CHAPTER 3

RUSH

Usagi's POV

'uh… why does she have to be so loud… can't she see that I just woke up'

Aikawa just burst into my room yelling about some deadline or something. I think she said that it was a week past its due date.

'How many times do I have to tell her that I'm busy… How annoying'

It was around 3:00 pm when she barged into my room. I have decided to take a nap after Misaki had left with Takashi at around 2:00 pm. My nap was interrupted though by one annoying, screaming Aikawa.

Now I am sitting in the living room hearing her going on and about how irresponsible I am, and how I had to be more considerate of her efforts, and that I should be focused when it comes to work.

I toned her out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table in front of me and lit it up and took a deep breath.

Misaki had left earlier with Takahiro to go visit their parents graves. I hoped that I could go with him to comfort him. I know how he tends to hide his feeling when he is upset and that he didn't want to bother his brother with them. I remember when Takhiro told me that Misaki blamed himself for what happened to their parents. He thought that it was his fault because he asked them to hurry home in that rain. I also remember him telling me that Misaki stopped talking about it knowing that everyone would just tell him that it wasn't his fault.

He refused me going with them saying that he didn't want his brother to suspect anything. Although I knew that he didn't want me to be there because I always could tell when he was feeling sad.

"Usami-sensei? Are you even listening to what I'm saying here?" Aikawa yelled.

I looked at her and said nothing. She sighed and said "will you please just finish the last few chapters? I can't keep postponing the deadline for ever you know"

At that moment I was thankful that the phone rang. I got up from the couch and headed to the phone. Leaving Aikawa reading over what was finished from the manuscript. I picked up the phone hopping that it was Misaki.

"Good afternoon, Usami-san?"

It was not the voice I wanted to hear. It was some woman; her voice was cracking like she had been crying. She sounded like Takahiro's wife, Minami.

"Minami-san? What's wrong? Are you ok?" I asked confused. What was going on? Why would Minami call me?

"Usami-san… I'm really sorry to have bothered you. I know you are busy, but I don't know what to do? I don't know how to help him…." Her voice lower towards the end as she started crying again.

At that I started to panic. Help who? Who is she talking about? "Minami-san, please calm down. What happened? Who are you talking about?"

Her voice was low, she was still crying when she said "M-Misaki… He won't stop c-crying…I don't think that he is even hearing what I'm saying to him…"

My mind was going wild now. Misaki? Why is Misaki crying? Why is Minami crying? What in the world is going on?

"Why is he crying? Minami tell me what's going on…NOW" I was starting to get angry. Just tell me what is going on already.

Aikawa stopped reading and looked in my direction confused not knowing what is happening.

Minami took a deep breath to steady her voice then started talking "I'm not sure…They were on there way to the cemetery…They were waiting for the traffic light to change…I just… " she trailed off again.

I was seriously confused. I wanted to know what happened but there was no time. Misaki needs me. I have to be there. I have to be there now.

"Minami where are you?"

"We are at AM hospital…"

"I'll be there" I cut there off. I hung up the phone and grabbed my keys and slammed the door behind me. I heard Aikawa yell something but I couldn't make out what she said as I was in a hurry to get to Misaki.

I realized when I go to the car that Minami said that the where at the hospital.

Why where they at the hospital…?Misaki…

I got into the car and drove like a mad man not caring for traffic lights or my life. All I cared about was getting there. Something bad happened I could feel it; I just wasn't sure what it was.

When I got to the hospital I stopped the car at the closest parking. Ran out of the car and headed inside. I dashed into the waiting room looking for Minami knowing that if something happened she would be waiting there.

Once I was in the waiting room I noticed all the eyes that turned towards me. I looked around and finally spotted Minami. She wasn't alone; Misaki was right next to her. He looked shocked when he saw me. Thank god he was fine.

Then I noticed his face was socked with tears. His puffy red eyes, and flushed cheeks from crying. Misaki… how long have you been crying. At that moment I didn't care if he would yell at me later for hugging him in public, I just had to hold him. Comfort him. Make sure that he was fine. That was the most important thing at that moment.

I dashed towards him as he stood from the chair he was sitting on. When I got to him I put my arms around him and hugged him tightly to my chest. I was shocked to feel him hug me back when we were surrounded by all those people. I immediately felt my shirt start to get soaked from his silent tears. He held me closely, which only made me tighten my grip on him.

What happened…what would make my Misaki act like that…?Misaki… what is going on…

"Usagi-san…"His voice was so low I could barely hear him. "Usagi-san…" He said again a bit louder but still too low for anyone but me to hear.

I loosened my grip on him, raised my hands to his face and held it between them. My heart ached as I looked into his deep green eyes, they looked so sad. What in the world happened that cased my Misaki to be in so much pain.

"Misaki...what happened?" I was really confused. I didn't know what was going on around me. Misaki looked really confused and… worried? Why was he worried?

"Usagi-san…" his voice was still so low I could barely hear him. Just how long has he been crying for.

Minami was still sitting down next to us, she stated "Takahiro was hit by a car… when he and Misaki…w-where on their way to the c-c-cemetery…" she trailed off. She had started crying. She covered her face with her hands and started sobbing.

What?... Takahiro was hit by a….car? ...Today…? Of all days…TODAY? No…No way… There is no way fate would be so cruel… Misaki…

I was confused for a moment. Misaki had turned his head towards her when she stopped. It looked like he wanted to comfort her but I don't think that he could let go of my shirt. I was still looking at Minami when his grip on my shirt tightened.

Minami suddenly stopped crying, wiped her eyes with her sleeves and raised her gaze to look at Misaki. "Misaki-kun…I'm sorry sweetheart…I'm sorry" she got up from her chair and walked to our side. She put her hand on Misaki's back. Then she said to him "You have to stop crying dear… crying won't help… I called Usagi-san here; I really didn't know what else to do… you wouldn't stop crying …. I don't think that you were listening to me…"

Misaki looked at her for a moment then he turned and locked his gaze with mine. Tears were running down his face even more than before, I think he started crying again when Minami tried to explain to me what happened. I tried to comfort him "Misaki… you don't have to keep crying…" I raised a hand to his face and caressed his cheek gently, wiping away the tears. It didn't help, tears kept pouring out of his eyes. "Misaki?"

He looked as if he didn't understand what we were talking about. He loosened his grip on my shirt and raised a hand to his other cheek. "U-Usagi-san…?" he looked so confused as to why his face was wet. I felt my heart clench as I realized that he wasn't aware of the tears. Was he crying all this time without even knowing it? Oh god…Misaki? How much pain are you in…what is going through your head to not even notice that you were crying?

I wrapped my arms around him again; a hand on his head, other drawing circles on his back to comfort him, holding him ever so closer to me. I held him so tight…

Misaki started to sob into my chest louder than before. "Misaki its going to be ok…shhh… everything is going to be fine…" I kept whispering those words over and over trying to help him calm down. I don't even think he was even listening at that point for he started to cry even louder than before…

Misaki…
