Psychic Detective Yakumo
Hello, everyone! It's me, a big PDY fan. I love this anime/manga so so much. It's one of my absolute favorite and it got me sad to see that there is so few fanfic stories for this wonderful anime. That's why I felt inspired to write (type) this. I know this seems like a one-shot, but it's not. I'm planning to make it several chapters long and there's actually going to be a plot. So yeah...
I've been waiting for chapter 27 to come out for the manga, does anyone know if it's out already?
Anyways, please enjoy chapter one of this story! Reviews and suggestions are gladly appreciated. I'll try to update soon!
Won't Give Up
Chapter 1 – Waiting
Haruka waited patiently for Yakumo to come home. It was already past midnight which made her a bit anxious and nervous. She sat in front of the table, twitching her fingers, with only a dim light coming from a nearby lamp. The small room was quiet and the only thing could be heard was the sound of the wind rustling against the window.
A cold shiver ran down her spine as she hugged herself with her arms. She looked at her phone which laid flat on the table. There were no calls, no texts messages, no voice mails from Yakumo. Haruka sighed before she sank herself on the chair. She couldn't help, but wonder if he's okay or if he was having trouble with the case he had with Gotou-san. He had told her that he would be home in time for dinner and that was the reason why Haruka had even bothered preparing it. She had made something extra delicious thinking Yakumo would be home in time for dinner.
Things apparently didn't work out that way and it was really no surprise to her. She was getting used to it already. Yakumo usually spent all day with Gotou, investigating and uncovering new crimes that involved the supernatural. There was never a day they rested even though Yakumo loved sleeping and being lazy. Then, for some reason, they always ended accepting the most dangerous and frightening cases.
If she wasn't so busy during the day, she might actually be willing to help them, but she couldn't. Her day was packed and busy with tons of things to do. Since she was a teacher, she had to wake up early in the morning to go to the school she taught in. Taking care of a class full of kids was no easy task, but Haruka enjoyed it. She loved how every single student would keep their eyes focused on her as she taught and she loved the way they would ask questions when they didn't understand. She loved taking them to playground where they played till their hearts were content. There was plenty of work to do after all that as well. She would have papers to grade and meetings to attend with the other teachers. Everything was pretty exhausting.
Haruka sighed again before she checked the time in her watch again. It was getting really late and there was still no sign of Yakumo. If Yakumo had a normal job, Haruka probably wouldn't be as worried as she was. She would love to be with him in those moments just like before, but ever since she and Yakumo got married, he never allowed her to accompany him during cases. No matter how much she would insist, Yakumo wouldn't let her, proclaiming that it was for safety and security. He would tell her that he didn't want her risking her life.
It was flattering to see Yakumo care about her so much. Haruka never imagined the day she would get married with the man she loved. In fact, Haruka never imagined herself getting married at all. She didn't have qualities of a wife at all. She hardly knew how to cook. She always tended to burn the food or to not cook it thoroughly enough. Last time she almost made Yakumo choke because she had forgotten to take the bones out of the fish. Then she wasn't too good at cleaning and doing chores around the house. She would always constantly break things which would annoy Yakumo since that meant that they would have to rebuy it.
Now that she thought about, she wasn't the ideal wife at all. She was clumsy and extremely careless at times. Despite all that, Yakumo kept her by his side. He chose her to spend the rest of his days with and Haruka was really glad about that. There were so many beautiful women out there he could have chosen, but he chose her.
Haruka remembered the special moments she and Yakumo had spent together. They went through so many cases together. They helped so many people with their lives and helped so many souls find their long desired peace. Things were so incredible between them, but as time went by, as they spent more time together, she began to realize her feelings toward him. She knew that she loved him, but she remained silent and didn't bother telling anyone. Haruka thought that her feelings would never be corresponded and that Yakumo would only see her as a friend.
Things changed, though. When Ishii declared his love toward her and asked her to be his girlfriend, Yakumo stopped her from accepting him. She had asked him why, wondering what the problem could be. Yakumo wasn't very clear with his words and had trouble explaining his feelings. Eventually, he ended up pulling her into a an embrace and whispering in her ear that he was in love her. Then, he tenderly kissed her on the lips.
Haruka felt herself blushing as she thought about her first kiss with Yakumo. She laid her cheek on the table as she stared at the white wall that was in front of her. There was no doubt that Yakumo was the perfect guy for her. She was so lucky that she had ended up marrying a wonderful guy like him. Even though he was pretty cold and emotionless at times, he was still amazing.
Her wedding had also been amazing. It wasn't anything fancy just something small enough for them and the family. Haruka had a great time and she had been super excited to change her last name from Ozawa to Saitou. From that moment on, she became Haruka Saitou. Sighing again, Haruka closed her eyes. As soon as the wedding was over, Yakumo took her to a wonderful hotel spa where they enjoyed their first night together. The entire time, Haruka thought everything was a dream and she was afraid to wake up. Of course, everything was reality.
Everything was different now, though. Even though she and Yakumo were married, they hardly had time to spend time with each other. In fact, they hardly even saw each other. Haruka had to leave early in the morning and Yakumo, being the deep sleeper he was, won't wake up to anything so early. Haruka spent her day at her school while Yakumo would spend his day with Gotou in the investigation headquarters. Every now and then, he would send her a text, but that was it. Nothing more.
Was it okay for her to start feeling insecure and afraid? Haruka knew that Yakumo would never do something as cheat on her, but still, it wouldn't hurt to say that he loved every now and then. She was usually the one that was always lovey dovey and the one that would encourage him to spend some time together. She knew Yakumo had trouble expressing his feelings and she really wanted to change that.
Haruka was starting to fall asleep, her mind floating around in memory lane when she suddenly heard jingly keys turning the door knob. She perked up when she heard the door opening. Sitting still, Haruka happily watched as Yakumo entered the apartment. She stood up from her chair and greeted him with a smile. "Yakumo. You're finally home."
Yakumo turned to look at her a bit surprised, not expecting to see her there. He walked over to her before looking around the dim apartment. "What are you doing still up? I didn't expect to see you still awake. Don't you have work tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I do, but I wanted to wait for you." Haruka walked over to him, feeling her pajama robe trail behind her. She implanted a kiss on his cheek before she started soothing his soft hair. "You came home really late today. I was worried about you. Is everything okay? Did something happen?"
He smiled at her before he placed his hand over her head like the way he always did. He patted her head gently as if he was trying to ease her worries. "Everything is fine. The case is closed. That's why I took so long to get home. Sorry for making you worry."
Haruka shook her head while she pulled him into a tight hug. She squeezed her small arms around his body tightly as if she never wanted to let go. "It's okay. Your home safe now. That's all that matters."
They stayed that way for awhile before Yakumo gently pulled away. He stretched his hands in the air before he let out a long yawn. He looked really tired and Haruka understood why. The cases were tough for Yakumo or for anyone. They could physically and mentally wear anyone down. Haruka watched as Yakumo started heading toward the bedroom, practically dragging his feet. "So," Haruka began, catching his attention. "You're not going to eat, are you? If you're hungry, I could heat up some food for you."
"It's okay. I already ate." He turned back to look at her before he continued walking out the living room. Haruka sighed since she realized that all the food she had worked so hard to make had kind of gone to waste. "Anyways, I'm gonna take a shower. You should go to bed. It's pretty late for you."
Haruka nodded even though Yakumo didn't turn back to look at her. She followed him into the bedroom, but she walked toward the bed while he headed toward the bathroom. She undid the sheets and laid herself on top of the bed. Of course, Haruka wouldn't be able to sleep until she had Yakumo laying by her side. So, Haruka remained awake, staring up at the ceiling. She could hear the water running from the bathroom and she counted the seconds it took Yakumo to come out of the shower. She wanted to feel him next to her already.
Several minutes passed until he finally came out of the shower, shirtless and with a towel over his shoulders. Haruka sat up on the bed and watched Yakumo with a dreamy eyes as he dried his hair. When he noticed that she was still awake, he sat down the edge of the bed next to her feet. He continued to dry his hair, but stopped when he spoke to her. "How was work for you today?"
"It was great." Haruka told him with excitement since he had actually bothered to start a conversation. "Things are going to get a bit busy since next week since we're going to have Meet the Teacher Night. I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to meet the parents."
"Really?" Yakumo stated as he looked at her. Even though the room was dim, since the only light that came in was from the window, Haruka could see Yakumo's beautiful red eye. That was definitely one of Yakumo's beautiful features. "Sounds kind of boring to me."
"Well, it's not. It's going to be fun. I can't wait." Haruka pouted at him as she clapped her hands together. "If you like, maybe you can join me. It would be really cool if I had my wonderful husband by my side. So what do say? Do you want to join me? Maybe you can help me out or something."
Yakumo smiled as he shook his head. "If nothing comes up, I'll go. I can't promise you anything, though." He turned to look at her before he squinted his eyes at her. "Why do you want me to go, though? Wouldn't it be weird for a teacher to have her husband there?"
"Why do I want you there?" Haruka repeated as she felt a small blush coming on. "I want to show you off, of course. I want to show everyone the wonderful husband I have. I want everyone to be jealous of me."
"You're such an idiot sometimes." Yakumo told her, but in a sweet and teasing manner. He got on top of the bed and on top of her, making her lean back. He had her in between his knees while he looked down at her from above. He caressed her cheeks which made her close her eyes in delight. Her heart started pounding loudly, making her think that it would jump right out of her chest. "You're such an airhead."
Haruka opened her eyes to see Yakumo's face getting closer to her. Then he gently pressed his lips against hers. It took Haruka a minute to comprehend what was going on since her face was beyond flustered. She quickly kissed him back as she placed her small hands on top of his bare chest. She wished they could stay that way forever, but Yakumo eventually pulled off and sat down next to her. He motioned her to lay down and she did exactly so.
Now that she had Yakumo by her side, she could go to sleep with a peaceful mind.
