What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:-  Asato Hiroki
Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions
The Hospital
"I don't know. But you did. You were happy. Never thought you'd ever find someone that could make you smile and work so hard. There's nothing wrong with caring for someone." he answered the angry young man. Heck, he couldn't explain how it happened. He didn't know and was still trying to figure out how the manager had done it. He would never have believed it except that he had seen Koyasu-kun change.
Hiroki closed his eyes and took in a breath. There was a definite line of concern that crossed the man's face. One that relayed the troubled that were just behind that mask he wore around Narcissus. Debating with himself was difficult at best about what to say and what not to say to Akihiko especially in the state he was in. But finally, he answered even though he was certain to add this onto the plate of 'you should have known better'. But he decided not to comment about why Koyasu-sama wouldn't let Akihiko shoulder any burdens. They had talked about that several times in the past long before three months ago so he had a feeling if Koyasu-kun thought about it, he'd know exactly why.
"Last night, while you were on stage...while this whole incredible event was going on, I was seated with Matsumoto Izo of Smash. He and Go Records have decided to join forces to perform a corporate take over of Ohayou. They've given many well crafted 'reasons' for this but the fact is I think Mastumoto is just looking to take down his rival once and for all. He wants the stars we have and can't get them to join Smash. And after Izzy's incident, I think he decided on a different tact. He thinks right now it's going to be easy because your grandfather...hasn't been around as much lately. And no I don't know why. He thinks your a troublesome but lucrative cash cow with little aspirations beyond sex appeal and stardom. He thinks I'm not strong enough to be Ohayou on my own. But I promised Koyasu-sama that I'd protect of his legacy and that I will do especially from that b*****d. So yes, I have something more serious to deal with, Akihiko."
For once, Hiroki didn't hide anything. He laid it out as it was to Akihiko. It was obvious he wasn't making this up. In fact, his hand never left the door knob revealing even more about his concern for the matters at hand.

Narcissus was silent for a long time, thinking on what the other man had said.
Izo...
Why did that name piss him off so damn much...
Hadn't they said that Akihiko had suspected Izo of what had happened to himself and Izzy?
How could a man be that desperate.
"So he thinks you're weak..." Akihiko spoke, leaning back against the bed, having raised it so he was sitting up.
After all, he was still too physically weak to keep himself up for a long period of time.
"I really don't give a damn about you, Asato. I'm sure you've realized this by now. But I DO give a damn about Ohayou. Not because it's where I'm signed and not because of ojisan. I care about it because it's mine. Sure, you may be the next heir now... but you won't be forever. It WILL be mine, no matter what... and I'm not about to sit here and watch some slimy b*****d like Matsumoto Izo take it." sighing, Akihiko put a hand to his head, feeling a bit dizzy. "I want copies of any and all paperwork that may pertain to this. I want to be told what's going on when it's going on, not a few days after the fact. My health be damned because I will NOT end up working for Izo. Not now. Not ever."
Blue eyes averted themselves as he went silent, but then he sighed once more, looking as if he were either pained or disgusted.
"Seems we're going to need to work together for once, Asato. I don't really like the idea... no doubt you don't either... but if ojisan isn't going to lift a finger to preserve his legacy... seems someone needs to in his place."
Yes...
Narcissus was offering his help to save the company.
A change of events to be sure... and yet...
He couldn't help but, strangely, worry about the old man...
Aki should have been there... he should be doing this talking not Asato!

Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions
The Hospital
Hiroki sometimes wished he had never met Koyasu-kun. Never had to help Koyasu-sama with the younger man. He was always going to be at odds with him and disliked. Not that Hiroki felt that much better about Koyasu-kun. They always bumped heads.
He didn't want to comment about how long he'd be in his position. He didn't want to start another fight. He didn't need to be warring on several fronts. Ohayou came first...But still he doubted that this Koyasu-kun could take his place. Sure he still had to learn the music side of the industry better and gain a bit more style...and charisma but he was trying very hard.
"Well at least we agree on one thing." he answered although he wasn't sure how Koyasu-kun could help. Even if he knew the business, the man had about as much tact as a hammer at times. They wouldn't win on Koyasu-kun's 'good looks'.
For once, he didn't argue, "Alright, I'll keep you in the loop and have copies of what I get and dig up sent to you." That was one area that Hiroki did thrive, research. He was a bit of a bookworm and a genuine support to Koyasu-sama while he had been the secretary.
"I'm meeting with the Firm that we use. So, I'll be in meetings most of the day with several lawyers and business consultants. I'm also needing to address this with the shareholders because I would not take Matsumoto Izo's monetary offer for Ohayou. In the next few days, Matsumoto Izo's lawyers are sure to be in touch."
As always, Hiroki was thorough and he obviously understood Koyasu-kun's desire to not work for Matsumoto Izo. "I guess trying to win Shou over is going to be a bit more difficult now. I'm sure that Matsumoto-san will be protecting his assets.
"I'm sure that...Koyasu-sama would be doing everything in his power if he were...here." And with Akihiko's perception he could tell that Hiroki was just as worried about his grandfather. Perhaps more, because Hiroki usually knew where Koyasu-sama was and it was obvious that right now...he hadn't a clue. But Hiroki was like an elephant...maybe not as pretty as the Tiger of Ohayou but he genuinely wanted to do everything to protect it.

Sighing, Akihiko looked up at the ceiling. "I need my ******** memory back..." he hissed, angry at himself for letting this happen. "You say I'm trying to win Shou-san over, but I can't even remember meeting the man!"
Narcissus beat his fist against the side of the bed, obviously pissed off. He wanted to help, but he was stuck... flat on his back literally...
It was odd... the man's motives. He wanted to win Shou over to hurt Izo, but not because Izo had supposedly been responsible for attacking Izzy and himself... He wanted to help Hiroki, but not out of some goodness of his heart...
His desires were for Ohayou.
Nothing more.
"How the hell am I supposed to do anything when I can't remember what's happened?!" it was frustrating, enough to make the man want to lash out, violently; physically and verbally.
There was also the problem of, if he'd done a charity event, surely there were new songs... songs he didn't know... songs that as soon as he was up and able, would probably be requested of him to sing on television programs... and to decline those would raise more suspicion.
"What are you going to tell the media about what happened to me?" he asked seriously. "I could be moved to my place before word gets out and you could just say I've holed myself up to work on my next project."
The last thing Narcissus needed was the media pounding at the hospital. He would draw attention... probably worry the shareholders as well... after all, Ohayou's best asset in the hospital twice in a little over a week?

"Yes, you actually made a deal with me to obtain Shou." he answered then explained that bit. "And you actually got Shou's attention surprisingly enough. He even was going to do the whole show, your songs and his when you were in the hospital and it was uncertain that you would even perform. He's quite a performer. No wonder Smash doesn't want to lose him. You made a deal with Matsumoto about the money from the album sales." Hiroki shook his head and sighed. "I wish I could have listened to your performance more closely but I was preoccupied."
"I'm not sure, Akihiko. Believe me, I wish I could fix all of this but, I guess, that as the doctor said, it will take some time. Some things will start to come back to you. But...others might not."
He paused again as he listened to the next question and rattled it around in his head for an answer because in the slew of problems, there was so many things that needed to be cared for. However, this was important. "Mm...god..what did he say. Yamada Haru told me that you had accepted an invitation from Shou to go on a vacation. From what I was told, Shou was very excited and determined that you...uumm.. and Izzy Lucky should...ah...go. You were suppose to go...mm...sailing. I think Shou has some private beach front property. We might be able to use that...I'm not sure. Either way, you need some time to heal. And yes,whatever is decided you have to be moved from the hospital soon as they give the ok."

"Vacation? With my manager?" Narcissus almost laughed at this.
Still...
It might be a good opportunity...
"I'll do it. Go with Shou is the invitation is still open when I'm healed up... as for now yes, I'll ask the doctor soon as I see him when I can be moved. Honestly, if someone saw me with this," he pointed to the bandage and bald spot. "I'd never live it down."
Always preoccupied with his appearance... or was he?
Could it have been that the young Koyasu just cracked a joke?
"Go, Asato. But keep me informed! And send that physical therapist in... my back's killing me..." he said, obviously thinking he'd get some quiet time with Michi.
Oh how wrong that would be...

"Ugh..now I just have to get Izzy Lucky to agree. Mmm...that might take a little work. I'm not sure he even knew there was a vacation planned. But...if you go on a vacation with him, Koyasu-kun. Please don't be an a** to him. Ignore him if you must but please don't make him feel any worse. He's had it very hard and already seeing psychologist because of what happened." Hiroki couldn't believe himself that he was even considering sending Izzy on a vacation with Koyasu-kun and Shou.
"Mmm...maybe sending Izzy with you is a bad idea." he muttered realizing that new Koyasu-kun's current attitudes might not be able to remain in check. "Maybe just you and Shou could go? I'm sure the invitation is still open."
"Alright, I'll send him in. And I'll send you information as I get it." he answered before walking to the door to send in Michi.

Familiar warmth.... Familiar tears.... Even in his sleep, Ryuukaze realized he was beside Naoko, and that his beautiful tenshi was crying. Warm, loving arms wrapped around the pianist, even though Ryu's eyes were still tightly closed. A small coo left his lips, almost like a yawn. It was so hard for him to wake up, though he wanted to. The residual effects of the anesthesia, on top of the pain medication, had made his sleep deep. Eyes barely fluttering open, the violinist managed to look at the blond in his arms. "Shhh...it's ok, Na-kun. Don't cry. It's ok. I'm here. Aishiteru." he managed a whisper as his eyelids threatened to close on him again, so heavy they were. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

Let the Memories of the Evening be...
the first think that you think of------------------------------------------------}:-  Tanaka Michi
Physical Therapist
Fingertips...walking up your spine...a tongue sliding right behind..
Michi waited outside while Hiroki and Narcissus spoke. It was difficult to wait like this especially when he guessed that Narcissus really hadn't a clue who he was. It was a little bit saddening for Michi because in a way he felt guilty for not stopping Narcissus from performing. Not that he could of but..still...It did disturb Michi to feel like the times they were together were just fine torn threads of mental fabric.
But soon Hiroki sent him inside without any comments of what to expect Except that Narcissus' back hurt. Well, at least that was something he was qualified to work on. So Michi slipped inside and closed the door behind him.
"I was told your back was out of place, Narcissus-san?" He asked not wanting to make the wrong assumption. "If you'd like me to take a look, just relax. I've worked with your body so many times now that I am learning what you shift out of place the most. I think if we tone up a couple of your muscles in certain areas that problem will become less frequent."
He wasn't going to come out and just start trying to remind Narcissus of who he was. He figured like the doctor's said it would take time. So instead he said with a light smile, Why don't I roll you over and I take a look to see what's aching."

"Stay asleep, Ryu-kun..." Naoko whispered, just holding the nearly unconscious man close. "You need your rest... you need to get better for me, okay?"
So Naoko was being tender and somewhat motherly...
He could be that way if he wanted, right?
Granted, after his mood lately, seeing this complete turn around with Ryu was a bit unsettling...
Still, the blond lay in Ryu's bed, holding his lover, not wanting to let go until absolutely necessary.
Anyone who tried to pry him off the violinist was going to be in for quite the shock... because Naoko wasn't about to be placated by anyone or anything.
Except his akuma...

"Stay....asleep?" he blinked forcefully, wanting to fight it. To see his little blond baby, that sweet face that he lived for, made promises to for a bright future. He still had a ring he wanted to one day convince Naoko to wear... So many things he wanted to think about and talk about. Having seen the other side of death many times, it shouldn't have affected him so...but this time had been different. Angels had been weeping his fate. It was far more intense and threatening than any other time. "I don't want sleep...I want you. Only you. Always." the violinist purred sleepily, turning his head left and right as if trying to get comfortable. His head felt heavy from the metal plate that had been installed...but it was kind of interesting, having one spot on his head that was completely invulnerable. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

"You can have me... but you need to sleep too, you're hurt." Naoko whispered, placing a soft kiss to the violinist's forehead. "Please... for me Ryu-kun? Sleep for me..."
He almost added, 'one of us needs to sleep' but thought better of it.
"I'm always yours, Ryu-kun... don't forget that... always..." the blond sighed softly, stroking what hair of Ryu's that he could.
Which was hard considering the bandages and that part of the man's hair was pretty much gone because of the surgery.

"Time....for sleep. Plenty of time...for that." he grinned, looking up from under heavily lidded eyes. "They put a metal plate in my head, Na-kun!" Ryu giggled. "I'm like...like Robo violinist now. Kinda...kinda interesting." he chuckled, some color coming back into his face as he joked, though never letting go of his tenshi. "Always mine?" he smiled, pondering that for a moment. "So...if i asked you to wear a pretty little tux and have a "wedding" with me, would you do it?" he teased, hoping to get a rise out of the pianist. A rise...or an answer. Either way. He was rather bound and determined to one day convince the blond to commit himself to him formally. It...it had actually always been a dream of his. To get married. A silly, girlish dream, but still a dream. Perhaps it wouldn't be a legal thing...but it would mean a lot to him. Someday... ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

"I know they did." Naoko replied softly, gently laying a hand where the bandage on Ryu's head was. "Guess airport security's going to be hell from now on, ne?"
Okay, so the blond was trying to be funny back... though inside, he really didn't feel it.
Ryu was hurt.
Because of him.
Ryu had nearly died.
Because of him.
Ryu was involved.
Because.
Of.
Him.
"Of course I'm always yours." the pianist spoke suddenly, arching an eyebrow at his lover in question. "Tux huh... wedding... I'd really like to but..."
'But keeping you involved is only going to hurt you more, isn't it?'
"But we have images to uphold, remember?" Naoko spoke, using a convenient excuse to get himself out of a true answer. "Our fans will throw fits if they know we're together... we might lose a lot of support too... and right now, with our careers on the line as they are... it's just not a good idea."
But, then again... would it ever REALLY be a good idea?

"He'll come with us. He IS my manager after all, I suppose..." Akihiko replied, blue gaze focused on the bed railing and not on Asato.
Which either meant he was thinking... or plotting... or just disinterested altogether.
One really couldn't tell with him.
Though, he hadn't exactly said he wouldn't be an a**.
Because after all, Narcissus was an a** to everyone.
Wasn't he?
And then the physical therapist made his return, talking and talking and talking and eventually, Akihiko held up a hand to get him to simply stop.
"You're rambling. Though apparently you're rambling about things semi-important, or maybe they are important and I just don't care. Either way... Tanaka-san, was it? Either way, you're not going to get me to roll over even if my life depended on it." his blue gaze focused up, catching Michi's eyes. "If you hadn't noticed, sitting up alone is making me rather ill and to be perfectly honest... I really don't want to know how my stomach will handle being, well, on my stomach. NOR how my head is going to react for that matter." Akihiko sighed, sensing a new dilemma.
If he couldn't roll over, how in hell was Michi to get to his back?
"No doubt my back is hurting because every damn time my head explodes in pain, all my muscles tense up. Frankly, I'd rather my head stopped it's throbbing, but it seems insistent upon it." his sharp blue gaze watched the man for a moment. "I can sit... for a time. Would that be enough time and space for you to poke and prod and find out if I really HAVE to be on my stomach to ease my back pain?"
