I started this Christmas Eve and didn't finish it until many weeks later(Jan22), I went away, but this is just a one shot I wrote out of boredom and then I thought of the rest of it in the car. Enjoy, who knows, it just may be longer then I originally planned...

Disclaimer: If I did, this would be in Japanese, it would be a doujinshi, and I'd be rich.

Track 1: The Finale

I awoke to a cold bed wondering where my lover was to be found. From the feel of the bed, he'd been gone for some time, I just hoped he was still in the apartment. I flung off the quilt he'd lain over me to keep me warm and I padded out of our bed room and into the kitchen. As I walked, the halls didn't look as vibrant to me as they normally did, but I just chalked it up to my still being half asleep.

I made my way to the living room and I saw Yuki laying down with his face in his arms. I went over to him to find out what had happened. Kneeling next to him I asked, "Yuki, what's wrong? Why are you just laying there?"

Shaking him in annoyance to his lack of response I tried again to get his attention buy rocking him, but my hand went right through his body. "WHAT THE HELL?!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?" I asked to nobody in particular spazing when I removed my hand from somewhere under Yukis' shoulder.

"You're de~ad," a feminine sounding, bodiless voice said from somewhere behind me.

"Dead?" I asked laughing, "He-heh, who are you and what are you talking about?" I asked looking around trying to find whomever it was trying to scare me.

"You died in you sleep, Shuichi-kun," the voice replied as the body of a brown haired girl appeared. She was wearing a black sleeveless turtle neck and black jeans and boots. At her hips were twin blades, not much longer then her lower arms length. Her hair was pulled back, into a pony tail and her bangs rested just above her eyes.

"Who the hell are you," I asked turning around to look at the short floating girls behind me.

"You can call me Adeliae Susan-chan," Susan said saluting as she glided over and sitting on my head. "Or Su-chan for sho~rt." she said sounding hyper, and bubbly.

"Hai, Su-chan," I said forgetting I should have been depressed replying to her positive attitude. "Yuki, look who's here," I said forgetting that Yuki couldn't see me and that my hands went through his body, rather then stopping on his body. Remembering I was dead I slumped my shoulders slump in depression. "Su-chan, how did I die?"

"I hate this part of the job the most," she mumbled under her breath, not sounding as bubly happy as she was before. "Shuichi-san, your heart has been over worked and stressed until it couldn't take it any more and it stopped."

"How could that have happened?" I asked not really believing what had happened. "Wouldn't Yuki-kun have taken me to the hospital if something had happened?"

"Remember your last check up, about a month ago?" Susan asked still feeling bad about having to do this, but it was better then seeing the bored ghosts drifting around in the after life like some of her co-workers had to.

"Yup, I do," I replied then thinking about how nice Yuki had been after that.

"Well, the weekend after that appointment Giro-sensei called and told Yuki- san that you were terribly sick and that there was nothing that could be done this late." Susan continued drifting off of my head and pulling me to the other couch. "It was that weekend that Yuki-san was much nicer to you, right Shuichi-kun?"

"Yeah, he was," I replied remorsefully at her information. "He took me dancing, we went to the beach for a few days. I sang at the community center volunteer concert, and he was there, just for me. We went out to dinner a few times and didn't call me a baka, ten times an hour, only five." I said smiling a bittersweet smile at the last one. "And when we were together, alone, he was nice and gentle, most of the time."

Susan nodded her head, listening to everything that had gone on. "It sounds like these past weeks were nice," she said looking up at me.

"Uh-huh, but anyway, what killed me?" I asked wondering what was so bad that I couldn't have been helped. "And who are you?"

Sighing and looking down Susan replied, "You died from Acute Cardiovascular Syndrome, your heart has ben working to hard to perform at it's usual pace and it slowly shut down, stopping your blood flow." looking up form the arm of the couch she continued, "Giro-sensei told Yuki-san about it and that you would go with no pain. He also said that it would be best if you weren't to know because then you'd stress over it and you wouldn't enjoy your time as much as you did." she said answering my first question and waiting for me to nod in understanding. "Like I said, I'm Adeliae Susan, and my job is to calm down dead souls and to get them ready to journey over, or to at least give them good anchorage to this world. I guess you can call me Death Guide, and I'm the most genial of guides, until I get tired of dead people, then I'm a true bitch. I am also one of the best, so stay on my good side and you'll do fine." And I'll get the raise I want so I won't have as many field jobs.

"Oh," I said looking at my chest and closing my eyes. After thinking over what Susan had told me I started crying, "WWAAHHHH!"

Covering her ears she glared at me, "Shuichi, shut the hell up and listen to me. I still have a bit more to tell you," waiting for me to register what she'd just said I stopped crying and looked down at her, tears still falling from my eyes as I thought about how I'd never be able to sing ever again. How I'd never be able to sleep with Yuki ever again, how I wouldn't be able to sing with Ryuichi-kun again, never play with Hiro and Suguru.

"Ya done yet?" she asked annoyed. I nodded my head and listened to what she had to say next. "Your body is still here and Yuki hasn't told anybody that you died yet. But he did tell them what the doctor had told him so they already know that you were about to die, they just had to act as if everything was alright."

"Hiro knew, and he didn't tell me" I stated a bit annoyed, because he told me everything. "That bastard! I told him everything that went on between my and Yuki, how da-"

*BWACK* "Didn't I just tell you to shut the hell up?" she asked after smacking me on the head. Settling back on the couch she continued, again, "like I was saying you stupid buffoon, every body knew so don't feel to bad for them you have about a week until they bury you. After you're buried you can either stay here to haunt this apartment and your friends' lives, or you can go to the after life."

"How do I do that?" I asked trying to fully grasp the situation. "I mean, how do I stay here?"

"All you really have to do is tell Yuki and everybody else in their dreams that you will always be here for them and then you'll have a good anchor to this world so after your body is buried, they all know you're still with them, and so you *will* still be with them.." Susan said as if it was really easy. "Tonight and for the rest of this week you'll have to go to every bodies' dreams, but most importantly you need to get into Yuki's dream."

"Why his?" I asked listening intently on what she was saying.

"His is most important because you're the most important person in his life, stupid. If you don't make contact with him then his life with be really depressing if he doesn't have anybody who's there for him, just for him, and he just might kill himself, and that wouldn't be a pretty picture. I've seen that happen to other people... damn were those hard cases." Susan said trailing off down memory lane after trying to explain. "Ever since he met you Yuki has been surrounded by your presence. Almost everything he's done since then has been just for you, as he as the most important person in your life, you were the most important in his.

"What will happen after everybody dies. Will I still be here if my spirit has no anchor to this plane?"

"Nah," she said brushing away the comment. "As each person dies, you spirit will leave, the amount is equal to their importance. When Yuki-kun dies most of your spirit will leave. "Hiroshi-kun and Ryuichi-kun are about equal after him and then more of you will leave. "Tohma-kun and Mika-san will take some, and so will your sister. Noriko-chan, Suguru-kun K-san, and Sakano-san will end it." counting off the people as she talked Susan concluded that she'd counted everybody that was important.

"Wow, I never knew I was important to that many people," I said a little awed. "Well, what do I do until tonight?" I asked because I now knew what I need to do, I just didn't have anything to do until then.

"Ano..." Susan said trying to think of what else she had to tell him. "Well, first you need to get dressed. Then-"

"An-" I started before Su-chan cut me off.

"Shut up," she ordered holding up a finger to shut him up. "Will you let me finish a damned sentence? Anyway, you get dressed, and then you should just hang around here to stay with Yuki-kun. I think he senses you, your spirit, in a sense, and you should stay to comfort him." stopping to hear his question she waited. And waited. "Uh, Shu-chan, what were you going to ask? Why aren't you talking?"

"Because every time I tried to talk, you shut me up." I replied honestly. "Ow, what was that for? And how come I can feel pain and sit on the couch, but I go through Yuki when I try to touch him?" I asked rubbing my finger where she'd stabbed me with one of her blades.

"That was for being stupid, Stupid," she said sheathing her weapon. "You can feel pain because were on the same plane, it's a spiritual earth plane. And you can sit on the couch and touch stuff, expect Yuki-kun, and other living objects because they're still using there spirits. You're sitting on the spirit of the couch, in a sense. Everything has two planes, kind of, a living plane, and a spiritual plane, or a dead one." Susan said trying to explain. "It's really complicated. But I think that will suffice, unless you want me to try again? "She asked, while she threatened me by drawing her blade out a little.

"No, no, no, Su-chan, that was a wonderful explanation. I think I'll go get dressed now," I said jumping up and running back to the bedroom. I walked in and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw myself. I looked as if I was sleeping, still curled on my side with the blankets on my shoulders. I stared at my self and I thought wow, I look so peaceful, but lonely. Something's missing... and at that thought I heard muffled foot steps coming down the hall. There was Yuki, he looked tired and worn, but he was still as gorgeous as ever. I watched as he stopped and looked at me, from his side of the bed, and he laid down, right next to me, as if I still alive. He nestled beside me and pulled my body flush against his, like he always did. That's right... I thought looking at him and myself.

"Shuichi, I love you, and I feel horrible about never saying that enough to you during our short time together." he said, his face hidden from me by my wild, slept on, pink hair. His hands were wrapped around my lifeless form and he spoke. "I remember the first might I met you, you were so stupid, but intriguing at the same time. You were so depressed after I told you your song was crap, and then there was the second time I saw you, in the rain. I only stopped because I was amazed that you were there, you'd been in my thoughts for hours. I was thinking, I wonder what that pink haired boy is doing? I wonder if his other songs are also crap? Will I ever hear him sing? And you know, I have heard you sing, I've heard you sing wonderfully," he said as he fell asleep from fatigue.

Ohh, Yuki is sooo sweet! Just like he was after he let me move in with him for a week, I wish I wasn't dead I thought as I gave Yuki a sweet little kiss, when our lips touched, I could swear I felt him return the soft kiss, I backed away so I could do my job. So I could stay, on earth for a while longer, so Yuki wouldn't be alone...

Yo! I hope you enjoyed this teaser, and sorry it's shorter then my usual work, but I still have a lot of stuff going on right now. It does appear that this story will be longer then I did plan, but don't worry, I'll have something else soon. It will probably be before March, I wish it was sooner, but Mid-terms and Science Fair are coming up so I won't b able to write. Hope you enjoyed my other Gravitation fic, "The Saddest Song I Never Sang", if you haven't, read it. and no, this fic has absolutely nothing to do with that one, even though there are deaths, I don't Yuki to be as morbid as Shuichi was. Enjoy, and Watch out, I'll have something else posted real soon! I have a few other fics on the back burner of my computer and my mind. I have FAKE fic I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about writing a Gravitation song-fic and I've started writing an Alice 19th fic that I think will work out really well after I re-read and edit it a bit, at the moment some stuff doesn't completely work out at the moment, but I hope I'll get them fixed, finished and posted soon.

B.T. ^_^ \/
