Chapter 6: It's finally over

I was planning to write this as soon as possible right after I had posted chapter 5, but… things didn't go the way as I had planned. School started like 4 months ago and I got TONS of homework, so the chances of a new story being posted very soon would be slim. I have the idea for the next story, however, and I wanted to try making a rated M one so look out for it.

Also, thanks for those who reviewed chapter 1-5! XD They really make me happy and want to continue this story even though my time is limited. Well, enough of me talking… I hope this chapter clears up your guesses that you've all been trying to figure out. Some of you may have already guessed it on the dot and some of you may be very close… XD

Disclaimer: I don't own it… As always.

Previously on Eiri's Childhood Princess…

Shuichi took the sheet and scanned it himself. His eyes grew big, and then he had a worried look on his face. "No way… This can't be…"

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Hiroshi looked at Shuichi curiously, as did Suguru. "What is it, Shuichi?" Hiro asked.

K chuckled. "Are you surprised at how many people we have to search through? I don't think Yuki-san would come with us to actually tell us if it is really her. We have to just match it up."

Shuichi places the sheet on the table next to him. "It isn't because of the amount of people that are on the list, K-san." said Shuichi. "It's because… Maiko is on it."

Hiroshi was shocked. "Maiko is on that list?"

"Yeah… see for yourself." said Shuichi as he handed Hiro the paper.

"Who's Maiko?" Suguru asked curiously.

"Maiko is Shuichi's younger sister." replied Hiro as he took the paper from Shuichi and looked through each of the names until he came upon Maiko's name. "Seriously?" Hiro stated. "K-san, is your spyware machine thing malfunctioned or something?"

"No. Why would it be? It's from the CIA. This device is one of the best in America!" K explained.

"Wow, K-san… you must have connections with the president of the United States also." said Suguru.

"No…" K said suspiciously as he looked away.

"At any rate, it's already late. We should just start searching tomorrow." Hiroshi suggested.

"I can ask Maiko tonight." said Shuichi. "But I really think that it isn't Maiko."

"Or maybe that's what you don't want… If she really is Yuki-san's childhood crush." Suguru muttered.

"You say something, Fujisaki?" asked Shuichi.

"No…" said Suguru.

"Oh. Ok then." Shuichi smiled.

"Ok. Here's what we'll do. We can split the list between all four of us. We'll all take tomorrow off to work on this and on the next day we come back, we discuss our findings. Is that clear?" K suggested.

"What about Sakano-san?" ask Shuichi, pouting. "He just left when the list was done, so he won't know that we won't be here tomorrow. He doesn't even help. All he cares about is producing albums."

"That's because it is his job, Shindou- san." Suguru explained.

Just then, a familiar melody rang throughout the room. Everyone in the room knew who it was that was calling and who it was for. That's because it is Shuichi's cell phone and that specific melody is for Yuki and only Yuki.

"Yuki!!" exclaimed Shuichi as he answered the phone. "Did you call because you missed me?"

"Who would miss you, brat?" said Eiri. "I'm just calling to ask you why you are so late coming home."

"Oh. Well… I think we are finished now." said Shuichi.

"Then come out. I've been waiting for an hour now. Don't make me wait any longer or else you're walking on your own." said Eiri. "And I don't care if you get raped on your way home."

Shuichi gasped. "Really, Yuki? You've been waiting for me?" Completely ignoring the second part of Eiri's statement.

"Why the hell would I wait for you?" Eiri scoffed.

"But… But… you just said that you were waiting for me." stated a confused Shuichi.

"Stupid brat... Now are you coming down or what? You have 10 seconds to come down. 10…9…8…7…"

A huge gust of wind blew, rattling Eiri's car windows. "What the fuck was that?!" asked Eiri.

"I'm here, Yuki!!!" exclaimed a cheerful pop singer.

Eiri stared at Shuichi, surprise and baffled as to how Shuichi came down in 4 seconds. His cigarette was about to fall from the corner of his mouth, but he regained his composure back. He took one last look at Shuichi. "Freak." Eiri stated bluntly, and then drove off.

"HEY!!! WAIT FOR ME, YUKI!!!!!!!" shouted Shuichi, running at 50 mph after Yuki's car.

Eiri sighed. He stopped the car and backed up, backing up into Shuichi, thus colliding with the rear of the car, falling flat on his back. The car, however, kept its gear in rear, completely missing Shuichi as it rolled past him. Eiri then stopped the car and got out. He walked over to Shuichi. "Get up, brat. I don't have time to wait for you to finish playing around." said Eiri. "At least you didn't get hit in some place "important."

A bloody nosed Shuichi stood up, clutching his abdomen, moaning in pain.

"I wasn't playing around, Yuki! Is having sex all you ever think about?!" Shuichi yelled. "Thanks to you, I fucking saw my entire life flash before my eyes!"

"No shit. You're welcome, brat." Eiri stated. "Now get in the car."

"I'm starting to even wonder if you really do love me…" Shuichi mumbled.

"What was that?" asked Eiri, pretending to have never heard Shuichi say that.

"What are you going to do once we find the girl, Eiri?" Shuichi asked, changing the subject.

"I may turn her down. Who knows? It depends on how she looks, her curves, bust, hips, waist…" Eiri listed.

"Yuki!!" Shuichi whined.

"I'm just kidding." said Eiri. "Just get in the car already. It's freezing, stupid Shuichi."

"Ok…" Shuichi sighed as he got in the car.

'Who am I to kid? Eiri has dated many women before meeting me, so why am I worried about a mysterious unknown girl? All that matters is the present. I just hope that it isn't Maiko. That would be devastating for me…' thought Shuichi as he leaned back onto the chair, slowly falling asleep.

As they drove back home, many thoughts ran through Eiri's mind. One thought in particular annoyed him very much. 'I'm starting to even wonder if you really do love me…' Why would he say this? Oh, how stupid of me. Why would I even ask this myself? I am the root of this problem. I really truly love Shuichi, but how do I show it? God damn it! I must show him once and for all how much I love him.' Eiri thought.

When they arrived home, Eiri tried to wake Shuichi up so that he can walk himself up. Shuichi stirred but didn't wake up at all. 'Trying to find that girl for me must have tired him out.' Eiri thought. 'And it's all on my account.'

He scooped Shuichi into his arms and carried him up to their home. By the time Eiri placed Shuichi on the bed, his arms felt like they were about to break. Shuichi may not look like he's heavy, but if one had to carry him from the bottom floor of the building to the top floors then he feels very heavy. Eiri looked at Shuichi's sleeping face and smiled.

'He looks cute when he is sleeping…' thought Eiri. 'God… what am I thinking? I don't even deserve to have Shuichi by my side. All those horrible things that I say and do, excluding the mind-blowing sex that we have, hurt him deeply.'

Eiri shook the thought out of his head. He then changed into his pajamas and slipped into the bed with Shuichi.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Morning came and the bedroom was filled with light. Shuichi woke up, with the warm sunlight coming in through the window shining at his face. "Uhn…" Shuichi yawned. He looked over at the sleeping beauty besides him and smiles warmly, thanking the heavens that Yuki had taken the night to actually sleep besides him, instead of typing in the study.

'Oh that's right! I have to call Maiko and ask "that thing".' Shuichi thought. He quietly got out of bed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went to the living room to call Maiko.

He dialed in the number and waited for the other side to pick up. Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring.

"Moshi moshi?" answered a sleepy voice.

"Maiko! It's Shuichi." Shuichi replied in a soft voice, not wanting to wake Yuki up.

"Onii-chan? Is that you?" she asked, her voice more awake now.

"Yeah, it's me. Listen, I know that this question that I'm about to ask is totally random, but…" said Shuichi. "Remember when you were younger? Did you ever see a blond haired boy with hazel eyes?"

"No… why?" Maiko asked. "And why are you describing Yuki Eiri?"

Shuichi's eyes went wide. "How'd you know I was describing Yuki?" he asked. "I never said that it was him."

"You did now." She pointed out.

Shuichi sighed. "What I'm trying to ask of you, Maiko, is if you will be able to help me find a girl that may have possibly been from our childhood; now that you've told me that you aren't the girl."

"Hmm… well… how long ago has it been? Since Yuki-san last saw her, I mean." Maiko asked.

"I think he said 11 years." Shuichi replied.

"11 years…that was when he was in New York, right?" asked Maiko.

"How would you know that?" Shuichi asked.

"You told me yourself." Maiko stated. "Don't you remember the time when you told me everything about Yuki-san and his past?"

"No…"

"That was like a few years ago, so you probably don't remember." Maiko said. "Anyways, if Yuki-san was in New York 11 years ago, it could possibly be one of my friends that I made when we were there as children. It's a rare possibility though. I still have the photo scrapbook."

"You do? That's great. Bring it over and we'll look over it together. I don't have work today so it's ok." said Shuichi.

"Ok. I'll be there in an hour."

"See you, Maiko."

"See you, Onii-chan."

Shuichi placed the phone back in its original place, hoping that his phone call had not wakened Yuki. It didn't. He breathed a sigh of relief. 'Hopefully this will be the end of my intense search. If it is one of Maiko's American friends, then it would be hard for Yuki to confess to her because she's overseas. If she is here in Japan, I don't know what I will do. My last resort is to completely get rid of her, possibly tarnishing Bad Luck's reputation and mine.' Shuichi thought.

An hour later, Maiko arrives. Eiri had woken up before she came and is currently in his study typing his novel. Maiko had brought a very large scrapbook with her and placed it on the floor. Shuichi and Maiko sat down on the floor and started to look through the pictures.

Minutes had gone by and loud laughter broke through the apartment. Eiri stood up from his computer and went out to where Maiko and Shuichi were. He saw them laughing and rolling on the floor.

"What the hell are you doing?" Eiri demanded.

"Yuki-san!" Maiko exclaimed, excited to see her most favorite author. "We were just looking through our old photos. We are also looking to see if the girl that you crushed on 11 years ago is in any of the photos in this scrapbook."

"What picture were you laughing at?" he asked.

"This one." Maiko stated as she took the scrapbook to show Eiri. "It's a picture of Onii-chan." She said with a smile.

"No!!! Yuki, don't look at it!! It's ugly!!" Shuichi protested.

Eiri took the scrapbook into his hands and looked at the picture that Maiko was pointing out. His eyes scanned the picture and went big. He was shocked at what he saw.

"Where… was this picture taken?" Eiri asked.

"Um… I think it was at New York." Maiko replied. "You see, our mother is a fashion designer and she was doing some business in New York because of it. We were there for a few months then went back to Japan."

"It's ugly isn't it?" Shuichi asked Eiri. "That was when mom wanted me to model for her. She said that my features fit the image that she had. I'm starting to think that whatever she designed was designed specifically with my features."

"Now you protest about being dressed in drag." Maiko stated.

"Well I didn't know any better back then!" exclaimed Shuichi.

"And you still don't know any better in the present." Said Maiko.

Shuichi ignored her and faced Yuki. "Ano… Yuki? Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Shuichi… you…" Eiri started to say. "You should stop searching."

"What? Why?" asked Shuichi.

"Because I know who she is." Eiri explained.

Shuichi was still confused, as was Maiko. "I don't understand what you mean, Yuki." said Shuichi.

Eiri placed the scrapbook on the floor, with it still open to the page that he was looking at. He then looked into Shuichi's eyes at Shuichi's level. "Shuichi, the girl that I was crushing on 11 years ago… is you." He explained calmly.

"HUH?!" exclaimed both Maiko and Shuichi.

"You see…" Eiri started, as he showed Shuichi the picture of him in a pink Lolita outfit, short strawberry-red hair with streaks of black highlights, standing in a hotel lobby, "This picture of you… the girl that you were supposed to find was wearing this outfit 11 years ago. I saw you playing the sandbox in the park. I was going to ask you your name, but your mother took you home before I could get any words out."

"How come I don't remember any of this?" asked Shuichi.

"Well, you know what they say; it's hard to remember things as you get older." Maiko joked.

"Are you sure about this, Yuki?"

"Positive." He replied with a smile.

"OH MY GOD!! YUKI-SAN SMILED!! DAMN IT!! I WISH I HAD BROUGHT MY CAMERA!!" Maiko screamed.

Eiri laughs. "You really are like siblings. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Maiko notices her behavior and becomes embarrassed. Eiri was smiling, but his smile soon turned to a frown.

"Wait… if my first crush, before Kitazawa, was Shuichi dressed as a girl, but he was actually a guy, then… does that mean that I was gay all along?" Eiri questioned.

"You tell me, Yuki." said Shuichi.

"I guess this is a happy ending after all." said Maiko.

"Yeah, I didn't have to kill anyone to have Yuki to myself." Shuichi chuckled. "Does that mean that I have to kill myself?" Shuichi asked with wide eyes.

"Baka." Eiri stated. "Why would you kill yourself now that you know that you can have me for yourself?"

Shuichi smiled. "I won't. I'm not that stupid, you know. I love you, Yuki."

"Love you too, brat." Eiri said with a smile.

"And I love you both." said Maiko, smiling a very devilish smile. "Now… about those autographs… I need 100 of them from each of you so I can sell them for cash."

Shuichi and Eiri looked at each other. The same thought ran through their mind. 'Have we just stepped into hell?' The answer… Yes.

The End!!!

Yay! I'm finally done with this story. As I promised, it is longer than the others. It sure took me a long while, but I am going to start on the next fic soon… I hope. Anyhoo… another reason why I took long on this last chapter was because of Twilight. I was very engrossed with the series that I totally forgot to work on this fic when I did have free time. I've only just started reading the Twilight series a few days ago. Well, I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this story! Look out for my next fic! I don't know the title of it yet, but just look out for it. XD Thanks for all those reviewers! You guys really make my day. See you guys soon (hopefully) in my next story!
