DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GRAVITATION! k thx

WARNING: potential volume 2 manga spoiler (even though it is on like page 3 >. U)

A/N: upon recieving the manga seriestoday, and currently on volume 3 (obsessed much) I have concluded adding more characters that appear in the manga but not in the anime...plus reffering to things that happen in the manga and not in the anime...I should be finished with the series in a couple days (fast reader) so yea, my story should be getting a lot better.

CHAPTER 4

"Hm…" Hiro thought for a moment.Shuichi sat next to him on the couch in the lounge at NGR leaning forward with his elbow on his knees, his face in his hands, and a strawberry pocky hanging out of his mouth."Well, you are right." He finally said after moments of silent thinking. "Something is deffinatlygoing on between those two."

"I just hope it's nothing bad."Shuichi said worried, "Or my fault."

"I doubt it'd be your fault." Hiro attempted to cheer Shuichi up, "Yuki would've defiantly let you know somehow if it was."

"You're right." Shuichi sat up, "He is still talking to me!" He paused, "And other…Things…"

"Exactly-" Hiro started, but was cut off by Shuichi as a plan began to formulate.

"Hey, Hiro!" Shuichi's eyes lit up, "We should find out what those two are up to!"

"Uh…Shuichi-"

"We can snoop around and eventually find the reason for their unexplainable behavior."He continued, oblivious to Hiro trying to get his attention.

"SHU!"Hiro bellowed.Shuichi stopped in mid-sentence and looked over at Hiro who stood at the door with his hand grasping the handle.

"Hey…Um, Hiro" Shuichi said quietly, raising a wimpy finger, "How'd you get over there?" Hiro frowned.Shuichi's eyes filled with tears and he fell to his knees, groveling towards the redhead and clamping on to his leg."Oh, Hiro!I'm sorry for whatever I did to upset you!Please don't leave me!Please don't leave Bad Luck!Remember, you're dreams of med school are pretty much shot either way!What would you do?What would I do!"

Hiro sighed, deciding words wouldn't work, and just open the door.There was a loud 'thud' asthree bodies fell through the door way and landed scrambled up on the floor in a scrambled pile.Shuichi blinked and slowly slid down Hiro's leg.

"Were you guys…" He blinked again, "Were you eavesdropping?"

"For the record, I was not eavesdropping!"Sakuna stammered as he stood up and dusted himself off, "I came to tell you something , but K wouldn't let me in."

Everyone turned their attention to the blonde American, "I was just walking back from lunch and saw young Fujisaki crouched at the door, when I asked what he was doing he shushed me and made me crouch down as well."

Everyone now shifted their attention to Suguru Fujisaki who laid sprawled on the floor after being crushed by the two older men. "What'd you expect me to do?"He said sitting up and looking straight at Shuichi and Hiro, "You two kicked me out and I wanted to know what was going on!" He said defending himself.

"So what's this with Tatsuha and Yuki?" K askedlooking from Hiro to Shuichi.

Shuichi frowned, "Hey!That's private business between me and Hiro!"

"Not anymore."Hiro pointed out the three others standing in front of them.Shuichi sighed and stood up so that he was at eyelevel with everyone else, theoretically (He was only 5'5"), and looked around the room. "Yuki and Tatsuha have been up to something and won't leave me alone, so I'm - well, me and Hiro- are going to figure out what's going on." He said defiantly.

"That won't work" Fujisaki said, almost laughing.

"Why not!" Shuichi looked down at him, who, unlike everyone else, was still on the ground.

"What he means," K began to explain, "Is that if they won't leave you alone, how do you expect to snoop?"

"I…uh…"

"They are right…" Hiro shrugged.

Shuichi looked up at Hiro frowning, "Some best friend, taking their side!"

"Since when were there sides to this!" Hiro asked confused.

"I think we're all curious as to what's going on with the Uesugi brothers." Sakuna said, straightening his glasses on his nose.

"I think…" Fujisaki put his finger to his chin giving a faux 'deep thinking' face, "Maybe you should keep them busy and with you all the time, while us four snoop around for you."

"That's a great plan, Fujisaki-san!" K encouraged the young keyboardist.

"But…I wanted to snoop!" Shuichi shouted, "It was my plan!"

"You'd still be a part of it, Shu." Hiro pointed out, "Except that you'd just keep doing whatever you're doing to keep them from noticing us."

Everyone as silent as they waited for Shuichi to give the 'OK'.This went on for a few moments until Sakuna spoke up, "You should answer soon…There's a call waiting for you, and it's been well over 15 minutes since she asked for you." He added, glancing at his watch.

"She?" Shuichi gave a confused look, trying to think of who it may be.

"A…Maiko?" Sakuna said, having a hard time remembering the name.

"Maiko?" Hiro glanced at Shuichi, "Why is she calling?"

"I dunno." Shuichi shrugged, and looked towards Sakuna for the answer.Sakuna just shrugged.

"I have her on hold." He said, "You might want to hurry before she hangs up." Shuichi ran out of the room and Sakuna leaned out the door to shout out what line she was on.

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

A/N: gotta love Shuichi's major mood swings...it's like constant PMS XD anyways, a character from the manga I have decided to add would be Maiko...I already have it all planned out what I'm going to do with her, and I hope you all enjoy her company (FAN GIRL ALERT!) I was going to attempt to make this chapter longer, but I wanted to add suspense to those that haven't read the manga and don't know who Maiko is...also, I get bored of my own stories if I write them too long...and stories really suck with the author gets bored. So I'll continue the phone convo in the the next chapter. (wow this was long)
