[UTA NO PRINCE SAMA] [YAOI] Christmas's Bond

Chapter 9- Search

Tokiya's POV

"Ugh... Reiji and Otoya and Kotobuki-san are late again..."

We were supposed to be taking our group photos after each person finished their own solo photos, but Otoya and Kotobuki-san were nowhere in sight. Our group was supposed to do our photos first, then followed by Kurosaki-san's, Mikaze-san, then Camus-san.

I went out in search of Otoya and Kotobuki-san. Looking around the hallways, I saw a glimpse of silver hair. Kurosaki-san was in the hallway. He looked extremely angry.

"Tch! Reiji that fucker! I'm going to beat him into a bloody mess!..." Kurosaki-san yelled out. "What the fuck is wrong with him!"

Aa... What did Kotobuki-san do this time? I really did not want to speak to the angry Kurosaki-san, so I'll go and find Kotobuki-san myself.

I looked through the hallways with the makeup rooms. Otoya and Cecil-san were walking in the hall, going towards the studio.

"Ah! Tokiya! I found you! Otoya exclaimed.

"Hah... Otoya, it is almost time for our group photo. I need to go and find Kotobuki-san."

"Rei-chan? I just saw him a couple of minutes ago. He was acting a bit weird though... he called Ai, Mikaze-san..."

"Oh? Thank you Otoya. Please head to the studio now so you aren't late. You too Cecil-san.

"Of course!" Otoya and Cecil said together.

Otoya and Cecil-san walked out of the hallway, soon reaching the door. Once I couldn't see them both anymore, I continued to search for Kotobuki-san.

"Hmm... where could he be?" I muttered to myself.

I searched the hallway with the makeup rooms, the dressing rooms, the waiting rooms, and the other studios. I checked studio B, C, and D. I even rechecked studio A, where our photos were at. I tried to ask people in the other studios if they knew about Kotobuki-san's location.

"Hmm? Kotobuki Reiji? Aa, is he that guy that kinda sounds like me! I think I might've saw him in the restroom!" The man told me

This studio was apparently for a group by the name of "B-Project" I think that I know them, but only though magazines. The man's name was Osari Hikaru if I recall. His voice sounds much like Kotobuki-san's. He also had the same "aura" as Kotobuki-san

I went to check studio C. There were three men there, all in matching uniforms. I didn't know them, but it looks like one of them knew me. The small petite man with hair slightly tinted pink approached me.

"Good evening Ichinose-san. Is there something you need?" The man asked.

"Umm... I am-"

"Oh! Pardon me, my name is Kujo Tenn. I am TRIGGER's center. Nice to meet you."

Kujo-san held out his hand for a handshake. I took his hand, and shook it firmly.

"Yes, nice to meet you also. I am actually searching for another group member by the name of Kotobuki Reiji. Do you know where he may be?" I asked.

"Hmm... I know who he is, but I have not seen him today. I apologize."

Kujo-san slightly bowed his head to me.

"Oh no! It's alright, please don't lower your head." I said.

Kujo-san smiled and then I left to continue my search for Kotobuki-san.
