Chapter 29: Shiawasenaketsumatsu (Happy Endings)

Ryuichi felt his own blade pressed against his throat and he couldn't stop the smile that crossed his face. He lifted his hand and let his fingers brush Tohma's cheek. "Then...do it." He whispered. "I hurt him...I slept with Shuichi. Tohma...Kill me..."

Tohma's face was impassive, the knife in his hands flashed as he moved the blade, slowly trailing it down his neck leaving a long red line. "I thought..." He began slowly. "That I could let you go and you would return to a real life...but now I understand." Ryuichi watched his boss, the feel of the sharp metal against his skin hardly even registering even when Tohma dug it deeper so crimson blood ran down his neck. "I understand how stupid I was to think you'd ever let go of your loyalty for me. Ryuichi...all these years you've been by my side and I have kept you at arm's length...all because I was afraid to hurt you and now...now I see that I've done more damage to you than I ever could have by letting you stay by my side."

Ryuichi felt hope blossom within his chest, he tried to push it away but it was like a fire...it caught and he couldn't seem to put it out. He lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers around the blade in Tohma's hand. "Then you'll..." He began but Tohma slapped him across the face making him bite his tongue. He winced but lay still. The blade dug deeper but he never moved a muscle. He was so confused, Tohma was acting strangely.

Shuichi stared in wide eyed confusion, there was obviously much more to this than he had realised. Yet he was too scared to move.

Yuki sat up and stared at his brother in law as he lifted the blade above Ryuichi's heart. "Unfortunately, this time Ryuichi, you have gone too far...I warned you...I told you to stay away from Shindou...but you didn't listen...I-I'm sorry."

Ryuichi felt Tohma's tears hit him in the face, he stared up at his best friend as he watched the blade fall. He was filled with memories of his time with Tohma, and he smiled as he felt metal pierce his chest...

"You stupid, fucking idiots!"

The scream was a woman's. Ryuichi's eyes snapped open and he saw Tohma being dragged off of him. He sat up and saw Noriko punch Tohma in the face making him cry out. "Nori..." She rounded on him and slapped him just as hard. He winced and covered his face. "Ow! Noriko!" He cried.

"How could you be so stupid?" Noriko screamed, she grabbed Tohma and pulled him over to Ryuichi, they sat facing each other, Ryuichi with a bright red mark on his cheek and Tohma with a split lip. "Now, kiss and make up! I'm sick to death of your arguing all the time!"

"Noriko, stay out of this!" Tohma snapped furiously.

"No! I'm bored of you two doing nothing but hurt each other, I haven't done anything about it until now because I thought you would sort it out between you, but...I was never expecting to see you try and kill him! Tohma, what is going through that thick skull of yours? And Ryuichi!" She turned on the singer who flinched at her tone of voice, Shuichi almost laughed out loud when he realised he looked like a naughty teenager. "You were actually going to let him? You know you could have easily stopped him! Why didn't you?"

"Noriko..." Ryuichi mumbled sulkily, he avoided her gaze feeling guilty. "You know why."

"Men! You can't solve any of your problems without violence can you?"

Tohma frowned and avoided everyone's gaze, he lifted his arm and wiped blood from his lip. Ryuichi took the chance to glance at him and make sure he was alright before turning back to the floor. Yuki stared at Tohma, he was shocked to see him looking so ashamed of himself, all because of Noriko.

"Tohma...?" Ryuichi began, he slowly lifted his head and looked at his friend. "I'm...sorry..."

Noriko sighed heavily and put a hand in Ryuichi's hair, she pulled him to her side and he wrapped his arms around her. "Stop being so stupid, both of you." She said in a tired voice. "I only came because I was worried you weren't eating properly..." She gave Ryuichi an experimental poke in the ribs making him squirm and giggle, Tohma looked over when he heard the nostalgic sound of Ryuichi's laugh. He realised he hadn't heard it in such a long time, Ryuichi wasn't paying him any attention as he tried to get away from Noriko's tickles. The president couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his face, everything else seemed forgotten, even Eiri didn't register for a while. "You are far too skinny, Ryu-chan...you need to eat more...and stop eating junk!" She scolded him sternly and he pouted.

"She's right, Ryuichi, you shouldn't let your health suffer because..." Tohma stopped and blinked in shock. He was merely responding to a usual routine of poking fun at Ryuichi for being under weight, it was almost habit now...

Ryuichi looked at Tohma, his large eyes filled with childish sparkle and slowly he smiled. "Tohma..." He muttered. "You do care."

"I..." Tohma stopped.

Ryuichi crawled towards him his eyes swimming with tears. "Please...don't abandon me again." He whispered. "I'm begging you...don't leave me alone..."

Yuki turned away from the scene with a frown and his eyes landed on Shuichi who was staring at the floor with his hair dangling before his eyes. He clutched at his Keikogi, it was then Yuki noticed the tears falling into his lap. He knelt at the singer's side and let go of his gun, gently he lifted Shuichi's face to his. "Did he hurt you?" He asked. Shuichi shook his head. "I'm glad...Come on, let's get you dressed and..." He stood and felt something tug at his sleeve.

"I-I'm...s-sorry...Yuki..." Shuichi muttered.

Yuki reached out but hesitated for a second, his fingers an inch from Shuichi's hair.

Tohma looked away from Ryuichi and found himself watching Eiri, he was knelt beside Shuichi. His blue eyes narrowed slightly but he felt a tug on his jacket, his gaze returned to Ryuichi who was watching him with an odd look in his eyes. "T-Tohma?" He said quietly, the agony in his voice too obvious and Tohma flinched and pushed Ryuichi from him.

"No." He whispered.

Ryuichi grabbed his Keikogi just above his heart and bowed his head. "I under...I un..." He stopped and curled up into a ball. "Please...don't..." He gasped.

Tohma turned away. "It's better this way, Ryuichi..."

"No..." Ryuichi moaned.

"Tohma!" Noriko put her hand on Ryuichi's back and looked up at Tohma. "Stop it! Please, can't you see you're killing him?"

Tohma turned and looked over at Shuichi and Yuki who were talking quietly in a corner. Behind him Ryuichi slowly lifted his head, his blue eyes empty as they moved from Tohma to Yuki...Slowly he stood. He sighed shakily and wiped his tears away on his sleeve, his clothes hung from his shoulders revealing his chest which Noriko noticed were covered in faded kiss marks...and she doubted they were created by Shuichi. "Tohma." She said softly making the president turn to her. "Have you seen..." She indicated Ryuichi who was looking pale, he blinked at them from wide eyes. Tohma looked the singer up and down and when he spotted what Noriko had spoken of he hissed air through his teeth and grabbed Ryuichi's Keikogi, he tore it from his torso to reveal horrible bruises covering his slim frame.

Ryuichi pressed his forehead against Tohma's chest and gripped his jacket. "Don't bother...with the lecture." He muttered. "I know...what they do to me is wrong. I know that letting them is even worse but...what was the point in fighting?" He looked up at Tohma with tears sliding down his cheeks. "What is the point of anything anymore? Tell me why I should live when you're not even in my life anymore?"

Tohma took a breath and suddenly pulled Ryuichi into an embrace. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Ryuichi...forgive me!"

For a second Ryuichi froze, then a smile blossomed over his face and he flung his arms around Tohma's shoulders and nuzzled his hair. "I'd forgive you even if you stabbed me in the back."

Shuichi slowly lifted his head and looked over at Ryuichi and Tohma. That was when he saw it. Covering the brunets back was a beautiful colourful tattoo of a dragon. It was winding its way up through clouds that looked heavy with rain, he uttered a small gasp and gained the attention of Yuki. "Shuichi?"

"Ah...Sorry...I just never realised Sakuma-san has a tattoo..."

Ryuichi released Tohma and cocked his head to one side when he looked at Shuichi. "Well of course...I use makeup to cover it so that when I'm on stage and stuff no one can see it. Do you know the trouble I'd get into if someone knew?" He smiled weakly. "I'm Yakuza, obviously I have a tattoo."

"But...Yuki doesn't..." Shuichi said slowly.

"Well, no. Tohma wouldn't let me." Yuki replied.

Tohma folded his arms across his chest. "Your fans would faint if you did get one, with all your lovers they would have noticed. It was for your own good."

Yuki shook his head. "I know..." He muttered.

Noriko smiled. "I have one too, but I cover it up with clothes, unlike Ryuichi I don't remove my top on stage."

"There's...so many things I don't understand." Shuichi muttered. Yuki reached for him again and this time he pulled him into his arms, he kissed the top of Shuichi's head making his eyes go wide.

"You don't need to." He whispered. "Just...never leave me again. Be mine, forever."

"Y-Yuki?" Shuichi looked up at his lover and smiled brightly, his happiness shone in his eyes and made them sparkle. He flung his arms around Yuki and held him tightly. "I won't leave you again, I promise."

Ryuichi turned away from the endearing scene, his heart felt empty and he was filled with guilt. He clenched his hands into fists at his sides and sighed. "You had better go then...I...have some work to do."

"Ryuichi?" Tohma put his hand on Ryuichi's shoulder and turned him around. "Come back." He whispered.

"Tohma?" Ryuichi looked up into his boss's eyes and smiled happily. "Of course! I'll never leave your side again!"

"Good, however, I will have to punish you." Tohma smiled, taking the threat out of his words and making Ryuichi laugh.

"I understand, anything you want me to do, I will do it."

Shuichi sat on the sofa, he and Yuki had talked until dawn, the author telling him about his fears and Shuichi confessing everything. They had spoken softly until the sky outside the window had turned pink, now Yuki lay in Shuichi's lap sleeping soundly while Shuichi combed his hair with his fingers, a small and very happy smile on his face. "Yuki, I love you." He whispered.
