Hello! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! I know mine wasn't 100 great, but ….okay, why even bother to pretend? It sucked! Bottom line. The food was good, but the company was awful. So! Moving on! Lots of people seem to like this fanfic, I'm truly thankful for that and hope I can stay up in every ones good light and keep up to their standards. I know though I won't be able to please everyone. Thank you for all the support everyone. Now that, that is taken care of! Let's get the story on the road shall we?!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!! Well…I own this idea for the fanfic …eh sort of. And the words…::coughs nervously:: Oh well! Close enough!
Notes: Okay! Yuki will be known as Yuki. The other Yuki will be known as Yuki2, but, when people are talking to him and thinking and stuff, they aren't saying the 2. That's just there to eh well…clarify things. If that's confusing….I think something is wrong than.
Ch,3: Truths
"I can't believe you're still spitting up blood." Tohma said sadly sitting in a char next to Yuki's bed at the hospital. "They said the blood was from your nerves. And I thought the cause was Shuichi…,but obviously something else is triggering it." Tohma sighed and shook his head slowly. "I feel like an idiot now. Shu could be here trying to make you feel better, and I drove him off." Tohma went on, but Yuki could tell that Tohma was still glad that he'd gotten rid of Shuichi.
"Actually…" Yuki said slowly taking a few shaky breaths. He hadn't talked much sense he started spitting up blood again. "…I need you…to do me a favor…" he said quickly trying to get the words out before he started to spit more blood up again. Tohma was eager to please and nodded.
"What is it that you want me to do?" He asked earnestly. He'd do anything for his Yuki.
"I want you…." Yuki said closing his eyes. "To find out…if my brother and Shuichi are dating…and if they are….make my brother pay…" Tohma raised an eyebrow ,but Yuki had used up his free time and could no longer talk. He was spitting more blood up now. Tohma frowned starting to go over the words in his mind. Perhaps Shuichi was still the cause of this. If Shuichi had it somehow sent to Yuki, that Shuichi and Tatsuha were dating, than that would of course get to Yuki's nerves. Yuki would feel like he'd been replaced, and that would no doubt cause him to cough up blood.
"Alright." Tohma said sighing and getting to his feet. "I'll do it. I can't kill him, but I'll take care of things." Yuki gave a small nod and went back to doing what he was doing. Tohma took a slow and deep breath and walked out of the room. This wasn't going to be easy. Tatsuha was no easy person to deal with. Nor was Shuichi so it seemed. He had no idea where this was going to lead, but Tohma decided that he would no matter what the cost.
Shuichi blinked staring at all the fanmail all over the room. "What is this stuff?" He asked Hiro who was currently crying in a corner.
"It's mail from our fans…" Hiro said trying not to cry any louder.
"From what?" Shu asked a bit curiously as to why his friend looked like he was having a nervous breakdown.
"Congratulations to K and I!" Hiro screamed starting to bang his head against the wall. "K and I! We're not even officially going out! Everyone just LOVES our pairing though! Everyone, not one person sent a letter saying it was gross or wrong or anything!!!" Shuichi took a few steps back away from Hiro. He had finally snapped. :Finally someone joined me.: Shuichi thought to himself smiling.
He walked over to the other pile of letters in the room, these were addressed to Shuichi. He took one and opened it. It read:
Dear Shuichi-kun:
Wow! You and that other guy, Tatsuha, he's hot! You were right to dump Yuki-san and take him! Best of luck!
You fan: Kimi
Shuichi blinked and grabbed another letter
Dear Shindou-san:
That song rocked! I completely agree with you on how love can suck sometimes! Way to go on bagging that new hot guy though. He seriously is hot! Maybe not so much as Yuki-san, but definitely almost as good! I can't wait to see your next performance! I hope you have more great songs for us!
Your weird fan: Saemita
Shuichi dropped the letters back onto the floor and stared at them. :How dare they say that Tatsuha is better than Yuki?! No one is better than Yuki!: He screamed in his mind. "HOW THE FUCK DARE THERE?!" Everyone turned to look at Shuichi eyed wide. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE CAN EVEN THINK THAT! SURE TATSUHA DOESN'T FUCK AROUND WITH ME AS MUCH, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! I DON'T LOVE TATSUHA I…." Shuichi's voice started to trail off and he slumped back down onto the chair in the recording room. "I love Yuki…." Hiro sighed and got up out of his corner. His problem wasn't nearly as big as Shuichi's. He needed to get Shu's mind off all this stuff.
He walked over to Shuichi and sat down next to him putting his arm around his shoulders.
"Look Shu. Why don't we go hang out at some bar tonight? Okay, we'll get you hooked up with someone new and--"
"The last time you hooked me up…I nearly died of boredom." Shuichi put in leaning up against Hiro. Hiro twitched a bit and sighed.
"Well, you'll be their next to me. I'll just offer advice on the guys you see." Shuichi sighed and closed his eyes.
"I don't know Hiro…I really, really miss Yuki…I mean…I don't even know wha--"
"SHINDOU!" Shuichi's eyes widened and he almost fell off the chair and hit the floor. He winced and looked up at Tohma. :What the hell does he want?: Shuichi thought getting to his feet. :He already took Yuki away from me…does he want to take Hiro and badluck from me now to?: He thought to himself and glared at him.
"What?" Shuichi asked his voice very serious. Tohma stared at him a bit surprised. He hadn't heard the song last night, and only knew from what Yuki said, that Shuichi was acting weird. He didn't think it was this bad though.
"I need you to answer me a few questions." He said smiling an walked over to the chair and sat down. Hiro got to his feet glaring icily at Tohma.
"Haven't you done enough damage "boss"?" He asked folding his arms across his chest adding more drama to the glare. Tohma ignored him and looked to Shuichi a smile on his face.
"So, I heard you and Tatsuha were going out. Seems you were able to replace Yuki a lot quicker than I thought you'd be able to." He said smiling a bit and closing his eyes. "I guess he really didn't mean that much to you as we thought."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" Shuichi screamed and almost attacked Tohma, but K grabbed him.
"What right do you have to even question him." Hiro jumped in to save his best friend again. "You and that bastard Yuki are always fucking with him. I paid Tatsuha to go out with Shu for the dance concert ,because we needed dates fast. Ones that we could trust. Tatsuha was supposed to play Yuki, but changed his role a bit in the middle. Either way, it's your fault they broke up, and it's none of your business who Shu goes out with from now on. I don't give a damn if you are our boss. You've no right to butt into his personal life!" Hiro screamed starting to breath hard.
Everyone just stared at Hiro wide eyed. He seemed to have a lot to say on his mind these days. Shuichi figured that sense Ayaka found a new boyfriend, Hiro found he no longer needed to keep his mouth shut and to speak his mind. He also figured that Hiro was in much need as a new girlfriend as he was.
"Hey come on!" K pulled Shuichi back until he ran out of energy for the minute. "He's just messing around."
"Messing around?" Tohma asked laughing. "Not exactly. If you aren't going out with Tatsuha though, I suppose I have no reason for being here." Tohma said standing up and walking to the door.
"Yeah you're only the president of the company." Hiro said under his breath rolling his eyes. "No need to stay around for that right?" He added after Tohma walked out the door.
"Hiro." Hiro turned to face Shuichi quickly taking note of the very serious and cold tone in his voice.
"Yeah?"
"We're getting dates. And than, if Tohma tries to take either of them away, we hire an assassin to take care of him!" Shuichi screamed angrily. K let him go and Shuichi fell flat on his face from trying to pull away from him.
"I can do it!! I'll do it for free even!" K said happily and pulled out his sniper rifle.
"No!" Hiro screamed grabbing the gun. "Not yet! That's only if he breaks us up from our dates." K glared at him and pulled his gun back quickly.
"No one, touches my gun." Hiro sweat dropped at the look K was giving him and put his hands up backing away slowly.
"Guys, stop fooling around." Fujisaki said walking into the room. Everyone turned to look at him and shrugged. K put the gun away. "So. Have you any more ideas for another new song Shuichi?" Shuichi nodded.
"Of course. I write lyrics all the time."
"Okay…" Fujisaki said smiling a bit nervously. "Good lyrics."
"Oh." Shuichi said thinking for a minute. "Yeah, I have a few of those to." Hiro also sweat dropped at this. :A few?: Hiro thought to himself and forced it out of his mind. Now was not the time to wonder how many more depressing songs Shuichi had written.
"So. Work ends in a few hours. After than it's to the bar!" Hiro said smiling. "Are you with me fearless leader?!" He asked grabbing his guitar.
"All the way!" Shuichi screamed grabbing his mic.
"Tatsuha was just paid to go out with Shuichi. There is no official relationship between them." Tohma said into the phone. Yuki on the other line put his hand over the receiver and sighed in relief. He should of known Shuichi couldn't of replaced him that fast, especially with his brother.
"Okay. Thanks." Yuki said as though the answer really didn't matter to him.
"Maybe there are other reasons those doctors saw it fit for you to go to counseling." Tohma said laughing.
"Hey!" Yuki screamed back at him. Tohma just kept on laughing. "Whatever…the nurse is here. I have to go."
"Alright. Take care my sweet Yuki. I'll stop by and visit you tonight. Get well soon." Yuki rolled his eyes and hung the phone up. He took in another long drawn breath and looked down at the laptop he had, had his brother bring him up. He had thought it over quickly, and realized that if his brother really had started going out with Shuichi, he'd want the fun of hurting Tatsuha first.
He moved his finger down to the small photo print club of him and Shuichi that he'd put on the corner of his laptop. A small smile went across his face, but quickly vanished when the door was thrown open.
"Am I free to go now?!" Tatsuha demanded from his brother. Yuki had requested from the nurses that Tatsuha not leave until later on when he "felt" better. Yuki smirked and nodded.
"You're free to go. For now." Tatsuha sighed and pulled a chair over to his brother's bed.
"Look! I am not going out with Shuichi! I pulled that stupid stunt last night to make you jealous! I only went along with it, because Hiro is getting me a date with Ryuichi for doing this!" Yuki shrugged not caring.
"Get out. And stay away from Shuichi. He's not like you." Tatsuha stood up rolling his eyes.
"I don't know. If I found someone like Shu, who was totally dedicated to me. I'd give up on everyone else. I'd send them off and stay with them alone, not send them off along their way to have their hearts ripped out. But hey, that's just me bro." Tatsuha said smirking and walked out of the room. Yuki winced at the words and sighed turning back to his laptop again. He wasn't supposed to work, and he wasn't. He just wanted it because it has the photo print club picture of him and Shu on it. He let his finger go over the picture again.
"Shu--" His words were cut off as he jerked his head to the side and started spitting up blood again.
"Alright Shuichi. What about him?" Hiro asked for about the 40th time tonight. They'd been to 10 different bars, spoken to over 50 different guys and girls, and Shuichi was yet to find someone he thought would actually work out.
"To nice…" Shuichi said without a second thought seeing the guy smiling and having a good time.
"Shu you don't want someone mean…" Hiro said a bit nervously.
"I WANT YUKI!" Shuichi yelled out starting to cry. He went into chibi form and latched onto Hiro's arm. "Why does Yuki hate me so much???" Hiro sighed and pulled Shuichi off his arm.
"Shu, calm down. Look. Yuki doesn't hate you, he's just a stupid bastard that takes advice from the wrong people. Calm down. Okay?…………………okay?…..Shu?" Hiro looked back to Shuichi and found him spaced out. "Shuichi?"
"He's hot…." Shuichi said without a second thought and drooling staring at a guy that had just walked into the bar. Hiro followed Shuichi's eyes over to the person who'd just walked in. His eyes widened on the spot. The guy looked just like Eiri Yuki! A complete double almost, but he was staring at Shu and smiling. This couldn't be Yuki.
"Shu….you're no--" Shuichi pulled away from Hiro's hold and ran over to the guy.
"Hi!"
"So. This is where you've been hiding you idiot." Shuichi's eyes watered and he wondered if he was dreaming. Was his Yuki really coming back to get him??
"Never mind…" Hiro said staring at the guy. "This might actually be Yuki."
"Negative soldier. The real Yuki is in the hospital." Hiro fell out of his chair in shock hearing K right next to him.
"WARN A GUY NEXT TIME!!" Hiro screamed. K ignored him and repositioned himself in the booth.
"I don't know who this guy is. But he's been looking for Shuichi, and is a complete copy of Eiri Yuki himself."
"A impersonator maybe? Or Tatsuha?" Hiro asked K trying to find some logical explanation for this. K shook his head.
"Tatsuha is at home. An impersonator maybe, but if he did that. Than he knows every little detail of Yuki's life. Even things Shuichi doesn't." Hiro frowned.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"You really were looking for me?!" Shuichi asked eyes wide and smiling. Yuki2 rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Of course I was. I've been looking for you for awhile now. Stupid punk. You were supposed to meet me back at the house to celebrate your birthday. Remember? We couldn't do it on your birthday ,because I had that big meeting with Mizuki and the other editors?" Yuki2 said seeming to get a bit irritated.
:Maybe…maybe everything that went on…was all just a big nightmare.: Shuichi thought to himself hugging Yuki2. "Sorry. I forgot. There's just so much work…"
"You know. If you did forget, we can just go home. I lied. I was never going to take you out." Shuichi went into a chibi form and latched onto his arm.
"YUKI2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yuki2 winced and pushed Shuichi off his arm.
"Come on you idiot. Let's get out of here and go to that restaurant you like."
"Okay!" Shuichi said jumping up and down.
"They're leaving." Hiro said quickly getting to his feet and heading over to them.
"Okay! We need to go and stop them!" K added to Hiro's statement and followed.
"Hey!" Hiro yelled running over to them. Shu jumped at hearing Hiro's voice and relatched onto Yuki2's arm. Yuki2 looked over to Hiro death glaring him.
"What do you want?" Hiro glared back at him.
"Sense when do you care about where Shuichi is? I thought you two broke up." Yuki2 death glared him.
"You wish." He grabbed Shuichi's arm and started out of the bar.
"Wait!" Hiro shouted ,but Yuki2 was already out the door and had Shuichi with him.
"Should we report this as a kidnapping?" K asked Hiro curiously. Hiro blinked a few times and wondered the same thing.
"I have no idea…I mean…we think that's Yuki…,but it's not. You said he's in the hospital. That guy seems to know how Yuki acts, and Shuichi's birthday to…"
"Come on!" K grabbed Hiro by the wrist and ran out of the bar. "Let's find out what's going on!" They both ran out of the bar at top speed after Yuki2 and Shuichi.
"So Yuki2!!! Which restaurant are we going to?!" Shuichi asked bouncing up and down in the car. Yuki2 glared at him and hit him aside the head.
"Stop making a fool out of yourself. We're going to Akihabara."
"AKIHABARA?!" Shuichi asked excitedly. "WE GET TO PLAY GAMES! AND BUY TOYS!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shu started jumping up and down more and singing. Yuki2 rolled his eyes and kept on driving. :At least he's in a good mood.: Yuki2 thought to himself. Yuki2 flipped on the radio of his car and paled his blood running cold hearing the song.
"The stars in the sky
Remind me of a past that's faded from my eyes
What is it on this cold shadow filled night
That I am trying to remember?"
"Shuichi…?" Yuki2 asked turning to look at him. Shuichi was no longer jumping around. He had his head lowered and was looking down at the seat of the car.
"Y, yeah?" Yuki2 pulled over into a parking lot and turned the car off, than stared at him.
"What's up with this song?" Yuki2 asked him. Shuichi fidgeted in his seat more and tried to open the door to the car. Yuki2 glared at him and hit the automatic lock button. Shuichi sighed and looked up at him.
"I thought you hated me…so…I…I got depressed and…wrote this song…and than sang it." Yuki2 sighed and undid Shuichi's seat belt. He grabbed him and pulled him over to his side of the car.
"I don't know what the hell is going on here. Everyone seems to think I hate you…well stop thinking that. You're mine. We've been over this before, I thought we had settled this a few months ago." Shuichi blushed deeply and relaxed in Yuki2's embrace. This was the first time Yuki had ever done anything this nice for him. He sighed contently and snuggled up closer to him.
"Yuki2..." Yuki2 smiled and wrapped his arm around Shuichi's shoulder.
"Now. Let's get the hell out of here." Yuki2 started the car back up and started driving to their destination.
