Track 1: Homecoming
Tohma sat in a hospital waiting room. Shirt covered wit blood and soaked with water. He looked a bit shaken up. For a while he stared at the tile floor, completely spaced out. But then he looked down at his hands and realized, they too were covered with blood. He then heard a horde of commotion from the emergency room doors. "Where is she! Tell me where!" he heard a woman call out. The guard and a couple more nurses ran towards the doors to help calm her down. When Tohma looked up to see who the woman was, he recognized her, "Amaya?" When he called out the name, she turned around.
She had short brown hair and slim blue eyes. She was wearing a dress that looked like she was coming from a formal party. Amaya didn't look a day over 20, when actually she was 31. The security guard was showing her the way out until Tohma called out her name. "Tohma! Please sir, let me go. I know him. Please." She begged the guard.
"Do you know this woman?" he asked Tohma.
"Yes. I do."
After the guard let Amaya go, she ran to Tohma teary-eyed. "Tohma. Where is she? Yuki called and told me everything. That Tsuzuki and Eiri was with him and Aries…" She said holding back tears until she noticed Tohma's white shirt had now become crimson. She studied him up and down and looked back in his eyes with tears flowing down her face. "I-Is she alright. Tohma, please tell me she's ok!" Amaya said weeping out of control.
"Yeah. She's ok, but…"
"But what? Tell me!"
Tohma looked away from her, not wanting to see her expression to what he had to tell her. "They…they don't know if…if she'll make it through the night. Five minutes after we got here, the doctors had to move her to shock trauma. They said she lost too much blood and because off her size they have to keep an eye on her though the night."
Amaya grasped her mouth to keep from screaming out at the bad news. She stood there in shock for a couple of seconds. Tohma tried to reach out and place his hand on her shoulder, but she walked away. She had walked over to one of the blue waiting room chairs and plopped down on it, blue eyes wide and still full of shock. A ball of guilt was slowly being formed in Tohma's heart.
He walked over and stooped down trying to get her to look at him. "Amaya, I'm so sorry." He pleaded, voice a little raspy. She still didn't answer him. An awkward silence fell between them. This made Tohma really think she hated him now. He laid his head in her lap and began to cry completely out of control, "Damn it! Why couldn't I stop her! I let her down. I let you down. I should have just asked if anything was wrong! I let my little girl down! I'm so sorry, Amaya!"
She looked down at the blonde headed man crying his heart out. She lifted a slender hand and began to run her fingers through his locks. After awhile, Tohma's cries had become softer. Amaya continuously ran her hand through his hair. Tohma always felt safe around her. He slowly dozed off at her actions, but before he finally fell asleep the last thing he heard was:"Tohma…it's not your fault."
He couldn't take the silence anymore. The author pushed his chair from underneath his desk and stood up, walking out of the study. When he walked into the living room he found his lover lying upside down on the couch watching TV. He chuckled inside at the adorable sight: Shuichi's blue tank top was falling forward, showing his mid-section. Mouth wide open and eyes glued to the television. He then reached up and scratched his stomach from what looked to be ennui. Eiri decided to interrupt his little singer to let him know he was there, "So…that's how you gain your stupidity." He said coldly.
"Oh…Hi Yuki." Eiri rose an eyebrow to Shuichi's tone. It was cold and unenthusiastic. Plus, his baka didn't even take his eyes off the television. This was really getting annoying. Not knowing what Shuichi wanted. So he planned to find out…
He walked over to the couch and took a seat next to his boyfriend. Shuichi hadn't even made eye contact with him yet. "Ya know, if you stay that way long enough blood will rush to your head."
"Really. Wow. I didn't know that." Eiri was really being rubbed the wrong way by this 'Non-Shuichi'. He grunted his teeth and spat, "Alright! What do you want, Shu?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't want anything." Shuichi responded clueless.
"Yes you do. I should know. I've been living with you for a year. I know everything about you and you want something."
"Yuki! Seriously I don't want anything." Shuichi said jumping up so he could look the writer in the eyes. Eiri pulled out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He began to chew on the end, giving an annoyed look to his lying lover. "Look! I'll give you until count of three to tell me what you want or else you can forget it."
"But Yuki I-"
"One."
"Seriously I don't-"
"Two. Two and one half. Thr-"
"Alright! I'll tell you! God you know me too well." Eiri gave a smile of triumph as he grabbed a lighter off the coffee table and lit his cigarette. He was getting set for whatever Shu wanted to ask him. Shu took a deep breath and looked into his blonde lover's amber eyes, "I know I've been bugging you about this for the past 3 weeks, but-"
"-Don't tell me this is about Tohma's party." The writer said exhaling the smoke from his cigarette. "Well you never said if you were going to take me or not. And tonight's the party and I don't want to be by myself…dateless."
"Why don't you ask that guitarist friend of yours? Seems as though he has an eye for you." Eiri said teasingly. Shuichi went into shock. Eiri always teased him about his relationship with Hiro. And Shuichi always swore that they were just friends…always.
"Yuki! Stop changing the subject! Do you want to go or not?" The singer asked, now becoming irritated. Eiri put his cigarette out in the side table ashtray. He turned back to his lover because he had a question of his own, "Why do you want me to go, Shu-chan?"
"Well you're my boyfriend, right? So we should do things together. Be seen together." He said as look of sadness came across his face. Or more like he just figured something out, "Or maybe…maybe you don't want to be seen with me. Is that it Yuki ! You're still ashamed of me ! You bast-"
"-That's not true! I've done nothing but stand up for you. You think that because I don't want to go to a stupid N-G party that I don't lov…" Eiri's thoughts trailed off. He stopped himself from finishing his sentence. "What Yuki? You don't what?"
"Nothing. Forget I even said anything." Eiri got off the couch and proceeded to make his way to their bedroom. Shuichi stared at him as he walked pass. "Yuki…I'm sorry. You don't have to go if you don't want to."
"Well maybe I won't! And stop saying sorry!" Eiri never turned around as he kept walking down the hall. When he reached the bedroom, he slammed the door behind him. Shuichi jumped at the sound. His Yuki never yelled at him like that. The fact that he did almost tore his heart in two. He felt his eyes well up with tears and he began to sob. Small droplets stained his little pretty cheeks. He tried to bury his head into the cushion of the couch so that Eiri couldn't hear him crying. But because the couch was leather it was impossible and his tears became puddles under his face.
In the bedroom…
Eiri paced around in a circle trying to figure out why he yelled at Shu that way. Hell, if he were Shuichi, he'd probably think the same thing. After all, he was Eiri Yuki.
He finally stopped pacing and took a seat on the end of the bed. Even through the closed door and all the way down the hall, Eiri heard Shu's faint sobs. He planted his head in his hand from frustration as he continued to listen to Shuichi's cries. But no matter how he looked at it, it was his fault his baka was felt that way.
He couldn't take it anymore. He moved on the bed so he was able to lay down and put one of pillow over top of his head. Trying to muffle the singer out. Just for a while he had to get Shu out of his head. So he decided to try to go to sleep…
It was a hot summer day. The temperature had to be at least 95 degrees. New York City felt like it was cooking on a skillet. But despite the heat, a blonde haired boy stood outside of a high school, leaning against the fence. He checked his watch one last time before a loud bell went off at exactly 3 o'clock. Masses of teens came charging outside as though they've been in prison the last six hours. The boy turned around when he heard a familiar voice. "Hey! Jade!" He called out. A young girl, no older than 16, turned his way.
She had shoulder length black hair and smooth, creamy tonedskin. She was at least 5' 3'' and 120 lbs. She seemed like the kind of girl anyone could love. She had a big smile on her face. A smile that could light up the world. Guys wanted her and girls either hated her or adored her. But it was for a reason. The highlight of this girl, the thing about her that drew the most attention…was her eyes. They were big orbs of emerald.
"Hey Eiri!" Her voice was a breath of fresh air. Just the sound of it alone drove anyone crazy. It had a sound of innocence, purity and warmth. She ran over to him and grabbed his arm, "I hope you weren't waiting long, Eiri. I'm sorry if you did."
"It's okay and don't be sorry."
Later in Central Park…
Jade and Eiri walked hand in hand. Jade looked up and took a glance at the handsome boy next to her. She then bit her lip, ready to say something, "So Eiri… are you coming to my recital tonight?"
" What recital?"
"My dance recital." Eiri stared up, empty minded, trying to think, "Don't tell me you forgot, Eiri." She whined causing him to smile.
"Calm down, Jade. How could I forget? You've only been bugging me about it for the past 3 weeks."
"I have not been bugging! I've just been reminding on a constant basis." Eiri laughed. Jade smiled, but stopped walking and stood behind him. "Jade, what the hell are-" Eiri asked when he turned around, but was cut off when Jade crushed their lips together. Wrapping her arm around his neck.
Eiri's eyes were wide open, but Jade's were closed with passion. She had to get on her tippy toes just to kiss him. When she backed off, her cheeks along with his were flushed. "You shouldn't trick your girlfriend like that." Jade said smiling. Eiri gave her a confused look, but shook his head and embraced her causing her to giggle. "Eiri, don't ever leave me. Ok."
Okay...
Shuichi was fast asleep. Rolled in a ball next to his lover. Eiri brushed away a strand of hair from Shu's face. Shuichi made small waking up noises. He slit his eyes open to peer at his blonde lover. "Mmmmm…Yuki."
"What are you doing in here?" The author asked.
"I wanted to apologize to you. I-"
"-I told you stop apologizing!" Eiri sat up in the bed, "Just…stop that." He said softly.
"Then what do you want me to do? Tell me what to do Yuki." Shuichi asked sitting up, too.
"I don't want you to do anything. Because you didn't do anything. So why would you be apologizing? If anyone should be apologizing it's me."
"But I was pressuring you."
"It doesn't matter. No matter how much I try, you'll never change. Pestering and being annoying is just who you are. There's no getting around it." Eiri took his eyes off Shu and looked out the window, "And even still, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. So I only have one thing to say…I'm sorry, Shu." Shuichi's eyes lit up with love as he pounced and hugged his lover close.
At first Eiri had an exasperated look on his face, but slowly he hugged his koi back. Shu nuzzled his face in his chest. Eiri finally spoke again and asked, "What time is the party?"
"Yuki! You really want to go?"
"Why not? It's the least I can do."
"Yay! Yuki is my date! Yuki is my date! Oh yeah!" Shuichi sang, standing up and jumping on the bed. Eiri shook his head, but then after a while he pulled Shu back down, "Alright. Now that that's out of your system, can you tell me the time of the party?"
"8:30."
"Attire?"
"Black tie affair only."
"Really? So you're telling me I get to see my Shu-chan in a monkey suit. Now I really want to go." Eiri said jokingly. Shuichi just nudged him in the side and smiled. Shuichi always smiled at Eiri, but this smile was different. It reminded him of someone he used to know. Someone from a long time ago…"Hey Eiri!"
"Umm…uh…what is this party for again?" He said shaking the memory out of his mind.
"I don't know. Tohma said it was a surprise party. He said quote unquote: "This is a party that will change the music industry forever." Whatever the hell that means."
'Yeah, Tohma is chopped full of surprises.' The writer thought to himself. He then felt the singer's grip tighten on his arm and he had moved ridiculously close. He wouldn't look Eiri directly in the eye, so the fair-haired man asked, "What else do you want?"
"Well, Yuki…because I don't wear suits often…could I…well…could you-"
"-Get to the point."
"Can I borrow 70000 yen?" The pink haired boy asked with a puppy dogface. Eiri rolled his eyes. He reached in the nightstand and pulled out his wallet. When he opened it Shuichi reached in and pulled out all the money it contained. "Thanks Yuki." He gave the author a peck on the lips and tried to get off the bed, but was pulled back by his wrist.
Eiri had cause Shuichi to straddle him. Which also made a giggle to erupt from Shu as he looked in his lover's amber gaze. Eiri gave a small smirk and leaned forward to kiss him sweetly on the lips. The singer wrapped his arms around the older man's neck and moaned into the kiss. And just when Eiri was getting ready to lay his koi on the bed, Shuichi pulled away and smiled, "You can have me later. But right now I have to go."
"Just like a prostitute, takes the money and leaves."
"You know me!" Shuichi said getting up off his lover and off the bed. Eiri laid back on the bed and closed his eyes. Feeling lonely even though Shu was still in the room. After a moments silence Shuichi called out Eiri's name, "Yuki…"
"Yeah."
"Thank you. For coming I mean." Eiri sat up again and blew the pink haired man at the door a kiss. When Shuichi blew him a kiss it was cute and normal. But when Eiri did it, it was sexy and it seemed as though time slowed down, "Now get out."
"Don't forget its 8:30 and wear a suit."
"Can I wear my birthday suit?" Shuichi laughed walking out the room, shutting the door. Now alone, the writer laid down again and let out a loud sigh, "What have I gotten myself into?"
K stood in an airport holding a sign that read 'Nakagawa-chan'. He felt stupid standing there. But hey, that's what Tohma asked him to do. Right now he could be playing catch with his son, but Tohma was his boss and he agreed to it. Or more like he walked into his trap. K wished that he could go back in time and say no. He could remember it like it was yesterday because in fact…it was yesterday…
"Seguchi-sama, K-sama is here to see you like you asked." One of the young interns said over the intercom. "Ok. Send him in."
When K walked in the office he found Tohma staring out the large window behind his desk. "You wanted to see me?" He asked. Tohma swiveled his chair around to face the American, "Yes. Thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice."
"No problem." The president gave K his trademark smile as he offered him a seat. He sat in one of the brown chairs across from Tohma's desk. "So how is Bad Luck doing? Well I hope." K wondered how Tohma was the president and didn't know how one of his bands was doing. He didn't bother to ask so he just answered the question, "They're fine. The new CD should be done and in stores very soon."
"That's magnificent! You're a very great manager. Everyone should have one like you."
"Please, don't flatter me. I only want what's best for the boys. But…don't tell me you only called me here to praise me."
"Of course not. I really called you here to ask you a favor." K gave Tohma a look of curiosity, "What is it?" Tohma took a deep breath, "I know you were supposed to go back to America this weekend and spend time with your son, but…I really need you to stay in Japan."
"Why! I promised Michael that we'd spend time together." K asked nearly jumping out if his seat. "As you know, tomorrow is the N-G party I've been planning and someone very dear to me is coming to attend it. And because I trust you more than all the other managers, I want you to pick them up at the airport, take them to their hotel and show them around town until the party. I only wish I could do it myself. But being the busy man I am, I can't. It would mean a great deal to me if you could for me." Tohma explained in a calm tone.
K sat back down in his seat slowly. He had to think about this one. He either stayed in Japan and go to a major party or go back to America and spend time with his son, but still hear Judy's mouth. "Alright. I'll do it, but under one condition." He answered hesitantly.
"What's that?"
"Because I have to play nanny to whomever…I get a bonus of triple my pay." Tohma smiled as he nodded his head and said, "You got a deal."
She was wearing what looked like a pin stripped suit and black boots. She had to be 5' 9'' and that's without the boots on. Her hair was long and black, but up in a bun. Her skin seemed smooth and creamy.She was beautiful!In K's opinion, she was the mostsexiest woman he ever seen. If he weren't married he would have asked her out right then and there. Even though he didn't know who she was. The only thing on her he didn't see was her eyes. Black sunglasses covered them. "Who might you be?" He asked.
"Well judging by the sign your holding…I'm Nakagawa-chan." She snickered, "I can't believe that Tohma still calls me that. Even after seven years, 23 years old and still called 'chan'. Oh well!" Her voice was sensual and seductive. Even though it wasn't intentional. K couldn't believe she was that young. By the way she looked and the sound of her voice, he thought she was 28 or even his age.
"I'm guessing you don't like being called that."
"Only Tohma can call me that. No one else can."
"So…what should I call you?" He asked curiously. The woman gave him a smug look chuckling a little. She then reached up and removed her glasses. When she did, she revealed the most beautiful emerald eyes, "My friends call me Jade."
A/N: That…was…HARD. I never thought writing a original fic could be so damn hard. (sigh) Its okay if you think this sucks and don't ever want to read it again. As the author I can say it sucks and…it does. (sniffle) But if you liked it, I hope your all dying to know what happens next. Cause I'll post chapter 2 as soon as possible. Just let me know! (pause) Yeahhhhh. Now I only have one thing to say…don't think ahead in this story. You might think you know what is going to happen next, but you don't. My friend (who also happens to write fics) got a little bit correct but was still wrong. She guessed the story by the title. My advice to you would be don't do that because its wrong. Okay? (Re-reads the end) Damn! I just left you with a cliffhanger…I'm so sorry!
