Few hours later, in an inn,
Hakkai
is making medicine for the wounded girl. The inn housekeeper help the
boys changed Clover's torn clothes. Azumi doze of beside her bed, Gojyo
went out to get cigarettes and Sanzo is cleaning his gun. Goku in the
other hand is nowhere to be seen. Clover wakes up to find Azumi
sleeping by her bed and Sanzo cleaning his gun. She can't find Goku
anywhere in the room. The door creek open and Hakkai comes in with a
bowl of medicine (no I don't mean like those tablets of pills, there's
no such things as those at that time, its traditional Chinese medicine).
"Hakkai-san, where's Goku?"
He puts down the bowl beside her bed and is trying to spoon feed (I know this isn't the best word to use but hey, I'm so dizzy to think of other better words) her.
"He's out somewhere; he always did when one of us is injured."
Hakkai said. Sanzo got onto his feet muttering 'stupid monkey' and leave the room. Clover and Hakkai both giggle quietly.
"Why can't he just admit that he really cares for Goku?"
She asked. Hakkai shrugs (with a little grin on his face) and put the bowl closer to her mouth. Clover pushes Hakkai's hand gently.
"Arigatou, demou I can do this myself."
Clover said as she takes the bowl into her hands and drank the medicine.
"You are strong for a young girl. The demon's poison was venomous; no normal person could've recovered in such a brief time."
Clover chuckles weakly. Azumi open his eyes when he heard her laughed. But he decided to pretend that he's still sleeping to listen on what she will say.
"That's what I want people to think and expect from me. What happened back there reminds me when a baseball hit my head. My headache was killing me but I pretended that it didn't hurt in front of everyone, especially uncle Eriol."
Hakkai stares at Clover, puzzled.
"Uncle Eriol?"
He asked.
"Yes my uncle, but he insisted that I shouldn't call him that because he's only a year older than I am. He takes care of me after I moved to Japan. He is just this sweet and charming person I could've met…"
Her eyes are red tying to hold her tears.
"Clover-chan, I can see that you really care about your uncle."
He said, nonchalantly. Clover's twitch her lips.
"Hai, so desu."
She said, quietly.
"I think your love for him is more than just a niece's love."
Hakkai said. Clover wipes her eyes with her hands. Azumi frowns, he felt cold. She plays with her fingers.
"What do you mean by that, Hakkai-san?"
She said, trying to make herself sound clueless which she failed miserably. She knew very well that this man in front of her is Cho Hakkai, the character in this comic world who's suppose to be the most genius of all and able to see through almost anything. Hakkai stares at her, grinning. She just couldn't fight the charming smile he gave her. Azumi feels his heart beating faster.
"Alright, yes, I do care for him more than a niece's care for her uncle."
Azumi frowns, he couldn't believe it, and Clover had confessed that she loves Eriol. But he remains silent.
"But I don't think I'd do well with him because he will always think of me as his little niece. Besides, he already have Tomoyo-ne san."
She said sadly but yet quite gay.
"Tomoyo-ne san? Who is that?"
Asked the curious Hakkai. Clover takes her bowl and sips her medicine.
"Tomoyo-ne san is the most beautiful person I have met in my life. She is very gentle, mild, and sweet and a little naughty, she fits perfectly with uncle Eriol. I know very well that he adores her a lot, and she adores him too. Only that they didn't realize this and both of them don't want to confess to each other."
She explained.
"She sounds like a wonderful person. You really look up to her don't you?"
Clover nods. She moans weakly.
"I think you better rest. You just recovered from the poison. I suggest you to stay in bed until you're really well."
He tucks her in bed and kisses her on her forehead. Clover feel her cheeks turn really warm. Hakkai leave the room and closes the door gently. Azumi stares at Clover while desperately trying his best pretending to be asleep. He closes his eyes. He opens eyes only to find Clover staring back at him. He let out a small yelp.
"You were listening right?"
She asked. Azumi realize it's useless for him to hide under the blankets anymore.
"How did you know?"
"Azumi-kun, how long have I known you? Plus I felt your stares."
Azumi bit his lip.
"I never realize that your senses are that sharp."
"Well now you know."
She gets of from the bed and sits beside Azumi.
"Are you surprise?"
She stares straight in the eyes. Azumi close his eyes and sigh.
"Hai."
"Do you think it's really immoral of me, for liking my own uncle?"
She stares at him, trying to find the answers that she is seeking. Azumi sighs.
"No, your feelings are pure. How can something so pure be any close to immoral?"
Clover frowns. Her mind is full of uncertainties but what Azumi just said was so sweet she couldn't help but smile.
"Do you think that I can even measure up with Tomoyo-ne san?"
She bit her inner lip. Azumi stare at her with his curious look.
"There's no way right? She's perfect, in a scale of ten she'd probably get ten and I might get just five out of ten."
She sniffs and rubs her eyes. Azumi embraces her. She let herself drown in the warm embrace of her best friend.
"Arigatou, Azumi-kun, I'm lucky to have you as my friend."
Azumi feels something inside him throb. He feels bitter, but he couldn't quite put why he felt this way. First the confession, the questions and comparing herself with Tomoyo, no doubt Clover is very much in love with Eriol.
"I think you better do as Hakkai-san told you to. You need your rest. You've been through a lot today."
He said, breaking the embrace. She holds him tighter, not wanting to let go.
"Daijoubu desu ka?"
Azumi stare at her, confuse of her action. Clover burry her face on his broad chest and hug him tighter.
"Azumi-kun, do you mind hugging me like this until I fall asleep? You can let me go after I'm asleep."
He doesn't quite know what to say. But he hugs her back and rubs her back. He held on to her until the next morning.
To be continue
