You Are My Super
Star
Chapter 17— The Takashimaya Times Square
by YYY
Yugi washes Yami's wound and wraps Yami's wounded arm. Seto gets into his office and dials Ricky's phone numbers. Ricky answering machine picks up.
"I know you're there! Pick up the phone now! If you don't I'll make your life a living hell!" Seto shouts.
"What do you want, Seto?" Ricky says after he picks up the phone.
"Don't play dumb with me! You know what I want! If you hate me that much and you want to murder me, then just go ahead and kill me. Don't drag Joey and other people in it!" Seto shouts.
"What murder?" Ricky asks.
"You know very well what I'm talking about! Seven people almost die today, my agency almost got blow up!" Seto says.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Ricky says.
"I don't even know why I'm calling you. You're sick, twisted and insane." Seto hangs up.
"Seto?" Joey walks into the office.
"Hey, how is Yami doing?" Seto asks.
"He is okay. How about you?"
"I'm fine." Seto says.
"I got you some coffee."
"Thanks, I needed it." Seto says as he drinks his coffee.
"Seto, I'm sorry I can't keep my promise that I will be your star and make this agency the most famous agency ever."
"Don't worry about it. It's better if you go back to the moon kingdom. You'll be happier there." Seto says.
"You don't want me to be here anymore?"
"I shouldn't ask you to be my star the first place. You aren't supposed to be here. You don't belong here. It's not safe for you." Seto says.
"You're right." Joey smiles, "Well, I'm going to go get ready for the show. Can I get you something to eat?"
"No, I don't need anything." Seto says.
Joey gets out of Seto's office. After the bunny closes the office door he lets out a sigh.
"Hey, Joey! Duke bakes an apple pie. Come and have some!" Yami says.
Joey looks up to Yami and smiles, "coming!" The bunny runs to the table and shouts, "this look so yummy! Duke! You're the best!"
Yuig frowns, he can always tell when Joey is just pretending to be happy.
"Yami, I'm going to be right back." Yugi says before he gives Yami a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Alright. I'll be right here." Yami says.
Yugi gets into Seto's office and says, "I thought you are going to ask Joey to stay."
"I never said I will do that." Seto says.
"Why are you doing this to Joey? Why are you doing this to yourself? You two belonged together! Just tell him how you feel!" Yugi says.
"I don't feel anything, okay? You put too much thought in it." Seto says.
"Keep telling yourself that. You're going to be sorry when you lost him. Trust me, I know." Yugi says.
"Hey, Seto. Check this out. Tristan made this! We're going to give some out at the performance. We're going to puts them into the singles too." Pegasus comes in and shows Seto's the Joey's Bisho cards.
'These are good!" Seto says.
"Yeah. The printing company is making more, we're going sell them!" Pegasus says, "oh, the performance will be starting soon, you better go there and set up."
"I'll go as soon as I finish my coffee. Can you ask Joey to check if Gokuu got the outfits yet?" Seto says.
"Alright. Don't work too hard." Pegasus leaves Seto's office. Seto takes a sip of the coffee.
The coffee Joey brings him always seems to taste better. Seto leans forward and takes a look at the bisho cards.
"Your smiles are so goofy, you know that?" Seto says to Joey's picture. He looks through all the bisho cards of Joey.
Joey knocks on the door and says, "Seto! I brought you some apple pie! Duke made it!" Joey says.
Seto hides all Joey's bisho cards into his desk drawer. Joey opens the door and puts the apple pie on Seto's table.
"Are you ready to go?" Seto asks.
"Seto…I…" Joey looks at Seto.
"What's the matter?" Seto asks.
"I just want to tell you I have a great time on Earth. Thank you for taking care of me. I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble." Joey says.
"It was no trouble. Just remember to take better care of yourself from now on and don't cause any more headache for people around you."
"I will remember!" Joey smiles.
"Fine then, let's go and have your farewell performance." Seto heads to the door.
"Coming!" Joey says. Right after Seto leaves, Joey stops smiling.
"I'm going to miss you, Seto." Joey says.
They arrive at Takashimaya Times Square. Joey's eyes light up when he sees all the cool stores in there. "Wow! Look at all the cool stores here!" Joey says.
"We can show you around after we finish the concert. The restaurants in here are great. There's also Tokyu Hands and Kinokuniya bookstore. You'll love it here!" Tristan says.
"Tristan, I can't stay. My family wants to go back. I need to go back to my home after this performance. I'm going to announce my leaving at the end of today's concert." Joey says, "I was going to tell you last night, but I don't know how to start."
"That's so sad. You could have been great. I understand though, a lot of parents hate their kids being teen idols, and you're so innocent it's dangerous for you to be in show business." Tristan says, "you'll keep in touch, right?"
"I'll try. Sorry I can't tell you sooner." Joey says.
"Well, since this is your last performance, let's make it an amazing one, okay?" Tristan smiles.
"Okay!" Joey grins. The blonde runs off and helps carrying the singles that are for sale. "These are so fresh! The company must have just burned them! I can still feel the heat! Let's get it ready on the retail booth." Joey beams.
"I can't believe Joey is leaving us. I wonder how Seto is taking it. Seto likes Joey so much." Tristan says as he watches Seto. Seto is as expressionless as usual. He is instructing the workers to set up the stage while doing all the paper works with the HMV personnel.
"Oh well, let's get the CDs ready, okay?" Tristan asks Duke. Duke nods.
"This is such a wonderful song. I wish I can hear you sing it to me. Too bad you don't talk." Tristan says to Duke, "I wonder if you speak, what will you say?"
Duke leans forward to Tristan and whispers in his ears, "you're the only love of my life."
Tristan's eyes light up as his face blushes. Duke smiles and gives him a small kiss on the lips.
"Joey! I got the outfits!" Gokuu and Sanzo rush up to Joey.
"Yeah! Gokuu! I can always depend on you to help me." Joey beams. The bunny hugs Gokuu.
"He is a very dependable person." Sanzo says.
"Sanzo!" say Hakkai and Gojyo as they walk up. They see Gokuu and exclaim, "Gokuu! How come you are here!"
Gokuu is surprised by the reaction of Hakkai and Gojyo when they see him. He blinks and asks, "Hello? Do I know you?"
"They are your fans. They love your outfit." Sanzo lies.
Gokuu smiles, "thank you for liking my stuff! Why don't you two go to Harajuku some times? I will get you two some clothes."
"Thank you." Sanzo says.
"Well, I'm going to go do the fitting for Joey. See you two later!" Gokuu bows. The fashion designer turns around and says to Joey, "are you ready?"
"Let's go! I can't wait to try on the outfit!" Joey beams and heads toward the changing room. Tristan and Duke follow him.
"Don't worry. Gokuu didn't get his memories back. He is a fashion designer now and he does a lot of fittings for actors and singers. The reason he is here is because he wants to do the fitting for Joey." Sanzo says.
"We're kind of disappointed actually. We were hoping to see him remember you." Hakkai says.
"He can't remember me! Like you said before he had a new life now! Gokuu and I live in a different world. He doesn't need my memories. He needs to move on and find someone new." Sanzo says.
"Why do you do that to yourself? He is the one you think of every night and now he is right in front of you eyes. Make him remember you! You two have a chance to be together again! Work it!" Hakkai shouts.
"I don't want to work it, okay? We have no future together! So just drop it!" Sanzo says.
Pegasus walks up to Sanzo and asks, "hey, where did the Raiders go?"
"They went to do a fitting on their customs." Sanzo says.
"Oh, they missed a case of the singles." Pegasus says. Joey, Tristan and Duke were getting Joey's single ready for sale before they went to go their fitting. The three didn't see a box of CD that was hiding under the table.
"Don't worry, we can do it." Sanzo says.
"Thanks! All you need to do is putting the Bisho cards into the singles. Here are the bisho cards." Pegasus says as he gives Sanzo a case of Bisho cards.
"Okay. I'll have them ready for sale." Sanzo says.
"Thanks. Hey, by the way, Tristan told me the Bisho cards were your idea. Thank you very much for the good thoughts." Pegasus says before rushing off to work on something else.
"And we all know really well how Sanzo can come up with such a good idea." Hakkai says. Sanzo comes up with the idea of bisho cards because he has a set of bisho cards himself. Sanzo has, in his room, a set of bisho cards of Gokuu. A while back Gokuu's company made a set of bisho cards for Gokuu.
"Just help me with the CDs, okay?" Sanzo grunts.
"Testing! testing!" Seto says. He is testing the mic on the stage.
Sanzo looks up on the stage and sees someone walking up to the Seto. "Wait here for me, okay? I'm going to talk to Seto really quick." Sanzo says to his two friends.
"Okay, we'll finish the CDs here." Gojyo says.
On the stage, Seto is setting up everything when Ricky walks up to him. "Hmm…this brings back memories. I used to love it when I watched you setting up the concert for me. You're so sexy when you do that." Ricky says.
"What are you doing here?" Seto grunts.
"I just want to come here to check things out because our new star is going to be having his first single release and he is going to sing here tomorrow. Let me introduce, this is Ryou." Ricky says.
"Hi," Seto looks at Ryou.
"Hello there." Sanzo jumps onto the stage and says.
"Hey, Sanzo, you need something?" Seto asks.
"He looks familiar. I think I saw him before. Didn't you come to Starr Agency this afternoon?" Sanzo asks.
"No, I haven't been in the Starr Agency this afternoon. I was doing a taping at the TV station." Ricky says.
"Not you, him." Sanzo points to Ryou.
"He was with me the whole afternoon." Ricky says.
"Really, I was for sure that I saw him this afternoon at the Starr Agency." Sanzo frowns.
"He is doing the taping with me." Ricky says.
"Seto!" Joey runs up to Seto wearing an ancient Egyptian outfit with modern cutting. He twirls around in front of Seto and says, "so, what do you think?"
"You look great, mutt." Seto says. Joey beams.
"Hey, Joey. This is Ryou. He is a great fan of yours. He sang you song all the time." Ricky says.
"Hello there, Ryou." Joey smiles.
"You know who I am?" Ryou blinks.
"I know everyone. So, you like my song, huh?" Joey asks.
"I love it." Ryou says.
"I'm happy to hear that. Say, why don't you stay and watch me perform?"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! You can even sing with me if it's okay with Ricky." Joey smiles.
"Sure, go up the stage and sing with Joey." Ricky says to Ryou. The Voize junior can't believe this is happening to him. His favourite teen idol Joey is offering to let him sing on the same stage! It's too good to be true!
Ryou's heart lights up. "Thank you!" Ryou says. He is really excited to be able to sing with the star of his dream. He tries to walk up to Joey but Sanzo stops him.
"You're not going anywhere near Joey." Sanzo says to Ryou.
"Why?" Ryou says.
"Because you are a liar. You were at the Starr Agency today. You were the one who bombed our van." Sanzo says.
