For those of you who don't know, itai means ouch. I don't use much Japanese but I use this without thinking so deal with it.

And I might be killing Yuki Eiri off, just so you know. I'm not sure yet, but I might. If he doesn't come out for his feelings, I will definitely, else I might consider Tohma saving him. keyword being 'might'.


"Shu, Shu! Lookit, lookit Ryu-chan found na no da!"

"What, what is it?"

Ryuichi beamed and pointed at the yaoi closet.

"You found it! That's great!"

He knocked on the door hesitantly. "Hiroooo? You there? K-san?"

There was no response. Ryuichi opened the door. Empty.

"Waaagh! They're not there!"

"Something must've happened to K-san na no da!"

The singers both started crying. The combination of both their voices at maximum power was enough to shake the building. They were too occupied to notice something like that, however.


"Oh my god! It's an earthquake!"

"Don't worry, Nori-chan, I'll protect you!"

A piece of ceiling crashed down onto poor Sakano. "Itai…"

"Oh, Sakano-kun!"

'Don't worry, Nori-chan, due to my incredible ability to become a puddle of stressed goo, I can survive things like this! He only drawback is that I keep leaking away, so it would be nice if you could get a bucket, like, quickly?"

"Okay!" Noriko dashed off to get a bucket, as Sakano continued dripping into the basement. "Just put it in the basement where I am dripping, okay?"

"Sure thing!"


"What the hell!" Yuki quickly sidestepped the droplets that came falling from the ceiling. First there was this hellish noise, then that earthquake that was going on too long for an ordinary one, and now there was freaky stuff coming form the ceiling! Because that was definitely not water. They looked kinda like… Brains, maybe. Yeah, brains or intestines or something. Or blood.

"There aren't any stairs nearby so I'll just smash the floor, okay?"

Smash the floor? And it was coming from above him. Eiri's eyes widened and he dashed away, just in time to avoid being buried under the collapsing ceiling.

"Ah, there you are, Sakano-kun!"

Noriko put a bucket under him. She had conveniently brought a mope along as well. She moped him up, and put him into the bucket. "There, better?"

He smiled at her (don't ask how goo can smile; I am as confused as you are) "Yes, much

"Oh, it depends, this earthquake makes it rather hard, but I'll be okay in a few minutes I think."

"Great, 'cause I wasn't finished yet!" She winked at him.

Okay. Eiri was now officially freaked out. But at least he now had a way out of this creepy basement.

He decided to climb out before they noticed. With a little struggling (Noriko found that Sakano made good body paint do she was distracted) he managed to pop his head through the hole Noriko had made. His mouth fell open again and all that, much to his annoyance, and he wondered what the fuck that girl had used to smash the floor with. An intercontinental missile perhaps?

He shook his head in disbelief and climbed into the room. He ignored the typical scent that hung there (he didn't want to get any images of those two, well, you know) and headed out into the hallway.

Where he was promptly run over by a high speed Ryuichi and Shuichi, who had decided it wouldn't help their friends if they cried and had went to look for them. The three of them collapsed right back through the hole into the basement, and the floor shattered as well, cutting off their way out.

"Ah, Ryu-chan, Shu-chan! How are you? Haven't seen you two for a while!"

"Nori-chan!" Ryuichi glomped him, dragging Shuichi (who was still shock up from the two meter drop) along with him.

"Ryu-chan had loads of fun with Shu no da, but now Hiro an' K are missing an' we're gonna rescue them 'cause Kumagoro said they are kidnapped by a herd of kiwi's na no da!"

"I don't think they were kidnapped by kiwi's, Ryu-chan…"

"Not no da?" Ryuichi looked at her innocently. Noriko shook her head.

While Noriko explains to Ryuichi that it's unlikely for kiwi's to kidnap people and that even if they did, K would have probably shot them anyway, Shuichi noticed Yuki sitting there, looking like he had been eaten by a snail, spit back out, ran over by a pack of wild cats and got no sleep whatsoever in the process. (you need to be pretty good if you can sleep during any of that, but that's beside the poin) Which was pretty much how he felt as well, but that's also beside the point.

The point is, that they now had eye-contact. So yeah, they just kinda sat there staring at each other, Yuki filled with great longing and even greater denial, and Shuichi filled with matra's along the lines of 'I'm not going to cry, Ryu will protect me, waaagh I'm scared!'. So yeah. They sat there, and, um, why don't we go see how Hiro and K are doing?


"Mwwwhmmahmm!"

"Cry for merci! Suffer! Ahahahaha!"

"Mwhwhuhmmmamhmmm!"

"Ahahahahahahahaha!"

Okay, okay, not interesting…


Ryuichi looked at the two bishonen staring at each other. Poor Shu-chan seemed scared to death! And meanie Yuki was looking kinda lethal, Ryuichi guessed, so he had a right. Kumaguro was scared as well. But Ryu-chan had to protect his Shu-chan!

So he did, and he glomped Shuichi, yelling "Shu they weren't kidnapped by evil kiwi's after all na no da!" effectively breaking eye contact and thus getting things moving again. Thank goodness. I was afraid they were going to stare at each other forever!

Shuichi clung onto Ryuichi for dear life and started crying again. Yuki said nothing and got up, and walked away.

Noriko looked at him funny.

"What are you looking at, bitch!"

She huffed. "I was going to tell you something about that way you're going, but I'm not saying it now!"

Yuki glanced at her and walked on wordlessly. Once he was out of sight and earshot, Shuichi calmed down. "Where are we, Ryu?"

"Tohma's torture basement na no da. Ryu-chan is scared! There's lot's of icky stuff down here no da!"

"Seguchi-san has a torture basement in the NG records building? I mean, if he has a creepy hobby that's one thing, but why doesn't he do it at home?"

"Because his wife won't let him. I wouldn't if I were his wife, either. Now, Ryu-chan, Shu-chan, Sakano-kun (She winked, he licked his lips, Shuichi looked at the two of them funny) It would be a good idea if we got out of here as soon as possible. I don't know what might happen to us if we stay here too long."

Shuichi and Ryuichi clung together and began sniffling, indicating they might just cause another earthquake again.

"Ack, I mean, I'm sure we'll be fine!"

They sniffled again, but seemed to be reinsured. "So, umm, let's get going, okay?"

The three men nodded and followed her lead (Heeheee, Nori-chan's got them all wrapped around her finger 3) as she went the opposite direction that Eiri had gone.


"Hey, Tatsuha-kun, don't you think Ryu-chan and Shuichi-kun have been gone for pretty long? I'm getting a little worried. After all, the yaoi closet isn't that far away."

"Aww, c'mon, think for yourself, the sight of Nakano-san and K-san probably inspired them! And after that little nap, they've got plenty of energy."

Suguru looked at him. "I guess that's true. Oh well, let's continue then."

"Aww, Su-kun, can't we take a break!"

"We've had a break just half an hour ago."

"Su-kuuun!"

"No."

"Meanie!"


Shuichi was seriously scared to death by all the blood and gore and other things that are so sick I shall not describe them, as to not pollute your minds. Seriously.

It had come to the point he couldn't even walked anymore, and so Ryuichi was now carrying him. Shuichi felt something would grab him and drag him to some unspeakable place if he let go now. Ryuichi was so brave! He shivered at the thought of having to walk.

"Don't worry, Shu, Ryu-chan an' Kumaguro will protect you na no da!"

"It's already really brave of you to walk here and carry me!"

Ryuichi giggled and squeezed his lover. Noriko squealed like a fan girl.

"Aww, you two are so cute together!"

They smiled and walked along in Silence for a few moments. Shuichi was beginning to wonder just how big this basement-thing was. They must be walking for hours now!

"…Kuma says he heard someone laughing na no da."

"What sick person would be (whimper) laughing in a place like this!"

Ryuichi and Noriko choose not to answer that.

They walked on (or were carried on) in Silence for a few more moments, until the laughter began getting too loud and it couldn't be considered Silence anymore.

"Ne, Ryu, do you think maybe Seguchi-san got Hiro and K and is keeping them here or something?"

Ryuichi stopped walking abruptly. "That would explain why he is laughing like that no da…"

"That's Seguchi laughing?" Shuichi's eyes nearly bugged out. "Whoa, he keeps getting creepier and creepier!"

"Nori-chan! We have to save them na no da!"

Sakano began stressing and turned into goo. Noriko sighed and put him into the bucket she was still dragging along. Ryuichi dashed off to save K and Hiro.

"Wait, Ryu-chan, that's the wrong way!"

"But that's where the laughing is coming from no da!"

"Yeah, but that's a dead end."

"Wow, Ukai-san, you really know the way here well!"

She sighed. "Don't. Ask."

"But Nori-chan, we have to save them! Will you show us the way na no da?"

Both cute singing bishonen gave her the puppy dog eyes. And who'd be able to resist both Ryuichi and Shuichi! Noriko sighed.

"I guess that Nakano-kun seemed like a good person, so I'll help you."

"Yay, thank you thank you thank you no da!"

"Thanks, Ukai-san!"

She smiled and gave them the V-sign. "This way, men!" She marched off.


Okay. Eiri was now seriously scared. Yes, you hear that right. Yuki Eiri, the Yuki Eiri, cold and cool, was scared. Scared to his very core. So far, he'd been nearly cut in half, he'd been eaten alive by bats (the wounds hurt like hell!) and he suspected he'd also been poisoned by something or another. And those were only a few of the many things he'd had to endure.

And he was still lost. Maybe he should have apologized to that Ukai. He sighed. He had sunk pretty deep, when he was thinking about apologizing. He sighed again for good measure, and dodged a bunch of arrows. He was getting good at that.


Muahahahaha, I've got this crazy plot twist for the next chapter! Yessir, you're in for a surprise!

Thank you, rebelyell59, for reviewing! I uploaded the chapter, and after precisely 15 minutes, you'd already reviewed XD!

qwerty54 ,also loads of thank you's to you. And I never learnt to write from anyone, the fics hosted on FFnet are the first I wrote. I just read a helluva lot of fan fictions by other people before I started on my own.

And...Free server? Where, where, tell me! XD


I got just two (sniff) reviews though. It's that I love this story so much, else I wouldn't have continued. But just so you know, it is nearing its ending. I actually planned ahead instead of letting the story write itself. It was pretty hard.

Anyway, please review (begs) How about something nice to reward/bribe you with? Name anything you want! (Mind sinks into the gutter again. Sigh. I am so pathetic.)
