Chapter 6
As Kaede Rukawa was fixing the boxes and packages, Akira Sendoh was washing the dishes. Fuyu is watching his master fix the boxes. There were endless tons of imported chocolates. The living room was already filled with basketball stuffs. There was a mat and pillow that Kaede received as a gift, and Fuyu laid down on them.
When Akira was done washing the dishes, he went back just to see that his friend is not yet done. "Wow! I do receive gifts at Christmas or at my birthday gifts, but not this many!" He said as he rummaged at the pink envelopes. Kaede watched his friend as Akira read some letters. "Let's see... All these are from your fans!"
Akira continued to read some letters. There was one who is telling Kaede, begging might be, to be her boy friend. "Some are very desperate, ne?" Kaede shrugged. He does not know what to answer, he never read the stupid girls' /love/ letters. /love/.
"Do you want chocolates or picture frames or mugs? You can get what you want." Kaede said as he continued fixing the boxes. Akira shrugged. "I'll get pimples." Kaede stared at Akira blankly. "Do'aho." "Hey! Even you hate the chocolates." Akira said as he defended himself. Kaede responded to the other as a counter defense. "I'm allergic to chocolates."
"Stop denying it! I know you just don't want those!" Kaede left the boy complaining at the chocolates.
~+~+~+~
Akira stared at the sky. He finally had peace, that is after selling chocolates to their neighbors. As expected, they earned a lot of money. He still stared at the sky. He had just watched the news, and it said that there are three storms going to the direction of Japan, not to mention that there is already a storm on Okinawa heading to Kanagawa. This week will be rainy.
He was suddenly disturbed when a raindrop touched his face. He ran inside the house quickly. What did he really expect, anyway? Just then, he saw Kaede sleeping on the couch. So beautiful... He sat beside the other boy.
Rukawa is sleeping cozily on the sofa. His breathing is regular, an indication that he is, yet again, visiting his homeland, the dream land, once again. There is a teddy bear beside him, which he is hugging dearly. "How I wish that is me." Akira murmured to himself, referring to the stuffed toy.
He sat down at the other chair and slept, too, at the sight of Rukawa, wishing that he'll meet his 'friend' at his own dream land.
~+~+~+~
The rain had finally stopped. Akira yawned as he opened the windows. The sky is still dark. What is expected of it, anyway? He shrugged as he turned to his center of attention these days. To his surprise, the other one was also looking at him. "Did you see Fuyu?" Kaede asked. Akira gave him a large smile. "No. Why?" "I thought he was just here..." Akira smiled. "He's just around." He said in a carefree way.
Kaede frowned. In his dreams, he saw the cat out in the cold. Out in the cold... "He's outside." He muttered. Akira stared at the boy who is now standing up, walking his way to the door. Akira followed him.
Kaede stared up at the sky. It must have rained hard a while ago. Then, something black caught his eyes. There, at the top of the tree, is Fuyu. The poor kitten is wet, and shivering. It looks scared. "Fuyu, come down here." Kaede said as he outstretched his arms, signaling that he will catch the kitten. Fuyu didn't mind this, he is too afraid to jump.
Kaede sighed at the bottom of the tree. He climbed the tree, all the while he is being watched by the kitten. He reached for a nearby low branch. As he tried to step on it, he almost slipped. It was a good thing that he took hold of another branch. He continued to make his way on top of the slippery tree.
Akira held his breath. He saw that. Kaede almost fell off the tree. 'Bad kitten' he whispered under his breath. His eyes are still following the other, who is now currently near the kitten.
Kaede held at the tree branch tightly. Fuyu is just a few centimeters away. "Come now, Fuyu." He said. Fuyu stood up. Unfortunately, he looked down, and lost his balance. The poor kitten is now hanging on the twig for his dear life. Luckily for him, his master is always ready to help him. Kaede crawled to the kitten. But, as soon as he had grabbed Fuyu, the twig where they were broke.
Kaede held Fuyu tightly, feeling the cold air going against them as they fell off the tall tree. His dear life... once he makes contact to the ground, he'd either be on the morgue or on the ICU. He shut his eyes close as he felt something touch him...
Akira's eyes widened in panic as he saw the figure of his friend falling from the tree. For a moment, he can't seem to control his own body anymore. He didn't notice that he was already in position to catch Kaede. Kaede landed on his arms, and soon, he himself also lost his balance. The three of them, namely Fuyu, Kaede and Akira fell to the ground.
Kaede opened his eyes. He opened his eyes just to see an angel's face: Akira's face. For a moment, they stayed like that. Their blue eyes had turned to magnets, and their faces had turned to ripe tomatoes. That is, until Fuyu went out of Kaede's tight embrace, and went to the face of Akira. "Hey!"
And for a while, the Rukawa residence became noisy with frequent "meow's" and frequent "bang's", caused by a certain spiky haired with kitten fur all over his face.
Kaede stared at the duo for a moment. He sighed. He got up and fixed the tree twig. It was a good thing that Akira was there. If not, he might not be able to play basketball forever... He blushed as he recalled the scene a while ago. When he opened his eyes, he thought that he'll see a dark angel, ready to welcome him to hell. However, what he saw was an angel of light, Akira.
~+~+~+~
Midnight.
Kaede sneaked away from their house to attend the ceremonies. However, when he arrived, he didn't see even one single person. As he turned his back to sleep, he heard a voice calling him. "Kaede, come here." It was Touya. Kaede looked at the man who called him. "What?"
Touya stood up from the stone he was sitting on. "You already received your powers, and that means that it's almost uncontrollable. You can make people move, make rain stop, let the sun shine and other magnificent things without even knowing it. So far, did you feel this?"
Kaede's eyebrows met. 'So, that explains why Akira caught me a while ago? I controlled him accidentally?' He asked in his mind. "Yes, Kaede. And, you can also learn how to fly, how to read others minds and throw an energy ball at the right time, Kaede."
Kaede knitted his brows, and then suddenly turned to his dad. "You mean you can read my mind all through out these years?" his voice pitched up a bit. Touya nodded. Kaede glared at his dad. "Whatever happens, don't read my mind again!"
With that, he left Touya alone.
Touya stared at his son's back blankly. He knows this will happen. It's only normal, though, he had that same reaction when his father told that to him. He only revealed the first half of the dark secrets of the cult to his son. "Wonder if I tell him already that he's prohibited to love a Christian?" He wondered out loud while swaying his feet like a little child. "Oh, well, I bet that it will not make a difference."
~+~+~+~
Rain flowed down on the Earth once more, washing it as if it can wash away the real dirtiness of the world with it. Unfortunately, no. It was a fresh new morning. Not really fresh, but nevertheless, it is still a new morning.
"You know what; we really need to go to the grocery for today. Your fridge is literally empty." Akira said as he closed the fridge. Kaede shrugged, he's busy stroking his kitten. "You see, I'm new here on Shohoku, and I don't know where things are. Mind if you accompany me first? I promise that I'll go alone after this."
Kaede looked up from the kitten. "When will you go?" He asked to the older boy. Outside, he is so calm, but inside, he is very happy. "Maybe after the rain stops...?" Akira said as he smiled.
Kaede stood up and opened the widows. "The rain stopped already." He said. Deep inside, he knows that he stopped the rain. Wonder if he could make the other boy fall for him...?
A gentle nudge awakened him from his thoughts. "Hey! Let's go now!" Kaede nodded as he opened the door and locked it. Akira watched the other boy's lean back while Kaede bent to unlock his bike...
~+~+~+~
"Hey! Watch it, young man!"
"Mr. Zombie hits it off again, ne?"
"Did that boy just sleep while biking?"
"Ah! Hey... He's so cute!"
Akira tightened his grip to his companion. He hugged tighter to Kaede, if ever that is still possible, as they approached a sharp slope. Meanwhile, Kaede is enjoying it. This is such a show. With much pleasure, he pedaled faster... All the while causing Akira to hug him tighter.
Much to Akira's appreciation and much to Kaede's depression, they reached the mall. Akira joyfully hopped inside the store, and met Ayako with Miyagi. Miyagi saw them. "Hey! Rukawa and Sendoh! Over here!" Miyagi said as he waved his hand. Akira smiled as he approached the two people, who were the current new item of Shohoku.
Akira approached the two while Kaede got a cart. Ayako winked at Akira. "So, you're *with* him?" Ayako said while Akira blushed. "Hey! It's not like that! You see..." He was cut off when Kaede strolled along. "Wait!"
Ayako watched the back of the two as Akira tried to catch up with Rukawa.
~+~+~+~
(Back home...)
Poor Fuyu was left alone at the house. He tried to go to sleep, but it seems like his adrenaline rush is getting unto him. And so... the kitten ran all over the house. He had already bumped the paints, which was already scattered all over the kitchen floor. But still, the kitten still had the excess energy.
As he was running around, he saw a little door. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened it. There were two buttons, and there were five levers. The kitten stood there, with his head tilted on his right side. He pushed the second lever and closed it, then ran off.
The kitten yawned, and went back to sleep.
Right after that, his two masters arrived home, all dizzy and all wet from the very fast-paced ride. It's raining very hard outside. Kaede opened the lights through the switch. It didn't open. He clicked it once more. Still, the lights didn't open. It is still 11 am, but because of the rain, it looks like 7 pm already.
"Something's wrong. Do the neighbors have electricity?" He asked as he quitted pushing the switch. Akira went outside. "Well, it looks like the electricity company cut off the power." He said as he went back inside, seeking shelter. Indeed, it is, but naughty little Fuyu did something else.
"I'll get you clothes." He said. He can easily walk around the house even if it's dark because of the cult. However, Akira is wondering about the safety of his friend. Knowing how clumsy he drives his bike..?
Kaede went inside his room. He dressed himself up, and went inside Akira's room. He gasped. It's so messy. How is he supposed to identify the clean shirts from the dirty ones? As if to answer his question, Akira shouted from below. "The dirty ones are the ones on the floor. The clean ones are on the bed and the chair."
Kaede sweat dropped.
~+~+~+~
One hour had passed, but still, electricity was still off. Kaede and Akira are sitting on the couch, along with Fuyu, their little villain. After a few more minutes, there were shouts of glee from outside. Their neighbors already have electricity. The only house with no lights is the Rukawa residence.
"Hey! How come we don't have electricity?" Akira asked as he peaked outside. Kaede shrugged. "Maybe them main switch was moved." Kaede said as he got up. Akira followed Kaede as they made their way to the kitchen
Kaede eyed the kitchen carefully. It's such a mess. From the puddle of paint, there are paw prints, heading to the main switch, which was a feet from the ground. 'So, Fuyu was the one who made this mess.' He thought to himself as he stepped nearer the switch.
In this moment, Kaede realized that a black cat is really bad luck... or maybe not. Kaede still made his way to the switch, forgetting that his other companion can't see through the dark. Akira tried hard to listen to Kaede's footsteps.
When Kaede stopped, he stopped, too. But, as he stepped on the puddle of paint... "Whoa! Hey... Help!" He shouted as he was to lose his balance and slide because of the paint. Kaede looked back... and saw the other about to fall on top of him. Kaede was about to step back to avoid Akira, but little Fuyu was on his way. Akira fell on top of his companion.
Kaede blushed as hard as an... over-ripe tomato would do. He could feel the breathe of Akira, hear his heartbeat, and see how Akira is blushing. He is luckier, though, because Akira can not see that his face is as red as Sakuragi's hair. Even though, Akira could feel how Kaede is breathing, the loud thumping of Kaede's heartbeat.
Little Fuyu meowed.
~+~+~+~
There are just too many coincidences in the world. Too bad the bad luck has to happened at the same time.
The Rukawa residence finally has electricity. There are no noises that you can hear from the house, though, unlike the other houses which are filled with shouts of joy. Let's take a peek inside.
One boy can be seen washing clothes while the other one can be seen wiping away paints. They have every reason to be angry to their little kitten, but they are thinking on how really /lucky/ they are.
Kaede was in deep thought, though. Is the cult against the friendship of a cult member and a Christian. Sometimes, he's so tired. What is the point of waking up every midnight and chant to some devil? Why should he be a cult member anyway? There is a law that he can choose what religion he wants to be in.
Then, much to his surprise, a silhouette of a fox appeared in front of him. Kaede dropped the basket that he was holding. His eyes were wide with fear as the dark fox went nearer him. "No one can betray me... You can never get away from my grip. If anyone forces you to get away, he shall depart this life."
The dark fox disappeared in thin air as sudden as it appeared a while ago.

A/N: What do you think? I mean, it's pretty mushy. And oh, it's been a long time that I had last updated my other Slam dunk fanfic, lovesick camp, so I will work on the fourth chapter of that first.
You can expect me to update this after... *counting with her fingers* ten days. That is... if I don't run out of internet cards... :-) It's already vacation, so it's OK. I would not do anything else but this... so... Thank you for reading. I would very much appreciate it if you will leave a simple message for me...*winks*
Anyway, thank you for reading.
