Summary: They always stuck together through thick and thin, the good times and the bad. All different personalities, but they share one thing in common: love can't be masked and gave up on by admitting human frailty...rather by following what their heart says, not their heads.

Chapter 11:

"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Happiness seeped out of every pore on his body. His aura transformed into a huge wave of happy-happy-joy-joy goop, and it made Hiro sick to his stomach. He walked behind Shuichi and slapped him on the back of the head.

"OW! Hey, what was that for?!" Shuichi asked angrily, rubbing the spot where Hiro hit him.

"CALM DOWN!" Hiro yelled back in his face.

Suguru walked up to Hiro and slapped him.

"STOP BULLYING SHUICHI!"

"STOP DEFENDING THE FREAK!"

Shuichi backed away as Suguru and Hiro began one of their fights once again. Shuichi silently hoped that they would remember that they were at work and wouldn't end up having sex in the floor like they normally would. Sakano panicked at seeing the two fight.

"AH, THIS IS A DISASTER!!!!!! WE CAN'T HAVE A BAND IF THE MEMBERS DON'T GET ALONG! K-SAN, SHOOT ME! SHOOT ME, NOW!"

"Sorry, Sakano, sir, I can't do that. But, here, I will let you handle this one yourself. I don't want your blood on my hands when you have a suicidal moment."

K handed Sakano his mini-revolver. Sakano fondled it like a baby, and he gently raised the barrel to his temple.

"Goodbye cruel world..."

"SAKANO-SAN!" Shuichi yelled and grabbed the gun out of Sakano's hands. "DON'T KILL YOURSELF! THOSE TWO IDIOTS FIGHT ALL THE TIME! THEY ARE A COUPLE, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THEM!"

Sakano stared in confusion at Shuichi before pouting and handing the gun to K, who immediatly took it and cradled it, whispering words like, "Sorry, baby, he really was going to use you, too..." to it. The urge to run away in fright filled within Shuichi before the realization of his earlier happiness once again dawned on him.

"OH, HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE DONE WITH OUR FIRST SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"T-that you are, Shindou-kun. Let us talk about it furthur over a cup of coffee? And, to have a talk with Seguchi-san about a full time job."

"Sounds good to me." K said, Shuichi nodding behind him, and the three of them leaving the room while Suguru and Hiro tore each other limb from limb.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, hello aniki-san."

"Save it, Kai, this is serious."

"Oh, aniki taking down the child act. Shock, shock." Kai said, his tone nothing but pure sarcasm.

"I want you to stay away from Shuichi."

Kai's face darkened and his eyes blazed in madness.

"That bitch has to pay..."

Ryuichi glared at his brother seated across from him at a table outside of a little café. This wasn't a moment to toy with his nerves.

"That bastard ruined my life..."

"No, Kai, you ruined his."

Kai's eyes glowed with a deep fire, sending goosebumps up and down Ryuichi's arms, but his face showed no signs of fear. Kai was insane, he was unstable. Something had to be done before he could really hurt Shuichi.

"Because of him I got locked up! That bitch was so dependant on me he got me caught! And he did no time. He had no payment, no nothing!"

"You know damn good and well that he had to suffer as well, Kai!" Ryuichi replied angrily. "He had to spend time in rehab and a correctional facility! You egged him on with the drugs! You only got jail time because you weren't strung out, you just had the drugs on you. You would deliberatly drug Shuichi, have your way with him, and leave him to rot! That's all you ever did! Don't you dare put the blame on Shuichi!"

"He took the drugs... He didn't have to."

"Kai, I know all about everything that you did to Shuichi. You forced heroine on him...you stuck that needle in his arm, and then left him to suffer from the withdrawls! You tricked him into taking LSD by telling him it was pain medicine for his headache! You poured crack into his wounds whenever he slit his wrists! You're a monster, Kai! You don't deserve to roam the streets! You made life a living hell for Shuichi, and now you are only making it worse! He finally got better and then you wanted to show your ass up and ruin that for him! Go back to jail and rot for all we care, Kai!"

Kai continued to glare as Ryuichi stood to his feet and walked away, his eyes narrowed and his cheeks flustered with anger.

"So, you think that will save him, aniki? Think again..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SLAM

Shuichi found his back colliding with a brick wall, Kai's hands on either side of him against the wall, his face dangerously close.

"K-Kai..."

"Hiya, Shu-chan."

"W-what do you want?"

"I want you to know the pain of payment..."

"P-payment for what?"

RIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Kai dug into Shuichi's pocket and grabbed his phone, throwing it onto the ground, crushing it beneath his foot.

-----------

"Hey, have you guys seen Shuichi?"

Ryuichi slammed the door open, Yuki, Hiro, and Suguru all on phones.

"No." Yuki said, his voice strained with worry. "We have all been trying to call him, but he won't answer his phone. Oh, God, what could have happened to him?!"

"I bet you like anything Kai is with him." Hiro said, his anger rising.

Ryuichi's eyes widened. If Shuichi was with Kai, there was only one place that the two could be...

-----------

"Shu-chan, remember the good 'ole times? Remember the good 'ole days, just me and you, sitting here...and these..."

Kai waved a bag full of pills and powder in Shuichi's face. Shuichi's knees went weak. That was the last thing he needed waving in front of his fade...

"You want this don't you, Shu-chan? You miss this, don't you?"

"No! I don't want it! I don't!"

"Don't deny it, Shu-chan."

Kai opened the bag, stuck his hand inside, and pulled out several pills.

"You remember what this ecstacy did to you, don't you? That was the day you got found in the middle of the street in a mess." Kai's eyes narrowed in hate. "It was also the day that I got caught. The day that I got found for breaking out of prison from killing that little blonde girl, and having all of those drugs. The day that I got thrown back into that hell."

"H-how did you get out?" Shuichi asked, cowaring at the pills in Kai's hand.

"A little persuasion." he said with a smirk.

"You're sick." Shuichi whispered.

"Maybe. Maybe not. Now open wide, Shu-chan. You're going to get what's coming to you!"

Kai wrenched Shuichi's mouth open and poured six pills into his mouth. Shuichi forced himself not to swallow them. Kai, angered by this action, grabbed Shuichi's arm painfully, forcing the pink-head to swallow the pills.

"Thadda boy, Shu-chan. Now, let's just sit and let the pills take their effect."

He let go of Shuichi's arm and watched the pink-head sink to the ground, his eyes fixated at nothing. Shuichi was mumbling to himself, his fingers twitching, his head getting dizzier, his vision getting blurrier. Once Kai thought the pills had taken enough effect he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Shuichi's head.

"You are going to pay, you son of a bitch, for ruining me."

BANG

Kai dropped the gun as pain shot through his arm, warm blood spilling out of the gunshot wound. He looked over to see a blonde holding the gun and an angry Ryuichi, three others behind them. Hiro and Suguru gasped at the sight of Shuichi, who was getting higher by the second and on the verge of passing out. Yuki gasped when he saw his lover and ran past the others to get to him.

"Shuichi! Are you okay?!"

Yuki took his lover in his arms. Shuichi looked up at Yuki, his gaze quickly losing it's glow and fading into a darkness drove by a high.

"I'm sorry, Yuki..." he whispered/mumbled.

"Don't be, Shuichi! It's not your fault!"

"SON OF A BITCH! YOU'LL PAY!"

"I'll see to you it that you get back in jail and never let out!" K said angrily as he forcefully led the fuming Kai away and to a car to take him back to where he belonged: the prison.

Ryuichi, Hiro, and Suguru approached Shuichi. Ryuichi squatted in front of Yuki, watching Shuichi fade in his arms.

"He needs to rest. He's going to have one hell of a high in the morning. Kai must have given him a lot of pills. He's going to have a bad night, not being around that much of a drug in so long."

"You sure seem like an expert on this, Sakuma-san." Suguru said, his gaze never leaving Shuichi.

"If Kai was your brother, then you would know as much as I do."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things went back to normal a few weeks later. Shuichi made a full recovery from the drugs, Bad Luck's single The Rage Beat was selling extremely well, and the band was faced with a full time job at NG. With a little work from Seguchi, and a little persuasion, the band managed to convince Yuki to move into an apartment near the university with them so they could all still be together and Yuki could still go to his classes.

"How long did Kai end up getting in prison?"

"Sixty years." Ryuichi answered, licking his ice cream. "But, that's okay, because he won't bother you anymore!"

The two lead singers laughed like old friends as they enjoyed a day with the people they care about the most: Yuki, Tatsuha, Hiro, and Suguru.

"This is nice. We hardly ever spend this much time together anymore." Tatsuha said, stretching his arms high above his head and then dove in to lick the stray ice cream off of Ryuichi's lips.

"It won't be the last..."
