Author Stuff~ Alrighty then, so here's chapter 2. I have to admit, I was entirely surprised by how many reveiws I got for this story so far... It being the first chapter and a crossover and all... but, those reveiws made me feel all bubbley on the inside and so I decided to finish up chapter 2! ^^ Oh, I would just like to mention this, just incase there's anybody out there dieing for a good Viewfinder crossover, but, uh... There's this really good crossover called "Untitled *something, something*"... but the author is Rocquell and it's a Supernatural crossover... idk, it's just a oneshot, but that just means you get to the lemon tingy that much quicker, neh? XD

Okay, with that said, ya'll should point me in the right direction for other Veiwfinder crossovers that you've read and liked. (Or wrote yourself.) I reaaaaallllly want to read some and I'm having trouble finding them on my own... M'kay?

Warning~ It's rated 'M' for a reason folks... -.-


"Kaoru Tamashi."

Looking up from his pile of paper work, Kanou scanned over both Kubo twins before sending Misao a questioning look.

"…who?" he asked incredulously.

"The person who 'accidentally' blackmailed you, sir: Kaoru Tamashi." repeated Misao. "She's a small time accountant working for a man named Subaka Toumi. I believe Mr. Subaka is the man she meant to blackmail, but in some unfortunate string of events, ended up mailing the thumb-drive to you…"

Sighing, Kanou rubbed his face, as if to get rid of the two nights worth of insomnia and a life time of stress. So this Kaoru chick was trying to blackmail her boss… Perhaps he could solve this whole thing by just giving the thumb-drive back to her. No harm no foul?

Yeah, like things are ever that easy.

Looking up at Misao again, Kanou proceeded to ask what he dug up on Mr. Subaka.

"He inherited his business from his father, who passed away some time ago. However, it seems as though a monkey was more qualified to run a business than him… Within the first few weeks his corporations' worth plummeted a good 20%." replied Misao, stoic as ever.

"But his business has recovered," added Homare. "And in about as short of time as it regressed and back-peddled. It's actually worth 1% more than when Subaka's father was in charge."

This caught Kanou's attention. So within a few week's it lost a considerable amount of profit and stock… but then, it suddenly shot back up.

Crap… If my suspicions are correct, this is going to be an even bigger hassle than I first thought…

"Homare, Misao… What, exactly, did Mr. Subaka do to bring his business back from the grave?"

Looking at each other, the Kubo twins confirmed both of their suspicions with a mere glance.

"It's to our belief sir…" said Homare.

"That Subaka is part, or under the thumb of the Yakuza." finished Misao.

And there we go. Kanou could just see the shit hitting the proverbial fan.

Sighing for the millionth time, Kanou decided that nipping the problem at the bud was the best way to handle the situation. He really didn't want to deal with the Yakuza. The pompous old geezers and barely educated thugs were not good for business.

Standing up, Kanou grabbed his jacket before he started shooting off commands.

"Misao, tell the driver to be ready by the time I get to the entrance. I'm going to go have a little chat with Miss Kaoru. Also, do as much background research as you can on Subaka and his business dealings. But… Be careful. I have a gut feeling things aren't gonna go as smoothly as I hope. Homare, you're with me…"


"Stupid, ugly, old bastard…" grumbled Kaoru as she walked out of the elevator, heading towards her apartment. "Still no answer and I sent that thumb-drive three days ago! There's no way he hasn't gotten it yet! He must not be taking me seriously…"

Pulling the keys from her purse, Kaoru stopped in front of her door for a moment. What had she gotten herself into? Perhaps it would have been better if she had confronted Subaka directly, so he didn't have a chance to back out of her demands? No, no… The thumb-drive thing was a brilliant plan, she had the original files stashed away so it's not like if he threw away the drive it would matter. But still… She couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't going to go the way she'd hoped.

Unlocking the door, Kaoru stepped into her dark apartment, calling a greeting to her cat.

"I'm home, Fluffy!" she yelled half-heartedly as she took her shoes off and re-locked the door.

"Welcome home."

Dropping her purse, Kaoru quickly spun around to face wherever that voice had come from. She didn't live with anyone, well, minus Fluffy, and it's not like he could reply. So that meant someone had broken into her house!

Suddenly the room was flooded with light, and there, in her living room, was a man. He was well built and dressed expensively, with short brown hair and a deadly serious look in his eyes. He was sitting almost casually in her loveseat, a none-too pleased scowl clearly evident. He did not look happy.

"W-who are you and why are you in my apartment?" she tried to keep a calm façade, but she couldn't help the quiver in her voice when she spoke.

"Have a seat."

What? He just completely ignored my question!

"Excuse me, but I believe I- "

"I would take the seat if I were you, Miss Kaoru." said another voice. Quickly turning her head to see exactly who had just interrupted her, she had to use all her will power to not gasp or gape like a moron. There, on the other side of her small living room, leaning on the wall, was yet another mysterious man. Though he looked less threatening than the man on her loveseat, he still didn't look all too inviting.

"Eh? I- I…" quickly mulling over her options, Kaoru decided that running was probably the stupidest thing she could do and sitting was, though not very logical, the only thing she could do at the moment. Walking over to the couch, Kaoru made a point to sit as far away from the two mystery-men as possible.

Gulping, she looked up at the more threatening looking man. She could tell already that this was going to be extremely unpleasant, she just hoped that whatever they planned on doing, she would at least get out of it alive.


Leaning back in his seat, Kanou distractedly watched as the city life passed by in a blur.

His talk with Kaoru had gone pretty smoothly… sort of. But it had left him feeling exhausted, if not physically, then mentally. He didn't particularly like threatening women, he found it as a very cowardly thing to do. But, he needed to do something and quickly if he wanted to keep the Yakuza off his back and away from his business. He just hoped he had done it quickly enough…

Sighing, Kanou went over what he had told Kaoru in his head, and wondered if he had gotten the point across.

Basically, he gave her back the thumb-drive, saying he understood it was a slight mistake and that it wasn't meant for him. Then he proceeded to scare the living hell out of her via threat. Then he told what a slippery slope blackmail was, and told her that it could easily end up a double edged sword. After that, he decided to let her wallow in her choices… Personally, he didn't care if Subaka got blackmailed or not. But, he did have a heart, and he didn't want to see Kaoru get killed by the Yakuza.

He left with Homare after that, and here he was, in the back of his limo, on his way back to the office. He had a meeting in ten minutes.

Joy.

Blackmail was just a small pit stop in his extremely busy day. It was about midnight now, and he still had so many things to do. And what idiot had set up that damn meeting at MIDNIGHT?

Oh, wait… That was me…

Fuck.


Standing across the street from Kaoru Tamashi's apartment complex, Yama could hardly believe his eyes.

There, just a few feet away, was one of Japan's most successful businessmen: Kanou Somuku.

What the Hell is he doing here?

The tall, slender man was walking out of the building, a thoughtful expression on his face. He and another man got in a rather expensive looking car and drove off.

Shit.

Something was definitely not right. It couldn't have been just coincidence that Kanou was at this particular complex. He must have been there to see Kaoru. But why?

It obviously had something to do with Subaka… didn't it?

No, no… Can't jump to conclusions. For all I know they could be together in some strange and cliché love affair.

With this in mind, Yama set off to do what Asami had ordered him to do: pick up and deliver one Kaoru Tamashi. It wasn't his job to figure out what exactly was going on, that would be up to Asami himself and a few Yakuza underlings. He just hoped that Asami would give him a bit of break after all this…


Alrighty... We'll have some Asami time next chapter, so dun be no freaky-outy! XD Again, I don't need elaberate reveiws, just an 'Update NOOOOOW!' will do... ;) Just gotta know ya still want me to write. ^.~
