Chapter 4: Truth Be Told

"What do you mean by if he 'lost it again'?" Akihiko suddenly demanded, breaking the crying man out of a trance.

"Takahiro, answer me, please." Akihiko asked turning the man to face him at eye level.

"Well..." but before he could finish he was interupted by the sudden outburst of a female voice.

"Misaki-kun? Where is he? Where is Misaki-kun? Answer me, someone please." a girl who looked like she could be 19 years old, around Misaki's age. She had brunnette hair, green eyes, and...and looked like...MISAKI? But with longer hair and clearly a female.

'No, it's just a coincidence. It's because I am worried about him I am seeing people that have anything in common with him.' Usagi-san thought to himself but felt guilt at how he could compare anyone with his Misaki.

"Who are you?" he asked in a rude way. But judging by Takahiro's reaction, he didn't know whether this girl was good news or bad news.

"T-T-...To-ru? Toru? No, you're supposed to be dead! THEY said you were DEAD!" Usagi-san was shocked by his best friends' reaction to this 'Toru'.

"How do you know my name, and why do you say I am suppose to be dead?" she asked bewildered with worry on her face.

"What are you doing here asking for Misaki?" Haruhiko asked breaking the silence since Takahiro won't respond to Toru.

" I-I-I... I heard that was his name from the front desk and... it was my father who accidentally ran him over. I didn't want things to be left like this so I decided to come over and apologize to Misaki-kun. I think you might have me confused with another Toru...ummm..." she said directing the last line to Takahiro.

Takahiro wasn't expecting this appearantly, because his eyes were widened and he was on the verge of tears. Usagi-san has never seen him cry so much since, ever.

" Ehem. " Torsu said getting Takahiro's attention.

"Oh...erm...sorry. I am terribly sorry, I am Takahashi Takahiro. I am Misaki's older brother." he finally said. Takahiro deffinatly knows something and won't tell. 'This is not like him.' Akihiko wanted to ask but was scared that he might open some bad memories for his best friend.

"I do think you have me confused for another Toru, Takahiro-san. But," she grabbed something out of her bag and gave it to Takahiro, "when he wakes up please advise me immediatly." With that she walked away, glancing back only twice.

"Well, who wants some coffee?" Aikawa said, breaking the silence and tension in the small area where they were at.

"Yes, thank you." Usagi-San spoke rubbing his temples.

"Thank you." Haruhiko said in a dismayed tone.

"No, thank you." Takahiro said in an indifferent tone.

As Aikawa left to get the drinks, Akihiko turned to Takahiro and his face was shaded and staring down at the floor.

As Aikawa left, Dr. Kusama walked past her to talk to the three young men sitting in the waiting area.

"Can you please let me in to see Takahashi Misaki?" Takahiro asked the young doctor.

"Only immediate family members can go in to see him at the moment, sir."

"I am Takahashi Takahiro, his older brother, doctor." Takahiro, pleaded with instead of stating.

"Oh, yes, certainly. Please, follow me." the Doctor led the anxious man to a room at the end of some hall; Takahiro didn't pay attention at all.

"Please be advised, on our visiting hours, sir." He said as he held the door open for him.

"Yes, thank you."

Takahiro was astonished at what he was seeing. He felt his heart break and the air in his lungs get sucked out.

"Mom, dad; it's the same as then..." he spoke unto the ceiling and cried at the side of the hospital bed. He cried harder knowing his brother's life depended on a machine and how a potential threat might occur.

" Misaki. Little brother, I feel something foreboding heading in our paths. But whatever it may be, I promise to find it before it does us. Not again, I promise you not again." the sheer glen in his eyes were of determination, and sadness for he doesn't know how to protect his little brother.

*knock knock*

"Takahiro, can I come in?"

"Yes." he said as he hurriedly wiped the tears away.

Akihiko walked in and walked over to the side of the bed, standing behind his friend, ignoring the tear-stained face his friend had.

"When were you going to tell me?" Takahiro whispered after a long moment of silence.

"Tell you what?" Akihiko was wondering if he had found out about him and his little brother.

Takahiro laughed a forced laugh and said "About...who you are dating."

Akihiko was bewildered; he didn't think Takahiro would have figured out his relationship with his brother.

"What are you talking about?" Akihiko casually replied.

"It's obvious to see in your writing. It's different now. It has a different feeling to it, a less sad one."

"Oh, really? I never noticed."

"Yes, so, who is this special person?"

"Well..." Akihiko was trying to find a way out of this one.

"Well? What? Tell me."

Akihiko saw the light in his friends eyes return, 'Maybe saying something, with a little while lie, of course, won't do much harm.' he thought to himself. 'Or maybe it might do a lot of harm.' That quiet voice in the back of his retorted. Instead, he smiled and chuckled.

"I guess you can say, it's a love that has a sweet taste, but, a sour ending."

"Oh, a forbidden love, eh? Oh I see now!"

Akihiko tried to change the subject, but to his dismay, Takahiro wouldn't let it go. He continued to drag on questions.

"Can I ask questions and you tell me if I'm right or not?"

'Maybe now I can tell him, and he will take Misaki away before I can't live with him to live his life better...' Akihiko wanted to tell Takahiro so Misaki can live a well and safe life.

"Sure." Akihiko replied.

'After all, if it wasn't because of me, he wouldn't be here...' he silently stated in his mind.

Ok well, again sorry for not uploading soon enough! I didn't forget it though, I promise!

What will happen if Takahiro finds out! Will he? Will Akihiko confess?

Tune in next time!
