OK! Chapter 4 is up, I'm sorry its so short you guys, but i've been really busy helping my Aunt get ready to ship out in a few days so yea... OH and tomorrow is Wimbledon! I'm gonna be watching that on the Tennis channel, I luffles that channel so much. oh wait I'm rambling. I hope you guys enjoy!
"You promised him what?" Oishi asked waving his arms around, He wasn't quite sure if he had heard his leader correctly.
"I promised to take him outside tomorrow," Tezuka said again.
"You know how dangerous that is!"
"Have you forgotten already that Tezuka is day walker like Inui and I?" Eiji smiled from behind the mother hen.
"That's not the point, what if he finds out that Fuji-san is still here?" Oishi said with a more worried tone this time. Eiji smiled and rested his chin on Oishi's shoulder.
"Nya, you worry too much." Oishi blushed at his friend's close proximity.
"I-I have a right to worry." Oishi stuttered stepping away from the red head. Eiji merely shrugged and turned back to Tezuka.
"So, what are you going to town for again?"
"Painting supplies," Tezuka said bluntly.
"What for, none of us paint?"
"Fuji wishes to tomorrow while he's outside."
"Fujiko paints? I never knew that."
"Neither did I until he said that he wanted to." Tezuka said grabbing his jacket, "I'll be back in a while."
"BYE TEZUKA!" Eiji yelled waving excitedly. "I wonder if Fujiko will paint a picture of you and me together Oishi."
"I don't know you could ask him."
"I will!" Eiji announced running off to Fuji's room, it didn't take long though considering what he was.
"FUJIKO!"
I turned around from where I was standing next to the window. Eiji was standing at the door a wide grin on his face.
"Yes Eiji?"
"Could you paint a picture of me and Oishi tomorrow?" Eiji asked with wide pouting eyes. I looked away for a moment then back at him, I personally wanted to paint Tezuka, but I guess he could wait. No if I was going to do it then tomorrow would be the day to.
"I'm sorry Eiji, but maybe next time, I really want to paint the landscape tomorrow, but you and Oishi are welcome to join Tezuka and I tomorrow if you wish." Eiji frowned for a moment.
"Well, Oishi doesn't like getting out in the sun very much…umm…he…burns easily, that's it." His playful child like smile returned when he was done.
"Oh well, maybe tomorrow evening then?"
"Yea, that would be much better!"
"All right I'll see what I can do then, are you still going to join us though?"
"Hmm…probably not. Oishi doesn't like to be left alone for very long; he ends up worrying far too much for his own good. Course he'll have Taka-san to talk to, though he'll still end up worrying about me if I'm not around." Eiji rambled on, pacing back and forth across my room, as though he was enjoying his conversation with himself. "Ever since Oishi came here he's been such a worry wart, a mother hen, but I guess when you think about it here Tezuka is father and Oishi is mother." Eiji laughed and turned back to me, "Wouldn't you agree Fujiko?"
"Eh?" I'll be honest I wasn't even paying attention to what he was saying the entire time.
"Tezuka is our father and Oishi is our mother, don't you think? So that would make Kaoru-chan, Momo-chan, Taka-san, Inui, and I their children. We act like it sometimes running about doing our own things here and there. Just like one big happy family." He grinned taking my hand.
"I guess so; I haven't really seen much of everyone to know for sure." I really hadn't, so technically I wasn't lying to him, though they did seem that way in a sort.
"Hmm that is a problem, come with me!" He pulled me across the room and out the door. Eiji still pulling on my hand led me down the corridor and stairs to the entrance hall. "Taka-san, Kaoru-chan I have someone you need to meet!" He yelled.
"What is it Eiji there isn't any need to yell." A large man came through the open door way followed by a slightly shorter one with an odd look on his face.
"This is Kawamura Takashi, and Kaidoh Kaoru. This is Fuji Shusuke."
"Pleasure to meet you Fuji-san," they said in unison. I nodded back with my usual smile in place.
"So you're the one Kikumaru-san brought home the other night." Kaidoh muttered.
"Saa, I am." My smile fluctuated for a moment before returning to full power, I still wasn't sure how or why I was brought here but details weren't of interest of me right now, I doubt they will be later.
"I hope you are enjoying your stay, and that we aren't too strange for your liking." Kawamura laughed rubbing the back of his neck slightly.
"Oh no, I don't find any of you strange at all, well not too strange that is. Eiji here still has me wondering about him though." I laughed.
"Mou, that isn't very nice Fujiko," Eiji pouted looking away.
"I meant no harm by it you know that."
"Really now?"
"Yes Eiji really." His smile returned as he turned by towards me. "Well, come on let me show you rest of the house!" So Eiji proceeded to pull me all over the house from the library to the kitchen, all the way back to the entrance hall. It didn't take long but with Eiji's quick explanations it really did take some time to process. "So, what do you think?"
"Umm…its quite extensive that's for sure." I said.
"Yep it sure is, course with the few of us that live here it does get quite lonely."
"I would imagine so."
"At my old home, I was never alone; I was the youngest of 5 siblings, two older brothers and two older sisters. Then there was my mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, my mom's parakeet, and my eldest sister's dog. All eleven of us in one house, then coming here it just feel so empty." His face fell; I would feel lonely too coming from a home like that. It had always been Yumiko, Yuuta, and mother. Not very many people at all. Of course I was one for solitude most of the time. Preferring the outdoors to the inside, I detest being confined in rooms and buildings, that's why I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
"Why did you leave it, it sounded like a lovely place?" I said placing my hand on his shoulder.
"Well, you see…I can't." He pulled away and turned his back, "Neither he nor Tezuka would be very happy about it." I frowned. There was another thing I hated, being led on then stopped abruptly, it was irksome to hear something then be told that you can't have an elaboration because others wouldn't like it. What was it that they men were hiding; everything always went back to him. What had he done to them?
"I see," I muttered, "I'm going back to my room, I'll see you later Eiji." I smiled and left. In all reality I wasn't going to my room I was going to the library. I wanted to know what was in those books; maybe it was some form of answers.
Oh what will our little human find out? I wonder -grin- the worst he could do is find out all their secrets and such right? Fuji should know that its not nice to pry into others personaly lives, its rude. haha Review guys! I thank all of you who have so far!
