Smiling ever so gently, Akihiko returned that kiss then broke it, knowing neither of them wanted to make a scene. He unstrapped himself from the seat and stood, starting to get his own luggage down as well.
At least until Yuuji stopped him. "You're hurt. No heavy lifting. Remember?"
"Says the man with a concussion..." Narcissus returned, crossing his arms over his chest but letting his cousin do as he pleased.
"Michi, you and Nezumi-san will be going in a car, not a limo, with me... to your home Michi. You just need to tell the driver where. Akihiko and Lucky will take a separate car... also not a limo. We're trying to keep on the down low, remember?" Yuuji spoke, finally getting all the bags down.
They had some help loading the luggage into the respective cars, and then Akihiko even wrapped Izzy up in his own coat BEFORE putting a near Eskimo-like coat around the man. "There. Now you're warm and bundled and we have to get to the car or I AM going to freeze." the musician joked, leaving the plane with Izzy in tow.
Once in the car, it sped off toward Narcissus' house.
Yuuji on the other hand, was ushering Michi and Nezumi into the other car. "Come on guys. I'll make sure to call and see if Akihiko makes it home but right now we need to leave before someone spots us too. YOUR face," he pointed to the physical therapist. "Is pretty well known now too, you know."

The plane ride home had been a peach. Nezumi had slept soundly the entire way, his mouth and nose twitching every so often as he dreamed of various things.
Now that he was back in Japan, though, he was not a happy camper.
He. Was. COLD.
Frigid, even, despite the fact that he had bundled up tightly.
Climbing into the backseat of the waiting car, the manager shook, and shook, and shook...just like a little mouse.

One of Naoko's eyebrows rose in question as the bouquet was put in his hands. Of course they were the blond's favorite flower... and to find them this beautiful in the winter...
"Are... are you sure you came up here by yourself? No one followed you?" the pianist asked.
In other words, he was silently asking if Ryu had accidentally or on purpose, lead Jun to their secluded getaway.
However the younger Oumori shook his head and began to lead Ryu into the family room of the suite. "He's Shou right now, just to let you know. Hasn't been Sai all day but... oh, Ryu... we had so much fun playing with Ko-kun in the snow!" Naoko said, one hand instinctively gripping Ryuukaze's own in a means to bring them closer together.
Setting the flowers down on the counter, Naoko turned to Shou. "Look who came in early out of the blizzard." he said with a smile as Ryu walked into the room. "And it's okay Ko-kun... he's my friend. He's Shou's friend too. Ryu-kun plays violin for Shou so... in a way... he's kind of like another uncle."
An uncle that Naoko wanted to desperately wrap his arms around and kiss right now.
But it would be kind of hard to explain that to Ko... so he resisted the urge.

Shou looked up and Ko instinctively moved to Shou's side never having met Ryuukaze before. Shou slid an arm around Ko and held him gently. "It's ok, Ko....Ryuukaze is in my band. He's a good guy and Naoko's best friend." He didn't say boyfriend because he didn't want to stir any bad things up in the child's head or questions that he knew best not be addressed right now.
Ko peered up at Ryuu from his place beside Uncle Shou. He was very blonde just like Shou and Naoko. As well as slightly tanned wearing a Disney bathrobe with long footies. " You play violin? I play Piano! I'm good at piano because of my Uncle....umm.. Uncles." he pointed at Naoko because of course Naoko was his Uncle too.
Shou laughed and looked over at Ryuu. "Do you want to sit down and have some coffee with us...or cocoa? You must have had a long drive getting here. I assume you came alone?" He asked as he lifted Ko and carried him with him as he pulled out a separate mug with the other hand figuring that the man would want some after a 4 hour drive north. But his second question had another connotation to it. He didn't want to be dealing with drama...His vacation was to be shared with his small family here...he didn't want to deal with the man who had rejected his existence weeks before.

"Na-kun...there's nothing you need to worry about." Ryu assured the pianist. It wasn't a lie, really, in and of itself. He really didn't think Naoko had a reason to be worried. Heading into the main room, Ryu smiled, nodding in acknowledgement of Shou and Ko-kun. "Hi there, Ko-kun!" the violinist greeted as warmly as he knew how. "That's super exciting that you play piano! I LOVE listening to piano music!" he beamed, sitting his bag down and slipping his violin case out easily. "Hm? Oh, some coffee would be great, thanks, Shou-san! And, for the record, I came here with love and Christmas cheer, so nope, not alone!" he chuckled jokingly, making it sound like he did indeed come alone, as far as other people were concerned. Lifting his violin to his chin, Ryuukaze set into a fierce-yet-playful trill on his instrument, smiling and swaying with the tune to entertain the boy. It was a fun way of introducing himself as, apparently, one of the boy's "uncles". They all had music in common, so it seemed only fitting. ~( 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
Izzy looked back and forth between Narcissus and Yuuji then sighed. There was no stopping their child like bickering was there. "Look I can carry the bags . Both of you just please stop being brats."
But of course neither man listened to him and soon Akihiko was tucking him into not one but two coats. Izzy looked like an Eskimo indeed and it was probably for the best because as soon as he stepped out side the weather was frighteningly cold! He shuffled to the car being dragged along by Narcissus and scooted inside the car so quick that he could have been the Flash. How he hated cold weather. As soon as Narcissus was inside, he acquired a heat Leech!
There was only one thing that Izzy had tried very hard to ignore this flight back. And that was Michi's Manager, Nezumi. Izzy could not think of that man as a good manager in any way shape or form. He wondered why he was still working at Ohayou. If he ever did speak to the man he'd probably have given him a piece of his mind especially where Chiyou had been concerned. Izzy was actually thankful that they were taking two different cars.
"Are you warm now?" he asked Akihiko as he snuggled close. The man should have worn his own coat! "You have me so bundled I can hardly move!" He felt like the small boy in that Christmas movie that had been put in a snow suit so large he couldn't even waddle.
It was slow going getting to Narcissus' house as the snow started billowing fiercely outside. "We really are going to be snowed in for Xmas."

Michi got up and dragged his own bags out shaking his head as Akihiko and Yuuji had their moment. But finally he got outside and followed Nezumi and Yuuji after telling the driver where to go. "It's not my fault that everyone knows my face so well! Narcissus seems to have marked me for life, Takagi-san." He winked at the man and then slipped into the car.
"Man, it is going to be a blizzard! Just look at that Snow!" he exclaimed as he sat down in the back seat with Nez. Then he took a good look at Nez and wrapped an arm around the manager shoulder. "Whoa, Nezumi-san. You're shaking like a leaf. Takagi-san can you get the driver to turn up the heat some. My manager is about to shiver into another dimension." He pulled Nezumi next to him and smirked, "Your Star will keep you warm for while...Just like the summer sun."

Nezumi warmed up, alright. Immediately, he turned a thousand shades of red as his handsome star pulled him close, warming him with his own body, of all things.
Kami-sama! Stop blushing, you fool! He's your star! You're his manager! Nothing is going to happen! Nothing should happen! He can't even mean it like that! the mouse screamed at himself mentally, though his trembling did begin to subside.
His blush, however, didn't. Nobody had ever pulled him close like this before.
It felt....good. Really good.
That...made Nezumi feel really, really nervous.

The bright red blush brought a grin to Michi's face. He was a terrible flirt even more so after spending so much time with Naricissus. He was a flirt that wasn't committed to anyone or thing. He made the rounds through Ohayou so far. Chiyou, Narcissus, Yuuji... He had even been with Hayato of Smash. An encounter that still had left him in a daze. He had no plans of settling anywhere with anyone. But sometimes, he preferred longer term romances with Narcissus. There was a good synergy there even if the man had decided to shack up with his manager and attempted to be a one man guy. Michi thought that would be impossible for Narcissus but what could he do. Instead his temptations got the better of him and he seduced a married man. That man sitting right in front of him...Yuuji.
Now Yuuji...dang...he made Michi only desire another go. Even though Michi scolded himself over and over about his time with Yuuji. Now that was one adventure he could NEVER tell Narcissus or anyone else about. Because Yuuji was dangerous and Narcissus might just look at Michi a hair differently if he did.
So then there was Nezumi right here under his arm. Blushing and cute mouse. Oh Michi wouldn't mind a go with his manager. But then again, afterwards it might be too awkward Nez to work. At least that is what Michi guessed. But on Michi's end, it was just good fun. The mouse was a sexy little thing under those dark rimmed glasses.
"You're warming up Nezumi-san. Man you're as bad as Ishi-san when it comes to cold. You should have told us and we would have had a second eskimo suit just for you." Michi laughed as he looked out the window.
"So much snow. Mm...Hey Takagi-kun. Do you think will make it to my house in this weather?" Michi saw that some cars already had given up. He was just a tad worried about how they'd fare.

Shou smiled at Ko in his arm who had become very curious about the instrument that Ryuu had pulled out of it's case. Squirming just a bit, his uncle released him down to the ground and he scampered over to listen to his newest Uncle, Ryuu.
Ko grinned and clapped his hands with the tune. "Do you know any Christmas music? Rudolph?! Santa Clause is coming to Town?? Uncle Shou says SANTA is coming soon!" The boy seems like any normal kid right now in regards to Christmas. He scrambled over and grabbed up Naoko's hand with his small one. "Uncle Naoko helped pick out my stocking for Santa at the Disney store. So we're tacking it up here so Santa can find it!"
"Are you going to be staying with us tonight Uncle....un...Ryuuuukaa....Ryuu?" Obviously the boy couldn't quite get out Ryuu's who name right the first time Just like Narcissus the name was big.
Shou turned from the counter and brought over a full mug of coffee and handed it to Ryuu, "Christmas Cheer and Love are welcome here. I just wish for the best of holidays...and the most peaceful of one. I don't want that serenity broken."
Sitting back down, Shou took up his own cup and sipped again, while watching Ko with a content smile. He had picked up a few things for Ko from Santa he only had to figure out how to sneak them out of the bags and into the living room, in to the stocking and maybe the rest of the packages somewhere close by. Actually, he wanted to speak with Naoko about that challenge because they had to get the boy to bed, and then hopefully sneak everything out with the child waking up. Santa had to be...clever.
"So Ryuukaze-san, how's your song writing coming along? I've heard you've been busy from Yamada-san." asked Shou as he leaned on his hands, his blond hair drifting long down his back. "I've been writing today. This winter air does me good. I'm thinking that a walk into the private onsen attached to this suite is in order before bed. I didn't want to chance the public eye in the main baths. Luckily this suite offers its own private access."

"Ah....um....yes....warming up..." the manager sputtered, wanting to put his head in his hands in embarrassment. He couldn't even talk straight! How awful of him.
And yet...he couldn't help nuzzling just a tad bit closer. The warmth was pleasurable, after all. Surely he couldn't be faulted for that? He was quite cold, after all.

"Of course I know those songs, Ko-kun, and I'll be happy to play them for you...just as soon as I drink this coffee." Ryu smiled, taking the cup from Shou. "And yes, I'll be spending the night. I'll be staying until we all leave. You can call me Ryu, by the way. That's the name I was born with. Ryuukaze is just something I use for my music." the violinist explained, taking a sip of his drink and placing his violin in the case with his free hand. "Shou-san..." he directed his attention to the vocalist, "About that. On my way in, I arranged massages for yourself, Naoko, and I, and a kid's spa treatment for little Ko-kun, if he's comfortable with that, that is. If not, then I can hang out with him while you and Naoko get private massages. Thought it might be a nice way to end the evening. The onsen will be there. As far as my music, it's just fine. Got a lot done, but I'm ready for a break, so....let's take a break! Let me know when you're ready to relax and I'll call and have them prepare the rooms." he smiled warmly and spoke matter-of-factly. It was a gift, after all. It would be terribly rude to have his gift rejected. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

Michi smirked as Nez snuggled in. Little grey fuzzy mouse was really red in the face but that made it more fun to tease him. "Good, good. Mmm...I bet if we're lucky my mom will have hot water already just in case. Then we can have hot tea to warm up. Or maybe coffee...there's a machine just around the corner of my mom's house that has more coffee than tea in it. Plus cans of Coke, Dr. Pepper and corn soup. I guess people really like their morning coffee so I think it gets quite a bit of traffic."
He mused about the idea of seeing his mom and crashing in his old room. Not that the house was all that big but there was enough room for a few guests. Of course, with a certain mouse, he'd probably have to make sure his mother stuck the man in the room that held the most heat. Or cover Nez with a ton of comforters and a heated carpet. Somehow he imagined an almost gerbil like state of Nez with small hole in the midst of a big pile just for breathing. A slight wiggle and everything might shake around the mouse as he moved. That caused a chuckle to escape Michi as he gave Nez a warm squeeze at the shoulders.
"You're nose is red Nezumi-san. Are you sure you're warm enough?" he asked even though he knew what the red was really caused from. "So I get a few days off before we start the rest of my schedule. God, MeKA gave me a copy of the spread they are publishing of me. I'm kind of nervous. Not sure I'll show those photos to my mom. She might wonder what I've been doing." He grinned covering up a tad of embarrassment. Sometimes Michi still didn't know what to think of the new world Narcissus had shoved him into.

"YAY!" Ko squeaked as he bounced holding Naoko's hand. Right now the child was so far removed from the darkness that had threatened to suffocate him in the past. And he could feel like a kid again.
Maybe in truth it was the Peacock's wings and tail that spread so far and wide to block the path of darkness even as the edges of the web touched the exotic feathers. That peacock sipping on the coffee with his serene smile was now thinking of his own music. Such things did happen as inspiration had filled the room in the form of the violin.
"Uncle Ryuu." repeated Ko as he scooted back around to hot cocoa and took up the mug mimicking Shou who sat so composed. "Oooh. I can't wait to hear!"
Shou's eyes twinkled as he followed the child's movements. Ko brought life to his world and maybe contentment he had not experience in years. But then, Ryuu spoke up. "Massages? Spa...treatment?" The peacock's head tilted and then he blinked, "Ah...mm.. I don't know. I'd prefer if Ko had anything done not to be...alone with someone he doesn't know. What does this spa treatment entail?" It was almost as if in a heart beat span, he was focused on the other star intently.
But for his own part, he wondered if Ryuukaze even realized that he never undressed for staff that had not been vetted by Yamada-san. It was the price of being such a mystery. The idea made him very uncomfortable and while he didn't want to reject the gift, he much rather not. So he attempted traditional Japanese methods of working around this problem trying to avoid offending the giver, "Mmm....wouldn't you rather have time with Naoko-kun, Ryuukaze-san in a massage? I know it has been awhile for the two of you. And I'm perfectly content to watch over Ko as he receives this treatment."

Kai smirked as he brought the blankets back over. "Okay well... I heard this story from a girl down the street when I was a kid. She told me that every night this weird black Mercedes-Benz, obviously a foreign car, would come out of nowhere and drive around her aunt's district. The hum of the engine could be heard every time but it was rarely seen. One day, when gossiping with some other local housewives, her aunt came across the rumor that it was a cursed car, and anyone who saw it would fall prey to it's curse."
Nakai sat down on the sofa next to Chiyou, carefully beginning to wrap the 'kid' in the thicker blanket. "So naturally, everyone tended to stay inside... except this one girl. I guess she enjoyed ideas of the paranormal, because she started to question the people in the area. See... she wanted to know the truth herself and she was adamant about the fact that someone had to be driving the car in the first place. But see... no one would discuss the car with her. One old man let the girl in on the secret that to speak ill of the foreign car, was to invite it to visit you. He said to her 'No one speaking about that car twice without feeling it's curse!' and of course this only intrigued her more."
Finally, the guitarist had himself all comfortable with the blanket and he continued his story. "That night, the girl was woken from her bed by a strange sound. She crept downstairs and looked out the window next to the front door. Everything was still and quiet... until she heard a car engine. The sound grew steadily. Getting louder... and louder... and louder... The girl started to shiver, the full moon illuminating the street outside. Still the engine's hum grew louder and louder and louder." the blond paused for dramatic effect. "The next morning, the girl's little sister walked down the stairs, rubbing her eyes sleepily, and stepped on something in the hall near the front door. Reaching down she picked up her sister's one lone slipper, it's partner, and owner, nowhere to be found."
