Chapter Eleven: Death
--BANG!--
'What the hell?' Eiri thought as he opened the door and heard a gunshot. Once he looked up all he could do at first was stare. "Sh...Sh..Shu?" he gasped wide-eyed when he saw his beaten husband chained to a wall with fresh blood flowing from a bullet wound.
---------------------------------
"Eiri?.! Eiri where are you?" Mika yelled frantically. "Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no!...gotta call Tohma! Yeah! Tohma!" she panicked and ranted to herself as she picked up the phone and dialed her spouse's number.
After a few seconds he picked up calmly. "Hello?"
"Tohma he's gone!" she blurted out immediately.
"What? Who?"
"Eiri! He's gone! I can't find him! Oh Tohma what'll I do? What if he tries to jump off a bridge or something!"
"Mika, Honey, Calm down. He's probably just out searching for Shindou-san."
"Yeah. Ok. You're probably right." she answered, calming down quite a bit.
"I'll be over there in just a few moments and we can go look for him ok?"
"Alright. Thank you!"
----------------------------------
"Shuichi! Shuichi please say something! Anything! Just let me know you're alive!" Eiri cried, holding Shuichi's frail body in his arms.
"Y-yu...ki..." was all the singer managed to get out before falling into the oblivion of unconciousness.
"SHUICHI!"
"Hey...you...don't just yell at him..call and ambulence." came a voice from the wall near where Eiri had just taken Shuichi down.
Eiri quickly got his phone out and dialed 911. After giving them directions and information on the situation, they said they'd be there in half an hour. Of course, this got quite a bit of complaint from the novelist seeing as how alot could happen in just 30 minutes, but he finally gave in, accepting what little help he could get for his dying husband. Once he was off the phone, he got the other young man down and asked what had happened to them both.
---------------------------------------
Tohma arrived soon after Mika's frantic call followed by the entire crew of Eiri and Shuichi's friends. After Mika had calmed and told them everything she knew, K silently left. Before the group even had time to utter a single confused word, the crazy blonde returned, map in hand.
"Alright!" he started "We must split up!" K immediately broke them down into teams of two's and three's dividing the whole city of Tokya into sections for each team to search. "Let's ...GO!" he yelled once everything was clear to their "squad". And with that they all parted ways planning to meet back at Eiri and Shuichi's apartment once they finished searching the city.
-----------------------------------------
Hitomi watched silently from the shadows as Tatsuke told Eiri everything that happened, including his role in Shuichi's kidnapping. Overall, Hitomi was thoroughly enjoying each look that crossed the novelist's face, for each one held a certain amount of pain that played across his fine features.
Eiri sat, stunned as he listened to everything Tatsuke said. Part of him wanted to thank his boy for at least trying to protect Shuichi from Hitomi, but the rest of him wanted to murder the little bastard for taking his beloved away in the first place. The one thing keeping his anger in check was the fact that Shuichi considered this young man a friend.
"And so...well...basically I'm sorry...This is all my fault." Tatsuke finished with tears in his eyes.
Suddenly they heard clapping from a corner. "Oh Bravo, bravo! Such a beautiful story, it almost makes me cry." Hitomi said sarcastically. "Ahh, Eiri-kun. I see you found your annoying fluff ball, just as I promised."
"You Bitch!" Eiri yelled, eyes flashing with anger as he lunged at the smiling woman. Unfortunately, Hitomi moved in time so as to not be tackled by the raging novelist.
"Eiri Eiri, tsk tsk tsk. Watch your language in the presence of a lady." she mock scolded with a smirk. Just then some of her henchmen who seemed to come out of nowhere grabbed Eiri, holding him back.
After struggling and realizing he wasn't stronger than all those men together, Eiri asked what had been haunting him ever since Shuichi's dissappearance. "Why? What did Shuichi ever do to you?" he asked quietly, his eyes watering as he looked sadly at his husband's body.
"Oh, didn't you know Eiri Yuki? I did this all because of you. He did nothing."
"What?" Eiri gasped, his eyes widening.
"Hm, I might as well explain seeing as how I'll never see you again after this. You took away the person I loved most. So, I've returned the favor." She smiled wickedly as she nudged Shuichi's body with her foot.
"What the hell?.! I don't even know you! Who did I supposedly take away from you?" Eiri yelled, angry and confused.
"Who, you ask? Taki Aizawa that's who you bastard!" Hitomi yelled back as she went to slap Eiri, but was interupted.
"If you loved my brother so much then join him in hell!" Tatsuke, whom no one noticed had retrieved the gun triggered to the other door, yelled as he shot at Hitomi.
------------------------------------------
After Shuichi adn Hitomi both spent hours in the ER that night, one life was saved...the other, lost.
