Love never dies

Chapter 4

"Things to think about"

"Hmm, it really bothers me...how can Shuichi remember K and not Yuki? He saw Yuki just before he lost his memory, it doesn't make any sense." Hiro pondered while Suguru took a bit of his ham and cheese sandwich.

"Well we surely can't ask Shuichi now can we?" Suguru said looking at Hiro. K just looked out of the window and thought of something, " May it wasn't the last person he saw, maybe it was just something he thought about or just happened to remember, I don't think anyone can explain it." K said, still looking out the window.

"It sounds logical...." Suguru said and looked over at Hiro who was playing with his blue jello. Suddenly Hiro chuckled, "Hey what's so funny?" Suguru asked and K turned to look at what was going on.

"Shuichi hates the color blue, even though he wears it sometimes.... but he did like blue jello and when we were little I told him that if he ate too much blue jello his hair would turn from pink to blue, I don't think he's eaten blue jello ever since." Hiro's laughter calmed down and Suguru and K just smiled. At least Hiro was feeling better mentally.

The only two people that K was concerned about with Shuichi were Hiro and especially Yuki. "Well hey guys" K got up and stretched, "I'm going to call Tohma and let him know what's going on." he said while the other two just continued eating.

"Hiro, do you think Yuki is going to be alright if Shuichi doesn't remember him? Yuki doesn't seem to like him much so-" Suguru stopped when Hiro glared at him, "Yuki may not show it but I know he deeply cares for Shuichi, I don't know what he'll do, all I know is I'm going to make Shuichi remember if its the last thing I do." Hiro said and got up.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Suguru turned around in his seat and Hiro stopped, "I'm going to go see Shuichi."

(Shuichi's dream)

Shuichi was running through pure darkness, not knowing where he was going. All of a sudden he heard voices, getting louder as he ran, music of some sort was echoing and it sounded like his own voice. Just then images of people he didn't remember started to fly past him as he ran.

There was the guy with long brown hair he saw earlier who was telling him he would always be there for him, a guy with dark green hair playing a keyboard and just looked at Shuichi, a guy with long blonde hair who he knew as K pointing a gun at him, telling him to get the lyrics and right at the end stood a guy with short blonde hair and golden eyes smiling at him.

To Shuichi he seemed like an angel and he thought he had seen him somewhere before. Shuichi ran towards him but the image just backed away from him, no matter how fast he ran he couldn't catch up him with him when suddenly he awoke.

Shuichi wanted to sit up but couldn't move and started to panic, and then remembering where he was, "Hey Shuichi, you feeling better?" asked the figure sitting in a chair across from him, "Yeah kinda, hey do you know how long I've been in the hospital?" Shuichi asked him, "Not even a day yet, you were in an accident earlier and lost your memory." Hiro said slowly so Shuichi would understand him.

"I was in an accident?" Shuichi's eyes grew big, "Then how come I don't remember?" he asked but thought about what this guy told him.

"I'm not trying to freak you out here or anything but the reason I know you is because I'm your best friend." Hiro told Shuichi again, "Oh yeah, I think you told me that earlier." Shuichi looked at him

"Are you sad?" Shuichi asked him and Hiro looked down, "Yeah, its just I've known you for so long and you don't remember."

"I'm sorry, I'll try and remember." Shuichi said and took a deep breath. Just then Hiro got an idea, "Hey Shuichi I know what might help! Now don't go anywhere, wait a minute you can't because you're here and ok I'll shut up now, I'll be back later!" Hiro smiled as he left the room in a hurry.

Shuichi thought to himself, "My best friend is crazy...."

Tohma was looking over some papers at his desk when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked to see who it was, "Hello Mr. K, where have you and the others gone?" Tohma asked curiously

"Well about that, Shuichi got into an accident and was rushed to the hospital." K said and a million thoughts all at once rushed through Tohma's mind.

"Is he alright?" Tohma asked, "Yeah he'll be fine but the twist to all of his is he lost him memory." K said, while walking down the busy streets of Tokyo.

Tohma thought about Yuki, "Does Eiri know?" he asked in a worried tone.

"Yeah, Mr. Yuki came to visit him and spoke with him before Shuichi lost his memory but left because once the news got around that Shuichi had complications and lost his memory, Shuichi didn't remember him." K took a breath and wondered how this would affect Tohma.

K heard Tohma whisper shit then he spoke, "Does he remember anyone?"

"Yeah he remembers me, so I think this whole memory loss is temporarily." K said blankly

"Good, I'll go see Eiri and we'll talk about how to make Shuichi remember him, I'm not going to see him suffer again, we'll I'm going to go, good day K." Tohma hung up and rested his head in the palm of his right hand.

Tohma thought, "Eiri, why does this have to happen to you?" Here, his best friend was suffering again. Tohma knew that Eiri loved Shuichi deep down even though he wouldn't admit it and would stop at nothing to help him and Mr. Shindo.

Tohma made a few phone calls before he grabbed his coat and headed out of his office to visit Eiri.

Tohma unlocked the door and entered the home, "Eiri?" he called out and looked around, no answer. He didn't see Yuki's keys or shoes so he figured he was still out. He decided to wait for his friend and walked into the living room.

Tohma noticed pictures on the wall, something Yuki never did. They were pictures of him and Shuichi, in all of them Yuki had his arm around Shuichi who was smiling and Yuki frowned in all of them.

Tohma knew how much love they shared and knew how they felt. Just then the door opened and Eiri came in and stopped when he saw Tohma, "I really should take away everyone's key so I can have some privacy." Yuki said coldly and walked up to Tohma, "Well hello brother, I just came to discuss with you about Mr. Shindo."

Yuki shivered at his name and he began to rub his right arm, "Um, what about him?" he asked.

"How are you dealing with it?" Tohma asked while Yuki sat down, "Oh Tohma I don't know how to handle this, he doesn't remember me at all, I don't know what to do." Yuki said sadly while Tohma took a seat next to him, "I have some ideas, usually those who forget their memory, people gives them objects or pictures to help them remember a certain person, that's what we'll do." Tohma smiled and Yuki looked at him teary eyed, "I'm surprised I didn't think of that." Yuki chuckled and got up.

"Where are you going?" Tohma asked

"To gather things for Shuichi." Yuki answered and left the room.

(sniff sniff) Shuichi doesn't remember Yuki…. What will happen? And what does Hiro have up his sleeve? Hmm… Till next time….
