Chapter 2: Imprudent
Normal POV
The morning after the fight between Yuki and Shuuichi, Shuuichi awoke to an empty apartment.
Shuuichi was kind of relieved that Yuki wasn't there but then he was upset because he wanted
to talk to him. Shuuichi wanted an explanation from Yuki. But then he realized it didn't matter.
Nothing Yuki did or said would make Shuuichi trust him and believe him again. It's been a week
since Yuki left and Shuuichi's been skipping work. Since that fight, he hasn't eaten or drinking
anything and hasn't spoken to anyone. He didn't even leave the house. Instead, Shuuichi's been
staying wrapped up tightly under the blanket on the couch in the dark, empty apartment all by
himself. He would breakdown into tears about every hour or so and when he cried, he cried for a
long time. Over and over again, Shuuichi would see the images of the fight that occurred a week
ago. They kept playing over in his mind whether he was awake or asleep like a broken record.
These images hurt him more and more each time he saw it. The memories made Shuuichi hate
Yuki more. The reason Shuuichi didn't move from that spot on the couch was because he would
be reminded of something he'd done with Yuki and he was in too much pain as it was.
Already eight O' clock at night, Shuuichi finally decides to get up. He gets dressed in a blue
tank top and short brown shorts. He leaves without a jacket and starts walking aimlessly around
the streets in the rain. He doesn't care where he's going or where he ends up. Shuuichi hopes
he doesn't bump into anyone he knows. He stopped at a bar and decided to have a few drinks.
Shuuichi wasn't much of a drinker but he was really depressed and didn't care. About 3 drinks
later, Shuuichi leaves the bar. It's raining harder out then it was before. He was to weak to walk
and had to stop walking to vomit. Of course he'd be this way. He didn't eat for days and then he
goes out and drinks alcohol on an empty stomach. Right now Shuuichi was completely
defenseless. With his luck, he had to be attacked now of all times. When he couldn't protect
himself.
A tall person came up behind him and pulled Shuuichi's arms behind his back. Someone slightly
shorter came out of the dark alley behind them. "Yo, Shuuichi. Long time no see. I'm her for my
revenge." Shuuichi struggled to get out of the taller mans grip but couldn't. It was too dark out for
him to tell who the person was standing in front of him. The man pulled out a pocket knife and
held it up to Shuuichi's cheek. "What a lover you got. He ratted you out. I knew your
whereabouts because he told me. I was going to look for you at his apartment but it's much
more convenient for you to be out now. It's easier to get to you. Saves me a lot of trouble. You
could thank Eiri Yuki for what happens to you tonight." He licked his lips and forced Shuuichi
into a kiss. Shuuichi tried to break free but this only caused the man behind him to push him
onto the floor. The taller man slammed his foot into Shuuichi's stomach and held it there so he
couldn't move. "You've stopped fighting back. What's wrong?" The other man said. At this point,
Shuuichi broke down into tears yet again. "You've lost your will to live, haven't you? I guess it
means that you and that Eiri has gotten into another fight but it hurts you more that he let us
come after you instead of protecting you. 'Guess he never cared for you, heh." Shuuichi winced
at this, knowing the mans words were true. "Yuki... Doesn't care about me. I don't care what
you do to me anymore... Take your revenge on me as much as you want." Shuuichi said
between sobs, finally realizing who it was. "You giving me permission and not fighting back
takes out all the fun. But if that's the way you want it..."
Shuuichi screamed in pain as the guy stabbed him the shoulder and sliced him in random
places. Shuuichi was now lying on the cold, wet floor in a pool of his blood. "Yo, Taki, we gotta
get outa here!" A guy called from the end of the street. "Well, I guess that's all for now. But I'll
find you again, Shuichi. Be aware that I'm watching you." With that, Taki left Shuuchi to soak in
his own blood. Shuuichi wanted to cry but it hurt his chest to much because of the cuts Taki
gave him. Now, not only was it raining but it started to thunder and lightning showed. Shuuichi
struggled to get up. When he managed to get to his feet, he slowly walked back to the
apartment. 'I knew I shouldn't have left the apartment. Someone help me. I can't go on.' He
thought. Now he hoped someone he knew would be out there. He knew for sure Yuki wasn't
coming to his rescue. Yuki is the one who allowed Taki and his gang to attack him. 'That
bastard. I'll never forgive him.' Even though Yuki was gone, he still made Shuuichi suffer, but
worse than before.
When Shuuichi got back to the apartment, he saw it was all trashed. Things were missing.
Things that Yuki needed, which means Yuki came back for it while he was getting beat up. On
top of that, Yuki trashed the place, leaving the mess for him to clean. Yuki only took the things
most important to him and if he didn't come for Shuuichi and let him get hurt, obviously,
Shuuichi wasn't among Yuki's important things. Shuuichi's legs could no longer support him and
he fell face first onto the couch and brought the covers over him. The door to the apartment was
left wide opened revealing a helpless Shuuichi who was now unconscious, on the couch.
Anyone could get in and kill him. But, it seemed as though Shuuichi welcomed death. After all
that's happened, he had no reason to go on.
------------------------
When Shuuichi came to the first thing he saw were big, worried blue eyes staring at him. It was
Tohma. Shuuichi tried to sit up but winced and fell back down. He vaguely remembered the
happenings of the night before and knew why he was in so much pain. Shuuichi looked around
and saw that the apartment was cleaned up and light was shining in through the windows. He
was bandaged up and dressed in clean white pajama's. He looked at Tohma. "Shuuichi, What
happened to you?" Tohma asked him worriedly. "Why are you here, Tohma?" Shuuichi avoided
his question with a question of his own.
Flashback
Tohma walks up to Eiri's apartment and notices the door is opened. Seeing this, he runs up to
the door and pushes it further open. He comes in and sees the apartment is a wreck. "Eiri!
Shindou-san! Is anyone here?" He yells for them. No one answers. Tohma panics. Then he sees
a blood covered hand from underneath the blue covers hanging off the couch. He runs up to the
couch and pulls of the covers. "Oh my god,no. Shindou-san, Shindou-san, who did this to you?
Wake up, Shindou-san!" No answer. Tohma grabs the phone and calls the hospital. A nurse and
a doctor was immediately sent over and tended to Shuuichi's wounds. He wasn't injured badly
enough to be brought to the hospital. Luckily enough, he didn't need a blood transfusion after all
the blood loss either.
End Flashback
Shuuichi's POV
"I'm here because no one's been answering the phone and you haven't been coming to work. I
thought something happened and I was right when I came here and saw you in the condition you
were in. What exactly happened to you? Does it have something to do with Eiri?" Tohma was
looking at me with an even more worry filled expression than before. I looked away. I couldn't
face him, not when I would have to tell him about Eiri and besides that, his expression was too
painful. I would never dare think that Tohma would look at me this way. "Tohma, Yuki doesn't
care for me... At all. I thought loved me even if he didn't show it, but-" I could no longer hold back
my tears. I didn't want Tohma to see e this way. "Did Eiri do this to you?" His voice was filled
with shock. I slowly shook my head 'no' and cupped my head in my hands and continued to cry.
"In a way, he did but didn't. Taki gave me these physical wounds but what hurts most is that
Yuki let him. We got into a fight last week and he hasn't come home since. But he told Taki
where to find me and he knew what Taki was going to do but didn't care. I... Haven't heard from
him and I don't want to... I don't want to see him ever again. I'm scared... Tohma, you're not
angry at me, are you? It... Wasn't my fault..." I could no longer keep control of my voice or my
movements. The next thing I knew I was crying uncontrollably into Tohma's chest.
When I calmed down, I told Tohma everything that happened the best I could without crying. He
said that he will find Taki and have him pay for what he's done to me. Tohma is also very pissed
at Yuki but not as much as I am. He told Mika and let her know that he would be staying here to
take care of me in my time of need. I told him that it wasn't necessary because I could have Hiro
stay with me. Tohma wouldn't hear of it. He wanted to be here in case Yuki came back so that
he could protect this time and possibly get some answers from him. Right now, it didn't matter
who was with me, nothing mattered anymore.
