Chapter Five:
Answer me this…
Buzzing from the fluorescent lights that lit the long hall of the hospital was the only sound heard for a long amount of time. The members of Bad Luck along with their manager, producer, and label mates of Nittle Grasper- minus a blond keyboardist, waited patiently to hear news of their friend. Not a soul had much to say out loud, all lost in thoughts and prayers for the young artist. Even Ryuichi was out of his playful state wrapped up in worried feelings for the 'kid'.
"Where is Mr. Seguchi?" Ryuichi voiced from the hush. It was as if the question had sprung everyone from a meditative condition into conjoined confusion.
"Um, Well…" Noriko rubbed her dry itchy eyes caused by not blinking for a large amount of time. "That's a good question, Ryu-kun. He would've been the first here.'
"You would think." K said, scratching his chin. "Something's up. I need to investigate" He threw a glance at the nurses' station. "Hiroshi, I have an idea. Come with me."
The two attractive men walked the distance toward the desk and K explained his plan. When they had finally made it to the large marble island, Hiro leaned up against the counter with a seductive smile.
"Excuse me; do you think you could… assist me?" He winked.
K took this time to wonder towards the restricted area where he assumed Fujisaki's room was hidden. As he had guessed there was a guard standing outside the door of a room at the far end of the hall. As soon as the watchdog made for the bathroom, K ceased the opportunity to peek through the window of the door.
"Mika is here….but Tohma isn't?" he blinked examining the scene. He watched as Mika stood from her seat next to the hospital bed of his young client. When she leaned down to kiss him, everything started clicking into place. All the mood swings, Tohma's odd behavior as of late and the late practice sessions suggested by Fujisaki made since now. The keyboardist had drastically changed over the past couple of months and that kiss had just confirmed all of it. The kiss that lasted longer than a normal well wished sentiment. The way she looked at his still body caressing his pale skin lovingly. He had seen enough.
With this new piece of explanatory information, K returned to the nurses' station where Hiro had successfully distracted the attending nurses, even the one male nurse.
"So, Keiko.." He ran his hands through his hair casually and locked eyes with a young lady who looked to be on her last breath with excitement because of his attention. "When should I call you?"
"Anytime.." She stammered. "Anytime is fine with me. Hell, you can call me rightnow.." She blushed then realizing how desperate she sounded. K grinned; there was a visible string of drool in the corner of the male nurse's mouth. Chuckling lightly and deciding that Hiro was the perfect distraction who would probably benefit from assisting him in his other schemes, K made his presence known. "We need to be getting back, Hiroshi"
With relief, Hiro nodded in agreement sending 'later' to the stunned girl after he licked his lips then turned to walk away with the other god with the golden hair… and the gun?
"What did you find out?" Hiro asked when they were a reasonable distance.
"Not here" K spoke lowly as they approach the rest of them. Questions were what the rest of the groups eyes held but Noriko was the first to voice the main one.
"What is really going on?"
"This doesn't seem like the best place to release that particular information. Has the doctor been by?" K said leaning against the wall.
Ryuichi spoke now void of his bubbly cheerfulness. "Yes, but being that we are not blood relatives the only thing that he could tell us was that he's been slipping in and out of consciousness."
Shuichi fiddled with his empty water bottle. "Said we might as well go home and cone back tomorrow to see if he has improved."
"Then we should head back to N-G. " K stated walking towards the hospital exit.
"You still expect us to practice," Shuichi growled with anger.
K froze "Of course not, you don't think that I'm that much of a heartless bastard, do you?"
'Sorry, I'm just-"Shuichi deflated
"Worried, scared, believe me I understand. But I'd rather we discuss my findings in a sound proof space…. Hence my suggestion to go to the studio" The rest of the assembled N-G employee's gathered their things and followed the gun totting manager to the parking lot where they rode to the studio in the cars that they came in.
He was out of cigarettes and ideas so he shut down his computer leaning back in his office chair. Yuki unconsciously picked up his litter, flicking it's trigger to watch the flame Seeing that his pink lover had left him so extremely high and dry that very morning he had decided to continue to stay naked for the rest of the day, so that he would be ready to ware that idiot out right when he bounced his happy little ass through that front door.
No one leaves Yuki, Eiri unsatisfied.
The door bell rang and he dropped the litter on his desk. "I finally give the baka a key…" He mumbled under his breath as he stormed to the door. "You'd think that he'd learn to keep it on him by now…"
"You've got to be kidding…"
"Poor Mr. Seguchi"
"Are you sure?"
The only person that didn't have a single objection was Ryuichi who sat with his back against the wall next to the gigantic picture window. "I should've known" He said quietly. The rest of the occupants of the room turned their attention to the star with curious eyes.
"What are you talking about Ryu-kun? Should've known what?" Noriko walked over and sat next to her best friend.
"Should've seen it coming." He pulled his knees up to his chest and rapped his arms around them. "His eyes, they had changed. I noticed that they weren't the regular aqua. They were red…. He'd been crying."
Shuichi laid his head back on the couch as Hiro took a seat next to him. Mr. Sakano had just hung up the phone and turned to address the rest of the gang. "He's still not answering his phone… I'm beginning to get a little worried. With out Mr. Seguchi, what are we gonna do about the album…. And the tour dates…. And what about N-G Pro… "Sakano began to ramble on with tears in his panicked eyes. Shots were fired and when K had returned his gun to it's hustler he sat down again, picking up his green tea. " Tohma will be fine."
"Yea, and I know just where he is…" Shuichi stated flatly.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Yuki said annoyed at the visitor. With out a word Tohma walked past a very nude Yuki and sat on the couch, then pulled out the new pack of cigarettes that he had stopped for on his way over.
"I need to talk."
"It's Mika isn't it?" Yuki said dryly closing the door and walking to his room to grab a pair of pajama pants.
"Did you know?" Tohma inhaled the toxic air, closing his eyes.
"No, not really. But I saw it coming…"
"And I was too blind."
"No, not necessarily." Yuki returned to the living area grabbing the cigarette from Tohma's mouth. "But it was inevitable. You never had serious romantic feelings for my sister"
Tohma blinked. Was that what everyone thought? "I lov-"the words caught in his throat once again.
"Exactly." Yuki said whilst Tohma took another cancer stick from the pack on the table to light. He took in the sight of the music mogul. The man was a complete mess. "Answer me this Seguchi, Why did you marry Mika in the first place?"
"I care for her, you know that."
"Care and love are two different things. So father was behind this match as well"
"I don't believe you were too young to remember but I did court Mika for some time before we married. It wasn't arranged…. She chose me…" Tohma took off his hat and ran a wary hand through his untamed hair.
Yuki watched the man squirm under the questions that would get to the truth. "…And you chose Nittle Grasper."
Tohma's frustration building. "She knew what she was getting into; when we started dating she knew that my career was important to me… that I had goals"
"And if you knew Mika like you thought you knew her, You would've known
that all the elbow rubbing she did for you was to get your attention. She wanted to be a part of your world, but your world was N-G Pro."
"That's not-'Tohma broke, head in hands. "true"
"So who is the lucky bastard that bangs my sweet older sis?" Yuki smirked watching how his comment bothered the older man.
"Why should I tell you?" Tohma stood to leave. "But since the world knows by now it is Fujisaki." With that the man made his way to the door.
"Tohma!" Yuki called causing him to stop. "I'm sorry.."
He continued out the door.
