Welcome to Gaia! ::

After many years of being a married couple, Yuki and Shuichi have decided to go on an official honeymoon. No work for either one of them for two whole weeks!

When Shuichi requested the time off and the reasoning why, everyone was very happy that for once in his life Shuichi was making a mature decision.

But, when Yuki went to this publisher to request the time off along with the reasoning, the Publisher thought that this was "good stuff" and demanded that Yuki write a novel about it. This got Yuki so angry, that Yuki shot his boss without regret.

(It is)

Yuki turned to see his lover standing there, not sure what to think. Was Shuichi betraying him by saying something?

Unsure of what to do, Yuki dashed out of sight trying to hide some guilt, trying to get away from Shuichi who may have just sentenced Yuki for murder without thinking of it, and third, he needed some time to think.

Yuki had fled to a place where he had felt some comfort and solace, though it didn't erase the feelings he had for Shuichi. He was in the park where he had met Shuichi.

It was public enough that if people knew what he did then that was their problem for knowing. But, it was also quiet enough where he could gather his thoughts.

In his mind, he was thinking, "Shuichi, you pathetic little moron! By shouting what you did, if I hadn't have fled that scene, I would be tried for murder! You know as well as I do that the penalty for murder is death! I love you too much to die in such a cowardly way. If only you could understand what I feel right now. That publishing company was the source of my stress, not you. You have always tried to make me feel better, even when I didn't want it. I will never forget the day I read those lyrics. Heh, some love song it turned out to be. And yet, it also turned out to be one of your best ones. I...I...I just don't want to lose you because you did something so pathetic."

The writer covered his face just then, weeping into them.

As he cried, a brilliant flash of light appeared from between the trees as a young woman, a magical woman who appears when serious help is needed, stood before Yuki.

She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and asked, "Are you going to be all right, Yuki?"

Yuki was startled by such a sudden thing, not even noticing the hand that was on his shoulder now. He gasped, then felt like running again. But, for some reason, he couldn't even move. His legs would not let him stand. Was it the woman or was it him? He could not be sure.

He replied to the woman, "I cannot say if I am going to be okay or not. But, if you are someone who is truly concerned for my well-being, then go find Shuichi and tell him of what he did."

The woman, better known as Empress Dee smiled. She bowed respectfully and said, "Right away. I shall return shortly. Do not move from this spot. If those cops find you, you're dead. I have created a magical barrier so they will not see you. As far as they know, this bench that you sit on is empty and nobody can see me either."

Yuki did not argue with the woman. As long as he was safe, that was all that mattered at this point.

The woman floated like a ghost to where Shuichi was in panic. She showed herself to only him and asked, "Shuichi Shindou of Bad Luck? I know where your Yuki is. But, before you think about trying to run to him, there is something of greater importance right now. Yes, even more important than Yuki. Shuichi, what do you know of Yuki's past?"

Dee smiled and calmed Shuichi the same way she did for Yuki moments ago. She said, "Relax young vocalist. I will take you to see him soon enough. Firstly, he is safe and has no intentions of suicide, but... he did feel that you unintentionally nearly killed him when you called out for someone to call 911. Truth is, Yuki shot his publishing boss because the publishing boss wasn't going to give Yuki a well deserved break. So, by you shouting what you did, you sent the cops after Yuki. The penalty for murder is death and I am trying to save Yuki with the mystical powers that I have."

Seeing the lost look on Shuichi's face, Dee rephrased what she said, "By saying what you did was like you wanted Yuki dead. It was why Yuki ran. Look, Shuichi, he also knows you only said what you did because you saw someone had been shot without even thinking who did it. He just doesn't want to end up dead because of something you did by accident. He also said to me, requested to me more he did, to ask you that if you understand what you did, that I take you and him someplace safe until the cops give up on looking for Yuki."

Dee smiled, "I know that. You love him as much as I love Terry. You would travel across a sea of stars just to get to him if you had to." She giggled at this.

Then she said, "Follow me, and please keep close. My cloaking device only holds within a certain range and if the cops spot you where I am taking you, they can and likely will arrest Yuki. I want to prevent that if I can."

Dee found it incredibly cute for how strong Shuichi's love was for Yuki. It would be more than worth it to take them both to her kingdom called the Renaissance Galaxy specifically to the summer mansion that was built by her husband Terry. She would, of course, bring the members of Bad Luck with her too afterward, thus allowing Yuki a fresh start with his writing career and writing only when he sees fit to. In a way, Dee approved of the murder, rather more the intent of it.

She took Shuichi to the bench in the park only to see that Yuki had either fled or had been caught. She growled when she saw that he had left the spot she assigned him to stay. Turning on another device, Dee giggled when she realized that she had the wrong bench.

When she got to the right bench, she whispered as the cloaking device masked all three of them, "Okay, I delivered Shuichi as promised Yuki and he is sorry for what he did. You know, he reminds me of myself and how I feel for my own husband. I will tell you what, I will take you to my Kingdom. Both of you. That way the cops won't be able to find you Yuki, ever. And Shuichi you will have Yuki all to yourself. Oh, and Shuichi, before you even ask, I will inform your band of where you are, and only them. I do not want to reveal too many people of your whereabouts that are from this planet considering your little oops."

Yuki smiled, a sincere warm smile this time. One that held no anger whatsoever. He asked her, "So, what do we call you anyway?"

Dee slapped her forehead for forgetting. She curtsied and replied, "My name is Empress Dee Bogard. I have been watching you two from my home planet. Yes, you two are going on a space journey!"

Yuki looked to Shuichi and embraced his lover with honest feelings. He said to Shuichi, "Finally, my love, we can be together and nobody will be able to stress me out. How does that make you feel?"

Dee replied, "That's easy. We will ship all of your instruments to my planet along with anyone you need to do them. You won't believe how many requests I have gotten for you to play in the four lands on my home world. Hamster City, Southtown, The Orochi Lands, and the Harvest Gardens all want to hear you play."

Yuki interrupted, "Wait, I thought you said we are going to be able to relax your highness once we get to your home world."

Dee nodded, "Yes, I did say that and I meant it. You both will be able to relax for a good while. Take all that stress away first before Shuichi gets too anxious and just has to sing. I think we both know that it won't be too long before he will want to sing again."

Yuki chuckled, "knowing him, you are probably right."

Then the writer's face got serious again. He asked, "Wait, with you helping us, does that mean that you approve of what I did?"

Dee replied, "Yuki, on this planet that you are on now, a lot of humans need a scolding. That Publishing boss was only asking for what you did. I mean, he was a complete jerk. Only someone with a decent soul would have allowed you the time off. It is my firm belief that if someone wants to read your books sooo badly, they can wait until you have some awesome ideas. Being under pressure is never good unless you can find a way around it. Sacrificing nothing in the process. When we get to my homeworld, Shuichi, if you want to call Hiro you can."

Hiro asked Shuichi, "Where are you and Yuki right now and why are there cops roaming the city like they are hunting someone?"

Yuki snatched Shuichi's phone and said, "Look, what the cops are doing is none of your business, but what is your business is if you want to still play in the band with my lover. If you do, you can meet up with us in the park. We will leave a secret portal open for you and the rest of Bad Luck to walk through. The portal will only be open for one hour so make your decision and make it fast."

Hiro felt like snarling and hanging up, but said instead, "Are you in some sort of trouble, Yuki?"

Yuki replied, "That isn't of any of your concern! Now quit making me mad and make your decision."

Hiro then asked, "May I speak with Shuichi? I want to hear it from him that you are okay."

Yuki wanted to throw the phone into the pond. But, Dee caught it before it got too far into the air. Dee spoke into it, "Mr. Nakano? Hi! My name is Empress Dee. I apologize for Yuki's angry behavior. He's stressed out as you could obviously tell. But, what Yuki said was true. We do need you and your band to make a hasty decision here. Truth is, the cops are after Yuki, but for the wrong reasons."

Hiro smiled though nobody knew from the other end, he merely said, "I knew it. And yeah, I will be right there with Fujisaki and Tohma. They are both over here right now. Just promise me one thing, Empress."

"Sure, what?"

"Promise me that Yuki won't get hurt and neither will Shuichi."

"You have my word. Now hurry up. Oh, and let Tohma know that we shall return him to his normal duties in two weeks. After all, I am sort of granting you guys a two weeks vacation. Though... Yuki may have to stay longer... you know... until those cops get their facts straight, which I can provide to you guys when you are here."

Hiro said, "Okay, now may I speak with Shuichi? After all, it is his phone you're on."

Dee giggled and said, "Okay, he's right here. Shuichi, Hiro wants to talk with you.Just don't take too long, my body is starting to feel weak from using so much magic all at once."

Dee led Shuichi and Yuki through the portal completely hidden. A note was left on the bench and stapled there. It read, "Dear Hiro, this is empress dee, walk straight ahead through the watery looking piece of the park with everyone who came with you. Thanks so much, Dee."

Tohma saw the note first and then saw the watery piece of the park. "Hmm," He said interested, "This girl has power I see." He then walked through the portal next.

Hiro followed as did Suguru Fujisaki. Mr. K and Sakano stayed behind however to keep the police occupied and lost. Mika volunteered into admitting Yuki's crime so that she would take the punishment that Yuki would have gotten. Tohma objected at first, but then he knew that it was for the best.

Tohma also knew that with Mika's decision, that Tohma could look for love while on his vacation, so that made him happy.
