Author's Note: I although I love the pairing of Tohma x Shuichi, I don't know about it that much. I can't really do Tohma's personality that much, much less Shuichi's. I might just stick with Yuki x Shuichi, but who knows I might just take a poll when it comes to that point. But most of the chapters now are going to be about Tohma talking to Shuichi about his options on what he should do with the money problem. I'm just writing it as it goes at this point.

Some Pasts are Murky and Clouded
By Yardat Sama
Chapter 3
Shuichi watched his boss as he sat down after finishing his breakfast. Tohma was wanting a lot of information on his past not that he minded since that Tohma could actually get him out of this mess.
" Shuichi, that man does he have a name?" Shuichi shook his head sadly.
" I'm not sure. All my life my sister and I were always made to call him 'Master' or 'Sir,' if we asked for his name, his guards would beat us harshly." Shuichi flinched as he said it.
" So the only way to pay off this man would be to have sex with people that would pay?" Tohma inquired.
" Yeah. The way things are going now, I'll pay him off in my late twenties." The young man sighed sadly and laid his head on the table. All of a sudden he felt a hand on his arm.
" That will not happen Shuichi." Tohma said vehemently, " Just to answer another question while we're at it, does Nakano-san know about this or Eiri-san?"
Shuichi shook his head, " I couldn't risk it. I never told Hiro about my true past and I never told Yuki. They're too protective, they might try to find the guy and end up dead." Tohma nodded.
" The only thing now is to figure out what to do now. This man is apparently very dangerous, and since we don't know his name, we can't go to the police." He sighed, all of a sudden very tired. Then his mind had a little lightning strike, " Shuichi we might have to resort to extreme measures here." Shuichi looked at Tohma curiously.
" What do you mean…?"
" Ever seen that American movie 'Pretty Woman?'" Shuichi shook his head wondering where Tohma was going with this, " In that movie, a man let a prostitute stay with him for a week for 3 thousand dollars. Maybe we could do that." Shuichi's eyebrows shot up in shock.
" But I'm with Yuki and you're married Tohma. It wouldn't work." Tohma smiled his trademark smile and looked at Shuichi straight in the eye.
" It has to." Tohma paused and seemed to consider his next words, " I don't want you or Eiri-san to suffer longer than you two already have." Shuichi started to cry at that, with sobs racking his small body. Tohma held his hand from across the table trying to give him a little strength.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" So you want to use him for a month? I don't know, I'll be losing a lot of customers. " The man rasped while smoking a cigarette, making Tohma bristle in anger at his tone.
" Hai. I'll pay anything for him." Tohma said meeting the man's cold ice-blue eyes. Those eyes seemed to mock him and tried to intimidate him, but Tohma was used to stares like that and stared right back.
The man smiled cockily, " Five thousand American dollars."
" I'll pay Ten thousand American dollars." The man's eyes widened.
" Why do you want to pay so much?" The man said suspiciously. Tohma only smiled.
" Like I said I'll pay anything for him. You named a price; I gave you a price more than you expected. So is it a deal or not?" The man looked at the silent boy who was standing to the side.
" What do you say Shuichi?"
" I'll do whatever you say Master." Shuichi said in a toneless voice.
The man raised his hand and brought it down on Shuichi's face knocking him to the floor. Tohma's jaw clenched, " That's to learn your place boy. If I ask you a question, you only nod. You understand?" Shuichi nodded, staying on the floor. The man turned back to the frowning Tohma.
" It's a deal. I expect payment at the end of the month grunt." Then as the man turned around to walk back into the building he kicked Shuichi in the stomach, " I better not hear that you never used him in bed blondie. I have my ways of knowing." Then he was gone.
" Shuichi daijoubu!?" Tohma said kneeling at Shuichi's side. Shuichi nodded and stood up with Tohma's help.
" I'm fine. He just caught me by surprise." Tohma still helped Shuichi back to his car and they left the rundown neighborhood.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" YUUUUKI!!"
A man groaned from behind his computer as he heard his lover's yell throughout the apartment, " Baka." He stood and walked to the door to see a pink blur run straight at him toppling him to the floor as Shuichi hugged him.
Yuki growled and pushed him off, standing up to meet Tohma's amused face, " What do you want?" Tohma smiled.
" I brought Shindou-san home. I found him last night so he stayed at my house last night." Yuki looked down at Shuichi who was looking at him with teary violet eyes that made his face soften.
" Where were you last night?"
" He got lost on his way home from work." Tohma then cursed himself for his lame excuse. Yuki saw right through it.
" He may be a baka, but he's not that much of a baka to get lost on a route from work to here." He looked suspiciously at the two men, " What happened?" He growled.
To be continued…
