The Morning Forever Continues

6:00 A.M.

Tohma was driving through morning Tokyo traffic with the roof of the convertable down. The wind was blowing through his hair and the classical rock flowed out of the speakers. Luckily, the breeze wasn't strong enough to blow of his hat off. He recalled the one time it did fall off. Luckily, Sakano was with him (the only time he was ever allowed in Tohma's jaguar), and Tohma had made Sakano chase after his hat. He laughed out loud. However, if traffic kept up, it would take forever to get to the office. Making a grimace, he stared at the numerous cars in front of him. He made a right and took a side street. There weren't many cars so he sped up. "Five more minutes until I hit NG", he thought.

6:37 A.M.

Parking his car into the underground garage in his own personal, secluded parking space with his name on it, he got out of the car and walked into the building. The building was mostly empty. He rode the elevator to the top floor and walked into his office. Ten minutes later, Sakano burst in the room. Tohma wasn't in the mood to deal with Sakano at the moment. "Sakano, I want you to set up the spending budget for Bad Luck. The previous one was a mess, and it greatly needed organization. But the main problem was that you went over the budget. Do you know what I do to employees that cannot fulfil their duties?" He gave Sakano one of his signature "Do-the-job-or-die " smiles. And Sakano replied with a pretty pathetic response but he sent him off anyway. Actually, Fujisaki had already set up a budget. He just wanted to get rid of Sakano for now. In the meantime, Tohma flipped through a business magazine.

8:16 A.M.

Tohma left his office and drove to a local French pastry shop he knew Eiri loved. He wasn't in the mood for working and there was nothing really to do at the moment anyway. By the time he got there, Eiri would be awake so he'd give him a short visit before returning to the office. He hoped Shuichi wouldn't be there, he'd just spoil the moment. After his order was ready, he continued to Eiri's house. He arrived there at 8:42 and knocked on the door. When no one answered (and by the car, Tohma could see Eiri was home), he took his spare key (Well, the key wasn't really his but Mika's. He just borrowed it.) and let himself in. No one was in the living room and still carrying the cake box he made his way down the hallway. The bathroom door was open and he stood in the doorway looking at what was going on.
