Note: It's not that I was experiencing any writer's block; I was just being lazy so this chapter came out late. And for those who were asking, Hiro will be in the story and all the other characters from Gravitation will be making their appearance as well… but not just yet. Again, forgive and just ignore any grammar/spelling errors. And thanks for all the reviews!

CHAPTER VII: Boys?

'Having the meeting here at Tokyo Tower is quite nice… however Mr. Uesugi really shouldn't have had the whole place closed just for us.' Mr. Shindo thought.

"It was nice doing business with you Mr. Shindo. I hope that this is a start of a good relationship"

"Same here Mr. Uesugi."

"Oh, Mr. Shindo isn't your daughter coming back to Japan?"

"My daughter…? Hahaha… My daughter… Right… I think my wife just picked hi… err… her up at the airport." 'God, people still think Shu is a girl. He's going to throw a tantrum when he finds out that disappearing for two years hasn't made people forget that we have a daughter. It even drew more attention to him because people kept wondering where our beautiful daughter disappeared to.'

Mr. Uesugi looked at Mr. Shindo oddly.

"Why don't we just take the elevator now Mr. Uesugi?" Mr. Shindo said changing the topic.

"Of course Mr. Shindo. You probably want to spend so time with your daughter now that she's back."

"Got to hand it to you aniki. Getting four speeding tickets in less than 15 minutes is a record."

"Shut up. We're here."

"Huh? That fast?" Tatsuha said looking out on the window on his side.

Indeed, they have arrived at the Tokyo Tower in record time and all thanks to Eiri's driving prowess.

+ding+

And the elevator doors opened to reveal two of the most powerful businessmen in Japan. They had just finished a meeting about doing a partnership that would lead to an even greater success to both their companies. Everything was going fine until…

"Daaaarliing!!!"

"Oh god..." Mr. Shindo mumbled to himself.

"It looks like your lovely wife has come to see you." Mr. Uesugi said laughing.

And Mr. Shindo was glomped.

"Darling! Look! I brought Shuichi. Doesn't she look exquisite?" Mrs. Shindo said rather enthusiastically while she was still clinging to her husband.

And without a doubt Shuichi was there and she was the very definition of the word exquisite. The simply white empire cut dress that's reaches just above her knee gave her an ethereal aura, like an angel that has just descended from heaven.

"Hi dad." Shuichi said.

"Hi so… ugh…" before Mr. Shindo could continue he was hit by an elbow on his stomach. He wanted to protest about it. But when he looked at his wife he was meet by a very eerie and malicious smile that just screams I'll murder you.

"Uhmm... I mean… Long time no see angel."

'Angel?! WTF!! Why is dad going along with mom!' Shuichi though while he looked pleadingly at his father, wishing for him to save him from the clutches of his weird mother. But it was no use.

"Oh, Mr. Uesugi meet Shuichi, our daughter." Shuichi heard his mom say rather sweetly at him as she gave him a heated stare.

'This is so sick. I'm going to regret doing this.' He though to himself as inhaled a big gulped of air to prepare him for what he was going to do.

"Hello Mr. Uesugi. My name is Shuichi. I have heard that you are my father's business partner. It is such a pleasure meeting you sir." Shuichi said all lady-like and merrily with a bow. He just wishes that this little display of lady-like-ness would please his demented mother.

"The pleasure is all mine, meeting such a beautiful young lady such as yourself."

'What a sweet and cute girl. No wonder she had Eiri hooked. I wouldn't mind having her as my future daughter in law.' A very much captivated Mr. Uesugi thought

'Eww… Beautiful young lady my ass. I'm very far from it mister. There is nothing lady-like in a cross dressing boy. ' But these thoughts didn't show on Shuichi's face 'cause he was still smiling like a sweet little angel on the outside.

"Mr. Uesugi why don't you dine with us? We're celebrating Shu-chan's return."

"I would rather decline your offer. I wouldn't want to intrude in you. And besides I have to have a talk with my… boys?"
