Comfort Gay
Prologue
My name is Tamahome. I do not mind changing my name regardless of what I am now. I was a Suzaku shichiseishi, particularly the lover of the Suzaku no Miko. But that's my past. Miaka, the Suzaku no Miko, is now in her own world. I now have a new life. Despised by other seishis, I don't blame them. This is me.
Chapter 1
"Tamahome!" from a dark and noisy bar, Tamahome herd the voice of the nightclub's manager call his name. Dressed in bright yellow backless blouse and red tight skirt, Tamahome responded to the call.
"Be there in a sec!" he answered in his most girlish tone. Leaving some friends, he turned to his manager, "Money?"
"Yeah big money Tama." The bearded fate manager blinked at him and then pointed out a big time customer. "See that blonde man around the corner? He's big time Tama. Better make him happy, he may give you half a thousand."
"Big time huh?"
"Yeah, now better hurry." The manager pushed Tamahome as he went over the said customer.
"Hi! I'm Tamahome, d-" Tamahome was cut as soon as he saw who the customer is, "Nakago?"
"Yes Tamahome. I saw you dance a while ago. I didn't know you dance that well." His hands trailed Tamahome's neck down to his arms. "You losed all that muscles after some time huh?"
Getting over the shock, Tamahome answered. "I don't know you're off to gay bars yourself. " he chuckled a girlish tone. They talked some more, Tamahome on Nakago's lap. After some time, they decided to go out and do business.
-----------------------
"How'd you get in this work Tama?" in white bed clothe, Nakago asked with his hands brushing Tamahome's hair.
"I'm on this kind of work even before I became a seishi. I stopped for a while for my family. Selling stuffs was really stupid. There's more money in here." Tamahome said.
"How about Miaka?" Nakago bet to kiss Tama on the head.
"She's gone. My family's gone. No one else would care." Tamahome grinned.
"I'm free Tama. I don't know you're this beautiful..." then the two locked lips.
----------------------O----------------------
Alone in his apartment, Tasuki sighed as he looks at their group picture with Miaka and the rest of the Suzaku shichiseishis. He misses them all.
"I don't know that I'll have to go back to being a notorious bandit. I miss you all, don't you know that? Especially you Miaka, I miss my task of protecting you. Also you Nuriko, all that teasing and funny stuffs. And also Chichiri..." the bandit remembered his times with his friends until he came to Tamahome. "You gay! I didn't know you're like that. I'm really thunderstruck that night you asked me to go with you. You're terribly disgusting! I wonder what might Miaka say when she knows all about this." Tasuki said to himself as his fang showed as he grins.
"I wonder what Miaka is doin' right now..."
------------------------O---------------------
"I really hate History!" Miaka's head lay on a pillow, she took a break from studying with Yui. "History of Ancient Egypt! History of Ancient Mesopotamia! History of Ancient Chi..." Miaka's words trailed off.
"What's the matter Miaka?" Yui asked.
"Ancient China... I wonder what's happening in Konan right now." Miaka wondered and thought about her friends, Nuriko, Tasuki, Chichiri, Hotohori, Chiriko, Mitsukake, Tamahome.
"How about the mirror that Taiitsu-kun gave you? Isn't it to let us visit Ancient China once in a while?" Yui suggested. "I'm pretty exhausted from school myself. Why don't we pay them a visit?"
"You're marvelous Yui! I almost forgot about that gift. Come on let's pick it at home and then we're off to Konan!" Miaka exclaimed and dragged Yui out of the house and into the car.
"Hey Miaka, why are you so excited? You just left Ancient China three weeks ago!" Yui holds on tight to the car seat as Miaka drive the car in full speed.
"It's like years in Konan you know and I feel exactly that way. I can't wait to see them all and Tamahome!" Miaka stopped at a sudden halt in front of their house.
"Whew! That's quite a rollercoaster." Yui sighed to herself.
Up in Miaka's room, she turned on the radio and locked the door behind them. She quickly got the compact mirror in her drawer and excitedly opened it. With Yui by her side, Miaka chanted some words:
In the world of endless mystery
Bring us to Ancient China, to Konan
To my dear friends, Suzaku help us!
And with a bright flash of light, Yui and Miaka was teleported to the quiet night of Konan. "So here we are." Yui sighed with a sigh and before she knew it, Miaka was off to the city to look for Tamahome. "Hey Miaka, wait for me!"
-------------------
On the city streets, they looked for signs of Tamahome and the others. "We came from his house just to now that someone's occupying it for thirty buck a month." Miaka sadly said.
"Don't worry. We'll find him soon." Yui put a hand over her friend's shoulder. She knew how much Miaka love the guy.
Miaka saw a familiar figure walking in a distant. "Tasuki!" Miaka ran from Yui to meet the bandit. "Tasuki I miss you!" she put her arms around Tasuki's neck in enjoyment.
"H-help! I-I can't b-breath!" Tasuki choked for air.
"Oh sorry." Miaka loosened her grip. "How's everybody? How are you? Where's Tamahome?"
"Miaka, you're too excited." Yui reminded.
"Could you come to my apartment and cool down a bit?" Tasuki suggested. The trio went on. Tasuki offered tea and they settled for a rest.
"I'm glad you came!" Tasuki said with a huge smile.
"I'm very glad to come back. How's everybody?" Miaka asked once more. She drank her tea with sparkle in her eyes, too hopeful to hear how her friends are doing.
"Well, Chichiri is off with more training and I came back to be a bandit." Tasuki showed them jewels and other treasures from rich people. 'I hope I can distract them from asking about Tamahome.'
"How about the others?" Miaka asked again. It seems that the question couldn't be taken away from her mind.
"They're dead, aren't they?" Tasuki uneasily answered. 'Please don't ask about Tama.'
"And Tamahome?" Miaka has hope in her eyes.
'Shoot! Now what am I going to say?!' "Tama's okay." Tasuki answered, keeping his smile like Chichiri's smiling mask. 'Got to say something fast!' "You know there are a lot of sweets, cakes and ice cream tomorrow morning on the shops. Why don't ya rest and sleep? I'll show you around tomorrow kay?" Tasuki crossed his fingers and hoped that his little scheme would work.
"We'll go at Tama's" Miaka asked.
"We'll go to that." Was all Tasuki said and Miaka went to bed. She hopes that morning may come so she can see Tamahome soon. Tasuki sighed in relief. 'That sure was a close call!' Just then, Yui came up to him.
"Can I talk with you?" she asked. They both came outside Tasuki's apartment and left Miaka upstairs, sleeping soundly. "What's going on?" Yui asked Tasuki, looking at him straight in the eye.
Tasuki was taken entirely by surprise. "Wh-what do you mean?" 'God please not about Tama! I don't want to reveal it myself. I'm not ready!'
Yui urged him and Tasuki here couldn't say anything. "I guess I have to say." To let out the kept secret, Tasuki related the thing about Tamahome. About how he is working in a nightclub. About his relationship with men. About his being gay—a comfort gay.
Yui was shocked. "Tama—home?" she could almost laugh at the idea but Tasuki's downcast expression tells her that he is telling the truth. "Tamahome' got insane. How about Miaka?"
"That's the problem. Tamahome know nothing about the mirror given to Miaka. He believes that she wouldn't return anymore. He told me that it's his profession years before becoming a seishi. He told me that there's more money in being like that than any other. He's disgusting!" Tasuki was angry and at the same time sad for both Tamahome and Miaka. Now that Miaka's back and out searching for him, Tasuki and Yui don't know the next thing to do. Could they keep the secret?
"Miaka's heart would shatter into pieces when she knows." Yui commented.
"Yes, her heart would."
