Parent Trap: Gravitation Style

by: Draken-sama and AoiFurin

Do you think Penniless seventeen year olds could own them?

(Whew! I thought we'll never make through the reason scene!)

Yeah...but tell me, does anyone of you like me think that Eiri do have issues?!

(He's just traumatized. He doesn't have ISSUES!)

Watch the whole anime for about 3 times and you'll agree with me!

(Name at least one person who agrees with you.)

You're niichan Gil.

(::rolls eyes:: But he agrees with you EVERYTIME we argue. Argh! We'll get to that later. Anywho, this is m/m so if that offends you, I suggest you leave.)

Chapter 12

-----------------------------------

"Tohma, it didn't go as planned. Something came up and the twins had to cancel."

"I see. I guess we'll be needing more help than what we've originally planned."

"We've contacted almost everyone. Tatsuha, Ayaka, Maiko and Hiro are all included."

"There's still people that could help in the situation. One could go for Eiri, the other at Shuichi. Afterall, they've persuaded them once. They can do it again."

"I get it. I'll tell the twins. Would you want me to call them?"

"By any means Fujisaki-kun. Also, it would also help if you sedate Tatsuha first."

"Okay. Consider it done." the other line hunged up. Tohma smiled as he stood up from his desk. He pressed the speed dialer on his phone.

"Hello Mika. It's me, Tohma. Could you contact Noriko for me? It's about the ship she bought twelve years ago. Yes, the one they used that night. What's the name of it again? Right. Got it. Contact her as soon as you can. Yes. Thank you. Bye." Tohma hunged up. He then looked at the note he'd scribbled before. It was the ship Noriko bought and was used by Shu and Eiri on their wedding.

S.S. Gravitation

-----------------------------

"Father..." Shura slowly opened Eiri's door letting some light inside the dimly lit room.

"Shu-chan, could you leave father for awhile? I want to be alone right now." Eiri as he stares at the wall. Shura swung the door wide.

"No." she replied in a very low and very dangerous voice. She marched in front of Eiri's bed and put her hands on her hips.

"You're not my father. My father doesn't wallow nor he let others push him around. He's a man who's always sure of himself and always aim to get what he wants, no matter what happens!" This sudden outburst made Eiri turn his gaze at Shura and saw someone he rather forget.

"He's not some guy who always try to escape and pushes people away from him just to save himself from being hurt. He'd taken a risk as long as he knows it'll make him happy. He doesn't hide behind a mask of apathy. He's not who you are now!" at this, Shura burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed violently. She really didn't plan for this outburst because she's not the type who charges without any strategy.

"Do you know Yuki Eiri, Shura?" a very low voice his father rarely use shocked her. But the way his father called her name made her shiver more. She nodded that made Eiri chuckle. 'Why does father ask stupid questions? Of course I knew Yuki Eiri, that's his pen name.' She let out a small growl when Eiri's chuckle turn into full blown laugh.

"No Shura, you don't." his father turn into his serious mode. 'Father really needs to work out that mood swings.' (Issues- A Whatever-D)

"The Yuki Eiri you're thinking is the penname father is using now. But fifteen years ago, Yuki Eiri is a man. A man who always try to escape and pushes people away so he'll never be hurt. He doesn't take risks and only do something that'll be of use to him. He uses people to be the best novelist though he always dump them when they're useless. He hides behind a mask of indifference and doesn't let others to see what he really feels. He's one cold, arrogant bastard who doesn't care about anyone but himself. That's Yuki Eiri, famous novelist, also known as Uesugi Eiri." Shura took a step backward with her father's words. She won't believe that the horrible person his father describe is him. Never!

"You're joking right? You can't be him! You can't be!" She shook her head. She won't believe it. His father is not a cold, arrogant bastard like Eiri put it. She bolted out of the door when Eiri didn't bother replying and only uttered an annoyed 'hn'.

When Shura left. Eiri took a glance of his reflection at the mirror beside his bed. He won't be the sappy Eiri anymore. He won't let others hurt him again. This time, Yuki Eiri has to come back. For good.

--------------------------

"I don't know what to do anymore Hiro. On this hand, I have to marry Mariko because I've made a commitment. On this other hand, I don't want Shuri to get mad at me of marrying someone she clearly doesn't like. Maybe, if I marry Mariko, I should send Shuri with her twin in NYC to study." Shuichi is sitting the way he usually does whenever asking Hiro's advice. (Legs curled up and hugged by Shu...Watch the anime'.)

"On the other hand, is it really Shuri or..." Hiro leered, some things really don't change. "is it Eiri?"

"Hiro!" Shu stood up to protest but decided just to hung his shoulder in a defeated stance.

"Shuichi..." Hiro contemplated if it's the very best advice he could come out with but his cards are all out. He can't think anything that's would best fit the situation though he knows it's really unhelpful.

"Why don't you disregard everyone would say and just follow your heart?"

---------------------------

"There Shura. Feel any better?" as Shuri patted the head of her sister. They're now in Shuri's room where Shura's burying her face in a pillow and Shuri sitting beside her.

She can't help but feel sad. She can feel the pain Shura's feeling right now. She's confused and angry, two feelings she really don't want to feel but did because of the twins special bond.

Ss she stroke the shoulder length pink hair of Shura, she recalls what happened earlier. She's just about to sleep when Shura burst into her room crying.

She lunged at her and cried her heart out. She don't know what to do since Shura always seem to be the well composed one. She's not the type who would go bursting her feelings out. She seems like a female version of their uncle Tohma whom on her brief stay on NYC showed the manipulative and secretive attitude.

"Father...he...Yuki...No...can't...Never..." Shura's sentences were broken and so were her voice. She just kept repeating those words as she cry on Shuri's bed. All that Shuri can do is just be there, beside her, and share her pain.

------------------

"Hey Suguru! It's been a long time! What are you been up to? Oh him? He's fine. Really now? Getting married? Hahaha...that's a good one. You're not kidding? No Way! So that's why you called? Fine! We'll be there as soon as we can. Tell Tohma were coming. Good. Bye!" a dialtone was heard.

"Who's that?"

"Suguru. He called because Tohma wants us to go to Kyoto."

"Really? Why?"

"Well...think of it as a reunion..."

"Will Shuichi be there?"

"Hai."

"Yay!"

---------------------

"Yes, this is Toham Seguchi. Could you connect me to him now?"

"Wait a minute sir..." a female voice politely asked. After a minute or two, a somewhat familiar voice was heard.

"Good day to you."

"Sir? President Tohma? What can I do for you sir? Do you need anything?" a somewhat nervous-wrecked voice answered.

"Yes...you see, there's this girl. I want to know her background profile. I believe you know her. Yucheki Mariko"

"Yucheki Mariko? Shindou-san's fiancee', Sir?"

"Yes. I hope to get a report soon. Sakano."

"Yes sir."

-tbc

(Yay! We're gonna put all the characters now into play!)

Yep! And soon..all secrets will be out! This time, Draken can now really bash Mariko and not some barbie doll she named after her. ::snickers::

(Hey!::pats Furin's arms:: That's suppose to be our secret.)

Well, don't you think it's rather not wise to create a character and hate her as well? We'll end up hating ourself because we've created somebody like her.

(She's not a figment of my imagination! She's the ------ of the school! ::clenches fists::)

You don't mean?:: blinks as Draken just nodded:: Burn her!!! Burn her!!!

(See? Anywho, suggestions, comments, questions and flames are welcome. ::flashes a v sign before ranting with Furin.:: Burn her!!! Kill her!!! Burn her!!!)

--------Answers to reviews---------

Tama- Gomen! Please don't be mad at us if we called you Aki. ::bribes you with Furin's plushies:: Take anything except the Ryuichi one. Not the Ryuchi one! Onegai!!! Anywho, about the question, yeah, this is our take on how Eiri would answer it.

Ryuichi-pika- yeah...actually, we're planning another one where Eiri would be the one chasing after Shu. Suggestions are welcome on that. But just e-mail one of us if you want to suggest ways so others won't see it and would know. '.

Lauren: Watch for the next chappie...we need a sappy Shu!!

Meepu- he's pondering on it...and we're thinking about it...

kaede11- Thanks! yeah..watch out for the next chappies. That Mariko's 'bleep' of our school! burn her! burn her!!!!

Clari-chan- Sure! Thanks! Shu's just being a baka but he'll get hit in the head and everything's will be alright! Don't worry! Now that I know Mariko's that girl, I'll see to it personally. Right Draken?!::using the Crystal Glare:: (Uh...you're scaring me Furin...-D)

Burn Mariko! Skin her alive! Shot her infront of a firing squad!!!

Re-enacment:

Mariko: ::now standing infront of a line of heavy armed soldiers::

General: ME! APUNTE!

PREPARA!

FUEGO!!!!

Mariko: X.X dead
