Mysterious Ways of Love

Chapter nine

Hahaha, okay please avoid throwing rocks and rotten fruit at me. I know I have not updated in a while but my reason is that I lost my inspiration and I found it. I hope this isn't to bad because it took me for ever to write this. Well thought I would just say hey so please continue reading!


Not even taking notice of his little brothers appearance he ran over and wrapped his arms around him. "Oh, Misaki, I am so glad you're safe!" He said. "Thank you Usagi-san for finding him, I was so worried."

Akihiko stared at the two not understanding what his friend meant by 'found him'. Takahiro was looking Misaki over like he was looking for any bruises while Misaki was telling him to stop and that he was okay.

Finally Takahiro calmed down enough that he could finally form coherent sentences. "I will never be able to thank you enough Usagi-san; I was so worried someone had kidnapped my adorable little brother from me!" Misaki was staring at the floor avoiding all eye contact with his brother while he was talking to Akihiko, who still did not quite understand what was going on but had gotten a general idea.

Misaki, the boy who he made love to not only 24 hours ago, seemed to be the same Misaki that was his best friends little brother. All he could do was stare as the other man kept babbling on about how much he missed Misaki and how worried he was when something struck him as odd. Misaki had Described Takahiro as an uncaring man who practically hated him, but the Takahiro he knew was an airheaded generous person.

"Usagi-san?" Takahiro was waving his hand in front of the taller ones face trying to grab his attention. Akihiko looked down into his eyes. "What?" He asked not hearing any of what Takahiro has said. "I said that I am taking Misaki home so he can figure out what he wants to pack up." Takahiro said with a smile. Usagi-san looked confused. "Pack, for what?" he asked. "Remember I'm getting married. I need a better place for us to settle down and have a family in." The man said this with a soft happy smile. "So in about seven months we are going to Okinawa for me to work.

Misaki stared wide eyed at the back of his brother's head. Move? How could he move now? He just found someone who cared for him and now he was going to have to leave. Panic had taken over his mind until a small voice told him something that he had never thought of. He was eighteen; he could live on his own. Yes he would have to go finish high school but he could live with Usagi-san right?

Misaki got up off the sofa and stood as tall as he could as to make himself be taken more seriously. "I-I'm not going." He said.

Takahiro turned around with a surprised look on his face. "Misaki… you-" He was speechless; he couldn't remember the last time his little brother had spoke.

"I'm not going Nii-chan." He repeated. "I want to stay here." Takahiro looked at him like he was crazy. "You can't stay here, that would be to imposing for Usagi-san." Takahiro said confused on why he would want to stay. Misaki looked at Akihiko with a hopeful and loving gaze. "I would really like to though…" His voice trailed off. Akihiko had turned his head away as to avoid his stare.

"Misaki,' Akihiko started. 'You need to go with your brother." Misaki just stared at the man. He could feel his heart ripping itself apart as those seven words left his lips. "Oh,' He said quietly. "Y-You're right; I'm sorry for being so selfish." He kept his head lowered before turning around and heading for the stairs. "I need to grab my jacket."

As he ascended the stairs and made it to the bedroom it took every ounce of his will not to cry. Why did he think Usagi-san would say yes? He didn't deserve to be happy and he most definitely did not deserve to be loved by the handsomest and kindest person he had ever met in his life time.

A sob escaped his throat causing him to throw his hand over his mouth trying to muffle the sound. Failing to do this he swung the door closed behind him, but not taking notice of where his tail was ended up slamming it in the door. Yelping in pain he opened the door and pulled his tail into his chest as he sat crouched trying to overcome the pain that was surging through his sensitive tail all the while more sobs started to rack his small frame. Was anything ever going to work out for him? Did he even care anymore?

Misaki's ears perked up when the sound of footsteps creeping up the stairs and walking towards the room caught his attention. He quieted his sobs, wiped the tears out of his eyes and started to look around for his hoodie so that whoever it was wouldn't suspect anything.

Out of the corner of his eye Misaki say that it was Akihiko who entered the room holding something in his hand. Not wanting to let him know that he could see him Misaki kept looking around one corner of the room for his jacket. "Misaki," Usagi-san said in his deep smooth voice sending a shiver through Misaki's spine. Slowly turning his face to the side, letting Usagi-san at least know that he was listening, he gave a small grunt in reply. "Here" He said holding out the item that was in his hand towards Misaki who gave it a confused look as he took it and held it in front of himself examining it.

In his hands was a pale peach, almost pale pink, zip up hoodie with a small ribbon cladded bear on the top right corner of the jacket. Misaki stared at the Jacket. This wasn't his so why was Usagi-san handing it to him? Was it another present and if it was why now would he give it to him? He basically rejected him down stairs and if Misaki knew one thing he knew that once you reject someone you generally stop giving them new things. He knew it wasn't like he was being handed a diamond bracelet or anything but still this was new and definitely something he could not afford, like everything else he had gotten from Usagi-san.

He looked up at Usagi-san with a confused look when he felt an arm wrap around his waist pulling his body up against the others. "What are you-" Misaki was cut off by a pair of lips being placed on his own in a slow sweet kiss. Misaki couldn't even try to push away from him; hell he couldn't even think straight, giving into the kiss was the only thing he could do. After a moment Akihiko removed his mouth from the younger's and looked into his eyes, which were half lidded and glazed over with lust.

"Usagi-san," Misaki started but was once again cut short when his ears perked up at the sound of his brothers' voice and footsteps coming towards the two who were still in an embrace.

"Misaki, Usagi-san, Are you up here?" Takahiro yelled. Misaki seemed to snap out of his confused state and pushed out of Akihiko's arm their eyes never leaving one another's. "Yes, we're in here." Misaki shouted back walking over to the door finally looking away from Usagi-sans eyes. "Sorry Nii-chan, I'm ready."

They all walked down stairs to the door. Takahiro came up and vigorously shook Akihiko's hand. "I will never be able to thank you enough for finding Misaki, oh thank you!" Usagi-san smiled. "It was no trouble."

Saying their good-byes Takahiro and Misaki left. "Well ready?" Takahiro asked. "Yeah." Misaki said quietly while zipping up his jacket. Takahiro turned to his brother with a huge grin on his face. "I can't wait for you to meet Minami; you are going to love her!"

Misaki's eyes widened and he came to a halt. "W-what?" He felt his stomach drop. 'Can I just get a brake?' Taking a deep breath he ran to catch up with his brother, and headed to see the woman who will be his sister-in-law.


Well what did you think? I hope it wasn't to bad but I will garuntee that Chapter 10 will be much better! oh and I got to go to the Miyuzaki film festival! If anyone was there didn't you think it was awesome!
