Chapter 9

Hiro leant against the fence waiting for Shuichi to show up. He knew this was the right thing to do. So much has happened and it was high time that they got a few things straightened out. He might not of know what happened between Shuichi and Yuki but he had least had to step in and make Shuichi see reason. But he then remembered the story Mira had told him about the little girl Shuichi was looking after because her dad was in hospital. He sighed. What a difficult situation this is turning out to be.

He continued waiting and as he thought Shuichi wasn't going to show he looked up and saw Shuichi walking towards him. He stepped away from the fence and walked up to him.

'I didn't think you were going to come' Hiro said. Shuichi shrugged.

'I guess you want to know why I have brought you here' Shuichi nodded and Hiro walked past him into the sea of people surrounding them. Shuichi followed and soon realised they were making their way to the centre of the park where the big band stand was. Crowds of people hung around the stadium waiting for the band to play. They sat on a bench behind the screaming crowd and watched the group of people push and shove to get better spots.

'I realise what a fool I was' Hiro said suddenly making Shuichi look at him.

'A fool to have not been able to see how much pain you were in. It never occurred to me that after two years you would still feel the same pain' he then half turned to look at Shuichi.

'But I was wrong. You seemed to be doing much better' Hiro smiled slightly and was surprised when Shuichi almost smiled back. At least a tiny bit of the old Shu remained. Suddenly screams could be heard and they both looked up at the stage where four men walked out and went to stand at their allocated positions. NG's logo come up on screen in big letters and the band started playing.

'I heard about Akito and his daughter' Hiro said watching the band 'I was told he was in an accident and that you are taking care of his daughter. You and he weren't….lovers were you' Hiro stretched the last part, half dreading his answer. It never occurred to him that Shuichi might take another lover but lately he didn't know what to think.

Shuichi just shook his head and watched the band on stage. Hiro watched as well. He had heard this band before. It was the newest hot band NG was recruiting. But after Bad Luck was dropped they have not been able to find another band that could bring in enough publicity as Bad Luck had. Most probably because of Shuichi and Yuki's relationship but now NG was falling down the popularity scale and they needed a way out.

'This is the newest band at NG. Although they are good they don't even measure up to the popularity Bad Luck had' Hiro continued 'which is why I asked you to come here today' he dug into his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Shuichi who opened it up and started reading it.

Shuichi watched the live performance on stage in silence. He could tell this was hard for Hiro. His friend wasn't the same carefree person he had once known. Now he seemed more mature, calmer then before like he was caring a big weight on his shoulders. He was even more surprised when Hiro told him how much of a fool he was for not realising Shuichi's pain sooner. If Shuichi could speak he would of told Hiro there was nothing that could be done. But Hiro was glad Shuichi was doing good and getting on with his life.

I heard about Akito. You two weren't…lovers were you?

Those words continued to roll around in Shuichi's head. Were they lovers. After what happened with Yuki Shuichi thought that his heart was closed off forever but Akito brought him back. Made him see the light. He had always respected and loved Akito but is it real love.

Shuichi continued to listen to the band playing. He could tell they had talent but they were missing something. Something important. He knew that after the break up of bad luck NG's popularity fell dramatically and that they were desperate to hire new bands to build their popularity back up.

'This is the newest band at NG. Although they are good they don't even measure up to the popularity Bad Luck had' Hiro continued 'which is why I asked you to come here today' Shuichi heard Hiro rustling in his pockets for something and pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Shuichi to opened it up and read it.

Dear members of Bad Luck

After many debates and conferences discussing this matter it had come to a conclusion that NG is willing to fully reinstate your contract with us and to dislodge all claims on past misunderstandings that way have occurred.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that may have been placed and hope you will consider your offer.

Yours faithfully

NG Board of directors

Shuichi finished reading it and closed the note back up. He stared at the piece of paper for what seemed ages. After all they have been through. The break up of Bad Luck. The constant misleading publicity at the hands of NG and reporters. Now NG wanted Bad Luck back.

'I know what you are thinking. I thought the same thing a well. Those bastards have the nerve to reinstate us after all that has happened. That is why I thought to tell you first before we even consider' Hiro sighed and looked out onto the stage in what seemed like longing.

'But I do miss it. The thrill of being on stage'

Shuichi looked out as well and thoughts of the time when he was on stage came flooding back to him. He had forgotten the feeling for so long that he never really thought about singing or being in a band again.

'Listen Shuichi maybe we should think about it. Seguchi said…' Hiro stopped suddenly as Shuichi turned to him sharply with anger in his eyes.

'Seguchi is giving us a fair deal. You could come back and we could make this work. Even Fujisaki is considering it. Then we could put this behind us and move on' Hiro pleaded but Shuichi had enough. He stood up and ran away. Hiro was about to follow him but thought better of it. Shuichi needed time to think about it.

Shuichi didn't know what to think. NG wanted to reinstate Bad Luck's contract after all this time. Why now? After he heard that Seguchi was involved he got mad and ran away. 'That bastard' Shuichi cursed in his mind. He ran out of the park and kept running until he was out of breath. He stopped on the sidewalk to catch his breath and looked up to see where he was. When he realised where he had ran too old memories came flooding back to him.

The first meeting.

The first glance.

The place where he and Yuki first meet.

The park hadn't changed that much. Old trees had been replaced with old ones and the new equipment had been placed in some areas. He walked down the familiar path of stone and his purple eyes scanned his surroundings. He felt the paper in his hand rustle and he looked down at the now scrunched up piece of paper. He took it out of his hand and opened it back up to re-read its contents. A gust of wind blew past him, knocking the piece of paper out of his hand. He was about to chase after it when he saw a man bend down to pick it up. A man with blonde hair…

Yuki...

Yuki had to get out of that apartment. If he didn't he would go nuts. After the confrontation with Shuichi his brain was constantly on the go. Those angry purple eyes kept popping up in his head like a constant reminder. He sat at his computer for hours attempting to write or at least put an idea out but alas nothing came to him so he decided that he would go for a walk to clear his head.

He didn't know where he was going but his legs just seemed to have a mind of their own. Like some invisible force was pulling them towards something. After a moment he realised that he was headed to the park.

The park where he and Shuichi first met.

He hadn't been to this park for a long time and noticed that not much had changed. He was reluctant to go but his legs protested. He walked down the familiar path of stone when he stopped and remembered it was right in this spot that he had met the singer. He heard a noise in front of him and saw a black-haired figure coming towards him. The figure stopped and looked at something in his hand. Suddenly a gust of wind blew past him and it blew out of his hand towards Yuki. The figure was about to run after it but stopped and started at him strangely. Then it dawned on him. The person with those expressive purple eyes…

'Shuichi'

Shuichi continued to stare at him in shock. Why would Shuichi be here? Of all places.

He was about to turn around and run the other way but Yuki was too quick. He grabbed Shuichi's wrist and pulled him back around to look at him. But nothing ever prepared Yuki for the look of pure anger in Shuichi's eyes. To ever think Shuichi could have that look disturbed Yuki.

My fault

'Please Shuichi wait' Yuki said almost desperately. Shuichi tried to pull out of his grasp but Yuki held on tighter.

'Please' Yuki pleaded again but Shuichi was having none of it, forcing Yuki to do the only thing he could do: he pulled Shuichi to him. He tightened his arms around Shuichi so he couldn't escape despite his attempts to flee. He rested his head on Shuichi's and pleaded once more.

'Please listen I never wanted any of this to happen' Yuki lifted Shuichi's head up and kissed those soft pink lips. Familiar sensations went rushing through him as he moved his mouth over Shuichi's trembling, soft lips. Shuichi resisted but Yuki held on strong. Shuichi squeeze his eyes shut and after one last push was able to tear his mouth away.

Breathing hard Yuki watched Shuichi look at him with betrayal and hurt in his eyes. He didn't know why he did that but something inside him snapped. He stepped forward but Shuichi stumbled back and before Yuki could stop him Shuichi turned around and ran the other way. Away from him.

I blew it

Shuichi couldn't believe what had just happened. He couldn't believe that the person he would run into was Yuki and to top it all of he kissed him. That bastard.

Shuichi ran out of the park as fast as he could praying that Yuki didn't follow. He stopped at the entrance to the park and tried to catch his breath.

NO…NO…NO

Shuichi screamed in his mind as he rubbed at his mouth trying to get rid of the tingle on his lips. When Yuki kissed him all those memories of happy times came back to him like a tidal wave. Memories he had tried to forget since it was Yuki who abandoned him.

He stood up and looked around. He then remembered he left his bike at Gakudan Park.

'Great'

So reluctantly he made his way over to park, hoping he didn't run into anyone. When he made it to the park the band was still playing because he could still hear the music playing. He ignored it and tried to find his bike. When he found it saw a note attached to it. Shuichi unhooked it and opened it up.

I'm sorry for upsetting you.

Shuichi didn't have to guess who it was from. He didn't mean to run out on him but he was just so angry and now that Yuki kissed him. He was so confused.

He put the note inside his pocket as he sat on his bike and started the engine. The touch of soft lips on his kept creeping back in his mind and he touched his mouth only to pull his hand away quickly.

'No I gave up a long time ago'

He sped away from the park and down the busy street but not before he heard the loud applause coming from the large stadium. He couldn't help but fell a twinge of jealousy. He remembered how he would be up on stage. People from all over the city, even the country would come to see him preform with Bad Luck. The hours they put in to a concert to make it the best. Maybe he should……

No Bad Luck is over and he would just have to live with it just like he had to a lot of things. What's in the past, stays in the past

Shuichi didn't go home straight away so by time he got home the sun was starting to set. He trudged up the stairs to his apartment and opened the door. He was about to set his keys down when.

'Where have you been I have been trying to call you all day' Mira blurted out as he quickly walked down the hall towards Shuichi.

'Why what's wrong'

'The hospital just called'

Shuichi froze

'His awake'

To be continued…

That was a long chapter. NG wants Bad Luck to get back together and Yuki kissed Shuichi all in one day Ahhhh the drama and now that Akito is awake who will win Shuichi's heart. Remember to read and review.
