Chapter IV
A REVELATION
Dear Youhei,
When you finally read this letter I'm probably on my plane back to Tokyo.
Gomen ne... if I didn't stay too long... I never thought it would be this hard...
The reason why I came back is also the same reason why I'm leaving now...
Gomen ne... I'll just send you the invitation when I get back to Tokyo...
Thank you, my friend.
Hanamichi
Kaede looked down in utter defeat.
"No... this can't be happening..."
Youhei regarded him sadly and said in a quiet voice... "I don't understand... why did he leave?"
Kaede looked at him understandingly... "He hates me."
But Youhei shook his head. "You don't understand... he came back to see you..."
Kaede widened his eyes in shock. "He... what?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
RING! RING!
Kiyota picked up the phone as he wrapped a towel around his waist.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Nobu-kun?"
An automatic smile flashed in his face when he recognized the person on the other line.
"Hana-kun?"
"Eh... listen, I'm coming home..."
"What? I thought..."
But the other person cut him off, "I'll be arriving there at 7pm today. Can you pick me up?"
He stared at the receiver for a moment. //Hanamichi is acting really weird// He thought... then putting the phone back in his ear replied...
"Of course..."
He heard Hanamichi sigh in relief. He could actually imagine the redhead smiling as he said the words...
"Yokatta..."
Kiyota smiled, too... "No problem..."
"Well then," he heard the other guy say... "see you..."
"Eh. See you..."
"Ja."
"Eh ja."
Click.
Tut. Tut. Tut.
He sighed as he put the phone down.
Part of him is very happy that Hanamichi is coming home...
But a part of him is also dreading the redhead's return...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hanamichi went back to his seat and continued his wait.
//It wouldn't be long now...//
He looked exactly like how he was nine years ago...
//At least now... someone is waiting for me back in Tokyo...//
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do you mean he came back for me?"
Youhei looked sadly at the fox-eyed man in front of him. "I don't know... He just said he came back to settle a few things with you. Then..."
"Then?" Kaede waited impatiently for his next sentence. "THEN?!" HE shook Youhei hard and shouted, "THEN WHAT MITO?! TELL ME!"
"He'll get married."
He stopped shaking the other man as his brain processes the other's words. "He'll what?"
"Rukawa..."
"With whom?"
"I... well..."
"With whom Mito? Tell me..."
"I don't... err..."
"Please..."
Youhei stared at Kaede in astonishment. The other man sounded so vulnerable... so defeated...
"With Kiyota Nobunaga."
