Chapter 2 - Just Another Toy
Eiri inwardly smirked. He stepped aside. "Please come in," he said politely. Suzu looked at him calmly. "Thank you," She replied walking in. He seemed completely different to the person he had been not that long ago. Eiri watched as she walked the hall a bit more. She was looking around his apartment. 'What was her name again?' Eiri asked himself watching her. His gaze wandered down to her lower back and then to her ass. 'But as they say, what's in a name?'.
Suzu stopped and turned to face Eiri. She had felt someone watching her, and guessing it was only the two in the apartment she knew it was him. "Can I please have the manuscript I have a busy schedule today." Suzu told him holding her hands behind her back. Truth was, this was the only thing she had to do, but she was starting to feel uneasy. She remembered Mizuki saying that Eiri was sleeping around more than usual after his break up, and Suzu did not want to wind up in this guys bed.
Eiri studied her eyes. She was lying. She was a bad liar, but he thought he should humour her for a little bit. "Of course, let me just go get it, help yourself to a mug of coffee in the kitchen." Eiri said pointing to a room on her left as he walked into the study. He picked up the manuscript and walked back out again. When he came out to the hall, the girl was right where he left her. He reached out his arm with the manuscript in and she reached out to take it. She clasped it firmly in her hands and Eiri smirked and pulled at the manuscript, and her with it. She ended up colliding with him which was of course his aim. Eiri smiled kindly. The Uesugi charm. "I'm sure you could stay for a little bit longer?" He said questioningly. Suzu got slightly nervous and smiled unsure of what was going to happen.
"I'm afraid not, I have to meet someone in about a half hour." She said shakily.
"Well that's a shame…" Eiri said giving her a smile and a look that no girl could resist. Suzu was no exception. She was drawn into the Uesugi charm like a magnet. However as she tried to move she slipped and knocked Eiri over. "I'm so sorry!" She said pushing herself up a bit. "I really have to go!" she said trying to get up. Just as she was about to get to her knees, Eiri raised himself slightly. His face was inches from hers.
"You're really bad at lying, you know that?" he said smirking. Suzu's eyes grew wide as he said this. Damn! Her cover was blown. Although she tried to think of something to get her out of this, she was interrupted by a danger she had been warned about.
Suzu felt herself give in and kiss Eiri back. It was nice to feel wanted like that. His arms stretched round to her back and pulled her onto him. She didn't resist. She was too caught up in her own thing. Eiri rolled her over so he was on top and smirked down at her. Suzu's face and eyes were emotionless. Eiri didn't care. He slipped her trench coat off her arms as his fingers traced the hem of her t-shirt. The manuscript lay off to the side forgotten…
Suzu sighed pulling her jeans on. Eiri was asleep on his stomach on the opposite side of the bed. He looked so sweet sleeping, but the one thing she had tried to avoid…she had done. She silently walked out of the bedroom and picked up her t-shirt and trench coat. She slipped on her boots and grabbed the manuscript, running out of the apartment building as quick as possible. It was dark outside now, they had been at it for a while, and then had fallen asleep. 'Damn how could I be so stupid!' Suzu thought to herself. She was walking away when her mobile rang. She brought it up to her ear. "Hey Mizuki," She said yawning.
"WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU!?!?!!?" Mizuki yelled at her down the phone.
"Getting the Manuscript," Suzu said nervously walking the route back to her home.
"FOR 12 HOURS!?!?!?!?!"
"I'm sorry, I guess, I fell for it…the Uesugi charm I mean…" There was a long sigh.
"Suzu…didn't I warn you about the Uesugi charm! He's a bastard flirt!!"
"I know I know! I couldn't help it, but I got the manuscript!" Suzu said hopefully.
"I'll come and get it tomorrow thanks anyway." Mizuki said before hanging up. Suzu put her phone away and continued her walk home.
"…WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID TO COMMIT!!! I ONLY ASKED IF YOU COULD STOP SLEEPING AROUND!!!" Shuichi yelled loudly.
"WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!?!?!?" Eiri argued.
"I'M NOT TELLING YOU I'M ASKING YOU!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT ME!!" Shuichi yelled back. Eiri had never seen him so heated.
"I RUN MY OWN LIFE!!" Shuichi stomped his foot.
"Fine do what you want I don't care!" Shuichi snapped. He grabbed his coat.
"And where in hell are you going brat?" Eiri asked coldly.
"I'm staying at Hiro's tonight. I should be back tomorrow after work!" Shuichi replied. With that he threw open the front door and slammed it behind him, leaving Eiri alone in the apartment. Just the start of a series of long, heated arguments…
Eiri shot up in bed. Sweat covered his face. He twisted and sat up. It was then he noticed that the girl wasn't there. It didn't surprise Eiri that she left. He climbed out of bed and walked out into the hall. The manuscript was gone too. Eiri walked into the lounge area and sat on a sofa. He was surprised to see that on his phone was a message on his answer machine. Eiri reached over and pressed the button to hear the message. "Hey Yuki, just the usual update on Shu-chan…" It was Hiro. "…He seems alright, he, just as always, is a little moody from time to time, but is generally the same old Shu-chan. We're going on tour soon, you really should try to call him, even if it's just say good luck on the tour. We'll be back in two months, I'll call you for the usual update then. I know I agreed to do this but don't you think you should try calling Shu yourself? sigh anyway until next time." Eiri sighed and deleted the message. 'Call Shu myself…no…I can't…' he thought to himself.
A week or so later, the start of Bad Luck's tour, Suzu was at a bar, alone. She took a large gulp from her drink. "Tough day Suzu?" The bartender asked.
"The absolute worst! First the band I'm meant to be producing doesn't even show up! Then some crazy manager from upstairs was firing his gun again and giving me a splitting head ache! I went up to complain and got almost run down by a mad pink ball of fluff!!!! And then I had a meeting with Tohma to top the day off! FANTASTIC JUST FANTASTIC!!!" Suzu said taking another large gulp. "Oh and there's also the fact that ever since I ended up sleeping with some author my cousins the editor for, she's been off with me and trying to pair me up with some other random people! Geese I slept with him not married him!" She complained again.
"Why would I marry you?" A familiar voice behind her asked. Suzu turned around and looked up to see Eiri Uesugi. He had sunglasses on to try and hide his face. He sat down next to her and ordered a drink. "Oh…great…" Suzu muttered.
"Was I really that much of annoyance?" He asked.
"Yes, yes you where."
"That's not what you said last time we met."
"Well I'm going to say that when we're doing it,"
"Your not very tactful when your drunk are you?"
"No not really no…" Suzu shot the last of her drink and paid.
"You're not driving are you?" Eiri asked as he shot his drink too.
"No walking!" Suzu said walking towards the door. For being drunk she could walk pretty straight.
"I'll give you a lift." Eiri said paying and getting his car keys out. Eiri wasn't even drunk in the slightest. Suzu raised an eyebrow at him, knowing he had different motives. He put a hand on her back and directed her to his car.
Within moments they were in Eiri's apartment. He slipped off the leather jacket she was wearing and pressed himself against her. Suzu didn't smile but didn't move. He kissed her passionately with his hands on her cheeks, tongues and all. Suzu slowly unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing, while still kissing him, as Eiri moved her in the direction of the bedroom.
Suzu woke up the following morning. She held her head. "Oh it hurts…" she whispered. She looked over to where Eiri was sleeping and yelled at the top of her voice "DAMMNIT!!"
Suzu stormed out of the apartment building, Eiri close behind. "Suzu, where are you going?"
"Home! I can't believe you, you manipulative bastard!!" Suzu snapped at him.
"Oh c'mon, what is so bad about it?" Eiri asked.
"I'M JUST A TOY TO YOU THAT'S WHATS SO BAD ABOUT IT!!! I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU!!! YOU CARE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE DON'T YOU!! THE ONE YOU BROKE UP WITH TWO YEARS AGO!! FOR GOD SAKE NO WONDER YOU SEPERATED STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLES EMOTIONS!!!" Suzu yelled at the top of her voice before storming off home.
"YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!!! YOU NEVER DID!! IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU IF I LOVE YOU!! I'M JUST HERE WHEN YOU WANT ME!!! I'VE PUT UP WITH IT LONG ENOUGH YUKI!!! I'M LEAVING AND DON'T EXPECT ME TO COME BACK!!!" Shuichi yelled bags in hand. He slammed the door closed behind him leaving Eiri, this time for good. Eiri thought he'd come back but, days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and it seemed increasingly obvious that Shuichi meant it this time…
A month into Bad Luck's tour, and Suzu found herself at the end of Eiri's bed…again. She placed a cigarette between her lips and held a hand out at Eiri, which he placed his lighter in. She lit up and looked at the picture. A pink ball of fluff was smiling next to a classic moody Eiri. After the second time Suzu had fallen for the Uesugi charm, she had made him reveal his normal attitude. "The guy in that picture…" Suzu started. Eiri lit his own cigarette as she passed him his lighter. "He was important right?" She asked. Eiri didn't say anything but instead exhaled. Suzu was about to change the subject when Eiri said, "He thought he was just another toy to me…"
"And was he?" Suzu asked.
"…No…he wasn't…" Eiri finished. Suzu smirked. It'd taken a whole month of being Eiri's "toy" to get to this point. She was bored of Eiri hounding her for a bit of cheep sex. She was going to find this guy Eiri was screwed up over, and get them back together.
