Chapter 28.
Yoh stood infront of the house then walked ever so slowly to the door way. He breathed hard as he knocked on the door a swirl of emotions overcoming him. *~ I don't care anymore...I don't care what anyone says or thinks..*~ Yoh watched carefully as the lights came on and someone fumbled at the door. He stood up straight his hands trembled as the door opened a very short man with an angry bitter look to his face stood there.
" Can I help you?" He asked angrily.
*~ He didn't have any maids or servants answer the door for him?~* He thought gulping his palms began to sweat. *~ No, I came here for a reason...I can't back down now...after all everything will work out somehow...*~ Yoh forced himself to remain polite and proper. He closed his eyes and bowed.
" Yes, Mr. Oyamada Mansumi I am here to speak to you about your son Oyamada Manta..." He spoke as politely as he could sweat rolling down his forehead.
" My son?" Mansumi asked sneering. " Come in then..."
Yoh bowed once more and quickly walked in taking off his shoes. Mansumi snickered as he closed the door behind him. A servant stood beside him in the shadows of the stairway.
" Prepare the boy some 'special' tea would you?" He requested. " Ah, come in and sit down on the couch tell me about Manta.." He said motioning Yoh to the red velvet couch.
" Y..Yes sir.." Yoh said as he sat down. Mr. Oyamada sat in a chair opposite to him.
" Well, I'm here to request that you allow me to.." Yoh closed his eyes breathing hard staying as calm as he possibly could.
" Allow you to what?" He asked his stare becoming colder.
" Tea?" a man knelt down with a cup and saucer and placed it twords Yoh on the small wooden cherrywood table.
" Ah...Thankyou.." Yoh smiled as he looked down into the swirling green tea.
" What I was going to say is I'd like it if Manta could live with me...at my house, Its not as big or as fancy as yours is but I truelly think he would be happier there...he would still go to high school and cram school too..I mean..if you still wanted to pay for it...no offense but I think Manta-chan would be so much happier with a job of his own..the boy is smart enough to become as rich as you are and I bet it would be good for him to know what it feels like to almost be living on his own." Yoh grinned happily as he sipped his tea.
" So you think my way of taking care of my son is wrong? is that what you are trying to say that he shouldn't live here or take over the company!? How dare you!!! How dare you come into my house and tell ME what I should be doing with MY son!!!! Why? Why do you call Manta 'Chan'? What's your relationship with him? Why havn't I heard of you in this household?" Mansumi's face became red as he yelled.
Yoh closed his eyes and took in a deep breath " If you love your son...you'd do whats best for him you know..." He opened his a penetrating stare soon came after.
" How dare you....AND YOU STILL HAVn'T TOLD ME HOW YOU KNOW MY SON!!" His voice boomed as the house shook.
" I am Asakura Yoh...I've been Manta's best friend for three years now...every time he's cryed, every time he's smiled, every time he needed someone I've been there for him..and...I....I LOVE YOUR SON!! I don't care if he's short...I don't care what my father or you say...I truelly love Manta-chan even if he isn't aware my love for him is real...and I will always love him. I don't like it..I don't like how you beat him! Whats the point of it? Just so that he studies harder than everyone else does so that he gets a better job? For WHAT!? So that he grows up being miserable!!!!" Yoh panted standing up and clenching his fists.
Mansumi snickered. " Do you really think my son would fall inlove with another boy? what are you thinking...he knows if he ever acted in such a manner he wouldn't be able to see the light of day again...foolish boy you are...the way you think....all of it...is foolish...you'll never survive in the real world.."
Yoh sat down his teeth clenched he looked down at the tea and took another sip. " Its not right,....." He whispered his eyes becoming dialted and his body stiff.
" Tell me how are you...?" Oyamada asked him. The Servant smirking.
Yoh's eyes became even more dialated and his mouth hung open as shivering fits overcame him. his hands shook as he dropped the tea cup and it smashed to the floor.
"W.....W.....Wha....t....tttttt......diiiddddd.............yyyouuuu.....ddddooo toooo.......meeeeee....?" Yoh gasped as his body became numb and his sight blurry. everything around him became black as he fell to the carpet with a thud.
" Take him to the cellar...then once he wakes...I'll teach him to never come here again..." Mansumi stood up his eyes like ice.
