Last Chapter - Vici.
From far away, a man a red-long sleeved turtleneck stopped at the scene where Tatsuha had fainted. Well, he was still there gawking anyway.
The man raised his eyebrow slightly in annoyance. Without turning around, the man commented flatly, "Just go get a damn room already."
Then, he walked away with his hands inside his pant pockets. As he approached the table in his dressing room, he couldn't help but blink at the script on his table.
In a way, he stared at it with frustration. It wasn't that it was a hard part to play, but it required something more excruciating than delivering a flawless performance for a faultless character...
It was the damn smiling!
With a deadpan look, he opened the script and flipped through the pages. Then, he watched himself in the mirror as he practiced his lines.
Smile...it is such a hard task.
Lifting up one corner of his mouth unnaturally, he looked weirder than usual and looked like his face would contort in pain if he continued. And so, he stopped.
"Ouch", he thought, but still held his deadpan look.
"Seguchi-san? Seguchi-san? Please report to the set please. Seguchi-san, please report to the set."
Lifting his head a bit, he answered, "Hn."
As he walked out of his dressing room, he closed the door quietly and nodded with another 'hn' coming from his lips unmoved.
The person standing in front of him replied, "Hn."
"That's where you are Heero!" Shinigami ran over to Heero and waved hi to Touma. "Touma-kun~!"
Touma nodded with a slight smirk appearing on his face. But you had to closely look at his face to make sure. "He tried to get away again."
"Aa." Heero nodded as Shinigami-sama whapped him on the backside of his head and retorted, "Heero!"
"Ja."
They all said goodbye, but Duo pulled Heero by his green tank top and dragged him on the floor scolding, "You tried to self-destruct again, didn't you? I know you don't like doing reunions, but..."
As Touma came closer to the stage, he immediately stopped and sighed in frustration.
No more than a second, a flash of people ran by. Dee was again running all over the studio trying to chase after Ryo for another session of 'Fake'. But Hiro was trying to teach Dee how to handle his gun since he was a secret agent by night.
[Figures why he's so damn cute...]
"No, you have to ricochet it off your thumb to make it look cooler!" Hiro instructed.
"I'm not a shooting target!!" Ryo shouted back. "I can't handle another session of him sitting on my back and ripping my favorite shirt!!!!"
"But Ryo~! You actually liked it, though!" Dee countered as he tried to readjust his gun as he pulled it off his holster. "Now stand still!"
[Guess that's where Shuichi learned it...persistence I mean...]
Lifting up his eyebrows, again, Touma again resumed walking to the set in peace...or so he thought.
Kurama, who was Youko at the moment, patted Hiei on the head. "But you have to."
"No." Hiei, as always, was being a punk and didn't want to do anything he didn't want to.
Touma shook his head. "Just go."
Hiei, with much protest, walked with Youko pushing his shoulder gently. Turning slightly, Youko nodded his head in thanks.
[Apparently, Touma-kun knows way too many people...]
When Touma FINALLY made it there, he stepped onto the stage and put on the vintage coat that made Touma come alive. That and that Hokuto-chan decided to finally make an appearance and probably is the reason why Touma can pull off those types of clothing.
["For someone quiet, he seems sociable. Ne, Shuichi?" the author comments as she eats more popcorn.
Chibi Shuichi nods. "Sou desu~!]
"Hokuto-chan!" Subaru-kun loudly whispered embarrassed. "Come over here!"
Turning to Subaru-kun, Hokuto gave an innocent look. "But what did I do?!"
"I knew you'd be here! I could see your influence in the clothing!" Slapping his hand on his forehead, he shook his head.
Seishirou readjusted his glasses and smiled a sly smile. "That's okay, Subaru-kun."
Laughing, Subaru blushed again at Seishirou holding his shoulder. Holding his hand out, Seishirou called out to Hokuto to get off the set.
"Gomen~!" she replied to everyone as she walked off the stage. "I just need to do something else while I wait for X to finish!"
Subaru-kun again bowed his trademark pose while holding his hat. "Sumimasen!"
"It's because she finally made an appearance again in X vol. 16, isn't it?" Subaru-kun commented as they walked away.
"Demo~!" Hokuto-chan protested. "Watashi wa..."
[SUBARU! SEISHIROU! WHICH ONE DO I GO FOR?!?!
Chibi Shuichi looks at the main characters of Tokyo Babylon and drools at Seishirou...
"Oi, Yui-chan!!!!" Chibi Shuichi shakes the author violently. "Don't faint!!!
Getting up with stars, she resumes the story...]
"Okay! Let's start taping again!" the director sighed as he sat back in his chair. "Seguchi-san! You stand in the-" and he suddenly stopped.
"I'm not going back! Not until there's a seen with Mana in this volume of Kizuna!" Kai shouted at the top of his lungs.
The producers nodded their heads. "Hai hai!!! Just get off the Gravitation set!"
Smiling like a brat satisfied for the moment, he walked out and popped his head back in. "Heh. Sorry!"
Then, he walked out happily as Masa walked next to him.
"Going back to the scene, let's begin!" the director shouted on the set. "Seguchi-san, you'll sit over there behind your desk and deliver your lines while holding your hands like Gendou Ikari, only, you smile evilly."
"Ack." he thought to himself but kept his deadpan look.
Then, his boyfriend came to the set and whispered to the director. Sighing again in irritation, the director just waved at him and put his head down as Trowa went towards the desk.
Deadpan as usual and a cool bang over half of his face, he said, "Stop playing around Quatre. I don't want you to go to Zero mode again."
"Aww, man! Just when I thought I'd pull it off!"
The real 'Touma' waved and laughed as he exchanged clothes with Quatre and became his deadpan self again. "Sorry, it was something fun to do."
["I knew it! I knew it!" the author screamed as she pointed her finger up and down at the scene.]
The cast and staff gawked.
"He's a sadist even in real life..." the director mumbled to himself and then yelled, "NOW LET'S GET ON WITH IT!"
After finishing the scene, everyone was supposed to take another break after all the mayhem.
Nothing was really getting done today...
As the cast lounged around in a well-furnished room with air-conditioning and refreshments, Shuichi quietly sat shyly next Yuki as he sipped his tea. In nervousness, Yukito started to pat his arm in comfort and commented, "It's okay, Shuichi-kun. Just do as I told you, keep calm."
Yukito smiled and looked at Touma, who was drinking some hot chocolate. "Right, Touma?"
Touma nodded and leaned over to Yukito. "See? You do it like this? Make it look like it's real."
Yukito turned his head to stare straight into Touma's eyes. "'Look' real?"
He winked at Touma and Touma again blushed. "Ahem, yeah...so..."
K and D were nodding at the other end of the room as Hiro frustratingly hit both of them with his teaching stick as he tried to show him how to use guns for the 1000th time.
Suguru just put out his arms out on the couch and looked around as he drank some root beer. Looking like a fine-ass bad boy, he again smirked.
Sakano-san began putting his gloves back on. "Ah, leather!" he sighed in relief.
"Ryuichi-san!" shouted the PA system. "Ryuichi-san! Please come immediately to the reception room!"
"Hai!" There appeared at the entrance two Ryuichi's. They were both acting sexy as usual. But then, they looked at who answered and laughed at one another.
"Wrong, Ryuichi." answered yet another sexy voice. He appeared in a naughty Nazi outfit with vinyl boots to match as he waved around the room.
In a cool manner, Sugizo apologized, "Gomen. I'll take this Ryuichi back to Luna Sea."
Walking away, Ryuichi again shook his head in confusion.
[It's the bright gold shirt from the Tokyo Dome concert I think...]
Ryuichi came into the room and smiled demurely and sat where Tatsuha was heading to. Unfortunately, because he didn't have his contacts on or his glasses for that manner, accident-prone Tatsuha fell gloriously into the lap of Ryuichi.
And he responded back by smiling and mumbling. "Today, you shall not escape me, Tatsuha-kun."
Tatsuha-kun blushed and sat by Ryuichi.
Then, a flying object flew over and smashed Shuichi in the face. It was then that a young man came running over and bowed once saying, "I'm sorry. That's mine."
The cast and staff immediately stopped talking. For who had appeared in the room? If it was a glorious intercession just like Tatsuha falling into Ryuichi's lap, no one knew what to call it.
For if this person were here, the other would appear...
...and Koji Nanjo came into the room. "Oh, so that's where you are Izumi."
"Shibuya accidently kicked my soccer ball," he explained. He again nodded his head apologetically and smiled.
"Here," Koji said as he passed more music sheets to Yuki and Ryuichi and the two most popular shounen ai/yaoi couple walked off the stage to complete another modeling session for Bronze 12.
"You know Koji Nanjo, Yuki~!" Shuichi finally sputtered out.
Yuki laughed genkily. "It explains a lot, now doesn't it?!"
"Special delivery! Special delivery!" a mail carrier came into the room and asked for the director to sign the registered envelope. As he read the paper, he went on his knees and shouted, "NOOOO~~~! I have to work even longer with these weirdos!? What the hell do you mean by an OAV?!?!"
But as all this craziness was going on, Ryuichi slipped out of the room with Tatsuha and whispered clearly to his ear, "Veni vici."
Tatsuha, who finally learned to catch on, lifted an eyebrow and whispered back teasingly, "Teach me the last phrase, Ryuichi."
And this time, Tatsuha pulled Ryuichi's collar and him into the bedroom as Ryuichi laughed while closing the door behind him without looking backwards.

Author's note: Hope it's okay. Sorry it was late, but when Yui's stuck with writer's block, she really is stuck.
I just wanted to put more stuff...
