Chapter Fourteen in Which Yasashiiko's Troubles Continue: Jyou!
Depression.
Ken opened his eyes and found that he was in a strange room.
"Shiranai tenjou.." he said slowly.
Ken sighed. It was 8 in the morning. He studied his hands and saw that he was a she. One black nail was bitten. Mimi would never let him hear the end of it. Bad. Hikari went to the boyscout camp for a week before the school started and accidentally, Yamato was the leader of her group. Sora and Mimi went to the USA for a week. Miyako was visiting her sister's family. He was so lonely. So miserable. He had such a headache.
When Ken had depression like this, when he was a boy, he was comforted by his best friend. He tried to imagine Daisuke's reaction if he turned up in his apartment now... Panicking Daisuke. Daisuke eager to please. Horny Daisuke. Boo, scary.
The pillow smelt of Koushirou. Last night... Last night they went to a club with Jyou.
Let me think...
There was loud music and a small feeling that Yasashiiko shouldn't be there. Jyou drank a lot. Actually, the three of them drank a lot, that's why she couldn't remember everything straight away. They danced. They drank and danced. They danced and drank...
Then Jyou climbed on the scene. Danced with a strip-girl. Began his sole strip show. Was dragged in his striped shorts, screaming, away by the bullies. She remembered that his chest was so pale, it glowed blue in the neon light. It was kind of pretty if you were a ghost. She remembered that they were searching for his clothes and couldn't find the shirt. Then some big guy started making passes at Jyou and bought him a lot of whiskey, which Jyou drank eagerly. Then the man miraculously disappeared with Jyou, and Koushrou and she had to look for him for a quarter of an hour before they discovered him in the storeroom, locked in a solid kiss with that guy. Then they had a serious talk with Jyou. Several mutual punches away, they exited the club. It was no fun, anyway.
They were walking across Odaiba, singing Megumi Hayashibara's songs.
zankoku na tenshi no you ni
shounen yo shinwa ni nare
(Like a cruel angel,
young boy, become the legend!)
aoi kaze ga ima
mune no doa wo tataite mo
watashi dake wo tada mitsumete
hohoenderu anata
(A blue wind is now
knocking at the door to your heart, and yet
you are merely gazing at me
and smiling.)
sotto fureru mono
motomeru koto ni muchuu de
unmei sae mada shiranai
itaike na hitomi
(Something gently touching-
you're so intent on seeking it out,
that you can't even see your fate yet,
with such innocent eyes.)
dakedo itsuka kidzuku deshou
sono senaka ni wa
haruka mirai mezasu tame no
hane ga aru koto
(But someday I think you'll find out
that what's on your back
are wings that are for
heading for the far-off future.)
Then *somehow* they found themselves in a police department, in a funny room with mirrors. In that very room, they finished the bottle of tequila that Jyou won at the strip show. Then came a kind policeman and told them that he called up Kido, but Jyou's father refused to drive to the police department to collect his son. Instead, Koushirou's parents were coming. It was nice of him, really.
Then, she woke up in an unfamiliar room with the unfamiliar ceiling.
Yasashiiko sighed. She had a headache. And depression on top of it. And just to make things worse, school was starting in a week, and it meant that Ken's classmates were going to meet Yasashiiko. She didn't look forwards to it at all.
"Shiranai tenjou," she repeated slowly.
The door opened. Rubbing his head with a towel, Jyou came into the room. He stopped and gave Yasashiiko a guilty glance.
"I'm going to the library, bye," he said. He grabbed his stuff and left. There was something awkward in the way he left. He was so nice to her last night.
Then the realisation hit home. Yasashiiko moaned in horror at the memory.
"I slept with Jyou!"
tsuzuku.

So, the things are progressing. Next chapter, it's Daiken! ^_-
Ah, I'm announcing the couples in this story (but I'm not telling who the father is!). Note that Ken is Yasashiiko: Taiken, Koushiken, Jyoken, Daiken, Ioken, Kaiken, Taken, Yamaken. ^___^ Ja!
