So I'm kinda pssed right now. I work on all this in one giant document, and was at around page 45 when my thumb drive it was all on decided it needed to be formatted. I kid you not, Drug Runner is the ONLY thing I can't recover e.e So now, I'm back down to page 35 -.- And in case you're wondering, I've posted through Page 24 on here e.e

And worse, I was almost done D: I was writing this really…naughty scene between Shuichi and Eiri and I can't remember anything that happened between 35 to 50 e.e This was one of my big Writers Block area's in the first place D: And now I'm RIGHT back there e.e

It was cold. The night air was stinging his arms as he stared at the water. Sneezing, he shook his head. "My colds coming back," Shuichi whispered as he wrapped his arms around himself. "It's so cold out here," he cried as he started walking.

The area around him looked familiar. He was close to Eiri's apartment, but he wasn't sure how close or how far.

But his whole body was freezing. If he didn't get back there soon, he would likely freeze and he knew it.

Stopping, he started to laugh. He was already back at the building and hadn't noticed it. "Thank you feet," he said as he ran into the building, feeling warm instantly. Happily he ran into the elevator and waited as it took him to the floor Eiri was on.

Finally he was home. He would be able to run to Eiri, spend the night apologizing for not making their dinner date, than get to have some of the best sex ever with the man he loved. Thoughts of that ran through his mind as he skipped down the hallway to the door.

Digging in his pockets, he pulled the key out and unlocked the door. "Eiri," he called out as he shut the door. Kicking his shoes off, he ran through the apartment, stopping at the door to the study. "I'm so sorry I missed diner," he said as he opened the wooden door. He froze when he heard a clicking sound and noticed there were three people in the room.

"Why are you here, brat," Eiri said as he narrowed his eyes.

Shuichi looked from Eiri, to Tatsuha, than to Mr. K who was the head of security. "I'm really sorry…something came up last second and I wasn't able to make it," he said quickly, remember the last twelve hours. "Please don't hate me."

Reaching into his desk, Eiri pulled out a hand gun and pointed it at Shuichi. "Get out before I shoot you."

He was speechless. "But I love you Eiri…why would I leave?"

"You have till the count of three, faker," he said as he stood.

Shuichi was scared. Faker? What's he talking about, he wondered as he looked at Tatsuha and Mr. K who also had guns drawn. Wait…did he hear me?

"One," Eiri said plainly.

He started crying. "I'm sorry," he said as he fell to the floor.

"Two."

"Please do it," he said as he lowered his head.

Eiri froze. "What did you just say?"

Slowly Shuichi raised his head. "Please kill me, Yuki. There's no way I can make this up to you except with my life."

His face faltered as he looked at Shuichi. Something wasn't right but he wasn't sure what. Something was wrong with this situation. The Shuichi he knew wouldn't beg for death.

"He's a good actor, remember bro," Tatsuha whispered.

Eiri nodded slowly. "What made you think you could get away with this, brat?"

Shuichi closed his eyes. He could barely remember what he had said just hours ago. But he couldn't explain or else… "I don't know. I just wanted Maiko to be safe and happy."

Lowering the gun, he walked around the desk. Without a word he pulled Shuichi up by his hair and dragged him into the hallway, towards the master bedroom.

"Eiri," Tatsuha called out as he ran into the hallway after his brother.

He stopped and looked over his shoulder. "He's wearing clothes that I bought him. He can go back out in the rags he had before," he said as he walked into his room. Without closing the door, he began pulling the clothes off of the scared teen.

"What are you doing, I can undress myself," Shuichi yelled as he tried to pull away. "Let go of my hair," he cried.

Suddenly Eiri's lips were pressed against Shuichi's. As the kiss went on, he continued to strip the teen of everything. Pulling back, he led Shuichi into the bathroom and turned on the shower. "Get in," he ordered.

Slowly Shuichi did as told, adjusting the water once he was in. To his surprise, Eiri joined him. "Yuki," he said as he looked over the naked blond.

"What aren't you telling me? Where have you been for the last twelve hours," he asked in a whisper.

Shuichi smiled softly as he rested his head on Eiri's chest. "Thank you," he cried. "I don't know what has it, but something I was wearing was bugged."

"By who?"

"I don't know…they didn't say," he whispered. "But how did you know about what I said there?"

Eiri smiled. "They used your phone to call me. I heard that part of your conversation before I hung up," he said as he fixed the pink hair. "Were they police?"

He stepped under the showers spray. "No, I'm sure of that. They said that if they heard I told, than they would kill you so…."

"You were willing to let me blow your brains out all over my clean floor," Eiri mumbled as he grabbed the shampoo Shuichi always used. "Well you are going to have to learn a new trick, Shu."

Shuichi was confused as he lathered his hair. "I don't get it."

"What a shock…you are going to play dead. I'm going to kill you tonight," he said with a cold tone.

He froze as he stared at the man he loved. "But I told you…."

Eiri rolled his eyes as he got out of the shower. "It's what you get, brat. Should of learned not to play with fire," he said as he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into the master bedroom.

Shuichi followed even though he still had shampoo in his hair. "Please Eiri, I'm sorry! I had no choice…"

"It's for your sister. Yeah yeah, sing a new song," he said as he pointed the gun at the teen. "A word of warning, if you're blood gets everywhere, I'll kill her too," he said as he fired the gun.

Shuichi fell to the floor.

Immediately Tatsuha and Mr. K walked into the room. "What's going on in here, bro? Why is Shuichi…."

"Mr. K, would you call clean up here? I want that thing out of my apartment before the blood stains the wood under the carpet," Eiri mumbled. "And get these clothes out of my apartment," he said as he walked over to Shuichi.

Both were confused. "Alright, Mr. Yuki," Mr. K said, understanding what was going on. "Tatsuha, why don't you make the call and I'll take care of the trash."

Rolling his eyes, Tatsuha walked out of the room.

Shuichi smiled as Eiri picked him up.

"Pass word to your men. Brat might have other people in there, so I want level 4 security," Eiri added in English as he walked out of the room. Slowly he made his way to the other bathroom and set Shuichi at the door. "Go finish your shower. I'll bring you something to put on," he mumbled as he walked towards his room.

Shuichi smiled as he closed the bathroom door. "Love you too, Eiri."

Ryuichi kissed Shuichi's head while the teen slept. It was decided it would be better if Shuichi diapered for a few days, so he was taken to a safe house in Kyoto. Ryuichi was the only person who offered to take care of the teen, which made Tatsuha sad.

"No one will hurt you, Shuichi," he whispered as he lay next to the teen. "I promise you."

Slowly Shuichi rolled around on the bed, turning away from Ryuichi. "Eiri, please," he whispered in his sleep.

Ryuichi hung his head. "Why does Shuichi like him so much," he mumbled as he closed his eyes.

Tatsuha was bored out of his mind. Because of his Brother's problems, his love was gone too. The lack of sex was starting to affect him too.

Slowly he walked into Eiri's office, falling into a chair before the blond could comment. "Where are they, Bro," he mumbled as he pulled out his phone. "I want my Ryuichi and I want him now," he cried.

Eiri sighed. "Stop complaining and get something done today."

"But I want to have sex with Ryuichi," he yelled. "The guys a God," he mumbled. "The look on his face after I've pressed into him…."

"Too much information for me," Eiri said as he set his pen down. "Just go down downstairs and find someone to have sex with so you can get to work."

Tatsuha started a tantrum like a child as he screamed "I don't want anyone but my Ryuichi!"

Eiri rolled his eyes. "Rather I just put you out of your misery," he said as he shuffled papers around.

"I'm going to go finish those reports," he said as he stood and headed towards the door. "But really, how long are we going to be without them?"

"Don't know," Eiri mumbled as he turned to face the window. "You find out who took Shuichi and they can come back to Tokyo," he said as he stood.

Tatsuha sighed as he opened the door. "Fine, I get it. I'll be in my office with my door locked if you need me," he mumbled as he walked out of the large room.

Finally Eiri was able to take a deep breath. He missed Shuichi being here more than anyone would know, but he wouldn't say anything. He couldn't put Shuichi's life in danger by letting anyone know he was still alive.

After all, even the morning paper reported him as dead. It was always nice having a reporter on the pay roll…now the whole country thought some unidentified teen was dead.

The phone ringing pulled him out of his thought. "Yes," he said as he picked it up.

"Mr. Yuki, there's…hey wait, you can't just go up there," the receptionist said over the phone. "Apologies Sir, a man is on his way through the building. I'll alert security right now," she said frantically.

Eiri sighed. At least it was something to do. "It's alright. Let's see how far he can get," he said with a smile as he ended the phone call. Tapping on the computers key board, he pulled up the security cameras.

It took a minute to find where the new comer was. Finally he found him. "Isn't that…" he mumbled as he thought for a minute. Pulling out his cell phone, he called his brothers pet. "Sakuma, question for you. What color of hair did Shindou's friend have?"

Shuichi quickly took the phone from Ryuichi. "Hiro has long auburn hair, why?"

"Just asking," he said as he closed the phone. Reaching forward he picked up the office phone and dialed security. "Claude, let that kid find his way to my office. He's a friend of Shindou's," he said softly.

"Yes Boss," Claude said as he ended the phone call.

Eiri leaned back in his chair while he waited for the teen to get up to his office. It was probably ten minutes before his phone started to beep.

"Sir, a Mr. Nakano is here to see you," the secretary outside said softly.

He stood as he mumbled "Send him in".

Suddenly the double doors flew open as Hiro entered the room. "You son of a bitch," he yelled instantly. "How dare you do that to him!"

Eiri rolled his eyes as he poured a drink. "Close the doors," he ordered.

"I'm not your employee," Hiro said, narrowing his eyes.

That made him stop for a second. It had been years since anyone had challenged him, so it was a bit of a shock. "Alright then, you don't get to know what happened to Shindou," he said as he headed back to his seat.

Hiro narrowed his eyes. After a second he closed the doors and took a seat before Eiri. "What happened to Shuichi, Mr. Yuki?"

"That's better," Eiri said as he took a sip of his drink. "All that matters is that he's safe."

He was confused. "Elaborate."

"Shuichi isn't dead," he whispered. "He's just in Kyoto hiding."

A weight was removed from Hiro's heart. "Than what was that new cast this morning?"

Eiri smiled as he twirled the glass on the desk. "Shuichi has done something stupid and fell into someone's trap. The only way to get him out was for me to kill him, so I did. And then we had a fake story go out about a dump job."

"He wouldn't fall into these traps if you weren't in his life," Hiro said with cold eyes. "Release him from this organization and he will be safe…he'll be able to have a life."

Eiri was silent. There was no way he could let Shuichi go…he loved the kid too much. "No; he's safe with me."

Standing, Hiro slammed his hands on the desk. "He has to play dead because of you! How the hell do you call that safe?"

"Shuichi stays with me of his own accord. He isn't being forced to stay…he just does. For the most part, no one is stupid enough to try to fuck with me so, so long as he is with me, he's safe," Eiri said as he leaned back in the chair again. "And I won't let him go either."

He closed his eyes for a moment. "So you love him?"

Eiri was silent. 'Do I love him…? Just the other night I wanted to cut ties with him but now….' He stood. "Very much."

Hiro returned to his chair and leaned his head back. "Promise me right now that you will always protect him. No matter how stupid he acts, you will never let him get hurt like this ever again."

"Or what?"

He smiled as he stood and headed for the office door. "Or I will be the one to kill you," he said as he opened the door and walked out of the office.

Eiri raised an eye brow as he turned to the window. "That would be something to see," he mumbled.

The room was dark. A single figure stood before a fire place, staring into the roaring flames.

"Sir," a man said as he walked into the room. "We've confirmed it. Shuichi Shindou is not dead, but here in Kyoto."

The man sighed as he grabbed the fire poker. "Find him and bring him to me," he said with a soft, almost caring voice. "I won't let him get away this time."

Shuichi was bored as he sat on the couch, flipping through the tv channels. It had been two days since they were taken to Kyoto and it was becoming too much.

"…I didn't say that, Tats," Ryuichi laughed as he walked through the apartment. "Oh hush…you could always come over here for the day," he said happily.

Setting the remote down, Shuichi turned to the older man. "Ryuichi, can you quiet down? I can't hear the static," he said as he turned back to the television.

Ryuichi sighed. "Yeah, he's losing his mind. He is really watching static," he said as he reached onto the couch and turned the tv off. "My poor Shuichi wants to go back home."

Shuichi fell over sideways. "Just kill me please."

"Eiri would kill me, Shuichi," Ryuichi said as he ended the phone call. "But Tatsuha is going to come up and have dinner with us…won't that be nice?"

"For you maybe," he mumbled as he rolled off the couch. "I'm bored! This place is boring…Kyoto should be fun!"

He looked away. It was true, he had things he wanted to do while in Kyoto…but they weren't allowed to go outside. "Shuichi, we don't know who is after you and Eiri. So for now you have to remain hidden," he said as he walked around the couch. Carefully he pulled the teen close. "I'm sorry about this, Shuichi. But none of us want you hurt."

Shuichi sighed as he curled up in Ryuichi's arms. "So what's for dinner?"

A knock came from the door.

Carefully Ryuichi pushed Shuichi onto the couch and smiled. "I was thinking you could decide that for us," he said as he pulled a gun from a drawer. "Who is it," Ryuichi said from next to the door.

"I have a delivery for this residence, sir," a woman's voice said from the other side of the door.

Ryuichi smiled as he set the gun down. Turning he opened the door.

Shuichi's head shot up at the sound of gun fire. Quickly he ducked under the coffee table, trying his hardest not to cry.

"What an idiot," a man mumbled as two others walked in. "Find the kid," he ordered.

The sound of footsteps filled the small apartment.

The next clear sound Shuichi could hear as he closed his eyes was a bullet being loaded into the chamber, ready to fire.

"Sir, we've found the target," a man called out, pressing the gun to Shuichi's head.

A group of people walked towards him. "You know the orders," a new man said with a sigh.

Shuichi's eyes shot open as he looked up. "Mr. K," he cried. "Did Yuki send you," he said as he scrambled to his feet. "K, they shot Ryuichi…help him please," Shuichi cried as he grabbed the man's white shirt.

Claude sighed. "Sorry Shuichi, but I'm not here on his orders," he said as he pressed the short needle into Shuichi's neck. "Sleep well kid," he whispered as Shuichi's violet eyes closed.
