Hey it's me. The reviews that came in for the second chapter where amazing. Thanks heaps. Luv ya all. Enjoy
Chapter 3
Amongst the silence of his apartment and the fact that he hasn't slept for 12 hours Yuki took a quick rest on the couch. After trying for what seemed like hours he gave up trying to write as nothing would come to him. He didn't know what time it was but it must have been about midday judging from the position of the sun high in the sky. It was weird being back after all these years, in the exact apartment, which he left behind. He was almost expecting a pink bundle to just burst through the door any moment and squeeze him till he couldn't breath but reality took over and he knew that, that time was over
Then the doorbell rang and he got up and answered it
'Hey bro' Tatsuha said standing in the doorway. The past two years had done much for his appearance but his hair was longer and he looked more mature.
'Hey'
'Heard you were back. Can I come in'
'Sure' Yuki moved back into the apartment. Tatsuha closed the door and sat with him on the couch. He noticed the silence around the apartment and lit up a cigarette
'So how are you' Tatsuha asked
'Fine' Yuki said lighting up as well. He knew this game. His brother was trying to goad him into saying that he need the brat back, well damned him he was going to breakdown.
Tatsuha continued to study his brother and knew that nothing was fine. He noticed the deep silence, the signs of no other life around: Eiri was returning to the way he was before Shuichi ever came into his life
'Lets go out. I'm starving and it looks like you have been couped up here for hours. Tatsuha stood up and stubbed out his cigarette. 'It would do Eiri good to get out anyway' Tatsuha thought.
Yuki thought he might as well go, besides it looks like he wasn't getting anywhere with his writing anyway. He too stubbed out his cigarette and stood up
'Lets go'

'Thank you very much young man .I need this package to be delivered right away. Its my granddaughter's birthday you see' the old man said as he handed the large package over to Shuichi. He nodded and carefully placed the package on the back of his delivery bike. He secured it and turned to the old man and held out a clipboard. The man signed his signature and Shuichi bowed his thanks before he got on his bike and took off towards his first delivery for the day.
He drove down a busy street surrounded by people and cars all wanting to get to the popular pub at the other end of the street. After what almost happened two years ago, Shuichi never touched a drink ever. The past was behind him. But sometimes he always wondered what would of happened if he didn't get out when he did. He would have never had a chance of rebuilding his life, meeting new friends and even meeting him…
Flashback….
Shuichi arrived at big bells clinic in Nagasaki where he was supposed to spend the next couple of months dealing with his breakdown. He didn't know what he was going to expect but he made a promise that he would get help. Hiro had the foresight to call ahead so he knew they were expecting him. He glanced down at his information and it looked like he was seeing a 'doctor Akito Kazuki'
He made his way to the reception centre where he noticed other people were headed. He opened the door and looked around. There were many chairs around, some which were occupied and a few tables with pamphlets and magazines. A few people looked up as he walked by them but ignored him and continued on what they were doing. He made his way over to the desk and rang the bell. A lady appeared a few seconds later carrying a whole stake of files
'Sorry about the wait. These files seemed to have a mind of there own' when she put the files down on the desk she straightened herself out she sat down in front of her computer and logged in
'Good morning how can I help you' she said smiling
Shuichi handed her his documents which she took and had a look through them. She then typed something in her computer
'Ah yes Doctor Kazuki is expecting you just follow the hall to your left and its room twelve' Shuichi nodded and followed the ladies instructions. He came to room twelve where he heard a loud crash. He opened the door and there amongst a large pile of books was a handsome man a couple of years older then him with navy blue hair and bright green eyes. It had seemed he was trying to get a book from one of the higher shelves when some of the books fell on top of him. Shuichi rushed in and started to help the man pick up the books. The man looked up and his green eyes widened it surprise
'Thank you, these books seemed to not like the shelve very much' he laughed in embarrassment as they both picked up the books and put them away in there correct place
'Thanks again. I am so clumsy sometimes' the guy when around his desk and sat down
'Shindou Shuichi is it' he looked up and smiled when he saw the look of surprise on Shuichi's face
'We got a call a few hours ago about your arrival. I am Doctor Akito Kazuki. Please have a seat' Shuichi sat down on the chair in front of his desk and looked at a picture of a little girl with brown hair in pig-tails and a red and white dress. The doctor traced Shuichi's stare and smiled warmly
'My daughter, Monica. Her mother died when she was one. It is only us two now'
End flashback…
Shuichi stopped in front of a large white apartment complex. His purple eyes scanned the building before he got off and took the package off the back of his bike and made his way inside the building. He re-read the information the old man gave him to find the apartment number 'A-132' Shuichi rode the elevator t floor five and stepped out. He walked down the long corridor until he came to the right door. He could tell it was the one because of all the decorations on the door and the party music coming form inside. He knocked and a moment later a woman open the door
He handed her the package and she signed the received form. She bowed her thanks before closing the door, blocking out the sounds of laughter and excitement. He walked back to the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. He stepped in and the doors closed behind him. As he went down he pulled out his schedule and read his next delivery
'Maki's supply shop, Tokyo' Shuichi read. His eyes grew a fraction larger. Of all the places it had to be there. He walked out of the elevator and towards the exit of the building. He double-checked the address again just to make sure. Yep it defiantly said 'Tokyo'. He sighed before he picked up his helmet and put it on. He sat on to his bike and turned on the engine. He let it warm up first before he stepped on the accelerator and sped off towards his next destination hoping not to run into anyone there
………………………………………………………………………………………
Yuki and Tatsuha walked down the street at a leisurely pace, both having a cigarette dangling from their months. They watched cars go by, people passing them without a second glance. Yuki looked around and saw that all the shops that used to be there were gone or replaced with something better. The little Italian restaurant that he and Shuichi used to go to was closed and a little nick-knack shop took its place
'Have you heard from him' Tatsuha suddenly asked
'Huh'
'Shuichi I mean'
'No'
'He was a real mess when you were gone. I didn't get the full details only that after he went away to get help, he disappeared. That was two years ago'
For the first time in his life Yuki didn't know what to say.
'Do you miss him'?
'Its over now what does it matter. He would have been better of without me anyway' Yuki said. Tastuha knew that his brother was lying to himself but even he could see that his brother was lonely without Shuichi.
………………………………………………………………………………..
Shuichi arrived in Tokyo and drove straight to his destination. He wanted to get this over and done with. Coming back here just brought up to many memories had he took so long to forget. He drove done the familiar streets and noticed the big changes around the city. Shops that use to be there before where now shut down or replaced. Even he and Yuki's favourite Italian restaurant had closed down. As he was driving he looked over the sea of people walking along the street and for a minute he thought he saw a flash of gold but then it was gone. 'No I'm seeing things' he thought as he shook it of and drove out of the street. He arrived at 'Maki's supply shop' and looked at the shop. It was a little shop that had everything from pens to filing cabinets. He walked in and realized the shop was be brand new as boxes were all over the place and shelves were still empty
He walked up to the counter were a lady was working out how to use the new calculators.
'Hello there' she said putting away the calculator. She saw the 'Express Deliveries' logo on his shirt and smiled
'I have been expecting you. I have a package that needs to be delivered to this address' she handed him a piece of paper 'they ordered it a couple of days ago and insisted it gets delivered straight away'
Shuichi looked over the address and his heart sank. Of all the places why did it have to be his old apartment building?
He nodded his head and took the rather small package form the lady. He walked out into the fresh air but for some reason none would fill his lungs. What was wrong with him? It was just a simple job. Just in and out. That's all there is too it. He strapped the parcel to his bike and started up. He took of hoping to get this done quickly but for some reason in new something was going to happen
………………………………………………………………………………………
Yuki and Tatsuha made it back to his apartment after having a nice cooked lunch. Yuki hated to admit it but it was good to be home. They walked up to the door where Yuki noticed a delivery bike parked next to the railing. It said 'Express deliveries' on the side. He took one more glance before stepping inside.
'Well I don't know about you but I'm stuffed. That place has the best-fried squid and dumplings' Tatsuha rambled on'
They made it to the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor. They rode in silence the only noise being the lousy elevator music. The door pinged and there in the door way stood a man with black shoulder length hair and large….purple eyes
…………………………………………………………………………………..
Shuichi arrived at the white apartment complex with nervousness. He knew that he shouldn't feel like this since he knew that he would not be back. He breathed deep and walked though the doors he hasn't stepped through for two years. He took the elevator to the third floor, the same floor he livid on, oh the irony. When it stopped he walked out and to the door '156'
When the package was delivered, he was finally able to breath and a small smile graced his lips. He walked back to the elevator and was about to press the button but realised someone was coming up. He waited a moment before the doors opened and he came face to face with sun blonde hair and a pair of stunning golden eyes
