~Yarinaosu koto dekiru kara~
"The last thing I'm ever going to do..." Ryu said as he took Naoko's hand and whisked him into the fray of swaying, spinning couples, "...is let you fall, my angel." Ryuukaze moved with an almost supernatural grace, supporting the pianist in such a way that his feet hardly had to touch the ground. Geta or not, the akuma had them gliding as if they were skating on ice. It wasn't something he really talked about that much, but from a young age his family had put him in dance lessons of all forms, and, after they passed, the violinist had continued on, studying everything from ballet, to ballroom, to tap and jazz, even. One wouldn't have guessed, given how typically clumsy he was, but once on the dance floor, he was a sight to behold. The other party guests almost seemed to be more interested in watching Ryu and Naoko dance than they had of Shou and Chiyou. Almost. "You know, Na-kun...I think I must be the luckiest man in the world, to have ever met you." he smiled as they glided along. "Regardless of what you say. I wouldn't trade you for anything. Thank you for being with me..." Ryuukaze meant that, from the bottom of his heart. He had never been happier. No matter what bad came with this relationship, it was worth it to the violinist, and he wanted to make sure his dearest knew that. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

What a shock, it was so surprising,

Sirens Sirens!
Izzy had raced out to the cars taking he first cab he saw because the limos would have to wait for the valet. Panic wasn't a large enough word to describe the emotions that hit him all at once. Normally, he took everything day by day but tonight of all nights he couldn't imagine something like this happening.
As the cab drove quickly, he looked up and could see smoke billowing off in the distance and then when they went over a hill he could see the blaze even though he was still streets away. His throat tightened as swallow a gulp of are. All he could do was stare and try not to think of everything he had just lost. Although, he also realized that he was lucky not to have been there when the fire started.
How did this happen? Did someone forget to turn off the stove? Was it an electrical fire? He didn't know but never suspected any foul play. He just hoped those that lived there were able to get out...even though, all his memories were going up in smoke.
It was then one of his phones rang and that brought him back life for a moment. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the slim iphone. It was Koyasu-san. He took a breath trying to keep himself from getting teary eyed, "Moshi...Izzy Lucky desu."

"Ishi?!" Akihiko spoke quickly, relief flooding him.
In that moment, he really didn't care if his grandfather or Hiroki were standing there, watching.
Izzy was alright...
"Where are you? Look, I know this looks bad but just... just don't get out of your cab, alright? Head back to the event." he tried to keep any panic out of his voice. "The firemen can handle everything. Besides, it doesn't do any good for you to be standing around as the place burns."
He wanted to say he was sorry this was happening... wanted to tell Izzy that he wasn't trying to be cold or unfeeling... he was just trying to keep him safe.
Of course, admitting before the two men beside him that he felt any sort of strong attachment to the manager would, of course, be the beginning of an image transformation that Narcissus really didn't want.
"Get back here and don't leave your cab. I'll head downstairs and wait for you."

Danger Danger!
"Umm..I'm in a Nihon Yellow Cab just about 3 blocks from...my...my former apartment." he tried not to sniffle but he was very upset and barely remaining calm when he heard Akihito's voice. "It's really bad...I can see the fire shooting out from the windows...and I'm not even there yet."
"You...You...want me to head back. But Koyasu-san...I can't just go back to the Event and work while my home is..." he paused choking back a need to cry then wiped the tears from his eyes feeling so uncertain of himself. "Do you really need me there right now? I know you can handle almost anything that comes your way...I've faith in you." It was hard for him to believe that Koyasu-san could need him at a time like this.
"If you really need...me..." He glanced up as the cab pulled up to the last stoplight before the street to his former home and his jaw dropped Fire engines were everywhere as were several ambulances and police. But also off to the side down the road was a dark black limo and Izzy found that strange considering...
"There is police everywhere and so many ambulances. I can't believe that this is happening!" he choked back the tears and pressed against the cab's glass. "Did you already send a limo for me? I can see one just down the road."
"Do you want to get out here or have me drive closer." the cabby called back. "I don't think they are going to let me drive down that street."

Naoko couldn't help blushing slightly, but thankfully the makeup he was wearing, pretty much covered for that.
"Haven't we already gone over how unlucky you are?" the blond teased. "But... maybe in this one respect... you can be lucky. You've... put up with a lot in regards to me... especially lately..." that blush grew just a tiny bit more. "A... arigatou ne..."
They were spinning and twirling all about the dance floor. It was so fast that Naoko didn't even try to keep from falling. He was just concentrating on moving, keeping his body going, letting Ryu's hands guide him where he needed to be.
The blond didn't even notice the crowd watching...

What I want, I get...
No matter the method------------------------------------------------}:-  Matsumoto Izo
Chairman - SMASH
The Pre-Event
Izo had sat on the toilet watching the minutes go by as he twiddled with a Entertainment news application on his phone. He had been sitting there on the john behind the locked door of his stall while Naoko and Ryuukaze rolled through a never-ending drama. Man! I want a cigarette! But it wasn't often he had been so lucky as to have a front row seat to his 'stars' private dirt.
The situation amused him because he knew Naoko was screwed up...very screwed up. Should have fired Naoko and cut his loses with Ryukaze's crap. But he and Ryuukaze were far more desperate and cheaper than finding Shou an entire new set of talent.
Damn Shou...It was always impossible to gauge that unpredictable man and even harder to deal with him. They argued like animals but Izo couldn't afford to lose him considering his concerts were keeping things afloat. He knew Shou probably would have gone elsewhere but Izo had used several unsavory means to sabotage the previous offers.
It was fine by him that Shou was gun shy now of most of the other Studios. And well, while Shou didn't care for being managed by any stretch of the imagination, he still needed a Studio's backing to do all the mundane parts. Yes, it was a very fortuitous relationship.
As soon as the two stars had walked out, Izo finally unlocked the door to his stall and step towards the sink, "Yare Yare..." he said with a sarcastic smile. Considering he had just re-signed Hayato it was interesting to see how events were playing out. Maybe he could use this to benefit Smash...and his own personal interest.
He rubbed his dirty hands together under the hot water when suddenly his phone vibrated. Answering it, he listened for a moment then started to laugh maniacally, "You've made my day. Even better if you bring me home a Lucky lottery ticket. I'd enjoy scratching that ticket off."
He hung it up and almost dried his hands off on his suit but then thought better of it and grabbed a paper towel. Now to talk to Hayato for just a bit...He had a few ideas to inspire his star.
Then, he walked back out into the crowds to find his next target.

Ryuukaze let out a joyous laugh. "It's about time I had some luck, I will admit...but don't act like I put up with you all the time. Honestly. You've taken your fair share in regard to me." Ryu teased back. "And I don't want you to thank me for a thing. Getting to see that pretty face of yours, hearing you play piano all the time, seeing you smile, watching you eat...even the sound of you snoring at night is thanks enough." The music was drawing to an end, but this particular dance ended with increased intensity, instead of a slow drop off. Ryu broke from the crowd and spun them toward the center of the dance floor. "Hold on tight, babe, and don't flinch..." the violinist gave little warning before scooping Naoko up into his arms and lifting him high in the air above his head, supporting him with his hand on the pianist's inner thigh and belly, spinning him gracefully around and then letting Naoko's body drop down suddenly, where Ryu caught him just so that he was able to take the blond by his arms, down onto the floor, spin him around gracefully, then back up into a standing position where he changed over and took Naoko into a deep dip just as the music hit its last note. Looking into Naoko's eyes, Ryu just laughed, slightly out of breath, as the crowd broke into applause. So what if he was showing off. It was fun, and he had managed it without injuring himself or anybody else. "So...ever had a dance quite like that before?" he chuckled, bringing Naoko back up from the dip, holding onto him just in case he were dizzy. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

If Hiroki or Aki had looked at Narcissus, they would have been somewhat astonished to see the musician pale.
"Don't get in the limo." Akihiko spoke calmly, turning away from the two men and focusing his blue gaze out the window. "Just stay in the cab, Ishi. You need to return to the benefit party. I know this is hard, but the police and firemen can handle it. Your stars need you here, as their manager." the prodigy managed a slight smile. "Just think of all the trouble Nakai-kun will get into without you around to help show him the ropes. It's his first time, after all."
Okay, so he was just using Nakai's name to keep anyone from thinking that it was Narcissus who needed him.
But in all reality, right now, Akihiko NEEDED Izzy to return.
For both their sakes.

Dizzy?
Hardly... but Naoko was certainly a bit out of breath and... well.. surprised.
"Ryu-kun..." he whispered, really wanting to just wrap his arms around the other musician and kiss him.
But in this venue... better to wait until they were in a limo and far away from the cameras.
"How did you learn to do that... and without even dropping me. I'm not THAT skinny." the blond teased, glad for Ryu's arms around him.
Somehow... the pianist didn't even hear the crowd's applause.
It was just him...
And Ryuukaze...
Alone in the world for one single precious second.

Turn Around Turn Around!
"Don't get into the Limo. So that's not ours... Alright, Alright...Koyasu-san. Driver...Let's turn around. I need to go back" he called out to the cabby not sure why Koyasu-san was so insistant but maybe he was right. It was Nakai's first time. And really what could he do here except watch the fire burn everything away.
The cabby called back and said, "It's your yen." The light went green and the taxi pulled forward to find a place to turn around in the road before getting to all the congestion ahead. But then, he noticed something, "Hey wait, what's that guy doing?
Izzy looked up an saw a man get out of the limo with a gun and turned pointing it at the taxi. "Oh my god....driiii...ve DRIVE!!! He's got a gun! He's going to shoot!"
The wheel's screeched as the cab lurched forward, and hit the side of a post as the driver tried to put distance between them. Gun fire rang out and shatter glass spread like spider veins. But that noise probably wasn't heard by the firemen further down the road fighting the blaze. Izzy screamed as the taxi lurched forward again with the weight of the dead driver. "NO....no.. Oh my god.. oh my god..."
Izzy grabbed the door handle and threw the door open falling out of the car as it rolled down the street. What the hell was happening!!! He looked up in terror as he scrambled back trying to get up to run...
The Iphone...left on the seat...

The violinist had the same idea as his partner. Ryu really, almost painfully, wanted to kiss Naoko. It was so hard to resist. "It...it was something I learned over the years, with a lot of practice. I have ballet slippers tucked away somewhere at home. No kidding, I really do. And maybe you aren't that skinny, but you're certainly fit enough. With proper execution, I could do that with someone even larger than yourself." Ryu explained, still holding Naoko, unmoving, on the dance floor. "Heh...I guess we'd better quit blocking everyone's way..." he said after a long, wonderful moment had passed. Surely by now people had begun to whisper about how very close the two seemed. ~( I’m here )~ Soba ni iru wa~

Chiyou {----------Because your love, your love, your love...............
"Kuso..." Chiyou cursed when the phone went right to voicemail. It would figure that the manager wouldn't be answering that number. He very well probably didn't have that cell on him.
Fine...if that was the way things were, then Chiyou would just take the complicated route.
Heading back inside, the boy made his way across the room toward the door. For a moment, he hesitated as he saw Narcissus standing there on his phone. Should he go on his own...or ask Akihiko?
sighing, he began making his way over to the other musician.
"Gomen...Akihiko...um...wanna come with me to check on Izzy?" he asked, unaware that was who Narcissus was already on the phone with.

Gunshots...
Izzy was screaming at the driver to go, to drive before the man fired but it had been too late.
"Ishi?!" Narcissus spoke, waiting for an answer. "ISHI! RUKI, answer me damn it!"
Quickly, Akihiko moved, phone held up to his ear as he listened for any sound from his manager.
But there was nothing...
Narcissus ignored everyone... the stares of Aki and Hiroki... and even Chiyou's burning question regarding Izzy.
He didn't have the time to explain it to the brat right now...
However, the man's ice blue gaze was roaming the crowd as he passed each person... searching... seeking... until...
Luckily for him, Matsumoto was walking in the opposite direction, and he was rather close to the balcony... which provided the perfect bit of cover for the 'conversation' that Narcissus had in mind.
With blinding speed, Akihiko grabbed Matsumoto by the shoulder and shoved, hard, pushing him out onto the balcony. With a few flicks of one lithe hand, Narcissus had the retractable shades drown and the sliding door closed... all by remote.
Phone still up to his ear, the young Koyasu looked a force to be reckoned with.
"What the ******** did you just do?" he asked, his voice dripping with frozen rage, as he made sure to stand between Matsumoto and the door.
"You've been missing for a while, Matsumoto-san. Tell me... if I looked at your cell phone... would I find something interesting?"

Chiyou {----------Because your love, your love, your love...............
Apparently, Narcissus had been on the phone with Izzy this whole time, but Chiyou had to wonder why in the hell the musician seemed to be yelling at him.
"Oi! Akihiko!" he stomped his foot as the man took off.
He looked over at Asato and the chairman, shook his head, then trotted off in the direction the younger Koyasu had gone.
Then the boy saw something odd. Akihiko had grabbed Matsumoto Izo and shoved him out on the balcony...
Curiously, the blond crept over to the sliding door, leaning on it as casually as he could while trying to listen through the glass.

Chairman - SMASH
The Pre-Event
Izo had not quite been expecting the sudden burst that brought him into this room but no matter. He knew Narcissus might suspect him first. "Do? What do you think your doing, Narcissus!? Trying to make a mess out of your career as well? I was in the John...if you have to know...and talking to my company."
He pulled the phone out and showed him the last number which had the words SMASH vividly displayed. "So you can get your hands off of me and start acting Japanese rather than some barbaric baka that can run around this event insulting anyone he happens to choose. I've too much work here tonight to mess with an Indie runt like you!"
He pushed Narcissus to the side angrily and headed back towards the door. "You're nothing, Narcissus. Nothing worth my time. I've got the biggest money maker in Japanese music and you're just a has been. You aren't even worthy of your old man's company, you could never be worthy of mine!"
