Chapter Nine. Man, I've been spitting these chapters out like no one's
business. Seriously, I have NO idea where I am going with this fic so I'm
excited to see where K and Sakano end up. Oh, I should warn you that there
is a little violence in this chapter (Damn you Tohma!!) and more angsting
from K and poor Sakano isn't even in this chapter. Um...watch out for some
strong language near the end too. Hehehe, I know, but Tohma needs his power
words as does K. PLEASE review. Seriously, the more reviews I get, the more
I love to write. Okay, enjoy
Chapter Nine: Love and War
Bad Luck came into work the next morning when Sakano had scheduled them. Suuichi had brought Tatsuha along, hoping to see both Sakano and K at Nittle Grasper Studios, but that wasn't the case. They walked in to just K, sitting in a chair having a cup of coffee and scribbling some notes on a sheet of lined paper. Sakano was nowhere to be found. Suuichi wasn't worried though. It was quite possible that he was up in Tohma's office talking about different "business" ideas.
"MOSHI MOSHI, K!!" Suuichi said, hopping on top of the table, spilling K's extraordinarily hot coffee on his lap, "We are here and ready to work!"
K jumped up, screaming in pain, grabbing his pants and trying to fan off his lower regions. The coffee was like an acid spill in his khakis. He turned to Suuichi, hand on his gun, ready to fire off a few rounds, but before he could, Fujisaki spoke up.
"We can't begin until Sakano gets here. Where is he anyway? He's never late like this. He better not be weaseling out of rehearsal like YOU have been doing lately, K-san."
That little spore just didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. K pulled his gun out of its holster and pointed it at Fujisaki's temple. Fujisaki scowled a little, but ceased when he heard the clicking sound of the magnum. K was SO not in the mood to deal with anyone's petty complaints today, especially from Fujisaki who was only in the group due to the fact that he was Tohma's cousin.
"Sakano won't be coming," an acidic voice said from the door. All of Bad Luck and K turned to the door to see the entire mass off Nittle Grasper standing at the door. Even Noriko was there. She never came to see Bad Luck with Seguchi and Ryuichi. Something must have been wrong, "In fact, Sakano will never be coming back. He gave me his resignation yesterday night. He no longer wants to work for NG Studios or for Bad Luck."
Suuichi felt shock rip through his person. Sakano was gone? He never expected Sakano to do something so drastic so fast, without even talking with K beforehand. Where had he gone? Where in the world could he have possibly gone? Suuichi looked over at K and noticed that the gun that he was pointing at Fujisaki's head was slipping from his hand. It fell to the ground with a metallic clang and his arm fell along with it, resting limp at his side. Suuichi looked back over at Tohma. He was smirking, smiling when K was in so much pain.
"Anyway, this leaves me in a very awkward position, doesn't it, Mr. K?" Tohma said as K continued to space out, "What do I do with a group without a producer? I'm terribly sorry, but I'm pulling the plug on Bad Luck. You weren't ready for the industry anyway. Besides, I have already decided to put all of my efforts into Nittle Grasper's return. So pack up your things, Bad Luck is no longer under the NG record label."
With that, Seguchi and Noriko turned and walked out of the room, leaving a very stunned room of boys, "Gomen, Suuichi." Sakuma said before turning to leave. Hiro and Fujisaki stood there, looking at the door where Tohma had just delivered their pink slips. K flopped into a chair and placed his head against the hard wood. Suuichi on the other hand wasn't going to take that from the person whom he trusted to make the right decisions for their group.
"IIKIMASHO, K!!" he said, grabbing K's hand and dragging him from the table, "We CAN'T let him do this to us!! We had a contract!"
K yanked his hand away and turned away from Suuichi, "Give it up, Suuichi. It's over. Bad Luck is over, alright? Leave Tohma Seguchi alone and let's just pack up our stuff and leave. We can't embarrass ourselves anymore then we already did."
Suuichi just stared at him, eyes wide and shocked. He didn't say anything to K after that. Suuichi took off running down one of the many hallways, searching for his manager. It was easy to catch up to the three of them; they weren't trying to escape. Suuichi stopped in his tracks and screamed, "SEGUCHI-SAMA!!"
Tohma stopped in his tracks and turned slowly, eyes glittering in the flickering lights of the hall, "Ne?" he said as Suuichi's chest heaved with exhaustion and anger. Noriko and Sakuma had decided that this was no battle of theirs and exited through an unmarked door.
"You can't strike us from the label! We had a deal! We had a contract! You can't-"
"Shut up." He said, anger contorting his face into something wicked, "Consider our contract null and void. I don't want Bad Luck's name under my record label any longer. You stain everything that is Nittle Grasper Studios. I was stupid to sign a contract with you in the first place. I didn't do it for you anyway..."
"Then who did you do it for? Yourself? I wouldn't be surprised if you did. Or were we just some kind of joke to you?" Tohma giggled a little, placing a gloved hand to his lips. Suuichi could feel the anger rising inside of his body. WAS this all a cruel joke?
"Of course I didn't do it for myself. If I were doing things for myself, I would have pushed you in front of that car rather then Taki Aizawa. ASK was much better from beginning. No, I did this for Sakano. He wanted so badly for you all to succeed, but now that he's gone, I don't see any reason to keep you around."
Tohma turned to walk away again, but Suuichi just couldn't let his dream die like that! "WAIT!" he screamed as Tohma stopped, but didn't turn back around. Suuichi took a few steps toward him and began to speak once again, "Sakano would still want us to succeed if he didn't leave to who knows where and-"
Suuichi never even saw Seguchi turn around. All he heard was the backside of Tohma's hand hitting his left check, sending him sprawling to the ground. The movement had send Seguchi's hat flying and Suuichi could barely see it landing through the tearing in his eyes. His face was already beginning to get blue and swollen. A little blood dripped from his face where Seguchi's ring had sliced him. Suuichi stared up at the manager. He was transformed into an angry beast. He walked up to Suuichi and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and raised him off the ground.
"This was ALL you're fault!" Seguchi screamed, pushing Suuichi to the ground, "YOU called Sakano last night, didn't you?" Before Suuichi could answer, Tohma's steel toed boot connected with the pink haired boy's fragile side. Suuichi cried out in pain, but they were too far away for Hiro or Fujisaki to hear and Nittle Grasper wasn't about to do anything.
"SEGUCHI-SAMA, PLEASE!!!" Suuichi screamed as Seguchi kicked him again.
"YOU CALLED HIM, DIDN'T YOU?! YOU TOLD HIM TO MEET K LAST NIGHT!!! YOU RUINED ALL OF MY PLANNING WITH THAT DAMNED PHONE CALL!!" he kicked the boy again, laughing as he began to cough up blood, "You ruined everything...I ALMOST HAD HIM LAST NIGHT!! I almost lived my fantasies...."
Suuichi's eyes widened as everything began to come together. Seguchi kicked him again, "Everything I did was pointless! I RUINED K'S FAMILY FOR HIM!!" This time Tohma got him in the face with the tip of his boot, blood spraying from his nose.
"You...you called Judy?" Suuichi said, his mouth filling with blood. He didn't want to cry but the pain was so horrible that it was hard not to.
"Of COURSE I called JUDY! WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE?!" Seguchi stopped beating him for a minute and laughed, crossing his arms, "It was genius. To bring K's dirty little secret here, or more or less bring his wife to the dirty little secret. It was working until you had to stick your nose in my business. Sakano and I were PERFECT together. I could give him the world!! And now what, Suuichi? Now you don't have a contract, a producer or a chance at a career. Plus, Sakano went to his sister's house and K is depressed. Good work. You've fucked things up for all of us. Enjoy the rest of your life."
Seguchi kicked the boy one last time before gracefully walking off to his office. Suuichi attempted to pick himself up, but it was no use. His nose and a few ribs HAD to be broken. He struggled for a few minutes, laid back down and struggled again and was able to get on his feet. He held on to the wall for support as he slowly made his way back to the room where his bandmates were. He didn't even remember the look they gave him when he stumbled in. All he remembered was collapsing in Hiro's arms and, in a raspy voice, saying, "Tohma Seguchi...loved Sakano. He called Judy."
He passed out from the pain shortly there after. K stared at him wide eyed and shaking. Tohma Seguchi destroyed his whole life...
WOO!!! Chappie nine is DOOOONNNNEEE!! So sorry, Suuichi fans for that lovely display of violence, but it had to be done. Um, so ya know, chapter 10 is NOT next. I've decided to go off on a side story for a chapter only focusing on Sakuma and what he did after he heard Seguchi beating Suuichi (ah yes, more Yaoi romance). So, be prepared for Chapter 9.5, I KNOW you will all enjoy it. Oh, and please review this chapter. Catch ya on the flip side.
