Chapter Seven: News Spreads
Shuichi woke up panting and in a cold sweat. In his dream, he had come home to find Yuki lying in a puddle of blood, knife in hand. And it scared him terribly. He was so terrified because it was when he woke up that the meaning of what Hitomi said, hit him. She wanted Yuki to die. What scared Shuichi most, was that he knew his husband would kill himself, if it would mean his freedom.
-------------------------------------
Tohma approached his brother-in-law's apartment in a good mood. He'd almost forgotten he was supposed to be house sitting, but as he opened the door something seemes off. Did he smell blood? Tohma hurriedly flipped on the light only to gasp in horror. There was his dear Eiri, laying in a puddle of blood, knife in hand.
"Eiri!" he yelled rushing over to the unconcious blonde. He immediately checked for a pulse, hoping he wasn't too late. The pulse was there. Very faint, but there, he noted with a sigh of relief. He quickly called 911 and gave them the situation and address. He noticed a letter on the table and picked it up deciding to read it later. He'd investigate after Eiri was safe and sound in a hospital bed.
-----------------------------------
Tatshuya awoke to the ringing of his phone at one in the morning. "Hello?" he asked groggily. "What? Eiri? No way! He's supposed to be on vacation!" he yelled, startling the sleeping Ryuichi beside him.
"Tatsu...what are you doing up? It's one o'clock in the morning." Ryuichi mumbled after Tatshuya hung up the phone.
"C'mon, get dressed. We have to go to the hospital."
"What? Why? What happened?"
"Eiri tried to commit suicide."
-------------------------------------
Hiroshi awaoke to the ringing of a phone as well. 'nn...who would be calling at 1:30 in the morning?' he thought as he answered sleepily. He was soon wide awake. "What? What about Shu? Where was he during this?" he asked as he rushed to get dressed. "What do you mean nowhere to be found?"
-------------------------------------
K, Fujisaki, and Sakano were all awoken in the same manner. The ringing of the phone and the starteling news of Eiri's suicide attempt. It wasn't long before all of Eiri and Shuichi's close acquaintenances were standing in the hospital lobby, listening to Tohma's explanation of what he knew so far.
"From this letter I found, we know that Shindou-san had been kidnapped and Eiri did this to get him back. We won't know anymore until Eiri himself wakes up and tells us."
"I wonder why he didnt' ask us for help..." said Hiro, confusedly.
The rest of the wait for the doctor's conclusion was eerily silent. Finally a couple hours later, a doctor came out. "Seguchi, Tohma?" he asked, walking over to the only group of people in the waiting room.
Tohma stood silently, acknowledging the man's presence.
"I'm Doctor Shaw. I'm the one attending to Mr...Eiri Uesegi." he said looking through some papers on a clipboard.
"Well? How is he?"
"He's in critical condition. He lost alot of blood. Right now he's in a coma and we're not sure if he'll wake up. We'll do the best we can but it's possible that he'll be in the coma for the rest of his life. I'm sorry."
"Thank you Doctor. Can we see him?"
"Well, visiting hours are over but I'll give you all a few minutes." he answered before leading them down a hall. He stopped at a door, opening it slowly. "Don't be too long please. There are other sleeping patients and visiting hours were over hours ago."
So after visiting the unconcious novelist, the group parted ways, planning to meet the next at a nearby diner to discuss what to do about Shuichi's disappearance.
------------------------------------
The next morning Tatsuke awoke to find a sobbing Shuichi listening to news Hitomi was watching on tv.
"And on to our most interesting story, famous romance novelist, Eiri Yuki was found in his apartment, near death. It is rumored that it was a suichide attempt but non of his family will give any comment on the matter. Doctor's say he is in coma and chances of waking up are slim. And also, his supposed lover, Shuichi Shindou has been nowhere to be found as of late. We can only wonder where he could possibly be in his lover's time of pain."
"Well, all be damned. Looks like he lives after all." Hitomi commented.
End Chapter 7
Well there ya go! Did ya'll really think I'd let Yuki die? lol XD Oh and I'm sure you will all be happy to know that I'm almost done with this fic. I've decided how many chapters I want and I have each chapter planned out. There will be 12 chapters in all and I'm in the middle of writing Chapter 10. That means I can update the next few chapter as quickly as I wish. So I expect lots of reviews. At least ten a chapter would be very nice. -wink- XD Till next time!
