If it wasn't for you.
Chapter Two: Opening Up
The bright sunrays fell on the particular athlete who had been there ever since the sunrise. Birds chirped and flew away when heard the sounds of basketball dribbling and the screeching sound caused by the shoes. Just then the door of the venue slid open and in came Ayako, Ryota and Mitsui. The three of them looked at the guy in front of them disbelievingly.
Feeling eyes on him, Sakuragi turned. "Hey. What are you guys doing standing there?"
Ayako was the first to ask. "Sakuragi, how come you're here so early?"
"What's wrong with me being so early?"
"Nothing. Just the fact that you are supposed to take care of Rukawa unless you want to go against Akagi's order." The scarred boy commented.
"Sodesu." Ryota agreed. "Hanamichi, if you don't wanna get scolded by Akagi, you better go now."
"Hmf. I'm not going back there to take care of that baka kitsune. He can take care of himself."
"Whatever you say, Hanamichi."
Just then Akagi came in who frowned when his eyes lay upon Sakuragi. "What are you doing here, Sakuragi?"
"Practice."
Veins started to threaten to pop out. "You are supposed to go and take care of Rukawa."
"I'm not going back to that block of ice. He said so himself anyway that he can take care of himself so there's no need for me to go back there."
"Go back or else!!" Akagi's body trembled vigorously due to anger.
"If you're so worried about him, why don't you take care of him yourself?!"
"GET BACK TO RUKAWA OR ELSE YOU ARE NEVER COMING BACK FOR PRACTICE AGAIN!!"
"Nandato? That's so unfair!"
"Are you going or not?!!" Akagi said loudly.
Kogure chuckled nervously. "I think you better go now, Sakuragi."
"Fine, fine." He sighed and walked out of the gym.
"Now, Akagi, calm down, ok."
--~-- "Kuso, kuso, kuso! Darn that Gori! It's not like that kitsune is paralyzed. He can take care of himself. And if he's so worried about that kitsune, why doesn't he bring that kitsune to hospital then? Mattaku." Sakuragi cursed under his breath.
He reached Rukawa's house and pushed open the gate which was like the first time, unlocked. He went in the house. "Kitsune." Hearing no reply, he strode towards Rukawa's room and saw him with his eyes closed, listening to his discman. He shook his head at the sight and took off a plug in Rukawa's right ear then said loudly. "Oi!"
Rukawa opened his eyes in a flash and narrowed his eyes when they focused on Sakuragi. He said coldly. "What are you doing, do'aho!"
"Nandayo? I was just calling you. You didn't hear me when I came in so I had to take off the plugs in order for you to hear me."
"You don't have to shout, do'aho."
Sakuragi just merely shrug. "Anyway, Gori asked me to come back, not that I want to. I'm being forced, ok?"
"Whatever." He put his plug back in his ear.
Seeing Rukawa had nothing else to say, he went out of the room. He switched on the television and saw that the VCR was switched on with a tape in it so he played the tape. It was a tape of a NBA match. /Hmm.I never thought that kitsune watches NBA matches./ He decided to watch it thinking that maybe he might pick something up from the match. He was too engrossed in the match to notice that Rukawa had come out to get a drink and rolled his eyes upon seeing Sakuragi watching his tape.
When the match ended, he looked down at his watch, noticing that it was 11.30 already so he switched off the television and VCR. He paced towards the kitchen to cook congee for Rukawa for lunch. He started getting on his work while Rukawa had drifted off to sleep with the discman still on.
After a while Rukawa had woken up and noticed that his discman was not playing anymore. He realized then that it was out of battery. He had finished his battery supply so he walked out of the room, wanting to go to a shop to buy some batteries. He closed the door behind him as he headed towards the gate.
Sakuragi heard the door closed so he walked out of the kitchen and saw Rukawa outside so he quickly took off the apron he was wearing. "Oi, kitsune. Matte!" He called out after Rukawa, leaving the door to close after him.
When he caught up with Rukawa, he asked. "Where are you going, kitsune?"
"." Rukawa didn't say anything and continued to walk.
"Mattaku. Fine, if you don't wanna tell me, baka kitsune but will you tell me that you're gonna go out next time?" Sakuragi shouted. "I don't want you to faint again without me around and then get scolded by Gori."
Then they arrived at the doorsteps of a small shop selling electrical appliances. Rukawa pushed open the door and went in with Sakuragi behind him who was confused as to why Rukawa was here for. Rukawa got a package of batteries and went to the cashier. When the cashier told him the price, he searched his pockets for the money but came up with nothing. He scolded himself mentally. /How could I forget to bring money? Mattaku/ He looked at Sakuragi who was gazing around the shop and then narrowed his eyes. No way was he gonna borrow the do'aho's money but what was he gonna do with the package of the batteries.
The cashier was looking at Rukawa expectantly.
Noticing the awkwardness, Sakuragi turned towards Rukawa who seemed to be deep in thoughts. Sakuragi searched in his pockets then took out his money to help pay for Rukawa.
Rukawa looked at him, wondering why he had paid for him.
Aware that Rukawa was glancing up at him, he muttered loud enough for Rukawa to hear. "I just wanna get back quickly, that's all."
Rukawa got his batteries and went out of the shop, whispering a 'thanks'.
They strolled around for a while then came to a basketball court occupied by a boy about the age of 8 and a girl the age of 5. The brother kept trying to shoot but it never got through the hoop but nevertheless the sister kept cheering him on.
Rukawa sat on a bench not far from the court and kept on staring at them. Sakuragi too sat on the bench without saying anything. Then the ball came to Rukawa, still bouncing a little for a while then landed in front of Rukawa's feet. The little girl ran over to Rukawa. "Anou..can I have the ball back?"
Rukawa smiled at her. "Sure. Here." He thrusted the ball towards the girl who smiled at him.
"Arigatoo." Then she turned around and walked back, handing the ball to her brother.
"Wow. Kitsune, did you just smile?" A look of disbelief on Sakuragi's face.
"Do'aho." He averted his gaze back to the two of them again with a wistful look.
Seeing the look on Rukawa's face, he murmured. "Miss basketball already, huh?"
".."
"Well, I understand and I can't go to practice even though I'm not sick."
Then drops of water started dropping without any warning. Sakuragi looked up at the darkened sky. "Oh no! It's starting to rain. I have to get you home quick before you get a cold or something." Suddenly, he remembered about his congee. "Shoot! I forgot about my congee. Come on, we better hurry, kitsune." He grabbed Rukawa's hand without thinking and pulled him, leading the way back to Rukawa's house.
Rukawa tried to pull his arm from Sakuragi's hand but the redhead was holding onto him too strongly, yet it was not hurting him. Not succeeding, he gave up and just followed wherever the do'aho was walking.
The touch..Sakuragi's touch.reminded him of his parents' touch..when they used to hold his hands.. ...but that was long ago..he never thought he could ever have the same feeling as to the feeling he had when his parents held his hands..it made him felt so secure.but Sakuragi's touch, besides from that, it made him feel...that his existence was right and it wasn't a mistake..it made him feel so right at place...and for the first time ever since the tragedy..he felt he wasn't lonely anymore..he felt he was needed by someone and he needed that someone too..
When they came to his house at last, Sakuragi pulled him into the house quickly. Still holding his hand, Sakuragi bent down and inhaled and exhaled loudly for a few times before turning to Rukawa who just stared back at him blankly. He panted. "You better get a hot bath before you catch a cold."
When Rukawa didn't budge, Sakuragi looked down at what Rukawa was looking then he saw that he was holding Rukawa's hand. He blushed and instantly let go of Rukawa's hand. /Baka. What are you doing? Why did you hold his hand? And worse, you didn't even realize it./ "Ah, gomen, I didn't realize I was holding your hand."
Rukawa brushed past him and mumbled "it's ok" so softly that Sakuragi couldn't catch what he said.
Sakuragi looked at his retreating back. /What was that I felt when I realized I was holding his hand? It was like I felt happy holding his hand or something. But that's impossible..right? I like Haruko-san and it's impossible that I'm a gay..ne?/ Then he remembered about his congee again. "Shoot." He quickly walked back to the kitchen and switched off the rice cooker containing congee which were too soft due to the rice cooker which was on for too long.
He sneezed then got a small bowl, spooning congee into it. He started putting flavorings and spices into it. He brought it out to a small table outside. As soon as he put down the bowl, he started sneezing again. He cursed under his breath. "I better not catch a cold." He went and got some tissue from the tissue box to wipe his wet hands and legs.
On the other hand, Rukawa had got his hot bubble bath ready. He put the plugs in his ear as soon as he laid down on the bath tub and played his discman. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. /What was that I felt when he held my hand?/ He stared at the hand that Sakuragi held. /I.I really never thought I could have that feeling again..obviously that do'aho could give me that feeling once again.but, so what? We dislike each other. He totally resents me../ He sighed. /Well, who cares about that feeling he gave me? I dislike him especially since he's such a do'aho, right? Sodesu./ He took off the plugs and got up to wash away the bubbles on his body.
When he was done bathing and changing, he could hear Sakuragi sneezing and cursing under his breath. He went and got a towel and clothes which he put them in the bathroom. He strode out and saw Sakuragi wiping his body with tissues. He also saw that he had taken off his shirt. He blushed at the sight of Sakuragi's exposed back which was facing him but it was normal, after all he takes off his shirt sometimes anyway when he practices.
He cleared his throat.
Sakuragi turned and saw Rukawa standing behind him. "Kitsune."
"Do'aho, you better get a hot bath too. You are practically sneezing so much already. There's a towel and clothes for you to change in the bathroom."
"Ah, souka. Etto..arigatoo."
Rukawa glanced away from him. "I just don't want you to pass me any disease, that's all."
"Nani? Teme kitsune! I, tensai won't fall ill so easily."
"You better go bath now before you really fall sick." With that, Rukawa went into his room.
Before Rukawa was out of earshot, Sakuragi told him. "If you're hungry already, the bowl of congee is on the table. It is too soft but still, it's better than not eating anything."
/Do'aho./ Rukawa said in his thoughts but was grateful deep in his heart. He looked around his room for his discman and then slapped his forehead with realization that he had left it in the bathroom. /That do'aho better not touch my discman if not I'm really gonna kill him./ Feeling kind of hungry, he remembered the congee and went out towards the table.
Sakuragi was having the time of his life in the bathroom; he had made a bubble bath. He never had any bubble baths before and this was his first time. He was totally enjoying the big mass of bubbles surrounding him in the bath tub. He looked to his left and saw Rukawa's discman beside him at the edge of the bath tub. He wiped his hands with his towel which was hung near him and plugged the plugs in his ears then he played the discman. He could hear Gackt's song. /I would never thought that he would like songs like these.there's so much stuff that I don't know about that kitsune./ When the song ended, he opened his eyes and remembered that he was in the middle of a bath. He scolded himself mentally. /Baka, you are bathing and not to listen to that kitsune's discman./
When he was done bathing, he changed into the set of clothes that the kitsune had left for him. /Who knew that kitsune's clothes could fit so right? I thought he was like so fragile and thin but I could wear his clothes so perfectly without feeling that they are too loose or anything./ He shook his head in wonder then walked outside.
Rukawa looked up from his food and glanced at Sakuragi in his clothes.
Noticing that Rukawa was glancing at him, he looked at him. "Anou.do I look weird or something?"
Rukawa chose not to answer. In truth, he just found it weird that there was someone who could fit so right in his clothes and looking at the do'aho wearing it was like seeing himself wearing it. He shook his head, trying to avoid the thoughts. /What am I thinking?/
Sakuragi went and got his own bowl of congee and then sat down at the other end of the table. He stared outside at the pouring rain. /It's raining so hard. I don't think I can go back home now./
As if hearing his thoughts, Rukawa said. "You can stay here for the night if you want."
"Eh? Aa.." He never thought that Rukawa would offer him to stay here for the night. They ate their bowls of congee in silence.
Not knowing that the days passed, they were getting closer and closer. Rukawa was too opening up slightly to Sakuragi. As the doctor had thought, Sakuragi was really probably the one and only one to help him.
