Chapter 2: The Boys

'Welcome to Yokohama. Arrival time today is 8:04 A.M.'

Kyra and Shuichi paused in their card game. They had gotten to know each other during the long ride and were currently in the middle of "Go Fish".

"Awesome, we're here," Kyra began putting away the cards.

"Damn. I was finally winning too," grumbled Shuichi.

The woman kept talking over the speakers.

"I want to do that," said Kyra, pulling a bag over her shoulder.

"What?" asked Shuichi.

"That speaker thing. It'd be neat, I think."

Shuichi shook his head and the two of them stepped off the train.

"So where do you live?" Shuichi asked, holding his ice cream cone they'd bought in the station.

"In a condo. It's rather big, so I have plenty of room," Kyra licked her fingers after devouring her ice cream cone she bought 5 minutes ago.

Shuichi was baffled at this. She ate food like a goat and yet maintained a slim, model-type figure.

"Yokohama's big. Seems like there's so much to do here," Shuichi said to no one in particular.

"Oh, yes. This is going to be so much fun. Just wait until the boys meet you!" Shuichi stopped dead in his tracks; Kyra walked on unaware.

"Boys?"

Hiro hit a few strings on his guitar. He was waiting for Shuichi in the rehearsal room, while Suguru went to go get some drinks. It was 10:15 AM and he hadn't heard from the singer all morning. He wondered if something had happened to him. Shuichi had been pretty stressed the past week.

It wasn't long before Suguru returned with the drinks. "Shuichi here yet?"

"Nah."

"I wonder where he is."

"So do I. Hopefully Mr. K might've found him."

"Mr. K?"

"Yeah. He came in right after you left. He asked where Shuichi was and I told him I didn't know. Next thing ya know, he's charging out the door to go find him."

Suguru sweat dropped at this. He partially hoped, for Shuichi's sake, the American didn't find him.

Stress overcame the two members of Bad Luck. It was now 11:27 AM and no sign of Shuichi or Mr. K.

"Maybe we should just go home." Suguru said.

"…..I guess we have no choice, huh?"

The two got up and headed for the door. Hiro's hand was inches away from the handle before the door was busted open. The two screamed and fell back on their backs. Mr. K stood over them.

"You know, for a manager who says he's here to help us, you sure as HELL make a lot of attempts on our lives!" Hiro shouted, heart pounding.

"Drat, and here I was hoping you wouldn't catch on," he said in a mocking tone. Though no smile or smirk crossed his face.

"Did you find anything?" Suguru asked, dusting himself.

The American took off his sunglasses and swung them around a little bit. "Yes, but I hope it's not true."

The two looked at him, puzzled. "Well?" Hiro pushed.

"From what I'm aware of he went back to his and Yuki's home after rehearsal yesterday," he stopped swinging his sunglasses and placed them on top of his head.

"But when I was looking for him I found some people who said they saw him heading into the train station late last night. They were boasting to their friends in a café that they'd seen him."

"Who were the people?"

"Some girls who got drunk partying last night."

The two sweat dropped. "Well then, HOW do you know they weren't imagining things?" Hiro crossed his arms, aggravated.

"Because, one of the girls was somber last night and she saw him too. Being crazed fan girls, they ran in there to see if it was really him."

"AND?"

"And the last they saw of him was when he boarded a train."

Hiro's arms drooped as he listened. "You're joking."

"I'm afraid not."

Suguru let gravity sit him on the floor with a thump. Hiro, however, remained standing.

"Shuichi…..left us?"

"I'm not sure. But he didn't call and hasn't been seen anywhere."

"What are we going to do? We have a concert in six days!" Suguru shouted from his spot on the floor.

"Well, we have to go find him for one."

"How? We don't even know where he went!"

They all pondered for a moment. "Why would Shuichi run away?" Hiro said aloud.

"Maybe because of all the stress the two of you have been giving him," they both looked up at the cop. "Well, he WAS having problems. We have a concert coming up and he couldn't even carry a tune for more that a minute!"

"Well something made him run away, Hiro. We need to figure out what."

Hiro pondered this for a moment. Then a thought snapped into his head, and he pushed past Mr. K.

"Hiro! Where are you going?" Suguru shouted.

"Are you going to look for him, Hiro?" Hiro looked back at Mr. K, a deep frown on his face.

"Nope," he said, before exiting.

"I'm going to make a phone call," they heard him call down the hall.

Yuki sat on his couch, newspaper in hand. He wasn't really reading it though. He couldn't concentrate on anything except a pink haired boy. Why hadn't Shuichi called? Aggravated, he tossed his newspaper aside and turned on the news on TV.

They talked about the weather then switched over to a review about some big hit movie. They showed the names of the stars, starting with the main character, Ms. Choshi.

He didn't have time to see her picture though. Seconds later he heard his phone ring loudly. 'Could it be Shuichi?' he quickly rushed over and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ta da!" Kyra shouted as she opened the door to her condo.

It was very nice. A big screen TV sat across from 3 comfortably looking couches. A three-seater, a love seat, and an arm chair.

"Go ahead and look around!" she said, marching off into another room.

Shuichi stood there for a moment, then took her advice and explored the place. It was indeed rather roomy, and it had a patio with a wonderful view.

He walked around and eventually came to the kitchen. Everything you cook with including the refrigerator and dishwasher was black. The stove, the oven, the microwave, even the toaster. She had three islands with knives and other utensils on them. On her counter next to the fridge was a bowl.

Shuichi was about to leave before he noticed the bowl move. He stopped and looked at it. It moved again. Slowly, he inched his was over to it. He couldn't tell what was in it though, because there was a towel over it.

Quietly, he lifted the cloth, and…..

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Kyra poked her head out of her room.

"Get it off! Get it off!" Shuichi pried at something furry gripping to his face.

He pulled really hard and tossed it away from him, tumbling back in the process. He looked down and saw an orange tabby hissing at him.

"A cat?"

The cat gave a loud 'meow' before jolting off out the door. Shuichi followed after it, and as soon as he exited the doorway, found himself face to face with the tabby and about seven other cats. It was like a little cat gang.

The tabby hissed and jumped at him, as did the other cats. He began shouting, then he laughed as one of them found his way down his shirt.

"Ha ha ha-s-stop! He he he he ha ha-get of-f….get off!"

He couldn't stop laughing as three more cats went down his shirt and continued tickling him. It didn't take long before he felt something wet in his pants. Still laughing, he swore under his breath.

"S…..s…shit! snort hahahahah! STOP!"

He couldn't take it anymore…..and he didn't. He heard a low, deep growl as all the cats suddenly scattered in every direction away from him. Shuichi looked up to see what caused the noise, and it didn't take him long to find it. After all, it was right behind him.

He turned and came face to face with the black eyes of a huge, brown husky it seemed. It was baring its teeth and did NOT, from any angle, look friendly.

"Holy-," the dog gave a loud bark before he finished, and Shuichi didn't hesitate a moment.

As quick as humanly possible, he stood up and zoomed over to the couches, the dog following him. He ran around the three-seater, but the dog jumped over.

So he ran down a hallway and into a room, closing the door behind him.

"Mew," he froze and turned around to see the cat gang.

Only now they had a new member. He didn't know which one, but he knew. Last time they had eight, this time they had nine.

"Damn."

They all gave a loud hiss and Shuichi quickly fled the room as they all bounded toward him. He looked to his left just in time to see the husky run by. He also looked just in time to see the dog back up and pursue him again.

He quickly ran to his right and turned down a hall way. He was a little late to discover it wasn't a hallway, but in fact a bathroom. He turned to run but found two new surprises. Two more dogs. One was a black Labrador, the other a dark brown one.

They looked a little nicer, but no more welcoming than the husky…..who, by the way, joined the two. Shuichi quickly retreated to the top of the sink. The three dogs came straight at him, ready to bite. He screamed bloody murder and jumped over them, out of the bathroom.

He had no idea where he was going. Sometimes he would pass the dogs, sometimes the cats, and sometimes Kyra who was trying to figure out where he was.

He came to a small flight of stairs and climbed them. The animals still chased. 'GOD! It's like being in a damn jungle!' as soon as he got to the top, he saw that across from him was a railing that stood over the living room. He looked back at the dogs and then at the ground.

"This is a nightmare!" he leaped over the railing just as the dogs reached him.

Luckily he landed on the couch. He groaned and sat up, looking back up at the dogs. They had their two front paws on the railing and were looking down at him, barking. They then left the railing and headed back down the stairs.

Shuichi stood to turn and run, but found himself face to face with the biggest problem yet. A dog that not only looked like one, but was also the size of a wolf.

"Holy shit," he trembled. This dog did not bare its teeth, or growl, and yet it looked more ominous than the other three.

It opened its jaws and looked like it was about ready to chomp down on his head.

"HEY! Get down!"

The wolf/dog thing closed its mouth and jumped off the couch. Shuichi didn't have to turn to know that Kyra backed all the things away from him.

"You OK?" she asked.

He didn't move, but his eyes were watering. She walked over to him and shook him.

"Hey? Are you alright?"

"I…..I need to go change."

He turned and headed off towards the bathroom, picking up his bag as he passed it.

As Shuichi changed his pants and fixed his hair, he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, Shuichi!" Kyra called.

"Hm?"

"I'll be right back. I have to go get some groceries."

Shuichi froze. She was going to leave him? Alone? With those animals? Well, he sure as hell wasn't going to leave the bathroom. Kyra guessed what he was thinking by the ongoing silence.

"And don't worry, I locked them all in a room. You're safe."

Shuichi quickly finished and opened the door just in time to see her leave. He looked around at his surroundings and for the first time since he left home, felt very alone. Sitting down in front of the TV, he turned on the news. Nothing big, so he went to a movie channel.

There was a good one called 'Always' he'd seen some of it before, so he went into the kitchen, made some popcorn, and went back out and watched it.

It was an hour into the two and a half hour movie, and he heard a click. It came from the door and he assumed it was just Kyra. He became unsure however, when the door softly opened and softly closed, just barely loud enough for him to hear.

He became still. Was it a thief? He wasn't sure how to react, so he just sat there, pretending to watch the movie, all the while darting his eyes around for the someone who'd just entered. He saw them, or at least part of them, against the doorframe of the kitchen.

He felt the hairs on his neck rise and his pulse quicken. What was happening? He wasn't sure, but it happened all too quickly. In less than a second, he saw the person move closer and shot up to run. The person quickly tackled him, and pinned him face down on the ground.

Shuichi began to sweat as fear came over as he tried to struggle back to his feet. He could tell by the feel of the body against his it was a man; and a very strong one at that. Shuichi screamed and screamed and flailed his arms until the man caught them and pinned them down as well.

"GET OFF!" Shuichi shouted. The man simply pressed him harder to the ground. Shuichi groaned in pain. "OW! KYRA, HELP!"

There was a long pause in which the man loosened his grip and Shuichi stopped struggling. Suddenly, the weight shifted before it was gone. The man was off him, and he quickly seized the opportunity to turn around. It was indeed a man. He stood about Yuki's height and looked about his age with spiky jet black hair and cool green eyes. His outfit was that of a tank top and slacks and the man was built like an athlete.

A few seconds past before he spoke, his voice cool yet demanding. "Who are you?" he asked.

Shuichi blinked and got to his feet. "Huh?"

"Who are you?"

Shuichi was quiet for a minute before responding. "Shu- Shuichi."

"And you're here because…..of Kyra?" Shuichi was confused.

"Y-yeah. I'm staying here for a while. She said I could."

The man's eyes seemed to bulge.

"You mean you're rooming here?"

"Yeah," Shuichi said, shifting his position. "Who're you?"

The man blinked. "Kyo. Kyra and I live here together – she's my sister."

Yeesh. No offense, but you guys could've at least waited till I posted this chapter for the suggestions. Thanks anyway though. I just got some ideas. evil smirk
