Chapter five: Why?
'Just think of it, just earlier my day was as normal as it could be,' Yuki thought annoyed about his current situation. With the vampires closing in on him he had to think fast about what to do. There were two vampires in front of him and one behind him. If only he could get to the kitchen. He could get to the bar and slid across it to get into the kitchen, but the vampires need to be distracted. He looked at Shuichi again. Shuichi wiggled so that his mouth was uncovered.
"The sun is coming up." He said. At first the vampires didn't believe him, but the there was a sudden there was a flash of light. The vampires rushed to get out of it while Yuki did what he planned to get into the kitchen. He opened one of the kitchen drawers and pulled out a knife. Not exactly what he wanted, but good enough. The light went away and the vampires noticed Yuki with the knife. The three that surrounded him lunged at him and he stabbed the first one in the heart, turning into dust. He dodged one and stabbed that one in the heart and that one too turned into dust.
"You shouldn't be able to dodge us that easily," said the vampire in front of him that turned out to be a she-vamp. Taking this as his chance he grabbed a hold of her and pulled her arms to her back. He moved the knife to her heart.
"Let Shuichi go." Yuki demanded. The three vampires laughed.
"What are you waiting for Layla sock him one," said the vampire to his left. The she-vamp wiggled for a second then stopped.
"I-I can't," she said with panic in her voice. They stopped laughing when they heard it. Yuki inched the blade closer.
"Well?" The four of them looked at each other. The leader let go of Shuichi and he ran next to Yuki.
"Let go of Layla." Yuki didn't let her go.
"Not until after you leave." They were about to protest until Layla shook her head.
"Just go, I'll catch up." After a few seconds he nodded and they jumped out of the apartment. "Okay they are gone, now let me go."
"Make sure they don't come back or else something unpleasant will happen to ALL of you." With that he let her go and she went off to catch up to the others.
"Thank you for saving me." Shuichi said looking at Yuki, but was taken aback by his expression. Yuki was glaring down at him.
"I think I know why Tohma was so interested in you now." Yuki said. Shuichi knew that Yuki was upset. After all he would be too if his apartment was trashed and having expensive windows destroyed. "Is this the first time they came after you?" Shuichi slowly shook his head.
"No… this isn't the first time." Shuichi was starting to feel more uneasy by the second. Yuki looked away from him and looked at his destroyed apartment. "I know that this is a bad time and all, but would you like to stay at my apartment?" Yuki turned back to him. "I-I mean since this is mostly my fault and all, and you shouldn't stay here with it being like this."
Yuki glared at him for a minute before agreeing unwillingly. Yuki shut what was left of the curtains and walked to his room. He felt underneath his bed and pulled out a suitcase. He placed it on his bed and walked over to his closet.
Meanwhile Shuichi sat onto the couch and waited for him. He heard doors open and a few minutes later a clicking noise. Yuki came out in a different outfit and a suitcase. Shuichi stood back up. "Let's go, we're taking the Mercedes," Yuki said walking to the door. He grabbed his keys and walked to the door. He let Shuichi go out first and locked up what was left of his apartment. They walked down to the car and Yuki opened the door. He looked at Shuichi who was gapping at it. "Well are you getting in or not?" Shuichi shook his head.
"Sorry, never seen a Mercedes this close before." He opened the door as well and they both got in. Yuki started the car up.
"Now, tell me where to go." He demanded. About a half an hour later they came to a different, less expensive, apartment building. Yuki parked his car in the underground parking lot and they headed up the building.
"My room is on the fourth floor." Shuichi told him as they rode the elevator up. "I guess I'll have to make you a spare key, so you can get in while I'm gone."
"Listen; don't let this go to your head. Anyways you still have some explaining to do." Yuki growled.
"I-I know." They walked down the hall when they got off the elevator and came to the second to last door to the right. "Well here it is." Shuichi pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. He opened it and they both walked in. "It's not much, but its home." Yuki looked around. It wasn't too bad. It wasn't as bug as his apartment, but it was alright. He expected a small apartment. Shuichi walked up to a door and opened it. "This will be your room. Hiro usually sleeps there when he come over, but well with your current situation and all." Yuki walked up to the doorway and looked in. Like the rest of the apartment it was decent. He walked in and placed his suitcase onto the bed. Shuichi left him alone to look around more. The last that Yuki saw him was when he walked into the kitchen. He surveyed the room. There wasn't much in it. A Dresser to his left, the bed to his right, alone with a window. He was going to open his suitcase up when there was a little explosion from where Shuichi went. Yuki walked out and was greeted by a cloud of black smoke.
"What did you do, you idiot!" he said trying to blow the smoke away from him. He walked across the room and opened a window. The smoked cleared a few minutes later and a coughing Shuichi appeared. After a second he stopped coughing and looked at Shuichi with watery eyes. "What were you trying to do?" Yuki asked walking towards him.
"I was trying to cook a snack." Shuichi said looking at the char remains of whatever was on the counter. Yuki walked into the kitchen.
"Move it." He pushed him out of the kitchen and tossed the black char into the trash can. He went to the fridge next to see what was in it. Not seeing anything that interested him he went through the cupboards and found a few boxes of curry. He placed the boxes onto the counter and looked for the right pan to use. When he found one and placed that onto the oven. He got the rest of the ingredients and started cooking. Twenty to thirty minutes later Yuki was putting a bowl onto the table on the other side of the kitchen. Shuichi walked in seeing Yuki doing what he was doing.
"Sorry about the table being in the Kitchen, I didn't know where else to put it." Yuki looked at him.
"Why are you apologizing to me, after all it's your place. You can do whatever you want with it. Now hurry up and eat it's getting close to dawn and I want to get to bed." Shuichi sat down and picked up a spoon.
"Why don't you go to bed now?" he asked taking a bit of curry.
"It's to bright with the lights and you're loud." Yuki simply said sitting in the chair across of the strawberry head.
"I'll just eat fast then, anyways I need to work tomorrow." Shuichi started to eat with bigger spoon fills. He finished a few minutes later, no almost chocking like Yuki thought he would. He placed the bowl in the sink and put the leftovers into the fridge. "There now we can get to bed. Shuichi walked to a door next to Yuki temporary room and opened it. "See you tomorrow Yuki." He opened it, walked inside, and closed it. Yuki walked to his room shutting off the lights as he went to it.
'Of all people this could have happened to, why me?' Yuki thought as he shut the bedroom door behind him.
Oh my, I can't believe this took forever to do. I'm sorry it took so long and that it isn't that good. I hope I will get more chapters up with this and the other fic. Well wish me luck, between midterms and getting things in order with the house ( Still have unpacking to do -_-) I'm going to need it, Until this SEE YA!! ^-^
