Last Hope
Ryuichi was shocked at the answer the boy gave.
'How did he find out? Why of all people it had to be Eiri's brother? What am I going to do now? How can I explain myself out of this…?'
Just when Ryuichi was about to say the world's most unlikely reason, the elevator bell rang. 'What now…?'
Chapter2 – Last Hope
Tohma and Noriko were happily chatting when they came out of the elevator. They immediately stopped when they saw Ryuichi and Tatsuha.
The silent tension in the air floated around until Noriko broke it.
"Tatsuha-chan! What are you doing here? Don't tell me you've come here to get another of Ryu-chan's autograph?" Noriko couldn't help but tease the young raven.
"Haha, not really." Tatsuha politely answered back with a smile, carefully hiding any expression from the conversation before, so Tohma wouldn't be suspicious. He hated it when Tohma was right in front of his face, asking all kinds of questions, from sex life to what he had for breakfast.
Ryuichi was glad that Noriko didn't notice anything, but he knew that Tohma most likely had already noticed the minute he saw them. Even though he didn't say anything, but Tohma was giving Ryuichi the 'You'd-Better-Spit-It-Out-Later' stare. Ryuichi quietly played with his bunny, trying his best not to meet Tohma's eyes. He felt relieved that Tohma had stopped staring at him.
"Tatsuha, what are you doing here?" Tohma asked Tatsuha in a very angry voice. "Didn't I say you're not allowed here? Yuki won't bail you out when you get caught by security, and I won't either."
The mention of that name made Ryuichi tensed up again. This time, Tohma was very sure what was going on. He'll make Ryuichi spill it out in the car.
"Oh, I forgot about that. But you can't blame me, I left my bike keys with you, so I came over to get them back." Tatsuha coolly answered, ignoring the threatening voice Tohma had used.
"Here. Now leave before I call security." Tatsuha caught the set of keys and murmured thanks before leaving the basement. As he passed by Tohma, Tohma whispered softly to Tatsuha so Noriko or Ryuichi won't hear.
"You'd better not be taking any chances you'll regret later. It's all over, you can't change him anymore."
"I'll take those chances, and I will change him, even if it takes me forever."
"Damn brat, I'll make you stop."
"Try me." Tatsuha said back with a smirk.
Tohma didn't reply. He knew Tatsuha was serious, but he was too. He would never admit it, but he was sometimes afraid of the serious Tatsuha. The eyes, the expression on his face, everything, it just screamed danger. 'I will not let you, Tatsuha Uesugi.'
When the elevator door closed, Tohma saw that Ryuichi and Noriko were playing a small game with their hands. Even though Ryuichi was laughing and acting like his usual self, but he was still 'acting'. A few people only knew this 'act' of Ryuichi. Outsiders who found out were to be secretly annihilated. Fortunately, the ones who knew were only Tohma, K and…Tatsuha.
Tatsuha wasn't considered as an 'outsider', even though Tohma hated his guts. However, Tatsuha was a part of Ryuichi's life before. A very big part. So, even if Tohma wanted to send a few thousand assassins to assassinate him, a part of him just couldn't.
'Even if Ryuichi never remembered, Tatsuha was still a part of him.'
"Ryuichi, it's getting late already, Noriko's husband will start worrying if she isn't home soon."
"Ah, it is getting late! I have to go now guys. We had an awesome concert! I'll see you guys tomorrow!" She gave her band members each a hug before getting on her car.
"Okay! Night-night Noriko-chan!" Ryuichi gave Noriko a small peck on the cheek. Noriko couldn't help but smile. "Night, Ryu-chan." With that, she then drove off home to her family.
When Noriko's car was out of sight, Ryuichi tiptoed to Tohma's car as fast as he could, so he could pretend he was sleeping and he won't need to answer anything Tohma would ask.
"Ryuichi, the journey from here to your house take about half an hour, with the traffic jams and red traffic lights, it'll take another fifteen minutes. In total, you have roughly forty-five minutes to tell me EVERYTHING that had happen when you were alone with Tatsuha. If you do not cooperate, I'll take the longest routes back to your house and I'll call all the chocolate and candy stores plus factories around Japan to not sell any sweets to you. If you're still persistent, I'll tie you up to a chair and make a random fan girl spoon feed you broccoli while another girl will take kumagoro and do some inappropriate activities with it." Tohma said without any emotion on his voice and face as he unlocks the car door and got in.
'Too late…!' Ryuichi thought as he shed invisible tears while he made his way to Tohma's car, or by the way he called it, his utter doom.
Ryuichi had tried not to cooperate, but after Tohma had taken another long route, he reached for his phone.
"Hello, BunnySugar.inc? This is Seguchi Tohma, I'd like to request that—"
"Okay! I'll spill!" Ryuichi then pounced on Tohma, almost causing them to knock into a nearby wall
"So, that's what happened." Tohma said after hearing Ryuichi said what had happened.
"Yeah…"
The same silent air like the one in the basement was floating again. The only sound made was the music from the radio, but it was on so soft; it seems there was no sound at all, just muffling sounds.
"Ne…Tohma, how…how…how did he know about my secret?" Ryuichi said, it had taken him awhile and a lot of courage for him to voice it out. He didn't know why a person he had never seen before would know that secret of his, and he hoped Tohma had the answer.
"Do you think he'll know my other secrets, Tohma? Do you think he'll know my past!? Do you think he can help me!" Tears had started rolling down Ryuichi's face when he had asked that. Ryuichi couldn't stand it, for three years he has lived his life without knowing much about himself except that he loves singing, has a pink bunny and has a crush on the Yuki Eiri. The last thing he remembered was he woke up crying in a hospital bed, he didn't remember anything before that. He didn't even know why he was crying. It had affected him a lot.
After going through all kinds of treatments and examinations, the doctors classified his case as amnesia. Even though they said it was temporary and all of his memories would come back soon, it never came back fully. Ryuichi managed to remember his friends, the songs he had written and places he had been to. Still, some parts of his memories never came back.
He often had dreams of him and Yuki in a park or at an amusement park. However, the Yuki in his dream was different from the one in real life. The dream Yuki was kind and always smiled, while the Yuki in real life was cold and hardly smiles. In the end, Ryuichi concluded that he had a crush on Yuki and those stuff could only happen in his dreams.
Ryuichi was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't notice they had already reached his house. He kept crying until he had cried himself to sleep.
Tohma then carried him and opened the door to his house. He lay Ryuichi on the couch. Before he left, Tohma quietly answered Ryuichi's question while he was asleep.
"I don't know, Ryuichi, I honestly don't know…" Tohma then closed and locked the front door, putting the house keys under the doormat before making his way to his car.
'Where am I? Why is it so dark?' Ryuichi thought to himself as he aimlessly walked around the dark room. 'Is this another dream again?'
The dark room suddenly became bright and Ryuichi found himself at an amusement park. 'Guess it's another dream…But why does this seem so different…'
Ryuichi then saw himself sitting on a bench, happily eating ice cream, but he wasn't alone. A young man was sitting next to him, but the man wasn't Yuki like in his other dreams. The man's face had been covered by some kind of light, so Ryuichi couldn't tell if he knew the stranger or not. 'I've never had this dream before…'
Ryuichi followed the dream Ryuichi and the stranger all over the amusement park. Noticing how happily the dream him was very happy and calm with the stranger. 'So, he must have been a very good friend of mine.'
Suddenly, a few men dressed in black went and confront the dream Ryuichi. The stranger had tried to protect him, but instead, he was stabbed in the stomach. Ryuichi was shocked at what he was seeing. The dream Ryuichi kept crying and shouting. The stranger lay on the ground, not moving. 'Is he…dead….?'
Ryuichi had wanted to go up and check on the stranger, but the stranger suddenly stood up and charged at the men, punching them as he defended Ryuichi. It wasn't long till the men were lying on the ground unconscious.
Ryuichi was shocked at what he had just seen. Not the fact that the guy was badly wounded and yet he managed to beat the crap out of the men. He was shock at the person who just beat them up.
'It can't be…' Ryuichi thought to himself.
Suddenly, Ryuichi heard a phone ring. He opened his eyes and saw the morning sunlight shine through the curtains. He hurriedly picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Hello? Sakuma-san?"
'No way…'
"Sakuma-san? You there?"
'This is the only person who can help me now…'
"Sakuma-san, if you were offended by what I said last night, I'm sorry, I won't bother you again." There was a pause. "Goodbye, Sakuma-san."
"Wait!" Ryuichi shouted into the phone.
'Tatsuha Uesugi…you're my last hope.'
To be continued…
Hi again. Thank you all for the encouraging reviews. I thought I was going to receive flames and only flames, guess I was wrong. So big thanks and hugs to everyone.
I know YukiRyu is weird too, but the idea just came to me all of a sudden when I first wrote chapter 1. To be honest, I had wanted to do a small one-shot, but that idea came and well, I'm doing chapters now! I hope you guys won't be mad at how my story might go!
Hope you find chapter2 okay, and sorry if it's short, poorly written and full of grammar mistakes! My betas aren't online and it's already one thirty am here. The ending for this chapter is suck-ish, so sorry about it! I hope it'll be better in the next chapter! All types of reviews are welcome because I too know I still need improvements!
So until chapter 3!
