Chapter Eight

No Escape

Fidgeting nervously, wringing his palms and sinking lower into the plush chairs, Shuichi surmised that he had never been so scared in his entire life. His eyes looked around the room but before he could make a run for it, Yuki flopped down into his lap, grinning and kissing Shuichi's cheek.

"You're cute when you're terrified." Yuki's hands smoothed Shuichi's dishelmed hair as Chizuru watched in horror.

"What are you doing you prevent!" Chizuru couldn't bare her precious Shue-chi being harassed by Yuki any longer.

"You need to learn your place girl!" Yuki moaned moving down towards Shuichi, "mmm..." He closed his eyes a moment, feeling Yuki's lips crushing his and in that same frame of time, breathing was unimportant, then the warmth of Yuki left Shuichi longing.

Chizuru wrapped her hands around Yuki's hair and pulled back almost instantly. "Stay away from Shue-chi!" She jerked at his head and pushed him back as she headed toward Shuichi. She quickly formed tears in her eyes and embraced Shuichi's bare chest. She sobbed pathetically into him, "Shue-chi are you ok! Did that child molester hurt you sweetie!"

Yuki jumped up ready to fight at her last statement, but she scared him with a angry glare much colder than his own. "Shuichi I think its time you tell her! Tell her you have no freak in intention to care about her!" He held his fist and spoke devilishly.

"Shue-chi him you love me and only me!" Chizuru grabbed Shuichi's head and held him close to her bosom.

Shuichi looked back and forth pathetically and started to cry, "how can you make me choose! I don't know, ok!"

"Shuichi!" Yuki lost his stand and charged for Chizuru. He repelled once he saw Shuichi throw himself in front of her, protecting her. "What are you doing! Your my lover!"

Shuichi blushed, "I'm sorry Yuki...and Chizuru. Truth is I kind of like being fought over. For the first time in my life you are fighting for me, actually admitting you love me...I am more happier than I have been all my life. And I have you both to thank." Shuichi laughed shortly and walked over to Yuki. "But you've always known I could never love another when your obviously the one for me Yuki." He quickly fell at Yuki, into his arms childishly. "I love you Yuki...always have always will."

Yuki smiled proudly and drew Shuichi's lips to his. "same here." It was awkward to Chizuru to watch the man she promised her heart to and her enemy for life in a romantic embrace. Her eyes got teary quickly and she pushed Yuki away as she headed for the door.

"This isn't the end! Shuichi doesn't know what he wants yet, and I very sure!" She faced Shuichi and held his hands, "you can't tell my you didn't feel the same presence that I felt the first time we met. Right then and there a warm sensation of compassion and adoration overwhelmed me! I know you felt the same, I could see in your heart Shuichi. And everyone knows the eyes reflect the feeling of the heart." Chizuru took a deep breath and headed out, "Yuki you may have won the battle, but I will win the war!"
