Chapter 13 – The End of Us!
The Real World…
Everyone was just waiting outside the castle, looking at the priest, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, the castle started to shake uncontrollably and bright lights surrounded it.
Everyone shield their eyes away from the bright light and after a while, there was a loud crash and everyone open their eyes to see what was happening. They were all very surprise at the sight before them, the castle had collapsed.
"Everything is over now… the young king had finally full fill his last wish… they are gone now… the castle have no more purpose anymore… this will never happen again…" The priest said.
Everyone was very confused on what the hell just happened and Hiro was the first to spot a body lying in front of the fallen castle.
"Look!" Hiro pointed at the body.
Everyone turned their attention to where Hiro was pointing. There were actually five bodies on the ground. Four of them were wearing weapons around them but the fifth body was… Yuki's eyes went wide when he saw pink hair. Could it be…?
Yuki began to walk toward the body and when he was for sure that it was Shuichi, he began to run.
"SHUICHI!" Yuki yelled as he kneels beside Shuichi.
"Shuichi?" Yuki said softly.
But Shuichi didn't answer.
"Shuichi?" Yuki began to shake Shuichi. "No… please don't leave me."
Yuki hug Shuichi to his chest. "Shuichi…"
Just as Yuki was about to cry again, Shuichi began to stir. It felt like time had frozen as Gold meet violet for the first time after a long while.
"Yuki…?" Shuichi said weakly.
Without another word, Yuki pulled Shuichi into a deep kiss.
&&&
Shuichi and the four FBI were then sent to the hospital for a check up afterwards. It seems that everything is fine with them and they can leave anytime they want so Shuichi and the FBI went home.
Everyone, especially Yuki, was much relived that Shuichi was back safe and sound. The concert was cancelled and was rescheduled for next month instead so it will give time for Shuichi to fully recover. Yuki didn't want Shuichi to stay in New York anymore since he felt unsafe so he told Tohma to book first class seats for them to return home the next day.
Yuki is now sitting beside Shuichi's bed, looking at his lover's sleeping form.
"Welcome back Shuichi…" Yuki whispered softly to his lover.
Shuichi smile in his sleep.
Suddenly, someone knock on the door.
"Come in." Yuki said
The door opens to review Tohma.
"What are you doing here Tohma?" Yuki asked.
"Awww… don't be so cold now Eiri. Shuichi is back safe and sound so there is no need for bad mood." Tohma said sarcastically.
"You still haven't answered my question Tohma." Yuki sent him a glare.
Tohma chuckled. "Can't I come and see my #1 employee? I mean, Shuichi IS one of N-G's best selling vocalist and since I am his boss, I feel that I have the duty to see if he is alright."
"Well… he just fell asleep so don't you dare raise your voice. He needs to rest. Shuichi was already very tired before he left for New York and now this whole kidnapping thing happened." Yuki said.
Tohma stare at Yuki.
"Do you want me to kick you out or what? Stop staring at me like that." Yuki said.
"Eiri… the FBI had reported to me what had happened inside the castle." Tohma said.
"What do you mean Tohma? Didn't the kidnappers kidnap Shuichi?" Yuki asked.
Tohma shook his head. "There was a longer story behind it. The FBI weren't even sure themselves of what had happened but the priest had explained everything to me. And I am here now to tell you the story. I don't think that Shuichi would tell you since I don't think he would be in any mood to talk about it but I still believe that you have the right to know."
Yuki stare at Tohma confusingly.
&&&
After telling the story…
"You got to be kidding me." Yuki said.
Tohma shook his head.
"So… you are trying to tell me that my great great great great great grandfather was my past life?" Yuki said
Tohma nodded.
"And that I was a prince and later king of that castle and Shuichi was my personal servant?" Yuki said
Tohma nodded.
"That 'past' Yuki had been waiting there for Shuichi to return since he wants to see him again?" Yuki said
Tohma nodded.
"So… basically… you are trying to tell me that Shuichi had been spending all these times with a bunch of ghosts that he 'used' to know back 500 years ago?" Yuki said more to himself then to Tohma.
Tohma nodded.
Yuki look at his sleeping lover. "You got to be joking me… Shuichi never told me anything… I can't believe it… he kept quiet from me…"
"It was very hard on him too Eiri." Tohma said.
Shuichi suddenly stirred from his sleep. He slowly sat up on his bed and rubbed his sleeping eyes.
"Good afternoon Shuichi, have a nice nap?" Tohma asked.
Shuichi smile. "Yup, and I am feeling better now!"
Silence fell upon them. The two older men were staring at Shuichi.
"Tohma… why are you and Yuki staring at me while I am sleeping?" Shuichi asked.
Tohma chuckled. "Well… I am sorry Shuichi but I am only here to see if you are alright and now since you are awake, I will leave you two to be. Good day Eiri. Hope you will feel better Shuichi."
"Thanks for worrying about me Tohma. I appreciated it. Don't worry; I won't let my self fall! My fans are all waiting for me to go on stage again right!" Shuichi smile.
Tohma smile back at him and nodded, before leaving the room.
Yuki and Shuichi just sat there, staring at each other.
"Yuki? Is something wrong?..." Shuichi finally asked.
"Shuichi…" Yuki whispered.
Shuichi stare at Yuki questioningly.
Yuki smiled. "Never mind… at least you are ok now…"
Shuichi smile weakly and went back to sleep.
Yuki began to stroke Shuichi's pink hair. "I am just scaring myself, there is no way Shuichi would choose that old King over me. Even if he is 10xs better… there is just no way…"
&&&
Two weeks later…
Everything seems to be back to normal after they had gone back to Japan, at least everyone thought so.
Every morning, Shuichi would wake up so early that is so unbelievable. Yuki would ask Shuichi why and he would always say that he is used to it now. Shuichi would then go to the bathroom and get ready. Then Shuichi would set up the table for breakfast and bring out the cereals and milk. After breakfast, Shuichi would leave for work right on time. Shuichi was really happy that he could sing again and he would work harder then before now. After work, Shuichi would go straight home and would go to the living room and work on his lyrics if he had to. Sometimes, he didn't even bother to tell Yuki that he had came back home. No more loud music, no more loud mouth…Then when the times come, Shuichi would get up and prepare dinner for both Yuki and himself. After dinner, Shuichi would wash the dishes and take a bath and watch a little TV before going to bed and sometimes share a night of passion with Yuki.
Everything seems normal right? Who are you trying to kid? Yuki knows that everything had changed. Shuichi is doing things that he usually wouldn't do, like waking up early and prepare breakfast then at night dinner. Where he learned to cook was still a mystery to Yuki. Every time when they are 'doing it', Shuichi would stare up at the ceiling like an empty shell. Yuki would always try to start conversations with Shuichi but he would only answer with 'ya', 'uh huh', 'no' and other one words. Yuki felt like living with a complete stranger now… they are like only strangers living under the safe roof. He doesn't know what Shuichi thinks anymore. Is like Shuichi had turned to a whole new person after what happened back in New York.
Sometimes, Yuki would even catch Shuichi crying inside their room while holding that roll of paper that Shuichi had brought back home with him. It really hurts Yuki a great deal of what had changed between him and Shuichi. He never expected things to have turned this way. And it had all happened in just one month.
Yuki knows that he is losing Shuichi. Their relationship is getting duller and duller.
'And it was all because of that king!' Yuki thought angrily. He was in his study room working on his newest story when he started to think things over.
'It has to be! Shuichi had been really cold to me! Is HIS entire fault! Why the hell does he have to show up out of no where 500 years later? I mean if he is dead, then stay away from Shuichi.' Yuki thought even more angrily.
The sound of the front door closes had brought Yuki back to reality. 'He is back.'
With that, Yuki got up from his seat and walk into his living room.
&&&
Outside in the living room, Shuichi was lying on the couch after a hard day at work.
"I am going to die soon…" Shuichi sigh.
"Then maybe you shouldn't push yourself this hard then…" A gentle voice interrupted Shuichi.
Shuichi bolted up from the couch and turn to look at that voice. "Huh?"
"If you are really tired, then don't keep pushing yourself like this. You had been working nonstop like a freak these two weeks. You are hurting your body." Yuki walked out from his study.
"And you care?..." Shuichi said casually.
That had really startled Yuki. How can Shuichi say that? Of course he cares! And what with that tone of voice he is using?
"What do you think idiot!" Yuki said.
"I am sorry Yuki… I guess is just that I have gone for so long and I missed by place on the spotlight. Don't worry, I will watch out for my health. I won't let myself fall." Shuichi said.
"Shuichi… never mind." Yuki said.
"If you have something you want to tell me, then go ahead. This is not the Yuki I know. You are the kind that gets straight to the point right? So why stop now?" Shuichi said.
A vein on Yuki's head popped. 'Calm down Yuki. Calm down. Don't let him get to you. You are trying to fix the gap between you and Shuichi, not trying to make it worse.'
"Well…" Yuki forced a smile. "I just want to talk to you about… us."
"What's there to talk about?" Shuichi asked uncaringly, looking down on the floor.
"Shuichi… what has been up with you? I mean… you had changed so much. What's with the hard working attitude? That's just not you. You are always in a slump. And the cooking… you were the worse cook I had ever seen in my entire life but suddenly, you learned how to cook and now you always do chores around the house and stuff. And… you never talk to me anymore…" Yuki whispered the last part.
Shuichi look up at Yuki. "Yes I do…"
"Ya, how is one word answers considered a 'normal' conversation?" Yuki said
"Well… what more do you want from me? I thought you always wanted me to leave you alone and now I have given you your wish, you start to feel uncomfortable?" Shuichi said.
"Shuichi! You know I have changed. If I really wanted you to leave me alone, I would never be here right now, arguing with you. I care. That's why." Yuki half shouted
Shuichi stayed silent.
"I don't want us to turn like this. This is really bothering me. And I know something else is bothering you. Do you want to talk about it?" Yuki asked gently.
"I… Yuki… I think I made a mistake… I feel so bad right now…" Shuichi said.
"What mistake?" Yuki asked.
"I was an idiot… he was always so happy just by me being there with him by his side… he loved me but yet… I pushed him away and I said a lot of horrible things to him…" Shuichi said.
Yuki instantly know who he was talking about. "Regret…"
"Huh?" Shuichi said.
"You are feeling regret right? Tell me Shuichi… just why are you feeling regret?" Yuki asked, looking down on the floor.
"I mean… you and he can never be together and you had already told him that he is not me and you only love me, then why are you regretting right now?" Yuki asked.
"You… Tohma told you didn't he?" Shuichi said.
Yuki nodded.
"I am sorry… please don't take this the wrong way… I love you, I really do! Is just that I think I should have treated him better then I should have… he told me that he had been really happy since I came to the castle… and at the end when I told him all those horrible things… he never once hated me… instead… he was being so understanding…" Shuichi said.
"Shuichi…" Yuki said, looking up.
Shuichi stayed silence. Yuki walked in front of Shuichi and claimed his lip. Shuichi was stunned. Yuki's was so surprised when Shuichi pushed him away.
"I am so sorry Yuki… please… just give me sometimes to get over some things… is just that every time I see you… you always remind me of King Yuki so much and I… I just…" Shuichi didn't get a chance to finish.
"I get it… I will see you later then." With that, Yuki walk back into his study.
(NOT ENDING, THERE IS STILL PART TWO)
Author's Note: Lol, sorry I didn't' update lately… To tell you the truth… I was losing inspiration and I was thinking about leaving the story without an ending but I guess I kind of felt guilty since I hate stories that have no ending either so I decided to continue. Hope this chapter was good. I didn't want to rush through it so I took my time… I just want you to know that this chapter is not the end yet… I guess it was longer then I expected so I divided them into two chapters… lol, don't worry; part two would be up tomorrow… I promise… Thanks for all of your reviews again. > Well... Shuichi and Yuki's relationship is falling apart... will they break up because of Shuichi's guilt? Stay tone for the real ending...
