Of Blood and Tears

Hiro sat on the next day. He knew Shuichi was doing something to himself and he didn't like it. He hand't even seen him eat in the past two days. He sighed as he went to Shuichi's door. He knocked lightly before opening it. He saw Shuichi's figure curled on the bed shaking in tears. He walked slwoly towards him and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Shuichi....I want to talk to you."

Shuchi looked up at the red haired man his face streaked with tears. "W-what is it?"

Hiro sighed again. "I hate seeing you like this Shu and ever since eyesterday it's beedn bothering me. Why were both of your arms bandaged? Are you hurting yourself?" His voice had think worry controling it.

Shuihci stared at Hiro. Had he been found out? It seemed so. He shook his head in a lie. "No Hiro. I'm not. I just felt like wrapping both my arms." Shuichi sucked at lieing.

"Shuichi...let me see you arms."

Shuchi froze. he couldn't show Hiro now. Not long before Hiro had come in Shuichi had cut fresh wounds into his arms ahich now he clutched to his chest as the bleeding slowly stoped. He shook his head. "I'm fine Hiro. I just want to be alone for now."

Hiro frowned. "You are hurting yourself. If you weren't you would be able to show me your arms."

Shuichi trembled under another sob. "Please....just leave me alone Hiro." He whispered.

"But Shuichi..."

"Leave me alone Hiro!" Shuichi snapped as he rolled bringing his back to Hiro.

Hiro stared at him. He needed to know what his friend was doing to himself. he wanted to know if Shuichi's was cutting his arms. He grabbed Shuichi's upper arm and yanked the sheets away. He wasnt prepared for the sight he saw. Shuichi's arms and bare chest were covered in blood. It seemed that Suichi had even brought the razor to his chest this time.

Shuichi stared up at Hiro wide eyed and pulled his arm away. He couldn't look into his friends eyes now. His secret was no longer a secret to Hiro. The tears slid down Shucihi's face as Hiro just stared at this patheric creature that had once been Shuihci Shindou.

"Shuichi....." tears could bee seen filling Hiro's eyes as he reached out to Shu.

Shuchi slapped his hand away and stood running out the bedroom door. 'Hiro hates me now! He doesn't want me as a friend anymore..' His thoughts ran rampet through him. 'Why would he want me around when I mutalate myself?' He didn't stop running as Hiro ran after him and ran out the front door.

"Shuichi! Come back!" Hiro yelled as he chased after him.

Shuihci could barely hear Hiro as Tears blurred his sight. He stumbled and feel into the mud. He didn't care how the dirt made his cuts burn as he was once again on his feet and running. He ran out into the street in his fit of emotion unaware of the truck that was speeding down the street. It was heading straight for Shuichi.

Hiro ran faster when he saw the truck. "SHUICHI!!"

Everything seemed to be in slow motion as the truck tried to stop when the driver saw Shuihci run out into the run. Breaks screached as Shuichi's eyes went wide in terror. His breath caught and his heart stoped as the cold metal of the truck collided with Shuichi sending him over the hood and the entire truck. With a sick thud he landed behind the thruck that wasn't able to stop in time.

Shuichi felt cold as his vision swam before him threatening to go black on him. Everything hurt now expecially his head. He could hear Hiro yelling and the driver calling an ambulance. He couldn't move no matter how hard he tried. It just hurt to much to move so he laid there falling into darkness with the sound of Hiro's voice now next to him and the distant sound of the ambulence sirens. Then the black voide won and sucked him away from the world.

Eiri sat at his desk typing away when the phone rang. At first he tried to ignore the shrill noise but it worked to no avail. He grumbled and stood grabbing the cursed invention.

"What?" He growled.

"Eiri. Did I bother you?" Came Tohma's calm voice.

"What do you want? I was working," He could tell the other blonde had his usual smile plastered on his face.

"I have some interesting news you might like to know." Tohma began.

"Oh? And what might that be?"

"Mr. Shindou was hit by a truck this morning. He's curently in the hospital. I thought you might like to know this." He waited for Eiri's respone.

Eiri stood in shock. He didn't know what to say to his brother-in-law about this. He grumbled then growled. "You disturbed me just to tell me that?" He hung up the phone before Tohma hand a chance to reply.

He threw the phone down and slumped back into his chair. He tried to continue to write but his muse had gone. He cursed Tohma. Somehow the man knew Eiri still cared for the younger man. He sighed and decided that he would go check on Shuichi knowing he wouldn't be able to work if he didn't.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Shuichi awoke to a white ceiling. He couldn't remember what had happened earlier. He slwoly tried to sit up and felt a stab of pain. He laid back down and sighed as he looked around the hospital room. No one was there except for him. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. It seemed to be the late evening as the light in the room began to fade.

A doctor walked in a smiled. "Well you finally woke up. How are you feeling Mr. Shindou?" She asked as she wealed a cart with bandages and gauze on it.

"I hurt."He replied.

She laughed a bit "Well you did have the nisfortune of have a presonl meeting with a truck. You have a large agsh on your side and a few broken ribs along with a concusion, besides that you are fine." She had been taking care of Shuichi since he arrived.

Shuichi groaned at the thought of getting hit. He looked at his arms to see them also bandaged along with his chest. He closed his eyes as the doctor slowly lifed him so he sat up. She unwrapped bandages that went around Shuichi's side revealing a large stitched gash. He winced at the site and looked away.

"It seems to me that you have been having some issues at home. The cuts on your arm have obviously been there since before the accident."

Shuichi nodded but said nothing. he was tired again from being moved and wanted to fall back asleep.

"I'm sorry about that. You will be able to leave tomarrow. You are lucking you didn't break your neck." when she was done she stood and smiled. "There you go. I will return in the morning to check on you. Sleep well Mr. Shindou."

Once she was gone Shuichi laid back down, with some trouble, and closed his eyes. He sighed once again and felt himself slip into his dreams that he knew would be filled with yuki or the accident or worse...both.

Eiri stood outside the door to Shuichi's hospital room. He contemplated going in and eventually pushed the door open slowly. His eyes saw his ex-lover's sleeping form in the bed sleeping soundly. He had found the doctor that tended to him and learned that his pink haired baka would be fine. He smiled so only he knew he was doing it and turned to leave when he heard Shuichi begin to mumble in his sleep. H leaned against the door and listened.

"Nn...Yuki....please don't leave me....it hurts...stop it....yuki...why..." Shuichi mumbled beginning to shift restlessly in his bed.

Eiri looked away and turned walking back down the hall towards the elevator and back to the parking lot. He couldn't listen to the words Shuichi cried in his dreams anymore.
