Chapter Four: Exhausting Weekend

Shuichi had just recovered from his sicknessand it was already weekend. No work and no appointments.

"Ummm…Shuichi I think I'll be goin'. Just call me if you need somethin' or you want to talk. Pls. don't pressure your self too much, ok!...Ja!" Ichigo said before leaving. She waved her hand to the both of them and walked away.

When Ichigo lost from their sight, Yuki closed the door. He put his hands around Shu's body and hugged him tight.

"Yu…yuki…?" Shuichi spoke softly as he share his hug (also) to Yuki.

"Shuichi…" Yuki spoke as he tilt Shuichi's head and kiss him. (After breaking the kiss but still hugging) "It's been a long time I haven't…held you this tight. I've really missed it." After uttering those words he broke the hug and went towards his workroom. Shuichi just followed him with a smiling look.

"Ok…He's going to start working again. Hmmm…What can I do? I'll just be bored." Shuichi thought and confused.

Until after a few minutes, his cell phone rang. It was Ichigo.

"Shuichi! It's me Ichigo." The person on the other line said.

"Oh…Ichigo. What do you need?" He answered.

"Ummm…actually I don't need anything but I just want to invite you to go an amusement park. At Odaiba!" She said.

"Oh great! When?"

"Tomorrow…I'll just go there at your place….I almost forgot you can also invite Yuki….Bye." Then the line went dead.

"Wow! I can't wait. I'll tell Yuki about this immediately." Shuichi said as he ran to Yuki's workroom. He jumped on top of the table happily. (because of excitement) Yuki was astounded by that and caused him to get angry at Shuichi.

"Get out! You just ruined my mood!" He shouted angrily.

Shuichi was scared so he went out of the room and didn't tell about the amusement park anymore.

(Actually Yuki heard the thing about the amusement park. He heard it from the loud voice of Shuichi.)

"Damn it! I lost a lot of my time taking care of that brat. My deadline is already next week and still I can't think of what I will write on my last three chapters!" Yuki thought…and still irritated but not because of Shuichi but because of his empty ideas.

The next morning….

Shuichi was already prepared for the amusement park and just waiting for the arrival of Ichigo. Though Yuki is not really mad at him, he was still bothered. He went first in front of Yuki's workroom before going outside. He decided to knock but stop his self because of uncertainty so when he decided to just leave, a hand suddenly tapped his shoulder.

"Don't you want me to go with you?" He said.

Shuichi was surprised by it and turned to face him. "Ah…ah…I thought you're mad that's why I didn't bother telling it to you."

"Let's go." Yuki said before walking towards the door and opening it.

"Eh?...Where's Shuichi?" She asked glancing at the back of Yuki.

"Ichigo!" Shuichi shouted happily, walking towards her and putting his arms around hers. She blushed and was surprised. Shuichi on the other hand was happy because Yuki wasn't mad at him after all….but I think now he is. Yuki was jealous of Ichigo being treated by Shuichi like that.

When Ichigo noticed that Yuki was glaring, not at them but at their hands she gripped her arms tighter towards Shuichi's and gave him (Yuki) a smirk. Yuki controlled his self even more not to get mad at her for the sake of Shuichi.

Wow! Do you know that while Yuki was driving on the way to Odaiba Amusement Park, (Inside his car)…Ichigo was flirting with Shuichi.

Shuichi's innocence doesn't have the idea that he was already hurting Yuki that very moment. (If I was on Yuki's place, I would stop the car, drag Ichigo out of it and kill her. "That BRUTAL!" K'so! It's so aggravating.

/Sorry if my sentence construction is not that organized…because even this is my own story; I'm irritated by that girl's actions./

/Ok…Back to work………Read again:D/

"The atmosphere's killing me hard! How can Shuichi act so innocent in front of me? Does he even care about my feelings? Though sometimes I'm mean at him, does he have to repay me like this? Better think of a plan and make that girl stop!" Yuki thought as he drifted the car hardly and over speed it. He was like a racer persevered to win that time.

"Y;;;yu…yuki? Are you alright? Ah!" Shuichi asked bouncing at the back of the car with Ichigo holding her tautly.

Yuki again saw that and drove even faster. You can even hear the loud screeching of his tires, bustling on the middle of the road. When they arrived at the amusement park the same time as when Yuki's car stopped, all what you can glimpse is smoke throughout the place…I mean road or parking lot.

"So! Did you guys have fun?" Yuki asked in a mocking voice.

"Do you think we are? I feel very dizzy and my lungs are covered with smoke." Shuichi said while coughing and barely having hard time breathing. Until after a few moments he fell. Luckily Yuki caught him at the exact time. Ichigo saw the effect of what Yuki did so she went near him, letting him put Shuichi on a bench first before releasing her rage.

"Hey YOU…Yuki Eiri! Is this your way of expressing your love for him? How could you take doing things like this towards him? You stone-hearted person!" She cried out and lifted her right hand, swung it towards Yuki's face. Yuki sensed it was coming so he had the chance dodging it. He held Ichigo's hand and gripped it unbreakably.

"Is that what you think? You're such a moron…."Yuki said in a serious voice.

"Huh?...What did you call me?" Ichigo shouted back full of anger. Trying to make Yuki reclaim what he just said. She lifted her other hand and did the same from what he did earlier. But unfortunately, he was able to dodge it again and this time he harshly gripped on it…telling that she doesn't have the right to say that to him either.

"Do you think I'm goin' to accept your challenge if I want him to lose from my sight? And what I did lately was not meant for him but for you though he was the one more affected. Of course you won't understand anything because you don't even know the person who is in Shuichi's heart."

Ichigo was fully struck by his words. Yuki loosened the grip when he felt that Ichigo lost energy from what she heard. Later…she fell from her knees. It was right when…Yuki asked her about the person in Shu's heart and she knew it was still Yuki. She was already crying that time and was starting to lose hope. But why would she dare lose hope? If her love is true then she should fight for it. (She also remembered someone she had given her promise)

After realizing some circumstances and stopped from crying, she closed her hands (both left and right which were leaning on the floor); scratching the floor with her nails, stood up. Full of courage, she faced Yuki.

"I apologize. I should be more critical about this thing…/she paused for about almost one minute/ but still I won't give up until I've proven…that my challenge will work." She stated using a persevered voice.

Did you get what she said from Yuki? There's a meaning under those words. Maybe you'll just discover it at the end. Not in this chapter but in the end of the story. I think…Ichigo is a big help for Yuki….Guess why?

Yuki doesn't know how to interpret Ichigo's words through his knowledge. Though her words were simple still…it's hard to understand by people like Yuki. You know what I am trying to say? Yuki is a very critical person despite his "being" a novelist. Through words or deep ones, he can already make it meaningful. But not all words should be taken gravely…you just have to express it.

Hmmm………I think you're a little bit confused of what I'm saying…right?...Don't be bothered because I'm just making it tricky…and making it as if a quotation. But it's not a non sense thing….I don't know… Am I bothering you're reading? Sorry! I'll shut my mouth from now on.

After a few minutes….

The two were already in peace from their argument and they were just waiting for Shuichi to wake up. I think they've wasted a little time but gladly Shuichi doesn't know anything about what happened.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Shuichi slowly opened his eyes and observed things around him. He heard shouts from far away, many people having conversations and other miscellaneous activities. It was noisy indeed and the sun was still up. It took several moments before he knew that he was in an amusement park together with Ichigo and Yuki. Wow! How long did it registered his mind…ooops! Sorry again…I'll try shutting up.

"How long have I slept?" He asked looking at their faces which is in a cute smile way. (Yuki and Ichigo)

"Don't care about it. C'mon! Let's go!" Ichigo answered pulling his hand towards the rides. He glanced at Yuki who was smiling at him and following them. He was somewhat confused by those actions the two were showing but it was alright as long as he's happy and satisfied.

As Yuki was looking at Ichigo's actions he doesn't feel jealous anymore maybe because her words struck him too, having some sense of truth.

"Shuichi…what do you want to ride?...You can pick whatever you like just be sure you won't get dizzy again…hmmm?." Ichigo spoke as she smiles every time she speaks with him and now…also to Yuki.

"Yuki what do you think?" He asked.

"I don't know…just choose and we'll handle the risk when you fainted." He said as if trying to tell a joke…nearly like it. He answered and looked at Ichigo the same as she looked at him. Not in a way…you know before.

Now…….the true battle begins!

Somewhat like the way they did before…..like this………………………

"Ummmm…I want to ride roller coaster!" He said. (Shuichi was the one speaking)

The two looked at each other saying, "Like what we just guessed…" and then sighed while their heads are both bowed.

"What's the problem? Did I say something wrong?" He asked.

"No."

"No" They both answered.

They both put their arms around Shu's and escorted him towards the ticket booth. All the people stared at their position and the three of them just ignored it.

"I'll pay for those!" Shuichi spoke while reaching the money to the counter (?) and getting the tickets.

"The two didn't say anything but they were a little bit surprised. They were even supposed to race in paying the ticket.

"Ok! Let's go!" Shuichi said blissfully happy.

They rode on it. They let Shuichi alone in one seat and sit together next to him. When the engine of the ride started, Yuki and Ichigo watched over Shuichi closely to rescue him whenever bad thing happens.

While the roller coaster was moving…

Shuichi's seatbelt was loosened that time…so when the roller coaster drifted, Shuichi's body tilted and nearly slipped. Yuki and Ichigo noticed it so they stood up abruptly (holding tight at their seat's bars) and grabbed him. Shuichi was surprised because the real thing is…he intentionally loosened the belt to enjoy the ride more. What he did almost killed the two by nervousness so he promised them not to repeat it again.

Shuichi requested them to repeat the ride once more. They didn't disagree with it and stayed on their seats. (Of course Shuichi paid for it again)

(Sorry if I'm taking a hard time describing and detailing what really is happening)

Shuichi was concentrating deeply on something while on the ride and the two were now relaxed. While thinking of it for a long time, something terrifying happened.

The wheels of the roller coaster lost its place from the rails. The ride lost its control and the people at the back were already panicking. That's not all! The seats started falling down one by one from the back. Many people had already fallen. When he began panicking, he remembered two familiar persons who were sitting at his back. It was Yuki and Ichigo. When he was going to face them, his seat started falling apart from each other.

He fell…but suddenly two hands reached him and pulled him up. They successfully did pull him up but their seat fell…together…they were dropped. Shuichi saw what just happened and it froze his body directly up to his heart. No screams came out his mouth. No tears flowed from his eyes for that shock dreadfully struck his soul and stopped every single nerve inside him.

He had been rescued but all the people who fell…sadly, died…including the two. He never stopped from walking with absence of mind and didn't care about the nurses or people or rescuers…I think pulling him or now dragging him towards the ambulance. He did get bruises and wounds.

Laughs……………. (It was me laughing ok…….it's so funny…weird isn't it?)

"Hey…Yuki what's with him? It's like he saw something terrible." Ichigo whispered while she and Yuki were following him and trying to pull him.

"I don't know either. Maybe…he did saw a terrible thing…YOU!" Yuki said humorously laughing there like a weirdo!

"Oh….so that was soooooo funny hugh!" She said in an irritated voice but trying her best not to blow up.

"Uhhh…..never mind about that. Let's just wake up Shuichi from his sleep walk." He replied holding his throat from laughing again.

"Shuichi!"

"Shuichi!" They shouted running after him who is still absent-minded.

No answer was offered to them even a single glance so they decided to drag him forcedly and went to the nearest bench. They pushed him towards it and held his shoulder. Yuki was the first one who asked him.

"Shuichi…what happened//no answer/ Tell me what's your problem. /hmm…no answer/ He growled…Hey you brat if you won't say anything I'll leave you! He shouted and collared him. Ichigo slapped his hand away from Shu and pushed him saying, "Move over…I'll take this one."

"Shuichi…it's me Ichigo. So? (Yuki said listening at his side and doing some gestures mocking her.) /no reaction/ Hey…wake up! Are you sleeping or something…/no answer/…Shuichi, WAKE UP!...and also collared him while quivering it.

"Wow as if you're stopping me lately about collaring him…now you're doing it…harsher?" He said stopping her.

"Uh….sorry." She spoke.

They both continued waking him up…………………………………….

"Ahhh!" Shuichi shouted hardly able to breathe. He looked at Ichigo and Yuki and touched them with trembling hands.

They both hugged him and told him, "It's alright not…I'M HERE FOR YOU." Their eyes hit each other after uttering the same words from their mouth. (referring to Ichigo and Yuki)

When they break their hug from Shuichi, all was slow in motion. Until after a few seconds…confusion crossed out of Shuichi's face and began moving away from them as if he was scared.

"Shuichi? What's the problem?" Ichigo asked and looked at Yuki with confusion.

Shuichi was now trembling hard…he can't speak and talk to ghosts…it was his greatest fear other than losing Yuki or Ichigo from his sight.

"I-I saw y—you!...Y---you fell from the roller coaster…you're ghosts! Ah!" Shuichi mumbled shouting as he tried to run away with shaking feet.

Yuki and Ichigo don't know what the commotion inside Shuichi's mind so they just ran after him and grabbed him.

"Hey!" They both said trying to calm Shu. "I think he had a terrible nightmare… (Can also be called a "daymare"…lol…just kidding)" He whispered to Ichigo. "OH…I SEE."

"Shuichi…you just had a nightmare…see…we're still alive…we are NOW talking to you…isn't it an evidence that we're alive and here?" Yuki said.

It took several moments before Shuichi calmed down and began speaking normally.

"Sorry…if this day sucked because of my craziness. Im really sorry…it's already 5:00 and we haven't even rode a single ride."

"It's ok…let's just take dinner…MY TREAT!" She said.

All of them searched for a nice restaurant. When they have chosen one, they entered and chose a seat.

"So…is this all what you want to eat ma'am and sirs?" The waiter said with a sweat because Ichigo almost ordered all the foods from their brochure. (sorry I don't know the term for it).

"Yeah that's all…we'll just order our desserts later." Ichigo said.

"Ok just wait for 20 to 25 minutes for all of these. I'll go now." The waiter said and bowed before heading towards the kitchen.

"Uhhh…I'll just go to the bathroom." Shuichi said smiling and left. He didn't really go to the bathroom instead he went outside secretly and looked for the nearest bakeshop. Glad he found one in no time. He entered the bakeshop and looked for some cakes.

"Oh great! I found the right one!" Shuichi thought and pointed the blueberry cheesecake to the salesman.

"Do you want to order this sir?" The salesman asked for assurance.

"Yeah…and can you please put an icing there saying, "Happy Birthday Ichigo!"

"Ok…just a minute sir."

"Wow…good thing I remembered that it's her birthday today."

"Her sir. Thank you for buying! Come again!"

Shuichi run immediately back to the restaurant.

"Shuichi is still not here. I wonder what happened." Ichigo spoke.

"I'll go check him. Stay here." Yuki said as he stood up and went to check out Shuichi on the comfort room. While walking he saw Shuichi entering at the entrance of the restaurant holding a box of cake. He didn't care much about it instead; he went back to their table.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

"Uhhh…nothing important…C'mon let's eat." Shuichi replied hiding the box of cake.

When they started, Yuki looked at the box curiously. He already knew that it was a cake…but "Why would Shuichi buy one?", he thought. He observed closer without letting the two notices it. Then after a moment, he saw the icing which was molded into words. "Happy Birthday Ichigo!" So this is what it is about. I see…so that's why he invited us." He thought and continued eating.

When Ichigo was going to call the waiter to order some desserts, Shuichi spoke. "Ichigo, Happy Birthday!" Shuichi said pulling out the box from his back and opening it.

"Hohow did you know?" She asked.

"Don't ask about that anymore. I bought this as a gift. Glad you mentioned about your favorite cake. I didn't took a hard time choosing. Happy Birthday again!"

"Domo…Arigato." She said happily.

Ichigo sliced the cake and gave one slice to each of them. "Huhh…Where's Yuki?" She asked.

"I don't know. I didn't even notice that he was gone." Shuichi replied.

After a few seconds…Yuki came back.

Yuki went back to his chair and began tasting the cake. "Yuki. Where have you been?" Shuichi asked while enjoying the cake. "Just did nothing." He replied.

After eating and talking about so many things, Shuichi fell asleep. Yuki carried him and brought him into the car. Ichigo was left there. She went to the cashier and asked for her bill.

"Ummm…you are already paid ma'am." The person in the cashier said.

"Bu…but I haven't pay for it yet." She said in confusion.

"But it says here that you're paid, ma'am."

Ichigo slowly walked away from the cashier…still confused. He went outside and looked at Yuki who was waiting and smoking.

At Ichigo's place…

"Thank you for bringing me here at my apartment and thanks…..for your gift. You know what I mean. Good night! And pls. tell Shuichi that I also loved his gift." She said before entering her apartment.

Hoooooooooo….that was tiring indeed.

I want to explain the thing highlighted above. It was Shuichi's nightmare…and the nurse or people I've mentioned earlier…who was puling him was Ichigo and Yuki. He just went under a deep nightmare that moment…that's why. Still hard to understand…well that's my weakness. Sometimes I can't put into correct sentences the things I want to describe. SORRY! Well the ending is near…PLS. REVIEW!
