Mwahahaha, ideas are flowing in my head. MUST RESIST WRITING ONE-SHOT UNTIL COMPLETING THIS AND WRITING ANOTHER CHAPTER OF SOMETHING ELSE.

I'm starting to think I'm posting these too quickly… ^_^

In Which a Rock Star's Life Grows Increasingly Worse

.Three.

"KUMAGOROU BEAM!" Ryuichi shrieked, throwing the rabbit into the man's face.

Ordinarily, this would buy him some time to run off and snatch Kumagorou as well, but Sakano merely cradled the stuffed animal, inhaling its scent. "It smells just like you, Ryu-chan."

All right, Ryuichi was scared, but he didn't want to leave Kumagorou.

"Sakuma-san!"

Ryuichi brightened, recognizing the person's voice. "Shuichi!" But wait… how did Shuichi know where he lived? Was it just another plot hole? Oh well, no matter.

The door to his bedroom opened. Why wasn't it still open from when Sakano got in? Well, he closed it in hopes to romance the kawaii singer away.

There stood the pink-haired wonder and his sidekick writer boyfriend. (Yuki: …Side kick?)

Ryuichi fastened himself quickly to Shuichi's legs. "Wahhh! I was so scared! Your manager was TOUCHING me!" Shuichi's fingers found their way to Ryuichi's head, ruffling the silky hair.

"You're safe now Ryu-chan," he said gently. Purrs escaped from the rock star's throat as he leaned forward to get full treatment.

…What happened to the honorific 'Sakuma-san'?

Yuki's eyes went to the bed before a smirk graced his face, "I'm sure Sakano will be willing to share."

Ryuichi immediately backed away from Shuichi. "N-Nani?" Surprise and fear was definitely present in his words. "W-Why are you all looking at me that way?" Predatory looks were locked on the men's faces.

He understood when he saw the stances they were in. They were planning on pouncing him! And considering the way they were positioned, it wasn't one full of friendliness.

Ryuichi grabbed Kumaogoru and bolted.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

[START INTERMISSION]

Chibi Ukyou, I'm sorry to inform you of this but… *sob* Tatsuha passed away last night as I was writing the chapter… Just kidding. The real thing I'm sorry to inform is that it will be a little while until darling Tat-chan appears. But at least he's appearing. ^^;

Tatsuha: HUG ME. ;-;

Pan-chan, that hurt. I haven't achieved the boulder deflecting ability yet. @_@ So I had to give in and write. DAMN YOU! (…NO! DON'T RUN! YOU MUST REVIEW!)

Evangeline, trust me, I WILL SMITE YOU FOR YOUR INSOLENCE.

Ryuichi: Wahhh! Don't hurt Evangeline! ß Why is he favoring someone that tortures him?

TalonSage, your wish/demand is my command.

[END INTERMISSION]

So Ryuichi ran and ran off in his large tee-shirt and shorts, the only warmth, his stuffed rabbit.

author Oh yeah, let's assume Ryuichi's house is really far from the building and that's the reason why he isn't being driven there. His driver is a lazy bum. But Ryu-chan is getting exercise and it's taken him several hours to walk there. But since he's an anime character, he's not very tired. ^_^;;; ß Hopes the readers are buying it. I'll also assume the place is open pretty early so the plot will go on. /author

His thoughts wandered off on the event that had just happened a while ago. What was wrong with those three? They looked… scary. Their eyes seemed to be glazed with an emotion he couldn't identify and never related with. But it was similar to those fan girls at their concerts. It was what Touma and Noriko described as lust.

lust (noun) :. usually intense or unbridled sexual desire.

Ryuichi gulped, feeling sweat beginning to trickle down his face. Why would they be reacting to him in that way? They saw him nearly everyday. The safest place to head was work, but his lack of normal dress was disconcerting. Ryuichi sighed, holding the stuffed rabbit closer as he headed to work. Luckily he had on his in-door house slippers even though they were now getting dusty from the sidewalk.

When he arrived to his destination, he went to the place he knew he would be most safe: the broom closet. But seeing as there were brooms in there, he had to go to the next best place: Touma's office.

After all, he had known Touma for many years and if it had taken today for the man to start feeling… he shuddered as he thought of it, lust, for him, well, that'd be entirely inconvenient and bad. He approached the door, opening it to see through the creak. There was Touma, having a discussion with K, and it appeared as if they had just concluded their conversation and were now in the ultimate staring contest of the century. Ryuichi took a seat on the black couch that was near the desk, exhaling the breath he had been holding since he had escaped the clutches of the dreaded trio.

K nodded, satisfied at the spot Bad Luck had achieved along with the amount of money being made on record sales and left, closing the door behind him.

"Is there any reason why you are on my couch in your night clothes, Ryuichi?" Touma asked, organizing the papers on his desk as he began to mark them off as he skimmed through the fine prints.

Ryuichi was silent for a while. "I walked from my place to get here and I didn't have the time to change due to… contingencies."

"What kind of contingencies?" Touma was slightly puzzled. What could've happened that caused the rock star to be dressed in that attire, in slippers, and to have had to walk here?

An intake of air was what started the conversation once more. "I was… 'attacked'," he said with difficulty, emphasis on the word attacked.

"Attacked?"

Ryuichi squirmed in embarrassment as he continued, "Well…Erm… Sakano, Shuichi, and Yuki came by… Sakano was… touching me… while Shuichi and Yuki were acting… weird."

author I'm wondering if Ryuichi would even address Sakano and Yuki that way… /author

If they were outside, a cold wind would've passed by for Touma's voice now held a slight edge. "Oh, what did Eiri-san do?"

"He said something about Sakano being willing to share. I don't really get what they were talking about, so I ran off." Ryuichi waited for any sign of a reply and was startled when he heard the sound of something snapping as easily as a twig would. "…Touma?" He began to grow teary eyed at his friend's behavior and was now remembering at how easily the Kumagorou Beam had been stopped.

Touma gave Ryuichi a smile, an indication that he wasn't angry and was feeling all right. But in reality, he was angry. Why did Eiri go out with his annoying boyfriend to have a four-some with Ryuichi and Sakano when HE was right here? "I need something to calm my nerves…" he muttered, looking through his desk drawers, ignoring the confused stares from his friend. While liquor was a way to go, he had a business to take care of and an image to maintain. All he found were the chocolates from yesterday that Ryuichi had given him that were untouched and pieces of paper.

Touma did not want to have paper cuts on his tongue as a result from eating paper so he chose to eat some of the chocolate pieces instead. He quickly pulled at the thin blue ribbon, anxious for anything so he wouldn't scare off people with his jealously/concern for Eiri. He plopped the pieces of chocolate into his mouth, not caring that Ryuichi was watching him eat in such an inelegant manner. The sheer taste of the chocolate enveloped him in loving warmth. The texture, the way it melted perfectly into his mouth. And the flavor was unlike any chocolate he had ever had; each with a familiar attribute to his favorite junk food.

It was heavenly, but now he felt something else besides the pleasure of having something so delicious. But there was a raging fire in his abdomen, something like a carnal desire. He turned and truly looked at Ryuichi.

Ragged olive with a hint mahogany hair, endless midnight turquoise eyes…

author…I can't believe I just wrote some attempted prose. -_-; Oh shoot me./author

Touma advanced. Ryuichi noticed something familiar about this situation, the way Touma was looking at him…

It sunk in.

"AH! NOT YOU TOO!"

It was at that moment that the door to Touma's office began to shake, voices growing louder with frustration, and two other people stumbled in.

Touma giggled-GIGGLED at Ryuichi's expression of mortification. "I have you all to myself, Ryu-chan!"

'Oh, what joy…' Ryuichi thought, he was losing all hope in this situation. With that, he began to chew on Kumagorou's ears as he backed up, encountering only the couch he was currently lying on. 'Kumagorou, say crap.'

Too bad stuffed bunnies cannot talk and that those two people that shall not be named until the next chapter did not seem to be here to rescue him.

Did you know fear makes Ryuichi say words like crap?

To BE CONTINUED…

…I was too lazy to add more to this chapter. -_-;
