AN) Okay this chapter is the shortest so far but I have two reasons, 1) Harry Potter 6 is out and I've done nothing but read. 2) Gravitation 12 came out and I've been in a state of emotional shock since. I love the series but I really hope she adds on to it because the end just didn't do it for me sorry but I thought it could have been better. That's me though it also could have been worse I mean she could have killed them all.

Shuichi woke slowly blinking his eyes at the bright light. He still felt overwhelmingly tired but he wanted to know where he was. Seconds later he was very aware of his position because the only thing keeping him in his seat was his seat belt.

"God dammit people need to learn to drive." Eiri grumbled under his breath after having hit the brakes. Shuichi laughed lightly looking at the novelist from his laying position in the passenger's seat. Yuki's eyes found his and the worried expression on his face immediately caused Shuichi to sober.

"I didn't mean to wake you we're almost home now another half hour tops." Eiri said focusing on the road again. Shuichi blinked slowly 'Home? As in Tokyo that home?' His mind asked. He lay quietly for a few seconds mentally retracing the events of the day.

"What happened after I fell asleep?" Shuichi finally asked.

"I packed our stuff and got you out of there as fast as I could. Shuichi I realize you're tired and probably don't want to talk but what happened?" Eiri asked firmly.

"You scared him really bad you know? You should have seen the look on his face I wish I'd had a camera."

"You didn't answer my question what happened?" Eiri repeated.

"I answered the door and he was there I tried to run but he caught me and… you know the rest." Shuichi said quietly.

"Ok then who was he and has he done this before?" Eiri knew the subject made Shuichi uncomfortable but he had to know.

"He's just a kid from my old high school he used to beat me up all the time till Hiro came along and then it stopped." 'Well that was half true,' Shuichi thought, 'Hiro thought it stopped but it didn't it just kept going till he…' Tears began to run down his face as he remembered the time Aizawa had raped him.

"What's his name?" Eiri said his voice laced with rage. When he received no answer he looked over to find the teen crying again. Eiri released a sigh and ran his hand through his blond hair. "Don't worry about it we'll talk later after you've had some more rest."

Shuichi nodded slightly then rolled over so that he was no longer facing Yuki and closed his eyes to go back to sleep. When he woke next it was already dark the clock across the room was just barely visible reading 9:37 PM. Sitting up he realized that his whole body ached most likely from the tumble he'd taken to the floor. After gaining his feet he grab his pajamas, which Yuki had laid out for him, then headed downstairs to take a bath. The bathroom upstairs only had a shower and he wanted to just sit in a tub of water till it became freezing. The downstairs of the house was lit up like a Christmas tree Yuki had every light in the house on. Shuichi could hear Yuki talking in a hushed voice, he walked into the living room to confirm this. The first thing his eyes met were Tohma's it took seconds for the serious and disturbed look that had been on his bosses face to disappear and be replaced with his usual smile. Yuki also turned to look at him though his face didn't hold fake smiles only worry.

"What were you two taking about?" Shuichi asked knowing perfectly well the topic of conversation had been him.

"I was telling Tohma what happened at your parent's house. Since your up you could add a few details that you left out such as the mans name." Eiri said standing.

"Eiri I'm sure that Shuichi is still very tired and it appears he was heading to the bathroom." Tohma said motioning to the clothes Shuichi was holding. "We can talk later I'm sure Shuichi would just like to relax right now."

Shuichi nodded and made his exit before Yuki could call him back. He simply didn't want to talk about it what was the point? It was over and as far as Shuichi could see it would never happen again. Aizawa lived far away and he could avoid going to his parents Tohma was great at making up excuses so he would never have to be in that situation again. Shuichi removed his shirt then stared in the mirror he didn't look any different. He lifted his bangs to reveal the bump that had formed on his temple from where Aizawa had hit him. He then let his fingers trace over the now scabbed wounds on his chest. He didn't look dirty but he felt it how could he not. Trying to turn his mind from those thoughts he got in the tub and watched as it finished filling. Yuki had a huge tub so Shuichi was able to lay down completely with nothing but his head above the water. He tried to shut his mind down to think of nothing but the warm comfort of the water but every time he closed his eyes Aizawa's hateful smile filled his vision. He could remember his parent's anger and disgust with him when Aizawa had raped him. Shuichi had never been on great terms with his parents but when Aizawa had done that things went from bad to worse. Shuichi's father had been convinced that it was Shuichi's fault that it had happened. The only one who hadn't blamed him for the event had been Miako. His mother had refused to touch him and the next day both pretended that nothing had happened they just simply went on ignoring him. Less then a week after that Bad Luck had played their first live gig and been approached by Mr. Sakano. He had liked them and wanted to know when their next performance was so that he could bring his boss and hopefully get them signed. Two months later they had been signed to N-G Productions and Shuichi had moved to Tokyo with Hiro after a long argument between his parents and Seguchi. Suguru was added to the band as soon as they got there, after his initial dislike of the keyboardist Shuichi had decided he didn't mind the boy and accepted him into the band. Things had been going fine till his parents informed Tohma that Shuichi had to have a guardian that was over eighteen so he could no longer live with Hiro. Shuichi smiled to himself as he remembered the first time he'd met Yuki. At first he had been scared but he quickly realized that the novelist was one of the greatest people he'd ever met and he loved living here.

Shuichi opened his eyes to find golden ones staring back into his. He jumped and immediately tried to cover himself splashing water everywhere. When he finally had the courage to look up Yuki was standing next to the tub water dripping down his face. The novelist sighed as he used a sleeve to wipe the water away and then turned back to Shuichi.

"Was that necessary getting me sopping wet?" Eiri asked amused Shuichi had turned a bright shade of red that went half way down his torso.

"Well why did you sneak up on me? What were you doing in here while I'm taking a bath anyway!" Shuichi challenged.

"You've been in here for over and hour I was afraid you'd tried to kill yourself. I knocked but you didn't answer so I just came in and it looked like you were sleeping. I think it's time you got out the waters cold." Eiri said grabbing a towel and holding it out for the boy. Shuichi's blush darkened as he stood up still trying to cover himself he didn't know why he was so embarrassed of Yuki seeing him naked Hiro had hundreds of times. Yuki draped the towel over his shoulders and then pulled him up against himself so that Shuichi's back was molded to his stomach. Shuichi gasped at the sudden sign of affection and relaxed into Yuki's gentle hold.

"You're never going back there again at least not while I'm looking after you." Eiri whispered in his ear. Shuichi smiled at Yuki's way of saying he was worried he turned and wrapped his arms around the novelist's waist laying his head on his chest. Shuichi didn't know how long they stood there like that in comfortable silence. Finally Yuki pulled away and looked at him.

"You're shivering dry off and get dressed. Tohma made us dinner and I'm sure you're starved." Eiri then disappeared out the door. As Shuichi dressed he found his reflection in the mirror this time he didn't feel dirty and he was sure the bath had nothing to do with it.

Dinner was short and sweet Tohma talked about work and Mika while Yuki blatantly ignored him. Shuichi began to feel tired halfway through the meal and was ordered to bed by Yuki immediately. He made his way up to his room and was just about to turn off the light when an odd tube next to his suitcase caught his attention. He picked it up and slid the rubber band off unrolling it slowly. It was his Nittle Grasper poster, his eyes filled with tears as he realized the Yuki must have taken it for him. He wanted to put it up at once but realized that he was too tired and in no physical state to be climbing on chairs to reach the ceiling. Shuichi rolled it back up carefully and set it back down where Yuki had left it. He crawled into bed and quickly fell asleep all thoughts of what had happened earlier that day vanished.

End Note) For those of you who remain ever hopeful and have been screaming at me to get them together you're in luck the next chapter has a lemon and it's the only part that I haven't finished yet. As soon as I have the dirty scene up to par I'll post it. I hope that in some way makes up for the fact that this chapter is so short.
