Honor Among Thieves

This — Yagami thinks, staring down at the plastic cup in his hands — is the worst idea he's ever had.

Sure, it seemed like fun at the time: tagging along to the Tenimyu tenth anniversary afterparty, for all the mayhem that a concert show promised, and the additional assurance that for once Kane-chan would be nowhere in sight because, wonder of wonders, Mr. Tenimyu himself had a scheduling conflict that not even love of Rikkai and Ueshima-sensei could overcome.

In retrospect, he should have known better.

Because now he's actually here; Kazuki has disappeared somewhere with the producers while Kimeru holds court with a gaggle of fawning kouhai, and Yagami — the original Yukimura, beloved Bugiwugi co-host, the object of adoration of way too many puppy-like idiots to count — he, Yagami Ren, is lurking in a corner trying to avoid one Nakagauchi Masataka.
