I moved to another computer with a better chair 'cause my back hurts like hell. You'd think after two weeks on a thin air matrass, a comfy chair would feel good, but no, it's torture, I swear…
Fanart is being worked on, but I hate scanning, so I'm going to do some more first, then scan all of it in one go. Does anyone know a reliable place to upload that doesn't delete everything after a week? (forcing me to re-upload weekly grrr)
"You do realize I'll be in his play, not yours, Seguchi."
"Yuki! What about me!"
"You can do whatever you want, brat."
"I wanna be with you!"
"Well what's stopping you? Blackmailing is forbidden, so you needn't be afraid to loose your job."
Shuichi didn't quite seem convinced. No wonder, Tohmaa didn't need words to tell someone they'd better act to his liking if they wanted to live.
'aw, heck, seeing how Tohma seems annoyed with Fujisaki anyway, he'll be going rough on Bad Luck anyway.' That was Shuichi's reasoning. It didn't occur to him that Tohma could do much, much worse than just 'go rough on Bad Luck'. Tohma could do (and also did) things that'd make the devil jealous.
"Okay, then, I'm with you, Fujisaki-kun!"
Now, one would think that wasn't very smart, what with Tohma's unusual talents and all. One would be thinking wrong, though.
"If that's what you want, Shindo-san."
"Right. Anyone else want to be in my play?"
Hiro and K reasoned like this: Tohma might make our lives hell if we pick Fujisaki, and Fujisaki already knows we don't think very highly of him anyway. We don't want to be losers either. Besides, some time away from Shuichi would be nice.
Note how they think in plural. Their thoughts are really on one line, you know.
"Nakano-san, K-san?"
Say it on three, children. Right, Silence.
"Fine. Not like I was expecting anything from you two, anyway. And I suspect Sakano-san will pick his Sacho over me as well."
It wasn't even a question, and Sakano could only look at the ground apologetically.
"Seems like you're going to need some outsiders to be your actors, Fujisaki-kun. Do you need funds? I want it to be a fair fight."
"Don't worry about me. I doubt you know anything about fair anyway."
Tohma chuckled, his eerie smile not faltering.
"Oh, You know me so well. Now them I'll be leaving. Being a director's hard work, you know."
"Yar yar. Just leave already."
Tohma chuckled once more, then left.
"Nakano-san, K-san, please leave now, I don't need any spies."
"Don't worry, Fujisaki-kun, we may not pick your side, but we wouldn't do that."
Fujisaki huffed. Hiro and K left, looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet. Relative peace and quiet, of course, in NG records.
"Whaaat? Shu-chan left no da? But Ryu-chan an' Kuma wanted to play with him an' be his mommy na no da!"
"I'm sorry, Ryu-chan, I couldn't stop him, what with blackmailing being forbidden and all."
Ryuichi mewled and gnawed on Kumaguro's ear in deep thought.
"But Tohma, if Ryu-chan chooses Su-chan's side, he can be with Shu-chan, right da?"
"That's correct."
"But is Tohma ok with that? He'll have to find a new daddy for Ro-chan no da!"
"That's okay, Ryu-chan. I have to re-assign the parts anyway, now that Eiri-san left."
At this point, Ryuichi knew Tohma was scheming something. He knew he was the most masturbated-over idol in Japan, with Shuichi and Yuki hot on his heels, and now, Fujisaki would have all three of them. It would be tricky, even for Tohma, to win then.
But he didn't mind; Tohma's schemes were usually intended to break Shuichi and Yuki apart, and when that happened, Ryuichi would take his chance to make Shuichi his.
"Then, Ryu-chan And Kuma will go to play with Shu-chan now na no da!"
"Ok, have fun, Ryu-chan."
In the back, Hiro and K had also figured out Tohma was scheming something. They, however, weren't happy with it. If Shuichi got hurt again, they'd have to hear his crying and whining all day long. Also, they wondered how exactly, Tohma was planning to win now.
"Maybe he's hoping Fujisaki won't be able to get a place big enough to fit all those fans in."
"Or he hopes the Yuki fans and the Shuichi fans will kill off each other, for taking their god off the market."
"Saa…"("who knows…")
Then, Tohma decided he should get to work.
"Now, then, who wants to be Romeo's father?"
At Fujisaki's camp, things were, to say, 'a little less orderly'…
"Shu-chaaan!"
"Oh, Hey, Sakuma-san. What're you doing here? I thought you-
"He's a spie! He's best friends with Seguchi! He's a double agent!"
"Hey, brat, is this guy always so paranoid?"
"Ever after Sakuma-san told Seguchi-san Fujisaki-kun's plan-
"which he got from you, Shindo-san-
"It was an accident na no da!-
…He's been like that when it comes to challenges."
"Whatever. As long as he's against Seguchi."
"Ryu-chan wants to play with Shu-chan, so he and Kuma are going to be on Su-chan's side!"
Fujisaki didn't see convinced.
"Just accept the idiot, you need all the manpower you can get to beat Seguchi. Plus, he's very popular, right?"
Though not convinced of Ryuichi's loyalty, Fujisaki grudgingly had to admit that, and accepted Ryuichi into his crew.
Ryuichi sheered inwardly, and was surprised by how dumb Yuki Eiri was, to allow him near Shuichi.
"So, now we need to assign the parts."
"We're not sticking to the original parts?"
"I won't be a female."
"I wanna be with Shu-chan a lot!"
"Right. Then, Sakuma-san, you'll be Juliet, Shindo-san will be Romeo and Yuki-san will get a reasonably big male part of choice."
"So, are you gonna stick to the cannon couples?"
"Yes. I am not into incest, thank you very much. I do intent to include stage kissing though. Fanservice and all…"
Yuki was faced with a dilemma here.
On one side, he was glad he didn't have to play a female part, and didn't have to listen to Shuichi all day long.
On the other hand…That idiot Sakuma would be kissing his brat. He didn't want to admit it, but he didn't like it. It was obvious the guy had a huge crush on Shuichi (though he suspected Shuichi didn't see it) and no doubt the perv would be all over him. And Shuichi wouldn't mind, because no matter what the brat told himself (and others) he still saw Sakuma Ryuichi as a god. And who'd refuse their god?
Of course, he wasn't going to tell anyone about his dilemma, or show anyone he cared. He was way too cool for that.
"Whatever."
Shuichi looked hurt, while Ryuichi pretty much looked like a kid who'd gotten candy. Though Ryuichi's thoughts were more like 'that was a big mistake, sucker. Once I get my hands on Shu-chan, he won't want you anymore.' But more on Ryuichi and his thoughts later.
"Yay! Shu-chan, let's rehearse na no da! Ne, ne, Su-chan, what's Kuma gonna be?"
"Your plush can be a fountain." That ought to show Tohma.
"So… sniffle… No lines for Kumaguro?"
"He can make gurgling sounds if he wants." Fujisaki's a tough one, you know. To be able to resist Ryuichi's puppy dog eyes.
"Okay then, na no da!"
The people here are looking at me funny. Maybe it's because I giggle out loud all the time while writing this…
Sniffle I didn't get any reviews at all for the last chapter ;; Well maybe that's because it's only a few hours ago that I posted it… Anyway, review, please! You'd make me sooooo happy! I might do something nice for you! Ohhh, I'm such a perv /giggles insanely
