Chapter Nine: Super Drive

“When I heard you were back I could not believe you didn't call.” Tea was being poured into fine china cups as the affectionate words were said.

“I know, I planned to, but I had a load of things to take care of. I've been away for so long.” Tea was drunk, cookies were eaten.

“Anyhow, I'm glad you came to see me… I've got a nice treat for you!” Double mahogany doors opened to display a hidden giant television screen, a few buttons were pressed and a fast paced music video began to play. A pair of big brown eyes were immediately glued to it, and a pair of black ones to a certain guitar player. The fast song ended and the ones watching were smiling from ear to ear.

“So, what do you think?” The big brown eyes gleamed and the contentment emanated from their owner.

“Wow, Tohma that was so cool!” The words were spoken so honestly and reverently that it made Tohma smile at how one could be made happy with so little. It reminded him of why he loved this man so much.

“It was cool, wasn't it?” Tohma smiled, pouring more tea in the cup in front of his guest.

“I liked Glaring Dream very much… but I think I like this song better. It's so much happier… and the video, sugoi! Only you, Tohma-kun, can come up with such cool stuff.” The easy smile grew wider, “Tohma… I can't wait to meet them! Can I see them today?” Big brown puppy eyes begged.

“I don't think so, but I promise I'll call them in tomorrow just for you.”

“Cool!!”

“So, what do you think about my proposal?”

“I'm so doing it! Did you talk to her yet?” more cookies were devoured.

“I wanted to make sure you'd do it first. You know that without you we can't give Bad Luck a run for their money.” An easy going smile was flashed.

“The first time I heard their song, I could tell that you handpicked them… wasn't I right?”

“Of course.”

“Seguchi-sama…” Usagi came in looking somewhat pale, “There is someone outside who'd like to see you. He doesn't have an appointment. I told him you were in a meeting, but he insisted…” Usagi looked down blushing; whoever it was must have caused a big impression in the usually conservative woman.

“Who is it?” Tohma asked at the same time a blonde head popped in through the door. Tohma broke into a smile. It was very unlike Eiri to come in during business hours.

“Oh my God… Yuki-sama!” Cookies were forgotten and the other man in the room literally ran to wrap his arms around the mangaka's waist. Yuki Eiri looked down at the shorter man, then at Tohma with an expression that threw the NG president into a laughing fit. Yuki put both his hands on his assailant's shoulders as if he were a live wire and pushed him away.

“Oh my God, I'm your biggest fan!” The man continued disregarding the fact that he had been rudely rejected.

“Who the hell is this?” Yuki asked Tohma, ignoring the man and his comment completely, but with his hands still on his shoulders to keep him from hugging him again. Tohma laughed harder, putting a hand on his stomach. Usagi just looked from one to the other-- she'd never seen her boss laugh like that before... it was what one might call, a Kodak moment.

“You heard him… he's you biggest fan.” Yuki shot Tohma a none too amused glare, “Sorry, sorry Eiri, let me introduce you properly. This is my ex band's lead singer and dear friend Sakuma Ryuichi. Ryu-kun, this is my brother-in-law and best friend Uesugi Eiri.” Yuki looked down to meet big brown puppy eyes. He'd never seen Sakuma Ryuichi before, but he did know that the man was considered a legend in the music industry, even more so than Tohma. He certainly didn't expect him to be such a … baffoon.

“You're Mika-chan's brother… sugoi! I had no idea, Tohma-kun I hate you, how could you not tell me!” Ryuichi pouted, hugging the pink bunny he had been holding tightly. “You could have gotten me an autograph, at least.”

“Ryu-kun, come and sit down.” Tohma commanded somewhat sternly, and the singer obeyed at once, never taking his eyes off Yuki. “It's fine Usagi-chan, you may leave. Do bring another cup of tea for Eiri.” The woman bowed, stole a last glance at the tall mangaka, blushed and hurried out. “Another devoted fan, ne Yuki-sama?” Tohma joked staring after his secretary, “I'm disappointed. I thought she was in love with me.”

“Yeah well, maybe we can invite her over to watch us fuck,” Yuki begrudged, peeling his eyes from Ryu. Tohma snickered and Ryuichi seemed like he was about to cry. “Would you stop staring at me?!” Yuki snapped, not turning to look at the silly singer holding the pink stuffed animal.

“Get him, Kumagoro!” Eiri stepped aside to avoid the pink bunny thrown at him, looking even more disgusted. Tohma went into another laughing fit-- he hadn't laughed so hard since he got a stripper for Eiri's twenty-first birthday bash.

“Don't be mean to your biggest fan, Yuki-sama.” Tohma managed to say between giggles.

“Is this guy for real?” Yuki exclaimed, throwing a hand in Ryu's direction disbelievingly. Ryuichi shifted his eyes from one man to the other.

“Well, you can have your autograph now, ne Ryu-kun?” Tohma added, and Yuki watched the expression of Nittle Grasper's former lead singer change from hurt to total bliss in a matter of seconds.

“I can see that you're busy,” Eiri directed his gaze to Tohma, ignoring the weird episode.

“Oh no, don't worry about me!” Ryuichi yelled quickly getting up, “I want to go downstairs and see if I can find Shuichi-kun. Do you think they're back, Tohma?” Eiri's eyes snapped back to the most obnoxious person he's ever seen at the mention of that name.

“I don't think they'll come today, Ryuichi. They have a couple of interviews, but do go downstairs, and I'll meet you there in a few.” Ryu nodded and went to where Yuki was still standing. The mangaka readied himself to have his personal space violated once more, but it didn't happen. Ryuichi clasped his hands together and bowed low, as if his idol were a saint.

“Next time would you sign my manga, Eiri-san?” The singer asked, almost singing. Eiri rolled his eyes and looked the other way.

“Whatever.” Yuki responded dismissively, and Ryuichi smiled as wide as he could and ran out the door.

“What the hell was that about?” Yuki turned to Tohma who was smiling warmly. “How old is that guy, anyway?”

“A year older than me.” Tohma responded, laughing at Yuki's priceless expression, “I'm happy you came to see me.”

“Yeah, how was the funeral?” Eiri came to sit opposite from Tohma and helped himself to a cookie.

“It was hard to explain to your relatives why both sons were not present at their father's last farewell.”

“Yeah well, I'm sure you managed fine.” Yuki snorted.

“Mika is devastated.”

“Don't act as if you care.”

“Of course I care. Believe it or not, I care about your sister Eiri, not as she might like me to, but I care for her deeply.” Tohma replied seriously, “How's Tatsuha doing?”

“I don't know. I haven't seen him since I dumped him at my house. I think he's trying to put the moves on Mikka,” Yuki smirked.

“Would you die of a heart attack if you find Tatsuha and Mikka at it?” Tohma snickered

“I'd die of shock, but then again, I might watch and give the boy some pointers. It's the least a big brother can do.”

“Sounds like you alright, but why would you be shocked? I'm sure you neglect that poor lonely woman more that you neglect me, and Tatsu-kun looks so much like you… I sometimes wonder if I should use him as a back up.” Tohma said snidely, much to Eiri's very apparent displeasure

“Whatever, I'm not here to talk about any of that.”

“I thought as much. So, tell me, what can I do for you?” Tohma walked around the coffee table and straddle Yuki, giving him a sensual look. Yuki arched a brow.

“Why was he here, anyway? He doesn't strike me as someone you'd have tea with for the hell of it.”

“Ah, we were in the same band for years, and I haven't seen him in so long… but you know me too well. I can't fool you, can I?” Tohma kissed the bridge of Yuki's nose, “Don't mind me, I'm just very happy. I'm releasing a Grasper's greatest hits album and I want to record a couple of new songs with my former band… is that acceptable with your highness?”

“If it's going to make you act like a whore… bring it on.” Yuki said holding Tohma's hips and rubbing them back and forth to rub against his sex.

“Who's acting like a whore now!” Tohma laughed, throwing his head back.

“What does he have to do with Bad Luck, anyway?” Yuki asked getting serious; Tohma snapped his head back up to look at the mangaka, perking a brow.

“My, I didn't know you were so well informed about music, Eiri-kun.” Yuki's cheeks turned red for a second; a second long enough for Tohma Seguchi to notice. “Don't tell me the great high and mighty Uesugi Eiri has been listening to my boys and didn't tell me about it?” Again, Tohma laughed wholeheartedly.

“Yeah… and I know who Hiro is, too!” Yuki snapped blushing deeper, making Tohma laugh louder.

“Are you jealous?” NG's president asked amusedly after a while.

“You wish… anyway,” Eiri snapped, “I need you to keep me informed of all their activities, interviews, performances… I want to know everything.” Tohma got serious and looked at his friend and lover intently.

“And why is that?”

“Because I want to know. Don't worry I have no intention of taking your Hiro away from you,” Yuki looked toward the window and said lowly, “It's the other one I'm interested in.” Tohma broke into a wide smile and hugged the younger man tightly, “Has Yuki Eiri finally met his match?” The music industry mogul asked affectionately. Eiri didn't reply, instead, he nudged the older man to get off him, stood and walked to the door.

“Just do that for me.” He said dryly and went out.

“Eiri!” Tohma called after him, and his blond head popped in the door a few seconds later, “You'll owe me… you know I'm coming over tonight to collect.” Yuki smirked and left the room.

“I hate him.” Shuichi whispered to Hiro as they listened to Suguru's arrangement to their next single “Super Drive”. It had been two days since the over talented heir to the NG empire joined the band, much to the displeasure of everyone.

“Why, because he's good?” Hiro joked.

“Shut up! He's not that good.” Shu glared at Hiro. After their little fistfight to let off steam, they were getting along much better. They actually forgot all about past pettiness. Shu didn't care about Hiro accusing Seguchi-san of being evil; in fact, he thought the same right now. He was now concentrating all of his spite on this way-too-young-to-be this-good kid. If he was honest though, he'd have to admit that he was feeling more than a little threatened by the boss' cousin.

“Quit whining. I think he's working out just fine, besides Sakano-san is right, with Suguru-kun around, you can focus in looking good on stage... maybe you can even get a girlfriend.” Hiro mussed Shuichi's hair.

“Shindou-san!” Suguru called once the mix was over, “What do you think?” The teen's smile was enough to make it all worthwhile, but of course, Shuichi was not ready to admit that just yet.

“It was alright,” Shu yelled back making a face and looking away from the boy. Hiro, along with the rest of the staff, gave him the thumbs up. Shuichi got up and walked to where Suguru had just preformed. He stood with arms crossed, staring boringly as he waited for the youngest member of the now trio to step aside.

“Now, watch the master do it.” Shu added sarcastically.

“What… Tohma-kun is coming to play?” Suguru looked this way and that with his hand over his forehead as if looking for someone. Hiro along with the rest of the staff laughed hard at the clever joke, Shu on the other hand looked as if he wanted to kick some ass.

“Leave him alone Su-kun, he's on his period.” Joked Hiro, still laughing. He came over and took the teen by the shoulders and led him away to watch Shu release some stress. The song began and once behind the mike, Shuichi was a different person.

“Wow, he's so good,” Suguru awed, “I can see why Tohma-kun likes you guys so much.” The teen added, Hiro looked at him, inwardly debating whether to ask the few questions that been plaguing him.

“Tell me Suguru-kun, how well do you know Seguchi-san?” Hiro decided to give it a shot.

“Back when he was in Grasper, he taught me how to play the synth. I was taking piano lessons and at the time I hated it, so Tohma-kun introduced me to the best alternative in the world,” Suguru's eyes shined with pride, “Since then, I've been striving to catch up to him, or at least to make him proud of me. I was so happy when he called me to join Bad Luck.”

“I see. I would want to make him proud, also.” Hiro commented. The both of them were looking ahead at Shuichi play his tune, “What about his family? We've been working for him for a while and we still don't know anything but his name.” Hiro hoped the teen didn't take offence in his questioning, but he had wanted to know about the man who had changed their lives, and Bad Luck's newest member was the only way how. On top of that, since the little episode in the recording studio, Hiro found himself thinking about their producer a great deal.

“Well, his parents died when he was sixteen, and my mom was his father's sister. At the time, she, along with the rest of the family, opposed of Tohma-kun being in charge of his parent's state and fortune. He proved them all wrong and went to Tokyo U, graduating with honors. He joined Sakuma-san and formed Nittle Grasper, met Mika-san and got married, Grasper separated, he founded NG…and that's all I know…Since he got married, I don't get to see him that much. I went to his wedding and I've been to his house a few times with my parents, but other than that, I see him the same as everyone else: in magazines and TV, he's a very private guy.” Suguru smiled, looking at Hiro as if he had rehearsed and memorized this little bio and was expecting praise from his teacher for it.

“You didn't need to give me that much detail; I'm not trying to pry,”

“Of course not,” Suguru smiled

“He doesn't have kids?” Hiro continued after a little while, Suguru smiled again, and Shuichi's awesome efforts were being completely ignored by the two other band members.

“No, and I don't think he will.”

“Oh, that's too bad, eh?”

“You know, there's a rumor going on in the family,” Suguru got closer to Hiro and whispered, “That he only married Mika-san to get to her brother.”

“Her brother?” Hiro asked, obviously shocked.

“I'll tell you, but you have to promise you won't say a word.” Hiro nodded firmly, finding it very hard to keep the interest out of his tone.

“Tohma-kun got involved with Mika-san when he met her brother Eiri… Yuki Eiri.”

“The mangaka!” Exclaimed Hiro shocked.

“Shhhh,” Suguru covered his mouth with one hand and signaled for silence with the other.

“It's only a rumor, but I know for a fact that Eiri-san is Tohma-kun's brother in law. For some reason, they didn't tell our side of the family that Yuki-san was part of the Uesugi clan.” Suguru whispered carefully, taking his hand away from Hiro's mouth.

“I'll be damned…” Hiro whispered in awe, trying to imagine the implications… Tohma Seguchi and Yuki Eiri, as lovers. For some reason that knowledge stirred something deep within him, something he couldn't explain.

“Sugoi!” A loud yell intruded the studio, followed by applause. Hiro looked up, regretting the intrusion; he had wanted to know more about this little rumor that will not let him sleep. Shuichi had finished his piece and was currently staring ahead, stupefied. He turned his head to look at Suguru, who was staring in the direction Shu was, with pretty much the same expression. Hiro turned to see who struck them with *look at the dumb expression on my face* arrows, and found himself face to face—almost touching—with former member and vocalist of Nittle Grasper, Sakuma Ryuichi.

It can't be! Ryuichi Sakuma stood not even ten feet away from him—Shuichi's head was spinning and his legs felt as if they could not hold his weight. He stared stupefied at the man he had admired for so long, the reason he was even into music, applauding his performance… his, no one else's but his.

“Sugoi, sugoi… that was incredible, can you do it again please? I didn't get to see the whole thing.” Ryuichi Sakuma walked towards him smiling from ear to ear. He looked exactly as he did when Grasper was still together, his hair was longer, but the rest was the same. He came to stand in front of Shuichi and bowed slightly… bowed to him! Shu felt as if was going to pass out. He was so happy, yet he couldn't bring himself to say anything, if this was his reaction towards Ryuichi he didn't want to imagine what would be with a certain blond person he loved more than life itself.

“I'm Ryuichi, you can call me Ryu. Can I call you Shu-kun?” Shuichi almost fainted upon hearing his own name out of those godly lips; he nodded like an idiot and was rewarded with another wide smile from the other singer.

“Wow, today has been a great day. I got to see Tohma, meet Yuki Eiri-san and Shu-kun… I'm so happy.” The former Grasper singer sang happily with gleaming eyes, and hugging a pink bunny tight. Shuichi froze at the mention of “that” name, and for a moment Ryuichi wasn't his adolescence idol anymore, he was the one who could answer a question that could change his life… give meaning to his life.

“Sakuma-san… is Yuki Eiri-sama in the building?” Shu asked weakly, wanting to hear a positive answer more than anything. He wanted to run already and look on his own, but where?

“Wow, sugoi! …look at that synth, it's the same kind Tohma-kun and Noriko-chan used!” Ryu exclaimed completely ignoring the question. Shuichi wanted to slap him, shake him, anything to make him talk.

“Ryuichi-san…” Shu begged in a small voice instead.

“Ryu-kun, call me Ryu-kun!”

“Did you meet…?”

“Ah here you are Ryuichi. So you got to meet my boys?” Seguchi Tohma said as he made his grand entrance, cool and stylish as always. Shu felt like crying, getting an answer now was impossible. Ryu moved to where Hiro and Suguru were and bowed slightly to them, introducing himself as if the two had just gotten there and not been standing looking like idiots the whole while. Tohma came to stand by them and Shuichi noticed Hiro blushing like a schoolgirl again and Suguru looking ready to pass out.

“Shuichi-kun,” Tohma-san called and he was forced out of his daze. “Come, since I have all of you here, I have an announcement to make,” Shu walked to them. He should be excited, happy, elated, but instead he felt like running away from it all, to look for “him.” Why did being in love had to be so hard? And why did he have to be in love with someone he could never meet? Shu stood next to Hiro and waited for the “big news”.

“NG is proud to announce the release of Nittle Grasper's greatest hits album, along with a Mikka Costa new double single.”

“Wow that's great Tohma-kun!” Suguru was the first to say.

“Does that mean the Nittle Grasper is getting back together?” Hiro asked not at all impressed.

“Yes, and that's not all,” The NG president smiled wickedly. “We're releasing them the same day Gravity is scheduled to come out.” Shuichi snapped his eyes to the blond mogul, his world collapsed like a wall of dominoes falling in a chain reaction, for the first time in his life he felt… betrayed.

“Seguchi-san!”

“Tohma-kun!” Hiro and Suguru yelled in unison, making the cruel producer smile wider.

“Don't you think it would add more interest to the whole affair? I'm dying to see who will emerge victorious in this little race… of course I'm cheering for Bad Luck.”

“Little race?!” Hiro spat, “You know exactly who will win this “little race.” How can you do this to us? Isn't it in your best interest that we sell records? What games are you playing?” Hiro was so mad that he could barely keep his voice in check. Shuichi could literally see the steam coming out of his ears; he'd never seen him so upset.

“Of course it's in my best interest… do you have that little confidence in yourself? I wouldn't have made this kind of decision if I didn't think you're ready. What do you think, Ryu-kun?”

“It's gonna be great! I can't wait to sing together,” He turned to Shuichi smiling broadly. Shu could not find it in himself to say anything to his idol, and the saddest part was that he didn't even care one way or the other… all he wanted to do was to run as fast as he could to look for Eiri Yuki, to find out if he was, or had been in the building.

Yuki stood behind the one-way glass window watching the whole tirade unfold. He could not take his eyes off the young god standing not twenty feet from him looking so lost.

“Beautiful…” he whispered to himself touching the glass as if reaching to him. “Your eyes… I want to touch them…” The lavender eyes that had been haunting him for the past two months were even more mesmerizing in person. The desire to go through that door and hold the young beautiful face close to his was overpowering, but… what would he say… what would he do? He was not in that deep yet as to be irrational about things, he would keep tags on him with the help of Tohma and when the time was right. He would have what he so wants. Yuki sighted frustratingly and watched them argue over Tohma's little game a few minutes longer.

“Another night, with my own hand as my lover.” thought the irritated mangaka, rolling his eyes annoyingly, then turned and left quickly.

XXX

A/N Tohma is getting on my nerves… what does he have up his sleeve? Is he such a brat that because Hiko-kun isn't doing what he wants, he has to act like that? I'm telling you, I hope Hiro makes him suffer…or maybe give it to him so that he acts normal again, either or^^

Next Stop: In The Moonlight. Oh yeah! The awaited moment of truth… Yuki and Shuichi's eminent reunion, where will it take place, how, will they fuck? I think all of those key questions WILL be answered in the next exiting chapter… don't miss it!!!
