Another chapter. Exams are coming up and my brain has decided to runaway. If you find it please tell me. Sorry about the long wait. So I'll make this one long for you guys. K?

Disclaimer-not mine.

Eiri was lighting up a cigarette as Ayaka came into his room and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"You shouldn't smoke honey. It's bad for you."

"A lot of things are bad for me but I still do them." Eiri replied bitterly.

"But I won't have second hand smoke going around with our future children. Speaking of kids, it's going to be so great when you father finds out about news with Tohma and Mika. He's going to be so surprise."

"Maybe he will be so surprise he'll have a heart attack."

"Eiri! You are so funny." Ayaka laughed. Eiri moved from around her arms.

"What time is this party thing?"

"Two more hours. There are going to be so many people and I've got this new dress that is just to die for."

"Great." Eiri said finishing off the cigarette. He had smoked it rather quickly. Ayaka always made his patience and nerves run thin so smoking helped, a lot.

Meanwhile with a certain pink haired beauty, Shuichi was endearing his father's constant insults.

"Now son, I know that you were raised by your mother. I know she didn't have a lot and I know she didn't go to a lot of formal social events. She did the best she could, but your manners still need help." Shuichi and Shindou were in their dining room which was decorated very fancy. They were sitting at the table and Shuichi was being forced table manners with rich and prominent people. He had learned more useless things than he would have liked.

"Father, really, I think I have to this handle."

"Sit up straighter!" Shindou barked out. Shuichi gripped his fork tighter and wondered what it would look like through his father's eyes.

"Sorry father. I'm not use to eating like this. Mother and Maiko were very neat so as long as I didn't make a mess then everything was okay."

"That accent! It's horrible!" Shindou roared causing Shuichi to jump.

"What accent?"

"That–ugly– country sounding accent. People will think I didn't teach you while you were growing up!"

"But you didn't!" Shuichi protested. "Plus I don't have a accent, you are just imagining things, but I'll keep my mouth shut so you won't have to worry about it. Okay father?"

"Yes." Shindou sighed. "By the way, you are a great soccer player and you have the highest math scores in your class."

"No I don't. What the hell are you talking about?" Shuichi asked throughly puzzled.

"Watch that mouth! I told my friends that you were a great soccer player and that your math scores were out of this world." Shindou said rubbing his forehead in a tired way. He should of taken care of Shuichi when he was much younger. It was so much harder to raise someone who was so hard headed.

"Father, I've decided that I want to be something different from you."

"What kind of different?"

"Well my friends and I have a band and I'm lead singer and. . ." Shuichi stopped when he saw the look on his father's face.

"Singer? You SING? You have been around girls for to long boy. No son of mine is ever going to sing! You are going to take over the business and make your wife and children very happy."

"Yes, kind of like what you did with your family." Shuichi said sourly. Shuichi saw it coming but he did nothing to stop it. SMACK His father slapped him hard in the face.

"Don't you ever talk like that to me." Shindou growled. Shuichi tried not smirk at the cold bastard. He actually thought Shuichi was hurt. Shuichi held his cheek and whispered, "Yes father." Shindou didn't catch the sarcasm.

"Good boy. Let's go." Shuichi followed his father strangely calm. He always felt this calm right before his was about to fight. This time Shuichi did let his smirk come through. This night might not be so boring.

"Eiri, look how many people are here!" Ayaka said happily wrapping her arms around Eiri's arm.

"Great." Eiri said sighing. Ayaka had been in his ear all night.

"Look there are the Shindou's!" Ayaka said.

"Why don't you go talk to them and I'll go get us some more drinks."

"Cool." Ayaka said as she gave Eiri a little kiss on the cheek. Ayaka skipped along and stopped when she saw the Shindou's.

"Good evening, I'm so happy you could join us." Ayaka said bowing.

"We are glad to be here." Shuichi said also bowing. "This is a very nice house that you have."

"It's not mine. . .yet, it will be when I marry Eiri. We might even have the wedding here, I mean, it's a beautiful place." Ayaka went on and on. Shuichi's eye started to twitch and he noticed that his father had already slipped off. Perfect.

"Ayaka, will you excuse me?" Shuichi said.

"Well I have to see about Eiri. He hates to be without me to long, so maybe I'll see you later. Bye." Ayaka went off. Shuichi sighed and walked over to the front door. If he could slip outside, he would blow this party off. Shuichi was almost to the door when he felt hands grab firmly around his upper arm.

"Going somewhere?"

"Actually. . ." Shuichi started to say but then thought better of it. "No I wasn't going any where."

"Good, the ceremony is about to start and I'll be damn if I'm sitting alone." Shindou said in Shuichi's ear pulling him along the tables. Just as the words came out of Shindou's mouth, Tohma got up in front of everyone and smiled.

"I'm so glad you could all come." Tohma Seguchi said. Shuichi studied Tohma closely. He was a feminine looking man but something about him made him scary. Shuichi noticed that Tohma looked very familiar, even his name reminded him of something. . .but he was just to lazy to think. He looked out the corner of his eye at his father who was flirting with some lady. Shuichi edged out of his seat and tiptoed away from the group. He looked at the front door but decided against it because people will notice if he opened it. Shuichi looked around not ready to admit defeat. He went up the steps quickly and quietly. Shuichi went all the way on the third floor. It looked like no one had been up there in a while. There was only one door on this floor and Shuichi went to it and turned the door knob only to find out that the door was locked.

"No problem." Shuichi said pulling out his Swiss knife and pulling out the lock pick he had installed himself. It took him a whole day to put the tiny lock pick on his Swiss knife but eventually he got it on and the knife had come in handy. Shuichi loved that knife and took it with him when he thought he might get into a little excitement.

Shuichi got into the room without any problems. He turned on the light, shut the door and locked it. It was a beautiful detailed room with a large king size bed right in the middle. Whose bedroom was on this top floor away from everyone? Shuichi wondered. It didn't matter because the room was old and covered with dust. Shuichi went over to the window and lifted it up. He looked down and frowned when he realized it was to far to jump down without risk getting hurt. Shuichi looked over and to his relief there was a huge tree perfect for him to climb down safely to the ground and run away. All he wanted was a fight. Just a simple little on to make him feel 'normal' again. Of course Shuichi's views of normal were quite different. Shuichi took off his jacket and unbutton the first two buttons of his shirt and he loosen his tie.

"I can do this." Shuichi leaned half way across the window and reached as far as he could for the branch that was closest to him. When Shuichi was half over and half way still on the house he heard the door being opened. He locked it! He was sure of that. Shuichi couldn't go forward and he couldn't move backward or else he'd fall. Shuichi quickly tried to think of a lie.

"What are you doing?"

"I can explain. There was a bird in the tree and I saw that it was hurt so I was trying to get the birdie and wouldn't you know it, when I got near the damn thing it flew away?" Shuichi laughed uneasily as all of him came back into the room. He turned slowly and saw the person who had captured him.

"Eiri, aren't you supposed to be sponsoring a party?" Shuichi asked.

"You are a bad liar, I know for sure this room was locked. You surly couldn't have heard the bird through the door and just had to help it."

"Sure I could!" Shuichi protested. "Well now that the birdie is gone I'll be hitting the streets too." Shuichi started to ease by Eiri but the look he gave Shuichi made him stop.

"What were you doing? The truth."

"I was. . ." Think Shuichi! Think! Shuichi fell to his knees and buried his head in his hands and started crying. "I just wanted to save the bird."

"Stop it." Eiri said. "I hate it when people cry and whine to get their way. You were trying to run away weren't you? Running away won't help."

"You don't understand! I haven't been in a fight in forever and my nerves are shot to hell!" Shuichi looked at his hands which were twitching slightly.

"Then why don't you just tell your father that you have to fight? Isn't it a part of you?" Eiri asked coming closer to Shuichi.

"Because I don't want HIM to give me the same sad looks my mother use to give me. She knew I couldn't help but fight because people always use to pick on me. I don't know why, maybe because of the way I acted, and no matter how many times we moved I was always bullied. When I was like 6 or 7 I would come home in bruises and my mother would stare at me so sadly and come and hug me. We both would cry in each other arms. I don't want to have to do that with my dad! I admit I start most of the fights but now I have a choice not to be that way. I want to be normal." Real tears came down Shuichi eyes and he wiped them away.

"I'm sorry you feel that way, but he is your father and he needs to know the truth about his son. How long do you think it will be before he figures out about the real you? It didn't take me very long to figure it out."

"Shut up! I don't know why I care what that bastard thinks, but I can't help it. He is my father and I want him to approve of me." Shuichi pounded the floor in anger and shame. "Why must he be so dumb? Shouldn't he have noticed sooner how much I was suffering? What kind of father is he?"

"As interesting as this sounds, Ayaka is waiting for me and I have to get back."

"So I can leave?"

"No." Eiri said point blank.

"But why? I just told you a very sad story! You should of at least felt some kind of sympathy for me! Have you no heart!" Shuichi yelled.

"At least you live with your father. Your father at least likes you. Look at my hair, look at my eyes, do I look Japanese to you? My father doesn't really give a damn about me so I guess he's hoping that the child I make with Ayaka will make up for me. Tohma and Mika took that duty away from me. I'm not marrying Ayaka and he can't make me. He has his heir and it's not going to come from me. Next time I tell you to do something, you do it without any questions. I hate repeating myself." Eiri went swiftly over to Shuichi and pulled him up by his arm dragging him out of the room.

"Wait, how about this? We both leave! I've got a plan!"

"You couldn't even get out of here, how the hell am I going to leave? Akaya's like my third arm."

"Don't worry about it. Just let me go and when people are distracted I want you to haul ass, okay?"

"If you get caught, I wasn't part of it. I don't know what people would say if I was running around with an idiot like you."

"Right of course." Shuichi said already pushing Eiri out the room and down the stairs. While Eiri was going down the steps he thought about Shuichi's devilish grin and the crazed look in his violet eyes. What the hell was that boy going to do?

"What am I supposed to do?" Shuichi said. It was wrong of him to lie to Eiri but he was getting out of that damn party even if he had to beat Eiri up for it. Shuichi saw a big fat rock and nice cars all around him. The perfect plan had just came to him. He got the rock and threw it at the nearest car. The alarms went off but Shuichi found that he couldn't stop. He picked up another rock and threw it at a different car, pretty soon every car had at least one hole in it. People were starting to come outside and Shuichi ran off until he saw trees. It seemed the Uesugi's owned their own little forest. Shuichi climbed up a tree, so he could see higher. Shuichi saw from a distance Eiri running across the yard. Shuichi waved his hands to get Eiri's attention and he then climbed down the tree.

"You went a little overboard didn't you?" He asked. He ran a long way but he didn't seem out of breath. Shuichi and Eiri started walking side by side through the woods.

"I don't think so." Shuichi said looking innocent. Eiri gave him a look and Shuichi laughed. "Okay, I did go a little crazy, but they are rich, they can handle it." In the distance they both heard sirens.

"The look on Ayaka's face was priceless. She had just gotten her car too. I'm glad I came in her car instead of mine." Eiri said.

"Let's go somewhere fun, like a club or something. Let's get ice cream first, Yuki, then we can get some burgers or something. I'm not really hungary, then maybe we can find some people to kick around. Turn in a few people in jail, things like that." Shuichi would of went on but Eiri was staring at him funny. "What's the matter? Did I do something wrong?"

"You called me Yuki."

"Is that okay? I kind of like that name better, but if you don't like it I won't call you by that name."

"No one has ever called me that name before. You can call me Yuki but be sure not to do it in public, no one knows I'm Eiri Yuki but you and K-san."

"How do you know him so well?"

"Well my brother in law is Tohma Seguchi and K-san protects Ryuichi Sakuma and. . why are you so pale?" Eiri asked as he frown at Shuichi's ashen state.

"S-s-so I was in the r-r-room with Tohma Seguchi? Of Nittle Grasper and president of N-G productions! And you know Ryuichi Sakuma?"

"Hai." Eiri said like it was no big deal but Shuichi was about to die of a heart attack. He leaned against a tree and closed his eyes breathing hard to still his pumping heart.

"I can't believe I didn't notice who he was! I really must of been out of it. Nittle Grasper is my life! I love them and when I get a chance to met them I screw up."

"Don't sweat it. I'll introduce him later to you."

"You don't just introduce Tohma Seguchi!" Shuichi screamed.

"Listen kid, let's stop talking about my family. Tohma ain't what he crack up to be, just put it like that. Let's catch a cab or something."

"What a minute, something is ringing in my pocket." Shuichi said reaching into his slacks and producing a cell phone that his father had gotten to keep track of him.

"Yes?" Shuichi said already knowing who it would be.

"Where the fuck are you! How dare you embarrass me? What kind of son are you?" Came a loud screaming in Shuichi's ear.

"I'm sorry, something came up. I'll just see you later." Shuichi hung up the phone and turned it off. He would get a earful later but it was worth it to be with the beauty next to him. Shuichi blushed at that thought and sneaked a peak at Eiri who was lighting up a cigarette.

"Quit staring brat, don't you know that's rude?"

"Yes, I know it is." Shuichi said still staring.

"You are annoying me." Eiri growled.

"That's okay Yuki, I like to annoy you. It's what you get for catching me being a bad person."

"A bad person?" Yuki asked confused.

"Well, you caught me fighting and now you've caught me sneaking out a window."

"So staring at me will make up for it?"

"Yes, plus it's not that bad since you are not hard on the eyes." Shuichi laughed. Shuichi grabbed Eiri's hand and pulled him into a run.

"Let's go! We've got a lot to do tonight!" Shuichi said to him.

"Where the hell is that brother of mine?" Mika Seguchi yelled. Everyone had been sent home and now only the family remained.

"I know that boy is trouble but can't he at least feign happiness for his sister?" Uesugi-sama said.

"Father, please, don't upset yourself." Mika said going to her father ready to help his every whim.

"Oh you are such a good daughter, much better than these sons I have." Uesugi-sama patted his daugther's hand lovingly.

"I showed up, didn't I? Doesn't that count for something?" Tatshua mumbled. He had just gotten to the house after the breaking of car windows and he had seen something very interesting.

"I'm glad no one decided to call the cops." Tohma said. "That would of been trouble, when I find out who broke those windows I'll personally deal with them." Tohma said growling.

"I'm leaving, I've served my time." Tatshua said. Maybe if he was quick enough he'd catch Eiri. It'd be fun taunting his older brother. Tatshua left with a quick good-bye to his family and speeded off in his car. Tatshua decided to go to Eiri's apartment, that would be a nice surprise.

Well, is that good? Please review. I'm so sleepy, it's about 4am in the morning and I have to go to church at 10, so whatever. This might be the last chapter until school is out but if I can I'll post another chapter although it might be short.
