Chapter V

Normal P.O.V.

"Hana-chan!" Sendoh smiled his thousand mega-watt smile at his boyfriend.

"Akira-kun." Sakuragi said with a forced smile.

"Come on, come on! There's a funfair going on over there. Quick, let's go. I want to try out all the rides." Sendoh gave big gestures as he acted like a child who had just received a present from Santa Claus. Without waiting for an answer, he dragged Sakuragi with him.

Sakuragi sighed as Sendoh was acting like a big baby, whining to go on every ride even if they looked really scary to him. They had been at the funfair for almost two hours now and Sendoh had just bought candy floss for both of them. Sakuragi nibbled on his candy floss and was nodding to whatever Sendoh was blubbering but he did not hear anything. Then Sendoh's cell phone rang.

"Sumimasen, ne?" Sendoh excused himself but received no answer from Sakuragi, so he answered the phone anyway.

"What? We'll be right over now." Sendoh said loudly and that brought Sakuragi out of his daze.

"What's the matter, Sen... I mean Akira-kun?" Sakuragi asked as Sendoh off his phone in a hurry.

"Quick, we need to get to the hospital."

"For what?"

"Rukawa's gotten into a fatal accident last night when he left the clubhouse and the doctor said he might not be able to live through this afternoon."

What? Kaede's going to die? No... no, this cannot be... He can't leave like that... he hasn't got me back... he can't leave me alone... he can't... Sakuragi was totally stunned and was lost in his thoughts. He did not notice that Sendoh had already ushered him into his car and was on their way to the hospital.

--------- At the Hospital ---------

"Which ward is it?" Sakuragi asked.

"11."

Sakuragi rushed to the ward and literally crashed through the door. Sendoh was close behind. Sakuragi panted as he saw the figure on the bed was already covered up with the bed sheet. He shook his head and backed away, mumbling.

"No... this can't be... can't be... he... just..." Sakuragi was on the verge of tears as he watched the lifeless form in front of him.

"Hanaimich, you're a minute too late... Rukawa..." Youhei said as he gave a small shake of his head.

"Don't be too sad, Hana-chan..." Sendoh put an arm around Sakuragi.

"Kaede!" Sakuragi broke free from Sendoh and flung himself on the figure, sobbing really hard. "Kaede! Wake up! You can't leave... can't leave me alone... sob... sob... you baka kitsune, I command you to wake up now." The red head was now pounding the bed as if that would bring Rukawa Kaede back to life.

"Hanamichi... Rukawa's last words are 'I regretted having broke up with Hana- chan last year... and I've hurt such a beautiful soul... I guess now Kami-sama is punishing me for doing that... I just wish that Hana-chan is beside me now...'. That was his last words." Youhei said in his saddest tone.

"Sniff... Kaede... Kaede, I'm here... I'm here, you can wake up now...yes, you have hurt me once, but if you don't wake up now, you really are hurting me! Wake up, you baka kitsune! If you wake up now, I'll do anything for you." Sakuragi was now bellowing at the figure, even though he knew that what ever he said now, Rukawa could not hear it.

"Actually, Rukawa's condition wasn't all that bad when he was admitted. But he said you rejected him and didn't want him anymore, so his heart was not savable and he chose to die." Youhei added.

"What kind of baka is he? Kitsunes always think differently! Baka baka baka!!"

"Hey, Hana-chan... if Rukawa was still alive, I'm only saying if, would you accept him again?" Sendoh now played his part.

"Yes, yes. I'll do anything for him. He's my life, he's all that I need... I love him... Kaede... I love you... please don't leave me..." Sakuragi was now sobbing so hard that he could not speak probably. Then he felt a hand touch his head, he turned around and saw a hand reaching out from underneath the sheet.

"Ahhh! Help!" Sakuragi screamed.

"Haha..." Youhei and Sendoh could not control their laughter any more, burst out loud.

"Huh?" Sakuragi was confused why those two were acting so strangely but he was even more shocked when the dead, or supposedly dead, Rukawa sat up in his bed.

"Do'aho." Rukawa mumbled as he looked lovingly at the bewildered red head.

"What? What's going on? Aa. I know! You three tricked me! How could... ummmph..." he was cut short as Rukawa pressed his lips against his.

"Kae...Kaede?" Sakuragi gasped when they parted.

"I really would have die of heartbreak if you really go out with other people, not to mention that it's Sendoh. Please, I really really love you. Give me another chance and I'll treasure our love." Rukawa gazed into Sakuragi's chocolate brown eyes pleadingly.

"Kaede... I... aishiteru... I can't live without you but what about your scholarship?" Sakuragi was drowning in Rukawa's blue eyes that shone with love.

"Scholarship? I don't need it anymore when I've found my dream... in you." Rukawa chuckled.

"Congratulations to you two." Youhei stifled a laugh.

"Yea, that was so touching and... funny too! Haha... Rukawa, you are a great actor, man. I don't know that you can hold on for so long under the sheet, if it were me, I'll spring up the moment Hana-chan wailed." Sendoh was also patting the two on their backs and wiping his eyes.

"I didn't wail!" Sakuragi turned into chibi mode and was pounding his fist on the bed to emphasize what he was saying.

"Haha..." all three dark haired youth laughed heartedly upon seeing the cute expression. Sakuragi also joined in as he felt happiness surged through his heart. He was whole once again and was just glad that the three people who loved him so much were there with him, together.

"Erm... Sendoh... I'm sorry for... for..." Sakuragi started as he remembered what he did to the spiky hair boy.

"It's okay. I know that you love Rukawa more than your life... I guess as long as you are happy, I'm fine even if you're not with me." Sendoh said with a shrug, though there was a tiny hint of hurt in those words.

"Oh, Sendoh! Sorry and thank you!" Sakuragi gave the boy a big hug to express his apology and his gratitude.

"Hey! You can repay me by calling me Akira. How many times must I say that?" Sendoh put on a sad puppy-eye look.

"Alright, alright! Akira it is." Sakuragi chuckled at Sendoh's look and gave him a light punch on his arm. The whole ward was now filled with happy laughter.

-------- That Night --------

"Minna-san! Tonight I'll open the show by having a light and cheerful song. Hope you guys like it." Sakuragi was beaming, this time his heart and eyes were laughing with his lips too.

Sakuragi gave a little dance at the instrumental parts and started singing, directing his attention the three boys sitting right at the front of the clubhouse.

"Sometimes all it needs is a song to make me feel easy,

Forget the queue.

The weather is humid and the shop assistant is bad.

At a time like this, a rose blooms in my heart.

At a time like this,

The sun shines its ray on me, and the whole city is in love.

Sometimes all it needs is a song to make me want to fall in love,

Forget the uneasiness.

I'll spend a lot of money and be ticked off by my friends.

At a time like this, a rose blooms in my heart.

At a time like this,

The rainbow also appeared, that's your smile and your love.

I can't miss you,

Fate is a very funny thing, I'm not expecting but it just comes.

I can't miss you,

Love always makes people anxious, Oh, how happy and care free.

Just as my mood is turning good,

The dark clouds have to appear, Your past makes you hesitate.

I'm not the love god, so I try try try,

I won't change and you'll know why.

I can't miss you,

Fate is a very funny thing, I'm not expecting but it just came.

I can't miss you,

Love always makes people anxious, Oh, how happy and care free."

"Thank you, thank you. Especially those three guys right in front, thank you for being the most wonderful and important people in my life. I can't miss you because fate has intertwined our life threads together." Sakuragi gave a huge smile at his old best friend, his new best friend and his same old brand new boyfriend.

"Hey, Hana-chan. I want to sing a song if that's possible." Sendoh asked.

"Sure! Everyone, heartthrob of the town, Sendoh Akira, is going to sing a song for us, do you want to hear it?" Sakuragi shouted and cupped his ears, expecting the audience's answer.

"Yes!"

"Alright! Then here he is!" Sakuragi passed the microphone to Sendoh who whispered the name of the song to the band members.

"Hi everyone, this song is specially for Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Just wishing them only happiness, always."

"Velvet sky is broken,

In the endless vast I waited alone,

Give me luck to hold your hand,

Unless you're not savable.

Know it's you the very first moment,

But Kami-sama was only joking with me.

I could not help it but to love you,

I'll do anything for you,

I feel hurt because you're caught in between.

As long as you're along side with me,

I'll be contented to help you choose him

I handed half of you to him,

I don't know mind losing myself

Never regret that heartbreak'll follow me to death,

I hide half of you in my memory.

Looking at your happiness,

A smile of an angel, I'm willing even if it hurts.

I prayed under the sky alone that

There's a star specially for me.

Transformed my love for you to a guardian star,

I'll ask for nothing more."

Everybody was drowned in the song as they pondered on the lyrics. And Sendoh received a huge applause from the audience, he bowed and went back to his friends.

"Rukawa, I'm serious about the song. I'm only giving you back half of Hana- chan and keeping the other half. If I find out that you're not loving Hana- chan as much as he deserves it, I'll not hesitate to compete with you to take him back."

"Don't worry, I'll never give you a chance to do that. I'll love Hana-chan more than my own life."

"Akira, thank you for being there for me and thank you for your protection." Sakuragi gave Sendoh a hug. Then the four of them sat back and enjoy themselves with the drinks and the songs performed by other singers. Then it was the last song for the night, and Sakuragi, as usual, was the one singing it.

"This song is a song that I like a lot and my boyfriend likes it a lot too. Hope you guys will like it as well."

"Oh oh oh..." Sakuragi sang with his soft and rich voice. He gave a small frown at this point because Rukawa suddenly disappeared. But he continued singing.

"Wandering like a leaf upon the wind,

I have been searching for someone."

"Holding out for a love to shake my soul,

Heaven or nothing." Rukawa stepped onto the stage with a microphone and sang his part. Sakuragi gave a smile the moment his heard Rukawa's first note. The audience cheered.

"Then you walked into my life

In a blaze of light." Sakuragi held hands with Rukawa as Rukawa gave him a red rose.

"I've never wanted someone more,

You are the one I've waited for." Rukawa gave that hand a small squeeze and both of them sang the chorus together.

"Light of my life,

You are the fire in my heart.

When I am lost,

I know I'll feel you burning in the dark.

You're the light of my life,

Every star in the sky

Shines more brightly when you're at my side.

You're the light of my life."

Rukawa: Dreaming, I feel you next to me.

Sakuragi: No, I'm not, I'm not dreaming

'Cause I'm drowning in your kiss,

I die in your arms.

Rukawa: And when I hear you call my name,

Sakuragi: Baby, it's like I'm born again.

Both: [Chorus]

Rukawa: Your love's a lantern in the rain,

Bringing me home time and again.

Burning like an eternal flame.

Sakuragi: Light of my life,

You're the beat of my heart.

When I am lost...

Rukawa: When you're lost I know.

Sakuragi: You'll see me shining

Shining in the dark.

Both: You're the light of my life,

Like the stars in the sky.

Only you can take me through.

You're the only one who makes it right.

Only you set fire to the night.

You're the light of my life.

Sakuragi's and Rukawa's voice intertwined together to form the perfect note as both of them had the most heavenly voice and the audience was affected with the love radiating from them. They received the biggest, loudest and longest applause for that night. Both Youhei and Sendoh was clapping hard and was standing up, witnessing the two rebuilding the bond between them.

That night, both Sakuragi and Rukawa saw the sweetest smile on their boyfriends. Of course they would smile a smile of an angle for they had gone through so much for love. This is a love that would be everlasting, thanks to two good friends and two hearts that have nothing to fear now.
