Disclaimer- I don't own Gravitation crying softly Nooooo!
Shiuchi packed up this things slowly. He was leaving the next day. He know how a healing black eye and a healing one, also a cut lip. He had to say good bye to old friends, right? He had said good-bye to all of them in a way they would never forget. Shuichi smiled as he thought of how he beat them up. This time his mother didn't cry, she just smiled sadly, like she knew this was going to happen. Hell, she probably did know that it was going to happen. Shuichi decided not to pondered on the subject.
"You are leaving in just a few hours." Maiko said sadly. Shuichi had his headphones on but put them around his neck sensing his little sister wanted to talk.
"Yea, I know. I already withdrew from school. This is actually happening." Shuichi said.
"I still can't believe it. We won't be together like we use to. I'm not use to that but I guess I'll have to. You'll come visit us, right Shu-chan?"
"Of course, you are making it sound like I'm leaving you forever. I would never do that! Father can't keep me away from mother and you. Mother is right, this is the perfect time to be the perfect son. No more fights or trouble making for me."
"Ha!" Maiko laughed. "You can't do that! That's impossible for you."
"What do you mean? You rat." Shuichi said.
"No, you can be the perfect son but first you have to understand that fighting is in your blood! You think it came out of nowhere, your desire to fight, but feelings that strong should be heredity!"
"I can stop fighting! Why would anyone want to fight me at my new school any way and they don't even know me! I swear Maiko, where does your intellect go when you get home." Shuichi poked his sister playfully in the head. Maiko grabbed his fingers.
"Baka! Let's make a bet! I bet you can't last one day without getting into a fight at with someone. It doesn't even have to be someone you know!"
"Shut up Maiko! You have no faith in your older brother."
"Shuichi, you don't even have faith in yourself!"
"Yes I do! I have faith to become a singer as big a Ryuichi Sakuma. I already look like him, and I have the talent to back it up. I'm going to have a band like Nittle Grasper!"
"The only problem is you don't have any friends. Everyone was either scared of you or wanted to fight you." Maiko said coolly.
"I don't think I'm going to miss that smart mouth of yours." Shuichi smiled bitterly.
"Of course you will. It's the only thing that gets you through the day! While you are in Tokyo, see if you can find Eiri Yuki . That's where I heard he lives, if he does try and get a autograph."
"Ha! I'm not going to go searching for a autograph for a little child." Shuichi said dismissing his sister with a flick of his wrist.
"What did you say? You spaz!" Maiko said running to her brother and tackling him from behind. Shuichi laughed as he tried to pry his sister's arms from around his chest.
"Maiko, let go you brat!"
"Oh Shu-chan." She said lovingly. Shuichi rolled his eyes.
"You better not cry. I can't handle crying."
"You should be use to mother always crying." Maiko said through her tears. "I'm going to miss you Shuichi, don't get your into a lot of trouble. If I win the bet I want that autograph. I don't care if it takes you years, I want you to find Eiri Yuki and give me his autograph."
"I'll try my best Maiko. Now let me go so I can finish packing."
"I'll help." Maiko smiled as she let go of her brother and helped him packed away his clothes and all his favorite things.
"Maiko, Shuichi, your father is here. He's in a bit of a rush, so please. . ." Their mother didn't finish her sentence. She had gotten dressed pretty for Shindou-san to notice but he didn't say anything. He was to busy yapping away on his cell phone, yelling at some fools who don't know how to manage a business. Maiko winced as she heard his loud, deep voice booming against the walls.
Shuichi was frowning and he knew it. His mother was distraught because her father had once again ignored her. Shuichi slammed his suitcase shut and grabbed his other two, plus a duffel bag filled with CD's and DVD's.
"Help please." Shuichi said as he felt himself starting to fall over. Maiko and mother quickly went to take a bag out of Shuichi's hand so that all he had was smaller suitcase and the duffel bag which he threw over his shoulder.
"Let's go." Shuichi said leading the way downstairs. Shindou-san was getting huffy over the phone. He was only gone for a week. A week! And the idiots had already did something stupid! He was going to fire every last person there if they didn't fix their mistake quick.
"Shuichi!" Shidou-san hung up his cell phone and turned to face his son.
"Father, I see you are in a bit of a hurry. We'll leave now if that is okay?"
"Yes, I was just about to suggest that." Shindou-san quickly went over to his daughter and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He hugged his ex-wife and smiled at them both.
"We'll call later. You girls be safe, and if any problems show up don't be hesitant in calling me. I'll come back as soon as I can."
"Just take care of my son. If he is unhappy I want you to bring him back to me as soon as possible."
"He's my son too. I think I know when he is unhappy. I'll be able to take care of him." Shindou-san said, almost threatening.
"Don't you dare try to intimate me." She hissed back at him.
"Come on Son, I'm going to be late. We've got a couple of hours to go on the plane ride." Shindou-san ignored his ex-wife and went out the door.
"That's why I divorced him so quick!" She laughed bitterly to herself.
"Shu-chan, this suitcase is getting heavy. Let's hurry about to the car."
"Okay." They walked out to the car, which turned out to be a limo, lost in their own thoughts. Shuichi put his luggage in the back and stared at his family. The two people who he trusted more in the world, he never lived with anyone else before so this will prove to be something different.
"See ya later mother." Shuichi kissed and hugged his mother than did the same thing to Maiko.
"Bye Shuichi." They said together. The held each other as they watch Shuichi drive off. Shuichi watched them out of the car until he couldn't see them anymore. He thought he felt his heart break but than again it could just been indigestion.
The ride to Tokyo was long and boring. Shuichi started to listen to his Nittle Grasper CD's but that still didn't drown out his father's constant talking. Shuichi sighed and looked out the window, which kind of didn't help because there was nothing to see but clouds. Finally Shuichi's father hung up the phone and sighed, rubbing his temples.
"I employ complete idiots." Shuichi didn't say anything, thankful for the silence.
"So son, are you excited about going to a new school. You are going to like it a lot. It's a private high school.. I went there when I was younger, so I know you are sure to get in." Shuichi jumped at the words 'private high school'. The private high school kids hated Shuichi more than the public ones. Shuichi's violet eyes went back to their normal size, he had forgotten just that quick, he wouldn't have to worry about the fighting because no one knew him there. To them he was just another kid going to school. It finally dawned on him. He really wasn't going to be fighting away one.
"Shuichi, you look like you just seen a ghost."
"No, I just noticed it was going to be a long year."
"You'll do fine at your new school. Things can't go to bad." Shindou-san how do idea how wrong he was. Shuichi sighed and closed his eyes getting lost into his music.
When they got on the ground Shuichi was glad because he was starting to get cramped. He stretched his muscles and hummed a little tune to himself. His father was once again on his cell phone yelling at someone once again. Shuichi felt sorry for the person he was talking to.
"Dad, the taxi is here!" Shuichi said. His father stopped yelling with the person to nod at Shuichi. Shuichi rolled his eyes. He needed someone to help him with his bags. Shuichi started to reach for his bags but someone already beat him to it.
"Who are you?" Shuichi said.
"I was told by your father to help you with your bags. My taxi is over there." The man pointed with his head since both his hands were full with suitcases.
"Cool." This got Shuichi thinking, doesn't his father ever do anything for himself? Shuichi followed the guy and put his bags into the back. Shuichi's father was in the car talking with someone on the cell phone. Shuichi buried his head in his hands. This was going to be a long drive.
Shuichi had listened to his portable CD player so much that he had wore the batteries out now he had no choice but to listen to his father, who had calmed down somewhat. The cab driver pulled into an unexpected stop.
"Here's you stop."
"An apartment building?"
"Yea, we are in Tokyo. Not like the country, where you grew up."
"I know. I guess I'm to use to living in a house." Shuichi said. Shuichi and the cab driver carried the luggage up stairs and into Shuichi's new bedroom. The apartment was very nice. It was big for a Tokyo apartment. Shuichi noticed that this bedroom was bigger than his old bedroom. Shuichi gave the cab driver a few extra yen and then started to set up his stuff. He heard his father stomping around in the kitchen. Shuichi hummed to himself and finally he started singing out loud, but not to loud to alert his father. Shuichi was determined to make things different. No more fights! His brain said over and over.
"Shuichi, there's nothing to eat at my house, how about you do your old man a favor and get something to eat for us. It'll give you a chance to site see. I want some African fried shrimp, there's a shop that sells down town." Shuichi frowned, his father was trying to get him out of the house and he hadn't even been in the house for 2 minutes.
"Sure dad." Shuichi said sighing. He took one of his father's credit cards and left without another word. This was a good thing because now Shuichi could buy the batteries he wanted.
"Good, he's gone." Shindou-san said. He wanted to surprise his son with a newly made over room but the idiots he hired didn't get it right so now he would quickly get someone over here to fix up the bedroom and have a nice surprise of Shuichi when he came back. Shuichi would be gone for at least 2 hours, considering he had no clue where anything was. Plus he wasn't even sure there was a dish called African fired shrimp. After Shuichi spent some time looking for it he would just get regular shrimp and come home to find his surprise. Shindou-san smiled at his ingenious.
"I have no clue where I'm going." Shuichi said sighing to himself. He decided to get the batteries first so he could listen to his CD player, which was with him at all times, and walk aimlessly around looking for a shop he know he can't find. He'll just get regular shrimp and hopes his dad likes that. Shuichi was humming to himself but he stopped and his whole body went stiff. His fighting tense's were tingling. A fight was going on. Shuichi forgot about shrimp and batteries and started to look around for the fight. He found it! It was in a dark alley and five guys were ganged up on one little boy. Shuichi ran over to them ready to start a fight, already knowing he would have to find Eiri Yuki and get a autograph for Maiko.
I'll end it now. It was kind of a filler chapter, but the next chapter will be great! Please review, I'll feel so much better if you did. I think I'm going to have it where I'm going to update every day. That'll be fun! Bye!
