Author's Note: Sorry to all the people who want me to update faster, but real life is a pain in the ass. Like, school, work, and all sorts of other things that I have to do. But maybe I'll update again this week, that's a maybe people, I'm not promising anything.

Muhahahahaha, but Yamaguchi isn't gone yet. Oh no, he's still has something up his sleeve. Oh and Dark-One Shadowphyre, yeah I was thinking of Muraki from Yami no Matsuei, but I decided not to make this a crossover, although it may look like it is.

Sorry folks but this one is a little short.

Warnings: Sex, Rape, and Drugs, and OCC in Touma's part here.

Some Pasts are Murky and Clouded

" Seguchi-san, I need to talk with you."

Tohma stood up and walked with the doctor away from the waiting room to an empty room, " What's wrong?"

The doctor sighed and took off his glasses, " Shindou-san is dying."

Touma reeled back and held his chest as his breath was taken away from him. It couldn't be true. Not Shuichi, not the person who he had finally grown to love. Shuichi couldn't be taken from him, " From what?" he croaked faintly.

The doctor shook his head slowly, " We don't know. It's an unknown drug in his system that we can't identify and treat. If there was an antidote to it, Shindou-san would need it in the next 72 hours, or else his organs will break down and he will literally be eaten from the inside out." Touma nodded and thanked the doctor and asked the doctor to leave, " I'm sorry Seguchi-san."

Touma didn't answer and kept his face down till the doctor finally was gone and when the door closed did he finally break down. He cried like he never cried before, it was all so wrong! Shuichi wasn't supposed to die like this.

" Oh gods," Touma's voice broke as he spoke and he just let the tears fall to the floor, and then did he notice that it was raining outside, " Please, don't let him die." He spoke faintly to any god that might be listening.

Ten minutes later, Touma walked out the door and then back to the waiting room to deliver the bad news to Shuichi's friends. Then he noticed that Eiri was there leaning against the wall.

" What's wrong?" Yuki said as he noticed that Touma's face was a little red.

" Shindou Shuichi is dying."

Yuki slid down the wall.

Yamaguchi's eyes glinted dangerously as he stared at the video screen in his room, repeating the part where Shuichi had knocked him unconscious and ran. It was unconceivable that the brat would be able to do such a thing.

" He's mine." He growled out as he saw his 'little doll' on the screen naked and crying in an old tape, " He always has been."

Shuichi was fascinating to him, ever since he first saw the young boy barely thirteen and ripe for the picking. That pink hair, those violet eyes! " Oh…" Yamaguchi shuddered as he remembered his first session with his doll. He kept coming back for his doll month after month, year after year, he kept coming back. He was addicted to his little doll, ever since he heard the boy scream in pain and pleasure as he was pounding into the little boy.

Yamaguchi stood up and walked out of the room and into another that held chemicals and beaker jars. He picked up a needle and fingered it as he had forgotten to give his doll his antidote.

Then he smiled maliciously as thought of something and hurried out of the room. It was going to be a good day after all.

Haru had met up with his friend Fuji in an American-like coffee shop and explained everything that he wanted to do.

" Let me get this straight," Fuji said, " You want to find the whereabouts of Yamaguchi, the number one psycho in Japan and kill him. It sounds pretty easy Haru, but you have to find the slippery bastard first. And you know that he's not that easy to find and kill." Fuji sipped his coffee, " I've heard rumors of this Yamaguchi though, and he supposedly got shot in the chest, and was up walking the very next day. He's not normal."

Haru sighed and nodded, " I'll admit to that Fuji."

" We could always ask our boss."

Haru nodded and looked out the window to watch the rain fall down.

Touma sat next to the unconscious Shuichi and held his right hand as Yuki sat on Shuichi left side, " You love him don't you Seguchi?" Yuki said as he watched Touma face.

Touma nodded and then looked up at Yuki, " And you still love him don't you?"

Yuki smiled bitterly and nodded as well.

" Like that brat would say it was 'Gravitation.'"

To Be Continued…
