The rest of the day Shuichi was in a much happier, and he was his normal hyper self by the end of the day. Yuki had told him at lunch to meet him back at his car when school let out. Today Yuki was going to take him to a friend of his and Shuichi was going to stay there until his parents come back. He was grateful of Yuki for all he was doing for him just so Tachi wouldn't harm him. When he bell rang to signal that it was time to go home, Shuichi raced out of the room and out of the school. Once he was out in the parking lot Shuichi stopped and looked around for Yuki's car. Shuichi realized that he didn't remember where the car was. That morning he was in such a hurry to get out of the car and away from Yuki that he wasn't paying attention to where he was. Remembering what happened between him and Yuki that morning made Shuichi's good mood turn to a depressed and confused mood. What will happen between him and Yuki now? Shuichi was finally free from Tachi and he like Yuki a lot, but something was missing. And for some reason he wanted Yuki to give Shuichi that missing something, but Shuichi didn't know what it was. What did he want? What do I want? Shuichi didn't know. When he was with Tachi he had forgotten all that he wanted and all that made him happy. It was all about what Tachi wanted and what made Tachi happy, or pay the consequences. Shuichi still had his music, which was something that Tachi could never take away. Music and singing was his life. But now that every time he was with Yuki, he wanted something but didn't know what. Shuichi suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Shuichi jumped and turned around quickly, he saw Yuki smirking down at him. "Did I scare you?" Yuki looked innocently at Shuichi.

"Yes, you did! There should be a law against people scaring others!"

"Whatever, Brat, lets go. My car is this way."

"Argh! Stop calling me a brat!" Yuki ignored him and continued to walk towards his car and Shuichi followed. They left the school Shuichi was quiet until they got all the way to town and Shuichi decided to finally say something to break the silence.

"Hey, Yuki, where are you taking me?"

"You'll see in a minute." Yuki drove for a few more minutes until he pulled over in front of a building and parked the car. Shuichi looked at the building and at the front of the store it said in big letters, NG STUDIO. (A/N: If that's not what it's called then tell me and I'll change it.) "What are we doing here?" Shuichi asked.

"My friend, well actually he's my brother-in-law. He owns this place and it's a music studio. Some the popular bands do all of their music stuff here."

"Really? What's his name? Maybe I can get him to listen to me, Hiro, and Suguru?"

"You three are a band?"

"Yep! We're called Bad Luck. We're going to be famous someday! I'll let you listen to us sometime. Anyways, how is he your whats his name?"

"Tohma Seguchi and he's married to my older sister."

"T-T-TOHMA SEGUCHI?! AS IN TOHMA SEGUCHI FROM NITTLE GRASPER?! THAT TOHMA SEGUCHI?!" Shuichi yelled.

"Will you quit yelling?" Yuki said calmly. "Yes, that Tohma Seguchi." Suddenly the door to the building open and said person stepped out. "Who was yelling…" Tohma stopped when he saw Yuki standing beside someone with pink hair? Tohma looked at Shuichi and asked, "Were you the one who was yelling my name?" Shuichi blushed adorably and looked away. "Er…sorry." He said in a low, shy voice. Tohma smiled and laughed a little before he looked at Yuki.

"Yuki, not that I'm not delighted to see you, but why are you here? You don't normally come and visit me like this. Is something wrong?" He looked suspiciously at Shuichi, but Shuichi didn't look at him. "Yes, actually. May I talk with you alone for a few minutes?"

Tohma looked slightly worried but agreed. Shuichi sat in the lounge and Yuki followed Tohma to his office.

Once they were in Tohma's office he beckoned for Yuki to sit down in the leather chair across from his desk. "What's wrong, Yuki? Does it have to do with that boy?"

Yuki nodded at Tohma. He hoped Tohma would agree to take Shuichi in for a week. Tohma had never denied Yuki anything, but he was still worried that Tohma wouldn't agree. "His name is Shuichi Shindou."

"That sounds familiar." Tohma looked thoughtful for a second, but let Yuki continue.

"I met him at my new school. You see, his parents and sister are gone on vacation for a week."

"What's the problem?" Tohma asked, frowning slightly.

"His parents left him here because of his grades in school, but they trusted him to be alone at the house for the time they are gone, they obviously don't know about his boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Tohma raised his eyebrows at Yuki. He had a bad feeling about what Yuki was going to tell him.

"Yeah. Well, actually now he's Shuichi's ex-boyfriend, but he's not too happy about it. When they were together he would beat Shuichi and try to control him, he claimed Shuichi as his, and still does, and that's the problem. He knows about Shuichi's parents leaving for a week and Shuichi being alone at his house. I knew he was going to go over there and do something to Shuichi now especially that he's piss at him. He can't seem to take a hint, even though I've already beaten the shit out of the guy once. Well, I want you to take Shuichi in for the week his parents will be gone."

"Does the kid have any friends? Why not there home?"

"Because Hiro and Suguru…"

"Suguru? Suguru Fujisaki?" Yuki looked at Tohma confused for a second before he answered him. "Yeah, how do you know him?"

"He's my cousin. Now I know where I heard 'Shuichi Shindou' from. Suguru talks about him and that other boy, Hiro, every time I see him. I believe him, Shindou, and his friend Hiro…"

"Boyfriend." Yuki interrupted.

"Excuse me?"

"Hiro is Suguru's boyfriend. They're dating now."

"Since when?"

"Since today." Yuki smirked at Tohma's dark look. He was always protective of those he cares about. He must know Suguru really well. Hmph. He must get an earful about Hiro every time he sees him. Tohma shrugged, "I guess I should've expected it. Suguru talks about the boy like there's no tomorrow. Anyway, Suguru has told me about their band a few times. Bad Luck is what they're called, I believe. I told him once they finish high school I'll listen to them play."

"Anyway, Suguru's and Hiro's house would be the first two places the bastard would look for Shuichi. So, I thought I'd take him to you. He wouldn't look for Shuichi here or your place." Yuki looked at Tohma expectantly. Tohma smiled at Yuki. Even though Yuki didn't say or let on that he did, but he could tell that Yuki really cared about this Shuichi Shindou. He was glad that Yuki had finally found someone that he was happy with. Tohma cared about his brother-in-law deeply, and he couldn't really deny Yuki anything. "Looks like I'll get to here Bad Luck play sooner then I thought." Yuki looked grateful. "So, you'll take him in?"

"Sure. Just bring Shuichi by here everyday after school, and I'll take him over to my place after work each day. I'm sure Mika wont mind. Oh, bring Suguru and this Hiro guy with you too. I'd like to meet this Hiro guy and hear them play." Yuki chuckled.

"I'd like to see this." Yuki said.

"Your welcome to stay as long as you want." Suddenly Yuki frowned and said, "You know, Tohma, this guy is just the kind of crazy that will probably stalk Shuichi and find out where he's staying." Tohma gave Yuki a comforting smile.

"Not to worry, Yuki. If this guy wants Shindou, he'll have to get through me…and K's gun." Yuki laughed at that.

"Thanks Tohma."

"No problem." Tohma smiled. He was happy for Yuki. He found someone he wants to protect.
