Chapter 2: Best friend
Tokiya looked at the thick books on his table with a smirk on his face. He's been reviewing the lessons he knew for a decade already. If it wasn't for the fact that he's totally bored and looking for something to waste his time with, he won't be reviewing this lessons. For god's sake, he already memorized every single detail in each book including all the nonsense information the author wrote in the book. Boy, he sure is bored.
He galanced at his clock and noticed that it's already past six in the evening.
'Time surely past by so easily when you're preoccupied in something.'
He decided to cook dinner and then read a little bit about those books and then sink down on the soft mattressof his bed and drift in his own oblivious slumber. He planned it carefully so that everything will be in order. That's the way he deals with things from the very first tick of the clock in the morning to the last tick of the clock in the evening. He was about to stand up when his phone rang and he was forced to sat back on his chair and answer the call.
'This phone call just spoiled everything that I planned this evening. This better be not one of those girls who wanted to get to know me better.'
He lifted the reciever and was greeted by a soft hello from the other line. Somehow, he recognized the voice as Fuuko's but it wasn't her jolly, ussual voice. It was sad and sounded as if she's in pain
"Mi-chan?" Fuuko's voice interupted his thoughts.
"Fuu-chan, what made you call at this hour?" He asked.
"Will it be alright if I ask you to meet me at the park tonight?"
'She sounds like she's been crying.... but why?'
"Umm... sure. I guess it's alright." He answered knowing that Fuuko might need him right now.
"Ok. See you later at around six thirty ok?"
"Ok. Ja matte ne!"
"Ja."
He waited until Fuuko put the reciever down before he put his own down. Something seems to be wrong with his best friend. She sounded as if she was about to cry and break down on him.
'Kurei must have something to do with this somehow.'
He decided to change his clothes and then meet Fuuko at the park. While walking, his mind kept on thinking what was wrong with his best friend.
Best friend? He gave out a soft chuckle at the thought of Fuuko being his best friend. That seems to be very impossible since they are the complete opposite of each other. Well that's what he believed before until one day, he was stuying something about magnets and how the two end points with the same charge repel each other and those with the opposite charge attract to each other. That's when he realized that opposite do attract. Somehow, the study made him change his attitude toward Fuuko. They became the best of friends and he began to open up and confide his problems to Fuuko. She was the very first person who saw the other side of the cold Tokiya Mikagami after his sister, Mifuyu, died. As the days turned into months, he realized that she wasn't just a friend to him. She became the most important person in his life. She taught him to feel the emotions he threw away before. He finally addmitted to himself that he is in love with her. The bad thing is Kurei just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and proposed to Fuuko his so- called undying love. He didn't do anything at all. He just watched her fall slowly in the arms of Kurei while knowing deep inside that he have everything to compete with Kurei. He just stood there contented being her best friend whom she can turn to when things are at their worst. For five years and a half, he managed to love her in secrecy, to bear the pain everytime they will meet and she'll just talk about how Kurei show his affection to her. She doesn't even know how she broke his heart when she told him tthat she already answered Kurei's love. Still he didn't say anything about his feelings for her instead he picked up the broken pieces and loved her all over again.
'Funny how I suddenly became sappy because of her. If anybody will find out about these things going in my mind, they'll probably laugh their heart out and it will ruin my reputation. It will definitely be the end of the world for me..... or for them, coz if they DARE to laugh at me, if EVER they will know about this, I'll never hesitate to give them a piece, no, the WHOLE piece of my Ensui to them.'
The moment his mind stopped entertaining the thoughts in his mind, he was already at the entrance of the park looking for Fuuko. He found Fuuko sitting on her favorite swing and swinging herself very slowly. As he walk toward her, he quickly noticed the saddness written all over her face and how the, once and jolly Fuuko was replaced by someone unknown to him. Usually, when he meet her at the park, he'll see her swinging herself too fast, way too fast that she'll freak the hell out of him and get him really worried. But she'll just smile and laugh at him as if he just told her a good joke.
"Stop that Mi-chan. You know damn well that I'm perfectly fine." he'll hear her say sometimes. "Besides, I just want to play with the wind for a while."
'How I love her smile and laughter and the way her lips pronounce the nick name she had given me.'
He finally reached her and watched as she stopped swinging and lift her head to meet him. His baby blue eyes met his deep blue ones tha's filled with saddness and pain.
She stood up and managed to give him a ffaint smile as a greeting. "You came..... I thought you'll never come."
"What made you think that way?"
She didn't reply, they just stared at each other for a very long time, letting silence engulf the two of them as they become oblivious of the things going around them.
By just staring at Tokiya's eyes, Fuuko already found the comfort that she need and somehow, was grateful for that. At least she still have Mi-chan with her and she's sure that he'll always be there for her no matter what. He's her best friend anyway.
Tokiya stared back at her, seeking in her eyes and hoping to find the reason to Fuuko's sad image and why she looks like she's in pain. Then it came to him the only reason that would cause her to act like this.
'Kurei' The name rang in his mind
The silence between them was broken when Fuuko sat back on the swing and stared at the ground. This time, Tokiya managed to bring out the question that had been bothering him.
"Something's wrong, right?" He asked, looking at her and crossing his arms over his broad chest.
He saw her stiffened at his question, then started to swing her self again very slowly. He just watched her expecting for an answer and trying to subside the pain he felt when tears suddenly filled her eyes and silently dropped on the ground. He watched her as she stopped swinging herself and wipe those tears from her eyes.
"Funny. I thought my eyes would be dry by now after that crying I made in my room." She whispered under her breath while trying to stop the tears from falling again, but to no avail.
Tokiya saw her futile efforts of stopping the tears that wanted to escape from her deep blue eyes. He wanted to wipe those tears away because it also pain him seeing her like this. He wanted to kiss those tears away and encircle her in his arms and comfort her. But then, he can't do that because Kurei owns her and he's just her best friend. He finally can't bear to see her like this so, as a last result, he reached for his pockets for his handkerchief and handded it to her.
Fuuko took the handkerchief that he's offering and wipped her tears with it.
"Thanks." She murmured while handing it back to Tokiya.
"You can borrow it for a while. I think you'll be needing it."
Fuuko gave him a faint smile and it was followed by a long, dead silence that was, this time, broken by Tokiya.
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?" he said looking intently at Fuuko.
Fuuko took a deep breath and sighed, trying her best not to cry again. "Kurei..."
"What about him?" Tokiya asked while cursing Kurei under his breath for doing this kind of things to Fuuko. Whatever it is, it seems very painful.
"He broke up with me...." Fuuko managed to say before breaking into silent sobs.
He reached for Fuuko and embraced her. He felt her arms go around his waist and her head burried just below his chest for she was still sitting on the swing, as she cry her heart out.
'I knew it. I knew that that good for nothing villain will do her no good. To hell with you Kurei." Tokiya cursed Kurei. If only thoughts could send daggers to the heart of that person, Kurei would probably be lying on the floor and bathing with his own blood now.
"He just broke up with me for no reason at all. I.... don't understand him...."
"Go on, cry out the pain that he caused you."
And cry, she did, snuggling closer to Tokiya as she clutched the handkerchief in one hand. She cried, hoping that evry tear that escaped her eyes will somehow lessen the pain she's feeling at that moment while Tokiya gently brush his hand on her back and comforting her, hoping that somehow, he can lessen the pain she's feeling. Wishing that he can take all the pain away so that she won't feel them anymore.
After at least ten minutes, Fuuko finally stopped crying but she can still feel the pain inside her. She's just grateful that somehow, it was lessen by Tokiya's comfort. She withdrew herself from him and stood up.
"I'm sorry you have to see me like that..."
"It's okay." Tokiya replied.
"Thank you for being there Mi-chan. You really helped in lessening the pain I feel."
"That's what I intend to do Fuu-chan."
"Thanks."
Then another long silence passed between them. Tokiya stared at her, looking at her sad face, wishing that he can make that face glow again just like before. Wishing that he can burry this sad Fuuko and revive the cheerful Fuuko he knew.
"Come. I'll take you home." Tokiya said, stretching his hand toward Fuuko.
"But---"
"You need some rest."
Fuuko then took his hand and let him led her to her house. He's right. She do need some rest. She felt tired and sleepy already. She put her arm around his left hand and rest her head on his shoulder.
Tokiya let her do as she pleased. He took a sideway glance at Fuuko and saw that she was staring particularly at nothing. He sighed knowing that the pain that Kurei had caused her will take a long time to heal.... But he'll be there for her and he'll help her forget and heal the wounds that Kurei had caused her.
