Eiri poured himself a cup of beer after that round of yelling at Shuichi. It may look like he really doesn't care about Shuichi, but he does. The great Yuki Eiri just doesn't want to admit to the fact that he is getting soft towards the pink-haired brat.

'Dammit! Why the hell did I just do what I did?!' thought Eiri as he slammed hi cup on the counter after taking a drink.

"That girl… I must find her as soon as possible or else my heart will never be at peace!" Eiri growled. Little did he know, Shuichi was standing quietly behind the wall listening to every word.

During Bad Luck's recording the next day, K noticed that he shot little rounds today. He also noticed that Shuichi was giving it his all with a very determined and serious look on his face. Hiroshi and Suguru noticed it too and Sakano was in tears to finally see that Bad Luck is finally doing their job correctly like how they are supposed to. After the recording was done, Suguru popped a question pertaining to Shuichi's newfound determination.

"Shindou-san, why do you suddenly have this determination? You never had it before so we usually don't get much done." said the skeptical pianist. "But today, we got 3 songs done!"

"Is that really such a surprise to you, Fujisaki?" asked Shuichi. "I can be serious when I want."

"Then be serious all the time!" exclaimed K.

"As long as we get something done I'm happy." cried Sakano.

"OK! Break time!" shouted K as he shot a few rounds through the ceiling.

During their break, Hiro confronted Shuichi. Hiro knew that something must be wrong with Shuichi because this wasn't like his normal happy-go-lucky self. "Want to tell me what's up, Shu?" asked Hiro, handing him a can of orange juice.

Shuichi took the can of juice and thanked him. He sighed and replied, "Nothing in particular, Hiro."

"I'm guessing it has to do with Yuki-san?"

"Wow… how'd you guess?" asked Shuichi sarcastically.

"What'd he do this time?" asked Hiro, taking position as if he was Shuichi's counselor.

"Well…" Shuichi started as he lay on the sofa preparing to tell Hiroshi his troubles. "Yesterday when Yuki was done yelling at me, he went to the kitchen to drink. I was kind of worried so I went to check up on him. Then I accidentally overheard him talking to himself saying that his heart won't be able to rest until he finds the girl from his childhood."

"Yes… yes… I see… please continue." Hiro stated.

"Um… I'm done."

"Oh… sorry, Shu. I was so into the role of being a psychology counselor." said Hiro. "Anyway… moving on… what do you want to do for Yuki-san, Shuichi?"

"What I want to do?" asked Shuichi. "I want to help Yuki find this mysterious girl."

"So you can punch her lights out?" Hiro joked.

"No… but that's a good suggestion. I'll take that as Plan B." said Shuichi.

"But are you sure you want to help Yuki-san find her? What if he chooses her over you? This is his chance to go back to being straight and he has been in love with her since his childhood days." said Hiroshi. "I just don't want to see you hurt."

A small smile came on Shuichi's face. "Thanks for worrying about me, Hiro. But… I won't let my Yuki be taken away by some bimbo girl whom he hasn't seen since childhood. I'm his present and future. Screw the past. He got over Yuki Kitazawa, so he can get over his childhood love." Shuichi stated.

"You say you want to find this mysterious girl…"

"Yeah…"

"But how are you supposed to find her? Yuki-san hasn't seen her ever since, right?"

Just then K walked back into the studio with his AK-47 hoisted on his right shoulder. He actually waltzed in right when Shuichi said, "Silly Hiro… that is where K-san comes into play."

K turned to look at Shuichi with a surprised face. "Say what?" said K.
