A/N: Thanks for all of you who've reviewed. It is much appreciated! Anyway, I don't think this will be as many chapters as I thought. Hm……...

Oh well.

Please, no flames

Chapter 14: Reunited

Hiro and Suguru sat back in their chairs in the rehearsal room. There was no way Shuichi was coming back, but Mr. K felt confident and called them both there anyway. As if that wasn't annoying enough, the trigger happy American left the room as soon as they arrived, telling them to stay there, and had not yet returned.

"This is pointless," Hiro said, as he moved his guitar from his lap against a wall. "Shu's not coming back. He made up his mind."

"Well, Mr. K seems to think differently."

"Please. If Shuichi were to walk in here in the next five minutes and tell us he's staying for good, I'd strip naked on stage."

"…..I'll hold you to it."

Shuichi took a deep breath as he walked through the doors of the building. He doubted anybody would be here, but he needed to make amends with his 'bosses'.

"About time," Shuichi stopped at the elevator and turned to one side, only to be face to face with…..a gun barrel.

"Mr. …..K?"

"You're late for rehearsal once again, Shuichi."

"Huh?" Shuichi blinked.

"That's gonna cost ya."

"Well it looks like you're not going to go nude on stage, Hiro. You have one minute left."

"Suguru, do you actually think he' gonna-,"

"I'M BACK!" Mr. K bashed down the door, nearly smashing Hiro in the process.

"Glory halleluiah," Suguru sighed.

"What is it that compels you to smash all the doors?" Hiro stood up and brushed himself off.

K said nothing, but smiled a sly smile.

"Well, in this case, him."

Suguru and Hiro followed K's index finger and gaped when they realized who he was pointing to. Shuichi stood there, head lowered, and gave a small wave.

"SHUICHI!" they both shouted in unison.

"And he's decided to stay!" confetti seemed to fall out of nowhere.

Shuichi wasn't so enthusiastic. He just stood in the doorway, wondering what the two were going to do, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up, he locked eyes with a smiling Hiro.

"Welcome back," he said. "Ya ready?"

Suguru already started setting up his keyboard. He looked up and winked at Shuichi.

In return, Shuichi smiled.

"Yeah."

Suguru approached Hiro. "You do of course realize he came back with the decision to stay in under the five minutes."

Hiro turned blue.

(A/N: just for fun)

IN A LIMO SOMEWHERE

Kyra: "You remind me of a man!"

Josie, Terra, & Limo driver: "What man?"

"Oh, the man with the power!"

"What power?"

"Oh, the power of voodoo!"

"Who do?"

"Oh, you do, you do!"

"Do what?"

"You remind me of a man!"

"What man?"

"Yeah, the man with the power!"

"What power?"

"Yeah, the power of voodoo!"

"Who do?"

"Yeah, you do, you do!"

"Do what?"

"Shut up, already!" Kyo was overly annoyed. "How many times can you sing that damn song!"

"Ah, but I LOVE American music, Kyo!" Kyra whined. "And I LOVE this song by the Atomic Fireballs."

"Gee, ya think? It's fairly obvious WHEN YOU SING EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW AND ARE STILL GOING!" he paused.

"AND WHY ARE YOU DOING IT TOO!" he shouted at the driver, who was humming the tune.

"Ignore him, he's just grumpy since his boyfriend dumped him," Kyra said.

"Yes, ma'am," replied the driver.

"GOD DAMMIT KYRA, I WILL KILL YOU! SISTER OR NOT!" Kyra just glared at Kyo.

Kyo glared back.

And it went on

And on

And on

And on

And on

Until…..

Kyra: "Uh, we could take 'em out of this rex,

Save us from the man with the hex.
Save us from his evil course,
It's gonna get bad, yeah, it's gonna get worse.

Uh, hocus pocus alakazaam,

Save us from that evil man,
With hairy legs and heavy feet,
He cracks up, baby, as he creeks.

You remind me of a man!"

Same Group: "What man?"

"This is going to be a long drive," mumbled Kyo as the others continued to sing 'Man with the Hex'.

That afternoon, the concert started and ended successfully. Suguru told Shuichi about Hiro saying he strip on stage if Shuichi came back in five minutes, but they both agreed to spare. He only had to take off his shirt. (T T)

Shuichi had just finished changing and picked up his bag to find a letter underneath it. He picked it up and read it.

'Shuichi

Meet me in the park as soon as you get this. And I know you will.

Yuki'

Shuichi paled. How had Yuki known he was back? K probably called him. Damn. Oh well, he had to face him sometime. He pocketed the letter, left the building, and headed off toward the park.

Meanwhile…..

Yuki finished toweling off his hair as he stepped into his living room. Glancing around, he listened for any strange noises. He could of sworn he heard a muffled crash. As he shifted his eyes toward the coffee table, he noticed a small, folded piece of paper. He walked over and picked it up.

'Yuki

Meet me in the park as soon as you get this.'

It had no name, but he recognized it as Shuichi's handwriting.

"Shuichi?" Yuki whispered.

Quickly, he set down the letter, threw on his shoes, and headed out the door.

Shuichi entered through the park and glanced around. Disappointment and nervousness reigned as he watched for Yuki. But Yuki was no where to be seen. He was debating whether or not he should leave, when a hand clasped his shoulder. He whirled around and was face to face

Eye to eye

And only inches away from

Yuki.

"Yuki."

Yuki was currently at a loss for words. A couple days ago Shuichi had told him to his face he was never coming back, and only later did that pain strike him.

"Yuki I-," Shuichi was cut off for about the hundredth time in the last few days when Yuki embraced him.

"I'm sorry," Yuki said. "I'm sorry for what I said. I'm glad…..I'm glad you're back."

Shuichi blinked. Was Yuki crying. They pulled away and Shuichi discovered he was right. Tears rolled down Yuki's face as the man stood there. It then struck Shuichi. Had he done this? He put Yuki through this over a dumb argument. He reached out and touched Yuki's face, wiping away the tears.

Grasping Shuichi's hand, Yuki, without warning, pulled Shuichi into a kiss. Shuichi submitted and kissed back. They stayed that way for a while until Yuki pulled away.

"Are you staying for good?"

Shuichi smirked.

"Forever," he crushed his lips to Yuki in a passionate kiss. So far, there was no sign of a release.

Little did they know they had on-lookers.

"Aw, how cute," Kyra said. She and the others were looking at the two lovers from behind a railing at a much higher ground level. (In other words, they're far enough away to see the two, but the two can't hear them.)

"I don't know," Josie said. "I'm still not used to the whole boy-boy thing."

"Well get used to it!" Kyra growled as she glared with fiery eyes at the said red-head, who backed away, trembling somewhat.

"One thing's for sure. Josie never ceases to amaze me," asked Terra.

Kyra seemed to snap out of her angry glare, her expression turning to a normal one.

"How so?"

"Maybe it has something to do with how she expertly copied Shuichi and Yuki's handwriting, snuck into Shuichi's rehearsal room without anyone noticing her, and I can't believe you picked the lock to Eiri Yuki's house!" Kyo commented.

"It was no problem," Josie rubbed her nails on her jacket, apparently quite pleased with herself.

"Indeed she doesn't cease to amaze," said Kyra. "Especially when she did all that so expertly and then tripped over a step in Yuki's living room like a dork."

"Well, we can't all be perfect!" Josie defended herself.

"Now what?" Terra asked.

"You guys wanna write a song?" Kyra received nods as answers.

"You OK, Kyo?" Kyra asked.

Kyo glanced over at his sister with a non-phased expression.

"You mean besides the fact I had to sit in a limo for over an hour with you three and the driver constantly singing that annoying song that is now stuck in my head that I never want to hear again? Yeah, I'm fine."

"OK, just wanted to make sure," sigh. "Things are gonna be different."

She seemed to avoid coming in close contact with him as she did a semi circle to the other side.

"Why, because of the gnome?"

"Well, I was more thinking along the lines of homo, but I guess it's the same thing." She jolted off just in time to miss Kyo's hand reaching out to grab her.

"That's bi to you!" he shouted after her and the other two.

He took a few steps away from the railing, but glanced back just in time to see Shuichi walking off with Yuki.

SMACK!

"Ow!" he turned to Kyra. "What is it now?"

"I just thought of something you can say now that you had a man leave you."

Kyo became annoyed almost instantly.

"What's that?" she pulled him down a little and whispered into his ear.

"Men?" he asked, somewhat baffled.

"No, like this," she made an agitated expression. "Men," she said with exasperation.

"Dammit Kyra!" he reached to strangle her, but she had already moved, cackling like mad.

"I know, I know! I'm being obnoxious! But you still love me, right?" Kyo half-lowered his eyes with possibly the most annoyed facial expression anyone had ever seen, then smiled.

"Always," he walked off, tailing behind Kyra. Before catching up, putting her in a head lock, and messing up her hair.

a tad bit earlier

Shuichi stopped and turned. He could've sworn he heard something. His eyes caught something and he shifted his gaze to a high-up railing a little ways off in the distance, just in time to see a flash of long black hair, flowing like silk under water.

He smirked. 'Thanks Kyra.' And he continued on his way.

It turned out that Kyra and the others in their band (MASK) had their own concert not too long after. Their hit song was titled 'Come With Me'.

Kyo's ribs healed and he won 2nd place in the long distance run in the Olympics that year.

As for Shuichi, well, he wondered if he'd ever see them again.

OF COURSE HE WILL! In the sequel.
