A/N: Folks you're great. You had very different opinions on the last chapter and I'm happy you were so honest. This chapter was a request so obviously it's not about the picknick which everybody is waiting for. So sorry guys next time!!! THANKS FOR REVIEWING!!!! Esp. to Kaorou (Sorry to disappoint you again but definitely next time!), KittyKitty (Glad you liked it!), TheSilentSenshi (Really?! I always thought writing about real life comes always good./ Well, Yuki is Mr. Cool Guy, isn't he?!), Yamato Ishida (Short? It had about 2200 words. I thought actually for those short flics it was way too long. Yeah, stuff like this happens. My grandma is absolutely great in embarassing me in public places. But I love her anyway. I just made the situation fit for Yuki.), brokenAngelYue (whisper back: Sorry but I absolutely love Yuki & Shu together!), JadesRose (Thx, but I got all the anime episodes but in Germany and not In France that's why I also can't correct my spelling mistakes. It's not my pc so I can't download a program. We don't have one on the pc for English but I intend to correct the prior chapters once I'm back for a short x-mas vacation. About the grocery scene: Sorry but getting a caterer wouldn't fit at all. Can't see Yuki doing that. It's more like Tohma's thing to do. And weird stuff like that happens in Germany. In the US I always liked ShopRite. They had those big signs saying what you'd find in each a… What's the word again?), Eiri Izz (Aha. Name Change. Yeah, Yuki and a normal relationship? Guess Shu doesn't even know the word normal. And what would I write about then.), mirai aria (cool pen name. What does it mean? Future ???), Nyoko (Wow, you actually think I had a plot here somewhere. I'm impressed. Actually I just write what comes to my mind when I sit down at the pc. I'm curious what you think about this chapter.), AISH (Grocery shops are cool but only if you don't need to get sth. and you're just there for looking around. I hated them with a passion when I was about 14. My mom used to forget each(!) Saturday something she absolutely needed for the weekend. No idea how she managed that. So she always woke me up Saturday morning to run across the street to pick up what she needed. But since the supermarket usually closed at noon for the rest of a weekend you surely can imagine what was going on inside… I'm telling you it was not funny and know what? As soon as we moved out of town to a village with no supermarket I could sleep every Saturday until lunch. Weird, ne?!), Megamie (You think Yuki won't have to try hard? Hm, we'll see about that…)

Chapter 10: Rescue mission Shuichi

The big mansion stood proud and peaceful and any far away observer was tempted to say what a nice home it'd make and how they envied the owner Mr. Tohma Seguchi. But as Yuki stood in front of the old door he was actually tempted to high tail out of there. The blonde didn't dare to ring fearing to attract the attention of certain walking desasters including the pink bunny. Besides he doubted anyone would hear him anyway.

All anyone could hear was laughter, crashes, screeching – probably Mika, enraged shouting that'd be Maria, music and several other noises the blonde couldn't quite distingiush. Well, since his ultimativley goal was to snatch his lover away for a nice picknick, he would have to be a brave man, walk in there, defend himself against whatever crossed his path, grab the pink whirlwind and get out of there.

But as always it's easier said than done…

So Yuki gathered his courage, opened the door and carefully poked in his blonde head.

No shouting. No glomps. No one in sight.

Safe.

Yuki quickly got in, took of his shades and got out of the open in case of a sudden attack namely crazy maniacs and pink bunnies. He wouldn't mind so much a glomp from Shuichi but since you couldn't exactly say they had increased their relationship to the glomping level yet it was better to stay out of sight. Besides there was also a screeching furie a.k.a. his sister haunting the house. So better be safe than sorry.

The tall writer decided to stick to the ground levels first in search of Tohma to let him know he'd rid him of one of the pests for at least one afternoon. Figuring his friend had hidden in the library the least likely place Ryuichi and Shuichi would play their games in he strode quickly down the hall.

Suddenly a door beside him flew open and almost smashed his nose. But having lived together with Shuichi had given him quick reflexes which came often in handy like catching certain bakas or flying objects of all sorts when the baka had his five minutes.

So Yuki pressed himself up to the wall and froze. But it was only Maria who stomped past him obviously in a very nasty mood. Sure he couldn't understand a word of Spanish but he could figure so much that it wasn't very nice what she was saying. So Yuki stayed undercover until she was out of sight as to not get into the cross fire. With Maria out of sight the blonde walked quickly - WALKED, Yuki Eiri never runs - , down the corridor and got into the library without any other problem.

Like he had predicted Tohma was sitting behind a big oak desk totally oblivious to his entrance thanks to a huge head set covering both of his ears. Settling himself opposite of him he waited until the NG president would notice him but after five minutes Yuki figured he has to do something or he'll sit there all afternoon so in crossed Tohma was with the music and whatever he working on. So Yuki decided to wave his hands under the other blondes nose to gain his attention.

Bad idea!

Tohma was so startled he jumped up, in turn, the earplugs went out of the stero system and for a few seconds the room shook with some kind of foreign rock music.

After the music was turned down, hearing reestablished Yuki was able to comment. "I always thought you were a classic kind of past time person."

Tohma gave him a weak smile. "Trust me I tried but it simply wasn't strong enough. I downloaded this from the internet, it's German punk rock as far as I know. I don't understand a word but it's an interesting change AND it's louder than their music." Pointing with his thumb upwards.

Yuki looked doubtful. "How can you work with that kind of music? I almost had a heart attack and I thought Japanese rock music was bad. After listening to this music for an hour one requires therapy." Yuki shook his head. Some things concerning music was simply beyond him but the man opposite him had to know what he's talking about otherwise he wouldn't be so successful.

"Anyway, I'm here to get Shu of your neck at least for today."

Tohma beamed at him. "Thank you Yuki. I'm sure I can convince Ryuichi to settle down for the afternoon then. I just have to tell him Kumagoro needs a nap. I'm sure he'll join his friend."

Yuki shrugged. "Whatever. Just let's avoid Mika. I could hear her shrieking as soon as I got out of the car. Jesus."

"I totally agree. Unfortunately she's up there with them. Trying to keep the chaos to a minimum. Absolutely in vain if you ask me. But well women..." Tohma sighed deeply.

Yuki gave his friend a pitying look. 'I know for a reason why I prefer Shu. Better him than one of Mika's species.' A shudder ran down his back.

"You okay there?" Tohma glanced at him while walking back to the entrance hall.

Yuki nodded. "Just had some sort of nightmarish vision."

Tohma nodded guessing what the tall blonde had been thinking about and turned to walk up the stairs. There they met Monique the French house maid who ignored them both muttering in their mother tongue.

"Terrible. Pourquoi je fais les lits? Une seconde plus tard ils sont encore en disordre." She descended the stairs.

Tohma only shrugged and after a few mintutes one could hear that they were coming closer to the eye of the tornado. Peeking carefully around the corner they could see Mika yelling at Ryuichi – probably to turn the music down, stop jumping on the couch and throwiong party decorations around – but Ryuichi in turn was to busy singing along the song with Shuichi who stood on the table dancing.

Yuki raised an eye at that. Hell, if the kid could do something it was singing and dancing well beside certain other things…

But before he could think any further there was a flash and he was glomped by Ryiuchi who had spotted him first. Right now he was screaming at him trying to overtune the music. Not that it worked beside making Yuki deaf for a second time in a row. Behind Ryiuchi was a glowering Shuichi. 'Uh oh, looks like my lover doesn't like what he sees.' Yuki noted with a hint of satisfaction in the back of his mind.

With a few paces Shuichi stood behind Ryuichi picked him up like a kitten to let him fall onto the floor before giving Yuki a dazzling smile. Without a glance to the others Shuichi took Yuki's arm and pulled him out of the house without saying another word but since when does true love needs words any way….

Actually I don't have to say anything. Just that I absolutely love your reviews and that next chapter will be about the picknick. Yay, go Eiri, go!!!
