Lover Never Dies
Chapter 3
"Remember"
(Yuki's thoughts)
"Why is this happening to me? Everyone I love always gets hurt but this time its not because of me……oh Shuichi you have such a strong will, please hold on, for God's sake hold on……..wait a second, K never told me why you were coming back to my place."
Yuki looked up and glared at K, who was sitting with his back towards him, reading a magazine.
"Hey, Mr. K" Yuki called out in a cold voice.
K put the magazine down and turned his head to face him, placing his left arm over the seat, "Hmm?" he asked, it took several moments before Yuki spoke, "Why was Shuichi coming back to my place?" he asked.
"I ordered him to run back and get the lyrics." K answered, kind of confused about what Yuki was getting at, but the word lyrics ringed in Yuki's head.
"You know, if you didn't force him this wouldn't of happened." Yuki glared at him and K returned the glare.
Hiro immediately jumped up between them, "Hey guys, its no one's fault, K had no idea this would happen-"Hiro was silenced by Yuki, "QUIET! I didn't ask for your opinion!" Yuki snapped which cause Hiro to stand his ground.
"Well don't go around blaming people, if anyone, blame the man who almost killed Shuichi." Hiro stated, firmly staring at Yuki who just now stood up.
Yuki was about to say something when the door opened, revealing the same doctor from before, "May I speak with Hiro?" he said sadly
Hiro turned around and nodded, walking up to him. The doctor had him step outside and whisper something to him, making Hiro jump back in shock. Yuki saw his reaction and asked, "What's wrong now?"
Hiro took off for Shuichi's room after hearing the news, which the others followed soon after.
(Shuichi's point of view)
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around to see where I was. I was in a white bed and seemed to be strapped down, "Where am I?" I thought to myself but I tried to remember but I couldn't. I looked at the sign on the end of my bed and it said, "Shindo Shuichi"
I paused for a moment and thought, "That must be my name, but someone please tell me how I got here!" I started to panic and I had tremendous pain all over my body, I wanted to scream but nothing came.
Just then the door opened and a man with long brown hair was staring at me in shock, I wonder if he knows what's going on, "Hey mister, do you know why I'm here?" I asked and the guy just looked at me dumbfounded, "You…..you don't remember who I am Shuichi?" he asked me.
All I knew now was that my name was Shuichi and I sighed, "What's your name?" I asked him kindly, coughing in the process, it's like I couldn't talk and man why do my lungs hurt so much??
"My name is Hiro, I'm your best friend." He said, almost panicked and kneeled next to me, starring me in the eyes, "For a best friend I don't remember you, are you sure we've met?" I asked him and I saw tears forming in his eyes.
"No Shuichi, oh my…..I'm your best friend, you're the lead vocalist in the band Bad Luck, and you have a boyfriend named-" I cut the crazy guy off after that last comment, "Boyfriend? Since when do I have that, now I know for sure you don't know me, I don't like men, that's just weird!" I said as loud as I could, this guy was psycho!
(end of point of view)
Hiro was in a state of shock, oh no he thought, "If he doesn't remember who Yuki is, how will he take it?" Hiro heard the door open again and the three rushed in.
"What's wrong Hiro?" Suguru asked. Hiro slowly stood up, "Ask him, that is, if he remembers you." Hiro moved so Yuki could talk to him.
Yuki touched Shuichi's hand and smiled, "You're alright!" he said but noticed the frown on the boys face, "Why are you touching me, you pervert!" Shuichi started to get his voice back and yelled at him. Yuki jumped back a bit and was very confused, "Shuichi, it's me Yuki."
Shuichi glared at him, "I don't know you, I don't know any of you-" he was cut off when he looked at K. "Hey K! How's it going?" Shuichi smiled and looked at him. Everyone looked at him, not even K could explain it.
"How do you remember me Shuichi?" K asked
Shuichi thought about it and said, "Well somehow I recognize you and I know your name is K, and you're nice to me." Shuichi smiled, "But I don't remember how I met you and stuff, but I'm sure I will eventually." Shuichi yawned, "Hey guys, I'm getting really tired, please leave, thanks, good bye K." Shuichi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The four of them left the room to do something thinking together. "Ok so how come he can remember the manager he's had for like 2 years but he can't remember his best friend who he's known since kindergarten??" Hiro said angrily, wanting to know why.
"It doesn't make sense." Suguru said, thinking of an explanation.
"Hey guys, think about it." K said, and the three looked at them, "Who was the last person out of the four of us Shuichi saw?" he asked, the three thought about it but Suguru spoke up first, "It was you K! Cause you practically shoved him out of the place, maybe that's why he remembers you!"
Hiro smiled, "Then he should be able to remember Suguru and I soon right?" he asked, "There's a possibility." K smiled.
The three stopped and looked at Yuki, who had a gleam of sadness in his eyes, "No, K wasn't the last person he saw……it was me, how come he forgot me so fast?" he asked but before the others couldn't answer, Yuki turned around the other direction and started to walk away.
"Hey where are you going?" Hiro asked.
Yuki didn't turn around or respond, just kept on walking.
"Hey Hiro, he must be leaving, the exit is that way." Suguru said, Hiro sighed.
"Let him be, we'll inform him of any progress Shuichi makes, in the mean time lets get something to eat." K said and the other two just sighed and followed him out of the hospital.
It's a mystery on why Shuichi can only remember K… but will his memory come back to remember his friends? And his lover? All this and more will be answered soon….. till next time…
