"Kosetsu: Snowfall" Chapter 10 –Mika's Evil Plot and a Meeting in the Alley-

by imanut

I'm sorry that it's been so long since my last posting. But, as promised, I made this chapter longer! Please forgive me for taking so long! And thanks to those who reviewed:

Lina the Outlawed Bomber- Thank you! Keep it up I shall!

zafiro a carrillo- I'm sorry that it took so long for me to update. I try not to take so long because I don't like it when other authors/authoresses do that to me either. So please continue reading! (and thanks for your review!)

Kaibafangirl77- I feel bad for Yuki too! Why don't we try to make him feel better? I feel guilty for making him so sad!

Falcon Zanbandia of Nightmares- Yuki looks hot in "evil mode" don't you think? Here…have a tootsie roll if you're still hungry!

clueless97- I'm soo glad that you liked Tohma's journal the best! I had such a hard time writing that one, so it makes me very pleased to hear that you enjoy it. As for Tohma's happy dance, I just thought that a little comic relief would be nice there. I'm sorry that it took so long…thank you soo much!

Ivan Artemis Draconis- Thank you! This chapter will be longer I promise. Don't worry, I'm getting to that. It may take a while, but I will though in some Tohma/Shu action soon...though I don't know when!

Kitsune Thief- YAY! Thank you Kumagorou! And thank you, Kitsune Thief! Sorry that it took so long for me to update!

LinZ Umbra- Thank you! It makes me happy to hear that my story is your Tohma/Shuichi pairing. If you'd like to read others, I'd be glad to give you a list of other Tohma/Shu stories someone gave me. Also, don't worry about telling me that my chapters are short. I hear that all the time so it really doesn't bother me. After reading your review I thought, "Yo, imanut, why don't you write them a long chapter?" so I took time carefully writing it. Sorry for such a long wait!

Mizthang22- I'm glad that you still like it! Mika and Yuki are being kinda…evil aren't they? (I feel bad for Yuki tho) Thanks again!

Kiki-sama- I know! I just feel reallybad now.


Chapter 10
Mika was sitting in a chair far away from the couch that little "tramp" was on earlier.

"Could sell it on e-bay. I could say 'Nittle Grasper's Tohma Seguchi and Bad Luck's Shuichi Shindou's love seat,' or something that would really get cash into my pocket," she contemplated, looking at he newly hated piece of furniture.

Mika picked up the phone beside her and dialed a number. She was busily conjuring a plan to get back at a certain couple…

-On the Other Line-

"Hello? Ah, Mika-san, how are you?" said a dark figure sitting in a small, somewhat dark room. The ceiling fan was going at medium speed, interfering with the warmth of the heater. The room was dimly lit by the blinds on the window.

"A job, eh? Of course, what do you need me to do? Take 'care' of someone? Who? Describe them for me. All right…consider it done. The price? For you, baby, nothing." The mysterious man wrote all descriptions Mika gave him. 'This will be fun…'

-On the Street the Next Day-

Shuichi, wearing a hat and sunglasses to disguise himself from crazy and moronic fans, was walking down the street, singing one of his new hits to himself. Despite the cold, there were many people outside, making it easy for just anyone to stalk another…

Suddenly, a hand covered Shuichi's mouth and an arm around his upper body, blocking the pink-haired boy's use of arms. The figure dragged him into a nearby ally where they could speak in private.

As soon as they were in private, the figure turned the singer around to face him. The hand over the boy's mouth let up, but the other was, carefully but firmly, gripping his upper arm.

"Wh-what do you want?" asked Shuichi, with eyes clamped shut.

"To talk," replied a familiar voice. The pop star's eyes opened slowly to see…Yuki.

"Y-Yuki?" Shuichi's eyes filled with an abundance of emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger hurt…love… "What d-do you want to talk about?"

"About the other night," he replied with neutral emotion.

'Does he remember what he did? Is he gonna apologize?'

"What the hell were you doing sleeping with Seguchi?"

"Sleeping wi- Yuki, I never slept with him!" he retorted. 'Well, not in the sense you're thinking.'

Yuki's face was ugly with rage. The grip on the singer's arm tightened incredibly, making the violet-eyed boy wince.

"What do you mean? My sister walked in on you! Don't lie to my face!" he screamed.

Memories of being abused by Yuki flooded Shuichi's bran. The cotton-candy haired singer began shaking violently within the author's grasp.

"How d-did your sister d-describe us?" he asked shakily.

"I think 'slept together' pretty much explains itself, don't you!"

"P-please Yuki, hear me out! I'd never do anything like that!" defended Shuichi.

"Of course not! You'd never do that!" Sarcasm dripped from the novelist's words like acid, and stung like it, too!

'He…he doesn't believe me. I guess I've gotta tell him the whole story.'

-At N-G-

Tohma sat in his desk staring at the window overlooking the city. 'Wow…this scenery gets old really fast.' He turned back toward his desk at the big pile of papers to be signed. 'I wonder what Shuichi's doing…'

He had given Bad Luck the day off, considering what all had happened Saturday.

"Mr. Seguchi, you have a phone call on line 3. It's the press," said his secretary. He nodded, giving the "okay" signal, and she left.

"Crap…"he said aloud, knowing very well that a)he didn't want to deal with them and b)…no wait…that's all.

-Shuichi-

The pink-haired boy was running as fast as he could in the direction from which he came. He figured that if he could get back to the hotel room fast enough, he'd be okay…

-Yuki-

He leaned up against the alley's wall, raged etched away from his face. In its place was fear. At first, he honestly didn't believe the singer, but after witnessing the tears innocently running down Shuichi's face, his pride just…gave in.


To be continued…

Well, once again, I apologize for the long wait. I'm working on chapter 11 at the moment, so expect it up sometime too!

I drew a picture of Shuichi's arms wrapped around Tohma's left arm the other day. I think it turned out really well! When I sketched it out in pencil I thought "Wow…that really looks like Tohma!" but then I went over it in ink and I screwed up his hat…I really want ya'll to see it! Here's what I'll do: I'll go get on get me an account there, too, and I'll see if I can't scan it and get it up! If that doesn't work, sorry! Until next time!

Love,
