Daisuke was walking down a side street. He had just left Toshiya's place after a passion-filled night, and was now heading to a rendezvous point Satoru had set up for him. As Die crossed a main street, passersby would stare at his blood red colored hair and shake their heads. Die preferred that they thought he was just a wild college student; it kept his true life well-hidden.
Die approached an abandoned building on a corner in the red light district. Takeru was standing outside smoking a cigarette. "I can't let you in without a password."
Die grunted. "But you always make me give it and the password never changes….and I know you know me by now, Takeru."
Die's grumbling was of no use. "Just say it."
The red-haired man sighed. "."
"Alright. Come on in." Takeru moved out of the way so that Daisuke could enter. Satoru was enjoying some liquor and playing poker with Masato, Chiyu, and Atsushi when Die entered.
Die pouted. "Atsushi, I hired you to off Ruki, not play poker."
"The job will be done. I kill him tomorrow, remember? That was the date specified in our contract. So today I am relaxing so that I have the energy and focus to pull off the deed tomorrow." Atsushi flashed the 'I win' grin to Die.
Just outside the building, peering in through the dusty glass was Yukihiro. He figured something was strange when his co-worker called in to work saying he was sick again for the third day in a row. As Yukihiro realized Satoru was in the Yakuza, all of the strange repeat clients Satoru had and all of the exotic vacations were making more sense in his head.
Yukihiro quietly climbed down a stack of crates and jogged a few blocks away to a small alley. There he dialed Kai's cell phone number.
Kai answered his phone. "Helloooo….." He groaned. Kai was feeling really ill on this day and hadn't left his bed in hours. Miyavi was around to pamper him and try to get his fever to go down.
"I know you're sick, but I have something important to say," Yukihiro took a deep breath. "Satoru is in the Yakuza and Ruki's client is Daisuke Andou."
Kai whimpered. "I figured it might be Die, and Ruki has probably figured that out already. Die has hated Ruki ever since Ruki refused to go out apartment hunting with Kaoru, which caused Toshiya and Kaoru to hook up. Even though Toshiya cheats on Kaoru with Die, Die will never be able to publicly claim Toshiya or confess his feelings of love for him to the rest of the world. Instead he just looks like a douchebag for being the third wheel. His silent jealousy has devoured him to the point to where he wants to kill Ruki for playing cupid in all this. If he gets Ruki, he'll probably go after Kaoru next." Yukihiro got off the phone, leaving his younger brother to rest.
Kyo was content in watching an old slasher flick when he heard a knock on the door to his apartment. "Fuck off!" Kyo hated it when people interrupted him while he was in the middle of watching a good movie.
"Well, fuck you too then!" A voice called out from behind the door. Of course, Kyo was obliged to answer the door now that he had heard Aoi's voice was on the other side of it. Pausing the DVD and peeling himself from the couch, the vocalist answered the door with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.
Aoi ignored the look he was getting and wrapped his arms around Kyo's waist. "I missed you baby," he whispered in Kyo's ear before nipping at it playfully.
Kyo's expression became neutral. "Did you decide that I am in the right yet again?" It always seemed that when Aoi and Kyo argued, no matter who was really right, Aoi always ended up submitting to Kyo.
Aoi frowned. "No, what I decided was that you can be forgiven for being an ass."
Kyo's face returned to its usual scowl. "What do you mean by that?"
Aoi grabbed Kyo and bit his neck, clamping down hard. When he pulled away, he simply said, "Just shut up and fuck me already."
Saga and Uruha were at Shou's apartment enjoying some time away from all of the madness at the flat. Ruki had left in a hell of a hurry earlier today, but he really did only have one day left to find and kill his father's client. Saga offered to help, but Ruki said this was his problem and he could take care of it on his own.
Uruha and Shou were playing "drinking" games, but the pair was using root beer so that they wouldn't get in trouble for drinking alcohol. Uruha slammed his shot glass on the table with a heavy thud. "I win again!" he cheered.
"I already told you I am not much of a chugger; I graze when I drink." Shou added a childish pout to make his whining complete.
"You graze? Like a cow?" Uruha burst into a gigglefit.
In the center of all this chaos sat Reita and I. The two of us wanted to go on a vacation together before the tour, but there was too much drama taking place at the flat for us to be able to travel and not worry about home every five minutes.
Reita and I were just relaxing on Reita's bed; he was rubbing my belly lazily as we were trying to discuss everyone in the house. We wanted to connect the dots, and figure out how everyone could be traced to the Yakuza in five or less steps. Unfortunately, Satoru did have some control over the police in our area.
I wanted badly to check on Kai, but I knew Reita didn't want me to get sick just a week before the tour, so I stayed put. If Kai wasn't so sick, maybe he would have told me about how Satoru victimized me because he had received false information and was told that I was Ruki's girlfriend and not Reita's. Apparently, Die wanted revenge…and badly.
