-Chapter 3-
-The one that love called home-
Declaimer: Not mine ever will be mine, so stop asking. Well NEKO is MINE…but GRAVITATION is NOT mine.
Warnings-This one's going to be a tear jerker. If you hate sad stories then leave now.
A/N: before I start I want to thank everyone who's read and reviewed my story. This chapter is dedicated to all of you who've been nice to me.
-Hiro-
"And when I blamed him he didn't yell at me. It's strange. I've never seen him act so…nice before. It's like he's changed for the better." Shuichi said all bubbly eyed. "That's nice." I replied picking at random strings on my guitar.
"Oh, let me tell you about this boy!" Shuichi started on another completely random conversation. That's when the door burst open and K started to shot at the white washed ceiling. "Enough chit chat, it's time to get to work!" K laughed like a manic that had just climbed out of prison.
"Don't shoot me!" Shuichi cried as he tried to cover his head. I just had to laugh. He still hadn't learned that K wasn't really going to shot him. He'd have to go through Tohma and Eiri. I don't think that K is that brave.
"Then get to work!" K laughed pointing his gun at Shuichi's head. It's so funny how naïve he could be at times.
Fujisaki rolled his eyes as he warmed up on the keyboards. He'd been later than usual this morning, and thus he didn't want to speak. Maybe he was mentally reflecting on how dumb it had been for him to be late. He was NEVER late. Shuichi was a different story though.
Just minutes after we'd finished our first song, Tohma came into the room. "Shindo San, please come with me. Eiri's here to see you."
Shuichi's eyes went all wide as he took a few minutes to down the information his brain had just received, before he took off running down the hall leaving Fujisaki and me to stare at the lose papers that were flying about the room. "Have a nice day." Tohma said before walking out.
-Shuichi-
I entered Tohma's office where Yuki was waiting. "Yuki!" I cheered as I latched onto his chest. "Good to see you too, brat." I couldn't believe that he was acting NICE to me. The YUKI EIRI being NICE to ME.
My heart fluttered as I smiled at him. "How's it going?" I asked as I let my eyes wander over the office. Nittle Grasper's records hung all over the walls. My dream was that one day we have as many records as they did.
"I have some news for you two." Tohma said as he sat at his desk. I looked up at the blonde as he placed that creepy smile that just told you he was up to something.
"I did the research you asked me to, Eiri." Tohma had that smile still plastered on his face. It was enough to send chills up my spin. "And?" Yuki asked taking a deep breath of air.
"I looked for anything I could find on Neko, and there's nothing." My jaw hit the ground for the second time in two days. "How is that possible?" I stuttered. "There's no birth certificate, no death certificate, no family, no nothing…"
Yuki looked taken back by this. "This can't be." Yuki sighed letting out that breath that he'd been holding in. "What are we going to do? This isn't possible." Yuki ran a hand through his perfect golden blonde hair.
"Is he here right now?" "Yeah, Sanako took him to the restroom. He didn't know where it was." "So what are we going to do now?" I asked as I sat down by Yuki. I really wanted to help this kid.
That's when the door opened, and Neko came in. He'd told me his name last night. "Neko, do you have any family?" Tohma asked as Neko flattened his ears to his head.
"I can't remember." He replied as his gaze wandered over to the window. "He doesn't remember!" Yuki hissed. This was obviously giving him a headache.
"Then what are we supposed to do with him?" "Let him stay with us." I replied as I placed a hand on his shoulder. "What? You're hardly welcomed there. What makes you think that I want to become the guardian of some homeless kid?"
I stared at him in shock. "Yuki…" "I'm thirteen!" a voice full of distaste called from the doorway. Neko swished his tail in an irritated way. Tohma laughed under his breath, but he tried to hide it form Yuki.
"I would let him stay with me, but Mika's pregnant and due to have the baby next week." "Please, can he stay with us? He has no where else to go!" I begged as fake puppy tears began to build in my eyes. Neko came and made the exact same face as me.
Yuki rolled his eyes. "Fine, but you two have to be quiet so I can get some work done." Yuki sighed. "This is the last time I play the part of the Good Samaritan." Yuki told himself. "So what if the media shows up?" "We'll keep everything under wraps until someone puts a missing add in the paper." Tohma replied. "I have some of my best detectives on this case. I'll find the place where he belongs for you guys."
"Thank you; you don't know how much this means to me." I said as I stood up and shook the president's hand. I didn't usually care for him, but right now I was just glad that he was going to help.
Just then the phone rang. "N-G productions, Tohma speaking." Tohma said with that cheery smile on his face.
I was glad that the person on the other end of the line couldn't see that smile on his face. He was silent as he listened, and we all watched on curiously as all the color began to drain form his face.
"Thank you, I'll be there soon." He said hanging up the phone. "What's wrong?" Neko asked as his tail swished back and fourth.
"Mika's dead." He whispered as his eyes filled with tears. Yuki was clearly in shock. "What happened?" "She was murdered. The maid found her in our room." He replied as we followed him out the door.
-The Hospital-
Yuki, Neko, and I sat in the waiting room. I wrapped an arm around Yuki's shoulder and he let me console him. I glanced at Neko. His eyes were downcast and his ears were flat against his head.
"You okay?" I asked as I glanced at him. Usually I was cheerful, but today I just couldn't muster the energy to be happy. He didn't respond. He just stared.
He looked up at me with the blankest look in his eyes. Tohma came out. "I'm going to find out who did this." Tohma said with a look of stone on his face.
"Tohma, love called her home…" Neko whispered. "I suppose you're right." Tohma replied smiling that smile that no had no emotions behind it.

A/N: Well there's chapter 3. I'd planned it to be sadder, but I couldn't think of anything. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks for reading. Don't forget to review. Smiles proudly.
