Yuki stood in the elevator. They were on their way to some unknown floor seeing as how Hiro was standing in front of the pad that let

you choose the floor you wished to go to. There was no one in the elevator, but the two of them. Yuki was growing more impatient by

the minute and the fact that he was still being kept in the dark was infuriating him even further. Why couldn't Hiro just tell him and get it

over with. It was driving him crazy and he was about to bully the guitarist when he heard the little elevator bell chime and the contraption

stopped. Hiro exited the elevator car and Yuki followed him. A large sign welcomed them and it was no longer a mystery floor. Yuki was

now standing on a floor designated as the Residential Recovery Unit. This was where people who had very prolonged hospital stays

were put. Where people who had no where else to turn and who lived in the hospital for recoveries that were more than a few days.

Why would Shuichi be in a place such as this?


Hiro was counting the minutes until they arrived in that particular place. Every bone in his body was screaming for him to turn around, tell

Yuki what was really going on, and then run as far away as he could. But he didn't. He couldn't. This was going to be a big shock for his

best friend and an even bigger one for Mr. Yuki. Then he saw it. The place he was most dreading and stopped.


Hiro had stopped so abruptly that Yuki nearly bumped into him. The key word is almost. Even when his mind was somewhere else, Eiri

Yuki would rather be caught dead then have human contact with someone he, lets face it, didn't particularly like in the least. "Why did

you stop?"

"This is the place I wanted to take you, isn't that obvious?"


Yuki turned. There was Shuichi with his back turned to the window that served as a part of the wall between the hall way and the room.

Shuichi was sitting and it looked as if he was taking to a sleeping girl. An IV steadily dripped something like fluids or medication into the

girl's veins and a monitor told him that her heart was beating at a steady, normal rhythm. "So what is so special about that girl in

particular?"

"I'm not sure I should tell you even though we've come this far, it's not something to take casually."

"I want to know what's so damn important about that girl and why the hell Shuichi is sitting in there with her."


Hiro couldn't put it off any longer. The moment of truth was fast approaching. This was going to hurt someone, he just wasn't sure who.

Would it be Shuichi, who had tried to keep this a secret for 3 years in order to keep it from any press? Would it be Mr. Yuki who was

about to find out that there was a reason why Shuichi smiled all the time and who had kept this even from Mr. Yuki? Hiro took a deep

breath. "Did you notice the name on the wall?"


Yuki looked over at the wall. It said Hishio, Naomi. "What's so important about the name?" Yuki was now completely confused. Who

exactly was this girl. Then Hiro told him something to start a chain reaction.

"Hishio is Shuichi's mother's maiden name."
