Mommy's Little Boy
By Starfire

Thunder storm outside the hospital where Hiromi Ikeda now Hiromi Shibahime worked, it was evident that the generators would have to be used to keep required energy input to the stores that had refrigerated medication. It was going to be another long day, and for that, she felt rather dreary and weary. The Arima's hospital was composed of several patients, but the staff was lacking a couple due to the flu and the impossible boss that dislike people that are single working in the hospital. If it wasn't for the fact that she was married, she would be sure that she would have lost her job, even though she was the best nurse in the hospital and a generalized chief of her floor.

Hiromi smiles slightly, as she greeted more of the workings that came in to help out, even though it normally was their day off. They did it not for the pay, but to make sure that things ran smooth for each other, after all, they were family the head boss wasn't as nice to that fact. It was all about facts, figures, and money to Mrs. Arima, she only liked patients that could pay, even though they require medical treatment immediately, she often toss them out. It was a drag, before she came however; the original owner was Arima Souichirou's father, but later it became to the ownership of his aunt.

Family politics was something that Hiromi was glad that she didn't possess when she married her son's father; it was all about their knitted group, until he ran away from them. Hiromi and Kazuma never did have any relatives, most of them weren't well known, or distant, it was only about them one family together. Until Hiromi fell in love with a patient that came in name Tsubasa Shibahime, no it wasn't the type of love between husband or wife, but rather the feeling of wanting to become that little girls mother. She was so small and delicate, like a little angel that fell out of the sky. A shooting star if it might be well known, the child reminded her of her little Kazuma, bright cheeks, intelligent and full of life, when awake.

Yes, that was what drew her to that little child with orange hues of the morning sun, the bright innocent, which reminded her of her son, Kazuma. How he would smile at her crying out Okaa-san the twinkle of delight at what he had accomplished like a new feat. Yet, now she felt sad at the thought of him staring at her when she went to work, alone in the house, while he wave crying out, I'll be all right to her. When in her heart that she knew he was crying inside, because she couldn't be with him like most mother's should, since they needed the money to survive.

Hiromi picked up the chart, her mind wander to the little cherub so like her son, Tsubasa the name of wings, she fell in love with her, because of how she looked, yet the uncanny intelligence drew her as well. When she had stared into those ocean sea eyes, she felt the attraction the serenity calling to her for love, the loneness that dispel across the waves, wanting someone to hold her to help her. The same look of loneness that she recognized in her beloved sons eyes, whenever she sees him stare out in the distance, waiting, and wanting recognition and someone to love. This made her feel hopeless, for the innocence of her child is at the peak, where even his okaa-san's touch cannot mend all the hurt and pain, for it is too late.

Counting the time, while transferring some files into the cabinet, it was hard, yet when she met the father of Tsubasa; she also fell in love, but this time it was between man and woman. Those sea green eyes, were filled with pain, and like a complex of attraction, she felt the polarity draw her nearer to him to sooth what he felt. It was funny that she would fall that quickly in love with a man name Toshiharu, he fell into her life, when he trip over a medical trolley. Instinctually, it made her want to help him out, to take care of him, for by what she can tell, he needed someone.

So that is how she ended up with him, yet, they were concern about their children's reaction, when she asked her son. Kazuma just smiled at her, that fake little smile that seem to say I am fine, instead of answering, he requested he meet the man.

This resulted in several misconceptions during the meeting time and the reactions that both she and Toshiharu had about them. Tsubasa the angelic doll ended up screaming no, this drove a icicle down into Hiromi's heart, it hurt, but she could understand, for she was intruding into Tsubasa life. Tsubasa was always alone like Kazuma when his father ditched both of them except, Tsubasa's mother was dead, she didn't want her father to go away from her, and this Hiromi truly understand. The desperate drive to not have change happen in her life, the fact that if there is change she is afraid of having loss of the memory of her mother.

Yet inwardly Hiromi truly hope that Tsubasa would give her a chance, to be in her life, and it was later on by miracle that Tsubasa and Kazuma would fill the void of loneness by themselves. They came together, and it was that Hiromi gain herself a daughter, and a new husband, because the two only children had found each other. It was the first time that she gotten close to Tsubasa. She could see the feather wings unravels to reveal the beautiful soul that Tsubasa possessed. It seems only fitting that it was Kazuma that brought sunshine to those cheeks, and the glimmer of love devotion, while banishing the loneliness that they both possess.

However, Toshiharu by Hiromi's standard was quite a sharp father, when he noticed the bond between both their children. She knew that one day the two of them would get together, yet for now, they were too young to understand those feelings, until it was made clearer then water. Tapping her pen on the phone, Hiromi smiled as she monitor some of the machines in each patients room. After all, her son was rather dense to notice his own feelings, for now they were in the mode of siblings and that was fine with her.

Young love itself would blossom sooner then what she would have guest, but for now this innocent puppy love was fine, it was slow enough to make sure that her new step daughter would be able to ease into the what ifs of the future.

At least for now, she could enjoy her son's innocents as a child, before he inserts himself as a man, it was enough, even though she still regrets not being with him all the time. Hopefully one day, she would get the chance to finally make amends for what had happen, or if possible it would be this new angel that would finally help with the healing that was so needed in that little boys of hers.

Yet, now her Kazuma had discovered his feelings for Tsubasa, and he had ran away from home, this posed some problems between Tsubasa. The girl had grown thinner and thinner, skipping meals, her eyes were depressed and the shine was gone. This brought heavy concern between her and Toshiharu, after all, the young thing was already thin, if she loses any more weight, she wouldn't be able to walk. It was the first thing she noticed, when she saw the girl after the disappearance of Kazuma. Toshiharu at first tried to find out from his daughter on what had happen between her and Kazuma, but the child clammed up tighter then a mussel from the ocean depth. The child didn't want to talk about it was all she shouted in the house, then ran away, but inwardly Hiromi knew that she was crying her heart out for Kazuma.

That was when the suicidal tendencies came into play, which brought both parents white hair; even the voices of Tsubasa's friends to her were warnings. Yukino came to her expressing how Tsubasa was acting odd, she didn't smile anymore, or if she did it was fake, her eyes were glazed most of the time, and the most worried thing was when she was just clicking her pencil until all the lead dripped out. To make sure things wouldn't escalate as quickly Hiromi quickly switch her schedule a bit around to make sure she would be home, when Tsubasa would be there.

Walked toward the phone and dial her husbands phone number at his work. "Ah this is Shibahime Toshiharu." Toshiharu's soft male voice came over the line sending shivers down her spine.

"Ah anata, I was just calling to let you know that I will be heading home to check on Tsubasa-chan." Hiromi got out her purse and jacket form the inner cabinet; her eyes swerve to the clock.

"Ah Arigato." Toshiharu spoke on the line, there was a pause a bit, "Do you think she is alright? I am still worried about her."

Almost as if she could image him, fidget a bit at the thought of his princess in trouble. "Toshiharu, don't worry I'll check up on her." She reassures her poor husband, to think now he ended up with a father complex.

"Hai! Gomen." Toshiharu laugh softly, "I just wish Kazuma was there to help her."

The feeling of sadness hit her heart a bit, "Hai, so do I anata." Fingering the cord a bit, "However, Kazuma needs time, he is facing some things he doesn't understand, I just wish it didn't have to hurt Tsubasa so badly."

"I wish there was something we could do for them." Her husband whispered, "I'll try to be back home, but work is sort of overloaded over here, we got a new line coming up, and we need to pull extra hours unfortunately."

"Don't worry take your time. I'll talk to you later." Hiromi smile against the phone, "Ja ne."

"Ah Ja ne." With that they both hanged up, while Hiromi went to the clock and punched out, saying good bye to the girls she was on her way back home. Her mind trailing back to her son hoping he would hurry up and figure out what to do, before something bad would happen to Tsubasa. The worse would be for her to faint from malnourishment, this worried her more then ever, if she had a chance she would have called and yelled at her son for such stupidity, but her son was a stubborn being, that wanted to figure things and do things on his own.

Sighing in her car, she drove onward, "Well Kazuma it is all up to you, hopefully you get your head screwed on right, before Tsubasa ends up dead."
