The recording went relatively smooth after that. Yoshiki had no time really to speak to Tori and it was driving her mad as to what he wanted to talk about.
‘Okay,’ Yoshiki waved a hand. ‘We’re done for today.’
‘But it’s only lunch time. ‘Rei stated, surprised.
‘Shush.’ Gackt told her. ‘We’re being released from jail and you want to question it?’
Sugizo and Miyavi laughed. Miyavi had returned to his normal self after the morning’s incident.
‘I want subs.’ Miyavi told no one in particular and headed out of the room.
‘That sounds good,’ Rei stated. ‘Miyavi wait!’ She called and rushed out after him.
‘Thank you.’ Yoshiki stated to Gackt before he could follow Rei out.
Gackt turned to look at Yoshiki a moment. They shared a man to man look and Gackt nodded and left the room behind Rei.
‘You know he’s in love when he’ll go eat subs.’ Sugizo snickered. ‘He can’t stand the stuff.’
‘You should go rescue him then.’ Yoshiki suggested.
Sugizo shook his head. ‘He’s on his own. I’m going home, picking up my daughter and we’re going to the park.’
Yoshiki smiled. ‘Did she like the gift I gave you to give her?’
Sugizo smiled back at Yoshiki. ‘Yes. She loves Uncle Yoshi’s gift.’
Yoshiki laughed. ‘Good. Go. I’ll try to stop by sometime over the weekend to say hi.’
Sugizo nodded and waved a good bye over his shoulder as he left.
Yoshiki sighed a moment.
‘You look tired,’ Tori commented. Staring at him from where she had been sitting all morning.
Yoshiki swiveled in his chair to look at her. ‘Not really. Stressed. I thought this latest incident would surely drive Gackt out.’
‘He’s smarter then that. More pig headed at times, but definitely smarter then that.’ Tori replied smiling.
Yoshiki face became serious, ‘I wanted to talk to you.’
‘Yes, so you said on the phone this morning.’ Tori replied looking completely relaxed in her chair, but a knot of tension had pooled in her spine.
‘I appreciate you being so patient until I could find time to talk to you. Would you follow me to my office?’ He asked.
Tori nodded not trusting her voice. Why was he being so formal? She picked up her briefcase and followed him out.
Yoshiki smiled and lead the way through the building. He opened the office door and let her step in first before closing the door behind them. He gestured to one of the two chairs in front of the desk before walking around behind the desk and sitting in his chair.
Tori sat careful to conceal her nervousness.
‘To start do you have any contracts open at this time?’ Yoshiki asked.
Tori raised a brow. ‘And your reason for asking would be?’
Yoshiki folded his hands in his lap. ‘Humor me.’
Tori shrugged. ‘No I don’t. At this time I have refused all contracted from the theatre and have no personal client contracts open.’
‘Good.’ Yoshiki smiled. ‘It has come to my attention that your organizational skills and your attention for detail is very near perfection.’
‘Of course.’ Tori scoffed. ‘If it needs be done then it should be done right.’
‘Exactly. Which is why I would like you to considered a ten-year contract organizing and managing concerts from bands that run through Extasy Recording Studio.’ Yoshiki responded.
Tori managed not to stutter. ‘The studio is not a label. You would be unable to provide me with detailed information.’
‘There are several bands that come to me directly before requesting anything from anything else including their own labels.’ Yoshiki replied. ‘With you contracted under the Recording Studio I would be able to refer the bands to you for guidance with the concerts.’
‘And what makes you think I would be unable to attract the attention of these bands on my own?’ Tori asked, raising a brow.
‘You may attract a couple on your own to be sure.’ Yoshiki stated, ‘Most definitely the ones that were at the last concert, but I would be offering your services to all the bands that came to me. All the bands.’
‘You don’t live in Japan, You can’t guarantee the contacts.’ Tori responded.
‘But you don’t live in Japan either.’ Yoshiki countered.
Tori frowned but didn’t say anything.
‘Your company is based in Los Angeles. The one you created yourself. I would not limit the bands sent your way to the bands just here at Extasy Japan. You’d have all the bands from Extasy North America as well.’ Yoshiki informed. ‘I made it my business to look up your record before making this proposal.’
‘No.’ Tori said flatly, and Yoshiki blinked.
‘No?’ He asked. ‘Just like that? Would you like to look at the contract first?’
Tori shook her head. ‘It wouldn’t be necessary in this instance. I am declining the contract being offered by Extasy. Instead I will offer one of my own.’
‘Oh?’ Yoshiki asked.
Tori nodded and opened her briefcase. She pulled out several sheaves of paper and handed them to Yoshiki. ‘If you so choose you can sign with Transcendence Phoenix. I am offering an open time contract. Any services requested from Extasy to Phoenix would be made first priority no matter the proximity of timeframe. At the same time Extasy will pay a fee for prioritizing. The bands themselves will be held accountable for the services rendered by Phoenix, but Extasy will be held accountable for the convenience of having Phoenix ready at any instant.’
Yoshiki looked over the papers in his hand. ‘You would guarantee any work be offered by Extasy would be first even in the middle of another project?’
‘Yes. It’s a matter of time management and I am not the only one on staff, I’m sure you’re aware.’ Tori replied.
‘So if I’m understanding, Extasy pays to be first, and the bands pay for the service of using Phoenix. What of travel expenses and other random expenses?’ Yoshiki questioned,
‘That would depend on the expense.’ Tori replied. ‘Travel expenses would be paid by Phoenix unless the first priority rule intercedes. For example, if you call the day before a concert and expect to have me fly from L.A. to Berlin in 24 hours Extasy would be responsible for that cost.’
‘Ah, so if you are in a project and have to stop what you’re doing Extasy pays?’ Yoshiki asked.
Tori nodded. ‘You pay the fee for priority. In the same instance unreasonable demands have to be accounted for. We both know there’s no way to get to Berlin from L.A. in 24 hours.’
‘I understand. You’re basically making it so we’re not waiting last minute to contract you for a performance.’ Yoshiki reiterated.
‘Yes.’ Tori answered the unworded question. ‘It keeps us sane and keeps yours and our cost down.’
‘No.’ Yoshiki replied. ‘If Extasy contracts with Phoenix then I want you to be the contracted associate.’
‘That’s absurd. ‘ Tori replied. ‘All of my associates are well trained.’
‘I’m not asking for well trained. I’m asking for perfection.’ Yoshiki waved the contract. ‘For the fees listed on this piece of paper I deserve perfection.’
Tori reclined in her chair and tapped her fingers against her lips. ‘The priority may be a problem. I don’t leave a job half done.’
‘Your associates are well trained you said.’ Yoshiki quoted.
‘They are trained individually by me personally.’ Tori replied. ‘Their standards are mine and they know what is required.’
‘Then it wouldn’t be a problem to let them finish what you started if it’s the same thing.’ Yoshiki countered.
Tori frowned. He had backed her into a corner. She rested her fingers against her lips a moment. ‘Extasy pays priority. If the priority interferes with an existing contract Extasy pays the transfer fee to have one of my associates take over the job. If there is no existing contract and an offer is made at the same time as Extasy, Extasy would take first priority and the other offer would be handed to an associate at no cost to Extasy. Service charges will still be the responsibility of the bands. I will attend all services requested by Extasy personally unless Extasy has multiple offers. The first offer in at that time would take priority and all the others depending on time would be juggled. I am after all only one person.’
Yoshiki nodded. ‘Of course. I wouldn’t expect you to do the impossible. Would you like me to have it written up?’
Tori nodded. ‘You can fax it to the office in L.A. My plane leaves at ten tonight.’
Yoshiki was slightly hurt. She didn’t tell him she was leaving.
‘Is that all?’ Tori asked.
Yoshiki nodded. ‘In regards to business yes.’
‘Business is all there is now.’ Tori replied. ‘I don’t mix business and personal. You know how to contact me.’ Tori closed her briefcase, stood and left the office.
Yoshiki snorted as she closed the door.
He wasn’t going to be defeated by some cute girl with a cute little briefcase full of contract paper.
Tori had just reached the elevator to go back to the ground level when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to find Yoshiki’s face only inches away from hers.
‘Yoshi-‘ Tori’s words were cut off as Yoshiki pressed his lips against hers, surprising her a little.
‘Yoshiki!’ Tori’s eyes grew wide as she pushed him off of her.
‘Nobody.’ Yoshiki smiled slyly. ‘Nobody does this to me.’ Yoshiki grabbed her by the back of her neck roughly. ‘Nobody teases me. Nobody makes me feel like this. Nobody makes me need.’
Tori’s jaw dropped at his words. There was no hint of anger, just authority. He was demanding.
He ran his eyes all over her featured for a minute before pulling her back towards him so he could once more claim her lips with hers.
Tori pushed him away once more. ‘Nobody touches me.’ Tori glared at him, shaking his hand off her neck before she roughly grabbed him by his face, pushing him towards the nearest wall.
His back hit the wall with a loud THUD and he gasped in surprise before she pressed her mouth hungrily against his, shocking him even more.
‘Only… when… I say… so…’ Tori said between the kisses.
None of them cared anymore if anyone saw them, making out like teenagers in the corridor.
None of them cared anymore that they were at work.
All they cared about was the feel of the other’s mouth against theirs, the other’s tongue drifting along their own.
Just as Tori was getting into it, Yoshiki pulled away, rather abruptly.
He looked around, couldn’t help but feel a little childish after the little episode just then, he had to make sure no one was watching. He didn’t want to be a bad example to any of his employees, he strictly told every single one of them not to mix business with pleasure.
Tori looked the man in the eye in confusion. He was the one who came on to her… wasn’t he…?
‘I’m not signing that contract.’ Yoshiki smirked.
Tori blinked a few times before quickly hiding her surprise. She was sure she had him in the palm of her hands.
‘You’re right. I agree with you, we shouldn’t mix business with pleasure.’ Yoshiki said, leaning back against the wall, his hands in his pocket, Tori still only two inches away from him.
‘Help me understand.’ Tori tilted her head a little to the side, puzzled.
‘I want you. And if that means I don’t get your perfection in my work, then that’s fine.’ Yoshiki smiled. This was a first for him. Usually he puts work ahead of other things. He felt this he couldn’t just let go.
Tori had no idea this is what he had in mind, she only thought he was just way too far out of her league. She thought he was only teasing, and she thought he only wanted to play around with her when he kissed her the other day. She’s wanted him since the day she knew about X Japan, and the only reason she’s played along was because she wanted to see that at least some of her fantasies would come true.
‘Yoshiki, I…’
Yoshiki smiled as he got the reaction he hoped. She wasn’t angry, she was speechless but she looked rather surprised and pleased.
‘I can find you another company to sign a contract with. Crown might want you, or PSC. Gackt can get you in with Crown or Miyavi can hook you with PSC.’ Yoshiki offered.
‘Are you begging?’ Tori raised an eyebrow teasingly.
‘No.’ Yoshiki chuckled. ‘I’m declining. You’re the one offering the contract.’
He was right.
She let out a soft laugh. ‘So what now?’
‘Now let’s get out of here.’ Yoshiki smiled, taking Tori by the hand.
