A/N: Minna! I'm so, so, unbelieveably sorry I didn't post this yesterday. I had a bit of a rough week and I was trying to relax yesterday and posting this chapter just slipped my mind until I got to work and realized what day it was and that I hadn't posted a chapter. Please, please forgive me! bows numerous times In exchange for your forgiveness, I'll do my best to make the next chapter a lot longer.

I'm With You

Eiri and Yuki returned to the apartment after finishing their dinner. Eiri was more suspicious than ever and Yuki was on the defensive. Shuichi had placed the picture of him and Eiri back on the nightstand where it belonged and was lying on the couch when the couple returned. He had already thought up the perfect plan to make both Eiri and Yuki aware of his presence, now he just had to put his plan into motion.

"Shuichi, I know you were lying about the sushi." Eiri stated as soon as the door closed behind them.

"What are you talking about, Eiri? I told you Sakuma-san told me it was good so I tried it." Yuki replied nervously.

Eiri pushed him back against the door, his hands on either side of the singer's head, "So you're saying that you'll eat something that makes you physically sick when Sakuma-san suggests it to you but you won't eat it when I spend two hours making it for you?"

"You probably put too much vinegar in the sushi you made." Yuki replied as he ducked out from between Eiri's arms and made his way towards the bedroom.

"Where the hell do you think you're going, brat?" Eiri queried.

"I'm going to bed, I'm tired. You got a problem with that?"

"Yeah, I do. Your bed is over there, good night." Eiri pointed to the couch and while Shuichi stared at him in shock, he made his way into the bedroom then closed and locked the door behind him.

Yuki was stunned. Eiri was making him sleep on the couch… it was impossible. The real Shuichi smirked and then followed Eiri into the bedroom, easily gliding through the locked door leaving Yuki standing alone in the hallway.

Realizing he wasn't going to be sleeping in a bed tonight, Yuki decided to explore the apartment before settling in on the couch. His hope was that in his explorations he'd discover something that would give him a window into the real Shuichi's personality. He also had to familiarize himself with the apartment; it was hard to care about a building's floor plan when you could simply float through the walls.

So far, he knew the location of the living room and bedroom and a quick walk revealed the kitchen and bathroom. This left two rooms to explore. He walked towards the nearest closed door and opened it. The room was clean and organized, a row of bookshelves covered the wall to his left, two large picture windows took up the wall right in front of him, and a couch was set against the wall to the right.

Sitting just in front of the bookshelves was a large desk with a laptop sitting open on top of it. Yuki recognized this room as Eiri's study. He silently approached the desk and began opening drawers. One drawer held cigarettes and a collection of four silver lighters, all with a photo sticker of Eiri and Shuichi on it, another held a dictionary and other reference books a writer may have need off. The last drawer held at least 20 music magazines and all the CDs Bad Luck had ever released. Yuki picked up one of the magazines and leafed through it, sure enough there was an entire biography page on Shuichi Shindou:

The article went on to describe Shuichi's family life, his relationship with romance novelist Yuki Eiri, and his relationship with his fellow band mates Nakano Hiroshi and Fujisaki Suguru. It was then followed by Hiroshi and Suguru's profiles. Yuki was amazed at what these magazines could find out, but he was thankful for the details. With Shuichi's profile and Hiroshi and Suguru's descriptions of the singer, Yuki would have no problem pretending to be him for the next week and longer. It also allowed him to think up the perfect plan for getting rid of Shuichi's lingering spirit. Happy with his accomplishments, Yuki grabbed a blanket and pillow from the closet (the room he hadn't explored yet) and settled down on the couch.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Eiri was already lying in bed, eyes closed, attempting to sleep. Unbeknownst to him, Shuichi was lying next to him watching him sleep. Upon entering the bedroom Eiri had immediately gotten changed and climbed into bed. He looked exhausted and Shuichi decided he wouldn't execute his plan until tomorrow; he'd give Eiri time to relax.

Eventually Shuichi drifted off to sleep himself. He never saw Eiri open his eyes and survey the room. The writer had felt eyes on him since the moment he'd locked the door but had resisted urge to look around for someone. He was starting to suspect that Kitazawa's spirit had followed him from his coma into the waking world. Maybe that's why Shuichi was acting strange, maybe Kitazawa was periodically taking over Shuichi's body. There had been times throughout dinner when Shuichi had seemed to be his normal self and then times when he'd seemed to be someone else entirely.

'Shuichi's just the type of moron that would let himself get possessed by a ghost. The best thing to do it just give Kitazawa time to show his presence then I can take care of him and Shuichi and I can get back to our lives.' This was Eiri's last thought before he finally fell asleep.

To Be Continued…

There you go, chapter 10. Now we've got three plans in the works; Shuichi's, Yuki's and now Eiri's. What will happen to our favorite couple? I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope you review.
