Can I be Earless Too?
J.J.: How is everyone doing?
Yuki: You make me feel like shit.
Shuichi: When will you get along with J.J.? She actually pays us to do this.
Yuki: I can live without her charity.
K: Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Hiro: You mean born on the wrong side of the bed.
Yuki: You say something?
J.J.: Anyway, I have someone I want to introduce to the story conversations.
Yuki: Why do we need a new person? I think its bad enough to be around you. I can tolerate Littlekely but not you.
Littlekely: That should tell you something J.J.
J.J.: Please be nice. She actually helped me on most of the story lines. I couldn't think about the ending of 'Angel's Of Mine' without her. Now please?
K: It's a girl?
J.J.: Yes.
Shuichi: What's her name?
J.J.: Well, she wants to call herself Jessie. She doesn't want to use her real name.
Yuki: You don't use your own real name. Hypocrite.
Shuichi: Why can't you guys get along?
Yuki: I don't like annoying people.
J.J.: Hypocrite.
Yuki: …
Hiro: She shut him up.
J.J.: Okay! Now our guest star will come in…Jessie!
Jessie: What's up ya'll?
Shuichi: …
Yuki: -sweat drops-
K: Hi. How old are you?
Jessie: Younger than you.
Hiro: -laughs-
J.J.: Hey Jessie. Long time no see.
Jessie: What's up?
J.J.: Nothing much. Oh yeah, when people read the previous chapters, they didn't understand the spell scenes.
Jessie: I didn't even read it so I have no comment for this.
Littlekely: It's because they never saw Loveless or read the manga.
J.J.: Okay, what I understand from the situation, when they say, "I declare a battle of word spells.", they mean that what they say, will become their weapons. In order to have a decent battle, the opponent must say "I accept." Understand?
Jessie: …
J.J.: What?
Yuki: You speak in circles.
J.J.: Shut up.
Littlekely: You want to start the story now?
J.J.: Yeah!
Hiro: J.J. nor Littlekely nor …what's your name again?
Jessie: Jessie. As in Jessie Jackson?
Hiro: …nor Jessie do not Gravitation.
Shuichi: Or Loveless!
K: Great. Hey Jessie!
Jessie: Yeah?
K: Bring sweets next time.
Jessie: It'll be peach flavored.
Shuichi and J.J.: IT MUST BE STRAWBERRY!
Jessie: PEACH!
Shuichi and J.J.: STRAWBERRIES!
Jessie: PEACH!
Littlekely: Here we go.
Yuki: These people can't be together anymore.
"Please…" Shuichi begged. Yuki sighed.
"Fine." Yuki said. I'll kill you later then. Shuichi's head fell back as he rendered unconscious. "Shuichi? Shuichi!" Yuki yelled as he began to shake him.
"Stop!" Misao yelled. Yuki glared at her. "His wounds need to heal. Since he won the battle, the minor cuts already began to heal. However, the one I gave him will take a while to heal. It went all the way through his hand." Misao said. Yuki sighed. This is like a bad headache. Yuki stared at Shuichi's unconscious face. A real bad headache.
******
Yuki entered his apartment and put Shuichi on the couch.
"Can we take a shower?" Misao asked. Yuki sighed.
"Whatever." Yuki said; not really paying attention. Misao took Suzuki's hand and they went into the shower together. Yuki was alone with an unconscious fighter. Yuki went to find his first-aid kit when Shuichi regained consciousness.
"Mmm…" Shuichi moaned. Yuki walked back over to Shuichi and sat down next to him.
"Finally up, huh?" Yuki asked.
"How long was I out?" Shuichi asked.
"Since after the fight." Yuki said. Shuichi sighed. Man, my hand is killing me. Yuki grabbed Shuichi's hand and Shuichi snatched his hand away.
"I'm sorry. Um…It hurts." Shuichi said. My heart almost left my chest just by one touch. What's happening to me?
Flash Back
"I accept." Shuichi said. Even though they were in the hallways, wind gushed past them and they entered the parallel world. However, it looked exactly like the hallway they were in. "Fighting systems on." Shuichi ordered. Shuichi stepped in front of Yuki and was ready to fight.
"What? You're going to protect me?" Yuki asked.
"Yes." Shuichi said.
"Why?" Yuki asked.
End of Flash Back
Why did I protect him? Is it because… Yuki heaved an angry sigh.
"Give me your hand." Yuki ordered. Asshole. Ordering me… Shuichi reluctantly offered his hand and Yuki continued to clean his wound. Shuichi mumbled under his breath vulgar words mixed with sharp gasps of pain. Finally, Yuki wrapped his hand; holding it. Shuichi's sweat dropped.
"You can let go now, Yuki." Shuichi said. Yuki said nothing. He bent down his head and he began to suck on Shuichi's little finger. Shuichi blushed and snatched his hand away. "W-What are you doing?! We don't like each other okay!" Shuichi yelled. I do…It's amazing that I do and I mean it.
"Why did you protect me back there?" Yuki asked. Shuichi's breath was caught. Damn.
"What are you talking about?" Shuichi asked rubbing his wounded hand. Don't order me. Please.
"Don't play dumb with me. Tell me the truth." Yuki ordered. Shuichi's mind clicked.
"I love you Yuki." Shuichi said. Yuki's eyes widened at Shuichi's statement. "I love you Yuki." Shuichi said again.
"That's a little straight forward don't you think?" Yuki asked.
"No." Shuichi mumbled. I can't keep it in. This isn't fair. Why am I the only one in love? Even if it's technically not… "It's the reason why I protected you. I said that I would protect you and you asked me why. It's because…I love you." Shuichi said. Yuki sighed. Would it be awkward…? Shuichi wrapped his arms slowly around Yuki's neck and kissed him gently. Yuki stared wide-eyed while Shuichi's tongue grazed Yuki's bottom lip. Yuki soon melted into the kiss and Shuichi smiled in his mind. This was an awkward situation. Does that mean we're…lovers? Yuki's hand trailed up Shuichi's shirt and Shuichi gasped. "What are you doing?" Shuichi asked. Yuki took hold of Shuichi's wrists and held them above his head with one hand.
"Shut up." Yuki said. Shuichi began to feel scared. Yuki kissed him again and caressed his smooth skin and playing with his nipples. Shuichi gasped when he heard the sound that came out of his mouth. "The moans you make when I touch you make me aroused." Yuki said. Shuichi's sweat dropped.
"Wait! We can't do this now!" Shuichi said.
"You just said you love me right?" Yuki asked.
"That doesn't mean that we should have sex of the bat!" Shuichi yelled. Yuki stopped. He released Shuichi's wrists and Shuichi looked at his hands.
"Then what do you want from me?" Yuki asked.
"I…" God this is embarrassing. "…want your love. Even though I may want your body…I want you to love me first." Shuichi said. I'm not sure he will.
"You really are speaking the truth huh?" Yuki asked.
"You ordered me to." Shuichi said. Yuki sighed. Just then Misao and Suzuki came out in Yuki's shirts. Yuki's vein popped.
"I'm really regretting inviting you guys here." Yuki said. Shuichi sighed.
******
"What's going on at NG? Why do they want me and not Yuki?" Shuichi asked.
"You ran away from school two weeks before Ryuichi's death. They want you back. Specifically Tohma-sensei." Misao said. Shuichi's fist tightened. He ignored the pain in his hand. Tohma-sensei…
Flash Back
"You already know how to heal and use basic fighting attacks. Now you must overcome pain. This means, I will inflict pain on you. The more you scream, the more it will hurt." Tohma-sensei said. Shuichi had tears rolling down his cheeks. Tohma removed a nail and a hammer. "Are you ready?"
End of Flash Back
"They're sending more fighter units after you." Suzuki said.
"Why would they go so far as to call everyone? I'm not that important." Shuichi said.
"We don't know. They only told us a little bit of information. I think there's something deeper in this situation." Misao said.
"Why does he want me?" Shuichi asked. If he really wanted me he could just…
"Maybe it's because you left before your training was complete." Suzuki said. Shuichi sighed.
"Can I take a shower?" Shuichi asked.
"You're not going home?" Yuki asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea. It's already one o' clock in the morning." Shuichi said. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door; collapsing. Tears and sobs rippled through Shuichi's body. Ryuichi…Ryuichi…I'm lost…
Flash Back
"Shuichi…" Ryuichi started.
"Yes?" Shuichi asked.
"I want you to call me brother okay? You have to act just like Shuichi." Ryuichi said.
"Yes brother." Shuichi said.
…
End of Flash Back
Shuichi went in the shower and turned it to extremely hot. He ignored the stings from his cuts and focused on the water beating on his head. When he looked down, he saw it. His name...and then he blushed. No wonder I couldn't see it before. It's still faint. Shuichi heard the door open and Shuichi's breath was caught. The shower curtain opened and Yuki was standing there. Shuichi blushed and brought his knees to his chest.
"Why are you taking so long?" Yuki asked.
"I didn't know I stayed in so long. I'll get out-" Yuki pushed Shuichi's wet body against the wall and himself; smashing his lips against his own. Shuichi moaned as Yuki's smell was intensified by the water. Yuki's hand caressed Shuichi's waist and Shuichi shivered. "Y-Yuki? We're in the shower and you're still in your clothes." Shuichi said.
"So? Does that mean you want to lose your ears now?" Yuki asked. Yuki began to suck on Shuichi's neck. Shuichi's member straightened to an erection at contact of Yuki's tongue to his wet skin. That's when Shuichi saw it.
"Yuki. Your name is different than mine." Shuichi said. Yuki froze. He stood and stared at Shuichi.
"How do you know that?" Yuki asked.
"It's on your neck." Shuichi said.
"What is it if not 'Bad Luck'?" Yuki asked.
"…'Lifeless'…" Shuichi mumbled.
******
It was an awkward setting in the living room; especially the cold air radiating off of Yuki. Shuichi sat on the couch with Misao and Suzuki on either side of him. Yuki sat in the chair in front of the couch glaring at Shuichi. Shuichi's sweat dropped as he felt Yuki bore holes in his body. Well, at least his glares are warm…very, very warm…
"Why is my name different than Shuichi's?" Yuki asked. Shuichi blushed.
"I don't know." Suzuki said.
"…Is there a problem with the system?" Shuichi asked.
"That could be it." Misao said. Yuki's sweat dropped.
"How so?" Yuki asked. "Shuichi wasn't made." There was silence. Not even Shuichi said anything. "What?"
"Um…Shuichi was created." Misao said. Yuki's sweat dropped. Shuichi lowered his head to avoid eye contact with Yuki.
"You never said anything about it." Yuki said.
"I didn't think it was relevant." Shuichi said. Yuki's vein popped.
"Who created you?" Yuki asked. Shuichi bit his lip.
"…Tohma-sensei." Shuichi said.
"Why did Ryuichi take you in as his brother?" Yuki asked. Shuichi couldn't say anything at the mention of Ryuichi.
"Ryuichi's younger brother, Shuichi, died in a fire. After that, Tohma-sensei created Bad Luck in the image of his deceased brother; Ryuichi's request." Misao said.
"After the death of the real Shuichi, his mother lost her mind. She kept believing that Shuichi was alive. However, when the present Shuichi went to live with Ryuichi, the mother knew that that wasn't her son." Suzuki said. That's why she abuses him.
"Do you remember anything from before you were created?" Yuki asked.
"Um…when I was created, they educated me with Shuichi's memories. However, I still don't necessarily look like the previous one. My eye color was different." Shuichi said. "Not only that, but Shuichi wasn't capable of being a fighter."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Yuki asked. Shuichi said nothing. Yuki walked out of the house and slammed the door behind him. Shuichi's eye brimmed with tears.
"This is actually new." Misao said.
"How?" Suzuki asked.
"Only the person who created you can change your name. What would Tohma-sensei gain in changing Shuichi's name?" Misao asked herself.
"'Bad Luck' isn't my name?" Shuichi asked.
"I don't think so. If your name was 'Bad Luck', you wouldn't have been able to connect with Yuki." She said. Shuichi's heart ached. He's angry at me. I know it.
"Do you still love Yuki?" Suzuki asked. Shuichi said nothing.
"I'm positive he does. He was ordered to." Misao said. Shuichi's head snapped up and stared at Misao.
"How do you know about that?" Shuichi asked.
"We were told by K-sensei." Suzuki said.
"Ryuichi ordered you to love your Sacrifice right?" Misao asked. Shuichi nodded. "That means only one thing." She said.
"What?" Shuichi asked.
"You were originally…Ryuichi's fighter." Misao said.
J.J.: Whoo! The plot thickens! We're at the emotional climax!
Jessie: I want you to write more!
Hiro: Is she alright?
J.J.: She likes my stories a lot.
Yuki: Don't know why. It's dumb. "Shuichi was created."
Shuichi: Yeah! I'm flesh and bone!
J.J.: You're flesh and bone in the story too. If you get technical, you were created. By Mr. and Mrs. Sex Cell.
Littlekely: What is this on your computer?
J.J.: -blushes- STOP! DON'T READ IT!
Littlekely: 'Info on HOT MEN'? Why do you have that kind of document J.J.?
J.J.: If you don't get off my computer, you're gonna turn up missin'.
Littlekely: -turns blue-
Shuichi: What does it say?
Jessie: Oh. Just some information that I looked up on the internet.
J.J.: Jessie! Don't.
Jessie: Okay! Okay! Jeez!
K: Review.
Jessie: I know your favorite bands Shuichi.
Shuichi: -sweat drops- D-Do you?
Yuki: -vein pops- Why are you here? This isn't a place for little girls.
Jessie: I'm not little! Don't get it twisted!
Yuki: I'm about to kill this child!
Shuichi: Calm down! She's just a fan girl!
Jessie: I may be a fan girl but I'm a fan girl that would rock your world.
Yuki: She's a dead man.
J.J.: Calm down every one!
Yuki: -sighs and grabs Shuichi by his wrist and then kisses him passionately in front of Jessie-
Jessie: -gasps out loud-
Littlekely and J.J.: -blushes with mouths agape-
Hiro: -vein pops-
K: -nods his head in approval-
Yuki: -releases Shuichi and sighs again-
Shuichi: -dazed and has hearts in his eyes-
Jessie: -snaps a picture- Okay. Do that again but only I want to see some tongue action.
Shuichi: -sweat drops- Where'd the camera come from?
Yuki: -vein pops-
Littlekely: Review and call security.
