Toma pulled his jeep into a parking space, turned off his jeep and just sat
there. Why did I kiss Sage? Why didn't I just leave him alone? It's
obvious that he doesn't like me that way. Toma looked at the rearview
mirror and saw a sign that said 'Hospital'. I drove into the hospital
parking lot? Ah! Toya! Toma got out of his jeep, locked it up and headed
to the doors of the hospital.
"Can I help you?" A nurse asked as Toma walked up to the counter.
"Yea is someone checked in as Toya Caomhnóir here. He's my brother."
"Hmm, let me check." The nurse left into the backroom. Minutes later she came back. "Yes, he's on Level 4 Room 27. Do you know the way?"
"I'll find it thank you." Toma headed to the elevator.
Shin looked out the living room window. "He's still there." Shin looks back at Nasuti, Shu and Ryo. "Why is he worrying so much about Toma?" Ryo looked away. "Do you know why Ryo?"
"Yea but I promised Sage I wouldn't tell you all. He'll have to tell himself." Ryo got up and left to go upstairs.
"I am so lost." Shu said confused. The front door opened. Seiji walked in then shut the door. "Still no sign of him?" Seiji shook his head. "Where could he have gone?"
"Anywhere." Seiji answered. Seiji sat down on the stairs.
"Well there's only one why to find out. Facts," Nasuti commented. "Ryo?"
"Well for one a red-haired guy came over looking for him about two days ago."
"And someone called for him on his so called 'dead cell phone'," Shin added.
"Not to mention he got a letter from...who was it?" Shu asked.
"His older brother." Shu looked at Seiji.
"Older brother!? How do you know?"
"Because he told me. He has two brothers...out of what he told me." Shin stared at Seiji.
"And he's never told us?" Seiji shook his head.
"And he has a reason for it also."
Seiji looked at everybody they were all surprised by this news. Now you know how I......wait a minute...what's that noise? Seiji looked up the stairs. It's coming from my bedroom... Seiji got up and went to his bedroom. The noise got louder and clearer. It's Toma's cell phone. Seiji grabbed the cell phone and answered it.
"Hello?"
"....is Toma there?" someone on the other end asked.
"Um....apparently no..."
"Who is this?"
"Toma's roommate Date Seiji."
"Oh....do you know where he went?"
"Um....no"
"Damn!"
"Are you Tori?"
".......Yea."
"Where could he have gone? Any favorite places he had?"
"I don't know he favorite places in Japan, but he could have gone to see his other brother Toya."
"And where's that at?"
"Level 4 Room 27 at the Tsukihoshi Hospital."
"Thanks." With that Seiji hung up. He looked at everyone else. "Well let's go."
"Where is Toma?" Shin asked desperately.
"Tsukihoshi Hospital."
"Why is he there?!"
"We'll find out."
Found it! Toma knocked on the door and waited for an answer
that he got. The door opened. "Toma? What are you doing here?"
"Mallaidh, I came to see Toya," he said sadly. Mallaidh gave him a smile.
"All right. Come in." Mallaidh moved out of Toma's way as he walked in. Toma looked at Toya, who was lying on a bed. He went to the side of the bed and took his brother's hand.
"It feels like it's been forever since I've seen him." Toma looked at Mallaidh.
"It's only been two years Toma."
"I know....but for me time has pasted slowly." He looks back at Toya. "How long has he been like this?"
"About eight months."
"Where's Éabha?"
"She's at home with Kelly." Toma looked at Mallaidh. Mallaidh smiled. "Yes, you now have a nephew."
"So that's who the boy was at the studio? My nephew...."
"I'll be back I'm going to go get us some food."
"K." Toma heard the door shut then silence. "Toya I'm sorry I ran away from you all. I didn't mean to take off. I really didn't. I....I just need time from all of you. Mallaidh just told me that you now have a son. I'm glad. I haven't really seen him yet but I'm sure he looks like you." Tears started to fall from his face. "I've change a lot since I've seen you. I'm stronger now, and I know how to cook a little bit more than before. My new...well old friends now have helped me through my troubles...but this problem I have to deal on my own." He laid down his head on the bed and cried.
Toma heard a faint knock at the door. He yawned and left up his head. "Is Toma here?"
"Um...yeah." Toma looked at Mallaidh, who was looking at him.
"Who is it, Mallaidh?" Toma asked as he stood up and went to the door.
"I don't know." Toma looked through the door and saw Seiji.
"Sage?" Toma looked at Mallaidh then back at Seiji. "How did you find me?" Seiji smiled.
"Easy...your brother told me where you were. May I talk to you?"
"Uh..." Toma looked at Mallaidh, who nodded. "Yeah." Toma moved outside as he shut the door.
"Toma, first of all, why did you run off?"
"......I kissed you Sage."
"So?" Toma looked at Seiji with a surprised look. "I expected you do that sometime."
"So you don't care?"
"No. Toma, I love you and I know you love me, problem solved. I better get going everyone is waiting out in the jeep." Seiji turned away from Toma.
"Hold it." Toma grabbed Seiji's arm. "Tell them that you are going to stay with me here." Seiji gave Toma a confused look.
"Are you sure?" Toma nodded and let go of Seiji. "Okay." Seiji smiled and walked off. Toma smiled. I feel relieved.
"Who was that?" Mallaidh asked as Toma walked in.
"Date Seiji," Toma said as he sat down. "He's coming back in soon."
"And who is he to you?"
"A friend." More than a friend now. Toma smiled again.
"He's more than a friend I can see it in you." Toma smile left.
"Huh?" A little giggle came from Mallaidh.
"I won't tell your brothers." That's one reason why I hate her, I can never keep a secret......wait! She still doesn't know about the armors! Toma smiled again.
"Good don't."
Seiji made his way back to the red jeep he always thought ugly. "So was Toma there?" Nasuti asked as Seiji walked up to the jeep.
"Yeah, he was there. And he wants me to stay here with him."
"What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing. He's brother is in the hospital not him....I think..."
"How long will you two be?" Seiji shrugged, waved to them and took off back to where Toma was. He knocked on the door. The door opened it was Toma. Seiji smiled.
"Welcome back." Toma said, smiling. Man it's been a long time since I've seen him smile. Toma moved aside without Seiji asking. "Mallaidh went to go get Éabha and Kelly." Seiji gave Toma a questionable look. "Oh," Toma laughed. "She's my sister-in-law. Éabha is my niece and Kelly is my nephew."
"Wow I didn't know you had that much family." Toma shyly smiled.
"Just enough to make me happy," Toma walked over to the bed and sat down in the bed next to it.
"What happened to him?" Seiji asked as he sat down.
"I don't know yet." Silence hit the room as Seiji watched Toma as he quietly talked to the unmoving body. Toma's eyes were happy but also sad at the same time. Seiji has never seen that in someone. He forced himself to look around the room. The walls were cream white with a light-light brown border around the room. The room had a bouquet of flowers on every table with some toys in a small box under one of the tables. He smiled. I wonder how old his niece and nephew are. He looks back at Toma.
"So...who was the guy that came over when you were asleep?" Toma looked at Seiji.
"What are you talking about? What guy?"
"The one with red hair, American cloths with the scar on his right cheek."
"Oh...that was Tori, my other brother."
"It was!? He has red hair and you don't?!" Toma put a finger over his mouth. Seiji blushed. "Sorry Toma."
"Yes it was my brother and yes he has red hair and I don't. What do you expect the whole family to have red hair?"
"No....yes....oh I don't know." Toma shook his head. Seiji jumped as the door swung open.
"Uncle Morin!" a little girl yelled as she came into the room. She ran straight to Toma. She had dark red hair that fell to her waist. Seiji gave Toma a confused look as he picked her up smiling.
"Hey Éabha." The little girl's face changed as Toma picked her up. She then hit Toma in the shoulder. "Ow." He faked.
"Why did you leave us!?" Seiji smiled. This girl is a lot like my little sister.
"Cause Éabha Máirín, he had to go to school," someone holding a small boy said. This must be Mallaidh and Kelly. Interesting family you got here Toma. One is a singer, one is in a coma, one is...well I'm not going to get into that. "So this is...Seiji?" Seiji turned to her.
"Just call me Sage," he smiled.
"I'm Mallaidh," she said as she pulled out her hand for a shake. Seiji looked at it a minute then shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Seiji said shyly. Toma laughed then said something in a different language that Seiji didn't know. I think that was Gaelic...I have no idea. Mallaidh laughed after Toma finished.
"Your right Mori, well I need to go and talk with the doctor. Will you watch Kelly and Éabha?" she said breathlessly.
"Yea Mallaidh I will." Toma said with a smile. He looks happy... Mallaidh then left the room once again.
"Uncle Morin..." Éabha whined. Seiji turned his attention to Toma and the two kids. He smiled at the look. Éabha and Kelly were on Toma's lap, covering the upper legs. "Why didn't you go to school at home?" Éabha gave Toma a sad face.
"Cause I needed to be in a place so I could concentrate more. When I'm done with school I'll come home, okay?" Toma looked at both of them. Éabha gave a fast nod. Toma smiled at her. "Good."
"Can I help you?" A nurse asked as Toma walked up to the counter.
"Yea is someone checked in as Toya Caomhnóir here. He's my brother."
"Hmm, let me check." The nurse left into the backroom. Minutes later she came back. "Yes, he's on Level 4 Room 27. Do you know the way?"
