Chapter 6 (January 2)
Akira rushed to the laundry room, just to find his friend staring at something invisible. Kaede's eyes are glued on the wall before him. It seems as if he saw a ghost before him. "Rukawa-kun?" Akira asked as he neared the younger boy. His steps are soft, as if afraid to disturb something. Kaede looked to the direction of the door, just to see his best friend. "Are you alright, Rukawa-kun?" Kaede nodded as he went off his daze. He went near the basket and collected the clothes scattered on the floor.
Akira is not contented with the answer, though. However, he shook his doubt off his head. He helped his friend gather the clothes scattered on the floor. Kaede decided to wash the clothes after having a glimpse of his best friend's room. Well, Akira is not the master of cleanliness and house keeping... but a growing lad should know how to fix his bed room, ne? Kaede decided to help his friend about the cleanliness matter.
Akira smiled at Kaede, which made the other blush. "Want me to help you?" Akira asked as picked the last of the clothes spilled clothes. Kaede did not utter a word, he is still busy thinking about the happening a while ago. The black fox... did the fox read his mind...?
Akira gazed at Kaede with genuine concern. The boy is still speechless. Wonder what was going on...? He suddenly found himself blushing.... Because of reasons that he himself does not know... However, he noticed the look on the other's face. It was of worry. Akira bets, if he can sell that picture to his, Kaede's, fans, he'll earn a million dollars.
Speaking of which, he went to the bank a while ago. The money in his bank account... they are all gone. Gone with the wind. His bastard father did that. He knows that they are now looking for him in Germany...
Kaede got the said laundry basket from Akira. He continued to wash the clothes as if nothing happened. Or... at least tried to wash as if nothing happened. Akira is still at a corner, watching Kaede as if he is to collapse or what.
So... he thought I collapsed a while ago? Kaede asked himself as he lifted a pair of dirty socks. Yeah... right! That's the last thing that will happen in front of his best buddy. It's like the do'aho proclaimed as a genius!
Kaede went to where Akira is. "I will not collapse or what. You better make your way to the kitchen and make something to eat." Kaede said as he emphasized the word /not/. Akira shrugged as he went back to the living room.
There, he saw Fuyu. Fuyu is sleeping with the soft rug. There, at the rug, is the picture of a place during winter. Hehe... winter, as in Fuyu. Fuyu did not budge a single muscle. It seems like he is too much enjoying himself.
Akira poked its side. He teased the cat. Because of that, the cat glared at him with the coldest cat glare on Earth. Akira chuckled. Familiar, ne?
As he continued to irritate the already annoyed kitten, Kaede got out of the laundry room. He glanced at the clock on the living room. 2:00 pm. He grumbled a little. He went on his way to his room to have a little nap.
He opened the door of his bed room and stretched a bit. He hates dark places and dark magic. How ironic at that, because he himself is darkness. How did he go there? Oh, the black fox apparition.
He shook it off his mind. He changed his clothes. They got wet with the washing. He doesn't know why, but every time he washes his clothes, he gets all wet. It's his personal problem, the carelessness. After he changed his clothes, he went near his bed to sleep. As he was about to get his most- loved nap, he glanced at the window. His face paled.
Nobody knows this, except his dad and Akira maybe, but the resident ice-kid is a neat freak. He'll easily freak out if ever he saw a piece of stain sticking out of his clothes. Or at least one of the pots in the backyard not aligned with the others.
The backyard is such a mess. Fuyu, the little criminal. That is what he should call that kitten. Not again, he had just finished fixing the paints on the kitchen and washing their clothes which got stained by the paint. And now, this!
That kitten, making another crime! He can not get angry with the kitten, at least it takes its piss and dump outside, not like Kenji's dog (A/N: Kenji Fujima). That dog pissed at Kenji's bed and all over his pillows and all... too bad for Kenji who had always loved sleep.
He looked at his adored bed and gave a beaten sigh. That cute little kitten is always making his mischief. He headed back downstairs, just to see Akira pouting at the little villain.
"Rukawa-kun?" Sendoh asked as he gave up on making Fuyu sit on his lap. Kaede stared at him for a millisecond and continued going to the back yard. Akira smiled as he gave Fuyu one last pat on the head. He then went to bug another person, much to the little kitten's relief.
Kaede ignored the spiky haired hedgehog following him. Akira followed him, though, until they reached the corner of the back yard of the Rukawa residence.
Kaede turned around. Akira is ready, as usual giving him the always ready trade mark Sendoh smile which he offers to everyone else. "What?" Kaede asked in an irritated tone. Akira counter-asked him. "What are you going to do? Maybe I can help you?" He asked as he neared Kaede. Kaede shrugged, hiding his blush, as he pointed the mess in the backyard.
Akira almost blinked out of seer surprise. Behind Rukawa is a mess that is too impossible to happen. The neatly packed garbage in the trash can is scattered, the twigs and dried leaves that Rukawa had oh-so-carefully raked yesterday was mixed with the unbelievable disarray that does not resemble the back yard that he knew. The two miniature plants, which his buddy calls bonsais, were, err... you know. Maybe black cats are really bad luck.
"Oh, let me help you." Akira said as he scratched his nape.
~+~+~+~+~
The back yard is already fixed, all thanks and praises to the two sweating creatures, a fox and a porcupine. Kaede sighed at the beautiful scenario in front of him. It is just like how it is yesterday. Well, aside from some things, but that can wait for tomorrow.
Kaede can see the little villain, Fuyu, at the corner of his eyes. He sighed at the sight of the kitten near the garden switch. He shrugged; the kitten will not probably make another trouble at the garden. And, besides he had already done his part. So, maybe he can just train the kitten how not to do any mess again...? Perhaps mental telepathy can work?
Akira watched his best friend work on the back yard. The back yard a while ago is very different from the back yard right now. His best friend can do real magic, ne?
Yeah, magic. It seems as though Kaede made him relax too much. He should not relax this much. So far as he knows his father, Tetsuya will look for him. He can not leave the country right now merit of his father. He knows that they, the organization, will find, and eventually kill, him. Then, his best friend will be running away with him. He frowned at the thought.
He retorted from the thought when he saw Kaede stand up from where he was kneeling. They had been fixing the mess of Fuyu, his great birthday gift. That Fuyu is always making a problem.
It was a surprise that Fuyu had adjusted to them that fast. He thought that they will go around chasing an afraid, petrified kitten around the house.
Well, that was the exact opposite. They, him and Kaede, the master, are the ones adjusting. It's very hard going around a house where there is a little kitten, a black villain-kitten to be specific, who always goes around messing things. Kaede is a very patient person. Speaking of which...
He turned to the person who was the object of his attention the past few days. Kaede is now staring at the master piece before them. There, right in front of them, are flowers arranged magically by the very hands of his beloved.
The violet orchids are now hanging at the cement wall, the petals all fresh from the cleaning. The bonsai is at the right place, not like the last time. The villain slash kitten named Fuyu pushed the two bonsais that made the cement containers shattered. The leaves, which were messed up like any thing on the area, are now on the trash can, and it is now at the proper position. The flowers had just been dampened, making them look very fresh, just like the hanging orchids. All the house plants are assembled to make it look just OK. The last golden rays of the sun added an effect to the scene.
Akira smiled to himself as he himself as he recalled the moments a while ago.
It was a hard time cleaning it. The afternoon sun drenched them with the sticky sweat covering them. Their throats clenched with unbearable thirst. However, the result paid them more than what they have given.
Oh, did I ever mention that I enjoyed it? Akira asked himself as he stifled a grin. Kaede's sticky, irritating sweat made him show the outline of his well-built bodies. The slim waist of Kaede along with his lean arms... And... Ah, damn. Stop it now, Akira!
The two of them stood up beside each other, not minding anything at all. They had worked under the heat of the sun the whole afternoon, and they deserve a good night's sleep.
In the switches sat an observant viewer. He sat near the corner of the back yard as he wagged his tail.
Well, Fuyu will just not give up his hunting skills, won't he? He raised his eyebrows at his two masters. He does not understand why his two masters should always stay that close. He shrugged.
Then, something caught his eyes. There are rows of silver thingies sticking out of the wall. They have three silver oval thingies sticking at its top. At its end, there is a little hole. He neared the things.
Out of the ten silver thingies like that, there is one that seems different. This different thing is, well, different. He wanted to touch it, being the curious kitten he is. But, his master might get angry.
He turned at them once again, only to see that his two masters are talking to each other softly. It's obvious that they have feelings for each other. Ch, cowards. He might just be a kitten, but he is intelligent.
They are still busy entertaining each other, so, maybe he could touch it while they are still, err, busy doing /stuffs/. He purred excitedly as he neared it.
~+~+~+~+~
Kaede wanted to /smile/. But, not with the presence of a certain hedgehog who, because of his certain cute antics, he had developed a crush on. His ice prince aura should always be present. He stretched as he yawned a little. He wanted to nap that afternoon, but the mess that had nagged him prevented him from taking his beloved slumber.
He pretends to stretch while he is looking at a certain someone through the glass of the window in front of him. Akira is smiling. However, the window at glass is not that clear. He can't see what the other one is smiling at. Lucky flower, he thought.
Just then, he heard a soft hissing sound. He was surprised: a snake at their backyard? He looked around for it, hoping to see none. He's in luck; there really isn't a single snake at the place.
Back to the switches...
Fuyu inspected each of the weird looking things sticking out of the wall. He clawed one, and a hissing sound started. Fuyu backed away, afraid of whatever it is. He looked back to wherever his two masters are, and saw that they are still standing still. He hid from them, he knows something might happen.
He was too late, though. Kaede saw Fuyu run back inside. He was about to run after the kitten when the hissing sound became louder. He turned to look for a possible source. And then...
His eyes widened as he realized what the hissing sound is. The sprinkler started to do its work, showering water over the plants, as well as Kaede and Akira. Kaede's reflexes did not save him this time, perhaps it was over- used. He slipped. And, of all people to fall on, it was the person behind him, namely Akira.
Fate is really a wonderful thing. It gives mystery and wonders that fascinates people. Now, Kaede is wondering why fate gave him this. He slipped because of his surprise and the muddy grass as well. In his fall, he fell on Akira and they both fell on the ground, both all wet and... tasty.
Akira is blushing as well as Kaede is. He can feel the other's breath. God, why do these things happen every time? Akira turned to the switches, to know who is the idiot who turned the damn sprinkler on, and saw his beloved present to his one and only beloved. Fuyu.
He got off Kaede and ran after the kitten. Fuyu screeched and ran inside the house.
Kaede ignored Akira; he's very used to the scenario. As he tried to get up, he felt pain in his right ankle. He winced at the pain. Akira seemed to see this. He approached Kaede as he watched with concern.
"Are you OK, Rukawa-kun?" Akira asked as he kneeled in front of his friend. Kaede did not respond to Akira, he stared at his foot. It seems like he got a sprain. A sprain, for Pete's sake! They got a basketball practice next week!
Akira bit his lower lip. "I think I got a sprain." Kaede said silently that it was almost unheard. Akira murmured "I'm sorry." Kaede looked up to Akira. "It's not your fault."
Akira smiled at Kaede. "Come, let me help you inside." Akira did not wait for a reply, he knows that Rukawa will decline any sort of help. Before Rukawa knew it, Akira is already carrying him inside.
Fuyu watched as Akira carried Kaede inside, the way the man in a white suit did to the girl wearing a weird flowing white gown. He followed them as they went inside the kitchen door.
Kaede is blushing as Akira carried him inside. "Drop me now, idiot!" Akira, being playful, just smiled and winked at Kaede. Kaede blushed more. "I said PUT ME DOWN!" Akira was surprised, he never heard Rukawa shout.
He smirked at Rukawa when they reached Kaede's bedroom. "OK, I'm putting you down." He said as he laid Rukawa on his bed. Kaede glared at Akira.
Akira went to Rukawa-san's bedroom and reached for the medicine cabinet. There are a bunch of bandages and everything else a doctor might need. He wondered what might be his job. Maybe a doctor? The Rukawas seem to be better off than most people are, although they are wealthier than the Rukawas. Of course, because it's illegal. And because it's illegal, he can't just get off the organization and...
He shrugged his thought off. He carried the unusually big first aid kit and went to Kaede's room. There, he saw a fuming mad Rukawa Kaede. Kaede glared at him. Akira smiled. "Now, let's nurse your sprain. Stop moving."
Kaede blushed as he saw Akira bandaging his right foot. Akira's slender fingers are working on his right foot. His fingers are so light, it seems like he had been used to doing these things to other people.
Fuyu curled up near the doorway. He sighed as he stared at the two masters of his who are currently inside. What's new, anyway? I mean, they always stick together without saying a single word. Weird.
With that thought in mind, he stretched and slept.
~+~+~+~+~+~
Kaede woke up. It's dark. He sighed as he stretched. Suddenly, he felt a familiar pain from his right foot. He cringed at the pain. Then, something caught his eyes. There, at the corner of his room sleeping soundly on his study table, is Akira.
Oh, yeah, he already remembered what happened. He got a sprain. And, how did he fall asleep? Yeah, Akira's soft fingers made him feel too comfortable that he had fallen asleep.
He sat up from his bed as he stretched. He also saw a blot of black near the door. Fuyu. That Fuyu... It really makes him wonder why he can't get angry at the little kitten. Maybe it's the fact that the kitten was given to him by a certain someone...?
He was surprised when somebody called his name. "Rukawa-kun? You're already awake after a century. There's another black out, I don't know why. I bet you're already hungry. Can you walk downstairs, or shall I carry you once more?" Akira said as he teased the other boy.
Kaede glared at him. He sat up from where his position was a while ago. He continued to glare at Akira. Akira sweat dropped.
"OK, fine! I'll just help you downstairs. Come, let me help you. And don't say no." Akira said as he winked at Kaede again, which made him blush. He was not given a time to reply. Akira got Kaede's left arm and placed it over his shoulders. Akira gripped on Rukawa's slim waist tightly that both of them can not help but blush.
"OK now, Rukawa-kun. Try to stand up on your left foot." Akira said as he smiled at the other. Kaede had to look away from the porcupine as he felt his ears burn. Nevertheless, he knew better than lie on the bed again. He stood up on his left foot.
Akira guided Kaede downstairs as they are about to eat their late dinner. As Akira sat down before Kaede, he smiled as he leaned closer. "I think we've been close enough. You know what?" He asked as the candles between them flickered lights on his face.
"What?" Kaede asked, feeling a little nervous. "You can call me Akira."

A/N: I saw another error of mine. I accidentally wrote Chapter 6 in the fifth chapter. Ehehe... sorry. *rubs the back of her head* you see, the prologue is considered the first chapter in my computer, so, this sixth chapter is considered the seventh chapter. Anyway... I ran out of internet cards once more. I had been asking you for donations! Joke.
And you know what more? My mom dragged me to the province for the holy week. That meant no computer. Wah! *cries* It's OK, I guess, it wasn't just my loss. My brother can't watch his favorite music video, "This love" by Maroon5. *giggles and then winks* I guess you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I don't own them. Another disclaimer.

Chapter 6 (January 2)
Akira rushed to the laundry room, just to find his friend staring at something invisible. Kaede's eyes are glued on the wall before him. It seems as if he saw a ghost before him. "Rukawa-kun?" Akira asked as he neared the younger boy. His steps are soft, as if afraid to disturb something. Kaede looked to the direction of the door, just to see his best friend. "Are you alright, Rukawa-kun?" Kaede nodded as he went off his daze. He went near the basket and collected the clothes scattered on the floor.

Akira gazed at Kaede with genuine concern. The boy is still speechless. Wonder what was going on...? He suddenly found himself blushing.... Because of reasons that he himself does not know... However, he noticed the look on the other's face. It was of worry. Akira bets, if he can sell that picture to his, Kaede's, fans, he'll earn a million dollars.
Speaking of which, he went to the bank a while ago. The money in his bank account... they are all gone. Gone with the wind. His bastard father did that. He knows that they are now looking for him in Germany...
Kaede got the said laundry basket from Akira. He continued to wash the clothes as if nothing happened. Or... at least tried to wash as if nothing happened. Akira is still at a corner, watching Kaede as if he is to collapse or what.
So... he thought I collapsed a while ago? Kaede asked himself as he lifted a pair of dirty socks. Yeah... right! That's the last thing that will happen in front of his best buddy. It's like the do'aho proclaimed as a genius!
Kaede went to where Akira is. "I will not collapse or what. You better make your way to the kitchen and make something to eat." Kaede said as he emphasized the word /not/. Akira shrugged as he went back to the living room.
There, he saw Fuyu. Fuyu is sleeping with the soft rug. There, at the rug, is the picture of a place during winter. Hehe... winter, as in Fuyu. Fuyu did not budge a single muscle. It seems like he is too much enjoying himself.
Akira poked its side. He teased the cat. Because of that, the cat glared at him with the coldest cat glare on Earth. Akira chuckled. Familiar, ne?

It's his personal problem, the carelessness. After he changed his clothes, he went near his bed to sleep. As he was about to get his most- loved nap, he glanced at the window. His face paled.
Nobody knows this, except his dad and Akira maybe, but the resident ice-kid is a neat freak. He'll easily freak out if ever he saw a piece of stain sticking out of his clothes. Or at least one of the pots in the backyard not aligned with the others.
The backyard is such a mess. Fuyu, the little criminal. That is what he should call that kitten. Not again, he had just finished fixing the paints on the kitchen and washing their clothes which got stained by the paint. And now, this!
That kitten, making another crime! He can not get angry with the kitten, at least it takes its piss and dump outside, not like Kenji's dog (A/N: Kenji Fujima). That dog pissed at Kenji's bed and all over his pillows and all... too bad for Kenji who had always loved sleep.
He looked at his adored bed and gave a beaten sigh. That cute little kitten is always making his mischief. He headed back downstairs, just to see Akira pouting at the little villain.
"Rukawa-kun?" Sendoh asked as he gave up on making Fuyu sit on his lap. Kaede stared at him for a millisecond and continued going to the back yard. Akira smiled as he gave Fuyu one last pat on the head. He then went to bug another person, much to the little kitten's relief.
Kaede ignored the spiky haired hedgehog following him. Akira followed him, though, until they reached the corner of the back yard of the Rukawa residence.
Kaede turned around. Akira is ready, as usual giving him the always ready trade mark Sendoh smile which he offers to everyone else. "What?" Kaede asked in an irritated tone. Akira counter-asked him. "What are you going to do? Maybe I can help you?" He asked as he neared Kaede. Kaede shrugged, hiding his blush, as he pointed the mess in the backyard.
Akira almost blinked out of seer surprise. Behind Rukawa is a mess that is too impossible to happen. The neatly packed garbage in the trash can is scattered, the twigs and dried leaves that Rukawa had oh-so-carefully raked yesterday was mixed with the unbelievable disarray that does not resemble the back yard that he knew. The two miniature plants, which his buddy calls bonsais, were, err... you know. Maybe black cats are really bad luck.
"Oh, let me help you." Akira said as he scratched his nape.

Kaede woke up. It's dark. He sighed as he stretched. Suddenly, he felt a familiar pain from his right foot. He cringed at the pain. Then, something caught his eyes. There, at the corner of his room sleeping soundly on his study table, is Akira.
Oh, yeah, he already remembered what happened. He got a sprain. And, how did he fall asleep? Yeah, Akira's soft fingers made him feel too comfortable that he had fallen asleep.
He sat up from his bed as he stretched. He also saw a blot of black near the door. Fuyu. That Fuyu... It really makes him wonder why he can't get angry at the little kitten. Maybe it's the fact that the kitten was given to him by a certain someone...?
He was surprised when somebody called his name. "Rukawa-kun? You're already awake after a century. There's another black out, I don't know why. I bet you're already hungry. Can you walk downstairs, or shall I carry you once more?" Akira said as he teased the other boy.
Kaede glared at him. He sat up from where his position was a while ago. He continued to glare at Akira. Akira sweat dropped.
"OK, fine! I'll just help you downstairs. Come, let me help you. And don't say no." Akira said as he winked at Kaede again, which made him blush. He was not given a time to reply. Akira got Kaede's left arm and placed it over his shoulders. Akira gripped on Rukawa's slim waist tightly that both of them can not help but blush.
"OK now, Rukawa-kun. Try to stand up on your left foot." Akira said as he smiled at the other. Kaede had to look away from the porcupine as he felt his ears burn. Nevertheless, he knew better than lie on the bed again. He stood up on his left foot.
Akira guided Kaede downstairs as they are about to eat their late dinner. As Akira sat down before Kaede, he smiled as he leaned closer. "I think we've been close enough. You know what?" He asked as the candles between them flickered lights on his face.
"What?" Kaede asked, feeling a little nervous. "You can call me Akira."

A/N: I saw another error of mine. I accidentally wrote Chapter 6 in the fifth chapter. Ehehe... sorry. *rubs the back of her head* you see, the prologue is considered the first chapter in my computer, so, this sixth chapter is considered the seventh chapter. Anyway... I ran out of internet cards once more. I had been asking you for donations! Joke.
And you know what more? My mom dragged me to the province for the holy week. That meant no computer. Wah! *cries* It's OK, I guess, it wasn't just my loss. My brother can't watch his favorite music video, "This love" by Maroon5. *giggles and then winks* I guess you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I don't own them. Another disclaimer.
