The Bishonen of February
Chapter 6
Everything was blurry and her head was spinning, her mind cloudy. Then it all became clear as her Advil began to kick in.
"Glad to see you're still here and that we didn't scare you away." Kina smirked as she looked at Yue, who had just woken up, "Nuriko and Hotohori are off to work so you and I are going to go watch Mikey race his bishonen, Chibi Duo. The kids do it every year and this year the prize is $250!"
"I REFUSE to partake in such a cruel race as to make my kind race for money." Yue crossed his arms, "This is horrible." He ate his breakfast and dressed quickly.
"I know it SOUNDS bad but the bishonen love to do it also." Kina grabbed his arm and pulled him outside, towards the area of the race.
"Kina! Yeah! I was waiting for you!" Mikey ran up and hugged her waist.
"Sorry but Nuriko and Hotohori couldn't come." She frowned. Kina knew Mikey had wanted them to see him race Chibi Duo, "But I did bring along Yue!" She indicated to the quiet figure behind her.
"Wow! Cool!" Mikey smiled and looked at Yue then he ran off to the starting area.
"Good luck!" Kina called after him.
"Thanks!"
"That's Mikey. He was orphaned when he was really little so all he remembers is being tossed from foster home to foster home."
Yue nodded, taking in what Kina had just said.
-"The race is about to begin!"- A voice boomed over a loud speaker. The two walked over to see a loud crowd of adults, mostly parents proudly cheering on their child as they entered the race.
"The rules are: Only children between the ages 8 and 11 may enter. Their bishonen must be at the Chibi stage and NO cheating and/or rough playing. You most complete one lap around the track." The voice boomed again. Kina looked at the track, it was almost a mile long and all of it was visible except one small area that went through some bushes and tall trees. The track was mostly zigzags.
"On your marks." The crowd quieted.
"You're going down!" A scrawny bishonen yelled at Chibi Duo. Chibi Duo ignored him and smiled.
"Get set...GO!" As their tiny feet pushed off, the bishonen shoved Chibi Duo, causing him to tumble over in the dirt. Before anyone could see him, the bishonen ran off with the others.
"Come on Chibi Duo! You can do it! I believe in you!" Mikey yelled. The tiny braided bishonen stood up and took off in a flash.
"Why that little...!" Yue growled and Kina frowned after they saw what the bishonen had done to Chibi Duo.
"I'll be right back!" Yue took off his jacket and opened his wings, then flew off towards the forest part of the track.
"Wait!" Kina yelled but her words fell on deaf ears. Chibi Duo was now neck and neck with the same bishonen that pushed him, both battling for first. Chibi Duo had made a huge come back with the support of Mikey. They neared the forest-covered part of the track; Kina saw them go in but only one came out. And it was Chibi Duo. Yue smiled as he tripped the scrawny bishonen that had shoved Chibi Duo. Chibi Duo sprinted across the finish line.
"And the winner is...Chibi Duo!" Mikey ran up, proudly hugging his prized friend and bishonen, Chibi Duo. "You're the best!" the two grinned ear to ear. Yue calmly walked back to Kina as if nothing had ever happened.
"Why'd you do that?" Kina questioned.
"Do what?" Yue replied softly and Kina nodded with the answer to her own question shining in her eyes.
"That was great!" Kina smiled and patted Mikey's back, "But the real winner is Chibi Duo!" Mikey grinned and nodded.
Yue thought to himself and he could feel his insides start arguing again. "You actually HELPED a kid win a bishonen race? It goes against everything you believe in. What kind of bishonen are you? Traitor. Traitor. TRAITOR!" The voice hissed at him with venom and hatred. Yue grabbed his head and sunk to the floor. "NO! NO! I'M NOT A TRAITOR! NO!" Yue screamed. Kina leaned down and put her hand on Yue's back.
"Hey are you ok?"
"Don't TOUCH me!" Yue shoved Kina away from him and opened his wings again to their full wing span, a few loose feathers falling to the floor. Then he took off through the air until he was deep in the forest. "What have I done?" Yue brushed hair off of his sweating forehead. "I am a traitor to my kind."
~~
Kina looked at where Yue had once been standing. "I lost February in only a week. But he was more than just February." She muttered, walking to her apartment in shock.
~~
Yue looked down at his reflection in the water, before all this happened his life was all wandering, finding bishonen trainers to torture and he had no place that he belonged to. But now he had found one.
~~A song softly played in the distance, in the minds of Yue and Kina~~
I close my eyes and I keep seeing things,
Rainbow waterfalls,
Sunny liquid dreams.
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt.
Got to get to you.
But I don't know how.
Call me call me.
Let me know it's all right.
Call me call me
~~
Kina looked up from her table, she had no idea what to do, this had never happened to her before. She wiped her forehead, exposing the small, blue triangle.
~~
Don't you think it's about time?
Please won't you call and,
Ease my mind,
Reasons for me to find you,
Peace of mind,
What can I do To get me to you?
~~
Yue splashed the water. What was it about that girl? He remembered when she splashed him at the beach. It was fun. Fun. But should he be having fun after all that happened? His life had been fine before she butted her head into his business and now everything was upside down. He tried to clear his head but all he could think of was Kina. Her.
~~
I had your number quite some time ago.
Back when we were young
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now,
Got to get to you
Won't you tell me how?
Call me call me
Let me know you are there
Call me call me
~~
Kina frowned. She had gotten too attached. All the other bishonen where different, not like him. And she was the one to make them leave when the month ended, they weren't suppose to leave whenever they wanted, they just weren't allowed to! She missed him. Often she would miss them but would get over it quickly, but this was different.
~~
I want to know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do?
To get me to you
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
~~
Yue stood up and began to fly. In his mind he didn't know where he was going, but his heart knew.
~~
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
Reasons for living my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you
Peace of mind
What can I do To get me to you?
