[Yep. Most of you have seen this already, but that damn book appears on your screens this early morning, folks. After a moment, it pulls away to reveal Yu yet again, curled up on the couch in front of the TV in the living room of the Dojima house, about ready to take advantage of this horrible concoction of troll-ness.]

[He just got home from work, so he really has no idea what's going on with the book, other than even more people are flipping out about it than the last one. He hasn't even given the cover much thought (though that blonde on there looks kind of familiar...). Yu pauses once to clear his throat and, as he promised Minato, set a certain ring tone on his phone from home on repeat. Once his prep was completed, he opened to a few random chapters, scanning the contents before he began reading.]

I knew there would be trouble as soon as I saw the beads fly open, banging hard enough against the wall to snap more than a few off of their chains. As I expected, Yusokue strode into the room, silver hair blazing in the red light of the den, though that was nothing compared to the fire smouldering in his dark eyes. I shrank back in my forced position at the werekitsune prince's feet, at that moment knowing what true rage was, as the Junes Prince practically radiated with pure, unbridled hate.

Kenji, of course, mistook my action for something else, absently reaching down and petting my hair, like I was some pet kitten instead of a human being. I fought against the urge to make a face; when would he understand that I cared for Yusokue more than him?

The Prince of Junes stopped just before Kenji, glaring down on him with the fierceness of his stormy eyes.

"You killed him, and now you dare to think you can steal Mimini from me?"

Kenji rolled his eyes at that, and I didn't have to turn around and see the other werekitsunes of his pack shifting restlessly, just waiting for an excuse to tear Yusokue to pieces.

"You ain't doin' a very good job of keepin' her," Kenji replied, sounding bored. "As for your little fuck buddy, from what I saw, it took killin' him for you to even notice him anyway. He was a waste of space."

I didn't need to look to know that Yusokue was seething, hands clutching and unclutching as he fought against the urge to retaliate.

"He was not a waste," he hissed, the venom in his voice making me shudder, reminding me of the tone of our first time, and how seductive he had been back then.

"Oh get bit," Kenji groaned, hauling himself up from his throne. I could still see the sweat glistening off his rock hard chest and sides from the workout he had that morning. It was then that I also realized just how massive he was, considering how he was towering over Yusokue. "That brat meant nothing to you and you know it. Just like your 'girl' means nothing to you, otherwise you'd be making more of an effort to get her back."

He reached out, shoving Yusokue with enough force to send him to the ground.

"You ain't got the balls to stand against me!" Kenji declared. He reached down then, grabbing Yusokue by the collar of his work apron and hauling him up to his eye level. "You ain't no man."

As I watched the scene play out before me, watching as the two men fought over what they believed in. I looked up, privately fascinated as I wondered what it would be like if their two bare chests were rubbing against each other-- [Yu faltered here a moment, because WOW that escalated quickly!] --their muscular bodies moving to a rhythm only they could hear. Kenji would be the dominate one, reaching down and--

[Okay, no. Yu can't take this anymore, because this is delving into territory that he would much rather avoid, and that Kenji's behavior is reminding him of someone...]

...?!

[He flipped back over to the cover, and caught sight of a faint scar through the heavy photoshop filters. The scar, the hair, Kenji...]

[Through some miracle, Yu managed to keep a straight face as he calmly turned his phone off, returning his attention back to the recording device.]

...excuse me.

[With that... non-excuse he stood up, disappearing from view. After a long pause there is a loud thump, and if one strained their hearing, they may be able to hear the muffled voice of one Yu Narukami, having fallen face first into a pillow before he completely lost his shit.]

[The book broke him. Congratulations, Miss Hanako Ishida, who ever you are, because you got him to the point where he has to struggle not to burst into full on Yukiko-hyena-brand-laughter.]

[Nope, you're not getting a word out of her this time, Yu. Not just yet, anyway. She's a bit too shocked at the crappiness.]

[Somehow. Somehow, Yu manages to compose himself when the COMP starts beeping like crazy with replies.]

I'd say this was the worst novel I've ever heard of, but I've heard worse.

[linefacingforever]

There's worse?

[...well he thought that about the first book too, and that just got topped, so...]

[.......................Well uh.

That sure was a thing.]

[Oh hey there, Tatsuya... who is also in this book if the back cover is any clue. Give him a moment while he makes comparisons.]

[...SNERK.]

...are you sitting down?

[Because he doesn't want to tell you this and make you hurt yourself when you fall over or anything.]

[princessofheart]

[Kairi can't tell whether to laugh or cry... so she's going to do both. Together. Accidentally. On the post.]

[audio]

[linefacingforever]

[...wow, she almost sounded in pain.]

Are you okay?

[thewunderkind]

Wait, where they gonna start fighting?! I wanna know more!

[linefacingforever]

[Yu paused to check, and...]

[...oh, they actually did start fighting. He was almost disappointed.]

There's not much to say beyond that. Yusokue was out numbered.

[text]

[greatseal]

It sounds like things are really heating up for Yusokue!

[guess who is looking forward to reading this book herself?

it may be trashy but it's trashy on just the right level to be hilarious.]

[text]

[linefacingforever]

Definitely.

Looking forward to how this pans out.

[Because this is just so horrible.]

[She's trying to get out a proper reply but nope, there is laughter. LOTS OF IT.]

I can't-!

[Snicker snicker snort!]

[linefacingforever]

[...YOU ARE NOT HELPING RESIST THE URGE TO CRACK UP AGAIN, YUKIKO.]

Are you okay...?

[Breathe, Yukiko. Please breathe.]

[THIS SHOULD BE PRIVATE VOICE BUT LOL NOPE]

[misogynistic]

[Whoops, Adachi's finger slipped. He hadn't meant for his COMP to go off, probably like how Yu hadn't meant to leave the video on.

He can't...he can't breathe from how hard he's laughing. Adachi had the absolute worst laugh to begin with, the kind that carried, the kind that was way, way too sharp. At least it's as unique as Yukiko's hyena laugh, right? There was no way for it to be mistaken for someone else, despite the fact that JYB was in every dub known to man but shut up.]

[Voice]

[linefacingforever]

[...well that's sobering. He knew that laugh very well, and had to stare at his COMP for a moment, his voice coming out in a hushed, surprised whisper.]

Adachi...?

[oathofdevotion]

Is this typical Japanese literature? It's...very different from what I'm used to reading.

[linefacingforever]

Not really. This is just... special.

[pastalishe]

[On one hand, she's fascinated in the way an onlooker is fascinated by a trainwreck. But on the other, she's offended by the sheer principle of reading smut on the Network.]

If you're going to read erotica on the network, you could at least filter it away from the minors.

[video] Hope you don't mind a jack here. XD;;;

[risingshepard]

I'm surprised you're not questioning how writing this atrocious got out into the open.

[Excuse your acquaintance, Cloche, she's kind of slack-jawed at the moment.]

[themortalhalf]

[Nope.]

[He's going back to sleep.]

[Keep on reading trash, Narukami.]

[greatseal]

[Just for that, she's going to try reading her own copy out loud tomorrow.]

[terminalemulation]

The content of modern Hinoto-ri literature is as fascinating as it is, um...



Fascinating.

[lighter_flick]

You said fascinating twice...

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

Yes, thank you, so much, for that.

[linefacingforever]

Something wrong?

[prototype_blues]

It's not that bad.

[linefacingforever]

It gets worse.

[destinedwaters]

[...Oh Light, whhhhhy. She doesn't know if she should laugh cry or burn all of these books. Just whhhhhy.]

TIME FOR NOT HERE SHENANIGANS AGAIN

[risingshepard]

[Burn them. This must not reach the ears of future generations...]

Wait, wait! Who was killed?! I just have to know for... reasons!

[Despite being a writer of sorts, Sasha is not a particularly good judge of what is good writing. (Or, sometimes, a judge of what is good anything.)]

[Video]

[linefacingforever]

Not sure yet...

[Don't mind Yu as he flips through the book, trying to find what all of the fuss was about.]

...looks like one of Yusokue's companions. Airportlo?

[...he wondered which sorry individual that character was based off of.]

[Video]

[capitalbackup]

[Miyako looks rather...baffled by this.

Even the boring textbooks she studied would be better than this...this prose.

So she raise a brow.]

Is that what Hinoto-Ri consider as literature?

[Please say no.]

[Video]

[linefacingforever]

Lately, yes.

[Sorry.]

[Because Nagisa is far, far too embarrassed to look at anyone over the network. And too embarrassed to admit she was listening. She's just not going to look anyone in the face for days after this.]

What was that?!

I can't even - I - why would someone put that in a bookstore?

omfg this is just what i needed to cheer me up holy crap

im tempted to buy this book just to see how bad it gets!!

[linefacingforever]

Have you read the first one yet?

[video]

[feminine_carnivore]

[ Chie is just silent for a few moments. Her face starts out laughing, as she listens. Then as it becomes very clear that Yosuke is the main character (as she hadn't read it before and thought everyone was joking) her face turns to shock. To a horror she never knew existed. The realization that this is real, that there really is a book with sex scenes involving a likeness of Hanamura that people actually like is just too much. ]

I-I-I don't believe this!! This can't be real! Why is this real?! [ And then she just screams for a minute. Also, is that a fit of giggles coming from somewhere off screen? ]

[video]

[linefacingforever]

[...and the best reaction award goes to...]

Because someone has a sick sense of humor?

[More like brilliant sense, but no way he was saying that out loud. Also, Chie, tell Yukiko to breathe.]

[fools_journey]

[ After everything that's happened lately, Minato has been pretty glum, but turning on his comp to hear this? Totally puts him in a better mood, at least for now. He'd clap if his COMP weren't still on his wrist, but he does give Yu a thumbs up and a bit of a very small grin. ]

You're right. That is the perfect music for this sort of thing.

[linefacingforever]

[Yu allowed himself a grin as well.]

Thanks for mentioning adding music. I'll have to remember that for the third book.
