"Common K-san! Drink up, this round is on me!" Shuichi squealed into the Americans ear. K tried to resist the urge to throw his drink over the head of the hyperactive pink ball of bouncy that was Shuichi Shindo. He rolled his eyes and took a sip of the beer that had been sitting in front him of. K grimaced at the taste, it had been sitting there longer than he thought and it was no longer icy cold.

The blonde spun round in the barstool to face the crowd on the dance floor. Among the sea of people he noticed Hiro and Suguru, strutting their stuff on one of the raised platforms, dancing in the most suggestive way imaginable. The group of women at the base of the podium were watching in awe as the two sexy stars began to grind their hips together. K had to admit that the sight was rather hot and cracked a small smile.

"AH HA! Sakano-san did you see that? Finally K-san smiles!" Shuichi was bouncing around, causing the frilly hot pink shirt he was wearing to bounce around all over the place, the sight was actually making Ks head spin a little. K looked towards Sakano who was sitting in the barstool on the other side of Shuichi, he was amazed at how different the producer looked without his glasses on. He was wearing a simple black shirt and jeans, but both garments where extremely tight, showing off the producers slender body, K actually thought he looked pretty good, he made a mental note to tell Sakano to dress casual more often tomorrow.

"Sakano-san…K-san…common! Drink up and come and dance with us, it will be lots of fun" Shuichi whined and began to tug and pull on Ks arm. He quickly gave up when the blonde didn't even budge an inch. The pretty in pink popstar pouted at his manager.

"K-san, the reason we are here tonight is to cheer you up, it's time you stopped mopping around about Judy and maybe try to move on with your life, its been 3 months now K-san. To be honest, how placid you have been since it happened is really freaking me out, I mean, you haven't held a gun to my head in such a long time I'm beginning to forget what the cool steel feels like, of course that can only be a good thing, for me that is, but you should……………"

K turned away from Shuichi and ignored the rest of his rant. The one thing K couldn't stand was a drunken Shuichi, he wouldn't shut up at the best of times, but give the kid a drop of liquor and his mouth would run a mile a minute.

It had been 3 months now since Judy had called, no 'hello's or 'how are you's, she was straight down to business. She told K that she wanted a divorce, she no longer felt like she had a husband anymore and wished to be married with Ark, the Winchester family gorilla. At first K was devastated, but he really should have seen it coming. The tears had stopped a month ago but the heartache was still there.

K glanced back over at Sakano who seemed to be engaged in conversation with a rather tall and rugged looking foreigner, K was sure he was British from the accent in his speech. He watched as the man moved closer to whisper something into the producers ear, causing him to have a fit of giggles and blush brighter than a tomato. He then took note of the smirk on the ravens face and the touch of his hand on the other mans arm, causing him to more a bit closer. Ks eyes widened when he realised that Sakano was actually flirting back with this man….Sakano was gay?

K returned to his drink and laughed, of course Sakano was gay, the man was completely devoted to Tohma Seguchi, a true 'lap dog'. He'd seen the way the producers eyes followed his sacho around the office, how could he have not noticed it before? Was it because Shuichi had so much "gayness" about him that it outshone everyone else? Yes….yes that had to be it K decided.

He sat his beer down onto the bar and stood up, looking around to find a restroom to relieve himself. "Just nipping to the toilet Shuichi, make sure not to run off now okay?" He wasn't sure if Shuichi actually heard him or not, the young boy seemed lost in the music and was still bouncing around like an idiot. K wondered how on earth one Mr. Eiri Yuki was able to put up with it.

It was about half an hour before K finally managed to leave the toilets. He had run into an old friend from America who was in currently on holiday in Japan, they chatted for a while before K gave him his number and made his way back towards the band. On route he noticed Sakano and the foreigner head towards the back door of the club, Sakano appeared to be held up by the older man, maybe he was feeling sick and needed some fresh air. He finally made it back to the bar and sat down in the stool beside Hiro.

"Jesus, did you guys see Sakano? He was white as a sheet, I've never seen him so drunk before" K laughed, maybe he was a little drunk himself. He stopped when he noticed the strange looks the band was giving him.

"What do you mean drunk K-san? Sakano-san doesn't drink" Suguru raised an eyebrow at the American. "He had one beer when we first got here and the rest of his drinks were non-alcoholic cocktails"

K was confused. "But I just saw him leave with that guy, he was practically being carried out of here"

"Maybe he's feeling ill" Hiro piped up "He was very chatty one minute, then he suddenly went very quite and had his head resting on the bar, I thought he had passed out for a second"

K had this sudden uneasy feeling in his stomach, something was terribly wrong here. He watched as Shuichi picked up a red drink from the bar. "That big monkey dude said he was going to take him home, but look! Sakano didn't finish his drink. He he he, more for me!"

Ks eyes went wide for a second, it had suddenly dawned on him. The blonde jumped up from his stool and slapped the drink away from Shuichis hands, he ignored the boys cries of "wasted drink" and turned to Hiro "Sakano has been drugged, that's the only way to explain his behaviour" His mind when into overdrive, he had to find Sakano as soon as possible before anything happened to him. "Hiro! Make sure Shuichi gets home in one piece, I need to find Sakano" He didn't wait for a reply, instead he ran as fast as he could out the door he
seen the producer leave by.

K was frantic, he had looked all around the block and there was no sign of Sakano. He tried to call his cell phone only to find it was switched off, he tried his house phone to see if he was home yet, and received no answer. K flipped his phone shut and stopped running for a second to catch his breath, bent over with his hands resting on his knees, breathing in sharp heavy breaths. He hadn't stopped running since he left the club.

The wind was blowing quite fierce this evening and it was causing Ks hair to fly in all sorts of directions, the blonde was becoming mildly irritated by it. He ducked into a nearby alleyway to get some shelter and took his phone out again, he knew all the numbers to the hotels in the area, he had called them all so many times when Shuichi would go missing that he knew them by heart, he hoped that Sakano had been dragged to one of them by the rugged man at the bar. He was about to dial the first hotel (Takanas inn) when some scuffling noises behind caught his attention. K shut off the phone and slowly made his way top the far end of the alleyway. A faint, pitiful cry of "No….p-please stop…I-I-I don't want this!" made his heart stop.

K pulled the small gun that was strapped to his ankle free and held it in both hands, standing with his back flush to the wall so he wouldn't be noticed, he listened…waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Common baby, you know you want this as much as me"

"N-no please, I'm really n-not interested"

"Look you're hard. Hmm you're a good length too, I bet you're nice and tight too"

-gasp- "Uhnnn p-please stop"

"Stop being such a wuss, you're acting like a little fucking virgin"

"………"

"HOLY SHIT! Dude? Are you a fucking virgin? That's just fucking twisted, someone as beautiful as you should not be so pure, I'm going to take great delight in showing you what its like to be a real man"

Ks grip on his gun tightened, how dare this man take advantage of Sakano like that, the man had never done a wrong thing in his life. A strangled cry from the producer made K leap into action, he threw himself around the corner, facing Sakano and the foreign man, who now had Sakanos naked legs thrown over his shoulders, cock in hand ready to invade. K pressed the barrel of the gun hard against the mans forehead, enjoying the look of fear on his face.

"let….him….go………..NOW!"

The man dropped Sakanos legs off his shoulders and moved as far as he could away from the gun, not once taking his eyes away from Ks. The American advanced on the man and grabbed him up by the scruff of his neck.

"P-P-P-Please don't kill me" the man sobbed, tears streaming down his face. The sight only caused K more anger

"HOW DARE YOU! How dare you beg for your life like that, after what you did to Sakano you deserve death"

"B-But I didn't touch him…" K cut him off by shoving the barrel into his mouth.

"I don't care! You feel the fear boy? It's not nice is it? Now imagine what that must have felt for Sakano? Sure he didn't have a gun pointed to his head but the fear is still there and it's exactly the same" K drew the gun back out of his mouth and wiped it on the ghastly yellow shirt the man was wearing. "have a think about it…while your sleeping!"

K swung the gun round and smacked the foreigne man over the back of the head with the handle, knocking him unconscious.

"Peace of shit, I hope you fucking rot in hell"

The manager made his way over to his work colleague and helped him to sit up, Sakano was babbling incoherently now, his shirt was ripped open and his trousers and boxers were ripped in two. K quickly took off his own trousers and slid them onto the producers legs, he then grabbed his cell phone back out and called for a cab to take them back to his apartment. K stood shivering in just his shirt and boxers, waiting for the cab to arrive.

K lay Sakano down on his bed and sat down beside him. He was shocked when a hand suddenly shot out and gripped onto his wrist

"Where am I? What the hell is going on? I can't see!"

K moved his hand so he was holding onto Sakanos tightly, he then reached out and brushed his other hand through the producers hair, trying to soothe him.

"It's okay Sakano, it's probably just the effects of the drug, they should wear off by the morning" He hoped "Your at my place right now, I brought you here, would you like anything?" The grip on his hand tightened

"Don't leave, dear god don't leave I'm fucking terrified" K had to admit he was a little scared himself, but he wasn't sure if taking Sakano to the hospital would help him any. Instead he stood up, a bit difficult to do with the vice grip on his hand, and kicked off his shoes. K the pulled back the blankets and urge Sakano to crawl underneath them.

Once the producer was settled in, K crawled in himself and pulled the poor frightened man against him. Sakano had begun to spew his incoherent nonsense again. K rubbed his hands over his back and held him close, trying to offer some sort of comfort. He rested his chin on his head and closed his eyes, listening to what Sakano was ranting on about

"I didn't know what to do, I couldn't move and my vision was bleary, his hands….disgusting hands were everywhere, I never want to be touched like that again, not unless if was by him but who am I kidding. Eh heh he he, why would he want a pathetic weed like me…why did that guy want a pathetic weed like me? I'm sorry if I have my beliefs and I know its sad that I'm a virgin at 29 but I've never met the right guy….hell I didn't even know I was gay until K-san showed up…….but then again……"

Ks eyes shot open, Sakano didn't realise he was gay until they met? He swallowed hard and ran his fingers through the short black hair in front of him. Did Sakano even realise who he was talking to? Had the drugs affected him that much? "What do you mean by that? That you didn't realise you were gay till you met K?"

"K is the most wonderful person I have ever met" Yup, Sakano didn't have a clue who he was talking to, his eyes seemed to have this glazed far away look in them. "It kills me that he's so torn over his divorce, I saw him crying in the toilets one day and I just wanted to hold him and kiss those tears away" Ks cheeks coloured slightly, embarrassed that he had been caught crying. Sakano fisted his hands into Ks shirt and held on tightly "I know I could never stand a chance with him, he's straight for a start and I'm also too much of a coward to even be known as his friend, let alone his lover. I want him to be happy and I want him to smile again" Sakano was crying now "I love him so much, I ache to think I may never be able to tell him that. Oh how I wish I could at least be given a chance"

K tightened his arms around the producer, he really didn't know what to say. Gently, he rocked the man in his arms back and forth, eventually breaking him out of his babbling rants and lull him off to sleep. K looked down on the sleeping face of the raven haired man, his cheeks streaked with tears, eyes puffy and hair askew. But at that moment K thought Sakano had never looked so perfect. He suddenly felt so right being held against his chest. Like a jigsaw, pieces that were made to fit together. He continued to stroke the raven hair until sleep creped up to claim him also, but before submitting, K placed a small kiss on Sakanos forehead and buried his face into the crook of his neck.

"Yaknow Sakano-san, maybe…just maybe…your wish will come true"
