Chapter Three
I woke up and Yuki was still beside me. That made me felt more comfortable.
"Yuki, good morning," I shook his body. He grumbled, didn't want to wake yet. "Yuki, Yuki, let's have breakfast together."
"I'm still sleepy. It's 4 o'clock in the morning, you moron," Yuki said that in a grumpy low voice.
"4 o'clock?" I blinked my eyes a few times. "Really?"
I lied down on the bed again. That was strange. I never knew that I would wake up so early. It was silent in the room. And when I stared at Yuki, my fear started to haunt me once more. I hugged Yuki, hoping that the fear will soon go away. But I didn't know that he would be so angry.
"Are trying to choke me up?!!" he snarled at me.
"Gee…I'm sorry, Yuki," I blushed. He was so gentle at me last night. I never knew he could be such in a bad temper again.
I sniffed. I wished that I could everything about last night. But…I thought that I never could…
We had breakfast in silence. I nearly didn't put away my bowl of cereal corn flakes on the table from my eyes. Yuki…I don't know what to tell you about this.
So I called Hiro. I had some peculiar feelings just this morning. I didn't care much. After all, I knew Hiro would listen. We decided to meet at the studio.
"Help, Hiro. Last night…" I spoke up to him when we both met at the studio just like he told me to. I nearly explained everything when suddenly Ran and Conan came. They were 'blank' as usual. Especially Conan, he seemed to think all the time. But anyway, Hiro was in a jolt of thunder when she saw Ran came up.
"Ran! Nice to see you again!" Hiro gleamed, shaking Ran's hand several times, clutching it by his grasp. Ran just smiled faintly. She was smiling at me too.
"Good morning," I smiled back at her, after nudging on Hiro when he seemed not to care to stop holding that hand.
"Good morning, Shindou-kun," she said. Conan greeted me too. Gosh…they were just so bare. But I suddenly remember the accident last night. My nerves were out of control and I even started shaking. I wondered why I just agreed to meet Hiro at the studio again. I should avoid this place! How could I ever forget that?
"Uhm…I…I had something to—" I tried to explain while suddenly Hiro interrupted me.
"How about a taking a walk together. I'll by Conan an ice cream cone," Hiro asked. He quickly pulled Ran's hand and forced us all to go out of the studio. Conan seemed to agree. But he just followed us. Well, Hiro's idea was good after all. I will get myself killed if I stay in the studio another minute.
We did get out. Hiro bought ice cream for each us. I was relaxed for a while. I licked my chocolate chip ice cream. It tasted so good. Maybe Hiro should get crazy for girls all the time so he could always buy me nice food.
Hiro was babbling around with Ran while me and Conan didn't say anything much at all. I stared at the boy. His glasses were still too big. But I realized that he was in deep mind thinking, brain spinning. What was he thinking of?
I couldn't think of that anymore. Those peculiar feelings were hunting me again. I left Yuki at home. I knew that. But Yuki didn't know if he could be the one in…trouble.
"I have to go home," I quickly said.
"But why?" Hiro asked me, startled.
"It's Yuki…well, uhm…" I had no other choice. That was the time that I told them all about last night.
"Shuichi, why didn't you tell us?" Hiro gasped after I told them all, I knew that I was holding back my tears. I was completely afraid.
"We better get to there fast. He could be in trouble!"
We took a taxi. We went to Yuki's apartment immediately.
"Quick," we got into the lift after we got there. My heart was beating fast. Really, really fast…
"Yuki! Yuki! Open the door! YUKIII!!!" I screamed in fear when we all were there, in front of the door.
There was no answer. Hiro and I decided to break in. But suddenly, the door was…open!
"What the are you doing?!!" Yuki pulled my upper shirt, threatening. I moaned, trying to let myself go from his grasp. But then, he released me after he saw that there wasn't just me. He saw Hiro, Ran and Conan. He turned in a blush.
"So, you're really, really not in trouble? Do you feel like someone following you?" Ran asked.
Yuki just simply shook his head.
"Maybe, it's just your feeling, Shuichi. But we have to tell the police straight away about those guys," Hiro comforted me.
: "Yeah, I guess so." I took a deep sigh.
So that they, I decided to not to leave Yuki alone in the apartment room and I wouldn't go anywhere without Hiro or Ryuichi by my side. But the most important thing, I didn't want to let Yuki being hurt. Wait a sec? Yuki? Yuki even…killed a person. I settled a blaze of chill down into my brain.
Yuki was a murderer. Yuki? After I heard those facts and issues about my dearest lover. That was the very first time I realized all those things were. That was the first time I understood everything about him. But, again…Yuki, a murderer…I still couldn't make myself believe.
