Chapter Four
As soon as Yuki and Tohma landed at the airport in New York, they took their bags and walked to the car park where the car Tohma arranged for them was waiting for him. He signed his name on the clipboard and handed it back to the man who gave him the keys.
Without talking to each other they got into the car and Tohma drove to XMR. Tohma parked the car and they walked into the building. They stopped for a moment at seeing a poster for the band ‘My Little Eye,’ they were an opening act at a concert tonight, Yuki noted the address of the place, if the concert was tonight, then Shuichi might be there, he is the songwriter.
Tohma was well known in XMR, so the receptionist behind the counter tried to hide the fear as Tohma glared at her. “We would like to see Sachi Shinrai.”
“H-he’s not here.” She stuttered.
“What about Reiji?” Tohma demanded.
“She is also unavailable.”
“Are they at the concert?” Tohma said, glaring at her, daring her to lie to him.
She just sighed and nodded. She watched the two men leave, hopping she wouldn’t get fired for this.
Meanwhile Tohma and Yuki got back into the car and drove to the venue. Yuki felt anxious as they got closer.

Shuichi stood at the back of the concert hall. It was My Little Eyes first concert and they were an opening act. They had practised the song he wrote for them until they were satisfied and now Shuichi was nervous, hoping the audience will like the song.
Reiji had gone backstage to make sure everything was running smoothly. He looked around to see that the place was completely packed and still there were people coming through the door. His heart stopped as he saw Yuki come through with Tohma right behind him.
He didn’t know why they were here, whether they had found out where he was, or…why they fuck else would they be here? He turned slightly, hoping they didn’t know what his disguise was. He tried to calm his racing heart as he fumbled for a cigarette. As soon as he took a drag and the nicotine entered his system, he began to feel a little calmer.
He didn’t have much time to ponder about what he was going to do, he saw the bands manager pointing at him. He looked around and saw Yuki turn his head and look at him. He now knew that the manager was one of Tohma’s minions.
He clenched his fist, and began moving away, Yuki was already pushing passed people to get to him. Suddenly the band walked out on stage and the music blasted, and Nick’s voice blared through the speakers.
(Wicked Game - By H.I.M)
“The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you”
Yuki felt like his heart was in his throat as he saw Shuichi trying to get away from him. Tohma moved to one side and he went to the other. Tohma’s helper stood in the front, so they trapped Shuichi, who was frantically looking around for a place to escape, but he collapsed back against the wall and closed his eyes, he knew it was pointless.
“No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
..with you”
Yuki moved forward and stood beside Shuichi. The younger man refused to look at him, he kept his eyes upon the stage. Yuki had never felt more useless in his life, he wanted to talk with Shuichi, but he couldn’t do it here, it was too noisy. He lay his hand on Shuichi’s shoulder, but the younger man shook it off.
“What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you”
Shuichi was having a hard time breathing. He didn’t think he would ever see Yuki again, and now having him right next to him was playing havoc with his emotions. He knew he couldn’t get away from the man, he would have to talk to him, no matter what. But he had to stay and listen to the rest of the song first, then he had to congratulate the band. He couldn’t just leave, that would have been rude, but after that he would talk to Yuki, tell the man to get lost.
“No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
..with you”
Yuki watched as emotions flickered across Shuichi’s face, and knew that the younger man was going to talk to him, but he knew he would stay until the band had finished their song. He leant against he wall, his eyes never left Shuichi.
“The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'll never dream that I lose somebody like you, no”
Shuichi tried to ignore Yuki standing beside him. He kept his eyes on the band, the audience were going mad, dancing and waving their arms. They seemed to really like his song. It was weird having someone sing a song that he had written. Seeing someone else singing his lyrics.
“
When the song was finished, the audience went wild. The band bowed and left the stage. Shuichi made his way backstage, aware that Yuki, Tohma and the bands manager was following him closely, so he couldn’t bolt. They must know him better than he thought. He had been looking for an opening to run for it, but there was no point.
Reiji saw Shuichi coming, but her smile froze as she saw who was behind him. She tried to move to protect Shuichi, but the bands manager moved in her way to stop her. She glared at him, fully intent on firing him.
Shuichi congratulated the band, with Reiji translating. He declined the offer to go and celebrate and said he would be in touch. He bid Reiji goodnight, telling her he would see her tomorrow. He then followed Yuki and Tohma out of the concert hall.
He got in the back seat of Tohma’s car, and kept his face turned towards the window. He was once again having trouble controlling his heartbeat.
Yuki sat in the passenger seat, he was going over everything he planned to say. He had also brought the ring he had been planning to give Shuichi when he asked him to marry him. He knew he should be waiting for the right moment to ask the younger man, but he didn’t think Shuichi would be giving him another chance.
Tohma pulled up outside of the hotel his secretary had booked rooms for Eiri and himself. Yuki kept an eye on Shuichi as Tohma filled out the paperwork. The three rode up in the elevator in silence. When the doors opened, Yuki took Shuichi’s arm and pulled him to his room, after thanking Tohma.
After the door was shut, Shuichi immediately went to stand by the window, he couldn’t face Yuki. He wanted to leave.
“Say what you want to say, and make it quick.” He said, without looking at Yuki.
Yuki sat on the bed and took a deep breath.
“The person you saw on that video wasn’t me, it was Tatsuha. I was in Kyoto with my father.”
Shuichi stood completely still, his breath caught in his throat as everything felt like it had crashed down on top of him. His mind was blank, how could he have not noticed? What the hell did he do now. His hands shook as he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Yuki watched Shuichi, hoping the younger man would say something. He could see what he had said had a profound impact on him. He raised his eyebrow as the younger man lit a cigarette. Yuki got to his feet, and stood beside Shuichi.
“What are you thinking Shuichi?”
“Well…I’m thinking about kicking Tatsuha’s ass.”
Yuki snorted. “I’m afraid you’ll have to get in line. Does this mean you’ll be coming back?”
His eyes came to rest on Shuichi’s face, and frowned. Shuichi looked like he wasn’t sure.
“Shuichi…”
Shuichi couldn’t look at Yuki, he was very uncertain about what to do. Even though he now knew Yuki hadn’t been cheating on him, he still felt weird. How can Yuki even look at him, knowing he had hired someone to follow him. Maybe that was a sign that he didn’t trust Yuki as much as he should.
“If your worried about what you did, faking your suicide, then don’t be. Only Tohma, Tatsuha and I know. We never told anyone.”
Shuichi couldn’t stand here any longer, he turned away from the window and walked to the door. “I have to think.” He said, before leaving the room. Yuki watched him leave, feeling like nothing had been sorted out.
He wondered if he had lost the younger man, but he didn’t understand why. He had been cleared of being unfaithful. So why didn’t Shuichi jump at the chance of coming back to him. He sighed, leaving his room, and headed down to the bar. He had a sudden urge to get very drunk.
As soon as he entered the bar, he saw Shuichi as the bar knocking back drinks like they were water. Shuichi ignored Yuki as he ordered his own drink, he let Shuichi be and went to sit down. He didn’t want to make Shuichi mad.
