53. Accidents...


Tomoe woke up and moaned, His eyes were heavy and so was his limbs. His headache was gone but now he was weakly staring at his clock. He looked at it and let his eyes close again..Until he looked again and gasped out in shock.

It was five in the evening?! WHAT THE CRAP!?

He threw his covers off and quickly pulled on a new shirt, He pulled it over his head and then yanked his door open, trying tofix his pants. He could not believe he slept that late! The fox hissed as he ran down the stairs and made his way towards the kitchen.

Tomoe slammed the door open and saw his father sipping coffee and reading a newspaper. The god looked up with wide eyes; then he looked at the clock and then sighed heavily as he looked at his rattled son.

His hair was everywhere and he looked refreshed; but the god supossed that was going to happen to someone who slept all the other day and half the day now. He sat his cup down and looked at the fox as he pulled out a glass and started to pour some orange juice.

His hands were shaking as he poured and the gd knew that the fox could feel his stare. To be honest he was still upset at Tomoe's actions but no one could stay mad at Tomoe for long. He had a good head on his shoulders; when he did something there was a reason.

Mikage sighed when his E-mail went off and he clicked a link. It was another prayer again.. He sighed heavily and read it; but his mind was on his son who was gulping his juice down and trying to do whatever to his pants and shirt.

He looked flustered and confused; as if he was completely out of it for sleeping so late. The god would have told him to stay home because of his little incident, but he thought that the fox went though enough torture last night when his head was pounding in his skull.

Tomoe suddenly looked at the clock and swore loud enough for Mikage to look at him shocked. That was a new word...

The fox cursed again, his face flushed as he grabbed his jacket and then moaned at the idiotic timing. He was muttering how he would never make it in time and how messed up he was. The god found this interesting until he closed his laptop and looked at him,

" Do you need a ride?"

The fox paused and then looked at him; his eyes were saddened and the man knew why. Their relationship had plummented rather quickly lately and now all that was happening was weighing on both of them. Tomoe looked exhausted again... The refreshed look disappeared as he sighed and looked away.

Mikage took this as a yes and then paused, " Where to?"

The fox looked at him and tugged at his jacket's zipper, "Karaoke?"

The man blinked in shock as he looked at his son. He didn't think Tomoe liked that sort of thing.. but then again he was going out with Nanami and the gang. Was it him or was Tomoe and Nanami strange lately? Ever since everything started happening... They seemed to be getting closer and closer. In a good way? He wasn't sure about that..

Theyir relationship seemed more.. Passionate then it should of been for a friendship. He was a match making god; he knew a few things. He had it pop up on his works computer. Tomoe thought he was always doing work but to be truthful he was always giggling over some of the things that popped up on his screen... Of course.. Not EVERYTHING came up on it.

Which worried him..

The god smiled and stood as he grabbed his car keys off the counter; He followed Tomoe to the car and got into the drivers seat as Tomoe sat quietly in the passaenger seat. He sunk down and put in headphones...

Mikage sighed.. This was awkward..


They pulled up to the parking lot of the karaoke place. Tomoe seemed to climb out of the car before it even stopped. He wanted out of there; it felt like he was choking on all the emotions in that car. He just wanted to relax..

His dad wouldn't understand what he was feeling. Thats why he had to get out of the house.. Mikage had looked at him several hundred times and even said a few things that made no sense. Everything hurt as he sat there... he wanted out of the car anyway. The fox felt clastrophobic... The walls on the vehical seemed to close in on him.

This was a fear he never told his father about; he hated riding in the car or bus. Mostly the car of cousre. It just sent back bad memoires.. Like being in the backseat and...And..

The fox shook the thought away and swallowed; the music took his mind off of it but he still wanted to run out of the car. He wanted out of it! It wasn't his father or whats was going on! It was the memoires.. It was the terrorifing feeling he was getting.. He wanted to beat the door down; but he settled when pinning his nails into the interior.

Mikage caught this but he didn't say anything... How could he? His son was listening to music at the time and it could how been because they were in the same car together. He sighed as Tomoe bolted as fast as he could; he didn't see how Tomoe gasped for air when he got out of the car...

Mikage did see Tomoe had his rubber band and he saw welt marks from the last few days... he winced seeing the raw red skin.. To think that he didn't see that before it happened and became an addiction. That had sickened him; not Tomoe but himself..

His little boy was hurting himself...

He sighed and Tomoe went to grab his headphones from the seat when Mikage looked at him, " I'll pick you up at nine."

Tomoe nodded but didn't say anything; He gripped his headphones and closed the door; then he went inside the karaoke parlor.
The god sighed...

What was he going to do?


Tomoe walked into the parlor to see Mizuki singing a song and Nanami laughing at him. Kurama was looking at his watch; but soon turned around to see Tomoe looking at them.

" Your late.." Kurama smirked and Nanami gasped and giggled. She sprang up and hugged Tomoe; shocking him completely. Even Mizuki missed a note on his song as the girl gripped his hair and held him close for a few seconds.

When she pulled back she patted his head.. In-Front-Of-Everyone... He blinked as her fingers touched his ear and his mouth almost fell open. Tomoe blushed crimson and backed up rather quickly, his heart pounding. Stupid animal hormones...Kurama looked at Nanami but she seemed to have no clue as to what she just did.. He was shocked to see her touch Tomoe like that..

But then again it did explain a few things that Tomoe keeped locked up to himself.'

" I thought you were dead!" She pouted, reminding Tomoe of the girl from when they were little. He bit his lip and Kurama mtioned that wasn't a good idea.. The fox looked at him conufsed so the Tengu grabbed his shoulder and pulled the fox away from the group.

" Your teeth..."

Tomoe looked at him confused but ran his tongue over his kanine. He winced as pain shot through his tongue and Kurama clucked his tongue, " All she did was touch your ear; doesn't take you much to get riled up now does i-"

Tomoe hissed but it was hard for him to hide his own blush. He was acting stupid... Everytime someone touched his ear; this happened. So it wasn't the girl who did it... even though she was the only one that really touched his ears. He swallowed...

The fox rolled his eyes before being pushed into the karaoke room. There was already food and stuff on the table and the fox sighed as Nanami handed him a soda. This sort of thing really wasn't his thing... giving that people were singing all around.

Plus Mizuki was singing Toxic and Tomoe was dying from the disgusting display. He gagged and sipped his drink as Nanami sat beside him. People were clapping as Mizuki danced about like an idiot. He winked at a woman that could be in her twenties and she looked uterlly disgusted.

The teen was an idiot; sadly Kurama and Tomoe saw him as a younger brother so they couldn't kill him; no matter how hard they wanted too. He finished his song with a headbang and Tomoe literally turned his back on him.

Nanami snorted in laughter as she leaned back on the backless, Purple couch. She laughed but then paused when he hand touched something fluffy. She didn't know what it was but she yanked it rather harshly to see what it was.

She looked at it and blinked at its white appearance; when she looked up everyone was looking at her like she was a pervert . Suddenly Tomoe yanked the tail away from her and stared at her in shock. His face colored and his ears flattened before he nearly screamed out,

" Nanami! I told you thats off limits!"

Sadly Tomoe just realized how wrong that sounded and his ''Brothers'' Found it as the perfect opertunity to tease him, " SO! Whats NOT off limits?" They winked at him and he stood up and growled; his face burned as he walked to the drink dispenser and tried to screw his head on straight.

Stupid idiots. She was just his friend. He wans't into relationships or love, Why?

It didn't exst..

His dad said he helped peopel get together; but if you didn't even have love for your own children? Then it didn't exist. This is what Tomoe believed. Love was stupid and Humans clung to it to get rid of their life problems, at least he knew the truth... Didn't he?

He blinked when something hit his hand and when he looked down? He saw his soda pouring on his hand from overfilling it. He growled and released the button to let the soda flow. Then he poured some out of his cup and put a lip on the cup.

When he walked back he saw Nanami singing, ' I was always love you.' He rolled his eyes; like he thought earlier.. If parents couldn't care for their kids? And if what people called love was nasty day-dreams? Then love didn't exist...

The fox leaned back and sipped his drink; love didn't exist, if it did than it would be his mom and dad. That was love... but.. Love didn't exit for him; and he didn't want it to . He wasn't interested in loe or liking someone. Not right now.. not ever. People just brought pain... and he really didn't need anymore of that.
His father already did a great job at making his life a royal wreck..


Mizuki looked over at Tomoe. He looked deep in thought; but he also looked out of it. As if he was mad at his dad again; it wouldn't surprise him though.. Something was up with those two and he didn't know what it was.

The snake glanced over at Nanami; she was wearing a cute pink skirt with a yellow tank top. She was wearing white thigh socks and her pigtails were loose but waving out. The snake sighed to himself and waited for his turn again.

They offered Tomeo the mic but he gave them a, ' Are you kidding me?' Look, and so he was passed by. Mizuki laughed but then paused when his phone went off. He blinked in shock as he pulled at his cell and saw the number.

Suddenly all his joy left and he went pale. Why you ask? His phone was chiming and freaking him out. The ring was like an amber alert to his ears; freaking him out and making his stomach turn. He lifted his phone to his ear and swallowed,

" Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Yonomori?"

The snake froze but nodded slowly; he breathed in sharply before nodding; his phone slowly slipped from his grasp, falling into the floor. The ring dial sounded and it erupted into Tomoe's ears.. He winced and looked over at the pale snake.

When he did he saw Mizuki grow pale. He didn't know why but the snakes phone literally fell from his hand. It clashed into the floor as Mizuki stood there frozen. Tomoe slowly stood up in alarm and Kurama looked at him,

" Hey whats going on?" Kurama's furrowed his brow as Mizuki whimpered and looked at him, All he had to do was mouth the words, Hospital now, and Kurama moved.
Tomoe stood there in confusion as Kurama chucked Mizuki his jacket and then looked at Tomoe. He winced as he reached forward to pat Tomoe's shoulder. The fox stood there and for a second he could of swore he saw a large bruise on Kurama's arm. He shook it off as Kurama's hands connected with his shoulders.

" Lady Yonomori got worse. Do you guys want to go to the hospital with us?" He looked behind Tomoe and for some reason the fox self aware that Nanami was standing behind him. His muscles tensed intil he turned to see Nanami with a determined expression.

" Lets go.. Call Tomoe's dad to let him know though." Nanami mouthed it out and Tomoe looked at her surprised. How did... He winced, Did she hear his agruing with him earlier? It was possible.. They were never really talking now a days. Well, He and his father wasn't.

Kurama nodded and winced, " Get in the car now.. I'll call him on the way." He pulled out his phone and ran out the door leaving Tomoe to collect his jacket.

What did he mean bye worse? And why did Kurama have a bruise the size of a fists on his arm? Tomoe swallowed as bile rose up in his throat. His phone buzzed and when he picked it up he blinked to see his father's words'

' Enjoy yourself at Karaoke. I'm going to Izumo.'

Tomoe stared at the text in shock; he didn't know what to say to this. It shocked him and for some reason his ears pinned in shock. Just like that and he was going to pack up and leave? The fox alost chucked at his phone at the music box; His hand clenched the metal as he mentally screamed.

" You liar.." Tomoe muttered to himself as he shoved his phone in his pocket; he didn't care anymore.. What did he have to care for? Mizuki's mom was dying; his father wouldn't understand. Nanami was acting weird.. Nothing was the same anymore and it was stressing Tomoe out.

" Hey we should go.." Nanami looked at him and he blinked. She smiled slightly and patted his shoulder before furrowing her brow. Was she picking it up? What he was feeling towards everything in his life? None of it made sense anymore.. Now his father was off the Izumo again and Tomoe wanted nothing more then to kill himself... Kill himself for not getting to see the dirty rotten idiot anymore.

His head was screwed off of his body and swirling about; his cursed and ran forward. He had to think about Mizuki and his mom. It was the only thing right to do; he had to help his little brother, what else could he do?


They had been sitting there for hours it seemed... Kurama was pacing and Tomoe was trying to figure this all out, he knew Mizuki's mother had cancer. It was a known fact; in fact Mizuki had called him a few times to break down over the phone.

Tomoe knew what it was like... To see the person you love pass away. His mother was thrown out of the car unto the pavement; her bloody body haunted him everynight. The crushed metal sent chills through his spine.. and the thought of the matel sticking out of her abodomen sickened him.

The fox shuddered and froze when a nurse walked up to Kurama and muttered a few things; Mizuki was behind her and he looked like the world was gone...
The white haired teens blood ran cold as he stood and looked at Mizuki. The snake looked up and smiled weakly before seeing the nurse pass over some papers to Kurama. The tengu nodded his thanks and she took off..

"Whats going on?" Tomoe looked at them both as Kurama flipped through the papers and then shook his head as he looked at Mizuki. The snake winced and looked at Tomoe before looking down and coughing..

Kurama sighed and looked at Tomoe before huffing out, " Miss Yonamori cant take care of him anymore.. Someone has to take him home or child services get him." The tengu cursed out and threw his papers down in a huff.

He winced at his headache but he then blinked when Gwen walked up to them and smiled, " Hey kids.. What brings you here?" She was wiping her hands from who know's what. Tomoe only knew that he wanted to leave.. His stomach hurt from all the hospital chemicals and his ears were twitching from some people's screams.
Mizuki winced, He would have to stay and be carried away like property. He didn't want that to happen; he was scared... so thats when he was shocked when Tomoe took the papers and wrote his father's name down.

He had been through a lot and they all had each other's back. Tomoe had a feeling kurama's wasn't safe or even close to be being so; that bruise on his wrist proved it. He knew his father wasn't going to be to happy with him signing his name but Mizuki was like family in his own way.

Their house was big and Tomoe knew they had extra rooms for Mizuki. So he signed them.. Gwen saw this and a small smile formed on her lips as she sighed.
" Why don't I drive you kids home?" She looked at Tomoe, Nanami and a rather shocked Mizuki. He was shocked with his older brother; given that they usualy fought and screamed at each other.

Mizuki whimpered slightly and rubbed at his eyes; maybe he wasn't alone? It felt good to know this.. He looked over at Kurama and saw that he would have to go home alone in his own car; and Mizuki knew what he had to go home too.

He also looked over at Tomoe and noticed his eyes were somewhere else; something was wrong with the fox too... His eyes were glassed over and Mizuki wondered where Mikage was. Something was wrong in that little department. He also saw that Tomoe's wrists were covered perfectly..
He wondered if Tomoe still did it.. or if he was tempted to?

Mizuki paused and wondered wheat he would do if he ever caught Tomoe doing that. What would he say? What would he do? Whould he stop him or would he panic like the child he was? The snake didn't know...

Tomoe had never cried in front of him unless it really involved his mother and her death.

Gwen gingled her car keys and they three teens said goodbye to Kurama. When they got out they all got in the car. Mizuki and Nanami in the back while Tomoe sat in the front. The snake didn't get why but he had a feeling something was going on in Tomoe's head at the moment...

He looked liked he wasn't thinking and he was propping his head on the dashboard of the car. Mizuki relaxed back and pasued; he didn't know what to do.. but at least the child services didn't grab him. He shuddered as Gwen started to car.

Tomoe noticed the car was his dad's; it made sense. One did not need a car when they were in Izumo.. Far away... By plane. The fox ground his teeth as the car pulled out and settled on the nightime streets of the city.

The fox didn't like being out on the streets at night; its when people drank the most or thought it was safe to drive recklesly. The fox looked out over the cars and winced.. He opened his window and rolled his eyes when he saw a green car with its music blaring loudly.

Gwen looked up and saw the light go yellow. She slowed down, not expecting for another car to speed up. The car in the lain from across of them speed up also and Tomoe felt his blood run cold. He saw the bright lights approach the front of the car and Mizuki grabbed Nanami and held her close in terror...
Thats when Tomoe's terrorified gasp and scream filled the cold air...

" GWEN!"

And then for some reason everything was black.. And all Tomoe could taste was blood...
