Hey peoples!
Okay, let's talk. I know I always say this, but I'm VERY sorry for the update being sooo late. I've been inexcusably(sp?) lazy. I hate how I have all summer to get up to date, but I don't feel like writing till it's too late, and school's started up again. SO I've decided until the full days of school start up (Aug 23rd, the 19th&20th are half days .) I'm gonna work like crazy. Until I bleed.
On other news, one reviewer said about the Shounen-ai. I've never written it before, so when I get there, it'll probably be poor. I'll get better though. ;p
Also, Taby suggested the title "What We're Missing" which I think fits much better. I'll change it come the 5th August. So please make note.
Okay. Onward!
Ps. The song Shuichi sings is "Boundless Love" by To Destination. I can so see him getting into that song. ;D Skip past the japanese if you don't care.

Shuichi's POV
I finally decided to take a shower. I needed to get out of there, to calm down. Eiri-san kindly pointed out where it was and explained how the taps worked, while Kitazawa snickered behind his hand. As if that would make it less offending.
I quickly walked inside (it would be rude to run) and shut the door behind me, leaning against it to calm my breathing. What was wrong with me? There was no reason for my heart to be beating as quickly as it was.
I was confused as to where the shower actually was, until I peeled back the sliding door. (A/N: I feel your pain dude. XD) I stepped in (after stripping down), sliding the door back again, and recalled what Eiri-san had said. Turning the colored knobs, I got the jet of water to be lukewarm. I stood there for a few seconds, just relaxing. It felt so good, much better then bathing in the rain.
I picked up what I believed to be the body wash. Don't get me wrong, I can read, just... not very.. well. Grabbing a face rag sitting there, I began to wash my body. To clear my mind, I decided to sing. It started out as huming a little tune, when I began singing a song that was really popular where I had lived, so I had easily memorized the lyrics.
"Kinou made nani mo kanjinakatta ano shigusa ga
kyou wa yake ni itoshikute mabushikute IRAIRA suru yo
tomadoi nagara nagaseru kokoro sunao ni narenai
kamushara ni naru jibun omou dake de mi no ke mo yodatsu yo
(Boundless Love) kuzurete iku yumetachi
hakanai genjitsu ni ichigo ichie no hana o
(Boundless Love) kudaranai MEDHIA
kyou mo GURUGURU to isogashiku naku mawatteru
mune no shimetsukeru kyuukutsu na atsui omoi ga
komiageru setsunai hodo totemo futsuu ja irarenai
hateshinai ai motometsuzukete mo Love is Blind
tada no guuzen yosoote yasashisa ni tsutsumarete mitai
sayonara no tabi iya ni nara hodo shibonde iku
tsukarekitta kao hodo waraeru mono wa nai ne
(Boundless Love) kodoku na mainichi ni
tasogareru jikan ga yake ni munashikute
(Boundless Love) taikutsu na mainichi ni
kokora hen de ikkai gurai Long Vacation kimetai
dakishimetai kooru te no naka fureau you ni
nani mo kamo sarakedasu yo The baby was a girl
ima o sasaeru ookina nani ka ga ugokidasu yo
tsumetai yoru o koete miru
I don't want to live a gloomy life"
I paused after rinsing of the lather, then began my hair.
"mune o tsukenukeru kaze to tomo ni atsui omoi ga
komiageru setsunai hodo totemo futsuu ja irarenai
hateshinai ai motometsuzukete mo Love is blind
tada no guuzen yosoote yasashisa ni tsutsumarete mitai..."
As I finished the song, I sighed from what it took out of me. But then----
Someone clapped and whistled. I froze. Just now I realized the two silhouettes outside the screen-door.
/Shit./
I rinsed out the remaining shampoo and yanked the sliding door open just enough to peek my head though. Sure enough, Eiri-san and Kitazawa stood there. Kitazawa, being the one who had clapped and whistled, gave me a thumbs up, while Eiri-san smiled curiously at me. (A/N: Is that even an expression?)
"W-what?" I stammered, and I could feel the blush on my cheeks as drops of water rolled down them. Eiri-san held up some clothes and began to explain:
"I came in to bring you the clothes I got for you, when I heard you singing. I called him in," Eiri-san gestured to Kitazawa behind with his head, "And so we listened. I have to say you sung it well, that's a very fast and entergetic song."
"And you pulled it off perfectly, boyo!" Kitazawa butt in. I quickly ducked back into the shower and turned off the now freezing water, then pulled back out to find a towel in my face.
"Anyways, you should dry up and get dressed. We're going out tonight," Eiri-san explained as I took the towel from him with a soft 'thank you'. "Meet us by the front door when you're finished."
Kitazawa snickered, "Remember how to get there?" He smiled nervously though as he met our glares. It was funny, actually.
"C'mon," Eiri-san growled lightly, pulling a Kitazawa out by his arm.
"But kooooiiiii!"
I watched the door slam close, wrapping the white towel around my waist. I felt a pang inside me,but wasn't sure why. Shaking it off, I stepped out the warm shower and walked to where Eiri-san had set down the clothes he wanted me to where.
The clothes consisted of a roomy white blouse, black slacks, and a black jacket. I slipped then on, then used the towel to dry my hair, until there was not a drop of water left. It was much softer that way.
I smiled, admiring myself in the mirror above the marble sink. All those times I've gazed at my reflection -- through a store window or a sloppy puddle -- I've never looked this good!
Suddenly I remembered we had to leave, so I stumbled out the door.
Waiting was Eiri-san dressed in a long-sleeved, blue shirt and khaki pants, and Kitazawa in a red polo with black pants. They saw me and headed out the door, so I followed behind.
"Not to be rude, but. where are we going?" I asked nervously, falling into step with Eiri-san. Down the stairs...
"A nice french restaurant downtown. Supposed to be really good," Eiri-san says with a glance. We reach his red car again; it's really nice, inside and out. I slide into the middle/back seat this time, Kitazawa in the front and Eiri-san in the driver's seat. It's silent as he starts up the car.
As we drive down the streets, I watch out the window. The speed we're going gives me enough time to peer though the semi-darkness and into the many alleyways. People, young and old, are sprawled out in them, trying to take shelter in the darkness. I feel sorry for them, probably because I've mostly been in their situation. Only I'm sure my old life was better, compared to their's. In a big city like this, the conditions must be worse, and there are thugs and gangs here, while we didn't really have them back home.
Scooting closer to the window I fold my hands and bow my head, praying for good fortune on their part.
--- At Elysee Hikaru ---
Opening the door, I scooted out into the now cold, night air. Silently I followed Eiri-san and Kitazawa again, up to the main desk, located outside the restaurant. Eiri-san signed us in, and a waitress led us inside. This place was very large, and looked really elegant..
The inside was even more beautiful, though. The windows held a nice view of the city. The lights were dimed, candles lit upon white tablecloths.
We were sat at a round table to fit 4 people, near a large window. I sat in the chair next to Eiri-san, while Kitazawa sat in a chair across from us. We were handed menus, and the the girl adresesed us:
"Welcome to Elysee Hikaru. What will you have to drink tonight?"
I skimmed the menu. What were the options..?
"I'll--" Kitazawa started, but Eiri-san cut him off.
"We'll all have tea, please." The waitress jotted it down, bowed, then walked off to fetch the tea.
I was scared as Kitazawa glared at Eiri-san, a look that could kill. Almost like the first time I had met him. Eiri-san looked him equally in the eye.
"You've got to stop," Eiri-san said with a sigh, "This is for your own good."

Bwahaha, I'm setting the stage for my little soap opera! XD
I'll continue the whole resturant thingie next chappie. I can't think of anything else at the moment. =P
This was going be put out at the end of July, but I kept getting sidetracked.
Kitazawa calls Shuichi "boyo" meaning kid. Ha, blame Enzai. Xb
Elysee Hikaru is a real french restaurant in Japan. Since I've never been there, I'm making up how they act. But the food will be real menu items (I did research, yay).
Thanks Taby for the clothing ideas, and thanks again to all my lovely reviewers!!
Oh, one more thing, I'm thinking of putting this mainly in Shu's POV, occasionally changing to Suguru's or Eiri's, or something. Also, is Shuichi's constant "Eiri-san"s annoying you?
With these thoughts, I leave you! Peace, and please review!
