EPISODE 8

Eiji the persistant and the successor to the throne

 

“Yuki, have you seen Mine and Akira?” Yuri asked. “I have looked everywhere for them. Are they making out somewhere and not telling us?” Yuri asked walking into his friend’s room.

 

“Eiji took them.” Yuki said pointing up.

 

Yuri cringed. “Those poor souls, should we save them, never mind that, it would mean seeing insane people and I have had my fair share of them today.”

 

“Jerk!” Yuki said closing the door. “What do you think we should do?” Yuri asked.

 

“We do nothing at all, whenever he gets tired of them he will just set them free.”

 

“Um, hey guys.” Mine said opening the door. Akira slowly walked in and watched as Yuri and Yuki stared at them in disbelief.

 

“Oh lord!.” Yuri said

 

“Where is Eiji?” Yuki asked.

 

“He is eating our food.” Akira said pointing behind them.

 

“GODDAMNIT!” Yuki yelled at the stop of his lungs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We’re not giving in to your fucking demands.” Yuki said kicking the sofa that Eiji was sleeping on. His clothes were draped over the sofa leaving him lying there naked.

 

“Is he really asleep?” Mine asked walking over to Eiji. She lifted one eyelid than the other and froze.

 

“He has different colored eyes. One blue and one green. That is sooooo weird.”

 

“It’s pretty dominant where I come from.” Eiji said lifting one eyelid up. He got up and everyone started freaking out.

 

“Put some damn clothes on.” Yuki yelled.

 

“No sir. I am going to walk around the whole station NUDE, because of your laziness.”

 

“I am not going to take directions from someone who doesn’t even work here.” Yuki said shaking his head.

 

“Well I guess I will walk around this place naked then.” Eiji said leaving the couch’s presence.

“Today on Three O Clock Happy Hour.” Yuki began. “We have the regular.”

 

“YUKI, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE CRACKERS AT IN THIS PLACE, I’M FREAKING HUNGRY?” Eiji asked walking in front of the camera naked.

 

“STOP THE RECORDING.” Yuki screamed. He went up to Eiji “What the hell possessed you into doing weird shit while we are recording.”

 

Eiji put his hand on his nose and started closing one eye, opening it, then vice versa. He started doing it rapidly and Yuki ran away.

 

“That always kills him.” Eiji said laughing

 

Cree sighed and pulled out a cigarette.

 

“Please stop this at once.” Akira said glaring at Eiji.

 

Eiji pushed Akira. “Make me bastard.” Suddenly Eiji met the rage of Akira’s fist. Eiji fell face first into the ground.

 

“Holy crap!” Mine screamed. “You killed Eiji!” She looked around the room quickly. “What should we do now?”

 

“EIJI.” Yuri screamed. “We finally finished the schedule so now your ugly ass can leave our presense.” Yuri stopped and glared at Akira and Mine. “Who did this, and how are we going to get rid of the body?”

 

“Can’t we just return him to HeadShot?” Akira asked.

 

Yuki cringed at Akira’s idea.

 

“Cree,” Yuki began, “You get Itsumi and Skah and throw Eiji back into his pen.”

 

Cree slowly got up. “You owe me big time bastard.” Cree said slowly dragging Eiji by his feet to the elevator.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“WOW THIS IS HEADSHOT.” Akira yelled. Cree told him to shut up.

 

“Who is here?” A loud booming voice asked. They suddenly heard footsteps rushing towards them.

 

“FETAL POSITION EVERYONE” Eiji screamed. Suddenly a big figure was towering over them. He had white hair that was longer than Tennosuke’s and he was far more muscular than him. He had an evil glare. What was odd though, was that he wore normal clothes. For such a distinguished magazine Akira and Mine expected him to wear professional clothes.

 

“Daisuke Ryuga” Cree said. “Cross his path and you are basically dead.”

 

Daisuke glared at Cree. “Why did you come?” his booming voice asked.

 

“We are here to give you the idiot back.” Cree said. “We also have the schedule.” He quickly handed it to Daisuke.

 

“What exactly does Eiji do here?” Mine asked. “Is he really that important to you guys, because no one speaks very highly of him?”

 

Daisuke chuckled. “Eiji is basically the best photographer in all of Ameyawa.”

 

“But yet, you call him an idiot, should you not hold with with higher esteem?” Mine asked.

 

“Eiji lacks in self control.” Daisuke said.

“Today on Three O Clock Happy Hour we have breaking news.” Yuki began. He had a solemn look on his face. “The head/director of NewsChannel 34 has died. We know go to Itsumi for details.” Suddenly the screen switched to Itsumi. She was standing outside Channel 34.

 

“The cause of death is very gruesome Yuki.” Itsumi said.

 

“How gruesome was it?” Yuki asked getting closer to the monitor.

 

“He was getting acupuncture and he fell answering the door.”

 

“Holy crap!” Yuki yelled. “Did he at least have some time to live?”

 

“He was pronounced dead when he landed. There is blood everywhere.” Itsumi sighed. “It looks like a murder.”

 

“Who is going to be the new head/director Itsumi?”

 

“We don’t know yet as of now. Right now they are having trouble finding out who should take his place.”

 

“We’ll keep us posted Itsumi.”

 

“I sure will Yuki.” Itsumi said. She motioned Skah to turn the camera off.

 

“So who do you think is going to be the new head of Channel 34?” Itsumi asked.

 

“Dante will.” Skah said staring at the building. “Censor, Tesla, and Shiki do not stand a chance.

 

“I have never met Dante before.” Itsumi said putting up the camera equipment in Yuki’s jeep. “What is he like?” She turned to face her friend. He was staring at her hard.

 

“He is the devil himself. Your brother should know that very well.” Skah said helping Itsumi into the car

Tennsosuke sped off towards a sedan. He had the camera strapped to the seat behind him and every minute he would adjust it to the perfect angle.

 

The sedan he was after had a corrupt lawyer that embezzled tons of charity money. Tennosuke was going to get to the bottom of this. He finally caught up to the sedan and with all his might broke the window. The lawyer freaked out and swerved the car.

 

“Is it true that you embezzled the money from the charities?” Tennosuke yelled.

 

“And what if it is true?” The lawyer sneered.

 

“Just answer the question.” Tennosuke said pressing the record button.

 

“I did embezzle the mon-e”

 

“MIND YOU OWN BUSINESS TENNO-CHAN” A voice yelled. Suddenly a red bike was alongside Tennosuke’s moped. Tennosuke took a good look at the driver. He had black leather jacket on and short black hair the same length as Tennosuke’s He was also physically built the same. He slowly turned towards Tennosuke. His hazel eyes stopped Tennosuke dead in his tracks.

 

“Dante.” Tennosuke said speeding up. Before he knew it the red bike caught up.

 

“Why are you here Tenno-chan?” Dante asked.

 

“I am doing my job.” Tennosuke yelled. He turned around to see the sedan still behind him. He turned around and froze.

 

Dante was wielding a metal bat

 

“CHANNEL 18 DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOB!” Dante screamed. He swung the bat connecting to Tennosuke’s shoulder. He let go of the bike and before he knew it, he was in the air going towards the sedan.

 

Seconds later he hit the sedan.

“I never thought we had negative relations with Channel 34.” Itsumi said

 

“Censor and Dante hate us with a passion.” Skah said

 

“Well Censor is overly charismatic, from what I have heard, he makes enemies really easy.” Itsumi said getting into the car.

 

Skah glared at the building some more. Itsumi pressed the horn on the jeep motioning him to get inside. He reluctantly got inside and Itsumi sped off.

 

“He was the one who also did all the media attention on The White Dragons. He aired footage and landed Tennosuke’s boss in jail.”

 

“How do you know about this?” She asked cocking her head to the side.

 

“He told me all about it one day.”

 

“Why the hell does he not tell me?” Itsumi asked pissed.

 

“He doesn’t want to worry you.”

 

Itsumi sighed and slammed on the gas pedal and they sped away from the Channel 34 building.

 

“Channel 18 are such nosy bastards.” A man said watching as the jeep drove away. He had black framed glasses on. He looked behind him “Dante, how should we deal with those idiots?” The man named Dante walked towards the other man.

 

“Censor, they are not our problem.” Dante said pointing to the other side. They were looking down at Ameyawa 30 floors up. “This man is our current problem.” He said pointing to Vinyl who was looking straight up at them.
