Well here's chapter 5, sorry it took so long to come out, I've been busy with stuff, but the main fact is it is here now! So...yeah...

Chapter 5

Shuichi wandered down the streets of New York focusing on the blonde strands swaying back and forth on Eiri's head. He was content just following; he was already forewarned that if he was to get lost Eiri wouldn't be coming to find him. He would have to find his way home by himself. Lately Eiri had been in a different mood. Something was bothering him and Shuichi didn't know what it was nor did he know what to do.

Somebody cut in front of Shuichi causing him to avert in another direction to get behind Eiri again. He reached his hand out clutching onto his shirt and holding Eiri back until he caught up. He held onto his shirt for awhile longer not wanting to get lost. The streets of New York were crowded, and he wasn't sure what was or is lurking around.

The offer that had been made to him earlier constantly popped into his head, causing his mind to wander and his eyes to fade. Before he knew it he had let go of Eiri's shirt and Eiri was nowhere to be found.

'Great.' he thought, 'another thing to worry about.' He looked over the crowd for his blonde love only to find nobody that belonged to his heart. He tried hollering his name, but received no reply in return. Eiri was truly lost. Or was it that Shuichi was lost? Eiri knew how to get around in New York, but Shuichi would only cause chaos to the poor unsuspecting city.

Someone bumped into him knocking him over. The man glanced behind him and saw a pink head with a beautiful slender body picking themselves up and waltzed over to help. He grabbed onto Shuichi's arm gently wrapping his arms around him to help him up.

"I'm so sorry miss. I can't believe I missed a beautiful girl...like...a man?" He paused as he slid his hand across Shuichi's chest feeling his flat chest and the outline of his ribs, "I'm sorry sir. I didn't realize a young man like yourself could look so beautiful. My names' Rick." Shuichi winced at the man's attempts to flirt with him. He quickly nodded and turned away, "Wait!" He caught a hold of Shuichi's wrist pulling him closer to him yet again, "Let me at least treat you to a drink? Please, it's the least I could do?" Shuichi felt a pang of guilt vibrate through his body and agreed. Shuichi later revealed his name to Rick as they drove through town in his car.

"Where is this place?" Shuichi questioned feeling a heavy warning feeling in his heart as they passes a third bar.

"Oh, my place. I have drinks there." Shuichi nodded eerily. Something in his mind was telling him to get out, but being Shuichi, he chose to stay.

They pulled into a long narrow driveway that led to a gray colored house with two windows in the front. Blue curtains draped in front of the windows, hiding the inside. It had a homey look to it that comforted Shuichi.

Shuichi walked through the door feeling the warm air brush against his face as he sat down on the couch slowing sinking in. Rick locked the door behind him and headed into the kitchen. Shuichi heard clattering going around in the kitchen before Rick appeared with two glasses with liquid contained in them. He motioned his head for Shuichi to follow him and went down the dimly lit hallway. Shuichi slid his fingers across the wall as he walked, his fingers gently touching the ridges.

Rick paused at a door motioning for help with the doorknob. Reluctantly Shuichi got the hint and opened the door to find a queen bed with white and blue sheets, with two pillows on it. A nightstand stood to the right of the door. Rick casually walked in placing the glasses down and tugged Shuichi through the doorway.

"Um..the living room would be more open." Shuichi said nervously. Rick smirked and sat down on the bed lightly tapping his hands for Shuichi to repeat. He did all the way at the corner.

"What ever do you mean?" Rick sat next to him placing his arm on Shuichi's shoulder, "You don't think I would do you?" Shuichi's shoulder tensed up as he pulled away falling off the bed. He desperately tried to scramble to his feet, but found Rick quickly standing over him, "Come on Shuichi, what the heck could I do to you?" Shuichi stepped back bumping into the nightstand as he watched a shadow emerge out of a nearby room. It stalked its way over, breathing heavy with every step. Slowly it emerged into the light, but not well enough to reveal the face hidden behind it.

Shuichi's heart was racing so fast, it felt as if he was going to die of shock. He stared out at Rick and to the figure. Eiri kept popping into his mind. He wondered if he missed him, if he was looking for him. If he even cared, of if he was with Kitazawa. But the voice called interrupting his thoughts.

"Shuichi, what on earth were you thinking?"

"You're..."

Oooh...I shall cut you all off here! Mwahaha -What'd you think? Comment and review!
