Chapter 10
Loves Betrayal.
Shuichi finally made it back to Yuki's house. He had to get his things out of here and he didn't have a choice about it. He sighs out and looks around at all his belongings. He has more here then he thought he ever did. He walks off towards the bedroom. Figures he will start there and get that out of the way.
Once he enters, he walks over to the T.V. and turns it on for background noise while he packs. He walks over to the closet door, opens it, and reaches up to grab his suit cases off the top. He tugs on the one. "I think it is stuck." he says, pulling harder. He places his feet on the wall and tugs harder. He continues to pull and then suddenly thud. He hits the floor hard with his butt. He looks up just in time to see everything falling towards him.
"Itai…itai… itai." he cries out from under the objects.
He pulls himself out and looks at everything that fell on him. There were a couple of books, a photo album, some clothes, shoe boxes with pictures, and the suitcases. He looks up just as a bowling ball came falling towards him. He quickly scrambles out of the way. He looks back at the ball and gets a confused terrified look on his face. "Where did Yuki get that? And why have I never seen it before? When did Yuki start bowling?" he asks himself out loud.
He just shakes it off and proceeds to pick up the suit cases and drag them over to the bed. He lays them on the bed and stares at the bed longingly. Never again would he see this bed….or the person that slept in it. He sighs out and opens his suit cases. He didn't realize the salty river flowing rapidly down his face.
He goes about packing the things in the bedroom from the clothing to pictures of him and Yuki, him and Hiro, him and Bad Luck. He sighs as he puts them away. He couldn't believe the dramatic change his life was enduring at the moment. Too much pressure for one kid to deal with.
"This just in…" a television announcer interrupts the program " But we just got word that the guitarist for Bad Luck, Nakano Hiroshi, was found…." that was all that was said before the electricity went out. Shuichi's eyes had gotten wide as he was watching that. He was about to get up when the television set came back on. "Sad news to the nation. We will keep you updated." the woman says before the screen turned back to the program he was listening to.
His eyes got bigger then saucers as he then begins to flip through the stations. This couldn't be happening…not now…or ever for that matter. He flips to the news station and waits for something to come back on about it. He looks at the clock and realizes that the news should be on at anytime. He has stopped everything that he was doing and is watching the T.V. intently.
"Please don't let anything be wrong with him." he says as he picks up the phone to call the redhead.
'The number you have dialed is busy. Please try back later." the phone says then hangs up on Shuichi.
"What the..?" he asks then dials the number again.
He gets the same message. He hangs up and dials the number for Hiro's cell phone. All he gets there is the voice mail. He closes the phone and the tears well up in his eyes. He's always able to get a hold of Hiro no matter what. The tears begin to slowly fall down his face as he buries his head in his hands.
"We have word on Nakano Hiroshi. Reports say that he has been rushed to Tokyo General. The extent of his wounds was a single gunshot wound to the side of the head. Medical teams are working hard to save this young man. Hopefully we won't lose such a talented young musician. We will keep you up to date with what is going on." she says before signing off.
Too bad Shuichi didn't hear it though, as soon as he heard Hospital and Hiro he was out the door. "You can't die on me, Hiro. If you do, I don't know what I will do without you." he says out loud as he is running. He can feel the tears beginning to brim the corners of his eyes.
He gets to the hospital in record time. He bursts through the front door and goes straight for the receptionist's desk. He places his hand on the counter and asks "Can you please tell me where I can find Hiro?"
"Does your friend…." she was going to ask. She then realizes who this young man is. "I'm very sorry Shindou-san. Nakano Hiroshi is not out of surgery yet." a sympathetic look coming across her face.
"Is he going to be alright?" he asks shakily.
"As of this point in time I do not know. The surgeons had to bring him back a total of four times already. To be truthful with you, I don't think that he will make it." she says feeling bad that she had to even say something like that to him.
"H…H….Hai." he stammers out. The tears quickly release from his eyes and spill freely down his cheeks. She subconsciously turns and goes over to the waiting area. "This is all my fault." he thinks outwardly. "IF I hadn't said those things then none of this would have happened." he says just as fresh tears fall.
"I will let the doctor know that there is someone here for Nakano-san." she says.
Shuichi didn't hear a thing that she said. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out his phone. He presses the number to the only person that was still talking to Hiro…..Yuuji. He presses the phone to his ear and hopes that the older man would answer.
When there was no answer on the other end, he leaves a detailed message on what is going on and he tells him that he needs to get his ass here now.
He hangs up the phone and places the phone in his lap as his hand fly up to his face when new tears begin to fall. 'Why is this happening? I don't know if I can handle this…and if he dies I will have to live with this forever.' he thinks to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted when a man that looks like Hiro comes through the doors. Shuichi looks at the man and the tears begin to fall faster. He finds himself launched out of the chair and attached to the older mans waist. "Oh Yuuji….Hiro might die." he sobs into Yuuji's waist.
The older one was a little shocked at this and then reaches down and places a hand on the top of Shuichi's head. "He isn't going to die and you know that. He is too stubborn to die. Calm down, Shu-chan. Tell me everything that you know." the older man says, picking Shuichi up off the floor and walking over to the chairs. He sets Shuichi down in a chair and sits next to him.
Shuichi begins to tell the other what had happened. He starts from the beginning and tells him everything, up to the point where he heard everything on the news and what the receptionist told him.
Yuuji sat back and listened to the younger man's story. His eyes grew dark at the things that Shuichi was forced to say to his brother. "So do you know who these men were?" he asks.
"No…all I know is that I had to do what they told me to do. I feared if I didn't then harm would come to those that I love." he says before breaking out into new sobs. "I didn't mean for this to happen."
"It isn't your fault. Don't worry, Shuichi, we will find out who is behind this." he says, placing a soothing hand on the others back.
About an hour and a half later the doctor comes out to the two men. "Which on of you is here for Nakano Hiroshi?" he asks.
"We both are, Doctor. How is my brother?" he asks, looking up at the doctor.
"He is stable for the moment. But it doesn't look good for him at all. We are trying to keep him stable at the moment. He slipped into a coma instantly after surgery. Right now, all we can do is hope for the best." the doctor stated.
Both men gasped at what the doctor says. They both couldn't believe that this was happening…and to Hiro of all people.
"Can we see him?"
"One at a time, you can. I'm terribly sorry that there wasn't more that we could do." he says, bowing and taking his leave.
"You go and see him first, Shuichi. He would want to hear from you first." he says soothingly.
Shuichi looks up at Yuuji and nods his head. "Thank you." he says just above a whisper.
He stands up from his seat and looks towards the hall. His hands begin to shake and his knees felt as if they were going to give out on him. The doctor places a reassuring hand on Shuichi's shoulder and begins to lead him to Hiro's room.
Shuichi walked with the doctor very unsure on how he was able to keep standing. The doctor led him to the room and then goes about his business. Shuichi stands at the door and just stares at it. He wants to enter it but then again he doesn't want to see what is on the other side.
He takes a deep breath and opens the door slowly. He steps into the room and closes the door behind him. He is still looking at the door, afraid of what he might see when he turns around. He stands there for a few minutes taking deep, long, soothing breaths.
'I can do this. This is all my fault anyways. I have to face the fact…' he thinks to himself. He takes one more breath in before turning around. His eyes get a bit wide at the site before him. He didn't imagine for it to be like this at all.
There in the bed in the middle of the room, lays his best friend, clinging to life. There are tubes and wires coming from everywhere that there could be one. There was a white bandage wrapped around his best friend's head and it also looked like there was some hair missing.
He could feel the fresh tears beginning to form again. His best friend looks like shit and it is all his fault. He slowly makes his way to the bed. He now hears the noise from the machines as they monitor everything on the red head. He walks over and pulls up a chair to sit close to his best friend. He shakily reaches out his hand and takes a hold of Hiro's.
The tears begin to fall down his face harder then before. He tilts his head and looks at his friend lovingly. At the moment he couldn't bring himself to speak. He lowers his head and places his forehead on their hands.
"I'm so sorry for everything. If not for you then I don't know where I would be today. You know that you are the most important thing in the world to be. You can't die, Hiro, and you know this. What is this going to do to your parents, brother, fans, and mostly me? Everyone will eventually get over this. I don't think that this is something that I will get over that easily. You know how hard I take things." he says through a sob.
"You remember when we were younger and I had adopted that squirrel that lived in the Maple tree? And you remember how it was when I found him two days later in the road? I still haven't gotten over that. Now can you imagine how I would be if you were to up and leave me like that? I couldn't handle it, Hiro. I can't even muster the fact that I'm technically not supposed to be talking to you at the moment." he says, lifting his head to look at his friend.
He reaches his free hand up and brushes Hiro's face softly. A small smile forms on his lips. "Oh man…I hate to be the doctor that cut your hair cause I know that you are going to throw a fit when you wake up out of this." he says, trying to calm his nerves a bit.
"If he wakes up from this." came a familiar voice from the doorway. Shuichi swung his head around quickly and glares at the man in the entrance.
"What are you doing here?" he spits out.
The blond looks up at him and smiles. "He is a friend of yours and I heard about the terrible thing on the news. I figured I would come here to see if he was doing alright and to make sure that you were holding up alright." he says.
"Get out…." Shuichi growls out.
"Now is that any way to talk to me?" he asks with a mock shocked look on his face.
"Get out…." Shuichi says again.
"My, my, what a temper you have, Shindou-san."
"GET OUT NOW!"
A familiar smile formed on the others face and he nods his head. "As you wish, but just remember what you are to do and what you aren't to do."
Shuichi felt his eye twitch. He stood up from his chair and balled his fist. He would pounce if the blond got any closer to Hiro.
"Don't be late for work in the morning." the blond says before exiting the door.
After the blond left, Shuichi turns around and sits back down in the chair. He retakes Hiro's hand and lays his head next to his friend. He places a hand on the others cheek and caresses it a bit. "Hiro, if you wake up from this I promise you, as your best friend, that I will begin to listen to you about everything and I will be more careful." he whispers to his friend. "But if you just give up then I will give up as well. Cause we both know that without you there is no me." he whispers out and begins to cry silent tears.
Before too long he falls asleep with his head still next to his best friend.
Yuuji began to wonder what was taking Shuichi so long. He looks at his watch and realizes that Shuichi has been in there for a little over an hour. He gets up and goes to the desk and asks for his brother's room. The woman smiles at him and points him off in the direction of the room and the room number. He thanks her and then walks off towards his brother and Shuichi.
While walking to the room he passes a doorway. From behind the doorway he hears "It wasn't successful so you have to move on to the final step."
Yuuji stops and then enters the door rather abruptly. He glares at the man behind the door and says "What the hell are you talking about?"
The man casually looks up at him and smiles. "I don't know what you are talking about.."
"I heard what you said. Who the hell are you talking to and what the fuck are you talking about?" he spits out.
"I am talking to a business associate about construction business." the man replies.
Yuuji gives the man an unsure look and then walks out. He isn't too sure if he should trust this guy or not. There was something that wasn't fitting together with that. He shakes it off and takes it as he is over reacting.
He finally makes it to the room and enters it. There he sees his baby brother and Shuichi. They both look very peaceful sleeping, except for the cords, tubes and beeping noise from the machine. He walks over and looks at his brother and shakes his head. "What did you get yourself into this time gutei-san?" he asks.
He reaches a hand out and strokes his brothers face and shakes his head.
"Visiting hours are now over. The hours run 8 am to 10 pm . Thank you for visiting Tokyo General, hope to see you again soon." an announcement says.
Yuuji sighs and reaches out to wake Shuichi. "Shuichi, we have to leave now." he says gently.
Shuichi stirs in his sleep and slowly opens his eyes. "I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with him." he whines out.
"You aren't allowed to stay. You have to leave now. How about I take you back to my house and we will get here nice and early tomorrow?" he says in a soothing manner.
Shuichi tries to protest but knows that it will be worthless. "Alright. But as long as we are here when we are allowed to come back." he says.
Yuuji nods his head and stands back so that the other can stand.
Shuichi stands up and takes one last look at his friend. "I love you, Hiro, and you better remember that. I will be back as soon as they let me. I promise you that." he says, leaning forward and kissing his friend's forehead.
He stands back up and looks at Hiro's brother. "Alright, we can go now." he says unsure of even wanting to leave.
Yuuji smiles at him and then wraps an arm around his shoulder and leads him out of the room. "First thing in the morning…I promised you this. I will not break that to my brother's best friend." he says, walking Shuichi out of the hospital and to his car. Once they get there he opens the door for Shuichi and then goes and gets in on the other side. He speeds off towards his house.
Unbeknownst to the two men leaving, a dark figure entered the room of Hiro. The figure looks down at the red head and smirks a bit. "Even when you sleep you are still trouble. Well, from this day forward you will no longer be a problem." it says.
The figure pulls something out of his pocket and injects it into the IV attached to the others arm.
Without another second's notice the dark figure disappears from the room. About 15 seconds later the heart monitor loses the heart beat of the guitarist.
