Sorry for the very long wait! I had a major (as in, really major!) case of writers block, but on the other hand, I also had e great creative drawing explosion (well, until I ran out of paper and stuff). So yeah, it took a while. But here it is.

"Scream for merci! Muahahaha!"

This was getting clichéd. Couldn't he think of something else? Maybe he spent all his creativity on thinking up all those torture methods. Yeah, that must be it. He was getting numb again. Which meant Seguchi was going to move on to the next thing soon. He didn't allow them to just sit it out numbly…

All of a sudden Seguchi Tohma shut up. Then he sighed. "Aww, you guys are no fun. You don't struggle anymore, you don't scream. Can't you show some more guts! Else I'll just poison you and you can die slowly and painfully. Is that what you want? To die alone?"

Alone? As long as K was with him, he wasn't alone.

K…

He hadn't ever told him he liked him… He'd been planning to, but as things were standing now, he might not ever get the chance…

Seguchi looked at his victims. Actually, they'd held out pretty well. They'd been struggling and glaring at him until a while ago. They were the best so far, probably. Maybe he'd take pity and kill them relatively painlessly…

…

Naaaah, there was no fun in that. But what would be the most suited way to kill them…?

Justas Tohma began thinking up ways to kill the two, the door burst open.

"Kyaaaaah!"

"Whaaaaaaaah!"

Ryuichi stormed in yelling, dragging Shuichi (also yelling) with him. Tohma was temporarily paralyzed because his eardrums nearly popped. Ryuichi took the opportunity to pin the guy down. (Take that, Tohma!) Noriko quickly grabbed some handcuffs (Tohma had plenty lying around in the torture room) and bound him.

Shuichi spotted Hiro and K lying there, bound, bleeding in sensitive places (and not-so sensitive places) and stuff like that. His first instinct was to cling to Ryuichi and scream "Ewww! Cover yourself or something!" But he figured maybe that wouldn't go down too well. So instead he clung to Ryuichi and started crying. Noriko was too busy constraining Tohma to notice him. Ryuichi hushed him while freeing Hiro and K (don't ask me how he did that with Shuichi clinging to him).

They sat up groggily, grunting at the pain. Shuichi managed to calm himself down to support Hiro. Ryuichi supported K and they slowly got up.

"We'll get you to a hospital na no da…"

Shuichi nodded. Hiro and K grunted. "You'll be okay, Hiro!"

"Uhn…K…"

K grunted in response.

"I… I…I love you…" (That is so cliché, Hiro!)

Shuichi stared. Ryuichi stared. K stared.

"Hiro… That was so… Cliché…"

"Ryu-chan thinks it was really sweet na no da!"

K just stared, dumbfound, so Hiro continued. "While I was lying there I thought I was going to die without ever telling you that, so I…I just…"

Then, K finally smiled, and wrapped his arms around Hiro. Soon they were engaged in a passionate kiss.

"Hey, I know it's hard to keep your hands off each other, but this isn't really the place, y'know. We should probably go, who knows what'll happen if we stay here for too long!"

"Ukai-san is right! If you wanna make out, you should go to the yaoi closet!"

"Actually, Shu, your sister Maiko-chan has turned that into a shrine to the Ultimate Yaoi Goddes-Fangirl na no da. She's there, praying with a bunch of other girls no da."

Shuichi stared. "Seriously? That explains why she was gone all of a sudden…You know, I never knew she was into yaoi and shonen-ai at all."

"Ryu-chan has seen lotsa girls turn into yaoi fangirls all of a sudden no da! Kuma says it's a contagious disease."

"Oh, I see, so-

Hey, you two, save the small talk for when we're back in the main building! Now get moving!"

Noriko grabbed the bucket with Sakano in it, and dragged the other men (including a struggling Tohma) out of the room. K grabbed his gun on the way out.

She headed towards the stairs, but didn't get very far before she ran into Yuki Eiri.

"Whoah! You actually survived! I thought you'd be long dead by now!"

Shuichi hid behind Ryuichi, who hid behind Noriko.

"Well, I feel quite dead, I'll give you that much."

"Eiri-san! Help me!"

Eiri looked at him funny. I guess it was a rather funny sight. Noriko, dragging with her: two scared bishonen singers, two tortured and still naked other pretty gay men, Seguchi Tohma dressed in a leather suit, and a bucket of manager-goo.

"What the fuck is going on here…?"

Noriko sweat dropped. "It's a long story…" (37206 words so far!)

"So…What are you going to do with him?"

Noriko blinked. What were they going to do with him?

"Um, kill him?"

"No need, I'm already poisoned."

"Oh, right."

Silence fell.

…

…

"Well, gang, let's get going. Farewell, Yuki-san."

"Hey, wait! Are you just gonna leave me here, bitch!"

"Yeah, because you keep calling me bitch!"

Sakano made some gurgling noises which Yuki took were supposed to be an agreement. She stuck her nose up in the air and walked past him, her 'gang' tagging along.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I won't call you a bitch anymore! This place freaks me out, get me out of here!"

"Whoah, Eiri-san, you apologised!" Tohma stared at him dumbfound.

"Yeah, and it's all your fault for making this place so freakin' sick and… and eww and bloody and stuff!"

Everyone sweat dropped. It reminded Tohma of the whole apologising-to-Ryuichi-to-get-him-to-tell-you-some-big-secret-about-the-poison-thingy. His ego was damaged now anyway… And Eiri had done it, too, so that was good… right?

"Ano… Shindo-san?"

"Wha?" Shuichi began freaking out.

"Imsorryfortryingtokillyoupleaseforgiveme."

"Huh?" Shuichi looked confused. Noriko's eyes nearly bugged out. She must've misheard! Tohma apologised! She was having a heart attack!

Tohma looked away. "There, I did it. Now tell me, Ryuichi."

Ryuichi looked at him in shock. "How did you know I wanted you to apologise to Shu?"

"Mika told me."

"Oh, I see. Well… I know you're not actually sorry, since you just went and tried to kill K-san and Hiro-kun as well, but I guess it's enough that you're willing enough to say you are…"

The silence was thick.

"…I switched the poison with water."

Tohma's eyes nearly bugged out. Noriko quickly took a picture. No one was going to believe this without one!

"So…I'm not going to die?"

Ryuichi shook his head. "But that doesn't mean-

Ryuichi was cut off by a scream as K pulled his gun and shot Tohma. Everyone stared as he fell to the ground. "Oww! That hurt! What did you do that for, huh!" Everyone sweat dropped.

"Aw, crap, it was still loaded with petty bullets…"

Noriko rolled her eyes. "At this rate, we'll never get out of here! Yuki-san, you can tag along, but make yourself useful! Carry him for me, will ya?" She dumped Tohma on him (his feet are also bound so he can't walk) They set out for the stairs again, Noriko muttering something about impossible men, and how they ever managed to get to places at all, never mind in time.

"So, it's okay with you to go to the movies?"

"As long as I get a say in which movie we go see, yeah."

Tatsuha grinned. "Okay! Then the movies, it is!"

They'd finished the scenery a while ago, and they also knew all their lines. So, Suguru had decided he should take the opportunity to decide on where to go for their date. His worries about Tatsuha's definition of a 'nice place' had turned out to be true; the first suggestion had been a gay bar. But the movies were okay. He grinned. This was so exiting! He'd never been on a date with anyone before, but from what he heard from Shuichi and Hiro, they were a lot of fun.

He swatted Tatsuha's hands away as they slid under his shirt. He'd been true to his word; he let his boyfriend touch him and kissed with him (he enjoyed it), but he wouldn't let the guy get under his clothes. Much to Tatsuha's annoyance, but he didn't care.

He sighed happily. It was nice, sitting here with his beloved, simply doing nothing. Well, Suguru was doing nothing, but Tatsuha was doing all kinds of nice things. He felt like confessing his love right now. But that was such a cheesy thing to do! He wasn't some love sick girl!

He sighed again, only less happy.

"Su-kun?"

"Hmmm?"

"Something wrong?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Okay, if you say so…"

Suguru snuggled closer to his boyfriend, and felt the happy daze returning again.

Awwww, wasn't that ending the sweetest? (Squeels)
