We are sitting on the roof of Subaru and Ryoki's Anime store. Sitting on the bare cement, he has his arm around me, holding me as if I will fly away from him if he doesn't.
"Where do you live?" He whispers into my ear. Shivers run down my back.
"I'll write down my address for you later." I would now, but the sunset is so beautiful, and just being here, is so amazingly perfect...
"You going to tell me why the hell you left?"
"It's because...when I left I found something out." Ya, what the hell am I saying? I found someone out. I found out Mizuku was going to be born, and my life would change forever.
"What?" He demands. I look into his eyes, and I can't form the words. What if he denies her? What if he hates her? I would be broken if he did.
Subaru's voice calls out from behind us. "Ryoki, sorry to interrupt, but your mom's at the door demanding to see you."
Ryoki's eyes don't leave mine. "Tell her I'm busy right now, and if she won't leave call security."
"Isn't that kind of harsh?" I don't know why, but I wouldn't deny my own mother. But then my mother's not a Tachibana.
"No, last time I slammed the door in her face." He says shrugging. "She'll call my phone tonight begging to talk with me. Its getting pathetic."
I stare at him, my same Ryoki. My Ryoki...
"I think," He says softly, "You're trying to keep us from talking about you. Now what.."
"Let's go to my house and talk." I say softly. He helps me onto my feet, and I can't help but stare at him as he leads me out back.
Ryoki tells me to stay, and I wait patiently as he disappears into the back door. He returns on a red motorcycle, and hands me a helmet.
"Tell me your address." He says as I climb on behind him. I tell him calmly, and he revs the engine a few times then we go.
We walk into my apartment. I stare at the mess I left in my rush to the store. I open my mouth to apologize, but he speaks first.
"Goddamn matchbox." He says looking around. I give a small smile.
"It's not that small." I say putting down my purse, suddenly my phone rings. Ryoki picks it up, and puts it to his ear. All these years, and he still has no regard for people's things.
"Who the hell is Mizuku?" He says into the phone obviously confused. I pull the phone from him and put it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"You have him in your apartment! No wonder you had Mizu stay at my house." Akane snickers on the line.
"It's not like that. Put her on the phone." I say giggling. Ryoki is staring at me like I'm stupid. I probably am...
"Hi Mama! Guess what, I'm dressed like Kagome!" Mizuku yells into the phone.
"That's nice, don't stay up late alright. I'll pick you up tomorrow. I have to go. Night."
I look up, and Ryoki is on the couch, staring at the picture. Our picture.
I sit down beside him, and put my head on his shoulder. He suddenly puts his arms around me and pulls me to him, kissing me.
How long had it been since I've felt this?
We continue this way for a while, lost in each other, when he sits up and mutters something about protection.
Too late for that Tachibana.
I wake up on the couch, and look next to me at Ryoki. His arm is wrapped around me, and I can't help but giggle as I see my top and my skirt on the ceiling fan.
"Hatsu?" He whispers. I look at him and nod.
"Ya, I'm right here." I whisper pushing some hair out of his eyes. He sits up and stares at me.
"What?"
"Nothing." He says stretching. I stand up and pull my clothes from the fan. I go into the bedroom, and throw on a t-shirt and some jeans. I feel so happy, and energized. I want to scream out that I love Ryoki Tachibana, but I manage to hold back.
"Who the hell is that?" I hear Ryoki call out from the living room. I go to him and find him staring at a picture of Mizuku.
"My...um...our..." I don't think he can hear me, I can't speak right. He gives me a 'give-me-a-damn-answer' look.
"Daughter." I say louder then I wanted to. His eyes widen, and he throws on his shirt. I can tell he's confused, angry. But at least he knows...I mean I'm sure he heard me say our...
SMACK! I feel his hand slam against my skin, and my skin burns. I collapse onto my knees and I watch as he pulls on his jeans and storms out of my apartment.
"She's our daughter Ryoki." I say to the empty apartment. Tears spring from my eyes and I pull my knees to my chin and cry.
"Hatsumi! You alone in there?" Akane's cheery voice calls from outside the door. I wipe away my tears and stand up weakly. Akane opens the door, and stares at me wide eyed.
"What's wrong?" Her smile turns into a sad look. Mizuku walks in behind her, and I turn away from them.
"Mizuku baby, can you please go into your room a while? I have to talk to Auntie Akane." I manage. I hear her patter into our room, then my sister puts a hand on my shoulder.
"What's wrong? Did he...did he hurt you? Is he mad about Mizu?"
I shake my head. "I...oh Akane, it was just that he...I told him I had a daughter and I don't think he heard me say it was ours...he thinks I'm a slut and he.."
Akane puts a hand softly on my cheek. "He hit you."
"It's okay I just...he'll never talk to me again. I don't know what I'll..do..." I wipe away more tears.
"I'll go talk with Subaru and find out where Ryoki went alright. You just...keep things together and talk with Mizuku." I watch as she picks up her purse she had dropped, and leaves.
