Hidden in the dark
Kaede Rukawa walked around listlessly, not really knowing where to go. He wondered again and again what he'd done wrong that Kami-Sama was letting him suffer this much. He closed his eyes, not caring I the least that a car might run him over. Actually, he decided, it was the best thing for him. Anything to rid his mind off from the harrowing experience he's going through. Seeing Hanamichi get close with Sendoh really hit him hard. It was as if somebody struck a knife in his chest and it was being twisted. again, and again, and again.. He sighed, and turned around a corner of the street and started walking aimlessly, yet again. It's a little early for him to go home, so he didn't mind walking around. He wished he could just play basketball until late in the night and let all his frustrations and anger to subside at least for a little while.
But he couldn't.
Not now.
Not when those two are hanging around in there, too.
Lately, those two had been staying late inside the gym and play their now-famous one-on-one game. They would play and only come out hours, hours later. And, as though that weren't enough, the two of them would head over at Danny's (insert-( why Danny's always?!) and eat dinner. Together.
Well, he obviously had done enough spying around to get all these information. Rukawa sighed, and reached an intersection. Unconsciously, he turned left and sent a heart-felt glance at the velvety sky. The light wind ruffled his black mane, and he shivered. He tightened his jacket around his shoulders, hoping for a litlle warmth and comfort. The warmth and comfort that he's lacking.. But it seems that he couldn't have any of that now.
"Why am I so stupid? And why the hell did I have to fall for that do'aho, of all people? Why am I so fucking gay??!" Rukawa berated himself mentally.
He'd done enough thinking and he cannot fully comprehend how the guy the love the most was also the same guy that brought him so much pain. He shook his head and stopped dead in his tracks, trying to discern where he'd gotten himself to. Shocked, he found himself at the do'aho's street. He walked a few more steps, and he found himself in front of Hanamichi's house. He stared inside the house and noted that the lights were off, indicating that there was no one inside the house.
Suddenly, a loud laugh broke the stillness of the street.
"Nyahaha!"
Rukawa's heart leapt to his chest. That's his do'aho. That's when he heard the second voice. He narrowed his eyes and lowered himself. He crept along the shadows, not daring to make a sound.
"Nyahahaha! Thanks again for the food, smiley! I think you and I will be the best of friends if you continue feeding me every night!" Sakuragi said, laughing.
Sendoh was a bit hurt by this. "Just best friends, Hana?" he thought, but kept it to himself. He plastered a smile in his face.
"Well, not every night! Even the Sendoh bank account wouldn't handle all that!" They both laughed. After a while, Sakuragi got a pensive look on his face.
"Hana-kun? What's wrong?" Sendoh asked, noticing the look on his face.
"Nothing. I was just thinking. I realized that you and the Kitsune are so muck alike in many ways."
Sendoh was taken aback by this, but he didn't show this.
"Oh? Me and Rukawa alike? This I gotta hear."
"Well, first of all, both of you are spoiled brats. Both of you are filthy rich and have quite a talent on basketball. Just quite. You aren't as good as the Tensai! Nyahahaha!"
Sendoh laughed. "Of course, of course. But hey, is that it?"
"Well.. well.. both of you are good-looking, too." said Sakuragi, blushing. Thankfully, it was dark and Sendoh couldn't quite see the blush that was staining his cheeks. He didn't want the smiley to think that he was blushing because of him. Actually, it was because of some blue-eyed kitsune's face that floated in his mind's eye.
"Good-looking, huh? Well, we cant all be blessed, ne?" asked Sendoh, grinning and touching his chin in a teasing manner.
"Nani?! What are you trying to say? That the tensai isn't handsome? I bet you just didn't know, but this tensai has a lot of crazy admirers! Nyahaha!"
"Yep, and one of those crazy admirers is standing right in front of you. Too bad, you cant feel it." Sendoh thought.
After a while, there was a pause, and Sakuragi got that pensive look again.
"What's wrong again, ne Hana-kun?"
"Nothing. Have you ever wondered about Kitsune? Sometimes, you know, I think that he's so sad, always keeping himself away from the others. And I've never even see him smile. I've often wondered how great it would feel to make him smile. Just once. Even once." Sakuragi said, more to himself, than to Sendoh.
Sendoh narrowed his eyes, but kept that stupid grin on his face. But inside, his thoughts were churning. That line didn't sound promising. Does his Hana liked Rukawa? Well, its about time to know. He quickly asked questions, hoping to ask the ones that would trigger the answers he's looking for.
"I see. But why didn't you befriend him or something?"
"I really don't know. It seems that we started off the wrong foot. And there's thing about Haruko-chan." At the mention of Haruko's name, Sakuragi turned chibi, and hearts replaced his eyes. Sendoh chuckled at this, but his ego just took a beating a there. Sakuragi continued on.
"And man, even if I did tried befriending him, I bet he would just bite my head off! Remember what he did to you? You were totally pushed away!" Sakuragi sounded lost.
"I know. Rukawa is such a bastard. He's totally rude too, not to mention king of ice and a total show-off!" Sendoh said, making Rukawa sound as if one of the forces of evil. Sakuragi frowned at this.
"A show-off maybe, but he's nice.. Distant and cold, but nice. And he really cares about the team, you know. He's actually one of the main reasons why we came this far." Sakuragi protested.
"Hey, wait a minute! Did I just defend the kitsune? Man, this is bad."
Sendoh was giving him a weird look.
"Oh shit man, even Smiley notices it! Arrgh! What am I thinking?!"
"Well, id better go inside. You too smiley. Go home. It's late. Wouldn't want you get mugged or something. Okay? Bye!" Sakuragi said, wanting so much to go inside and kick his shin.
"Are you okay Hana-kun? You look a little pale." Sendoh asked, sounding totally concerned.
"What? Uh.. Yeah."
"Something's bothering you, I can tell."
"No, I'm okay, really."
"You sure?"
"YES! Just go home!" Sakuragi yelled in frustration.
"Well, okay. If you say so! Ja!"
"Bye! And if I hear you spreading this stuff we talked about, ill head butt you!"
Sendoh just sweatdropped.
Sakuragi turned around and faced his house, finally alone. He didn't notice the rustling of the tree just outside his house, nor the two, cold blue eyes that was following his every move.
Rukawa stood still in the shadows, trying to calm his racing heart. They had been discussing him. And that Sendoh! The nerve of that maggot to bad-mouth him. He made a mental note to kill the guy by a slow and painful death. However, he felt a little light-headed remembering his do'aho's entire defense against him He crept outside the shadows, walking towards the unknowing redhead. He had to tell him, once and for all. He stood in front of the redhead's back and loudly cleared his throat. This caused the red head to turn around. And when he saw him, his mouth fell open.
"We have to talk, Hanamichi."
