TaraYuki-Uesugi here . Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to ME !!! Yes I am finishing up a fanfic on my birthday.I so need a life lol.

Random Thoughts: Alright its my birthday and its boring as all hell. I think ive had like one hour of sleep since yesterday and im still going strong at (time check) 11:40pm. With NO coffee!!! Oh yeah im skilled! So today i went out with my mom and siblings to the mall. I bought a new shirt cuz the one i had on was annoying the hell outta me and i bought a new manga. I really like Samurai Deeper its funny . Tomorrow im going shopping at a different mall. Hopefully i'll be able to get DVD Saiyuki #5(they never seem to have it in stock)and whatever the hell else i want . Saturday Medieval times !!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO !! I love that place ! The knights are hot and you get to yell at them to die !!! HAHAHA!!! My birthday always lasts longer than one day. I'm so spoiled lol............I have Anime on demand and Greg Ayers is like in EVERY SHOW!!! I so need that guys bank account. I've compiled a list of all the shows hes on on Anime Network on Demand..... Ahem..... Saiyuki (Goku) Chrono Crusade (Chrono) Peacemaker (Shinpenchi) D N Angel ( Satoshi) Puni Puni Poemy ( boy that steals Poemys bike ) , Sister Princess ( the annoying dude .forgot the name and im too lazy to look it up on the t.v. ) , Aquarian Age ( Junichi ), and some more shows but i dont remember the names of the shows . Anime network changes the shows once the first season is done . I like the fact that he's in all the shows ,it's funny ! Everytime i hear his voice on another show im like "It's Goku ! " (thats how i label him , even though the first time i heard him was on Pretear ) . I like his voice its cute.Ok random thoughts finished . i had more to say but i forgot............(Idiot)

Disclaimer: No i do not own Gravitation, but maybe if I worked like Greg Ayers , maybe I would be able to buy it from her lol

And now , on with the show ....................

" Alright everyone , wake up . You too Shuichi , you're late " Yuki spoke into the intercom that connected to every room in the house. Right now he had pressed the four buttons that allowed his voice to be heard in his bedroom , Meikos bedroom , Keisukes and Kaorus. He was so glad he had it installed . This way he didn't have to run fromroom to room waking everyone up , everyone woke up all at once .

When no one answered , he spoke again " Alright , if no one wakes up i'll be forced to use the morning alarm " ................. No answer " Ok you asked for it " . He pressed the button labeled 'Morning Alarm'. The sound was louder than loud . It sounded just like a horn on a big ship . Thats the one he chose when he purchased the intercom.It seemed the cruelest and it would get the job done . After the 'alarm ' rang , the intercom filled with voices.

"YUKI!!!!!!!! "

"Dad , dude that was so not kool "

" Dad , are you tring to give me a headache? I have a test today! "

" Dad , I'm angry ! That hurt ! "

" Shut up complaining. I warned all of you ." Yuki said on the other end , impressed by the respone.

" Keisuke , seriously, there's a test ?"Kaoru asked his brother through the intercom " What class ? Is it a class I have with you ? "

" Yeah , math " Keisuke responded

" Are you serious?! Aw man , oh wellI failed " Kaoru said

" Kaoru you had better pass that test or its your ass ! Now all of you get dressed. Shuichi wake-up before i press the alarm again in your room only ! " Yuki yelled " You're already twenty minutes late "

" Shit !!! K is gonna kill me !! Thanks Yuki , I love you . "

"Yeah ,yeah , love you too" Yuki said rolling his eyes .

" Eeeek!! " Shuichi squeeled

Some of Yuki's walls have broken down , but it was still a difficult feat to get him to say 'I love you '. So when he does Shuichi feels extra special . Besides , Yuki knew by saying it ,Shuichi wouldnt fall back asleep.

Like ever other morning Eiri prepared breakfast. He didn't mind , he was up at this hour anway. He worked nights on his novel and so preparing breakfast in the morning just seemed like the right thing to do . Today they were having Panckes , eggs and bacon. Everyones favorite . Yuki , in the middle of flipping a pancake , felt his cellphone vibrate in his pocket . His phone never leaves his side . Yuki set the the last of the pancakes aside and answered his phone .

"Yeah?" he answered

" Eiri-san , goodmorning" Tohma seguchi's voice came from the other end.

"Yeah ,morning. Whats up ?"

" I was wondering , are you going to be busy today ? "

Yuki thought for a second . If Tohma wanted to come over ,then saying 'yes he would be busy for the day ' would be a good thing . Last thing he wanted and needed was to be annoyed by Tohma for a day . But he just didnt feel like lying today .

" No i'm not busy. I finished my book last night so i'm actually quite free. "

" Excellent ! I have a surprise for Shindou-san today andI wanted you to be there and share the experience with him ."

" So whats the surprise ? "

" Now Eiri-san , it wouldnt be much of a surprise if i told you,now would it ? Besides,I want you to be surprised also .I think you'll be proud of Shindou-san. NowI need you to be at N-G around 4:30 in the press conference room. Bring the kids also . Meiko should be happy , Kanai is coming too . Well , I've got work to do for todays surprise. It was great talking to you Eiri-san . "

" Hnn" Yuki groaned

" Bye " and with that Tohma hung up

At that exact moment the three Shindou-Uesugi children entered the kitchen ,making their way to the cabinets to get plates .

" Who was that dad ? " Keisuke asked

" Tohma. We have to go to N-G at 4:30 today. So I'll be picking you guys up from school. Apparently he has a surprise for Shuichi. " He explained while packing Shuichis breakfast on a container .

" Whats the surprise ? " Kaoru asked filling hisplate with pancakes.

" No idea. Tohma wouldnt say, but dont tell your daddy though. He dosent want him to know . " he said while closing the container and putting it on the counter near the door .

Two seconds later everyone heard rushed footsteps running down the stairs . Meiko abandoned her breadfast andran to the refridgerator. Shegrabed a sunny delight and flatened herself against the counter. Soon Shuichi appeared in the kitchen. " I'm late " he announced

" We know . " everyone said in unison

" WellI gotta go . K is so gonna kick my ass " He ran to his two sons who were already tucking into their breakfast and kissed them on their forehead . " See ya later boys" he said quickly " Bye " the boys said in unison. Shuichi rushed over to Meiko " Here you go daddy" she said " Thanks sweetie" Shuichi said and kissed her on her forehead .He ran to Yuki and quickly pecked him on the lips then ran to the counter near the door grabed his breakfast and headed towards thedoor .

" Oi , Shuichi " Yuki yelled right before he reached the door . Shuichi turned around and Eiri tossed him a small pack of syrup . Shuichi caught and smiled .

" Well bye guys. See you when get home . I love you ! "

" Love you too " the three children yelled back

" Hnn " Yuki groaned . Once for taday was enough .

Soon they heard Shuichi grab car keys off the key rack near the door (which car ? they didnt know ) and then the front door slam close . " You think he'd wake up on time after all these years " Yuki said aloud more to himself than to anyone specific.He fixed himself a plate and joined his children at the table . They had a small conversation until the doorbell rang . " That must be the crew " Kaoru said, finishing his last pancake and setting his dish in the sink for his dad to wash later . Meiko and Kaisuke followed suit . " Alright " Yuki said following them to the door .

" Kaoru fix your tie " he said to his younger son . The top three buttons of Kaoru's shirt were open and revealing a white wife-beater . His tie hung draped around his shoulders.

" Dad , I'm not like Keisuke "

" Shut up! " Keisuke said

" Besides ,I look hott this way " Kaoru said with a smirk and proceeded to put on his shoes .

Yuki smiled and shook his head while heading toward the door to open it . He opened the door to see Keisuke and Kaoru's three best friends , Miwa , Kenji and Travis . Travis was american , but lived in Japan most of his life . Miwa and Travis had their uniforms on properly , but the same couldnt be said for Kenji. He had his button down white shirt completely openexposinga black wife-beater on under it . His tie was hanging out his pocket and chains hung everywhere from his pants and his finger nails were painted purple. Yuki decided not to look .

" Hello ,Uesugi-san" the boys sang in unison .

" Hey " Yuki said . He turned to his children " Ya read ? "

" Yup "they all said and headed out the door . Meiko gave her dad a kiss on the cheek " Bye dad " " Bye " he replied back " Bye guys." He yelled to the boys " dont forget im picking you guys up today "

" Bye dad " the boys called back

Yuki stood at the doorway until his children were out of sight. once he could no longer see them , he closed the door and retreated to the couch. He closed his eyes ' I had better get some sleep if i have to endure a surprise from Tohma ' . he thought to himself . He glanced at the kitchen and remembered the pile of dishes in the sink ' I'm just too tired . I'll leave it for Megumi this time ' Megumi was they maid that came by the house three times a week to help keep it tidy. Having three kids , and Shuichi , made it hard for the house to stay clean.Yuki couldnt take the mess anymore and decided to hire a temporary maid .

Yuki dragged himself up the stairs to his and Shuichi's bedroom , floped on the bed , and within mere seconds , fell asleep.


" Hey guys " Travis said once the had left the door step .

" Hey " the twins said in unison .

" Hey Kenji " Meiko said . She's had a crush on him for two years now .

" Hey sis " Kenji said even though they were in no way related. " So are you guys ready for tonight ? "

" Whats tonight ? " Kaoru asked .

" I thought maybe we could go to our favorite kareoke bar after school . " Kenji said

" No can do " Keisuke said .

" Why? "

" We have to go to N-G after school . Thats why dad is picking us up . " Meiko explained .

" Yeah " Kaoru cut in " Seems like Uncle Tohma has a surprise for daddy. they're holding a press conference at 4:30 . "

" Uncle Tohma " Miwa said in awe " I wish I could call Tohma Seguchi , Uncle Tohma."

" Yeah you guys are so lucky " Travis cut in . " One of your dads is a huge novelist , the other is the lead singer of the biggest band in the world right now , and your uncle is a grasper member . The other biggest group in the world . "

" Dont forget they have stars come in and out of their house like its nothing " Kenji added .

" Yeah like Ryuichi Sakuma " Travis said in a dreamy voice . " My God ! "

" Trust me Travis , Uncle Ryu isnt like what you see on the T.V " Keisuke said with a smile

" And they call him Uncle Ryu " Miwa said

" Yeah " Kaoru said agreeing with his brother ." When Uncle Ryu comes over the only time he's normal is when we're having a jam session . The rest of the time he and Meiko are playing dolls and stuff "

" Ryuichi Sakuma , play with dolls? I refuse to believe that " Miwa said

Kaoru and Meiko caught each others eye, smiled shook their heads . They knew no one would believe them .

" Wait a minute , you have jam sessions at your house with Ryuichi Sakuma ? " Travis yelled outraged . " And you never invited me ? "

" Sorry man , never thought about it . It was never that important . " Kaoru apologized

" Nevr that important ? " Travis' mouth was hanging open

" Yeah . Like I said Uncle Ryu is usually with Meiko . Most of the time its just me and Uncle Hiro . " Kaoru said

" Uncle Hiro ? Hiro Nakano too ? " You've never told me about this " Miwa said

" Oh man , sorry . Uncle Hiro is always over the house . I'm surprised you guys have never seen him . I guess its because he likes to come over late . " Kaoru explained .

" Enough about Hiro , I wanna meet Ryuichi " Travis said

" Uncle Ryu reminds me of daddy " Meiko said smiling

" You mean my god " Kenjicorrected " We've always see Yuki-san . Why dont we ever see my god ..... i mean your other dad ? "

" He's usually at work when you guys come over . His manager works the band like mad so he usually gets home late . " Keisuke explained

" I must meet your daddy , dude " Kenji said " The man is a genius ! "

" Yeah he is " Kaoru agreed

" Genius ? Yeah right . If you mean someone who basically lives off of pocky , is extremely hyper , and cries more in one day than a woman does in her lifetime . " Keisuke joked . " He's just like Kaoru . Where do you think Kaoru gets it from ? "

" No way dude . He cant be like Kaoru " he said wide eyed . " Kaoru is a moron . I wont believe it till I see it "

" Well believe it . You've seen our dad loads of times . Kaoru is nothing like him . But pop , he and Kaoru should be the twins , not us . "

" Yup " Kaoru agreed " Besides , you'll be able to meet everyone at our party. "

" Excellent! " Kenji and Travis said in unison . They all began talking about the party .

Five mintes later they were in front of Meiko's school . " Bye Meiko " Keisuke giving his little sister a kiss on the forehead . " Bye" she said .

" Bye baby sis " Kaoru gave Meiko a kiss and a big bear hug .

A little girl with long brown hair in a braid goinig down her back , began making her way over to them . " Hey Kaoru , Keisuke " she said " Meiko !!! "

" Kanai !!! " Meiko exclaimed hugging her best friend and cousin . " Hey Kanai " Keisuke said " Kanai , Wassup ? ! " Kaoru yelled giving her a big hug .

" Nothing much " she replied with a smile " Are you guys going to N-G today ? "

" Yeah" Kaoru answered

" Great , me too ! "

The bell rang signaling that school was about to begin .

" We'd better go . Bye " Meiko said waving . The boys waved back . They watched Meiko and Kanai run into the school , also noticing the glares of utter loathing thrown at Meiko by the other school girls and some of their moms. They began to walk the half block to their school .

" Why do those girls look at Meiko like that " Kenji asked . " Yeah even some of the moms there looked like they didnt like her . " Miwa added " I mean , shes just a kid "

" Jealousy " Kaoru answered . " They hate the fact that she's so pretty . Especially after the print ad. "

" Yeah " Keisuke jumped in " Kanai is her only friend "

" Why isnt Kanai jealous of her ? " Miwa asked " And why is she going to NG with you guys ? "

"There's no reason to be jealous of family " Kaoru laughed .

" You guys are related ? " Travis asked .

" Yeah , we're cousins" Keisuke said

" She's Uncle Tohma's daughter . Which explains why shes going to N-G too . " Kaoru finished .

Miwa , Travis and Kenji stoped walking and froze . Their mouths wide open . Keisuke and Kaoru turned around to face their stunned friends . They smirked .

" Didn't we tell you ? " they said in unison and they burst out laughing

" I hate when they do that " Kenji said


Shuichi slamed on his breaks as he pulled into his reserved spot in the N-G parking lot . He got out closed the door , pressed the button on the keychain that locked the car and ran for the front door .

" Goodmorning Shindou-san " the female receptionist greeted .

Shuichi ran past waving a hand in acknowledgement . Once at the elevators he pounded the up button repeatedly . " C'mon , c'mon " he mttered to himself . Once the elevator arrived , he jumped in pushed number seven and then 'door close ' . Slowly the numbers lit as each floor passed , finally stoping on level seven . He ran out of the elevator and into the room labeled " Bad Luck " .

" I'm ............." Shuichi began

'Click'

"Why cant you ever make it on time ? " K asked , his pistol pointing right at Shuichi's forehead .

" I'm sorry , I overslept " Shuichi said , quickly ducking from under the pistol and making his way to the couch in the corner .

" You always oversleep. " Hiro said laughing .

" I cant help it . I'm tired "

" Well since everyone's here now " K began " I can tell you that practice will be cut short today "

" Why ? " Fujisaki asked .

" Well it seems that Mr. President is going to be holding a press conference today at 4:30 and he wants all the members of Bad Luck there . " Mr. Sakano explained .

" So we must get as much work as we can done today before 4:30. " K explained " Now if I'm not mistaken we've got two songs left to record for the new album . I suggest we get started as soon as possible . "

K and Mr. Sakano made their way over to the recording booth on the other side of the room . Shuichi , Hiro , and Suguru followed .

" I wonder what the conference is for " Hiro wondered aloud .

" Yeah " Shuichi agreed

" They never let us know anything around here " Suguru chimed in with a sigh " We might as well get to work "

" Yeah "


Yuki's eyes flew open . He turned toward the nightstand to check the time . 2:37. ' Good I didnt oversleep ' he thought . He got out of bed and headed downstairs to the kitchen . When he walked in he noticed the kitchen was spotless. ' I'm so glad I hired her ' he thought to himself . Megumi was the best made anyone could ask for . She was like a house elf (1). She would clean and leave and you would never know she had been there . Except for the fact that the house would be clean.

Yuki walked over to the fridge wanting a beer but decided on a soda instead since he would be driving later . He downed the soda and made his way back up to the bedroom . He noticed his and Shuihci's underwear clean and folded neatly at the foot of the bed . 'Megumi must have done the laundry ' . He placed the downy smelling clothes into the drawers and proceeded to the closet . ' I'd better wear something nice . We'll be on T.V . ' . He decided on a pair of khaki's and a black V-neck , long sleeve sweater . Not too dressy , but not to casual either . He laid the clothes on the bed and made his way to the bathroom. Once inside he realized the towels had been cleaned and were now folded on the sink or hung up on the rack .

Yuki took his shower and dressed. By the time he had finished the clock read 3:23 . He grabed the keys to the silver Mercedes convertable , put on his shoes , checked that he had his wallet and house keys and then left .

By the time he reached Meikos school , it was 3:35 and the children were just getting out . Yuki parked the car in front of the school gate , put on his sunglasses and walked toward the school to wait for his daughter . He stoped at the entrance to wait . As he waited two women in front of him were having a conversation.

" Yeah , I cant stand that little brat " said the woman with short hair " She walks around here like she owns the place . Especially after that print ad . "

" Yeah " the long haired woman agreed " I told my daughter to stay away from her . I dont care if she is the daughter of Eiri Yuki and Shuichi Shindou . "

" That Eiri Yuki sure is a hottie "

" Tell me about it . Too bad he's gay "

At this time the short haired woman noticed Eiri. " Hello there " she said not noticing who Eiri was " Arent you a cutie " . Eiri rolled hs eyes and walked away . " Stupid bitches " he muttered .

After five minutes of waiting Meiko finally emerged .

" Dad ! " she yelled . She ran upto him and gave him a big hug . " Hey " he said hugging her back . " Hey Uncle Eiri " Kanai had just joined them . She gave Eiri a hug . " Hey Kanai . Who's picking you up today " he asked huging her back .

" Hello Eiri " came a famale voice .

" Hi , mommy " Kanai said

" Auntie Mika ! " Meiko yelled grabing her aunt into a bear hug .

" Hey Meiko . Oh sweetie , you're breaking my ribs . " Mika said with what little breath she had .

" Sorry "

" So how are you ? Taking care of your dad I hope "

" As always " Maiko smiled

" I resent that " Eiri said walking over to his sister .

" Well , how are you little brother ? You must be in a good mood . You're driving the Mercedes . "

" Oooooh the Mercedes . Did you finish your manuscript on time dad ? " Meiko asked with a smile .

" Hey, do you know what Tohma's surprise is ? " Eiri asked ignoring them both .

" Nope . He never talks about work when he gets home . " Mika answered

" Hey dad ,since Kanai is going to N-G too, can she come with us ? PLEASE? " Meiko asked

" Please Uncle Eiri ? " Kanai begged . Eiri looked at Mika . " I dont care " she said " I've got a hair appointment I'd rather not miss anyway . "

" Fine. Whatever "

" YAY!!! Meiko yelled . Kanai just smiled .

" Well I'd better be off " Mika said looking at her watch " Jose hates when I'm late " " Bye Kanai . Mommy loves you " she kissed her daughter on her forehead . " Bye Meiko " she kissed Meiko . " Bye Eiri " and she walked off toher car .

" Be mommy "

" Br Auntie Mika ! "

" Hnnnn" Yuki groaned " Lets go "

They started towards the car . Yuki noticed the two woman talking before , staring nastily at his daughter .

" Dad , can I wear your sunglasses ? " Meiko asked making his focus shift to her .

"Yeah sure . Here you go " he handed his shades to his daughter .

The wamen gasped . " I-It's Eiri Yuki " the long haired woman said . Yuki glared at them with the ' I heard everthing you said before ' look . The women turned bright red , muttered something like a "sorry " under their breaths and hurried off . " Idiots "" Yuki muttered .

" Who're Idiots , dad ? " Meiko asked

" Nothing " he opened the back door to the car . " Get in . We have to get your brothers . " The girls got into the back seat . Yuki climbed into the drivers seat and reved up the car . " Buckle up " he said as he drove off .

" We'll wait with you " Kenji said

" Ok" answered Kaoru .

" Hey Travis , Miwa , come over to my place so we can watch the press conference . " Kenji offered . " Ok " :" Sure " Miwa and Travis answered .

Just then they saw a silver Mercedes convertable coming down the block . It stood out against all the black cars on the street .

" Dudes , Your dad has a kick ass car collection . " Kenji said

"Yeah" Keisuke agreed " He's driving the Mercedes convertable today with the top down even . He must be in a good mood ." " He must have finished his manuscript on time " Kaoru finished with a smile .

Yuki pulled up to the five boys standing outside the school gate . " Oi, dad , finished your book on time I see " Kaoru laughed . " Actually I finished it ten days early " Yuki said " Now get in "

" Kanai ! " Kaoru yelled climbing into the backseat . " Awesome , your coming with us ? " " Yeah " Kanai smiled " Hey Kanai " Keisuke said getting into the front seat " Hey "

The boys said their goodbyes to their friends " Bye Kenji " Meiko said dreamily " Bye pretty lady " Kenji yelled back . " Bye Kanai " he winked at her . Kanai blushed and lowered her head .

" Kenji , stop hitting on my daughter and my niece " Yuki said " Sorry Uesugi-san " Kenji laughed "I didnt mean to leave you out "

Everyone laughed . Yuki glared . They said goodbye one more time and left .

" He's soooo hott ,isnt he Kanai ? ' Meiko asked her cousin. Kanai nodded . " There's nothing hott about a boy that apparently cant dress himself ." Yuki said " He knows how to dress himself " Meiko defended " He's just a rebel , which makes him soooooooo hott . "

" C'mon dad you know you think Kenji's funny " Kaoru said smiling

Kenji always joked around with Eiri . And although Eiri would never admit it , he did think the kid was funny.

" Hilarious " Yuki said sarcastically .

" Dad , I'm hungry. Can we go to McDonalds ? " Meiko asked " Yeah , me too " Kaoru agreed " I'm starved ." Yuki looked at the clock . 4:00 . " Fine , but we're going thru the drive-thru . " Yuki pulled into McDonalds and around to the drive-thru . A car was ahead of them already ordering . " What do you guys want " he asked .

" Big Mac meal for me " Keisuke said

" Double cheese burger meal " Meiko and Kaoru said in unison . " Super size ." Yuki turned and looked at them with the ' are-you-serious? look . " What?! We're hungry" they said " Fine. Whatever. Kanai? " " Chicken nugget meal for me please" she siad

Yuki placed the order then pulled around to pick it up . " Meiko give me back my sunglasses. I dont fell like signing autographs today " She handed them back and Yuki put them on . He paid , recieved the food and distributed it to the kids . Now they were on their way to N-G. " Drop any food in the car and you're dead. " Yuki said " Now hurry up and eat. We'll be there soon. "

Yuki pulled into the guest parking lot and parked the car . Meiko and Kaoru were first to finish their meal even though theirs were the biggest . Kanai and Keisuke were finishing up their fries . They had to hide it from Kaoru's and Meiko's hungry eyes .

Once everyone had finished eating , they headed into the building .

" Meiko , Kanai ! " the receptionist yelled " Akemi !" the girls cried in unison . " Hey Kaoru , Keisuke " " Hey Akemi " the boys replied . " Hello Yuki-san . How are you ? " " Fine " " I'll let Seguchi-san know you're here "

" No need , Akemi " Tohma Seguchi had just exited an elevator.

" Daddy! "

" Uncle Tohma ! "

" Hello Kanai , Meiko " Tohma said hugging the girls " Hey boys "

" Hey "

" Hello Eiri. I see Mika found a way to make that hair appointment of hers after all " " Yup " Yuki replied " Follow me " Tohma directed . " We should be starting soon " They followed Tohma to the press conference room.

" Bye Akemi ! " Meiko yelled

" Bye guys ! "

They entered the room labeled press conference . There were people all over the place setting up cameras . Tohma noticed the uneasy look on Yuki's face . " Don't worry " Tohma reassured " They're not allowed to bother you or they'll be kicked out . " Tohma led them to a small room on the right . He paused before opening the door and turned to Yuki . " I'm sorry Eiri-san butI will have to ask you to wait out here . This surprise is for you also . "

" Whatever " Eiri said as he walked over to the nearest chair and sat down .

Tohma opened the door and let the children in. Once inside they all took a seat on one of the 3 couches . " Ok guys ,I need you three to do me a favor " Tohma began looking at the three Shindou-Uesugi children .


Bad Luck , K and Mr. Sakano were in the elevator headed to the ground floor where the press conference would be held .

" You really have no idea what this is about ? " Hiro asked K

" Nope . I have no idea . "

They exited the elevator and walked across the huge lobby . " Hey Akemi ! " Shuichi yelled . " Hey Shindou-san ! " Akemi yelled back

Within seconds they were infront of the press conference room . " Are you ready ? " K asked " I guess " Shuichi replied nervously. They pushed the door in and were immediately blinded by flashing lights .

" Bad Luck , do you have any idea what this is about ? "

" Bad Luck , are you getting fired ? "

The band made their way to the long table on the stage at the front of the hall . Tohma Seguchi had already situated himself at the table , dead center . Bad Luck sat around him . K and Mr. Sakano stood off to the side . Tohma began ........

" Today is a big day for N-G indeed . Bad Luck has achieved what only one band in all of Japan has only done once before . "

Shuichi , Hiro and Suguru just looked at each other completely comfused .

" Will my surprise guests please come out "

Shuichi turned his head to Hiro who was sitting on his left and mouthed " Surprise guests ? " . Hiro shrugged .

" Hi Daddy ! " Meiko yelled emerging from the small room on the left .

Shuichi spun his head left . " Meiko ?! " . She waved and walked up the stairs on the side of the stage . Her brothers behind her holding what looked like a large picture frame . " Boys?! " Shuichi said shocked " What areyou guys doing here ? "

" Congratulations Bad Luck , on your single ' Only you ' going diamond !!!!! !"the three children yelled .

" WHAT?!!!!!!!!!! " Shuichi , Hiro and Suguru yelled in unison .

" It's true " Tohma began into the mic . " Your single , ' Only You ' , written by Eiri Yuki , has sold over ten million copies ! Only Nittle Grasper has ever sold that many copies of a single cd , until now . "

Yuki who had been sitting in the last seat in the front row , had his mouth hanging open . He stood up and looked at Tohma in disbelief . tTohma just nodded .

" Are you serious ? ! " Suguru yelled standing up

" Oh shit " Hiro said in awe .

" We did it ! " Shuichi exclaimed , tears pouring down his cheeks. He ran over to his children . He picked up Meiko and gave her a big kiss. " Thanks guys ! Where's your dad ? " " Over there " Meiko pointed to where Yuki stood with his mouth open . Still holding Meiko in is arms , Shuichi ran off the stage , set Meiko down and planted a huge kiss dead on Yuki's lips . Tongue and all . The media went wild .

" Keisuke ! " Kaoru yelled at his brother .

At the sight of Shuichi kissing Yuki , he nearly droped the plaque he had in his hands . Kaoru struggled to hold it on his own . " Sorry man " Keisuke apologized picking up his side of the plaque but never taking his eyes off of his parents . The boys carried the plaque to the table and set it down . Kaoru ran over to his parents . Keisuke followed slowly , walking and thinking.

' Should they have done that 'he thought ' It's going to be all over the front pages tomorrow . What if ..........nah , dad promised he'd protect us . Why am I worrying ? ' . Keisuke raced off to his parents

" Oh my heavens Yuki , we did it ! " Shuichi cried harder now, his arms draped around Yuki's neck . The cameras were still flashing . " Seems like we make a good team . " Yuki said with a smile .

" Shuichi , c'mon , pictures ! " Hiro yelled . " Ok! " he yelled back to wiping is tears. Come on guys '" Shuichi said to his family . He grabed Meiko's hand and wrapped his arm around Kaoru's neck putting him in a choke hold. Keisuke followed . " Are you ok ? " he heard his dad ask in his ear " Yeah I'm fine "

Yuki knew his sons attitude had changed since their talk four days ago , but he still worried . He still wanted to make sure he was comfortable , just in case .

They had taken pictures . First just the family and then the family and Bad Luck . " Can we just have Bad Luck now , please ? " a photographer of a magazine asked . " Ok , one minute " Shuichi said " Are you guys going home ? " he asked Yuki

" Yeah "

" Hey Shuichi , wanna celebrate tonight?" Hiro asked . " Go out to dinner or something ? "

" Not tonight " Shuichi answered " Lets all go out tomorrow night . TonightI want to celebrate with my family "

"Ok "

Shuichi turned to Yuki " Lets order in tonight " " Ok , I'll order Sukiyaki for us when you get home " Yuki said " Great ! "

" Daddy , can I stay with you ?" Meiko asked " Kani is here and I wanna play . I already finished my homework at lunch . " " Ok " Shuihci said " Kaoru are you staying also " Meiko asked her brother .

" Nah ,I have a song I wanna finish writing " he answered " Ok"

" Shuichi , come one ! " Suguru yelled

" I'm coming ! " Shuichi yelled back " I'd better go . Bye boys " He gave both his sons a hug " I'll see you whenI get home . " he kissed Yuki

" Alright " Yuki said " Bye . Bye Meiko "

" SHUICHI !!!! "

" I'M COMING !!!! " Shuichi and Meiko ran off . " Get home safely !! " he yelled back to Yuki.

" Ready ? " Yuki asked the boys " Yup "

Theypiled in the car and began to drive home . " Hey dad ? " Kaoru asked from the backseat . " Can we go by Party City and pick up a 'Congratulations' sign for dad ? " " Sure " They pulled into Party City . Of course Kaoru couldnt just buy a sign , he made his father buy balloons and streamers too . Then he made Yuki stop off at Maxwell's for a Strawberry cake( thought Yuki didnt mind that too much. He loved strawbery cake ) and then the supermarket for strawberry pocky .

It was 6:17 by the time they arrived home .

" Ok so who's gonna help me decorate ? " Kaoru asked once they were inside .

" Not me " Keisuke answered " I have to finish my story " . He headed off upstairs

" Dad? "

" You're on your own , kid . " Eiri said " I've got work to do "

" But I thought you finished your manuscript already . " Kaoru said

" I did butI just got a new idea for my next book " Yuki stalked off to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee before he set to work .

Kaoru decorated on his own . It was 7:03 by the time he finished . Keisuke was still in his room working on his story and Yuki in his study . He ran upstairs got his lyric book then ran back downstair to the livingroom to write . After about fifteen minutes of writing the doorbell rang .

" I'll get it " Kaoru yelled .

Ding dong ................Ding-Dong ,Ding-Dong ,Ding-Dong ,Ding-Dong the doorbell rang over and over again .

' Who the hell is that ? ' Yuki thought

Kaoru knew exactly who it was and he jogged to the door . Only one person would ring the bell lilke that . He flung it open .

" Uncle Tatsu !!!!!! "

" Kaoru , my favorite nephew !!!! " Tatsuha cried pulling hisn nephew into a noogie . " Wassup ?! "

" Nothing much " Kaoru answered pulling himself out of the noogie and fixing his hair . " You ? "

"I'm good . Needed a break from praying for a while "

They made their way to the couch and began talking about girls

Yuki realized he was out of coffee and knew he couldnt write more with out it . He got up , grabed his mug off the desk and made his way to the door of his study . He grabed the doorknob and took a deep breath , bracing himself for Tatsuha's wrath . Finally he opened the door and made his way to the kitchen .

" You see the thing about dating alot of girls at one time, is making each one feel special . See what you have to do is ....................Aniki!!!! " Tatsuha yelled noticing his brother .

" Go home! " Yuki yelled from the kitchen .

" Now why would I do that whenI could spend time with my favorite big brother . " Tatsuha said making his way to the kitchen . Kaoru in close pursuit .

" Bite me " Yuki said

Tatsuha made his way to the fridge and got himself a beer . He turned to Kaoru " You want one ? " " yeah" Kaoru said . Tatsuha tossed him a beer but it was caught mid-flight by Eiri . " Your the worst uncle ever " he said replacing the beer in the fridge and tossing Kaoru a soda instead. Which he caught . Tatsuha turned to Kaoru and shrugged " I tried man " " Thanks " Kaoru laughed .

They all sat around the island in the middle of theKitchen . " So why are you here anyway " Eiri asked his younger brother .

"I decided to take a little time off and come visit Ryuichi . He's working at the moment so I thought I'd come visit you guys . "

Tatsuha and Ryuichi have been dating long distance for a little over a year .

" So how long are you staying in Tokyo?" Kaoru asked his uncle . " A week maybe longer " Tatsuha answered " Awesome ! "

" Note to self . Commit suicide " Eiri said aloud as he walked over to the counter to see if his coffee finished yet . Tatsuha and Kaoru laughed . " So how's grandpa-Uesugi ? " Kaoru asked " I dont supposed he's kicked the bucket yet , huh ? " Eiriasked hopefully " Nope " Tatsuha chuckled . " He's still alive and kicking . " Yuki groaned .

" I know Shu is at work . I saw the press conference . Congrats bro" Yuki groaned again " But where's Keisuke and baby bombshell ? "

Keisuke is upstairs writing a new story, so i'm not surprised he hasent heard you . When he writes he's in his own little world . And Meiko stayed with dad because Kanai is there too . I expect they are causing hell " Kaoru answered . " And you're not there with them ? ! " Tatsuha asked shocked . " I have to finish a song I'm writing " Kaoru said

" How about you do your homework ? " Eiri said adding sugar to his now finished coffee .

" Whats the point in doing homework when he's gonna be famous one day ? " tatsuha said

" Yeah " Kaoru agreed .

" He's already famous " Yuki said .

" On his own accord I mean "

" Yeah on my own accord "

" You're a bad influence on my kids , Tatsuha " Yuki said .

" Then I'm fulfilling my duty as uncle " Tatsuha said . He and Kaoru laughed .

" As much as I'd love to continue this conversation , I must return to my work before Shuichi comes home . " Yuki said making his way out of the kitchen

" But Aniki !!!!!!!!!!! "Tatsuha whined

" Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad !!!!!!!!!! Kaoru joined in . They both grabbed one of Yuki's legs causing him to spill all of his coffee on the white marble floor .

' One week ? ' he thought ' oh yeah suicide is looking good right now '


" Ok guys I think we're done . Thanks for the pictures and congratulations. " said the photographer for Pop Beat

"Thank You " Bad Luck replied .

" Ok , we're done " K announced " How do you feel guys ? "

" I'm still in a bit of shock " Hiro said

" Yeah Suguru agreed " but ....uh.... who's gonna wake up Mr. Sakano ? " Mr. Sakano hadfaintedwhen he heard the news . He was still out cold.

" Dont worry I'll get him home, you guys go home a get some rest . And oh yeah , you dont have to come in tomorrow . " K informed them . He picked up Sakano and left " Make sure you call me tomorrow with the plans for tomorrows celebration. "

" I'm beat " Suguru said " I'll see you guys later " he left toward the parking lot .

" Come on , Meiko ! " Shuichi yelled at his daughter " Time to go home " She ran toward him , Kanai following behind her . " Congratulations Uncle Shu" she said hugging her uncle . " Thanks sweetie . Tell your dad i'll see him tomorow. Make sure you come with us tomorrow also ok ? " " Ok, I will " Kanai gave her cousin a hug then ran off to her dads office upstairs.

" Uncle Hiro can I have a piggy-back ride to the car ? " Meiko asked Hiro " Of course hun . Hop on " Hiro lowered himself so Meiko could hop on his back . They began to walk towards the car . " I cant believe it Hiro . Ten Million copies! " Shuichi said " I know . I still cant believe it . We've got Yuki-san to thank " " I know . He's such a great writer " " I'm lucky " Meiko said " I've got two very talented dads " " You sure do " Hiro agreed . Shuichi blushed .

They were now at the car . Hiro let Meiko down . " Well my bike is over there " Hiro said pointing in the direction of his motorcycle . " I'll see you guys tomorrow. I'll call so we can make plans for celebrating . " " Bye uncle Hiro " Meiko said giving Hiro a hug and a kiss on the cheek " Bye princess " He walked over to Shuichi . Shuichi pulled him into a hug . " Thanks Hiro " " For what ?" " For being the best friend anyone could ever ask for " " Well, its a hard job but someone's got to do it " Hiro said smiling " I'm glad I can share this with you, Hiro " " Likewise ,Shu-chan " They finally let go . " I'll call you tomorrow " " Bye " Hiro walked away towards his motorcycle.

" Alright , In you get " Shuichi said to Meiko as he opened the car doors. Once they were in the car and buckled up Shuichi pulled out his cell phone and called Yuki . " Yeah we're on our way now so call for the food ok? Adn make sure you get three this time.Ok. Love you . Bye " he hung up and started the car .

" Ready to go eat some Sukiyaki ? " he asked Meiko with a smile

" Yup, i'm starving "


Yuki had given up on trying to work . Tatsuha and Kaoru just wouldnt have it . At the moment they were now blasting Bad Lucks Diamond song 'Only You ' ( as a surprise for Shuichi when he gets home ) and having a balloon fight . Yukiwent in the kitchen totryand place the order for the Sukiyaki.

" Can I have 3 family sized bowls please . Yes it is for only one family . Why do you care why I need three family sized bowls ,I just do . Look you either take the order and deliver it orI hang up and order elsewhere. Alright how long will it take toget here. Alright . " he hung up the phone and made his way back into theliving room . " The food should be here in 20 minutes! " he yelled over the music

" Did you order three bowls this time?" Kaoru asked

" Yeah "

" Ok good . Because last time me ,daddy and Meiko were still hungry after two . "

Keisuke began walking down the stairs.

" Keisuke , my favorite nephew! " Tatsuha yelled once he caught site of him " I thoughtI was the favorite nephew ? " Kaoru asked with a smile " Ah, you're both twins. Same difference. "

" Hey Uncle Tatsu. " Keisuke said " I thought I heard you "

" Grab a balloon and join the fun " he said just as Kaoru caught him in the face with a blow.

" Ok "

Yuki sat on the counch and lit a cigarette. ' Someone kill me ' he thought . Just then Shuichi and Meiko walked in yelling " We're hoooooooome !!!! " . They were heard loud and clear even though the music blasted in the background .

" UNCLE TATSU!!!!!!!! "

" BOMBSHELL !!!!! "

Meiko ran to her uncle and gave him a huge hug . Tatsuha picked her up and spun her around. Keisuke and Kaoru continued to balloon fight . " Wow is there a party going on here or what ?" Shuichi said with a smile making his way to the livingroom. " Hey Tatsuha ! " " Hey Shu-chan much congrats on the cd! " " Thanks " " Hey Meiko , here's a balloon . Lets get your brothers " Tatsuha encouraged " Ok ! "

Shuichi sat on the couch next to Yuki and laid his headon his shoulder . " The food's on its way " Yuki said " Thanks " " Hey I just ordered it no need for a thank you " "Not for the food . For the song , for everything. " " Hey I just wrote it , you performed it . You should get the credit " " Yeah I guess " " Hey ! " Shuichi smiled . " But thanks anyway" Shuichi said " Whatever " Shuichi kissed Yuki on the cheek. " Ok love birds enough " Tatsuha yelled and they all started to attack Shuichi with the balloons . " Hey no fair ! " Shuichi yelled getting up off the couch grabing a balloon for himself and then chasing everyone around the livingroom . Yuki just sat there finishing off his cigarette. This went on for about five minutes and then everyone began attacking Yuki . " Ok , are you guys asking for me to hurt you ? " he yelled , but they all ignored him . The doorbell rang and he ran off to open it . The food had arrived . " $134.96" the delivery man said . Yuki paid and then walked over to the stereo and turned it off . Everone stoped fighting . " The food is here " he announced " Lets eat "

" Well , I'd better be going " Tatsuha said letting go of his balloon .

" Awwwwwww " the kids and Shuichi cried

" About time " Yuki said

" Why ? " Meiko asked " Cant you stay and eat with us "

" No . I promised Ryuichi we'd go out to eat tonight once he got off from work . " Tatsuha explained " Besides with your appitites , there's no way there's enough food for all of us " Tatsuha laughed

" Ya got that right " Yuki said putting the food down on the dining room table .

" Oh, alright "Meiko said sadly " Dont worry" Tatsuha said " I'll come by tomorrow ! " " Ok ! " Meiko cried

" Go home !! " Yuki yelled " I love you too Aniki ! " Tatsuha yelled back

Tatsuha said his goodbyes and left .

" Thanks for the decorations guys " Shuichi said " I did them all myself daddy " Kaoru said as they walked to the dining room table . They had dinner, Meiko made a toast to her dads acknowledging their talents.After dinner theydanced a little to" Only You " and then went to bed feeling happier than ever .


The next morning morning Yuki , like always , was in the kitchen cooking breakfast . This morning , becon,cheese and chives omlettes. Yuki pressed the intercom " Alright guys , wake up . Except you Shuichi . You can dont have to this morning " " Too late " Yuki spun around to see Shuichi smiling at him . " How come when you dont have to work , you wake up on time " Yuki asked smirking . " I dunno " Shuichi said " Can I help ? " " NO " Yuki sayed " We dont want burnt breakfast" " Fair enough " Twenty minutes later the kids came down into the kitchen.

" Daddy! " Kaoru said surprised " What are you doing up ? "

" I dunno " Shuichi answered " Ready to eat? "

The all sat around the dining room table having breakfast for the first time in a long time as a fullfamily . The doorbell rang .

" Daddy can you get that ? " Kaoru asked clearing his plate. " I have to go upstairs and get my bookbag "

" Me too , pop "

" Me three "

" Ok " Shuichi agreed . He ran to open the door as the kids ran upstair to their room for their backpacks .

" Hello " Shuichi greeted with a smile . The three boys stood in shock . Their mouths wide open . Shuichi filled the silence . " You must be Keisuke and Kaoru's friends . Come in . " Miwa and Travis seemed to regain their composure but Kenji couldnt move . Miwa walked behind him and pushed him inside . They made their way to the couch and sat down . Shuichi sat on the floor across from them. " The kids are upstairs getting their backpacks. So whats your names ? " Shuichi asked .

" I'm Miwa "

" and I'm Travis "

" And thats Kenji " Miwa answered for Kenji " Forgive his silence . He's a big fan of yours "

" Oh , ok " Shuichi chuckled .

" Oh , I see the big mouth is finally speechless " Yuki had just walked into the living room . " What's the matter Kenji ? Cat's got your tongue? " Yuki was apparently enjoying himslef

" Yuki ! " Shuichi repremanded " Dont tease him "

" Whatever " he sat down on the couch and watched the conversation .

" Congratulations Shindou-san , On your single going diamond " Travis said

" Oh Thank you " " I suppose you guys are coming to Keisuke's and Kaoru's birthday party ? "

"Oh yeah " Miwa said " Cant wait "

At that moment Meiko , Keisuke and Kaoru came running down the stairs , bookbags in hand .

" You guys ready to go ? " Shuichi asked

" Daddy , can you walk with us ? " Meiko asked .

" I dunno . I dont think you guys want me to join you . " Shuichi blushed

" No Shindou-san , it would be an honor " Kenji seemed to have regained his composure

" Can I really ? ! " Shuichi asked his eyes getting wide " I havent walked to school in ages ! " Then lets go daddy " Kaoru said

" Alright ! " Shuichi exclaimed " Lets go Lets go ! " he sang as he went to the door and put on his shoes " Yuki I'll be back soon . Love you ! "

" Hnnn" Yuki groaned " Make sure you takeyour phone and your keys . I dont wanna stop in the middle of work and open the door for you. " " Ok"

"Bye dad " the kids yelled " Bye " They left .

" Wow I cant believe i'm walking to school with Shindou-san of Bad Luck " Kenji said in awe .

" Please call me Shuichi. I'm rarely called Shindou-san and your my kids friends so its ok " Shuichi smiled .

" So i bet your psyched about the single going diamond , huh ? " Kenji asked

" Yeah it's shocking " Shuichi answered

" That kiss was shocking too " Kenji said smiling

" Shut up ! " Shuichi said blushing and smiling as he shoved Kenji playfully . They all laughed . Shuichi acted just like kid .

" You really are just like Kaoru " Miwa said

" I guess " Shuichi responded " Hey you guys wanna come celebrate with us tonight . We're celebrating the single going diamond. "

" Yeah Kenji " Meiko said " come with us "

" How can I resist those eyes " Kenji said to Meiko which made her blush . Everyone laughed .

" Ok " all three boys said

" Awesome ! " Shuichi smiled .

They turned the corner onto the block of their schools and froze .

" Uh-oh " Meiko said

" What the ..........." said Kaoru

" How? " Keisuke asked

" Wow " Miwa Travis and Kenji said in unison

Shuichi pulled out his phone and dialed Yuki's cell number .

"Yeah ? " Yuki answered

" Uh , Yuki we have a problem " Shuichi said " The paparazzi know where the kids go to school now " he finished in shock

Yuki fell silent

' Aw Shit ! ' he thought ' Keisuke'


End of chapter 4 ( I think lol ) I hope you like I totally pulled a Stephen King( i made that up ) in this chapter . What i mean is I put alot of detail in this chapter . I dunno why .I wanted to show how Keisuke went back to normal for awhile. Please tell me if you mind or not.I've already finished all the major scenes it's filling in the blanks that's hard. Kaoru will really HATE his parents after awhile . We'll gradually see him go insane Oh and to what someone said in reviews, i said it in the character profiles, i will be saying how the kids were born and why they look like Yuki and Shuichi. I've already written it but it wont come till the end SAWY!

Ok the house elf reference is totally from Harry Potter ( year 6 out july 16th wohoo lol ) , I totally love Cheese , Chives and bacon omlettes . Except i eat veggie bacon.I'm Vegetarian ., I love Sukiyaki !!! I know the price looks like alot but i rounded . Veggie Sukiyaki is about 17.95 per single bowl , beef Sukiyaki is about 19.95 . I kinda guessed what a family beef bowl price would be and multiplied it by three adding a couple more dollars ( like 5 bucks ) . either way it's kinda expensive, and the whole part where Kenji froze in front of Shuichi I took from my own experience . I'm a huge John Mayer fan but when i met him i froze . Totally embarassing !!! My friend had to ask for his autograph for me . PATHETIC !! Oh Yeah and going diamond is a real thing .I didnt make it up . When an artist sells 10 million copies of a cd, album or single, they call it " going diamond" . There's Gold ( 500,000),Platnium (1million),(you go platnium until you reach 10 mill.ex. tripleplatnium) then Diamond. (10 million) . just a little music fact .

Anyway in the next chapter we'll see how Keisuke reacts to the press being at his school, how Yuki and Shuichi will handle it and the diamond party. It will seem like everything is happening to Keisuke in the next chapter...........

Until next time.................
