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..
"I guess that is all that is important. Ishi-san must be so much happier now." he sighed softly and was content even if he knew certain aspects of their relationship were forever set aside. It was ok at least Michi knew he'd be alright with that.
Inside his slightly aching head, he still wasn't sure that Yuuji, or anyone in Akihiko's family 'wasn't all that bad.' He only knew that when he was along with Akihiko, he got to see the side of the man that he felt close to. "How can you say that...if he..murdered your...family? I don't know how...I'll look at him without..thinking something after what you've told me. I...I never thought Narcissus was because of...your family but...your work. I believed you were Narcissus because if you weren't the fans would eat you alive." Innocent enough mistake considering the life of a 'normal' star. But the world Akihiko lived in was anything but normal.
The soft words seemed to have that lulling affect on Michi after some time because he drifted as Akihiko spoke. And it took him a bit to focus even as his fingers curled at Akihiko's waist...it wasn't long before the loosened again. Michi nodded and his eyes closed when that kiss was placed on his forehead. Fears slowly subsiding and a calm washed over him because while he was with 'Akihiko' he was safe, "Your changes have brought me much joy...it's so good to see you in love with Ishi-san for real..and Happy for a change." he murmured quietly. "I'm glad I get to see and be with the real you. You deserve something of a normal life...you really do."
Soon Michi drifted off in Akihiko's arms. There must have still been a deep trust for Akihiko even if the world around the horse had shifted so much in just a few hours. It had been awhile since Michi had some one hold him close....the last time was Hawaii and he was still working through the things he saw there. So he took comfort in that as he napped in lighter dreams for a brief period of time during their trip towards Rodeo Drive.

As Michi slept in Akihiko's arms, the musician softly began to sing...
I saw a nostalgic dream
At that time we became close
Everyone understood the overflowing loneliness
By the time we realized that something was precious, it was too late
The feelings that pass us by are always too dazzling
If I ever hurt you until you want to cry
At that time, I'll sing for you until your tears dry up
*If it's the dream that you chased
Don't be afraid of getting hurt
On nights when you tremble
I'll hold you close,
And so
Stop with that sad looking face
Let me see your smile
It's more wonderful and more precious to me than anything else, that smile
I can still remember it now
There's no forever right here
I kept gazing at the people who vanished, with sad eyes
There's no one who'd ride a car without brakes
That's what was whispered
You looked down and tried to be strong; I just drew you close and embraced you tightly
If it's a dream that you want to grant
Don't hang your head and cry
On sleepless nights, I'll be there for you
Until you can see dreams
Don't be so embarrassed
Let me see your smile
It's more wonderful and more precious to me than anything else, that smile
We told each other about countless dreams at that time
We can't go back, anymore, but still
~ ~ ~
懐かしい夢を見た
あの頃は寄り添うように
溢れる孤独をみんなで分かち合って
大切なものが何かと
気づいたときには遅すぎて
過ぎ去った思い出はいつも眩しすぎて
もしも君が泣きたいくらい傷ついたら
そんな時には涙が枯れるまで歌ってあげる
君が追いかけた夢なら
傷つくことにおそれないで
ふるえる夜には君を抱きしめてあげよう
だから
悲しそうな顔はやめて
君の笑顔を見せておくれ
だれより素敵な僕の大切なその笑顔を
今でも覚えてるよ
永遠はここにはないと
消えていく者を悲しい目で見つめ続けた
ブレーキもない車に乗るやつはいない
そう呟いて
うつむいて強がる君を ただ引き寄せ強く抱きしめた
君が叶えたい夢なら
うつむいて泣いたりしないで
眠れぬ夜には夢が見れるまでそばにいてあげる
そんなに恥ずかしがらないで
君の笑顔を見せておくれ
だれより素敵な僕の大切なその笑顔を
数え切れない夢を語り合ったあの頃には
もう、戻ることはないけれど

The barrier which separated the front seat from the back opened, and even though Yuuji didn't look behind him, he spoke carefully. "Are you finished traumatizing him?"
"Urusai." Akihiko retorted, not raising his voice so as to let Michi sleep. "He had a right to know why I did what I did."
Takagi nodded, "True... but you shouldn't go telling your life's story to just anyone, Akihiko. Some things are better left hidden. He won't look at me the same ever again thanks to you."
"He needed to be warned." the man replied, blue gaze on the sleeping form in his arms. "He's too naive and light hearted to react properly if something does happen."
"Like you've ever reacted properly yourself?" Yuuji asked, glancing back for a moment. "Lucky-san wouldn't like seeing you two like that, you know."
Blue eyes flashed dangerously, "Izzy would understand. Just be glad I haven't told HIM the truth about you... I doubt MeKa would be happy with that."
"Aligning yourself with the enemy now?"
The subtle threat in those words sent a sliver of fear into the young Koyasu's heart. "Aligning myself with those who won't betray me sounds a helluva lot better than aligning with any enemy."
"Betray you?" turning in his seat, Yuuji's dark eyes focused on his cousin. "When have... well no, I suppose you're right. Just make sure you don't create alliances out of emotion. Those are the easiest to break."
A slight laugh came from the young man. "I align with who I deem worthy. Michi... Izzy... MeKa..." his cold gaze flashed with a hint of humor. "And Asato."
"Oh... so you don't hate him any more?"
But to that... Akihiko didn't reply.

What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:-  Asato Hiroki
Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions
Doing what one does best...??
When Hiroki woke with their flight getting close to Japan, he asked the stewardess for whatever meal he had missed. To be honest he was starving and his dreamed made it difficult to find consolation in more sleep.
So he sat quietly and ate not saying much to his boss because there were times it was best to leave the old man alone to do his own thing. Beside if he thought about the man's short future it would only bring Hiroki sorrow.
That presented a problem for the man who worked 24/7. What to fill his mind with...Nezumi. Oh god there was another subject that made him want to kick himself several ways till Sunday. He really messed up with Nez. Step right on the small mouse with his oversized elephant feet. No thanks to the old tiger sitting beside him that was for sure.
He wanted to make it up to Nezumi somehow. Because Hiroki felt like the biggest heel in the universe. However, obviously his skills with the fairer sex...well ok Nezumi wasn't a woman but he had qualities that...Hiroki thought were...fairer. He smiled for a second thinking about Nez in an apron. It was an easy fit. Oh...and the man's cooking was...mm....yes Hiroki could have been quite happy and a sad smiled hedged at the corner of his lips But happiness...it was hard to achieve given things as they were.
So, he thought about Christmas, now that his plans were spoiled with the object of his affection. He doubted Nezumi would go walking to see the Xmas lights now. And surely he didn't want to make the man more ill at ease with him. That meant he'd just head home once he got back to Tokyo. No, not the home he lived but his family's home. This year like many years previously, Hiroki would indulged his disabled sister with stories of Ohayou and the latest posters, concert goodies and signed paraphernalia he gathered from her favorite bands and vocalists.
"Sir, I hope you don't mind if I take a couple days to myself over the holidays while Ohayou is shut down." he mentioned as he pulled out his laptop.
No Sir!
...Where you Lead - that is the Path I Follow.

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..
The tender song drifted in through his nap and Michi relaxed further with the tune. A light smile returned to his lips as his dreams deepened into healthier visions.
He didn't hear their words, his sleep actually good...perfect for a change without nightmares of falling chandeliers. Yuuji still was in those dreams saving his life. Something he also couldn't ignore even after Akihiko filled his mind with other truths.
Michi snuggled against Akihiko and sighed in his sleep as they continued to speak. Occasionally a word or two might cause him to move but the song had sufficiently took all notions of the waking world away.
Akihiko was right, he was naive and there wasn't any history of Michi's for the man to fear. A normal life with a demanding mother who's husband cheated on her thus the issues between them.
-------
But as they drove on, the other man in the car, Crystal's personal driver was taking notes. Even to this man, it seemed odd that these two were spilling information as such knowing he'd speak with his boss over it. They knew...or at least Koyasu-san knew that he spoke...Japanese. However, the driver...would be discreet for now while they were in the car.
Soon, he pulled up along Rodeo Drive and had to speak to the two men. "Would you like me to let you out closer to the men's clothing shops? Or do you want to walk the whole strip?"
Taking a lucky moment, the driver pulled into a spot on the edge of the street that had already people walking and shopping. The driver was smart enough not to go to a side street. He really didn't want these two to have a few moments...alone with him.

The driver would be a silent plea of aid, Akihiko knew. The conversation between himself and Yuuji would reach Crystal's ears... she would know there was trouble brewing in Ohayou.
Far more than Akihiko would come out and say directly.
Yuuji, for his part, was already out of the car, door closed.
"Here would be fine, I don't mind walking." Narcissus spoke up, "Thanks for driving us. We'll need your services again when Izzy calls. I hope our conversation didn't alarm you." he added with a smile. Then carefully shaking Michi, just slightly, enough to wake him up he spoke softly. "Come on, we're here. I'd like to hit the Armani store if that's alright with you." he said, blue eyes focused on the sleeping Michi.

"Very well, sir. Enjoy your shopping. I will take the car to the parking lot and have my lunch." he answered then handed Akihiko a card. "This is my number when you need the car."
The driver remained very professional even when Akihiko's words leaned towards that 'conversation'. He didn't give a response just glanced back at Michi, who was moving a bit more since the car had stopped.
-----
Michi's eyes flicked open when he was shaken and looked up into those blue ones above him. "We're here? Oh..." Getting up quickly he blinked a few times and pushed his fingers through his hair. "I hope I don't look like a mess." he said as he glanced forward to the driver's mirror and tried to make the best of things.
"Arami? Really? Ok! It's going to be like walking around Ginza isn't it? I shouldn't look at the price tags at all." he grinned and the smile seemed genuine. That cheerfulness returned a little at a time and he slipped out of the car, waving back at the driver. Clueless about the previous conversations. "This should be so much fun."
He glanced over at Yuuji and tried so hard not to think of...other things. "So do you have any place you want to shop?? God I don't even know the stores here. My mother always says best not get to familiar with brands you can't afford to buy." He laughed a little and looked around seeing people carrying expensive bags and even a few movie stars wandering as if this were so common here.
"Wow. Oh no! I've no camera. Man....not even a phone camera." he complained as he looked at all the Christmas cheer around them. Such a grand and exciting place.

Akihiko pocketed the card then easily got out of the car, looking around. "Sugoi... not as busy as I thought it'd be though." he commented, blue eyes flickering to the stores and recognizing a few brand names.
But then he smiled, seemingly completely back to normal, at least as far as normal went when he was around Michi. "This'll be your first expensive shopping trip, won't it?" he asked, putting an arm around Tanaka's shoulders. "Get used to it, Michi-kun. I promised to turn you into a star after all." he added with a wink, leading the way and letting Yuuji blend into the background.
As long as he could keep the physical therapist's attention on himself and not on Takagi, they had a good chance of minimizing the trauma that the new vocalist had just suddenly been exposed to. Yuuji wouldn't comment right away, that Akihiko knew.
His cousin could usually read people like a book... and he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the fragility of the situation.
Hopefully...
Akihiko quickly pulled Michi into a two story Armani store, just for men. At first they were looked upon by the staff as tourists... at least until the manager passed by and realized who the young Koyasu was.
"Might I help you gentlemen?" he asked, hands clasped in front of him.
At this, Akihiko looked to Yuuji, who promptly stepped up to the plate. "Right now we're just browsing." he spoke in clean English.
"Of course." the manager spoke with a smile. "This is Narcissus, is it not? I had heard he was in town but..."
Yuuji nodded, conversing with the manager while Akihiko pulled Michi over to a rack of shirts. They were designed into the little alcoves, lights over each small rack on the walls with a white backdrop to help accent the merchandise and allow it to be viewed purely. Narcissus went through a few of them, then pulled out one shirt and held it in front of Michi.
The thing was pretty much see-through.
"I wouldn't mind seeing you in this with..." he grabbed a pair of leather pants. "These to complete the look." Akihiko couldn't help but laugh, then spotted something that made him smile. "I like this jacket... for me that is..." he slung the Asian-inspired jacket over one arm, intent on purchasing it.
Moving to the next rack, Narcissus soon cobbled together an interesting ensemble and handed it to Michi. "Try this on. I think it'd be a good style for you... different from what Nikki would do, but I think it might compliment the idea of normal that I think you'll want to project when you start out. Definitely not visual kei for you, Michi-kun." the musician replied, continuing to look at the clothes.

"Yeah my first time even going on a street like this. I've avoided Ginza unless I was taking a run on the roads by the Emperor's estate." His eyes were wide and he laughed as Akihiko told him he'd make him a star and to get used to these things. "Even if I get big, I've a feeling I'll have a hard time shopping like this."
"Whoa...see through?!" he took the shirt and stared at how thin it was even if it was kind of cool his nipples and everything would show right through this! "Ok...I'll try it on for you but I can't promise I'll look great in this."
Then he took the leather pants. If he got these it would be the first pair he ever owned. "This is really soft leather too. Mm...I definitely like these."
His eyes were totally distracted by Akihiko's whirl wind shopping extravaganza and he took the clothes that Akihiko piled on with a smile and then chuckled. "Good, I don't think I want to try to compete with Shou-san. Normal? Is that my style?" He smirked because he was pretty much Normal comparatively. "You know you're going to make Nikki sad if you say he wouldn't come up with this."
He walked off towards the dressing room but was very unsure of the clothes except for the pants. However, in the spirit of shopping, he tried the pants and see through top on first together just because he had a feeling Akihiko would like it. Stepping out in the first outfit, he presented himself in a playful pose. "You like?" he asked with a smirk on his lips as he turned around to let Akihiko see everything.

Standing there, one hand around his own waist, Akihiko cocked his head at the outfit as Michi appeared. "It's... different. It's not you but..." then he shook his head. "No. Definitely not you. Ruki on the other hand..."
He seriously pondered buying the outfit for his lover.
"The pants look good though... I think your image as a musician should be very clean cut. Sexy and playful, but not a bad boy. The leather pants say sexy, but the shirt says bad boy... hmmm... try the other outfit. We really don't have a big name doing that sort of image right now, so it might be refreshing. Plus I really can't imagine you singing dark songs like I do... so your whole image should be light. Bright and happy." the young Koyasu spoke, finding he liked this media image he was creating for Michi in his head.
After all, soon Hiroki would be in charge and it would literally be Akihiko's job to make sure those he was bringing into the fold, like Ruki and Michi, both had someone experiences to help them craft their musical persona.
Even if Asato didn't assign him to it... he'd still be doing this himself.
Sure, he had his own career to worry about... but then again he didn't exactly worry if his album would sell.
He knew it would.
"Yuuji! Have the manager pick out some things similar to this, will you?" Akihiko called over his shoulder, to which Takagi promptly got to work on.

"Ha...so the bad boy image is out. Ok. I can live with that." he mused a the thought as he turned around and walked back into the dressing room. Stripping down he pulled on the next outfit and looked at himself in the mirror. This one was much closer to something he might think of picking out for himself.
When he slipped out of the dressing room this time he turned slowly and walked closer to Akihiko. "Nice fit...the jeans are comfortable too." It would have been easy for Michi to wear this outfit because it was very relaxed.
"Nah...I don't think I've had enough drama in my life to sing dark songs." he chuckled as glanced at a few other things. But seriously, in a store like this, he wasn't sure what to try on. Most of the stuff cost more than he'd make in a week as a therapist.
Michi's own tastes gravitated towards the denim and the less flash clothes but still rather tasteful in his choices. He wasn't a complete idiot to fashion but his shopping experiences were more along the lines of Nakano's bargain racks or Harajuku's back streets than Ginza or Shinjuku. He knew Akihiko probably had been in those areas often enough to find the premium clothing.
"I like the jacket you picked for yourself, Akihiko." he said as he looked over it over before realizing he probably should go change out of the clothes he was wearing.
Of course before he could get to the dressing room, the clerks had inundated him with a laundry list of clothes on various hangers. Looking at them all, he blinked with surprised and started the task of trying all of them on.
Walking out several times after changing through each, he waited for Akihiko's approval on the various choices.

Akihiko wasn't idle. He too was picking out outfit after outfit for Michi to try, even as the physical therapist was changing clothes each time.
But he didn't stray too far from the racks...
So, while Michi played fashion model, the young Koyasu gave his opinion...
"That is definitely you." he spoke of the first outfit, nodding to the manager that they would obviously take it. "Second one... make the jacket and pants black and we'll take it. The white doesn't appeal with the grey for some reason..." thankfully Yuuji translated that for him. "Third..... hmmm loose the man purse and it's good. Fourth... god no. Not the fourth fifth or sixth. Well no the shirt on the sixth is alright..." he tilted his head to the side, judging the last outfit. "Absolutely not. You look like a puffed up mouse!"
It was then that he handed Michi even MORE clothes.
"Try these too." the musician smirked, wondering if Tanaka was actually enjoying himself or just humoring him.

Staring out at the city helped the mouse pass a considerable amount of time, but come afternoon he was beginning to wonder why nobody had come by or called for him to do any work...or anything at all.
He was supposed to be managing Tanaka-san now, so he couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
No need to slack to the point of getting fired, at least. As much as he didn't feel like working right now, if he lost his job on top of everything else, he really wouldn't have much option but to throw himself from a tall building.
Leaving his suite, the manager headed to the room he knew he would be able to find his star in...but there was no answer.
Ok...well, obviously, he was out. Likely with Takagi-san, he assumed.
Heading back to his room, Nezumi picked up the phone and dialed the number he had been given for Yuuji. Best he at least check in or risk coming under fire for negligence.

kawaita tsumori ame ga tsuzunaku katari kakeru namida wa seijaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru"Or how about a warm body? That'll do it for ya, ne?" the kid teased, laughing about the guitarist's promiscuity. Sure, he was a selfish, jealous type...but that didn't make it any less entertaining to tease the man about. Not to mention the fact that he had made a deal with himself to just accept whatever he needed to if it meant keeping Kai's affections. "But seriously...if you can run the gamut from guy to busty babe...I reeeeally don't think you're all that picky." Ok, so he had been distracting. Back to the subject. "Really? Prince Charming just letting his servant run around with his life at risk like that? Sounds Princely...but not all that Charming." karada o tsutau ame ni furueru awai omoi guren no yuuwaku ni...samayou yoru ga akeru

While Akihiko played fashion expert with his new 'toy', Yuuji got a phone call...
Stepping off to the side he answered. "Nezumi-san? I was hoping you'd call. I've taken Tanaka-san and Akihiko out shopping. I could have a car bring you to us, or you could meet us at MeKa studios. Seems Akihiko promised Lucky-san to help with something he and Shou-san cooked up. Might be a good chance for you and Tanaka-san to start working together." Takagi spoke confidently, of course not letting on to anything that had happened earlier.
After all, the less Nezumi knew... the better, right?
"I had expected to see more of you last night. What happened?" an innocent question.
Or was it?
"Hey, princes are supposed to save damsels in distress, not the hired help." Nakai countered. "Besides, the prince would be so charismatic that his servant would be happy to die if it would better his beloved prince!"
But then Kai couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not that picky, am I?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head. "Maybe I should tone it down a bit... I mean hell, even corpses are warm for a bit... and necrophilia is just NOT my thing." the guitarist teased.

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 put aside the clothes that Akihiko liked and let the clerks take away the stuff he hated. Obviously, the man had better fashion sense than he did when the man bag was tossed aside. But Michi hadn't thought the 4th, 5th or 6th was too bad. However, the mouse comment made him think of Nezumi-san for some reason. And that made him wonder, where was the mousy manager?
Although he laughed when Akihiko handed him a rack of new clothes to try. "Wow, I think you just like dressing me up." he grinned as he walked back into the dressing room.
He pulled up the 3rd one right away. He liked this one a lot so he tried it on first then strode out and turned around. "I really love the colors. Ha...if Ishi-san were here he'd probably like it too. Blue is his favorite color. So what do you think?" he asked as he took a pose for Akihiko to review the look.
Once done, Michi tried the other pieces on and showed each to Akihiko. While he loved Armani's clothing he wondered if they'd make it to another store before Ishi-san called but wait...it would probably be hours before the first song was cut. Things would probably be ok.
------
Meanwhile back at the studio, that was just the case. Shou was warming up on a guitar after going through every guitar that MeKA had on hand to find one that fit him best. He was really quite picky but he wanted to sound good.
Izzy on the other hand was talking with two producers who wanted to create...and anime of their nightmarish adventure. It was rather odd speaking about his misfortune as a possible anime movie. There was even an offer for book rights and a live action film. Things that actually, he felt he needed other people to advise him on before any decisions could be made. Although, he'd end up talking to his Aunt before ever approaching...Koyasu Aki. Maybe he could talk to Hiroki-san but...but..well Ohayou's upper crust left Izzy with a bad taste in his mouth.
Talking to Akihiko about this might only bring up...other issues. He wasn't sure what he should do there but...he had a bit of time to make a decision.
Soon he would warm up his voice once Shou was done. And then these business men would have to give him space. In the back of his mind, he still wondered about singing Narcissus' song. At times, he just wanted to put it all behind him. However, if he did that, he's not be following through as Shou and his Aunt reminded him so many times. And yes, he wanted to follow through, seek out this dream of his.
At least, Akihiko was being very professional about it all. As Izzy thought about it, he wondered when it would just be the two of them together...alone. He just wanted to...mm...well that didn't work out so well on the first night alone. Izzy still felt awkward and had a feeling Akihiko did too. Were the just incompatible in that way? Was the right moment ever going to come?
Izzy was a little frustrated that he couldn't relax at the right time..couldn't just...well he finally did but it didn't help Akihiko. He should have realized the timing wasn't right.
So when he looked up, he realized he missed a third of the conversation he was having with these men. And struggled to get back into the swing of things when Shou called him back into the studio. At least, Shou had a sense of good timing.
