Jas: OK, this is the first chapter for New Life's drabbles! This is a crossover one! If you have not seen the Gravitation anime, DO NOT READ! You will not know anyone in this chapter! Ok, now that that's out of the way, let's get to the disclaimer, and then the drabble! I OWN NOTHING! No, not even Gravitation. Although that would be awesome. Anyway, on with the show!
Had you asked Eiri Yuki if a couple hours earlier if he would have a five year old girl sleeping on his couch, he would've most like called you an idiot, and walked away. Now, if you had added that it was Akihiko Usami's adopted daughter that was sleeping on his couch, his answer probably would've been much different. Yuki stared at the girl as she slept soundly.
She was small, and fragile looking, almost as if she was made of glass. Her long curly hair was the color of chocolate, and went almost to her waist. Her skin was tan, telling him she probably wasn't oriental. He glared slightly at her, and thought back to his earlier conversation with the girl's father.
Earlier that morning…..
"YYYYYYYYUUUUUUKKKKKIIIII!" The blond man sighed as he heard his younger lover burst into the room. "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Wake up!" Shuichi yelled at the top of his shrill voice, he saw the lump under the blankets, and crept up beside the bed. "Yuuuuuuuuuki!" He pounced on it.
"Brat! I'm trying to sleep!" The novelist yelled, trying to get the pinkett off of his back. "What the hell do you want!"
"There's someone on the phone for you!" The singer said, ignoring the man's annoyed glare, "Come on! They said it was important!"
"WHO!" The blonde yelled.
"Some guy named Akihiko."
Eiri froze slightly. It had been almost a year since he had heard from his old college friend. It wasn't that they had left on bad terms or anything; they just failed to keep in touch, was all. Not that he really saw the need, if anything really happened, Takahiro or Kamijou would call him and tell him right away. So, it was rare he actually got a call from the man himself. Must really be important.
Yuki got up, his brat still clinging to his side, but, he was used to the extra weight, he went into the living room and picked up the phone where Shuichi left it. "Hello?" He said, into the phone.
"Eiri, nice to hear from you ag- LUNA! Get down from there!" Yuki pulled the phone away and looked at it quickly, What the hell? "Sorry about that," Akihiko apologized, "Children are a handful, how are you? I'm pretty sure I just talked a little to your little lover," Yuki rolled his eyes as he heard the smirk in the man's voice, and pulled out a cigarette, "Isn't he the lead singer of some band or something?"
"Yes, actually," Yuki mumbled, blowing out the smoke, and trying to said singer off, "But, I'm pretty sure you didn't just call to talk about me, what do you want?"
His glare became harder as he heard the man laugh; just what the hell was he planning? "Well, you see, I have some business I have to attend to nearby, but, the hotel I was planning on staying at is fully booked, so, they have no rooms. My editor will skin me if she finds out, so, can I stay at your place for a couple days?"
"No." Was the blonde's blunt reply.
"Bu-"
"I said no, Akihiko." Yuki repeated, his eye twitching slightly, "I already have enough on my plate without adding you and some brat to the mix."
"Actually, it would be two brats." The man on the other end muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing," Usagi lied quickly, "Anyway, I think I have a way to convince you to let me stay." The smirk was almost visible through the phone.
"Oh yeah?" Yuki said, unconvinced, "How?"
"You owe me."
The words made the man curse loudly. "Damn it! I almost forgot about that! I was hoping you would!"
The laugh coming through the phone made Yuki's blood boil. "Oh, an author never forgets." The older laughed, "Anyway, you owe me, and I know you Yuki, so, when's good time for me to come over?"
Present….
Yuki growled slightly at the memory, and heard someone chuckle behind him, "What? You're still upset about that?" Akihiko asked, walking over to the couch.
Yuki glared at him, "Shut up," He growled.
"Uh, Eiri-sensei," He turned and his glare at the burnet in his kitchen, making Misaki flinch, and Eiri earned a glare himself. "I-I wa-was wondering, a-are you or Shindo-san a-allergic to an-anything?" He asked, shakily.
"You're cooking?" Yuki asked, surprised.
"Y-yes," Misaki nodded, and explained hurriedly, "I thought it would make up for us intruding on you and Shindo-san!" He said, quickly, trying to explain his actions.
Yuki sighed, and shook his head, "No. We're not."
"O-ok, I'll make some stew than." Misaki hurried into the kitchen, and began making dinner, "Usagi-san! Why don't you take Luna to the bedroom, so she doesn't wake up!" He called to his lover.
"Alright," The silver haired author called back. He lifted the girl up, trying not to wake her, but, the girl yawned, and Yuki was surprised to see large lilac eyes.
"Daddy?" She mumbled, rubbing her large eyes.
"Huh?" Yuki said, looking to her father, "When did you become a father?"
"Quite some time ago, Misaki found her, and we took her in." He shrugged.
Luna stared at the man intently, before looking up at her daddy and asking, "Where's Papa?"
"In the kitchen!" Misaki called to them. Luna smiled, and ran in.
"So, how long is this going to take?" Yuki asked, "I want you out as soon as possible."
Usagi laughed, and sat down, taking out a smoke, and lighting it up, "Well, a week at the most, I promise,"
Yuki snorted, "I trust your promises are just about as much as I trust the brat in the kitchen." He mumbled, lowly. Usagi-san didn't understand the comparison, but, decided to probably wasn't a good thing.
The only reason Yuki even took the three in at all was because he owed Akihiko a big favor. You see, the first novel Eiri had ever written was submitted and the company really actually liked it, but, he had been a bit young. Had Akihiko not put in a good word, he probably would've had had to wait a couple more years. So, when he found out, Yuki promised that he'd repay the man one way or another.
This was the 'another.'
"Oh, and I have one request,"
"What now?" Eiri growled, almost about to bite his smoke in half.
"Can one of you watch Luna while Misaki and I are working? I know it's a bit of a stretch, but, I'd rather not take her to those parties. She's very….shy, and doesn't like big crowds."
"Why would that be?" The blonde asked, showing vague interest.
"She's was abused." The words made the man freeze. "Her mother died when she was a baby, we have no idea who her real father is, or was, but, she was taken away by some man, and he abused her. So, I'm asking, actually, more like ordering," His lilac eyes narrowed dangerously, "Be nice to her, or you'll regret it." He growled.
Yuki nodded, understanding why the man was so protective. "Fine." He took another long drag of his smoke before crushing it out, and saying, " But if you hurt Shuichi, I'll hurt you."
The next morning…..
Luna stared up at the huge building that her Daddy NG records or, something like that. She was a little scared, neither her Papa or Daddy were with her, and the grip on the hand she was holding tightened. Shuichi looked down at the little girl, and smiled softly, and said, "Hey, don't be afraid Luna, your big brother Shuichi will protect you, alright?"
Luna smiled, and nodded. The second these two met the previous night, they had hit it off. It was kinda of funny really, they weren't really all that alike, what with Luna being a bit more withdrawn in a new setting, and Shuichi never ever getting down from his permeate sugar high. But, strangle enough they got along very well, and Shuichi even told Luna to call him her big brother.
Something that made Misaki laugh.
The pinkett picked the little girl up, and carried her toward the building, she stared at everything with her large, lilac eyes, and, although the questions ran through her brain, she stayed very silent. Shuichi asked, "You nervous?"
She nodded quickly, and looked back to the building, "You work here?" She got a nod, and asked, "What do you do?"
"I'm a singer, for the band Bad Luck." He said, happily.
"Hey! Papa listens to that band sometimes!" Luna cheered happily. "You have a really pretty voice!" She said.
Shuichi smiled hugely, and hugged the girl a little, "Why thank you! I'm happy to have such a cute little fan." Luna blushed, and laughed slightly.
"Shuichi!" The young man turned at the voice of his best friend. "Oh, hey, who's this?" Hiro said as he ran up to him. "You and Yuki finally decided to adopt, did you?" He smirked.
"Nooooooooo!" Shuichi almost whined, "This is Luna! Yuki's friend is staying over for work, and she's with him." He placed Luna on the ground, and Hiro kneeled so he was at her level.
"Hey, Luna," He smiled, kindly, "My name's Hiroshi, but, you can call me Hiro, alright?"
Luna smiled shyly, and nodded, "Nice to meet you, Hiro." Her voice was timid and soft.
Hiro smiled, and looked to Shuichi, "She's staying for the day?"
"Yeah, bother her parents had to work, and I didn't want to leave her all alone with Yuki," the singer explained, "So, I brought her!"
Hiro smiled and said, "Cool, always nice to meet new people."
"Shuichi! Hiro!" Both men looked up, and saw Suguru running up to them, "Come on, we have to start practice." Luna hid slightly behind Shuichi's leg front the boy, and he didn't seem to even notice her, and even if he did, he didn't care.
"Fine, fine, lemme just find someone to watch Luna for a bit, ok?" Shuichi asked, "Actually," he smiled, "Luna, come on, you'll get to hear us play live instead." Luna smiled, and followed the pinkett to the studio.
The minute the door swung open, Shuichi found himself at the wrong end of a magnum. "You're late. Again." A certain gun crazed American growled lowly to the singer.
Shuichi laughed nervously, "C-come on, K, it's only five minutes at the most."
"Try half an hour,"
"Er….oh, sorry about that, I just had something I nee-"
"Leave Shuichi alone!" They all heard, and saw Luna try and kick the blonde. K looked down at the small burnet and found a pair of lilac eyes glaring up at him. "He didn't do anything!"
The silence that filled the air was so thick, you probably could've cut it with a knife.
Suddenly, a loud, joy filled noise filled the air. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it was K laughing. Luna suddenly found herself being lifted in the air, and saw K had done so. "You, my little friend, have a very promising life in being a manager, would you be interested?"
Luna chuckled, and shook her head, "No, thank you, my Daddy and Papa would probably bbe very upset." She giggled.
K picked up two very important words, and automatically thought, "So, Yuki and Shuichi finally adopted, did they? THAT'LL MAKE GREAT PUBLICITY FOR THE BAND!"
Shuichi finally spoke up, "K! Nooooooo! Luna's not our daughter, I'm just watching her for the day, is all!"
K seemed a bit disappointed, but nodded, and placed Luna back on the ground, "Fine, you guys start playing."
Half an hour later….
"Um….K, I'm hungry." Luna told the gun loving manager.
"Shuichi is still playing, can you wait a little while?"
Her growling stomach answered for her.
K sighed, and pulled his wallet out, "Here," He handed her some money, "There's a machine down the hall, get as much as you like."
Luna nodded, took the money, and left the room, as soon as the door shut; the five year old realized she had no idea where to go. Her eye twitched a bit in irritation. Baka American, She thought as she started walking down the hall, He could've at least told me where down the hall was. She sighed, Looks like I'm gonna be searching for a bit.
Despite the front Luna put on for everyone, she was still the smart aleck little girl that Usagi and Misaki knew and loved. She hardly acted as such in public much anymore, seeing as how she had no real need to do so. She actually somewhat enjoyed being that naïve little girl everyone thought her out to be. She no longer had to come up with responses that actually made sense, or have to really act mature.
Although, times like the present one, she really wished she didn't act.
She sighed again and continued forward, Next time, I'm gonna ask to go to work with Daddy, She thought, At least I can have some fun than. The young girl looked around, making sure to keep track of doors, paintings and such that hung in the hall so she wouldn't get lost. She turned the corner, and stopped when she saw a two men walking down the hall, one burnet and one blonde with a hat on. She cocked her head the side, and remembered seeing posters of the burnet in the hall ways, and one picture somewhere for the blonde.
Were they singers? Artists? Workers? Luna couldn't be sure, all she knew was that she probably should turn around and walk back to the studio, and just wait for Shuichi to finish recording instead of getting lost in the hall ways.
Apparently, God was against her.
Luna stopped when she felt something touch her shoulder, she looked back, and saw a raven haired man with glasses, he had a nervous smile, and looked like he was trying not to scare the young girl in front of him.
Too bad Luna had a faint heart.
The young girl squeaked, and fell back on the floor in the middle of the hallway. Her heart was racing, and she was scared stiff. Damn her past guardian, this was his entirefault. She never would scare so easily if that bastard hadn't done what he had to her. She stared at the man, fearful tears gathering in her eyes, as she shook slightly.
Suddenly, a bunny was blocking her view.
She blinked, her tears drying almost immediately. Suddenly, the burnet was above her, smiling. "HI!" She flinched at his loud words. "My name's Ryuichi, and this is Mr. Bear!" He said, holding up the rabbit.
Luna cocked her head to the side, "But isn't he a rabbit?"
"That's the point!" Ryuichi exclaimed.
"Ryuichi, maybe we should allow our small friend to stand, and introduce herself." The blonde said, calmly. "Hello, little one," He smiled kindly at her, and lifted her on to her feet, "My name's Touma,"
Luna gave a shy smile, and said, "My name's Luna." She said, softly.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Luna, may I ask what you're doing here without any adult supervision?"
Luna held back the snort she wanted so badly to make, I'm more worried about the guy with the stuffed rabbit. I mean, he seems nice, but kinda out there. I've heard both their names before, Yuki had been yelling at Shuichi about some guy named Touma, I think. She thought long and hard and suddenly it came to her, "You're the president!" She exclaimed, out loud.
Touma Seguchi smiled kindly, "That I am, but, you still haven't answered my question."
"Oh," She looked down embarrassed, "I'm here with Mr. Shuichi and he's working right now. I got hungry, K told me to go and find the machine. The thing is, he didn't tell me where the machine was, so I kinda got lost. Sorry," She laughed nervously.
The president smiled, "It's quite alright, K use dot be my manager, and I know he can sometimes leave out important information when it comes to something other than the band. Don't worry, Ryuichi, let's take Luna to get something to eat, and then take her back to the recording studio Bad Luck it stationed in, what to you say?"
"Yea! Let's eat!" The man ran off with his bunny, leaving the other two behind.
Luna had only one thought at the moment, This guy is crazier than Daddy.
A couple hours later…..
Shuichi was frantic. He couldn't find Luna anywhere, and he was extremely worried (which was a strange emotion for Hiro to see on his best friends face). "Crap! Crap! Crrraapppp!" The singer yelled, opening and closing doors as he searched. "Yuki's gonna kill me! And then Akihiko-san and Misaki-san are gonna kill me! WAAAAA!" The pink haired boy burst into tears.
Hiro sighed, and patted his friend on the back, and said, "Don't worry, Shuichi, Luna will be just fine. She's a smart girl, she probably went downstairs to wait for us."
The younger was quickly back on his feet and he nodded, "You're right Hiro! She's probably down stairs right now!" He was gone in a flash.
"You're pretty good at that." K noted. "Even Yuki has a hard time cheering that kid up."
Hiro shrugged, "What can I say? It's a talent you have to have when dealing with Shuichi Shindo." He said, and went to follow his friend, "We better catch up to him, he's probably gonna tear the place down just looking for Luna."
"LUNA!" Shuichi cried when he saw the little girl sitting at a table eating. The girl was half tackled into a hug "YOU'RE ALRIGHT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HURT!"
"Shu," She gasped "Cant…..breathe!"
"Oh, sorry!" He released her quickly. Luna gasped for breath, and Shuichi asked, "Are you alright?"
Luna smiled, and nodded, "Uh huh! Touma-san and Ryuichi-san found me, and brought down here to eat." She said.
Touma smiled, and said, "She's quite the young girl, Shuichi,"
"Shuichi!" Ryuichi glomped the young singer in a hug.
"Thanks guys, I was really worried about her," Shuichi admitted. "I don't know how to thank you." He laughed.
"How about you get at least a thousand people at your next concert, and we'll consider it even," The president smiled.
Shuichi knew this was no problem, seeing as how their concerts were always packed with fans. "Deal!"
"Luna!" Everyone turned, and saw Misaki coming up to them. The burnet ran over, and smiled, "Thanks for taking care of her, Shuichi, Usa- I mean, Akihiko and I really appreciate it," He smiled, and Luna ran to her Papa.
"Papa!" She cheered, and hugged the college students legs, "Guess what? I met the president, and the singer from the band Nittle Grasper!"
Misaki smiled, "I can see that," He looked to the two other men, "I hope she didn't bother you guys, she's kinda a hand full sometimes," he admitted.
"No, not at all," Touma said, shaking his head and smiling kindly. "She's quite an interesting girl, she's very sweet,"
Misaki smiled, and nodded his thanks, than looked to Shuichi, "Thanks again, I'll see you later."
"Bye guys!" Luna called as they walked away.
Later that night…
"So, what did you really do all day?" Misaki asked Luna as he bathed her.
She smirked, and said, "Well, I really did go to the recording room, but, I got hungry, and their manager said to go and get some food from a machine. I got lost cause the American didn't give me good directions, I bumped into Touma and Ryuichi and they took me to get something to eat while we waited for Shuichi to realize I was missing."
Misaki chuckled, and said, "You're too mischievous for your own good, you know that, right?"
Luna smiled, and nodded, "Of course I do. Or else I'd be lost in the world."
Misaki chuckled again, and both thought.
This is going to be a really long week.
Jas: That's it. For now. If any of you guys have ideas for what else can go on while these three are visiting Yuki and Shuichi just send it in! I'll be sure to do a chapter!
Ok, I'm gonna re-do the rules, mainly because I feel that it's probably the right thing to do at this point.
PLEASE REREAD THEM! I ADDED ANOTHER RULE!
1: You can make it any time in any of their lives, so, if you want to have Luna and Kasai as teenagers, I'll write them as teenagers! If you want to see their lives as babies, I'll write them as babies! Anything you want!
2: If you guys want cross overs to other animes, pm me about those first, I am planning on making the first chapter a cross over with the anime Gravitation, you'll see what I mean when you read it, it'll be pretty funny.
3: I'd rather not do dark drabbles, but, like I said, it's up to you. If you do want to do a darker one, you'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want for the chapter, I'm not really good at dark things.
4: if you want smut, than it's smut you shall get. But, I have to warn you, I suck at them.
5: If you all see a drabble you like, you can request a continuation of it, it doesn't matter if you or another person came up with the original idea, it can, and if you want, will be done. You just have to come up with what will happen in that chapter.
Jas: OH! ONE MORE THING! I've been getting people asking if Hiroki, Nowaki and Kasai are allowed to be in here. OF COURSE THEY ARE! Egotist is actually my favorite couple. But, I digress, now, hit the review button and tell me what you all think!
