Chapter 8: Deja Vu. . . . ?

Shuuichi's POV

It's already been two weeks now since our fans found out about me and Tohma and that Nittle Grasper and Bad Luck are back together. Things have quieted down a little bit since the news hit everyone. Everything is back to normal now at NG Productions. The same old days as it used to be, with K threatening everyone, Hiro trying to calm us down, Fujisaki is as quiet as usual and wants things to be done on time and Ryuuichi and I are still our usual energetic selves. Even though this way of life is kind of crazy, I love it and I wouldn't have it any other way. Though everyone is not to happy about it because they think something might go wrong, Yuki and I are friends now. To tell the truth, I didn't want to but then again I did. It's all confusing. Oh well, what's done is done, I suppose.

Yuki had a new book recently published so I decided to read it tonight after dinner. I was laying down on the couch reading it when Tohma came into the living room and sat down beside me. "Shuuichi, I need to tell you something." He didn't seem like he wanted to tell me something bad but then why was he talking so quietly. Well, Tohma always has a straight face on. I put the book down to listen to what he had to say. "What is it? I hope it's not bad news." "Well, you can say it's bad and good news." He smiled at me, then continued. "In two days I have to leave for New York on a business trip, but I will be back in no time." What? Tohma's leaving. I know he's a very busy person, but so soon. I mean, we only been together for two weeks and this will be the first time without him. "Oh, I see." "Don't sound so disappointed. I promise I'll be back as soon as possible. In about a week or even less." A whole week without him. I guees I can survive that. But it'll be so lonely without him here. I can't wait that long but it can be loger so I guess it's not so bad. "And the good news?" "Come with me." He took my hand and we left the house. Where was he going to bring me?

We were at the park. "Remember the other night you said you wanted to see the sunset with me?" He remembered that. Yes, I'll be able to watch it with him. He put his arms around me and we stood there and watched the sun set. It was such a beautiful day today and the sky was beautiful. The little breeze played around with our hair. I moved closer to him. My heart was pounding. Why was I so nervous? Tohma looked nervous too, and he was blushing slightly. Then a thought occured to me. He said he had good news, and then he brought me here. Was he going to- "Shuuichi." I turned around to face him. If he's going to do what I think he's going to do- I got even more nervous. I mean, so soon? I hope I wasn't dreaming.

He kissed me on my forehead and then on my lips. When he pulled away, he slipped his hands into his pocket. Oh, my god, he is going to- I could feel my heart beat faster. "Tohma." "Shh." He placed his finger over my lips. He knows that I know what he's going to ask me. "Shuuichi, will you marry me?" He presented a small box that was opened, revealing a ring that glimmered so beautifully in the sun set behind us. I jumped into his arms and kissed him. We lost balance and fell on the ground, still kissing. "I'll take that as a yes, then." Tohma said, trying to catch his breath. "Yea. I just can't believe so soon, but I'm not complaining." I hugged him again. Me and Tohma, this is like a dream. I was so happy. My heart was jumping in joy and I tried to supress as squeal but couldn't. "You look really happy." "Of course I am. I'll be officially yours soon! Yay!" I got up and helped Tohma off the ground and started dancing. He laughed and said that I looked so cute. He pulled me over to him and slid the ring onto my finger. It really was pretty. "Thankyou, Tohma. I feel like the happiest and the luckiest guy in the world!" We stayed a little longer in the park before going home.

The next day at work, I bragged all day about last night and I showed off my ring to everyone. "My cousin sure cares a great deal about you. You're very lucky." Fujisaki sounded a bit surprised. K-san whistled and wished he had one like that. He even threatened to take it from me by force but somehow I got out of that one alive just the same as I got away from all his other threats. "Yo, Shuuichi. Way to go! I can't believe how quickly Tohma proposed to you. He certainly cares a lot for you, I'm so jealous. My Shuuichi is growing up so fast. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding." Hiro was teasing me. "Hey, what do you mean I'm growing up? I'm not a kid!" "I know, I know." He said nervously. "At any rate, I'm so proud of you." Everyone was so surprised to hear that Tohma proposed to me, that they could hardly say anything more. They were also kind of jealous, it made me feel special. I still couldn't beleive it myself.

Today Tohma was leaving for New York. I can't wait for him to come back home. I'm going to miss him so much. "Tohma, I don't want you to go." I kept pulling on his sleeve and begged him to stay. "I don't want to go either, but I have to. I'll be back soon. I'm going to miss my plane, so you're going to have to let me go." He smiled at me. A whole week without him smiling at me. "So, you can miss your plane and stay here with me!" I teased him. Well if I didn't stop playing aroung he really was going to miss his plane so I let go. I stood up on my toes and kissed him on his nose, and then hugged him tightly. "I love you, Tohma." "I love you, too. I promise I'll come home as soon as possible and I'll call you when I'm on my way." He kissed me goodbye and then ran to his plane.

Since Tohma was gone this week, we had the entie week off all to ourselves. If only we had a vacation where Tohma would be here so I can be together with him. Anyway, for most of the week, I spent it hanging out with Hiro and Ryuuichi. I tried to get some lyrics done so we would be prepared for work when we got back. While going home one night, I ran into Yuki and he knew about my engagement. He probably heard from Tohma. Tohma probably told him to rub it in his face. At least now, Yuki knew and wouldn't try anything. Yuki looked disappointed that I was going to spend the rest of my life with Tohma instead of him and he looked depressed. We decided to hang out for a bit and talk. I told him that I'm reading his knew book and that it was really good. He blushed at my comment although I don't know why. Later, he dropped me off at Tohma's house and left.

It was so quiet, so lonely without Tohma here. The phone rang. I jumped up to get it, hoping it was Tohma. "Hello? Tohma, is that you?" "Hey, Shuuichi." It was him. I felt so relieved to hear his voice after so long. "I'm waiting at the airport now. I'll be on my way home soon. I should be there by tomorrow morning. They said the plane might be delayed, so you don't have to come to the airport to pick me up. Well, I got to go. I'll see you soon." Yay! Tohma was coming home. I can't wait to see him. I don't feel like going to sleep because I might miss when Tohma gets home. I want to be awake when he gets home so that I can greet him right away. I'll keep myself occupied by finishing the book.

It was almost morning and I was just a chapter away from finishing. I turned on the T.V. when I went into the kitchen to grab something to eat. I wasn't really listening to it since it was on the news channel. After I made something to eat, I sat back down on the couch and began reading again. "There have been some recent murders in New York, so last night, the planes from New York to Tokyo, Japan were delayed, making sure the murderers weren't on the plane. After the thorough check up on the plane, they left last night around ten p.m. The murderers that were found on the plane were planning to go to Tokyo to escape. They were arrested last night. However, it seems as though they hijacked the plane coming from New York. The plane suffered a serious crash but luckily no one died. The passengers were badly injured. No one came out unharmed. The passengers were immediately hospi-" I forgot to turn off the T.V. It was so loud, I couldn't concentrate on my book.

When I finished, I noticed that the story was very similar to mine and Yuki's life together. Did he base it on us? I went to the dedication page and saw my name. Right before it, there was an extra page I hadn't noticed before. It read:

Shuuichi, I'm truely sorry for what I've done to you. I really love you and I wish you were still mine. I started this book two years ago, when we were still lovers. Back then we were really close to eachother, so I wanted this book to be about our lives when we were happy together. But instead, I was being cold to you and kept pushing you away, causing you to leave me. I didn't want you to know that I was writing this book because I wanted to finish as soon as possible and surprise you with it. But things didn't turn out that way. I thought of doing this to make you happy but I only caused you pain. Now that you're with Tohma and not with me, I changed the story around a bit. I didn't want to write down what really happened, so I changed a few things. Anyway, there's a happy ending in the book itself for the two main characters involved, but for us, in real life, we ended up suffering, you suffering the most. I suppose in a way, we had a happy ending but not the one I hoped for. This story is another way of me saying I'm sorry and showing you instead of telling you, the way I wanted things to turn out. the way I hoped for. Our fantasized happy ending. I also wanted to let you know that I still love you no matter what and that I'm here for you. I'll always love you. Feel free to ask me for anything. I'll grant you the wish wanted so bad two years ago, although I'm not so sure it will matter to you now but, "I love you."

Always yours,

Eiri Yuki

It was nice to know he still cared for me but it's too late now. However, I couldn't stop a smile from tugging at the end of my lips. This book was for me after all, so I'm going to accept it as his last gift of love. The phone rang. Was it Tohma? Did he just get here? That means he'll be home shortly. I ran to the phone. "Hi!" "Shuuichi, it's Hiro. Did you think I was Tohma?" Hiro? Why would he be calling. "Oops. Sorry Hiro. What's up?" "I was just listening to the news. Did you here it?" I had the news on before, but like I said, I wasn't really paying attention. "No, why? What happened?" Whatever happened, I don't know why he was telling me. What would it have to do with me. "Turn it on, see for youself." He sounded. . . . Upset. Okay, this was starting to worry me, so I turned on the news. They said something about murderers and hijackers on a plane trying to escape to Tokyo, but I didn't see what it mattered to me. "Shuuichi, wasn't that Tohma's plane?"

Owari (The End)

-----------------------

Author's Notes: The reason I called this chapter "Deja Vu. . . . ?" is because of the way it ends with Tohma in the plane crash and his wife dying in one. Also the way Yuki imagined the outcome with Shuuichi and hoped for it but it didn't happen that way. So in his new book, he changed the ending. Just in case you were wondering. How many of you remember me mentioning that book he didn't want Shuuichi to find out about in the first or second chapter? hehe. I thought of letting the story end with all of you guys wondering and asking questions. Yep, it leaves you hanging, don't you just love stories like that? Well, some of you inspired me to make Tohma propose to Shuuichi so I did that to satisfy you guys a little bit. Some of you also left ideas like, What would happen if Shuuichi got hurt again? If he was robbed, beat up, etc etc? This is where the ending of this story came in. I decided to end it like this to tease my fans. But don't worry, I'm planning on writing a sequal to answer your questions and to use your idea in it. You guys are very inspiring, thankyou all. Please read my sequal. It will be posted soon!
