Chapter One

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Shuichi laid in their bed, the moonlight pouring into the room and over their bodies under the opal bed linens, through the cracks in the shades above them. If he held his breath, he could hear his lover, Yuki Eiri's, rhythm-like breathing as he slept peacefully. On his other side a child's angelic figure, Kitazawa Riku, slept, curling into the nook of Shuichi's side and under the warmth of his arm. This peaceful slumber had overpowered everyone, except him.

His body was starved of the sleep that was necessary to function, but his mind was still quite active. That day was certainly a stress-filled day, which events were stuck playing like a movies, over and over again, in Shuichi's mind. He glanced at his right hand that was laced with the fingers of his lover, entwined finally how they should've been at the very beginning.

Yuki. Shuichi looked frantically around, unaware of his particular location, sitting up from his lying position on the cold, hard cement floor. He couldn't remember exactly what had happened, but he knew that his Yuki was in trouble, and he was no where to be found.

Standing on both feet, however unable to catch his balance right away, Shuichi fell back on the wall for support. A cell. He hadn't noticed it earlier, but he realized he was looking through bars that caged him in, now as if he was a wild animal. He had a strong notation who was the master mind pulling the string behind his captivity.

"Well, Sleeping Beauty seems to have awoken." K commented as he polished one of his guns in a corner covered in shadows.

"Get me…out." Shuichi slurred as he breathed, stumbling forward to the bars, noting that his tongue was quite numb.

"Sorry, no-can-do!" K said in a sing-song voice.

Shuichi looked around, his eyes trying to focus through the bars at the wall-sized television, which had just turned itself on. He gritted his teeth, as his eyes narrowed. Seguchi Tohma.

"Shindou-san." The greeting was brief, sharp and formal. Shuichi noted how it sounded more or less like a challenge.

"Seguchi. Let. Me. Out." Shuichi lashed back, all to happy to comply with his boss's challenge. "Now." He added, his voice wavering.

K looked up, from polishing his new gun, at the two men and took a seat at the nearby table listening intently.

"Tsk, tsk, Shindou-san. You are not giving me orders now, are you?" Seguchi asked sarcastically, his voice echoing through the chamber, as he smiled that genuine fake smile.

"Where's Eiri?" Shuichi demanded almost inaudible, his knuckles turned white from the death grip his fingers held on the bars.

"In the hospital." Seguchi answered.

Shuichi was about to ask another question, but was stopped short by Tohma.

"Do you see what you are doing to him?" He asked, pausing though not finished. "He is suffering because of you. I had to sedate you via tranquilizer guns, just to get Eiri to the hospital in time. You are so blind to others! All you care about is yourself, making sure you get what you want! Seriously Shindou," He said breathing heavily, trying to regain his composure. "I thought maybe you would see now---"

"Because I'm in a cage!?" Shuichi cut off his boss. "Come on Tohma! You've got to be kidding me! As if I am the one blind to others! You can't even see yourself! Aren't you the one who introduced Eiri to Kitazawa? You---" Shuichi looked at the ground, shaking visibly.

Tohma opened his mouth to comment, but was unable to say anything. The truth had hit home pretty badly.

"---you caused him this pain…" Shuichi sunk to his knees. "Don't think this cage, or K-san for that matter, will be able to stop me from getting to Eiri." Shuichi seethed. "I will find him."
