Chapter 1: The letter

"Yukiiiiiii, Yukiiiiiiii!" Shuichi yelled in the apartment. "Wake up Yuki and look at what I got." Shuichi said while shaking Yuki.

"Shut-up brat." growled Yuki. "I'm still sleeping."

"But Yukiiiii!" whined Shuichi, but Yuki didn't move. "Fine! I'll call Hiro." Yuki could here Shuichi dialing Hiro's number. There was a short pause as Shuichi waited for Hiro to answer. "Hello Hiro, you'll never guess who wrote me….. not another fan…..not my grandmother…..aaaaaaaahhh I'll just tell you... my brother!!" screamed Shuichi. "Yeah I know he invited us to his summer home in England." Shuichi said he left the room. Yuki was awake now. He had never met Shuichi's brother. He had met his mom, dad and sister but not his brother. "Alright Hiro, you'll tell everyone to meet at NG studious in fifteen minutes. Bye." Shuichi said hanging up the phone. "So are you awake now?" Shuichi asked kissing Yuki on the cheek. Yuki rose from under the covers and stared at Shuichi.

"Your brother wrote to you did he?" Shuichi nodded and smiled.

"He wants to meet everyone mainly you." said Shuichi as he was handing Yuki the letter and watching him read it. The envelope was addressed to Shuichi Shindou from Eric Shindou in England. Yuki took the letter; to his surprise the handwriting was neat, readable and well decent. The very opposite of Shuichi's handwriting. His handwriting seemed like an alien wrote it. Yuki remembered one time Shuichi wrote to him to tell him they were through. Yuki could not read it so after an hour he gave up. Shuichi came home a few minutes later screaming "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yuki didn't have the slightest clue what he was sorry about and just said "You better be" and left it at that. Yuki began to read the letter from Shuichi's brother:

Dear Oniichan,

How are you? It's been while: two years to be exact. I'm still settled in England. I would like you and your friends to come to spend the summer with me. I would very much to meet Mr. Eiri Yuki.

Yuki stop to go in the Kitchen for a cup of coffee. He sat down in one of the chairs and continued to read the letter:

Well, I've learned a lot about your band and I'm impressed with your hard work. I look forward to your stay. Tell Hiro I said Hi ok? I'll be seeing you soon. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely your little bro,

Eric

At that moment Yuki spit out a mouth full of coffee and read it over "Sincerely your little bro, Eric." He had not been imagining it. The letter said little bro. How can it be that Shuichi is the second oldest in the Shindou Family?

He is so short and dumb. Yuki thought he was the youngest. If he was the youngest then there would be some excuse. Now that he learned that Shuichi's the oldest, what possible reason could there be for his behavior. 15 minutes after Yuki got dressed; Shuichi and he were now at NG studios. There was Tohma, Hiro, Fujisaki, K, Ryuichi and Tatsuha. "Hi everyone." Shuichi said running inside the room.

"Shuuuuuu-chaaaaaan." Ryuichi sung running to hug Shuichi but K got in the way. Pointing his gun at Shuichi he said "What is the meaning of this Shu-chan?"

"Well you see my younger brother wrote a letter inviting us to stay with him in England for the summer." K fired a warning shot.

"Don't lie we all know your too dumb to have a little brother." everyone nodded except Hiro.

"You guys are so mean." Shuichi whined. Hiro stepped up in front of Shuichi.

"He's not lying." Hiro stated. "He really does have a younger brother." everyone gasped.

"Hey don't act so surprised." Shuichi yelled. After explaining everything to everyone they agreed to meet tomorrow at the airport at dawn. On the way home Shuichi was going on about this next song but Yuki was not listening. He was thinking about why Shuichi never mentioned his brother. Maybe he and his brother had a bad history or it's his brother from another mother. Yuki decided to ask "Shuichi how come you never talked about your brother?"

There was a pause "You never asked." Shuichi said.

"WHAT?!"

"Well you're always saying 'Leave me alone brat, shut up brat or don't tell me unless I ask…. brat" Shuichi added. "So I didn't."

Yuki was clearly annoyed. Not just at that he was worried for nothing but at the stupid voice Shuichi used as him. He didn't sound as nearly as how Shuichi made him. Yuki stopped the car and pushed Shuichi out. As he drove off you could hear Shuichi yelling "Yuki your mean!" The next morning Yuki got up 5 minutes before dawn and got dressed. He was wearing a blue button down shirt and blue dress pants. He walked in the living room to find Shuichi. He was watching TV wearing an orange t-shirt and black cargo shorts. "So did you have fun walking home?" Yuki asked while grabbing his suitcase, his car keys and jacket.

"No I didn't jerk." Shuichi said grabbing his jacket and suitcase while heading for the door. They put their suitcases in the car and headed to the Tokyo Airport. They reached the airport at dawn. Everyone was waiting quietly.

"Hey you guys. I'm surprised that you're so quiet." Shuichi said.

"Why?" Hiro asked.

"Well I just thought you guys would be betting on if my brother is taller than me."

"But we did. Everyone betted that he was taller. Even Ryuichi and that's not really a bet." said Fugisaki.

"Sakuma-san you betted against me?" Shuichi asked teary eyed.

"I'm sorry shu-chan. Kumagoro made Ryuichi do it." he said waving the pink bunny in the air. Everyone was wearing something casual. Hiro had on a red t-shirt with blue jeans, Tohma had on a yellow long sleeve shirt with blue jeans, and K had on the usual a white dress shirt with gun and holster black tie and pants. Fujisaki had on a green long sleeve shirt and pants, Tatsuha was wearing a cream colored button down shirt with blue jeans, and Ryuichi had on a blue-green dress shirt with black pants.

Once they boarded the plane, everyone took their seats. "So Shindou-san how old is your brother?" asked Tohma.

"Well he is two years younger than me so he is 17."

"Why does he live in England?" asked Tatsuha.

"Well he was always the independent type. He wanted to support himself so he got a job as an intern. After about a year he moved to England where he works at a music company called Virtual Studios."

"I've heard about V. S." said Tatsuha. "They say it produces many of England's greatest talent."

"Really; Tohma surely you have heard of it?" asked Fujisaki. Tohma nodded.

"They have some amazing talent."

"Shu-chan is your brother anything like you?" asked Ryuichi.

"What do you mean Sakuma-san?"

"He's asking if he's smart." Yuki said while looking out the window. Shuichi pouted but answered.

"Well Eric is average. He wasn't exactly a straight A student. He got mostly B's in his classes." After about an hour everyone was asleep.

"Everyone we're landing in a few minutes. Thank you for flying Tokyo Airlines." Said a flight attendant. 15 minutes later they had landed and were now gathering their lugged in the waiting area looking around. Shuichi pointed in the direction of a boy standing at about 5 foot 4". He had black hair that stopped 1inch above his shoulder. His eyes were navy blue and he had on a mint green dress shirt and black pants. Also he was holding a sign that said "Shindou" on the front. Shuichi flung himself at the boy hugging him. The boy hugged him in return.

"Oniichan." Said the boy releasing Shuichi. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm great."

"I want you to meet my friends. This is my boss Tohma Seguchi, my manager K Winchester. This is my friend Ryuichi Sakuma, and this is my boyfriend Eiri Yuki with his brother Tatsuha Uesugi. You know Hiro." As he said this Hiro walked up and hugged Shuichi's brother that hugged back.

"It's good to see you Hiro-kun."

"Everyone this is my brother Eric."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you all."

"Shuichi told us you work at V. S." said Tatsuha.

"Yes I do."

"What exactly do you do?" asked Fujisaki.

"Well I do a lot of things like photographing, recording, managing, booking. Basically everything."

"Enough about me. We should get going. After we drop off your things I'll give you a tour of Virtual Studios." When they got outside they put their things in the back of Eric's truck and headed to the summer home. The summer home had 5 floors, 60 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms and 3 kitchens. When everyone was settled they went back to the truck and headed to V. S.

"So E-chan you like living in England?" asked Ryuichi.

"Sure do; I've met a lot of nice people who are like family to me."

"So did you meet anyone special yet Eric-kouhai?" Shuichi asked elbowing his brother. This caused him to blush.

"N-No! Well no, well not exactly anyway." Eric said still red in the face. "You see I work with him."

"So do you like him?" asked Tatsuha joining Shuichi in teasing his brother. "What is his name? Is he hot? Does he know you like him?" Tatsuha and Shuichi continued to integrate him.

"His name is Reiichi Daiskue and he's the lead singer of the band I'm working with called "Illusion."

"So you like him?" asked Hiro joining in the fun. Eric nodded.

"Alright! Operation: Help Eric win his love is a go." Shuichi said to Hiro, Tatsuha and now K who nodded. Ryuichi was oblivious to what was going on. Yuki, Tohma and Fujisaki just felt sorry for the boy who's love life was about to be ruined by the peanut gallery. They arrived at V. S. and to say it was huge was an understatement. It looked like a sky scrapper. The gang got out of the truck and stared for a few minutes. After that they entered.

"So Oniichan what do you mean operation Help Eric win his love?"

"It means we're going to help you win Reiichi-san's heart." said Hiro, Tatsuha, Shuichi, K and now Ryuichi.

"W-w-w-what!! Y-y-you can't." stuttered Eric.

"We can and we will." Said K pointing a gun at Eric. He nodded.

"May God have mercy on your soul." said Fujisaki. Tohma and Yuki nodded in agreement. As they kept walking they saw two men walking their way.

"Eiki, Kazuki!" Eric yelled. The two men walked over. "Everyone this is Eiki Masami." Eric pointed to the one with the dark brown shoulder length hair and light brown eyes. He was at least 6 inches taller than Eric. He was wearing a black t-shirt with light blue jeans.

"This is Kazuki Azumi." Eric pointed to the other man with short light blue hair with caramel colored eyes. He was the same height as Eric and was wearing a red t-shirt with dark blue jeans.

"Sup everyone." Eiki said with a light accent.

"Hello." Kazuki said with a light accent as well.

"Eiki, Kazuki this is Hiro, Tohma, Tatsuha, Ryuichi, Fujisaki, K, Yuki and my brother Shuichi." said Eric introducing each one.

"Hi." everyone said.

"So do you guys work here?" Tohma asked. Eiki and Kazuki nodded.

"They are the members of Illusion." Eric said. "Eiki's the base and Kazuki's the drum and keybord player. Where is Reiichi?"

"Oh he is in the band room getting his bag. We were just on our way to fine you. We got tired of waiting. But, you're here now so I guess we can get to practice." Eiki said.. As Eric was about to explain why he was late the gang saw a man coming down the hall.

"Hey you guys!" he yelled "You found him." The man had a thick English accent. As he came closer everyone was stunned. The man had light jade eyes with long mid-night black hair that was in a braid. It came to his hip. He was wearing a white turtle neck with tight black jeans.

"Reiichi these are Eric's friends and this is his brother. The reason he was late was because he had to go pick them up at the airport." said Eiki.

"I see; Hi everyone I'm Reiichi the lead singer of Illusion.."

"So you're showing them around?" asked Kazuki. Eric nodded.

"Ok we'll help." said Eiki.

"N-no you don't have to." said Eric.

"We want to right Reiichi?" asked Eiki. Reiichi nodded.

"So where do you want to go first?" asked Kazuki.

"Some place with ice cream!!" yelled Shuichi and Ryuichi.

"Ok ice cream it is." Reiichi said. They headed towards an ice cream stand.
