Summary: This is a Suguru center fic. It's not a sweet innocent little hugging kissing one either so be warned. I know the name sounds strange but you will get why it's called this later in the story.

Yuki pulls the letter out of the envelope, and starts to read it over silently, to himself. Everyone in the room sits, and waist to hear what it has to say.

" Yuki what does it say?" asks Shuichi. He sits down, next to Yuki,and attempt to read it. but Yuki moves it away from him.

" Quite" he replies, and continues to read, his eyes narrow, and he becomes more pissed off.

He fins ans and begins to talk with Tohma again " It's Akio....Yes... I'll be there as soon as I am done here... No I t..Ot..Ok.. bye.." he says.

"Who's Akio, and what does it say Yuki?" asks Shuichi.

" Akio's the older brother of a former artist from here," Sakano informs him ' Why would he hurt Suguru. He didn't do anything to him'

" Why did he hurt Suguru?... Do you know?" Shuichi asks, and looks around at everyone wanting someone to tell him somng ang about it.

" That's what I was just thinking, " says Sakano

" Yes it's in the letter here.. and no you can't read it" Yuki says and kisses Shuichi on top of his head.

Yuki, folds the letter back up, puts it into the envelope, and places ir into his jacket.

" I am heading back to the hospital now and I think everyone should go home, there isn't anything else we can do here." Yuki states.

Shuichi gets pissed and snaps out " I t set see why you even opened it here Yuki if yoereneren't going to tell us what it said" .

" I didn't know what it said baka and I am not going to let you read this."Yuki replies, and pulls Shuichi onto his lap. " Now calm down. I know you are upset "

" But I want to know what it says, maybe I can help if I know," Shuichi cries.

Yuki hugs him tighter, and tries to calm him, " No, It wouldn't help you to know this. I don't think Suguru would want everyone knowing what this says. I have to go back to the hospital, so why don't you go home with Hiro."

Yuki is needed back at the hospital, but he doesn't want Shuichi to be alone now.

Shuichi start to protest because he wants to go too, but seeing the way Yuki islooking at him, he decides to do what Yuki said

" I'll call you in a few hours" Yuki replies, kisses him,and walks out the door.

" WhAkioAkio's brother?" asks Hiro.

" His name is Kyuichi, " K tells him then informs everyone that Kyuichi was in a band here, but he didn't work well with the others so he was let go.

" The band broke up after that. He is actually a nice kid, just didn't seem to really want to work. I don't think he really likes being a guitar player that much. Didn't seem to like being in the band much either. I remember that he was very upsetn hen he was let go though.t. Also remember Akio was very mad about it " says Sakano

" Akio was getting revenge because his brother was fired?" asks Shuichi 'That's crazy '

" Yes, it sounds that way," Hiro says " Now come on we should go home. Yuki said he would call in a few hours, and I need to do some things at home"

" I want to go see Suguru now," says Shuichi

" No, He doesn't need anyone else around him now."o reo replies.

"But he's my friend, and I want to help him."

" Then just let Tohma, and Yuki take care of him for now."

Hiro grabs ahold of Shuichi who is now crying hyserically and in no condition to walk, picks him up, and heads door.

After a few moments of silents Ryuichi , who had been silently standing against the wall, finally says something.

"Kyuichi was always nice to me, but his brother. I never liked him. He was always mean" he informs the others.

"I only saw him a few times. He was always growly at Kyuichi about not playing his guitar well enough" replies Sakano .

"Kyuichi plays the keyboard much better then the guitar, and he seemed to enjoy it more too. I don't know why he was ever a guitar player." replies Ryuichi and walks out the door.

" K, and Sakano look at eachother for a minute, then both say " I didn't know he played the keyboard"

~~ At the hospital a little while later~~

Yuki walks into Suguru's room and finds both Tohma and him asleep. He quietly walks over and checks to see how they both are doing.

Yuki leans over and whispers " Don't worry. He will pay for what he did to you. I promise" and kisses Suguru on the forehead careful not to wake him up.

"When did you get here? " Tohma asks

" A few minutes ago... How long where you asleep for?"

" Not long. They gave him sleep medication, and said he will be here for a few weeks....Did you bring the letter?"

" Yes"

Yuki hands Tohma the letter and heads back out the door " I am going to get something to eat for us now. I will be back in a few."

Tohma nods and starts to read the letter, as he reads on his face turns red with anger, and then he starts to cry. He collapes onto the floor, and starts to shake

" It's all my fault"

Someone comes up behind him, kneels down, and pulls him into his lap.

"Shhh, It's not your fault.. It's Akio's"

" He did that to Suguru because I fired his brother, of course it's my fault. I should never have fired him."

" Yes you should have. He was a horrible guitar player."

" I ruined his life. Akio said it crushed him"

" We don't know that. I wouldn't believe anything that asshole says. He was more pissed off about Kyuichi being fired, then Kyuichi was himself. I rather dout that he was crushed. "

" The letter says"

" I'll go talk with Kyuichi myself and see what he says. Maybe he will tell me where that fucker is at"

" Ok, You should take Yuki with you"

" I can handle him myself and am not helpless you know. When I find Akio I am going to rip his balls off and feed them to him"

Tohma turned around and looked at Sakano in shock.

" Sakano I have never heard you talk like that before"

" I know, but no one has ever hurt someone I love this much"

" You love Suguru?"

" Yes, I love him Tohma, and I wish he was my boyfriend. Maybe if I had told him before, this wouldn't have happened. So it's partly my fault too"

" You should tell him that but not for a while. I think it would help though"

Sakano nods and hugs Tohma again.

Tohma jumps up realizing that only family member where suppose to be allowed into Suguru's hospital room and Sakano wasn't on the list.

" Sakano how did you get into here anyways? I told them only to let family member in."

" Oh the guard let me in. I said I was a friend of yours."

" You stay here I am going to go talk to security" Tohma says and storms out, almost knocking into Yuki, who is returning with food and coffee

" Yuki"

Sakano"

" Coffee?"

" Sure, thanks."

" Yuki, I am going to go talk to Kyuichi and find out where Akio is. Then I am going to deal with him. "

" I am going with you to deal with him"

" Ok, but I am going to Kyuichi's myself. I will inform you when I know where that asshole is. Watch Suguru for me."

Yuki looks at him, nod then watches Sakano leave.
