Chapter 7:
I FEEL YOU CREEPING, I CAN SEE IT FROM A SHADOW WANNA JUMP IN MY LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO MAYBE GO TO MY PLACE AND JUST KICK IT LIKE TAEBO AND POSSIBLY BEND YOU OVER LOOK BACK AND WATCH ME SMACK THAT ALL ON THE FLOOR SMACK THAT GIVE ME SOME MORE SMACK THAT TILL YOU GET SORE SMACK THAT OOOOOHOHOHOHOHHHH
Shuichi's eyes shot open when he heard that tune playing.
'Ah, my cell phone...' he thought groggily, pushing himself up. He looked down and noticed Ryuichi's head in his lap. 'Ah, Ryu-chan is sleeping so peacefully...I don't wanna wake him up.'
SMACK THAT ALL ON THE FLOOR SMACK THAT GIVE ME SOME MORE SMACK THAT TILL YOU GET SORE SMACK THAT OOOOOHOHOHOHOHHHH
Shuichi, decided to get his phone. He gently scooted over and layed Ryuichi's head down without even bothering the sleeping beauty. With a smile he turned to the kitchen and pull his phone out of his pocket. It was Seguchi Tohma.
Shuichi flipped the phone open, put it to his ear, and said nervously, "Hello?"
"Ah, good you are awake, Shindo-san. I have a few things I want to talk to you about. Would you mind coming into work early so I could have a talk with you?"
"Uh..." Shuichi knew much better than to turn down an order from Seguchi. No matter how innocent he sounds, he is an extremely powerful and malicious person who goes to the ends of the earth to get what he wants. "Yeah, sure."
"Good. I expect to see you in my office at 9 o'clock sharp. Feel free to bring Ryuichi with you, too." Click.
Shuichi stared at his phone in awe. Did Tohma know about him and Ryuichi? Tohma did have his connections, but they were far from going public with being together. Shuichi shook his head closing his phone and replacing it in his pocket.
----------------------------
"Yes, I see. Thank you, Hikaru. Please keep me updated." Tohma hung up the phone, turned and smiled to a giddy, literally-bouncing-in-his-seat Ryuichi, and a timid Shuichi. "Sorry about that. It was Hikaru. He was updating me on Eiri-san's condition."
"What's wrong with Yuki?!" Shuichi asked a milisecond after Tohma finished his sentence.
Tohma wasn't effected at all by the sudden outburst, but Ryuichi was. He looked down at the floor for a minute before looking back up at Shuichi.
'I have to show him some support. After all, he was really attactched to Eiri...I just have to show him that I am with him all the way.'
Tohma gave Shuichi a long stare before closing his eyes and propping his elbows on his desk and resting his head on his hands. Shuichi was leaned forward in his chair, hands gripping the armrests so tight his knuckles were red.
"I'll get to that. First off, I want to ask why you didn't show up for work last night."
Shuichi felt guilt sweep over him. He had forgotten all about coming into work last night; he was so caught up with Ryuichi.
"AH, I'm so sorry, Seguchi-san, it's all my fault! I completely lost track of time and forgot all about it!"
"I can understand. You were out with Ryuichi, after all. He keeps you busy." he said with a small grin to Ryuichi who grinned back. "I do give you credit for not feeding me some excuse. I am proud of that, Shindo-san."
Shuichi nodded, inside himself urging Tohma to get to the point so he could tell him about Yuki.
"Secondly, I am aware of yours and Eiri-san's break-up. I am also aware of yours and Ryuichi's getting together."
"Oh, Tohma-kun, how you do know all these things, na no da!" Ryuichi said hugging Kumagoro close to him, admiration shining in his eyes to his former band mate.
Tohma smiled at Ryuichi (no one can resist Ryuichi drools) before turning back to Shuichi, a more serious look in his eye. "I do not approve of Eiri-san's cheating on you. But, I do think that the two of you's seperation is a good thing."
"A good thing?"
"You were slacking off of work. One of my rules and best theories is your career would be better if you put your feelings into the lyrics and the music, and leave it there. We don't need the drama interrupting your job, do you understand?"
Shuichi nodded slowly.
"Good. You and Eiri spliting will help prevent this from getting in the way of your job. Here there is nothing more important than your job. What happens out there," Tohma pointed out the window, "stays out there."
Both Ryuichi and Shuichi nodded.
"That also means you two," he now pointed at the two men seated in front of him, "will keep your relationship out there. Here, you can recognize each other, but absolutely no getting in the way of work. Understand?"
The two singers nodded.
"Good. Now, on to Eiri-san."
Shuichi felt Ryuichi gently grab his hand. Shuichi turned his head to him and saw Ryuichi gently smiling at him, as if telling him it will be okay, that he had him there by his side all the way. Shuichi felt himself smile back. Ryuichi really was sweet...and so supportive.
"Hikaru says that he came to Eiri's apartment last night and found his passed out on the floor. He took him to bed and later that night Hikaru says Eiri's body had become cold and his veins began to show in sime erie green color. He also tells me that on his way out to take Eiri to the hospital he found a bottle of Yuki's anti-depressants and they were empty."
"They weren't supposed to be refilled for another month!" Shuichi interrupted. Tohma held his hand up to quiet him.
"Alongside the empty bottle of meds was an empty bottle of liquor."
"Yuki tried to kill himself?" Shuichi said in a small voice.
Tohma nodded his head sadly, looking at his desk. "And he was close to succeeding, too. Luckily, Hikaru got him to the hospital in time.
Shuichi sunk into his seat. Yuki tried to kill himself...This couldn't be happening...
"But, he is okay now. He is in stable condition. They had to pump out his stomach, but otherwise he is fine. He is resting."
Shuichi felt somewhat relieved. Ryuichi still held on to his hand. Shuichi gripped it tighter to assure Ryuichi that he was ok.
"I am going to see Eiri tonight. Is there anything you might want me to say to him for you?"
"Uh..." Shuichi was hoping that he could go see Yuki himself, but he thought better of it. He knew he was probably hurting Ryuichi enough by worrying about Yuki, and it would hurt him even more to go see him. He didn't want that. He shook his head to Tohma, who nodded in return.
"Very well. You are dismissed Shindo-san, Ryuichi."
"Bye bye, Tohma-kun!" Ryuichi waved, though some of his enthusiasm was fake. He was sad for Shuichi. It was like he felt his pain.
The two left Tohma's office and started walking downstairs to the studio that Bad Luck was working in.
"K-san is going to shoot me, because I didn't show up for work last night." Shuichi said with a sigh.
"Ah, it will be ok. I'm sure he won't actually SHOOT you, just shoot AT you." Ryuichi said with a grin. "Eh, na no da?"
Shuichi grinned and chuckled. "Yeah." he said. "We'll see. When I come back home with 3 million bullet holes, then you'll know who did it."
Ryuichi giggled. "Shu-chan would be like Swiss cheese."
"Eww!!" Shuichi said making Ryuichi laugh.
"You're funny, Shu-chan." Ryuichi said poking Shuichi's stomach making him twitch.
"Ah, that tickles!"
Ryuichi blushed. Shuichi felt his spirits lift. Ryuichi knew just how to make him feel better without doing anything at all.
"Hey, come to work with me today. You can help us with getting our release together."
"OKAY!"
------------------------------
Yuki waited until everyone but Hikaru was out of the hospital room before opening his eyes. He never was asleep.
"Ah, Yuki-kun, you're awake." Hikaru's face darkened at the sad look in Yuki's eye. "Did Shindo drive you to this?"
"No." Yuki answered. "More like myself. I felt bad."
"For what? What have you done wrong?"
"What have I done wrong? Well, cheating on Shuichi for one. I should have ended it a lot sooner with that kid. I didn't think it would matter as much as it does."
"Yuki, what are you saying? Did you develope some feelings for that kid?" Hikaru said, shock in his voice. "I thought you said you loved me and me alone."
"And I do love you." Yuki said. "I just feel bad."
"Bad enough to die?"
"I am a bad person, Hikaru."
Hikaru looked down at this. He knew Yuki was talking about killing Kitazawa. Truthfully, he didn't approve of that, but he was trying to put that aside. He wanted nothing more than to make it work with Yuki, but he didn't know just how much of Yuki getting caught in his past he could take.
"You took the whole bottle of your medications." Hikaru said sadly. "You haven't been taking them before that, have you?"
"They don't work anyway."
Hikaru knew that this was a lie. He thought the pills worked great. Yuki was a little more bouncy when he took them. Maybe that's why he didn't take them at all, anymore.
"I don't like this, Yuki."
"I'll be fine."
"Yuki..."
He stared at the blonde who was now staring out the window.
'Shuichi...I just wish I could apologize to your face. That way maybe I can push this aside and start my life with Hikaru, and you can start yours with Ryuichi...even though some part of me wishes otherwise...
---------------------------------
Tatsuha paced outside of Ryuichi's house. Back and forth, back and forth, thinking of a plan..a plan to get back at Shuichi. So far nothing came to mind. Shuichi was suprising hard to get to when you thought about it. He was rarely alone.
"ARGH! Is there nothing I can do?"
Tatsuha had thought of everything, even repeating Taki Aizawa's act..but he quickly thought better of it, considering what Yuki did to Ma. Tatsuha knew that he would be shit-canned the very same way, and not just by his brother, either.
Suddenly, his mind formed and idea...go for Shuichi's weakness.
(A/N): Another chapter down! I need some advice! Do you think Shuichi and Yuki should get back together, or stay with Ryuichi? I need some advice for later chapters. PLEASE REVIEW!
