IMPORTANT!!! - Author's note: Hi! Sorry for taking so long to post up this chapter but I have been on vacation for 2 months. I went to Japan, Hong Kong, Canton, and Beijing. It was cool! Well I hope this chapter is good enough to make up for it. Also I'm thinking about postponing my Yami no Matsuei fic "Secret Revealed" and finish this fic first. What do you think? Should I postpone or work on both fic at once? I don't really mind. Also I am thinking of stop editing my fic. Takes too long. But if anyone would like to correct it please do so and send it back to me and I will gladly repost the chapters up. Arigatou!

Shining Collection
Shuichi smiled happily as he enjoy is morning showers. It has been a week since Yuki's redemption. Though Yuki opened up more and smiled more he still act the same. Shuichi's smile dropped a bit. He have confess his love to Yuki but Yuki never respond to it. He don't really mind because he knows Yuki do love him. But it would be nice to hear it from Yuki.
Shuichi snapped out of his musing when he heard the doorbell. Knowing Yuki is asleep and hates to be woken up when not needed, Shuichi hastily wrap himself with a large towel and hurried to the door. Shuichi open the door to reveal a well dressed blond.
Shuichi look at the male curiously. "Ohayo. How can I help you?"
The blonde narrowed his eyes at Shuichi. "Who are you and where is Eiri-san?"
Shuichi blinked at the harsh tone. He wonder if Yuki did something to the blonde. (AH: *sweatdrop* Poor innocent, simple-minded Shu-chan.) "Ore wa Shindou Shuichi desu. Yuki is..."
"Right here." a voice interrupted. Surprised, Shuichi look back to see Yuki looming behind him.
"Yuki! You're awake!"
Yuki snorted. "No kidding," Yuki said sarcastically. Shuichi pouted. Yuki ignored him and turn back to the blonde that is waiting impatiently in the doorway. "Hello Tohma. What brings you here so early in the morning?"
Shuichi step back as Tohma brush past him to go in the apartment. Offended by the behavior, Shuichi started to make faces behind Tohma's back. Shuichi stopped when Yuki gave him a warning look. After closing the door Shuichi went to sit next to Yuki in the living room.
Tohma glared at Shuichi for sitting so close to Yuki. He frowned slightly at Shuichi's state of dressing. Did Yuki invited another whore to his house? A pretty bad one too. The whore have a chest as flat as a board from what he can see with the towel covering it. "Eiri-san, who is this little girl and what is she doing here?!"
Shuichi blushed in anger and embarrassment. "For your information I am a guy and I am not little, I am nineteen!"
Tohma is taken back. He stare at Shuichi disbelievingly. "You are a boy?"
Shuichi look like he is going to pounce at Tohma any second now. Yuki put a hand on Shuichi's shoulder to calm him down. Feeling Yuki's touch, Shuichi relaxes. Tohma look surprised at the un-Yuki-like gesture.
"He is a 'man' alright," Yuki smirked as he trail his hand down Shuichi's leg, "definitely a 'man'."
Shuichi blushed furiously. Tohma coughed at the blunt hint.
"He is also my angel." Yuki said seriously as he wrap his arm around Shuichi's waist and pull him onto his lap.
"Yuki..." Shuichi swell up with emotions. This was the closest Yuki got to confessing his love for him. Not knowing what to say he just put his arm over Yuki's. He look up at Yuki, hoping he will understand. Yuki look back down at Shuichi with a slight smile. Yuki tighten his hole of Shuichi.
Realization dawned onto Tohma, the meaning not going past him. Relief swept through Tohma. Even though he is still a bit worried about the... unusual relationship but as long as Eiri is happy he is happy. And the kid seems to make Eiri happy.
Silence filled the air as Yuki and Shuichi continue to stare at each other with lovey-dovey eyes. Hearts was flying everywhere. (AN: This will never happen in the real Gravitation but hey! This is my fic. Yuki will be lovey-dovey for my Shu-chan!) Tohma sweatdrop as they continue to ignore him, forgetting that he was even here. Tohma cough to get their attention. No response. Tohma tried another tactic. "Um... Eiri-san...." Still no response. Annoyed, Tohma spoke louder. "Eiri-san." Nothing. Ticked off, Tohma lost his patience. "E-I-R-I-SAN!!!"
Yuki blinked and look at Tohma blanked as if just realizing he was here. "Oh, Tohma, you're still here...do you need something?"
Tohma look back at Yuki with his normal smiling face. (AH: scary how he can switch faces so easily.) "In the matter of fact, yes I do. I came over today to ask you if you decided to go to the party tomorrow. I know you dislike social events but and usually I won't force you to go but this time I must insist..."
"Tohma." Yuki cut in. Tohma's nagging is as worst as Shuichi's constant talking and both of them give him the worst headache. "I'm going."
Tohma blinked in surprise. "You are?
Yuki grunt in response. "But I need you to do something for me in return."
Intrigue and curious, Tohma lean forward in anticipation. "What is it?"
Yuki glance at Shuichi before motioning Tohma to go to his study room. Like a faithful and loyal puppy, Shuichi trail behind as he follow them to the study.
"No, you stay out here." command Yuki as he push Shuichi back out and slam the door shut.
Hurt, Shuichi start wailing. "Yuki! Yuki! Naze!? Why can't I come in? Yuki! Yu..." Shuichi stop in mid-wail as the door open and Tohma walk out.
"Eiri-san, I promise I will make sure your plan will come out well." A grunt was Yuki's response.
Walking past a mouth-opened Shuichi, Tohma whispered to Shuichi "Don't you dare hurt Eiri-san or I will hunt you down." Opening the door, Tohma glance back.
"I'll show myself out. I know you have things to do." Tohma smirk before closing the door.
Shuichi would have continue to stand in the hall with only a towel on (AN: *drool* hentai grin) if Yuki didn't interrupt this display of ... a form of... um... idoiticy.
"Baka, are you just going to stand around all day. We have to buy you some decent clothes.."
Shuichi blinked, coming back to the world of reality. "Shopping? We don't need to buy clothes. I can get some with the snap of my fingers."
Yuki smiled wickedly. "No no. We are going shopping. I want you to model everything for me, from your underwear to your outerwear."
Shuichi blushed furiously. Yuki smirked widen.
"I think we should start from taking your measurement. Here, let me help you."
Yuki start to take off Shuichi's clothes while pushing him back into the bedroom. Shuichi sputter in protest.
"Yu... Yuki! What are you doing! Yuki!..."
"Urusai. You talk too much."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Sheesh! The people next door is at it again!" an old man exclaimed.
"Just turn the radio's volume up dear." said an elderly woman in the kitchen.
"Feh! To drown them out I have to be deaf!" grumble the old man. The old man start to mumble about young people these day and how there hormones are on twenty-four hours a day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Yu~ki! These clothes are uncomfortable!"
"Get use to it. I did."
Shuichi pulled the collar of his new white silk shirt. He was wearing a white suit with matching white shoes. His magenta hair was neater than usual. Pouting, Shuichi look at Yuki who was looking good in his navy silk shirt and black suit with matching shoes. He still wore the same "cool" expression. His was interrupted when a familiar broke in.
"Eiri-san. Shindou-san."
Yuki and Shuichi turned to see Tohma approaching them with another male.
"Tohma." Yuki reply curtly.
"Konbanwa Seguichi-san." Shuichi said politely, looking curiously at the person next to him that resembles him. He seems to have an air of innocence around him.
As if sensing Shuichi's curiosity Tohma decided introduced the male next to him. "Minna-san, this is Sakuma Ryuichi, the guest of honor of this party. He also is the vocalist of my band. Ryuichi, this is my friend Yuki Eiri and his koibito Shindou Shuichi." Tohma said, gesturing the respective party.
"Ohayo Yuki-san, Shindou-san!" Ryuichi chirped. He took out a pink bunny out of nowhere and way its hand at them. "Kumagorou said Hi too!"
Yuki grunt out a greeting as he eyes Ryuichi warily.
"Ohayo Sakuma-san! Ohayo Kumagorou~chan!" Shuichi smiled at Ryuichi and shook Kumagorou's hand.
Ryuichi's eyes brightens. He chibified and glomps onto Shuichi. Surprised, Shuichi started to blush. Yuki glared.
"You are soooo nice Shu-chan! Everyone one is always to rude! They always ignore Kumagorou! Since you were nice to Kuma-chan I let you call me Ryu-chan!"
Shuichi sweatdropped. "Eto... Sakuma-san..."
"Ryuichi frowned. Pouting, he tugged Shuichi's arm in annoyance. "Iya! No Sakuma! Ryu-chan, Ryu-chan!"
Shuichi couldn't help but smile at Ryuichi's childish manner. "Hai, Ryu-chan it is! Arigatou."
Tohma cleared his throat. "Ryuichi, Shindou-san, can you excuse Eiri-san and I for a second?"
"Demo..." Ryuichi and Shuichi whined, not wanting to miss out on a secret.
"I think I saw a buffet table full of sweet over there." said Tohma, who was pointing to the direction of the buffet table.
"SWEETS!!!!!!"
The chibified duo ran to the buffet table at top speed, knocking everyone out of the way. Tohma chuckle in amusement at the dou's tatics. Turning to Yuki he smile knowingly.
"If you glare at Ryuichi any longer he will turn to vapor."
Yuki redirect his glare to Tohma. "He was too intimating. And that was just their first meeting!"
Tohma smirked. "My, my. Aren't we jealous here. How unlike you."
Yuki scowled and intensified his death glare. Tohma wave it off with a laugh. Yuki's scowl deepen.
"Why are you still here Tohma?"
"I just want to tell you that I have done what you asked for. All the arrangements are set." Tohma reached for his pocket and took out a white box. He hand it over to Yuki. Yuki took it and stare at it for a while. Looking up Yuki smiled lightly.
"Arigatou, Tohma."
Tohma blinked in surprise. It have been a long time since Yuki said any thankful words to him. Maybe the relationship is not as bad as he first thought. Recovering, Tohma smiled back.
"Eiri-san you've really changed. I hope this happiness will always stay with you."
Yuki tighten his grip on the box. He look at the direction Shuichi is in.
"I hope so too."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryuichi and Shuichi devoured the sweets in a rapid pace, delighted. Everyone around them stared at the two, sweatdropping. Shuichi was oblivious to it all until someone interrupt him from his... uh eating.
"Shu-chan."
""Hmmm?" Shuichi look at Ryuichi in curiosity, still stuffing his face with sweets. The aura around Ryuichi changed, Shuichi noted.
"Are you going to leave Yuki-san?"
Shuichi choked on his sweets, startled at the unexpected question. Shuichi cough until he could breathe again. Shuichi stare at Ryuichi in surprise.
"Na...Nani?"
"I know this is none of my business. It is just that Tohma said Yuki-san have never been happier then when he is with you. He know Yuki-san will break if you leave him. Tohma was happy when he saw Yuki-san so happy. Tohma will be sad if Yuki-san is sad."
Ryuichi look at Shuichi intensively. "I don't want Tohma to be sad. In order to prevent that Yuki-san have to be happy. Will you leave Yuki-san, break him?"
Shuichi stare at Ryuichi, eyes wide. He was at a loss of words. Will he leave Yuki? He never thought of that. Luckily he was save from answering.
"RYUICHI! WE NEED TO PREPARE! GET UP HERE!" shouted a feminine voice.
Ryuichi look at the stage where a purple hair woman was waving. Ryuichi wave back cheerfully. Turning back to Shuichi he smiled happily. Shuichi was relieve that Ryuichi reverted back to his childish form.
"I have to go now Shu-chan. Have fun!"
Ryuichi wave Kumagorou hand as if saying bye before bouncing off to the stage. Shuichi stare after him, his words still ringing in his head.
"He's right you know."
Shuichi jumped in surprise. Turing he was the source of the familiar voice.
"Hiro! Suguru!" Shuichi jumped at them, giving them a hug. "What are you doing here?"
The two male returned the hug before pulling Shuichi back. The regard to Shuichi sadly.
"Shuichi, you know you have to leave Yuki Eiri soon and can't see him again. That is why one of our rules was to not fall in love with our assignment. Why did you start a relationship with Yuki-san knowing it can't continue forever? Both of you are going to get hurt in the end." said the male with long scarlet hair.
"Hiro..."
"He is right you know. You should end it now before both of you get too into the relationship and get more hurt." said the male with short green hair.
"Suguru..."
Shuichi look at them sadly. "It's too late. I love him too much. I... I can't leave him."
Hiro and Suguru look at each other as if communicating with each other through their eyes. Suddenly Hiro sigh. "Shuichi do you know why we are here?"
Shuichi shook his head no. "I was wondering why you guys are here. Should you be be in heaven?"
Hiro hug Shuichi suddenly. Confused Shuichi hug back. "Hiro?"
"I'm sorry Shuichi. We can here to tell you that your mission is over. You are due back to headquarter tomorrow at 11:59 P.M. Here is where they will pick you up."
Pulling away Hiro took a piece of paper out of his pocket and hand it to Shuichi. Shuichi took it at stare at it blackly. Shuichi look back up at his friends. "I have to leave... tomorrow?"
Hiro and Suguru nod sadly. Shuichi let all this sink in. Pain and sadness tug Shuichi's heart. It took all his will power not to break down right then.
"Shuichi."
Shuichi froze when he heard Yuki's voice. Quickly he stuff the paper into his pocket. He tried to compose himself and manage a smile. Turning to Yuki he glomp onto Yuki's arm. "Yuki! You finished talking to Tohma-san?"
Yuki frown at Shuichi's obvious forced cheerfulness. His frown deepen as he stare at the two people who he knew caused it.
"Hn. Who are those two?" Yuki ask coldly. Yuki glared at the two male so coldly that the two shivered. Not losing both of them glare back. Shuichi look nervous at the rising tension.
"Yu~ki! Don't be so rude. We were just talking."
Yuki glare at the two a moment longer before walking away, pulling Shuichi with him. "The event is about to stare. Let go to a better spot."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sugoi! Tohma-san knows how to play the piano?"
Yuki smile slightly at Shuichi's kawaii face. "Shhh. It's starting."
Everyone quiet down as Ryuichi cleared his throat. "Ohayo minna-san! Today's event is very special. From a friend's request I will sing toady. Written by Yuki Eiri, it is dedicated to his special someone. He honor us to sing his song. It is call "Shining Collection"."
Shuichi look at Yuki in surprise and hope.
"Yuki..."
Yuki look at Shuichi softly. "Shh. Listen."

"Yuki-san really loves Shuichi." Hiro sad sadly.
Suguru look at Hiro with equally sad eyes. "It can't be helped."
"Shuichi will never recover."
Suguru sigh and turn back to the stage.

Shuichi can't believe it. Yuki wrote a song for him about him! He was so happy he can burst. Shuichi turned to Yuki and look at him in the eyes.
"Yuki..."
Shuichi launch himself onto Yuki. Yuki hug back tightly.
"Arigatou." Shuichi said hoarsely. Shuichi never want this moment to end. Everything is so perfect that he wish time could stop and they can stay in this position forever. Suddenly an idea came to him. Shuichi pull back from Yuki reluctantly. Yuki was confuse at the action.
"Yuki. Wait for me here ok?"
Yuki nodded slowly. Shuichi smiled and run toward the stage. Yuki look at Shuichi in curiosity when Shuichi whisper something to everyone in Nittle Grasper. Everyone nodded and off off stage. Shuichi walk to the microphone seeming to want to say something. He tapped the microphone to get everyone attention.
"Ohayo! I know no one knows who I am and it doesn't matter. I just wanted to give a special someone back a special gift. HIRO! SUGURU! COME UP HERE! I NEED YOUR HELP!"
The people in question look at Shuichi in surprise. Shuichi just gave them a look. Understanding, Hiro and Suguru made there way up to stage. When they were up on stage Hiro took out a guitar, seemingly out of nowhere, and Suguru took his position behind the keyboard. Seeing everyone was ready Shuichi turn back to the audience.
"I know Nittle Grasper is the best band in Tokyo. But from where I am from, Bad Luck is the best! Now may I present to you "In The Moonlight"."
Shuichi nodded to Hiro and Suguru. Slowly soft music drifted in the air. Shuichi closed his eyes and let the melody flow within him.

"Hmmmm. Shindo-san have a beautiful voice." Tohma admires.
Yuki look at Shuichi softly.
"Hn."
"I wonder which company he sang for. Do you think he will join the music industry (namely mine) in Tokyo."
Yuki's felt a tightness in his heart. He remembers what he overheard. Shuichi can't join anything. Because Shuichi is leaving tomorrow.

--------------------
Yuki was glad to be home so he can have Shuichi all for himself again. He can't help but enjoy the feel of Shuichi in his arms. Snuggling closer to Shuichi he unconsciously breath in Shuichi's strawberriness (AN: I made this word up. ^.^) scent.
"Nee, Yuki."
"Nani."
"How did I did today?"
"You didn't do too bad."
Shuichi sigh happily, content with Yuki's answer. Knowing him he was just restraint himself.
"Yuki. Hold me tighter."
"Just hold you? Won't you rather go to the bedroom?"
"The bedroom? Naze?"
"You don't want to... make love?"
Make love. No sex. The choice of word filled Shuichi with this indescribable feeling, a good feeling.
"No... not at all."
