In The Pit
Oreo hadn't forgotten about the bat in the frig. However, he didn't know what to do. Both Doctors were poking around in his mouth. "Nnghnh....Onooo---sann....nngh...my stomach...Ono-san...nngh..please....backup." Oreo was faking it but he hoped this would stop this examination.
The Doctor backed up quickly with a foul look on his face as Oreo pulled his head away leaning over the bed coughing and spiting. But soon with his stomach being just so close to the edge prior, he actually threw up in the trash can. "Nnnghhhh...ugh......." In Oreo's head this wasn't any fun at all making himself throw up like this. He wanted to enjoy his donut...his coffee but Katsu was freezing in there!
Meanwhile the Doctor looked at Ono as he pinched his nose and handed the clipboard back to Ono. "Appears he's not quite ready for donuts. Clean him up...and meet me in my office in an hour." The Doctor headed for the door and walked out quickly. Seemed like the Doctor didn't want to deal with...puke.

Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do------------------------------------------------}:-  SHOU
No escaping when I start .traeh ruoy nwo I ni m'I ecnO
Beautiful Dreamer
The PV was grueling with costume changes and all the various special shots upon green screens and various backdrops. By the time Shou was done it was coming on 7pm. He had almost forgotten the concert but as he finally peered down at his street clothes he had been wearing in the morning, he saw the tickets sticking out just in the edge of his pocket.
Glancing over to Ko, who was sleeping deep on his cot, Shou walked out to the studio and spoke with Haru asking if he could take the boy home and stay for a few hours. Haru knew You was suppose to make him dinner tonight but he told Shou he'd handle things. Maybe Naoko would be able to come over for part of the night. Either way, Shou needed to get out and considering You was the reason the star was so frustrated right now, Haru wasn't going to make Shou stay home. Things had to be taken care of gently.
So Shou showered at the studio and picked out something that was casual and could appear on any fashionable street in Tokyo. A fur collared jacket of leather and comfortable dark jeans with simple pullover shirt underneath. Then he picked out some large sunglasses because he couldn't really use a mask and get away with things. However, since he was going to be walking around in the crowd, he grabbed a scarf and hat to cover hair. No one would recognize him.
He left with the bodyguards but he wouldn't take them into the show. He told them to stay outside far enough away to not blow his cover. Shou needed his time to just be a man....tonight. He'd let someone else entertain him for a change.
Shou walked down the street and crossed with the light as flecks of winter mist hit his face. God he was looking forward to spring and cherry blossoms. Upon reaching the Concert Hall, he could see that fans were milling and being funneled inside. Shou drifted in with the rest of the people then spotted the promotional tables. Nakai's stuff was everywhere - boxers, towels. girls intimates...many things that Shou mused over with a smile. It was almost odd to see a face so similar to Naoko's upon all these things. Originally, he hadn't planned on purchasing anything but he paused at the guitar picks then changed his mind. Ok...he'd buy a few things. One pack of picks, pajama bottoms, tour book and boxers. He bought Ko a shirt and then picked up pillow cases for Naoko. Yes, Shou laughed at the idea of Naoko sleeping with someone that looked like himself never realizing that it almost had happened in real life.
With a full bag at his side, he went to the far right and displayed his box seat ticket to the young woman waiting. She glanced up at him and smiled brightly before ushering him along to the box. It actually was a good view to the right of the stage and up. While he wasn't completely alone up there, he wasn't exactly sitting right next to anyone in particular. The people that surrounded this box had no idea who he was thankfully. He'd have a good view of Nakai's playing style which he was actually eager to hear again. Maybe his guitar would be in tune? Shou chuckled at the thought.

Ono sighed slightly but it seemed like he wasn't as put off by this as his mentor. "Of course, sir. I'll be there as soon as possible. Perhaps it was our poking around in his mouth that caused the gag reflex..." he mused to himself, acting as if he were trying to figure out if it had been them or the donut.
But the second that the Doctor was gone... that footstep echos has receded completely... Takashi threw the clipboard onto the bed and ran to the fridge, quickly throwing it open.
Azriel fell out, the bat shivering violently, his entire body curled up and hands trying to rub his chest to keep his blond at least a bit warmer.
"Gomen, Katsu-san..." Ono spoke, not really showing any concern but quickly grabbing a couple of blankets and wrapping them around the bat.
Of course Katsumi's coffee was cold now, having been in the fridge, so Takashi put his own into the young man's hands, forcing him to drink the warm beverage.
"You... ne...ne...need cab...cabinets..." Katsumi said between chattering teeth, practically downing the coffee in a couple of sips before clutching the blanket around his lithe frame.
Ono had seen the young man react badly to cold before during the bat's time in the depths... but this was a bit more extreme than he had counted on. "You were only in there for a few minutes, Katsu-san."
Dark eyes flickered up angrily, "I.. can... can't... take the co... cold..." he hissed, waving Ono away.
Takashi sighed and went to empty the trash can. "It would be best if you warmed up a tiny bit before leaving, Katsu-san..." but by the time he turned around to address the young man... Azriel was gone.
Well no not really gone.
He'd dashed across the room and climbed into Oreo's bed on the other side of the young man, clinging to him. Katsu's eyes were closed as he tried to release the tension in his muscles... to even his breathing and focus himself...
But he was so damn cold!

In The Pit
Oreo cleaned his lips off with a nearby napkin feeling rather sad about expelling that donut. He reached over to pull the coffee in for a sip. Something needed to get rid of the taste in his mouth.
However, as Katsu rolled out of the frig, he spoke up quick, "I'm sorry Katsu. There wasn't much I could do. Except...puke. And that hurt. Ugh..." He set the coffee aside and watched under his warm blanket as Ono covered Katsu with blankets of his own.
The sick man sighed thinking that Katsu would be fine and thus he closed his eyes, But it was only mere moments before his eyes snapped open and a VERY COLD BODY latched on. "Chotto! Oh my god you're freezing." Although after a moment it actually felt good to have a cold Katsu leaching his heat since he had been on and off with a fever since becoming an experiment.
Oreo put his arms around Katsu and glanced at Ono with a bit of surprise still upon his face. He hadn't expected this at all."Could you put that extra blanket on top of us, Ono-san? I'll warm him up for a bit."
He leaned his head against the cold one of Katsu's "It's ok. I'm a great heater right now." His arms rubbed over Katsu's shoulders and down his sides then up his back making sure Katsu was pulled in.
Oreo yawned though. He was starting to succumb again to sleep. Between the Shark and everything up to the point that Katsu crawled in had been more excitement than he had in days. "Ono-san...I'm tired..." he muttered knowing that once he fell asleep he really slept like a brick. It had to be the drugs or his body healing...or something. But he knew once he dropped off, he wouldn't be waking up to see Katsu leave. "I really want to finish the donuts later...and I want my coffee....."
His lip brushed Katsu's forehead and warm breath from his nose ran across that cool skin."You do..good at work today...o...k?" Oreo finally drifted off and his relaxed body remained like a warm weight to cling to even in his heavy sleep.

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeruHideki had been so delighted to be invited for dinner. Had been so eager to share his new work and find out what his next step would be insomuch as performing and promoting his work. Sitting at the table beside of Izzy and across from Akihiko, he had been slurping away at his chocolate milk like a sugar-loving kitten until his boss's words settled upon him. The straw fell from Chiyou's lips as the gravity of the situation settled upon him. He was having what basically amounted to his raison d'etre taken away from him indefinitely. He was having his hopes and dreams stepped on and crushed for what Narcissus imagined was the best interests of the company. "Akihiko...." the kid breathed, sounding more crestfallen than anything. For a long moment, he just sat there, his unseeing eyes staring off into the void, seeming to gaze just past Narcissus' head. "If....if it were you in my position right now...how would you feel? What would you do? Before we take this any further...I want you to give me an honest answer to that..." karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

Sadness sinks, and look, the night comes to an end.
Jun rose early in the morning. Earlier than he would have liked, but it was the time his body had settled on it seemed. His fingers were so rough and sore he knew he'd have to soak his hands for a while...and probably take a half-day to avoid tearing them up any worse than he already had.
After breakfast, a shower, and a lot of work on his fingertips, the guitarist kicked back on his couch and made a call to work, leaving a message explaining that he needed a half-day or some concession to allow him to recuperate just a little. After being informed that he'd be getting a call back in regard to that, Suzaku looked over his messages from the previous night.
Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning. I'm taking it easy today myself. Gotta let my fingers rest. Need to get some more finger tape, too. Musician problems, right? Pain in the a**. he texted the pianist, hoping to keep a friendly dialog open with Naoko from now on.
Let's go searching for you ----------------------------------------------------------- And your warmth, in a world yet unseen.

"What would I do?" Akihiko re-voiced the question, letting it mill around in his mind. "Whatever answer I give you, Hideki... would be skewed because I'm not IN your position. I know what it feels like to have the rug pulled out from under your feet though... I know too well what it feels like to have what you work so hard for snatched away. Taking this into account... perhaps my answer wouldn't be as skewed as most. But the fact still remains that I have my sight... I can perform and I can sing and dance and write music to my heart's content..."
The young man sighed softly, resisting the urge to stand and pace as he parceled out his answer bit by bit.
"If I were you... I would seek any treatment options you could, no matter the price. It would hurt... and sometimes the treatments might fail... but I wouldn't give up. If I were sitting there, where you are now, and my grandfather was here in my place... he would demand the same. He would push me to do what I could. And I wouldn't give up until I had what I wanted in my hands." Narcissus sighed softly, "But you're not me, Hideki. I can't say that you would keep pushing forward and find a way to fix this. It would be easy to just give up and take the paycheck for the songs... to turn into nothing more than a songwriter for other vocalists. But it's a path open to you now, Hideki. You can fight and struggle and some sort of treatment or solution may present itself... or you can resign yourself to this fate and write for Ohayou."

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeruChiyou pondered that response for a moment, then sighed, resigning himself to the reality of the situation, fully aware that nothing he said or did right now would change things. "I understand. Well...at least I have options, regardless of the outcome. I suppose I owe you my thanks for that, at least." Hideki awkwardly took his straw in his fingers, stirring his chocolate milk around and sipping at it. "What bothers me most, I suppose...is that I'm not sure that anything can be done about my eyes." he frowned, quite unhappy at that prospect. "Not that that means I'm not going to look for a fix...but...frankly...I'm scared. I'm scared of the surgeries, scared of the possibility of failure, scared of not being able to do the one thing I love more than anything ever again." Chiyou couldn't help it as tears began to slip from his silver-grey eyes. The young vocalist felt so helpless and exposed right now, and he had no way to protect himself from the uncertainty and anxiety welling up in his heart. "It just...it really sucks, ya know?" the kid smiled through the tears, trying to be strong in front of Akihiko and Ruki. What was most surprising about Hideki's reaction, though, was the fact that the young man didn't try to argue, fight, or throw a fit about any of it. He was oddly accepting and understanding, despite his obvious unhappiness with the news. Maybe the "kid" had begun to mature a lot more than many had thought. karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

Everything was perfect.
The lights... the feel... the sounds and the sights and the smells and the very air itself was simply perfect...
His clothing was spot on for the night, his hair straightened out and ironed and then starched into place, and his guitar in PERFECT tune. Tonight was his Tokyo gig... and Higuri Kai wasn't about to mess this one up.
It was time... and with one last drag of his cigarette, Nakai got into place. His guitar was strapped on tight, his fingers ready for that first chord, and his body just itching to sing and to dance and to sway...
And most of all... to play...
The drums cued in and the stage was still dark as Kai stepped into place where he needed to be.
Then came his voice... and his flying picking fingers.
A treacherous sunset

Thankfully for this song, Nakai's microphone was actually on his head and he didn't have to stay stationary. Since this song was opening his performance, the guitarist made certain to practically stalk the stage, letting those in attendance get a good look at him as his fingers worked away on the strings.
There are no travelers anymore

But there is intention in them
intention that means something

Nakai couldn't help his hips wiggling suggestively as he sang the chorus over and over throughout the song. It just demanded to be danced to, and in truth he didn't mind that there were a lot of people he could see in the crowd that were dancing along with him.
Oh, the morning sun rises yeah
Break through the darkness
If you feel it, you'll be able to see
That meaningful tomorrow
おお朝日は昇るyeah

As soon as Nakai struck that last note there was a wall of sound. It made the guitarist smile and he winked at the audience before walking over to the standing mic. He hit a button on the tiny box clipped to the back of his pants, turning off the head set so there wasn't any interference.
"Konnichiwa Minnasan! Is everyone having a good night tonight?!"
Oh yes, Nakai liked to talk to his audience and get them in the mood to rock!

No escaping when I start .traeh ruoy nwo I ni m'I ecnO
Beautiful Dreamer
Well at least this time, the guitar was perfectly in tune! was the first thought in Shou's head as he leaned forward in his box seat to watch the star on stage. The crowd was digging the music and Shou took in a breath of refreshing air. The screams and singing from the crowd below wasn't for him tonight. It was a relief.
Maybe this was what he was missing for awhile, the chance to break free and just be human. Ok so it was an extreme difference from the star's plans earlier in the day. But Shou was a man of man masks and right now, this part of him, the human part needed revitalizing. So even though he didn't know the song, he hummed along with the tune.
Just watching Nakai on stage, Shou really did see where this man and Naoko had similar looks. However, Nakai had a lot more stage presence and obviously would not be content hidden behind a keyboard. No, Nakai's dreams appeared to be for the spotlight.
For a master like Shou, his eyes were fixed to the guitar while his fingers, strummed close to his body near the wall as he leaned in so he could look down at the stage. His fingers were picking up the notes quickly and if he had his guitar, he would have been playing too. Nakai's style was energetic and playful with a bit of tease to it. Shou appreciated the view and his smile broadened while his shoulders swayed back and forth with the song. It was sure worth being just a fan in a seat for a change!
He pulled off his scarf and hat just before the first song ended then glanced at at a small mirror in his wallet. Ok, so the sunglasses were fine alone. His blond hair streaked with a dark brown strands would be ok while the theater was dark like this. He'd put his hat on before the end. No one would be wiser.

(((OOC: Okay so you HAVE to listen to the song to get this song because it's a specific version. The song is "Itoshii Hito (Beta de suman) ~Dokusou~" aka "愛しい人（ベタですまん。）～独奏～" by MIYAVI. Here's a link to the song. I swear the actual song is great and from the FANS BEST album. If you want to listen to it, hit me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fShugL_zq1AAnd here's another version of it that doesn't sound as crappy due to it being a weird recording... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s9YsvVenFE )))
A couple of songs passed in Nakai's performance, and then the man gave up the electric guitar for an acoustic. For this particular song, his break in the middle of the madness as he liked to think of it, the blond sat down on a sort of series of small steps that were on a bit of an outcropping into the throng of the audience. He liked be out there in the midst of the crowd... letting them all watch him... letting him mingle.
It made everything more intimate... like a club... like his starting days before he had signed with Ohayou.
Slowly, Nakai began his guitar, his voice humming along softly, a mic near his lips and another near his acoustic guitar.
Beloved one...Don't cry, show me your smile
If I wanted to see your tears, I wouldn't have said 'I like you', would I?
愛しい人・・・泣かないで、笑ってみせて
涙がみたくて「好き」って言ったんじゃないんだよ？
Itoshii hito... Nakanai de, waratte misete.
Namida ga mitakute [suki] tte ittanjanai nda yo?
So. So~
だから。 だから～
Dakara. Dakara~
Beloved one... It's okay, you're not alone
Because when you're feeling lonely, I'll feel lonely too
愛しい人・・・大丈夫、淋しかなんかないでしょう
だって貴方が淋しい時、僕も淋しいんだよ？
Itoshii hito... Daijoubu, sabishika nanka nai desho?
Datte anata ga sabishii toki, boku mo sabishii nda yo
Beloved one...Don't open your closed eyes
That way... that way...
you can't sleep.
愛しい人・・・とじた目は、
まだあけちゃ駄目だかんね
そのまま・・・そのまま
・・・って寝ちゃ駄目だよ。
Itoshii hito... Tojita me wa mada akecha dame dakanne.
Sono mama... sono mama
...tte necha dame da yo
Beloved one...
Not 'For you I would die'
but 'For you I live'
Of course, we'll be together
Before this, before that...
愛しい人
「貴方の為なら死ねる」じゃなくて
「貴方の為に生きる」事にしたよ
もちろん貴方もご一緒に。
この先も、その先も。 Whoa
Itoshii hito
[Anata no tame nara shineru] ja nakute
[anata no tame ni ikiru] koto ni shita yo.
Mochiron anata mo goissho ni,
kono saki mo, sono saki mo. Whoa
Amber eyes closed as Nakai let his fingers rip the guitar up. His voice, which had never been his strongest point, was quite subdued as he sang the slower piece.
Perhaps, more than the rock pieces, this was the real Kai coming through in his music. It was, to him, perfect... for perhaps the first time ever.
The only thing that could make it better would've been if he had a cigarette!
If you love yourself more,
can I have a part of that excess love?
もっと自分愛してやりなよ、
僕はその余った分でいーから。
Motto anata, aishiteyarina yo,
boka wa sono amatta bun de i- kara.
Beloved, beloved one...
Even if we are reincarnated
I will still be 'this' me and you will still be 'that' you
And then, I will say the same words again
Always, always.. Always. Always. Always. Always.
愛しい、愛しい人
たとえ生まれ変わったとしても、
僕は「この」僕でいるから貴方も「その」貴方でいてね。
そして、また同じ台詞言うんだ。
ずぅっと、ずぅっと。 ずぅっと。 ずぅっと。 ずぅっと。 ずぅっと。
Itoshii hito, itoshii hito
Tatoe umarekawatta to shite mo
boku wa kono boku de iru kara,
Anata mo sono anata de ite ne.
Soshite mata kono onaji koto iu nda,
zuutto, zuutto. Zuutto. Zuutto. Zuutto. Zuutto.
The song had begun to wind down now, and just before he had gotten to the 'zuutto' part, Nakai had stood and clasped the mic in both hands for a moment, just letting his voice carry the music instead of his guitar.
But then he was playing again, singing out his heart and soul.
Beloved one...Please
open your eyes slowly
Isn't it the same as always?
It's fine just like this.
It's fine just like this.
愛しい人・・・ゆっくり
その目あけてごらんよ。
いつもと同じでしょう？
それでいいんだよね。
それでいいんだよ。
Itoshii hito... Yukkuri
Sono me aketegoran yo,
itsumo to onaji deshou?
Sore de ii nda yo ne.
Sore de ii nda yo.
For a time he hummed and strummed... then when the song was over the musician smiled.
"I wrote that for a friend of mine actually." Kai spoke to the audience, though he didn't say who.
He couldn't tell this audience that he'd written the song about Chiyou...
Then again, those close to him might've figured that tidbit out.
"And speaking of friends of mine..." amber eyes flickered over to the owner's box. "There's someone who I look up to quite a bit in the realm of the guitar taking in my sound tonight it seems."
Suddenly there was a light on Shou, and the always naughty Nakai smirked, "I thank you for coming to my concert, Shou-san." Kai spoke, his voice teasing and yet intrigued at the same time.
To be honest, Nakai was a little confused as to why this man was here in the first place. After all, wasn't Shou busy getting his own tour together?
"I ask the audience NOT to swarm him, onegai?" the blond spoke, clapping his hands together and bowing his head in a plea to the crowd. "Bet you're just checking up on the competition, ne Shou-san?" Kai teased before beginning to walk back to the middle of the stage.
The spotlight over Shou went out and it was focused completely back on the guitarist on stage as he picked up his electric guitar once more.
A few minutes later, one of the stage hands approached Shou and calmly asked if he would like to go backstage after the show.
(((OOC: Lyrics I used were for the regular version.... just so you know. They were from JPopAsia btw. Well except for a couple additions from me for this specific song version.)))

Akihiko smiled softly and yet sadly. "I know..." he spoke, his voice unnaturally gentle.
Standing from his seat, Narcissus walked over to one of his book cases and took out a manilla envelope. He then handed it to Chiyou.
"I took the liberty of making a list of clinics and private practitioners in Japan that specialize in ocular surgery. No doubt Ruki wouldn't mind helping you go through the list and finding out which ones might suit you best. If nothing here can be done... then we'll look into overseas options, preferably in America." his blue gaze flickered to Izzy, knowing that his partner wondered when he had had the time.
But he had... in truth he'd done it when Lucky had run off for a night on his own. Just one of many things he'd done that day.
"You have to ask yourself one very important question, Hideki. WILL you do this? I know it's frightening... and failure is always possible with surgery. Don't you think I was scared shitless when I had to have my brain poked around in? Not just me either... someone I know recently had a cyst removed from his own brain. Surgery is a scary thing, Hideki... but sometimes it's necessary. In my case, I would have eventually died. Quite possibly it was the same with that other man I know too. But you... you can live without your sight, Hideki. This isn't something you HAVE to do. It's something you need to CHOOSE to do."
By now, Akihiko was standing behind where Chiyou sat. He reached out, putting on hand on the top of the 'kid's' head gently. "You have to make the choice. I've given you the information to help with that, and I'm sure Ruki will gladly go over the list with you. But it's YOUR choice, Hideki."

Azriel didn't say much at this point. While Ono simply added the extra blankets then nodded to the prone man and then left... Katsu remained, dark eyes closed tightly.
"No work... just warm..." the bat whispered, clinging to Oreo as tightly as he could without making the man ill. "Just... just warm... onegai..."
He couldn't think straight at all with how frozen his body was. Nothing else really registered either except the excruciating pain his lithe body felt as it tried to warm up. Pins and needles...
Sure, it had just been a fridge and not a freezer... but that hardly mattered when one held that much aversion to the chill.
In no time at all, Katsumi had fallen asleep next to Oreo... how phone on silent.
Needless to say work DID call him quite a few times too...

Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do------------------------------------------------}:- SHOU
No escaping when I start .traeh ruoy nwo I ni m'I ecnO
Beautiful Dreamer
Shou closed his eyes and listened to the music allowing his fingers to get a feel for the rhythm of the song. He then opened them again and focused on Nakai. Such a talented guitarist. His music sounded much better than when Shou had heard him last.
Those fingers plucked at the strings almost magically and Shou was drawn in. His head floated in the music and for an instant he had forgotten the misery of the most recent days. This feeling of getting back to the roots of music was exhilarating.
As the music drifted down to a low strum, Shou listened as Nakai spoke about a friend. He smiled a little curious about who that person was but he wasn't close enough to Nakai to figure it out. No matter.
However suddenly there was a different topic being addressed, Nakai didn't know he was here but then....the light suddenly was upon Shou. The star blinked as he quickly placed a smile on his lips and thanked the gods above he had not taken off his sunglasses!
Shou waved to the crowd politely with a smile on his lips. He could hear his name being screamed across the concert hall. Oh great....He could hear gasps and calls of his name behind him too. Glancing down at Nakai, this impish man! Oh he deserved to be punished for putting the spotlight on him! The owner of this hall must have mentioned that Shou was going to be here! How else would have Nakai known. Trouble! Pure trouble!
Shou shook his head and waved at Nakai as well, acknowledging the man's conversation. He shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands as if to say, Who knows.... in answer to the question. Because there was no way that Nakai could hear what he really had to say over the crowd!
As the lights went off of him, his tension released. Although he knew that near by were fans that wanted to get closer. Fortunately the box was a little private and no one was sitting within his space for a few feet. . Although his eyes flicked up when the stage hand came near and offered him the opportunity to go backstage.
Shou accepted graciously and stood up from his seat. He'd go backstage now rather than wait even though he wanted to continue to watch. He picked up his scarf and then plucked up his bag and followed the stage hand. Two security guards were immediately moving into the area to make sure that the star wasn't disturbed by the excited fans.
Once out of the main hall there were a few fans that trickled out to snap photos of him as he walked with the 3 men towards the back. Shou didn't glance back because really those fans had come to see Nakai first. He wasn't going to steal their minds too far from the show.
The security ushered him safely into the backstage and took his bag, hat and scarf to a safe place so Shou could watch Nakai from a seat right at the side of the stage. Ok, so this view wasn't bad either. Nakai looked so much like Naoko it was uncanny at times.
