Tatsuha stood outside the room, listening to every word Shuichi had said. He shook his head slowly and muttered, "Shuichi no Baka.."

"Tatsuha san!!!"

Tatsuha jerked and saw Touma, Mika, and K running towards him. He placed his forefinger on his lips, indicating them to be quiet. They looked puzzled but remained as they were told.

"Do shimashita ka?" (What's wrong?)

Tatsuha didn't reply, instead he pulled them to a corner far enough from the room and explained what he had just heard.

"Nani??" Mika exclaimed. "That baka really said that?"

Tatsuha nodded. Less than 10 seconds later, Hiro came running towards them.

"Seguchi san," he panted, trying to catch his breath.

"What's wrong?? What happened?"

"Seguchi san.. the reporters.. they are all out there. I don't know how they got the news about Yuki, Shu-chan and Aizawa, but they are out there now, demanding for some answers. The securities are blocking them from entering the hospital for now, but I doubt it could hold for long." Hiro managed to gush out the words after taking a long breath.

"Touma…what are we going to do?" K's eyebrow arched slightly.

"Sa…( I don't know)(1)" Everyone was looking at Touma, seeking for answers while Touma himself looked absolutely lost for the moment. He leaned against the wall and thought hard. After a few painful seconds, Touma eventually looked up. He looked determined and confident. He smiled.

"We are going to provide them with answers." Touma answered lightly.

"WHAT??" All four shouted simultaneously which caused the nurse in white to warn them to lower their volumes. They looked embarrassed and quickly muttered an apology. 

"I am going to have a press conference sooner or later, so why not have it now? It will save me time." Touma explained. "There are a lot of rumors these days. All speculated by the media. I need to clarify with them." Touma pressed on.

"He's right," Mika voiced out.

"Sa…, K san, Nakano san, ikimasho ka?" Touma adjusted his coat and started to walk towards the lift.

"Arre?? We have to go too?" Hiro pointed his finger to himself, puzzled.

"Matte, Tohma… what do you mean? We have to go?" K frowned.

Tohma turned his head slightly behind and smiled as he replied casually. " Of course, Nakano san, K san.. K san, you are the manager and Nakano san, you are a member of Bad Luck." Tohma replied patiently, still smiling. 

Reluctantly, K and Hiro followed Tohma to the lift, leaving Mika and Tatsuha for a little brotherly and sisterly chat.

'He looked so peaceful, so calm.' Shuichi thought as he stared at his blonde lover. He took his hand, raised it to his lips and place feather light kisses onto the palm before putting it down again.

"Yuki.. onegai.. wake up.." Shuichi whispered, hoping that he could see Yuki's eyelids fluttered open.

When Yuki remained as he was, tears fell again. Shuichi sobbed. He cried and cried until he had no more tears left and finally lay his head on the soft bed and fell asleep on the sitting position.

Tatsuha and Mika entered the private room quietly after talking for almost half an hour at the corridor. They found the singer asleep. Mika meant to wake the singer and asked him to go home and rest, but her brother stopped her and shook his head.

"Let him. He wouldn't want to go even if you practically forced him to." Tatsuha murmured quietly.

Mika looked at his brother again before agreeing. She could see that there was a small circle of wetness on the bed. Without arguing, she turned to leave the room, followed by Tatsuha.

________________________________________________________________________

"Seguchi san, what happened to Yuki Eiri?"

"Mr. President, we've heard Aizawa was the one behind all these. Is that true?"

"Seguchi san, the picture shown on t.v, is that really Shindou Shuichi from bad Luck?"

"Nakano san, you are Shindou-san's member cum good friend, can you tell us what really happened? What about those photos?"

"K san, What is going to happen to Bad Luck? Will the news affect Bad Luck's coming concert in about a month's time?"

The questions came pouring as soon as the three of them appeared in front of hundreds of journalists with microphones and cameras flooding in front of the private hospital

Touma, with every bit of a President's manner, remained cool and calm. Unlike him, the other two were totally taken aback by the questions shot at them.

Touma took one of the journalist's microphones and spoke in an efficient tone, " I believe NG has a lot to tell. We will try our best to explain what has happened and to clarify some incorrect statements published by the media."

Before the reporters could even reply, Touma spoke again. "I cannot give any comments on Aizawa san for now, because the police are still investigating the case."

"But.. We heard that Aizawa killed a triad member, Seguchi san. Is that true?" Another reporter quickly cut in.

"I think I'm in no position to give the comments because the police are still investigating. But the only thing I'm sure of is the pictures published a few days ago were not Shindou Shuichi of Bad Luck. I'm sure that's not him. Right, Nakano san?" Touma turned his head slightly and gave Hiro a smile.

Hiro got the message clearly and started talking. "Uh…. Yes.. that is definitely not Shuichi. He doesn't look like that. Definitely not!" Hiro put more stressed in his tone to convince the reporters. The reporters looked satisfied with the answer and did not probed further.

"What about Yuki Eiri san? Why is he in the hospital? We heard he's injured badly." One of the reporters threw at Touma.

Touma looked guilty. He doesn't know what he should answer. 'Should I say that is it because of Aizawa? But that would expose everything. Or should I say that he met an accident?' Touma played the questions on his head over and over again. He was definitely save by the bell when the chief nurse came out and warned them.

"Please, Seguchi san, you are not allowed to make any press conference here. This is the hospital. It would disturb other patients." The nurse said politely but there was certain sternness in her voice.

"I will have a press conference in two days in NG. I will provide a satisfied answer."

________________________________________________________________________

"Why did you protect Aizawa?" Hiro asked angrily when they were walking towards Yuki's room.

"Touma, I don't know what is your intention, but I think you should give us some very good answers before I blow your head off." K took his revolver out and pointed at Touma's head.

Touma shrugged. "I don't know."

________________________________________________________________________

Yuki opened his eyes slowly and found himself in a strange, dark and cold room. The first thing he noticed was there were bags of blood on top of him. It took him a while to register that he is in the hospital. He gazed down and saw Shuichi's head rested uncomfortably on the side of the bed, asleep, with his hand clamped tightly with Shuichi's. Carefully, he untangled his hand from Shuichi and placed it on the singer's pink hair.

"Brat.." he muttered. He could not help but smile at his young lover. Shuichi looked worn out. He guessed he must have been crying a lot.

"Yuki…." Shuichi mumbled in his sleep, a fresh tear escaped from his closed eyes. Gently, Yuki brushed the tear away with his finger, taking the opportunity to stroke the singer's soft cheek.

"Baka.." he whispered again before he fell asleep.

________________________________________________________________________

Shuichi woke up right after dawn. He blinked his eyes twice, trying to remember where he was. He took 3 seconds to remember what had happened and quickly shot up into a sitting position.

"Itai…" He groaned softly. His neck and his back hurts. He looked at his blonde hair lover, who was still in coma. He took Yuki's and brought it up to his cheek.

"Yuki…"

Shuichi suddenly remembered what the sensei said last night.

"If he could pass through tonight, it will be ok." The doctor's words played on his head again and again.

Shuichi got panicked. He studied Yuki Eiri's features carefully. Nothing seemed to be wrong. But the only thing was Yuki looked extremely pale with lips almost turned into white.

"Yuki…" Shuichi shook Yuki's arm gently. Shuichi swallowed the sudden tightness in his throat. He refused to believe this.

"YUKI!!!" He screamed, tears streaming down his cheeks, shaking his rigid body as he did. "Yuki..onegai… don't leave me, YUKI!!" Shuichi buried his head on the mattress and wept. He mumbled the novelist's name incoherently and shook his head, unable to accept the truth.

"Urusai…Baka Gakki."(Stupid Kid)

Shuichi felt a warm hand on his head and stiffen.. "Kono koe wa…" (This voice is…)

"YUKI!!!!" he looked up and smiled.  If not for his injuries, he would definitely give him a bear hug. Instead, he took his hand and held them tightly in his. He was utterly speechless, his heart bursting with happiness.

"Urusai…" Yuki said again. "I cannot even sleep peacefully. And what is this, don't leave me thing?" Yuki eyed Shuichi amusedly.

A wave of heat rushed through Shuichi's face. Within seconds, his face was as red as a tomato's. "Yuki… you are so bad!!! Why didn't you tell me you're awake?" Shuichi accused, hitting Yuki lightly on his arm.

"You didn't ask…."

"Yuki… honto ni..yokata…I don't know what will happen if you didn't wake up." Shuichi's expression turned serious, his eyes welled with tears as he gazed into Yuki Eiri's eyes.

Yuki sighed. He breathed in deeply before replying. "I was hoping I didn't wake up, so I don't need to look at your idiotic face."

'Yuki doesn't even want to see me. I am a nuisance after all.' Shuichi thought. Suddenly, he remembered what he had said just the night before. His own voice seemed to echo in his head.

'Please wake up..I promise you.. If you wake up, I will leave you alone. I will not be a nuisance to you anymore. Dakara, Kami-sama, onegai.. help me… Help Yuki…' he had said the night ago.

"What happen to Aizawa?"

Yuki's sudden question interrupted Shuichi's thoughts. "I… I… Aizawa-kun has been arrested. He was charged for 2nd degree murder for homicide. I don't know much about it. Seguchi san didn't tell us anything."

Yuki nodded. "So…are you alright?"

Shuichi was startled with the question. "Arre? Watashi?" Shuichi pointed to himself.

"Yes, you idiot. Did you go for any check-ups?" Yuki grew frustrated.

"Uhm… yes. The sensei said I'm alright. Just a couple of bruises on my uhm… you know." Shuichi said shyly. "The doctor has given me some pills to take."

Yuki remained silent as he listened to Shuichi's explanation. There's something definitely wrong with him. Usually, he would jump and scream around. But he did neither. He was being an obedient kid, answering all his questions uneasily, which of course, he didn't like it at all. He knew that brat had something hidden from him and he although he wanted to know what is it badly, but his proud attitude wouldn't allow him to probe further.

Shuichi, at the meantime, was busy thinking how he would tell Yuki about his decision. 'Probably, he will be please. Or probably, he'll flew in rage.' The statement ran over and over in his head. 'Baka….' He scolded himself. 'Of course he will be please. I am a nuisance after all. Tell him Shuichi!!!' his mind told him.

Shuichi was going to open his mouth and speak when the private room's door suddenly burst opened. Mika, Touma, Tatsuha, Hiro, Fujiksaki, and almost the whole of NG's crew burst in.

"Eiri!!! You're awake!!" Mika exclaimed.

"Eiri san… I'm glad that you're awake." Touma stood next to Shuichi and looked at his brother-in-law.

"Ch.. what do you think then? My eyes are opened, of course I'm awake." Yuki hated these feelings. He hated for being helpless and extremely disliked to be stared at.

"Aniki… you just woke up, can you at least be nicer?" Tatsuha sat on the edge of the bed as he said at his brother amusedly.

"Yeah, Mr. Cold as an Ice man.." Hiro added in.

"Nakano.. Omae…" Yuki gave his deadly look at Hiro. Hiro ignored it completely and turned to look at his friend who has been quiet all the while. Shuichi looked …different. He seemed happy to see that Yuki is awake, but he bore a sad smile.

"Shuichi..?" Hiro asked lightly.

Shuichi automatically smiled at his best buddy before getting up from the seat and excused himself.

"Shuichi!!" Hiro went after him.

"What's wrong with him?" Touma asked curiously.

"He's always like that. He behaves extraordinary from everyone else. Give him a minute or two, and I guarantee he'll he back jumping and screaming around." Fujisaki grinned.

Everyone in the room kept quiet. They knew that what was exactly wrong with Shuichi.

________________________________________________________________________

"Shuichi!!!!" Hiro shouted as he caught hold of his arm.

"Hanishite!!!" Shuichi tried to wriggle away. Hiro gripped his hand tighter and pulled Shuichi to a secluded seat in the hospital's park.

"What the hell was wrong with you?" Hiro burst out angrily.

Shuichi said nothing. He brought his knees up and buried his head onto it, shaking his head as he did so, bringing more frustration to Hiro.

"Damn you.. You are going to tell me what happen because I'm NOT going to leave if you don't." Hiro said angrily as he shook Shuichi's body roughly.

Shuichi slowly looked up at Hiro's face. Shuichi knew his friend well. Hiro meant what he said. He will sit next to him for the whole day, demanding for the answers that he wanted.

"Hiro…." Shuichi mumbled and burst into tears, leaning his head on Hiro's shoulder for support as he cried.

Hiro said nothing and let his friend cried out. Shuichi cried for almost 10 minutes before he revealed his secrets.

"Hiro.. Orewa… I ..want to leave Yuki.. I think he would be happier." Shuichi babbled.

"WHAT?" Hiro stood up. He turned to Shuichi and shouted. "WHAT the HELL are you talking about?"

"I… am a nuisance to Yuki.. I always bring him trouble. Remember the last time when he was admitted to the hospital? It was because of me.. and the time when he had a bad headache? It was also me.. I cause him nothing but trouble, Hiro."

"Demo… Yuki didn't seem to mind!"

"But, he did!" Shuichi uttered. "He said that my presence reminded him of his sensei and him and he really hated it. I tried, Hiro, I tried. I wanted to please him. I tried to change myself. I restricted myself from being too hyper but the more I did, the more I irritated him. And I don't know what I have done wrong." Shuichi let the tears fall freely as he whispered.

"He likes you!!!!" Hiro tried to get the message into Shuichi's head.

Shuichi shook his head. "He likes me all right, but that's not enough Hiro.. He's getting sick all the time because of me. Don't you get it?? I don't want to get him any sicker than this!" Shuichi jabbed his thumb at his chest.

"Shuichi…"

"Datte…" he continued. "Datte.. Yuki ga daisuki desu."

"So, leaving him was the only solution you had in mind?"

Shuichi jerked and turned around to see Tatsuha stood in front of him. Shuichi nodded. "I think it would be the best."

Tatsuha grinned. "Then you better ask the person behind me. He doesn't seem to be satisfied with your answer." Tatsuha moved slightly and Shuichi's eyes widened when he saw Yuki on the wheelchair, still with a bag of blood and water tagging behind him. Touma stood right behind the wheelchair, hands resting on the handle.

"As tempted as I am to punch the cute little face of yours, I think I better let aniki to deal with you." Tatsuha turned to look at his brother, who looked furious. "Aniki… if you can't talk some sense into him, tell me. I'll be very happy to help."

"Hiro… Iko…Let's go for a drink. Desperately need a cup of coffee."

"Uh.. Uhm…." Hiro nodded and obediently followed Touma and Tatsuha.

Neither of them talked to each other. After a few painful seconds, Yuki started the conversation first. "Shuichi…. wheel me back to my room."

Shuichi jumped at the mentioned of his name. He was so nervous that he could barely stand up, let alone wheeling Yuki back to his private room. Fortunately, the nurse in charge of Yuki was looking for him. She wheeled him back, leaving Shuichi following slowly behind.

Once Yuki settled in his comfortable bed, the nurse warned him not to get off the bed again. She lectured him for only god knows how long until Yuki got fed up and told the nurse that he wanted to rest.

"Yuki…." Shuichi began after the nurse left the room.

Yuki stared at him. He was furious. He felt like punching the brat's face right there and then. When his brother told him what he heard while he was in coma, Yuki was speechless. He knew he didn't really showed how much he likes the brat, but he cared. He likes him. He only hated to admit it because his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. "Continue where you stopped with Hiro. No… don't. Start all over again."

Shuichi gulped and trembled slightly. "Yuki… ore wa…" Shuichi took a long breath and rushed out the words before he chickened out.

"I don't want to make you any sicker than this. I have always troubled you. From the day I came into your life until today. You got sick because of me. You were stabbed also because of me. I don't want this!!" Shuichi moved closer to the bed.

Yuki listened without interrupting. He wasn't sure how to answer.

"Yuki… Aishitemasu.. Honto ni… You deserved better than this. Dakara.. I think…"

"BAKA!!" Yuki said furiously.

"Eh?"

"You honestly think I fall sick because of you? Let me tell you something. I fall sick because I am sick. Not because of you. Understand?" Yuki barked.

Shuichi nodded his head. "Hai…" he murmured.

"Besides, you're not worth it. Dakara… you don't need to leave." Yuki grinned and softened his voice.

"Demo, you got stabbed because of me! Aizawa.. He stabbed you because you were trying to save me!" Shuichi argued.

"So? What about it?"

"That's why I say I'm a nuisance." Shuichi meekly replied and wiped his eyes.

"Honto ni, you're a gakki (kid). I'm sure everyone would do the same. Even Hiro might do it." Yuki grew slightly frustrated talking him. Perhaps he would just say the magic word.

"Why did you save me then? Was it only a natural instinct of yours? Did I really meant nothing to you, Yuki?" Shuichi clenched his fist by his side as shouted. He was really disappointed to hear Yuki's blunt statement. He knew Yuki did not like him all the while. He's always the annoying brat after all.

"Kotae de!!!" Shuichi challenged Yuki when he did not say anything.

"You really don't understand me, Shuichi. You have been living with me long enough to understand me, you know."

"Arre??"

"I would not do anything if he's not important to me." Yuki stared straight into Shuichi's eyes as he said. "Got what I mean?" Yuki raised an eyebrow.

Shuichi went numbed for a while. He almost did not believe what he had heard. 'I'm important to Yuki?' Shuichi thought. Shuichi sat on the bed and rested his head on Yuki's lap.

Yuki, on sitting position, placed his hand on Shuichi's head and ruffled his hair.

"Wakarimasu ka?" (Do you understand?)

"Hai…" Shuichi nodded slowly as he answered. For the first time after living with Yuki for countless of days, he felt lighter. A smile formed on his mouth as he looked up at Yuki.

Yuki replied him with a soft smile. "Okaeri nasai." Was all he said.

Much much later, when Shuichi was asleep, Yuki traced his finger to Shuichi's soft face and whispered, "Aishiteru..Shu…"
