12:00 am - Central Japan to East Japan
Kaoru leaves a few bills on the table and his men immediately stand up after him. They walk out the café and take a seat in the slick black car.
Hyde starts up the engine and follows the navigation system while Die breaks the silence of the vehicle, “Are we really going to see a psychic, Kaoru-san?”
The leader nods and replies, “Of course. Kisaki-san always has great tips. Maybe we can get something out of him.”
“Like the whereabouts of our rivals?” Die asks, quirking a brow.
“Perhaps, but we can’t worry about those fools.”
Within an hour, Hyde parks in front of the small fortune shop. They all step out, allowing Gackt and Hyde to enter before their leader. Kaoru approaches the counter, noticing a bright pink haired woman observing his stock on the shelves.
He clears his throat and says, “Excuse me.” The salesperson turns around to face them with a slightly nervous smile.
“Good afternoon! How may I help you?” he greets, his voice clearly revealing that he is indeed a man.
“I’m looking for a certain man. He goes by the name -“
“Yura-sama, nice to meet you,” a light blonde haired man suddenly says, appearing from the royal blue curtains. “You must be Kaoru-san. I was expecting to see you today.”
Kaoru nods and follows Yura-sama to the cozy back room. They take a seat around the small table with a crystal ball decorating the center.
“I assume Kisaki-san suggested me to you, ne?” he says, sitting at the slightly larger chair as the older man nods. “And what would you like to find out?”
“I want to know what’s going to happen in our future. Will I be taking over the empire once Yoshiki-sama passes away? I want to know everything,” Kaoru replies.
The psychic nods and takes the leader’s hand, then closes his eyes. “Your hand is so strong, but your heart is very weak. Love will turn against you for your sin that obviously stands out to the public, but not to you.”
Kaoru blinks as his hand is release and the blonde moves to the next person. “Gackt-san…” he begins, “Your worrisome personality will be the end of you.” He takes Hyde’s hand next and says, “Cherish the precious memories you have with you companions and your family.”
“Die-san…you have a simple mind and it will lead you to something harmful, but passionate,” Yura-sama continues, finally go to the last member. “Kyo-san, your love is stronger and will only grow stronger, even though you’re not showing it.”
Kyo bites his lip at the response and takes his hand away from the psychic.
“That was a bit pointless,” Kaoru mutters under his breath, before standing up. Yura-sama watches them get up and advises, “Be careful of your actions. Everything has a consequence.”
“Yeah, yeah,” the leader says, leading everyone out of the shop.
1:00 pm - Central Japan to West Japan
Driving in silence, Hide-Zou glances in at his leader sitting in the back seat calmly. “Asagi-san, how are we gonna do this?” he asks.
“The usual,” Asagi simply answers, “but don’t get distracted this time.”
The brunette sighs and nods a bit, slightly remembering their last encounter in the old apartment building.
The car slows down to a stop and the driver and Kirito step out. Hide-Zou opens the trunk and picks up an umbrella, before going to the passenger’s back door. Miyavi steps out while the brunette pops the umbrella open for their leader. Asagi gets under the umbrella and lead them inside.
As they walk up the stairs to the second floor and down the hall, they can hear the various noises coming through a few of the doors. A woman moans loudly while a man screams curses in another room. Asagi pauses in front a discolored door and let’s Kirito knock on the dying wood.
“Come in,” a giggly voice responds.
Hide-Zou opens the door, then walks in as everyone else follows behind. Asagi clears his throat as he notices the pink and blonde haired man sitting on a pile of colorful pillows. He looks up at the group of men and takes the cigarette away from his overly pierced lip.
“Ah, Asagi-san, you came back for a little more,” the man greets.
A light brunette walks into the room and stops a few steps away from the doorframe of the kitchen, holding a cup of tea. His eyes widen a bit, then he narrows his eyes at his roommate. “Why didn’t you tell me we were having guests!?!” he scolds.
The other man turns his head and replies, “I didn’t know they would be here so earlier.”
“Damn! Now I need to change,” he mumbles turning away.
“No, that’s alright. We’re not staying long. I only came here for a couple things,” Asagi breaks into the conversation.
BAN smiles and looks at the other. “Go get the stuff,” he says quickly. He looks back up the intimidating leader and asks, patting the vibrant pillows beside him, “Would you like to a seat? It’s really comfortable down here~”
“No thanks. We have other things to do.”
The pink and blonde haired man nods and notices his roommate enter the scene again with a package. He hands over the medium size box to Kirito. He digs in his pocket and slips Hide-Zou a business card. “If you ever need anything, just ask for Ryosuke,” the light brunette says with a suggestive smirk, before walking back in the kitchen.
“Everything should be in there. I should be getting a new shipment in at the end of the week. Oh! I almost forgot,” BAN says, standing up from the pile and disappearing into his bedroom. He comes back out and hands Asagi a small plastic baggie with blue pills in it. “They gave me these last time. It’s a new drug. All the rage in Europe nowadays with teens.”
“Isn’t it any good?” Asagi questions, examining the contents.
“It’s amazing. Even has a hint of blueberry in it. I’m sure they’ll send me more to pass on to you. You’re still number one,” he chuckles.
“Arigato, BAN-san,” he murmurs giving a slight bow.
The group of men turn around and they walk out the apartment.
