"Momo-senpai!"

A hand slammed open a door loudly, shocking the people inside the room. Riku was panting and slowly took a breath to calm himself. He saw that everyone was already there, including TRIGGER and I6 was here. He was the last one that came because of an emergency meeting earlier.

The man, who was called earlier gave Riku a wave and a bright grin in answer.

"Ah, Riku!" Momo then frowned when he noticed that Riku was running, "Don't run! Be more cautious of your leg's condition!"

Without any other words, Riku surged forward, ignoring the other occupant of the room, and hugged the black-haired idol. Pink eyes widened slightly before it fluttered close and the owner hugged back.

"Momo-senpai..."

"Maa maa, Riku-kun. You sounded like you wanted to cry! Don't cry, please. I want my junior to smile in my last moment!"

"Urgh... stop talking like this was your deathbed!" Riku pulled back and glared at Momo. The man only stuck out his tongue innocently.

But even though Momo tried his best, Riku still could see it. Those pink eyes were cloudy, not bright like it usually did. Sadly, before he could talk more with both Momo and Yuuki, Re:Vale needed on stage. So, the two older idols went with a downhearted expression, because Momo's still couldn't sing.

Seeing one of the idol groups he respected showing that expression... Riku couldn't let this be. Ruby-colored eyes immediately went to the manager of Re:Vale. Okazaki Rinto noticed this, and an understanding smile was on his face.

"Rinto-san. Can I ask what happened?"

The man huffed but nodded his head. The two then began to discuss something in the corner of the room. All occupants of the room could guess that Rinto was telling the younger man what happened.

For other people that were not from Yaotome production, Riku in serious mode like this was rare. But for Anesagi and TRIGGER seeing the younger man in his element like this happened more often. Especially for Anesagi.

She then saw it, something flashing in both of the manager's eyes, a calculating glint. Like a huge opportunity appeared. Then both managers were spotted with a sly smile on their faces.

Ah... seeing these two managers scheming together, crafting something unexpected, who people often thought as being innocent, kind of funny for Anesagi. And seeing the young man that once under her tutelage and guidance became the person he was now. It made her so proud.

"Tsumugi-san, Anesa—" Anesagi Kaoru narrowed her eyes, Riku tensed slightly and immediately switched her name, "I mean, Kaoru-san. Can you two come here for a moment."

With that call, all managers were in the corner of the room. Riku was explaining something before both woman's expressions changed. Rinto then took out his phone, calling someone. Talked to the person on the other side of the phone. In the middle of his talking, he gave Riku an ok sigh that replied with a nod.

Riku nodded toward the rest of the managers, each of them took out their phone and called someone as well. At that very moment, all idols in the room felt confused with just what transpired in front of them.

Gaku then felt someone tap his shoulder, "Oi, Yaotome." Began Yamato, "Do you know what your brother trying to do?"

"Well..." Answered the silver head, "Hopefully nothing bad."

"Gaku, that's Riku's mischievous expression there. And now, three other managers allied with him." Tenn stated.

"Shit."

"No cursing, Gaku." Ryuu followed up, golden eyes narrowed slightly, trying to look at the redhead clearly, "... I think Riku is calling Ametsuchi-san."

"Double shit then." Cursed the silver head,

Seeing TRIGGER reaction, made I6 sweat drop. Pondering whether they were joking or serious. From seeing their expression, it might be serious.

"...Are they planning something bad?" Asked Tamaki fearfully,

"They won't... right?" Said Sougo, hesitation clearly on his face.

"Please, calm down. I think all of the managers trying to think of some way to help Momo-senpai." Iori turned toward Gaku, "Excuse me Yaotome-san, does your brother have medical knowledge or something similar?"

Silver eyes blinked when he was being addressed. He looked up, frowning, "Yes, he is. Since he has a condition, he often asked his doctor and therapist medical questions." Gaku then sweat dropped, "He is an avid reader as well. Pretty sure he read many books about medic as well."

The older Yaotome remembered how lost he was when he accompanied his brother for a checkup. It was kind of an opened-eyes situation. Since that was where he found out how good Riku was at remembering language and medical terms. Don't ask the younger ones to do math though.

"Then, maybe he was consulting with Re:Vale manager of some way to help Momo-san, and asked for Okazaki-san or their agency permission." Concluded Iori as he finished analyzing,

"Why he needed our manager though?" Thought Mitsuki loudly.

"Maybe he needed someone help from our agency," Nagi mumbled.

A sound of clap snapped them out of their discussion. Bringing them back to the managers. All of the managers had a confident smile on their face. Riku's one was bright.

"Alright all of you, time to prepare something. We have less than one week for preparation before Re: Vale's next performance." The redhead then glanced at Yamato, and gave the man a bright smile with eyes curved like a crescents moon,

"...Yaotome. Make it triple shit."

"Language." Mitsuki elbowed his leader.

-oOo-

Days had passed ever since Momo couldn't bring out his voice whenever it was time to sing. Currently, Yuki was walking toward Re: Vale's waiting room alone. His mouth completely downturned as he remembered his precious partner's condition.

Was it from stress? Did Yuki not tell Momo enough that he appreciated and loved the man? The current Re:Vale won't even exist if Momo didn't chase after him, and didn't beg him to continue making more songs. Even after so many rejections, Momo refused to give up. Refused to let Yuki's song vanish just like that.

Momo was the reason why Yuki could stand up again. Momo was the one that accept him, and help him to sing and danced on the stage again. The black-haired man reached his hand toward Yuki, at that very moment... Yuki was saved by that man.

Yet... was there nothing else he could do to help Momo when his partner needed it?

A loud sigh went out of his mouth, and his hand reached up, ruffling his greyish-colored hair. Frustration was clear on his face. When he was near the waiting round, he could hear voices shouting coming from the room. Re:Vale's waiting room.

Green eyes widened and he brought his feet toward the room with a quick run.

What he saw inside the room made him freeze.

Yamato was being restrained by two people that wore staff uniforms. Words exchanged between the three, it looked like the two tried their best to bring down I6's leader. Then he saw it, a bottle was rolling on the ground... it was Momo. Something dawned in Yuki's mind, hoping what he thought was wrong, he muttered softly.

"What... what is going on?"

One of the people restraining Yamato looked up. Finally noticing Yuki was standing there, The man bit his bottom lip, still trying his best to subdue Yamato who fought back. Finally, they managed to restrain the mud-green-haired leader by tying the man's hands on the back.

"Sorry sir, but..." One of the staff glanced toward the fallen bottle, "We saw him putting something inside that bottle. When asked what it was, he tried to run, and the rest as you can see..."

"What..." Yuuki's eyes landed on Yamato's face that looked down, the older man smiled in fear, completely dumbfounded by what happened, "They were joking right...? Yamato-kun, it was a joke, right?"

The said man's shoulder was trembling, before Yamato laughed loud. Head leaned back as he laughed madly. Like everything was funny. When he looked at Yuuki, his grin was big and deadly.

"'Give back my song'. I told you, didn't I? I wanted revenge." Then he tilted his head to the side, "Though this was early, ah, well. Happy anniversary~ dearest senpai~"

And Yuuki snapped. He surged forward, hands aiming for the other's collar. Yet, even with anger painted on Yuki's face, the other only kept on grinning like a maniac.

"If Momo loses his voice, I won't forgive you! He is staying by my side is the reason why I can keep making music! Momo is the reason I can be here now! Fuck Zero! Momo is the best singer for me!"

A clapping sound from behind snapped Yuki out of his rage. When he turned, he saw his manager was there with a smile on his face.

"Okarin...?"

"What a way to declare your feeling. Right..." Rinto glanced over his shoulder with a smile, "Momo?"

Momo then stepped out from Rinto's back. His expression was clearly in astonishment, yet happiness could be seen as well. Then one by one, I6 and TRIGGER stepped inside the room.

"Re:Vale's prank is a success!" Shouted all of them.

"Pr—prank???"

Yuuki felt someone tap his hand when he glanced back, it was one of the staff.

"Excuse me Yuki-san, I think it's better to let Nikaido-san go... he might die if you keep that up."

Seeing Yamato rapidly paling face, Yuki immediately let him go, letting the younger man get a fresh breathing air.

"I thought I saw a way toward heaven just now..." Yamato muttered out

The man holding Yamato pats him on the back in a consoling way, while the other man frees Yamato's hands from the bind. As the leader of I6 massage his wrist, with a trembling hand Yuki pointed at him.

"It—it was an act?"

Yamato grinned, "You said it yourself that I'm a prodigious actor. Yet you get caught by my act. Hook, line, sinker~"

"Then... those two?" Yuki stared at the people wearing the staff uniform. The two gave him a smile and a peace sign, giving Yuki the knowledge these two were in fact, acting as well.

"Ah, those two belong to Yaotome Pro." Said Riku, he leaned forward from behind Gaku. With an innocent smile on his face, Riku winked toward the two actors, "Good job."

It just dawned on Yuki's mind, about everything that happened. At that instant, he covered his red face as he groaned. Momo immediately went to his partner's side, trying his best to calm Yuki.

"Ah! Yuki! It's alright! You're so cool just now! And I can feel your love as well!"

"Momo!" Yuki whined as he hugged his partner

"Alright, before you two start the 'married couple' skit again." Riku cut out, gaining the two attention. He gestured toward the door, where Tsumugi made a gesture toward someone to enter the room. When someone entered the room, both Yuki and Momo were gaping.

"Ban?!" "Ban-san?!"

The man that was called waved at them with a smile. All the managers then gestured toward the other to exit the room. Leaving Oogami Banri, Re:Vale, and Rinto inside the room, to finally talk and moved on from their past.

Riku walked at the two actors. The two actors immediately bowed at the redhead, and he did the same.

"Thank you, you two, that performance is good." The youngest manager there brought up a camera, "It might be short, but the two of you managed to stand against Yamato-san's pressure just now and even fooled Yuki-senpai. Remember these experiences when you two filming, ok?"

"Yes!" with that, the two actors leave the place.

"TRIGGER, your manager is scary." Muttered Yamato, he glances slightly at Anesagi. Who still talking with Tsumugi, before looking at TRIGGER again, "Both of them. Scary and amazing."

TRIGGER could only sweat drop hearing that, because, well, they kind of agreed with what Yamato said. Somehow in the short time of one week, Anesagi and Riku got a clearance to use two of Yaotome Pro's newbies' actors from Sousuke.

'The experience will help them. And they will keep their mouth shut about whatever thing they will hear there~' Was what Riku said. They even managed to track who was Yuki's previous partner.

Rinto and Tsumugi were amazing as well. They helped orchestrate this prank amid their packed schedule. Making sure their schedule will be the same studio as TRIGGER on the same day and similar time like it was just a mere coincidence. Having permission from each of their agency president was not an easy thing.

"To think they manage to plan all of this..." Muttered Mitsuki as he saw the three managers talking with each other.

"Sometimes people underestimate manager works. Even though these people are the ones that know their idol the best." Said Iori with a smile.

A vibrating sound could be heard, it was from Riku's phone. He took out his phone, reddish amber eyes blinked owlishly when he stared at the name of the caller. After murmuring a small 'excuse me', he swiped the screen and put the phone on his ear.

"Evening, Riku here. Can I help you with something, Ryou-san?" Answered Riku while he walked toward the empty room beside Re:Vale's.

Hearing the 'Ryou' name, both Gaku and Tenn immediately snapped their head toward where the redhead had gone. The two immediately leaned close to the door, trying their best to eavesdrop. Ryuu... followed them because he was kind of worried now.

IDOLiSH6 and Tsumugi stared in shock and disbelief at their seniors. It was a very sudden change of behavior that gave them a whiplash, A muffled voice could be heard from behind. Anesagi was clutching her stomach, with her other hand on her mouth. Her shoulders were trembling, trying her best to hold back her laugh.

"Um... what happened?" Tsumugi felt lost now.

"Ryou... courting... pfft!" And Anesagi kept on muffling her laugh, leaving the seven of them feeling bewildered.

Riku sighed as he loosened the tie of his suit as he opened the door to his office. It was so dark, he then switched on the lamp. Showing how empty the room was. He just returned from an important meeting with their sponsor this late, so it was not that surprising to find the building was near empty.

He then walked toward the sofa and seated there. A hand slowly reached forward, taking a bottle of water that rested there. After opening the cap, he gulped down the water, slowly feeling the refreshing water helped his thirsty throat.

He was glad to be able to help Re:Vale before their anniversary. Reddish amber eyes glanced toward the calendar on the wall. Counting the days of the event. Less than two weeks. His eyes moved back toward the table, with one document on there. No one dared to touch it with the big 'CONFIDENTIAL' stamped on the cover.

Before his hand could touch it, his phone vibrated. He took it out and looked at the sender alongside the content. Written there was...

From: Ametsuchi Yuuto

'Everything is clear. Now, the ball is in your hands, Riku-kun,'

Riku turned off the screen, he then looked at the view of the city from the window. Reddish amber eyes glinted with somberness.

Now...

How to made Yaotome Sousuke relinquish his seat as the president?

~To Be Continue~
