Chapter 8
Rukawa and Hanamichi had not gone to school for a whole week. Hanamichi because he is on MC but Rukawa… he's lying on his bed, eyes stinging with hot searing tears. Did not shave, did not bathe, did not eat and did not sleep. [Did Hana-kun really hate me that much? If he does, then why did he say he loves me? Why did he hug me then? Why did he kiss me? So passionately? Why did we make love…? Why? Why? Why? Am I that cold? He's melted me what more can I do? What more can he do? ]
"ARH!" Rukawa turned and lied face down, burying his face in the thick blanket, which is full of Sakura scent, slowly falling into the world of darkness.

There was a loud knock on the door.
"RUKAWA WE KNOW YOU ARE INSIDE THIS HUGE HOUSE! OPEN UP!"
Ayako held up her paper fan and slammed it on Ryota's head.
"Ouch! Aya-chan what did you do that for?"
"Do you want to wake the whole neighbourhood up?"
"His house is huge… if I shout then he'll be able to hear…"
Mitsui continued. "Yeah… and it's in the evening already…ouch! Hey!! Watch my neck!"
"Are you ok Hisa… [Oops]… Mitsui? \Blush/"
"Ah I'm ok Min… [Oops]… Kogure." Mitsui wrapped his arms around Kogure's waist and pulled him close.
"Hisashi!"
"We're not in school remember? \smirks/"
FLASHBACK
After both Mitsui and Kogure had reached the latter's house, Mitsui tripped over the step at the front door and fell onto the floor that was quite … incredibly soft. [soft?] He looked up and saw a panting glasses boy who is stared down at him in concern.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt anywhere?"
"Um…\blush/ no."
"Here I'll help you to my room first." Kogure dumped the food on the floor and pulled Mitsui up to the room.
"Um… do you want to eat anything?"
"Oh um…" His stomach growls suddenly and he blushed looking at his stomach.
"Don't be shy. I'll go down and make you some food."
"Ok…"
After Kogure had gone down to prepare, he roamed around the room and into the bathroom. [oh shit that was embarrassing. Gosh now how am I gonna face him? Wow! Such a neat bathroom. Smells nice too…] He thought of his own bathroom and shakes head. "Ow… I forgot again…"
He went out again and opened the closet. [Wow… I never knew he had such clothes.] He ran his hands through the clothes. [Leather pants… black… red… white… and tight fitting shirts… I wonder what kind of person is he outside school…]
"Mitsui the food is ready!" Mitsui jerked his head towards Kogure. "Ow my neck!" Clutching at his neck. "Oh my! His-Mitsui are you alright?" Kogure help Mitsui to lay on his bed.
"Yeah… [Did he almost called me my first name?] And I didn't know that you wear those."
Kogure blushed and closed the closet door.
"Those are gifts from my family and cousins. They said I'm too well… toot… \blush/"
"Toot? What does that mean? [He's cute]"
Kogure blushed again. "It means… that well… I am too bookworm type and um something like innocent… \blush/"
"Oh… but you are innocent." Mitsui smirked.
Kogure noticed the distance between the two of them and his pants began to tightened. He blushed; excusing himself went downstairs to bring Mitsui some food. "Mitsui you wait here!"
Mitsui grin and lay on the bed obediently. [Definitely cute]

"How's my cooking?" Kogure smiled as he cleared the dishes.
"It was great! Absolutely the greatest food I have ever tasted in my whole eighteen years!" [Oh.. I'm so nervous… think Mitsui Hisashi think. How. Do. I. Confess. To. Kogure. Kiminobu. My. Ever. Lasting. Love? Arh! Think!]
"You alright? You look a bit pinkish. Are you having a fever?" He touches Mitsui's forehead.
"Um… yeah I mean no… I mean I'm fine." Mitsui felt electrocuted on the soft touch. [What a smooth hand…] "By the way can I take my bath now?"
Kogure blushed. He stood up and turned to walk out, hiding his blush. "Yeah sure, after I clean up. Can you take off your clothes yourself? And wait for me ne? \Winks/ [it's confessing time!]"
"Ok."
[Wait for him? To do what? Is he trying to confess to me? Oh gosh I'm so excited! Maybe I should take off my clothes now! Maybe… I can seduce him! Yap that's it!] Mitsui took off his shirt carefully so that he won't hurt his neck. He then started to unzip his pants and slide them off until his knees when Kogure came in. His eyes widened at the gorgeous sight of the ex-gangster's body and gulped.
"Er… um… are you ready to bathe?"
Mitsui slid his pants off his legs and started to take off his underwear. "Um… can you help me cuz' I'm having a bit difficulty here. I can't reach it. [Hehehe this is going to work]"
"Su… Sure."
Kogure went over to Mitsui and knelt down in front of him. He pulled the underwear softly down. He gulped and stopped halfway to stare at Mitsui's half-erected member with saliva drooling down his chin. Mitsui leaned down and kissed Kogure licking the saliva clean.
"You're drooling Min-kun."
"Na… nani? [Gosh my original plan was … arh! What now?]
"Let's go." Kogure helped Mitsui up and started to walk towards the bathroom.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
"Aren't you going to take off your clothes too? I mean aren't you afraid to wet them?"
"Eh? [oh no… what's he going to do to me? Like I planned to do to him? No! It was supposed to be my plan.] Um… I think I'll go fill the tub first…" He blushed and ran inside the bathroom.
Mitsui smirked, following Kogure and closed the door behind him. "Arh! Mitsui!"
END OF FLASHBACK
"What are you smirking at Mitsui?"
"Eh oh nothing. Just thinking about me and my Minny-kun."
sweatdrop Ayako smack her fan on Mitsui's head. "Leave your hentai thoughts at home!"
Akagi turned the knob of the door and pushed. "It's not locked. Come on lets go in." The team, Mitsui, Kogure, Ryota, Ayako, Akagi and Haruko went into the huge mansion.
"Rukawa! Where are you?" Mitsui, basically opening every door he sees and saw photos of Rukawa and Hanamichi almost in every room, including the bathroom. "Wow… how loving could the both of them get … and I wonder how many rooms have he got…"
Suddenly a shriek pierced their ears, Haruko stood at the opened door. "I found him! Rukawa? Rukawa are you awake?" She shook him but no response is found. [gosh what happened? He… he's crying!]
Everyone rushed to his bedroom and found a drained and dirty looking Rukawa lying face down on the King-sized bed. "Rukawa?" Akagi flipped him over and everyone was shocked to see his eyes closed and having dry tears on his face.
Ryota went over and poked Rukawa. "Rukawa are you ok? And where's Sakuragi?"
Kogure let go of Mitsui's hand and walked over. "He doesn't seemed to be responding. Has he fainted?" Haruko stood by the side with his brother pulling her into his arms. She buried her face in his chest. "Sniff… sniff… gosh… I want to see him… onegai brother I need to see if he's all right… I mean with Hanamichi-kun missing and all that… I need to see if he's…"
"It's ok Haruko. Hanamichi's not in this house. We will find him. Come on lets get him to a hospital."
--In the hospital after 3 hours--
"Doctor, is he gonna be alright?"
"He's ok but he's very depressed now. Don't agitate him. It's late. Go home early. Visitors are not allowed to stay after 9."
"Thank you doctor."
Ayako sat down on the bedside with Ryota comforting her. "Did the two of them broke up?"
"I don't know…"
Kogure looked up at Mitsui and gave him a deep kiss. "It's ok Min-kun…" Mitsui hugged him. Akagi opened the door and put his hands on Haruko's shoulder.
"It's late… we'd better go now. Come on; let's not disturb him. We are still gonna find Sakuragi tomorrow."
And they all went home, oblivious to Hanamichi's unstable state.
