Chapter 20 – I can't go back to you anymore, Ryuichi…
Ring, ring…
Ring, ring…
"Mm…" I complained as I held my head between my two hands.
I couldn't tell where the phone was ringing from.
"Owww…" I softly whispered in pain as I began to crunch into a little ball. "Why do I feel so terrible?"
"H-hello?" a girl's voice said as the phone's incessant ringing came to stop. "This is she."
I blinked my eyes as I felt like my head being swayed from side to side even though my body was perfectly still.
"You're picking up who?"
My eyes blinked more as my blurred vision began to focus on the voice of the girl in front of me.
"Uesugi Tatsuha?" she asked as she yawned and apologized to the phone. "I'm sorry, but I'm a little disoriented right now and nothing's making sense."
As my eyes focused more, I squinted to find a bare back in front of me. "Why is she…"
I then opened my eyes widely in shock as I took the comforter between my shaking hands. I felt so nauseous that I couldn't even do that simple task.
I stared at myself.
My naked self.
"Wh-what…oh my god…OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted inside of my mind as I jumped out of the bed with some sheets around my waist like a towel.
My heart beat as I shook in panic.
"Wh-what happened?!" Tsuki shouted while still holding the phone as she instantly got off the bed while covering herself with the comforter.
We stared at one another in deep shock.
"Oh my…" her mouth moved as she stared at me while she too realized what had happened.
"I-I'll be right down…" she stuttered as she pressed a button and put down the phone.
Still blinking at one another, she shouted at me, "Tatsuha…that was Seguchi Touma on the phone. And he just made it to the front of my house."
"Wh-what happened last night?!" I stared at her as we both stood there like stones.
Neither of us wanted to answer the horrid question.
I couldn't even breathe. I looked from side to side as I turned my body to face the window and watch Touma getting out of his car.
"Ryuichi…" I started to hyperventilate as I looked at her and myself and then at Touma walking towards the front door below us.
What will I-
Thunk.
"Put on your clothes and come downstairs with me," she calmly said as she just changed right there in front of me. "We don't have any time."
I changed into my clothes as we walked slowly down the stairs to answer the door.
A million things ran through my head and I couldn't catch anything. Nothing was making sense along with the pain I felt as my hands shook nervously.
We…we…
While I was depressed and looked for Ryuichi…
Tsuki opened the door. "Welcome Seguchi-san."
He bowed his head as he came in with a serious tone. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I've come to pick up Tatsuha-kun."
I asked while looking to the floor in shame, "So, Makoto-san is not going to do it?"
"I have no time to answer these questions. We have to leave before he gets here to really 'pick you up'." He answered as he put his hand on my shoulder. "I have to thank Makoto later for being the decoy."
I shook my head. "I…I can't go back."
"What?!" He took his hat and threw it to the ground. "I'm not going to take this right now, Tatsuha!"
His hands shook violently as he gripped my shoulder a bit more firmly. "Ryuichi has left on his motorcycle to who knows where to find you…"
"And you're telling me you're not coming with me?!" He then punched me as Tsuki held him back. "I've had to deal with Ryuichi's temper before. But it wasn't anything like this and I've lost my patience. He's gone on Zero mode! FOR YOU, TATSUHA!"
"Who knows what the hell he will do…" As his angry aura rose, he bowed his head as his icy tone seethed through his teeth, "I'm not asking you this time, I'M TELLING YOU to come home."
He then took a hold of my shoulder again. I shrugged him off as I still held onto my bloodied cheek. "I can't go back to him now."
Touma then looked at Tsuki. "Please tell me why he can't home."
Tsuki's eyes opened in fear. As she was about to answer, I interceded.
"Ryuichi will not take me back now." I then looked at him directly as I held his shoulders. "He'll never forgive me now…"
I took a deep breath as I shouted with my eyes closed, "We accidentally slept together!"
I opened my eyes at that moment to see Touma's temper rise as I felt like a vein popping. His ice cold hands took a hold of my shirt. He looked at me with the eyes of a maniac angered and close to insanity.
Plop. Bang.
I lifted my head to find a helmet dropped to the ground and hit Tsuki's gate.
As my eyes made their way up to the helmet's owner, I turned pale.
Doki.
My heart stopped and I couldn't feel anything anymore.
It had been too late.
I didn't know what to do…
All I could do was mumble a single word as my world crumbled under my feet. My eyes instantly welled up as I took a deep breath to say, "Ryuichi…"
His stunned eyes stared back at me as his mouth moved slowly to say,
"Tat…su…ha?"

Author's note: * sighs * Now that I got this chapter out of the way, I now realize there may be a second part to this series. ^^;;;
But wah~! I'm already crying…
I'm just disappointed that I couldn't find another way for this to happen. If I had done it another way, it wouldn't have worked out for there would be no circumstances that Tatsuha would have given in. Especially, considering this is his father, his father wouldn't do something really bad to him because he loves Tatsuha… * sighs *
This is so hard. I don't know why I do this to myself. But, as I learned from Hibiki-sensei from I, My, Me: If you never let go of yourself, then you'll never learn what's beyond the perspective given to you.
