Ch 10: Troubles

A.N: I am so sorry about taking so long to update but my school started up again(senior year baby!!!) and my laptop broke, killing everything I had on this story and any other ones I was working on….. *SNIFF)

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this story.

Ryuichi walked down the dark hallway observing his surrounding with a nostalgic look on his face. He ran his fingers over the cream colored walls and let out a sigh. The singer came to a large door and pushed his way into the room. Taking in his surroundings, the singer let out another sigh of longing.

The dusty study brought memories to Ryuichi filled with a dark haired man sitting behind the large desk in the middle of the room. His long brown hair, so much like the man reminiscing in the study, shielding a youthful face from his company as he went over stock information and travel plans.

He could remember sticking his head through the always ajar door and watching the larger version of himself imagining growing up to be just like him. Part of him disliked it when he was caught observing, but that ended quickly when the man would pull himself out of the giant leather chair and amble over to the young Ryuichi. He would find himself lifted off the ground and secured in strong arms.

A deep voice would inquire what he wanted to read and a young Ryuichi would cheerfully pick a new book from the massive bookcases surrounding the room. Ryuichi brought himself back to the present and lowered himself into the dusty office chair and saw the study from his father's point of view.

"Seems so much smaller now." Ryuichi muttered to the empty room.

The singer looked at the desk that had papers thrown across it in a familiar manner which gave him the feeling that his father was going to come back at any moment and take up the seat he occupied and continue his work. Letting out a sob, the man lowered his head to the desk and started to sob, oblivious to his guest imitating his actions from twenty years actions and silently crying over his friend's distress.

Yuki was angry, no livid would be a better description at the feeling running through his veins at the moment. First he gets a call from his brother-in-law telling him that that bastard Sakuma had his brat at a undisclosed location and secondly, his brats manager had mysteriously disappeared when the writer had gone looking for him. The blond growled low in his throat as he listened with half an ear to Tohma's babble about action being taken to locate both singers.

"When is he going to stop meddling in matters that don't involve him!?!" The writer snarled at the suddenly quiet keyboardist.

"That's the problem, Ryuichi sees this as his business for some reason." Tohma replied while cringing slightly as he waited for his companions reaction.

The reaction wasn't the one he thought it would be. Instead of going off into a rant with a lot of foul language and death threats, the man just slumped into his chair with a look on his face that brought Tohma back to New York after Yuki's 'problem' there.

"He is going to take the brat away from me." Yuki mumbled.

"Shindo-san loves you to much for that" Tohma replied as he quietly fretted over the other man.

"He has something over Shuichi that I can't fight." The writer snarled while swatting Tohma's mothering hands.

The two blonds conversation was cut short as the door to the hotel room burst open and Noriko pranced through holding takeout bags.

"I got food!!!" The cheerful woman exclaimed as she set the bag on the coffee table in front of the two suspicious blonds.

"What do you know?" Yuki growled at the woman as soon as she sat down in front of him.

"I know many things, you need to be more specific." Was the cheerful reply.

The only reply she got was to icy glares from the fuming blonds across from her.

"Fine, K found a old manor outside of the city limits that is under Ryuichi's name." Noriko drawled as she leaned forward to dig through the take out bag for something to eat.

"Then what are we waiting for, the bastard probably took Shuichi there!" Yuki exclaimed.

"K already took Hiro with him and went to check it out." Noriko explained.

"If you were to show up, Ryuichi might not be very cooperative in giving Shuichi back." she continued.

"She is right Eiri-san, all we can do is wait. Thoma told the other man.

A.N: I know it is short buut to be fair to me I had a chapter going on my laptop but that is gone now so this just came to me. I hope you like it!
