Chapter 1 - Farewell

4 months later...

As light blue eyes open, his senses also coming back to hear a machine beeping. His vision was getting clearer to only see white. His head turns to see a pink bunny. All around the room 'Get well cards' and roses. He stretches out his arm to get his bunny Kumagoro. After grabbing the bunny his body began to feel nome and fell back asleep.

Later...

This time when he opened his eyes his vision was set on a girl with purple hair. He knew who it was Noriko.

He opened his mouth "Noriko" his voice was very weak but loud enough to be heard. He got control of his right arm and moved to pet Noriko's hair.

This time it was Noriko's eyes that opened. She had fallen asleep hoping that today it be the day that her dear friends would wake up. As she started to move she felt someone patting her head. She stood up to see Ryuichi up. "Ryuichi!" She yelled in happiness. She went to hug him but after she realized he was still weak well for now anyway she moved and asked how he was. "Fine." Then Ryuichi fell back asleep. Noriko went outside and called Tohma and the others.

Noriko quickly dialed Tohma's cell.

"Hello Tohma Seguichi speaking."

"Tohma it's Noriko, Listen I need you to call everyone Ryuichi woke up! But now he went back to sleep. The doctors said it was normal that he should wake up later."

"All right that's a relief."

"Then I'll see you here then?"

"Yes, let me just call the others."

"Okay so bye."

On the other side...

Tohma was so happy to hear that Ryuichi finally woke up. It had been 4 months since that terrible day. He barley remembered anything after he woke up. What he did remember about that day was when the cars started to hit his. Then the door flew out and if it wasn't for Shuichi he would have flown out with the door. He remembered the look in Shu's eyes as he let go of him, as if telling Tohma to live on for him that look. After he fell out of the car he remembered the fall that knocked him unconscious.

Minutes later he woke up to see a crash the first thing he thought was to get an ambulance. He went to get his phone but it wasn't there. He was going to run to them but then his world went black. "Shuichi." He woke up a week later to find out that Ryuichi was in a coma and that there was no sign of Shuichi. They said that after the car landed to it exploded and that Shuichi was probably in there. When they got to the car the fire was burned out and they found Shuichi bracelet. When everyone left the room he started crying silent tears.

As the trip to memory lane ended a single a tear fell down his face. After he got out of the hospital he was told that the police were unable to find who did this. That seriously pissed of Tohma, his friend yes friend after the elevator incident he had been getting along better with Shuichi. But now he has to tell the others Ryuichi woke up.

Less then half an hour everyone was at the hospital except a novelist that refused to come out of his study. Tohma was the first one to arrive with Mika then K, followed on by Sakano, Hiro, Suguru, and Tashuta.

They all entered Ryuichi's room together and their he sat on the bed with Noriko next to him.

When Ryuichi noticed them he gave them a happy smile. After all the crying, welcome back's, great your all right and happy smiles he noticed that someone was missing. He raised his hands calling for attention and looked at Tohma " Tohma where's Shu-chan?" That simple question made all of theirs smiles drop and sadness filled there eyes. " Ryuichi when the ambulance came they only found our bodies, Shuichi's was nowhere in sight." Tohma said as his eyes saddened more. Mika went to Tohma and held his hand and then continued "The police think that when the car exploded he was in the car and his body burned up with the car they only found his bracelet in the car." Hiro unable to control himself started crying as K held him. Suguru already did his share of water works the day he got the news. " No" Ryuichi said while the others stared at him. "NO, no HE WASN'T IN THE CAR WHEN IT EXPLODED! I heard him calling me and I woke up he was crawling toward me without worry for his injuries, GOT DAMMIT HE WAS COVERED IN BLOOD AND looked so awful but he was very much alive, HE TOLD ME ALL 3 OF US WERE GOING TO GET OUT ALIVE! he's not dead, he's not dead ...he's not dead." he continued to repeat as tears formed in his eyes and shaking his head no. "Ryuichi calm down."

"NO TOHMA! you didn't see him, he was covered in blood but he didn't care all he cared was my well-being, when i called out his name he gave me a smile, as he was crawling toward me he told me everything was going to be okay and that ALL OF US! would come out all right and what did I do I fall unconscious!" more tears formed in his eyes. "I should have died Tohma, if he wouldn't have saved me he would have been alive now." Tohma and K were trying to calm down when Hiro spoke softy with a small smile but loud enough to be heard as his head was down his hair covering his face "So he did that huh?" all heads turn toward him. "Such a baka, never worrying about himself always putting others feelings, health before his, always helping out those who need it, always giving a smile even when he's hurt, always, never caring about himself." as he looked up everyone saw him with tears falling down his face "You know that's why I promised myself to protect him cause I knew him better then anyone, I knew when he wanted to help someone he would do whatever he could to help them without caring what happened to himself." he looked up at the ceiling tear still coming out of his eyes. "So I would care for him, give him words of encouragement so he would pursue what he believed in and I was always there to help him bounce back in happy land as usual." He stopped and then faced Ryuichi. "I believe Shu was happy to save you. Don't throw his sacrifice away like it was nothing, you were his friend and if Shu saved you life, live every day happy to know that you're friend cared more about you're life then his, live on for his the sake of his memory and show others the happiness Shu shared with you." After that Hiro turned around heading out the door he turned around and smiled "His funeral would be next week, please come and pay your final respects to him he'll be happy you came." and then he left. The others still looked surprised at him.

As he headed down the streets of Tokyo. Looking up at the moon holding his hand up " Right Shuichi, I will continue to live for you my best friend, I shall keep the promise we made when we were kids. Even now and forever I will miss you're smile and even your whinnying." he gave a small laugh as tears yet again found there way down his face. "Even if there is a possibility of you being alive, I'll be waiting for you to return to us our shining star and if you really are dead I expect to see you when my time comes, and no matter what you would remain in my heart for I love you my best friend forever right? It's a promise." His tears continue on falling

"I'll make sure no one greves on your death, we all love you though some may not show it but I'll make sure everyone moves on but forget you we will not do for you shine even when your gone." He brought his hand up to his face and whipped away his tears. 'Time to see a certain novelist'

Back at the hospital...

Ryuichi still looked at the door letting what Hiro said sink in, he was right I should live on happy to know my friend cared a lot about me to give up his life for me. As he looked at k he smiled and spoke up at the silent room.

"Well, you guys better leave, I need to get my energy back so I and Kuma-chan can say good bye to Shu next week okay?"

"Are you sure?" Tohma asked worriedly

"Yes."

They all left leaving Ryuichi alone.

Ryuichi looked up at the moon raising his hand. "Ne, Shuichi you'll see, I promise you I live every day to the fullest for you may have not known but you were one of my best friends and I love you Shu-chan."

He fell asleep peacefully.

Should I end it there?

Nah, I'll give you some more Kisa kay?

Hiro stood outside of the famous Yuki Eiri household. So far after the novelist heard of Shuichi so call death he's been locked in his study knocking on the door for 3 minutes still nothing he knocked the door down. AS looked around and he found the study locked.

"Yuki-san?"

no answer

"Listen Yuki-san I know you're there please answer."

no answer, Hiro was still waiting when he finally opened the door "What do you want Nakano?"

"I wanted to inform you that Shuichi's funeral will be next week, and I know Shu would like it if you came."

"He's dead he can't make me do anything."

"Shut up you're going to pay you're respects to him, even if I drag you there myself."

"Why?"

"Shu loved you more then anything in this world, Listen I don't like you at all IM doing this for Shu he would probably haunt my afterlife if I didn't help you anyway."

Yuki just smirked

"That stupid brat had to go and get himself killed, it's my fault he listened to what I said for once."

"Huh?"

"I told him to die before he left and the baka went and did it."

"Idiot why did he go and get himself killed?" a few tears ran down his face

"Listen you don't like me and I don't like you but when going to have to move on."

"Well maybe you don't care any-" he was backed away to the wall by Hiro

"Shut up how dare you say I don't care! Shu was and still is my best friend and yes I miss him like hell but I know Shu wouldn't want me to give up on live because of him! He gave you love and happiness and now that his gone you can't let your life end move on with it and I don't mean forget about Shu. I know you loved him even if you never said it once, live for his sake at least. Don't wallow in self pity and live on. And if you dare to even think about killing yourself don't you ever dare to think about Shu again! Live on for his sake, don't let him cry again even in his afterlife. Be proud that he loved you more than anything don't you dare give up. I hope to see you next week at his funeral.

Next week...

Everyone was at Shindou's Shuichi funeral. There was his family, mother, daughter and his father. His friends, and fans.

They all sat there as the priest spoke

"On this day we bit farewell to one of gods children Shindou Shuichi. We pray for his soul to rest in peace. Many in life wish to live out there dream before their deaths. Shindou Shuichi lived to do his dream of being able to sing but unfortunately his time came before his was able to finished his dream. May his voice continue to inspire others. And now a word from his family."

Mr. Shindou was the first to stand "What can I say, I loved my son very much, I remember how he used to say he was born to sing, he was a special person nothing took his spirit down. My son was a fighter till the end."

Next Mrs. Shindou stood up "Well what can I say about my baby boy? Yes, and even when he grew older he continued to be my baby, he was full of life and never gave up."

Maiko stood up "My brother was so full of life. No matter how upset he was at me he would always forgive me. He loved to live. I remember when he told me he'd fallen in love with Yuki-sensei, he was so happy and me to he had that ability to make anyone happy. I miss him so much I want him back." Maiko started to break down and cry. Mr. Shindou and his wife held her.

Relatives started to cry. Then Hiro stood up to speak "Shuichi was my best friend we shared everything, I was always there for him and he was there for me. I miss very much but I'll move on like he would have want me to. He would always think of others before himself. He was a special person and anyone who met him would agree. He was able to live out his dreams that made him so happy. Good-bye Shuichi," he went and laid a Sakura petal with a rose on his tomb. The others went and did the same. All throughout the cemetery people crying as the coffin was being buried. Everyone not one face dry.

As people left one remained the known as Eiri Yuki. "I miss you Shu-chan and I love you, I wish I would have been able to say it to you before you left. I'll live on for you I promise.
