Tests Of True Love

~ Photo spread~

The morning after the concert the sun rose over downtown Tokyo, many people woke going though their normal schedules.

Yuki slept still holding Shuichi close to his body his hair bushed against his face, Touma got up early for a morning walk, since he didn’t need to be at the office till ten that morning he normally met K on his morning walks while taking a break at the coffee shop.

Touma was walking past a magazine rack with the latest music news, a picture on the cover caught Touma’ s eye as he sipped a cup of coffee.

He reached over and grabbed the magazine and looked at the picture there was a page number under the picture of Bad Luck, putting down the coffee he opened the magazine his eyes opened wide as he looked at the magazine.

Touma went in the store and payed for the magazine and left in a hurry and went strait to the office.

K was sound asleep in bed still as Judy made breakfast for him. The phone rang as Judy picked it up after a minute she went up to the bed room, “ Claude honey, phone it’s Touma he needs to speak to you” Judy said shaking her husband awake.

K sat up in bed and took the cordless from Judy, “ Touma what is it?” K asked still half asleep he listened to his friend speak on the other end.

“ What! Okay we have to tell them before they go out and get harassed by photographers.” he said sighing.

Touma also sighed as he looked at the pictures in the magazine

“ we need to have an emergency meeting but not at NG we need to go somewhere that the press doesn’t know about, I know the loft you know where it is right?” he asked in code making sure that just incase someone was listening they wouldn’t know where to go.

K thought for a moment “ of course I’ll go and get the others and meet you there” K said hanging up the phone.

He rushed as he got dressed and grabbed his car keys and left the house he arrived at Hiro’ s place, K banged on Hiro’ s door till he answered the door.

Hiro pushed some hair out of his eyes

“ K what the heck are you doing here it’s only seven in the morning?” he said yawning. K looked at him “ get some clothes on and let’s go already, Touma is meeting us and we still need to get Yuki and Shuichi” K said pushing his way into the apartment.

Hiro didn’t ask any questions he put a shirt and a pair of jeans on.

Finally he and K got into K’ s car and drove to Yuki’ s place, there weren’t any reporters there yet. K sat in the car waiting for Hiro to go up and get the others to bring them to the loft where they could all talk.

Yuki was still sleeping in bed his arms still wrapped around Shuichi keeping him safe, he soon got up and went into the kitchen to get some coffee and began to drink it as a loud bang came from the front door.

Yuki grumbled and went to the door and opened it and saw Hiro standing there “ what do you want this early?” he asked finishing his coffee, Hiro sighed “ I don’t know Touma just wants everyone to go to somewhere for an emergency meeting and we need to hurry K is waiting for us down stairs.” Hiro said standing there.

Yuki nodded his head “ let me just go and get Shuichi then we can go” Yuki said leaving the front door and going into the bedroom.

“ Shuichi get up we have to get going” the blonde said shaking Shuichi awake. The pop star woke his hair was stuck in odd angles as he sat up on the bed. “ what is it?” he asked yawning lightly, Yuki tossed some jeans at Shuichi and a tee shirt.

Shuichi quickly got dressed without saying anything, he wondered what was making Yuki so normal and unlike himself.

Hiro stood waiting in the door way as Yuki and Shuichi walked down the hall. “ Hiro what are you doing here?” Shuichi asked as he put his shoes on.

Hiro stayed silent for a moment “ we have to get going K is waiting for us down stairs” he said as he walked out toward the elevator. Yuki soon followed with Shuichi at his heels, they piled into the waiting car as K peeled down the highway before turning into a parking lot.

Taki sat in Lounge A his band mates next to him each held a copy of Big Pop: band news, they were reading the article that made them all smile at how it would ruin the competition.

Ken-chan smirked as he read “ Hey Taki these pictures are great who did you pay to take them they are so great. When all the fans read this Bad Luck will be dropped from NG so fast that they won’t even know what happened to them.”He said looking at a picture of Yuki laying on the grass with Shuichi.

Ma-kun looked over at the lead vocalist “ I’m also curious” he said still reading.

Shuichi followed behind K and Hiro still holding onto Yuki’ s hand as they arrived at the loft door, K knocked loudly someone could be heard walking over to the door.

The loft door opened slowly Tatsuha greeted the four standing there with a nod “ come on in” he mumbled standing back letting them in.

Touma led them to the living room where Suguru was already sitting near Ryuichi, Tatsuha walked in past the group and sat next to Ryuichi again. Yuki put his arm around Shuichi’ s shoulder as they sat on a small couch as everyone else took a seat.

Touma sighed and tossed the magazine on the coffee table infront of the two, he sat down and looked away from their gaze.

The strange behavior made Yuki feel un easy as he moved his arm from around Shuichi and grabbed the music magazine and read the article, in anger he slammed it against the table causing it to slide a few inches.

Shuichi had read the article over Yuki’s shoulder and had got up from the couch only to sit right back down all his strength had left his legs.

“ I wish I never met you Yuki, ever since that night we met I’ve had to work so hard to keep us a secret and now that it’s out my career and life is over” Shuichi yelled catching everyone off guard as he ran from the group and out of the apartment and down the stairs to the street below.

Yuki went after his lover knowing that he didn’t mean what he said about wishing they never met, just as he reached the bottom step and raced out the door

“ Shuichi... Look out!” Yuki yelled his voice almost droned out by a car horn that made Shuichi freeze in the middle of the street like a deer hypnotized by a pair of headlights.

Yuki ran out into the street and pushed Shuichi onto the median, the sound of brakes screeching filled the air and soon after the thud of a body as the famous romance novelist was thrown back against the ground and rolled a few times.

Shuichi sat up on the grassy bank and watched the car that had struck Yuki drive off in a rush to get away from the scene of the accident.

Hundreds of bystanders started to circle like hawks around Yuki to see if he was still alive, K and Touma had followed Yuki and had witnessed everything that happened on the street.

K quickly pulled out his cell phone to call for help while Touma went over to Shuichi to see if he was alright if he wasn’t hurt in any way.
