Chapter three…yep, another chapter already… I just needed to write! Once again, you are warned, by nature I am anti-yaoi love! I have no idea where this story is coming from…more will be revealed later!

Note: Akito is female, but is referred to as male, as keeping with the manga.

Our lips part and I look up into Shigure's tender eyes. He's blushing and looks adorable. I know I can't hide it anymore…I love him. I must have loved him for some time, but I kept it hidden. I suppose that…that Akito would find out, and then the only person who was truly close to me my whole life would be hurt. I shiver, and Shigure holds me tighter. "We should get you some clothes." he mutters.

Did I ever really love Kana? I know now that I wasn't being true to myself; I was looking for love when I had already found it…in him. That must be why my relationship with Kana ended so badly. I took for granted the gifts I have in Shigure and Ayame. "Wh…where's Ayame?" I ask Shigure as he tosses me a pair of pants and a dress shirt. "Oh…uh…" he fumbles.

"Here I am!" Ayame announces with a flourish, walking into the bathroom with a tray of tea in his hands. "I promised I would make us all our special tea." "Ayame I…" Shigure starts. "Don't worry about it Gure-San." Ayame replies, serious for once. "To tell you the truth, I knew that your affections for Ha-San outweighed your feelings for me," he smiles, "and lucky for you, I found someone to console my sorrow!" "Who, who?" Shigure asks, playfully poking Ayame in the stomach. I, now dressed, turn my attention to my tea.

"Well…" Ayame starts and I prepare for a long story. Leave it to Ayame to reap drama where drama was…or was not…due. "You know of my shop of course…" Ayame boasts with pride. Oh dear, that shop…I take another sip of tea as an excuse to remain silent. "Yes, yes, it's wonderful!" Shigure replies with a grin. "Well, you know my assistant, Mine?" Ayame asks. "Her?" I question. "Why not?" Ayame answers me, with a grin. "Well…she's…female, for one thing." I point out. "Of course she is," Shigure explains, "no other man could do me justice, so he turned to females." "Oh stop it, you two!" Ayame says, "the truth is she and I have had feelings for each other for years." Shigure and my jaws drop. We eye each other.

"D…does Akito know?"

"Of course not, Gure-San. Do you think I would still have my shop if he did?"

"Good point…but this is bad, if Akito finds out…" I begin.

"And what if he found out about you and Gure-San?" Ayame asks me.

Shigure and I glance at each other, blushing. That's true. Akito would hardly approve of our relationship. He liked to think of us as his personal lapdogs.

"Knock, knock, knock" Another knock on the door, it seems I won't be able to escape Akito after all. "Are you better now, Hatori-Sensei?" the maid asks. "Dammit, we have to think of something quick." Shigure mutters under his breath. "Aya, you're good with fabric…is there any way to hide the wounds on his arms?" "There's no time…we'll have to think of something else." Ayame whispers back.

"I take it he's still sick then?" the maid continues after a pause. "Uh-huh," Shigure answers, "sick as a dog ;;" "I brought his medical supplies for you." The maid continues. "If you'd just open the door..." "Quickly, Ha-San!" Ayame wraps a robe around me, "moan or something, act sick!" He gives Shigure a nod of the head and the door is opened. I lean over the toilet and moan with all my might. The maid runs over to me and kneels down. "Oh, poor Hatori-Sensei. I made sure to check that there are anti-acids in your bag. Feel better soon." "Th...thank you." I mutter, still attempting to moan. She is one of the nicer maids.

Shigure, Ayame, and I let out a collective sigh and the maid walks out and closes the door behind her. "Okay, you," Shigure says turning to me, "time to get you to the hospital." I look down towards the floor and notice that my arms have not only started bleeding again, but are also pussy. "Ah…alright." Suddenly I'm lightheaded…I slowly fall towards the floor.

"Hatori? HATORI?"
