He felt... odd.
But warm... and comfortable... and by some miracle of the gods the hangover hadn't quite kicked in... yet.
Dark eyes opened, his glasses gone from his face so everything seemed a tad bit blurry. The contacts that the man wore to hide his red gaze always made things fuzzy... thus the glasses were actually needed to counter balance his sight. After all, the Doctor had fixed his bad eyesight ages ago...
"Ha... ru..." Ishihara whispered, blinking slowly.
He knew that smell... that voice... that gentle touch...
"Gomen... guess the stress got to me..." his voice was soft and somewhat telling.
He felt bad about getting drunk like this...
"I'm not usually so social... I think..." You groaned slightly, closing his eyes as the light started hurting his head. "It all just got to me and I kept drinking..."

"I'm here...Although you look a little worse for wear." Haru answered softly and stroked You's forehead. "You surprised me....I'm glad you're ok. Although I think you're going to have a heck of a headache by the time you're sober."
"You must be feeling too much stress from the upcoming tour. I know I used to handle all this for Shou. Gomen. It's just a little big for me this year." He rubbed You's temples and sighed.
"And my star has shown up at Ometosando's Softbank to get a new phone unannounced. Geesh....this morning is not going as I planned. So don't be surprised when Shou is all over the news today. I've already had more men sent there." Haru really needed to hurry to rein in his star but he didn't want to leave You feeling like crap either.
"Not sure what got into him....But maybe you should work from home today. Ko can miss a day of classes. I'll make sure he does his homework," said Haru with concerned smile.

'Not sure what got into him....'
Hearing those words made Ishihara groan internally and he closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the gorgeous man who sat beside him.
Raising one arm up, You draped it over his eyes. "It's my fault..."
He couldn't keep this a secret...
Oh how he wanted to... but Ishihara loved Yamada too much. It would eat the shark alive and he knew it.
"I took the promotional list over after work and... I... I don't know what happened, Haru-kun... I just..." You stopped, unable to get the words out.
His chest felt tight and he wanted to just start crying, just like the night before. His head hurt, the light hurt, his whole body ached...
Ishihara was still drunk... and he knew when he sobered up, his world was going to suck royally.
Taking a deep breath, You pushed the words out bluntly.
"I kissed him..."

Haru stopped and tilted his head when he heard what You told him....and for a LONG LONG moment, he stood there. Because Haru couldn't really believe what he just heard. "You....kissed.....Shou?" Haru was stunned because here his partner was telling him this and he was like wait...Shou? Why the heck would You kiss Shou?
"Are you sure you kissed Shou. You're still drunk You.. I mean if you Did kiss Shou, I'm certainly wanting to know the reason why. Because most of the time when a man cheats on a partner they usually don't come home to reveal it right afterwards." Haru leaned up against the wall and then for once in his life wanted a cigarette but getting into that habit would be down right stupid.
"Ok...start explaining. I'm not going to scream about it...nor throw any sort of fit. I want a logical conversation. Certainly I could see you interested in other men but...Shou? He's not your type. I know that." Ok so obviously he couldn't just run to Softbank with this new situation unfolding. He just hoped the bodyguards could corral the star and get him out of there!

"I don't know why..." Ishihara replied with a sigh.
Carefully he sat up, holding his head for a few moments. He reached over onto the nightstand, groping around until his fingers found his glasses. With those back on his face he could see... that helped the headache some...
But not much.
"Every day it's just... I'm not attracted to him! I've never been attracted to him in the slightest!" the VP of PR sighed, rubbed the back of his aching neck.
Yeah the headache was starting...
Ishihara looked to his partner. "Something's wrong... with me I mean. It's like this this feeling just comes over me and I want him... I... I could barely stop myself... But... but I knew I couldn't go further because I love you. I turned into some animalistic lust-filled loon! Gods, Haru... I can't even begin to apologize but... but I couldn't keep this a secret from you. You were the first man who loved me... and I want you to be the only one I love. I don't love Shou. I'm not IN love with him and he's not in love with me. I just..." he sighed again, running his fingers through his hair. "I thought about it last night while I was drinking... there are nights you come home lately and I want to ravage you just like I wanted to ravage Shou last night... days when I'm too close to Naoko-san and I want to do the same... It's like anyone in Shou's orbit... because it's strongest when he's around. I..."
Yes he'd been thinking about it, and part of the reason he'd gotten drunk was because he figured it out somewhat.
"I haven't been right since I was shot..."
No, Ishihara couldn't say that he suspected that the damned Doctor in the depths had done something to him. Ever since he'd been given a heightened sense of smell... a gift he hadn't agreed to.
The shark would need to speak with the spider about this... it had to be reversed or fixed or something because at this rate, You knew, he'd end up trying to rape the musician and that wouldn't do the company any good whatsoever.

......What a tangled web we weave......
Haru stood there must listening as You explained the depths of his issue. He wasn't even sure where to begin with his thoughts. But this was serious. Why would You be acting like a craving maniac for Shou of all people. "Do you think it might be something Shou is wearing? Like cologne or maybe a shampoo. I mean usually people don't start rushing in wanting to suddenly....make out with someone usually. But maybe he's wearing something that you're sensitive to?"
He frowned trying to wrap his brain around it. This was very strange and well he couldn't have Shou and You together if this was happening without You's consent! "Well obviously, you can't go on our tour now. Since we don't know what's going on with you, I don't want to risk you or him. He must be wearing something that your....smelling."
Pulling out his phone, he thumbed through to a phone number. "Why don't we have some tests run with a doctor just to have you checked out. Since it did started after you were shot, maybe there is a medical reason? I've never heard of anything like this before. But...I'll personally go through Shou's home and throw away his cologne and soap and even washing machine soap. Get him a completely different brand of everything even his makeup."
He didn't have any clue that something much darker had happened in the depths of the Pit. Haru wrote down the number and put it on the bedside table. Haru didn't get angry, didn't get flustered like other men. This problem was something off the wall but he knew how much You loved him so dealing with things in a sensible logical way was the right thing to do. "However, whatever the problem, getting drunk....only makes things harder on you." He tapped You on the nose and tried to consider more possibilities but he had no answers.

"Ha... Haru..." Ishihara looked at his partner in surprise.
The man wasn't mad at him...
Had You just imagined that his lover would be pissed? Then again, from everything Ishihara could tell, he hadn't meant to do this.
"I... I think it's smell... scent related..." the shark whispered, trying to figure out just how much he could tell his partner.
He couldn't say a word about the Doctor though. Not after that warning from the now deceased failure of an experiment he had offed. The last thing You needed was Yamada running off for answers or revenge.
"But yes... tests... Shou-san did say that he was wearing new cologne so perhaps that's it? Maybe it's just getting on your clothing or Naoko-san's clothing? But..." You sighed softly. "I understand, Haru-kun... Until this problem is resolved I shouldn't be on the tour."
Getting checked out by a normal doctor wouldn't hurt, he hoped... As long as the physician didn't mess with his eyes, Ishihara figured he'd be fine. On the other hand, the shark would, once completely back to normal, speak with Matsumoto-san about his suspicions.
This made it incredibly hard to do his job! Tutoring Ko, keeping an eye on Izo's cash cow, and just his PR job were in jeopardy.
Reaching out, Ishihara clasped Yamada's hand after getting his nose tapped. "I felt guilty. You're my first and only and... betraying you... I know it was just a kiss but it could have gone further. I think everyone kissing your star is pissing him off. He seemed completely alright with the idea of me continuing but... I wasn't. Whatever came over me... the longer I ignore it... the stronger the urge becomes. The guilt was eating me alive and I just wanted it to stop for a while. One drink became two then ten then... my car's still at the bar though. I took a taxi home. Forgive me for messing up your morning, Haru-kun."
What he really wanted forgiveness for though... was his actions.
How had it come to this?
He loved this man more than life itself!

"Scent related. Mm...ok. well then we'll start with cleaning up Shou's scents. And we should change out your scents too. Just in case something in the air is setting you off mixing with his scent." Haru looked at his watch then sighed and turned on the TV in the bedroom to the Entertainment News channel.
On the TV was Softbank and Shou...and his guards....and hundreds of fans. Good lord. "Well, looks like he's not going anywhere right now. Greaaaat....Well the publicity is good. At least, he looks good...OK since my day has turned completely on it's end, I'm going to empty out our house of all the body scents before I go charging down to Softbank to acquire my Star. You can buy new stuff of different brands before you go to work...tomorrow because I think it might be best for you to stay inside today. You're going to have a terrible headache I'm afraid." He sighed slowly and rubbed his head.
"I'm sure that everyone kissing him is pissing him off. And...you really didn't betray me. You were honest with me so....don't treat yourself too harshly. However, we must make sure it doesn't go further. So you're also going to the doctor today and get tests. Matsumoto-san won't want you in the office if you're feeling crappy so you probably should call in." He walked into the bathroom and started throwing soaps, cologne and scents away.
Then he paused and glanced back at You, "Shou's feeling rather alone right now that part is obvious So...he might have been interested in you and thought it was an opportune moment. I really want to avoid him dating someone like Katsumi so maybe your kiss will keep him from making any poor choices. Once he's on tour he'll be fine."
Then as he tossed out the shampoo he said, "Once I throw out all this stuff and replace it at both houses. Shou will start using the new stuff. And so will you. Then we can see if this was the answer. If not, we will try something else."
Walking out of the bathroom, he approached You and brushed the hair out of his eyes. "I forgive you for the morning...and I'll forgive you for last night's mistakes. We'll figure it out as best we can. Ok?"

Feeling the gentle touch of Yamada's fingers as he brushed the hair away, You couldn't help but smile. He reached out again, wrapping his arms around the man and pulling him close.
"Then I won't dwell on it. I'll feel guilty enough to, I pray, not let my willpower slacken again, but I won't let it interfere. If it even comes close to happening again I'll let you know. Maybe it is just the new cologne... maybe it will go away on it's own? But you're right... a checkup and some tests today. I'll be sure to let Matsumoto-san know that I've taken a sick day."
'I'll let him know more than that actually... hangover or not.' he thought angrily to himself.
Gently, Ishihara kissed his partner. "Gomen, I probably reek of alcohol... but I couldn't help just that one kiss." he said with a soft smile. "Aishiteru, Haru-kun..."
Letting the man go, You leaned back against the headboard, feeling the throbbing ache already start in. The hangover was going to be murder, but at least he wasn't nauseous... yet...
"Please don't let Shou-san date Katsumi-san. It would be terrific press but I think, in the end, kissing episodes will be the least of your star's worries. Katsumi-san is... very very difficult and different, Haru-kun. I..." sighing the man shook his head. "I have to get this resolved so I can go on the damn tour. Someone has to keep an eye on that brat or else, I fear, he's going to end up doing something stupid to get bad publicity or worse. He's always into trouble..."
Meanwhile, a text came in for Yamada's phone.
It was from the pianist... the man thinking, just before he drifted back to sleep, that it would be best to tell Shou's 'Hamu' just what was going on.
'Yamada-san,
I caught a cold yesterday after a quick trip for a physical to the doctor. Sai said I couldn't have caught it then but it isn't abnormal for me to be sick before a tour. Overworking really isn't good on my body. So Shou-san told me to take the day off. But I didn't want him and Ko-kun catching it so I moved back into my place for the time being. That and... Shou-san was really upset last night. I don't know why though. I heard a thud and woke up and then I found him eating Indian food downstairs and ranting... he... what he said just... well it hurt so I thought maybe I should give him some space for a while too. He's really stressed out, Yamada-san... and I'm kind of worried. Sai said he was ungodly sore too... Oh and apparently he broke his phone so I thought to tell you before you flipped out. He wanted you to bring chicken soup by for me later but I can manage if you haven't the time. Gomen... my head's all stuffy and I feel like I'm forgetting something... but... oh my costumes fit, thankfully. I'm just going to get some sleep today... but, what out for him, ne? I really am worried... especially after the other day.'

Haru hugged You back even though the smell of booze was a bit much for Haru. "Ok...good..Just move forward and lets figure out what caused it. And we'll have to figure out how to console Shou. You're going to have to work on this issue because well...you have to work with Shou. So...I think if you need to talk with him, do it in the company of others. Like me...the rest of the team. Just don't be alone with him."
"Oh heck no...Katsumi-san is way too easy to read. He's trouble..through and through. He has no concept of the world around him which is odd. Give me too many thoughts of how he might have grown up. But...no, he's not dating Shou. Katusmi-san's personality has a dangerous edge to it. If I studied him long enough I probably could figure out his hangups. But right now I don't have time. Later...when I'm off tour maybe." Haru pulled away from You and crossed his arms as he thought about Katsumi and Shou. Haru may not know Katsu's real background but it was obvious the man could read Katsu just from the little things. He had to be good at protecting his interests and knowing the possible threats around him. Of course, this was the same reason Izo had issues with Haru. Haru could sometimes read to much of the situation around him.
However, as Haru's phone buzzed, he pulled it out and stared. "Oh great....more on my plate." He showed You the message then started typing back.
First - Shou was not angry at you. If that is what you were thinking and trying ask but not quite asking in this text. It is much easier to just ask, Naoko. Shou got in an frustrating conversation with a co-worker last night about the promotional goods. I am guessing he threw his phone after the conversation. The Indian food...probably an apology. I'm dealing with that problem today. As for the cold. Ok. Since we're shooting the PV today as soon as I can dig Shou and Ko out of Harajuku, I will have chicken soup delivered to your apartment. Yes, I'm worried too. I might convince Shou to take a couple days off before the tour to relax. Not common thing to do but he probably could use some time for himself. He's a little sensitive lately. Yamada Haru
He put his phone back into his pocket after showing You what he texted back. "Naoko doesn't need to know about what happened but he needs something to make sure he stops pursuing the conversation. Tour issues should do that. But anyway, there is enough of the truth there that it isn't a complete lie."

'Ah... gomen, my mind feels like it's going in circles and not getting anywhere but yeah, that was what I thought to ask. I hoped he wasn't pissed about me being sick. Arigatou, Yamada-san. I think that's a good idea though. He's strung out... and while this might be normal for Shou-san... I don't want him blowing a gasket when we need him. Sorry for causing trouble. I'll stay out of your hair now. Gomen.'
-Naoko
Sighing softly, the blond put the phone back down on the bed and snuggled into the pillow.
He'd have given anything for warm arms around him right now... but that was a fantasy that he'd have to dream of and nothing more. No one would come to his rescue today... because there was no one who could.
Sai was locked away within Shou and Shou was busy.
Oreo was stuck in the depths of a hell that Naoko understood all to well.
Hayato... Jun... was no longer a part of this world.
And Ryu had left him for good without so much as a 'goodbye'.
Naoko was alone and he had to learn how to be alone. Yamada had said that was important.
But sometimes, warm arms to hold him as he slept, were a luxury he sorely missed.
You groaned as he read that text. "I don't envy you, Haru-kun... not at all." he said with a slight yawn, feeling sleepy all the sudden.
Course he hadn't slept much.
But he knew that if he did, he'd have to make sure he slept on his side... just in case. A well placed pillow behind him would fix that problem, but right now he wanted to be as helpful as he could be to his partner.
"I know I've a hangover but I can still do things. I'll cook a nice dinner tonight so let me know when you're on the way home. You need a home cooked meal to keep up your strength after a day like this. And I think you've the right idea. I just can't be alone with Shou or Naoko. Though... you know Ko-kun doesn't smell the same so maybe all of his things are alright?"
Of course Ishihara had no idea that this experiment of theirs would fail. He didn't know that his internal chemistry had been altered...
"I hope this works... it makes me feel like a ravenous shark and your star is a sweet succulent seal, you know. And that's just flat out creepy if you ask me."

......What a tangled web we weave......
"Yes, I know you can do things but I'm trying to be as efficient as possible right now. Ok...replace our scent products and make dinner but I'm going to be extremely late tonight. Since I still have to go to Shou's house and clean out ever single scent product. Replacing all that is going to be a beast." he groaned just with the thought of how ugly his day had become. Especially when he looked at the TV again and could see that the media crews were now swarming the area around where Shou was. "But I have to get that done today. Who knows maybe one of those things mixed with something else makes a light aphrodisiac and you're just sensitive. Either way, I want to make sure I n** this in the bud because god knows if it happens to someone else it would be a mess."
"Maybe Ko-kun is using kid versions of products. He doesn't wear makeup that often but that also would rule out the laundry detergent because they all used the same liquids there." He threw the bag from the bathroom into a larger trash bag so all of it could be collected together. "I doubt that my cologne is an issue because you don't wear that and you're not trying to jump me like Shou. So that's probably ok. You and I wear different scents so mm...you're going to have to use a different brand for awhile I think, sweetheart."
Then he turned his head and rolled his eyes, "Hah...sweet succulent seal? Mm....Well I think you should probably visualize something less tempting. Like...mm...a spiny porcupine or skunk. Something that will bite your but hard if you get too close. Also, maybe try wearing a mask at work over the mouth for colds. Maybe that will lessen the scent until we uncover what it is." His words were a little louder since he was out in the hall dealing with the laundry detergent and then the hand soaps in the kitchen.
"I'll get with the staff and see if any new products have been put into Shou's studio that would only be used on Shou or Naoko. Then that should cover most bases because Shou isn't getting out enough to get any odd scents from outside sources right now." He poured all the items he collected into a big bag then leaned that against the wall. Seemed ashamed to get rid of this all but he couldn't say what was causing You's issue.
"Ok...do you need anything else from me before I go running off to Softbank?" asked Haru as brought his coat back into the bedroom to drag it on. "I've all the smelly stuff for clothes and body scents collected and in a bag. "Your job is to replace all of them with acceptable stuff and make dinner. God knows when I'll be home tonight. OH...and go to the doctor! I want to hear the results from the tests tonight."

"Well at least that rules out the detergent. I..." but then Ishihara rolled his eyes. "I could try to jump you if you wanted me to. Just... might want to wait until after the hangover."
Carefully the man lay down on his side, watching his partner in the bathroom and listening attentively.
"I could put some peppermint oil in the mask... that way the scent of peppermint would be prominent and perhaps I wouldn't end up trying to tackle your star." the shark added louder so his voice carried through the apartment.
You liked the idea of a mask. At least until they could figure out what the hell was wrong... or until he could confront the man he felt responsible for this new problem.
After all, that damn Doctor loved to ******** with people...
"What if the results take a bit longer?" Ishihara asked seriously, knowing that sometimes doctors weren't as quick as most people would like. "I'll go to the doctor and get the tests, AND I'll make sure to replace everything and make dinner for about ten tonight. Does that sound late enough?" he asked, not wanting things to get too cold if he had to wait.

"No...I think I jumping me with a hangover might bring about bad results. Certainly not sexy results." Haru said with a wink. "Peppermint might be a good idea until we figure this out. I'll try to keep a bodyguard at Shou's side at the studio but you know that's difficult to do when he's working."
"Mm....well if the results take longer then I'll have to wait but hopefully with today's medicine the results aren't all that far behind." He pulled on his shoes and tied them then glanced back at You, "It sounds good.I just hope that Shou decides not to pull an all nighter. If he goes nutty on me, I'll call. He won't shoot both PVs tonight. He's not as foolish as Katsumi but he might get into his perfectionist mode and will be doing retakes till the sun shines. If I can get him out of there early after the PV shooting then I could have an early evening. Wish me luck." Haru thought he would need such luck considering what had happened. He really had his own worries about You's actions but he wasn't going to put forth any thoughts about this problem until he heard test results from the doctors.
"Ok...so I'm off to pull Shou out of Softbank and get things going at the Studio. I'll see you some time tonight. If you need me, call." He leaned in and gave You a kiss upon the lips before hopping up and grabbing his briefcase then leaving in a rush.

"I'll pick up the peppermint oil then." Ishihara spoke softly just before Yamada gave him a goodbye kiss. "Be careful today. I'll call if I need anything but call me if something happens."
He was around Shou's group for more than just being Ko's tutor after all.
With his partner gone, the man sighed and took his glasses off, then the contacts came out. If he was going to be ill from drinking, he'd rather not be throwing up and worrying about his contacts falling out.
Red eyes glanced around the room, the man able to see perfectly now. He quickly grabbed his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Izo's secure line.
This was something that needed to be reported... because if the Doctor was doing experiments on people who were unwilling and free of the dark...
The man needed to be kept in check.
After this, hangover or not, Ishihara would head to the physician Haru wanted... then he'd get answers from the depths. Ono Takashi had a hand in his reconstructive surgery so naturally... that man had to know if the Doctor had tampered with the shark.
Akihiko was already sitting in the living room in a chair across from the sofa. He had a feeling that Chiyou would want to sit with Izzy, and in truth the man didn't mind that at all.
Long as the kid didn't try anything funny anyway.
"Hideki... before we get to dinner and, well, before the others get here... I wanted to talk to you about work." the young tiger spoke as he waited for Chiyou to sit down.
Once the young man was comfortable, Narcissus began what probably wasn't going to be the best conversation in the world.
"I know you've been working hard on your music in Nakai's absence and that you've taken steps to be independent lately as well. However... with the way things are now, with the way Ohayou is... I'm afraid I can't let you tour." he leaned back in the chair, crossing one leg over the other at the knee. "The paperwork has already been finalized so arguing with me won't fix anything. Also, Izzy didn't know about this until after I'd made the decision so I ask you to please not be angry with him. I'm concerned for your safety for one thing, but I'm also loath to bet company funds on you performing live at this time. You will be kept on as an artist of Ohayou and can continue to produce music... but unless you can see... unless you get real working implants... then you're not going to be able to perform live anywhere."
He didn't enjoy having to come to this decision, but the company couldn't afford Chiyou to fall off stage or worse, injure a fan. It was a tough call, one that he made as a chairman and not as the kid's friend.
"We are prepared to pay for you to receive surgery if possible... but I won't let you on a stage blind, Hideki. And I won't keep your hopes raised up thinking that you'd get to perform your new songs live either. What happened to you was a traumatic tragedy... and while I wish I could help further... after what you've done for me personally... I have to think about the company and it's finances."
He wouldn't tell the young man that Chiyou's salary was going to come out of Akihiko's own pocket. Keeping him on was the least the young Koyasu could do to repay Hideki for possibly saving his life at the charity event.
