Click on the "Change system locale..." button.

If you can't read Japanese this might hinder your productivity a bit. You can always change this setting back to English, the install the software again. After installing you can change this back to Japanese so your other programs that require Japanese locale still work. If anyone is having trouble installing the game I have created an installation guide here: http://www.yaoiotaku.com/forums/threads/1109-Installation-Guide-for-Kichiku-Megane?p=14332&posted=1#post14332 Download Kichiku Megane Yaoi Game: Disc 01 Disc 02 For download re-upload requests, post here so the staff notices them.

Ryuu Sora and I sat on the couch in the living room watching the news. Akira and Reiko had left to go look for Hasu while we had decided to stay at my apartment in case he showed up. Sora kept picking up his phone and looking at it. I didn’t say anything. What could I say? Hasu was important and special to all of us but especially to Sora. Sora sat up on the couch as he heard the front door open. Familiar blond streaked black hair appeared around the door. "Oh my god! Hasu! We've been so worried!" Sora was already on his feet and heading for the door when he stopped. I took one look at Hasu's face and knew things were horribly wrong. I'd never once seen Hasu look that terrified. "S-Sora . . ." Sora could have been a statue as the door opened wider. I clapped a hand over my mouth to stifle the sudden urge to scream. "Hello Miyaki, it's been a while." Naoki. Naoki was standing in the hall behind Hasu. Sora stumbled back as Naoki lashed out with what looked like a metal rod. It caught him on the side of the head sending him to the floor. I jumped up. My shout mingling with Hasu’s "Sora-" Hasu's yell ended in a yelp and anger surged through me as the younger boy was knocked to the floor. No one, especially not some fucking psycho like Naoki, touched Hasu. I started forward but Sora was already on his feet again. Blood was trickling down the side of his face, but his eyes were dark and murderous. "Stay where you are Sora, or your drummer will be lucky to be able to hold chopsticks." Naoki's foot pressed down on the back of Hasu's neck, holding him down. "Now, I'm going to let you up. Remember what I told you. You do what I say or I'll make good on that promise." I watched Hasu slowly get up as Naoki moved back. He moved like he was hurting, his normally cat-footed grace gone. He didn't look up as Naoki shoved him in the direction of the living room. What had Naoki done to him to make him too terrified to even fight back? There was no time to think about it. There was a crackle of electricity and a thud. I gasped seeing Sora on the ground Naoki with the baton raised over his head. “Sora!” I don’t know what possessed me, but the next thing I knew I had a hold of Naoki’s arm and was trying to keep him from hitting Sora again. “Let me go you dumb fuck.” He shook me off and I suddenly found myself grabbed and forced to the ground. “So this is the famous Ito Ryuunosuke.” A low ominous voice drawled above me. “Don’t hurt him! Please don’t hurt him!” Hasu was sobbing. “R-Ryuu I’m so-sorry . . . Kenta-“ “Shut up boy!” The man above me snapped. Hasu didn’t say anything else but I could still hear him crying softly. “You got the other one Naoki?” “Yeah he’s out.” My arms were yanked behind my back and I was hauled up. I felt like the floor had dropped out away from me and I was on a continuous free fall into hell. I had a glimpse of Sora sprawled on the floor and gasped in shock. There was so much blood. Why was there so much blood? “Sora! You fucker! What did you do to-“ I yelped as he backhanded me. This felt so familiar and tremors of fear ran through me. My brain was doing crazy tumbles and leaps trying to comprehend everything that was going on. It was all happening so fast, I felt dizzy and pathetically useless. “You forget already how to talk to me, Ryuu?” Naoki snarled. “You should be happy I didn’t hurt him worse.” He shoved me down into a chair one of them had pulled out from the dining room table. “Rame, you got that rope?” Rame? This giant of a man was Rame? He was easily Sora’s height, but didn’t have Sora’s lean graceful figure. He was too bulky. This was the man even Kenta feared. Oh god . . . Kenta. I glanced over at Hasu trying not to yelp as I was roughly tied to the chair. Hasu had started to say something about Kenta. Hasu was huddled in the arm chair that Sora usually sat in, his arms wrapped around his knees, his face almost invisible behind his hair. He looked so tiny. “Tie up the other ones too. We might get some money for them too.” Money? That’s what this was about? Of course it was. Naoki was one of the greediest people I’d ever met, he loved to possess things. The next couple of hours seemed to literally crawl. Naoki and Rame went through every room and I could hear them going through my things. Sora came to about the time they came back and started going through the kitchen looking for something to eat. I glanced down hearing the soft groan. Slightly glazed green eyes peered up at me through blood matted hair. I shook my head hoping he’d get the hint to stay down. I saw his eyes widen in understanding and he settled back down with a small hiss of pain. Hasu had long since passed out in the living room where they’d left him. The poor kid looked terrible and I had to keep myself from thinking about the things they might have done to him. I knew what Naoki was like. How cruel he could be and how much he liked to inflict pain. Just thinking of Hasu being at his mercy was enough to start silent tears running down my cheeks again. The only thing I was thankful for was that Akira and Reiko weren’t there. I jolted, Naoki’s voice catching me off guard. “What the fuck is taking so long? Why haven’t they called back?” “Be patient, they’ve gotta get the money together don’t they?” There was a grunt. “I don’t like being here.” “Don’t worry. No one is going to come up. That kid took care of that.” “Yeah and you said no one knew about the bar either but then he showed up and almost ruined everything.” “Are you questioning me?” Whatever Naoki had been going to answer was interrupted by the phone ringing. Rame’s grin said everything. “Took you long enough. You have it? . . . Good.” I listened to him give them instructions on what to do with the money. My poor mother was probably having a complete melt down. Didn’t they understand that my parents paid money to prevent this very kind of thing? Jiro and his gang were probably already in the area and getting ready to solve this. Naoki and Rame were dead. Quite literally. Jiro would show no mercy. I knew him well enough for that. I looked over at Naoki where he lounged in the kitchen eating my food. “You guys are dead. You realize that. My parents won’t pay you.” He snorted at me. “They already are. Rame’s talking to them now.” “He might be, but my bodyguard is Yakuza and they have sworn to protect me and my family.” He laughed. “Who do you think gave us the access codes to get in here? Rame knows Kenta, they go way back. He was in on this whole little caper the whole time. You really are stupid, you can’t even tell when someone is cheating on you.” Not even being beat by Naoki hurt as bad as that statement. Kenta had been cheating on me? Why? With who? I couldn’t believe him. Yet . . . it made sense. The way Kenta had been pulling away, spending less and less time with me. I let my head drop not even realizing I was crying until tear drops appeared on my lap. “Why would anyone want to stay with a dumb fuck like you, all the needy whining and clinginess. It’s enough to drive any sane person away.” A sob startled me, but then I couldn’t hold them back. It was exactly what Kenta had said to me that morning. I was too needy. “Fuck, this is exactly what I was talking about.” “Shut him up Naoki.” Rame snarled. Grabbing my hair Naoki jerked my head back. The look in his eyes sent a lance of fear through me. “I’ll take care of him, don’t worry.” Keeping a tight grip on my hair he reached around me and I felt the ropes loosen. Then he was pulling me to my feet. “Wait . . . what are you doing?” Hasu was on his feet, staring at me. Naoki didn’t reply and started to drag me toward the hallway. We both stumbled as something slammed into me. “Leave Ryuu alone!” Hasu was clinging to me, bodily trying to keep Naoki from taking me with him. “Get off you little shit! Rame, come get him.” Hasu started yelling and I felt the thud vibrate through us both as he was hit. “Let go Hasu, let go.” Something shattered and I heard Naoki grunt, the grip in my hair leaving. Hasu and I both collapsed to the floor. I grabbed him realizing he was unconscious. I looked up, shocked and relieved to see Sora up, a broken wine bottle in his hand. Naoki was slumped against the wall, blood, wine and glass shards all over him. Rame didn’t look a whole lot better as he got to his feet. “You are dead you-“ The door to the apartment slammed open, yakuza pouring in. I caught a glimpse of Jiro followed by Daisuike and several others, then things seemed to go gray, noises fading.

took me few days to work this one out but finished it in the end lol let me know what you think guys.... I can see the crimson horizon between the ocean and the sky The lights are fading, day is closing and stars are looking high. I lie back on the sand and place my hands above my head The world is changing before my eyes, everything is turning red. I start to dream about a world where war is good and truth is bad The roads are long and harsh, the worst experience I've had. I run to the edge of the earth waiting for it all to break I fall deeper into the dream, which path do I have to take. I breathe and keep believing that it will all be over soon I’m waiting to hear those waves being moved forward by the moon. I slowly open my eyes to see the shining silver rays I smile as you are next to me to see your love that pays.

I love this one: Kaze to Oka no Ballad by Real Paradis ft. Nodame Orchestra Kanji Romaji Translation

I love this song so much because I can relate to it so well John Rzeznik (Singer from Goo Goo Dolls) "I'm Still Here" I am a question to the world, Not an answer to be heard. All a moment that's held in your arms. And what do you think you'd ever say? I won't listen anyway… You don't know me, And I’ll never be what you want me to be. And what do you think you'd understand? I'm a boy, no, I'm a man.. You can take me and throw me away. And how can you learn what's never shown? Yeah, you stand here on your own. They don't know me 'cause I'm not here. And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change, They’re the ones that stay the same. The don’t know me, 'Cause I’m not here. And you see the things they never see All you wanted, I could be Now you know me, and I'm not afraid And I wanna tell you who I am Can you help me be a man? They can't break me As long as I know who I am And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change, They’re the ones that stay the same. They can’t see me, But I’m still here. They can’t tell me who to be, ‘Cause I’m not what they see. And the world is still sleepin’, While I keep on dreamin’ for me. And their words are just whispers And lies that I’ll never believe. And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can they say I never change They’re the ones that stay the same. I’m the one now, ‘Cause I’m still here. I’m the one, ‘Cause I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here.

This is my favorite song.. it's Korea song... translate it to English..^^ Hey, stay, love is all over, try to back it out Still can't believe that you're gone and this is MBLAQ I didn't think it'd turn out be like this, you left me Thought I believed that it's a eternal thing (No, no, no) thought I believe that I risked everything, I threw everything away for you idiotically, I'm not able to push you aside (no) how can you give me soreness? Oh baby stay with me, stay by my side You were all I had-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a Stay in my heart Oh baby stay together, I'm just I'm just looking at you in this way-i-i, i-i-i, i-i-i Stay in my heart Sometimes you told me we should break up I thought you were just saying it this time again one or two days (Time goes by) I wait everyday for you to come back What are you talking about all of a sudden Whatever the reason is, I'll never end it Stay with, my heart that can't sen you out Is down on it's knees (Try to tell me) Why do you leave me I lost everything, how should I erase you? like an idiot, I can't forget you (no) how can you give me wounds? Oh baby stay with me, stay by my side you were all I had-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a stay in my heart Oh baby stay together, I'm just I'm just looking at you in this way-i-i, i-i-i, i-i-i stay in my heart I'm still staying now as you know I still remember It's unforgettable, I can't erase you, not even for an instan I... A blind person who was blind by the love that has gone now I'm just guest that comes and leaves to you I'm confined the maze of the unkind you I went crazy in you changeable love The gap between us is so wide Sometimes I remember such a thing and cry Lips that whispered love, eyes that looked at time Were all nothing? I can't believe it Oh baby stay with me, stay by my side You were all I had-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a Stay in my heart Oh baby stay together, I'm just I'm just looking at you this way-i-i, i-i-i, i-i-i Stay in my heart.

ive just found this song and its really nice and a fav of mine atm, the spill canvas-lullaby It's the way that you blush when you're nervous. It's your ability to make me earn this. I know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep. It's about how you laugh out of pity, 'Cause lets be honest I'm not really that funny. I know that you're shy, just let me sing you to sleep. If you need anything, just the say the word. I mean anything. Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in, Plant my lips where your necklaces close. It's those pills that you don't need to take, medicating perfection, now that's a mistake. I know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep. It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it. It's your grace and how it keeps me grounded. I know that you're weak, just let me sing you to sleep. If you need anything, just the say the word. I mean anything. Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in, Plant my lips where your necklaces close. While you were sleeping I figured out everything, I was constructed for you, and you were molded for me. Now I feel your name, coursing through my veins. You shine so bright it's insane, you put the sun to shame. (Oh) If you need anything, just the say the word. I mean anything. (I really do) Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in, Plant my lips where your necklaces... If you need anything, just the say the word. I mean anything. Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in, Plant my lips where your necklaces close.

What was it that I did To make you change your mind? What is it that I do not have That you can’t seem to find? We’ve been together for so long I gave you all my trust Did you really mean your love Or was it all just lust? I have not done a single thing To make you feel my pain But now you claim you are done There’s nothing more to gain I gave you everything I had And still it’s not enough But now it seems you want nothing more And you think your so tough I do not know what I should do But I will ignore the past. If I can make him feel my pain I’ll make sure it will last.

Take a deep look in my eyes And tell me what you see You will never see the world The way that it sees me Take a deep look at my face And tell me who I am It changes every passing second It’s never the same again Take a deep look at my body And tell me what you feel An empty shell that hides itself From everything that’s real. Take a deep look in my life And please find something right Take a way the tears I cry When I’m alone at night Take a deep look in my soul And tell me that it’s real That it’s not only pain and hurt That I am forced to feel. Take a deep look at the one Who stands before your eyes And tell me if it’s really me Or just one more disguise

so I decided to draw my version of Ryuu and Kenta ^^ hope you like it. I'll post the finished version tomorrow. Hopefully.

Shadows dance along the wall Drawing in my eyes Images that pull me in And drown my silent cries Voices echo all round And speak in to my ear But if I turn to answer Not a single soul is near. Dreams all start to come alive No matter what I say But even though I’m not asleep I see them any way. Images I can’t explain Will dance within my mind But as I take a closer look I end up left behind. Another nightmare comes to claim A dream that I hold dear But never waking up again Has been my greatest fear.

Look beyond the meadows Beyond the hills and trees. Gaze over the mountains And all the shining seas. Walk into the sunset To a place that’s filled with dreams. Where everything’s a surprise. And nothing’s at all as it seems. It is called the land of the Mystics. Where mystical creatures are found. Some dragons live up in the sky, While other’s inhabit the ground. The valley is covered in flowers, The forest’s as green as can be. All creatures have made it their home. But hide so they cannot be seen. Each one has their own kind of power. The limit of strength, there is none. Their magic combined is incredible. It dims the light of the sun. Of all the creatures that live there, Only one has power above all. The mighty magnificent unicorn. With its horn he stands proud and tall. The unicorn’s presences is noticed From the minute he appears on the hill. If you look at the stars on a warm clear night. You’ll see that’s he’s standing there still.

A very realistic reflection on the world happenings, in general. Short and simple, full of insight and truth. Yours word deliver a melancholic bittersweetness that goes very well with the idea being transmitted. My favorite part is: It gives a sense of closure. And yet again it does not. Hinting of the end and the rebirth of a cycle. Beautiful. (:

Ok i got it. So here are some of my collection: 1) Is it only Me 2) J'ai tue ma mere 3) Latter days 4) Just une question d'amour 5) No night is too long 6) were the world mine 7) whirlwind 8) strapped 9) testosterone 10) holding trevor 11) trick 12) Prayers for bobby (Highly recommend to homophobes) it is based on real life story. My personal taste: i prefer Latter days, no night is too long, were the world mine, trick, prayers for bobby, just une question d'amour

i've just seen 3 non-Asian BL movies ... Starcrossed - short film ( 15 mins) it's about brother-brother love ....two brothers realize that the feelings they have for each other are not just those of brothers. They are happy together until their mother discovers their relationship ...... i quite like this film .. even though the ending is a bit negative the second film is From Beginning To End (Do Começo ao Fim) ... ... *brother-brother relationship again, lol * to this film, i only like the part when two main characters were little ... it's cuter than when they grow up the third is Queer as Folk ))) ... haven't finished watching yet but this film is the hottest BL film that i've ever seen )))) ... the dialogue is quite naughty but maybe it's not my mother tounge ... so i don't feel it as naughty as its real meaning

I love western BL just as much as I love oriental BL. I've seen lots and lots of eastern BL movies but I've only watched a drama or two, so far. Concerning about the western ones, I've seen as many movies as Asian ones, but I've watched a larger number of dramas. Take into consideration that some are focused purely on homosexuality, while others are about various pairings - both hetero and homosexual, and others are only faintly gay themed. I'll leave a list of the movies and another of the western dramas I enjoyed the most and totally recommend. (: Dramas: -Six Feet Under -Torchwood -Oz -Verbotene Liebe -El Cor De La Ciutat -One Life To Live -As The World Turns -Queer As Folk -Brothers & Sisters -- Movies: -Brokeback Mountain -Mysterious Skin -Eyes Wide Open -No Night Is Too Long -Total Eclipse -J'ai Tué Ma Mère -Sun Kissed -Gipsy 83

H: HIM

I have a brother 2 years my junior. But a lot of people keep mistaking me for an only child or the younger sibling. it's not like i ever hid that fact but people keep assuming that's the case. LOL

The fave part of the song I'm listening too now; あきれるほど君を想うよ それだけで僕は?たされる 泣かないで、いつだって?えるよ 瞳を閉じれば… It is the final verse in オレンジの太陽

Hi! I am well aware of the fact that a lot of us are big Asian BL drama fans here. However, I'm curious if there are any of us here who also love watching non-Asian BL drama series/movies too. And if so, can anyone recommend titles (full length films or short films) for us to check out. Thankies! rabbit2

Taking things for granted can lead to uncertain choices Hearts can be broken but a soul can be shattered Everyone makes decisions, but it’s the choices that lead us though life Believe in yourself and you can do anything Live your life your own way. Another day is around the corner. So sit back and enjoy today Clever people are everywhere, but clever choices are rare Knowledge isn’t everything. It’s how you use it. Reality may bite you in the neck, but fantasy allows you to bite back. Only strength and trust can lead us to what we believe in Soar to the stars and you may reach you goals Everything has a reason for happening. Soul searching may be tough, but it pays off in the end.

I celebrate myself, and I sing myself, And every flower that grows in my garden, Will grow in yours as well. For every key leads to my heart. I hear the voice of my ancestors, Yet I drown out their deafening cries. My time had not yet come to an end, I feel I have still not been born. My blood, it flows through the veins of a dragon, A mystical creature whose home is a child’s mind. I walk down the road of life, The stones and branches block my endless journey. My destination is still a mystery, But the way is in my heart.

*nosebleeds* Really, I loved it so much~ I have to share this >//

Welcome here Choukoish! I hope u have a great time and enjoy your staying!

From non Asian BL Dramas I like "The Wedding Banquet" [Hsi yen] it's comedy directed by Ang Lee (the director of Brokeback Mountain) :msn_red_fox 6

Hai hai WELCOME TO THE FORUM Enjoy your day here Yokoso nee :leaf12:

rabbit8 I'm in awe. He's soooo amazingly gorgeous! I love the pose and his expression. He's just so sexy without seeming to realize just how sexy he is :banhbao45:

I like Ryuu's braid a lot. It fits him. Kenta's eyes are perfect *.* I'd prefer his hair a bit longer, though. At least touching his shoulders. I don't think I said before but I find their pose really sweet. It's like they are actually posing for you and you took a photo (: And I liked how you added Kenta grabbing Ryuu's wrist. It gives a nice final touch. :5yoyo34:

I just bought Salem's Lot by Stephen King and I can't wait to read it!!! I love all of Stephen King's works

my sister is going to outstation tomorrow....yay~~~~~freedom....I'm FREE~~~~~~~~ and i'm dye my blond hair back to black and cut it..a lil bit short hohoho..

Kenta I glared at the man across the counter. “What the fuck you mean I gotta pay?” “You want to see one of my escorts you have to pay. No one sees them for free.” “You gotta be fucking kidding me.” I felt like punching the overdressed piece of shit. He was smiling at me. “Well you know . . . I could put you to work if you are needing job. You’ve got a great-“ “You wanna die fucker?” “Ahem . . .” He backed up a step eyeing the blade that was now in my hand. “You don’t have to resort to that kind of thing. I was only offering you a job.” “I’m gonna make this real simple. I just want to talk to them. Okay? Talk.” “Okay . . . just put the knife away.” Flipping the blade shut I stepped back. Why didn’t people ever do what I asked them to the first time? It would make things so much easier. “Follow me and please don’t scare them, they’ve had enough issues lately.” I frowned. That didn’t sound good. “What’s been going on?” “The last couple of weeks we’ve had some ‘incidents’ with our escorts getting mishandled by clients.” “Don’t you have bouncers for that kinda shit?” He glanced back at me as we walked down the narrow hall toward the back of the building. “Of course we do, but the boys never once said anything. It wasn’t until another client complained of bruises on the boys that I found out.” “Someone was hurting them and they were too scared to say anything?” I tried to ignore the sounds coming from some of the curtained rooms we were passing. “Yes, that’s why I was reluctant to let you see them.” “I fucking get it. I’m here to find out who that fucker is, not hurt them.” He stopped at a door and turned to look at me, his eyes narrowing. “Are you really with the Kobayashi?” I pulled back my sleeve to show him the tattoo. He nodded, pressing his lips together for a moment before opening the door. The room wasn’t very bright, the kinda lighting Ryuu called ambient or something. There were a couple of couches facing each other. The boys who’d been sitting on them scrambled to their feet as we entered. “This is Arakaki Kenta, he just needs to ask you a few questions.” One of the younger looking guys stepped forward and held my gaze. “I’m Erizawa Hidemichi, I will speak for all of us here. May we speak privately?” I glanced back at their boss who nodded. He led the two of us to an abandoned looking office. I sat on the corner of the desk while Erizawa dusted off a chair. He waited until the door clicked shut then turned to look at me. “I’m glad you are here. The other day when Fuji-san tried to turn him away I thought things were going to get violent.” “Who? What’s the fucker’s name?” “I only know his first name, Naoki. Last time he brought a friend with him. ” I raised my eyebrows, waiting for him to continue. He coughed and squirmed in his seat before getting up and pacing in front of me. "They ordered the usual, drinks and a show. I had one of the other boys help me. Though they didn't really seem all that interested in the strip tease, mostly talking with each other and drinking." I held up a hand stopping him. "What did they talk about, it could be important." “They were talking about this band that Naoki used to be part of or used to date a member from. Naoki was really upset talking about it, saying how the singer had ruined his life and he wanted revenge. They were pretty drunk by that time. I’d been keeping their drinks topped off to avoid them getting violent. Naoki’s friend calmed him down, saying he’s got a plan, that he knew how to make them all suffer for ruining his life.” He stopped and looked at me before sinking back down into his seat. “I know what we do isn’t the most glamorous thing, but I do enjoy making people happy. But these guys . . . there was something totally different about them.” “What did Naoki’s buddy look like?” I need more information if I was going to figure this out. “This new guy . . . he’s not fully Japanese, he looked part African maybe. He was tall, very muscular, and I would have found him attractive if not for his aura of menace. Naoki scares me, but this guy terrified me. I’ve never been so nervous around clients before and we have yakuza in here all the time.” He paused for a moment thinking. “I never heard his name but he had this scar running across his stomach from one side to the other.” Erizawa demonstrated running his hand across his midsection just above his navel. A chill ran through me and I suddenly felt sick. There was only one person who fit that description. “Rame . . . his name is Obuchi Rame.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os2z_CkhNs8 Hello Takumi-kun lovers! You might be wondering why am I posting another Pure trailer. You might think it's redundant but technically yeah...at first glance. But this is important because the other Pure trailer did not English sub some of the texts that were on the screen, just the dialogs. Also the most important thing the one who posted this on YouTube has given details regarding the English sub so we can expect it to be happening by June. So exciting, ne? As soon as they get the RAW video of this Hollyhock Subs will start working on the English sub. Yes, Hollyhock Subs, the same people who subbed the other 3 Takumi-kun movies.

Ryuu I came awake fully as Kenta sat up. Yawning I stretched and rolling over tried to focus on the clock. “It’s not that late. We’ve got plenty of time before practice.” “Sora and Hasu are already here.” He grumbled as he got up. “So, its not like they don’t know that we sleep together.” “That’s not the fucking point Ryuu. Anyway, I’ve got to go do some shit today. Don’t wait up for me.” Perplexed, I lay in the bed watching as he got dressed. Something seemed off, but I wasn’t sure if it was just me being overly sensitive. He came back to the bed, dark eyes nearly hidden behind his hair. Leaning down he gave me a quick kiss. “I’ll call you later. Don’t lay around all day.” *** "This seriously isn't working guys!" Akira sighed running a hand through his hair. “We aren’t getting anywhere with this song. I think we need to take a break or just stop for today.” "That's an idea." Sora yawned as he put his guitar away. "So are we stopping for today?" Hasu raised his eyebrows looking at each of them. I shrugged and waved a hand at them from where I was looking over the score sheet. "Might as well." "Cool! I'm getting a snack." Sora sighed once Hasu left and Akira went over patting his arm. "Everything ok?" "Yeah, it's just . . . his birthday is next month and I still haven’t figured out what to get him." "You’ll think of something, Sora. Reiko and I are going shopping for a gift next week, why don’t you come with us." Sora shook his head as he started for the door. "No, thanks though, I’ll think of something. If anything I’ll just take him to dinner. " I didn’t look up from the music as the door shut so I was a little surprised to hear Akira’s question. I’d thought everyone had left. "Was Kenta coming over tonight?" That wasn’t something I wanted to talk about right now. Kenta had been coming over less and less the last few weeks. He still texted or called me every day but it was starting to feel like he was just checking in on me, not actually concerned. "No, he's helping at the bar tonight and Suke needs him tomorrow so he’s staying at his place tonight." "He's been gone every night this week though." The papers crumpled in my hand and I forced down the sudden hurt welling up. "He . . . comes home when he can. We've actually been talking about him moving in." It was a flat out lie. The most we’d talked about was work and the band. Akira raised an eyebrow at me, clearly not believing me. "Ryuu. . . What's wrong?" "Hmm . . . oh nothing, just this song is bugging me. I've never had so much trouble with a song before." I looked back down, gathering up the loose sheets and smoothing out the crumpled ones. Akira walked over to stand next to me the concern in his eyes all too evident. "Are you sure that's all it is? You've been kinda quiet all day." I turned to him the papers clutched to my chest. "Yeah. I guess I'm just missing him. He's been gone a lot lately. He's been getting called to help the clan too with some minor stuff." "Jiro said he-never mind." Akira stepped away and started for the door, I almost reached out to stop him wanting to know what he’d been going to say. He looked back at me. “Don’t worry, alright Ryuu. I’m sure that whatever he’s busy with he’s missing you too.” After everyone went home I headed back to the studio to work on the song. It was really starting to bother me that I hadn’t got a decent track laid for the week. It was going to throw off our release schedule. Putting my headphones on I listened to the tracks we’d recorded earlier. That’s when it hit me. The music sounded great. It was me. My singing was off. When I took the vocal track out it sounded amazing. Sighing I set my headphones on the desk and leaned back. Maybe Kenta being gone so much was affecting me more than I wanted to admit. Maybe I should ask him to move in. I sat up realizing something. I didn’t know where Kenta lived. How had I known him this long without ever once going to his place? Maybe it was time to correct that. He was always over here and I didn’t want him to think that I didn’t care about his life beyond what I saw every day. Grabbing my phone I called Jiro. It wasn’t even midnight yet so he was probably still awake. He was. “What’s wrong Ryuu?” “Umm, actually I had a question for you . . . do you have Kenta’s address?” There was a long pause. “No, I don’t.” “What? Really?” “Yeah . . . he’s never let anyone go to his place. I think the only person who actually knows is Hayate.” “Oh . . .” “Ryuunosuke, is something wrong? Do you need to get ahold of Kenta? He’s helping Suke interrogate someone right now but I can get him-“ “No, its fine. Do you have Hayate’s number?” “Yes, just a sec.” I took it down and said goodbye. Sitting back down I stared at the number. Why would Kenta keep where he lived a secret from everyone? I knew he made good money. Not that you could ever tell by looking at him. Maybe he was embarrassed about it. He just never seemed to care about material possessions, at least outside of his motorcycle. Well I would just have to surprise him.

Kenta I spent the rest of the day tracking down the rest of the leads. Oddly things were starting to point back to the gay bar. “Yeah, the owner was complaining that one of the customers keeps roughing up his escorts.” I frowned listening to the bartender as I sipped at my coke. No rum, unlike Suke. Can’t stand the stuff. This guy was pretty good. I didn’t put the flourishes into my pouring like he did. Maybe if I did I’d get better tips. Or tips at all. Reiko was about the only person that fucking tipped me. “Got a name?” “Nah, you know how they are about client confidentiality.” “What?” “Confidentiality, you know . . . privacy?” “Oh . . . yeah that makes sense.” He shook his head at me a strange look on his face and went back to wiping out glasses. “Anyway, if you need info that bad you should talk to the escorts.” “Fuck no.” “What? You got something against fags?” He raised an eyebrow at me and I almost laughed in his face. “No. Not exactly.” I set my drink down looking at it for a moment. “You heard anything about a guy named Obuchi Rame?” He set the glass down carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Word has it that he made parole.” “Yeah I’d heard that too. Anyone saying anything?” “Not yet but . . . he was only out of juvie for a month before he violated his parole last time.” I grunted. I knew that much. “Yeah, he went to the big boy prison after that.” “What’s your connection with him?” I picked my coke up and took a long slow drink before setting it down and looking up at the man. “He was my cell mate in juvie.” “Oh . . . Oh! Shit man I had a buddy who was in with you guys. Oda? He said that fucker had a sadistic streak, tried to rape his cellmate and almost got gutted. That wasn’t you . . . was it?“ “It wasn’t like that.” Better lie now or my rep was shot to hell and back. “We didn’t get along and I ended up in isolation after a fight with him. The gutting part’s right.” “Shit man.” He shook his head focusing on the pitcher he was filling with beer. He handed it off to a waiter and looked back at me. “So what are you doing out here? Don’t like your new job?” “Huh?” “The bodyguard thing.” “Oh, no that’s easy. The band is fun. They are the biggest fucking dorks you’ve ever met for being rock stars. It’s all the crazy ass fan girls that get on my nerves. Sometimes I think being a yakuza is safer.” He laughed at that and we talked for a bit longer about nothing much. I’d just finished my coke and was getting ready to pay when his eyes narrowed as he looked up and over my shoulder. I instantly tensed, my hand sliding down to my hip, my fingers brushing over the sheath were my knife was hidden. He slowly inclined his head while at the same time moving away from me. “You might want to move.” I spun around, crouching low. An arm swept through the air where I had been just a second ago. I had a quick glance at a dark suit with a white shirt. Lashing out I slammed my fist into his side. He fell back but there were three more waiting. Four dark suits and then I spotted the cream colored suit behind them. Shit. Another gang? But who? No time. I side stepped a lunge but that brought me within range of the other guy. I blocked the punch and landed one of my own. He grunted and staggered back crashing into a table. “Oi!!! Take it outside shit heads!” Like there was time for that. Who the fuck were these guys? Most gangs knew better than to just attack a Kobayashi. I dodged a fist while knocking down a kick aimed at my stomach. Shit! These guys weren’t fighting fair. At this rate . . . fuck! I tried to move back but the bar was in the way. A foot slammed into my chest and I bounced off the bar and directly into a punch. Shit that hurt, my back throbbing as I tried to take a breath. Flinging up an arm, I tried to block the next punch only to realize too late it was a distraction as I was tackled from the side. Stars burst all around me as my head cracked against the bar. After that I didn’t feel a whole lot, just vague impressions of movement and the sound of voices. Then someone was hauling me up and I blinked several times realizing I was being drug outside. Fuck! I tried to pull away and to my complete horror I was bodily picked up and thrown over someone’s shoulder, a bony shoulder that cut into my stomach and made breathing even more difficult. “Oi! What the hell are you doing?” That was the bartender. What did he care? Fuck this hurt. I couldn’t even find the strength to lift my head. It was pounding so hard it was making me dizzy. Then we were outside. The sudden brightness too much, I squeezed my eyes shut and just tried to breathe. “He out?” “Not sure.” “Put him down here.” I was dumped on the ground and then propped against a wall. I really wished I could fucking snap out of it. I wanted to rip these guys apart. “You sure this is the right guy? He’s kinda small to be-“ “No it’s him. See.” There were fingers on my arm and it was lifted, my sleeve pulled back. The small dragon tattoo on the inside of my wrist was the only one I had. “Kobayashi’s crest. He’s one of their enforcers. Boss’ description of him was dead on too.” Boss? So it was another gang. I choked as water was suddenly splashed in my face. Oddly it seemed to snap me out of the daze I’d been in. “I’m gonna fucking kill you fuckers.” I glared up at them, and forced myself to my feet, using the wall for support. There were five of them. Four dark suits and the cream. They all had their hair slicked back and dark glasses on. It was the police batons and brass knuckles that caught my attention more than anything. Cream suit stepped forward and taking his glasses off looked down his fat nose at me. “We are just delivering a message. Stay in your territory and back off the questions.” “Fuck you.” He smirked at me. “No, I think it would be the other way around.” He stepped forward and before I could move had grabbed me around the neck. He slammed me back against the wall. “You will lay off or I’ll tell Obuchi where to find you.” Something must have showed on my face cause he laughed. A low nasty sound. “Yeah . . . didn’t think you’d like that. He’s looking for you, ya know.” I felt my eyes widen. A very different kind of weakness hit me and breathing was suddenly much harder than it should have been. Just thinking about him had my heart pounding. He was looking for me? Then Ryuu was in serious danger. Fat nose was still talking. “So, just stick to following around those fags you work for in that band and stop with all the questions.” I grabbed his wrist and twisted sharply, ripping his hand off my neck. He yelped and had to turn to keep me from snapping his wrist. “They ain’t fags and if you know whose got it out for them you better fucking tell me before I break your fucking arm.” “I ain’t telling you shit, cocksucker!” I twisted harder and then with my foot shoved him into the two guys who were coming up fast. There was a short scuffle, too short and ended with me bleeding on the pavement. Fuck I was not having a good day. *** “Kenta . . . come on man . . . Kenta! Shit!” What was Hayate so pissed about? “Fuck! Isao I’m going to need your help.” I was being lifted. What the fuck was going on? I’d had enough of being carried around today. “Shit Kenta you need to eat more. Never mind Isao, I’ve got him. Did you find his bike?” “Yeah both tires are slashed and somebody keyed the shit out of the paintjob.” “Fuck.” I got my eyes open. “Finally!” Hayate was looking down at me his eyebrows nearly meeting over his nose. “Shit man, who fucked you up?” “Put me the fuck down.” It hurt to talk, my jaw throbbing in time with my heart beat. I didn’t like that as soon as he put me down I felt like I was going to fall right back on my ass. “Some stupid gang thought they could imitate me.” “You mean intimidate.” I glared at Isao. Why did he always have to correct me? “Yeah whatever.” “Intimidate you. Why?” I shrugged and winced. My shoulder was sore too. Probably from slamming into the wall. “Guess they didn’t like me drinking in their bar. What the hell are you doing here anyway?” “The bartender called Jiro, said you’d gotten taken down and drug out. He sent us over to check on you. Good thing we did. You look like shit, Arakaki.” I looked away from Isao feeling like he was looking right though me. “We’ll load up your bike in my truck and take you home. You got money for new tires?” “Yeah. Just take me to Ryuu’s.” I watched while the two of them got my bike loaded into the back of Isao’s Nissan. I was going to kill those guys next time I saw them. It was going to cost me the next months pay to fix my bike.
