clari chan: You're right, Yuki did in fact tell Shuichi that he thought they should break things off for a bit but he didn't come right out and say they were to break up. Shuichi took it as Yuki needing space. Hope that cleared everything up?
Tikigirl123: Right I knew that but I thought it would be sort of a funny little thing in there...ya know sorta like she's not too bright...Oo was I the only one that got that?
ragdollsally13: LOL yup! You can trust me!
Chapter seven: Unwanted News
I sat there, in the exact same spot I was in when Annie left. It somewhat amazed me how her kiss meant nothing to me. I knew that it meant one thing...
...I was absolutely in love with Shuichi...and only him...
...if only I hadn't said what I did.
I stood up and walked into the kitchen, my coffee now gone, and set my cup in the sink. I walked slowly back into my office. After all that had just happened who in their right mind would go work? First, the love of my life walks out on me, plus I don't know if he'll be back, then I find out I have a daughter. Yeah, the day was perfect.
I had just seated myself when the phone next to my laptop rang. I glanced over at it, hoping it was one of those one ring calls...it wasn't. It continued ringing once more, then twice more. I was somewhat apprehensive to answer it, thinking it was probably Shuichi. After the fifth ring I picked it up and answered casually, "Hello?". Who's voice I heard on the other end, however, wasn't Shuichi's.
"Hello Eiri. How are you this afternoon?" was the calm voice of Touma Seguchi. He was, indeed, my brother-in-law, but I wasn't really in the mood to talk to him right now.
"Oh um...everything's great Touma." I replied, noticing after I had spoken just how much sarcasm was in my voice. Sometimes I just couldn't help it and since Touma knew me so well...I had that feeling he would know that something was wrong with me.
"Is it? To me it sounds completely the opposite. Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked me and I rubbed my neck. Touma always wanted what was best for me...but hell...maybe he just might be able to help me out with this one.
"Yeah I guess I just...Shuichi and I sort of got into a fight. I guess you wouldn't really call it a fight but he left..." I stopped when I heard a loud banging on my door once again. "God I hope that's not Annie again..." I muttered before hanging up the phone. Touma didn't care, that much I knew. Every time he called me I just hung up on him so he knew it was nothing new.
The loud banging continued and I had to yell "I'm coming!" for it to quit momentarily. When I reached the door, I opened it and everything that happened in the few seconds after I did so was practically a blur. Suddenly, I was up against the wall, someone was holding me against it with quite a respectable amount of force. I, of course, was stronger and I was able to push this guy off. Once he was away from me I was able to actually get a clear image of him, and he wasn't who I expected.
Looking away from me, his gaze toward the floor, was Hiro Nakano. I watched him for a few seconds, wanting to know what the deal was. When he looked up to me his eyes were red and his cheeks were stained from the trails of his tears. I could only wonder what he was about to tell me. I shut my door as he began talking.
"You stupid bastard...I told you that if you ever hurt Shuichi purposely I'd be back..." he muttered, looking back down to my floor. I watched him as he shut his eyes, more tears streaming down his face, seeming to come out of nowhere. "...and now...he's..." he was unable to finish, his breathing coming out in heavy sobs as he continued crying. I grabbed his shoulders, forcing him to look directly at me.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked him as he looked into my eyes for a moment and then turned his attention away once again. "Hiro tell me!" I said, beginning to raise my voice.
"Shuichi...he's...something happened to him and he...he's in the hospital Yuki!" he replied, his voice also raising as he finished and it only got louder. "I found him in the street! Somebody hit him and took off, leaving him in the middle of the street and yet...not one person noticed..." he continued crying as his voice died down again and I felt as if my heart was ripped straight out of my chest. "He told me as much as he could before passing out and I could barely hear him but I did hear your name. I don't know if he'll...If you were the cause of this Yuki I swear I--" I never did hear him finish, as I grabbed my coat and slammed the door in the middle of his sentence. The hospital wasn't too far from our apartment so I decided to walk...but walking gave me more time to think and now...now wasn't a good time.
As I saw the hospital appear close in front of me, it began to blur and at first I thought I was losing my sight. But it wasn't until I felt my own warm tears down the sides of my face that I knew I was crying...this was the second time in only a couple of days and I couldn't help but blame myself once again. I had thought of breaking up and if I hadn't...he'd still be with me...now I wasn't even sure if he was going to make it through the night...
A/N: Yeah that's it...the end of this chapter. Sorry it kinda sucked but now I'm going to at least get my typing time back because my grades were so good! Oh and be prepared for this story to end...yes I said end as in be complete. I think there will be possibly two more chapters but I'm thinking about making a sequel...should be fun but I'll see what you all think.
