CHAPTER III – The News

Shuichi’s POV

“What in the hell do you think you’re doing?” Mika shouted at me. I told her that I was trying to be
happy but she kept yelling at me, “You want to be happy by quitting your, pretending to be dead
and leaving my brother? You want to be happy but you’ll let my brother suffer?” What? Eiri? Suffer?
I know he’d thank Kami-sama if I die. His annoying brat will leave him alone for the rest of his
life.

Mika really surprised me with her words but I shocked her even more. “What? Me? Make Eiri
suffer? You’re wrong Mika. No one can hurt him. The only thing that can hurt him is if he can’t write
any more of his precious novels.” Even Tohma was surprised with I have said. He looked at my
manger, his wife and my band mates before turning to me. “Shuichi, I will do as you want…”

Everyone interrupted. “But Tohma…” Tohma got irritated and gave them his death glare before
continuing with what he was saying, “But in one condition.” Now things are getting harder for me.
Whatever the condition is I’ll accept it even if it means he’ll send me to the end of the world.

“What is it?” I asked Tohma. “We will stage that you are dead but after one year of you’ll return
here and continue on with your career. You will also need to face Eiri and settle everything. Plus,
you will not leave Japan or even Tokyo. Understand?”

Wow… Tohma’s conditions startled me. What’s up with me not leaving Tokyo. And Eiri… Well I know
that I have to face him sooner or later and I like the idea of reforming Bad Luck again so I
agreed.

Mika looked at her husband and smiled. With that smile, I know that she knows what Tohma is up
to. I don’t care whatever they are planning as long as I get what I want. Hiro and the others did
not speak of the matter after we left Tohma’s office. We went back to the studio to finish our
latest and last album.

I know that Hiro is not so happy with my decision. I can tell. He partly happy because I’m growing
up and I am trying to forget Eiri but he did not like the fact that I need to pretend I’m dead and
lie to all of Japan.

Things went on with the album as planned. I told my family about my plans. They were a bit
disappointed but they were happy for me because they know that it will help me. As for Eiri, I
continuously gave him my body for the last two weeks so that he won’t suspect anything.

Everything was going on as planned. I took driving lessons, bought an apartment, clothes and a
contact lens. I didn’t change the color of my hair because it’s a part of me. I’ll just tell everyone
that Shuichi is my idol and I’m his look-alike. I’ve seen it on television, it works.

Three weeks have passes since I told Tohma about my plan and we are entering its last phase.
We have just finished a concert and this night, I will die. We left the stadium and got on our limo’.
I had a body double got on a car in front of the screaming fans and he drove fast and banged the
car in a building then it exploded. Before the explosion, my body double escaped from the car
while the already dead body was burned to ashes.


Eiri’s POV

I was sitting in the couch while watching television. My fingers are sore from long hours of typing. I
wondered why that little baka of mine wasn’t home yet. His concert ended two hours ago and then
it struck me. I sat at the couch staring at newscaster with her breaking news.

“This has just come in. Bad Lucks vocalist Shuichi Shindo died in a car accident. He drove so fast
that he lost control of the car and hit a nearby building. The car exploded and everything was
burned to ashes. NG studios, as well as his fans, confirmed that Shuichi Shindo really drove the
car. His band mates also confirmed that he was not on the limo with them. Has bad luck finally fell
upon the Bad Luck? What will happen to one of Japan’s leading bands? And what will happen to his
lover/romance novelist, Eiri Yuki?”

I turned the television off. And tears just fell from my eyes. I didn’t know what to do. My head and
my heart are in pain and before I knew it, I was in my bedroom. I wondered how I got there. I saw
Tatsuha sleeping in a futon beside my bed. My head still hearts and the memories of what
happened wraps my heart in deep pain. The most precious person to me is dead and I never
showed or even tell him how much I loved him.
