Track 7: Demon In Angel's Clothing
"And to this hell, I say, goodbye." As Hiro leaned his head back to take in the pills, someone barged through the door.
"HIRO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
"Shu…Shuichi…What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with Yuki."
"I came back to get something. I saw the lights were off and I was coming to say goodnight to you and I see this. What the hell are you doing? Killing yourself isn't going to solve anything."
"Yes it will. I won't have to choose between you and K. I won't have to worry about who I hurt for choosing…"
"You're right. You'll have to worry about who you hurt for killing yourself! What in the hell drove you to do this! Is this why you wanted me with Yuki?"
"Yes. I didn't want you to see. I wanted you to come after I had done what I needed to do. I didn't want you to see me go."
Shuichi slapped Hiro, hard, across the face. "SHUT THE HELL UP NOW HIROSHI! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF THAT BULLSHIT YOU HAVE! ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU'D ACCOMPLISH BY KILLING YOURSELF! YOU WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT HURT EVERYONE WHO KNEW YOU! WERE YOU EVEN THINKING!"
"I didn't want to hurt anyone so that's why I was doing it." Hiro was on the brink of tears.
"THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!" Shuichi was crying tears full of anger. "That's not a reason. That would have done worse damage than just choosing between the two of us. Why would you even do that? Why couldn't you just talk about it?" Shuichi walked over and sat next to Hiro, hugging him.
"Because, I didn't think you'd understand."
"Don't say I won't until you ask me. Now come on and lay down. I'll take these pills and flush them so we don't have another scare."
Shuichi laid Hiro in the bed and took the pills and the beer. He kissed the redhead on the forehead and wished him a goodnight. He walked out of the room, and on his way, he grabbed the note. He went into the bathroom and poured out the pills and the beer, flushing them for good. Then he disappeared into thin air.
----------------At Yuki's place-----------------
"There, now will you shut up."
"YEA! I have sake! I have sake!" Shuichi sang, finally sitting down and drinking the cup of sake.
"Now when you finish that, I want you to go to sleep. It's already going on eleven thirty."
"Alright."
Shuichi drank the sake slowly and put the cup on the table. He ran to the bathroom, grabbing his bag on the way, and closed the door to change. When he opened his bag to pull out his nightclothes, he saw a folded piece of paper sitting on top of them. He pulled it out and opened it carefully to reveal several sheets of paper.
"What is this? I don't remember putting this in here." He said as he began to read.
"To my Shuichi,
I know that we were friends for a long time and that we don't really separate. I wrote this to tell you some things that I wanted to get off my chest. I wanted to rid them from my system before I'm gone.
Shuichi, we have been friends since the start of high school and we were never apart. We were there for each other through everything. I know that you would want to be here to help me through this, but I thought it best that you stay over Yuki's. I didn't want you to see me in this state.
As you clearly knew, I was dating K and I told him countless times that I loved him dearly. The only trouble is that I loved you deeply. I even admitted it to you, although it wasn't in the way I wanted to. And even after our argument, we still made up. That's where all my trouble begins.
At first, I was playing around when I was pushing myself on you. I didn't really want anything to happen, just in case K found out. And then, after a while, the heat of passion grew. The second time, I was caught up in you again, that's when K walked in. It upset me to the point of no return.
Well, today, when K pulled me aside to talk to him, something terrible happened. He officially broke it off with me. He told me that for as long as it takes for me to prove my worth, I am nothing but a member of the band he manages. He told me that I mean nothing more than that to him. That's what really sent me spiraling down.
So I guess what I am trying to say is that since I don't want to have to choose between you and K, I'm going to eliminate what's causing the problem. I'm getting rid of its source. The source being me.
Well Shuichi, my love, I'll see you wherever and whenever I'll see you, because by the time you read this I'll probably be gone. All I want you to do is live the rest of your life with Yuki as though I was never in the picture. Just be happy if not for yourself, then for me.
Love you forever and never forgetting you,
Hiroshi Nakano."
When Shuichi finished reading the note, he slid down the wall of the bathroom and started to cry. He couldn't believe what he just read. When he finally composed himself enough to gain control of his body, he stood up and charged out of the bathroom and out of the house before Yuki could even stop him.
He ran all the way to Hiro's house, in hopes that his best friend was still alive. When he got to the house, he didn't even bother to unlock the door. He barged in and ran to Hiro's room. When he saw that the lights were off, he began to panic. He ran over to the bed and looked for the redhead. When he saw him lying on the bed, silent, he began to cry more.
"Hiro! What did you do to yourself? Why? I care about you too much! Why would you do this to yourself?" he said picking up Hiro's head and caressing it.
"Shu…Shuichi…what are you doing here?"
"HIRO! YOU'RE ALIVE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"
"Of course I'm alive. You stopped me from taking those pills. You were here just a minute ago."
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were. You flushed the pills and took the note with you. You told me to go to sleep." Hiro said sitting up.
"I did?"
"Don't play stupid Shuichi. And on top of that," Hiro turned on the lamp by his bed and turned his cheek to Shuichi, "I have a red mark on my cheek to prove that you were here."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"You slapped me. You told me not to do it after you smacked the holy hell out of me."
"I did? But I wouldn't do that."
"Then who did if it wasn't you?"
"I don't know and I don't even care anymore. I'm just thankful that you're still alive and with me. With all of us really. I mean, everyone would be so devastated if you weren't alive."
"I guess you're right." Hiro rubbed Shuichi's head and smiled faintly. "Well, I still want you over Yuki's house. I want him to protect you for tonight because I'm in no state to look after you."
"But I don't want to leave you. I want to help you through this."
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. And it was all thanks to my guardian spirit."
"Who?"
"You Shuichi. It was all thanks to you."
Shuichi smiled and nodded. He stood up and walked out of the room. He looked back to Hiro and smiled one last time before leaving back to Yuki's for the night. As Shu made his way back to Yuki's, Yuki was on his way to Hiro's. They ended up bumping into each other a few blocks from the park.
"Shuichi, why did you run off like that?" Yuki asked holding the boy's shoulders.
"It was something important about Hiro. I had to get to him."
Yuki pulled out the two-page note and held it up. "Is this the important thing about Hiro?"
"Yes." Shuichi put his head down.
"Well…is he okay?" Yuki asked casually.
"Why do you care about him now?"
"Well, to be honest with you," he cupped the boy's cheek in his hand, "I care about anyone who takes good care of you."
Shuichi smiled and replied with a nod.
"That's good. So are you going back home or what?"
"No. Hiro wants me to stay with you. He says that he's not in a well enough state to take care of me right now. So he wants you to protect me."
Yuki nodded and he turned to walk back to his house. Shuichi jogged to catch up to him and then walked at a normal pace. When they reached the house, Shuichi walked right over to the couch and plopped down on it with a big thud. He closed his eyes and started to fall asleep. Yuki walked over and nudged him lightly, just enough to snap him back to reality.
"You know, you can sleep in my room if it makes you feel safer?" Yuki smiled faintly, which was something he rarely did.
"I think I'm alright."
"Okay. Well my offer still stands if you want it."
He kissed the boy on the forehead and retired to his room. Shuichi balled up and started to sleep. After only twenty minutes of deep sleep, Shuichi was beginning to dream about Hiro. About how Hiro would have killed himself if he didn't stop him. Or at least if his spirit didn't stop him. He saw himself barging into the room and taking the pills from Hiro. He remembered dumping them into the toilet and flushing them away, though he didn't really do it himself. Then he saw an alternate scenario. He saw what would have happened if he didn't show up. Shuichi saw the sight of Hiro lying on the bed, cold and dead.
He shot up and screamed, waking up Yuki. The blond ran from his room, into the living room where Shuichi was, to comfort him. He ran up and grabbed him, pulling him into a tight hug. He brushed his head gently and repeated one simple phrase.
"It's all okay. Everything's okay. I'm here."
After Shuichi calmed down, Yuki decided that it was best that he stay with him in his room. Shuichi refused, but no wasn't an option. After a while, Shuichi gave in and went to sleep in Yuki's room. Once they were in there, Shuichi curled into a ball on the one side of the bed as far from Yuki as possible. Yuki looked over to the pink ball and smiled. After twenty-five minutes or so, Shuichi uncurled and rolled over to Yuki. He lay on his back and put his arm around Yuki's head so that it passed in front of his body and he could grab a lock of his hair. The man smiled at this and held onto the pink haired boy next to him.
'I wasn't intending on us getting this close, but it seems that we have. I thought I was finished opening to anyone, but apparently I'm not. But I guess I can make exception for someone as cute as you.' Yuki thought as he looked at the boy. 'Goodnight, baka.'
He kissed him gently on his forehead and closed his eyes. As Yuki drifted off to sleep, he began to dream. It started off nicely, but quickly faded. It turned into his life when he was younger. When he was still in love, or what he thought to be love, with his sensei.
"Is this right?"
"Yes. It looks quite right. I think you understand it now."
"Okay. Is there anything else that I need to study today or am I finished?"
Kitazawa looked up to the little boy and smiled, "No, I think you can call it quits today. You've done quite a good job so you deserve a break." He looked up to the sky from under the large branches of the tree, "Besides, the sun's starting to set. So I think it's time to get you home."
"Alright."
Little Eiri started to head home when Yuki stopped him.
"Here, let me drive you home."
"Alright."
It wasn't too out of the ordinary for his sensei to offer him a ride every once in a while, but today, Eiri knew there was something different about this. He was skeptical, but didn't show it outright. He got in the car and looked out the window. They drove in silence for a while, only with some hints that the radio was actually on, occasionally. After little Yuki had realized that they passed his street did he say something.
"Um… My house is back there."
"I know. I just have somewhere that I have to go really fast. Don't worry, I'll get you home."
Eiri just turned back to the window. He stared at all the houses they passed, and then he started to notice the change. The houses went from beautiful buildings to slums. Kitazawa pulled up to one abandoned apartment and told Eiri to get out and come with him. He just followed. When they got in there and Kitazawa had closed the door behind them, Eiri really began to notice something was wrong. The smile he was getting from his sensei wasn't the normal, happy one that he always got. This one had more of a twisted feeling behind it.
"Sensei… what's going on?…When will I go home?"
"Don't worry about it. You'll get home before the night's out. You're with me. You're safe."
He walked over to where the boy was standing and started to push his way on him. Little Yuki turned his head and tried to force himself to believe that it wasn't happening, but it wasn't helping. He shut his eyes tight and bit his lip to try and restrain the tears. When he opened his eyes, he saw three big men standing in front of him now, and his sensei off to the side, still smiling that same twisted smile.
"Help me. Please, help me."
"Sorry, I have a word I have to keep."
"But…"
Eiri began to bawl. He couldn't believe that his sensei would just sit there and not do anything. That he was the one who actually set this up. As he looked at the one man, out the corner of his eye, he saw something shining. Before he even knew what it was, he picked it up from the man's pants and pointed it at the man. He fired one shot that he didn't even know where it went. The next shot was aimed for Kitazawa. The two men that remained standing ran, they didn't want to see what would happen to them.
When Eiri looked at the dead bodies that lie before him, he was devastated. He was upset at what he had done. He was even more hurt by the fact that the one person he killed was Kitazawa, his teacher, the one that he truly loved and cared for. He slid down the wall, gun in hand, and cried more. He sat and looked at the gun for a few moments before someone barged in and ran over to him. When he looked up, he saw Thoma crouching down in front of him.
"Oh Eiri, what happened?"
"He… he tried… he tried to rape me…"
Thoma stared at the boy and then at the motionless body of Kitazawa. When he looked back down at the boy, he saw the metal of the gun, gleaming in the moon's light.
"You shot them?"
Little Yuki nodded his head slowly.
"Don't worry. No one will find out you did it. And if they do, it was in self-defense." He put his jacket around the small boy and stood up. "Come on Eiri, let's get you home."
As Yuki was dreaming, he was moving around and crying. Shuichi felt him moving constantly and woke to see what was wrong. When he saw the tears streaming down his cheeks, he tried everything he could to calm him down. At first he tried to wake him up, but that wasn't working too well. Then he started to rub his head and whisper to him that everything's okay. When Yuki finally calmed down and came to, he opened his eyes and looked over to the pink haired pop star, who was sitting up at this point, and threw himself on the boy.
"Shuichi…"
"Yes?" he said holding onto the man.
"Don't… don't ever hurt me like he did…"
Shuichi was slightly confused, but still knew what he should say. "Don't even worry about it. I care for you way too much to let anything happen." Shuichi laughed from a sheer awkward feeling, "Hell, I'd put my life on the line for you if it meant that."
Shuichi felt Yuki smiling slightly and smiled himself. Once the older man had calmed down, he and the boy laid back down and tried to sleep. That night had proven to be a tough night for the both of them. Their reasons almost similar, if not exact. The only way either of them was able to overcome what they were feeling is the fact that they had each other to rely on. They both knew that they were there for the other, and nothing would change it.
Shuichi was the first to get up the next morning. The first thing he did, out of force of habit, was turn on his cell phone to see if anyone had called. As it was turning on, he looked over to the clock and saw that it was still early.
"Nine in the morning." He mumbled to himself.
After his phone was finally on, he looked down and saw he had two voicemails. He dialed the number and checked them. One was from Hiro telling Shuichi that he had to show up at the studio today around eleven so they could practice and then head out to go set up before four. The other was from Ryuichi wondering if everything was well. And that he had heard about Hiro through Tatsuha. How was beyond him only because Tatsuha didn't know… or did he? Shuichi just closed the phone and lay next to Yuki again. He thought the man was still asleep, but was surprised when he moved over and gave him a huge bear hug. He looked down at the blond and smiled, rubbing his head.
"Why are you up so early?"
"I don't know. But I glad I am. I have to be at the studio in two hours."
"Why?"
"To practice for our concert today. Oh and that reminds me!" Shuichi pushed Yuki off of him and ran to the closet where his book bag was. He reached in the front pouch and pulled out two tickets. "I got one for Tatsuha too. I didn't know if Ryuichi got one for him, because I heard that Ryu was supposed to play today. And I know how much Tatsuha loves him."
"I told you that I'm not going."
"BUT WHY NOT!"
"Don't start with that whining shit please. It's too early." Yuki said rubbing his temples.
"But… you have to cooooommmmmeeeeee!" Shuichi cried.
"No I dooooooonnnn'ttttt!" Yuki mimicked.
"I hate you."
"Then, A, get the hell out, and B, I don't give a shit."
Shuichi pouted and stomped his foot. He threw the tickets at Yuki and walked away. Yuki laughed to himself and waited a short while before going after him. He walked out to the living room and saw him balled up on the couch, butt in the air, so Yuki took the opportunity to invade his space to a whole new level. He walked over to where Shuichi was, silently so he wasn't discovered, and stood behind the boy. He positioned himself so that he was in just the right spot, then climbed on top of him, latching on so he couldn't be thrown off, not like he could be anyway. Shuichi let out a shriek that no one could ever match and tried to jump up, but Yuki's body weight was too much for him. After a while, Yuki grew tired and slid off the boy.
"You really shouldn't expose yourself that much. If I were Tatsuha I just might have took advantage of you right there." he said smiling crookedly.
"If that wasn't taking advantage of me, then what was it?"
"That was just messing around with you. Messing with your head. What Tatsuha would have done was mess around with your body. And not in ways that would allow him to keep his arm privileges."
Shuichi stared at the man, scared of what could possibly happen. He had images of Tatsuha groping him and then Yuki running over and ripping his arms off. Neither sight was pleasant, but what followed was very.
"I think I'm going to go take a shower now. A very cold shower." Shuichi said jumping up.
"What?"
Shuichi responded by slamming the door to the bathroom shut. Yuki just laughed at the whole situation. He didn't know what was going on, but, then again, he wasn't quite sure if he wanted to. He walked back into his room and looked at the tickets on the bed. He picked them up and stared. He wasn't too sure if he wanted to go to the show or not. This was Shuichi's big night though. He wanted to be there for him, but he didn't exactly want to go. He feared that showing up and supporting him would give him too much hope. He feared that it would cause Shuichi to end up trying to make more of the relationship. He didn't need anything else hurting him. He sat the tickets on top of his dresser, grabbed a cigarette and lit it, then walked over to the window and looked out.
'Ah hell, I'll go. I'll show the little fuzz ball some sort of appreciation. For everything he's done for me so far.'
Just as he completed his thought, Shuichi walked into his room and wrapped his arms around the taller man's waist, holding him in a tight embrace. Yuki just placed one hand on top of Shuichi's and smiled.
'It won't kill me to go. Just to make him happy.'
He didn't even bother to turn and look at Shuichi when he asked the question, "So what time was this thing at?"
"YOU'RE GOING!"
"I didn't say anything…"
"YEA! THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT'S AT FOUR PROMISE TO NOT BE LATE!"
"I didn't…"
"PROMISE!"
"I promise." He said smiling. "Now hurry up and go, it's ten thirty. And I don't need to hear in the news that your manager shot you for being late."
"Thanks again Yuki. I love you." Shuichi said running out the door.
Yuki froze in his spot. The words hit him like an ice storm. He just looked out the window; ashes of the cigarette falling to the floor like snowflakes.
'Why? Why did he have to say that? Those were the last three words I thought I'd ever hear. Those were the last words I wanted to hear. But… he said them… to me…and he meant them. Why? I don't love him and he knows it, yet he says he loves me and means it.'
Yuki put out his cigarette and sat on his bed. He was in shock and didn't know what he should feel or say or do. He didn't know if he should hate Shuichi, or go out there and kiss him. He didn't know if he should tell him that he never wanted to talk to him again, or if he wanted to say that he loves him with all his heart and never wants to let him go. He was torn and it was hurting him. Next thing he knew, his face was buried in his hands and he was crying, and Shuichi wasn't there to wipe the tears away.
-------At the studio-------
"Drama shitate no fake it moon. Kodoku o seou story tale. Sameta hitomi de make it blue…. Mabushii kiseki o irodoru smashing blue. Hajimaru make me true. Kieyuku tsuki wa silent. Kimi no koe mo iranai smashing blue. Suhada ni nokoru kiramekimaru de twilight."
After the music faded out, Shuichi opened his eyes and tuned back into the real world. He looked to everyone outside of the booth for a review.
"We're ready." Thoma simply put.
"I have to agree. It seems like all the practice you put in worked well." K said clapping slowly.
Ryuichi stood in the back, clapping rabidly for the band.
"I have to be honest, I'm going to be scared following an act like that. I think you just might have gotten better than me Shuichi."
"Well that's something." Shuichi said running his hands through his hair.
"Alright. Well let's pack up here and head to the concert. Our stuff's not going to take itself." Hiro said.
After everyone's things were packed, and everyone was in the bus outside, Ryuichi and k stayed back to make sure they had everything they needed. As they were leaving, Ryuichi grabbed K's arm and pulled him to the side.
"Hold on. I need to talk to you about something."
"Can't it wait until later?"
"No it can't. I have to tell you now."
"Fine. But you have five minutes."
"It's more than enough time." Ryuichi took a deep breath and began, "I was where Shuichi was staying the last night and I was going through his stuff."
"Why…"
"Don't ask questions. Now like I was saying, I was going through his stuff and I found a letter from Hiro in there."
"Okay, you have two minutes."
"It was a suicide note."
K just stared at Ryuichi as though he was lying. He had no words.
"I read what the note said. And it wasn't too happy. Well I wouldn't have imagined it to be though. But in the letter it said that he was going to end his life because he didn't want to chose between you and Shuichi, because you both mean so much to him."
"You've gotta be kidding with me. I mean, you even saw him for yourself, today he was happy and playing like he always has. Nothing seemed wrong with him."
"Nothing seemed wrong. That's the thing. He didn't want anyone to catch on, so he looks as though it's just a normal day. And besides that, Shuichi talked him out of it last night." Ryuichi put his head down and then pulled a folded up piece of paper from his pocket. "This is for you. He didn't want Shuichi to give it to you, and he didn't want to give it to you himself, so he told me to give it to you today."
"What the hell is this?"
"Open it and read."
K reluctantly opened the paper and read what was on it.
"Dear K,
If you're reading this, I am probably gone by now, if not physically, emotionally and mentally. You know, after what you told me the other day, I realized that I'm not ready to prove myself to you. So I'm not going to try.
Now don't think this means I'm being selfish or stubborn, it's just that I don't want to see anyone hurt again. Especially you. I know Ryuichi had to have told you the reason for why I did, or wanted to do, what I did. You both mean so much to me and I don't know who means more right now. I mean, this is how I see it.
Shuichi: I've known him for damn near six years. I've had his back through hell and he's had mine. I even have his back now with his family problems. I only want the best for him no matter what it is. It's like a parent and child, the parent only wants the best for their child no matter the cost. That's how I feel towards Shuichi.
You, K: I've known you for about three or so. I love you with all my heart and you do things no one else can to me, but we won't get into that. You help me through things when no one else can, and you always help me see the silver lining in every cloud. There's nothing you would do to hurt me even if you really wanted to.
Now that you see what I have to compare, you'll see that the decision's a hard one and I don't even know where to begin. If I start comparing by how many times the both of you helped me; it would be a tie. If I go by the amount of love you two have shown me, it would be a tie. It's hard. And I can't compare you two. So you see why I do what I do.
I love you, but then I love Shuichi more. And most times I love Shuichi but I love you more. So please don't take anything out on me for this. I'm only doing what my heart and mind see fit.
You're forever my beloved,
Hiroshi."
K looked at the note and started to cry. He didn't know what to say. Hiro was going to kill himself because of something he had said to him. He felt like he should be the one to kill himself. This was unbelievable. He looked to Ryuichi and folded the paper, placing it in his pocket. He turned on his heels and walked out the door, beckoning to Ryuichi to follow.
When he made it outside, he made sure that there were no traces that he had been crying. He got on the bus and gave everyone prep speech about how they should play their best and that this is going to make them known around the world. And that again, it was going to make or break their careers. After the speech was over, they were off.
When they had arrived at the area where the concert was taking place, it was already three o'clock. The band unloaded their stuff and set up. They practiced a little bit and before they went on, K and Thoma gave a speech.
"Alright. We've practiced long hours just for this moment, so you know it means a lot. We have to make this count. It's going to be on national television. Everyone all over the world will know our names by the end of this for either blowing their minds, or killing them with horrible music." Thoma stated.
"So what he's trying to say is just don't blow it."
"Alright, so everyone put their hands in the middle. Bad Luck on three."
They counted to three and broke. The opening act was going to be Nittle Grasper. It would have been the first time in a while that they had played on stage since Ryuichi came back from America. All of Bad Luck stood in the back and danced to their music. Shuichi mouthed the words to every song, but added his own flare. In other words, he made everything come off more sexual than it was meant to be. Nittle Grasper finished off with Tearless and then Thoma introduced Bad Luck to the stage. The crowd roared when their name was said. Shuichi, being his normal energetic self, ran on to the stage and almost fell off. Hiro and Fujisaki walked on calmly.
"Alright! Are you guys ready to rock!" Shuichi screamed when the mic was handed to him. The crowd roared. "Then let's go!"
The band played a line up of about seven or eight songs ranging from The Rage Beat to Shakunetsu BLADE. When they were finished, Shuichi actually calmed down to introduce the new song.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen. The band and I have been working hard for a month or so on this new song just for you guys today." As he introduced the song, he was scanning the crowd for Yuki. "It's called, Smashing Blue."
The crowd roared, but Shuichi wasn't feeling the fire anymore. After he was about halfway through the song, he spotted Yuki in the crowd. He had sunglasses on and a black trench jacket. Yuki lowered the shades a little bit and winked at the pink pop star on stage. Shuichi smiled and the flame was lit again. He finished the song on a strong note, the way it was meant to be. The crowed cheered and Yuki even had to smile. After the band took their bows, Shuichi ran to the back and jumped for joy with Ryuichi.
"I can't believe it! They liked it! They really did!" Shuichi cheered.
"I never had a doubt that they would."
"Neither did I." Yuki said walking in and pulling off the shades.
"YUKI!" Shuichi ran over to him and jumped in the man's arms. "I didn't think you were coming then I saw you in the audience and everything was all better."
"Honestly, brat, do you think I'd miss the performance of our song?" Yuki smiled out the corner of him mouth.
Shuichi looked at him and then jumped on him again, wrapping his legs around the man's torso. "OUR SONG! OUR SONG! YOU CALLED IT OUR SONG!" he looked at everyone in the back, "YOU ALL HEARD THAT RIGHT! HE CALLED IT OUR SONG!"
Everyone smiled for Shuichi. They couldn't be happier for him. He had finally found someone that could make him happy. The only thing they had to put a stop to was when they started making out.
"Okay, I know you two love each other, but please, in the confines of your house." K said pulling Shuichi's mouth away from the blonde's.
"Hell, don't look at me. It was all his idea." Yuki said pulling the kid off him.
After the concert was finally over, everyone went back to the bus so they can go to the studio to celebrate. As Yuki was walking to the bus, Thoma stopped and pulled him back.
"So Eiri, is it working out as planned?"
"You tell me for yourself."
"It looks like you've created a bond. Not quite what we want now is it?"
"It's called mind games. You wouldn't know about this because you have to be smart to play them Mr. Seguchi."
"I see you're still the little smart mouth you always were." Thoma said smiling crookedly.
"Having something happen to you doesn't really change you that much. But you wouldn't know that either, now would you?" Yuki crossed his arms and waited for an explanation. "I know you were behind it all."
"How long?"
"Since it happened and you were just so conveniently in that part of town."
"You're a smart boy Eiri. I never doubted that you wouldn't figure it out."
"How the hell could you honestly do that?"
"Some call it revenge, some call it payback." Thoma turned and shrugged. "And some, like I, call it fun and games."
"So you're going to have fun at my expense?"
"Not only me Eiri. Less we not forget the main component to the whole thing." Suddenly a man with brown hair stepped from behind a wall and stood behind Thoma. "I believe you're already well acquainted."
"Hello Eiri, it's been a while."
Yuki looked at the man with the brown hair. He was frozen. It was just like what happened eleven years ago, only worse.
"I thought you were dead."
"People who strike deals with devils don't die." Kitazawa laughed.
