Chapter four: Of All Things To Happen
It's been two days since the concert, Tohma has been insisting Yuki to go and meet Shuichi and get to know each other, which meant that there was something about Shuichi Tohma wants to find out, which also means that it can't be good to either of them. Yuki sighed as he poured some coffee into his cup. He went back to his study and after sitting took a sip of his coffee. He put his cup down and scanned what he has typed so far. He was about to resume typing when a, probably going to turn into a tradition, knock came to his door. Annoyed he stood up and walked to his door; knowing who was on the other side. He opened it. "Don't you think that these visits are much Tohma." And sure enough Tohma was on the other side, but someone was behind him.
"Hello Eiri." Tohma greeted.
"Going by first name bases now?" Yuki asked. Tohma nodded.
"I brought someone here to give you company." Tohma said and pulled whoever was behind him in front of him. To his surprise it was Shuichi. He was looking at the ground not looking at Yuki straight in the eye. Noticing this Tohma asked "Well aren't you going to say hello?" Shuichi looked up and Yuki met his purple eyes.
"Hello Yuki." He greeted. Yuki nodded a hello back.
"May we come in and sit down?" Tohma asked. Yuki moved out of the way so they could get into the apartment.
'He is defiantly up to something,' Yuki thought as he shut the door and followed them into the living room. Tohma and Shuichi sat down on the couch and Yuki sat towards the end.
"So what do you want?" Yuki asked. There was still a hint of annoyance in his voice, but some of it disappeared. Tohma grinned.
"Like I told you I brought Shuichi here to get you some company."
"Right…" Yuki said. A few minutes later Tohma stood up.
"Well I guess this is were I leave you." He turned to Shuichi. "You remember how to get a hold of me?" Shuichi nodded and Tohma left. Yuki and Shuichi sat in silence for a few minutes, neither knowing what to say.
"So, would you like something to drink?" Yuki asked breaking the silence. Shuichi looked at him and nodded. He stood up. "What would you like?" he asked walking to the kitchen.
"Water is fine." He heard Shuichi say. He got a cup, filled it with water, walked back to the living room, and gave it to Shuichi. He nodded his head in thanks and took a sip from it. Yuki went into his study to grab his cup of coffee and came back out, sitting onto the couch. He took a sip from that.
"So what do you do as an occupation?" Shuichi asked.
"I write novels." Came a simple response.
"I see." Another moment of silence.
"So what made you want to be a singer?" Yuki asked.
"Well most of it is because of Nittle Grasper's Ryuichi Sakuma. His skill level is amazing and I want to be able to reach it or even pass it." A smile came across Shuichi's face. He looked at Yuki. "Do you know who Nittle Grasper is… of course you do you know Tohma."
"It isn't because I know Tohma, it's because he is my brother-in-law." Yuki said with a sigh.
"Brother-in-law!?" Shuichi looked surprised.
"Yeah he's married to my older sister." He said taking another sip of his coffee.
"Wow."
"Yeah you are telling me." Yuki looked at the clock on the wall. It was 10:00 P.M. "Are you hungry? I can make you something."
"If you don't mind." He replied. Yuki got up and went into the kitchen. He put his cup of coffee on the counter and went to the fridge to see what he had. He didn't really see anything so he went to his cupboards and found a box of curry. He pulled it out and went back to the fridge and grabbed some chopped chicken. He got out the pans and other things and started to cook. Half and hour later Yuki came out with a couple of plates and handed one to Shuichi. He took a spoonful and tasted it.
"You are really good at cooking Yuki." Shuichi complimented taking another bite. They finished up their dinner and Yuki stood up and walked to the other side of the room. He opened up some curtains and on the other side of them were windows as big as the walls surrounding them. Shuichi stood up and walked next to Yuki to look out them. The busy night streets and the bright lights of the nearby buildings probably could have lit up the room they were in if the lights were off. "You don't seem the type to live in a city like this." Yuki looked at Shuichi.
"Do I seem like that?" Shuichi nodded. "Well I have lived in cities for most of my life." Yuki turned back to the window.
"Have you ever thought about moving out to the country?"
"Once in a while yes." They were met with silence again. It seemed to happen to them a lot they noticed.
"Am I asking too many questions?" Shuichi asked. Yuki shrugged.
"I don't know."Yuki looked at the clock and noticed that it was going on midnight. "I think you should go home. I'll drop you off since it's not safe at night." Yuki told him. He watched as Shuichi looked at the clock as well and nodded.
"Yuki, can I ask you something?" Shuichi asked facing him. He nodded. "Does it feel like Tohma is setting us up?"
"There are a lot of times that I don't understand Tohma's actions and this is one of them." Yuki replied.
"I see…" Yuki grabbed the keys of his Mercedes off the coffee table and walked to get his jacket when he heard the shattering of glass from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw 3 people in the room. One of them was holding onto the struggling Shuichi. They notice Yuki in the room.
"What do we do with him?" the one to the left of the one holding Shuichi asked the one to the right.
"Drink him dry I don't care." Came an answer. Yuki realized how they got to his apartment, which was on the fifth floor. They were vampires and that it is not going to be easy to get rid of them. The two that weren't holding Shuichi started to walk towards him.
"Y-Yuki…"
Shuichi called his name with struggle. Yuki saw the bloodlust in
their crimson eyes and saw their sharp fangs as they drew closer. The
glass crunched as they walked slowly as if they were stalking him.
The lights suddenly turned off and Yuki heard footsteps behind him.
Yuki guess it was another vampire that came as backup. He was
surrounded, with no where to go, and with no chance to save Shuichi,
right now that
is.

Answers why I put it under supernatural. You would think that this is the huge plot twist I was talking about, it isn't. *Evil smirk* this is why I said that it was a little AU as well, I should just take out the "little" out of it and make it full blown AU. What do you think?
