Don't you dare to run, Kadzuki! (Ildreen Love a.k.a The Evil Queen commands) You took two months to update this? I've told you that I'll send you to the dungeons if you update the fiction late! GUARDS! Seize her!
(panting) I sincerely apologise for taking two months to update. Please forgive me! (runs away quickly before The Queen finds out where she is)
This chapter is self edited. My beta is too busy!
Elfish Etyma a.k.a dntfckwifme: My beta! (hugs) I felt funny uploading a chapter without you editing it! Sorry for being impatient! I knew you like Eiji, but adore Eiji? You're the first! I'm so into Harry Potter now. I've finished Philosophers Stone and Chambers of Secret in two days and I'm aching to read the third book! I don't think I can wait till January. I'll get them at the book stores. Thank you so much Relle, for editing my work, even though it's a sucky job.
Remember my question in chapter 20? If you don't, let me refresh your memory. The question was, 'How many of you like Eiji?' Well, I've got the results! Please scroll down to the end of the fiction to view the results.
Stunned, Eiji looked at the shocked teenager in front of him. Never taking his eyes off him, the former manager remained still as he scrutinized Shuichi. The teenager froze on his spot, terror clearly written on his face. Despite it was dark; Eiji could see that his idol's face was ghastly white. His eyelids were lowered, as if he was afraid to look at Eiji.
Eiji heard himself breathing raggedly. His heart was pounding furiously every second, pondering what would Shuichi sama do next. Would he scream? Kick him? He thought anxiously.
Silently, he wished he had never touch Shuichi. He couldn't help himself. Shuichi sama looked so beautiful when he was asleep. The moonlight glowed on him and he looked even lovelier than usual. A few locks of hair fell in front, covering half of his face. His head tilted to the one side, exposing his long, smooth throat, almost as if he was begging to be touched and kissed.
Eiji tried to subdue his desires as he knew his motive in the apartment wasn't to touch Shuichi sama. The minute he saw him sleeping, adrenalin flowed all over his body, making him excited. He thought that it wouldn't hurt if he gave him a soft kiss on the teenager's lips, but he was wrong. The first kiss was so good that it electrified him; his entire body trembled in excitement. Unable to help himself, he trailed his kissed down Shuichi's smooth throat, nuzzling his neck as he did.
That's enough. His mind firmly told him. As he was about to pull himself forcefully away from Shuichi, the teenager moaned in pleasure. That was all Eiji could take. He unbuttoned Shuichi's shirt without a second thought, eager to touch the beautiful, slim body he had dreamt for as long as he could remember.
The man took in the glorious sight of Shuichi's naked torso. Shuichi looked so innocent and beautiful as he laid on his back. Stripped from his shirt, Eiji breathed in deeply as he gazed at the teenager. He was in awe of the deliciously alluring singer who was sleeping peacefully in front of him.
Eiji's heart pounded furiously, his fingers trembled as he touched the boy. He circled his fingers delicately around his flat nipple, caressing it in circular motion. Shuichi inhaled sharply as arched his body and moaned, begging for more. Licking his dry lips, Eiji bend down to kiss it. He planted soft kisses on each nipple, licking and teasing them gently before moving downwards to nuzzle his flat stomach.
He couldn't believe how badly he wanted this. His entire body screamed and ached for Shuichi. Wanting to see more, he dared himself to unzip the teenager's pants with his still trembling fingers. His heartbeat hammered against his ribs as he unzip the pants slowly, aching to see Shuichi's manhood with his own eyes.
It was then Shuichi opened his eyes.
Clutching on the thin blanket, Shuichi stay rooted on his spot, almost too afraid to move. Eiji move towards the centre of the bed when he found it was uncomfortable to sit on half of his buttocks. As the painful seconds passed by, Eiji grew tired of wondering what Shuichi would do. He opened his mouth and asked, "Shuichi.."
Shuichi jumped. When he woke up and realized he was almost naked with Eiji in the room, he didn't know what to think.
"He's just a perverted bastard who happens to choose you to unleash his perverseness on," Yuki's words haunted him. Yuki is not here to protect him and that made him even more afraid. Helplessly, he cried. The teenager was in fear –awful fear- and he knew that instant that there was no escape for him; he is encompassed about the terrors that he dare not think of.
"Shuichi," Eiji whispered uncertainly.
When Shuichi did not respond, Eiji dared himself to move a few inches closer, wanting to take a closer look at his idol.
"Konaide!" (Don't come near me) Shuichi cried out, alarmed. He shut his eyes and held out his hand, blocking Eiji.
"Shuichi," Eiji began again.
"No! Stay away from me!" A frightful Shuichi yelled, tears pouring down his cheek, wetting the blanket. His eyes opened and they widened in horror as he fixed his amethyst orbs onto Eiji.
"Shuichi sama, please don't do this to me! I…"
"I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN!" Shuichi sobbed as he covered both palms on his ears. He shook his head wildly, trying to block the noise from entering his eardrums.
"Shuichi sama, I won't hurt you!" Now, Eiji was desperate. It hurt him to see his idol crying, it tore him apart to see Shuichi rejecting him. In a flash, Eiji was beside the sobbing teenager, trying to comfort him in his arms.
The moment Shuichi sensed Eiji was near, he kicked and punched aimlessly, hoping that one of those weak punches would hit Eiji. He repeated his actions over and over again, only to find himself punching into the thinness of the air.
Eiji evaded every attack expertly. Learning martial arts for six years finally put him into good practice. He caught Shuichi's hands with his strong hand and tried to hold him still by hugging him.
Shuichi sensed that coming and gave one final kick. It hit Eiji right on his stomach. Eiji's grip on Shuichi loosened and the teenager took the chance to scurry away.
Sweating and panting, Shuichi stood up and run. If he could only reach the door, he thought as he reached out his hands desperately.
Recovered from the blow almost instantly, Eiji leaped from the bed and took two giant steps to reach Shuichi. He caught the teenager's hand just in time when he was about to turn the door knob. He gripped Shuichi's hands tightly and swung him around before pushing him away from the door.
Shuichi landed on the floor and yelped in pain. His pelvic bone somehow hit the edge of the bed before he fell down. It hurt, so bad that Shuichi could only bit his lip in pain. He clutched at his right side of the pelvic bone and tried to ease the pain by rubbing on it.
Shocked with what he has just done, Eiji rushed to his side and knelt down. "God, Shuichi sama, I'm so sorry," Eiji tried to hold Shuichi but his hand was slapped away by the singer's remaining hand.
With much difficulty, Shuichi cracked, "Don't…. touch me,"
Much to Shuichi's surprise, Eiji obeyed. With both hands by his side, he continued to look at the teenager worriedly, mortified with his earlier actions. He didn't know what came into his brain earlier when he flung Shuichi away from the door. Perhaps he was desperate to have Shuichi in his arms or it could be the fear of losing him in front of his eyes. Whatever his reasons were, it has never been his intentions to hurt him as the teenager is simply too precious to be handled in such manner.
"Shuichi sama, are you still in pain?" Eiji asked timidly.
Shuichi was too terrified to reply. With Eiji kneeling in front of him, it was difficult for him to even stand up and escaping from the lunatic seems like an impossible mission. He kept fighting down a sense of panic. This frightened him more than anything else than had ever happened to him.
"Shuichi sama?" This time, Eiji placed a hand on Shuichi's arm and tried to help him to stand up.
"No!" Shuichi screamed loudly. He forced himself to stand up and moved away from the man.
"Shuichi sama, I'm sorry. Please trust me, I have no intentions to hurt you," Eiji followed Shuichi to the door.
"Stay away from me, onegai! Shuichi pleaded, his eyes never left the former manager in front of him. His staggered backward until he felt his naked back touched the wall.
Eiji was not taking any chances. He took two strides to Shuichi and quickly secured his prey with both of his hands, each on one side, leaving the teenager trapped. For the first time, he managed to see Shuichi's face at a near distance. The pink-haired boy was trembling; his widened, terrified eyes stared back at him as sweat trickled down his face.
His heart throbbed badly to see his Shuichi sama in such condition. He didn't know how to reassure him that he wasn't there to hurt him. He only wanted him to leave the apartment with him. It was difficult to enter the heavily guarded apartment and the only possible way of leaving it was to walk out of the apartment with Shuichi. Taking Shuichi away is also the only way that he could scrape memories of Yuki Eiri from Shuichi's brain.
Eiji phrased his questions carefully before asking, "Shuichi, please leave this apartment with me."
Shuichi shook his head immediately before Eiji even finished his sentence. "No," Shuichi screamed in despair. Both hands spread wide sideways, trying to grasp on any object that was available in the room. One of his hands suddenly reached the edge of the bedside table. He roamed his hand further and his fingertips touched on the edge of the square, antique clock. It was probably the only thing Yuki had bought when he went for his book launch in other cities.
Without giving a second thought, Shuichi grabbed hold of the clock and hurled it towards Eiji. Bingo. It hit Eiji right at his forehead. Chance! In a spilt of a second, the teenager was already at the door, turning the knob and successfully leaving the bedroom.
His victory did not last long, for Eiji soon caught him at the living room while he was trying to exit the apartment. Both hands firmly hugged the boy from behind, wrapping them tightly around the teenager's naked torso.
"Let me go, Eiji," Shuichi wriggled angrily.
Where does all these strength come from? Eiji thought as he tried to secure Shuichi in his arms. For a thin boy such as Shuichi, he sure had brutal strength when it comes to times like this.
"Shuichi sama, please stop," Eiji tried to placate the angry teen by hugging him tighter.
His pleas were totally ignored by the teenager. Shuichi continued to wriggle before hammering his elbow backward onto Eiji's chest, causing the six feet man to groan in pain. His arms loosened, and Shuichi saw that chance. Breaking free from Eiji, Shuichi quickly ran to the main door and unlocked it.
He almost took his first step out of the apartment when Eiji desperately called.
"I'll tell you where Yuki is!" Eiji offered. The blow on his chest must be really painful as he coughed out the minute he finished his sentence.
With a single hand still on the door knob, Shuichi rooted on his spot. Did he say Yuki? "What—what did you say?" Shuichi spoke in a hoarse whisper.
"I'll tell you where Yuki is," Eiji repeated. He sank onto his knees; his right hand pressed firmly across his chest. "I'll tell you if you promise to come with me," Eiji continued after a sudden pause.
Eiji knows where Yuki is? Was he trying to fool me? No, it couldn't be. How could he have known that Yuki is missing?
"How did you know Yuki is missing?" Shuichi's face paled. When Eiji looked away instead of responding, Shuichi slammed the door shut and ran towards Eiji. He kneeled down in front of Eiji and asked again, "How did you know Yuki is missing?"
"Tell me!" Shuichi almost screamed when Eiji, again ignored him. His voice shook, his entire body trembled with fear and his heart beats twice as fast as the normal pace. God, did anything happen to Yuki? He must have something to do with Yuki's disappearance.
Eiji looked up at Shuichi's tear-stricken eyes and sighed. He never thought he would be using his triumph card soon, but since his plan to make him follow him quietly has failed, he was left with no other choice. Shuichi's concern over Yuki gave Eiji a deep stab of jealousy, a dark, angry feeling that he had not felt since- since that night he saw Yuki and Shuichi making love on the sofa in the changing room.
The jealousy tore him apart. In a flit of rage, he punched his tightened fist onto floor. "I'll tell you where Yuki is if you follow me," Eiji said it out loud and clear.
Startled, Shuichi got up and instinctively took a step back until his back touched the door. He leaned against it for support when he realized his knees would not hold him much longer. He trembled all over, feeling chills up his spine. The tremble intensified, shaking him so violently he barely managed to stand even with the support of the door. The teenager felt his muscles tightened and finally, he slumped down.
He was afraid, so frightened that he could barely utter a single word. It must be a trap, he realised when he replayed Eiji's offer in his mind. There's no way he will accept his offer, Shuichi thought firmly.
Wait. A fearful idea suddenly drove his heart hammering. He might never know where Yuki is if he refused the offer. Yuki could be locked up in a dark room, blinded, cold and hungry, waiting for Shuichi to take him out of there. He'll die. Realisation hit him and found that he was in a dilemma.
Don't think! Shuichi scolded himself. You know damn well that you don't have a choice. That's the only way you can find out Yuki's whereabouts and ensure your safety for the meantime, The teenager reasoned.
He rose shakily, surprised how difficult was it to stand. Biting his lip from crying out when his muscles tensed, he held the door knob for support as he struggled to stand up properly. As soon as he got onto his two feet, he stared into Eiji's awaiting eyes.
This is for Yuki's and your own sake. Don't hesitate, Shuichi told himself firmly. "I'll…..do as you say." Shuichi cracked.
Eiji gave a broad, triumph smile before standing up from his kneeling position and walked towards Shuichi to guide him out from the apartment.
"Wait," Shuichi halted. He disappeared into his bedroom and appeared a minute later wearing his t-shirt and long pants.
Eiji snickered, rested his hands onto Shuichi's shoulder before guiding him out of the apartment.
"Damn it, why wouldn't he answer the phone?" Hiro punched the buttons of his phone angrily. He has been calling Shuichi for five times but his best friend seemed to be too preoccupied with something that he did not pick up the phone. The guitarist was worried of Shuichi as the singer's emotion was in turmoil after the search in the evening.
Hiro gave up after trying for the seventh time and placed the phone on the table. Laying down on the sofa bed, he thought of the possibilities why Shuichi didn't pick up the phone. He realised that he wasn't getting anywhere with thinking so he jumped up from the sofa, he grabbed his motorcycle keys and dashed out of his room.
He checked his wrist watch the minute he arrived at the posh apartment. Whistling in surprise, Hiro knew he must have been speeding for he reached Yuki's apartment in just seven minutes. Removing his helmet, he walked straight into the apartment without bothering to identify himself since the security guards knew him.
"Good evening, Nakano-san."
"Good evening," Hiro politely answered and walked pass without stopping.
"If you're looking for Shindou-san, he has just gone out," The guard practically yelled.
Eyes widened, Hiro halted his tracks. "He went out alone?" Hiro turned and asked.
The guard shook his head. "There was a man with him."
"Who?" Hiro cut in before the guard could finish.
"I have no idea. I can't see him. His oversize trench coat covered half of his face and he was wearing sunglasses." The guard explained. "Weird, isn't it. It's dark and he's still wearing them."
"Is he tall?" Hiro went on asking. "Is he a weird man with gold, long hair?"
"Yes and no." The guard answered, which left Hiro frustrated
"What do you mean?"
"He's tall, but he's not the manager. I can recognise K-san anytime."
Hiro panicked. If Shuichi did not go out with K, who did? Tatsuha, the thought suddenly crossed his mind. He is as tall as Yuki and pulls on funny tricks sometimes. He smiled and quickly retrieved his mobile phone from his jacket and dialed Tatsuha's number.
"Tatsuha? Is Shuichi with you?" Hiro asked calmly.
He was expecting Tatsuha to giggle and say yes instead, he did the opposite.
"WHAT?" Hiro screamed.
"I haven't seen him since this morning. I thought you were with him," Tatsuha answered, surprised.
His blood ran cold. He ended the call without answering and immediately ran out of the building, passing the puzzled guard who was still standing next to the main gate. It struck him that it could be Eiji taking Shuichi away. But why would Shuichi willingly follow him? There must be some reason, he thought as he sped through the highway to get to Touma's residence.
Yuki, open your eyes. Yuk, open your eyes. Yuki
Yuki shook his head violently from side to side, desperately trying to open his eyes. In his semi-conscious mind, he saw a beam of light shone upon him and a desperate voice kept calling him.
When he finally awoke after battling for almost what seemed like an eternity, Yuki felt his eyes sting as the sun ray shone directly onto him. He fluttered his eyelids a few times, trying to adjust the brightness before opening them.
Finally able to see properly, Yuki pushed his aching body up from the futonmatress and placed a hand on his forehead. It was then he noticed he was heavily bandaged. His hands, legs and almost the entire torso were covered with white cloth. He quickly checked his face with his fingertips and found that there was another bandage on his forehead. God, he must have looked like a rotten mummy.
Ignoring the bandages, Yuki look around. He noticed he was in a small, old hut. The wooden planks were so old that he thought it might collapse anytime. There isn't much in the room, aside from a small table on the corner. The huge window offered ample sunlight and warmth, something which Yuki was grateful for.
He heard the wind blew, the sounds of the wave hitting the rocks and birds chirping merrily outside. Without any doubt, Yuki knew he was near the sea. If he could just reach the window, he'll find out where he was, he thought.
As he was trying to stand, a feminine voice called, "You're finally awake,"
Yuki turned and found himself looking at a beautiful young woman. She was carrying a tray of fresh white cloths, antiseptic and a basin of water.
"You have been unconscious for a day and a night," She smiled as she kneeled in front of Yuki.
"You're…"
"Tanaka Miyuki," She finished off Yuki's sentence.
"Tanaka-san-"
"Miyuki," she corrected and smiled gently. She placed the tray on the floor and looked at the writer. "May I change your bandages?"
Yuki nodded and stretched out his hand to her. Miyuki removed the bandage expertly and gently clean the deep cut on his arm. He had no idea how he sustained those wounds; he must had hit those rocks when he fell into the sea.
"I'm sorry, was I too rough?" Miyuki asked when he felt Yuki winched.
Yuki shook and head and continued looking at the young woman in front of him. She has a fair complexion; her hair was long, straight and raven. Her eyes match her hair, black and mysterious. For some reason, Miyuki looked like Mika, although Mika could never be as graceful as Miyuki.
"Is there anything on my face?" Miyuki asked, without tearing her gaze off his arm.
"No," Yuki answered. He was puzzled why she willingly bandaged his arm without questioning him. "You're very good at this." He commented.
Miyuki clipped the white cloth to secure it from falling apart and looked at Yuki. "I was a nurse."
"Was?" Yuki raised an eyebrow.
"Uh…hm." Miyuki hung her head.
"What happened?" Yuki asked.
Yuki had a feeling that something bad must have happened as Miyuki avoided the question by changing the topic, "What about you? Why did you jump off that treacherous cliff?"
The writer's eyes widened. "How did you know that I jumped off the cliff?"
"Dad was going home when he saw you jumping," Miyuki explained. "He usually passes by the cliff. That day, he was on his way home as usual when he heard a loud sound-- it was almost like a gunshot. It was then he saw you jumped off. Dad thought you were committing suicide."
"Why did your father bring me back here? He could have sent me to the hospital."
"The waves were very strong that night. When dad finally managed to locate you, you were already far from shore. Don't worry, we've sent you for x-rays in our local clinic and the doctor confirmed you have no broken bones," Miyuki smiled warmly. "So, why did you jump off the cliff?"
"I lost my balance and fell," Yuki lied. To avoid Miyuki probing any more, he quickly averted the topic, "Where is this place?"
"You're in a fisherman village. It lies in a small island three hours away by boat from Tokyo," Miyuki stood up and went to the other side to work on Yuki's right hand.
Yuki remained silent as Miyuki worked on his other hand. He had to get back to Tokyo. He was worried about Shuichi's safety. With him out of Eiji's way, that lunatic will definitely plot something to make Shuichi his.
Damn. He was still frustrated with how Eiji had tricked him. If only he wasn't so careless about it, he wouldn't had walked right into the trap. That bastard must have known that Shuichi was his weakness and he cleverly used the singer as a decoy.
He was lucky that Eiji was such a lousy shooter. He pretended that the shot had hit him and jumped down before Eiji could fire another shot. As risky as it was, he didn't have a choice then. Stay there and get killed or jump down.
"There, it's done."
Yuki stared at his freshly bandaged arm and murmured thanks. As he was inspecting the bandage, Miyuki gave an abrupt comment that shocked him.
"You look good with Shindou-san."
Miyuki laughed when she saw Yuki's shocked expression. "Oh, I know who you are. From the moment dad took you home, I recognized you as the romance novelist," She paused for a second before continuing.
"I read all your novels and because I'm such a fan, obviously I know about your relationship with Shindou-san," Miyuki added. "Do you think you can give me your autograph?"
Yuki smirked. "Usually I don't. Since you've save my life, I'll give it to you. Consider yourself lucky," Yuki said arrogantly.
"Really?" Miyuki's eyes sparkled. She ran to collect her novels before Yuki changes his mind.
Yuki starred at the door for a moment. Miyuki's smile somehow reminded him of Shuichi. The brat has the same sparkling eyes whenever he promises him something. Shuichi must be worried sick, he curved a smile.
Miyuki returned with a pile of books and a gold pen. "There, please sign," She placed the novels in front of him.
Yuki was about to take the gold pen when Miyuki suddenly exclaimed, "I've forgotten that you're hurt, I'm sorry."
Ignoring her, he took and the pen and signed the book and said, "I might be injured but I'm not disabled. By the way, I need to go back to Tokyo immediately," Yuki said as he signed the novels one by one.
"You're not in a condition to.."
"It's urgent," Yuki interrupted.
Miyuki sighed and shook her head. "I wished I could help, but the boat to Tokyo has just left today and the next trip is only available the day after tomorrow," she said regrettably.
Shit. Too late. I can't sit here for two days. Shuichi, Touma and Tatsuha might be worried sick. Besides, two days gave that freak ample time to do whatever he has been planning. God, what am I supposed to do? Yuki placed both hands on his head, trying to ease the throbbing pain by massaging it.
"Yuki san?"
He looked up at Miyuki's worried looks and thought for a moment. "Miyuki, can I use your phone?"
Touma sat in his president suit, hands crossed on his chest. The situation has gone bad to worse. First, Yuki mysteriously disappeared. Next Shuichi was seen leaving his apartment with a tall, unidentified man. He didn't know what else he could do. His private investigators are not helping much either.
Touma looked across the room and saw Hiro, Fujisaki, K and Tatsuha all had worried expression on their faces.
"What should we do?" Fujisaki asked aloud.
"I don't know," Touma answered his cousin and the room fell silent again.
"Fuck. Just get Eiji here and we'll know!" Hiro stood up and barked angrily.
"If I know where he is, our lives wouldn't be so miserable," Touma replied calmly.
"Damn that bastard. I'm sure it was him who took Shuichi away," Hiro kicked the wall repeatedly.
"Nakano-kun, kicking that wall would not…" Touma was interrupted by his mobile phone. He retrieved his phone and checked the caller's ID. He sighed and let the phone rang until it went dead.
"Who was that?" Tatsuha asked.
"No idea and I'm not in a mood to talk to clients now," Touma said and glanced at the hanging clock in his president suit, which read 11 in the morning.
The phone rang again, this time, it was his office phone. He punched the button irritably. "Tokuno, I thought I told you that I'm not receiving any calls today," he said harshly.
"But…but. Mr. President," The female secretary blabbered.
"No buts, I'm not taking that call."
"But…Sir… Mr. Yuki Eiri is on the line."
"WHAT?" All men shouted simultaneously.
"Put him through," Touma instructed. His heart raced furiously as he punched on the speaker mode. He wanted everyone to hear to make sure that it was indeed Yuki. The rest of the men flocked to Touma's huge table and stared at the phone intensely.
"Touma."
"Eiri?" The short greeting has just proven Yuki's identity. His brother in law always addresses him that way.
"Eiri, where are you? We've been worried sick,"
"Touma, where's Shuichi?"
Touma looked at the rest, who in turn all hung their heads. "Eiri-" Touma halted for a moment. He summoned his entire courage before continuing, "Shindou-kun…. is missing,"
"WHAT?" Yuki shouted. "What the hell do you mean?"
"The guards at your apartment said Shindou-kun left with a mysterious man," Touma replied regrettably.
"Fuck. It must be Eiji." Yuki swore.
"Eiri…"
"Touma, I'm currently at a fisherman village. It's three hours away from Tokyo. The boat has just left and there won't another one going to Tokyo for the next two days. Pick me up," Yuki said urgently.
"All right," the president quickly jotted down the notes on his note book.
"We'll talk when we meet," The writer said and slammed down the phone.

Gravity Neko: It's been fun talking to you on msn! (hugs)
Shakai: No, I did not kill him! I would never kill Yuki! Eiji probably got into the apartment when the guards weren't looking. Okay, that was lame. I'll think of a better reason how he got it in the apartment.
NIFTY AddiCkT: Finally, I can talk to you on msn! Thank you so much for your review. I love them so much and always look forward to see them in my review box. I'm so sorry for the late update! You must have camped in front of the computer for a long time!
Madison: Yes, Yuki is ALIVE!
Mistal: Thanks for your review! And NO, I will not kill Yuki. I don't think I can write a death fic.
Kemet: I'm sorry for being a meanie. I have so much fun torturing Yuki! (I'm a sadist-evil laugh)
tammy-love: Eiji would love raping Shuichi! I'm still thinking whether I should write that scene. I'm sorry for updating late! Assignments and tests, they kept me so busy that I hardly have time to write!
Ashley Vulpix: (cries) Ashley dear, please don't fall sick! You seemed to get various sickness every time I upload a new chapter. Thank you so much for your review and support. I really appreciate it! You create more Addicted to Shuichi lovers by translating Addicted to Shuichi into Spanish! (Hugs)
(gulps) I think Eiji can forget about having babies after you kick him right onto his… his… you-know-what.
DemonicDragon666: Sorry I was late in updating. Stupid assignments, wished I could just throw them out of the window.

clari chan: I've updated! You'll love me more now, right?
Aacire: Well, Shuichi is in deep shit and no one knows where he is now. I hope Yuki gets him soon! Touma, get Yuki quick!
Flame-chan: Wow! That was some review. I was half afraid that it was a flame. You don't need to bribe me to keep Yuki alive because I couldn't let the hero die. (laughs) So, you like Eiji? Why am I not surprised? I don't know why, but I've always thought that you'll like Eiji. When I started off with the fic, I wanted to write Eiji nothing more but an obsessive fan, but things went out of hand, and well --- and you're right. Eiji is not obsessed with Shuichi, he's madly in love with him. I understand what you meant when you said that I focus too much on Yuki, Shuichi and Eiji. I realised that too, but I have no idea how to twist it a little bit by focusing on Hiro and Suguru instead. I will try however, to insert the both of them as much as I can. Thank you for the lovely review. I'll look forward to read another one from you.
Ashcat: Thank you for your review! I take it that you don't like Eiji and I'll put it under the 'Those who hate Eiji' category. I'm sorry if I always end at cliffhangers, but I guess that's what most authors do to keep readers coming back!
hokage: (dodges the shurikens) Sorry I took so long to update. I'm glad my fic made your day and thank you for the review! (screams) I want those pocky!
Ryu Sakuma: I know what Ryu-chan can do! Pick up a gun and shoot Eiji!
xunxin kohaku: You sure you don't want to know what happens next? (dancing in front of xunxin)
xo-silent-whispers-ox: Hey, it wasn't my fault! How dare you blame me, Eiji? I'll paddle you! (chase after Eiji)
Ildreen Love: Ildreen-san! Oops. Forgive me for my rudeness, your majesty. Please be rest assured that I will not be able to take your throne as you still rule the Evil Kingdom. Knew you'll like Eiji. (grins) An Evil Queen who doesn't like Eiji? Never! Anyway, join Relle! (dntfckwifme) She likes him too!
artemis347: Good, you vote to hate Eiji! Don't worry, someone will save Shuichi soon--- I hope
dianna: Thank you so much for your praises (blushes) The idea came up one night when I couldn't sleep. My brain seems to work during those times. Sometimes, I wonder what's wrong with me.
ATH: I laughed so much when I saw your review. It was hilarious and I liked the idea of the rescue mission. That sounded so much like K! I love it! Thanks! (still laughing)
flippy: Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I'm still thinking what would Touma do to Eiji when he finds out about what he has done to Yuki. I have to think something terrible, something evil, something that'll tear his limbs out. (laughs insanely)
Yellow moth: I think you got a great command of the language despite you're not native English speakers. When I started off with the fic, I never thought of putting it in the original fiction. I wanted to write something on Gravitation, but didn't know what sort of fiction I should write. When you asked me why I did not make a whole, original story for them, it got me thinking for a while. I supposed you're right, but for some reason, I still want them to be in Gravitation fanfiction section. No, I have not seen or read Silence of The Lambs but I understood what you meant by simplicity. As for Chapter 14 to 17, they are light chapters because I want to slow down the pace of the story. It's like a short break, so that the story would not be so tense. Have no worries, I love your review and never once I thought you were flaming me! Thanks for the review!
clueless97: You're the second reviewer who wanted to kick Eiji 'there'. (laughs) Maybe I should write something about that. Finally, Yuki reappeared in the story! He'll be meeting Touma soon! I'm excited to write on Touma's reaction when he sees Yuki. Thanks for your review!
Tysonkaiexperiment: Thank you for your praises, although I think I don't deserve them. If you don't mind, can you tell me who are Kai, Kei and Tke?
Tenshi Lain: You're here again! Have Ashley updated the Spanish version? She told me she'll be updating soon! Keep your fingers cross ok? Thanks for reviewing!
