Chapter 6

Ken stood there in front of the mike and sighed. "Ano... I'm not sure I can do this today..."

Everyone dropped what they were holding. Were... were they hearing this from Ken?! They might hear it from Ran because he didn't feel like it sometimes, Yohji because he was lazy and Omi because he had a test to study for, but... but... KEN?!

"D-datte! Ken-san, we need this song done by next week! We always do you last because you're always more efficient and we have to get the others out of the way... Ken-san, don't do this to us, onegai!"

Ken looked at the producer, who was about ready to cry, already at wit's end because of the stress from the other members in Ken's group. Ken sighed and nodded. The producer gave him a reassuring smile and signaled for everyone else to get ready.

"Come on, let's get going, guys!"

~*~*~*~*~*

Ken collapsed onto the sofa and promptly fell asleep.

"Ken-san always works so hard... we're lucky he's not like Ran-san or Yohji-san."

Everyone nodded as they watched Ken sleep. They soon found places in the studio for themselves to sleep at.

~*~*~*~*~*

Ken yawned as he sat up, mumbling, "I'm ready!"

The producer groaned, "But we're not..."

Ken laughed and got up, saying, "I'm going to wash up, then!"

The producer nodded, mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like, "Sugoi... I get a million dollar raise? Arigatou..."

~*~*~*~*~*

Ken, upon entering the bathroom, found Sakuma Ryuichi attempting to brush Kumagoro's teeth.

"Kumagoro, stop fighting me and open up, na no da!"

Ken grinned and stood at the next sink. "Having a hard time, Sakuma-san?"

Ryuichi looked up and blinked. "Ah, Ken Hidaka-kun, ne?"

Ken nodded and proceeded to brush his teeth. Ryuichi gave him a grin and gave up on Kumagoro's teeth, yelling, "Fine, then! It's not my fault if you get a cavity and you die!"

Ken burst out laughing, spewing foam all over the mirror and some on Ryuichi and Kumagoro.

"Eeeew! Gross, Hidaka-kun!" Ken laughed, gasping out, "Gomen, demo... ahahahahah!"

Ken grabbed a tissue and began to wipe the toothpaste foam off of Ryuichi and Kumagoro.

"Gomen-nasai, honto-ni! Demo... you can't die from a cavity, Sakuma-san!"

Ryuichi hit him once with Kumagoro, saying, "Can too!"

Ken laughed and gasped out, "Gomen-nasai! My mistake!"

Ken suddenly stopped laughing and stared down at his hands. He sighed and turned around, continuing to brush his teeth.

"Is Hidaka-kun sad?"

Ken shook his head, whispering, "Iie... Dai... daijoubu..."

He spit out the foam that was left in his mouth and began to rinse. "Ne... Ryu-chan can make you feel better..."

Ken choked on the water he had just been about to spit out, and ended up coughing. Ryuichi banged on his back. THAT kind of voice had just come out of Sakuma Ryuichi's mouth... Dear GOD!

"Hahahha... Ryu-chan's just joking! Ryuichi and Kumagoro like Hidaka-san! You're funny!"

Ken nodded and they left the bathroom together. "What are you doing here, Sakuma-san? I wasn't aware that you had a recording today?"

"Emergency. Tohma has to go to Europe next week so we can't do it then." Ken nodded knowingly. Ran was constantly leaving to go to other places because he wanted to see his sister.

"Ne, why is Hidaka-kun sad?"

Ken laughed. "I'm not sad, Sakuma-san... and you can call me Ken."

"Only if you call me Ryuichi na no da!!!"

"Hai, Ryuichi!" They smiled at each other.

"Ne, Ken!"

"Hm?"

"Wanna... eat lunch together?" Ken stared at him in surprise. SAKUMA RYUICHI, aka GOD, was asking him to eat lunch with him?!

"H-hai!"

"Okay, then! I'll pick you up at your studio later, na no da!"

"H-hai!"

~*~*~*~*~*

"I'm here to pick up Ken, na no da!"

"Ara? Sakuma-san!"

Ryuichi grinned at the producer. "When will he be finished?"

"We're at the last part of this song... he'll be let lose for lunch pretty soon."

Ryuichi nodded and grabbed a seat. He stared through the window at Ken, whose eyes were closed.

"Okay, Hidaka-kun, ready?"

Ken nodded and soon, the music began to play again. Ryuichi stared at the boy before him, entranced. So beautiful... with a voice to match.

Unknown to Ryuichi, Crawford stood at a corner, glaring at Ryuichi. *He's here to pick up Ken? When did this happen?! Either way, he's a child! He's -*

He stopped himself. He was not jealous. Ken ran out when he finished and blushed when he saw Ryuichi grinning at him.

"A-ano... you listened? I know I probably didn't sound as good as you do, since you're so much more talented and all but I hope you enjoyed it because I've always admired your singing and such because your voice is so beautiful and -"

Ryuichi kissed him on the cheek, making freeze, and then melt. "Let's go eat lunch, na no da!"

Crawford followed behind silently, unknowingly glowering at the genki singer.
