Chapter 9
"It's been such a long time since we… " Sendoh said in between kisses as he sucked on Youhei's neck while the hands were kept inside his pants.
"But… Hanamichi he…" Youhei lied in the sleeping bag and glanced at Hanamichi. "He's asleep but… what if we wakes him up?"
Sendoh lifted him up and go to the room next door. "There's always an alternate choice, ne?" Youhei blushed and squirm in his arms.
"Let go baka I can walk by myself."
"No."
--
"Arh! I'm gonna pee!" Sendoh woke up in the middle of the night and rushed to the bathroom. Having ended his release of extra water, salts and urea from his body, he smiled. [Arh… that feels much better… Hanamichi has been here for a whole week…]
He walked out of the bathroom looking at his koi. [good he's still sleeping. And Hanamichi…] And he walked throught the toilet again to his bedroom. [Is…] "MISSING!"
Youhei jerked out from his deep slumber and walked to his room naked at. "What…?"
"Youhei! Hanamichi is MISSING!"
Youhei's eyes almost popped out. "WHAT???"
Dressing himself up, he dragged Sendoh out of the room and threw him downstairs.
"OW! Are you trying to kill me? [Hn. Sometimes I think that you are more and more like Koshino…]"
"No, you are going to look for him downstairs and I am going to look for him on this floor. Now go!" [Hn. He does care more about Hanamichi than me…] \sigh/ [can't help it…]
Both of them went to every room searching frantically for the fear of Hanamichi committing suicide.
[Where could he be? In the middle of the night in my house, mansion. I'm sure he will be lost somewhere.] "OW!" Sendoh tripped over something and fell crashing onto the floor. [what was that?] He turned around and saw a crop of red groaning in pain. "Hanamichi!! What are you doing here in the middle of the night? You should be sleeping!" After a close look at Hanamichi, he regretted in a bit loud to him. "Are you alright?"
Hanamichi sat up from his position with his diary in his hands and stared at Sendoh. Tears formed and flowed smoothly out of the brim of his eyes. "Sendoh…sniff… sniff… please… help me to find Kaede… why is Kaede not at home? What are you doing here? Where's Kaede? I… I need to explain to him… I need to burn this diary… please…"
Sendoh moved forward and hugged Hanamichi. Placing his hands on his back and moving them up and down, soothing him, calming him down. It does help a little, as Hanamichi had stopped crying. Hanamichi pulled away, drew up his knees to his chest and put his diary in between his knees and chest. He hugged his knees and rocked forth and back in his position.
"Kaede… Kaede…" He started to cry again.
"Hanamichi, this is my home not Rukawa's. Can you hear me? Hanamichi?"
Sendoh touched Hanamichi's arm and rest it there. After a while, he moved his hands to his forehead. [Gosh his fever has still not down yet…] "Hanamichi listen to me you are still having a fever. You should go back to sleep."
"Kaede… Kaede… I love you… it's cold… where are you… Kaede… I love you… why? So cold…"
Hanamichi kept chanting and Sendoh moved closer to him to hug him tightly. [Now I understand why Youhei loves you that much… you are a person worth protecting, worth loving. I just don't understand why that Rukawa… do you love him that much?]
"I'll keep you warm." After a while, Hanamichi fell asleep. He lifted the fragile boy and carried him to his room. He carefully laid Hanamichi down and covered him with a blanket before taking the diary from his hands. He put it on the table and rushed out to look for his lover.
--
Both of them sat beside Hanamichi's bed, each holding onto his hand, afraid that he might once again wander about. "Are we going to guard him like that all night?" Sendoh asked his lover who is still looking at Hanamichi.
"Yes." Sendoh let go of Hanamichi's hand and opened the diary to read. Youhei tucked Hanamichi's hand under the blanket and joined Sendoh.
After finishing the diary, Youhei was crying. "I'm going to kill that bastard."
Sendoh tucked the diary in Hanamichi's hands. "Come on let's sleep. We still have school tomorrow."
--During Practice in Shohoku--
The Sakuragi Gundam stormed into the court looking for Rukawa. "Where is Rukawa?" Youhei lifted Akagi off the ground just by holding his collar. Everyone in the court went silent as shock went through the whole court to think that a guy shorter then Hanamichi could actually have the strength to hold up a 197cm tall gorilla like human.
Youhei then threw him to the wall. "What the?" Akagi winced at the pain and Haruko ran to help his big brother up. She kept quiet as sparks fly between the two of them.
"What do you want?"
"I want to see Rukawa Kaede. He knows what he's done."
Kogure went over and patted on Youhei's shoulder. "Um… calm down… eh… er… he's in the hospital. We found him unconscious in his house yesterday." Youhei turned and glared at him.
"Hospital? [Hanamichi should be the one in hospital.] Which one?"
Kogure fidgeted. "Kanagawa General Hospital."
"Room?" "Block 6 ward 3 room 9 bed 1."
"Let's go." Youhei walked out of the court, expressionless. Haruko looked up to his brother and started to cry.
"What happen onichan?"
"I don't know but they must have found Hanamichi."
--Hospital--
The Sakuragi Gundam walked into Rukawa's room. Rukawa was lying on the bed, sleeping. Youhei, having a closer look, realizing that he's not sleeping but looking out of the window. Youhei grabbed his collar and shook him. "Rukawa you bastard, do you know what have you done to Hanamichi? Do you know what state is he in now? You are lying in a hospital, he's lying in my house! Ok, probably not my house but the state that he is in is all caused by you!"
Rukawa gave him a punch and glare at him. "His state? Have he ever consider me as a lover? He cheated me! Do you know how painful it is to be cheated out of love? Just for that Akagi girl? That idiotic girl I hate most? Do you know how I feel after I read it? After 3 months of loving and kissing each other, even in bed! Then you found out that he cheated you? DO YOU KNOW?"
The rest of the Sakuragi Gundam fear of interfering, stood outside the room. Rukawa lashed his leg out and gave a forceful kick to Youhei. Youhei caught his leg and pulled him down the bed and sat on him.
"Get off me you bastard! Why don't you love him since you're so concern about him! GET OFF ME!"
Youhei grabbed Rukawa's hair and made him look at him. "I DO LOVE HIM!"
Both of them glared at each other and stayed silent for about twenty minutes, with Youhei still sitting on him.
Youhei then began again, this time softer. "It's been only three months. Quarrels are a must for couples. If there aren't fights that means they don't' even love each other! Besides, it's wrong to invade people's privacy. No matter who he or she is to you. That person still has his secrets. And, since you started it, why don't you finish it?"
"I just couldn't."
"You should had have more trust in him. And don't give me that monosyllabic tone again." Youhei get off Rukawa and helped him to the bed. He sat beside the bed, still glaring at Rukawa. "Begin what you have to say."
Long silence began again as Rukawa opened and shut his mouth several times, not knowing where to start.
--Outside the room at the same time--
"I think both of them fought."
"Yeah me too."
"me too…"
"Wonder if they're alright…"
"I hope Hanamichi is alright."
"Yeah." The three of them reply in unison.
--Inside the room--
Rukawa began. "I… I… when I finished my cooking, I went to our room to look for him. He… he's bathing and I saw his diary on the table… so I read it since he's not out yet."
"You know he doesn't like people touching his diary."
"I know… but the fact is that he cheated me and I'm not going to give in."
"But…"
"No buts. Look…"
"Shut up and listen to me Rukawa Kaede. That plan of his, well, yes he had it. But that was before he fell in love with you. After living with you for two weeks, he rang me up and told me he's in love with you. He in my house now and he's confirmed by a doctor that he's almost gone mad. He's so depressed that he…"
Rukawa flared up.
"Look Mito Youhei, I should be the one in a super depress mood and not him. I should be the one going crazy not him. We've been in love for only three months. And since we don't know each other so well why not break up? The two of us didn't click in the first place. I don't even understand why I got him to live with me. I… He cheated me. He has broken my heart now…"
Rukawa got up from his bed and gave Youhei a flying kick that he learnt from Hanamichi and sends him flying out of his room. "Wherever he is, I want you to tell him to get out of my life and never step in again." With that, he slammed the door shut.
"DAMN YOU RUKAWA KAEDE. He loves you! He even sees me as you sometimes! Why can't you just give in to his pathetic state and cure him?" Youhei jumped forward but he was caught by the guards who were called by the nurses earlier due to the noisiness inside.
The Sakuragi Gundam helped pull Youhei out of the hospital. "Youhei! Don't kick a fuss here."
"Yeah! It's the hospital you know!"
--After Youhei been thrown out of the hospital--
"LET ME GO YOU FUCKING BASTARDS. HE SHOULD NOT BE THE ONE HOSPITALISED. FUCKING RUKAWA KAEDE FUCK YOU!" The Gundam splashed bottles of mineral water onto him and pinned him down on the floor with people staring at him.
"Cool it Youhei! Shouting at him wouldn't help! Hanamichi is our friend and we are going to help him. We are not letting him or you down. We swear we will. Right guys?"
"Right." The three of them replied in unison.
Youhei struggled. "Get off me you fatty bom bom."
"No. You're gonna end up killing that bastard again."
"I need to go to the toilet." Everyone sweatdropped.
Far away at the bus stop near the hospital. A bunch ranging from tall to short and gorilla to witch make their way to the hospital. "Oni-chan, isn't that Youhei?" Akagi looked over to the bunch of weirdoes at the entrance of the hospital.
The team walked over to them. Kogure was the first to speak. "Are you here to see Rukawa? \smiles/" And behind is a jealous Mitsui glaring at Youhei and Kogure with such a friendly smile. [that smile belongs to me you idiot. Go punch Rukawa instead of flirting with my Min-kun here you %##^&*^&*(^%$@#$] "Grrr…"
Youhei walked past them and stopped in his tracks. He turned around expressionless. "I ended my talk with him. I have to go now. Or I don't know what will happen to Hanamichi." He looked at Mitsui and said. "And I wasn't flirting with your boyfriend. I already have one."
Everyone's eyes went wide as they stared at the gundam's retreating back. What went through Akagi's mind was : [was everyone here gay? Gosh… I think I'm in the wrong team…] The team went on with their visiting and Youhei went home to look after Hanamichi. The gundam… well… went to play pachinko…
