Eiri Usegi frowned at the phone. His friend, Tohma Seguchi had just told him this Japanese synth pop band's decision.
"So basically, I have to translate the songs?" He said dully. Seguchi asked him favors constantly, but this was definitely a new request.
"Yes, Eiri-san. Bad Luck's manager and producer will move with them. K-san, their manager is American and speaks very good English obviously. Sakano-san speaks the language fairly well due to his travels to the country. All three band members though speak only their native tongue."
"So basically, this K-san and Sakano-san are going to be breathing down the back of my neck and make sure I don't screw up any of these songs?"
"Yes. I'm hoping that they will take to the language. Hiroshi Nakano and Suguru Fugisaki will probably have the easiest time. The vocalist, Shuichi Shindou will probably… wait definitely have a hard time."
"Hmph. Another brainless singer. Don't worry Seguchi" He switched to his native Japanese, "I still remember my language."
"Perfect Eiri-san. You'll be getting a call from NG's Sara. She'll set up a meeting with Bad Luck at the Manhattan NG Studios." Seguchi chatted idly about the band, work, and anything his little mind could think of for the next few minutes. Eiri barely listened and thanked his lucky stars when Tohma had to go to his meeting.
Eiri turned the phone off and threw it unceremoniously on the couch beside him. He his hand reached toward the end table and closed on his box of cigarettes. Using his thumb, he brought one out of the package, far enough to be placed on his lower lip. Eiri-s golden hues closed as he drew the cigarette fully from the packet and flicked open his lighter. Using his free hand, Eiri guarded the flame as it gently caressed the end of his cancer stick. Eiri breathed in deeply. Loving the calming effect the nicotine had on his body.
The silence was paradise. A silence that he could relax in and not need to think. The silence was short lived though. The sound of a key turning in the lock made Eiri frown and curse in Japanese. He leaned forward and crushed his cigarette into the ashtray on the coffee table.
A man slightly taller and about five years older then Eiri walked in. He was wearing a white button up shirt, black pants and shoes. His shirt was tucked in nicely, but his sleeves were rolled up to the elbow and his brunette locks a complete mess. Eiri looked at him out of the corner of his eye and smiled.
"Hey Eiri," Yuki Kitizawa smiled kindly. He placed the bag he had been carrying by the couch before approaching Eiri and placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "How was your day?"
"Shitty. My editors have been hounding me. I got a call from Tohma though. He's bringing a successful band from Japan, over here. He wants me to work with them."
Yuki stopped on his way to the kitchen. He turned around, a frown on his lips and a territorial look in his eyes. "Is this a boy band?"
"Yeah." Eiri found himself fidgeting with the fabric of the couch. "There's three guys. All but one is in their twenties. The third is 18"
"You already said yes?"
"Tohma is counting on me Yuki."
Yuki glared at his lover and began walking back toward the kitchen. "I'll allow it since it's Tohma. But anything funny and this band might suffer from a stranger and unexpected breakup."

Authors Corner
I know, I know! This chapter is really short. But seeing that tomorrow is Saturday I'll probably have another chapter up, if I'm allowed on the computer. -curses parents- Anyway. The point of this chapter was to give you, the readers a feel for how Kitizawa treat's Eiri and how possessive he is. It's hard to do Kitizawa because you don't know that much about him. And Yuki was rough to. I don't want him to out of character. Just a bit. Heh. Review everyone.
