Disclaimer:If I do own POT this is what will happen XDDD

Summary: Dragging his two innocent friends (who aren't going to be so innocent anymore), Atobe takes Tezuka and Oishi to the Flower House where they are going to meet the famous 'Flower Sisters'

Author Notes: Just want to make a short section to answer the reviews. But first thing first, if there're any of you who thinks this is a fic where the bisshies are just screwing each other silly then you're partly right. However, it's not going to be that simple. As figured out by kitty, everyone has their own history how he/she ends up like that. And yes, I will reveal all of them one by one along with the story and as for the pairing, there'd be tons of them, so your fave pairs might be here too, so just stay tune ne The question about Nanjiroh from meh, the percentage of him being a whore is SO low. I might even say he's the one who was looking for whores. However, the brief introduction about Ryoma's past wasn't as simple as it seemed. As you all know will know why in later chapters. I might even say Ryoma is the one who has the darkest past here.

Also thanks to Yanagi and Keeper of The Light, I'm trying my best to keep each character the least OOC because it'd be more fun like that. The idea of Hanamura as the pimp came from when she was blushing like crazy upon seeing many bisshies around her. So, I thought that role will suit her well XD Honestly, I didn't know where I took Eiji's restlessness either. Probably I'm reading YAOI Doujinshi too much. Tehehehe…

As for the inspiration, it is the real life itself which is happening in many countries in this world; however the Flower Sisters came from R.O.D. TV (yup the Paper Sisters). Hope that answered your question Kamikakushi  and I've done some search for this Love Mode manga and was quiet shocked when I found my fic is similar with it. I'd really love to read it though.

About the requested pairings have been added to the list, ai-chan, you're right probably I read Memoir of Geisha too much. Red-Planet31, your requested pairings have changed this story quite significantly. But it's not something bad even will make this fic more interesting. And lastly for Medu, dimonyo-anghel, Gia, RuByMoOn17, yoshikochan glad that you all like this story, and here's the update.

Pairing(s): ToriShishi, OshiShishi, AtoShishi, OshiGaku, SakakiJirou, RyoDan, AtoJi, XRyo, and AtoFuji (plenty isn't it XD)

Rating: PG (sorry for that) I knew I promised lemon(s) in this chapter but I got a computer crash and this is a rewrite version which was quite different from the previous one; though still I hope you all will like it. There WILL be lemon(s) on next chapter as they finally met. ENJOY!

"…" talk italic – thought /…/ flashback

Though burnt by the flame of love
Never will I let myself fly to the sky above
Let this pain be a precious lesson
Thus I will always remember my reason

Chapter 1 - Welcome to Flower House

"Ano, Atobe-san. What is this Flower House again?" Oishi asked Atobe from a seat in front of him for the hundredth time already ever since the diva announced that they were going out tonight. Atobe rubbed his temple, Oishi was a very nice man by nature however it came with a package of excessive amount of unnecessary wariness. How come his best friend could stand Oishi was a mystery for Atobe.

"You will know momentarily, Oishi," was the same reply from Atobe. Same answer for the same question.

"But…"

"Sit down and be quiet, Oishi," snapped Tezuka finally which immediately was obeyed by Oishi, and Atobe never ever felt grateful before for having Tezuka as a friend. It seemed that he also couldn't take any of Oishi's rant anymore. The bespectacled man was resting his head against the chariot comfy cushion which was carrying them to their destination.

Each passenger was drowned in their own thought as the journey FINALLY spent in silence. Atobe almost couldn't hold back his growing arousal as the image of a naked and ready Blue Orchid sprawled over in a bed, waiting for him to join in. Meanwhile, Oishi was still wondering where they were going to tonight since his parents told him to know every place he was heading to first, for his safety and all. And Tezuka was still pissed since his pleasurable fishing time was interrupted just for going to this place Atobe had been bragging about. Ever since he spotted a very nice and big lake around Atobe's mansion, he has spent a great amount of time there which of course got criticized by Atobe. What is so great about this stupid house anyway?

What Tezuka didn't know, everything was great in there. And soon, he'd find it out.

"Now, Ryoma, remember what I've told you for tonight!" said Fuji seriously, a pair of piercing blue eyes met golden ones.

"Wakkateru," replied the younger one lazily, "No harassing, no insulting, and no bitch-slapping the customer even though he or she is a very annoying, old, and ugly one."

"And no leaving them before the business is done," pressed Fuji again.

"Yeah, that too." Shit, Fuji doesn't forget about that.

"Ryoma."

"Hai… Hai…"

"Hoi, are you guys ready, nya?" Eiji's head popped in the doorway before approaching the other two.

"Eiji, how many times I have told you not to say 'hoi' or 'nya'? You will be ruining your image in front of your customer."

The redhead scratched his head, grinning sheepishly, "Gomen, Fuji. It's just I'm worried NYA…" Eiji clamped his hands too his mouth because of that.

Fuji sighed, "Worried of what?"

"Er…" Eiji's cute lips curled as he was looking back and forth at Ryoma and Fuji, seemed afraid of something. But Fuji wasn't a tensai for nothing.

"What did you tell Eiji, Ryoma?" Fuji turned to the boy who was combing his shiny dark blue hair in front of a mirror before clipping a hairpin onto it (A/N: Aw, kawaii).

"Betsuni," shrugged Ryoma easily though not looking at either Fuji or Eiji.

And Eiji wailed, "Uwa, Ochibi's lying," then launching himself to the said boy before shaking the hell out of him, "Tell him, tell Fuji that you told me that Oshitari-san is coming tonight and might be looking for me nya…"

Silence.

"You already said it, Eiji-senpai," gruntled Ryoma, "Now, let me go."

"So, that's what you've been worrying about, Eiji?" asked Fuji, smiling gently. He knew Eiji would be even worse if he handled him improperly at time like this. Approaching the sweating boy in a red and orange kimono (A/N: Kawai), Fuji added soothingly, "Daijobu, I'll make sure Kei-chan tells him to stay away from you."

Big blue eyes shone with hope, "Hontoni, Fuji?"

Fuji flashed Eiji his trademark smile, making the redhead jumped in happiness and hugged him tightly, "Sankyuu, Fuji. You're the best."

Fuji chuckled, "No problem, Eiji."

"Yeah right. How about if he tries his way through 'mother'?" Ryoma interrupted the happy moment and Eiji was panicked again.

"RYOMA!" warned Fuji, "You know Eiji has a tendency to be like this if he's worried."

"I'm not doing this to worry Eiji-sempai. Just to remind him that not everything in this world will go like the way we want easily. I thought you already understand that well…"

The older two went quiet because of this as a long silence was in the air, only the soft sound of combing was heard.

Fuji sighed, "You're right, Ryoma. But you must also remember it doesn't hurt to try and to hope."

Ryoma stopped his activity, staring at the mirror in front of him blankly, unaware that his two 'brothers' had left his room.

/You're so pretty… Just like your mother./

/He's perfect for this, isn't he/

/I'm sorry but I can't be with you anymore, Ryoma/

It doesn't hurt to try and to hope, Ryoma smiled sadly. That suits you perfectly, Fuji. A single tear escaped those beautiful golden orbs which now were darkened with sadness. But not me…

Four men were standing in front of a very large building which could be mistaken as a government office if it wasn't because of the blinding light and elaborated design from the said building where its stone wall was painted with flowers in various colors and kinds. Right after Atobe, Tezuka, and Oishi entered the main gate, they were escorted by a tall and thin man with light blue hair which pressed tightly into his head with a weird cut.

Later, he introduced himself as Shinjou Reiji, "Please, follow me. Hanamura-sensei has been waiting for you."

Atobe snorted mentally, sensei. That woman was just a sick pedophile who only knew about sex. What did she teach? Sex education. However, he motioned his reluctant friends to follow their guide.

As they had entered the main door which led them inside the house, Shinjou bowed at them, "Please make yourself at home, gentlemen. I'll inform sensei that you all are here. Excuse me." And he left.

Inside was even more overwhelming for Oishi, exaggerating for Tezuka, and enjoyable for Atobe as the diva saw few of his previous bed-mates lounging around on the main hall, most of them were occupied already. Jirou was sleeping on Sakaki Tarou's lap while the much older man was still trying to wake the curly haired blonde up. They just nodded curtly at each other when their eyes met. They were professional enough not to mix business and personal issues. Then Sakaki was back to his 'work' again. Atobe felt pity for the commissioner; Jirou wasn't easy to deal with. Pretty but the bad thing, he was a narcoleptic. If only Kabaji was not waiting in the employee's chamber (a place for customer's servant to wait and rest while their master was staying at Flower House), he might lend him to Sakaki. Then again, Sakaki wouldn't want to have Kabaji in the same room when he was bedding with Jirou. That was why Atobe stopped seeing Jirou after several times.

Then Atobe turned his attention to two men who were sitting on the far side of the hall, and he smirked when he saw Shishido was holding back from smacking Oshitari right on the head with his Geta (1). No wonder, Atobe thought, no Ohtori and Gakuto in sight.

Yes, Shishido once was with Atobe for a few months before he found out that Ohtori Choutarou was obsessed with 'Violet' (2) of the Flower House so he 'gave' the long haired beauty to his man. Ohtori was the most trusted accountant in his company, the younger man would never ever give him fake financial reports, not only because he was too good for his occupation but also his family has been working for Atobes for years. And it was all worth it since Atobe now was having a better relationship with the Ohtori's heir. Speak of the devil.

"Shishido-san, gomen. I'm late. I was having a hard time to get out from the office because…"

"It's about time, Choutarou," cut Shishido grumpily then got up from the comfy couch.

"Are you angry, Shishido-san?"

"He's just in a rather bad-mood, Ohtori-kun," teased a deep rich voice.

"Ah, Oshitari-san, gomen-nasai, I didn't greet you earlier," the taller man bowed to his superior.

"Iie, it's not something big, Ohtori-kun," the sly man pushed his glasses up and winked seductively at Ohtori, earning a death glare from Shishido and a deep red Ohtori.

"Er… I… a-arigato, Oshitari-san," stuttered Ohtori since now Oshitari was flashing him his killer smile. Shisido glared the deadliest at the blue haired man.

"Come on, Choutarou," Shishido grabbed his most favorite 'customer' by the wrist, "We're leaving."

"Ah, shitsurei shimasu, Oshitari-san."

"Ma… ma… getting hot already, Shishido?"

Shishido growled. Fortunately, Gakuto came in the right time, "YUSHIIII…" and attached himself to the much taller man, so Atobe didn't have to step in between them in order to prevent his assistant got killed by a whore. That would be a very big issue even in Tokyo, and Atobe didn't want that kind of publicity. "I'm so sorry MY darling. I was preparing myself for tonight. I want everything to be perfect for you."

"Let's go, Chotarou," Shishido sneered.

"I'm touched, MY Gakuto," answered Oshitari with a smirk which Gakuto always interpreted as a sexy one, making the bendy redhead squealed.

"Who is that?" Tezuka asked in slight astonishment while watching the two lover bird sucking and biting each other mouth lustfully.

"Oh, he's Oshitari Yuushi, my assistant."

"No, the other one," he directed his eyes to the redhead who was still clinging to Oshitari.

Atobe smirked, who said Tezuka wasn't a gossiping type. Well, probably not as poking-your-nose-into-everyone's-business like Blue Orchid, Tezuka was simply a curios one.

"Mukahi Gakuto, a loud jumpy redhead, perfect for having fun but not the one you want to meet your parents."

Tezuka raised an eyebrow, now he was more confused upon Atobe's answer but he decided to drop the issue, "Aa." He thought he didn't want to know what those two were going to do. Suddenly, he started feeling nervous for being there.

"Ne, ne Tezuka. What are we doing here?" Oishi tugged on Tezuka's left sleeve, completely aware of all the predatory stares which were directed to him.

"Atobe," whispered Tezuka, face still void of expression despite the growing anxiousness within.

That was true, ever since they came inside the Flower House, all of the participants there seemed very eager on the two newbie. Whispers and seductive looks were thrown at them from the entire Flower House's resident.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare to touch you as long as you're with Ore-sama. They know their place," said Atobe arrogantly.

"Ah… Atobe-kun." Suddenly, a woman on her late twenties came to them after making her way through the sea of beautiful boys around her. She was wearing a bright red kimono with a very unnecessary part of her body exposed, "Are they… your friends?" Tezuka was ignoring a naughty smile that the bespectacled woman gave him

"Hanamura-san," Atobe nodded his head curtly, "I thought I've told you how to address me."

"Hohoho… I forgot. Forgive my rudeness, Atobe-sama," Hanamura said in a slight flirty tone.

Atobe snorted but then decide to drop the issue, "So, are they ready yet? You know Ore-sama don't like waiting."

"They are almost done, Atobe-sama. Ehem. Please follow me, gentlemen," she turned around gracefully and their previous guide was following her as well. As they were making their way towards the stairs, heated rumors were in the air.

"Hey, have you heard that the Flower Sisters are going to perform tonight?"

"Really? All of them at once?"

"Yeah, someone has booked them for tonight."

A whistle, "That guy whoever he is, he must be filthy rich!"

"Do you know who is he?"

"No, I don't"

"I heard, it's Atobe Keigo."

"Atobe Keigo? No wonder…"

"Yeah, that makes sense. He's the only who could do that."

Oshitari who heard the rumors floating around, frowned mentally. Damn! Why did I reject Atobe's offer that time? I didn't know that he's succeeded on wooing not only Red Lily but also Golden Rose as well. Gakuto was snuggling to his chest while Oshitari stroking his hair absent-mindedly, Hm… I must talk about this with Atobe, I really want to taste the intoxicating Red Lily. He smirked inwardly.

The three men were escorted through many hallways and turns, though from the outside the building looked pretty simple but in the inside it was full of complicated and similar paths. As they were getting closer and closer to their destination, sounds around them ceased even more. At first, there were loud chatters and muffled sounds came from rooms either on their right side or left side. Tezuka was growing anxious and nervous even more, now he was starting to be like Oishi. And when finally, Hanamura made her stop they were in a quiet dark hallway with only dim light of candles guiding them. And she was reaching out her hand to the right then slid something opened. Apparently, that was a door, and the rest of them followed the only woman on the group. It was a quite big room around three times bigger than the usual bedroom at that time (don't compare with Atobe's). There were also fine furniture, huge cushions, and beautiful flower arrangements inside, and it was brighter than the hallway.

"Have fun, gentlemen. Ehem," Hanamura chuckled mysteriously as she closed the door behind her, making Tezuka twitched and Oishi became more nervous.

"Welcome to Flower House desu," bowed a boy in a palm green kimono. He has dark hair with quite long bangs covering both sides of his face, "My name is Dan Taichi desu. And I'll be your assistant to Flower Sisters desu. Please wait here desu as they will come in any moment desu. Now please excuse me for a while desu, I'll be right back desu."

They just noticed there was someone else inside. Oishi blinked as the boy left them through a door on the other side of the room. That boy just said a long sentence without any stops.

Atobe seated himself comfortably on one of the huge cushions where in front of him was a black mahogany table. The other two were still standing, definitely unsure with what they have to do.

Ryoma was walking behind Eiji with Fuji in the front to the North Wing of the Flower House where their 'work' would be done. That wing was special for Flower Sisters every time any of them got customers. And tonight was even more special as Atobe had booked the entire wing for him and his friends. Apparently, either the narcissist wanted to show how rich he was or he didn't want to be disturbed as usual. He was still remember, he got banned from entering his own fucking room just because the Monkey King was coupling with Fuji (2). And they were just too damn horny to reach Fuji's room a few meters away from his. Ryoma really wanted to kill them both. If it wasn't because of Eiji, Shishido, and Kamio holding his arms and legs, he'd wring the Monkey King's neck for sure.

"You look nice, Ochibi," whispered Eiji.

"Domo."

"Hoh, that looks expensive," said Eiji again as he touched the material Ryoma was wearing/

"I don't know, why don't you ask Fuji? He gave me yesterday."

"Really? You can afford it, Fuji?"

"Saa… that's because I'm nice with my customers, my dear brothers. I wonder why you refuse most of the requests from your customers, Ryoma."

"I'm not a sex maniac like someone."

"Better than a nekophile(3)."

"HEY!"

"Guys, we're here," Eiji said and waved energetically to Dan who was standing in front of a door not far from them, stopping the two from insulting each other more. Upon seeing them, the black haired boy approached the Flowers Sister before bowing deeply.

"E-Echizen-sama desu," he turned to Golden Rose and Ryoma cringed, that name really reminded him of the past, a part of him that he really hated up till now and wanted to forget desperately.

"Taichii, I told you to call me Ryoma or whatever, except not that one."

"Ah, go-gomen desu," the shorter one looked down in embarrassment, "I-I just want to say thank you for last week desu (4)."

"Hn."

"For what, Ochibi?" asked Eiji curiously.

"Are they here?" interrupted Fuji on the right time as usual.

"Hai, desu."

"Excellent work, Dan-kun," Fuji patted the shorter boy's head lovingly, making the said boy blushed heavily, "Now, can you inform the kitchen to start the meal?"

"Hai, desu. I'll be off then desu."

"Sankyuu, Ochibi number two."

"What do you mean by that, Eiji-sempai?"

"Hehehe… you're the Ochibi number one, Ryoma."

"Whatever," Ryoma said then slipped in between Fuji and Eiji, ignoring the redhead's complaint about the youngest must be the last in line, as Fuji opened the sliding door.

Ryoma took a deep breath. Here we go…

Wakateru – I understand
Gomen – sorry
Betsuni – Nothing
Daijobu – Don't worry
Shitshurei Shimasu – Goodbye (in a more polite way)

A/N continues: And for those who are unfamiliar with Banji, he is Yamabuki coach who somehow knows Nanjiroh and of course Ryoma's past but that'd be a secret which I will reveal WAY later. Is there any of you who are confused with the roles? Since a friend of mine thought the ukes were selling flowers (sigh). NO they're all sluts and Hanamura is the pimp. I hope that clarify things.

(1) Japanese wooden sandal
(2) Shishido's nickname
(3) This will be explained on AtoFujiRyo side story.
(4) This will be explained on RyomaDan side story, Little Comfort (refer to ch 1 too) and Eiji doesn't know about Ryoma and Dan (wink)
(5) This will be explained on FujiRyo side story, Sweet Dreams.

Request on pairings is still opened. Is there any of the pairing that you want me to write a side story for them but the rating won't go more than PG-13. And lastly, don't forget to review (they are energy booster really) and tell me what you think about this chapter (crossing her fingers)
