The morning rays of the friendly sunlight shone right through the windows
of Rukawa's house, to the floor and on his skin. As the warmth landed upon
his brows and his bangs, Rukawa opened his eyelids bit by bit and stared
blankly at the ceiling. No, he didn't want to think back and remember the
incident last night that happened between him and Chizu, but it all just
strodes back into his mind. Rukawa rolled out of bed and his feet hit the
icy floor that had been freezed by the cold air conditioner. His pyjamas
were all crumpled and messed up, and his hair was all fuzzy and out of
place.
When he was about to walk into the shower room to undress himself and bathed, he heard tickings on the glass door to the balcony. His curiousity filled his mind so he decided to see what makes the irritating sound. Then he saw a pebble, as big as a thumb nail, went flying and hit the glass. Who on earth is crazy and daring enough to throw a rock to his balcony. He slid the door open and walked out. He saw something that was thrown in the air. He automatically lifted up his arms to dodge the flying object. But out of his thoughts, it wasn't a rock, but a folded piece of paper tied onto a silver paper-wrapped box. He took a deep breath in relief, glad that the thought of him hit in the head and getting a brain damage didn't come to life.
Rukawa bent down over the balcony fence to peek down and see who's doing this peculiar things. He thought that he'll perceived a figure of a little brat with a handful of pebbles, but it surprised him to find no one there. So the only thing he could possibly do now is read the writings written on the folded paper that was glued to the box.
Rukawa : Nanda kore…? *scratches his head*
Lazily he unfolded the paper and read the smudged writings carefully.
1 We're waiting downstairs in your yard…
Rukawa : What?! What's this supposed to be? A threat by a burglar?! *mutters and grumbles to himself, yet he followed the letter*
He stepped down the stairways and followed the path inside the living room that leads to the main entrance of the house. His heart was beating fast, afraid that the peson or people that's waiting for him were bunch of robbers and thieves. When he turned the doorknob, every inch of his muscle was tense, filled with cautious.
People : Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rukawa : *jumps back in surprise* What?! What the… Huh? Chizu…? Nanao- cha…n?
Chizu : A special good morning call to Rukawa Kaede…!
Keisuke : A man behind many secrets!
Nanao : *walks forward to Rukawa and bows down* Gomen ne, Kaede-san for saying bad things to you… I didn't mean it… really…
Machi : *walks and stands beside Nanao and tugs Rukawa's pyjamas lightly* Why didn't you tell us? All these times…
Rukawa : Chotto matte… Just what do you all mean…
Keisuke : *rubs his chin and grins* I'm pretty sure you know, ONI-chan…
Rukawa : I'm not… No I'm not… Your brother! Look at me!
Nanao : You don't have to deny anything anymore, Kaede-san…
Machi : Yeah… *smiles*
Rukawa : …Minna…
Chizu : Kaede-san…
Nanao : *hugs Rukawa's slim waist* We believe in miracles…
Rukawa : Nanao-chan…
Machi : Miracles could happen, you know…
Keisuke : And one has occurred, in front of us…
Rukawa : Keisuke… Machi-chan…
Nanao : Why didn't you tell us earlier…?
Rukawa : Uh.. Well I was… I don't know…
Machi : Is it you don't love us…? That's why you care to leave and abandon us…?
Rukawa : No! No, that's not it… I… I… The task I need to fulfill to be your brother is over… Therefore i…
Keisuke : But that doesn't mean that you can't play with us no more!!
Rukawa : Aa… I… *sigh* Ore… *closes his eyes and kneels* Suman… *wraps his arms around the three youngsters who were standing nearby to him* Hontou ni gomen nasai…
Chizu : *smiles* Kaede-san, have you eaten breakfast?
Rukawa : *looks up* Uh.. No
Chizu : *clasps her hands* Saa kids, seeing that Kaede-san hasn't eaten… Say why don't we make breakfast for him while he go and take a shower…?
Nanao : Ooh! I'd love to! I'll make Kaede Ni-chan the best pancakes ever!!
Keisuke : What are you talking about? You aren't even high enough to reach the kitchen stove without a stool!
Nanao : Oh shut up and stop being so sentimental!!
Machi : I'll help, I'll help!
And the three of them rushed inside to find the kitchen, where they'll be able to cook some morning dishes altogether, for their 'brother', Rukawa Kaede. Now it leaves the lovebirds alone in the patio.
Rukawa : Aah… *rubs the back of his head*
Chizu : Kaede-san…
Rukawa : Please… just call me Kaede or whatever… I don't like that –san thing…
Chizu : Aa…I see I see… suman… Then what should I call you…
Rukawa : Anything but Kaede-san… or Kitsune… *shuts his eyes*
Chizu : *sweatdrop* 'kay then…
Rukawa : *looks at his crumpled pyjamas and blushes* Aaah I think I better take a shower first…
Chizu : …sure… I'll wait for you in the dining room with the kids..
Rukawa : *takes off and heads straight upstairs to the shower room*
Chizu : Matte, Kaede…san…!! Matte, Kaede-san!!!
Rukawa : …yes? *slightly turns his head to his back to face Chizu who had been calling for him*
Chizu : *backs and shakes her head* Aa… Later…
Rukawa : …Okay… *continues to walk away*
Chizu stood there as she watched Rukawa disappear. She continually bit her finger nails and her heart seems to race. She was lost in her deep thought of she should do. Whether to confess to him and at least brings back the love that's in the air when he was Sendoh Akira or not. She tried to think of a sentence of a phrase to begin their conversation later on, but things just doesn't seem to come out right.
Chizu : What should I do…?
Meanwhile on the other hand, Rukawa undressed himself off his pyjamas and threw them to the floor before the door that connects his bedroom to the bathroom. He walked naked into the shower box and turned the water on. Beads of electrically-warmed water runs down from his cheekbone unto his broad shoulder blades, and dripped down to the surface of the bathroom.
Rukawa : Maa.. I'm glad they all have recognized me… Demo…
He grabbed the slippery soap in his wide hand rubs it against his neck, down to his bare skin on his muscled-chest. Suddenly he stopped, and pressed his hand against the wall. He then rested his forehead that was covered with his dark, wet bangs upon it and bit his lower lip.
Rukawa : Demo… Does Chizu still love me…? Is it still the same…? Or is she in love with the figure of Sendoh?
When he was about to walk into the shower room to undress himself and bathed, he heard tickings on the glass door to the balcony. His curiousity filled his mind so he decided to see what makes the irritating sound. Then he saw a pebble, as big as a thumb nail, went flying and hit the glass.
