Chapter 4-  Aizawa's scheme- Exposed!

'What are we going to do, Aniki?' Tatsuha looked at his brother as he asked.

'Tatsuha.. will you leave Eiri alone?' his elder sister cut in. 'Touma.. Do you have any suggestions? Mika turned and searched her husband's eye.

Touma sighed. 'Truthfully, I don't know what must I do now. My detectives have not found anything yet.'

'We need to find Shuichi first! If he saw the news, I doubt he could stand it!' Hiro suddenly interrupted. ' Shuichi's very vulnerable. I don't know what he might do or how he may react.' Hiro added on quietly.

At the mentioned of Shuichi's name, Yuki looked up and glared at them, which sent shivers to every one of them in Touma's living room. His eyes looked as if he is ready to capture and kill his prey.

The situation became tense. No one dared to neither say a word nor move an inch. Hiro's cell phone eased the tense moment when it rang a minute later. Hiro jumped when he heard the phone ringing. He quickly slid his shaking right palm into his jeans pocket and pulled his cell phone out.

'Moshi….' Hiro was cut off by K's urgent voice.

'Hiro!!! Did you see the news??' K practically shouted on the phone.

'Yes.. we are all at Touma's house now. Have you found Shuichi yet?' Hiro gripped at his phone harder as he asked. He saw Yuki staring at him.

Hiro heard K sighed. 'No… We've searched everywhere.. but we couldn't find him. Fujisaki are with us now.'

Hiro kept quiet. 'Where would Shuichi go? He's not in the park or the amusement park. Where else??' Hiro asked himself. He closed his eyes and thought hard, trying to remember the places where he and Shuichi had been before. A thought suddenly entered his mind.

'Hiro….. Are you there? Hey!!! Answer me!' K shouted.

'Masaka…. Did you go to his house?' Hiro cracked out.

Yuki's gaze snapped up when he heard Hiro's question. 'Damn!! Why he had never thought about it? Where else could Shuichi be? His house, of course!' Yuki cursed his stupidity and stood up. He walked towards Hiro and snatched the phone from him, ignoring Hiro's surprised face.

'Is Shuichi in his house?' Yuki snarled. He did not even bother to ask who was on the line.

K was taken aback by Yuki's sudden question. 'Uh… I don't know. We never go to his house.' K answered with uncertainty.

Yuki's cell phone rang at that very moment. He thrust the phone back at Hiro's hand and dug out his own from his jacket.

'Yuki here.'

'Yuki? Yuki Eiri-san?' a female voice asked. Yuki could hear her voice shaking.

'I'm busy now…' was all Yuki said. He didn't ask who she was, how she got his number or what she wanted. Only a pink haired singer is on his mind now. Yuki was about to click off when the girl pleaded.

'Onegai…Yuki san.. Oniichan… oniichan wa….' her voice wavered.

Yuki froze at the mentioned of the 'oniichan' word.

The girl continued. 'watashi no ani, Shuichi went off after watching the news! What is going on, Yuki-san? Do you know where my brother is? Onegai… tell me if you know..' The girl sobbed as she pleaded.

'Nani?? Shuichi saw the news?' Yuki practically shouted on the phone, his heart thumped uncomfortably.

Ma-kun quickened his pace. He needs to talk some sense into Aizawa as soon as possible. He took the lift, reached the 4th floor and walked to Aizawa's house. He was about to press the doorbell when he found out the door was not shut properly. He wanted to push the door wide open and screamed until Aizawa listens to him but before he could do so, a man's voice alarmed him.

'Tachi… when do I get Shuichi?' J asked as he gulped down the can of beer. J looked quite huge despite his almost 6 feet stature. Aizawa would consider J good looking if not for a scar on his left cheek and his messy hair.

'Soon, J.. soon.. When Shuichi saw the news, he'll come and look for me… that's for sure' Aizawa answered smoothly.

'How could you be so sure?' J eyed him curiously.

Aizawa did not explained. 'Trust me, J.. he'll come…' Aizawa affirmed.

'By the way, J..' Aizawa raised an eyebrow as he asked. 'Why do you want Shuichi so much? I mean, there are dozens of girls or boys out there. Why Shuichi?' Aizawa couldn't help but asked. He was quite surprise when J told him that he wanted Shuichi in exchange for helping him.

J gave his top ten evil grin of the year and answered, 'Nothing. I was just curious. Since everyone seems to love him so much, especially that famous love story writer, Yuki, I wonder if he's good in bed. I'd like to try it myself.'

Aizawa laughed out genuinely. 'That's your reason, J? Ma… remember to snap some pictures for me.'

'No problem, Tachi..'

'J… what do we do with Shuichi after that?'

J narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Aizawa before whispering. 'Kill him.. of course.'
Aizawa looked shock for the moment. Eventually, he accepted the idea and smiled. 'That's a damn good idea.' And they laughed.

Little did they know, Ma-kun was standing right in front of Aizawa's apartment, listening to every word. 

************************************************************************

Touma and Mika sighed at the sight of Yuki Eiri. Yuki didn't talk much after the phone call from Shuichi's sister. His mood had gone from bad to worst. No one in the apartment, including K dared to say a word.

'Eiri..' Mika began..

'Shut up..' Yuki growled. He leaned against the wall and thought hard. 'Where the hell would Shuichi be?' Shuichi's sister told him that he ran out after the watching the news. 'But then, where would he go and what is that damn note all about?'

'DAMN!!' Yuki cursed aloud. He strode towards the door and opened it wide.

'Chotto.. Aniki.. where are you going?' Tatsuha asked.

'Out..' was all he answered.

'Demo.. Eiri san.. what if they are news from my detectives?' Touma tried to stop Yuki from going.

Yuki gave a cold stare at the rest of them. ' It's better than just sitting here doing nothing.' Yuki shouted.

'But then.. we don't know where is Shuichi either.' Tatsuha interrupted quietly.

Yuki swung his body around and grabbed Tatsuha who is a few feet away from him and slammed his otouto's body against the wall.

'Yuki… cool down!!' K tried to pull Yuki away from his brother.

'Aniki.. gomen.. please..let me go..' Tatsuha pleaded. He's scared of his brother's deadly look. Yuki never lost control before. He's always cool and in control. Yuki's glaring eyes, his deadly look and his outraged temper was enough to scare Tatsuha.

Yuki's loosened his grip on Tatsuha. Truthfully, he was surprised himself. He scolded Tatsuha all the time but he never grabbed Tatsuha like that before. 'Shuichi, what are you doing to me?' he asked himself.

'Eiri.. Take my car keys..' Yuki looked surprised for the moment. 'You're not going to walk are you?' Mika stepped forward and gave her car keys to Yuki.

Yuki took it without complaining. 'Touma…if there is any news, call me' Yuki commanded before striding out of the apartment.

' You know, Yuki-san is right. We're not going to sit here doing nothing.' Hiro said after Yuki left the apartment. 'K…let's go and find Shuichi.' Hiro invited. K nodded and the two of them left the apartment.

Touma, Mika, Sakano, Fujisaki and Tatsuha looked at each other dumbly. Just then, a man burst into their apartment and sent the occupants to jump in surprise.

Touma looked at the man. He instantly recognized him as Ma-kun, a member of ASK. 'Ma-kun..what are you doing here?' Touma asked curiously.

Ma-kun is still panting, trying to catch his breath. His body bended slightly and his hands clasped on his knees as he gasped for air. He had been running for the past half an hour to get to Touma's apartment.

'Seguchi-san.. he began, still panting.'

All 5 people were shocked when Ma-kun suddenly dropped his knees in front of Touma. 'Ma-kun..what the hell…'

'Onegai..' Ma-kun cut off Touma's sentence. 'Onegai.. help Tachi..' Ma-kun pleaded.

'What's wrong?' Touma asked.

'Tachi… Shuichi…' Ma-kun choked with his words.

Touma's eyes widened as he heard Shuichi's name. 'What about Shuichi?' Touma knelt down and grasped his hands on Ma-kun, shaking him slightly as he asked.

Ma-kun is already crying. 'Tachi.. he threatened Shindou-kun to leave Bad Luck with what Yuki did when he was 16.  Then, he published Shuichi's photo in the papers. Now.. a friend of his named J wanted Shuichi. They'll kill him after J…' Ma-kun cracked out.

Touma did not need to ask what J would do. He understood it straight away.

'Touma.. onegai.. help Tachi. Please stop him before he does anything stupid.' Ma-kun pleaded again. 'Please…' he whispered.

************************************************************************

Yuki drove furiously. He kept on thinking about Shuichi. Visions of the boy, lying somewhere in a ditch somewhere starring lifelessly up into the sky sent his heart racing.

'Shu-chan..where are you?' Yuki almost sobbed as he said that. He was too proud to admit his feelings in front of Touma, Mika and the bunch of idiots, that's why he remained silent all the time, controlling his anger, his fears.

A phone call interrupted his thoughts. 'Yuki here.'

'Eiri-san.' Touma said urgently.

'What's the news?' Yuki gulped down. He hoped it wasn't what he had just envisioned.

Yuki listened to the news silently as Touma explained.

'Where is he?' Yuki managed to ask calmly. He clicked off as soon as Touma informed him.

'Aizawa Tachi..' He gritted his teeth. His blood is surging with fury now. He took out the revolver, which he stole from K just now and held it tightly in his arms. 'Aizawa.. If you lay your filthy hands on Shu-chan… zettai yurusai nai! I swear I'll kill you!' Yuki growled and pumped the pedal harder.

************************************************************************

Aizawa Tachi hummed as he poured himself a glass of wine. He took a seat at the comfortable sofa in the living room and sipped the wine, enjoying the moment. J left an hour ago after drinking a few cans of beers

'Cheers… This toast is for your hard work, Tachi,' He toasted himself and sipped his wine when someone banged his apartment door loudly.

'Damn..' he cursed when he spilled some wine on his favorite shirt. 'It must be Ma-kun with his pleas again,' he concluded. He placed the wine goblet on the table, stood up and walked towards the door, trying to clean his shirt with his bare hands.

'Teme… Ma-kun..look what you've done to……' Aizawa's stopped when he saw the boy standing in front of him wasn't Ma-kun, but a pink haired singer.

'Well, well, well….. what do we have here?' Aizawa sneered. He leaned his left shoulder against the half opened door, folding his arms and smiled at his rival.

Shuichi glared at Aizawa with his swollen eyes. He grabbed the taller boy's collar and pushed him inside the apartment. 'How could you? How could you do that to me.. damn you!' Shuichi shouted, tears threatening to spill any second.

Aizawa who was obviously stronger than Shuichi grabbed his hands away and pushed the petite singer away, causing Shuichi to stagger backwards and fell down on his but. Aizawa adjusted his shirt and turned to close the door. He then turned to Shuichi and kneeled down right in front of him. He placed his palm on Shuichi's right cheek, wiped away the tears gently before whispering. 'Poor little Shuichi… You look so kawaii now, you know that? No wonder Yuki Eiri is attracted to you. But.. the look on your face now disgusted me..' Aizawa gentle hands turned rough and smacked Shuichi hard on his face, causing Shuichi to groan in pain.

'You promised me….' Shuichi placed a hand on his cheek, trying to rub off the pain as he whispered.

Aizawa stood up and snorted. ' Promise? When did I promise you? I only promise you I wouldn't tell the press about what Yuki did! Now.. Listen Shuichi…' Aizawa's voice turned deadly. 'Making you quitting the band was only part of my plan. I want you to suffer, to experience what I've gone through' Aizawa jabbed a finger on his chest before continuing, 'I want you to suffer the pain without Yuki Eiri, your friends and fans!!' Aizawa laughed evilly.

Shuichi felt his anger then. He rose up, closed their distance and tried to punch Aizawa on his face. Aizawa, with his brilliant six senses, felt Shuichi's intention and blocked Shuichi's fist perfectly before counter attacking. He punched Shuichi hard on the stomach and whispered.

'Feel the pain, Shuichi.. Feel it now.. because you might not have a chance to do so after this.'

Shuichi screamed in pain. He felt a thousand needles piercing through his stomach. He tried to wriggle free from Aizawa but Aizawa kept him firmly on place and gave another blow on Shuichi' stomach. Shuichi groaned again before collapsing in his arms, unconscious.

He carried Shuichi and dumped him onto the sofa, took out his cell phone and dialed J's number.

'J…Tachi here. I've got Shuichi with me.'

J grinned wickedly. ' Good.. I'll be there in 15 minutes.
