Chapter 11 – This is Goodbye
Karen and Shuichi are once again walking hand-in-hand on the street.
"Shuichi-kun, are we going to the amusement park today?" Karen asked.
Shuichi smile and nodded.
"We had been going out everyday since we became a couple. Are you sure you have enough time for your job and yourself?" Karen asked.
"Don't worry. I have a manager to mange everything for me so if I have something to do, he will for sure let me know." Shuichi said. "How about you? You can say no if you are busy with you own work you know."
Karen shook her head. "I am kinda on vacation right now."
"That's good. We can hang out all the time then." Shuichi said.
"Shuichi… you know after yesterday…. I had been doing a lot of thinking…" Karen said suddenly.
Shuichi turn to look at Karen. "About?"
"Us." Karen said plainly.
"What about us?" Shuichi asked.
There was a moment of silence between them.
"I will tell you when I think it's the time." Karen suddenly said cheerfully.
Shuichi stare confusedly at Karen.

-Knock Knock-
"Coming!" Hiro shouted from the kitchen.
Hiro ran to the front door and opens it, and raised an eyebrow when he saw Yuki.
"Oh, is you…" Hiro said as he eyes Yuki up and down.
Yuki was carrying four groceries bags in his hands.
"Do I even what to know what you are going to do for Shuichi this time?" Hiro said while shaking his head.
"Can I come in first? These bags aren't exactly light you know." Yuki said with a frown.
Hiro moved aside from the door to let Yuki in and closes to door afterwards. Yuki walk into the living room and put down his groceries bags.
"So… spill the beans now before I get mad and decide to kick you out. Do you even know what time it is right now? Its only 9 in the morning for God sake! You should have at least called. Look at me! I just woke up and I am still in my P.J and my hair is still a mess!" Hiro said angrily.
Yuki look towards the bedroom. "He is still sleeping isn't he?"
Hiro snorted. "Believe or not, he had already left a while ago."
Yuki blinks. "This early?"
Hiro nodded. "He said he has something important he had to do today so he needs to prepare or something."
"Important? Well… I guess it's better if he's not here anyways. Gives me time to prepare my treat for him." Yuki said.
"What do you need to prepare?" Hiro asked.
"I need your helps to help me make some strawberry shortcake." Yuki said.
"Strawberry shortcake? You… making them? FOR SHUICHI?" Hiro said unbelievingly.
Yuki smile. "You might not know this but exactly one year ago today, me and Shuichi first met at the park."
Hiro frown. "And you are actually going to make him something this year?"
Yuki nodded. "He loves strawberries and he knows that I love strawberry shortcake so he used to make them or buy them for me from time to time. I never really gave him anything before but I want to do something for him today. Maybe he will remember me after eating one of my cakes."
Hiro sighed and shook his head. "You are really getting hopeless…"
&&&
"That would be $60 for a couples' ticket please sir." The woman at the tickets booth said.
Shuichi handed her $60 and grabbed the ticket and then jogged back to where Karen was waiting.
"I got the ticket." Shuichi said.
Karen smile. "That's great. Shall we go in?"
Shuichi smile and held up his hand. Karen took Shuichi's offering hand and they walk hand-in-hand towards the entrance.
&&&
"Okay, we would need a bag of flour." Hiro said as he look at his cooking book.
"Check." Yuki said as he took out the item from the groceries.
"A bag of yellow sugar and whip cream." Hiro said.
"Check and Check." Yuki said as he took out those items.
"A pack of eggs and a carton of milk." Hiro said.
"Check and… Check." Yuki said as he took out those items.
"A bag of baking powder and last and not least, strawberries." Hiro said as he put down the book.
"Check and… what! Strawberries?" Yuki said.
Hiro roll his eyes. "How in the world can you forget to buy that? It's STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!"
"Damn, now I will have to drive to the supermarket to get them again! Don't you have any at home?" Yuki yelled at Hiro.
"Why would I suddenly have strawberries at home? Is not like we even have time to buy groceries since we are all so busy preparing for the concert!" Hiro said angrily.
"Well, buy some and put them at home next time just in case someone else needs them!" Yuki said.
"Oh my God!" Hiro shouted.
&&&
"Wow, is so big and pretty here!" Karen said as she looks around the park.
"I know." Shuichi said.
"I never knew there was a place like this here in Japan. I guess I should really go out more often." Karen said.
"I only came here once myself." Shuichi said.
Shuichi froze after he said that. 'Wait a sec… I had never been here before… Then why did I say I came here once…?'
"Really?" When and with who?" Karen asked curiously.
"With…" Shuichi stopped when Yuki's face flashed through his mind.
"Shuichi-kun?" Karen said in concern.
Shuichi snapped back to reality. "Sorry, kinda dozed off. I meant to say I came here once with… Hiro."
Karen smile. "I see."
"So… where do you want to go first? We have a lot f time." Shuichi said.
"Let's go on the roller coaster first!" Karen said as she ran towards the line.
"Wait!" Shuichi shouted as he ran after Karen.
&&&
"Okay, now we have the strawberries. Let's get going." Hiro said.
Yuki nodded.
"Grab the mixing bowl and start mixing the stuff together. Actually, please follow the instructions in the book." Hiro said.
"What are you going to do?" Yuki asked.
"God clean up of course! I still haven't change or brush my hair yet. I am sorry but I am not used to having visitors at his hour." Hiro said angrily before stomping out of the kitchen.
'Then why the hell didn't he just have gotten ready when I went to get the strawberries!' Yuki though as he stares at the guitarist's retreating back.
&&&
"Thanks for riding this roller coaster. Please watch your steps as you get out of your seats and have a wonderful day."
Shuichi quickly unbuckle his seatbelt and jumped out. Karen quickly followed.
"You okay Shuichi-kun?" Karen asked as she walks beside Shuichi.
Shuichi nodded. "I guess I couldn't take it. Now I feel sick."
"Aww… then how about we do something less exciting for a while. Um… let's go into the haunted house!" Karen said happily.
Shuichi look over to the haunted house and could see black clouds over the top of it.
"Oh shit…"
&&&
"So… how is it coming along?" Hiro asked as he walk out of the washroom with a towel around his neck.
"I think I need some help Hiro…" Yuki shouted from the kitchen.
Hiro raised an eyebrow. "What kind of help?"
Then there came a loud noise and then came a curse from Yuki.
"Do I even want to come in right now?" Hiro said.
"I won't if I were you but I think you should." Yuki said.
Hiro nervously walk over to the kitchen and look inside.
"Oh… my… God… What did you do to my kitchen?" Hiro said unbelievingly as he look around his kitchen. Bowls, egg shells and flours were everywhere.
"Um… I accidentally put a bit too much flour then needed so I decided to put more sugar and eggs but ended up adding too much as well so started trying to balance all the ingredients out again but it all messed up." Yuki explained.
"So I see…" Hiro said with a sweatdropped.
"What should I do now?" Yuki asked.
"Go grab another bowl and start all over again while I try cleaning up. This time, ask for help if you did something wrong!" Hiro said angrily.
&&&
A frightening scream could be heard throughout the haunted house. Followed by footsteps sounds and then a loud band, then some more footsteps sounds before everything finally became quiet again.
Karen laughed while walking towards a panting Shuichi.
"Hahaha, oh my God. You freaked out in there and ended up hitting your head on a coffin before running out. Wow, talk about funny." Karen said while holding her stomach. "You are killing me here Shuichi-kun."
Shuichi sent a glare at Karen. "It's not funny. I was almost scared to death back there!"
"But you were doing just fine before." Karen said.
"Ya, before the bats came out of no where and started attacking me." Shuichi said.
"Shuichi-kun, they are fake bats. Beside, they weren't even attacking you, you were in their way!" Karen said.
Shuichi blushes. "Fine! NO more haunted house! Do something else!"
Karen suddenly grinned, sending shivers down Shuichi's spine.
"Some how that grin of yours is making me really uncomfortable." Shuichi said nervously.
Karen smile. "I know! Let's do something even more exciting then the haunted house!"
"And what would that be?" Shuichi raised an eyebrow.
"Hehehehe…. The Drop Zone of course!" Karen said evilly.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
&&&
Hiro put an oven tray into the oven and turn it on high and setting the alarm for 40mins, before walking into the living room.
"Thanks for your help today." Yuki said.
Hiro just plainly nodded and took a seat next to Yuki.
"Now we only need to wait for Shuichi to come home." Yuki said.
"What time is it?" Hiro asked.
"Six." Yuki said.
Hiro nodded. "He should be back soon. Wonder where he went today."
&&&
"Thanks for bringing me here today Shuichi-kun." Karen said.
"I hope it wasn't boring today." Shuichi said.
Karen shook her head. "I had a great day today."
Shuichi smile.
"It's getting late. How about we call it a day?" Karen smile back.
Shuichi nodded. "Karen… before we go. I want to make this day even more unforgettable."
Karen gave Shuichi a confuse look. Shuichi suddenly got on his knees and turn to look at Karen.
"I know we have only known each other for a short while but all the times I spend with you would always make me happy and you are really precious to me. Would you considered spending the rest of your life with me Kasaki Karen? I will try my best to make you happy… no…. I will make you happy!" Shuichi said.
Karen stares at Shuichi shockingly. "I…"
&&&
-Ding Ding-
"It's done!" Yuki quickly grabbed the oven mitts and ran into the kitchen.
Hiro rolled his eyes. "Now you are just freaking me out here."
-Ding Dong-
Hiro look over to the front door. "That must be Shuichi."
Hiro got up and walk over to the door and opens it. Shuichi slowly walks in.
"Welcome home Shuichi. How was your day?" Hiro said.
Shuichi look up at Hiro for a moment before turning around, dropping his head to look at the floor and let his pink bangs covering his face.
"Something wrong Shuichi?" Hiro asked.
Yuki was just about to walk out from the kitchen with his cakes when he sees Shuichi and Hiro talking so he decided to stay back.
"Hiro… Remember I told you this morning I had something important to do?" Shuichi started.
Hiro noticed a crack in Shuichi's voice. "Uhuh…"
"Well… to tell you the truth… I proposed to Karen today when we went out." Shuichi finally said.
Hiro gasped. Yuki's eyes widen in surprise.
"You asked her to marry… you?" Hiro asked unbelievingly.
Shuichi faintly nodded. "But…"
Before Shuichi could finish, a loud thud came from where the kitchen was. Shuichi and Hiro turn to look at the source of the sound and saw Yuki just standing there staring blankly at Shuichi, the tray of strawberry shortcakes scattered all over the floor.
"Yuki… oh shit…" Hiro whispered.
Shuichi took at step forward towards Yuki. "Yuki…"
Yuki shook his head and took a step back. "What did I ever do to deserve this?"
With that, Yuki ran out of Hiro's apartment.
&&&
Yuki quickly ran back to his car, never considering even turning back. He just couldn't stay in there anymore; he would have gone crazy if he didn't get out of there.
Yuki pants as he slammed his car door shut and bang his head on the driving wheel.
"Today…. Today was suppose to be happy… I made Shuichi some cakes for our anniversary but he proposes to another woman… ON OUR ANIVERSARY!" Yuki said angrily.
-Ring Ring-
Yuki turn to look at his cell phone. "Why the hell can't they all just leave me alone?"
Yuki waited for a while but the phone kept ringing. Yuki finally gave up and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Yuki said angrily.
This is Tohma.
"What do you want?" Yuki asked coldly.
Oh nothing much. Me and Mika were just wondering if you would like to join us for dinner right now.
"You and your… wife… I don't want to see any kind of woman right now." Yuki said.
Something wrong Eiri?
"Tohma, listen. I want to go somewhere for awhile." Yuki said.
Where to?
"I don't know. Anywhere that isn't near Japan. I really need to get out of this place soon before I break down completely." Yuki said with a crack in his voice.
What happened Eiri?
"I want to die right now." Yuki said.
Eiri, don't even think about it!
"I have had enough of everything Tohma. I can no longer be a part of his life anymore… I am going to leave by tomorrow." Yuki said.
That's a very quick decision. Is there anything I can do for you?
"This you don't have to worry about. I can take care of thing myself. Tomorrow is the concert right? Just don't mind me; I will contact you when I get to where I want to go." Yuki said.
Yuki didn't wait for Tohma's reply and hung up.
'Shuichi, I hope you are happy with your choice. I guess this is going to be the last time I am going to see you. Thanks for everything.' Yuki thought as a single tear rolled down his cheek.
