Ok the reason that these chapters are coming so quick is because I wrote the whole thing at once on paper and I just had to type it up. Anyway . . . ENJOY!

Hiro got home in a daze. He had no idea how to deal with this. He's never felt this way about anyone before, let alone a guy. Ya, he was always with Shuichi, but Shu's such an idiot he needs someone to watch him. Hiro just couldn't believe that he felt this way anyone. He was lost. These feelings were running around inside him and his thoughts ran wild. If he let this go on any longer he would burst, so, like always, he bottled up his feelings and corked the bottle that held his feelings for K.

The next day Hiro Was heading to NG wondering how the hell he was going to face K again.

'My heart's going to pound, I'm going to feel fuzzy in my head, I'm not going to be able to concentrate. Plus Shu's going to know somethings up. Kid may an idiot, but he's sharp, . . . at times, and I've got a feeling he'll know if something's up. I've got to act natural . . . . how in the HELL can I do that?!'

Hiro walks into NG still wondering what to do when Shuichi see's him and runs over.

"Morning, Hiro."

"Huh, what? Oh, morning Shu." 'Shit.'

"You ok?" Shuichi was looking over Hiro's face with a worried expression.

'Double shit!' "Ya, I'm fine. Just a little tired. I got home late last night.

"Oh, ok. Well come on. K say's he's got something big to tell us. Let's go!" Seeming satisfied with Hiro's explanation, Shuichi grabs Hiro's hand and starts to pull on him.

"Uh, ok. Hey, don't pull me like that." Shuichi towed Hiro to the stairs and they went up.

'I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead!'

They get to the booth and it's just K. "Hey guys. I've got something to tell ya."

"Shouldn't we wait for Suguru and Mr. Sakano?" Shuichi was confused but Hiro was hoping that they could get this over with before someone noticed that something was up.

"Actually, Suguru is the reason you're here and Sakano is explaining things to Touma."

"Ok, so what's up?" Shuichi was completely calm, but Hiro didn't even realize that he was fidgeting a lot. Shuichi didn't even notice, . . . but K did.

"Suguru's mother got suddenly ill and Suguru has gone to Kyoto to take care of her. K looked at Hiro the entire time he said this. Hiro knew that K suspected, but what was he going to say if K pulled him aside?

'I'm so screwed!'

"Wait, why didn't Suguru tell Touma himself? I mean that are cousins."

"Suguru was in such a hurry he forgot to tell him and he left his phone here at the studio last night and didn't have time to run here to get it." K held up the phone. "He had to use a friends cell to text me and tell me what's up."

"Oh, ok. Well I hope his mom gets better soon. Right, Hiro?"

"Uh, ya. I hope so, too." Hiro tried to pull a smile but K wasn't fooled.

"You ok, Hiro? You seem a little tense. Everything ok?"

'Busted' "Oh. no. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. No big." It's true Hiro was tired from lack of sleep last night, but that wasn't his fault. He was freaking out on how in the hell he was going to get through the day with K staring at him.

"Alright, if you say so. But you know that if there's something wrong you can tell me, right?" K was looking at Hiro right in the eye and Hiro trying to resist the urge to shiver.

"And me, too!"

'Thank you, Shuichi!' Hiro and K broke eye contact to look at Shuichi.

"Thanks guys. I'll remember, but really, everything's fine, I'm just tired."

'Brrrrrrr!' K's phone went off and he took a minute to check it.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Ya, Shu. I'm just tired. Don't worry so much."

"Well, it looks like you're in luck Hiro, because Sakano just text me to tell me that we have the next few days off until Suguru gets back, so why don't you go home and catch up on your sleep. Ok?" K was looking at Hiro as if he were trying to look right into his head to figure out what the heck was going on in there.

"Alright, sounds good."

"Ok, well I've got a few things to do here and then I'm out so if you guys need something just call or text me."

"Alright, see you later K!" Shuichi got up and bounced over to Hiro. "Come on, I'll walk you home."

"No, that's alright. You go home to Mr. Yuki and I'll see you around."

"Well, ok. I'll just walk you to the door, then."

"Alright, see ya, K."

"See ya, and get some rest."

"Sure." When Hiro looked back at K, he was looking at Hiro intensely like he knew something was up. Hiro and Shuichi headed to the stairs when they heard k yell.

"What was that?" Shuichi squeaked.

"It sounded like K."

"Do you think he's alright?"

"Ya, I think so, but I kinda don't want to find out."

"Ya, me neither. I don't feel like having a gun pointed at me today. Come on, let's go."

"Ok." Hiro and Shuichi went down the stairs and out the door.

"Get some rest Hiro, and I'll see you later!"

"Ok, see ya. And be careful!"

"Hey, it's me! Bye!"

"My point exactly. Bye!" Shuichi stuck out his tongue and bounced off as he always does. Hiro on the other hand, walked back toward his apartment thinking about what happened. It was so obvious that K saw right through the 'I'm tired' scam. Hiro only wished that K hadn't noticed.

As Hiro round the corner about a block from his apartment, he was pulled into an alley way and slugged in the stomach. Before Hiro can catch his breathe he's hit again, and on the ground, gasping for air. Hiro tries to get up but his attacker picked him up by the scuff of his jacket and threw him against the wall. Hiro's grabbed again and thrown at a dumpster.

Hiro sit's himself up and tries to breathe. "What the-?"

"Good night." Hiro looks up to see the guy had a 2x4 and before Hiro can defend himself, his attacker swings and hit's him in head, making him black out. Just before he completely blacked out, though, he could have swore he saw the gleam of a gun and and a certain blonde American.
