Chapter 6 – Only the Beginning
The Real World...
Things had been really bad for the Gravitation gang. It had been 3 days since Shuichi was missing.
(Author's Note: The ghost world and the normal world's time passed by differently.)
Author Yuki, of course, had already found out about this since the popular 'Bad Luck' vocalist had been missing right before a concert. The news was all over the media around Japan. Tohma was ALMOST the most worried about Shuichi, since his number one vocalist under N-G was missing.
After Shuichi had disappeared, Yuki, Tohma, Ryuichi and Tatusha quickly flew to New York to join the search. The polices had already checked the airport for any signs of Shuichi went to another country, but they had came back empty handed.
Tohma had also hired private detectives and all kinds of other people to look around New York. A five hundred thousand dollars reward was also putted up; all paid by Tohma, for anyone that can find Shuichi and also two hundred dollars to everyone that provides real and useful information on this case.
Yuki was so frustrated these three days. Shuichi was missing. Polices were asking a bunch of questions. Hiro would pace around the room. Sakano would turn to a tornado. K would run over to open the door whenever it rings. Ryuichi would cry in the corner while holding his little bunny. They all annoy him so much.
Yuki wanted to help find Shuichi so much, but he doesn't know what else he can do. He had already walked around the whole New York, searching in warehouses, stores, knocking on houses to ask information, walk down alleys… But there was still no sign of Shuichi anywhere.
It's already night and the whole gang decided to eat out in a restaurant, Tohma's treat of course. But no one had ordered anything to eat since they don't have any appetites. They were al just looking at the menus, thinking about how Shuichi would have already ordered everything on the menu if he was here right now.
"Where the hell is he!" Yuki finally shouted out, catching the attention of the whole restaurant.
"Calm down Aniki, yelling like that wouldn't bring back Shuichi." Tatusha said
"What do you know! He had already been missing for three days! THREE DAYS! A lot of things could have happened in three days! What if the kidnappers decided to kill Shuichi after seeing how the whole New York is searching for Shuichi? Shuichi might be dead right now! And we are just sitting here, eating!" Yuki yelled, while sending glares to everyone around the table.
"We understand how you are feeling right now Yuki, but there is nothing we can do more except to wait since we have no clue on this whole thing." Hiro said.
"I thought you were his best friend! You should be really concern right now! Not just sitting here!" Yuki snapped.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW I AM NOT WORRIED AND CONERNED RIGHT NOW? YOU ARE RIGHT! I AM HIS BEST FRIEND! I DON'T WANT TO JUST SIT HERE EITHER YUKI! I WANT TO FIND SHUICHI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TOO! BUT THERE IS NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO!" Hiro yelled back.
Fujisaki sweatdropped. "Um… shouting in the restaurant won't help find Shuichi either. You are just making a scene…"
"WHO ASKED YOU!" Yuki and Hiro said in union.

Back to Shuichi…
When Shuichi finally woke up this time, he was alone in the room. Shuichi's head was hurting so badly. He was really confused. He doesn't know should he believe all those things Tohma said or not. All of them sounded so serious. They do look like his friends but somehow Shuichi can feel that they are different somehow but they won't harm him. Shuichi's mind was filled with unanswerable questions. Could they be playing a joke on him? But Mika doesn't seem like the kind that would joke like that. And what about Kyle and Kiyo? And the whole castle thing also. There is no way they can plan this so well since this place really is restricted. What about all those other dreams that he had had? Beside, there is no way that Yuki can talk to him in his dreams unless he is not human. All these questions are really giving Shuichi a big headache. He doesn't know anything anymore.
Shuichi sat up and look around. Good thing he is alone right now so it would give him sometime to think about the whole situation without getting all confused again.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
'So much for being alone.' Shuichi thought sarcastically.
"You may come in." Shuichi said.
A female entered with a tray of food and some cloths.
"Shuichi-kun, Yuki-sama had specifically asked me to bring you these cloths and food." The female said.
Shuichi nodded. "Thank you so much."
The female smile at Shuichi. "And also, Yuki-sama requested for your presence during dinner later tonight."
Shuichi was shock. 'Oh just great. I don't want to see Yuki yet. I still haven't figured everything out yet. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Shuichi thought.
"Shuichi-kun?" The female asked worriedly.
Shuichi turn to look at her. "Yes?"
The female smile again. "Will you accept the request?"
Shuichi thought for a minute. 'Well, if they are really playing a joke on me, I can confront them tonight. Beside, Yuki want me to eat with him.'
Shuichi smile at the female. "Yes, I do accept."
The female bowed down and left the room.
'If this is a joke Yuki, you are really doing a great job, hiring some actors to be slaves and serve.' Shuichi thought. 'Well, might as well get up anyways, is not like sitting here will do me any good. I will take a walk around the castle.'
With that, Shuichi got up and started to dress.
&&&
"This castle is so big!" Shuichi said as he walks down the hallways. "There has to be over 400 doors! And all of the stairs leads to different part of the castle! Aaawwww, I wish my house of this big! Tohma sure is willing to spend a lot of money in order to play a joke on me eh?"
"Na no na no na no, Na no na no da!" someone sang.
Shuichi looked around, the voice was coming from the room just ahead so Shuichi decided to check it out.
When he opened the door, what Shuichi saw was so surprising that he was about to faint again. Ryuichi, his God, has he hair tied back, washing cloths…
"Ryu… Ryuichi?" Shuichi said.
Ryuichi looked up from the washing board and smile when he saw Shuichi.
"Shuichi!" Ryuichi happily said.
Shuichi walk over and took a seat beside Ryuichi.
"Why are you washing cloths?" Shuichi asked.
"Don't you remember? O ya, you don't…. I am Prince Tatusha's servant. I do all his chores and take care of all his things. These are Prince Tatusha's cloths." Ryuichi said.
Shuichi only stare at Ryuichi.
"Shuichi?" Ryuichi said confusedly.
"Ryuichi… we are great friends right?" Shuichi asked.
Ryuichi nodded.
"You would tell me if you guys are playing a prank on me right?" Shuichi asked.
Ryuichi nodded again.
"Then… can you tell me the truth this time?" Shuichi said,
"The truth?" Ryuichi said confusedly.
Shuichi nodded. "I know this must be a joke right? I don't like this anymore. I know that once I tell you guys that I believe this whole thing… you guys will start laughing at me. Especially Tohma and Yuki. I know I can be an idiot sometimes but I am not as stupid as this! I have feelings too you know."
Ryuichi suddenly turned really serious. "Shuichi, what more do you want me to say? Is either you believe it or you don't. If you don't believe us, no matter what we say, you will still not believe us. So, what's the point? But I can tell you one thing for sure, this is for real."
Shuichi was taken back from the sudden serious of Ryuichi.
"Remember Shuichi? You used to be King Yuki's personal servant too. We used to do their chores together, to keep each other company. I really miss the old time." Ryuichi said.
"I was Yuki's servant?" Shuichi asked.
Ryuichi nodded. "We first met at the morning in the kitchen when we were both getting breakfast for the two princes. I remember you were only 8 back then. Very cute and innocent."
Shuichi was silent.
Ryuichi sighed. "Where has the years gone by?"
"Sorry, I have to go." Shuichi quickly got up and ran out the door.

In the hallway…
"I can't believe Ryuichi is saying this. But, he didn't look like he was lying at all." Shuichi said. "Ryuichi would laugh for sure if he was really joking, right?"
Shuichi leaned against the wall for support. "This whole thing is making me dizzy. I wish Hiro was with me right now, he would know just what to say." Shuichi whined.
Shuichi was silence for a moment. "Oh ya! Hiro! He will tell me what is going on here. Hiro and Tohma never really gotten along anyways, he will tell me if Tohma is really playing a prank on me or not!"
Shuichi was about to run when he suddenly remember that he don't know where Hiro's room is. "Oh great…"
Shuichi popped his head back into Ryuichi's room and saw Ryuichi was still doing what he was before.
"Ryuichi…" Shuichi said.
Ryuichi look up again. Shuichi's eyes widen in surprise. Ryuichi was… crying….
"Ryuichi?" Shuichi walk over to Ryuichi's side again
"I am sorry Shuichi; I guess I just missed you. It's really been a long 500 years without you. I know you won't remember but we once promised each other that we would be friends forever but now you don't remember me anymore and you are accusing me of lying to you." Ryuichi cried.
Shuichi hug Ryuichi. "I am sorry Ryuichi… I… I am just sorry…"
Ryuichi shook his head. "No need. I know you are confused right now. Don't worry, I have hope that one day, you will remember me and we will be good friends again!"
Shuichi smile. "You know, you are my idol."
Ryuichi nodded. "I know. I am a singer right? In a group with Tohma and another girl call Noriko right?"
Shuichi nodded. "You are like a God to me. You are the one who had inspired me to sing in the first place. Hey, you know what? If you haven't inspired me in the first place to sing, I would have never come to New York today for a concert."
Ryuichi turned frighten. "Shuichi… are you saying that I am the one who had made you suffer?"
Shuichi shook his head. "No… but don't worry, I just need to figure some things out. Oh, and by the way Ryuichi, can you please tell me where Hiro's room is? I need to talk to him right now."
Ryuichi chuckled. "Go up the stairs around the corner and the last room of the hallway is Hiro's room."
Shuichi nodded. "Thanks Ryuichi."
With that, Shuichi ran out of the room again.
