A/N: Thanks for reviewing goes to Tokichan (*hug4you*sorry-4-not-knowing-that-you're-of-course-a-girl, was probably in 'Yuki mood' and very insensitive. Sorry!!! @.@), heather (I try!), SharonToggle (Gah, poor Tohma. I'm putting him in a lot of stressful situations. I think he needs a vacation soon.), Zacarane (I guess Yuki has to suffer some more. Although right now I rather pity Tohma. ^_^), Kaouru (Thankyouthankyouthankyou), Destiny (yeah, you're right there is indeed a Ranma episode like that. It was very funny. Now I yearn to read Ranma fiction again. And don't worry Shuichi won't fall for another guy. That wouldn't fit.)

Chapter 4: Explanations

« Now that was definetely weird. »

Propped up on his pillows with his arms crossed comfortably behind his head a still quite pale looking Shuichi was contemplating what had just transpired a few moments ago. He had just been peacefully slumbering in his bed when something awoke him. First he had thought that annoying head nurse was back fussing over him. He didn't really think it was necessary to touch and worry over him constantly. She was was probably the female Sakano version. Heaven forbid something like that.

Anyway, boy was he in for a surprise when he opened his eyes. At first he had thought he was still dreaming since the color of those eyes starring back at him was sure non-existing or maybe the sun was playing tricks on him but there was really sitting a tall blonde man next to him studying him carefully with those amazing amber colored eyes. Something in the back of his head reminded him that the unknown guy had been rather one of the handsome kind of sort and Shuichi let out a silly grin. Yeah, the guy had been definetely eye candy. That's what his sister would have said in a situation like this.

Oh and then he had actually smiled back at him. He felt kinda funny then as if he had been granted to see something like a secret. Probably he was still mushy from the pain killers but the guy really looked even more beautiful than before if that was even possible. Hm, are men even supposed to be beautiful?

Waitasec, what was he doing here anyway? Dreaming about some unknown guy like a silly school girl. Geez, Hiro was right he definetely needed a girl friend. Now he started lusting after guys even if they were good looking he was straight and liked girls. That must have been a rather hard crash on whatever he had fallen on anyway.

But anyway something he had said must have had disturbing to the blonde since after that he practically flew out of the room.

Unfortunately.

The blonde had looked horrified and truly upset. Shuichi had and still felt guilty for causing such pain to the stranger although he had no idea what he had done. It was indeed disappointing he would have liked talking to him but oh well it was him who left in such a hurry. Not that he could leave his room anyway with that scary nurse creeping around.

But maybe Tohma could at least give him some info. Where was he anyway? Shouldn't he come and check on him. I mean hey there he is his number one band and he doesn't even make sure his investment is still in one piece.

Right on cue Tohma opened the door and entered with a hesitant smile on his lips. He really didn't understand why it was always him who had to do the "dirty" work. Hell, he was the chef of NG and now he was stuck again explaining something unexplainable. Hopefully this chat would go more smoothly than the one with Yuki.

The pink haired singer looked a bit too eager for him and he feared Shuichi was cooking something up. He hadn't even taken a seat which Yuki had vacated not even an half hour ago as Shuichi started bombarding him with questions and what do you think about whom?

"Seguchi-san, did you know the tall man who has been visiting me before? It was kinda funny you know. I woke up, he was there, I smile, he smiles, I think whoa that looks nice but then I have to open my mouth and boy he looked like he'd seen a ghost and whosh he was outta here." Shuichi babbled that in one go and was left breathless for a moment.

Tohma managed to regain his wits and launched into action before Shuichi would start rambling again. God, he didn't know how someone could deal with this kid 24-7. Maybe he should give Sakano a bonus. He freaking deserved it being able to stand this kid all the time. Okay well he wasn't actually a kid but then if Shindou Shuichi wasn't a kid what should he called a certain no-to-be-named-here singer? Or better how had he survived it with his brain intact? But back to the matter on hand.

"You see Shindou-san that was exactly what I wanted to talk to you about." Tohma sighed. Well, here we go. He had Shuichi's undivided attention. "Well, you see that man who just left is the one you actually know but unfortunately don't remember him anymore which he hadn't known which made him rather upset in turn and now he left although it would have been much better if he had stayed since we need him to talk to you so you can get your memory back."

Tohma looked at the singer hoping he made himself understood. Dealing with Eiri and Shuichi were getting to his nerves ever since the New York incident. The pink haired youth in the bed looked slightly dazed but it might have been as well from the medication.

Shuichi blinked. "Ah yeah, okay so you're saying that I don't remember that guy anymore meaning I should knew him from before? So that fall messed up my brain?" Shuichi looked slightly alarmed.

Tohma hurried to explain. "Don't worry your brain is fine at least I hope so." Shuichi frowned. "And yes, you kinda do know this guy very good since you see you got through a lot of stuff together and were kinda close." Shuichi looked clueless. "Or rather very very close. Well, you did a lot of things together, lived together, he's probably the most important person to you."

Tohma was giving weird hand signs to support his explanation but obviously Shuichi didn't get his point and instead more or less helpfully added.

"Like a best friend?"

Tohma starred at him but sighed defeated. "Yeah, something LIKE friends. Just a little bit more closer." He mumbled under his breath but Shuichi wasn't listening anymore and seemed lost in thought.

Shuichi had a hard time understanding what was going on. I mean what would you think when you wake up to a gorgeous guy beside you who walks out on you as soon as you open your mouth but still manages to making you question your gender preferences in barely five minutes then you learn that you suffer from memory loss concerning this specific person the next and to top of it all he had been his best friend? And besides wasn't Hiro supposed to be his best friend?

Shuichi's head was turning. Tohma who could sense the singers confusion decided to leave Shuichi to give him time to let the news sink in. He walked to the door. But before he could even open the door Shuichi called out.

"Tohma, it isn't possible that a bumb to the head ah well can change your preference eh well you know…?"

Tohma starred at him for while struggeling to keep a straight face.

"You never know but don't worry I have a feeling everything will work out just fine." He smiled and left the room with a smile on his face.    

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

Sorry, but I don't really like how this chapter turned out. For one thing I prefer writing from Yuki's POV since I'm more in a mood like that and I couldn't write this chapter in one go. My kids are sick and I couldn't really concentrate on writing. I hope it doesn't sound too strained. Hope I'll manage the next chapter better.
