Touya sighed, walking out of the recording studio. At least he didn't have to worry about his mask in there. But singing the same few songs over and over again so that they could later select which one was best got monotonous rather quickly. ((For the record, I have no idea about the recording process, so I'm pretty much winging it, going by what seems to make sense and all))
Yusuke came over and patted Touya on the back. "So... you seem a little off kilter. Something wrong?"
Touya shrugged. "Same song... maybe ten times... little bored."
Yusuke laughed, "You want something new, write another song!"
Yusuke had been joking, but Touya decided that was a good idea all the same. "Thanks Yusuke!" Touya hugged Yusuke real quick; then ran off to find paper and a pencil.
"Ah, how sweet. Yusuke's getting soft for his little boy-toy!" Kuwabara leered over Yusuke.
"What are you talking about? He's no boy-toy, and I don't like you disrespecting him." Yusuke growled.
"Aw, come on, your nickname for him is TOY-chan! He always does whatever you say; whatever makes you happy. And I KNOW you guys share more than a room. Shortie here's got good ears, and a good nose. I'll bet he was watching through the vent shafts too, drooling over you two!" Yusuke was getting madder with each word, and when Kuwabara mentioned Hiei ogling over Yusuke and Touya, both Yusuke and Hiei snapped.
"You Fucking moron, teach you to disrespect me and Touya!"
"I do NOT want to see Touya OR Yusuke naked! I only moved OUT when I realized they'd had sex!"
"Touya is not just a toy, and if you insult him again I'll tear out your tongue; it'd make for some welcome silence!"
"The thought of them together just creeps me out, I would never watch that, and I wasn't happy about hearing it – or smelling it – either!"
"Gah, okay guys! Back off! I was just kidding!"
About 15 minutes later Touya walked back in the room, took one look, shook his head, and sat down to start writing.
"Umm... Guys... YO, Crystal Tears!" one of the workers tried to stop the ruckus that was Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. Touya, noticing the worker half in tears trying to decide what to do, whether he had to step in that most unpleasant mosh pit and pull them apart, stood up.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Boss wants ta' talk you four about the tour... Is that red-headed guy gonna be okay?" the worker looked queasy, at all the blood Kuwabara lost and the blows he was taking.
"Him? Yeah. They're never very happy about him. Sometimes I wonder if we'll last long as a band if they keep beating him up." Touya sighed. "In the mean time... Yusuke! Hold up." Touya laid a hand on Yusuke's shoulder and Yusuke glanced up, halfway through strangling Kuwabara while Hiei kicked at him some more. Touya sighed. "Let him go, this guy says the boss wants to talk to us about the tour." Yusuke dropped Kuwabara in a heartbeat, running over to the worker.
"Come on you guys, let's go!" Yusuke called. The worker looked frightened. Hiei kicked Kuwabara one more time.
"Hn." Hiei then followed Yusuke, Touya, and the worker. Kuwabara eventually stumbled over too.
"Then it's settled: You'll tour with K.O.D. this fall. Six months on the road, punking every turn of the wheel, eh, boys?" The boss ((producer? director? Who would be in charge of that kind of thing?)) said, and the four nodded eagerly. "Well, then, I guess we'll see you back, same day, same time, next week, right?"
"Yup!" was Yusuke's enthralled affirmative. The four of them, Crystal Tears, left, Hiei flitting off God knows where, Kuwabara getting a ride from his sister Shizuru to see Yukina, and Yusuke driving himself and Touya to his house on his motorcycle.
