When the
visions around you

Bring tears
to your eyes

And all that
surround you

Are secrets
and lies

I�ll be your
strength

I�ll give you
hope

Keeping your
faith when it�s gone

The one you
should call

Was standing
here all along

And I will
take you in my arms

And hold you
right where you belong

�Til the day
my life is through

This I
promise you

This I
promise you

Promise You�, by *NSYNC, No Strings

(Last Time)

The elevator
slowed as it came to his floor.� Shuichi
pushed away from the back wall as he heard the familiar ping.� The doors slid open and he stepped out when
Jacob indicated it was alright to proceed.�
He started down the hall towards the apartment he shared with Eiri and their
son when the door to what used to be Chosokabe Kita-san�s apartment just this
morning opened and out stepped a man who had to be at least Hiro�s height.

Jacob came to
a sudden halt before him and held out an arm, which forced Shuichi to stop.

�Aah!� Hello!�
You must be, Shindou-san,� the man greeted with a wide toothy grin when
he spotted Shuichi.

Shuichi
forced himself to smile at the man.�
�Hello,� he returned with a small voice.�
He felt his smile waver.� The man
had a pale complexion, but not like Eiri�s.�
It was more of a sickly paleness.�
Almost as if the man could keel over at any moment.� The narrow eyes the color of mud seemed to
bore deeply into Shuichi�s.� An
abnormally large nose took up most of his long face.� Shuichi found himself taking several steps
backwards away from the guy.

�I�m Rinjin
Yasashii,� the man introduced.� He
stepped forward.� �I�m your new
neighbor.� Nice to meet you.�

Shuichi
stared at that hand with those white skeletal digits Yasashii was holding out
to him.� A wave of fear washed over
him.� He could not explain it, but he did
not like this guy.� Not one bit.� There was something about him.� But thinking he was being ridiculous, for he
did not even know the man, Shuichi tentatively stepped forward and shook the
man�s proffered hand.� Yasashii�s clammy,
wraith-like fingers closed around his and Shuichi fought against the impulse to
pull his hand back and race into his apartment to sterilize it.� Instead, he remained where he was with a
forced smile on his face.� �N-nice to
meet you too�Rinjin-san.�

Chapter
1: Is it Paranoia?

Paranoid.

They told me I should not worry about it, that he was
probably just another �obsessed fan�.� I was
not so sure about that, but they reminded me that in the decade I have been in
the music business, I have had countless fans just like him, fans so overtly
obsessed.

I hate to admit it, but they are right.� Some have even been downright clinically insane.� I had been chased, mulled and stalked in
almost every way, shape and form from everyone from fanatical groupies,
conservative traditionalists, angry parents who think I am �corrupting� their
young children, to the most obvious people: the damn media.� I have seen my share of scandals.� I even have several restraining orders
against said people.� You name it.� I have been through it all.

Therefore, yeah, I could see their point.� I mean, this person has done nothing even the
most remotely threatening.� I have not
received any phone calls, nor have I received any letters or packages.� He has not been cornering me, begging and
threatening me to go out with him.� No,
this person was the perfect gentleman, a very good friend and neighbor.

Did I say �neighbor�?�
Oh, yeah.� The person whom
everyone was telling me I had nothing to worry about lives right down the hall
from the apartment I share with my long time boyfriend Uesugi Eiri.

Rinjin Yasashii was aptly named.� He was the gentle neighbor.� He never made any noise, never had his
television or radio on too high.� He
never had any parties that got too loud and out of control.� If any of his neighbors got too loud and
rowdy, or bothered him in any way, he would very kindly ask them to please keep
it down. �He was the ideal person to have
as a neighbor but that was the problem.�
He was too perfect.

Why then, do you ask am I being paranoid of a man that
was seemingly the ideal person to live next door?� I have absolutely no idea to tell you the
truth, but from the moment I stared into his midnight blue eyes and shook that
warm, silkily soft hand when he moved in our building a month ago, the guy has
just plain given me with creeps.

Stupid, right?�
Probably, but I cannot help it!�
This Rinjin guy always just happens to be wherever I am.

�What a
coincidence,� he would laugh huskily.

Uh huh.� Yeah,
right.� If you believe that, I have a
bridge to sell you.

Rinjin-san just happened to score tickets to
every concert and appearance Bad Luck did.�
He just happened to have backstage passes to all of our
concerts.� He just happened to
leave and return from work at exactly the same time I did every single
day.� Even when I overslept or had to go
into the studio early or when I got home late?

�Come on,
Shu,� Nakano Hiroshi, my best friend
told me when I spoke to him about my creepy neighbor, �don't be so paranoid.� I think
you're reading too much into this.�

�But Hiro��

�Maybe the
guy has the hots for you or something and is just afraid of saying
anything.�� He shrugged.� �Anyway, the guy hasn't done anything,
right?�

�Well, yeah,
but��

�Coincidence,
Shu-chan,� Eiri told me when I spoke
to me.

Coincidence?�
Bull fucking shit.

Rinjin Yasashii-san made my skin crawl.� He gave me the heebie-jeebies.� Every time I came within three meters of the
guy, I have a panic attack.� My mouth
dries.� I cannot breathe and I start
sweating buckets.� For the life of me, I
cannot explain why I always become like this around this guy!� He really is nice, kind, and gentle.� He is a good friend, but�If I were a woman
they would call it woman's intuition, right?�
Well, my intuition is telling me he is up to no good and it is only a
matter of time before the shit hits the fan, but until then, I am trying to
heed the advice from Hiro and Eiri.� I am
trying to make myself believe that this �gentle neighbor� meant me no harm and
that I was only being paranoid but I was soon to find out just how right I was�

---TBC---

Preview:� Promises in the Dark

A/N:� I know.�
I know.� Short, right?� Trust me.�
It�ll be worth it.� Besides that,
going back over this so I can add Riku isn�t an easy task let me tell you
because I�m essentially rewriting the story.�
So, please excuse if there are a few times when it�s obvious that Riku
is an add in.� Other than that, what do
you think so far?

Oh!� And for those who haven�t read the prequels,
please do so.� This story as well as
�Because of You� (the sequel) will make more sense.� It�s all interwoven and connected.� First, it�s �Parental Revenge�, �Give in To
Me�, �My Heart Beats Like a Drum�, �This I Promise You� and then �Because of
You�.
