In The Pit
Shizuka raised an eyebrow then smile darkly. He didn't need to answer that question. He knew by the look on You's face that You assumed the right answer. The lean muscles rippled under the assassin's shirt with eager anticipation. But he knew that Ishihara You was in no condition to be a challenge right now. The assassin before Ishihara You was a creature that chomped at the bit for a real fight. But he was the product of the Doctor and as Ishihara You could guess, enhanced with perfected and imperfect experiments. But even the imperfect ones, had made this creature before him an elite assassin.
Of course, I understand the 'cat's' meow. His curiosity is vast and his fees are expensive. Mm...the fear of debt to me probably doesn't outweigh the fear of what the gum will spare you. I'm sure you will find a way to make more before it runs out. If not, well then, be prepared to pay a visit...sober.
The Serpent wasn't the Doctor but he knew enough to know where to get the 'medication' for every experiment that the doctor had done. He dipped his donut into the coffee and swirled it around before pulling it up and taking a bit.
#1's words were nothing new to the Serpent. Hard to find new things to say about problems you couldn't fix. I wouldn't expect the Doctor to ask when he wants to experiment. He is a man bent on the whim of a moment. And if you were a whim in that moment, has little bearing on who or what you are. You've mostly benefited from him though. You should feel lucky. That you're getting by with just one scrap.
Yes, this man before him should feel so lucky...because he could still say he was human.
---------------------
Oreo blinked, "Really!? Thanks!!" and took the phone. It almost made him feel giddy inside. Like a kid with a golden ticket. It didn't take him long to start typing out his message.
Naoko,
Hey, I'm sorry I've not been available but I've been sick as a dog. Can't even see clients. It sucks. I miss your visits...and running my fingers through that silky blond hair of yours.
I know your tour is about to kick off and I sure wish I could see it. If I could go to one concert it would be one you were playing in. I've been listening to your music on the little MP3 player you brought. It helps me get to sleep at night. And think of your blush under my fingertips.
I hope you make some incredible music on tour. Take photos! I've never seen what it's like to be backstage and on the stage! I bet you have some gorgeous costumes. 姫さまように。 Maybe I can get a magazine with photos of you on tour. Make sure to wink in one just for me! 頑張るよ！
Miss you...miss your skin against my own and soft pink blush upon your cheeks.
See you after the tour XXXOOO,
Oreo
He finished his email then set down the phone so Katsu could pick it up. "It's nothing too kinky. If he answer you, maybe send me word?" he grinned as he spoke then glanced at the yogurt. "So you going to feed me too?"

With the yogurt in hand, Azriel grinned. "Well I did think about it but if you'd rather feed yourself, be my guest." he teased, setting the bottle of water on the table beside the bed. "You look better today, Oreo-kun. You've dark circles under your eyes but that's from not sleeping. I wish I knew what the serpent did to you... mmm... though he did say something interesting to me about a man named Napoleon. I'll have to look him up later... unless you know anything."
Of course one of Azriel's problems was that he couldn't read properly. He understood the text that Oreo had sent to Naoko, because yes he did pick it up and read it, but it took him longer than normal because Oreo used kanji that the poor bat didn't understand.
It frustrated him...
"Mmm... our tour stop in Tokyo will be the end of the tour. Why don't you attend with my pet? I'm sure he'd enjoy the company." Katsu spoke up as he opened the yogurt and took the spoon, getting a nice glob on it and holding it to Oreo's mouth teasingly.
Almost instantaneously though, Katsumi's phone buzzed.
Naoko had already replied.
Rather than taking a year to try and read it, the bat handed the phone back to Oreo.
'Youkatta!!! I was worried about you! Soto-san told me to get checked out by a doctor, which I did... but then I caught a terrible cold! I've been ordered to bed by my boss... -sigh- I was asleep until my phone buzzed. I'm rather popular today apparently.
Are you feeling any better? I wish I could bring you something to cheer you up with, Oreo-kun... or at least to make you feel better. I bet some ginger tea would help your stomach and though it may taste bitter, it might soothe the pain a little. Least, I assume your stomach is hurting from what Soto-san said.
Please take care of yourself, Oreo-kun. I... I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I just wish...
I just wish you were feeling better so I could say goodbye in person. I'll be gone for two whole months... and I've a feeling that Katsumi-san is going to drive me insane! We haven't even left yet and I'm already afraid he's going to trip on stage in his heels.
Send me a message whenever you want, Oreo-kun. I'll be glad to reply as soon as I can tear myself away from a keyboard. wink
-Naoko'
 
"I'm sure I will too." Ishihara replied, knowing that he had to figure out a way to replicate the gum.
Dealing with #2 didn't sit well with him...
Sipping his coffee, the shark sat back in the chair, comfortable for the most part... except his arm was throbbing. He wouldn't show the pain, just as he hadn't shown it in the depths... or really hadn't shown it when he'd ******** up that onsen mission.
"Then he freely toys with those who don't belong to him?" You asked with one raised eyebrow. "After all, I am not his to command. He knows this. Only the spider moves me. Benefited? One tampering was by my own asking. The second however was not. If he could fine tune me perfectly then I would allow it. But I will not become something I'm not. My humanity... my sanity... is what makes me a better reader of men. And you? Certainly he has toyed with you in the past. Though I'm not privy to the information nor would I expect you to divulge it... I merely ask if it was worth it. When everything is said and done... what you are... was it worth it?"

In The Pit
Your boss freely 'takes care' of others that don't belong to him as well. Don't be so naive.You act as if this should be impossible. You know well that when you deal with the Devil you should always watch how he plays the cards and confirm the deal. I wouldn't say that the Doctor and your Boss are always in tune even if they have some similar interests. He peered at the piece of donut as if it were some sort of knowledgeable entity. Then popped it in his mouth to chew. Shizuka really loved these sweet morsels but with Ishihara You sitting right before him, he act as if this place were any better than others. So as he enjoyed the flavor of the cake he typed out his next answer.
A very good question if one has a choice in the matter. But...for the man that finds himself placed on the road into darkness, it's never the path that one had originally intended to follow. Sometimes the hopes and dreams are completely different from the reality that is hidden behind closed doors. Your candle is burned for the sake of others and what little you grasp for yourself, you must hide away. Shizuka finished the first donut and then wiped his lips with a napkin. So whether or not it's worth it is purely irrelevant. You might be less affected than I but in the end, you'll use it to get the job done.
---------------------
"Mm...Ok...I'll take being fed for now. How can I pass up such a handsome man offering to feed me, ne?" He was thankful that Katsu was hear and telling him he looked better. Oreo hadn't noticed how he had looked before and certainly didn't want to look now. It would probably be a bit unsettling.
"I doubt #2 will tell you how he does that. Napoleon? You mean the French ruler. Mm...Ok.. well umm...Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815, the first monarch of France bearing the title emperor. And..well he tried to unify Europe and other nations under a United French Empire. I don't remember everything but he was at war often and toward the end he was removed from power then exiled to a small island named Saint Helena. I think he died of stomach cancer there. But he was a very powerful ruler in his time. Probably a good one to read about for strategy. Although a few of his strategies didn't work out that well."
He chuckled a little, "I plan on it if your Pet is willing to take me along! I want to see him in concert." Oreo opened his mouth and took in the bite with a smile on his lips. It sure was easier to deal with this when someone he enjoyed talking to was around.
But suddenly, there was a buzz and Azrel was handing him a phone! Oreo blinked, "Really!? Already! and again he took the phone. And again he was giddy. Naoko wrote back!!!
"Oh! He sounds so excited! I can almost hear him talking in my head when I read this! Haha! He's sick with a cold. Go figure! But obviously not my 'cold' that's for sure. Awh...he wants to know if I'm feeling better and wishes he could see me. Says I need to drink ginger tea. Ick...but I'd try it if it would help. Haha! Awh...he's been thinking a lot about me too." Then he paused and smirked a little, "Someone is driving him insane. Yeah, I'd be afraid of wearing heels on stage too. Awh...I wish I could write more often too him. But if I sent him another back now I bet that he would be shooting one back in mere minutes and you'd never get out of here.

Azriel blinked.
Heels?
Insane?
Then the bat began to giggle. Flat out giggle. "I can only imagine that Naoko-san said that a person named 'Katsumi' was driving him insane. Imagine that... him knowing a person named Katsumi and you knowing one named Katsu..." Azriel's dark eyes gleamed and his smile was unmistakable.
"No doubt the fact that I kissed Shou-san the other day, twice, brought this on. Naoko-san and I tend to butt heads I think... but..." he tapped his chin with one black nail, thinking hard. "Sometimes I just think he doesn't like me and is just tolerating my presence. To be honest I find him quite a fascinating person to watch. Not in a sensual way either, mind you."
Carefully Katsu plucked the phone away before putting a spoon of yogurt in Oreo's mouth.
Sick men needed to eat to regain their strength after all.
"As for Napoleon... well... I suppose I can understand what the serpent meant when you say some of his strategies didn't work out well. Some of mine don't either... Hmmm... would you say I've more of a velvet glove or an iron fist?"
Yes, Azriel was going to stay there and feed the entire thing of yogurt to Oreo before leaving. Sure he would be fantastically late for work... but work really couldn't start without him anyway.
"I think, when you see the tour, you'll be surprised by Shou-san opening act." the bat said with a wink
"Irrelevant? Surely there are things that you just simply will not do." Ishihara asked curiously, one eyebrow still raised.
He had a very short list of things he refused to do.
Bed Shou was on that list. Hell bed anyone who wasn't Haru was on that list.
You had tortured, kidnapped, threatened, and killed for most of his life. It was how he had survived and, in part, how he had become known as 'the shark'. His love of the animals was just a happy coincidence. But there were a few things even he wouldn't do.
Hurt the man he loved was at the top of that 'do not do' list.
"Yes sometimes these alterations come in handy, though my nose has yet to produce the same results as my eyes, but even one such as yourself must have a line you will not cross. Otherwise... I would have thought the cat or bat, whichever you prefer to compare him to, would have met with the Doctor's table once more by now. Him being such a resounding success and all." Ishihara gave a half smirk at that.
Katsu was both a success and a failure. Perhaps now, after the cyst had been removed, he was more of a success but...
"You've hidden away the culprits from the Doctor's eyes. Why? If it's for your own agenda than I hardly have any complain but... would it not infuriate your master in the end? If I kept such a thing from my boss... well... I'd be far more than out of a job."

In The Pit
Shizuka just looked at the shark for a moment. His head tilted slightly as his fingers slowly slid around the coffee cup. Things that the Shark wouldn't do. Now that was interesting. Then Shizuka's lips formed into a grin, How could I be the consummate assassin if I had any that I wouldn't do? What I wouldn't do, is reveal those weaknesses, if I had such. Or even flirt the notion with anyone. It brings on the curiosity of others.
Yes, Shizuka was curious now about what the Shark wouldn't do. Obviously he wouldn't just do anything with one certain star or he wouldn't be so desperate for something subdue the problem. So that meant his weakness was relationship based. And unfortunately that meant the Shark was probably vulnerable in regards to another person.
Of course Shizuka wasn't completely without weakness himself. But he hid it well. Once a secret was out, it was difficult to keep that weakness from spreading. Thus Shizuka was very...careful.
The culprits are not on the Doctor's agenda. Thus I am free to do as I feel with them. He does not take interest in every murder attempt within this city or every unfortunate victim that falls under my hand. Hiding them there was convenient and less problematic. Sharing the news with the Doctor was unnecessary. Your boss' issues are not necessarily the Doctor's. It is that simple.
---------------------
"So...it's someone I'll get to know later I imagine." he winked at Katsu and then chuckled. "Wait...you kissed Shou-san? Seriously? Naoko never mentioned being interested in his boss. But maybe he finds him attractive? Could be jealous? So...did he kiss well? Or was it just a little peck both times." Any gossip conversation that wasn't Pit news was fine by Oreo. He wouldn't be bothered if Naoko found someone else attractive. What could Oreo expect since he was stuck in the Pit. However, that might change soon provided he lived.
He ate several bites of yogurt then smirked, "Naoko is fairly sweet and gentle. I think he just wants to be loved and have someone who isn't going to screw him over like other relationships. He'd probably settle down to be a very happy balanced soul if in a stable relationship. I don't think he knows where to find that though. He doesn't like to be alone that much I can tell. Self esteem issues...the usual things. Probably happiest as a submissive but he does have strength to be his own man if he's got support."
"Umm...well, I think velvet glove probably. I mean, you lash out but an iron glove is a sustained control. So I suppose that you'd have to work on that area. It's like being a dom for an extended period over a broader area, I think." Oreo said thoughtfully as he suck down the yogurt bite before his lips. "I can't wait to see this concert! It will be the first one I've seen in ages. I'm sure I'll love the opening act."

"All men have at least one weakness. But perhaps I can respect your want to hide your own. I'll make no attempt to uncover it." Ishihara replied politely, actually meaning what he said.
This man infuriated him, but #2 was very good at his job and that too You respected. Even if he wanted to beat the man into a bloody pulp... or see that blemish-free skin contract under a taunt wire... those eyes widen with the knowledge that he would die... that glorious moment where life left his victim...
Sick twisted pleasures that would never come to pass... unless #2 ceased to be useful.
Pushing his glasses further up onto his nose, Ishihara sighed slightly, "Yes well while the issue is not the Doctor's... I find it odd that you didn't offer them up as experiment fodder. However, I can also understand why you've hidden them. The information I plan to drag out of them, or to let Katsu-san drag out, will aid even yourself to a degree. It's much easier for someone in our line of work to not have to look over their shoulders every moment." he glanced at his coffee, picking it up and sipping the war contents once more. "When I return from this latest assignment, I will question them. No doubt you can appreciate and understand my want to use that interrogation as bait to keep a rather troublesome young man in line as I guard him."
"It's someone that you might find quite attractive." Azriel spoke with a wink, thumbing through his smart phone for a few personal photos.
Turning the device around so Oreo could see, images of Katsumi in both pink and black, were displayed.
"I'm sure you recognize at least some of her features." he added, letting Oreo hold the phone while he spooned up another bite of yogurt for the man. "I wonder who makes the more beautiful woman, hmm? Naoko-san or..." his gaze flickered to the phone to indicate himself. "Perhaps the cuter woman?"
It was nice to sit and talk to Oreo for a while. Even if the man felt bad, these little moments to brighten the poor PIT pet's world would help him survive in the long run.
One month... he only had to hang in there for one month.
"Hmmm... he kissed very well. Tasted delicious. I think Naoko-san was a bit jealous... and then I got yelled at by Shou-san's assistant and Ishihara-san... Well, I got yelled at the second time. The first time was a free pass because I was acting out a scene with the peacock." but then Katsu smiled warmly. "You really do like the pianist, ne? Well... to be honest... Naoko-san is in part why I'm getting you out of here." the bat added with a wink. "Shou-san's important. He needs Naoko-san to be stable for him and his work. You, my friend, can help make and keep him stable. So aside from managing my books, you've got that little side project. A happy Naoko-san is a happy Shou-san... and a happy, and profitable, Shou-san is a happy spider... and a happy spider is a very happy Katsu." the young man giggled at the line of thought. "And finally, a happy Katsu is a happy Oreo-kun." then he tapped his chin. "Well actually, a happy Katsu is a happy Oreo-kun and a happy Kaito-kun, and a happy pet so...." he shrugged, getting another spoon of yogurt ready.
"I lash out when I'm angry or when it is deserved. Sometimes when I'm in pain. But to be honest, getting along with those around me is more important on a daily basis." Azriel continued, thinking over the other man's words. I enjoy being cruel... to those who deserve it." he added with another wink.

And maybe the Serpent was thinking the same thing about Ishihara. How his body one part at a time would stop moving even though perfectly well. How he'd crumple under each finger tip as it walked over the man. Yes, those widening eyes would just stare knowing it was...all over. However, the Serpent might be a little disappointed if that moment came too quickly. The Shark had his uses as the bat had said before. Yes, for now he did.
I could have but chose not to. He had his own reasons. Maybe he personally felt that Katsu needed a go at the one that lived. The one that was dead just lay in cold storage. The Doctor has plenty of cannon fodder to play with when he wants. You should just appreciate that I didn't feel the need to add to his collection.
Ah so you expect me to keep the one that can answer those questions in storage for at least 2 more months? The Serpent cocked an eyebrow because this seemed rather long term in his opinion. He sipped the coffee then set it down and picked up the second donut. This one was a glazed crispy donut that probably also had a cake center. The top of it had a few vanilla sprinkles across the glaze.
There are certainly other methods keep the young man in line. Do you really think waiting two months is good for business? Or is it just benefiting your own needs? Will your boss wish to wait that long?
---------------------
"Whoa....those are Kawaii! Seriously though, Naoko is right about the heels. She should try some Mary Jane style or Platforms. She'll hurt herrself. Or someone else if her cute butt flies off that stage." he chuckled and then licked his lips. "I'd tap that though. Be fun...." he added mischievously.
"I think that you do. I mean Naoko likes to look feminine but I don't think he's really into going all the way to being a girl in complete appearance. He's really not that bold. Which is not a bad thing because I like his hints of femininity." The dom smirked as he continued eating the yogurt. For once he didn't feel like throwing everything back up. Was it what #2 had done or the less stress he felt right now.
"So he kissed well...and tastes good. That's a plus. Why did you get yelled at? Seriously? Well I guess it depends where you did it and why but still." Ok so maybe once Oreo was out in the public again he'd re-grasp the culture as it was. Down here anything could happen. Up there, there was a certain way of being respectful to others. He knew it, but yeah....he'd have to re-acclimate himself.
"Ah...so if Naoko's happy with me it comes full circle in regards to happiness. I get it. Well, hopefully, he'll take a chance and go on a few dates with me once my life is securely up there. I'm really looking forward to it." Oreo was thoughtful for a moment about that feeling of being free. He just had to survive this...mess.
His lips sucked in the next bite as he listened then after swallowing he answered, " Yeah well...an Iron Fist is about being able to handle the long term and not wear down. It's not necessarily a quick hand that lashes out. I think that the Iron Fist is more about leadership. But that type of control only comes with experience. You'll get there one day. Just be open to learning new things and in the mean time, take on good mentors that can help you grow."

"Believe me, she fixed the shoe problem shortly after falling on her face in a crowded room and getting chocolate mousse all over her apron. BUT as to kissing Shou-san... well I did it in the middle of a cafeteria so... probably NOT the best place... but he looked depressed so I figured it might cheer him up. Not sure how well it worked. Apparently I'm not allowed to just walk around and kiss people. Go figure." he added with a laugh, remembering the expressions on Yamada and Ishihara's faces.
Priceless.
"Hmmm..." for a moment, Azriel stirred the yogurt up to make it a bit creamier then spooned out another bite for the man. "I did the girl thing because I was told I need a family friend style. I actually hate it to be honest. Course I hate the color pink so..." he shrugged absently. "But it should make money and let me branch out musically so I don't mind it all that much. I enjoy experiencing and learning new things... though a good mentor..." the bat giggled. "I hope you mean 'good' as in 'skilled' and not 'good' as in a man of 'good morals'... because while I have the former, the latter is a bit impossible for me to find right now."
Well no Hiroki had good morals... but he wasn't exactly the sort of mentor that Katsumi thought he needed.
Ah how wrong he really was.
"Perhaps you have a point there." the shark replied, one finger tapping the side of his coffee cup idly. "I will see what my boss's wish is and when I can find a break in the bat's schedule. I fear it will be an all day affair at the least. The less you have to keep them hidden, the better. They have already been there longer than I intended." but then Ishihara smirked slightly and looked directly at #2. "Tell me... how would you keep the young man in line, hmm? I have tried many different tactics thus far. He is more trouble outside than he was within some days it seems."

The Serpent just smiled as his legs shifted under the table. You're too prim and proper to use any of the methods that I'd recommend. He took a bite of his donut and enjoyed the sweet flavor humored by the thought. If the man wouldn't jump Shou then he certainly didn't have the skills to seduce the bat. Nor the charm to pursue him. Most of the time, cat's preferred cream to scoldings. Katsu liked to indulge in the cream every so often.
He set the donut down and licked his finger tips as he watched the Shark. Yeah this man couldn't maneuver into that playing field. But when you know what your boss wishes you can have Soto call me up from below. I'd prefer to get these off my hands before they spoil. He was keeping the one alive and fed and clean but of course he wasn't around all the time for various reasons.
---------------------
"Hahah! I can imagine. No more tripping in a cute dress." he winked, "And showing off all the goods to the rest of the world. I would have licked the Chocolate Mousse right off of you. Man...it's been so long since I've eaten that kind of pie. Although, there is a chocolate mousse pudding at the bottom of the fridge that Ono-san brought in, I've been so desperate to try but didn't want to barf."
As they continued to converse, he wondered what could possibly depress a star like that, "Depressed? That's too bad. I don't know if I ever could be depressed if I were in a job like that." he sighed wistfully and sucked in the yogurt again. "However, the girl idea for family friendly is pretty cool. Ah...you'll get used to it once you start fooling around with the look and the songs. I bet you'll find it fun to fool everyone around you. You can always change the color to purple one day." It was then that Oreo realized that he actually was going to eat the whole container of yogurt today! He wasn't feeling like puking at the moment. It was a glorious feeling indeed!
"Well...mm...skilled is ok. But having one with good morals around is also a good thing. I mean you learn how to understand other's values. You don't necessarily have to live by those things but understanding them and respecting them make it easily to fit into the world outside." said Oreo as he burped. But it was JUST A BURP not a full blown incident. YAY!

Ishihara half rolled his eyes. "Bedding him does nothing but inflate his ego and his want for more trouble. Even if it's used as a reward, he'll just find someone else to screw so that he doesn't have to work for it."
To the shark, that was how Azriel operated. He had it in mind to use Kaito being 'taken away' as a punishment for any future offenses, but on tour he couldn't exactly do that! Since Kaito didn't mind the idea of a little vacation though, You knew it would drive Katsu insane not to have someone around the house.
Though... with the bat's acquisition of Oreo apparently... Ishihara might be forced to send two men on vacation instead of the original one.
Isolation drove Azriel crazy. It wasn't because the man was lonely... he could occupy himself and Ishihara knew it. A part of the shark wondered if the bat were actually afraid to be alone on some level.
Then again, he could just have Nishikawa and Takatori remain with him... which would again defeat the purpose of isolation... though those two were still on SMASH's payroll so they could be ordered to not speak to the bat or aid him unless his life were in danger.
Having lost himself in thought for a moment, You focused back in on #2. "Yes if they spoil then there go any answers we may obtain. Once I'm finished with them, you may give them to your boss. I would just like to make sure they don't survive their experiment... if the bat leaves the one alive that is."
Glancing at the fridge, Azriel shrugged. "Would you like to try? Obviously whatever the serpent did has made your stomach a bit more friendly." he would gladly go get the pudding if Oreo wanted it. After all, it was the least he could do for making the man remain here for a month.
A month of hell.
"Oh well even if we have such wonderful jobs, we still get depressed. Between you and me I think he confessed love to someone and got rejected. While I don't quite understand that feeling... I'm sure it's a normal reaction in every day society to be sad about that." the young man tapped his chin as he thought on the idea. "Mmm but I think I will try purple eventually. I needed white and black for the tour theme and pink went well with both... actually wardrobe came up with it. Should've told them I hated pink ahead of time." he smiled, amused at how he had at first thrown a mini-diva fit.
But eventually the bat had gotten into the dress and while it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world... it would work.
And it DID make him look adorably cute.
Katsumi blinked suddenly then laughed after Oreo burped. "Not sure if that's your stomach saying 'stop eating I'm full' or if it's just enjoying the respite."
But he didn't say anything about a mentor's morals or values... that was something he knew he'd need to figure out.
Izo was a mentor... but he needed to follow someone who wasn't quite so devious as well... just to learn both sides of the coin.

It was Shizuka's turn to roll his eyes. Just bedding him? Really. If you think that alone is what I meant, you really are naive. I truly doubt that inflates his ego all that much considering his previous line of work. Well, obviously for the poor Shark if something required anything beyond a casual relationship it couldn't be done. Was the man really that hopeless? Assassins had to be versatile. Intimacy wasn't only bedding and physical contact but the Shark must have thought it that way.
He could tell that #1 was trying to work out some logic behind those glasses but whatever it was certainly had nothing to do with Shizuka's approach. As he watched the Shark having his mental thought process, he sucked down the other delicious part of his donut. For such a manly guy, it might have seemed odd to see Shizuka enjoying such a sweet treat. But occasionally one had to press outside the box and indulge. He considered getting a baker's dozen....and dropping them off with poor Oreo. Maybe Katsu was still there?
Shizuka sighed slightly and got up from the table quickly putting his empty cup and plate in the nearby dispenser. He tilted his head and walked back over to You gazing down at him in the chair. Certainly the other assassin just assumed he followed orders. I will be gracious and keep them from spoiling. Send word when you wish to visit them.
With a quick movement, his hand landed on You's shoulder and squeezed. Certain fingers pressed and suddenly You's shoulder felt release from the limpness. But to the crowd around it was just a warm grasp at the shoulder that could have been mistaken as a sign of friendship. See ya around. The Serpent mouthed and walked back up to the counter to pick out a variety of donuts. After getting them all bunched in a box and paid for with a set of 4 coffees to go, the Serpent left.
He returned to Prospero's with a casual gait and took the elevator down. The Doctor would appreciate the coffee and donuts. The man didn't get out much. However, if Katsu was there, he'd leave two cups and donuts with him.
---------------------
"Yes, lets try the other pudding!" Oreo was rather excited about this. It was the most he had eaten all together in awhile!
"Rejection is tough. And...in a high profile job like his, he must be alone even when he's surrounded by a lot of people. I do know what he's feeling when it comes to rejection. I've been rejected. It takes awhile to pick yourself up afterwards especially when you really cared about the person." Oreo glanced up at the ceiling reminded of the past but then he peered over at Katsu again, "Purple is a fine color. And I think it could look good on you. But pink has it's place. I think Naoko would look good in pink. His blush is very pink."
His lips formed a smirk as Katsu laughed, "I think it's pleased to finish something and not come back. My throat is very happy about this. So when you're away on tour. You're going to keep on watching me? At least until I can be moved to your Pet's home? Mm...and what is your Pet like? Anything I need to be aware of before I meet him?"

Standing from the bed, Katsumi made his way to the small fridge once more, taking out the chocolate mousse pudding and a new plastic spoon. He didn't want the pudding tasting of yogurt after all. When he returned to Oreo's side though, the bat peered at the older man quizzically for a long moment.
In truth, the vocalist was pondering the concept of caring...
But then he mentally shook the thoughts away.
"Yes. I will watch you when I can. Demo... my pet... hmm... he's nice." Katsu sat down, pulling the lid off the pudding. "He's quiet sometimes... but right now he's stuck in bed recovering from an injury."
No, the bat wouldn't say his pet had been shot.
Not in this place.
Not when it could be discovered who he was.
Walls had ears...
"I remember bits and pieces of him really... I..." the young man smiled softly. "I had to go under the Doctor's knife again and when I came back up... I didn't remember him too much. We're working through that lack of memories right now... but he wouldn't hurt you. I remember once though... someone attacked Kaito-kun in my home. Some sort of assassin or something. Anyway, my pet saved Kaito-kun's life. He wasn't told to or trained to... it was instinct. So he's a very good person really. But he may be busy when you get there, though I've no doubt he'll spend a little time with you if you ask. He's a businessman so you two will get along splendidly."
Carefully Azriel lifted a spoon of pudding up to Oreo's lips. "As for pink..." again the bat fiddled with his phone and brought up a picture of Naoko in the press from the Charity Benefit dinner.
A blond man done up like a beautiful princess.
Turning the phone to Oreo, Katsu smirked. "Maybe he'll dress like this for you once in a while, ne?" he teased.
"It inflates it more than you think... especially if he beds someone he thought was unattainable before." Ishihara replied, knowing Katsu had a bit of a thing for sleeping with powerful men.
Besides, in bed was the best place for that little flying rodent to try and read him...
And You couldn't have that.
Reaching for his coffee, Ishihara suddenly went still as he felt the snake moving. The hand on his shoulder almost brought a gun to bear from the shark... but then there was a sudden rush... then just pain.
In fact, it burned so badly that You wasn't sure he could keep a straight face for very long.
Course... at least now he could use his arm.
Dark eyes watched the serpent leave, then Ishihara looked at the gum packet before pocketing it once more. He would chew them because he had no other choice in the end...
And they both knew it.
Standing, You threw his coffee cup away and then headed back for his car in the garage. He could by pass the acupuncturist now at least... even if his arm hurt like a b***h and didn't quite move exactly as he wanted.
Probably a side effect of the muscle paralysis.

In The Pit
"PUDDING!!" Oreo smirked gleefully like a little kid for a moment then said, "I had to say that." Having been stuck on level 7 in a bed really didn't make him feel very manly. He felt rather like a child and uncomfortable with a sincere lack of whatever control he had thought he had on level 2. So a few jokes here and there just filled in the time, covering up his real desperation to get out of here as fast as possible. God he didn't want Katsu to leave him again but he knew that it would happen soon enough.
"Nice? Mm...Nice is good. Oh great, I hope we both aren't stuck in bed like two sick men the whole time we're around each other." he smiled as he said that because Oreo intended to be much more mobile by then if he had any say in the matter.
"But really....sounds like he's a decent guy. And...mm...I think that you're lucky to have someone like that. Especially after this place." he took his first bite of the pudding and closed his eyes as he sucked in the first taste. "Umai....."
"Sounds like he and I will get along fine. I'm sure we will have stuff we can talk about." But then, Katsu showed Oreo the photo and his jaw dropped with chocolate still on his tongue. "Wow....."
For a moment he couldn't say a word but he took the smartphone and zoomed in on the photo and grinned, "He looks...really gorgeous. Ok I take that back, he can look just as good as a woman. I want to see him in this."
Then he glanced up at Katsu and eyed the young man, "Maybe you should try a kimono like this." He licked his lips and handed the phone back to Katsu. "Ok...I must get him to wear this one so I can...mmm...yeah...I must get him to wear it."
---------------------
Shizuka didn't agree because he had seen those calculating eyes, that desire to bed powerful men didn't come from an inflated ego but a need for security. One day, when the bat was strong, that need would change. The Shark had read it totally wrong. Katsu was learning slowly what it took to play in the adult pool now. Of course, Shizuka didn't cast aside the fact that Katsu was a sensual creature with extreme kinks.
Yeah....so the pain the Shark felt was the pain he deserved in Shizuka's opinion. The Shark was lucky that he hadn't left the arm that way. And Shizuka was rather annoyed that the Shark was taking so dang long to pick up the men that had been put on 'ice'.
But there was no use getting too aggravated. Since it wasn't like Shizuka would be running over to Smash to ask Izo to take them off his hands. As he descended into the Pit, he slipped into the darkness and disappeared. Eventually reappearing on the 7th floor.
He wandered down the hall and poked his nose into the room with Katsu and Oreo then pointed at the camera so Ono could see before tapping the top of the coffee cup and pointed at the camera. As if you say, come in here and pick up a cup of coffee.
Most people seemed to be treating Ono fairly badly lately but the Serpent didn't feel such annoyance with the thin doctor.

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 limelight upon him. That's what Shou wanted and needed today. To feel desired beyond other men. He was sick of being used and unappreciated people around around him. It certainly wasn't going to happen again! He wanted to feel invulnerable again. Like a suit of armor in in his stardom.
Softbank had turned into the sudden backdrop of that limelight because even as Shou picked out his new phone the place was getting an increasing amount of visitors and people watching in the high glass windows along the street. His guards had become jumpy while Ko played on his ipad in a near by seat.
While Shou was finishing his purchase he was greeted by an older graying man he had met upon a previous tour. He was the owner of a concert hall.
"Shouさん、お久しぶり、元気ですか。I heard you've a tour coming up but it's a bit to large for my hall. Was kind of sad that you'll not be coming through." The man held out his hand and Shou clasped it warmly.
"Ah! Morioさん、お久しぶり、元気です。でも、つかれた。It is unfortunate that my tour is a bit large for your hall. I really do love the acoustics there. Maybe a smaller show in the future? Smash booked most of these arenas since H...Yamada-san has been so busy with me." His sigh was a bit
"Poor man. You overwork him too much." Morio chuckled then leaned in closer, "My hall is doing well though, tonight we've got Nakaiさん playing."
"So why are you here? You should be at work, ne?" Shou's eyebrow raised as leaned in further to talk without everyone hearing.
"Well I'm here because my daughter broke my phone. She dropped it in the toilet. And getting the phone is going slow because you're here." The older man patted Shou on the back understanding what it was like to deal with stars every night. "But It's good we meet. You interested in taking a bit of time off tonight and seeing the show? "
Shou paused, "Really? Mm...I'm shooting a PV today once get to Smash...however, It sounds like fun."
"Well why don't you come. Here. These tickets are my own box seats. Semi private and you can see the stage really well from there." He pulled out his wallet and slid folded tickets into Shou's hand. "7 pm opening 8 pm start. Expect a full house but we'll get you to your seat. Use the far right entry gate and I'll have a guide ready to take you upstairs."
Shou took the tickets and thanked the older man, then by the time Shou was finished the crowds were waiting outside along with a few cameras from local stations. Shou took Ko by the hand and headed towards the limo that was pulled out front waiting. A few cosplaying Bees were screaming his name. While Softbank had a small rush of customers all wanting the same type of phone that Shou had just purchased.
He smiled at the crowd and said "こにちは皆さん！” as the crowd tried to press in. His few bodyguards were diligent as he and Ko were funneled into the awaiting limo. Soon they were off. Although it would take awhile for his men to get caught up.
Inside the limo, Haru was waiting. "Shou様、 しているか！ばか！Any one at Smash could have picked you up a 新し形態! You really do try my patience some days. Ah...Ko-kun. I didn't see you under Shou's coat. I apologize for being so...Mm...loud. And..well, mm...Your instructor called me this morning and told me he's sick today, so you get a free day.
"YAY!" Ko squealed in delight as Shou rolled his eyes then gazed out the window, Sick? Right... "I'll do my work and then I'm going to a concert tonight. I'm taking an evening off. Yes, it does put a kink in the schedule but...I...."
Haru cut him off, "いいね。大丈夫です。 ライブを見に行きます。If we get most of the PV main shots today, the rest we can finish up tomorrow. Then I'd like you to take the weekend off. We will reschedule the other PV for Monday."
Shou looked at him skeptically because Shou really hated days off prior to the tour even though he was to take the evening off, however, considering his past few days. Maybe a quiet weekend would do him good. "Alright. Just don't let me find out that I'm the only one taking time off."
"No...everyone will get at least one rest day." Haru answered as he glanced up to see Smash's tower in the not too far distance.

(((OOC: Is it sad that I didn't need to use google translate or look kanji up for any of that except the last sentence? Only thing I had to look up was 大丈夫 hahaha!
I'm working on my posts. Was horribly sick to my stomach yesterday. Better today though...
Oh and one of our trees tried to kill the car yesterday... so today I got to run around in the rain moving cars to the back of the house cause the wind picked up. Fun...
Shark Week's over too... boo... so I'll log into Skype after I post. Right now though I'm baking, hehe.
I would have sent you a text about my icky stomach and not posting (because also yesterday HughesNet was being weird and shorting out off and on thus why I avoided skype) but I couldn't find the phone... that's what happens when you ask someone to plug it in that isn't yourself, haha! Found it now though.)))
