He guys. I've been getting a lot of questions about the story so I'm gonna answer some. For all you Blue lovers out there I do plan on adding her in and as a tribute to her fans this is the first chapter she will be in. As for Tsume and Toboe, I noticed in the anime show that they always had a connection to each other even though Tsume doesn't really show it until Toboe is killed. I wanted to keep true to that connection that why I wrote that scene in the alleyway. I hope that's enough to keep you reading on. Any more questions and I'll be sure to answer them. As for Cher and Hubb, in the anime Hubb was always the one to go after Cher. Cher knows Hubb cares but now Hubb want Cher to show him that she needs him too and it's not just a one-way street.
He sat at the bar stool looking down at his drinking waiting. He knew she would come he had to believe that because it was the only thing that kept him going. It was the only thing that kept him going back to her. He took another sip of his drink finishing it up.
"You know I don't like it when you drink." Her voice broke into his mind.
"I knew you were coming." Hubb said to her.
"No you didn't, you only drink when you worry." She said taking a seat next to him at the bar.
"Why don't we go some place?" He asked pushing away the empty shot glass.
"I can't I have work to do." She said lowering her eyes.
"Work huh? He said as if already expecting it.
"I just wanted to talk." Cher said pushing her hear up and closing her eyes.
"Cher, I need to know." He said looking over at her.
"I know it's just been hard." She said bring her head back down to look at him.
"I know, I can tell and I can also help if you let me." He said bringing his hand to her face.
"I've been feeling like if I'm missing something important in my life, I just don't know what." Cher said pulling away a little.
"Please." Hubb pleaded.
She leaned in and softly kissed him. "Thank you."
He understood why she thanked him. He knew she needed him to make her feel complete for those few seconds their lips touched. Then it will go back to normal him chasing after her and her running away. The only thing he wanted to feel was that she needed him and he was content with that.
"I have to go now." Cher said getting up.
"If you need me for anything I'll be there." Hubb said smiling.
"I know." She smiled back and walked out the door.
"Another drink." Hub called to the bartender. A stout man walked over in front of hub and slapped an empty shot drink on the table and preceded to fill it with a yellowish
Liquid. Hubb looked down at the cup and picked it up. As it touched his lips he smiled before putting it down again.
"Here." Hubb placed the money on the counter and walked out.
The bartender looked down at the money then at the full glass before nodding his head.
"I guess love makes you quit even the most addictive things." He grabbed the money and drank the cup himself.
Toboe walked in through the front door as he tried to wipe away the remainder of his tears. He let down his bag on the ground and took off his shoes.
"Toboe is that you?" A woman's voice was heard coming from the kitchen.
Toboe placed his feet into his slippers and looked up toward the kitchen. A young female with striking blue eyes and short black hair stood at the doorframe.
"Toboe, are you ok?" She asked concern. She quickly examined Toboe with her eyes before she noticed his.
"Oh Toboe." She quickly ran over to him and saw that his cloths were slightly dirty.
"What happened?" She asked. "Are you bleeding?" She also noticed trickles of blood on his shirt.
"It-It's not my blood." Toboe said in a low voice. Tears began to fall. "I'm sorry." He began.
"It's ok Toboe." She grabbed him in her arms and let him cry.
"You told me to be here and now he's gone." Toboe choked out.
"I had to drop him off Pops he said wanted to wait for you but, I couldn't risk it." The young female tried to console the crying boy. "He'll be back, we can go see him in a couple of days." She said.
Toboe pulled away and smiled at her. "Your right Blue we'll go see him and maybe even take him some flowers." Toboe said wiping the last of his tears.
Blue smiled and coerced him to the kitchen. "Come on I'll get you something to eat." She said putting her arm on his shoulder. Toboe followed happily behind her. "Don't worry Pops I'll go see you as quick as possible but until then Blue will take car of me." Toboe said to himself. "And so will Tsume."
Toboe sat down across the table from Blue as he looked into her concerned eyes.
"Toboe what happened?" She said looking back into his hazelnut eyes.
"Nothing." He said trying to reassure her that everything was all right.
"So don't you start school tomorrow?" He asked changing thee subject.
"Yeh, so I want you to wait for me everyday ok." She asked making sure he was listening.
"Don't worry I'll wait for you." Toboe said smiling. "Um Blue?"
"Yes." Blue answered.
"Is Pops going to be ok?" Toboe asked playing with his bracelets.
"Of course he is, Pops is strong and he will get over this." Blue said touching his hand to stop him from playing with his bracelets. "Don't worry." She said smiling again at him.
"I won't." Toboe answered.
"Well do you have any homework?" Blue asked him.
"But Blue I wanted to go out and play for awhile." He began to complain.
"I don't think so." Blue protested.
"But Blue." Toboe began to whine.
"If you don't do it I wont take you to see Pops when he's better." She said knowing she was victorious.
"Fine, I'll go and do it." Toboe got up from the table and walked down the hall.
Blue sat alone at the table and breathed in deep. "I'll know you'll be ok your stronger then this." She smiled to herself. "I can't believe I'm going back to school and I'm taking care of a kid. At least I won't be alone anymore." She said to herself before walking down the hall. It was her first day and she had already forgotten she was supposed to make Toboe something to eat. Toboe sat on the floor of the living room his books placed in front of him when his stomach began to growl. "Blue forgot to feed me." Toboe wanted to tell her but it was only her first day and she had already told him to do homework like a good babysitter is suppose to so he didn't want to ruin it for her. But I hope she has a good memory cause I'm starved." Toboe laughed to himself before Blue walked into the room.
"Um, I was gonna ask you what you wanted to eat." Blue said scratching her head.
"I guess I'm a little hungry now that you mention it." Toboe tried to play it off. "That's two points for Blue." Toboe smiled. "Come on Blue all show you how to make me a grilled cheese sandwich." Toboe said grabbing Blue by the arm and walking with her toward the kitchen. A couple of burnt sandwiches and a fire alarm later Toboe sat on the floor eating his cheese sandwich as Blue looked on. "I think I'm getting the hang of this." She said before she lay down on the couch and took a deep breath.
So what do you guys think? Did you like this chapter? Hope so. This chapter is mostly about Blue coming into the picture. She's now responsible for Toboe for a while. Background story is that Pops is sick and now Blues in charge. Well hope you liked it. Bye!
