Author's notes: Crazy. And I claim to be a Tohma Seguchi fan? Maki Murakami
should have me drug out in the street and shot for messing with such a cool
character. On an off note, if you just happen to be Maki Murakami (or some
insane person pretending to be Maki Murakami), and are reading this (as
if), e-mail me and tell me how crazy I am. Thank you. If you review me, I
will bless you in my prayers every night!
Chapter 3
Suguru stroked Tani's hair as she lay with her head on his chest. He had long since lost feeling in his legs, but after all the physical activity he had just endure, it wasn't surprising. He started when something wet touched his chest (and it wasn't a tongue.).
"Tani-chan? Are you crying Tani-chan? Did it really hurt that bad?" she shook her head, and sat up. She made no move to pull the blankets around her naked self.
"Suguru? Are you going to stop loving me now, Suguru?" He sat up next to her, and arranged the blankets around her shoulders.
"Of course not." He didn't say it very reassuringly; more like it was something that she should already know. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, now you've got what you wanted. You don't need me around anymore, do you?" he raised one eyebrow at her statement. He furrowed his brow, reached up, and placed a hand on either side of her face.
"Now you listen to me, and you listen well, because I'm only going to say this once, Kotani Fujisaki. You are mine. Always. And I am yours. Always. We can belong to no other. I doubt many teenaged boys would have stayed with the same girl for 10 years, waiting until they were old enough, just to have sex once and decide to leave. No. It doesn't work that way. I put a lot of years into this relationship. I expect you to be with me for my whole life. If I didn't want it that way, then I would not have stayed with you for so long. Next time you make a stupid comment that is born from your own lack of self-confidence, I'm not even going to answer. If you don't know by now that I love you always and forever, then you're never going to know. Am I going to stop loving you!" he kissed her forehead tenderly. "I have half a mind to start calling you baka. Baka."
"Why did you call me Kotani Fujisaki?"
"I did? I don't know. I guess that's how I see you. Why, you want to be something else?"
"No. I like the sound of that, Kotani Fujisaki." She smiled adorably at him.
"Then be it for life. Marry me, Tani. We both know it's going to happen one way or another, why not now?" They laid back down as he spoke, and she cuddled close to him.
"How could I refuse? Name the date. I'll be there."
"Tomorrow."
"That's impossible!" she exclaimed.
"Not when you're a Fujisaki. Or a Seguchi, for that matter." There was a knock on the door. "Speak of the devil." Tani got up, put on her nightgown, and answered the door. Tohma stood in the doorway, looking rather. livid.
"Excuse me, Tani, I would like to speak to Fujisaki-kun alone, thank you." He wedged his way past her. The stench of alcohol and cigarette smoke lingered after him. Tani crinkled her nose, and put her hands on her hips.
"Anything you have to say to Suguru you can say in front of me." If Tohma had been sober, he would have cringed at the tone of her voice. Instead, he turned around, and smiled sweetly at her.
"Oh, come now, Tani, you're not his wife yet! Let the boy have some time alone with his favorite cousin!" Tohma told her in a fake tone. Tani could tell that it was forced, but she had no choice. As the owner of the house, Tohma had a certain amount of power over Suguru and herself, so Tani supposed that she had to leave. She stayed right outside the door, however, and left it opened a crack, so she could hear the conversation.
"What do you want now, Seguchi-san?" Suguru asked Tohma, trying to keep the malice off of his voice.
"Oh, nothing much." a moment passed, "tell me, Suguru, was it worth it?" He asked him. Suguru sensed that something was definitely up. He responded very carefully.
"Was what worth it, Seguchi-san?" He asked, treading this ground lightly. Suguru had a definite feeling about what was about to come.
"Waiting so long." Yep. Exactly what Suguru had figured. Tohma started to walk closer to Suguru, whom had sat up in the bed. He reminded Suguru quite strongly of a predator, closing in on his prey. Suguru was scared.
"Yes, actually, it was. Waiting for the one that I love was well worth it." Suguru's voice sounded very strong when he said 'the one I love'. Outside the door, Tani smirked proudly. Tohma finished walking towards Suguru. He suddenly slammed his hands on the wall on either side of Suguru. Tohma was close enough now that Suguru could smell the alcohol and smoke. That was when he knew he was in trouble.
"What do you know about love!?" Tohma screamed his question at Suguru. "What does some little kid know about love? You have no clue what pain and confusion and utter AGONY LOVE IS!" Suguru cringed at the assault on his ears. Tohma stared at Suguru, challenging him to say anything in return.
"It doesn't have to be pain, Seguchi-san. Not when the one you love loves you back. even, at least, when the one you love even loves the same sex as you are." A vase narrowly missed Suguru's head.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?" Suguru had never imagined, in his wildest dreams, that Tohma could get this way. Not even drunk. There was something else wrong, something that had made Tohma crack. And Suguru was pretty sure it wasn't his comment on Tohma's preference in gender. Tohma had come into his room in a fighting mood. Luckily for Tohma, Suguru was over due to have a fight.
"A lot more than you know, it seems." Tohma seemed to become even wilder at this. But then, his calm exterior returned.
"Do you know what all this foolishness about Tani and you has done to Mika?" Tohma asked Suguru, his voice now so sugary sweet that Suguru was more scared than ever before. "Mika has these crazy thoughts about true love now, Fujisaki-kun. Now she wants to leave me." Tohma chuckled, "As if I could ever let her do that. It would shatter. everything that I've worked so hard to build."
"You are. insane, Seguchi-san, and I think that maybe you should go get help."
"I am not insane, Fujisaki-kun, just much more realistic than the rest of you. Love. Nothing in this world relies on love. Love isn't real. It's just a fantasy cooked up by writers without a real job, bills, and too much time on their hands." Tohma ran a hand through his hair, and Suguru saw it. The slight pinprick right behind his elbow. Tohma was high off of something, but Suguru wasn't too sure what it was.
"What did you take, Tohma?" he asked, trying to not only calm his cousin down, but to help him. Tohma's eyes took on a crazed look.
"I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING!"
"Seguchi-san, you're high off of something. Just tell me. I can help you." A hand pinned Suguru's throat to the wall.
"You can't help me. No one can. None of you have any idea how hard it is to be Tohma Seguchi." Tohma brought a hand forth, a hand with a syringe in it. He grabbed one of Suguru's arms, and started to ready it for the injection. "But you're about to get a really good taste of it."
"STOP IT!" Tani burst through the door. Tohma whipped around. Tani's eyes grew huge.
"Get outta here." Suguru barely squeezed out through the hold on his neck. Tani, not one to argue with Suguru or a crazed man high off of who knows what, turned around, and took off down the corridor. Tohma, not being able to think straight through whatever it was he was high off of, struggled for a moment, and took off after her.
Tani grabbed for the phone, but it was knocked out of her hands. She turned, and saw the very angry Tohma. She muttered a frightened sound, and ran towards the kitchen. Tohma made a frustrated sound, and ran after her. She was scrunched up in a corner, with her head in her arms.
"Come over here, Tani-chan!" he said, trying to coax her out of the corner. She continued to shake and ignore him. He grabbed her, and tried to get her out of her position. She felt something slice down her arm, and she had no doubt that it was needle. She let out a piercing scream. Next thing she knew, there was a series of loud noises, and Tohma's cold frightening hands were gone. In their place were two warms hands whose touch she knew.
"Tani-chan. Tani-chan, it's alright now." She peeked over her arms, and saw Suguru. She threw herself into his arms, and whimpered. Mika was not far behind Suguru, and she was severely beat up.
"I'm afraid this is all my fault, kids. I told Tohma that I wanted a divorce earlier, and he went nuts. He had been drinking, and then. then he was shooting up. I tried to tell him no, not while he was drunk, but he didn't listen. He. he." Mika dropped her head into her hands and wept, unable to continue the story. The bruises on her face and arms, however, told a story all their own.
Author's notes: Okaly-dokaly. I cannot believe I wrote that. And left a huge problem at the end of the chapter. Well, I have an idea about what's going to happen, but I'm going to leave the choice to all of you. Should I. Have Tohma spend some time in rehab, come back, and be okay, and everything works out happily, or Have Suguru inherit the company, and leave Tohma as crazy?
Review and tell me what you all want. The more you review, the faster I post. Let me know that you want it posted, or else I just think no one cares and I don't post very fast, if at all.
