things are going to go down hill from here. Please read and review and tell
me what you think should happen next.
Chapter Sixteen: The Telephone Game
"No, Sakano," Seguchi said, looking over the files. He saw the producer jump in surprise. He had been so sure that his sleeping with his manager would guarantee a spot for Bad Luck in the Tokyo Bay Music Festival. Seguchi didn't think that Sakano was satisfactory in bed. He was squirmy and he screamed out K's name on a few occasions. He admitted to hitting him, it felt good to hit him. He never said K's name again after that. The bruises on his face were healing nicely though. He was healing a lot faster the Shindou Shuichi. His face was still swollen and caked with scabs. Good, he shouldn't have gotten involved.
"W-w-w-what do you mean, no?" Sakano said as Tohma stood and walked around his desk to face Sakano, "I thought that they did wonderful. Everyone else, even the representative thought they did extraordinary and-
"And they did do extraordinary. But in the end, you'll need MY recommendation in order to get Bad Luck a spot. Hmm...I suppose I COULD just give you the recommendation..." He slipped his fingers in between Sakano's pants and belt and pulled him closer, beginning to unclasp the belt as he continued to speak to Sakano, "Or we could-"
"Don't tease me," Sakano said, feeling so vulnerable and tarnished. He felt dirty for having to obey Seguchi, but he felt dirtier for the spark of excitement coming to life inside him, "It's cruel."
Tohma Seguchi grinned as he let Sakano go, walking over to his windows and shutting the blinds so no one could see in. He sulked back to his blue haired slave and smacked him hard against the cheek that was already bruised. Sakano fell hard to the sofa, the air leaving his lungs as Tohma pounced on his back, moving Sakano's face gently so as to see the now reddened area of his face.
"W-w-w-why do you hit me?" Sakano said as Tohma giggled a little.
"Because I want to," Seguchi kissed Sakano roughly, making him gasp with pain and pleasure, "and I always do what I want."
* * *
"Hmm?" Noriko said as Sakuma smiled a HUGE smile, hugging his stuffed bunny. He was ecstatic about the revelation that he had just made. For the longest time, Tohma had told Sakuma that he would give anything to be with Sakano and Sakuma always felt so terrible that Sakano didn't return his affections. But when he went up to the office to visit Tohma, he happened to overhear a conversation about the Tokyo Bay Music Festival and teasing. He heard a slap, but he really didn't give it another thought. Then he heard the kissing sounds and remembered the sounds that he made when he "played" with Tatsuha. He wanted to keep it to himself,, but he just couldn't! It was so exciting! Tohma would finally get to experience the happiness that he and Noriko felt.
"YES! Tohma and Sakano-san 'played' together! I HEARD them, I'm not even making it up, Noriko! I was so excited, and I wasn't going to tell, but I was TOO excited to keep it to myself!! And then I thought that he wouldn't mind if I told you! Because you are just as close to Tohma as I am!" Sakuma smiled really big, "I guess that means the K and Sakano aren't a couple anymore. That's too bad, but at least Tohma will get his chance at love!" He hugged his bunny, a light blush sweeping his face, "I finally got a hold of Tatsuha. He had been out of town. I guess he forgot to tell me. Maybe I can see him tonight? I really like him and..."
She had stopped listening to him a while ago. Noriko now had a terrible choice to make. She loved Tohma, she really did...but over the years, she had become close friends with Mika, Tohma's wife. It was fun to have guy friends, but sometimes it was nice to talk to another girl. She now had the weight on her shoulders. Did she keep Tohma's secret? Or did she tell Mika of Tohma's affair with Sakano? It wasn't an easy decision, but in the end, she would have to make the choice.
* * *
Mika sat alone in her home, waiting for Tohma to call. He had been acting so incredibly strange lately. Not only to her, but to everyone around him. He had even stopped visiting her brother, which was abnormally odd. For years, she had thought that the only reason Tohma married her was to get at her brother, but now...now he couldn't give Yuki the time of day. And then there was the scandal involving Bad Luck and their Producer. It was weird. Everything was weird.
She stared at the phone and thought of calling her husband, but then rethought the idea. He would think that she was spying on him and then they would get into a huge argument and that was never any fun. She had been so lonely for a long time now, finding comfort in her brother and the little boy who loved him. She knew that Yuki didn't want her around and she knew that Shuichi didn't really appreciate it either, but when loneliness struck, people did drastic things.
She took a swig of the martini in her hand and sighed, resting her head on her arms. Tohma was supposed to home soon, but she knew better then to wait for him. He rarely even came home. She could go days without seeing his smiling face. He was always out with someone and she could never hold on to him for more then a second. She thought that maybe he was being unfaithful? No, he would never do that.
Her telephone rang and it startled her from her thoughts. She hoped that it was her Tohma, but it of course, was not.
"Moshi moshi? Oh, Noriko. How have you been?" She fell silent, "He what?"
* * *
"I-I-I-I-I don't k-know what to do, Yuki! How could he cheat on me like that?! I mean, I thought that we at least cared enough for each other that if one of us were unhappy that we would talk it out rather then go off and sleep with some producer!?"
That caught Yuki's interest. Producer? Could he possibly be sleeping with Sakano? That WOULD make things more interesting, wouldn't it? He looked up at his sister. She was so broken and hurt, but Yuki didn't feel sorry for her. Tohma Seguchi didn't exactly seem like the type to stay faithful for very long. Yuki even found it hard to believe that he married Mika. He KNEW that Seguchi was gay. The way he dressed was a dead give away if nothing else. He also had a hunch that Tohma liked Sakano much more then just an employee. In fact, he thought that Tohma hired Sakano as Nittle Grasper's manager seven years prior simply because of how much he liked him.
"Should I leave him, Yuki? And if I do, where do I go? I'll have no money and no job and-"
"Do what makes you happy. If you cannot live with the fact that Sakano is sleeping with Tohma then talk to Sakano...or talk to Tohma. I would do it for you, but I might hit him. For what he did to Shuichi, I cannot forgive him."
Right at that moment, Shuichi came barreling in the room, shouting Yuki's name at pitches that not even canines could hear. Yuki twitched a little as the pink haired annoyance flew into his lap and snuggled up against him.
"OH YUKI!!" He planted a big, wet kiss right on Yuki's scowling lips. No matter how much pain he was in, kissing Yuki always made him feel better. Yuki was about to push him off, but the feeling of having Shuichi back in his arms was too much for him, no matter how much he hated to admit it. He was so enthralled by the return of his lover that he didn't even see his sister leave.
* * *
"Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed and not sending me back to the hospital," Shuichi said as Yuki grunted in response, "Oh...and by the way. If you don't mind my asking...why was Mika here today? She looked sad."
Yuki was trying his best to get some sleep, but he knew that Shuichi wasn't going to let him rest. He didn't normally mind, but he was abnormally tired for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that he had spent the last few nights worrying about the stupid kid? He turned over and faced Shuichi, making him blush.
"If I tell you, will you let me go to sleep?" Shuichi nodded hysterically, "Fine. Tohma Seguchi has been cheating my sister. It is that simple, okay? I mean, we all knew he'd do it sooner or later, but she is still really upset. That's all I'm telling you because it really isn't any of your business. Stay out of it, Shuichi. You know first hand how dangerous Tohma can be when he gets angry and I am pretty sure that he would be plenty angry if word of his affair slipped out."
Shuichi nodded and kissed Yuki goodnight. He tossed and turned and rolled and snuggled, but he couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he turned on the lights and Yuki began to cringe against the brightness. WHY couldn't he live a normal life with a normal nights sleep? Shuichi shook Yuki a little and his eyes got all watery.
"I'll sleep better if I know who Tohma had the affair with, ya know?"
Yuki sighed and decided that he would never sleep again if he didn't tell the little brat, "Whatever, Tohma is sleeping with..."
* * *
"Sakano?" Hiro said, scratching his head, "Well, I'm not too surprised. They were destined to become a couple sooner or later. I guess he's just rebounding. He has a right to, I suppose."
Hiro and Fujisaki decided to stay late and practice a little while longer and K agreed since he really had no place to be besides his empty home. He had no idea where Sakano was and he planned on calling him to come over, but then threw the idea out the window. It was too soon, Sakano would need time to think. Shuichi had called Hiro's home and when he didn't answer, knew he must still be rehearsing.
"I know, but I REALLY wanted K and Sakano to get back together, ya know? They were so cute together. It almost seemed like their extreme personalities canceled each other out. They were both so calm together. I guess Seguchi and Sakano will make a good couple, but I would still like to see Sakano and K back together again."
Hiro laughed, "Yeah, I guess so. I wonder if K knows about it yet? Probably not, it would be another point to add to his list of reasons to kill Tohma, wouldn't it?"
"Definitely. Ah well, Sakano is free to love whomever he wants and...Oh, I have to go Hiro. Yuki is getting mad; he wants to sleep. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning, okay? Good Night."''
"Good night, Shuichi." Hiro hung his phone up right as Fujisaki walked into the room carrying a pile of sheet music. He had overheard only a part of the conversation. Actually, all he heard was that Hiro was talking to Shuichi. It was way past Shuichi's bedtime. What was he doing, calling them so late?
"What Did Shindou want?" Fujisaki asked as Hiro smiled a little.
"He wanted to share a small piece of gossip. Supposedly, Sakano and Tohma have been sleeping together and-"
"Who told you that?" Both Fujisaki and Hiro turned to the doorway to see K standing in it, his whole body shaking. He turned to leave and Hiro bowed his head in shame. Things were finally getting back to normal within NG studios and now they were ruined because of him. If he could have just kept the secret, things would have been fine, but he didn't and now K was off to do...something and no body knew what.
YAY! Chapter 16 is so done!! I have nothing to say besides review and brace yourselves for chapter 17. Some of the Tohma evilness is now on the head of someone else. Ciao all!!
