Star: Well, one chapter down another to go.. And more to come also. -Bows- Hoped you liked the last chapter. I'll brush up on my grammar in this one; I wrote the last one at 1:00, what do you expect?

That night

Shuichi awoke quickly that night while falling off the couch. Rubbing his tired eyes, he waited for the room to come into focus. Shuichi looked at the digital clock, which said 3:28.

"I slept that long?" Shuichi grumbled standing up from ground.

He ran a hand through his ruffled hair and started walking towards the bathroom, "After this…" He muttered, "I need to get back to sleep…"

Still halfway asleep he stumbled into the bathroom.

"So… Slee-"

His last words were covered with screams. The bath rug had slipped from under him causing him to fall to the ground with a large thud. His screams echo through the semi-empty house.

"Shuichi! Go the hell back to sleep!" Yuki yelled from his bedroom, he was sitting up right on his bed glaring at the half open door of his bedroom. He scooted under his covers slowly going back to sleep.

Shuichi sat in the bathroom, flat on his back covering his mouth. He slowly got up and steadied himself on the cold floor. Shuichi gave a silent sigh and thought, 'Good thing I didn't break anything, I couldn't pay for the damage."

The impact with the floor caused the medicine cabinet to fly open, the contents inside spill all over the floor and sink.

'Ugh..' He moaned getting on his hands and knees picking every content of the cabinet up.

After picking up everything, he went to put the last thing back when he noticed a orange pill bottle.

"What's this?" He whispered to himself, picking up the bottle and examining it.

'Is Yuki ok?' He asked himself putting the bottle back in the cabinet, 'Maybe it's just leftovers from his stomach ulcers.'

Shuichi nodded a few times agreeing with that fact and headed towards the bathroom door forgetting that he ever had to go to the bathroom. He stopped in the doorway with his hand on the light switch.

'I hope that's true..' Shuichi gave one last thought before turning off the lights and wondered through the darkness to the couch.

Shuichi woke up the next day around 7:41. He stretched out on the couch and laid there before noticing the time.

'7:41!' Shuichi screamed in his head.

Shuichi rolled off the couch and on to the hard floor. He quickly stood up and ran through out the house gathering things and getting dressed.

Shuichi hopped past the kitchen while putting his pants on, Yuki sat at the kitchen table with the daily news in his hand.

"Why didn't you wake me up, Yuki!" Shuichi yelled slipping on his shoes before rushing to the bathroom to comb his hair.

"You looked peaceful sleeping there." Yuki mocked, looking above his newspaper, "I just didn't want to wake you."

Shuichi hurried out the door, slamming the door behind him. Yuki twitched at the loud sound.

"Don't slam the door.." He muttered before directing his eyes back to his newspaper.

"Where is he.." Mr. K muttered trying to hide the annoyance from his voice while he polished his gun.

Hiro looked up from his guitar and said, "Probably slept in. Or had a -"

"- had a stomach ach." Suguru finished the sentence trying to keep the story PG-13.

Mr. K looked at them disbelieving a word they said.

Shuichi stood outside the door debating if he should go in and become target practice for Mr. K. He took a long breath and closed his eyes.

'I'm sure he's not that crazy.' Shuichi thought slipping his hand to the doorknob and turning it slightly.

Shuichi slipped into the room with his eyes closed. Before opening one eye he heard a gun shot go off. After that gun shot continued a few more. With his knees shaking beneath him he opened his eyes and slid down the door.

Shuichi took a look up at the door, five bullet holes made a small outline of his head. His face lost all color as he pulled his knees to his chest and sat rocking back and forth.

"I can't believe you just did that.." Suguru said sweat breaking out all over his face.

Hiro stood there in a shocked pose, "You could of killed the lead singer of Bad Luck." He paused for a moment, "And think about what Yuki would of done to you if you killed him.."

Mr. K stood there with a straight face before looking up at the ceiling and imaged what 'could' of happened.

Shuichi regained the color to his face and muttered, "Now, shall we get that last song done?"

K looked over from his daydream to Shuichi, "Oh yes, of course! Lets get started shall we?"

K made it look like nothing just happened but the five bullet holes gave enough proof that something had happened. Shuichi slowly stood up his knees still shaking from the shock. Shuichi slunk passed K and into the recording booth. Shuichi gave a heavy sigh as he looked at the two who were giving a nervous laugh.

"Why did you have to sleep in?" Hiro said through the corner of his mouth trying not to let K see.

"Yuki didn't wake me up, plus I was.. Erm.. Investigating last night?" Shuichi replied.

"C'mon now, boys! Once we get this one song done you are free to leave." K said through a small microphone.

Shuichi and Hiro stopped their conversation and hurried to their spots. Suguru had started off with his keyboard softly as Hiro jumped in with his guitar the beat getting faster and faster. Shuichi had his eyes closed as he listened for his cue, the b flat on the piano. He started to break out and sing.

Shuichi's voice was determined and his mind was kept on the song, like Hiro was focused on his Guitar, and Suguru was focused on his keyboard.

Not long before the song started, it seemed like it ended in a flash. Shuichi plopped down on the floor with the microphone still in his hand. He waited for the red light to turn off before he asked, "We're done now.. Right?" He said eying K.

"Yes, of course, like I promised you can go free now." K said fiddling with some of the buttons on a panel.

Each gave a sigh of relief and muttered a few words of thanks as they walked out of the sound room door, or in this case for Shuichi, crawled out of the room. Hiro had taken a seat on a sofa that was in the room.

"I'm beat.." Hiro said trying to loosen the tight muscles in his shoulders and arms, "I didn't get no sleep last night."

Memory came back to Shuichi from last night, "Now I have to worry about that for the rest of the day.." He rubbed his forehead bringing back the memory about what the label on the bottle said.

Suguru had sat at the far end of the couch and said, "About what?"

Shuichi had sat on the floor cross legged as he looked up at Suguru, "Nothing, I'm fine." He gave a bright smile.

Suguru, K, and Hiro looked down at him a bit confused at the smile and all looked at each other. Each a bit concerned in their own way.

Yuki sat on the black couch looking at the TV, it was his way of having a day off. His elbow rested on the arm of the chair and his chin resting on his hand. Yuki's face looked a bit bored while looking at the screen.

'Again, another quiet day with-out, Shuichi.' He thought for a moment before the doorbell had rang.

Yuki gave a small twitch and stood up to answer the door. He stood up and walked to the door opening it. Nothing was in the hall way beyond the door.

"Is this a stupid joke.." Yuki muttered to himself about to close the door before a pink bunny appeared from the corner of the door.

"Yuki!" Said a childish voice said as the bunny jumped up hugging his ankle, "Is Shuichi here?"

Yuki put a hand to his face and said, "No, Ryu.."

Ryuichi appeared from the corner of the door. His eyes got big and watery.

"You spoiled my fun." Ryu whimpered for a moment before putting Kumagoro on his head balancing it steady.

Yuki shook his head and said, "Well, what do you want. Shuichi isn't in." His voice was low and cold.

Ryu welcomed himself into Yuki's home and said, "Just wanted to see if Shuichi wanted to play."

"Well, he'll be here soon. You could wait out in the hall." Yuki said shifting his eyes towards the door.

"Nah, I'll stay in here where it's nice and toasty." Ryu said not even listening to Yuki.

Yuki started twitching a bit before he went into a small coughing fit. Yuki covered his mouth and bent down a little bit trying to stop coughing.

"Yuki? You ok?" Ryu rushed to his side Kumagoro slid off his head.

Yuki stopped coughing and put a hand on the wall for support trying to stand up straight. He moved his hand from his mouth crimson liquid dripped down his hand.

"Yuki, you need to see a doctor." Ryu said his voice serious.

Yuki finally steadied himself and stood up, "No, I'm fine. Just don't tell Shuichi, got it."

"But, Yuk-"

"Don't tell him!" Yuki yelled.

A bit stunned Ryu took a step back from the blonde hair man. Ryu nodded as Yuki left him standing near the door way.

Yuki went to the sink and hurried and cleaned the blood off his hand before just standing there in front of the sink thinking to himself.

'If Shuichi knows, he'll get worried and of course that'll just add more stress to me.' He thought for a moment. Grabbing a paper towel he walked out of the kitchen to check on Ryu. Ryu stood by the doorway with Kumagoro in his hands, he was looking down at the stuffed toy.

"I still say you go to a doctor." Ryu muttered for a moment still a bit serious.

Yuki threw the paper towel away and said, "I don't need Shuichi to know."

"Don't need me to know what?"

Both Ryu and Yuki's heads turned to the voice. Shuichi stood at the doorway looking at both of them.

Ryu had turned back to his regular self and said, "Nothing!" He was balancing Kumagoro on his head again as he pulled Shuichi out of the door and said, "We're going to get something to eat!"
