Chapters 17 – Changing This Much

Shuichi still couldn't take the fact that his two best friends were taking away from him. He felt alone in this world. For five days straight, he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't let the doctor see his wounds, he wouldn't get up, he wouldn't go outside, hell, he wouldn't even let Yuki see him. Every time when Yuki would show up, Shuichi would scream and tell him to go away.

Yuki was really worried about Shuichi. What had this war done to him genki little pink hair baka? He used to be so cheerful and happy and now he looks so lifeless. He want his Shuichi back, damn the damn war.

&&&

Today, Yuki tried to visit Shuichi again; Yuki didn't want to run away anymore. His Shuichi is in a 'crazy' state and he have to do something to help him soon before he really goes 'Coo Coo'.

"Shuichi?" Yuki asked as he slowly walks into Shuichi's room.

Shuichi was sleeping. A rare scene since Shuichi usually spent most of his time staring into nothing and wouldn't rest.

Yuki slowly walks toward Shuichi, being extra careful not to wake Shuichi up or else he would be in trouble.

Yuki pulled up a chair beside the bed and stare down at Shuichi.

"Shuichi…" Yuki whispered.

Shuichi continued to snore.

Yuki use his thumb and began caressing Shuichi's cheek.

Shuichi stirred a bit but soon ignored the feeling on his cheek and went back to his dreamland

"Shuichi… you got to return back to your old self… I…" Yuki couldn't finish his sentence and settlings his head on the bed.

Shuichi slowly open his eyes to take get use to the light but soon bolted right up after seeing Yuki.

"Ahhhh! Go away!" screamed Shuichi.

Yuki didn't know what to do for a minute but soon recovered and put a hand over Shuichi's mouth.

Shuichi tried to struggle off but Yuki's hand didn't budged. Shuichi started to cry.

Yuki's heart broke in half. Yuki quickly let go of Shuichi's mouth and Shuichi pulled his knees up to his chest and put his head on his knee.

"Shuichi?" Yuki tried.

"GO AWAY!" Shuichi cried. "Please… just go away…'

"Shuichi, please! Don't be like this anymore. You know you are not doing yourself any good by just sitting here and feeling sorry for yourself! Move on! You are a big boy now! I know you are said because Ryuichi and Hiro are gone but they won't come back alive even if you continue to sit here everyday and cry your mind out." Yelled Yuki, who couldn't take Shuichi anymore.

Shuichi cried even harder.

'Opps… maybe I should have never yelled.' Thought Yuki

"I don't care! I… I just want them to be here! They are my best friends! I don't want them to leave me!" shouted Shuichi. "I want to die too!"

Shuichi began banging his head on the wall.

Yuki was horrified and quickly pulled Shuichi into a hug. Shuichi began to trash toward Yuki's chest.

"Please Shuichi; please return to your normal self again! I am sorry! I am sorry for everything! I should have never let you and Ryuichi and Hiro go last time. Please, forgive me Shuichi." Begged Yuki

Shuichi stopped trashing and hid his face in Yuki's neck.

"Shuichi?" asked Yuki softly.

Shuichi didn't reply and just pushed Yuki away.

Yuki was really concerned about his lover by now. One minute he was crying his heart out and the next he is acting cold.

"I want revenge! That guy! That guy from the Brick Kingdom! Is his entire fault! He killed Ryuichi! He killed my good friend! I will make him pay! I WILL MAKE HIM PAY!" Shuichi yelled.

'What have the war turned you into Shuichi?' thought Yuki, while staring at the yelling Shuichi.

&&&

Ever since then, Shuichi started to eat again and let the doctor help healed his wounds. But he turned colder… so cold that it even sent a shiver down Yuki's spine every time Shuichi made eye contact with him.

Shuichi had grew distanced, he doesn't talk as much now. He isn't even as cheerful as before. And during soldier practices, he would always go tough mode and take everything seriously. Hell, last time he almost killed his opponent while practicing kung-fu.

Shuichi had changed and Yuki didn't like it one bit. Shuichi was healthy again, but everything was so different about him now. He wouldn't even let Yuki touch him. Every time Yuki hug Shuichi, Shuichi always pushed Yuki away and make some stupid excuse up to go. Everything is different now… even their relationship.

&&&

In the meeting room…

"Over these few days your majesty, our army had showed great performances, I checked with the spies that the Brick Kingdom have the same amount of men as us left so if I am correct, today afternoon's battle would determine who will win the war." Said Tohma.

"Great job Wizard Tohma. Ok guys! This afternoon is the destiny battle! So I want you all to go out there and TRY TRY TRY!" yelled the king. "Am I understood?"

The generals, two princes and the wizard bowed down quickly. "Yes your highness."

&&&

All the soldiers were back in their camps getting ready to go. Shuichi had long since gotten ready. He was just sitting on the bed, staring at the war.

-Flashback-

"Nononononononono! That's not fair! It was on the board! It stuck to it! Well.. for a few seconds but still!" Shuichi wailed.

Suddenly, a hand was on Shuichi stopped crying at look at the owner of the hand.

"I will win a prize for you Shuichi, please don't cry anymore." Said that person.

"Shuichi smile at the owner of the hand.

"Now that's the smile I like to see!" said a cheerful Ryuichi.

"You are the best Ryuichi!" Shuichi gave Ryuichi a hug

-End of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"Yuki… YUKI!" Shuichi cried.

The door suddenly burst opened and Ryuichi went flying in.

Shuichi look up at surprise and before he can respond in any way, Ryuichi pulled Shuichi into a tight hug.

"Shuichi… Shhhhh… I heard you all the way down the hall… Is ok Shuichi… I am here now…" Ryuichi whispered in Shuichi's ear.

Shuichi was shock but hugged his friend back.

"All my friends are gone except you because of the war… Yuki and Hiro… even Tohma and Tatusha!" cried Shuichi.

"Shuichi… they are going to come back… I know you are sad…" Ryuichi said.

-End of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"No please Ryuichi… I can't live without… you are one of my best friends. I need you here to be with me. Please, don't leave me now." Begged Shuichi.

Ryuichi shook his head again. "Dying for Shuichi is my own choice. Is not your fault, beside, Yuki-sama is still waiting for you to go back."

Shuichi kept shaking his head and mumbling Nos.

"Shuichi, in my next life, I would like to be your friend again. Do you think we can meet again?" asked Ryuichi.

Shuichi quickly nodded. "Of course Ryuichi! We will be friends forever! You will always be in my heart. We will be friends again for sure."

"We… we will… be... Be… friends… for… forever…" Ryuichi smile at his friend one last time before closing his eyes… forever.

-End of Flashback-

"Ryuichi..." whispered Shuichi.

-Flashback-

"HEY! Shu-Chan! You awake in there?" his best friend called out to him

"HIRO! What are you doing here right now? I thought you were supposed to be on the battle field right now!" said the excited Shuichi.

Hiro smiled. "They only bought 30 armies with them to the battle field and fortunately, my army didn't' got picked" sigh Hiro in relief.

-End of Flashback-

-Flashback-

Shuichi smiled brightly as a figure walks into the meeting tent but what he saw was nothing he had ever expected.

Hiro's left hand was put in a cast. His legs are shaking, looking as though he would fall down any second. And not to mention blood were all over Hiro's soldier uniform.

Shuichi can only stared in surprise as he slowly walks toward his best friend.

"Hiro…" Shuichi whispered. Before gently putting his arms around Hiro's shoulders.

"Shuichi." Hiro hug his best friend back.

-End of Flashback-

"Hiro…" whispered Shuichi. "I missed you guys… please, where ever you guys are; watch over me while I am fighting."

-Flashback-

"Is ok my little Shuichi" whispered Yuki

Shuichi shook his head. "NO IS NOT GOING TO BE OK! I AM ALL ALONE NOW! MY MOTHER LEFT ME!"

"But I would always be here for you Shuichi!" said Yuki, pulling Shuichi closer to his chest.

Shuichi was stunned. Was this the prince Yuki he knew? But he didn't care at the moment... He felt safe some how…

-End of Flashback-

"Huh? Yuki…" Shuichi said in surprise. 'Now where did that come from?' thought Shuichi.

Shuichi quickly shook his head. "No! I can't think about him right now. I have something important to do. There is no time for this anymore. No… no more time for Yuki… no… no Yuki…"
