The Bishonen of February
Chapter 14
"Kina wake up! Happy Valentine's Day!"
The girl slowly opened her eyes to see Yue staring down at her.
"AGHH!!" She screamed and jumped back.
"Hey...my feelings are suddenly hurt."
"Sorry, you scared me. It's early in the morning!" Kina laughed quietly
while making up an excuse for being scared nearly half to death, "Happy
Valentines!" She cheerfully skipped into the kitchen and hugged her
bishonen.
"Today, I'm going to take you somewhere!" Yue looked down at her and
grinned cheekily.
"Ok! But where? Oooohhh how spooky, it's a secret!"
"You gave her chocolate last night didn't you?" Hotohori raised an eyebrow
as he questioned Yue.
"Yeah, so?" Yue gave him a confused look.
"That makes her hyper. I mean VERY hyper." Nuriko sweat dropped.
"WE'RE GOING ON A TRIP!" Kina danced around with Tama and Neko.
~*~
"Ready to go?" Yue knocked on Kina's door, but instead felt him hitting
something soft.
"Ouch!" Kina screamed, "Don't hit me!"
"AH! Sorry!" Yue bowed for forgiveness.
"Kiss my feet! Just joking! Let's go!" She was wearing a sundress and a
straw hat.
Yue smiled at how cute she looked. He was wearing jeans and a white T-
shirt. The two walked out the door.
"Where's Nuriko and Hotohori?"
"Oh this is when they go do whatever they want usually, you know it's a holiday!" Kina nodded then slipped a heart-shaped box of chocolates into
Yue's hand.
"Thank you!" He grinned.
"So where are we really going?" Kina looked up, realizing they where now deep in a forest, "Wait a minute, you're not taking me out to the forest to
kill me are you? AHHH!" She quickly broke away a few feet from Yue.
"No stupid!" Yue moaned, "I'm not that evil. I want to show you somewhere! This is my favorite place to go. It's my own little place I go to when I
need to think and I've never shown anyone it before."
"I feel special now!" Kina smiled and kept walking along side him, if you looked closely you could tell that Yue was a good foot taller than Kina.
"You are special." He said quietly. A rustling came from some bushes
nearby.
"H...hello?" Kina said nervously as they crept towards the bush. Yue
protectively pushed Kina behind him.
"YUE OLD BUDDY!" A young man with dark black-purple like hair jumped out
and hugged Yue.
"V...V..Van?" Yue managed to utter, for the man was holding him in a strong grip then he let go of Yue, thankfully or else Yue would have died from his
oxygen supply being cut off.
"Yeah it's me!" Van stepped back to look at his friend. He was wearing
regular, human clothes. At this Van blinked confusedly but ignored the
strange feeling.
*Van Fanel. His old friend Van! He'd known him since he was a baby.* Yue thought to himself and looked at his friend. He was wearing his regular tan
pants and red shirt that was tied at the top with white string.
"What's up man? I've missed you and raiding those stupid human villages! Where you been ever since we bailed from the cops? I thought they had got
you! I've been searching for you! Hey, there's a bishonen trainer a few miles away, want to go teach them a lesson?" Van blurted out quickly; he wanted to have some fun just like old times. They had been separated when the two where raiding a human village but the police came and they both ran
different ways.
Yue was in a panic and was turning pale. *What am I suppose to do? Thankfully, Kina's still behind me. What do I do? Ahhh! Kina's human! And he still thinks I hate humans! If he knows I'm with a human he'll freak out and kill me! Quick, think Yue think! Just ignore Kina and pretend like you
don't know where she came from. Yeah that might work!* His mind quickly
told him.
"Who are you?" Kina peaked out from behind Yue.
*Oooohh crap! I don't want to hurt Kina's feelings but I've got to do
this!* Yue told himself.
"I'm Van Fanel! And who are you little missy? Lost?" Van flicked the girls forehead, "You're a bishojo aren't you? She yours Yue? Ha, looks like you got a good looking one there! Wait a minute!" He looked at Kina intently,
"You're part human aren't you!"
"Yeah I am! See Yue, I did like I promised I would, I told him I'm part
human and bishojo!" Kina smiled at Yue.
"No, I don't know where she came from." Yue responded to Van, his voice was
monotone.
"Oh, good. For a second I thought you where a traitor! Can you believe it? Boy am I stupid! You wouldn't break your vow to hate humans!" Van shoved Kina, causing her to fall into the dirt, "Leave you little human brat!" He
laughed.
"Don't do...!" Yue stopped himself, telling Kina he was sorry over and over again in his mind, but he knew she couldn't hear him. He couldn't back out on Van though, Van had ran with him when the village was destroyed so many years ago. They stayed together for years tracking down the man that killed his parents and they spent all they're time playing tricks on humans and they both vowed together to always hate humans. They where blood brothers even. How could he go against his friend of over fourteen years for a girl
he had only known for two weeks?
"Yue, come on! Let's go to that place you where going to show me!" Kina
stood up and briskly grabbed Yue's arms.
He shoved her hand off of his arm, "Don't touch me you disgusting human!"
Yue turned and coldly glared at her.
"Y...Yue?" Kina gulped, what was going on? Had he turned on her and
forgotten all that had happened between them.
"Hey, girly! He said leave!" Van screamed at her, pushing her again.
Kina turned and ran into the bushes.
"Come on, let's go Yue!" The bishonen turned towards his friend.
"I can't talk! I'm sorry but I've got a new village I found to terrorize
but it's really risky, I think only I should go." Yue lied.
"Oh sure!"
"Seriously! Next time ok?" Yue looked at Van sternly which made the boy
promptly shut up. He knew that glare and he knew not to mess with it.
"Ok fine! See you later! You know where I'll be." Van turned and stalked
off towards the bishonen village that he lived in.
"Sorry! See you!" Yue waved then quickly turned in the direction Kina had ran off to, "Kina wait!" He yelled, running swiftly and smiled when he saw
her figure still walking towards home.
She ignored him when she heard him calling her name.
"Kina, let me explain!" He grabbed her arm, which she quickly pulled away
from his touch.
"Don't bother! I get it. You saw an old bishonen friend of yours that you use to wreck havoc with and you didn't want to look like a traitor to him.
It's ok."
"Thank you! It's like you read my mind!" Yue smiled, everything was ok
between them, she understood. Everything had turned out perfect!
"Well, read mine." Her eyes hardened in anger but they appeared very hurt behind the anger. After a few minutes of silence Kina raised her arm back
and using all of her strength, she struck Yue across his face.
All the blood drained from his face as a sharp pain tingled on his cheek and then it went numb. A large red mark was on his left cheek and it was in
the shape of a hand.
"Kina wait! I'm sorry! Please let me explain!" But his words fell on deaf ears as Kina turned and ran, crying. Her hat flew off and Yue caught it in
his hands, holding onto it tightly as if it was his only link to life
itself. Rain began to fall, getting harder by the minute. Yue wanted to follow her and explain, he wanted her to understand, but his legs couldn't
move.
~*~
The rain poured down on Kina, drenching her in cold water down to her bones until her body felt numb. She couldn't see anything in front of her; it was either because of the rain or the tears streaming from her eyes. Her breath
came in rapidly as she ran, running to where she did not know; all she
could do was run.
~ ~
And now I'm alone again
No one to turn
No one to go to
Without a hope
Without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is here
I can make believe he is here.
Sometimes I walk alone
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him
And then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.
~ ~
Kina's eyes blurred with more tears. Trying to blink them away, she ran through the forest, not knowing where she was going. He was Yue, the one and only person who she had fallen in love with. He had made her feel like
mush whenever he smiled and he had literally swept her off her feet.
And now, he had broken her heart.
~ ~
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way
I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights
Are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all I see
Is him and me
Forever and forever
~ ~
Kina felt teardrops roll down her cheeks all over again as they splashed
and mixed with the rain. She wished she was with him tonight but she couldn't face him now. She wanted him to hug her, to kiss her, and to tell her that he loved her, but she feared those things would never happen. He
didn't love her. She was just a human.
~~
And I know
It's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although
I know that he is blind
Still I say
There is a way for us.
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare
And everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
~~
Kina sighed again, "Why don't I ever just tell him?" There had been plenty of opportunities, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, and now, she was living the consequences. If he wouldn't tell his friend that he even
knew Kina, then how could he love her? Always in secret, hiding how he feels? But now she wasn't sure how he felt, did he really even like or love her? Maybe it was all an act just to give the dying girl a happy time. All she felt was doubt. She ran faster, only wanting to find a way to escape
the pain in her soul.
~~
I love him
But everyday I'm learning
Without me
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known.
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only
On my own
~~
Kina's foot caught on a root as she went flying forward into a puddle of mud but she pulled herself up, ripping her clothes and piercing pain went through her ankle and leg but she kept running. Branches scrapped against her, the rain came down harder. Kina had had heart pains before but this one was like no other. It felt as if someone had reached inside her chest and was squeezing her heart so hard that she couldn't breath. But now the pain was even more real as she stopped slowly, everything was dizzy and her head pounded as pain surged through her entire body. It hurt. Bad. Then the world went black as it came crashing down around her for the second time.
