~ Chapter Four ~

"Yeti? Oh my! Whas hattened to the yon mater? Quikly, quikly! Brin im insido!" Paulina, the housekeeper from Switzerland, answered the door when Hatori came to Hiro's house.

"Paulina? Who...? Hiro!" A very beautiful and young looking woman came into the entrance hall and as soon as she saw Hiro in Hatori's arms she rushed forward to him.

"Kaoru!" She called out and a man shortly followed her into the room, also rushing as he saw Hiro's state.

"Jesus Christ! Is he alright Hatori?" He said as he took Hiro from Hatori and started climbing the stairs to Hiro's room.

Hatori, Paulina and the woman, whose name was Hikaru, all followed from behind him.

"Yes, he's alright. Stupid and idiotic but he's not going to die. Your son was outside in the snow and judging from how is lungs are speeding, he was running around a lot as well."

"My god." Said Hikaru as she quickly got along side her husband to look at Hiro.

He was very, very pale and didn't seem to be moving except for a slight shiver.

"Hatori? Is this blanket yours?" She asked curiously. Somehow she didn't think it would be his, probably because it was baby blue cotton and had the name 'Megumi' on the upper right hand corner.

"No. Before I got to Hiro he was at a friends house. In fact it was his friend that called me. His mother let us use this in an effort to keep him warm. I suppose his friends name must have been Megumi."

"Meg...? Hiro! Oh my god!" Kisa and Ayame both ran out of Kisa's bedroom and speeded up in front of their father and brother,

"He's alright dear. Do you know who this Megumi is? I'd like to thank his mother." Said Hikaru smiling slightly as her husband led them into Hiro's bedroom.

He laid Hiro down on the bed and quickly covered him up with the comforters and blankets layering his western style bed.

"Hanajima-kun? He's a new boy in our class, mom. Today was his first day." She said getting up on the bed and curling herself around Hiro as if to subconsciously comfort and warm him. Ayame shortly followed but got under the covers and hugged Hiro in the chest instead of the back.

"Well... Our son certainly does get around, doesn't he? He's already friends with a boy that just came here today?" Said Kaoru, frowning slightly. He didn't like where this was going as he and the entire Sohma family knew his son's... so called... 'preferences'.

"Hanajima? Hmm... Now that I think about it, that boy didn't call Hiro, Sohma. He called him Hiro-san. As if they were good friends..." Hatori said, frowning a bit himself, "But that's probably just because Hiro hates formalities."

"Shh! He needs to sleep. Go away you guys." Kisa said as she got under the blankets and snuggled in closer to Hiro. She was so close now that her head was resting on his shoulders and she knew that Hiro was steadily getting warmer.

Softly she fell asleep with only her brother in her thoughts.

"Megumi...? When did you meet that boy?"

"Who is really anyways?"

"Did you know he had a limousine?"

"He was really, really cute!"

"... Guys... Sit down..." Megumi said and his whole family instantly complied.

His mother, Haruka, was slightly short and had long dark hair. She loved children, cooking and was very sweet and kind. Though... she could be strange at times and often got caught reading or watching yaoi.

His two little sisters, Saira and Satoru, were twins and indulged in cute guys.

His older sister, Sakura, was a miniature mother. His other older sister, Saki, was strange in her own ways and even seemed to be able to control physic waves.

His eldest older brother, Touya, was very silent and uncontrollable.

Finally, his closest sibling in age, Mamoru, was gay. Clear and out. He didn't deny it, in fact, he encouraged it and always tried to get Megumi to go out with him and pick up guys, saying he knew more than twenty guys who had asked him about Megumi's preferences and if he was available.

It freaked Megumi out to be perfectly honest but somehow when Hiro had been there, on the bus, just centimeters apart from him, he had wanted to kiss him. He had wanted it... badly...

"That was Sohma Hiro and-"

"SOHMA HIRO! THAT WAS HIM?" Sakura and Mamoru both shouted out at the same time. Of course they would know of him, he thought. Mamoru was in the 11th grade and Sakura was in the 12th so they both went to his school and even he had 'heard' about him before actually meeting him. He was quite... popular.

"Yes. Now can I continue?"

"Go ahead..." They both sat back down.

"I asked him for directions to the grocery store and-"

"Oh dear! The dinner!" His mother piped and ran out of the room dragging, Sakura and Saki with her.

"That's it! If you don't want to hear it, I'm going to bed!" Megumi said as he jumped up and stomped up to his room, well, half-way there he had to start running because his whole family, mother included, were chasing after him.

"No! We want to hear it! Megumi!" He ran and slammed his bedroom door shut, quickly locking it not a second before the pounding on the door began.

"Megumi!"

He sighed and went to his closet, pulling out an over-large shirt; he stripped, put it on, turned his radio on a rock station and got in bed. Soon in the warmth, he fell asleep, wondering if Hiro was all right...

W love
