Chap 12: Undercurrents

The morning light went through the glass window, landing on two figures laying in bed, arms wrapped around each other. The smaller one shifted slightly before his eyelashes fluttered and then he opened his eyes, blinking a few times to adjust with the light. He looked up and smiled at the sleeping face of his lover, the taller boy looked more relax in his sleep, even a bit gentle and peaceful. He was considering getting his camera and taking some pictures when he felt the grip on his waist tighten.

"You're staring again." Tezuka said without opening his eyes, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

"It's because you look so different when you sleep." Fuji teased "Anyway, why did you notice? Your eyes still close, or do you have another eye somewhere?"

Tezuka chuckled and opened his hazel eyes, looking at Fuji with amusement. "Your stare was too blatant, little pervert." He whispered the last words in Fuji's ear and the boy pouted, hitting his arm playfully. "Look who's talking." Fuji stuck his tongue out at the other before rose up from bed and bent down to pick up the bathrobe and wrapped it around his body. "Time to get up now, Mitsu or we can be late to school."

"Okay." Tezuka's loving gaze followed the slender boy until the other disappeared in the bathroom, a genuine smile on his face. It had been four months already. Four happy sweet months.


"Fujiko-channnnnnn!" A 'ball' mixed of red and white and black bounced on Fuji the moment he entered the living room. Fuji giggled and greeted cheerfully while managed to keep his balance with the extra weight on his back "Hi Eiji. Hi mina." He waved at the group of boy sitting all over on the sofa and at some housemaids who were busy serving breakfast. They all greeted in reply, some of them smiled at him.

"Fuji, perfect timing! I've just created a new juice early this morning. Wanna have some for your breakfast?" Inui pulled a small bottle out of his bag and swayed it in front of his face with proud and excitement, effectively making everyone around him turn pale and dash away.

"Of course!" Fuji's blue eyes shone as he reached out and took the bottle before opened it and drank (whatever in it) happily. Eiji jumped quickly from his back like he had been burned while the others stared at him in horror. Fuji couldn't see Tezuka's expression since the boy was behind him but he was sure the other was suppress rolling his eyes.

Fuji couldn't help but grin. This small reunion had become a routine every morning if they had school and he really liked it. Right after they became lovers, Tezuka introduced Fuji with his personal assistants (or his team like he preferred to call them): Oishi was the manager of the group; Inui was in charge of information and weapon; Eiji, Kaidoh and Momo were fighters and Echizen was a hacker. Fuji and them had got along very well since then. Especially Eiji, he and the red head had quickly become best friend, even to the point that made Tezuka jealous sometimes. Fuji had teased him about it at first by pretending to act even more intimately toward the energetic boy but Tezuka soon found out and Fuji had to spend the whole week later in bed. Not to mention being teased mercilessly by his new friends (he had no idea that even Oishi could be sadistic). After that, Fuji made a mental note to never do things like that ever again.

"Suysuke, you need to go now or you'll miss the bus." Tezuka's voice woke him up from his trance. Fuji smiled and waved his hand while walking toward the main door "I'll go ahead. Bye mina."

"Bye." They said in chorus. When the slender boy finally disappeared, Eiji whined louly "I still prefer Fuji going with us, nya~"

"We do, too." Oishi sighed, patting his friend's back "But it's better to keep Fuji's relationship with us a secret for now. You know about the rumor Eiji. Fuji may be in danger if our enemy find out."

'Yes, the rumor.' Eiji mused, his fists clenched.

The underground world in Tokyo was spreading a rumor.

That an old enemy of Kamikaze clan had returned.

And there would be revenge. Bloody revenge.


"Tadaima." Fuji greeted as he stepped into the living room. "Okaeri." Tezuka replied as he stood from the couch and walked toward the smaller boy. "You are late." The taller boy said, still with his casual tone but Fuji could hear the unsaid part "I'm worry." in it. He smiled apologetically at the other "Sorry. The bus was slow, due to heavy traffic."

"Young master." A servant entered the room and bowed at Tezuka "Your parent's secretary called to inform that they will return from Nagoya tomorrow."

"Ah." Tezuka nodded. Since he practically lead the clan now, his parent had spent most of their time on travelling lately. They went to Nagoya with his grandfather to visit some relatives a month ago.

"And the secretary also said that there will be a guest coming with them."

"Who?"

"Lady Kinoko."

Tezuka's face suddenly darkened and his aura was tenfold colder, making the poor servant in front of him shuddered visibly. Fuji looked at his lover, curious and confused "Who is Lady Kinoko?"

Tezuka exhaled deeply before answered "She is my fiancée."


"Suysuke, I'm sorry. I don't mean to hide it from you." As soon as they was inside their room Tezuka pulled Fuji into a tight hug "This engagement was decided when we were very young and I haven't had a reason to protest against it before. But now I have so when my family arrives tomorrow, I will tell them everything and try to persuade them." He pulled away to look into Fuji's eyes worriedly, pleadingly "Please believe me, Suysuke."

Fuji smiled softly, his hand came up to caress Tezuka's cheek "Of course I believe you. You're worry too much, Mitsu."

"You didn't say even a thing on the way to our room." Tezuka pointed out but he looked extremely relieved.

"Ah, I was just thinking..." Fuji paused briefly before continued "whether we should tell your family or not."

"What?"

"You are your parent's only son, Mitsu. And moreover, the future leader of your clan. You need an heir." Fuji stated bluntly.

"I don't care!" Tezuka's voice was possessive "What the point of being the most powerful person in this clan if I can't even be with the one I love? About my family, I will persuade them no matter how difficult it take. So don't try to leave me Suysuke because I will never allow it!" He hissed those last words almost desperately.

There was a brief moment of silence before Fuji burst into laugh "I've said nothing about leaving you Mitsu. Why do you think I want to do that?"

"You don't? But you said...it sounded like you wanted to give us up."

Fuji smiled and held Tezuka's hand "I will always be with you even if you get married, Mitsu. As long as you love me. And I don't think your wife or your family can stop you from doing it, right?"

Tezuka smiled genuinely and lean forward to kiss the other's forehead "Nothing can. And nothing will." He whispered lovingly before pulled away and sighed "But it's still a silly idea. It will be unfair to you, you know."

Fuji smiled softly, burying his face in Tezuka's chest "Nothing is fair in love and war."
