shattered before this was all said and done, but he would do as he always did...keep driving forward, keep pushing through, keep putting the pieces back together. Keep protecting what mattered most to him. "Naoko...go to him. If you really, really are happy, then...maybe...its ok to have your cake and eat it too." he whispered in the blond's ear, opening the hospital door and pushing him in, closing it behind the pianist. Turning back to the nurse, Ryu glared, his red eyes truly resembling a demon. "I highly suggest you leave him alone." the violinist growled before hobbling over to a chair outside of the hospital room and plopping down, exhausted. My god....this is insanity... Ryu thought to himself. But, hey, we're all mad here...Ryu wasn't letting Naoko go...but there had to be a way, some way, somehow, that he could make this all work out. He was simply to tired to think on it anymore right now. Closing his eyes, he let the darkness come. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

What a shock, it was so surprising,
You looked so small and frail------------------------------------------------}:-  Izzy Lucky
At times life can be so enlightening .uoy no nrut nac ti tuB
It wasn't that Izzy would call Nakai...Kai, it was that little fact that Izzy was a very protective individual when it came to his stars and the perceptions around them. It was something he shared individually with his stars...if he felt close enough to them. Of course, calling Kai by his more intimate name had been...an accident but it had stuck. However, he kept formal appearances in public. Koyasu-san was...in his opinion, the public standing so close by. Well, he'd never even consider calling Koyasu-san...Akihiko and Nakai...Kai if both were in the same room. And the circumstances where he might, would NEVER HAPPEN!
Izzy smiled brightly when he heard the small chuckle in the background and hoped that Kai was in a good mood. That might improve the whole world around him considering everything else that had happened recently. But then Kai told him...he hadn't done Anything on the schedule. OH what a TROUBLESOME set of stars he had!
If his finger could have wagged it would have over the phone and in front of Kai's face. But then he paused hearing the explanation and refrained for a more sincere approach, "Oh, I'm sorry that it went poorly. It's alright, it's no problem. We will just have to do all that today. Goodness. Ok, I'll take care of it." His smile plastered on his face hid the sinking feeling in his stomach that he'd be up all night.
"Why don't you meet me here first, I'll set up the appointments while you're on you way...then we can leave together. I will have to combine a few work things together but no worries, I'll take care of everything. Just please be prepared for an exceptionally busy day." he said reassuringly as his heart started pounding gearing up to the events to follow. He gave Nakai his address and then said, "I so look forward to seeing you. Talk to you soon!" His words continued to smile then he hung up the phone.
No time...no time...He had forgotten that Narcissus was even in the loft as he raced to his laptop and grabbed up a different phone. A few seconds later, "Niko, I need you today, for a fitting and custom. Yes Yes, Sorry about yesterday. Oh I know, It was unexpected. And Niko, can I ask you to take on two for me? Believe me, these stars will help you break in. Hahah.. Of course...just like the old days but better. See you and thank you, Niko."
He didn't stop to put down the phone, "End call. Dial Jazu." he said as his fingers tapped a mile a minute on the keys as he tracked down a private physical therapist while he spoke, "Hey Jazu, I need the crew for a tour. And, do you know if Yammi still has that back up band. Oh really? Good, I'll need his band then. I think they will be able to handle working with the star I've got lined up. No, Ohayou hasn't been hiring, this is on the outside. Yea, It's going to be a tight budget. Haha, I know all the old Indie folks. But you had a good crew. Those were the days...weren't they? Ok, let's meet at the WareHouse on Friday and that will give my star some studio time there and meet the bunch. Thanks Jazu." Fortunately, for him Jazu could wait to see who he was bringing when they got there.
Hanging up the phone this time, he downloaded his mail. "Good! That's covered to." Finally, he said something to Narcissus, "Your physical therapist will be here today. And she's an older woman whose probably never heard of you so please be kind to her."
The moment of starting and stopping his sentences was filled with the dialing of another number. "May I please speak with the Charity coordinator. My name is Izzy Lucky, a manager at Ohayou Productions. I'd like to obtain two slots for your upcoming venue..."
This conversation went on for awhile and he barely took a breath inbetween the phone hanging up and his eyes trailing to the keyboard. Another round of keystrokes as he muttered about his email not even mentioning the outcome of the call, "Studio time for Nakai...looks like I can get a slot here. That will have to do." Then his phone rang and he answered, "Izzy desu. Mmm...a meeting with the promotions department today??...Gah...I don't have time for that. T-shirts, baby tees, buttons...just make something that say N A K A I! I don't know.. wait yes I do. Make umm...black panties with Nakai's name on the bum in white. Um..make some lace with his name laced on the bum in ribbons. Yes, I'll have him sign a few for the commemorative editions. His fans have a thing for...panties." He shuddered just a little at the thought of the fan mail. "Oh good grief, I'll need to find that group to...address Narcissus promotional items. Oh I forgot who we used to use at Indie."
Rushing to an old rolodex, he started thumbing through the various names. Everything was a blur...and again he had forgotten to eat.

Stopping in mid-stride, Naoko looked over his shoulder at the now grief-stricken Ryuukaze.
"You're not the only one afraid, you know." the pianist replied seriously before pulling his hand from the other man's grasp and opening the door.
He wasn't about to try and process that apology right now, because, in truth, the blond didn't want to think that his akuma could possibly be so akin to Hayato.
In any way...
But even as Naoko opened the door, a nurse appeared.
A semi-frantic nurse who was apparently pinning Ryu under a deadly glare.
"I'm fine. It isn't anything I didn't deserve, after all." the pianist hissed before pushing past the nurse and entering the hospital room once more.
Wiping the blood from his lip with a paper towel from the nearby sink, NAKO walked over to the edge of the bed and smiled softly. "Hayato... don't worry. I won't leave your side."
Well no, he would have to leave to meet with Shou.
But he would deal with that tomorrow.
For now...
Reaching out, the pianist wrapped his slender fingers over Hayato's own hand and squeezed gently. "I'm here... and you're going to get better. Yakusoku."
The fear which Naoko had felt at Hayato's awakening, was pushed aside for now.
Especially since that fear no longer seemed so strong...
Naoko didn't have anyone he could go back to now... no one to hold him, to cherish him...
To treat him like a human being and not some toy...
Sai had made it clear that they were to be brothers and nothing more...
Ryu was... compromised...
It was always like this...
Hayato stole everything, even if he didn't intentionally take...
Ryuukaze was wrong... Naoko wasn't going to be happy. There was no happiness to be found down the road he was soon to travel.
Only pleasure... and pain...
But that notion hadn't stopped him from walking through that door...
All while Izzy was on the phone, Narcissus remained in the kitchen making toast.
Of course he already had his prepared... with a little bit of honey on each of the two slices.
But, the young Koyasu wasn't the only one who needed to eat.
So, while Izzy called and called and called... Akihiko made his manager toast with a bit of grape jelly on top.
At first, he didn't think the man would stop long enough to eat the toast...
And when Izzy began to talk to him regarding the physical therapist, Narcissus saw this as his only chance.
Walking around the counter, toast in hand, Koyasu Akihiko came to stand directly behind his manager. For a while he watched as Izzy thumbed through a rolodex...
But eventually, Narcissus became annoyed at being ignored.
He reached out one hand, grabbing the back of Izzy's collar, and pulled until he had the megane-clad man sitting back in his chair.
Then, ever so carefully, Akihiko slid onto Izzy's lap, straddling him and effectively trapping the manager.
"Eat something, damn it." Narcissus spoke, one delicate eyebrow raised, holding up the toast. "I'm not letting you up til you eat it. And I won't terrorize the therapist... too much. God you just like to be a killjoy for all my fun sometimes, don't you, Ishi-san?"
He sighed slightly, taking a bite of his own toast, which he had set down on a plate on the desk.
"See..." the musician spoke after swallowing. "You should just have Nakai-kun stay here for a while. That way, you won't have to run all over town. Besides, we're going to be working closely in the future... it would be best if the man didn't hate me, you know."

Izzy felt the collar get pulled and soon his hands released the rolodex as he was dragged backwards. "Narcissus what are you...." His body plunked down in the chair and before he could even get up, hi star straddled him. Effectively the manger was stuck because he couldn't push Narcissus off with the injuries. His stars came first...always.
"I...I..." his eyes zeroed in on the toast and jam then his tummy growled. For a moment he blinked, "I guess...you're right. I'm sorry. Oh...mm.. thank you for the toast." he said softly, his mouth took a bite while it was in Naricissus' fingers even before he took the piece with his own hand.
Yes, he had forgotten himself entirely again while trying to get things going for Nakai and Narcissus. But again, Narcissus had forced him to slow down for a moment. Hard to believe anyone could do that but here he was with his star...sitting on his lap - trapped.
"Good...Me? Oh, but see I already know what sort of trouble you are Koyasu-san. I know you'll do something when I least expect it!" And he couldn't help but smile when he said that in between the bites of toast.
"Nakai...here...Oh oh, I don't think he would want to do that. He has his own place, he wouldn't want...ah...And besides, where would he sleep?" Izzy's cheeks started to become a tinge of rose with the thought of Nakai sleeping in his loft. Waking up and seeing his bare chest as he stood by the window in the morning. Izzy blinked a moment trying to shove that thought out of his head.
Then, Izzy laughed covering his thoughts, "Well, this isn't a sleep over. You both are too old for that. Oh and why would he hate you? You're going to help propel him to greater success. I'm sure if you're decent, he will be nice to you. No...testing....No trickery." His finger wagged with the toast as he took another bite. "Just be a well...mm..you...just yourself."
For a moment, Izzy had to admit, Koyasu-san on his lap like this must have meant he could care in some fashion. It was actually...endearing. That made him smile a little more as he sucked some jam off of his fingertips.

"Valid point." Narcissus replied as he ate his own toast, a tiny drizzle of honey seemingly getting stuck to the side of one nail. He licked it off before taking another bite. "I wouldn't want to share my couch... at least not in this condition." the man spoke with a suggestive wink.
"But no testing. Got it. No tricks either. Doesn't mean I won't tease and flirt to my heart's content though." the musician stopped, pondering for a moment. "Stars in the same studio DO have a tendency to barely tolerate one another... or didn't you know that about Ohayou? I mean, not ALL stars... just the more... well... narcissistic ones. Me included... though I wouldn't say I can't tolerate Nakai-kun. He's adorable." Akihiko licked another drizzle of honey from a fingertip. "I just have the feeling we're to... but heads eventually.
Leaning forward just a tiny bit, Narcissus softly kissed Izzy's forehead. "Anyounghi jumushoussouyo..." he whispered, before pulling back... a smirk apparent on his face. "And just so you don't lose my train of thought, because when I jump to new thoughts most people tend to get lost... I was thinking, this morning before Nakai-kun called... that I want to broaden my fan-base... so, just keep in mind the idea of releasing a Korean version of some of my best songs."
He didn't speak too much Korean, but Akihiko could get by, if need be.
At least this gave something for Izzy to focus on for the future.
"Not only that, but I was thinking about the Charity event... and I want to write a new song." the musician replied, thinking for a moment as he sat on Izzy's lap. "I penned a few lines on a napkin in your kitchen... but I'm afraid I'm going to need more than a napkin soon. As soon as the therapist deems me fit, I need a studio, Ishi-san."
Well, he was trying to be business-like... but it really was kind of hard when Izzy was licking jam from his fingers.
And yet, Narcissus still wasn't getting up until Izzy finished eating his toast.

K a i - H i g u r iKai found himself stupidly nodding to what Izzy was saying, even though he knew that Izzy couldn't see what he was doing. Boy Izzy seemed to be pretty stressed today already, and the news of Kai not having done anything from yesterday's schedule just seemed to have made things worse. Kai felt guilt bore away at him, and he noted that he'd have to offer to Izzy his help when they met. Kai felt partly responsible for the stress that his manager would be under today. He probably should have done the stuff on his schedule... He hadn't even glanced at his schedule yet...
When Izzy hung up, Kai decided that he'd immediately get on the move. Izzy didn't live that far away from Kai. The trip over to Izzy's loft would be a quick one. Good, since Kai didn't want to waste any more of Izzy's time than he already had. Probably has more important things to do... with Narcissus... than worry about me and the issues I've just caused, Kai thought bitterly. However, he managed to push the thought aside long enough for a quick shower, a sip of wine, and some light breakfast composed of yogurt and a bagel—even though he did have a taste for the expensive, Kai did have his healthy every day food moments.
With all of his stuff together and two of his three phones with him—Kai had decided to leave the ones that generally was reserved for women's numbers at home—Kai went downstairs and hailed his chauffeur.
As the singer made his way there, he knew that this would surely be a long day, and partly due to his own fault for not having done anything in his schedule yesterday. The singer sighed. He'd definitely have to make it up to Izzy. If Koyasu allows it...
Kai blinked. That was it. Why was this thing bugging him so much? Sure, he felt stiff and betrayed because his impressions had been totally wrong, and he felt that Izzy had partly misled him to believe things in the wrong way, but that wasn't enough for this Narcissus/Izzy situation to be bugging him so.
Kai groaned softly. Why the hell do I care if Narcissus has a thing with my—our—manager?
And the fact that Izzy was taking on two stars surprised Kai. He had only found out yesterday, and it had taken a while to sink in. Part of him wanted to believe—and get angry for the fact—that Izzy felt that Kai wasn't a big enough star that he would take time and skill to handle.
But Kai stopped short right at that thought. He usually wouldn't be feeling such, but it had been a relatively bad week in his life so far. Ishi was out of it, Naoko was... wherever, Ryu was being... a frustrating idiot, Izzy was somewhat betraying him without realizing it, and Narcissus was his new tourmate. How nice. The singer knew that he was just in a bad mood, and he vowed to himself to not let it show to Izzy. At least he was still feeling enough like his usual self at the moment to feel terribly guilty about Izzy and his schedule yesterday, and know that Izzy was already under enough stress as it is.
You're a singer... Makes you an actor... You can fool the both of them... Kai chuckled. So easily.N a k a i J u n - N a g a s a k iThe nurse glared at Ryu, offended by Ryu's brusque manner. She assumed that it was Ryu who had caused those pains in the first place. Unless taken care of, Naoko would scar. And the nurse was of the opinion that Naoko was far too beautiful to scar. She was, however, pushed aside when Naoko opened the door to go back into the room. Well, nothing she could do there but shoot Ryu another extremely strong accusatory glare and walk off to do the doctor's bidding.
Within the room... the doctor was still checking various things and making his last marks down on the clipboard, letting Hayato gain the chance for some quiet to assess his situation before continuing on. Just then, the door opened. The nurse couldn't have returned that quickly, could she? He had needed a list of things...
The doctor glanced up from his clipboard to see a rather surprising picture before him. It was the beautifully dressed handsome person who had triggered the reaction out of Hayato, but this time he was a little beat up, bleeding in some places. The doctor put down his clipboard and watched the keyboardist curiously as he approached Hayato's bedside. The doctor noted that his patient's eyes had immediately glued on to Naoko's face. That meant that Hayato's mind was basically running at full speed again, if Hayato was able to register things so quickly. Now how to get the rest of him to be running like normal again...
The doctor decided not to bother Naoko at the moment by worrying over his wounds, since he seemed to be all right. It was probably a touchy subject too, considering the fact that the other didn't come back into the room. Boy was this patient surrounded by a greater and greater air of mystery every second.
The doctor picked up his clipboard once again, made his last note, and hung it at the foot of Hayato's bed where it had originally been.
Leaning back against the wall, the doctor murmured to Naoko, "He can register everything you say, you know. His mind, as I just did some checks, and as I can see, is pretty fully functional. It seems that the operations we did on him when we first received him were, for the most part, successful. The only way we can make sure is when he comes back to his full ability to move. Thank god he's not paralyzed, considering the state we received him in..." The doctor chuckled a little. Those were the crazy days. Operations and procedures were being done left and right on Hayato.
The doctor glanced up at Naoko again, watching to see if he could catch anything in the keyboardist's movements. "We... don't know anything about Hayato-san aside from the fact that he's the lead singer of a band... Though my guesses are that the band had disbanded already, or has found a new singer... We don't even know his last name... Or his real name, for that matter, if 'Hayato' is his stage name..." The doctor hoped that Naoko would, out of his own volition, give the hospital some more information to work with.
Meanwhile... Hayato's eyes just looked on Naoko, his gaze seeming to look much deeper into Naoko than just Naoko's appearance.H a y a t o

What a shock, it was so surprising,
You looked so small and frail------------------------------------------------}:- Izzy Lucky
At times life can be so enlightening .uoy no nrut nac ti tuB
Izzy took another bite actually slowing down to eat the toast. For a moment, his eyes just watched Koyasu-san eat and lick that honey off the edge of a nail. His star...was sexy even eating toast. Lucky toast. No, no...he shouldn't think that about his stars or their toast. "Mm...Oh no no. You and he should sleep in a bed. Not on the c...ou..." He realized after he said it that it would be taken wrong and immediately fumbled to recover, "Not in the same bed! I mean you both should be sleeping in Beds. Oh foo. I can't say anything right! I should get back to work."
Of course, he wasn't finished with is toast so obviously that wasn't going to happen quite yet. So Izzy took another bite and chewed while Koyasu-san continued. Then he swallowed and tilted his head, "Mmm...the child stars well they had their moments like that at time but mostly when adults were around. I know that the kids had lots of fun together when given a chance just to be kids. But...I know adult stars can be different and rivals. However, K....Nakai, he's just starting his rise. You...you've got a lot of good things you could mentor him on being already on the higher side of success."
When he paused, he almost wished for peanut butter on his toast now that he was actually enjoying the flavor. It was rather strange just sitting his apartment eating with someone else even if it were only toast. Maybe even...nice for a change.
"Good, I wouldn't want Nakai to learn any more bad habits although I'm sure he has several of his own. Mmm...Maybe so but I hope you can be friends. He is...rather...adorable." Izzy paused when he said that then quickly added, "But that is why his fans like him so much and send indecent fan mail!"
The foreign words Koyasu-san spoke took him a little bit to understand. He knew very few words in Korean and finally remembered what those words meant. It left him calm and quiet for a moment even as the last piece of toast popped into his mouth. Sometimes, Narcissus was...gentle. These moments...made Narcissus a much more complex man within Izzy's eyes. Why couldn't he be this way more often?
"I'll keep that in mind and when you have the song ready, the lyrics will be translated for a Korean album release. Oh...mm...I suppose that means we could consider a concert in South Korea in the future as well." Already his gears were working on the prospects but at the moment that goal was much further away. Hopefully, the money would be rolling in before he had to work on that project. "Maybe you should take a look at what Shou is doing to promote himself. His blog, store, forums and such are all really popular on his fan site. You might be able to network that way too."
Izzy nodded and then smiled brightly, "I've already lined you up with a Studio, band and crew. I spoke with Jazu, who used to be my go-to at Indie for the stage crews. He's pulling together people I use to work with years ago. He owns a small studio site called The WareHouse. It's a bit of a drive but on Friday we will go there and you can sing your heart out, if you feel up to it. Your new backup band will be there too. Their lead guitarist, Yammi is an old friend from my Indie's days too. Hard working bunch but they've never been able to score much since Indie went under. Not many folks were able to make it after Indie." He sighed feeling a pang of guilt because he had been one of the lucky ones in that regard.
"A new song..." Izzy took in a breath. "Well, If you want to use my laptop to refine it when I am out with Nakai, or use...my karaoke machine to try out your voice, its in the closet over there." He pointed across the room then returned his finger to his mouth again and sucked off the last of the jam.
"Mmm...oishii." Bowing his head just a little a gentle smile on his face, Thank you for the breakfast...Akihiko." he said softly. He really did appreciate the thought.

Ice...
A frozen soul...
A look that could trap Naoko's heart and stop it all at the same time.
For a few moments, the pianist held that gaze... his own amber eyes staring back, defiance evident in their depths.
But slowly... oh so slowly... that defiance faded in the presence of such an overwhelming will...
And soon, Oumori had to look away, focusing on the floor instead of any single being, before answering the questions which he knew the doctor, no doubt, had.
"I don't know Hayato's real name." Naoko replied, sighing and lifting his head to focus on the doctor finally. "Yes, he was the vocalist for 'Hikari ya Yami'. I'm the band's current pianist, NAKO... or rather, Oumori Naoko. I'm the only original member that's still a part of the group which Hayato founded." the blond ran his lithe fingers through his hair before straightening his glasses. "I don't even know how Hayato got here... he just went missing one day... I've been looking for him for the past two years."
After a pause, Naoko's amber eyes glanced back to Hayato, then locked onto the doctor's gaze. "So... it will take him time to be able to move again?" he asked, fingers wrapping warmly over Hayato's motionless hand. "He needs the best care money can provide. I can pay for it... the money's no option, sensei. I just..." NAKO glanced at Hayato once more, licking dry lips. "I just want him to get better..."
But even to Naoko's ears... that sounded like a poor lie.
If Hayato was conscious enough to register everything that was happening around him... he no doubt had registered Ryu...
And Ryu's actions...
Especially those actions toward Naoko personally...
"Look is... is there anywhere I can get some clean clothes? My friend was released from the hospital the other day... he shouldn't even be up but... well... as you can see, I'm kind of bloody. He was coughing up blood and I tried to clean it up." Naoko spoke, trying to reassure the doctor that only the split lip and the bruised cheek where his true injuries.
Naoko just wanted a shower and some fresh clothes. Nothing more. If the sensei could help with the clothes part, the pianist knew he could easily get a shower in the room's private bathroom.
Smirking, Narcissus vacated Izzy's lap and stretched his arms carefully up over his head. "As much as I'd like to share a bed with Nakai-kun... I think I'd have to pass for now. After all," he winked. "It might make you jealous."
The musician loved to watch Izzy squirm, but it hardly meant he wasn't listening.
In fact, Akihiko's audible attention was focused directly on his manager... even as he headed back into the kitchen to wash his hands and get some stubborn honey out from beneath one nail.
"I never said I wasn't going to help the boy, Ishi-san. I just said I think we'll be butting heads soon." he spoke, digging at his nail impatiently. "Besides, it's not like he's that big of a competition to me right now anyway. I'm speaking from the standpoint of, probably, Nakai-kun. He'll resent me because I'm more popular than him. Not to mention you're my manager now as well... that tidbit's sure to strike a chord." the man brightened a little, "SPEAKING of chords..." he turned, grabbing a pen from the kitchen counter and quickly adding to his napkin requiem.
The musical prodigy however, continued speaking even as he was writing... as if his brain split itself in half to allow for both the creative process to continue... while he debated the more financial with his manager.
"My new song will be in Japanese... but I'll want it translated, as well as a few others, into Korean. I've always wanted to play a show in Seoul... Besides, Korean idols are gorgeous... I wouldn't mind inviting a few of those girls to my show and backstage and..." smirking, blue eyes looked up from the napkin and focused on Izzy. "Sorry, got carried away there. I forgot you liked guys strictly."
A lyric was stuck... well, partially stuck in Akihiko's mind and partially on the napkin and he couldn't really get it all to focus properly.
So, he picked up his cigarettes and tapped one out, putting it between his lips.
But the star didn't light it.
He just left it there, fingers flying as he wrote a few new kana and finished the line.
It wasn't until that was done, that the musician put the pen down and lit his cigarette.
"By the way, Ishi-san... I bought these with your money. I wasn't sure about your smoking policy... but seriously, I hadn't had a cigarette for over twenty-four hours... I was needing one rather badly." Narcissus spoke, taking a pull. "Think of breakfast as my way of making up for the spent yen."
Akihiko tipped his ashes into that same soda can from earlier. "As for the studio... whatever you set up is fine. I'll tweak some of the music from your computer while you're gone... my voice is FINE, thank you. Just because I got the s**t beat out of me, hardly means I can't sing."
Of course he had been feverishly ill too...
Which probably accounted for the slight flushed appearance of the musical super star.
Walking back over to Izzy Lucky, the young Koyasu handed his manager a napkin... a napkin devoid of lyrics or music notes... to better help with his sticky jam situation.
(((OOC: Koy's jumping from topic to topic for two reasons... The first is a valid and legitimate reason that he's having problems adjusting to what's happening around him, and the jumping is a slight nervous habit of his. The second... is because I've watched WAY too much Doctor Who in the last two days and David's jumpy Doctor speech patterns are starting to get stuck in my head... Oh wait, there's a third! I'm tired and tipsy... I think that counts for a third...)))

~Yarinaosu koto dekiru kara~
There was blood everywhere. No...it was red ribbon. Red ribbon and blood. Ryu was covered in the blood. A piece of the red ribbon was tied to his wrist. Slowly, the singer began to follow the ribbon, tracing it through a darkened maze. At the end of the ribbon there was...Naoko. Naoko was smiling, laughing. So beautiful. His wrist was tied to the other end of the red ribbon. Ryu smiled, so glad to see his tenshi there before him. Out of the shadows stepped a tall, dark figure.
Hayato.
Hayato sliced the red ribbon with a blade and took Naoko roughly by the wrist. Naoko smiled as Hayato led him away.
"Naokoooo!!!!!" Ryu screamed, but no sound would come out.Gasping and sitting bolt upright, Ryu was dazed for a moment, hardly realizing where he was at or what was going on. Yes...the hospital...outside Hayato's room. That's right. He had fallen asleep. It was a dream. It had all been a dream. Right? No...that was reality, or his mind's interpretation of it. The violinist was covered in a cold sweat, nauseated from the panic the dream had ******** this..." he practically spat at the empty hall. He wasn't welcome here anyway. What good would it be to sit here and become more bitter? Taking out his phone, Ryu dialed Sai's telephone number, waiting patiently as the phone began to ring. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

"Jealous!? Oh my. What? Why would I...?" No he didn't want to continue that line of conversation because surely it would lead to other impish thoughts in Narcissus' head. That wink proved it. "Oh you're a brat! What am I going to do with you?"
After he was finally free of the trap, Izzy got up and grabbed the rolodex once more but this time, he didn't rush especially while Narcissus spoke with him. "Well, if you do butt heads I'll be sure to say something about it. There's plenty of room in this world for more than one super star. I want to see you both shine." He pulled out a card and smiled, "Found it!"
Then Izzy glanced back as Narcissus wrote on his napkin. He paused there for a moment just watching the creative sparks as they started to pour from the musician to the napkin. That made him smile. At least, for all the hardship Koyasu-san was going through, he still had the imagination and drive to come up with new lyrics. "I'll make sure to find a good translator for the job." However, he just turned his head back to the computer with a light shake and a smile. " No worries, Narcissus...you're only doing what comes naturally from a star of your caliber. I'm sure those girls would be most willing too."
He knew that events like that happened all the time in a Star's world. It wasn't like he was completely naive. "Just make sure that you have a bodyguard outside the door. I don't want paparazzi getting any good shots."
What could he expect? It wasn't like last night was any committed love life. Narcissus wasn't his own by any stretch of the imagination even if the small fantasy sometimes courted his mind. And Nakai fell into the same category. If he weren't with Naoko against the wall, he'd probably have another man in bed the next night. They weren't the type to settle or have deep meaningful relationships beyond their music.
But when Narcissus put the cigarette to his lips, Izzy gasped but didn't say anything because the man didn't light it. He wouldn't have wanted to ruin that creative vision in his Star's head. However, when the man finished and lit up then started asking about his smoking policy, he had to speak up. "I don't smoke and I don't really want it in my house. I'm not to keen on my stars smoking and I am sure you understand why...but..." He sighed because he just couldn't send Narcissus outside. "If you really need to smoke, use the bathroom and close the door. Turn on the fan so it sucks out the smoke. At least that will limit the cleaning of the odor to one room."
He hated cigarettes especially with singers! There was no need for explanations there because the reason was obvious. But he also knew that habits weren't broken in one day, and considering Narcissus' stack of recent events, the man needed an outlet. Izzy wasn't that cruel.
Then, his smile returned as he picked up his phone, "Then work hard in physical therapy so when Friday comes you can enjoy the studio time. It's not as high tech as Ohayou but you might enjoy a change in pace." Looking up he saw that Narcissus had brought him a napkin which he probably really needed considering there was a dot of jam on his lips. Taking the napkin he cleaned off the rest of it and just smiled suddenly realizing that Narcissus in a business sense wasn't anything like he expected!
As he dialed the number for the old Indie's promo group, he had to wonder when Nakai would arrive.
(OOC: Gal I read your last post but it didn't say Nakai had gotten to Izzy's yet. So I will watch for Nakai to arrive. ^__^ )) -:{------------------------------------------------I didn't know what to do

Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do------------------------------------------------}:-  SAI
No escaping when I start .traeh ruoy nwo I ni m'I ecnO
Sai was in the fitting room as the tailor carefully marked the new suit he needed. This was his attempt to get his mind off of various problems and finish a few things up before he ran out of time. Eventually, Shou would show up and his life would again not be his own. However, right now, he was managing to fulfill a few needs. Fashionable business attire, a new wallet, belt and shoes. It was a priority to him to look his best when he went to see potential investments.
For now, he tried not to think about Naoko or what his brother might be doing because that would be counter productive. Right now, he didn't need thoughts that depressed him. Maybe for once he should think about taking care of himself for a change rather than be encompassed by Naoko's world. Or was it really Naoko's world at all but instead...Hay...No, that creature's name would not pass his lips or sully his mind.
But then, the cell phone rang from his pant's pocket and he turned from the tailor, who walked off to give him a moment of privacy."Konnichiwa, Oumori desu." he said having not looked at the caller idea prior in his distracted state.

"Sai...." Ryu gritted his teeth as he said the name into the phone. "I think you might want to explain quite a few things to me. Right now. Come pick me up at the central hospital. Immediately." Ryuukaze was being exceptionally rude and short tempered with Sai, but at this point, he didn't have any patience or tolerance left to offer. As he spoke on the phone, the violinist dragged himself to the elevator, taking it down to the ground floor. Injuries be damned, he wouldn't be getting any rest anymore. Not until this all got settled. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~
