Our True
Selves.

Chapter 2

Two men, a dark alley, dirty and wet but not with water.

Red stains covered the wells and the ground, in the middle of the
biggest pool of blood was a female body, both men standing at
each side of the body.

"She was really pretty... Sometimes I hate my job..."

The taller man looked down at his partner; he had that sad smile
in his face that he didn't like at all.

"It's not as if we had any options Shuichi..."
"I know but it doesn't mean I have to like it... She didn't
deserve to die..."
"Shuichi..."
"Ne... I know, it's not our choice, we have to do our job
and that's it..."

The tall man looked back at the body in thley,ley, sadly he
looked back at Shuichi.

"Yeah, that's it... Come on, its time to go back home, Eiri-san
must be really worried"

Shuichi's face darkened at the name, they had started to walk
back on the desert street, illuminated by just few street lamps
or the ones that still worked. Shuichi stopped suddenly, standing
under one of the lamps that was blinking.

"I'm scared..."
"Because of Eiri-san? Did he do something to you?"
"No, it's not that..."

The tall man looked at Shuichi with and concerned eyes.

"You're afraid of his reaction when you tell him?"
"Yeah... I'm afraid he'll hate me..."
"That's not going to happen and you know it"
"I'm not too sure now..."

Shuichi kept silent, a glint of tears in the corner of his eyes.
The tall man grabbed Shuichi by his shoulders.

"Look, there's no way he'll deny you, come on! He loves you
more than anything in this world! And he already demonstrated it
to you..."

Shuichi looked up, small tears in his eyes.

"I hope... In the name of all that is sacred in this world
that you are right Crawd"
"Ok... By the way Shuichi... I already told you to not call
me Crawd"

K frowned looking at the singer who already was back to his
normal genki self.

"But it's cute!!"

* * *

Yuki was already like a caged lion, ok Shuichi had called telling
him he would be back late. But it was 12:30 a.m. and Shuichi
wasn't back yet! What the hell could he be doing that caused him
to be that late?

The writer finished his cigarette and when he was just about to
light another he heard the front door open and then close softly.
Shuichi took off his shoes and walked softly to the living room,
or at least he tried.

In less than a second he was b hug hugged as if he were a 'life
jacket' for a drowning man.

"Yu... Yuki?!"

The blond didn't said a word, just tightened his embrace on the
singer.

"Yuki... I... Breath..."

Yuki released Shuichi but just to take his face n his hands and
kiss him like if there were no tomorrow. Shuichi complied, it
wasn't that he didn't like it but it wasn't normal for Yuki to be
acting like that.

"Yuki? Are you ok?"
"Why are you so late?"

Shuichi opened his eyes wide.

"You were worried?!"
"No..."

Shuichi glomped his lover eagerly, kissing him all over his face,
Yuki was more relaxed now.

"Shuichi... Where were you?"
"I...Called you... Remember?"

Shuichi said between kisses then he stopped and looked at Yuki.

"I told you K-san asked us to stay longer to make some late
arrangements"

The writer narrowed his eyes; he remembered the call but he
didn't like Shuichi to be walking alone at that hour. He wouldn't
admit that openly, but he was really worried.

He took the pink-haired singer in his arms and walked to the
room, Shuichi smiled.

"I think I should come home late more often if I'm going to
be punished like this..."
"Don't push your luck brat..."

Yuki smiled softly before kissing his lover again leaning him on
the bed and forgetting completely about Shuichi being late.

And like the day before, he again forgot to ask the small singer
about the call two nights ago, in fact it was more like Shuichi
distracting him well enough to forget the matter.

* * *

The next morning Yuki woke up just to find himself alone again,
he looked at the clock, of course he was alone it was 11:26 a.m.
Shuichi should e at work by now. He then stood up and did his
morning routine.

He walked to his study with his coffee in hand, his cigarettes in
his pocket but his mind on NG Records.

What are you hiding from me Shuichi?

He sat in front of his laptop. He had written just three lines
since the night of the call; he started to write again.

[She struggled, trying to get free
from the handsome man in front of her. He was too close to know
her secret and she knew that would mean the end of their
relationship.

"Your game is over...brat"

He whispered, she turned to him locking her huge and beautiful
violet eyes with his amber ones.

"Let me go... I don't know what are you talking about...
You're hurting me Yuki!!"]

"DAMN!!"

He deleted everything he had wrote... Again, as he had done the
last five times before, he hated when his pink-haired lover
affected him so much that it was reflected in his writing.

That's it! Tonight he'll have to tell me or he'll end up
sleeping on the couch again!

Yeah... That must work, if there was something Shuichi didn't
like at all was sleeping alone on the couch, the singer was now
so used to sleeping with Yuki's body heat near his that sleeping
alone was something really hard to do.

* * *

"Break!!"

K yelled; he smiled satisfied with the results, his conversation
with Fujisaki had being just what he needed and now the young
keyboardist of Bad Lucs cas calmer but what intrigued him was
what he said about Tohma.

Could he know? If he does... How?

Those were the questions did didn't let him sleep at night, he
had to be sure especiall it it involved the blond president of
NG Records.

"Fujisaki-kun can I talk to you?"

Fujisaki raised his head to look at the tall blond man, he
stepped back, there was something with the American that made him
really nervous and it wasn't the gun he always carried with him.

"Y... yeah... I guess you can..."
"Ok then... Come on"

And again K led Fujisaki to one empty oe ofe of the NG building,
very similar to the others, except that that this one didn't had
a security camera, K noticed how nervous the keyboardist was.

"Fujisaki-kun, why are you so nervous?"
"Uh? Oh... I... I don't know, I just..."
"Do you feel the same when you're with Seguchi-san?"
"Ki... kind of... But I really don't know why"

K sighed and told Fujishe che could go back with Shuichi and
Hiro, he sat on one of the empty chairs heavily.

"So?"

K reached for his gun and pointed to the door, when he saw whom
it was he relaxed and put the gun back in it's holster.

"You should know to not do that..."
"Nah... I know you never shoot..."
"Anyway... He doesn't know"
"I see... He's one of those kind... Like Nakano-san..."
"Him too?!"
"Yeah... But he thinks it's just because you're his manager,
you always have a gun with you and you're American..."
"That's not my fault..."
"I know, but that's how he feels, has Fujisaki-kun said
anything about Shuichi?" ot;Not;No... Seems that his genki self makes the others just
forget about it"

K's companion took seat at his side, looking deeply into the
American's eyes.

"Shuichi is very scared..."
"I know... He thinks Eiri-san may not understand"
"No... It's not that..."
"Then?"
"He's scared because he doesn't want to lose him again...
He's scared the story would repeat"
"I won't let that happen... He can be sure... I can't let
that happen again"
"I know K... I know"

* * *

K hung off and told Bad Luck members that they could go home
early today because he had an emergency. Hiro and Fujisaki left
but Shuichi waited for K. When the blond manager finally appeared
Shuichi stood up from the couch and looked him at the eyes.

"Who?"
"It's a man in his late twenties, no wife, no children, not
very tall, his name is Sahara Yusuke, a drug dealer and if I'm
not wrong he killed an innocent man by accident, not a very nice
life if you ask me"
"I'm not asking, thank you very much... Anyway... Let's go"
"We're touchy today..."
"Sorry about that..."

K looked down at Shuichi, his face clearly showed pain and rage,
he hated this kind of cases, these kind of guys deserved hell or
worse.

"Don't worry Shuichi... I understand..."
