Chapter 04: "I promise."
"Tsumetai toki ga yume wo furaseru kono te no naka wo surinukete…" Shuichi sang through the mike wholeheartedly. This is their song. His and Yuki's. The song that brought them together...twice. It means a lot to Shuichi and perhaps…or maybe Yuki too. Shuichi was not sure. However, he was certain that he love this song more than any other composition he had done before. In fact, he regards it as the best.
So were Hiro and Fujisaki, playing beside Shuichi all this while. They could always feel a surge of passion and drive enveloping them whenever the trio played this song. Perhaps it was because of this song that Bad Luck was saved from being disbanded…that they found out that there was more than what they thought was music…that they realized music was the bond of friendship and love…
The three teenagers were performing live now…maybe and maybe not…for the last time… Soon, Shuichi would announce the temporary…or permanent…break up of Bad Luck right when they were at the peak of their popularity.
Thinking of what he was going to say later, Shuichi broke down as he continued to sing…in a most quivering voice… His dreams, the years of hoping and longing ever since he came into contact with Sakuma Ryuichi and the success and joy he was going to enjoy were shattering now in his mind. This is it. This is the end of Bad Luck.
// Flashback //
"Hiro…Fujisaki…Sakano-san…and K…" Shindou Shuichi greeted his fellow colleagues in a trembling voice. "I…I…"
"Shuichi…we will be winding up Bad Luck soon…" Hiro interrupted rudely. He knew what Shuichi was going to say. He predicted it. There was no need for Shuichi to be in turmoil, hurting and agitating himself. This is Hiro. He could never bear to see his best friend in a painful state of affliction.
Surprised and even more when noticing the rest were as calm and silent as Hiro was, Shuichi could only get weak in the knees, fell down and cry. They knew everything and yet they did not blame him for it. It was, of course, not his fault, but Shuichi was trapped with his own guilt…Bad Luck had to end because of him…because of his stupid body that was deteriorating…
"Shuichi…it's not your fault…" Hiro gave a warm comforting embrace to Shuichi, like he always does. Fujisaki could only look away, praying hard in his heart. Sakano-san patted Shuichi's back as he sobbed. K, for the first time, pointed at Shuichi with a handkerchief instead of a gun…
//End of Flashback//
With the guitar part ended with a silent note, the spotlight shut down and relights moments later upon Bad Luck. The fans screamed upon seeing their idols…
"SHUIIIIIIIIICHIIIIIIIIIII~~~~!" … "HIIIIIIROOOOOOOOOO~~~"…"SUUUUGUUUURUUUU~~~!!!"
There must be more than a million fans out there. Their popularity had been soaring ever since the relationship between Shuichi and Yuki was let out of the bag.
Shuichi stepped out among the three towards the mike in front of them slowly…tiredly…
"Minna-san…"Shuichi trembled as he spoke.

"And so Shindou Shuichi announced the break up of Bad Luck at their last stop of their all-Japan tour, leaving fangirls in disappointment. Why the end of Bad Luck now? Why the end at the peak of their popularity? Why---"
The TV screen faded out as Yuki Eiri pressed the "OFF" button on the remote with much annoyance. He was in no mood now, getting up, walking towards the window from the crouch. Shuichi was crying…again…right in the middle of sex.
Shit, I should have shut it off…
It had been 3 days since Shuichi made the announcement. Bad Luck ends now. However, the media did not want to let go of Bad Luck…Shuichi to be specific. The paparazzi want to know why and thus creating thousands of rumors all over Japan to explain for this.
"Did you break up with Yuki Eiri-sensei?" "Was it because of Yuki Eiri sensei?" "Was it something to do with Yuki Eiri sensei?"
Fuck those reports. Fuck them all.
Shuichi got up, wrapped his hands around Yuki's waist and rest his body weight on Yuki's back. "Gomen…*sob*you need a cigarette now?"
"No…"
"You are angry?"
"No…"
"I know you are…"
"No…I am not…" Eiri was not angry. He was just…irritated.
It had being 2 weeks since Eiri knew about Shuichi's tumor. He did not really have a good talk with Shuichi after that. Shuichi was busy with the scheduled tour.
"Shuichi…"
"Um…"Shuichi felt Yuki turn around and his smooth hands gently cupping his cheeks. He blushed as usual. He liked it always to have Yuki do that to him…it is the only gently action Yuki would do to Shuichi…most of the times, Yuki treats him with an unfeeling attitude, even during sex.
"Go…" Yuki hide his eyes away from Shuichi.
"Yuki…?"
"Go…go for the operation…"
"…No…I told you already…I won't…" Shuichi was going to break down again. In the nick to time, Yuki pulled Shuichi into his embrace to stop that.
"Its…its not enough…Shuichi…"
"…I don't want Yuki…I don't want to shorten…" Shuichi ignored what Yuki said.
"But six months isn't enough, Shuichi! I don't want to have you for only six more months!!" Yuki raised his voice just a little but it was enough to make Shuichi jumped.
"Six months is not enough, Shuichi…I am not satisfied…I want…I want more. I want to hold you like this in future, not only for six more months. Do you understand?" Yuki hugged Shuichi ever tighter.
"Yu…ki…" Shuichi cried finally on Yuki's chest. Six months is not enough for Shuichi too. He wants to make breakfast for Yuki for more than six months. He wants to wake Yuki up in the afternoon, biting his ear for more than six months. He wants to be teased with lust during sex by Yuki for more than six months. He wants to have small quarrels with Yuki for more that six months. He wants…so much more too.
"Go for the operation, Shuichi. Even it's a 50-50 odds, you…we've got to go for it." Yuki pointed his eyes into Shuichi's. They were getting warmer. Yuki's golden eyes were getting warmer ever since Shuichi told him about the tumor. They were never so before.
"But…Yuki…I am afraid…"
"Remember the pact you made to me in New York? You said you would find me wherever I am, dead or alive. Remember?"
Shuichi nodded.
"I…I will…"
"Yuki…"
"I will find you too. No matter where you are, dead or alive. I will find you too, Shuichi. I promise."

"I see…so Shindou-san got a tumor…Thank you…Yes…Thank you…Ja, mata."
Seguchi Tohma put down the phone in his office, turned his armchair around facing the night scenery of Tokyo in front of him. He could see Tokyo Tower most clearly from the 42nd floor office. It was shimmering…in solitude…
"Eiri-san…" The N-G Corporation's president whispered before getting up. He left his office, leaving the lights on until he returns back next morning…
