The Batfamily Idol

8

It was the day of the gala. Alfred had let us know who was going to be in attendance at the event.  Or who to avoid for fear of boredom, it was a lot more common than you'd think in this family. But luckily several Idol groups were going to also be at thee gala. You see despite everything our family has a divide an conquer strategy that ensures that though we may be bored we at least know what we're talking about. Dick would handle the single ladies and the more important/difficult business people with Bruce. Jason would handle the old politicians and the more self infatuated people. Tim would hang out with the more brainy people. Meanwhile Damian and I tackled everyone else; writers, artists, press, actors, models, and of course Idols.

This had never failed once, but now Dick wanted to switch places with me to be with Damian this time around. Not that I blamed him for that in the slightest. Tenn was going to be there with Re;Vale, Idolish 7, ZOOL, Six Gravity, and many others. Which leads us to now while we were getting ready to leave for the gala.

"Come on Riku let us switch places for this Gala please" Dick begged while I was tightening my sunset colored tie.

"Dick I've dealt with Tenn for a year in a much more professional manner than he's ever dealt with me one night won't make any more difference than it already has" I told him as I slipped on my black vest before buttoning it up

"But this is the Kujo's we are talking about here  don't forget the man who took Tenn is also going to be there as well. And he's a confirmed madman." Dick warned me as I put my matching black jacket on

"That's why the plan is to stay in sight of on of you and to stay in close proximity to either Jason or Damian" I sighed as fixed the cuffs of my white dress shirt before moving on to my hair.

Dick's mouth open and shut as no words escaped his throat. "But Dick is right. Besides we're going to treat this gala just like the ones back in Gotham, be on constant alert. Alfred will have the suits in the limo's trunk should the 'usual' happen" Bruce said, "But Riku tonight you're with me it has been a year since you've attended a gala, after a few hours with me you can go with Damian. The host is the esteemed Tokugawa family" Bruce said

I sighed as I finished putting my hair up and back with gel and a hair band. "Alright" I groaned knowing the real reason.

Day before yesterday I was in the hospital with Jason and since the attack was focused on me I'm not to surprised. It was the compromise we came to after a good deal of arguing earlier today since anyone from the rouges gallery could attack us while at the gala. We could bring the suits, but we'd have to stay close to an uninjured family mamber. "You to Jason" Bruce added

"Fine" Jason sighed as he put his shoes on.

"But Dick you'll still be expected to help me regardless." Bruce said

"Alright" Dick said sated that things wouldn't go too awry now.

I sighed. The Tokugawa's were a nice family but they paid more attention to history and traditional aspects of Japanese culture. I understood flower arrangments, traditional dancing, Kudou, kendo, and many other things. It was in terms of traditional music in which threw me more than  I'm willing to admit. 

At and hour to the gala we were all ready to go. And since it was a two hour drive to get there from the mansion we left at once. After a long and tedious drive involving a lot of cursing (Jason), an almost bloodbath (Damian), and an aggrevated butler. We finally arrived and just like every other gala several media and news outlets where here to broadcast it around the world.

Yeah this is never my favorite moment when it comes to galas. I pocketed my cell phone and placed my book in a storage compartment in the limo. Alfred opened the door once we reached the entryway. Bruce was the first one out followed by Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, then last but not least me. Ahead of us was Trigger, Idolish7, and Re;Vale. I heard the press's comments about how I was with my family instead of my group till another one commented that the Wayne's were my family and it was to be expected since I was a known family person and I'd made it crystal clear multiple times that my group members were my close friends. "Plus remember as a Wayne he'll have more people after him than an idol normally would his group could feel pressured and might snap" Another pressman said
