Chapter Six: Phone calls and more phone calls

It was hot. Today had to be the day that the AC broke. Yuki Eiri had the phone placed by his ear. He had a frustrated look on his face as he listened to the moron on the other side.

"We're sorry sir, but we don't have that part at the time," said a wheezy male voice, "You will have to wait 'till next Wednesday."

Yuki rolled his eyes. He felt like hanging up on the idiot. 'Why would an AC company not have parts? It's the summer for crying out loud.'

"Hmm…It's fine bye."

Yuki huffed as he hung the phone up. Walking down the hall towards the kitchen, he entered it and saw Shuichi with his head in the freezer.

"What are you looking for?"

Shuichi did not answer as he continued to dig in the freezer. He then jumped excitedly. "Yatta I found them!" He said happily, holding out two popsicles. He held out a red one to Yuki.

"Do you want one?"

"Arigotou."

Yuki smiled taking the frozen treat. Shuichi smiled, opening an orange one.

"Yuki did you call the AC company?" Shuichi asked placing his popsicles back in his mouth.

Yuki growled as he answered. "Yes and they said they couldn't." Yuki saw Shuichi staring at him perplexed, and added, "Why? Because they didn't have some part."

"That sucks."

Shuichi gazed around the room spotting the clock. It read 10:40am.

"Oh my god I'm late!"

Shuichi said frantically. Giving Yuki a sticky kiss he said goodbye. "Ja ne I'll see you later tonight."

"Ja ne baka," Yuki waved to him. "Have a nice day." Yuki said softly smiling as he watched Shuichi run out the door.

At NG Records, a typical Japanese woman named Mitsuya Emi, a secretary, held a phone to her ear, bowing to the person on the other end, even though they could not see her.

"Hai I'll put you through to him right now."

Seguchi-san you have a call on line one.

Tohma was in his office looking at information on new bands. He placed the papers on the table and pushed the intercom.

Arigatou Mitsuya-san I'll take it.

Tohma waited with the phone to his ear. Hearing the line click over, he responded to it.

"Moshi Moshi."

"Tohma!"

Tohma winced and held the phone a little away from his ear.

"Ryuichi-san, how are you?"

"Genki and so is Kumagoro, how about Tohma?"

"I'm fine thank you."

Tohma answered looking more relaxed. "How's America?"

"Good; I think Kuma-chan is getting a tan."

Tohma covered his mouth to shield his laughter. "Ha…I see. Well do you have a tan Ryuichi-san?"

"Kinda but wait, why are we talking about tans? What is Tohma doing?"

"I'm looking at new bands that want NG to produce them. Oh, and Bad Luck is making a documentary."

"Honto ni?"

Ryuichi yelled in the phone, making Tohma once more hold it away from his ear.

"Ryuichi-san; do you to yell? Yes they really are; I think they start filming today or tomorrow."

"Sugoi I wanna see it!" Ryuichi squealed in the phone causing Tohma to once more hold it away. Rubbing his finger in his ear he winced and passed the phone to his other ear.

"Ryuichi-san please don't shout."

"Gomen Tohma…well I can't talk much longer; Kuma-chan said he has to call his girlfriend. I told him he doesn't have one but he didn't listen." Ryuichi said sighing, "Ja ne Tohma daisuki."

"Ahh Ja Ryuichi-san."

After hanging up the phone, Tohma once more started looking through paperwork. He too wondered how the documentary would turn out.

In a recording room somewhere in NG, Kenji sat in a light red chair looking nervous. It was his first day on the job and the leader singer was late. He gulped as he saw Fujisaki pacing the room with an infuriated look.

Sakano approached Suguru, cautiously putting his hand on his shoulder. "Fujisaki-kun please stop before you wear a hole in the floor."

"That baka! Why is he always so late?"

Hiro, who sat on the other side of the room tuning his guitar, answered him. "Why is the sky blue? It just is and it's Shuichi nature to be late." He went back to tuning with an apathetic look on his face. Suguru and Sakano sweat dropped and shook their heads.

"Why does he seem calm about this?"

K entered the room armed to the teeth. "Where's Shuichi-kun?"

Everyone shrugged and shook their heads. Except for Kenji, who was not use to K's antics, and turned white with horror.

Hiro leaned over and tried whispering a word of comfort to Kenji. "Don't worry. He's all bark and little bite."

K turned his attention to them holding a shotgun. "I heard that Nakano-san; I'll show you how much bite I have." K looked dead serious as he aimed the gun at them. Without giving them time to react, he pulled the trigger.

Kenji jumped and stared dumbfound at shotgun that had a little red flag with the word "bang" on it.

K laughed and slapped his back hard cause Kenji to bend slightly. "Hahoho…no worries De Luca-san, Nakano-san is right about me."

"That's good, but what about Shindo-san?"

"Well he has three seconds to get here before I get him and trust me, he won't like it one bit." K said holding up a grenade and some rope with a scary look. As if on queue Shuichi entered the room.

"Laliho!"

"Baka you're late!" Suguru said, chucking a pen at Shuichi's head. It bounced off his forehead, leaving a small red mark.

"Itai! What did you do that for?"

"Baka how can you be late and walk in here nonchalantly?" Suguru said seething and giving Shuichi the evil eye. Shuichi rubbed his head and turn pale upon seeing Fujisaki's glare. Smiling and holding out his hand in front of himself, Shuichi answered Suguru's question, rambling.

"Gomen nasai Suguru-kun…the AC at my place broke and I had to look for popsicles and Yuki called a place but they said they couldn't fix it…and there was a lot of traffic coming here…please forgive me!"

Everyone sweat dropped at how fast Shuichi said all that. Suguru's features softened and he smiled weakly at Shuichi. "Gomen Shindo-san, I shouldn't have been mean to you."

"You get annoyed too easily."

Suguru gaped and turn around towards Hiro. Hiro rubbed his ear with his index finger with a look of utter boredom.

"Nani!"

Suguru turned to Hiro with a look of shock. Shuichi did not say anything but he agreed with Hiro. 'That's so true.'

Sakano had fainted and K had him in his lap fanning him. Seeing that was not working on awaking Sakano up, K growled and put his favorite magnum on his temple. Sakano woke immediately, but passed out again from shock.

Yuki sat at the table looking bored and sweaty. He was talking on the phone to Mizuki; she wanted to know which titles for his newest book that he liked.

"Yuki-san, how about Petals? Or do you want something else?"

"Mizuki-san, you know very well that I don't care."

"Demo at least pick the color."

"All right red and Petals sounds good."

The phone beeped, indicating that Yuki was getting another call.

"Mizuki-san I'll have to call you back; I have another call on the other line."

"That's ok Yuki-san. I'll get everything ready and come to your place later with samples."

"Huh."

"Ja ne"

Yuki sighed and clicked over to the other line.

"Moshi moshi."

"Moshi moshi. Aniki what are you doing?"

Yuki rolled his eyes and got even more annoyed. He placed the fan next to him on high. Of all the people to call him, it had to be Tatsuha. Who probably called because he wanted Yuki to do something for him.

"What do you want Tatsuha? I know that tone of voice so what do you want from me?"

There was a long pause before the latter spoke. "Aniki don't be so mean; I'm only calling because I love you."

Yuki heard Tatsuha choke on the other side of the line. Walking up to the fridge Yuki looked even more annoyed. Opening it, he took out a beer. "I'm not buying that for a minute. Why did you really call?" Yuki asked pouring the bitter tasting liquid down his throat. He sat down on one of the dark brown leather chairs in the living room, waiting for a reply.

"What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" Yuki questioned with an apathetic tone.

"I wanted to know when you would be coming to Kyoto again."

"Why?" Yuki asked finishing his beer. He sat up to walk into the kitchen for another.

"Dad wants to do mom's memorial a few days earlier?" (1)

Yuki's features softened as he opened his second beer.

"I see. When does he want it and why earlier?"

"I don't really know why, but I'll tell you something. I don't like changing the day; it just seems wrong."

"I agree. What is Mika doing?"

"She said that she'll be here next Thursday. Oh sorry, I forgot to say that it's next Sunday."

"Hmmm…well have to go; I need to decide on a title for my new book."

"Ja ne Aniki I love you."

"Same here ja."

Yuki pushed the receiver the phone off. He placed his head in his hands and sighed.

'It's go to be a long week.'
