     Suddenly there was a major shift in the boat, causing both men to fall, and a loud scratching noise against the side. Looking up, Viktor just barely managed to see the iceberg passing the ship. "What the hell was that?" Viktor stood, helping Yuuri up before they both headed over to the edge of the boat, looking over to see the large iceberg disappearing behind them. "Did we hit it? Surely we can't sink, right, Titanic is... unsinkable..." Yuuri said, eyebrows knitted in worry. "We won't, it'll be fine. Just to be safe, though, we should take you back to your suite." Any other time, Yuuri would have insisted on staying with him, but he wanted to make sure that his mother was okay. He nodded and followed him back, Viktor leading him back with his hand in his. When they got back, Hiroko quickly went to her son to make sure that he was okay, him assuring that he was. When Viktor stepped in, though, Jacqueline snapped her fingers and Celestino and another man held him back. "What the hell?" Yuuri asked to her, her humming and circling him. "I've lost something tonight. Something precious to me." "JJ, I'm-" "Not you." She said. "Search him." "Oh, bullshit! I didn't do-" "Is this it?" The other man held up the beautiful blue ring, which he had pulled from his pocket. Viktor was silent a second before he looked up to Yuuri. "I didn't steal it, Yuuri, you have to believe me!" "He couldn't have..." Celestino and the other man pulled Viktor away, down to the lower decks where they took criminals. 


     "Jacqueline, I..." Yuuri stammered off, JJ raising her hand to hit him before simply curling it into a fist. "You betrayed me. You ran off, you got together with another man, a low class man at that!" She said. "If you didn't have money, I would call this off." She growled at him angrily, looking up as a crew member came in. "Hello, sorry to interrupt, but the captain is requiring everyone to go to the ballroom in life jackets." "Not now-" "This shouldn't take long." He said. She groaned. "This is not over." She said, Yuuri sighing and going to get his life jacket on. They headed downstairs to the ballroom, everyone just standing around. "Yuuri, do you know what's happening?" Phichit asked as he approached the younger man, him shaking his head and looking around. "No, no idea..." He said, seeing Guang Hong hurrying ahead. "Mr. Ji!" Yuuri said, coming to him. "What's going on? Why're we here?" He paused and frowned. "The ship is sinking, Yuuri... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... In an hour or so... Please, don't tell anyone, I don't want there to be a panic. Get to a boat, as quickly as possible... You... remember what you noticed about the boats?"  That there were only half of the lifeboats they needed to save everyone? "Yes..." He said, hurrying to his family and Phichit. They immediately went upstairs to get in the boats, Phichit getting in, then helping Hiroko in. "Come on Yuuri, get in." She said. Yuuri moved close and thought for a moment. If he left, Viktor would be left down in the low decks and he would likely die. And Yuuri didn't want to deal with that. "I can't... Mama, the man I love is below decks and I have to get him. I love you mama, I'll find you in New York..." He turned and hurried to go below decks. "Yuuri!" Jacqueline followed after him, grabbing his wrist. "Stop it! Get in the damn boat, Yuuri!" "No!" "You'd rather be a gutter rats lover?" "Better than being with you!" He slapped her and immediately stepped back. "I'm sorry..." He said, running away to find where Viktor was. 


     "Mr. Ji! Guang-Hong!" Yuuri called, coming to the other Asian man. "Where would the master-at-arms take a man under arrest?" "Yuuri, you need to get on a boat, quickly, before you lose the chance to." Guang Hong said, looking worriedly to the young man. "Mr. Ji, I'm going to do this with or without your help. But without will take longer..." He sighed softly. "Alright, I'll help... Take the elevator to the lowest level, take a left, down the crewmans passage, left at the stairs, then down a long corridor. Hurry, please..." He said, looking worriedly at him. "I will." Yuuri turned, rushing down the hall to find the closest elevator. There, a man held his arm out, blocking the elevator. "The lifts are closed." Yuuri tried to push past, but the man only repeated himself, Yuuri frowning deeply. "I'm done being polite, god damn it! Take me down!" He said. "The lift is closed." He repeated, Yuuri frowning and pushing the man away, getting in the elevator and closing the iron gates in front. "Then I'll go alone." He said, Yuuri pulling on the lever to make him go down to the lowest level. He gasped sharply as the elevator began to go into water, Yuuri immediately shivering. It was freezing cold. He opened the door and looked around, turning left when he saw the crewmans passage. He hurried down it and turned left again, then starting to call for Viktor. "Viktor! Viktor!" Yuuri called, waited for a few moments before continuing through the water down the corridor. "Viktor!" Yuuri called again.
