Chapter Twenty
Disclaimer: Blah blah Opium, blah.
Author’s Notes: So, we know about the sequel, and I’m still so excited. It’s in progress. It has been, actually, since we finished this story. Anyways, I digress. This chapter brings everyone else into play. Let’s see what happens!

Chapter Twenty
~~~
Keiko was wandering around the upstairs corridors when she caught sight of Tohma and Taki. Tohma looked like he wished he had ear plugs, and was continually nodding at whatever Taki was saying. He reminded Keiko of a bobble-head.
She paused, thinking. She needed help finding Kenji... no word from Haido or luck on her part...
"Seguchi-san! Aizawa-san!" she called out, rushing over. Tohma stopped, looking quite relieved at the interruption.
"Yes, Takashi-san, how can I help you?" Tohma asked. "Also, I'm sorry to hear about Chiba-san."
"Yeah, fine, thanks," she said, Tohma raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, but I can't find Kenji and this place is fricken' huge, so I need help."
For once, the expression that crossed Taki's face as Kenji's name was mentioned was not one of disgust. Honest surprise rested there, and then, despite himself, he frowned in what was almost worry.
Only over the lead singer, of course. Never concern over Kenji himself.
"How did you lose him?" They were on a full-day break! What was there for Kenji to protest against? There was a practically unlimited stock of coffee in the break room, tracks that could easily be worked over, things to do...
Unless he'd gotten lost on his way to the studio, Taki couldn't begin to conceive what had happened.
And at last, the exasperation rose.
Keiko started biting her lips, not looking like she was quite aware she was doing it. It was a nervous habit that she had. She didn't feel too nervous, but she did know telling would be wrong. It would upset not only her manager, but mostly likely her boss too.
Not good. She kinda liked her job...
"Well," she drawled, rocking back and forth as she shifted her weight. "We went to go talk to an old band member... we found something... quite disturbing out" she locked eyes with Taki briefly. "And, well... it kinda sent him over the edge."
Tohma's face stayed neutral, but he nodded slightly. "I see. Aizawa-san will search with me downstairs, please continue here and upstairs."
In the meantime, Haido and Kenji were just a few floors below them, oblivious to little else but the heated embrace they were involved in. It didn't cross his mind that someone may be using this room soon, or that they would get walked in on. It was the farthest thing from his mind.
The hand under Kenji's shirt continued upwards, just enjoying the hot skin available for his play until reason came down upon them later. He used his hand and upper body to force Kenji down on his back. He just couldn't help himself. It was one of those out of control moments.
Haido was so used to control, quiet kisses, sneaking, cautious touches... this was so... so...
Refreshing.
Taki's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Old band member, and that look... He had to wonder, and he didn't like the conclusions he was coming to. He nodded in agreement to Tohma's decision, obviously not paying much attention to the conversation.
Old band member. Disturbing... and it sent Kenji over the edge? It was suspicious enough, but he had nothing to go on. Nothing save for the idea that they had no business snooping around in old band members' pasts.

Author’s Notes: Now we’re sparking some heat!
Keiko shows us a new side in this one. True caring for Kenji. Deep down, she’s very worried about his mindset after hearing what they did from Ken. Since he’s so sporadic, and his moods of anger, one could assume, would be something fierce. Also, she doesn’t like lying. She’s opposed to it greatly. Smudging the lines a bit… if she has to, she has to, but if you lie to her and she finds out, she’ll come back and make sure your mouth can’t work ever again. And she’ll go into a slump for a while if she, for some reason, had to lie.
Like… she didn’t do her homework back in high school and lied to a parent. Or something. She’s surprisingly respectful on the inside
Stay tuned and find out what everyone’s going to do!
Drop us a line!
PS: Silverone: Kel was one of the writers, the second writer wasn’t me, but another friend of ours! I made friends with Kel and her through that story. It’s been… almost two years since then, I think. Amazing how a story can change your life, huh?
