Can I be Earless Too?

y10: Ok! New chapter for 'Can I be Earless Too?'! SOOOOOOO HAPPY! I've been on a role now! Oh, people who have started reading Insomnia, the last chapter was posted today so enjoy that!

Shuichi: You've been really stead-fast with this.

y10: Well, I have to. Another fanfiction writer told me that I should finish all of my fanfics before I start writing another one. Well, I didn't listen and post a new fanfic called 'Junjou Romantica 3' but I'm going to at least finish a couple.

Yuki: I don't personally give a shit. It was a break for me from you.

y10: -vein pops- ANYWAY, here we are! Please review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gravitation or Loveless in anyway.

*Line Breaker*

"Do you still love Yuki?" Suzuki asked. Shuichi said nothing.

"I'm positive he does. He was ordered to," Misao said. Shuichi's head snapped up and stared at Misao.

"How do you know about that?" Shuichi asked.

"We were told by K-sensei," Suzuki said.

"Ryuichi ordered you to love your Sacrifice right?" Misao asked. Shuichi nodded. "That means only one thing," She said.

"What?" Shuichi asked.

"You were originally…Ryuichi's fighter," Misao said. Silence. It took Shuichi a moment before the news actually sunk into his brain. Wh-What?

"You're lying, right?" Shuichi asked, laughing at them with no humor. Misao just looked at Suzuki who looked down. Shuichi felt his heart squeeze tightly and felt tears run down his cheeks. "Wh-What? No…Yuki!" Shuichi ran towards the door but was stopped by Misao.

"You can't do this to yourself, Shuichi. How do you think Yuki is going to feel if you tell him you never really loved him?" Misao criticized. Shuichi ripped his arm from his grasp.

"So what? He never loved me anyway!" Shuichi screamed before slamming the door in his face. Misao sighed.

"Why are fighters so hard to deal with?" Misao asked. She heard Suzuki cough accusingly before turning around and smiling at him. "Excluding you, of course." Suzuki just stared at her. "Come on. Let's go stop them before they get themselves killed.

*Line Breaker*

Shuichi was running aimlessly, his only guide the gravitational pull he felt in his chest that grew stronger the closer he was to his counterpoint. Almost there! I can feel it!

Shuichi gasped as that super sonic sound that was only keen to fighter pairs entered his ears, causing him to cringe in pain. I DON'T have time for this! I need to find Yuki! Shuichi ran away from the fighter-unit signal but was halted by two young boys standing before him near the train station. The one on the left had long, flowing red hair and the other had short cropped green hair. The red head glared at Shuichi with piercing gold eyes that appeared like melted gold. Shuichi clenched his fist as the green haired child smiled at him with a certain hint of enjoyment.

"Who are you? State your names!" Shuichi ordered.

"My name is Kaname Itsuguri," The red head stated.

"I'm Shinta Aizawa. It's so nice to finally meet you Bad Luck!" Shinta exclaimed, his face the epitome of happiness. However, suddenly the boy's face grew expressionless, like the wind had frozen all emotion. "We are Ruthless. We are cruel and pitiless," They said in unison. Shuichi staggered back slightly, a cold sweat pouring down his back. They're the infamous Ruthless, the ones who killed every opponent they ever had. I can't believe Tohma-sensei sent them. Shuichi looked down at his injured hand. They're stronger than me without my sacrifice. What should I do? "I command a battle of spells," Shinta said, his voice not carrying in the wind. Shuichi felt his heart began to speed up and held it in fear of it bursting out of his chest. What should I do? Should I call Yuki? But, he's angry at me…

"You should call your sacrifice," Kaname stated. Shuichi glared at him.

"Yeah, do you really think you could win against us without your sacrifice to back you up? You, the last time I checked, are just an average fighter with average skills. It's a wonder how a powerful sacrifice such as Yuki would've been bound to someone like you." Bound… "He gives you the strength you need to fight." Strength… "Ironic, isn't it? A fighter who is useless without its sacrifice. This is such a waste of my time. I can't believe that Tohma-sensei put us in each other's presence. You disgust me." Disgust…

"Do you accept Bad Luck?" Kaname inquired. Shuichi bit his lip. Yuki, what should I do?

"I accept. Automatic systems on."

*Line Breaker*

Yuki sighed as he put out his fifth cigarette in a row. I know he's looking for me, damn brat. Pretty shallow of him to just spout 'I Love You' all the fucking time but then had the nerve to love someone else.

"Tsk." A fighter-unit. It's also nearby…with Shuichi. Yuki sighed again as he walked directly opposite of Shuichi's direction, feeling the pull he felt in his chest tighten painfully.

*Line Breaker*

"I command restriction," Kaname ordered.

"Release," Shuichi said.

"I want matter to bend to my will. I want these train tracks to break every bone in his body. Break!" Kaname yelled. Shuichi panted painfully.

"…Repel," Shuichi ordered.

"Break!" Kaname yelled. Shuichi inhaled sharply as he felt the metal lapse on his arm, feeling something break. He didn't scream, he just gritted his teeth as the band was formed into a constriction on his wrists.

"You're so weak and slow, Bad Luck. I guess Ryuichi made you that way, I'm sure of it." Huh? "It looks like your luck has run out, just as your name implies," He said, giggling at his own joke. Kaname sighed as his sweat dropped. "It's really pathetic thinking that you and Kaname are supposed to be fighters and yet you can't do anything to protect yourself." Shuichi felt his chest tighten. "I'm right, aren't I? You can't do ANYTHING without your sacrifice," Shinta sneered.

"SHUT UP!" Shuichi screamed, begging for release from this torment and to have Yuki forgive him. Shinta's giddy exterior melted to an evil core.

"Incapacitate Bad Luck."

"Yes, master," Kaname said. "Break!" Shuichi gasped as he felt another constriction appear on his neck, cutting air circulation. It was so fast…I couldn't even defend it… "Constrict!" Two constrictions appeared on his ankles. Yuki…I just wanted…to say…

"You aren't defending yourself anymore, Bad Luck? Have you accepted your fate? That's good, I have no pity for you. End this, Kana-chan," He said.

"Yes, master," Kaname said. Just wanted to say… "Restriction!" A restraint appeared on his mouth, impeding him from protecting himself. …wanted to say… "I want this opponent unable to move. I want these metal bonds to arrest all movement. Break!" Kaname shouted, the metal from the train tracks bending at his will and aiming for Shuichi. …I'm sorry…

*Line Breaker*

Yuki felt the force in his chest weaken immensely, causing his heart to skip a beat. Shuichi? He lost? Yuki dropped his can of bear and ran towards the weakening pull that seemed to feel fainter the farther he ran. What the hell is going on? Yuki stopped in the middle of the train station, panting. Looking down, he saw dried blood on the floor. The wind cut his at his fingers and face, making the realization of this hurt even more. They took him back to NG…to Tohma-sensei…

"Yuki!" Misao called across the street. Yuki turned to see Misao and Suzuki run towards him.

"What do you want?" Yuki asked, taking another cigarette, trying to mask the fact that he was bothered.

"Where's Shuichi?" Suzuki asked.

"Yeah, he came after you after you left the house…slamming doors… punching people…giving people ulcers…"

"I didn't give anyone an ulcer! If anything, you people gave me one! And Shuichi-" Yuki stopped midsentence and looked away. "Like I said before, what do you guys want?"

"Another fighter's nearby?" Yuki complained.

"This is troublesome," Suzuki muttered.

"Yes. Very troublesome," Suzuki said.

"What are you two talking about?" Yuki asked. Suzuki and Misao held each other's hands before stepping forward.

"We are zero and we are nothing. We are the beginning and the end." Yuki stared in disbelief.

"Another zero pair," Yuki muttered absentmindedly. Two figures appeared before them. The taller one preferred his hair to cover his left eyes, stretching to his collar bone. The shorter own had his dark brown hair parted down the middle, slightly touching his shoulders. The taller one took the shorter one's hand, holding it close to his heart.

"We are zero. We are nothing and everything." They chanted. Misao chuckled.

"You guys are pathetic. We can take you down in an instant, right Suzuki?" Misao asked.

"Yes master," Suzuki said.

"Get out of here and get your boyfriend, Yuki," Misao ordered. Yuki's vein popped.

"Excuse me?"

"Go. You are not needed here. Right now, I'm betting that Shuichi really wishes he were with you right now. Go to him and stop making him wait," Misao said. She turned and smiled at Yuki. "Don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves." Yuki scoffed.

"Who ever said I was worried?" Yuki yelled. He turned away and entered the train station, towards NG and Shuichi's weakening gravitational pull.

"Oh how touching. Sacrificing yourselves to buy time for a useless fighter and his sweet heart," The boy chuckled.

"Hurry, Kazuki. We need to report back to Tohma-sensei after this," The man replied. So they work for Tohma-sensei, huh? This just keeps getting better and better.

"I know that, Sousuke." Kazuki looked back at Misao. "However, all you are doing is stalling our mission and you're wasting my time. Can I kill them, Sousuke?" He asked. Sousuke nodded and Kazuki smiled. "Yes, master." Kazuki closed his eyes and he became deadly serious, holding his arm out to the side, calling the systems. "I command a battle of spells."

"I accept," Suzuki said.

*Line Breaker*

"Mmmm," Shuichi moaned.

"He's finally awake," A voice said. Shuichi tried to open his eyes but his eyelids felt heavy.

"I can't wait for him to finally wake up and see me," Another voice exclaimed. Shuichi's eyes opened but closed again, his vision was blurry. I can't see. My eyes burn. Where am I? "Should we empty the cage now?"

"No. We should wait a little longer. He fought a hard battle and I want him to completely heal before we empty the cage," The other voice said. Shuichi struggled to move and a searing pain shot through his left arm. He winced, trying to breath and choked. He forced his eyes to stay open and his vision cleared gradually, his eyes adjusting to the liquid around his body. When he searched around, he had no clothes on and he was subdued by chains on his arms and neck, holding him up. However, his eyes couldn't see far but could see two figures in the midst of the liquid but couldn't identify.

"We should empty it," The voice said, worry evident in his tone. "His body isn't used to being under water. He'll choke."

"Very well," The other voice sighed. The first voice walked over to a desk and pressed something. A loud whirling sound was heard and Shuichi felt a slight pull at his feet. The water lowered past Shuichi's face and he coughed as his lungs sucked in breaths of air. The chains cut into his skin as gravity made itself known. It hurts…

"Cut the bonds. Now," The second voice commanded. Shuichi heard something snap and he fell to the bottom of the flask. The second voice walked over and opened the flask and walked inside. "I missed you so much, Shuichi. I couldn't touch you. I couldn't smell you. I couldn't…taste you, Shuichi," The voice said as he hugged Shuichi tightly. The embrace was uncomfortable in Shuichi's position and he wanted to be released.

"Let me-" Shuichi stopped as the person's scent entered his nose, breaking the dam on his memories. He recognized this scent. How could he forget it? He was taught to memorize this fragrance… "Ryuichi?" Shuichi asked, tears running down his cheeks.

"Yes, Shuichi. It's me. I'm back and I will take care of you like I used to. I will love you from now on, Shuichi," Ryuichi said as he hugged him tighter. Shuichi's vision blurred further as more tears fell. The empty space that has been in his heart didn't hurt as much anymore. Ryuichi…he's alive…my brother… More tears fell as he gripped his brother closely and began to sob in his shoulder. Shuichi forgot everything in the moment of his brother's embrace.

"I missed you so much, brother," Shuichi cried.

"I did, too, Shuichi. I missed you as well, but things need to play out before we can be together forever," Ryuichi explained. Shuichi smiled. Forever…I like that… "After tonight…no one will be able to bother you again, Shuichi. You're mine now," He said. Shuichi pulled away from his brother to stare at him.

"But what about the Zero's? What about Yuki?" Shuichi asked, blushing slightly at mentioning Yuki's name. Ryuichi scoffed.

"They've outlived their usefulness. They were only used to prepare you for my arrival. I won't share you with anyone at all, Shuichi," Ryuichi said. Shuichi felt scared. He actually felt scared of his brother! What is he saying? This isn't Ryuichi. This isn't my brother. This isn't my brother that I love! He wouldn't say things like this!

"What are you talking about, Ryuichi? They're people! We can't let them die. They're my friends and Yuki…" Shuichi trailed off. Ryuichi got an evil glint in his eyes. He grabbed Shuichi's throat and began to choke him.

"You are forbidden to love anyone than me, Shuichi. You're mine, not Yuki's. Yuki was tool. He's useless now. You're too angelic to be sullied by anyone. Don't you see? I deserve someone like you and I want you, Shuichi," Ryuichi said. Shuichi grabbed at his brother's hand but his strength was too much. Ryuichi…no…Yuki… Ryuichi released him and Shuichi gasped for, coughing and wheezing.

"I'll create an Earth that will be better than Heaven. I'll create a place that is worthy of your eloquence, Shuichi." Ryuichi bent down and kissed Shuichi's lips. Repulsed, Shuichi tried to push away but Ryuichi held firm to his head, pinning Shuichi. Finally released for the need of air, Shuichi pushed him away and stared incredulously at his brother. Ryuichi laughed. "You don't seem to understand the situation that you are in, Shuichi, and I can be cruel. You're my fighter. You do as I say," Ryuichi said as he pulled his shirt down to reveal his true name upon his collar bone: Bad Luck. Shuichi felt his heart had been tied down, his world crumbling. "Your world is my law. You live for me, and only me, Shuichi…"
