Todana-no Nakani Chap. 2: Evil Girl!

(Notes at bottom)

Kiley sat on a ladder, smudging some white into the light brown paint for the baseball player's skin.

"Hey, Kiley." Said an unwelcome voice. He Didn't bother to look down, just continued mixing the paint.

"yes, Sae, since when did you appreciate art?" He asked wiping the excess off the brush and dabbing it on the player's cheek.

"I was just wondering how things between you and Momo were coming along." She said innocently.

"Non-existent, she's going out with Toji now, remember?" He said almost done with the cheek and temple.

"SO!? You can still get her!" Sae tempted putting on emphasis.

"It's called letting go, I suggest you try it sometime."

"You mean to say that you're going to be single, you, the hottest guy in school.?"

"I didn't say I couldn't get anyone." He said with boredom.

"Well, I'll give you another chance," Sae purred, trailing a finger down the ladder, trying to be sexy. ((Like Kiley'd notice. Hehe)).

Kiley finished the face and shook his head.

"No."

"What?!"

"No."

"WHY?!"

"I told you. And besides, you're a total sleaze, you know, for all that shit you did to Momo."

"So, I'll change."

"Yeah, right and I'm a leprechaun. Your popularity's at stake and you come crying to me. Well I don't care." He said sounding fed up.

"There's something going on with you, Kiley….and I'm not going to rest till I find out what it is."

"Whatever. Now go away, I can't paint with all your whining." Kiley told her as she stomped off angrily.

———————

Kiley and Uragíru decided they shouldn't meet in the shed anymore, it was too close to Sae. Ura-chan's parents weren't home so they went there that afternoon.

Kiley lay back on Uragíru's bed, letting out a yawn, stretching out his arms that were cramped from hours of painting.

"So this Sae bitch is going to be snooping around until she discovers you, basically?" Ura asked as Kiley nodded.

"Yeah, she's that evil."

Kiley sat with Momo at lunch, telling her what had happened with Sae.

"You mean she's after you now?" Momo asked crossly as he nodded. "Damnit! That girl!" She growled as Toji sat down and put his arm around her protectively. He still didn't quite trust Kiley with Momo. He blinked seeing Kiley slumped with his head in his hands.

"What's with him?" He asked as his girlfriend answered.

"Sae's after him in every which way."

"Over what, like Kiley has anything to hide." Toji laughed as Kiley gave him an irked look and growled.

"Toji, you asshole, you wouldn't understand."

"Really, Kiley? What's wrong? What might she find out?" The blonde teen asked him as he looked around and saw his adoring female fans approaching.

"I'll tell you later, after school; we don't have art today, right?" He got up and scribbled something on a piece of sketchbook paper and handed it to Momo.

"I'll see you later, I'm going to see Nurse Misao…I need an Advil." he said tiredly, giving a slight wave and walking off.

Momo and Toji waited for Kiley in the front of the school, as the note had said.

"Hey." he said coming from inside the building. "C'mon."

They walked down the block, Kiley looking around cautiously. He reached into his cargo pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, lit it and shakily took a drag, looking around nervously again.

/He looks terrible…/ Momo thought, looking to Toji. Kiley ground out the cigarette and led them upstairs to his family's apartment, which was one floor of the large building. He quickly unlocked and then locked the door behind them, looking to make sure Sae wasn't following. He let out a groan, leaning back against the door, pushing back his long auburn bangs.

"Okaya'-chan? That you?" A youthful female voice called from within.

"Yeah, 'Risu." He said shakily, kicking off his shoes and leaving them in the middle of the genkan. Kiley plopped down into a comfy chair and Momo and Toji sat on the couch.

Kiley's older sister, Arisu, walked into the living room, pulling her bag over her shoulders. She had hair a darker red than Kiley's and gold-brown eyes, lined in black and blue. She wore a black shirt and a long black skirt with a high slit showing off tall high heeled lace up boots going to her knee. Her lips were dark red and she was pale, like Kiley. She also had a little silver stud in her nose.

"Oh! You have friends over. Circuit or School?" She asked.

"School, but real friends, not those….things that follow me home all the time." he said softly as she came over and bowed quickly.

"Konnichi wa. O genki des' ka? Kinomoto Arisu desu." She said as Momo and Toji bowed and answered.

"'Kayas'-chan? I have to go to work, I trust you all here alone. There's some leftovers in the freezer and other stuff scattered around, cash in the coffee tin, if you don't want to brave the freezer. You can either get that or more cigarettes, I don't know, if there's anything left, but me a pack, I'm out." She said looking around as he reached into his cargo pocket and pulled out two, handing her one.

"Okayasu-chan I WUB YOU!!!!" She glomped him and him an exaggerated kiss on the cheek, leaving lip marks. She grinned and rubbed them off for him.

"Nice to meet you all, but I gotta go, can't be late." She hurried to the door and opened it and Sae fell in.

Kiley growled and Arisu fumed, stepping on her hand.

"OW!" Sae yelped as Arisu pulled her up, gripping her arm.

"Friend, enemy, or stalker?"
"Enemy." All three answered in unison as she grinned.

"Okay, she won't be back."

Arisu dragged her downstairs and told the desk personnel to not let her up.

"Bye Okayasu-chan!" she yelled up the stairs.

Momo broke out into laughter.

"You're sister is awesome!"

"Yeah, she's pretty cool." Toji agreed.

Kiley gave a short chuckle and lit the cigarette.

"Risu-chan? Yeah, she's the best. Probably the only reason I Haven't gone crazy living here…" He said pushing back his bangs, letting out a sigh and a cloud of smoke. "Kami…She's been doing that all day…"

"So are you going to tell us what she can't find out or not?"

"Momo knows." Kiley said as she nodded.

"Well?" Toji asked as Kiley tried to speak. He knew he could trust Toji but he wasn't sure how he'd take it; it was always harder coming out to guys. He stood up, tapping the ashes off the cigarette and walked to his room, pushing open the door with some effort, since there was a pile of clothing in front of it. Toji looked at Momo who smiled and gave his hand a pat.

He came back with a picture frame in his hands, a slight smile on his lips as he stared at it.

Kiley held out the frame to Toji who took it, looking at the picture. It was a photo of Kiley and Ura, Kiley was standing behind Ura who was sitting, with his arms draped over his shoulders and around his chest, and was planting a kiss on Ura's neck. The kiss was definitely not plutonic.

Toji blushed slightly, looking up at Kiley who smiled slightly, holding sadness behind it.

"My partner, Ura-chan."

"Wha….?" The blonde trailed off looking back at the picture.

"That's what Sae can't find out." He said sitting back down and tapping the ashes off again.

"You're…..but what about Momo?!"

"People can be Bisexual you know. But I'm not. I though I might have been a while, since I did really like Momo but, after she rejected me, I realized that you two were meant for each other and that I really didn't like girls." he laughed. "That and I missed Uragíru, since we'd broken up over my feelings for Momo."

"But after that…?"

"I kept bothering Momo since I do like Momo, just not romantically and I knew she could use a friend, I didn't mean to cause that much trouble though….But yeah, It's a cover, to make people thin I'm straight. I kept on Momo because I knew she would never give up on you." He rambled, putting out the cigarette.

"So what's the big deal? You're gay, so what." Toji said as Kiley shook his head.

"It would be wonderful if everyone could say that, but in fact, a lot of people have problems with it. They think it's gross, sinful, a crime against god, whatever they can come up with." He chuckled lightly. "And then there are those who think every one who's gay is hitting on them. I mean come on. Really. Like anyone would hit on them. But believe me, if I could come out, I would. I want to so bad…" He trailed off but Toji didn't quite get it.

"But you're one of the most popular guys in school! If you came out, with your following--"

"I'd be torn to pieces." He sighed. "If I weren't popular, which I wish I was, I wouldn't have a problem, no-one would know who I am, but like they say-- It's a long way down from the top. I don't want to have everyone start to bash me for what I believe." He pushed back his hair, moving his finger through the ashtray. "I don't want this anymore…."

"Kiley…." Momo said as he shook his head.

"I can't take this anymore."
