Chapter Twenty-three:
The wind blowing through his dark hair, Koichi sped along the road on his motorcycle, his frustration showing through his recklessness—just twenty minutes ago he arrived at Ta-chi's apartment to find it empty. Completely. His shock grew to anger each second he waited in the apartment—he waited for five minutes before he decided to check Ta-chi's other place.
He'd only been there once before, and Ta-chi had told him never to look for him there—but Koichi needed Ta-chi; he had no one else to turn to. The drive to Ta-chi's other apartment took eight minutes, (normally twenty, but Koichi sped the whole way), and the teen sighed in relief when he saw a car parked in the space reserved for Ta-chi's apartment.
Then he took a closer inspection of the car, and realized it wasn't Ta-chi's…he recognized it however.
'Holy shit…that's Seguchi's….' Koichi gaped, and sped off on his motorcycle without looking back. 'Of all the times…what's Seguchi doing at Ta-chi's?'
"And why is the apartment Ta-chi and I shared empty?" Koichi growled as he sped down the road, oblivious to everything around him. "That fucking prick, did he ditch me?" The dark haired teen recalled the last vacation break the school had—he had to stay at school because Ta-chi canceled their rendezvous and wouldn't give a reason.
'If he did ditch me, I swear he won't live to regret it.'

"Ah, C'mon K, just once let me use your gun. I mean that prick hurt Ryuu-chan, let me shoot him, c'mon!" Tatsuha pulled on the American's arm impatiently.
"Tatsuha, you already beat him half to death—he probably will die soon if he doesn't get to the hospital." K looked behind him where an unconscious Taki lay all bloody and bruised.
"But I want to shoot him! C'mon!"
"Tatsuha…."
"OH!" Tatsuha's eyes lit up, "I could just use his own gun—I can shoot him and make it look like a suicide!"
"And how would him being bruised and bloody be explained? Besides, do you know how to effectively make a death look like suicide?"
"Well I think I saw something in a movie once…."
"…."

Sitting beside Toya's bed in the nurse's office, Shinichi stared at his cousin who had just fallen asleep a few minutes before.
"Toya, why did this have to happen?" 'I don't think I can leave Koichi alone like you said, I want to kill that bastard—maybe if he was the only one, but he wasn't, he let others do the same thing to you…'
"Shini?" He heard a voice call him from the doorway, and he quickly looked up at the familiarity of it.
"Dad." He stared as the blond, light brown-eyed novelist stepped into the room, remaining still from surprise until the older man took a few steps closer to him.
"Shinichi…."
Suddenly the blond teen flew at his dad, wrapping his arms around him and trembling as tears fell down his cheeks.
"Dad…why…." Shinichi sobbed and shivered. "It's…it's my fault…I…Koichi was able to get to Toya 'cause Toya was high and drunk last night….I…." Shinichi held tighter to his dad as he remembered the night before. "I knew Toya was high last night but I left him…and he….he…."
"Shinichi, it is not your fault."
"I'm older than him, I should've protected him…I…." Shinichi chewed on his lip as more tears rushed down his cheeks. Then he looked up at his dad's face. "I…While that was happening to Toya, I was laughing about him with Kessuke…I….I was laughing about him when he….dad, I…."
"None of it's your fault." The novelist wrapped his arm around the blond teen, and let him cry silently against his chest.
A/N: End Chapter. I've been thinking about writing a fanfic about a character in the manga only—Yoshiki Kitazawa, (Yuki Kitazawa's younger brother who basically got a sex-change) or maybe I should try to bring him/her into this fic—what do you readers think? Most fanfics are only about the characters in the Anime, so I think I should focus some on the characters most people overlook—namely the manga characters.
