AN: Wow. I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve updated but I really am sorry. But I guess it’s understandable considering the holidays. First Christmas then New Years and finally on January 9th was my birthday!!! Happy Birthday to ME! I turned 21! I am legally able to drink here in the USA. My big problem is that I have a tendency to get distracted by other things and forget about my story, so sorry guys. Well here’s the nest chapter. Hope you enjoy.
FF: Many thanks to Chocho, YukinaKid, hokage, The Oblivious Captain Anna, clover381325, The Scarlet Rose, snowwhite4444. Arigatou! (bows)
AFF: Thank you everyone who read my last chapter. Review! I need your ideas to fuel my brain. :)
Chapter 26: Home Free
“And you’d be dead if I hadn’t! Will you stop trying to pick a fight with me?” Shuichi yelled, tears gathering in his eyes again. “Stop trying to push me away just because you think we might die.”
“I‘m not picking a fight, you’re just being over emotional. And I’m not trying to push you away. Here, use this.” Eiri stated calmly handing Shuichi a crutch.
“Okay.” Shuichi said quietly, tears spilling over the rims of his eyes.
--------------
Shuichi lifted the crutch and swung it at the window without success. Taking another deep breath, Shuichi lifted the crutch again and swung at the window again with more force. But still nothing happened. “This is impossible. How do you expect me to break a window with a crutch?”
“You broke the TV at home didn’t you?” Eiri said matter of fact.
“Well yeah, but, that was a TV, not a window with water on the other side that I’d rather not have come rushing at me as soon as it breaks.” Shuichi reasoned.
“Whatever. It’s the same thing.”
“NO IT'S NOT!” Shuichi, being overemotional, shouted back.
“Okay, then how you able to summon up strength that you don’t even have to smash the TV screen?” Eiri questioned, trying to move the conversation along and get Shuichi to agree before it was too late.
“Hey, I’m not that weak!” Shuichi shot back, slightly offended. “besides I pictured…” The rest was mumbled too soft for Eiri to hear clearly but a blush moved across Shuichi’s cheeks.
“What?” Eiri asked, raising an eyebrow at what he thought he heard.
“I PICTURED THE SCREEN AS TOHMA’S HEAD!” Shuichi yelled.
Only because they were alone and it was too hilarious to ignore under such a serious situation, Eiri started laughing. Something he rarely does around anyone but Shuichi. As far as anyone other than a select few knew, Eiri was as emotionless as a white wall.
“Stop laughing, it’s not that funny!” Embarrassed at his sudden confession, Shuichi picked up the crutch again and swung hard at the window. The result was a spider web pattern of cracks left from the impact.
Surprised at his own strength, Shuichi backed away from the window afraid it might break open any second.
“Shu, hit it one more time.” Eiri said feeling anxious, his laughter cut short.
Shuichi shook his head and turned to face Eiri, his eyes wide. “But, remember when I said I had a weird feeling, like we might not see each other again? What if something happens and Hiro and Fujisaki never see us again? What if we never see them again? What, what if…what if?” The crutch still in his hands, Shuichi clutched it tight, his knuckles going pale.
Eiri held out his hand to Shuichi, which he took, and placed a kiss on the top of his hand. A blush spread across Shuichi’s cheeks and a small smile broke through his worry. “It’ll be alright, Shuichi. I’m right here. We’ll all be fine. They only way to get out of here is for us to break the window. Because of the pressure we can’t lower the window or open the door.”
“I know but, can’t we just wait for someone to come help us? We can just hang out until the police come right?” Shuichi asked becoming hysterical.
“Do you honestly think anyone knows we’re here except the ones trying to kill us? By the time anyone realizes it’ll be too late.” Eiri said louder than he meant.
“But we have plenty of air and the water isn’t coming in too much because of the wall separating us from the front!” Shuichi said desperately.
Sigh. “Shuichi, we may have plenty of air now but it’ll run out eventually. And I’m sure the cabin will fill completely in time too, no matter how slowly it takes. I promise we’ll be fine.” Eiri said trying not to yell at him.
“Okay.” Shuichi gave in with a sigh. Releasing his hand from Eiri’s grasp, Shuichi turned back to the window and raised the crutch. He swung it back then forward, picturing that irritating smile Tohma always has plastered on his face, until it hit the window.
This second impact broke the picture Shuichi was imagining in his mind along with the window itself as water came rushing inside the limo. The force of the water pushed Shuichi back towards Eiri, who caught him around the waist as the water level rose.
As the car filled rather quickly, Eiri urged Shuichi to swim to the top with the remaining air. Eiri pushed off the floor and tried kicking his legs to follow only to have a sharp pain engulf his injured leg. Keeping that one still, Eiri tried working with just his good leg. Moving with just one was more difficult than it seemed.
Shuichi was keeping pace with the water, trying to ignore the dull sting of the water hitting his wounds. “Eiri, what exactly are we doing this for?” When no response came Shuichi turned his head to find that Eiri was slipping below the water level. “Eiri!” Without any thought Shuichi took a breath and slipped under the water, reaching out a hand to grab Eiri’s arm.
When his head broke the surface and he coughed out the water in his lungs, Shuichi let go of his arm and quickly hugged him, wrapping arms around Eiri’s neck. “Don’t ever scare me like that again!”
Eiri laughed lightly and hugged him back whispering a soft, “Sorry,” before releasing his hold. Shuichi unwrapped his arms from Eiri’s neck and pulled one of Eiri’s arms across his shoulders. Without Shuichi’s help, he would start to sink again.
“How are we going to get out of here?” Shuichi asked trying to stay afloat.
“How do you think, moron. Through the window you smashed in.” Eiri said getting annoyed.
“But why can’t we just open the door? And how long do you expect me to hold my breath for anyway?” Shuichi asked.
“Because it’s a pain in the ass and a waste of time when we have a hole in the window that we can go through. And don’t worry about holding your breath; you have a large lung capacity.” Eiri responded as if saying ‘duh’.
“How do you know?” Shuichi challenged childishly.
Eiri smirked and whispered in his ear, causing a deep blush to cross Shuichi’s cheeks.
“Ready?” Shuichi asked clearing his throat.
Eiri nodded his head and took a deep breath, his arm slipping off Shuichi’s shoulders and his head sinking below the water. Shuichi followed within mere seconds, his head leaving the air pocket and going under the water. Using the side of the car and pushing off, Eiri had maneuvered himself over to the door, clearing away some of the glass still in the window. Shuichi swam over and grabbed Eiri’s arm, giving it a quick squeeze before releasing it and swimming through the broken window on Eiri’s command.
Eiri pushed himself through using the sides of the door and meet up with Shuichi on the other side. Unable to really kick his legs effectively, Shuichi once again grabbed Eiri’s arm and wrapped it around his shoulders. Pulling him along as Shuichi looked around and started to swim in the direction of the surface.
------------------------------
Hiro and Fujisaki were currently sitting in the helicopter on their way to the Tokyo General Hospital. The same hospital that Eiri and Shuichi are supposed to be at. Hiro had fallen asleep, his head lying back against the seat. Fujisaki sat trying to stay awake. After the train conductor, he didn’t quite trust the pilot yet. He sat watching his every move.
-------------------------------
Shuichi kept kicking his legs, pulling Eiri along but he was getting tired from the extra weight. He didn’t realize how far down the car had sunk. Seeing the light from above grow larger in size gave Shuichi an extra burst of speed. Finally breaking through the surface of the water, Shuichi gasped for breath. Eiri released the air he was holding and slowly took several deep breaths to steady his breathing.
Shuichi looked around noting the high cliffs on either side, realizing that’s where they fell from. A frown fell on his face from thinking about it. Who was it that was trying so hard just to get rid of them? Why would they have a reason to do so?
“Hey, you alright Shuichi?” Eiri asked noting the tired and exhausted look on his face.
Shuichi put on his famous smile, however fake it might have been at the time, and answered “Yeah I’m great!” Shuichi himself realized that Eiri looked to be in a lot of pain. ‘He might not be saying anything about it, but I can tell by the look in his eyes.’ Shuichi thought. ‘Eiri’s putting such an effort into making sure I’m okay that I forgot how injured he is.’
“Come on, let’s find the shore and get out of the water.” Eiri said interrupting Shuichi’s thoughts.
AN: WOW! A new chapter. I know, its about damn time right? Sorry again. School, family, work. Life is crazy. But I tried my hardest to make this chapter long. Just like how I did in the beginning. Forgive me now? ;)
