Well, I updated twice in one day! You should all be greatful! I had to spend another two hours on this! But I couldn't leave you guys hanging... I know you all want to know what the heck is going on with Yuki. Sorry for the confusion about the BIG EVENT! I made a note in the 4th chapter that the BIG EVENT wouldn't come until the 6th chapter. Some of you missed it, which is understandable. Well, this is Yuki and Tohma's side of the story. In hope you like it! D I worked hard on it! Oh, and thank you all my precious reviewers! -bows- I'm glad so many people like my story! Some people are so into the story that you demanded me to update! I never thought anyone would care about my stories that much. -smiles- Well, here's the chapter you've all been waiting for! And to avoid further confusion, always read my author notes! They are sometimes really important! Oh, and I think this is my longest chapter yet! It's over 2000 words without the A/N! I feel so proud of myself! I think my reviewers have made me a better write! Yayness!

Chapter 6: The Awaited Prince
Yuki Eiri looked at his watch with dismay. He growled. It was 7AM. Yuki saw his plane arrive and he walked over to it. He was standing in the airport.
Many people were talking, in all sorts of languages. Yuki could only understand a few conversations, but he didn't care anyways. He wasn't interested in someone else's love life at the moment. His golden eyes could pierce through anything. He was pissed. Okay, so he was actually worried, but we'll say he's pissed so he doesn't kill me!
Why was he worried, I mean pissed? Well, it all started out like this (this is a flashback!):
Yuki Eiri packed his suitcase in the bedroom. He put his clothes, his laptop and some snacks in it and frowned. He zipped up the suitcase and carried it to the door. He started his way to the kitchen.
Yuki grabbed a piece of paper and then grabbed a pen. He put the paper on the table and started writing. He finished it quickly with rather neat handwriting.It read:
Dear Shuichi,
Shuichi, I won't be back for a week or less. Mika and my stupid father want me to come down and take over for Tatsuha. See, Tatsuha, my idiot brother, wants to go to one of Ryuichi's concerts. He said that he isn't gonna do his job ever again if he doesn't get to see the concert. (You know how he is) So, sadly, I was forced to do it. I'll be back ASAP. Call me on my cell if you're confused or want to know when exactly I'll be back.
Yuki
Yuki put the piece of paper on the table. 'I hope the brat doesn't call seventy times while I'm gone' Yuki thought. 'He probably will anyways….' Yuki reread the note, making sure he hadn't left out anything of importance.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Yuki groaned. He walked over to the door and growled. He hated when people came to his house. It was annoying, especially since it was mostly someone in his family. He didn't like his family trying to get into his life and business. He didn't need their talking-tos. He could handle himself.
"Who is it?" Yuki barked. He glared at the door and slowly opened it.
"Why brother, I'm hurt" Tohma joked. He stepped inside the house. Yuki growled.
"What are you doing here?" Yuki demanded. Tohma sighed and shrugged. He was wearing his fancy outfit with the fluffy thing. It was like he was out to impress everyone!
"Am I not allowed to visit my brother-in-law?" Tohmajoked with a smile.
"No, but I don't like it" Yuki hissed. "So, why are you here?" Tohma looked at the suitcase and frowned.
"Well, as I said, I was only coming to visit you, Eiri" Tohma said. He pointed to the suitcase. "Where are you going?" Yuki merely laughed.
"Didn't Mika tell you?" Yuki asked. Tohma shook his head with confusion. "Well, Tatsuha decided that a Ryuichi concert was more important than his job. He isn't gonna be there for a few days, so Mika and my father asked me if I could take over for him."
"And you accepted?" Tohma asked with disbelief. Yuki sighed.
"Yeah, because I don't want to hear my sister whine anymore" Yuki said. "She begged me for hours, even after I hung up the phone! I had to get her to shut up somehow!" Tohma chuckled softly.
"Yes, Mika does have her way of getting people to do things…" Tohma said. He smiled at Yuki. "When are you leaving?"
"Now" Yuki stated. He looked at his watch. "I have to be there in….oh no! Darn! I thought it was earlier!" Yuki grabbed his bags and began to run out the door, with Tohma still inside. He groaned and stepped backwards.
"Eiri, I'll lock up for you" Tohma assured his brother-in-law. Yuki nodded angrily. He muttered a quick "thanks" before he ran down the stairs. Tohma's eyes gleamed.
Tohma wandered through the apartment for a few minutes, examining his brother-in-law's apartment. Then, something caught his eye. It was a note on the kitchen counter. Tohma walked over to it and read it through. It was a note adressed to Shuichi.
Then, Tohma came up with a brilliant idea. 'If I throw this note out, Shuichi won't know where Eiri went…' Tohma thought. 'And to make that even better, if I tell Shuichi that Eiri ran back to New York, he'll be devastated. I'll tell him that I found a blood stain in his house…. And then Shuichi will be guilty…. He'll definitely leave because he doesn't want to hurt Eiri…. Oh, this is too perfect! Eiri will finally be free from that brat!'
Tohma snatched the note and locked up the apartment. He smirked as he walked down the stairs, tearing up the note. 'This is too perfect' he thought. 'Eiri will think that Shuichi abandoned him and give up on the brat…'
Tohma traveled to NG studios and went searching through the halls for a certain pink-haired singer. Once he saw him, Tohma put on an angry face.
"Mr. Shindou" Tohma breathed. Shuichi turned around. He looked very happy. 'That will all change' Tohma thought. He motioned for Shuichi to follow him. "Come to my office." Shuichi nodded and followed his president into the room. He looked a bit worried.
Tohma sat down in his chair and Shuichi sat down in the chair in front of his desk, after being asked to sit down by Tohma. Shuichi looked around anxiously. Tohma smirked for a second, and then regained his angry face. He glared at Shuichi. Shuichi looked as white as a ghost.
"Shindou-san, I have very bad news" Tohma said angrily. "And I believe you are the cause." Shuichi gulped. "It's about Eiri." With that, Shuichi became even more shocked.
"W-what?" Shuichi stuttered.
"Yuki left to New York again" Tohma explained. He stared at Shuichi. "And I found blood in his apartment." Shuichi froze.
"W-why?" Shuichi croaked.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with you" Tohma said with a glare. "After all, you're the one who caused him to leave the first time."
"B-but what did I do?" Shuichi whimpered. Tohma couldn't help but feel pleasure in the boy's anxiety.
"You probably stressed him out" Tohma hissed. "After all, you do that to him a lot."
"I-I…" Shuichi cried. He stopped talking. He was speechless.
"I do hope you fix this" Tohma said. "Even if it kills you. I don't care if you have to leave his apartment, but I don't want him leaving EVER AGAIN." After Tohma gave Shuichi a few minutes to let that sink in, he continued. "You may leave now." Tohma felt so pleased. He thought he had done a great dead.
Shuichi nodded and exited the room, tears forming in his eyes.Tohma smirked from behind the boy. Everything was going according to plan….
Meanwhile, Yuki arrived in Kyoto. He grumbled angrily as he knocked on the door to his father's house. A few minutes later, his said father opened the door.
"Ah, Eiri!" he cried. "I'm so glad you came! We didn't know what to do when Tatsuha said he had to leave!"
"Liar" Yuki breathed. "You knew that I was going to come. That's why you let Tatsuha off the hook so easily. You knew that Mika would finally drive me crazy and get me to come here."
"Eiri!" his father shouted. "How could you think such a thing?" Yuki groaned.
"You do things like that all the time" Yuki reminded his idiot father.
"Like what?" his father demanded.
"Like when you tried to force me to marry Ayaka" Yuki muttered. His father ignored that comment and led his son inside.
"You do know what to do, son, right?" his father asked. He and Yuki walked into the temple. Yuki nodded angrily. 'How could I not?' he thought.
"Don't expect me to do this again" he growled. His father chuckled nervously and continued walking to the temple.
"Yes, yes" his father said. "Now, here are your robes." His father handed Yuki a magenta robe that he got from a hanger in the temple. The temple itself was highly decorated and looked quite nice. There was a large,hand-carved statue of Buddha in the center.Yuki nodded and walked to the bathroom to change.
When he returned, his father was waiting for him. The two of them sat down and started praying, waiting for people to come to the temple.
'This is going to be a long day' Yuki thought sadly. It was a bore fest at its worst. That was certain. Barely any people came, and the work was extremely boring. 'I bet the brat misses me already…' His thoughts focused on his lover, Shuichi, and what was happening to him. 'Maybe he's pacing back and forth, waiting for me to answer his call.
Hours later, Yuki finally got a break. He quickly went to his suitcase and grabbed his cell phone. He looked through it to see if Shuichi called. Nope. No one called him, not even Shuichi. Yuki's brow raised in suspicion.
'Why didn't Shuichi call?' he thought to himself. 'He didn't really understand, did he? And if he did, I know he'd want to know when exactly I'd get back… This makes no sense…'
"Eiri!" his father called. Yuki groaned. "Break time is over! We have some visitors!" Yuki sighed.
"I'm coming!" he snapped. He walked back to the temple with disappointment. Luckily, his father didn't notice. That would've been horrible.
Yuki greeted the guests. They were neighbors that Yuki could onlyvaguely remember. Theyseemed nice,and very religious.Yuki thanked Buddha that it wasn't Ayaka and her family. Then, Yuki would've been really pissed. He was mad enough as it was because Shuichi hadn't called. If his father tried to force Ayaka on him, Yuki would've left right there and then.
Three days later, Yuki was finally packing up to leave. He had checked his cell phone numerous times, but still got no calls from Shuichi. It worried him greatly. Even though he'd never admit it, he cared for his baka very much. And, knowing his baka so well, Yuki had a feeling something was very wrong. he was very good at hiding his feelings, so even his father didn't notice.
'I can't call him' Yuki told himself. He was losing his own battle. 'Then I'll drop my cold hearted exterior! I cannot let him see me worry! Oh no! No, no, no!' Yuki growled at himself.
'But what if something is wrong?' his conscious asked him. Yuki growled.
'There's nothing wrong!' Yuki yelled back.
'Then why hasn't he called?' his conscious demanded.
'He was probably busy at work!' Yuki hissed. 'He is a rock star after all!'
'But you always came before work, Yuki' his conscious told him. 'What makes now any different?' Yuki ignored his conscious and finished packing.
Then, he stormed down to the airport, his suitcase and all. He didn't even bother to tell his father goodbye. He was worried sick, but he would NEVER tell Shuichi that.
Now, Yuki boarded his plane and sat down anxiously. He didn't even look at the lady sitting next to him, who was a rather pretty blonde. At the moment, all that mattered was getting back to Shuichi, his lover. He checked his watch several times, waiting impatiently for the plane to start flying. 'I have to see Shuichi as soon as possible!' Yuki told himself. He stirred in his seat.
'I bet he'll be happy when he sees me though... Man, why does that brat make me worry so much?' Yuki groaned and turned on his laptop. He tried to write another chapter of his story, but his mind was clouded with thoughts of his pink-haired baka. He eventually gave up and turned his laptop off entirely. The plane began flying towards Japan, and Yuki was very relieved. He looked out the window, worrying about his lover. He knew that Shuichi would've called if nothing was wrong.
'I hope nothing bad happened to him' Yuki thought. He sighed and waited to arrive in Japan, rather impatiently. He asked the lady who served him how long it was going to be until they arrived every five minutes. She kindly said the estimated time.The last time he asked, the lady said they wouldarrive in two hours.Yuki was beyong worried, way beyong worried. He had to see Shuichi, soon. He tried to calm himself down, or tell himself that Shuichi was okay, but he failed. Shuichi was just too important to him.
