Hi:) well, I have nothing important to say, except for the damn disclaimer. ._.
Ryuichi: Hi!
Me: oh, hi.:) Will you do the disclaimer for me?
Ryuichi: okay! Aster does not own Gravitation. Okay? Enjoy the story!
Chapter 4: Investigation
Shuichi barely got any work done the next day. Will we really see them again? Will they show up?
"-ichi"
"Huh?" Shuichi turned around to see Hiro giving him a weird look.
"Are you okay? Did you have a fight with Mr. Yuki again?" Shuichi shook his head, "No, nothing like that." Hiro gave him a skeptical look. He looked like he wanted to say more, but a shot whizzed by Shuichi's head, barely missing him.
"Let's get back to work, shall we?" K said, holding his gun. "Yes, sir!" Shuichi yelled, scared for his life. They spent the next few hours trying to record the same song over and over again.
"It's obvious Shuichi doesn't have his head in the music; let's just call it a day and go home." Suguru suggested as he turned off his equipment. Hiro nodded, "Yeah, I have a date with Ayaka. See you all tomorrow." "Bye Hiro." Shuichi called as he took out his phone and sent a text to Yuki.
Were done for today.
A few minutes later, he got a reply.
Brat, don't mess this up.
Shuichi sighed and left the building. He headed to the place where he first saw the boy. This is where I bumped into him. Shuichi waited a few minutes, but the boy didn't show. He tried the store he saw him in front of and even the store they had hid in, but he didn't see him anywhere. Damn. Shuichi called Yuki.
"What? Did you find them yet?"
"No, no luck; how about you?"
"No."
"Yuki, what if we can't find him?"
"Don't be stupid; we'll find them."
"Okay."
"Meet me at the park; we'll think of something there."
"Okay, I love you, Yuki. Bye." He heard the click on the other end and sighed again.
At the park Shuichi curled up on a bench and waited for Yuki. Then, he heard an instrument, a flute. Someone was playing a soft melody that seemed so fragile that if someone spoke, the spell would be broken. It was getting dark, but Shuichi followed the tune anyways. He stopped a few yards away from a girl who was sitting on the ground, her back to him. She was wearing an orange hoodie, Shuichi's orange hoodie. He quickly got out his phone and dialed Yuki's number.
"What is it brat? I'm almost the-"
"Yuki, I found her; she's in the park."
"You sure?"
"Yuki, she's wearing my jacket. I'm sure."
"Alright, I'll see you in a few minutes. Don't get caught and don't lose her." Yuki hung up the phone. Shuichi continued to watch the girl. Her music is so beautiful. He closed his eyes and let himself get lost in the notes.
Suddenly, he felt a hand come down on his shoulder. Shuichi jumped and turned around to see who had caught him, ready to scream if necessary. Yuki gave him a you-better-keep-quiet-brat glare and Shuichi nodded. He turned back to the girl, who had stopped playing and had her head between her knees. Her shoulders shook slightly.
She's crying, Shuichi realized. He watched as the girl continued to cry, with no one around to comfort her. Shuichi had an unexplainable urge to run to the girl, hug her and tell her that everything was going to be fine. I can't, Yuki would get angry. Yuki and Shuichi continued to watch the girl in silence.
After five minutes, Shuichi couldn't watch anymore. He maneuvered out of Yuki's grasp and started to run to the sobbing girl. But Yuki was faster; he grabbed Shuichi by the waist and pulled him back. Before he could shout, he placed a hand over his mouth. They struggled until they heard a twig snap.
"Suki?" the boy appeared from the trees in front of the girl. He ran over and knelt in front of the girl. The girl, Suki, looked up. "Nii-chan." She sobbed and rubbed her face, trying to hide that she had been crying.
"Suki." He said again and pulled her into a hug. "It's going to be okay. We're going to get through this. We'll find a way back home, I promise." He kissed her head and rocked her slightly.
"I want to see Mama and Papa." Suki sobbed into his chest. "I know, I do too." He stood up, "Come on, let's go back to the apartment; we can't stay out here all night." He held out his hand and she took it. Shuichi turned to Yuki. "Should we follow them?" he mouthed to him. Yuki nodded and they did. They made sure to stay far away enough to not be spotted.
They followed the siblings for a short while until they finally stopped in front of a rundown apartment building. Shuichi and Yuki hid behind a car and strained to hear their conversation.
"Nii-chan, what do we do now?" Suki looked up at her brother with red eyes; he stared back.
"Invite them in." he walked toward the car and peered over the trunk. Yuki and Shuichi froze.
The boy smirked, "Are you just going to hide there like a couple of stalkers or would you like to come in for some coffee?"

Yuki: you know how I know your story sucks?
