Title: Autumn's Raine

Chapter 1: Late Night Encounter

Disclaimer: I don't own the gravitation characters. o.o But! I do "own" the OC that appears in this fic. ^__^ She's all mine! As mine as a fictional character can be!

Warnings: Yaoi (though, that is kinda expected from a Gravitation fic, ne?), a little AU, and probably some OOCness. ^^ Sorry! I try!

Notes: Okay, this is my first attempt at a Gravi fic. I mostly write GW 1x3 fics. And I used to write Pokemon ones. But, I am trying to write for other series and this is my first try! I'm really sorry if Shuichi, Yuki and the other Gravi characters seem too OOC, I'm gonna try really hard not to make them that way. Also this is sort of AUish… you'll understand why I say that after you read this chap. ^^ Oh, and I'm going by the anime series, this is taking place after the end of the series. I love the manga, but for this fic I think that the anime personalities will fit a little better. (Not to mention easier for me to write, since I only have translations for the first four Gravi books. ~.~ I need to learn how to read kanji…) Well, enough stalling! On with the fic. (More notes on the end anyway. Mwahaha!)

                Shuichi let out a soft sigh as he made his way out of the NG building. He was glad that the day was finally over and he could go home to spend some time with Yuki, even if that meant him just sitting next to his lover while he typed on one chapter or another for his new book.

                It had been a month since Bad Luck's tour had ended and they returned to Tokyo. Shuichi had been afraid that Yuki hadn't returned home to wait for him, but when he walked into "their" place Yuki had been waiting. Shuichi couldn't explain it, but Yuki had changed and for the better. He wasn't *as* moody, and Shuichi was now able to sleep with Yuki in his bed almost every night. Though there were still some nights the couch was his only friend, mainly when Shuichi did something really bad to piss Yuki off and that was his punishment. Though he never minded, sleeping on the couch gave Yuki time alone to forgive him. And he always did.

                "I can't wait to get home!!" A giant smile began to form over Shuichi's face, excitement winning over his fatigue. "I miss Yuki! Which is kinda funny, since I just saw him this morning. HAHAHAHA! Oh, well! I still miss him! Yuki-oh-Yuki I'm almost there!! Oh… wait…"

                Slowly it dawned on Shuichi where he was, and he stopped for a moment. He had unconsciously made his way into the park where he and Yuki first met. And he had just stopped in the exact place where he first spotted Yuki that night. 'Funny… I didn't mean to walk this far out of the way.' Frowning slightly Shuichi let his eyes scan the area. It was quiet now; there was no one in the park, which wasn't that surprising since it was late at night. Blinking slowly he glanced down at his watch, "Ten thirty-two! Waaaah, I didn't know I was that late! I promised Yuki I would be home by eight! He's gonna be mad!"

                Just as Shuichi was about to being running the rest of the way home, something shine from the right caught his eye. Turning that way he noticed there was something half under a bush. Tilting his head slightly to this side in curiosity Shuichi made his way over to it, soon realizing it was some type of doll. It was lying on its stomach, dragonfly type wings on its back and long bluish-green hair flowing all the way down to its knees. Shuichi realized it was the wings that had caught his attention; the lamp post overhead had been refracting light off of the seemingly clear plastic wings.

                As Shuichi was about to take another step closer, to pick up the toy, it began moving. Slowly the arms to its side bent, its hands lying flat on the ground and it slowly tried to push itself up. It failed, falling back to the ground with a low cry of pain. 'It moved!! And made a noise!?'

                "…help…" Shuichi's eyes widened even more as the whispered sound came from the direction of what he thought was a toy. Even though he was confused and a little scared, the thing was calling for help and he couldn't ignore that.

                Yuki sat on the couch in the living room, a burning cigarette in between his right index and middle fingers. He had a glare fixed ahead on the TV that was turned off. 'That brat, where is he?' He thought, slight worry appearing over his features even with the glare still there.

                Just as Yuki was taking another drag from his cigarette he could hear the front door being thrown open, slammed, and then he could hear feet padding down the hall towards the bedroom. Frowning Yuki leaned forward to put his cigarette out and then he stood to make his way to the bedroom.

                As soon as he entered the room he noticed the bathroom light was on, and the door was slightly ajar. Yuki was about to walk over there when the door opened all the way and Shuichi came walking out. The front of his shirt had speckles of red along it and, from what Yuki could see, there was also some on his hands.

                "Yuki! I need your help! You know I am not good with first aid stuff!" Shuichi sounded panicked as he made his way to their closet, opening up and pulling out the first aid kit.

                Yuki raised an eyebrow, trying not to look too concerned, "What, did you cut yourself?"

                "No! It's not for me, it's for her!" Shuichi looked at Yuki as if saying, 'wasn't that obvious!?'

                "Her? What are you talking about?"

                "Come on!" Shuichi grabbed Yuki's hand and dragged him into the bathroom. Yuki's eyes widened at what he saw. Lying on the counter of the sink looked like a female Fairy, her face, arms and legs covered in cuts that were bleeding slowly and one larger gash across her stomach.

                Wait, bleeding? "Shuichi, what's going on!?"

                "She's hurt, Yuki! She asked for help, but I don't know how to treat wounds for a human, let alone a Fairy!"

                "…S…prite…" Yuki and Shuichi both froze and glanced over at the sink. The "dolls" eyes were now open and she was looking at them both. "…I…'m a… S…prite…" Slowly she began to move, trying to get up into a sitting position. Her face grimaced slightly at the pain, but that didn't stop her from sitting all the way up.

                "No, no!" Shuichi rushed over to the counter. "Don't move! You're hurt pretty bad, ne Yuki?" He glanced back to his frozen lover. Yuki didn't know what the hell was going on. "Yuki!"

                Shaking his head slightly, Yuki nodded and slowly moved over to the sink. He kept his eyes trained on the Sprite, showing his reluctance to help clearly. "…"

                The Sprite looked up at Yuki and smiled softly, "…don't be… afraid…" Her voice was soft and slightly labored from the pain she was feeling. She slowly raised her hand and held it that way as if trying to show them something, but nothing happened. "…too weak…" The Sprite slowly shook her head and then suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed back onto the sink.

                "Yuki!! Help her!!" Shuichi eyes widened and he began to panic when she passed out. "Hurry, Yuki! Yuki!"

                "Okay, just shut up!" Yuki turned towards Shuichi and snatched the first aid kit from him. "Go and get some towels or something for her to lay on when I'm finished cleaning her wounds!" Shuichi nodded and quickly ran out of the bathroom.

                Yuki sat on the living room couch, his arm around Shuichi's shoulder as the young singer sat next to him, now in a clean shirt. The room was dark, except for the light drifting through the sliding glass door that led to the apartment's balcony. It was well past midnight and both men had their eyes fixed ahead on the shoebox that rested on the coffee table.

                Yuki had done his best treating the wounds on the small Sprite. For what he could tell they weren't that serious, though from the stains on Shuichi's shirt she had lost a good amount of blood. Right now she was sleeping soundly in the bed that Shuichi had prepared for her. Shuichi had found a shoebox in the back of the closet and placed some hand towels on the bottom, and then another one to use as a blanket. Shuichi felt bad that it didn't look too comfortable, but it was all he could think of to make.

                "Ne… Yuki?" Yuki shifted slightly, looking down at his younger lover. Shuichi looked like he was forcing himself to stay awake. "She'll be okay… right?"

                Yuki moved his eyes back towards the box, letting a sigh pass his lips. "Go to sleep."

                Shuichi blinked, leaning to the side to look at Yuki better, "But-"

                "Go to sleep." Yuki's arm tightened around Shuichi, pulling him back against his side, "We can't do much more tonight. Just… go to sleep."

CCT: Okay… ^^ What does everyone think? See, a AUish character! Waaaah, horrible huh? -_- I'm sorry.

Sei: Why don't you at least let the people answer you first? I don't need you getting all depressed on me again!

CCT: O_O!? Sei!? What are you doing here!? I thought I banned you from making any appearances in my fics!

Sei: Oh, you did. But a muse has to do what a muse has to do from time to time.

CCT: O_o Oh?

Sei: Yep. I think this idea of mine is good; we just need to get further into the story. So, don't get depressed just yet.

CCT: …I suppose…

Sei: Trust me. ^__^

CCT: ¬_¬ … Alright.

Sei: Good.

CCT: Okay, please give me some feedback. I'm going to start working on the next part soon, and I'll post it if I get at least one positive comment. o.o

Sei: ^__^

CCT: Would you stop smiling… it's… kinda creepy.

Sei: =_= You're creepy!

CCT: ::gasps, leaning over and smacking Sei's shoulder:: Meanie!
