Chapter 6: Homecoming

"Eiri, are you in there?" Tohma frantically yelled.

When there was no answer he ordered K to knock on the door down. They entered the residence and searched for the blond writer.

The American contemplated the appalling conditions of the dwelling. The kitchen trashcan was overflowing with beer cans as well as the place reeked of cigarettes and alcohol. There were no signs of the blond anywhere until Seguchi reached the bedroom.

"Dear lord Eiri, what happened to you?" there on the floor sat the blonde man, he had a grim expression, he looked half dead. "Yuki, are you all right?" he knew it was a stupid question, but he was so terrified of the state his brother in law was in.

"K, get in here," Tohma was panicking, "I need your help now."

The American came rushing to assist his boss. If the apartment looked bad then naturally the owner looked worse. "Should we take him to a doctor?"

"No, he's just in shock. Stay with him, I'm going to prepare him a bath."

Both men carried the novelist to the bath. Once there, the American was ordered to step outside, because the keyboardist was not going to share the sight of a naked Eiri.

He carefully undressed the man who seemed to be regaining his senses and help him get inside the bath.

"Tohma, what are you doing?" mumbled the writer.

"Don't try to talk."

The novelist remained quiet for a few minutes, allowing his brother in law to pamper him like a child; after all he knew how much he liked to protect him.

"Tohma, I lost him, and its all my fault."

"Eiri, you did nothing wrong." he tried to reassure him

"Yes I did, I did horrible things to him. So horrible he erased it from his mind. Then he changed, he became empty, so I pushed him away, I thought he was going to come back like he always did, but this time…"

"What do you want me to do? You know I'll do anything for you…" he was already planning the different ways to make the singer pay.

"You are not touching him, do you understand? I'll never let anyone else touch him, not again." The novelist clearly stated.

"I'll do nothing then, you have my word."

After the bath, Yuki was given a sleeping pill and laid into his bed.

"K have someone clean the apartment today, understood? I have things to take care of."

Time seemed to go by slowly for a certain singer. Shuichi has never been a patient person and having to wait even a couple more days was driving him crazy. He also missed Tony more than he was willing to admit. He was rehearsing in the studio when his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Good morning love." Tony said.

Shuichi was more than happy to hear the voice of the man that invaded his thoughts, "Oh, good morning."

"I did it." Tony said proudly.

"Did what?"

"The photo. It's all over Japan, TV, magazines, everywhere."

"Already? I thought you would have a hard time, everyone on the media is so loyal to the all mighty Seguchi Tohma."

"It so happens that I know a lot of them, and most owe me some kind of favour."

"I can imagine the face of that bastard. He must be calling every station in the country trying to pull the story from the air." and he was right, "better yet, trying to shelter his precious Yuki from it, fearing his ulcer would burst and make him puke blood until he died." The singer was clearly enjoying the news.

"Wow, I didn't know you could be so evil. I hope I never get on your bad side," he said sarcastically.

"You have no idea how much pain and humiliation they caused me. I intend to return the favour." so much resent was in his voice

Tony knew he was serious, but he could not imagine the gentle person he knew to turn into a vengeful one. "I'm been called, I got to let you go. I'll see you soon."

"Bye." Shuichi put his phone back inside his pocket.

Now he was pumped; he really wanted to go home

--

The day had finally arrived, Shuichi was already flying over Japan. He was to arrive around ten in the morning, the arrival of the singer was 'leaked' to the media who where anxiously waiting for the private jet.

Meanwhile, Tohma was furious for many reasons. One of them, not being able to pull the news of the singers return from the media. Reason two, now that Eiri knew the singer was returning home, he was determined to make amends and win back his love. He'd groomed himself, trying to look at least fairly handsome to his ex-lover, and rushed to the airport hoping to surprise him, unaware that he was the one to be surprised.

"Good morning this is Emiko, live from Tokyo airport, where in just a few minutes the lead singer of Bad Luck is said to arrive. After living the country suddenly for unknown reasons, the vocalist has been involved in a romance with an unidentified man in Spain. This coming as a surprise to everyone, although the president of NG tried to hide the singers disappearance by saying he was on a vacation working on his music. We have tried on numerous occasions to reach the author Yuki Eiri with whom the vocalist was involved for many years but got no response. There were already rumors of the couple's split. Apparently the cause for the break up: the writer's numerous lovers, which he made no attempt to keep secret,…I think this is it, a plane just landed, could it be…?"

The airport was packed with reporters, fans, Hiro and Suguru, as well Tony. He was waiting as patiently as he could, he knew that the show was about to start. He was pleased to see a certain blond man with golden eyes. Oh those eyes full of hope. Tony couldn't help but feel such rage, but he knew it had to be that way, he had to be there in order for things to work and he wanted it to work, he wanted to see the hope in that man's eyes shattered.

Meanwhile, Shuichi's heart felt like it was having a parade, he was nervous like a boy on his first day of school. he could see all the people, pleasing him.

The plane made its way on the runway until it came to a stop, "Well Shuichi, it's show time…" he said running his fingers through his dark hair.

"…Someone appears to be exiting the plane, and it is indeed the singer Shuichi Shindou of the group Bad Luck, and if my opinion counts for anything he looks hot. What a difference a few months make."

The singer stood on the steps waving to his faithful fans; Tony made his way to the runway to meet the singer.

"…Wait, there is someone approaching the singer, we might have a scoop here people, can this be the mystery man?"

The photographer emerged from the car and was met with his lover's eyes, Shuichi saw him and gave him a huge grin before leaping into his arms, his legs wrapped around Tony's waist, their lips pressed together in a passionate kiss that was making everyone blush. That is, everyone but the novelist, who's eyes had turned from full of hope to full of disillusionment.

"Is that who I think it is? Yes, is the renowned photographer Antonio Cortez, he's an expert at making anyone look perfect, a true genius at photography, always using natural backgrounds in his shoots. Wait the surprises keep coming, I can see the writer Eiri Yuki looking at his ex-lover with another man, dear Buddha this is like a soap opera, what a day this has been."

"Shuichi." Tony whispered.

"UHMM." the singer answered, not letting go of the lips he'd waited days to kiss.

"Not that I'm not…enjoying myself, but…isn't this…too much?" he tried to talk in between the heated kisses, "We are…in public…after all."

"I don't care…I missed you…a lot." the singer kept attacking his lips.

"He's here you know?" with that said Shuichi opened his eyes to find his ex-lover watching how he was ravaging another mans lips. He could clearly see his ex-lover's heart break into tiny pieces. Hell, he practically heard the pieces fall in the ground like shattered glass.

"Purrrfect." the vocalist gave the author an evil grin through his lovers lips and kicked it up a notch. His body rubbing against the photographer who carried him into the car, the fans disappointed, wanting to see more action, started talking about all the things they might be doing in the car.

"He knew I was here, he saw me." Yuki knew that last look, and the act was on purpose.

Shuichi and Tony got in the car and drove off, the singer quite satisfied with the outcome.

"You are so bad." Tony said.

"Oh really? Maybe I deserve a spanking." he perked his ass up teasingly, Tony quickly pulled him back to his lap.

"Maybe you do…"

--

Shuichi and Tony were in one car, Hiro and Suguru in another one. The keyboardist clearly upset about the whole situation. "Hiro, do you even know where the hell are we going?"

"Nope."

"And you're okay with it?"

"Yup."

"Well I'm not, who does he think-"

"Listen you, I told you the same thing I was told, now would you just shut the fuck up?!"

Suguru was in shock; he has never seen Hiro this angry. He stared at the stern expression on the guitarist's face; to say he was fascinated by it was an understatement

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled, but Shuichi has been my friend for years and I trust him, you should too."

Both cars came to a stop in front of a huge elegant house, "Wow, is this where we are going to live?" Shuichi's big purple orbs stared out the car window.

"I hope you like it. I had them remodel the house to your liking."

The four men entered the residence where Hisashi and his wife were waiting; after they greeted the guests they took Shuichi's luggage to put it away.

They were all seated in the living room. It was silent and the four men couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. "Suguru," Shuichi spoke first in an exited manner, "I think you're the only one that hasn't been introduced, this is Tony he's my-"

"What? Your new boy toy? You're such a whore." said Fujisaki rolling his eyes.

The singer's expression changed, his eyes narrowed, "I see that you still think you're some big shit," he walked up to his band mate and sat on his lap placing his hands around the younger male's neck, "let me clear a few things for you. He's my lover and your new boss so he deserves some respect. If you're not willing to do that then you can crawl back into your cousin's ass." he was speaking in a very low voice, Suguru could feel the warm breath close to his ear, "But I'm a reasonable person so I'm going to leave you with some advice, boy, don't fuck with me, if you do I'll make sure you don't ever play again, not even at the local bar, got it." Shuichi gave a petrified Suguru a smile, the coldest smile he'd ever seen, not even Tohma's could compare.

Shuichi took his seat next to Tony as if nothing happened, ignoring the look on Hiro's face. They talked for over an hour without interruptions about the way they were going to proceed. "I'm going to take a shower and go take a nap, would you keep them company for a while?" the vocalist asked his lover.

"Not a problem, go rest. Mizuki will show you the way around."

When Hiro saw Shuichi turn the corner of the hallway he gathered the courage to ask a few things, "What the hell was that? When did he go psycho?"

"He's not psycho, he's just…" even he was puzzled by Shuichi's actions. It puzzled everyone who the former pink haired man could to go from a happy smiling person to an infuriated one, "Look I only know what he has told me about Yuki Eiri. That person did something to him that left him scarred… and that scares me. I don't want him to suffer anymore."

"Are you in love with him?" the red haired asked.

"Very much in love, although I don't know where his feelings are." he sounded a bit saddened.

"Is it true," Suguru finally spoke, "Are you our new boss?"

"I'm afraid so little one."

"But my cousin, he is our boss right?"

"Not anymore, he just doesn't know yet." a faint smile, "Make yourself at home, if you need anything call Mizuki or Hisashi okay?" Tony left the two men to go check on Shuichi.

He found Shuichi sleeping in the room that was specially designed for him, it was a rock star's room and he fit right in. Tony didn't want to make Shuichi feel pressured to anything so they each had their own room even though he wished for nothing more than to wake up next to him. He softly kissed the boy's lips, trying not to wake him from his slumber. "Welcome home Shuichi." was all that he whispered.
