Chapter 10

A couple of days later Shuichi stirred and hastily opened his eyes. He squinted them shut as the sun from the room window glared down on him. Beep… beep… beep Shuichi sat up and looked around. He saw a monitor next to him displaying his heart rate and blood pressure. He lifted up his hand to find a IV situated just above his Crescent star 'what the hell happened' Shuichi leaned forward a bit but stopped as a sharp pain ran through his shoulder. Then he remembered what happened with Carlos and the fire 'oh that's what happened'

'I wouldn't move that arm if I were you'

'Mark' Shuichi looked up

'You are lucky, if that blade went any higher and you would have had permanent damage'

'What happened to me' Shuichi said as he stared at his IV needled hand

'Well when got there and you had collapsed; to be honest I am surprised you lasted as long as you did with the poison still in your system. Me Nero and Yuki got you out of there and brought you straight to the fighting ground were you've been out of it ever since'

'How is Yuki, is he alright, he didn't get hurt did he'

'No Yuki is fine, jus a bit of smoke inhalation, but he will live

'And Carlos'

'Dead' Mark sat down on an empty chair next to Shuichi's bed

'Oh'

'How does it feel' Mark said

'It feels like giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders' Shuichi kept looking down

'But'

'But what he did to me will forever be in my mind, I don't want memories of him to get in the way of my future' Shuichi said

'Well those memories can only make you stronger, and with Yuki their I am sure you will get over them' Mark said slyly

'What'

'Oh come on don't act so surprised I know you two still love each other and I will not take no for a answer that is why I am telling you to go home'

'Huh home but here is my home' Shuichi said confused

'No dummy back in Tokyo with all your friends and lover'

'But I…' before Shuichi could say no more Mark stop him with his finger to his lips

'I will not take no for an answer. You belong there, not here' mark said before a single tear ran down his face

'Mark are you…. Are you crying' Shuichi said a little worried

'I am soooooo going to miss you' mark screamed as he launched himself at Shuichi and gave him a bear hug. Shuichi was stunned before he put his arms around the man he thought of as a brother and hug him back

'Just don't forget about us' Mark said as he pulled away

'What about the others. What will they say'

'They will get over it, like the good little children they are'

'Who are you calling children, huh crying like a baby' Kenji and Noah said at the door way

'Áwwww Mark is crying how sweet' Nero cooed behind them

'Nero, Kenji, Noah you are all here' Shuichi said

'Well of course we are, we were all worried about you and you don't have to worry about us, we are all happy that you are going home. If you are happy we are happy' Nero smiled

'Thanks guys'

'Oh by the way I found a certain someone sulking outside' Shuichi perked up at this as Nero, Kenji, and Noah stepped aside to let a blonde walk through the door

'Yuki'

'Hey Brat' Yuki said as he stood in the door way

'Come on guys I think the hallways need cleaning' Mark said as he dragged a protesting Kenji and Noah away with Nero right behind them. Yuki watched them go while shaking his head at their idiocy. Shuichi saw this and sighed

'Sorry about them they can get a little carried away' Yuki could here the smile in his voice and turned around. The suns rays were shining down on Shuichi giving his head a golden halo and highlighting his black hair

'Come sit down I am glad you came' Shuichi said pointing to the chair that Mark had just occupied. Yuki sat down and looked Shuichi over

'How are you feeling'?

'A little sore, my Shoulder looks like it will be out of commission for a bit but other then that okay' Shuichi touched his shoulder 'I am sorry I put you in danger. Because of me you could have been seriously hurt or worse…'

'Stop that' Yuki suddenly snapped causing Shuichi to look at Yuki 'it is not your fault, you stopped it from happening and you seriously think I would let that happen after coming all this way to bring you back'

'But 1 left so many people behind, let so many people down is it alright for me to go back' Shuichi looked uncertain

'Of course it is moron. Your friends came here to bring you back didn't they'

'Well yeah'

'There you go question answered' Yuki folded his arms across his chest. Shuichi smiled slowly and nodded his head. Everything was getting back to normal. Suddenly Shuichi had an idea

'Um Yuki can I ask you something'

'Yeah go ahead'

'Can I kiss you' Shuichi said hesitantly

Yuki was stunned at Shuichi's boldness. He just sat there staring at Shuichi. Shuichi was starting to get nervous under Yuki's stare 'maybe he doesn't want me to kiss him. He might thinks its…' Shuichi's thoughts were cut of as he felt warm lips press into his. Yuki could fell Shuichi was startled by his kiss and with Shuichi's last reaction when he last kissed him Yuki ha to take it slow. He was about to pull away when Shuichi grabbed the back of his head and pulled him in for another kiss. It was Yuki's turn to be startled. But he was never one to let a good opportunity go to waste so he cupped Shu's ace and deepened the kiss even further. Unnoticed to them several pairs of eyes were spying on them

'I have to say a job well done' Tohma said as he straightened up

'Come on with my matchmaking skills how could it fail' Mark start laughing at his own brilliance 'what skills, the only skills he has is being a pain in the ass' Nero said

'Yeah it's a good thing he hasn't tried anything with me and summer'

'Why is that' Noah asked

'Because believe it or not she is quite scary' Kenji looked around as if someone was out to get him suddenly a loud and very scary voice could be heard through the house

' KENJI WERE ARE YOU. I SWEAR IF I HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR YOU IN THIS NEW BOOTS YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN A WORLD OF HURT' Summer's voice boomed throughout the hallway. Everyone turned to Kenji who turned white as a ghost

'Ah oh gotta go' Kenji shot out of sight before Summer spotted him

'Ha the love' K said as he and the others watched the retreating back run away 'speaking of love I wander whats going on inside a certain room' as they turned around to get a peek they were faulted as a certain blonde stood in the doorway

'Do you mind' Eiri glared at the occupants around the door 'how about a little privacy'

'Not at all just keep the noise down ok' Mark winked and laughed as Eiri let out a growl 'ok ok we are leaving' Eiri watched them leave making sure they were out of sight 'Yuki' a voice could be heard from inside he turned around 'ok ok be patient' Yuki closed the door but no before saying 'now where were we' as little gasps and moans could be herd throughout the day

……………………………………………..

A couple of days later Shuichi sat on the bed as the nurses unwrapped his shoulder that had been healing for the last week

'Ok can you please rotate your shoulder for me. Ok good'

'How does it look' Mark said. The nurse turned around and took of her gloves 'it is perfectly normal. Its like he never even injured it' the nurse wrote a few things in her book and walked out of the room leaving Shuichi and Mark in the room

'So nervous about going home'

'A little I wonder if Bad luck will get back together' Shuichi said sadly. Mark heard this sadness and wanted to soot it away. He wanted Shuichi's last day with them to be a happy one

'Oh come now if you wish it, it will come true' mark sat nest to Shuichi and put his arm around his shoulders 'and besides who else is going to write crappy lyrics like yours' Mark laughed at Shuichi's angry and confused face

'You've been talking to Eiri haven't you' Ever since Shuichi and Eiri made up, Eiri had insisted that Shu call him by his real name from now on

'What make you think that'?

'Cause he is the only person who says that and doesn't feel guilty' they both started laughing as they joked around. It was then that Mark remembered something

'Oh I almost forgot we got you a going away present' Mark ran outside leaving a confused Shuichi before coming back in with a long package in his arms. He gave to Shuichi who look up at him

'For me'

'Well its not for the queen is it, of course it's for you' Shuichi didn't need to be told twice. He tore of the long lid to find the most beautiful and long katana he had ever seen

'Wow its beautiful' Shuichi took it out and unsheathed it. It was so long it was almost Shuichi's height

'Isn't it you should name it'

'Mmmmm how about Mi no Touketsu

'What does that mean'

'It means frozen sword'

'Ah nice name, why that one' Mark was curious now

'Well to remember. All my memories of this place the good and the bad' Shuichi sheathed it back up and held it in his hands. Mark watched him as Shu pulled his sleeve up and summoned his Crescent star to show. The sword started to quiver and shake feeling the intensity if the power of its new master. The sword start to float in front of Shuichi 'Mi no Touketsu hear me I am your new master do you accept me' Shu held out his wrist were his Crescent star was glowing brighter. The sword hovered for a few seconds before responding 'this Mi no Touketsu accepts. Might I be forever by your side and follow you to death' it was then that the sword started glowing before being sucked into his Crescent star. The light died down as the room turned to normal. Shu continued to stare at his star until he heard a voice call out to him

'Shuichi are you ok. Wow I didn't know you could do that'

'Carlos taught me about it. He said that your sword is your friend and that it is a part of you' Shuichi thought back to when he first came here and Carlos took him in, back when Carlos wasn't a heartless bastard 'ad besides how was I to get it home'

'Good point well since your shoulder is better and you only have one more day lets go do something'

'With you and the others'

'Yeah why not I can also see if I can borrow a car '

'Are you going to drive'?

'Yeah sure am' Mark said as he walked out the door. Shuichi palled about 4 shades before gulping and ran after Mark laughing.

…………………………………………………….

It was about 4:30 in the afternoon the next day when Eiri and the others turned up at the showgrounds to pick up Shu. They had agreed the Mark and the others would meet up Shu and co at the airport. The limousine he was in stop at the front gate Eiri looked out the window and gaped. Leading up to the front door was a line of people holding candles. Flowers from the trees above were floating down all over the yard covering it in a bed of pink and purple

'What's all this for' Hiro looked out the window and saw that everyone had a sad look on their faces

'Well sir, Master Shui is leaving us. This is a sad day for all the fighting ground' the driver said as he turned of the ignition and got out of the car.

'I think its best if you go in alone Eiri we will wait here' Tohma suggested as he looked at all the people that was filling the yard of the fighting ground

'Hmm coward' Eiri thought as the driver opened his door and he stepped out. Eiri walked along the path all the while glancing at the crowd that had gathered around the yard.

'You have to be kidding me. All this for the little brat' Eiri told himself. He walked up to the front door where the two big macho guys were standing guard. When they saw him approaching they nodded and opened the door for him. He looked around the place then it suddenly dawned n him 'were the hell am I meant to find him in a place like this' suddenly a maid appeared in front of him

'This way please' the maid turned away and walked away down the hallway to her left. Eiri followed her until they came two pair of double doors 'here we are'

'Thank you' the maid bowed and walked away in the opposite direction. Inside the room Shuichi was staring out the window. He could see all the people down there waiting to see him off. From all the way up there he could fell their sorrow for him leaving. He sighed but not before a voice resounded in his head

'Is everything ok master' Touketsu said in his mind

'Yes just a little sad for leaving' he said. It was then he felt a presence outside the door 'someone is here master' Touketsu was ready to attack when Shuichi stopped him.

'Its ok its just Eiri' Shuichi didn't turn around when Eiri opened the door 'hay brat ready to…' Eiri stopped as he took a real look at Shuichi. His hair wasn't midnight black anymore but it was back to its natural pink colour. Although the road is still long it was nice to see that Shu was returning to his old self

'Do you like I think black was getting a bit boring' he absently touched his hair

'It's a change. Are you ready I left the others in the limo it seems you have a farewell party waiting for you. I swear wherever you go you always draw a crowd' Eiri said putting a hand to his hip

'Don't you know it. Come on we can't leave them waiting' Shuichi hoisted his backpack onto his shoulders and followed Eiri out the door but not before looking back at the place he had spent the last 5 years of his life. 'Goodbye' he closed the door behind him and walked away. They made it outside to find the whole fighting ground yard to be filed with people holding candles. It looks like the whole of New York had all gathered in one area. Nero's daughter was standing at the front with a maid with tears in her eyes. She walked up to Shuichi and held up her hands to give him her present. It was a prayer bead necklace of read and purple beads

'Thank you' he squatted down so that Miska could put the prayer beads around his wrist. She suddenly hugged Shuichi burrowing her face in his shoulder.

'Do you have to go I will miss you'?

'Yes I have to go but when your father comes and visits tell him he has to bring you or Shu will be very upset' Miska nodded and smiled. She let go of Shuichi who stood up and ruffled her hair. Shu and Yuki walked out into the crowd, which made a path for them. When they made it to the limo Shu turned around and looked over the crowd

'Thank you everyone' the crowd all cheered and clapped some with tears in their eyes. Shu climbed into the car and it sped through the gates of the fighting ground. Shuichi looked back as the Fighting ground as they drove away 'I will defiantly come back here' he sat back around and listen to Ryuichi have a one side conversation with his bunny

They arrived at the Airport a while later and found Nero waiting out the front of the airport for them.

'Well you made it.ah I see that Miska gave you her little present. She save up for months to get you those beads' the occupants in the car spilled out and onto the side walk as Nero helped the driver with the bags.

'Come on Mark and the others are waiting for us' Nero picked up Shu's bags as they made their way to the gate. They took the escalator up to the second floor when they saw Mark, Kenji and Noah at the top waiting for them.

'Well you made it are you ready' Mark said

'Yep sure am' Shuichi reassured them

'I can't believe you have been with us for 5 years' Kenji started to sniffle

'Yeah it seems like 5 minutes' Noah looked down at the floor with a sad look

'Come on guys lets be happy. We can always go and visit' Mark said trying to lift their spirits

'Yeah and besides someone needs to keep Mark in line' Shuichi said

'Yeah that's…hey I resent that' everyone started laughing at this when suddenly a voice came over the PA

'Flight 13 New York to Tokyo is now boarding'

'I guess that's us' Tohma stated as the group said their final tearful goodbyes as they walked away Mark called out

'Yuki' Eiri stop as he heard his name being called he turned around

'Take good care of him' Mark yelled out. Eiri just smiled a real smile and walked back to the group that was waiting for. As they waved their final goodbyes they were out of sight, the steward closing the doors

'Don't worry guys I don't think this the last time we hear about Shuichi Shindou' they all agreed as they walked away.

On the pane Shuichi was sitting next to the window looking at all the maintenance workers preparing them for take off

'I can't believe I am going home' Shuichi thought as he absently sought out Eiri's hand and held it in his. Yuki looked up from the book he was reading. Shu just continued to star out the window so Eiri squeezed it and Shuichi let go. After the luggage was put on board and the plane was checked for faults they took off into the sky, towards home.

……………………………………….

They landed in Tokyo international airport at 11:30 pm. Shuichi had fallen asleep on Eiri who's hand had gone dead from Shuichi's weight. K had the foresight to phone for a limo, which was waiting for them. They loaded up the car and took off away from the airport. Everyone was pretty tied but not Shu. Even after 5 years Tokyo hadn't changed much, still the same buildings and lights. People going on their lives like nothing happened. They arrived at Eiri's apartment because it was the first stop. The unloaded their luggage and trugged upstairs. Eiri unlocked the door ad they walked in. Shu looked around at the apartment that he had shared with his lover 5 years ago

'Nothing seems to have changed while I was gone' Shuichi looked around. Then suddenly strong arms wrapped around him from behind 'I could never change it hoping you would come back some day and you did'he turned Shu around so that they were staring into each others eyes. Eiri leaned and kissed Shu softly. Shu knew what Eiri was getting at and he was all too happy to apply. He deepened the kiss causing Eiri to moan softly 'this is what I missed for so long' Eiri thought as he felt Shu run his hands down his chest and over his arms. Eiri bent down and picked Shu up bridle style all the while still kissing him. He walked to their room and deposited his bundle on the bed before returning to the door and softly closing it sealing the world away from their sanctuary of love
