[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.]

[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.~~]

[...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...?

H-Ha... [Adachi took a shuddering breath as he tried sobering himself, because, wow.] Huh... Looks like I accidentally flipped this thing on.

[He fumbled around for a second.

PRIVATE MESSAGE

Because while he had Yu on the line...] But, this Hanako girl really doesn't know how to hide identities, huh? Kenji... [Oh no, he's cackling again. HELP. If only he'd seen the first reading!]

[Accidentally... right. Yu gave the COMP a wary look, but... okay, he kinda couldn't help but smile a little. He's so sorry, Kenj-- Kanji.]>

No, she doesn't.

[Shut up his hand totally slipped.]

K-Ken... Pfttahahahahaa! [Give Adachi a minute.] ...I...ha... O-Oh, wow, my stomach hurts... [Okay, give him more.]

I...ha... I can't say I'm too surprised, though... I mean, I saw the first book's cover... [Or, rather, had fangirls shove it in his face.] She obviously didn't even try, so why try with the second one? Still...

[Okay, he... really can't blame Adachi for losing his shit, considering this was horrible enough that he had to do the same.]

...I'm just worried about when Kanji wakes up and sees this.

[Because wooo... he will be P I S S E D.]

[Adachi tried his damnedest to stop laughing, he really did.]

Yeah, that'll be a problem for her... [He sounded pondering.] I don't know what she was thinking with all that. [She'd deserve anything that happened as a result of all of it, though.]

Maybe she used a pen name... If not... [Of course he was implying that.] ...ah, no, he wouldn't, right?

Kanji's not that kind of person.

[He's not you, Adachi.]

Right...

[GET BENT GET BENT GET BENT GET BENT GET BENT

GET BENT

Point being: nobody sane would want to get anywhere near that kid's bad side. Adachi was going to do his best to avoid him. Hell, he even did it outside Yu's timeline...]

I don't think he would, but that's a pretty bold move on her part. She barely even hid it this time.

She didn't bother to hide it the last time. She was obviously watching Yosuke; she picked up on far too many of his habits.

[...this is seriously weird. The last time he had had a pleasant conversation with Adachi was not long after Nanako had been rescued, where the detective had assured him everything would be okay now.]

[That might become a problem with the police... On one hand, she might come to them, but at the same time... Wow, of course he'd think about it like that. Still, what were the chances of him landing in there?]

Well, Tatsumi-kun is an entirely different story, isn't he? [It...might lead to his advantage, though? Ugh, but-- Nope, nope, nope, the idea even gave him the chills...] Maybe she'll stop the rest of the series entirely... Though, there's no way she could top all that. She'd only... [Oh, damn it, he's laughing again!]

It's a trilogy, and it's popular. I'm sure she'll find something.

[Yu paused...]

...maybe even find room for a detective.

[...he had to stop himself from saying murdering detective.]
