Chapter 11

School Ball Disasters

Shuichi arrived at the school ball like a crumpled dry vegetable. He didn't have enough sleep because of Eiri's coldness and because of the multiple choices of wardrobe in his room. He looked around and saw that a lot of people already gathered. There were girls from the other schools, and for Shuichi, they were over dressed and face painted. Not to mention the thick make up they're wearing on their skin.

Eiri Eiri, where's Eiri? He rotated his head 360 degrees just to look for his koibito, but no luck. He wasn't even blending on the crowd.

"Curse him if he's dating someone else." He mumbled and sat on a well lighted corner and hummed to himself. Tachi's group on the other hand was busy collecting food for themselves and for their dates.

"Say, Tachi, who is that pretty girl beside you? Would you mind introducing her to us?" Ken asked.

"Yeah, I forgot." He wrapped an arm on the girl's shoulder. "Miyabi, this is Ken and Ma kun. The two of you, meet Miyabi, my younger sister." Tachi smirked.

"No kidding!" they both said. "N – nice to meet you Aizawa Miyabi!" Ma kun shook her hand.

"Buzz off. She's here for a cause." Tachi snapped and Miyabi gave a smirk resembling his brother's.

"Oooooh, so it's another one of those Aizawa operations. What are you up to, Tachi?" Ken asked.

"Just wait and see." Tachi grinned and focused his eyes on a certain pink haired brat on the corner.

"Achoo!" Shuichi sneezed and sighed. None of his friends were already there and no one was talking to him. I'm gonna die of boredom. Shuichi whined on his mind. Might as well get some food. He stood up and went to the opposite table of Tachi's group.

"Shuichi! over here!" Hiro who was wearing a red trench coat waved at him. "Hehe, what are you doing there all alone?"

"Thank goodness you're already here!" he ran to hug his friend. "Where's your date?" he wandered his eyes to look for Fujisaki.

"He's hiding somewhere." Hiro flashed a v- sign.

"Hiding somewhere huh?" he narrowed his eyes. "Have you seen Eiri?"

"Yeah, he's at the front porch talking to the principal. Seems they are fighting over something." Hiro said while grabbing some chicken strips. "Weird. They have strawberry dip for this?"

"Cool! Let me try!" Shuichi grinned and grabbed four chicken strips and buried it on the strawberry dip.

"Yuck." Hiro made a face. "That's the most yucky – beautiful –

"Huh?" Shuichi said while stuffing himself. Hiro didn't make sense.

"I said beautiful."

"What's so beautiful with chicken strips in strawberry dip?"

"Not that, silly! I meant her!" he pointed at a girl wearing a diamond tiara, and dressed with elegant maroon velvet gown. She had sharp brown eyes and long brown hair up to her waist. She blinked at the crowd, looking for someone.

"H – how do I look!" Hiro asked Shuichi and combed his red hair.

"You look nervous."

"Oh no, she's coming this way!" Hiro immediately plastered a smile while Shuichi stared at the girl while stuffing chopped vegetables with strawberry dip.

"A – ano, excuse me, but, I am looking for someone. Could you –

"Of course we will help you." Hiro grinned while his teeth shone. "I am Hiro by the way."

"Um, I am looking for Uesu –

"Yo! Shuichi." a voice greeted them.

"Ah, Tachuwa. Wang anyuhir? Wench nyor deig?" Shuichi said, or rather, asked.

"What the heck are you saying brat? Could you please swallow that radish hanging on your mouth before speaking?"

"Munch. Showri. Gulp. I was asking why you are here and where is your date, Tatsuha?" Shuichi wiped his mouth.

"Tat chan?" the girl turned around and saw the youngest Uesugi, eyes narrowed.

"Oh, if it isn't Ayaka san. Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for him." Ayaka replied.

"Oh, he's doing something else for the ball. Come with me, I'll show you to him."

"Alright. Ja, Hiro kun, Shu – chan." She bowed and went with Tatsuha.

"Ah geezer." Hiro muttered.

"I saw how you reacted." A low and warning voice said from behind.

They both looked around and saw Fujisaki.

"Ah, Fujisaki san! You look good." Shuichi smiled.

"Eh, Suguru…. I – I was just –

"Flirting." Fujisaki finished for Hiro.

"Yes! I mean, no! I'm not! I was just making friends, and well, she was asking for some help."

"Whatever. The dance starts after a few minutes." Fujisaki said and sat down.

"I'll just go get some drinks." Shuichi grinned and walked towards the table with drinks when a girl bumped into him. After that, he felt cold chills running on his pants.

"Baka!" the girl shouted that almost all the students glared at their direction. "Could you please pay attention to where you're going? You wasted my drink!" the girl gritted her teeth.

"B – but you were the one who –

"Don't make excuses punk." The girl rolled her eyes. "Clumsy." She muttered before walking away.

"Grunt." Shuichi turned to face Hiro and Fujisaki, and then the other two laughed.

"What's so funny?" Shuichi asked, losing his temper.

"You. You are funny. Look at your expensive pants!" Hiro laughed.

Shuichi looked down and gulped. He lifted his head and saw that almost all the students were looking at him, a smirk obviously painted in their faces. He covered his face and sighed. "That bitch." He said.

He looked like a grown up baby who peed his pants pink. (Wrong grammar? Please tell me) The girl's drink might have been some light pink punch or something.

"The most awaited dance will start in a minute." One of the hosts said.

"Yeah, what bad luck." Shuichi rolled his eyes and wiped his pants with tissue paper. "What will I do now? My pants are white and I have this yucky something." He made an icky face.

"Go to the wash room and do something about it." Fujisaki suggested. "That girl looks familiar though."

"Don't tell me, you've dated her before." Hiro warned.

"She looks like that girl from GTO." Shuichi said.

"No, she looks awfully familiar." He tapped his chin, thinking. "Oh yeah! She's from my batch, from another first year section. Dark blue hair and dark eyes. Miyabi Aizawa."

"Aizawa?" the other two chorused. Shuichi gritted his teeth. "I really hate him."

"Huh?" Fujisaki was confused.

"We have an Aizawa on our batch. Tachi Aizawa. They look the same, maybe they are siblings." Hiro said.

"And they have the same attitude too. Bastards." He said while trying his best to hide the wet part. "Oh, it's not working. I'll just go to the bathroom."

"Please gather around the dance floor. The music will play immediately." The host announced.

"Well, Shu, let's just meet later." Hiro waved and took Fujisaki's hand.

"Have a great time." Shuichi waved back and proceeded to the bathroom as the loud speakers filled the room.

"How will I remove this stain?" he damped a wet tissue on his pants and scowled. "Aaaaah! It made things worse! Damn that bitch!"

"Excuse, me, but you are cursing my sister." A voice said.

He turned around and it didn't surprise him to see Tachi with his usual evil smirk.

"Didn't your parents teach you manners? She's the one to blame for this and she didn't even apologize!"

"Oh, alright." Tachi knelt and looked up at Shuichi. He kicked the door to the bathroom gently, without producing a sound. One thing that Shuichi didn't know is that, the door has a self lock system.

"Why are you kneeling? The bathroom floor has over a gazillion germs!" Shuichi, being the spoiled millionaire that he is, pointed out.

"Doesn't this make you feel better? I'm apologizing for my sister." He lowered his head.

"You don't have to kneel!" Shuichi ranted. "This is a set up right? There's a camera somewhere and you will let this out in the public. People will think that I am a sadist because you are kneeling in front of me just to apologize!" Shuichi said randomly while looking for signs of a hidden gadget.

"No, there are no hidden or spy cameras in here, dolt (Shuichi glared down at him) – I mean Shuichi. This is not a set up and I'm really here to apologize for what my sister did."

"Fine. Just stand up. I forgive her so go!" Shuichi shooed him away and proceeded to wiping away his pants' stain. "Finally it's starting to wash away."

"Do you need help Shu chan?" Tachi smirked and stared at Shuichi's long eyelashes and glistening purple orbs. He was still kneeling in front of him.

"No, just stand up and go away. I'll be finished here in minute, besides, I'm still gonna look for someone."

Tachi gritted his teeth. He squatted, so his head is in line with Shuichi's belly. He reached for Shuichi's waist and aimed for his belt.

"Damnit! What are you doing – hey!" Shuichi shouted as Tachi began unbuckling his belt. "Stay away from me pervert!"

"What? I'm going to help you with that mess. Don't be shy." Tachi's evil grin broadened and in an instant, Shuichi's pants fell on the floor, revealing his yellow thongs. Tachi tried his best not to laugh his head off.

"AAAAAAh! There's a pervert in this bathroom!" Shuichi tried to squeal for help, but to no avail, the bathroom door was too thick. He slammed his knuckles on the door, his back facing Tachi, which, by the way, Tachi finds intriguing.

"You really have a nice butt Shuichi." Tachi grabbed one cheek and the brat froze.

Tachi's other hand was unbuttoning Shuichi's expensive coat as his lips found warmth on Shuichi's neck.

"You smell nice." Tachi licked the brat's neck and his hand proceeded in removing Shuichi's thongs.

"No!" Shuichi whined, his hand trembling, but all the while stopping the lazy eyes'.

"Don't resist me brat, or I'll fucking destroy that Eiri's name."

"You won't do a thing to Eiri!"

"Of course I won't, but only if you'll let me do this." He pinned Shuichi arms on the wall, while his other hand was successful in reaching Shuichi's thing. He began to fumble it until Shuichi sobbed hysterically.

Outside the bathroom, Ma kun and Ken were doing their duty as Tachi's security, glancing at different corners to make sure that no one would enter the bathroom.

"What's taking him so long?"Ma kun whispered.

"Don't know." Ken replied, a little bored. "Hey, isn't that -

Back inside, Tachi was hardly controlling himself, and was starting to enjoy Shuichi. The real plan was just to scare the shit out of the brat by touching him. But a realization crossed the Aizawa guy.

He wanted Shuichi to be his doll.

"Tachi! Please! Let me go!" Shuichi was crying as he was on all fours, while Tachi was on his back, pants down.

"Shut up." Tachi commanded and inserted a finger on Shuichi's mouth and after removing it, he inserted it to the brat's portal.

Shuichi flinched and bit his lip. This wasn't how he wanted the ball to be. He just wanted to spend some time with Eiri, and maybe dance with him.

What has gotten into this Aizawa guy? Why is he trying to do this to me? And what does he mean by destroying Eiri's name!

Shuichi tried to escape, but the other was stronger than him. "Don't make me angry Shuichi, or I'll make you bleed!"

Shuichi, who now only had a tank top on curled his hands into a fist as Tachi prepared his manhood. He positioned Shuichi to sit on his stomach when he heard a loud thud on the floor.

"Shit." He muttered and put on his pants to stop his agenda. He made a quick glare at Shuichi, who was scared as a chicken. He bent down and squeezed the brat's face rudely.

"Listen Shuichi, you will not tell anybody – as in anybody, including Eiri or that Hiroshi about what happened today, ok? If you cry to them, I'm going to make life miserable for you and Eiri. I mean it, and you don't want to test my patience and screw Uesugi's life forever, right?"

Shuichi nodded, his cheeks were clawed by Tachi's fingernails, and his whole body was freezing to death.

"Good. It's nice to know you're cooperating." Tachi said and pulled Shuichi by the head, giving him a kiss, and a bite on the lips.

"Ow!" Shuichi cried some more and another loud thud was heard from outside.

"See ya." Tachi raised an eyebrow and exited the bathroom. Ma kun and Ken greeted him with annoyed faces.

"What took you so long?" Ma kun reprimanded.

"I was just having fun. Who came?"

"It was the principal. We immediately kicked the door for you to exit, but why are you not responding!" Ken asked.

"Sorry, it's my fault, I was having a little chat with Shuichi. Anyway, let's go?"

And the three of them blended with the dancing crowd.

Shuichi cried by himself inside the bathroom. How many minutes have passed? What is Eiri doing right now? Is Fujisaki and Hiro having a good time? He thought. He wiped his tears, washed his face and put his clothes back on. He combed his hair so no one would ask him why he looked too wasted.

He peeked a little to get a view of the dance floor, it had dim lights, but having those cat eyes, he could see clearly who was dating who. He exited the bathroom and ran to the dark balcony to relieve his pain.

Tears fell down again as he was traumatized by what happened earlier. He was there by himself, while the whole school was dancing sweetly with their partners. He sat on the ground while the lights illuminated a little part of the balcony, he remains unnoticed because of the large red curtains hanging on the open doors. He sighed and sniffed, hoping for Eiri to come and find him there.

Maybe an hour had passed, there were still no signs of his koibito, or Hiro or Fujisaki and he was starting to feel depressed and bored.

He hummed a tune and he immediately proceeded to singing.

Furidashita totsuzen no ame ni sekasareru akuseru

omae no inai baiku no se ni shigamitsuiteru kodoku

kami sae mo yurusanai ai ni

futari miserareteta

ore ni wakare tsugeru mae ni

joushiki nante sutero yo

shin'nyuufukinshi no kiken na kono koi ni

oretachi mou ichido dake

onaji yume, kaketemiyou ze!

The whole music died down in order to be replaced by another track, but the whole crowd heard some singing siren, whose voice was melting into them. Hiro stopped swaying with Fujisaki as the two of them were trying to figure out whose voice was it.

"Hiro, don't tell me that's –

"Yeah, it's his voice." Hiro said.

I've NO STYLE! saigo no I've NO STYLE! rakuen

kuchizuke de mezameru

There's nothing you can not do jounetsu no mama ni

Don't turn your back on it now tobu no sa

There's nothing you can not do ato modori wa shinai

Don't turn your back on it now...

"Where's that coming from?" Tachi wandered his eyes to look for the owner of the voice. All the students were doing the same, locating the powerful voice which struck their party. Even the dj stopped his hands from replacing the sounds.

"Sounds familiar." Tatsuha said.

(insert song)

There were murmurs everywhere, producing buzzing sounds which Shuichi didn't seem to hear. All that he knows is that, he was singing to his heart's content. Muffled footsteps approached the balcony, swaying the large red curtains to fame.

"I didn't know you can sing that great, Shu – chan." A warm greeting surprised him.

The singing stopped, bringing back the students to reality. The dj placed another cd and it started to play a slow dance.

"S – sensei? What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same. What are you doing here Shu – chan?"

"Sakuma sensei, I – I was just getting some fresh air, and, well, my partner for the dance is not yet here." Shu chan lowered his head.

"I heard you sing. It was fantastic. You are fantastic." Ryuichi complimented and sat beside him. "I'm really glad you joined the music club, but I don't want you to be singled out here. Why not try and make new friends out there?"

"I would really love to, but I'm not in the mood right now. So I jut sat here and sing. How about you? Why are you here?"

"Well, I heard you and I was wondering who owned the voice. By the way, there would be a band launch – a competition that is held yearly. It would be a competition with all the schools here in Tokyo, and two bands will represent the school. Would you like to join? I mean you could get two or more people as band mates."

Shuichi fell silent for a moment. Having a band and being a vocalist was his major dream aside from marrying Eiri. And this interschool competition is the greatest stepping stone to fame. He stared at the star filled sky and saw himself signing while millions of students were clapping and cheering for him at the Tokyo dome –

"Shu chan? Are you alright?" Ryuichi waved.

"Ah, gomen, sensei. Y – yes, I would like to try out for the competition. I'll tell my friends about it." He smiled to his mouth's extent and his eyes glittered brightly like the stars.

"Very well, Shu chan." Ryuichi tapped him. "Then, I should go back to the party now. Would you like to come with me?" he stood up and extended his hand to Shuichi.

Shuichi nodded and he reached for his teacher's hand. Ryuichi swayed the red curtains and stepped out of the balcony with his newly found talent.

"Ryuichi, where have you been? I was looking all over the place for you!"

"K! sorry, I was just helping some student out." Ryuichi pointed at Shuichi, who bowed down at the other teacher.

"Oh, it's Shindou san!" K grinned and patted Shu's hair multiple times. "Please excuse me, I have to talk to Ryuichi." K pointed his gun at the brat and immediately, Shuichi backed away from them.

"I – I'll just see you on Monday, sensei." He saluted and with that, he blended with the dancing crowd.

He spotted Hiro's red hair but decide not to interrupt the two swinging lovers. Fujisaki looks content with his partner and so was Hiro.

"I'll just tell about the competition on Monday." Shuichi grinned and squeezed himself in the crowded place, looking for signs of Eiri. The music stopped and was replaced by a slower beat, indicating that it was time for the major dance.

"Eiri, where the heck are you?" he became nervous for himself and for Eiri. What if Eiri was looking for him in the other direction? what if they didn't find one another? Surely, the ball will be a disaster. So, he turned around at the opposite direction, but the first person that he saw was Tachi, dancing with some other woman. He decided it was best not to go near him because of what he attempted to do earlier. he shook his head. This is not the time for worries. He thought and continued his search.

"Hey, watch where you're going brat!" a girl hissed as Shuichi accidentally steeped on her foot.

"Sorry!" Shuichi panicked as others glared at his direction for disturbing their dance. Geez Eiri, where are you?

And as if on cue, he saw the familiar height and blonde hair he was looking for. Eiri wore a white prince – like coat with maroon lining which looked great on him. Everything looks good on him. Shuichi wondered and smiled. He stepped forward, nearing Eiri's back, hoping to surprise the blonde with a back ride, but, to his dismay, he was the surprised one. He saw arms around Eiri's neck, and Eiri's arms were wrapped around an unfamiliar waist.

He backed out a little, ignoring the voices of disturbed couples behind him. He focused intently on the girl dancing with his koi. She was pretty, and wore exactly the same dress like the girl Tatsuha introduce to him earlier. Shit. He cursed on his mind.

It was Ayaka, smiling shyly at the man in front of him. Eiri's back was facing Shuichi, and the latter was biting his lower lip to the point that it was bleeding again.

Ayaka swayed a little to the left, getting a view of the people around her. He immediately saw Shuichi's pink locks and smiled at him.

"Oh, Shu chan! Where's your partner?" Ayaka greeted and he froze.

Eiri turned around and indeed, he saw Shuichi teary eyed and looking miserable.

"Well, Ayaka san, my partner is dancing with somebody else." Shuichi said darkly and glared at Eiri, darting nasty looks at the blonde's golden eyes.

"Oh, that's bad." Ayaka sympathized, her arms, still on the blonde's shoulder. "Eiri, do you know him?" she asked.

Eiri opened his mouth to say something but it was left hanging open as Shuichi was the first to speak.

"Yes, I know him, Ayaka san. He's a classmate of mine." He emphasized the words he and mine. "Well, sorry to interrupt your precious dance. I'll go now, Ayaka and Uesugi – san." He said bitterly and ran away.

"Is he a friend of yours Eiri? I think he has an attitude problem." They started swinging again, with Ayaka leading him to dance. Eiri on the other hand was just staring at Shuichi's fading back.

"Eiri?"

"Ayaka chan, I have to tell you something." Eiri stopped dancing and placed his hands on his pockets.

"Jerk! Bastard! Pervert! Homo!" Shuichi screamed on top of his lungs once he was out of school grounds. He searched for his cellphone and called the driver to fetch him.

"Yes, this is Shuichi, please pick me up now."

"I thought you said you'll be fetched around 12am? It's still 10pm, master."

"Dummy, just follow what I'm saying, I'm not feeling well." Shuichi tried to hide a sob. "Drive as fast as you can." He commanded then turned off his cellphone.

"WHY ARE THERE SO MANY INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE!" Shuichi screamed much louder and rain stated to fall. He kicked the stones that were on his way and cursed every single drop of rain.

"It's wrong to blame your heartaches to nature, Shuichi." a voice said.

He turned around and saw Eiri. No it wasn't Eiri, but a black haired version of him.

"Hah! Why are you here? And who are you to blame me for cursing?" Shuichi sarcastically said. His whole expensive and elegant wardrobe was dripping wet.

"Baka! Don't take a bath in the rain!" Tatsuha said and stepped forward to share his umbrella, but Shuichi threw a rock on him, which he dodged easily.

'That was dangerous Shuichi." Tatsuha's voice started to get low.

"Don't come near me!" Shuichi shouted. "Your brother is such a jerk! He played with my feelings! How could he! Why did he do that to me! Of all people, why me! Why Tatsuha? I hate him!" Shuichi's voice was almost husky. He punched the ground, that his knuckles started to bleed, but was easily washed away by the rain. His tears kept unnoticed.

"Before you blame my brother, would you listen, punk?" Tatsuha scratched his head. "Ayaka is not his girlfriend. Our dad set this whole thing up. He wants Eiri and Ayaka to get married when they graduate and –

"Yeah. Great. Ayaka is not his girlfriend, but his fiancé. Great. Really great." Shuichi stood up and wiped his tears. "So from the start he knew that he was going to be married and he played with me. What a geezer!"

"Hush Shuichi, I know how you feel." Tatsuha said soothingly, but all the while he was losing his patience.

"Feel? You don't have any idea how I feel Tatsuha! He hurt my feelings! He hurt me so much to the point that I can't breathe at all – to the point that I can't feel myself anymore! Do you want to know what I'm feeling now? I feel used, betrayed and slapped in the face with embarrassment and stupidity. I'm a normal person but I can't believe I fell in love with a guy! He tricked me into doing 'it' with him! I trusted him – I believed him! Why? (he cried) Why did he do that?" he began to sob uncontrollably as the real Eiri ran to where he and Tatsuha were.

Shuichi noticed the new presence and once again wiped his tears. He stood bravely as a car parked behind him. He looked Eiri directly at his piercing eyes and spat on the ground.

"So, this is your way of a fun game huh, Uesugi?" he said and opened the door to the car. "It was nice playing with you." And with that, the car zoomed toward their mansion.

Eiri slapped his head in disappointment and cursed while a hand tapped his back.

"I tried to tell him bro, but he wasn't listening. Just talk to him at school?" Tatsuha said and gave Eiri his umbrella, while walking back inside the school party.

"Shit." Was all that Eiri said.

The first person that Tatsuha saw was Ayaka, with a look of dismay on her face. He sat beside her and grabbed drinks for both of them.

"Is that true Tatsuha? About that Shindou…. Is he really with a relationship with that kid!"

"Dunno, brother has so many toys that I don't know which one is his favorite. Tatsuha sipped his drink.

"I can't believe this." Ayaka muttered and turned his hands to a fist. "What if our parents –

"That you shouldn't tell, lady. Our old man had enough of brother's shit. If you tell him, he might die of heart attack, do you understand?"

"Stop kidding Tat, I know your dad doesn't have a heart disease! It's so unfair!" Tatsuha bit his lip.

"What's so unfair? I told you, Eiri has so many toys to choose from, maybe Shuichi is his newest doll. And what's the point of telling it to the old man?"

"If he knows, then he'll ask the principal to kick Shuichi out of this school!"

"Tsk tsk, you are thinking only for your own happiness lady. Sure, the principal is related to us, but mind you, he cannot simply kick Shuichi out. Believe it or not, the kid is a zillionaire. He invested half of the school funds."

Ayaka fell silent. There's no way she can be insecure with a kid – a guy for that matter. But why was she feeling something unusual?

"Master Shu, are you alright?" the driver took side glances at the brat. He was shivering slightly and crying uncontrollably.

"Yes, I'm fine, just don't tell mom about this ok?" Shuichi hiccupped and the driver nodded, afterward, he drove silently.

I hate you now Eiri. You don't know how much you've hurt me. Why did you that? He clutched his heart. But, I'm most angry to myself. Why did I believe him that easily? Stupid feelings!

Once the driver parked the car, he went up to his bathroom to take a hot bath. He released all his tensions, worries, stress and pain in that hot tub and drank his sleeping pills. He went to his bed with only his boxers on and succumbed to a long sleep.

Meanwhile, the driver made an important phone call.

and that concludes chapter 11
