Chapter 3

The next morning was another morning with Touya bringing breakfast to Shizumasa's room. But this time Touya happily walked into Shizumasa's room, and he actually wanted to see Shizumasa this morning. Touya didn't know why he wanted to see Shizumasa but he just did. Maybe it was because he had such a good time yesterday and thought that Shizumasa had to be the best friend he's ever had so far. Also Touya woke up early this morning and ate breakfast already so his stomach wasn't killing him like yesterday (Maybe that was it).

So anyway, Touya walked happily into Shizumasa's room with a tray of breakfast. Although he noticed like yesterday that Shizumasa was putting a sheet of paper under the pillow as soon as Touya announced that he was in the room. "I wonder what that paper was…" Touya thought as he moved into the room.

After Touya put the tray, onto the desk he grabbed the chair and sat right next to Shizumasa's bed. While Shizumasa picked up the cereal bowl he asked, "Do you need something?"

Touya was now confused and embarrassed. The past two days he was eager to leave, but today something was different. But different or not Touya had to think of an excuse. "Ummm… I'm bored!" Touya said.

Shizumasa looked at Touya for a while, smiled, and went on to eating. Touya sighed in relief… he was saved for now. Then after five minutes of utter silence Touya asked, "Ummm…. So what do you think of Haine-san being alone with Takanari?"

Shizumasa stopped eating and whipped his head to Touya. Shizumasa had wide eyes which made Touya wonder if he shouldn't have said anything. So Touya looked down and said, "S-sorry…"

"Why are apologizing?" Shizumasa asked.

Touya looked up surprised as Shizumasa took a bite of his breakfast. "I-I just thought that you were surprised that Haine-san went on a trip with Takanari…" Touya explained feeling embarrassed.

Shizumasa paused and then turned to look at Touya. Those eyes seem to see right through Touya so he averted his gaze to the ground. "I am surprised," Shizumasa said, "But more because you let her go with him."

Touya flickered his head up in surprise. Shizumasa had put the empty bowl of cereal onto the table and was staring directly at Touya. Touya looked to the right and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You're jealous of her, right?" Shizumasa asked, and with that comment Touya began to blush.

It was true though. Touya was jealous of Haine for being purer then he ever would be. But he mostly envied Haine because she actually touched Takanari's heart, something that Touya couldn't do after Takanari became Shizumasa's shadow. But Touya decided it was best not to tell Shizumasa that.

Shizumasa just sighed and said, "I wouldn't blame you."

Touya twitched a little but kept his eyes on the grounds and his mouth shut. Touya heard a gulping sound that signified to him that Shizumasa had swallowed his pills. So Touya began to clean up, but as Touya did so Shizumasa began to talk again. "I mean I feel kind of jealous myself," Shizumasa said, "Haine has is one of those people that people like because she seems like such an angel."

Touya began to feel something pang at his heart and it felt awful. But he kept quiet for fear that he would say something even more painful. "But I have to admit…" Shizumasa said, "I am very happy that I met her at all…"

With that Touya felt his heart fall to pieces. So he slammed his hands against the edge of the bed and exclaimed, "Will you please shut up about Haine for at least a day?!"

Shizumasa's eyes became very wide as Touya began to breath really hard. "I'm sorry, that I can't be anything like Haine-san but…!" Touya yelled but then paused.

Shizumasa's eyes remained wide as they looked into Touya's. Touya felt tears began to run down his cheek as he said softly, "But I try my best to be an angel like her… even though I know it's impossible for me…"

He stopped talking to wiped off the tears with his shirt sleeve. "Touya…" Shizumasa said as his hand softly brushed against Touya's cheek and wiped a tear.

Touya grabbed the hand and leaned his cheek into it. For some reason Touya began to calm down into a comfortable warmth. But then Shizumasa said softly, "I'm sort of disappointed in you…"

Touya was extremely shocked as the hand slid off his cheek slowly. "I-I-I'm s-sorry…." Touya said painfully as he ran out of the room with the tray.

As he ran out the room he began to cry and he heard Shizumasa call after him. But even so he ran straight to the kitchen. When he got to the kitchen and as he put everything away he began to cry harder. He then went to his room to cry even more.

If there was one thing that Touya couldn't stand it was disappointing people. But it seemed to hurt even more that Shizumasa was disappointed in him. So Touya cried straight until lunch where he got out of his room to eat some lunch and drink some water.

As he was eating his lunch he met with Yashiro, who asked, "Why are your eyes all red?"

Touya just continued to eat his lunch, and Yashiro just said while grabbing a seat next to him, "I see you were crying."

After that was said everything was quiet as Touya finished off his lunch. When he was done eating Yashiro said, "You better get to getting Shizumasa some lunch too now."

Touya gulped, he really didn't want to see Shizumasa again at the moment. So he did something courageous by….asking Yashiro, "Do you think you could do it for me?"

"WHAT THE HELL?! I'M A MAID YOU RETARD! NOT A F-- BABYSITTER FOR PRINCES!" Yashiro exclaimed angrily.

"Please Yashiro I just can't see him right now!" Touya begged, "I'll pay you twenty dollars!"

Yashiro sighed and said calmly, "Make it fifty."

"What?! No way!" Touya exclaimed at the ridicules price.

"Twenty!" Touya argued.

"Forty!" Yashiro retorted.

"Twenty!!" Touya yelled.

"Thirty!!" Yashiro exclaimed.

"Twenty!!" Touya yelled. He realized that Yashiro was lowering the price by tens and prepared for her to say twenty.

"Sixty!" Yashiro exclaimed.

"Deal!" Touya yelled. But then he realized that the price went up by a lot… so he exclaimed, "Wait a minute!"

"Too late pay up!" Yashiro said extending her hand.

Touya angrily reached for his wallet in his pocket, and gave her the sixty dollars. Yashiro just stuffed the sixty dollars into her pocket and went to work making lunch. "Wait, Shizumasa's pills are in…" Touya began to say.

But Yashiro cut him off by saying, "I know where it is."

Touya felt a little surprised that she did, but then he recalled that she seemed to know more about this mansion then Touya did ever since she first came here. Touya began to wonder how she knew all of this, but she left with a tray of food before he could ask.

He then decided to take a trip to the mansions green house during this free time to clear his head. When he got to the green house he realized that Kiriaki was water the plants and he decided to go talk to him. "Hey Kiriaki-san!" Touya said as he walked up to him.

Kiriaki turned around and said, "Hey Touya-san." Kiriaki looked behind Touya and asked, "Um… Is Yashiro with you?"

Touya shook his head and asked, "So what's the relationship between you two?"

Kiriaki turned red, looked back at the hose, and said, "Well, she used to work here awhile ago and I had a crush on her. The end." "Wait a second! Yashiro couldn't have worked here," Touya said shocked, "I never met her until she became a maid here recently!"

Kiriaki began to walk and sprayed water onto the other plants. Touya quickly walked after him, and Kiriaki said, "Yashiro was a secretary for the Toga family before we adopted you as a servant.""Really?" Touya asked in disbelief, "How the heck old is she?"

"Um….thirty-six or something," Kiriaki said.

"Then why did she quit?" Touya asked.

"Well she was best friends with the Toga twin's mother," Kiriaki said, "And when she died Yashiro said that being here made her remember their mother and it hurt her. So she went off and left here and didn't come back until just now."

Touya was silent, he didn't know anything about Yashiro, and he still considered himself her friend. "How did you feel when she left?" Touya asked.

"I felt… sad, upset,…" Kiriaki said, "and mainly disappointed in her…"

Touya then remembered that Shizumasa had he was disappointed in him and something heavy grabbed onto his heart. So he asked, "Why w-were you disappointed?"

"She just gave up just because the twins reminded her so much of their mother. She didn't even stay a day after their mother's funeral," Kiriaki said.

Touya gulped, he had made Yashiro serve Shizumasa food, and hurt her probably. He began to feel bad so he asked, "Uh… can I help you water the plants?"

"Get the pitcher over there, I'll fill it, and then you start watering," Kiriaki said pointing at the pitcher next to the wall.

So Touya set to work to watering the green house plants. The only problem was that the green house was huge and it took until dinner to water all of the plants. So Touya was exhausted, hungry, and dirty after the watering was done. He decided to take a bath and then eat some dinner.

But as he headed to his room to get clothes to take a bath, Yashiro all of a sudden past by. Before Touya knew what happened Yashiro grabbed Touya and hooped him over her shoulder like a sack. "Yashiro, why are you so strong?!" Touya asked while trying to struggle loose.

"Who do you think trained with Kiriaki on how to be a bodyguard?" Yashiro said sounding irritated, "Now stop struggling!"

With that Touya stopped struggling immediately for fear that Yashiro would hurt him. "Yashiro, why did you train to be a bodyguard?" Touya asked.

Yashiro was quiet for a second as she walked. But then she said, "I wanted to protect my best friend and I thought it would be fun."

Touya then asked, "Was your best friend Shizumasa's and Takanari's mother?"

Yashiro stopped walking and asked, "How did you know about me and Shouka?!"

Touya couldn't see her face but the sound of her voice told him she was really angry. "Uh… Kiriaki t-told me!" Touya answered scared.

Yashiro was silent again as she began to walk again. "I see…" Yashiro said when Touya thought she wasn't going say anything anymore.

"Did he tell you how much of a coward I was after she died?" Yashiro muttered.

That had taken Touya surprised, she had never said anything bad about herself since he met her. "No, but he said that he was disappointed in you," Touya said softly and sympathetically.

"Why does he think I came back?!" Yashiro retorted.

Touya then realized that Yashiro had come back to prove herself to Kiriaki that she was brave enough to come back to the mansion no matter how much it hurt her. But Touya chose to stop talking so as not to hurt her, and Yashiro seemed to have done the same. Although when they reached the bathroom Yashiro said, "Okay, there's clothes in the bathroom so go take a bath now."

Yashiro gently set Touya down, he got into the bathroom, and closed the door behind him. He took off his clothes and began to take a bath. But as he washed himself, Touya couldn't help but think about Yashiro and Kiriaki and if they really still liked each other. (Author's note to Touya: Of course they do!!)

Then he was done taking a bath after fifteen minutes, so Touya got out of the shower and dried himself with the towel on the hanger. After drying himself Touya turned and saw some clothes on a hanger. The only problem was that outfit contained a long satin white sleeping gown for girl and underpants for guys. Touya couldn't help but exclaim, "What's up with this?!"

"Just wear and I'll except payment for it," Yashiro's voice said from behind the bathroom door.

"Payment for what?" Touya exclaimed.

"You were planning to have me deliver dinner to Shizumasa, right?" Yashiro's voice asked.

Touya bit his bottom lip, it was true that he was going to ask her that. After a couple seconds of silence Yashiro's voice said, "Then put it on and I'll do so!"

Touya sighed, it was least and most he was willing to do for her. Since he did force her to deliver food to someone that reminded her of her late friend, also Touya realized he sort of liked wearing dresses ever since the outfit incident. So he put the gown and underpants on, which was covered by the gown, and got out of the bathroom.

When he got out of the bathroom Touya had something cover his eyes, and was hoisted over someone's shoulder. Touya began to panic until Yashiro's voice came up and said, "Relax princess, I got a surprise for you!"

"I'm a boy, Yashiro!" Touya retorted.

"Not in this gown you are!" Yashiro laughed.

Touya felt Yashiro (obviously) began to walk and carry him off somewhere. "If this was a movie I would be the princess or prince, and Yashiro would be the punk unicorn," Touya thought as Yashiro carried him off to god knows where.

All of a sudden Yashiro stopped and Touya heard a door open. Then Yashiro began to walk again and Touya was placed on what felt like a bed. As Touya stayed seated on the bed blindfolded he heard two people whispering to each other, but he couldn't make out what the voices were whispering.

After the whispers Touya heard the bed creak and felt weight press onto the bed side in front of him. Touya felt what felt like two arms brushed against both his cheeks, and the blindfold getting untied. When the blindfold came off Touya saw Shizumasa's face right in front of his. "Shizumasa!" Touya exclaimed in surprise as he fell back into the bed.

Touya stayed laying down on the bed with a pillow supporting his head as he looked to find that he was in Shizumasa's room. Although behind Shizumasa there was a flat screen TV which wasn't there before! "Why did you bring me here?" Touya asked, not wanting to get up because the bed was really comfortable and he didn't want to face Shizumasa either.

But then Shizumasa crawled on top of Touya and looked him dead in the eyes. Touya blushing turned the other way, and much to his demise Shizumasa brushed his lips against his neck. Touya shivered as Shizumasa softly breathed onto his neck, and asked, "well why didn't you bring me lunch today?"

Touya felt Shizumasa's lips leave his neck. "I just couldn't see you after knowing that you're disappointed in me…" Touya muttered still looking the other way.

But Shizumasa's hand grabbed Touya's chin and forced Touya to look at Shizumasa in the eyes again. "Then if I'm disappointed in you work harder to make me un-disappointed in you!" Shizumasa exclaimed.

Touya's eyes widened as he remembered that Yashiro was trying to do the same thing except for Kiriaki. "If she can try to do that then I can too, right?" Touya thought gulping.

But looking into Shizumasa's eyes Touya didn't think that not trying was a idea. So Touya shoved Shizumasa off violently and exclaimed feeling embarrassed, "Okay, okay, okay! I'll try my best!"

Touya had accidentally pushed a little to hard and made Shizumasa land on the bed onto his back. Touya sat up immediately, blushed embarrassed, and began to apologize. Touya closed his eyes in embarrassment and thought, "Why do I always make things worse then they already are?!"

But Shizumasa sat up, patted Touya's head, and smiled warmly. "It's okay," Shizumasa said cheerfully, "I'm just happy that we're seeing eye to eye on this."

Touya felt his cheeks getting red so he turned the other way. Touya then asked looking at the gown he was wearing, "Did you think of this?"

Shizumasa smirked and nodded. Touya began to get angry and decided to leave before he blew a fuse. But Shizumasa grabbed Touya's wrist and said, "Hold on! I want you to stay and sleep in my room tonight!"

"What?!" Touya exclaimed confused.

All of a sudden there was a knock at the door, and Yashiro's voice came after it to say, "Hey, I got the food and movie!"

"Great, come on in!" Shizumasa yelled, while he pulled Touya right beside him and put his hand onto Touya's shoulder.

Yashiro came right in with a cart with a tray of food good enough for two, and there was a Blockbuster tape on the cart too. But smelling and seeing Touya realized that he was hungry and looked up at Shizumasa hungrily. "The foods for the both of us to eat while we watch the movie Prom Night," Shizumasa replied happily.

"P-P-Prom Night?!" Touya asked horrified.

Touya heard about the movie and it gave him shivers thinking about it like any horror movie. Shizumasa hand gave Touya's shoulder a soft squeeze and he also gave Touya a reassuring smile. "Come on, I'll be right here watching it here with you!" Shizumasa added.

"I'll explain later why that didn't make me feel better," Touya lied, as he grabbed some food form the cart.

In truth, Touya was really happy that Shizumasa was going to be here with him. But saying that could mean a very sudden and humiliating death. So he just leaned his head onto Shizumasa's shoulder and began to eat (somehow). Shizumasa leaned his head on top of Touya's as the movie began playing.

The beginning wasn't so bad, since scary things didn't get started then. So Touya was able to finish his food before things got gory in the movie. As soon as things did get creepy in the movie Touya hugged Shizumasa and closed his eyes in fear. Shizumasa softly hugged Touya back, which was almost creepier then the scene in the movie. But at the same time it was comforting and loving.

Touya uneasily looked up at Shizumasa, and Shizumasa smiled reassuringly again. Then for some reason Touya relaxed and was able to watch the really scary parts of the movie by being held by Shizumasa. It confused him why but he still felt comfortable.

After a couple hours the movie was finally over and it was pretty late as Yashiro put what remained of Shizumasa's and Touya's dinner away. Touya was still in Shizumasa's arms, which he didn't mind until Yashiro asked, "So are you two going to have some real fun tonight?"

Touya quickly pushed Shizumasa away, blushed, and shook his head insanely. Yashiro laughed as she left and closed the room door behind her. Touya then realized that he felt really tired and leaned onto Shizumasa's shoulder for support. Touya forgot about everything even the fact that it was Shizumasa's shoulder he was leaning on. But then Shizumasa's hand grabbed the back of Touya's head softly, brought it close to his face, and kissed Touya's head softly.

Touya realized that there was a comforting and atmosphere all of a sudden. "You look tired," Shizumasa said, "Better put you to bed."

Shizumasa turned around and Touya tried to sit up straight but was wobbling tiredly. Shizumasa of a sudden tugged Touya by the arm to the rear of the bed, and laid him down onto a soft pillow. Shizumasa then laid himself beside Touya and pulled the covers over both of them.

Touya felt so comfortable as he began to be taken by sleep. As Touya shut his eyes he felt something soft press onto his lips like someone was kissing him. Even though he was being taken by sleep whatever was on his lips made him feel like he was in heaven, and kissed back. Then he completely fell asleep and whatever was on his lips left them. But the heavenly feeling didn't leave Touya's mind or body.

The end of Chapter 3

Author Note: Dang! This chapter was harder then I thought, but I think I like this one the best! Oh, and for those of you with dirty minds: No, Shizumasa didn't take advantage of Touya while he was sleeping! Shizumasa just kissed him! (Wait, this isn't helping me!) Also I haven't seen any scary movies before (nor do I plan to) so I chose Prom Night because it hasn't come out yet. That aside sorry for making you viewers wait so long and for the next chapter I think the you might have to wait two weeks or something for it. But I don't know, my schedule is pretty bumpy since the person who makes it doesn't tell me in advanced. Anyhow thanks for reading and I'm begging you to… REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!!
