Chapter Two
Tsukiyo Hoshi
It was another rainy day in the town of Toyama. It was also another quiet day in the Yagyu mansion. Without the presence of the blue-haired archer there wasn't any laughter anymore. Everyone missed Touma. Sure, it had only been two weeks now but they couldn't help it. Wouldn't you miss someone if they had been a part of your life for so long and then just .. left?
Seiji knew that more than anyone. He missed Touma, he believed, more than the rest of the guys. Sighing, the blonde took a sip of his coffee and looked out the window. Two whole weeks and no call from his friend and he tried not to admit it, but he was beginning to worry.
"I hate rain, don't you agree Seiji?" Shin sat down across from him with the newspaper.
Seiji nodded, "Yeah, It's not exactly helping my mood either."
Shin put his cup down, "What do you mean?"
"Well," he started, "I mean, it's so different around here without Touma. It's.. just strange not hearing his familiar laughter, not having to yell at him to leave you alone..."
"I know what you mean. We're just used to him being around. Don't worry though, I'm sure he'll call soon and tell us where he is, how he's doing, and when he can come visit him." He opened the newspaper, placing the comics on the coffee table knowing that Shuu would come for them sooner or later.
"Maybe I am worrying too much but I can't help it..."
"You really do care about him Seiji. If only he could see this right now, he probably wouldn't have left."
Seiji's head shot up as he stared at Shin, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well," Shin brushed his bangs from his eyes, "You never noticed that during those last few days he was here he was moping around, not sleeping, and definitely paying more attention to you?"
"I-I... No, I never.. never noticed..." He hung his head as he thought about what Shin had just said.
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?! I can't do anything.. He... He.. God, I had no idea that he was -"
"Gay? Loved men? More importantly, loved you?" Shin smiled at the blonde and stood up.
Seiji looked up at him, "Shin.."
"When he calls, we'll try to talk to him about visiting. While we're there, you can talk to him. Idea?"
The blonde sighed and stood up, heading towards the stairs, "Yeah, I guess. I'm going to bed now, I'm kinda tired."
*********************************
Yawning, Touma stood up from the bench and looked at the girls as they played volleyball. Amy was sitting under a nearby tree, reading, and he decided he'd join her. He walked over to her and sat down.
Taking a glance at what she was reading, he smiled, "That's a good book."
She looked up at him, "Yes, it is."
They hadn't talked much even though the others expected them to. Touma just sighed and leaned on the tree, "So.. "
"So?"
He looked up her, "Just trying to make conversation."
"Sorry, I'm not much of a conversationalist."
He could see this wasn't going anywhere. Pulling a strand of hair out of his face he turned his gaze back on the girls who were now ending the game. Smiling, he stood up once again and ran over to them, taking the ball from Minako's hands as she smiled at him.
"Well, we're done. Did you talk to Amy any today?" Raye stated as she took her hair out of a ponytail.
He sighed, "She's busy reading at the moment."
Usagi laughed, "I'm surprised you're not over there reading too!"
"Reading is beginning to bore me. Anyways, you girls won't let me sit and read for more than five minutes before you drag me away from it." Touma started laughing as Usagi shoved Raye out of her way and raced for Mamoru's car.
"Ugh, she's so immature!!" Raye yelled, in hopes that Usagi would hear.
"Well, you need someone like her though." Touma stated and walked over to the tree that Amy sat under, "We're going now."
Minako punched Touma lightly on the arm, "What do you mean we need someone like Usagi?"
"Well," he started, watching Amy stand up and gather her things, "She's a comedic person in some serious situations and sometimes she's a serious person during a humorous moment. She's just there to make you laugh and feel better at tough times. Am I making sense?"
Raye sighed, "Touma, you're too understanding."
He laughed, "Maybe I am, but you know I'm right."
"As much as I hate to admit it!! Yes, you are!"
They all laughed as they headed back to Raye's. It wasn't that far from the park, so they didn't have to worry about getting wet when the rain came. It had been raining for four days straight! The day Touma had gotten there and then the last three days. Once it had calmed down for a bit, they took advantage of the moment and ran to the park for a bit of fresh air.
When they reached the temple, Raye opened the door and let the other's in, "Well, is there anything thing to do before it gets too late?"
Makoto sat down on one of the sofas, "We could always see what's on tv, ya know."
"Boring! Come on, there has to be something to do around here!" Usagi cried out as she joined Makoto.
Touma kicked off his shoes and headed in the direction of his room, "I'm just going to go to my room, okay?"
Amy looked at him, "You won't join us in this time of boredom?"
He laughed, "No, I think I'll just go stare at the ceiling for a while."
That got a few laughs out of the girls as he headed down the narrow hallway. He reached his room and opened the door only to be welcomed by a cold, dark bedroom. A small room, one bed, a small desk in the corner so he could write, and it was so lonely. Seiji had shared the room with him at Nasuti's but now it was just him; all alone with no one to talk to.
He fell down onto his bed and looked up at the ceiling which he had placed fake stars onto, "One day Seiji I will see you again..." Closing his eyes he rolled onto his side and drifted off to sleep.
Raye poked at the man's arm as he wriggled away from the touch, "Touma, everyone is gone now, do you want something to eat or drink?"
"Hmm? No.. I dun want nothin', " he turned towards her slightly, "What time is it?"
"Only 10:30 at night, or so." She sat down on the corner of his bed, "Didn't you tell me that you were supposed to call your friends?"
Sighing, Touma sat up and brushed his hand through his hair, "Yeah, I should but I don't want to at the moment."
"What's the matter?"
"Um, nothing, I just don't really want to call them at the moment." He looked at her.
"Oh, well, maybe tomorrow. I mean, they're probably really worried about you."
"Raye," He laughed, "It's only been two weeks."
She stood up and walked out in the hall, coming back with a cordless phone in her hand, "Yeah, but that is definitely enough time to start worrying."
He took the hint and took the phone from her hand, "Fine, I'll call them, but if they bite my head off for calling them at 10, you're going to pay! And I mean that you'll do my work around here as well as your own!" He watched Raye nod and started dialing the number to Nasuti's house, waiting for the ring.
"Hello?" Came the voice from the other end.
"Hey Shin!" Touma smiled as he welcomed his friend.
"Touma?! God, Touma, we've been wondering when you'd call us!"
Touma laughed nervously, "Well, it's only been two weeks. That, and I've been meaning to call."
Shin laughed too, "Yeah, maybe we're just being overprotective or something, but hey, let me go get the others in here and I'll put this thing on speaker phone okay?"
"Sure, go ahead," Touma glanced in Raye's direction as she smiled. He heard Shin yell for the others to come downstairs and soon after that he heard footsteps racing down the stairs and over to the phone. Before he knew it, someone had picked up the phone, "Hello? Shin?"
"Touma?!" Shuu's voice came from the other end, "What the hell is with you?!"
He moved the phone from his ear a little as Shuu yelled, "Sorry Shuu, I meant to call earlier." Damn, they worried too much about him. He heard what sounded like Ryo yelling at Shuu and then a calm voice speak. Seiji's voice.
"Touma? How are you? Better yet,.. Where are you?" The blonde spoke loud enough over the two that were fighting in the background.
Touma leaned up against the wall, "I'm in Tokyo, as you know, staying with a new friend."
"A new friend?" Seiji said slowly as if he were still taking in the words.
"Yeah, hey, Shin said something about putting that on speaker phone. Oh well, like I said, yeah, new friend. She's really nice, she's cool, and hasn't killed me yet, so I'd say things are going pretty well." Touma laughed as Raye through a pillow at him.
"Sounds nice. So, you're all settled in and stuff then? Plan on giving us the address and phone number?"
"Well, I ... guess." Touma sighed and gave Seiji the directions to the temple along with a phone number they could reach him at.
"Good, we're all happy now. Oh yeah, When do you think we can come visit you? Shin is bugging me about it as we spe - OW!"
Touma laughed, "You don't have to come and visit me unless you really want to."
There was a moment of still silence and finally the blonde spoke again, "I..WE want to come visit you as soon as possible, Tou."
Sighing, Touma looked over at Raye and she held up two fingers and wrote an invisible 'D' in the air with her index finger, "Well, how about two days?"
"Let me ask the guys, okay?"
"Okay," Touma switched ears and waited for Seiji to come back.
"They agree. Two days it is then."
He smiled, "Two days it is... I'll talk to you when you get here then."
"Okay, ... Bye.. Touma.." Seiji said his goodbyes and hung up the phone.
Touma punched the 'Talk' button and hung up the phone, sighing, he looked up at the ceiling, "Seiji.."
