Intermission

Two Days Later

Isao walked down the hallway of Akatoki Agency for the last time.

I'll show them and that fucking bitch, no one can fuck with me, Isao growled to himself. He had a scowl on his face as he was making his way out of the building, formulating a plan of revenge. He saw a beautiful woman leave a room and recognized the goddess of managers, Shoko Aki. He begged and pleaded multiple times with her to dump the kid she had and take him on instead.

"Aki, baby, how about you come away with me," he tried to grab her hand, and she swiftly took it out of reach.

"Drop dead, bastard," Shoko snapped and continued to walk away while he walked backwards slowly admiring the view.

He didn't notice the door from the room she left was still open, nor did he notice the hands of the person that grabbed him and pulled him inside. He crashed into the room and his back landed on the edge of a small table. He groaned in pain as he sat on the floor. The door closed shut and a lock was thrown.

"What the fuck man!" He cursed as he rubbed his back. After a moment Isao looked up to see a young blonde singer looming over him.

"Hello, Isao. We need to have a little chat," the young singer said darkly. A tabloid paper was thrown at him with the blurry pictures of him assaulting Kyoko. He looked at the page, and his eyes widened in fear as a shadow crept closer to him.

Welcome to the 6 o'clock news.

Today Kuroski Isao was found beaten half to death in an alley near the hospital.

As you remember, Kuroski Isao was recently released from the assault charges against LME's Kyoko-san. He made a rather expensive bail and was released from his contract from Akatoki Agency.

Sources say he suffered a broken arm, nose and two broken ribs along with severe bruising. He will be let out in a week. Reports claim he was attacked but fails to mention who did it. One comment was made that he "simply wants to go home."

Shoko walked over from her kitchen with a bag of ice and a soft drink. She sat down on her couch and roughly placed the ice on Sho's hand.

"Ow Shoko! That hurts," Sho whined taking the drink as well as adjusting the bag on his knuckles.

"Serves you right," she said with a frown but couldn't help but smile so very pleased by his actions.
