HEHE!!! LOOK!!! I'm FINALLY GONNA FINISH!!!! Ain't that a surprise! For those who actually care Looks down at her three cats this is the last chapter! Than probably an epilogue (just cause I already have an idea) But the epilogue will be done soon, like maybe at the same posting as this.. Me gotta see ^^! Anyways, enjoy!
~*~*~
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
Shuichi rocked back at the force of the yell, coughing lightly as dust fell from the ceiling, rudely woken from its sleeping place at the powerful voice.
He looked up tentatively, taking in Yuki's face. The normally silky smooth looked pale, like all the color had literally been drained out of it. The crow's feet in the corner of the writer's eyes were more pronounced, and Shuichi doubted it was from laughing. They seemed to have dug deep, separate trenches. The clothes that he wore didn't hang on him with a cool grace as before, they instead seemed rumpled and wrinkled. As if they had just been thrown on. All in all, Yuki looked more like Shuichi did in the morning than Yuki at any time. Had his accident really affected his lover this much? While depressing in one aspect, it also made Shuichi smile. His lover was a rather cold man, bred from experience, and while he would rather something like this had never happened, it was still nice to know he was cared for.
The grip on his arm tightened and suddenly he realized that the question had not been rhetorical, and indeed, Yuki was expected and answer.
"Ah! Well, um, yeah. you see." Shuichi stuttered, barely able to look up into Yuki's glowering eyes.
"You're injured! You were in a coma! BAKA!" Yuki's finger bit into his shoulder and the young singer expected to me shaken back and forth at any moment, but surprisingly the larger man refrained.
"He would have fallen if I didn't come!" Shuichi yelped in defense.
Than he paused and kind of looked away. Technically, Ken wouldn't have fallen in the first place if he hadn't come. So did that mean this whole mission was just a fluke? Or was it really meant to happen this way? For Shuichi to cause, and then correct the accident? But if it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been there, what was the point! They could have just sent him to help someone else? Was it Fate? Was it meant to be? Was it just him or is the room starting to spin rather violently?
"Oh.. I feel dizzy." With surprising grace, Shuichi collapsed forward.
Strong arms wrapped securely around him, tugging him close. And, basking in the first real warmth he'd felt in days, Shuichi closed his eyes and allowed himself to drift pleasantly away.
~*~*~
Awareness came slowly. And with it came a shocking amount of pain.
"Owww!!!" Shuichi whimpered, not evening feeling the energy to open his eyes. "God's my shoulder hurts."
"It should." A dark voice said.
Shuichi squeaked, bright eyes flying open to find ice blue ones just half a foot away. They were narrow and rather reminded him of Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin when the sweet man reverted to Battousai phase.
He was saved from any further glaring when the door burst open. He looked up to find Hiro, K, Suguru, Ryuichi, Mika, and Tatsuha entering the room. {Just a regular old party in Shuichi's room!}
"SHU-CHAN!!!" Ryuichi yelped, lunging forward to embrace Shuichi. He was about a foot away when he suddenly came across a rather huge obstacle. Still narrowed ice blue eyes were now centered on him, and he decided, rather wisely, that embracing Shuichi could wait.
"Shu, how are you?" Hiro said softly, genuine concern seeping out of every pore. Yuki glowered, but allowed the guitarist to come close. He knew that the man truly loved Shuichi and wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
"I'm fine! I just wanna get out! I don't like it here and I wanna go home with Yuki!" Shuichi pouted sadly.
Everyone stared at him, than sweat dropped lightly.
"Well, at least he's still him." Suguru said slowly.
As everyone started talking to one another, Shuichi looked out the window. Was this really done? He bit his lip and looked back, only to find Yuki yet again only half a foot away.
"GAH! Ah. hi Yuki! How are you?" He knew that his stuttering words were out of the ordinary, and probably made his lover more suspicious than he already was, but the singer couldn't help it! He was just not good at lying!
"Hn. Fine."
A rather awkward silent filled the room, and Shuichi bit his lip, looking away a little uncertainly. He hated not telling Yuki the whole truth, though normally the older man didn't care. But when Yuki was actually curious, it was next to impossible.
~Gotta change topic, gotta change topic, gotta change topic, AH!~
"How's Ken?"
Yuki's eyebrows rose in confusion.
"Ken?"
"You know, the boy that started to fall off the bridge. He was my. um, yeah." Shuichi cut himself off abruptly. He couldn't very well say that Ken was his third case.
..
..
THIRD!!!!!!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!! Ken was only his third, which meant he had one more person to do before his time was up. That meant he had glance at watch ..two.. minutes.
Shuichi wailed suddenly, causing Yuki to jump back. Staring hard at the young singer, Yuki tried to figure out what the hell was his problem. One second he was acting nervous, then his eyes got all wide, then he started crying, and rather loud at that.
"I DON"T WANNA!" The boy yelled, before his eyes widened almost impossibly for a second, and then he collapsed back, lying utterly still on the bed.
There was a long, still silence, before everyone surged forward.
"SHUICHI!!!!"
~*~*~
"NO!" Shuichi was howling even before he came to full consciousness.
"Sakura! I don't wanna die! NO!" Big alligator tears appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he sniffled madly, depression eating him up inside.
"No worries Shuichi." A familiar voice said.
Shuichi whirled around.
"Sakura!"
The girl angel smiled sweetly, before sitting down next to Shuichi.
"I'm sending you back, I just had to talk to you one last time, which I should have done earlier, but there was just no chance to."
"I'm going back? Hontou?"
"Yep!"
"But how? I mean, I only saved three people."
Sakura paused for a moment, and than smiled. "Alright, but I have to make this fast. A body can only last a few minutes without oxygen. Then the brain starts getting messed up."
Shuichi paled quite considerably.
"Sure, you only saved three that we made you do. But you saved many more on your own."
"More?"
"Yep! Your singing touched quite a few hearts, as well; your kindness has helped your friends. But most importantly, your love has saved Yuki."
"Yuki?" Shuichi repeated slowly, eyes wide.
"Hai! He was written down to die years ago, and he would have, if he hadn't met you. But you didn't only save him from death, you saved him from himself. You saved the essence that makes him. him. And that's something we could never do. So we're very grateful to you.
"I.. helped Yuki?" Shuichi didn't need a response, instead he started smiling. And it was a true smile, not one of his normal genki happiness. Even the tears that fell down his face couldn't take away the radiance.
"I'm glad."
Sakura smiled back softly, than slammed her fist into her palm and jumped to her feet.
"Ah! It's time. Any longer and you'll be more mentally messed up than you are now."
"OI!" Shuichi stuck his tongue out at her.
"Time to go back sweetums. It was fun working with you."
"You too." Shuichi said as he started to fade out. "I'll miss you Sakura."
"Me to Shuichi, me to."
He got one last glimpse of her smile as he completely faded out.
"Say hi to K for me!"
~*~*~
Okay, that little smarmy moment was too much. didn't really fit the story, but I wanted it, so sorry! (It was also a sucky smarmy)
~*~*~
Oxygen rushed into his lungs in one powerful whoosh, making him gurgle from getting too much at one time. Overpowered, he began to gasp and cough, pain wracking his figure as his shoulder was repetitively jostled.
"Shuichi." Someone breathed.
Said person opened his eyes to look around, finding himself on the receiving end of nine stares. (There was also a doctor and a nurse in there) One hand clutched his own, and from the warm feeling that he got from it, he knew it was Yuki. He was a bit concerned about the trembling he could feel in it.
"Wow, that rather hurt." Shuichi stated, than he smiled brightly, mostly to reassure the trembling hand. "But I'm alright now! No more of that!"
Silence filled the room.
"What the hell do you mean no more of that? You were freaking dead BAKA!" Suguru yelled.
"Hai hai! Demo I'm fine now. I'm not going to do that again." He hit his chest lightly. "I'm good!"
"How the hell could you know?"
"Ah. Well. Um. you see. I guess. you. well. Just a feeling I guess!" Shuichi finally stated.
Sweat drops all around. (And you and you and you)
Suddenly it sounded like Satan entered the room. "You do that again and you will die." The barrel of a gun pressed firmly against his temple, eyes replaced by shinny stars.
"H-hai!"
"Alright, alright. That's enough. Would everyone please leave?" The doctor ushered everyone out of the room. "I want to make sure the patients alright, and so I need to run a few tests."
With a few grumbles, everyone allowed themselves to be lead out of the room. But one stopped at the doorway, looking back.
"I'll be back." Yuki stated, eyes surprisingly wide and vulnerable.
Shuichi smiled that genuine smile again.
"I know."
~*~*~
GAH! So corny, so bad, so sorry. But at least I finally finished it. (Well, except for epilogue) which is nothing really important. I hope you all at least somewhat enjoyed my fic. And I'm sorry for taking soo long!! GOMEN!!!
