Chapter Ten: Planning

Once again they were at NG studios listening to Twilight performing. Shuichi however was miles away stuck in deep thought about Yuki. He wanted nothing more than to bounce around the room ecstatic that Yuki loved him and that Tohma had been the one to sabotage their relationship however currently he was Chaos vocalist of Touching Darkness who was calm and collected and the total opposite of what he currently felt. Shuichi watched as his band members mingled with Twilight.

Sorrow was with Hiro as they discussed guitars. He had calmed down quite a bit since Shuichi's late night out which was a relief. He couldn't handle being around Sorrow all day and night especially since it reminded himself of how he acted around Yuki. Mello was talking calmly with Suguru and Rage was annoying Daisuke. K was on the other side of the room cleaning his gun. Shuichi sat alone enjoying the time he had to himself before they returned to the apartment and Sorrow began smothering him again. Shuichi heard the door open and figured it was simply Alex entering to check on their progress and didn't bother turning around until Hiro looked up.

"Seguchi-san! What are you doing here?"

"Can't I check on my bands progress?"

Shuichi looked up into the face of Tohma Seguchi who stood slightly behind him. K scowled at him warning the president to stay away from Shuichi however he completely ignored it by placing a hand gently upon his right shoulder, smiling down at the helpless star.

"Chaos, if you're not too busy at the moment perhaps I could give you a personal tour of our studios?" Tohma asked.

"Of course, I'm actually very interested in the facility you have here." Shuichi answered with a fake smile.

Shuichi stood, well aware of the shock on K's face and the glare upon Sorrow's face towards Tohma. He defiantly was going to be in trouble with Sorrow later on tonight especially since he had now left Sorrow twice without allowing him to follow. Without speaking one word they went directly towards Tohma's office and closed the doors for privacy.

"Well I'm glad that you are still willing to talk to me after our last...encounter."

"I wouldn't be talking to you at all if Yuki hadn't explained everything yesterday. I'm also curious as to why you would even desire to talk to me."

"I would like to apologize to you directly, Shindo-san. I realize now how much you mean to Eiri and I am willing to support your relationship."

Shuichi couldn't hold in his disbelief even though he heard the same information from Yuki yesterday. Tohma had spent three years trying desperately to ruin their relationship which had been a success as Shuichi had left for the sake of Yuki's health however now he was admitting that he was wrong. After Shuichi got over the initial disbelief he felt as ecstatic as ever and allowed himself to bounce around the room.

"Yay! I can stay with Yuki! Yuki~ Yuki~ Seguichi realizes his wrong now! La, la, la~" Shuichi sang.

"It's good to finally see your true personality Shindo-san" Tohma remarked as Shuichi continued to jump around the room. Five minutes later, Shuichi had calmed down and was now sitting in front of Tohma.

"I hope that you will be able to forgive me and we can become friends after all of this." Tohma said.

"I would do anything for Yuki!" Shuichi said energetically. Tohma couldn't help but smile, this was the person that had opened Eiri's heart again and he was eternally grateful.

"I would also like for you to look over this information and tell me what your thoughts on this subject are." Tohma asked handing him a sheet of paper a devious smile on his face.

Shuichi smiled when he saw what was written on the sheet and nodded his agreement.

"If Yuki agrees to it then fine but only if Yuki agrees."

Without another word Shuichi returned back downstairs to his band and Twilight. Upon entering he could feel everyone's curiosity at his excursion with the NG boss however they kept it to themselves. K was staring at him though as if to try and decipher out of his mood what had transpired.

"Relax K I will discuss it with you later." Shuichi whispered sitting next to K.

"You had better." K warned holding his gun threateningly.

"Tohma what is this about?" Suguru asked.

The members of both Nittle Grasper and Twilight were present in the room as well as Yuki who for once in past three years had a genuine smile gracing his features.

"Well I have successfully located Shuichi Shindo and would like to formally invite you to his birthday celebration that will be held here in two days time." Tohma said smiling.

"You found him? Have you been in contact with him? What did he say?" Hiro said hurriedly ignoring the remainder of Tohma's speech.

"Relax, Nakano-san. Eiri and I have indeed been in contact with him and he has agreed to attend this event with us. I do believe that he desires to remain in Tokyo where his true friends are." Smiles and cheers erupted around them.

"Shu-chan's coming home~ Shu-chan's coming home~" Ryuichi chanted.

But no one could forget the look upon Yuki's face, a mix of love and delight for his lover.

"Shuichi are you positive about this?" K wondered. Shuichi looked up from the back seat of the car to the rear-view mirror where K was looking at him concern a mask on his face.

Shuichi had agreed to tell K about everything that had occurred over the past few days with Tohma and Yuki but only if they had a separate car from the rest of his band members. Slowly he had explained the day Tohma and Yuki had barged into their apartment and then the day at the amusement park where he and Yuki had reconciled in a small cafe.

"I'm positive, K. I want to return to the life where I was loved, a life where I could also love and didn't have to continuously worry about people trying desperately to guess who I am. I want my Yuki back." Shuichi watched K smile at him.

"If you're sure then I'll support you but what are you going to do about Sorrow and Touching Darkness?"

Shuichi shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly I haven't thought that far ahead yet. We still have-"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF IT YET SHUICHI!" K screamed turning around and pointing a gun in his face.

"K, KEEP YOU EYES ON THE ROAD!!! EYES ON THE ROAD!!!" Shuichi screamed back in fear as their car swerved while K ranted on about his job as vocalist of Touching Darkness. Shuichi simply closed his eyes and prayed that he would return to the apartment in one piece.
