Chapter 10:

Yuki's P.O.V.

Hiro never ceases to amaze me... I mean, he is so trusting. It's kind of funny. I mean, everything little thing I say he takes it to heart. He's about as bad as Shuichi was. It just makes me want that brat even more. Sick, I know, but there is something addicting about that kid.

I would have him soon, so I didn't dare worry. I just had to keep luring him in, using his best friend as the bait. Tatsuha didn't seem to think it was such a good idea. He called me a lot of things that I didn't think he would ever call me in his entire lifetime. I thought he admired me.

He glared at me as I told him my plan.

"So, you are telling me you are using his best friend to try and get him so jealous that he would come crawling back to you, completely wrecking the heart of Hiro and Ryuichi at the same time?"

"Pretty much." I said nonchalantly.

"That's just sick. I thought better of you, aniki."

I wanted to laugh into his face. He was angry at me. For once, my younger brother was trying to put some sense into my head.

"Look, aniki, I know you don't care about Shuichi that much that you would completely shatter the hearts of the people that not only care about him, but you with no regard at all. Shuichi doesn't mean that much to you, so why go to these lengths to get him back. If you wanted him back you could just march right up to him and ask him back. I'm sure he would melt into a puddle at your feet. Wouldn't that be easier?"

"Heh, yeah, that would seem to be the smart thing to do, and the easier thing...only, it's not so easy now. He's too wrapped up in Sakuma. Sakuma has him wrapped around his finger. As for Hiro, he's to stupid to see through it anyways. He'll just do like Shuichi did and run to another guy."

Tatsuha glared even harder at me. At that point I started to get confused. I didn't know what he was getting so worked up over. Normally, he wouldn't care what I did, but he was getting really upset.

"What's wrong, Tatsuha, got a crush?" I asked him with a smirk.

His face turned beet red.

"Quit changing the subject!" he yelled.

I laughed and patted his shoulder. I could feel him trembling underneath my hand.

"Don't worry, little brother, I can take care of myself."

Ryuichi's P.O.V.

Usually I don't like easedropping, but as soon as I heard Shuichi's name I had to stop to see what was up. It was Eiri and Tatsuha talking. They were sitting at the diner that I took Shuichi to the day after he and Eiri broke up. I heard Eiri tell Tatsuha of a plan to win Shuichi back over. Tatsuha was getting angry with him. To me, it seemed Tatsuha had a crush on Hiro.

I looked over it because I was too angry myself. Eiri was using Hiro to make Shuichi jealous and come crawling back to him. That was a sick plan and I would not let him go through with it.

----------------

Ryuichi stood from the table near Yuki and Tatsuha that he was sitting at. He approached Yuki from behind and stood over him, a dark and serious look looming over his features. Tatsuha looked up to see the angry Ryuichi and felt his insides freeze. He, as well as the rest of the world, had never seen that expression, or even that emotion, overcome the Nittle Grasper vocalist. He was supposed to be childish and happy, not burning holes into someone's skull with his gaze.

"What's this I hear about your little plan, Eiri-san?" Ryuichi asked, his tone of voice calm, but dripping with acid with each word.

"Spying, were you?" Yuki said cooly, taking out a cigarette.

"No, it's a little thing called overhearing, but call it what you like." Ryuichi replied. "But, I will let you know this... Shuichi will never come back to you."

"What makes you so sure of that?"

Yuki turned to face Ryuichi, looking up with amusment into the elder's face.

"I'll make sure of it."

"Oh," Yuki said, raising his eyebrow, "so, you are saying you want him all to yourself? Not much different from me, now are you, Sakuma-san?"

"I am nothing like you." Ryuichi replied, dark shadows cast over his bright eyes.

Yuki smirked at him, stood, and walked off, leaving Ryuichi and Tatsuha to watch him disappear, Hiro suddenly at his elbow.

"He's sick." Ryuichi said angrily, more to himself.

"Yeah, I don't know what his game is. Maybe he's just sex deprived."

"Nakano seems to like him enough to give him all the sex he wants."

"You are right there. I do know one thing, though... He doesn't love Shuichi, at all. So, that's why it makes no sense why he's trying to get him back."

-----------------

"Shu-chan...I have to tell you something." Ryuichi said entering his home to find his lover sitting on the couch watching television.

"What is it?" Shuichi asked, concerned about the serious look on Ryuichi's face.

"I--"

RING

Shuichi looked up at the door as the bell rang.

"Who could that be?" he asked. "I'm sorry, Ryu-chan, we'll talk in a minute, okay?"

"You know what?" Ryuichi with with a small smile. "Forget it. It's nothing."

Shuichi raised his eyebrow before standing and going to the door to allow Tohma in.

Ryuichi's P.O.V.

I couldn't tell him. I mentally slapped myself over and over again, yelling at myself that I should have told him. If I didn't tell him soon he was going to end up hurt. No words seemed right. In the end, he was going to get hurt, either way. I don't want Shuichi to go running back to Yuki and be in the bad relationship he was in before, I don't want him to leave me. But, I don't want Shuichi to get hurt, either. I didn't know what to do. I was at a loss. There was only one person I knew to turn to that could possibly help me in the situation...

...Tohma.

(A/N): Okay, reaaaally not the best chapter at all. I hope I didn't bore anyone to death. Please review!
