Kitsune Rouge
Act III: The Start Of the Rose Tower Affair
'It was all going well. Yomi had an investor. As the New years celebration party raged up stairs, I tried to write our unorthodox play. But all I could think of was him..'
Yusuke looked out the window of his apartment where he had a clear view of the rose tower. He tried find a glimpse of the red head in the darkness
"How wonderful life is...Now you're in the world." Yusuke sang softly into the night.
'Was he thinking about me?'
Inside the rose tower, Kurama sat in a mirror staring at his flawless image. He couldn't get the young writer off his mind. Over and over again, Yusuke's word played in his head. Duke? I'm not a duke. He wasn't trying to trick him or anything. It's about love...It's about love over coming all obstacles.
Kurama sighed and stood looking towards the balcony. What's this feeling I have? He thought. He's only a writer. I can't fall for him. He could ruin everything. If I know this then why can't I get him off my mind...Yusuke...
"I...follow the night." Kurama sang softly. "Can't stand the light. When will I begin to live again. One day I'll fly away. Leave all this to yesterday"
Kurama looked out towards Yusuke's apartment. He frowned slightly. Yusuke was there watching him with sad adoring eyes.
"What more can your love do for me? When will love be through with me. Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day when dreaming ends..."
Kurama turned away from the detective and began to walk up the side stairs of the rose. Yusuke watched while his heart fluttered at the sight of the Desert Rose.
"How wonderful life is Now you're in the world." Yusuke sang.
Kurama turned as he climbed the stairs and gave Yusuke's apartment a final look. To his disappointment the writer had disappeared from his apartment. Kurama continued on until he was at the top. Unknown to him, Yusuke was climbing up the back of the tower.
"One day I'll fly away, leave all this to yesterday. Why live life from dream to dream..." Kurama fell silent as he thought about his current situation. He lowered his voice to a whisper. "and dread the day when dreaming ends."
Kurama backed up and sat on the large decorated palette that was made for moonlight dinners.
"One day.I'll fly away...Fly, fly away.."
Yusuke sat behind him listening to the beautiful sound Kurama's voice made. He sighed in admiration. Kurama bolted up in fright and looked at Yusuke.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
"What are you doing up here?"
"I climbed up the-"
"What?"
"I couldn't sleep and I wanted to thank you for helping me get the job."
Kurama smiled. "oh yes, Hiei was right, you're...you're very talented. It's going to be a wonderful show. Anyway I better get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow."
Kurama turned to leave. Please just let me go. Please don't stop me. Please don't stop me. Kurama prayed. Please don't stop me. Please stop me! Wait no! I don't want him to stop me. Do I?
"Wait!"
Damn it.
"Wait.last night when we were.when you and I were together. You said you loved me.and I wanted to know.uh.."
"If it was just an act?" Kurama finished for him.
"Yes," Yusuke answered with hopeful eyes.
"Of course."
"Oh," Yusuke said slightly upset. "It just. it just felt real."
"Oh, Yusuke. I'm a courtesan. A toy. I'm paid to make men, women, and youkai alike believe what they want to believe."
"stupid Yusuke. Actually believing that someone as rare as you could ever love someone like me."
Kurama blushed and looked away. "No, Yusuke.I.I can't fall in love with anyone."
"Can't fall in love! That's screwed up!"
"No living life on the run, that's screwed up!"
"No! Love is a many splendid thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love...and a hi rei-ki but that's getting off subject."
"Number one that last part is true and number two what fucked up little world do you live in?"
"Nigenkai. Now all anyone needs is love! Come on, sing it with me Kurama." Yusuke said swinging around a pillar. "All you need is love."
"A person has to eat!"
"All you need is love."
"You're trying to put me on the street again aren't you?" Kurama said with a glare.
"All you need is Looooove!" Yusuke sang. (Konoko: and off key I might add. Yusuke: Fuck you!)
"Love is just a game!" Kurama sang back, smoothly brushing him off.
Yusuke, who was being stubborn swung around the pillar until he was infront of the fox.
"I was made for lovin' you baby. You were made for lovin me!" (Yusuke did I just say "Baby" Konoko: you're suppose to be singing damn it!)
Kurama rolled his eyes and walked past him, swishing his hips to tease the detective. "The only way of lovin' me, baby, is to pay a lovely fee!"
"Just one night. Give me just one night!"
"There's no way cause you can't pay!"
"True. But in the name of love! One night in the name of love!"
"You stupid fool! I won't give any to you!" (Konoko: It was suppose to say You crazy fool I won't give into you, Kurama! What the hell did you change it for. Kurama: Because it makes Yusuke look Pathetic. Konoko: and you're suppose to be the kind and caring one!)
Kurama began heading for the stairs again now that he got the obsessed detective out the way.
"Don't!" Yusuke said a little on the pitiful side.
Kurama stopped and looked back at him over his shoulder, his ruby red hair blocking the lower half of his face. Yusuke admired the pose with a love sick look on his face.
"Leave me this way..."
Kurama found himself blushing again. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
"I can't survive without your sweet love.Kurama..don't leave me this way."
Kurama turned completely around and walked past Yusuke to one of the petal shaped edges of the roof. He eyed the sleeping city with sad eyes.
"You'd think that people would've had enough of silly loves songs," he sang softly.
Yusuke walked up behind Kurama. "I look around me and I see that isn't so. Oh no."
Yusuke embraced Kurama while the fox looked back at him, their faces only inches apart.
"Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs..."
"Well, what's wrong with that," Yusuke sang drawing close. He was about to kiss the red head. "I'd like to know..."
Kurama began to lean in as well but quickly pulled away and mentally kicked himself in the rear for the close call. Yusuke rolled his eyes and gave a frustrated sigh.
"Cause here I go again!" Yusuke climbed onto the dangerous ledge and sang his idiotic heart out while Kurama , who was panicking, tried to get him down before he fell.
"Love lifts us up where we belong!" (Konoko: It's gone make yo' ass go splat on dat concrete too!) "Where the eagles fly! On a mountain high!"
Kurama jerked him down off the ledge and pulled Yusuke to him. "Love makes us act like we are fools!" Kurama pulled away and went finally to stairs. "Throw our lives away for one happy day!"
"Um.We could be heroes just for one day!"
Kurama looked back at him with narrowed eyes that screamed you-are- the-dumbest-person-I've-ever-met!!! But at the same time he thought about a life with Yusuke. The problem was his worse fears came to life in that thought.
"You..." Kurama sang. "You will be mean!"
"No I won't!"
"And I," Kurama sighed. "I'll drink all the time!"
"What for?" Yusuke asked following him. He made it to the bed room where Kurama was leaning on the balcony frame. "we should be lovers."
"We can't do that." Kurama sang softly not looking at Yusuke.
"We should be lovers and that's a fact!"
Kurama sighed and went face to face with Yusuke. "Though nothing will keep us together!" He argued.
"We could steal time."
Kurama and Yusuke: "Just for one day! We could be heroes forever and ever. We could be heroes forever and ever! We could be heroes!"
Yusuke: "Just because I will always love you."
Kurama: "and I...
Kurama and Yusuke: "Can't help loving.you."
They leaned in close to one another with their noses nearly touching. Kurama's glazed over green eyes bore into Yusuke chocolate brown ones and he smile contentedly.
"How wonderful life is.now your in.
Kur & Y: "The world."
Kurama leaned in to kiss Yusuke. "You're going to be bad for business, I can tell" he whispered giving Yusuke what he had worked so hard for that night. ( he worked hard too. With his no singin' ass)
Hiei sat on the railing of a window in Yusuke's apartment building. A pink feathery boa was wrapped lazily around him and his blood shot eyes told the story 12 Makai absinthes. He watched the new couple making out and toasted to them singing in a slurred voice. "Hooooow wondeeeerful liiiieeiiife is nooow your in the wooooooorld."
Adult Yusuke looked out the window once again imagining that night over again. He continued typing.
'how wonderful life was now that Kurama was in the world..but in Karasu, Yomi found more than he bargained.'
"The conversion of the Kitsune Rouge into a theater will cost a fantastic sum of money, yomi. So I require a contract that binds Kurama to me exclusively." Karasu explained coolly. "it's not that I'm a jealous youkai. It's just that I hate people touching things that belong to me."
"Of course. Kurama will be yours alone but he will be required to still perform for the customers-"
"NO!" Karasu interjected coldly. "I don't want any of those unworthy ningen men to even look at him in a filthy way. The Desert Rose belongs to me now and no one else."
Yomi nodded not wanting to blow the deal.
"Oh and I shall require some security as well. I demand the deeds to the Kitsune Rouge."
"Karasu I don't think-"
"Don't think I'm naïve Yomi. I wouldn't dare invest in this filth on the sake of a promise. I will hold the deeds to the Kitsune Rouge. If there are any violations of the rules I set down dealing with Kurama my servant Tuguro will show you a new method of negotiation. Understood, Yomi? I could take my business elsewhere you know."
"I understand completely, Karasu," Yomi replied as he signed the contract.
"Well, it seems you have the means to convert your beloved Kitsune Rouge into a theater. And tell Kurama I'll be expecting him to join me for dinner tonight."
A/N: okay that wasn't exactly long but it'll do cause I'm in a rush. Btw how'd you lie Karasu's possessiveness. I thought it would work for the twist I was going to add later. You wanna know? Well.............TO BAD YOU HAVE TO WAIT!!!!!! So anyway go to bathroom grab some popcorn take a nap and be ready for the next act Act IV: The Lovers Are Discovered! Until then, adieu!
