Chapter 2

(A/N heyyyy guys hows it going!? Lol I just want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed and to everyone who already added this story into their favourites even though I just put up the first chapter. Also if Yuki seems a bit OOC its because since it's a sequel I feel that in the last story he really broke through his wall a bit when he was worried for Shuichi so he is still trying to care for him the best he can.

Without further a do,

Chapter 2

…………………………………………………………………………………

Dark! Dark! Dark! Dark! Dark! ... Why is it so dark? No not again… let me out, let me out!

Hello my name is…… we're going to have a lot of fun today.

My friends already had their turns and so now its mine.

Don't cry, don't cry.

Ahhhh pain, pain, why is he laughing, it hurts! Why is he laughing at me?

No! Go away, Go Away!

………………………………………………………………………….

His eyes flung open and they clashed with golden brown eyes that were looking down at him.

"Shuichi, Shuichi its alright, its alright," then away, "He's ok now…ya I'll take him right home, he just needs to rest. Yes thank you."

"It's ok Shu…can you sit up?"

Shuichi weakly nodded his head as Yuki wrapped his arm around his shoulder and helped prop him up. From the looks of it he was sitting on an old leather couch in someone's office. Who ever had been there before was now gone, the only person left was Yuki.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes," it came out too quiet, "yes I'm fine…what happened?"

"You passed out after we ran into…" Yuki's hands clenched into fists as he tried to control his rage.

"Is he one of the people who… hurt me?"

"No… but he was the one who organized it…it was his idea."

"Oh."

"Come on Shuichi lets go home."

"Ok…" Shuichi tried standing up but was immediately hit by a dizzy spell, he started to fall but Yuki's caught him before he could hit the ground. Shuichi grasped Yuki's arm tightly around him, closing his eyes. He felt so safe. He didn't want to leave he just wanted to stay like this. While everything continued around them, to just stay like this.

"Are you ok Shuichi," a voice whispered into his ear.

"Yes…I'm fine, really. Just a bit dizzy is all." He sighed as Yuki released him from his hold.

"Let's go then."

They walked in silence from the room to the parking garage, Yuki not wanting to talk about their encounter. He kept his arm around Shuichi to stop himself from going back into the building and tracking Taki down.

They made it to the car and Yuki was just getting in when he saw that Shuichi hadn't opened his door.

"Shuichi what's wrong?"

"It's…nothing," He opened the passenger side door and got in.

"Shuichi you're as pale as a ghost. What is it tell me?"

"It really is nothing Yuki…I just had the weirdest feeling that someone was watching me."

Shuichi looked up to meet Yuki's gaze and Yuki was confused by Shuichi's wide eyed fear. Why was he so scared?

Yuki started the engine and pulled out of the parking garage. Shuichi just stared out the window, trying to ignore the horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach.

……………………………………………………………………………………..

As Yuki's car pulled out of the garage another car started its engine. The white equipment van slowly moved out of its parking spot and out onto the street. It stayed at a discrete distance from the car, making sure that it was not seen. As the car pulled into the parking lot of an apartment building the van kept driving.

He drove around the park and parked in the parking lot on the other side. From here he could see the apartment. He climbed into the back and opened the door a little. Not enough for anyone to see him, but enough for him to look out with his telescope.

……………………………………………………………………………………..

The minute Shuichi stepped inside the door he went into the kitchen and grabbed a box of pocky.

Yuki was glad that at least this little quirk of Shuichi's managed to make it through everything.

Yuki plopped down on the couch, resting his feet on the coffee table. He just closed his eyes and listened to the little sounds Shuichi made as he scurried around the kitchen. The kettle being filled with water, some of which ended up on the floor. Shuichi putting the kettle on the stove and wiping the water off the floor.

Then it got very, very quiet.

Yuki opened his eyes and saw Shuichi looking out the window. His hand gently moved the curtain away and he just stood there. He seemed deep in thought so Yuki decided not to say anything.

Shuichi gazed out at the park where Yuki had found him, but he wasn't really looking at the park itself. A tingling sensation went down his neck and back and his stomach started turning into knots. He didn't know why he suddenly felt so anxious, so nervous. He couldn't shake the feeling that someone was looking at him. But as far as he could see of the people in the park no one was. He noticed a white van that seemed to be familiar but he shook that off. He was just being paranoid. After everything that had happened it wasn't so weird that he was paranoid, was it?

He let the curtain fall back into place before turning and joining Yuki on the couch.

……………………………………………………………………………………….

He trained his telescope on the apartment building. He didn't expect to see anything; he didn't even know which window to look at or if he was even on the right side of the building. But then he saw a rustling of curtains from the corner of his scope and he trained on that.

And there he was.

His pale frame stood behind thin glass that a bullet could easily pierce. He seemed thinner then before, and tired. He looked very tired.

His slight hand was holding the curtain away from the window as he gazed out into the park. For a split second it was like their eyes met. He could see the boy shiver before he placed the curtain back.

"So close, and yet so far," he sighed as he closed the door to his van.

Sitting there in the dark he smiled to himself as he held his telescope close to him.

"But not for long."

…………………………………………………………………………………….

The hiss of the kettle had Shuichi scuttling to the kitchen, he poured tea for both of them and then he curled up under Yuki's arm.

The first couple days had been a bit awkward. Shuichi felt they had a connection, there was something there, but still it had been a bit weird at first to be held by the man. But at the same time it felt almost…perfect…he couldn't explain it. Some part of him was saying you barely know him what are you doing, while another part was screaming back at the top of its lungs, "I do know him!" and then quieter, "I just don't remember him."

It wasn't as strange now, it was almost a reflex. When he sat down he would lean his head against the man's shoulder and Yuki would wrap his arm around Shuichi. They sat like that now, drinking their tea.

If Yuki pretended he could, at moments like this, believe that everything was ok. That they were as they used to be. But then Shuichi would say something, or ask a question and that illusion was shattered. But he knew that soon Shuichi would remember. He knew it.

Yuki switched on the TV and a news program came up.

A pretty young Japanese woman wearing a black knee length skirt and white blouse was standing in front of a court house and speaking into her microphone.

"I am here to give you the latest news on the Shuichi Shindou case. The trial date has been set for a week from today. On trial are Taki Aizawa and Ken Haong, both being tried with kidnapping, assault, rape and attempted murder. If they are convicted they will both be serving life in prison. Though the police are trying to make a plea agreement if they help in catching the two men who are still on the run from authorities. The police are looking for Dakota Sango and a second man who the police have yet to identify. Police are asking for help in catching these two criminals. If you have any….."

Yuki switched off the TV, silencing the reporter.

"I have to make a phone call Shuichi can you hold on a minute."

Yuki rose slowly and walked to his study and closed the door.

Shuichi could hear the sound of the phone being dialled and muffled voices on the other end.

He lay down where Yuki had been sitting, his warmth and smell still lingered. Shuichi felt his eyes closing as they lulled him into a dreamless sleep.

………………………………………………………………………………..

The man took out a screwdriver and started rewiring the device in his hand. If he could get it just right then he would be able to…..

"Tohma I'm worried, I don't think he's ready to go on the stand. And besides if he can't remember what good will it do the prosecution."

Perfect. He smiled to himself as he continued to listen.

"I understand how you feel Eiri I do, but just think about this. Maybe seeing those men again is the only way for him to really get his memory back. This experience could really help him."

"Or push him over the edge."

"Eiri. You know as well as I that if the police decide to call him to the witness stand he has to go. But at the moment they don't believe he could offer anything because of his present condition. Though they might have to if their case begins to fail."

"How could their case fail? That son of a bitch hired three men to rape Shuichi. They are going to jail."

"But that's the thing Eiri. Taki hired three men. All they have to do is say that it was the other two that did it. If they can convince the jury that things were out of their control they might not get life. Well at least there's a good chance that Ken will get off with only a couple of years.

"That can't be it. There's no way the police would let them off that easily."

"It's not their choice Eiri. Yes they have evidence that Taki arranged it and the other man already admitted to it. But he also said that he and Taki had nothing to do with Shuichi almost being killed. And if the jury believes them…"

"Tohma this can't be happening. If those men don't spend the rest of their lives in jail…"

"Don't worry Eiri; I am working on a little project right now that might help us. Never the less I think you should prepare Shuichi for the possibility that he might have to go to the trial."

"You have seven days Tohma, your "project" better pull through."

Both phones hung up and the man pulled his modified phone away from his ear.

A week from today. That's all the time he had.

He lay back on the bed set up in his van and laughed out loud.

That would be more then enough.

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Yuki returned to the living room and saw Shuichi had fallen asleep. He picked him up gently and brought him over to the bedroom.

They had tried to keep their beds separate at first, as it was a bit strange for Shuichi. But the first days he had had such vicious nightmares that Yuki let him sleep with him.

Yuki placed Shuichi on the bed before crawling in himself. After covering them both with the blankets he pulled Shuichi closer to him.

"I will never let anyone hurt you ever again," he whispered into the pink hair.

But little did he know that was a promise he wouldn't be able to keep.

(A/N you guys probably have a pretty good idea who the man is, im not really trying to hard to hide his identity lol…It seems Shuichi has a stalker on his hands, will the man really get to him in less then seven days, what is Tohma's little "project" and can it help in anyway… Please review and I will try to have the next chapter up as soon as I can :P)
