Chapter 4

In the morning, Shuichi was woken by someone banging on his door. He got up and opened it to be knocked aside by K, Hiro, and Fujisaki.

"Good morning, Shuichi. It's time to rise and shine for the Canadian world." K said as he twirled his gun. Shuichi scowled a little bit.

"Why do you have to be so loud, and what did I tell you about twirling that gun in my face?" Shuichi said grumpily. His voice had dropped about three octaves.

"Why so glum, Shu-chan? Missing Yuki already?" Hiro asked as he rubbed Shuichi's hair. Shuichi hit him in the chest and walked over to the bed.

"No, I don't miss Yuki. I'm tired, okay. I didn't get the best of sleep last night." Shuichi said as he unpacked some clothes.

"Now, now, Shuichi. Maybe you'll run into Eiri-san here in Canada. It may be bigger than Japan, but some of our stops are the same as his." Hiro said as he wrapped his arm over Shuichi's shoulder. Shuichi shrugged him off and walked into the bathroom. He came back out and repacked his bag. He wrote a note on the memo pad that lay beside the bed and folded it. As they walked past Yuki's room, Shuichi pushed the note under the door. He paused a moment, but then turned and followed the others.

Yuki was disturbed by the cheerful voice of Shuichi's American manager, K. He heard a voice that he recognized as Shuichi after he's cried himself to sleep. That didn't make him feel any better. Then when Shuichi said that he didn't miss him, Yuki felt even worse. But why should he miss him? He saw him last night. He noticed that Shuichi didn't tell them of their meeting. He was lying in bed thinking about it when Shuichi slid the note under his door. He waited to make sure that Shuichi wasn't there anymore before he got up to get it. He unfolded the wrinkled sheet and read:

Yuki,

I'm sorry about last night. The last thing you need is me bothering you on your tour. I'll see you back in Japan.

Shuichi

He didn't say I love you. He didn't say I'll see you when I get home. He just said I'll see you in Japan. It's almost as if he's saying that he moved out. No. Shuichi isn't that kind of a person. Yuki kept pondering these thoughts until he left for another book-signing. Even throughout the day, Yuki was bothered by Shuichi's words.
