Small, but lots happens.

Shuichi fixed the bow tie of the tuxedo. He let out a sigh as he made sure everything was right.

"Wow look at big brother," Maiko joked from the bathroom door.

Shuichi turned to look at her. "I don't like this suit. It itches," he said as he tried to fix it.

"You look handsome honey," their mom said from the hallway. Shuichi sighed as he started out the door.

-

Mika fixed Eiri's tie. "Honestly, you shouldn't drink so much."

Eiri rolled his eyes, pulling from his sister once the tie was done. "You could just let me sleep."

"We went over this already, Eiri. You have to be there since you are acting as King," Mika said as she sat down in a bedroom chair. "Come here," she said softly.

Eiri sat in front of her on the floor.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into an embrace. "I'm sorry your heart is broken. No, I don't like seeing you like this. But now I am going through a similar thing. Please, just go tonight and I'll leave you alone tomorrow. No one will bother you and you can track down your love."

"Thank you…" he whispered.

She kissed his head. "You don't have to thank me, I'm your sister. But for now we have to go," she said patting his back.

Hiro and Shuichi were running around along with other servers. Some were getting their trays of food, others drinks.

Shuichi helped Hiro get a tray and walk out the door with various snacks. He on the other hand had to stay in back and work with the food to give to the servers.

A man in a more professional suit walked up to the people plating stuff. "Shindou, get out there and serve drinks," he said.

Shuichi nodded, grabbing an empty drink tray.

After a minute he was out, walking through the crowd, offering drinks. He kept walking, not paying attention.

"Hey it's Shuichi," a voice said from behind him.

Turning, he looked at the raven haired man behind him. "Prince Tatsuha…you're here?"

"Course, I'm a Prince: I get invites to all the parties."

Shuichi nodded.

"I'm surprised you're here."

"Suguru got Hiro's job back and the manager offered me one too. Since I needed one, I took it," he said as he looked around to make sure the man wasn't near. "But I have work I need to do, so if you will excuse me." He bowed, walking back into the abyss.

Tatsuha quickly pulled his phone out, taking a picture of Shuichi as he walked away. He attached it to a message and sent it to his brother.

If only the blond Prince had bothered to grab his phone he would have known.

As Shuichi walked he passed Hiro who nodded at him. Now there were probably too many empty glasses on his tray. He kept walking, passing by a chair of a man who had long since drunk too much. Shuichi noticed this when the man grabbed his right arms and violently pulled him back, causing the tray to drop onto the floor shattering glass. "W-what?" Shuichi said as the man laid his head on the teens shoulder.

His free hand found its way into Shuichi's pants.

"Sir, stop."

"Hush brat. I've missed doing this," Eiri said, alcohol staining his breath.

"Eiri…please not here…" he said as he tried to get free. Eiri's hand rested when it found its target. Slowly the digits ran run and down the appendage.

Many people stared in shock and aw.

Shuichi's boss ran up, horrified at what he saw. "Shindou!" he yelled.

Shuichi was still trying to fight free from Eiri.

"Please release my employee," the man said.

"Fuck off, he's mine," Eiri said as he traced a line from Shuichi's color bone to the ear lobe with his tongue. "Tell them Shuichi; tell them you are mine."

"Please…you're scaring me," Shuichi pleaded. "Eiri please stop this."

All of the Princes movements stopped at once, even his breathing. I've heard that before…"Yuki, please stop…you're scaring me," ran through his mind. The words he said to his tutor before shooting him dead. He released the teen, causing him to fall into the mess of glass and alcohol. "Shuichi…" he blinked, seeing the red blood.

Shuichi screamed out in pain. Eiri reached down to help him but tore from his seat last second. He had to get out. He didn't care where he went; he just had to get away.

"Eiri," Mika said as he ran by her.

Hearing his friend scream, Hiroshi pushed his tray into some random person's hands and ran to the source of the sound. "Shu," he said as he sat next to his friend on the floor. He rolled Shuichi over, seeing all the blood on his arms and front.

Shuichi had passed out, but Hiro wasn't sure if it was from the pain, sight of blood, or blood loss.

Both Tatsuha and Suguru had run up, followed close by Aiyana and Ryuichi. "Quick, get a car," Tatsuha yelled.

Some random person bowed and ran off to do as ordered.

"Hiroshi, we need to get him to a hospital."

Hiro nodded, pulling the unconscious teen up with him.

Immediately Tatsuha helped support Shuichi's weight. "Hell is Eiri when we could use him? We already know he can lift Shuichi easily."

Quickly Claude ran up, taking the teen from them. He carried Shuichi bridal style out to the waiting car.

Tohma stood at the top of the stairs holding Mika's hands. To both it was their first date all over again, though only one remembered it.

"Thank you for helping me calm Eiri down, Tohma."

"It was my pleasure, Princess," he said as he kissed her hand. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" he asked softly.

"Maybe…I just got a new pair of night clothes if you wouldn't mind telling me how I look in them." They shared a quick kiss before going into her bedroom and locking the door.
