AN: If you have noticed, I have posted a chapter close to once a day or so. That's cause these are all chapters I wrote before I had an account. This is the last of my completed chapters. Don't worry, I'm going to stay up all night tonight and write write write! Btw, this is when it gets kinda sad, kinda sweet. *sniffles*

"Can I ask you a question?" Shin said after the third cup of coffee. "Of course." Michiru answered. Shin sighed. "Now, you've been friends with Ami for quite a while. Maybe you can tell me while she cut me and her off?" Michiru took a sip and let out a depressed sigh. "Actually, it is kind of my fault. See, Shin, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but you really should know. You weren't the only 'soulmate' she had." Michiru gave her a dazed look. "I'm sorry, Shin. She was cheating on you. As soon as I found out, I told her that she had to either end her relationship with you, or the other guy. She chose him. I...I feel like it's my fault. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
Shin was still a little shocked, and he felt a tear fall from his eye. "Please, Michiru. None of this is your fault. You did the right thing. You are a true friend. But, If you don't mind, I must take a rain check on the swimming invite, I do hope you understand." Michiru smiled. "Of course, just call when the waves call." They stood up and embraced, then went their seperate ways. Shin was feeling crushed. He thought he and Ami truly had something special, but know he finds out that she had something special with others than him. He needed to get away. He needed a place to go. He couldn't go home, he'd have to confront all the questions there. He had to go somewhere where he could be alone, no one talking to him. 'Bar.' was the only word in his mind. He needed to get something to drink that was a little stronger than coffee. He walked into Charlie's, the only bar he could think of. As he walked into the dark room, he took a stool at the bar. "Aah, Shin. What are you doin' here without any of your firends who actually are into guys?" Charlie, the bar's owner, said jokingly. He had been a fan of 'The Five', and was a good firned to all of them. He was tall, slender, with short, messy, blonde hair and fierce golden eyes, which reminded Shin of a lion. "I've ran into some particularly bad news, Charles. Give me some bourbon, please." Charlie nodded, and poured his drink. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, concern in his voice. Shin smiled sadly. "No, but thank you anyway." Charlie looked at him for a while, then began to walk away.
"You know what bothers me?" Shin began. "That she didn't even have the guts to tell me. She just went on, not a care in the world. Didn't even give me a thought." The more alcohol in his system, the more and more he ranted, and the more his accent became noticable. Charlie got to where he couldn't understand him. "Uh, one moment, Shin, lemme go get someone." Shin watched him leave, confused. He shrugged it off, and began singing, for the alcohol had taken him over, because of his low tolerance level. "Should all our crimes......and stay forgot and never...brought to light! Should all our crimes stay forgot in the days of Auld Lang Syne!!" he began to sing loudly and very, well, british. "Shin! are you all right?" Shin spun around to see Touma, but just for a second before he fell off the stool. He stood up, grinning cheerfully. "Tou, what are you doin' here?" Touma frowned. "I'm jobless, remember? I come here to wait for everyone to get back. Now, tell me what's wrong? You haven't gotten drunk like this since you and Ami called it quits." Shin looked his friend in the eye. "The last time i got drunk, I didn't know why." Touma sighed, paid Charlie for Shin's drinks, and led Shin out to his car.
"You want to tell me what happened?" Touma asked when they were in the car and on their way home. Shin looked forward, with a sad expression on his face, and turned away from his cerlulean-haired friend. Touma took on a look of concern, and instead of driving home, took Shin down to the coast, where he and Shin go when they just want to hang out while everyone else is off at work. He parked the car, got out, and sat on the hood. Shin looked up, cleaned his face of the tears he had shed, and joined Touma on the hood. Touma sighed. " I think the last itme we came out here was when you and Ami broke up." He looked to his friend. "Is this about the same thing?" He was answered by silence. He pleaded wiht his words. "Please, Shin, let me know what's wrong. I want to help." Shin knew there was no point in not talking to him, Touma was the only one in his life who still cared, who wanted to help. Touma was his best friend, and he had faith that if he were to find reconciliation within anyone, it would be him. "I found out why Ami left me today." He began. "Michiru told me that she was cheating on me."
He could feel Touma shift weight on the hood of the car, something he does when he can't think of anyhting to say or is surprised. "Oh, Shin." he said with a look of pity on his face. He put his hand on Shin's shoulder. "I- I can't believe it. I am so sorry." Shin patted his hand, "Don't be. It wasn't your fault." "No, it wasn't, but it is my fault that I can't help my best friend in his time of need." Shin smiled sadly. "Look at it this way, you are more of a help than Ami was ever." Suddenly, something dawned on him. "Come to think of it, she was never really a help in anything!" Touma gave him a confused look. "What am I doing here?" Shin exclaimed more to himself than to he friend. "I'm shedding tears for a dirty bugger who didn't even have the decency to tell me that she was a backstabbing whore! What kind of a world do you live in?!"
He stood up, and turned to Touma. "Oh, thank you! You've helped me realize that I shouldn't sit around wasting my time on Ami, thinking of what could've been, or why wasn't it like this, or whatever!" Shin grabbed a surprise Touma by the shoulders. "Remind me to give you a big kiss if I ever become gay!" He started to walk over to the car, when he fell down, taking a soon-to-be large nap after his bout with the bottle. Touma smiled, "You got it." he told his unconscious comrade as he picked him up and put him in the car, then got in himself and drove home.
EAN:Awwwww, poor Shin!! Alas, what's running through Touma's head?? Chapter 6 up soon.
