Shuichi's POV
'Oh Kami-sama! I can't believe it! My idol, Ryuichi Sakuma-sama, just asked me to stay the night at his house! And he seems genuinely concerned about my fight with Yuki. Could this get any better?'
"Oi, Shuichi!" Shuichi was once again brought back from his home planet, whatever that was, by Hiro.
"So, are you going to stay here and go home with Sakuma-san? Because. if you are, I'm going to go ahead and go on home."
I nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow Hiro." Hiro nodded, then left, with Suguru, K, and Sakano following soon after. I was then left in the studio with the three members of Nittle Grasper. I was going to get to watch my idols record their new songs. 'My dreams really are coming true!'
In the next 30 minutes, while watching the legends in front of me, I didn't think once about my fight with Yuki.
As the band finished their practice, Ryuichi came up to me asking me if I was ready to go. I was.
"So Ryu-chan, do you drive or do you have some one that drives you around? If you don't mind me asking."
"I don't mind, na no da. It just depends on how I feel when I get up in the morning. This morning I didn't feel like driving, so I didn't!"
Without realizing it, I noticed that we were already outside of the NG building, and were standing in front of a black limo.
"Oh, wow Ryuichi."
The ride to Ryuichi's house was rather uneventful, although, I could have sworn he kept noticing Ryu staring at me. However, I shook it off as just my imagination. We soon arrived at Ryuichi's rather large house.
Ryuichi climbed out of the limo and bounded around the car to my side. I had barely gotten the door open, before Ryuichi was pulling on my arm and dragging me out of the limo. I trailed along helplessly behind him as he ran up the front steps of the house.
Ryuichi bounded up the stairs, unlocked the door, and disappeared inside. I walked at a slower pace and stopped as I reached the still open front door. When I failed to follow him inside, Ryuichi appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. He looked at me strangely for a minute, then smiled, pulled me inside, and closed the door behind him. I stepped through the entryway, into what I had to guess was the living room, and looked around. The marble tiled entryway had opened into the spacious living room. Ryuichi's house was much more elegant than I had imagined, given his usual personality. This only served to remind me of the immense differences between us. However, I shook the nostalgic thoughts from my mind when Ryu spoke up.
"Make yourself at home, and look around if you want to. I'm gonna go make us some snacks, then we can order pizza later, na no da."
He stopped talking and stared at me. I must have had a strange look on my face, suddenly he looked concerned, and also suddenly, he was very close to me. He seemed like he was searching my face for something. I hadn't even seen him move.
"Are you okay Shu-chan? You look like you're upset about something," he said, still peering at me with wide blue eyes.
"Uh, y-yeah, Ryuichi. I was just, well, I was just thinking about what Yuki said to me is all," I finished the last bit quietly, looking down at the Italian marble floor.
When I looked back up there was a very dark look on Ryuichi's face. That was something that I had never seen before. Seeing him like that was unnerving to the point where I was actually glad when he to a step back. He looked away from me for a minute, and when he looked back, his expression seemed, while still a little strained, almost normal. I wondered what was wrong with him. He was acting strangely. Well, more so than normal.
He spoke up again, and his voice seemed slightly clipped. Although it could have been my imagination playing tricks on me.
"Oh, sorry, Shuichi. I'm gonna go make some snacks for us then. If you want to, you can go ahead and pick a room to sleep in for the night. Mine is the room at the very end of the hallway. I have some clothes you can borrow too. Let me know if you need anything else. Oh, and feel free to look around." With that he turned and disappeared into the kitchen.
I stood in the same spot, staring after him for a minute of two. He was acting extremely strange, however, I dismissed it as just another part of his slightly eccentric personality. I decided to do as he suggested and look around for a bit. I mean how often do you get to stay at your lifelong idol's house?
I walked around the room examining the different things inside. The house seemed to be done in a foreign style. European maybe? I wasn't too sure. I glanced at the pictures that adorned the fireplace mantle. There were some people that I recognized, like K, Tohma, Noriko, and Ryuichi himself, then, of course, there were some that I didn't recognize. However, judging by the resemblances to Ryuichi, I guessed that they had to be related to him.
I turned around and inscpected the rest of the room. Two black, leather couches faced each other, with an elegant glass coffee table in the center. On one side was a large plasma t.v., on the opposite double French doors.
Peering out, I saw a large inground swimming pool. I decided to go find a room to stay in, still fighting of my thoughts of Yuki. I was so distracted by my thoughts, I didn't notice the two sapphire eyes watching me.

A/N: Wow, this entire chapter from Shu-chan's POV. Oh well, we know that Ryu-chan can't be quiet for long periods of time, so he'll get his chance in the next chapter. Sorry that this chapter was so short. Review and I'll keep going. I decided to change my pen name, just in case you were confused.
