I'm really sorry about the grammar mistakes, I'm really lazy and I just didn't really care. Gomen nasai! I know I shouldn't say that about my most favorite story but whatever. Also I read the last book of Gravitation and I didn't like it. I think it was because it was the LAST book . . . . . EVER! TEAR. And then I found the books for Gravitation Remixes but I can't read Japanese! No!
Shuichi walked to class feeling a lot better after the interaction with Eiri-san. K-sensei sensed the chance and wondered what happened during that short period of time.
"Shuichi, why are you so happy?" Asked Fujisaki.
"I'm not happy, I just feel a lot better." Shuichi said. Hiro smiled at the glowing aura of his best friend.
Class went by quickly, almost to quickly for Shuichi's liking. Shuichi tried to sneak out of the classroom but K-sensei had got a hold of him and Shuichi couldn't escape his grasp.
"Leaving Shuichi?"
"I was trying to but you stopped me." Shuichi laughed.
"See ya later Shuichi!" Hiro and Fujisaki said waving good-bye to their friend.
"Why do you always give me detention for no reason?" Shuichi whined, straightening his clothes as K-sensei let him go.
"Well since Eiri is staying after school too, maybe . . . just kidding, I enjoy having you around. Now come so we can get you to work." K-sensei said leaving out of the classroom. Shuichi made sure the blush was out of his cheeks before he followed K-sensei to wherever the hell he was going.
"K-sensei, will I have to clean again?"
"No, you'll do something a lot more interesting. Ah! Here we are." K-sensei said stopping at a door that was labeled, "Student Council."
"I don't know anything about counseling, so this will be pointless. So if you will excuse me."
"Stay here lover-boy." K-sensei said knocking on the door and barging in without waiting for an answer.
"Ayaka! I've got you some more help."
"Thank you! K-sensei, you are very kind to help me out like this."
"Think nothing of it." K-sensei said as he pushed Shuichi into the room and locked the door behind him.
"Shuichi I'm so glad you could join me!" Ayaka said.
"Sure." Shuichi said shifting his feet uncomfortably. "What are you doing?"
"Well, I'm organizing paper's for this fundraiser to help unfortunate kids. It's a lot of work and no one wants to help me." Ayaka was leaning over a desk and stamping papers.
"So, what can I help you with?"
"Licking the envelopes. I'm stamp and fold them, all you have to do is put them in and lick them closed."
"Alright." Shuichi sat down next to Ayaka and his jaw dropped at all the envelopes and papers. Shuichi's eye started twitching as he started working. They worked in silence for a while but Shuichi found this silence unbearable. He wanted to shout out to Ayaka. "Your fiancé belongs to me!" and throw a tantrum until Ayaka goes back home to Kyoto, but that wouldn't work and Shuichi couldn't say that. Shuichi's leg started to move up and down and he felt himself biting his lip. If he said those words and they weren't true he would be the laughing stock of the school and Ayaka wouldn't be his friend anymore.
"Shuichi, are you alright?" Ayaka asked. Don't say anything stupid, Shuichi told himself.
"So um, Ayaka, how long have you and Eiri been together?" Shuichi you idiot! Why did you bring up Eiri-san? To busy in his mind ramblings, Shuichi didn't notice that Ayaka was happy to talk about Eiri.
"Well, we've been together ever since I was three years old. I remember when I first met him; he looked so happy just standing there with his brother-in-law, Tohma. He wasn't like the Eiri everyone knows now. He was kind and caring, and when I cried he would help me out. God, I love him so much even if we don't know anything about each other."
"What are you talking about?" Shuichi tried to say but his tongue was stuck on an envelope so it sounded like gibberish.
"Well, I would only meet Eiri-san in the summer for about 2 weeks so growing up we really didn't have anything in common but he was still always nice to me until the summer when he turned 12, that's when he got to be like the Eiri everyone knows."
"What happened?"
"Only Tohma and Eiri know that. But I heard the name Yuki Kitazawa repeated over and over. One time I asked Eiri about it and he would talk to me for a whole year! So I decided that since I'm going to get married to this man, and he won't tell me the truth about what happened to him, then I'll just figure it out myself but sadly I haven't found anything out. The only thing I know is that I enjoy being with Eiri and well, I guess that is enough."
"Right." Shuichi said.
"But there are only two things I want from Eiri. His love and his smile, ever since he turned 12, I have never seen him smile a real smile. I just want to see him smile." Ayaka's hands started shaking and tears came to her eyes.
"Ayaka, it's okay." Shuichi said abandoning his work and going to Ayaka and holding her.
"What's going on?" Said a rich deep voice that sent shiver's down Shuichi's spine.
"Eiri-san!" Ayaka said pushing Shuichi away from her and going to him.
"K-sensei gave me these keys." Eiri said throwing them to Shuichi who caught them easily.
"What for?" Ayaka asked wrapping her arms around Eiri's waist.
"I don't know. K-sensei gets crazier with each passing year. I try not to think about him to much."
"It's kind of hard for me not to think about him, somehow, one way or other, he's around me." Shuichi laughed.
"Can we go somewhere to be alone?" Shuichi heard Ayaka whisper in Eiri's ear. "Shuichi, we'll see you in little while, keep working." Ayaka laughed as she grabbed Eiri's arm and pulled him out of the room without a second thought towards Shuichi.
Shuichi watched them go and felt his throat go dry. What were they going to do? Of course Shuichi knew what they were going to do, they were engaged after all. Still it hurt Shuichi that Eiri and Ayaka were . . . . together. Shuichi laid his head down on the desk and felt his world spinning.
"Shuichi! I've been looking for you!" Hiro said as he burst into the room and forced Shuichi's head off of the desk.
"How long have you been in here?" Fujisaki said taking an envelope, which was stuck to Shuichi's forehead.
"I don't know. Ayaka was supposed to have been back 20 minutes ago. She left with Eiri-san."
"Well forget about doing this and come with us." Fujisaki said.
"K-sensei is going to kill me if I do that." Shuichi said realizing that his tongue was no longer wet and it felt funny in his mouth.
"Don't worry about that crazy fool, we've got him taken care of. Just thank Nikka when we are finished." With the said people Nikka was currently showing K-sensei her mother's very extensive gun collection, from the back of her car.
"Are you sure?" Said Shuichi, already getting up.
"Positive, drink this." Hiro said throwing Shuichi a water bottle that he gulped down.
"What are we going to do?"
"We have to perform at Nikka's club in a couple of days and this time we will have our own song."
"Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack. Come on, let's go." Hiro said pulling Shuichi out of the door. Shuichi held back in the room still debating whether or not he should leave. Ayaka would be all alone working on those papers, but Ayaka shouldn't have walked off with Eiri.
"Yea, let's get the hell out of here." Shuichi said shutting the room down with a SLAM!
"Great! We had a talk with our Choir teacher and she said that we could use her studio to record our songs! She has a studio right in this school and no one has ever known about it. Nikka said she would join us later."
"Hey, you guys, I have some lyrics that I've already written. All we need is a beat to it and I think we'll have our first song." Shuichi said.
"We are going to make it big! I can imagine it now!" Fujisaki laughed.
"Of course man, we've got the best talent around, everyone realizing that." Hiro laughed as he slapped Shuichi on his back.
"Big dreams for idiots." Said a cold voice behind them. Shuichi quickly spun around to face his arch-nemesis.
"What do you want?" Hiro said coldly to them.
"Well Taki, seems like you have sense enough now to not travel alone when you are about to torment me." Shuichi laughed evilly. Taki was indeed surrounded by a lot of beautiful girls, and by Ken.
"Don't you dare call me by my first name, we are not friends and never will be, so you better watch your back Shindou! I'm tired of you thinking that you are better than what you really are! My band is way better than yours and it always will be! We have been in this game a lot longer than you have therefore we will succeed."
"Whatever man, even you recognize our talent if you feel threaten by it."
"Forget it, let's go." Ken said getting nervous by the dangerous glint in Shuichi and Taki's eyes.
"No, I'm going to prove to this little faggot who really has skills. We shall perform at this new club that has opened up called 'Music Nest'."
"Wait, why won't we do it at Nikka's club?" Shuichi asked.
"Ha! I'm not going to that bitch's club and then you guys win because she is so love with you three." Taki laughed. Fujisaki took a step forward but Hiro held them back.
"Don't talk about my friends Taki." Shuichi growled out.
"And don't act like we are friends! You have no right to call me by my first name!" Taki yelled.
"My mistake Aizawa." Shuichi growled out.
"How do we know if we win?" Hiro asked glaring daggers at Taki.
"If you are great, like our band, a talent agent will come over to talk to you. First one to get someone to come over to them willingly will win the bet."
"What if you lose?" Fujisaki said.
"Then you have to break up your stupid band and never ever play music again and you have to officially name us the best band around." Taki laughed again.
"You are not going to win. I promise my mother's honor on that." Shuichi said.
"Your mother's honor? I didn't know whores had honor." Taki laughed. Something snapped inside of Shuichi's head and he found himself seeing red. Calmly Shuichi walked up to Taki.
"Get away from me." Taki said taking a step back. Shuichi barely came up to Taki's nose but that didn't stop him from doing a quick punch to Taki's jaw line.
"I hate people like you. If you ever talk about my mother again, I'll break your fucking nose." Shuichi hissed out. Aizawa didn't say anything as he held his cheek about ready to cry.
"Don't worry, I didn't hit you that hard. Your face will be okay by the time we are ready to perform." Shuichi walked away and Fujisaki and Hiro followed him. When out of earshot Fujisaki punched the air.
"That was awesome! You should have seen his face when you punched him! I didn't know you had the skills."
"Neither did I." Hiro said quietly.
"Since we are going to be together for the rest of our singing careers I might as well make a confession." Shuichi said. Shuichi stopped and turned to his best friends. "Before I came to this hell hole I was in a even worse hell hole. Ever since I was young I was always beat up on because I was . . .am . . .. well, I never understood why I was beat up on but I decided that I had to fight back so that's what I did. When my father decided to change myself. But no matter where I go someone always want to fight me! I tried being the nice kid that everyone loves but it still doesn't help! I've done bad, bad things and I was trying to keep it from you guys because I thought you two would hate me but I understand now if you don't wanna be my friend. I'm not use to friends and I don't know how to treat them. . .. ." Shuichi was looking down at his feet because he didn't hear anything from Fujisaki or Hiro.
"Well Shuichi, duh!" Hiro said putting his hands in his pockets. Shuichi quickly looked up.
"What do you mean 'duh'? Do you know how long I've kept this inside?"
"We could probably guess, but Shuichi we've been around you for a while now." Hiro said.
"And we are the smartest kids in this whole school. Do you think we would not notice the way you acted when you got mad? I mean you were practically ready to kill anybody."
"So I guess I should not have kept it a secret." Shuichi said sheepishly.
"Damn skimpy and to make up of lying to us you have to humiliate Aizawa and his band. I have no doubt in my mind we won't win but I want to dominate over ASK! I want them to be embarrassed every time they even think about singing. My dream is to become better than my cousin and if you make me fail at this dream I'll kick your ass."
"Yes Fujisaki has a dream of beating Tohma Seguchi and my dream is to prove to my parents that this is better than being a doctor. This is the test of your real skills and you have to prove to the world that you are worthy." Hiro said.
"That's why you fight, isn't it? Consider fighting as singing, if you lose your pride will be lost to." Fujisaki stopped talking as he noticed Shuichi's shoulders shaking.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just so happy, I didn't think having friends could be this fun!" Shuichi wiped his eyes and hiccued.
"My God Shuichi, you don't have to act like such a baby. You just fulfill our promises and we'll have your back, simple as that." Hiro shrugged. "Now let's go!"
"Where's Shuichi?" Ayaka asked looking around the small room for the pink haired boy. It had been more than a hour since she had left him and she had expected him to be there since he was so nice and could never leave a friend in need, plus he had detention and who in their right mind wanted to mess with K-sensei?
"I don't know." Eiri said bored.
"But he should have stayed here and worked on the papers?"
"Kind of like what you did?" Eiri yawned. Eiri couldn't believe how he managed to spend a whole hour with her. What the hell was he thinking? Oh yea, he wanted to make Shuichi jealous, apparently he got so jealous, he left.
"Eiri! You have to help me find him! He's probably off with those worthless friends of his."
"That's what you think of the smartest people in school?" Eiri said lazily, leaning against the door frame and folding his beautiful long limbs.
"Of course! I think every girl is jealous of them because they are so beautiful they could look like girls."
"Shuichi could pass for a girl too. Don't you think?" Eiri suddenly had a very vivid image of Shuichi in a schoolgirl's uniform. Eiri licked his lips slowly.
"Yes he could." Eiri said absentmindedly still thinking about the outfit.
"And that girl Nikka hangs out with them. She owns that horrible club! Shuichi is to innocent and pure to be hanging out with them and I refuse to let that happen so it's up to me to protect him."
"Ayaka, I didn't know you had this side to you." Eiri said. "Are you jealous of the poor boy or something?"
"No, it's just that well, he seems to innocent for his own good. Fujisaki and Hiroshi will corrupt him, I know it." Ayaka grabbed Eiri's hand and pulled him along. Going out of the room Ayaka said Nikka hurrying by.
"Hey! Wait you!" Ayaka called. Nikka stopped and turned around with her hand on hip.
"My name is Nikka." Nikka said coolly.
"Whatever, where's Shuichi?" Ayaka asked going to stop two feet in front of Nikka.
"I don't know." Nikka lied as she flipped her hair behind her shoulders. Nikka looked passed Ayaka to Eiri. Nikka bowed slightly to Eiri. "Nice to see you again."
"The pleasure is all mine." Eiri said bowing back.
"What is going on?" Ayaka asked glaring at Nikka.
"Nothing. I'm leaving because I'm wasting my time talking to you." Nikka started to leave but Ayaka stopped her again.
"Where is Shuichi? I know you know where he is!"
"Why does it matter?"
"Shuichi needs a good influence around him, not people like you or Hiro, who defies his own family."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Nikka laughed. "Hiro doesn't defy his family! You are really loony girl and you need some serious help." As an afterthought Nikka added, "I hope to see you again Eiri-san." Just to piss Ayaka off. Nikka took off into a run so Ayaka wouldn't have time to stop her.
"Eiri!" Ayaka turned to her fiancé, tears in her eyes. "Are you cheating on me, with that slut?"
"Ayaka, please stop embarrassing yourself, it's getting on my nerves." Eiri said pushing the young girl away from him. "If you care about Shuichi so fucking much, then go and follow Nikka."
"You are right!" Ayaka said as she grabbed Eiri's hand and pulled him along with her. Nikka was having a strange feeling that someone was following her. She kept looking around her but she didn't spot anyone. Nikka hit herself in the forehead to try to knock the craziest out of her. Nikka came to the choir room and opened the door, letting it slam behind her.
Ayaka opened the door, and with Eiri following her, they sneaked to the back of the classroom to hide, crouching against the chairs that students sit in during classes. Eiri was feeling pissed off that he had to hurt his pride to hide but Ayaka had a death grip on him and wouldn't let go.
"What's up Bad Luck? Are you guys practicing?" Nikka said. Ayaka stopped breathing so she could hear every word that was said.
"Yes we are. We just got finished in the studio. We've got our first song together, we'll let you hear a sample but you can't hear all of it until we perform." Shuichi laughed.
"Oh and sorry Nikka but we can't perform at your club next week because we made a bet with this band called ASK and we have to go there." Fujisaki said moving his hands over his keyboard like he was playing it.
"Don't worry about it, I'll just come watch and cheer you guys on. Speaking of my club I just saw Shuichi's friends."
"Who?" Asked Hiro, setting the tones on his guitar.
"That bitch Ayaka and that sex god Eiri. Ayaka was looking for you but I didn't want her to come here so I said I didn't know where you were."
"Why do you call her names?" Asked Fujisaki.
"Because she is crazy! I'm a girl, so I see a whole other side to her and I know that she is very controlling and she doesn't want Shuichi hanging around us. Eiri said didn't say anything, do you think he would come to see you guys perform again?" Asked Nikka.
"I don't know." Shuichi said looking at his feet, blushing.
"Shuichi you should tell him! Of course he might drag that Dog along but I guess I can deal with her as long Eiri keeps her in check."
"Can we please stop talking about Ayaka, she is my friend you know." Shuichi said.
"Whatever, so am I going to hear your song or what?"
"Well I don't have the lyrics together all the way so I'll just hum it, okay?"
"Fine with me." Nikka said taking seat and crossing her legs. Shuichi started to sing, Fujisaki and Hiro started to play. After about 45 seconds they stopped playing and looked at Nikka to see how they did.
"Wow!" She said standing and clapping.
"Thanks Nikka." Fujisaki laughed. Ayaka felt her face burn at Shuichi's amazing voice. This guy had such talent!
"Can we leave now?" Eiri said his eyes glazed over at Shuichi's voice. Eiri found that he loved it when Shuichi singed and he found himself not being able to control his emotions, he had to get away from his, fast.
"Sure." Ayaka said standing up but in the process she knocked a chair over and was noticed by Bad Luck and Nikka.
"What are you doing here?" Nikka yelled.
"It's none of your business! Come on Eiri." Ayaka said with her head held high. Eiri stood up slowly and brushed his clothes off.
"I feel like a kid! I've had enough of this and I need a break. People wonder why I'm such a heavy smoker, then they met the people I hang around and they instantly find out."
"Eiri! Stop saying such things!" Ayaka screamed.
"Ayaka, watch your tone. I'm not one of your little friends that you can just boss around." Eiri hissed at his fiancé.
"How can you be so cruel?" Ayaka's eyes filled up as she ran out of the room with her face in her hands.
"What the hell was that about, you weren't even being mean." Nikka said. Eiri lighted up a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"She wants me to run after her, but I'm not her emotional coaster so she can just jerk me around. I'll see you kids later, good luck on performing." Eiri said with a flick of his wrist and he went out of the room, but he was smart enough to go the opposite way that Ayaka.
"That was weird." Hiro said.
"Sure was." Nikka agreed.
"Well, let's get back practicing." Fujisaki said. Shuichi found that he couldn't speak. Eiri and Ayaka were hiding in the chorus room. Maybe that was where they were secretly snogging (A/N: I've just read a loooong, Harry/Draco fic and I had to add that word or it would of killed me wink) Shuichi thought that maybe Eiri didn't love her but now that they were caught in the act, he probably really did.
"Shuichi, is something the matter?" Asked Hiro studying his face closely.
"No." Shuichi said forcibly. "Let's practice."
After about 15 minutes the gang decided to quit because they couldn't get a decent sound to come out of Shuichi. Hiro and Fujisaki left in a heat puff, Nikka left with them but she had a knowing smile on her face. Shuichi sighed softly and left 5 minutes later only to find, to his surprise, Eiri waiting for him.
"Yuki! I thought you left?"
"No, I was actually looking for K-san, but when I found him he was polishing a new gun he had got. So I left him alone and decided to wait on you."
"Where's Ayaka?" Shuichi asked softly.
"She's gone, I didn't go looking for her after she left. Why do you always ask about her when we are alone? What are you feeling guilty for and we haven't even done anything?"
"I don't know. The thoughts that are going through my head, I guess." Shuichi blushed as he said those words but he was determined to get them out. He wanted Yuki to understand his feelings.
"Want to take a drive with me?" Eiri said holding out his hand. Shuichi looked at it and took it in his hand.
"Sure." Shuichi blushed as Eiri lead him to his car. Shuichi got into the passenger side and Eiri got into the driver's seat and took off speeding.
"Yuki, since we have a moment alone, I was wondering if you and Ayaka would like to come to my performance."
"Okay." Eiri said stepping harder on the gas.
"Don't you want to know any details?"
"Tell me."
"It's going to be at the 'Music Nest' and it starts at around 7:30."
"Alright, alright." Eiri said as he let up on the gas and started to push the brake.
"Look where we are." Eiri said before Shuichi could start talking again.
"Wow! The beach! It's very nice!" Shuichi marveled, as the sun was setting over it just right. "Such beauty!"
"I know." Eiri said but he wasn't looking at the setting sun. "I come here to think when I need to calm down or when life is just getting a little to hard for me." Shuichi felt himself getting redder and redder at the intense way Eiri was looking into his eyes.
"What do you want Yuki?"
"You." Eiri said as he grabbed Shuichi's chin and kissed him nice and slow. Shuichi felt utter bliss over his first kiss, but that bliss turned into something else when he felt Eiri starting to unbuckle his pants.
"No Yuki." Shuichi said as he stopped him. Eiri looked at Shuichi with wide-eyed surprise. Shuichi had tears in the corner of his eyes.
"But, I thought that this is what you wanted? Isn't that why you've been trying to be friends with me?"
"No Eiri." Eiri flinched at the use of his name. "I wanted to be friends with you because of I like you, not because of what you can do for me." Shuichi's tears fell slowly down his cheeks as he got out of the car and ran off.
Eiri's mouth was completely opened. What the hell just happened? Shuichi had more emotions than Ayaka, and that was saying something! Eiri put his palm against his forehead and slowly started to hit himself.
That was the latest chapter. Are any of you confused as to why Shuichi was so upset? I'll tell you. Shuichi wants to be Eiri's friend! Not lover and Shuichi was very upset by the fact that Eiri was thinking that. Don't worry, Eiri was figure it out that Shuichi wants to be friends first, and then get down to the dirty shagging! I'll update quickly. Scout's honor (but I'm not a scout snickers) School is starting back in 2 weeks and it seems like I'll only write when I know I have school work to finish. Sad, eh? So please review and I'll love you forever!
