Parent Trap: Gravitation Style
by: Draken-sama and AoiFurin
Do you think Penniless seventeen year olds could own them?
(Since Furin started him that way guess we just have to deal in a less angsty Yuki from now on.)
But that personality suits him well. Besides, when somebody becomes a parent, they changes somehow.
(Really now. Would you site some example?)
Well, there's Vegeta! He's once a cold prince but he softens when he saw that he's got a son i.e. Trunks! That's enough proof. Also, love can make you a bit sappy.
(A bit? :looks over their work: And here I am thinking there's not a sweet bone in your body. Where's that romantic side of you before?)
Ah..shuddup!
(Well, whatever...m/m so if that bothers you, get out.)
Chapter 10
-----------------------
"Shuichi, you do know what does your daughters were up to, right?" Eiri eyeing his wine glass. Shuichi looked at him like he's an alien or something.
"Last time I check, they're your daughters too." He eyed the man across him. He tried to glare but by just looking how intense Eiri look at his glass, his stone heart suddenly melt. "But no. I don't know any of their plans. I don't know how their minds work." 'Just like you, Eiri.' he added in his mind.
Eiri nodded. "Well, it seems to me that they're trying to remake the things that happened years ago. From the meeting in the park, up until the day I..." Shuichi's eyes lit up from sudden realisation. The table settings, the dishes, even the centerpiece which is just a lone yellow Rose but tied in a pink ribbon.
"You ask me to marry you." he added as he tore his gaze from Eiri. He don't know why but somehow, he doesn't want this night to end with just a recreation of their engagement night. If possible...no! He can't wish something like that! Afterall, he's the reason they're not together anymore.
"Those two! Do you think they'd try to recreate everything like the Tokyo Bay Festival or even our wedding?! I wish they would recreate the Nittle Grasper's last concert! It was so much fun!" Shuichi reverts back to his old 19 yr. old genki self as a matter of self-defense. He thought that maybe if he tries to lighten things up, the air of seriousness that surrounds Eiri would go away.
Eiri couldn't help but stare. Five minutes ago, he's so sure that Shuichi matured but now, seeing how Shu reacted...he doesn't know anymore. He let out the breath he didn't know he's holding as Tatsuha entered the scene and served them desserts each. He looked down at the slice of Strawberry cake in front of Shuichi and a slice of Lemon Cake in front of him. He smiled inwardly, it's the type of cake they've ordered on their first 'real' date.
"So, we should talk about the twins." Eiri as he poke his cake slice. When he looked up, Shu's almost finished with his. 'Is he nervous or something?' he thought as Shu took another spoonful. "You do know that we can't separate them anymore now that they've known about each other. I guess it would be best that one of us keep the two of them until we could think of other ways. Shuri could study in America if you want. Shura goes to one of the prestigous private school there."
"Look Eiri. If you're trying to get my daughter away from me, I assure you, you'll walk over my dead body first. (That was lame- A. Yare yare-D)" Shu stopped eating and cast Eiri a glare that could match his. Eiri looked nonchalant.
"Then what do you suggest?" Shu looked confused for a second when a light bulb goes off in his head. "We could share. Half a year with me and another half with you." He beamed at his answer but Eiri shook his head.
"That won't do. It'll just stress the twins. Besides, don't you think it's very unpractical to change school almost every semester?" Eiri took a sip from his glass. Shu fell in silence. "Then what do you suggest?" Shu looked at his plate of half-eaten strawberry cake with great interest. He then heard Eiri sigh.
"It's our problem before. That's why we've came to a solution that they must be separated. They're not some toy that we could toss here and fro. I guess it's for the best..." the two fell in deep silence. The air thicken with tension that you can slice it with a knife. But Shu being the hyper one, broke it.
"What happened Eiri?" he asked in a voice just above whisper. But Eiri heard it and took a sharp intake of breath.
"What...what do you mean, Shu?" his voice laced with confusion. He then dared to meet the other one's eyes and was surprise to see those lavander pool welled with water.
"I mean what happened...between us? What happened to our relationship Eiri? What happened to our love?" Shu tries to hide his face with his bangs as the tears flow down his cheeks. He doesn't know how or why but just seeing Shuichi crying like that triggered something inside his heart. In an instant, he's by Shu's side hugging him, trying to stop his tears.
-----------------------
"Shu-chan? Where are you Shu-chan?" Mariko knocked on Shu's hotel door where a slight dazed Hiro opened it for her. He just got back after playing non-stop for an hour with Shu and Suguru so one could say it's not the right time to bug him.
"They're not here." he answered simply. He tried closing the door but Mariko stopped him.
"They?" Mariko asked again. "He's with Shuri?"
"Yes. And not only Shuri. He went out for dinner with the twins and Uesugi-san." Hiro answered flatly.
Mariko's eyes went wide. "He goes out with Yuki Eiri?!"
Hiro look at her like she's nuts or something. "He goes out with the twins too. Not just Uesugi-san. Besides, they do have a past so it's not something to be surprised with."
"But he's my fiance' now! He can't just go out with some other guys." Mariko stamped her foot to put some emphasis.
Hiro just rolled his eyes. He then gave her a very menacing look. He knew the twins plan of sabotaging the engagement and making their fathers got together again. Planting some seeds of doubt on Mariko's mind could just help.
"He's not out with just some other guys. Yucheki-san, he's out with Uesugi Eiri, his former 'lover' and 'husband'." He stresses on the word lover and husband as he smiles inwardly when Mariko gasp. He continued, "So you could say he's in good hands. No need to worry. Goodnight, Yucheki-san." he then closed the door in front of her face.
Mariko stood there stunned. No, she's not worried about Shu and Eiri getting together. No,not at all since Shu meant little to her. She's worried about their plans on taking over Shu's company.
"Not only the twins are in the way..." she turned towards the elevator. "But Yuki Eiri as well."
----------------
"Gomen ne, koi-chan." Shuichi whispered between his sobs. Eiri suddenly tensed up as he pulled away from Shuichi just far enough so he could his face.
"What did you just call me Shu?" Pained gold eyes look back on crying lavender ones. It took Shuichi to process Eiri's question when he remembered the things he said in past minutes. A small blush crept on his cheeks as he tries to avoid Eiri's stare. He tried to get up but Eiri's hands are holding his waist down. "No-nothing. Uh...could you please release me? I want to get some water." He ask without meeting the other's gaze. Eiri reluctantly releases him but he knew that the conversation is not yet over.
He stood up and walk towards the nearby table where some refreshments are laid out. (You know, the long side ones.) He took a glass and filled it with some water from the pitcher. He took a sip while replaying the scenes that just happened.
He remembered being angry at the decision they're getting into since he want to be with his other daughter too. Eleven years are far too long! He wants to see her grow into a fine woman and make him proud of her just like Shuri. He want's to see them grow...together. So when Eiri decided to settle on their past plan, he just burst. That's when it hit him, they settled on that decision eleven years ago since they're getting divorced. He didn't really want to voice out his thoughts that's why he's surprised when Eiri ask him about it. And it just snowballed from there.
A shiver ran down his spine when he remembered Eiri hugging him, calming him down. Just like when they're just newlyweds, like when Eiri started opening himself up for him. And what did he do? He hurted the man that's been hurt before. He tore down the icy barriers shielding Eiri's heart but instead of protecting it, he crushed it the minute he took hold of it. Yes, usually it's Eiri who left but that time, it was him.
"Shuichi..." a low voice brought him back to reality. When he turned he came face to face the man he once love...no, scratch that. The man he'll always love. Eiri.
------------------
"Taki! Taki! Wake up Taki!" Mariko burst into ASK room startling Ma and Ken while they're playing on the PSII.
"Where's Taki?!" she yelled at Ma's ears.
"Hey!" Ken stood up for his friend's defense. (Honestly, I really think there's something going on between the two of them. Either that or they're both inlove with Taki or there's a love triangle somewhere.- D You and your imaginations.-A)
"Where.Is.Taki?!" she grabbed his collar like some mad girl that's gonna kill any second.
"I'm here." a voice from an adjoining room intterupted. "What are you doing here?" he ask nonchalantly as he sat on the couch. Mariko letting go of Ken's collar glared at Taki.
"You didn't tell me about the Yuki Eiri issue." she sat on the farthest corner of the couch.
"What about it?" Taki eyed Mariko, suspicions rising.
"Tell me all I need to know about Eiri and their relationship." Mariko met his gaze with equal intensity. Ma and Ken quietly left the room knowing it's not good when Taki's on those 'moods.'
After a few minutes, Taki cave in. "Fine. They met fifteen years ago. Three years after that they got married. After a year they separated. The end. Happy?"
Mariko looked at him like he sprouted horns on his head. Slowly, she nodded as realisation starts to set in.
"He's still in love with him." she said just above whisper.
"What makes you say that? He's marrying you isn't he?"
"Yes. But that's because he thought Shuri needed a mom. He told me that he tried dating before but when those girls got to know Shuri and his past, they all disappeared in his life. I'm the only one who stayed, not because I love him but because of our plan. No, he didn't love me. He's just marrying me." She stood up and walk towards the door.
"Mariko..are you sure?" Taki's voice is low like a growl. This can't be happening! How can he destroy Shindou if Mariko didn't mean a thing to him.
"Woman's intuition. Besides, it's still obvious that he's in love with the famous writer." She shut the door not waiting for Taki's reply.
All that Taki could do is stare at the now closed door. Damn. And double damn. This can't be! All those years of planning the perfect revenge against them. Against Yuki for being so strong that he can wipe them off the planet and against Shuichi for being ASK's downfall. Those two should pay. Now that his plan against Shu is in shambles, guess he needs to retort back on his original plan. His plan way back twelve years ago.
------------------------------
"Shuichi, I need answers now. What do you mean by asking about the past?" this conversation really rips Eiri's heart out. Why does he bother asking knowing all too well the answer.
"It's nothing Eiri. It's just a slip of the tounge." Shuichi starts heading down the door. But before he could get there, Eiri's tight grip held him in place.
"Eiri, let me go." Shu didn't dare meet his gold eyes. He knows that once he did, he'll be lost forever.
"No." a firm answer from Eiri shook Shu to the core. But what he didn't expect is that Eiri could top it off with his next words. "I did let go of you once without any explanations and I regret it for the rest of my life. Now that I've got the chance again, I won't. Not until you explain yourself. Then again, maybe not. Maybe I won't EVER let go."
Shuichi gasp before the feeling of guilt washed over him again. Eiri just stood there, holding his left wrist in a firm lock. It's like dejavu' all over again.
"Shu-chan." Eiri's tired voice woke him up from his reverie. He turn around to see the man he once envisioned as a powerful and proud is now a man bearing a helpless look and pained face. "Shu..." he's ready to take the hurling insults he knew would be coming from the Eiri. He'd envision it on his head a couple of times when he's wondering about what if they see each other again. Usually, his dreams would end up Eiri yelling at him with insults blowing towards him. What he didn't see is Eiri's choice of words now.
"Why did you leave me?"
-------------------------
"Hey Shura, it just occured to me...what if..." Shuri starts but trailed off. She then tore her gaze from the skyline of Kyoto. After leaving Eiri and Shuichi on Zepp Tokyo II, they went to Tohma's manor nearby where it's on top of a hill and ate a rather bountiful dinner. After eating, they've decided to rest at the manor's balcony and watch the nightlife in Kyoto.
Shura took a glimpse of her twin before looking back at the moon. "What is it? What's bothering you?"
"I don't know. It just occured to me what if they didn't reconcile? What if the plan fails? What if that didn't work? We'll be separated." Shuri voicing out her concerns. Shura look at her with a glint of confidence in her gold eyes.
"Then we'll just have to try again. Devise a new plan." Shuri stared at her twin with unbelieving looks. Is this girl really her twin? When did she became somewhat 'manipulative'? (Hey Furin! I thought Shura is the well composed one.-D Well...you're the one who told me that Tohma's one manipulative bastard so...we can say some of it rubbed off at Shura.-A I see...you just gave me an idea!-D)
"And Mariko?"
"We just have to keep dad's mind off her until he and father sorted that they still have feelings with each other." Shura chuckled quite evilly. Shuri just eyed her and hope for the best.
tbc
What do you think should the twins do?
(Make Mariko's life a living hell!!!)
What about Shu and Eiri?
(Make them more sappy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Eh?
(Well, erhm. I got to leave you to Furin now. She'll answer all your questions. Bye! :Turns back to her notebook.:)
::roll eyes::She's in a hurry. She's writing a one-shot on Yugioh.
(I have to! Oh no!::Sees inspiration flying away from her:: My inspiration, come back!!!! Argh! Now, I have to start all over again! ::pouts::)
::Pats her head:: You can do it. Think about all those Seto/Jou stories you've read and stashed in your desktop.
(How did you know it was a J/S pairing? I haven't told you what I'm writing as of now.)
::rolls her eyes again:: I'm the one who told you that you can use that song in a love-hate relationship and you practically screamed Yugioh. Like J/S is not an obvious one. Besides, you've been nagging me about them for about awhile now.
(o.0? Fine! Anywho, please read my new fic 'Summer sunshine' ::fidgets while doing this shameless plug:: it's one-shot and I just need to write it. Please!!!! ::puppy dog eyes:: Anyway, suggestions, commenst, questions and FLAMES are accepted. See you next update!)
Since Draken's busy, I'll answer your reviews alone for today.
t.A.M.a-Aki-Kaeri- thanks! Actually, we're still arguing what would be the reason as we write chapter 11. We've gone from realistic (Infidelity) to insanely (You killed my kumagoro! I hate you! ) but we've come up for the perfect reason. Just see the next chapter! ::flashes a v sign:: Eneweiz, I just noticed it now, your nmes the same of my Niichan! ('.')
Zaphi- Yeah...we thought it too. Wait till you see the whole plan! ::grins::
mayneuma- Yes it's in the future but only eleven years passed. We thought what is life eleven years ago and not much have change except that machines are now faster and instead of beepers, there's cellphones. So we thought if the year in the anime is around 1999(the year of the bad luck tour. It's in the cd 'gravitation: best collection') then the year they're in now is around 2010 which is not too far from now so we take it as not much will change. And about Mariko, she do know about Shu's past being wed to another guy. She just doesn't know it's with Yuki. Remember the scene when they met a t the bar prior to the twins formal introduction? She said she tried looking informations about him but they're all erased. You can say someone aka Tohma Seguchi's behind all of it due to Eiri's request. Hope it all clears that up.::wipes off imaginary sweat:: Thanks! V
Lauren-Thanks! We hope to see you too!
Ryuichi-pika- Thanks! ::hugs you:: Hope you'll like this chapter too!
Silcer wing18- THANKIES!!!!::gives you a huge Shu and Yuki hugging each other plushie it really exist! I have one!:: That's for saying this is the best lolz! Eneweiz, we're glad that you liked it and we hope you like the next one though i'm not quite sure if it'll be Gravitation or Yugioh or a crossover. Gah! Draken's so fickle! As for updates, it always irk us whenever somebody take too long to update. ::got stabbed with her own words:: so we tried updating as soon as we finished writing the chappies. ::Draken's singing at the background::
(D- YOU MUST PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH! LALALALALA. WHERE IS THE LOVE? A- Ah shut up! I forgot my password AGAIN so I can't open my mm.org account! My fics!!! I can't update there!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! )
Eneweiz, we're about to close the poll so...::got whacked in the head by Draken:: What?!
(You're not suppose to tell them yet! Anywho...)
Shu- on ff. 6, e-mails 10. Total 16
Eiri- on ff. 1, e-mails 9. Total 10

"Taki! Taki! Wake up Taki!" Mariko burst into ASK room startling Ma and Ken while they're playing on the PSII.
"Where's Taki?!" she yelled at Ma's ears.

"Hey Shura, it just occured to me...what if..." Shuri starts but trailed off. She then tore her gaze from the skyline of Kyoto. After leaving Eiri and Shuichi on Zepp Tokyo II, they went to Tohma's manor nearby where it's on top of a hill and ate a rather bountiful dinner. After eating, they've decided to rest at the manor's balcony and watch the nightlife in Kyoto.
Shura took a glimpse of her twin before looking back at the moon. "What is it? What's bothering you?"
"I don't know. It just occured to me what if they didn't reconcile? What if the plan fails? What if that didn't work? We'll be separated." Shuri voicing out her concerns. Shura look at her with a glint of confidence in her gold eyes.
"Then we'll just have to try again. Devise a new plan." Shuri stared at her twin with unbelieving looks. Is this girl really her twin? When did she became somewhat 'manipulative'? (Hey Furin! I thought Shura is the well composed one.-D Well...you're the one who told me that Tohma's one manipulative bastard so...we can say some of it rubbed off at Shura.-A I see...you just gave me an idea!-D)
"And Mariko?"
"We just have to keep dad's mind off her until he and father sorted that they still have feelings with each other." Shura chuckled quite evilly. Shuri just eyed her and hope for the best.

What do you think should the twins do?
(Make Mariko's life a living hell!!!)
What about Shu and Eiri?
(Make them more sappy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Eh?
(Well, erhm. I got to leave you to Furin now. She'll answer all your questions. Bye! :Turns back to her notebook.:)
::roll eyes::She's in a hurry. She's writing a one-shot on Yugioh.
(I have to! Oh no!::Sees inspiration flying away from her:: My inspiration, come back!!!! Argh! Now, I have to start all over again! ::pouts::)
::Pats her head:: You can do it. Think about all those Seto/Jou stories you've read and stashed in your desktop.
(How did you know it was a J/S pairing? I haven't told you what I'm writing as of now.)
::rolls her eyes again:: I'm the one who told you that you can use that song in a love-hate relationship and you practically screamed Yugioh. Like J/S is not an obvious one. Besides, you've been nagging me about them for about awhile now.
(o.0? Fine! Anywho, please read my new fic 'Summer sunshine' ::fidgets while doing this shameless plug:: it's one-shot and I just need to write it. Please!!!! ::puppy dog eyes:: Anyway, suggestions, commenst, questions and FLAMES are accepted. See you next update!)
Since Draken's busy, I'll answer your reviews alone for today.
t.A.M.a-Aki-Kaeri- thanks! Actually, we're still arguing what would be the reason as we write chapter 11. We've gone from realistic (Infidelity) to insanely (You killed my kumagoro! I hate you! ) but we've come up for the perfect reason. Just see the next chapter! ::flashes a v sign:: Eneweiz, I just noticed it now, your nmes the same of my Niichan! ('.')
Zaphi- Yeah...we thought it too. Wait till you see the whole plan! ::grins::
mayneuma- Yes it's in the future but only eleven years passed. We thought what is life eleven years ago and not much have change except that machines are now faster and instead of beepers, there's cellphones. So we thought if the year in the anime is around 1999(the year of the bad luck tour. It's in the cd 'gravitation: best collection') then the year they're in now is around 2010 which is not too far from now so we take it as not much will change. And about Mariko, she do know about Shu's past being wed to another guy. She just doesn't know it's with Yuki. Remember the scene when they met a t the bar prior to the twins formal introduction? She said she tried looking informations about him but they're all erased. You can say someone aka Tohma Seguchi's behind all of it due to Eiri's request. Hope it all clears that up.::wipes off imaginary sweat:: Thanks! V
Lauren-Thanks! We hope to see you too!
Ryuichi-pika- Thanks! ::hugs you:: Hope you'll like this chapter too!
Silcer wing18- THANKIES!!!!::gives you a huge Shu and Yuki hugging each other plushie it really exist! I have one!:: That's for saying this is the best lolz! Eneweiz, we're glad that you liked it and we hope you like the next one though i'm not quite sure if it'll be Gravitation or Yugioh or a crossover. Gah! Draken's so fickle! As for updates, it always irk us whenever somebody take too long to update. ::got stabbed with her own words:: so we tried updating as soon as we finished writing the chappies. ::Draken's singing at the background::
(D- YOU MUST PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH! LALALALALA. WHERE IS THE LOVE? A- Ah shut up! I forgot my password AGAIN so I can't open my mm.org account! My fics!!! I can't update there!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! )
Eneweiz, we're about to close the poll so...::got whacked in the head by Draken:: What?!
(You're not suppose to tell them yet! Anywho...)
