Rating: This Chapter is rated K+
Pairings: There's hints of Yuki(Kitazawa) and Yuki (Eiri)
Important Notes: Since Kitazawa and Eiri share the same name (Yuki) so I'm going to call Eiri Yuki 'Eiri' and Yuki Kitazawa 'Kitazawa' inside my narration. Unfortunately Shuichi is still going to call Eiri Yuki 'Yuki' to stay in character and the same goes for Eiri Yuki calling Yuki Kitazawa 'Yuki'. Hopefully you won't get too confused.
Schizophrenia: Schizophrenia is defined as "a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and/or by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations." In other words Schizophrenia is seeing and hearing things that don't really exist.
Other Information About Schizophrenia: Some people believe that Schizophrenia is not a mental disease but is actually something physchic and what you see that no one else can see are actually ghosts or paranormal images. (I think that will come up in part of the story so you should be aware of that)
Chapter Four
Why Are You Interfering
Shuichi sat sniveling on the waiting room floor in the hospital. Who could blame him, knowing what he had been through? Eiri had now tried to kill himself twice within twenty-four hours. And why had this occurrence happened? Because Yuki Kitazawa had simply said, "Be with me". It was clear that Shuichi had lost in the continuing fight. Sure, Shuichi might be able to tie with just a memory but when the real thing came along it was no contest.
"Shuichi," Tohma said quietly, sitting down on the floor with the boy in order to put a comforting arm around him, "are you okay?"
Shuichi shook his head ten times faster than any normal person. "How could I be okay?" he sobbed, "I'm losing Yuki to a ghost…or a vision…or illusion…or whatever the hell he is."
Tohma gave Shuichi a side ways hug, feeling a little awkward about it. "You haven't lost the war," he argued, "just the battle. You aren't going to give up now, are you? After all that you had to go through?"
Shuichi shook his head 'no' just as fast as before. "You're right, Tohma," he said, forcing on a smile, "I'll remind Yuki just how much we should be together."
"That's the spirit!" Tohma congratulated, "Now, I have to go to the office for a couple hours, but don't hesitate to call if you need to."
"I'll be fine," Shuichi assured, keeping the forced smile on, "Kitazawa's got nothing on me!"
"Tohma," said a voice inside Tohma's office inside N-G Studios.
Tohma turned around in his chair, trying to see who was calling him. Suddenly the lights shut down.
"Hello?" Tohma called, trying to identify the person behind the voice.
"You're interfering, Tohma," the voice replied, "I hope you realize you aren't a help to anyone."
"Just who are you?" Tohma asked, standing up from his chair.
"You're just causing Eiri pain now," the voice continued, "He has nothing but hate for you, I hope you know that."
"And what business is that of yours?" Tohma asked the voice, moving his head in all directions trying to locate the source of the sound.
"You don't think it's my business?" the voice asked angrily, "Eiri's mine, not yours! I suggest you butt out of it before something dreadful happens to you."
"Yuki!" Tohma exclaimed.
"No, I'm being silly," Tohma said quietly to himself just moments afterward, "Yuki's been dead for years now."
Not even a full second later the body of Yuki Kitazawa stood in front of Tohma.
"I-I'm not seeing this," Tohma said, trying to convince himself of it.
"Oh, surely not," Kitazawa agreed, "I'm dead, and the dead don't come back to life."
"There must be a reasonable explanation for this," Tohma continued, acting as if he had not heard Kitazawa speak.
"There definitely is," Kitazawa agreed, "and it's called schizophrenia."
Tohma's eyes widened at this. "You-you mean," Tohma asked, stuttering for the first time in quite a while, "That what Eiri's been seeing was the real you? He doesn't really have schizophrenia?"
"My, oh my," Kitazawa cooed, "You certainly catch on fast, don't you?"
"What do you want?" Tohma asked, jumping right to the heart of the matter.
"I want you," Kitazawa said in a threatening voice, "to keep away from Eiri. And I feel it my duty to tell you that I'll kill you before you get in my way again. Eiri and I are going to be together and we're going to be together right now. I've been trying my hardest to get back to earth since I died. I'm not going back empty handed, this I assure you."
"You can't threaten me," Tohma responded, writing off the ghost's threats as empty.
"Oh? Ghosts can kill, Tohma," Kitazawa replied, then smirked "I know just how to show you too."
"What?" Tohma asked, growing worried, "What are you talking about?"
"I suggest you get home right away," Kitazawa suggested, "Your wife may be in need of your help." Without another word Kitazawa vanished, leaving a very distressed Tohma behind.
"We're here this day to honor the memory of Mika Uesugi," the minister drowned on.
Tohma sighed, wishing he knew how to fix this problem of Kitazawa once and for all.
"You can't just get rid of me like last time, Tohma," a voice whispered in his ear, answering his thoughts. "Just how do you plan to get rid of a dead man?"
"Kitazawa!" Tohma exclaimed, making everyone in the room turn to him, "How dare you! You're tarnishing the image of my wife by being here!"
"Oh? And just what have you been doing? You've been tarnishing her image through out your whole marriage," Kitazawa argued, smiling to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Tohma asked, nearing hysterics, "I love my wife with all my heart! Don't you dare say I've ever tarnished her!"
As Kitazawa laughed it bounced off the walls, increasing the sound, "Excuse me? You were married to the women who's brother you kept having wet dreams about! How is that not tarnishing her image?"
"I don't have wet dreams about Eiri!" Tohma screamed in his defense, turning a little red in the face for what might have been the first time in his entire life.
"Relax Tohma," Kitazawa commanded, "You're panic-stricken and the whole room sees you talking to no one."
Tohma's eyes turned wide, looking around the room. Indeed, everyone's eyes were on him. Every child looked at him curiously, every man glared at him for disrupting the ceremony, and every woman looked on him with pity.
Tohma turned a brighter shade of red, much to the surprise of everyone in the room that knew him. "Hee hee," he chuckled, trying to lighten the mood and scratching the back of his head in thought. Both actions were very unlike him. "Pardon me," he excused, "I just remembered an appoint I was scheduled to attend." Without another word Tohma scurried out of the room, leaving the faces of the confused behind him.
"Well, that wasn't how you would normally react, was it?" Kitazawa asked, following Tohma to his car.
"Shut up!" Tohma commanded.
"Now, now," Kitazawa scolded, "that's no way to speak to an embassader from hell, is it?"
"Hell?" Tohma asked, forgetting his anger, "You were in hell?"
"You expected differently? Well, I'm certainly flattered," Kitazawa replied, faking a blush, "I didn't know you thought so highly of me."
"I won't let you send Eiri to hell!" Tohma bellowed, suddenly realizing how much trouble Eiri was in.
"Oh please," Kitazawa snorted, "The kid's going to hell with or without my help, all I'm doing is speeding up the cycle."
"Eiri's not going to hell if I have anything to say about it!" Tohma argued, screaming at the top of his lungs trying to protect the man he loved.
"But that's just the problem, isn't it?" Kitazawa asked, smirking, "You don't have a say in it."
"Why are you doing this to us?" Tohma asked, finally dropping onto the cold ground in sobs. "What made you kill Mika? What did you have to gain from that? And now you want to take away Eiri, too?"
"Mika was just an example of the hardship that would come to you if you kept trying to keep me from Eiri," Kitazawa corrected, "You keep out of this and things won't happen to make your life a living hell. I came here for Eiri, and Eiri only. I'm only picking on you because you won't get out of my way."
Tohma sniveled, looking up at the ghost of Kitazawa and appearing to be more like Shuichi than himself.
"I mean it," Kitazawa warned, "You keep out of my way or you'll be the next to die."
