"Kosetsu: Snowfall" Chapter 16
by imanut
Oh my God, I'm sooo sorry that it's taken me this long to update! Exams were coming up, I wound up with writer's block, then after I wrote it down on paper I forgot about the story until I reviewed M.A's (Makkura Arashi) story and got an e-mail saying thanks and that she'd be looking out for my story's next chapter. I found myself going "OH CRAP! THAT WAS WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO!" Then it was in the back of my mind till now. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SORRY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! AND I'LL UNDERSTAND IF I'M NEVER FORGIVEN!
NefariousAngel- Thank you! I'm glad that you like my story! Please forgive my procrastination. This is the fist time it's taken me over a month to update. Anyway, there just aren't enough TohxShu fics in this world! Please continue to review!
GravityNeko- I'm so sorry for such a long wait. Tohma happens to be my favorite character, too! Just gotta love his oh-so present smile! You're welcome, I'm glad to be writing this.
Kiki-sama- Thank you very much! So you have me beat at saying sorry, eh? Haha…well, sorry for the wait. I'm glad that you like the "magical donuts." Oh, and I'll keep your words to heart!
wendyghost- I'm sorry for it's shortness and sorry to keep you waiting on this new chapter. Knowing that you'll keep reading even though it's short and even though Yuki's mean had really brightened my day (smiles).
dragonfly-affinity- Oh, don't worry, I promise I'll finish this! And thank you…sorry for the lateness.
ichi-chan- You're welcome and I'm sorry for being a "little" late on my update (gets hit in the head with a shoe by Shu-kun. Shu/sarcastically/ 'oh yeah…only a little')
Yana5- Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you love it! Please forgive my lateness!
japanesenut- Oh, thank you for putting me in your favorites! I don't think I'm worth it though because I kept you waiting for so long. Yuki is so mean to Shu-kun…me thinks Tohma'd be a better lover! Thanks for your review!
blackrosebunny- I didn't mind checking out her story at all. Your friend's story is really good! I'm glad that you loved the chapter, and I'm sorry for making you wait…
Kitty in the Box- Wow…I've never been glomped, kissed, liked, and bitten in one whole review before! I'm so sorry for making you wait over a month! No one should have to wait that long! I'm glad that you love my story, and I'll definitely try to stretch it a tad bit.
DeMoN4EvA- Hahaha…I say sorry when there's no reason to, also. One day, my sister said this to me: "The next time you say sorry when you didn't even do anything wrong, I'm gonna kick you." I love my sister . The thought of Sakano being paired up with Shu is kinda…scary...NO OFFENSE TO THOSE WHO DO LIKE/LOVE THAT PAIRING! I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to update!
Felicity Dream- I'm glad that I could help! I've been stocking up on chocolates and sweets, so I'm pretty much covered! So, 3 more years to go…you're a year younger than me then…my sister said she almost cried when she thought of me going into the 10th grade (Sis and I are 10 years apart).Thanks for wishing me luck, I know I'll need it. I wish you luck for when you get outta highschool! And I'm sorry for such a long wait.
Makkura Arashi- I'm sorry that I didn't update so quickly. But I have you to thank for getting my butt in gear, motivating me to type up the story! For doing this, I give you…(drum-roll) "MAGICAL CHOCOLATE!" Enjoy…
unknown- I'm glad that you like my story and like my ooc Tohma better than the original Tohma! I'm sorry that I made you wait this long…(thinks a moment)…do you really think I could write a ryuxshu?
Ryuske-…(blinks a couple of times) My goodness you glare a lot (/smiles/…careful your face could freeze like that). I'm sorry that I irritated you by taking so long to update, for my donuts being dry, and for whatever else I've done to you. BUT…DON'T BECOME A SQUIRREL AND EAT ME! (becomes innocent looking) If you do that…I couldn't finish the story, and then you'd have to wait even longer!………Ok being serious now. I would appreciate it if you would review this chapter, too. (does a sincere smile)
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Chapter16
His heartbeat sped up due to the anticipation of an answer. Tohma knew it was unfair of him to unload his feelings upon the young vocalist, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He needed to know. Needed to know if Shuichi felt the same.
The pink-haired teen's heart began to pound in his chest, just as it did every time he thought of the blonde before him. Each time, it grew more and more intense with every beat, every passing thought of his powerful man. He had never felt anything this intense when with Eiri Yuki!
'What to do?' Shuichi thought again. 'I…I think I love him, too. Otherwise, I'd mention Yuki every time he'd kiss my head, right? Y-yeah…I-I love him, too.'
"Tohma-kun," he began, looking into loving green eyes, a blush spreading on his face, "I…I think I love you too. No…I do love you! Every time I'm with you or think about you or think about you, there's this feeling inside me that grows and grows. Sometimes, it hurts, but it's a good hurt. I've never felt like this in my entire life."
The keyboardist's eyes lit up, filling up with more love, if that's even possible. He embraced the singer again, holding him tightly to his chest as though he would disappear if he didn't.
Yuki-
He stood outside Tohma's office door, shocked with mouth gaping. Eiri Yuki had heard every word. The novelist felt hurt, as though he were betrayed.
'I need a drink…'
Hank Bennett-
It was almost time for his target to get out of work. He sat anxiously in his car, waiting. Just one hour to go.
"Cherish you last sixty minutes of freedom, my sweet, unsuspecting victim."
Tohma x Shu-
The new couple walked down the hall, hand in hand. Shuichi lay his head upon the black clothed shoulder of the Nittle Grasper keyboardist, the hand not in the grasp of the blonde, clutching onto the side of Tohma's said coat.
The blonde was wearing the Cheshire Cat's grin. Finally, after so long, he had won Shuichi's affection. He promised himself that he wouldn't mistreat the vocalist the way Eiri had.
Suddenly, Tohma realized that he had to tell the secretary at the front desk something of utmost importance.
"Shu-kun, you go on to the car. I'll be right there," he said, handing the violet-eyed singer the keys.
"All right, then. See you in the car! But hurrrryy," said the smiling pink fluff, grabbing the keys and giving Tohma the faintest brush of a kiss upon his lips. He then skipped out the door.
Hank got out of his car, heading for his target. He smirked, thinking of his grand prize for bringing in his prey. 'A date with Mika!' he sing-sang in his mind, suddenly bursting into freakish chuckling. The old man sitting on a near by bench suddenly ran as though his life depended on it (poor soul). Hank started walking faster.
Twenty steps away, he began running after him. Hank grabbed Shuichi who began to struggle.
"TOHMA!" cried the vocalist, "TOHMA, HELP! SOMEBODY!"
"Oh, shove it, kid. No one's gonna be commin' ya hearin' me?" He pulled out a handkerchief, with the initials "HB" printed on them, out of his pocket and placed it over Shu's nose and mouth. The struggling began to lessen and three more minutes later, the teen went limp. 'Finally,' thought the jerk, stupidly dropping the handkerchief onto the ground.
He stowed Shuichi into the backseat and got in the driver's seat. Bennett started the ignition and sped off to his own –cough cough- "pad."
Back At N-G-
Tohma ceased on his conversation and turned fearful eyes toward the door his love left through. He bolted out the doors and spotted his car keys a good ten feet from the car. The blonde looked around and saw a car speeding off like a bat outta Hell, but was able to catch his license plate number.
"My God," he whispered. 'Don't worry Shuichi-koi. I'll get you back…'
To be continued…
I know how disappointing it is to go find an updated story, see that the chapter looks pretty long, but only to find that 5 outta 10 pages is the author's nonsense (I'm referring to myself.) and all the individual comments to all the reviewers. So, what I'm gonna do is this: I'm going to start acknowledging you by writing your names up here instead. This isn't what I want to do though. I'd rather continue writing comments and such. But I figure that if I just type down your names, then it'll take me less time to update.
Once again, I'm really sorry for the wait.
Love,
