Chapter 6
(silence)
(silence)
(silence)
A sudden fascination of my feet came over me and I had a strong urge to look at them.
The thick layer of silence was broken when Conner said," So….,"
"Er….that's…nice," I said, picking my words carefully.
The first thing that flew to my mind was, Ackkkk! Thank goodness I didn't tell him that I've a small crush on him! Imagine the humiliation, embarrassment, distress, the pain, the agony, the suffering …..ok, maybe I am exaggerating a little….
"Hey, I know it maybe a little awkward for you, but that's ok," he said gently.
"I'm pe..perfectly…f..fine," I managed to splutter.
"Are you sure?" he asked, unsure.
"Yeah," I said.
To think about all those things I said about Frodo and Sam being gay….
"Great," he said looking very relieved.
"It's okay. I guess. Maybe you can pretend to be my boyfriend or something and make Sugiro turn green with jealousy. Muahahahaha," I cackled evilly.
"Oookay, I think I better get back to my room to sleep," Conner said giving me a weird look.
"Yeah, sure," I said sheepishly.

[2.43 a.m.]
*Beep, beep, beep*
*Beep, beep, beep*
"Hello?" I said groggily to the phone.
(silence)
"Hello ? Who's this?" I asked again.
I was met with silence again.
Who is this moron who's phoning me in the middle of the night?
"Hello? Haha….very funny. Great prank call. Bye bye," I said sarcastically ready to slam down the phone.
"Do'aho," a voice said.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure who's on the phone…..
"Rukawa!?" I asked, surprised.
"The baby won't stop crying," he said not bothering to introduce himself.
'Well, try feeding it or cuddling it," I said.
"Tried that," he said.
"Change its diapers or something," I groaned.
"Done," he said.
"Just DO something okay? Let me sleep in peace," I snapped.
"I need sleep too," he grumbled.
"What do you expect me to do? Use my supreme magical powers to make it shut up?" I asked sarcastically.
"If it helps," he muttered.
"Come to my house," he finally said.
"What? Forget it. Just because you're not capable of making the baby keep quiet you want me to go over?" I raged.
"Don't forget. Exam marks," he said, threatening me.
He actually cares?
I slowly considered it and muttered "fine"
After he gave me his house address, I quickly changed into some casual clothes and threw on my blue jacket before slipping out of the house quietly….
[Rukawa's POV]
I stared at the object named 'phone' and reluctantly picked the phone up to call Miharu. After a few rings, someone picked up the phone. For a moment there, my mind was totally blank.
I forgot how to start a phone conversation, what do you expect from someone who hasn't used a phone in years? I find it meaningless to blabber continuously with someone when I can do something better like…….play basketball of course.
After I put down the phone, I returned to the room and the 'baby from hell' continued to annoy me with it's cries…..
I felt like smashing it into bits, trashing it against the wall, squishing it to pulp, rip it into tiny pieces or burn it into black ashes.
But of course I didn't, I am a civilized person and against violence after all……
* * * * * *
"I've finally reached…." I mumbled to myself. I admired the huge grand Victorian house in front of me. I slowly stepped across the immaculate lawn trying to make as little noise as possible. Before I could ring the doorbell, I felt something hit my head.
"Do'aho," someone said.
I turned around and saw Rukawa motioning me to walk towards him. I crept to the other side of the house where Rukawa's head poked out from a window.
"Come through here," he said to me from the window of his bedroom on the second level.
"Why can't you just open the front door like normal people do?" I asked.
"Parent's sleeping. Alarm set," he answered.
"Don't you know the code?" I asked him.
He shook his head.
Hopeless…..
"How am I going to reach up there? Do you have a ladder or something?" I asked.
He pointed casually towards the big tree beside his bedroom.
W-H-A-T??? He wants me to climb that tree? What does he think I am? Tarzan!?
I stared at the big willow tree which stood firmly in front of me. It's sprawling branches going up like reaching arms with many long fingered hands which had rich green leaves that reflected the silver moonlight shining down. The rustle of the leaves seemed to be playing a soft sweet melody and it's great big thick roots spread on the ground. It's old and tough bark showed years of wisdom and the fresh grass with dew drops……I think I've been reading too much Tolkien lately! ^_^
"Hurry," he urged.
I glared at him but very reluctantly climbed up the tree.
Calm down, Miharu. You can do this. It's just a maggoty tree….
*RIPPPP*
There goes my new jeans……* Groan *
"You're going to pay for this," I warned him.
I got to the nearest branch to his bedroom and as I was about to reach the window, I felt something crawling up my arm. When I looked down, I saw BIG, JUICY, FAT red ants on MY arm, biting it.
I managed to stifle my scream and I shook my arms to get rid of the ants but I lost my balance and I felt myself falling. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to come. I waited and waited…….
I slowly opened my eyes and saw that Rukawa was holding my hands to prevent me from falling.
* Grunt * "You're heavy," he grumbled as he slowly pulled me up.
"And I suppose you are some skinny model who feeds on celery sticks everyday?" I shot back.
Finally, he pulled me into his room. I stood up to observe his room and surprisingly, it was pretty neat, for a guy.
Unlike my room, no leftover food with mold on top, no expired sour milk, no empty beer cans in the corners of the room and no underwear tossed around.
"So, where's the baby?" I asked him.
He pointed towards a pile-I mean mountain of pillows.
"Where?" I asked again, confused.
"Underneath the pillows." he said.
I looked at him with pure horror and shouted," Do you want the baby to suffocate and die looking ugly?"
I pulled off the pillows and found the baby buried right underneath the pile. I carried the baby and tried feeding, changing it's diapers and yada yada….. Finally, I decided to sing it to sleep. I softly hummed a tune my mother used to sing to me when I was little. Soon, I felt my eyelids grow heavy.
"Rukawa, can I lay on your bed for a moment?" I asked sleepily.
He grunted which I assumed was a yes. I got on his bed and dozed off to sleep……
[Rukawa's POV]
Damn….she asleep and on MY bed.
"Oi," I said to her.
No response.
"OI," I shouted.
No response.
I shook her a little but there was still no response.
I tried shaking harder but she still slept like a log.
Stupid cow.
I pushed her to the right side as far as I could and I slept on the left side…
zzZZZZZZ….
* * * * * * * *
[Miharu's POV]
I felt the sun rays hit my face. I slowly reached out for my alarm clock.
Where is it?
As my eyes focused, I saw I wasn't in my own room…..but Rukawa's room. Flashbacks of yesterday's incident came to my mind.
Shit! What if Wairei finds out?
I tried to get up from the bed but something held me down. I looked down and saw a pair of arms around my waist and a pair of legs circling mine. I turned around and saw Rukawa sleeping soundly. His warm breath tickled my neck.
What the HELL? He's hugging me like I'm some pillow?
I tried to pry his hands off but his grip was so strong.
Suddenly, I noticed how comfortable it felt to be in his arms. His rock hard chest against my back and his strong arms around me, I slowly turned my face towards him and it was then I noticed he was pretty good looking. A stray lock of his raven hair fell in front of his closed eyes.
My hand itched to brush it away. My heart started to beat faster as I slowly lifted my hand. Just as I was about to touch his hair, his blue sapphire eyes flew open and met mine. I quickly jerked back my hand and my face started to grow red.
"What are you doing?" he asked accusingly.
"Nothing," I said firmly.
"Do'aho," he muttered.
"Hey, you're the one er…holding me like this! That reminds me, get your freaking arms away from me!" I said.
He stared at me for a few seconds before releasing his grasp. I quickly got up with a tinge of regret and straightened up my clothes.
Before I left, I asked him," How about we go out this Sunday with the baby?"
"What for?" he asked.
"Well, sensei said we should try going out once in a while with the baby," I said.
"Ok," he said.
"We'll meet in my house and figure out a place to go," I told him.
He nodded.
"So, how do I get out?" I asked him.
"Window," he said.
"What? NO, please…," I pleaded……
[Rukawa's POV]
My whole room smells like Miharu or more like her shampoo which smells like apple. It's annoying…..
I grabbed the mosquito spray thing and sprayed my whole room…..
That's better…..
