Sorry it took so long for me to update. My dog had puppies and I've been taking care of them. They're sooo cute! Anyway, thanks for all the reviews. They made me happy!

Loss Part 2/2

The rest of the tour had been canceled so that the participating bands could be flown back to Japan for their friend's funeral. Everyone had taken Shuichi's death very hard, but no one was as hurt as Eiri.

A small group of Shuichi's closest friends, which consisted of his family, Yuki, and almost everyone who worked at NG, gathered around his casket.

Tatshua was busy trying to comfort his older brother who refused to let any tears fall in public. No matter how hard he tried, he could not succeed.

Eiri wept on his brother's shoulder. Ignoring his tears, Ryuichi was trying to help Tatsuha keep his balance under the elder Useugi. Yuki may have been a cold bastard toward the boy, but he truly had loved him, through thick and thin.

'This is all my fault' he thought. 'If I hadn't told him to come home, he'd still be here with me.'

After the funeral had ended, the people had cleared out, leaving only Eiri. He knelt down in front of his lover's gravestone. Now that everyone was gone, he cried without restraint. He no longer cared if anyone saw him.

"Hey brat," he traced the words carved into the rock lightly with his finger. They read 'Here Lies Shuichi Shindou: To Heaven I Hope His Soul Has Gone' (A/N 1)

"I don't know if you can hear me or not," he continued. "But there are some things that I wanted to tell you. I never came out and said it, but I really do love you. I know it doesn't sound like something I'd say, but I really want to be with you right now. And do you know why I wanted you to come home the other day?"

He took a small box out of his pocket and opened it. He set it down so that it was facing Shuichi's tombstone. In it was a ring with a small diamond.

"I was going to give this to you." Yuki wiped some tears from his face.

"I know how long you've wanted this. I finally try to give it to you, I try to chow you how much I truly love you, and you go and get yourself killed."

He stood up and sighed. "What am I going to do without you, Shu?" Yuki started to walk away. He then turned and added softly "I'll be back tomorrow."

Eiri showed up early the next morning just as he had promised. He carried three items with him including a bouquet of roses and the picture of Shuichi and Eiri that the young boy had treasured.

He laid the flowers beside the rock in front of him and set the picture next to them.

Yuki took the third item and examined it.

"You know, Shuichi," He no longer sounded sad. He now sounded somewhat happy. "I've been thinking and I've come to realize that my life was hell before you came along. I have also realized that now that you're gone, I'll never be truly happy again."

He placed the item in his hand, a gun, in his mouth.

"I'll see you soon, sweetie."

He squeezed the trigger.

Eiri 'Yuki' Uesugi's life was ended that day.

The next day another group of people gathered for the famous novelist's funeral.

He was buried right next to his young lover. They could finally be together forever.

The End

1: I can't remember what Kitazawa's grave said, but that's what Shu's was supposed to say.

It's still pretty short, but I guessI can live with it. I hoped you liked it. Please R&R!
