Chapter 2/ Constant Surprises

"SHUICHI!"

When the caller did not get a response, he walked up to Shuichi. He reached out and pulled the headphones off the daydreaming teen and screamed into his ear. "Hey Shu!"

Jumping at the new company he had, Shuichi replied, "Dammit Hiro! Don't do that!" He switched the CD player off and slumped down into the hard wooden bench, as his friend laughed. (A/N: Thought it was gonna be Eiri huh? Well at least I think some of you would. Maybe, maybe not.)

"Sorry." Hiro said as his laughter died down. "You didn't hear me the first time so I had to."

Shuichi glared at him. "Any normal person would have just tapped me on the shoulder."

Hiro sat in the space next to his friend and smacked Shuichi on the back. "Yeah, I know. But since when were we ever normal?"

"Whatever. So who did you have to talk with that's so important, you would ditch your own friend to meet?" Shuichi asked as he put his CD player back into his coat pocket.

"I met up with Mr. Seguchi." Hiro answered while watching the sunset, slowly making the whole sky look orange and pink. Then he looked back to Shuichi. "He told me that we start our first day at the studios tomorrow."

Shuichi sighed and rested his chin on the palms of his hands. "Oh really."

Hiro stared at Shuichi. He was getting really worried because he thought that his band mate would get a bigger reaction from the news than this. "Hey, you okay Shuichi?"

Sitting up, Shuichi faced him and put on his best smile. "Yeah! I can't wait! This is the moment we've been waiting for Hiro!" Seeing that his friend was not convinced, Shuichi got up and walked over to the railing in front of him. He crossed his arms and laid it onto the bar. "It's just that… This was the City I was supposed to go to ten years ago…" Shuichi sighed and viewed the city bellow him. "What if I see him again Hiro? What am I gonna say? Will he even recognize me?" He turned around and leaned back against the cold railing. "I want to see him so badly. I miss him ya know? That's why hopefully he'll spot me somewhere. Walking down the street, anything. Just so he finds me or I find him."

Hiro walked up to Shuichi and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll help you find him. I want to meet him myself. If it weren't for him getting separated from you, I would have never met you."

Shuichi chuckled at that last part. "Yeah, I guess your right." He then pulled Hiro into a hug and whispered into his ear, "Thanks Hiro. For everything."

Returning the hug, Hiro answered, "No problem Shu."

"Stupid fangirls." Yuki mumbled as he walked back inside his apartment. Throwing his coat onto the coffee table, he told himself, "Never get to do anything with them around." Very annoyed, Yuki crashed down onto the couch and yelled out, "Argh! What am I gonna do now!"

As if on cue, Tohma called. Great. As if his day couldn't get any worse. Yuki just sat there glaring at the phone. He thought to himself that maybe, just maybe, if he stared coldly at the damn device, it would blow up and take Tohma with it. After 20 rings, the phone finally ceased. Smirking, Yuki laid his head back, feeling grateful that the phone had finally shut up. But no, you know how persistent Seguchi is, and so he called again.

Although the great Eiri Yuki never likes to give in, he had to answer Tohma. The annoying ring of the phone was giving him a pounding headache. Ashamed of himself for losing to an inanimate object, Eiri picked the thing up and answered with a grunt.

"Oh hello Eiri-san! I don't know if you heard, but I was trying to get a hold of you for the past ten minutes." Tohma chirped, not hearing the comment that Yuki had said to him. "Well anyways, I wanted to ask you if you could come down to my office tomorrow afternoon, since it appears that you cannot wake up in time in the morning."

Yuki slouched with his head hung low and his fingers rubbed at his throbbing temples. "Whatever."

The older man giggled on the other line. "Glad to hear your cooperating. See you then, Eiri-san! And don't be late this time."

With that, Yuki hung up the phone.

The next day at NG studios…

"Hiroooo… We're lost! Are you sure you know where we're goin'?" Asked Shuichi as they continued their search through the many hallways of NG.

After many doors and hallway mazes of doom, Hiro finally led them to Seguchi's office. "Aha! I told you I knew where I was going!"

They knocked on the door and entered as soon as they heard the command "Come in" from their boss.

They stepped into the giant room and walked up to Tohma, who was sitting at his desk, hands clasped together over a stack of paper work.

"I see that you guys finally decided to show up."

Hiro sweat dropped while Shuichi informed Tohma about why they are late. "Well you see, Seguchi-san, Hiro here got lost and didn't know where to go." Hearing that, Hiro smacked Shuichi upside the head and Tohma cleared his throat after laughing at their behavior.

"It's quite alright. Everyone gets lost here once in a while. Especially on their first day!"

Shuichi smiled at this. "Are you saying you did too, Seguchi-san?"

"No."

"Oh… Ahahaha…" Shuichi didn't know what to say so he continued to fake a laugh, waiting for Hiro to do something.

Hiro, finally understanding the sign his vocalist was giving him (A bright neon poster that wrote "Say something!"), asked, "So uh, when do you want us to start?"

Tohma stood up and walked towards the door. "Right now actually. Follow me."

Obeying their orders, Shuichi and Hiro left after him.

XxxXxxX

Now that they knew where their room was, the two members of "Bad Luck", of which they are called from now on, sat at their chairs, waiting for the manager to show up.

Shuichi, getting tired of just sitting there doing nothing, jumped up and ran for the door.

"Where are you going now, Shu?" Asked Hiro as he watched the hyper teen push the door open.

Sprinting out of the room Shuichi yelled over his shoulder to answer the question. "I'm gonna go check out the vending machine I spotted earlier! Be back in a few!"

Yuki entered through the huge, glass double doors of NG studios and headed towards Tohma's office. While he was walking through the halls towards his destination, Yuki saw a bright pink blur, that looked remarkably like his childhood friend's hair, zoom past him. Blinking, he saw the blur ram into a nearby wall.

Yuki grew wide-eyed when he saw whom it was. "Ryuichi?" Oh no. There's no telling what this kumagoro carrying singer was going to do if he's hyper enough to smash himself into a wall. With that on his mind, Eiri made a break for it. Hoping Ryuichi didn't notice him standing there… But you know it wouldn't be fun if he did get away.

"Yuki!" Ryuichi screamed, running after the blonde novelist.

"Shit!"

Crash! Ryuichi flung himself onto Yuki, and the both went rolling down the hallway until they came to a stop at another wall.

Eiri started to pry the singer off of him with no avail. "Let go of me!"

Ryuichi's eyes grew huge and he grinned. "Not until you get me candy!"

"Fine!" Relieved that the older man had finally let go, he waited for Ryuichi to direct him to a vending machine or a shop or somewhere that had candy.

The Nittle Grasper star skipped in front of Yuki, leading him towards his 'favorite' vending machine.

When they made it to the machine, Yuki stood in shock. Right there, in front of him… Was…

(A/N: Should I cut you off there? No I won't! Don't worry, I'm not that evil! Or am I? Mwuhahahahahahaha)

Was… An empty vending machine that fell over. Wrappers everywhere! Who could have done this! Well, Yuki didn't really care so he snapped back into reality and snuck away from Ryuichi who was currently hugging Kumagoro to his chest, sobbing and chanting "Why? Why? Who could eat all of Kuma-chan's and Ryu-chan's favorite candy? Why!"

Eiri made his way into Tohma's office and took a seat in a big, leather chair. The older blonde sat at his desk staring at Yuki, wondering where to begin.

"Eiri-san, I-" Tohma was cut off when a man walked in with a huge poster in his hands.

The man came up to Tohma and asked, "We have the poster, what would you like to do with it?"

Tohma clapped his palms together and asked cheerfully, "It's here? Why don't I take a look?" Well it wasn't so much of a question than it was a demand.

The man complied and rolled the poster down so his boss can see. In the huge picture, were two good-looking men (And they are really good looking!) with bold letterings that wrote, "Bad Luck".

"That looks really great! Don't you think so too, Eiri-san?" Tohma asked while motioning the other blonde to take a look.

Yuki sighed and got up to 'comment' on the poster he didn't really need to see. "It's-" Yuki stopped himself from the remark to get a closer look at the teen with the dazzling purple eyes.

"Ah, I see you're interested in the one with the pink hair. He's the one I wanted to talk to you about." Tohma informed.

Yuki didn't take his gaze off of our cute little vocalist. "Huh?"

"I was hoping that you would be able to take care of Mr. Shindou. That was the favor I wanted to ask of you."

Yuki brang his attention back to Tohma. "Shindou?" The keyboardist nodded his head. "Shuichi Shindou?"

"Yes, how did you know his name?"

Yuki ignored his question and yelled out, "Bring him to me!"

XxxXxxX

"Ha-Choooooo!"

"Hey, you okay Shuichi?"

"Yeah. (Sniff) I'm probably just getting a cold."

"Never should have ate all that ice cream yesterday huh? You little idiot."
