Un conte des êtres celestrial [A Tale of Celestrial Beings]
Chapter 3
By Fuji. S. Yuki
'You can't deny us.' The voice whispered into Syusuke's ear, 'You can't ignore your duties.' The soft fingers tangle into his hair making him shiver at the touch. He didn't understand what the voice wanted from him, he didn't understand what it meant. 'You do understand.'How did it know what he was thinking? It was rather different; it was almost like a violation of his privacy he didn't like that. 'We are one. There is no violations you just forgotten what we are.' It still didn't make any sense, what was it that the voice meant that he forgotten what they were. He wasn't able to forget much he was after all a prodigy; his mind never let him forget much.
'It's not time for you to remember all, but it draws near.' The voice whispered quietly almost thoughtful. 'He is waiting for you to awaken. He is waiting for us to remember.' Subtle hints, faint traces of impulsive answers, and yet assertive and confident, while not telling him the answer he sought. It was almost like another part of him the part of him that he uses sometimes to annoy the hell out of people around him. Especially the stoic captain name Tezuka, he knew that inwardly it made the other insane and rather short temper.
There weren't many that could do that, 'Be careful.' Again the voice was telling him things, he didn't get why he had to be careful around Tezuka. 'You'll see.'
Finding nothing else to say Syusuke felt himself drawn away from the world of dreams. Waking up he looked around tiredly, his throat hurt slightly, getting up he felt the world sway a bit, his shoulder blades hurt a lot more now then before. Stumbling he quickly took a shower gulping down some of the painkillers and getting dressed. He made his way toward school. After saying good-bye to his sister, whom was looking at him suspiciously even though the smile on his face was normal.
When Fuji arrived at school he felt his body ach, however he felt that thing should be fine. He didn't want his sister to worry about him this much. However, that wasn't his only reason to why he wanted to come to school, he wanted to at least catch a few glances of boy wonder. He wanted to see if the character Chamuel that he had written about was really Ryoma. Certainly Chamuel was a young slender man, Ryoma was still a child and hadn't really developed to his full ability.
Arriving at school he walked into school, set his shoes, and switches them for the indoor shoes. Ignoring half of the love letters that spilled out of his box, he wasn't really in a mood to deal with adolescent fan girls of his. Certainly, he enjoys the suffering they feel whenever they cannot catch his attention, but it didn't necessary mean he would like to hurt their feelings at the slightest lease.
Passing by a couple of students he didn't really notice his name being said until a pair of hands grabbed him and spun him around. "Fuji." Glancing up he stare into brown eyes hidden behind glass, Tezuka of course wasn't amused that he had to chase Fuji to get him to stop walking. Let alone the boy plainly ignore him when he was calling his name.
Of course, this was all wrong in his assumption. One glance at Fuji and he knew that the boy wasn't ignoring him let alone playing around with him. The smile was still on place of the slender boy, but his cheeks were shaded with redness and his breathing seems a bit harsh. Quickly he brushed his hands on Fuji's forehead noting that it was hot and feverish. "Baka." He whispered as he dragged Fuji toward the infirmary. "You have a fever."
"Aa…I was wondering why things seem a bit hot." Fuji mentioned in amusement.
"Being sick isn't a joking matter Fuji." The stern captain stated as he open the door and push Fuji in. Glancing around Tezuka notice that the nurse and the doctor wasn't in. Sighing inwardly he made Fuji lay down in the cot and wrapped place blankets around him. "I'll find some aspirin to help you with the fever, and here is some water drink it."
Wordlessly Fuji took it and sipped wondering why Tezuka was being so concerned. Before he thought that the captain couldn't even, stand him for short periods. However, then he thought of Tennis and it made sense in a way. Tezuka care about the team therefore since he was part of the team Tezuka would want him to be well enough to perform. It was expected of course. Waking up slightly to notice that Tezuka was back, "The doctor won't be in until later, here is some aspirin. I found Oishi and he told your teacher that your sick and in the nurse's office. I also called your sister."
"Un…Arigato Tezuka." Fuji whispered slightly grateful, and yet dreading the explosive lecture he would get from his sister.
Tezuka instead of leaving sat down beside Fuji, surprising the Tensai normally he thought that since Tezuka had finished his duty he would now leave. Guess this meant that the captain hadn't finish what he wanted to say to him.
The silence was so thick that one could cut it with a knife and have it for dinner. Until almost like a quick zip of thunder Tezuka replied, "I'm sorry."
Surprise and confusion evident on the slender boys face, "Eh?"
"For yesterday." Recognition slowly crept into Fuji's face and the smile once again was up on his face.
"Sa sa, it is only expected Tezuka. Your concerned for Echizen." Fuji shrugged his shoulder a bit, "You want what is best for him, but you aren't him Tezuka."
"I know."
Fuji could see the uncertainty on the captains face. He also knew why exactly Tezuka was behaving this way; he was half way in love with boy wonder. Freezing almost in contemplation at the acceptance of that fact and the ironic twist that this had with the tale he had written. Then again Tezuka did have a slight resembles to Sadriel, only his emotions were more sealed up. This was a more human Sadriel one that was raised differently, it was expected in a way that if Sadriel was reborn he would be like Tezuka. Why was he thinking like this? Shaking his head he leaned back tiredly, perhaps the fever indeed had fried his brain while he wasn't looking. "Ne Tezuka."
"Nnnnn?"
"You and Echizen are almost similar." Earning a slight startled expression on Tezuka's face, shifting a bit he slid on his side to rest his cheek against the pillow. His eyes close now for sleep, "Though you both aren't the same." He mumbles softly that the Captain had to lean in closer just to catch the last few words. "I like you both the way you are…almost like back then…"
Sleep had taken Syusuke to the land of rest.
Tezuka stared at the young slender boy, mesmerized by how different he looked asleep. His eyes shifted until they rested on the frail hand that lay near his face, he was pretty. Tezuka acknowledge that, and he was annoying, however to Tezuka the real face of a person without the masks on was when they were asleep.
What he saw on Fuji's face was someone young, kind, and caring, without the masks on place the stress lines of all the smiles he did was smoothed away. He knew that this was a gift from the younger boy to him. A gift of trust, to let him watch him sleep, and in a way he felt blessed. The soft resentment he felt was washing away, and the faint words of 'I like you both the way you are…' made him felt wanted and understood.
If only Tezuka knew the up coming drama that would end up turning his and the lives of the people he knew upside down. If only he knew, that change was coming not just for him, but perhaps even for the world.
Standing up he slid the curtain around to block anyone's view of the sleeping boy. Fuji liked his privacy and he in turn would respect that. He then left letting the other recover until his sister arrived to take him home.
~*~*~*~*~
Ryoma was unhappy. It was a statement he arrived on the courts hoping to see if Tezuka or Fuji would be there to play against him. He had gotten so use to standing next to the young petite boy and the stoic captain, and now both of his targets were gone.
It was frustrating. He wanted to play against them, however when Oishi announced that Fuji was sick, it brought concerns to Kawamura, and the regulars. Since they had never thought, that anyone like Fuji would have submitted to the common cold.
However, like usual Ryoma thought that they all were idiots. Fuji wasn't a God, he was human like them, he had flaws and he could fall ill just like the rest of them. It was stupid that they thought he was invincible just like Tezuka. Speaking of Tezuka there he was he appeared in his jersey standing at the fence, his eyes trailed over everyone, then stopped to stare at him.
Ryoma wonder what exactly he did to earn that slight nod from Tezuka. However, taking it all in stride he just shrugged and walked on with his tennis racket. Even though he felt uncomfortable without Fuji near him for just a second he adapted.
Turning a bit Ryoma sense someone looking at him, he turned and looked out of the tennis court toward the parking lot. He saw a red car parked there a lady with long curly hair was helping Fuji inside the car. Almost like a time clock, Fuji looked out of the window and stared at him his eyes opened.
Ryoma didn't understand the burning sensation he felt when he stare into those eyes from such a far expansion. Yet, those eyes seem to convey something to him, almost requesting for something. He felt his heart leap into his throat pounding until the blood in his veins boiled. A part of him inside seems to leap wanting to go to Fuji to make sure he was all right. It was terribly odd since Ryoma never was one to pay attention that much to others. Surely he care, but he never felt such unnecessary urges to go to another. Except maybe for that time he felt a bit worried for Momo when he was beaten by Tezuka. However, that was very different, the boy did take care of him and found his cat for him. He had a certain soft spot for the dunk smash tennis player.
The feelings right now that boy wonder felt was different from what he felt about Momo. Moreover, a part of him was scared shitless. It wasn't common for him he was usually good at pretending he was dense and disinterested, but to show interest in the common welfare couple with wants and needs wasn't something that boy wonder experienced.
Watching the car he notice that Fuji place his hand on the window almost as if to reach out to him. He didn't understand why he did the same placing his hand against the fence. The car by now was out of his sight, fisting his hand on the metal Ryoma calm himself and pressed his forehead onto the wires. Perhaps he was catching something too. Maybe he was sick, for the jumbo feelings inside him seem to scream at him to go to leave. To find Fuji and perhaps…and that was where he drew a blank. He didn't know what he was supposed to do.
He didn't understand the wants of his body, for goodness sakes, he was only 13 years old. Even though he had a perverted father didn't really mean he knew anything else outside of tennis. Except for maybe the exception of his cat Karupin, English, and video games.
"Echizen!" Tezuka's voice called to him sternly. The Captain watched as the younger boy jumped around to look at him started. The unnamed emotion in those golden orbs with confusion made the stoic boy pause in telling the boy to run 15 laps around the courts. Almost before he could change his mind like the lighting of a traffic signal, Tezuka whispered quietly for the boys ears only. "He should be fine, don't worry."
Speechless Ryoma stared at his Captain silently for some sort of confirmation, seeing none he nodded his head and walked away deciding to play a game against some unfortunate individual.
Tezuka knew he knew that look that passed between both Ryoma and Fuji. A look that only should be given to those that is in love. The heated glances, the need, the tension, the want, however this type of look on a 13 let alone a 14 year old was wrong. They weren't suppose to be this quickly developed and yet, Tezuka was being detached in his logic. It was one of his flaws he knew, however old habits die-hard.
Inwardly he felt the ache inside himself for wanting those feelings too. Tezuka wasn't one to acknowledge that he was perhaps 99% homosexual one might say that he was still in denial of his sexuality.
Those that did were probably right. Even though Tezuka had feelings toward Ryoma, he also had feelings for Fuji. He never could figure out what they were because like was noted he was still in denial.
Fuji a tensai wasn't in denial. Being born a genius meant that he had to develop really quickly to hold up masks to protect himself, and to well consume and learn everything that one his age shouldn't be learning. Normally kids his age should be playing video games, or even doing hobbies, Fuji wasn't exactly like them. He had books on physical dimensions to philosophical issues in realities of mind. He also had a couple of books regarding human sexuality and the development of homosexuals.
Therefore, he pretty much knew the signs the evidence that he probably wasn't exactly fully heterosexual. He was accepting for that was the way he was he let facts; let admittance flood over him like water. Surely, at first, he would have denied it, but after a couple of minutes, he started to observe and take note and agree with it.
Tezuka was the opposite one could say that being born in a traditional family meant denial of some aspects of self. Even though there are exceptions in some traditional families not all were accepting.
Walking forward, he notices the worry look on Kawamura and Oishi's faces. It was expected of course Kawamura had some soft feelings when it came to Fuji, and well Oishi was the worrying mother hen of Seigaku. Shaking his head he wonder if things aren't going to be the same until Fuji came back to at least torment everyone. He was sure this would end up earning laps for everyone in the couple of weeks to come.
~*~*~*~*~
At the Fuji, residences Yumiko had lay her brother to rest, noticing that he was running a fever. Worrying she brought out some of her herbs that she kept to help for a fever and started to mix it up into a form of tea. Her eyes slid to the clock wondering how long it would take Yuuta to get back home, but remembering that he said it would take a day to excuse himself from school.
When she was finished she returned into Syusuke room, the light of his lamp was turned on and his blinders drawn up. Her little brother was lay flat on his stomach his face turned to the side so that he could pant and breath. It was strange to say the least and he was moaning slightly in pain. "Syusuke I brought some tea for you."
Sapphire eyes glinted in the light signaling consciousness; he slid up into a sitting position swaying a bit. "Arigato." He whispered hoarsely. Handing him the cup she watch him sip the tea, his face was sweating, and he seem to be unfocused about many things. "Nee-san it hurts."
Surprised that Fuji would admit anything hurt at all she mumbles softly in question. "What hurts Syusuke?"
"My back." Pain sapphire eyes rose to look at her pleading to stop the hurting, "It won't stop hurting, I took pain killers but it won't stop."
Yumiko took the cup out of the pale callous hands and motion for Syusuke to remove his shirt and to lay down on his stomach. He complied immediately; her fingers gently smooth over the back. Noticing that scars were appearing here and there faint and silvery and the points where his shoulder blades were located at ugly red welts were forming bulging upward like sacks. Startled she looked at Syusuke then back at the bruised area's, "I'll be right back." Yet, only reply she got was a moan of pain from her brother.
Hurrying she dialed a phone number the sound of it being answered. "This is Fuji Yuuta."
"Yuuta." She hastily said in panic.
Yuuta felt startled at the panic voice of his sister, "Nee-san? What is wrong?"
"I need you to get back here as soon as you can Yuuta." Yumiko walked around with the cordless phone in her hand, she was rummaging through the kitchen trying to find some large pot to hold cold water. Finally finding one, she filled it up, and headed to look for towels.
"Alright I'll be there are soon as I can."
Yumiko place the phone on the counter, she waltz to grab some towels from the bathroom and headed back to pick up the pot. Quickly she ran back to the room trying not to spill the water on the floor. Taking out some ropes, she tied Syusuke's arms and legs to the bedposts, so that he may not end up hurting himself. From what she could tell that whatever was inside those sacks were getting ready to rupture outward.
Gently she bathed the bruise tender area with the cold water, hoping that it would help with the pain. The ringing of the door bell made her pause unsettled and worried, since she knew that it would take Yuuta close to one hour to get to their home. Seeing the letter opener, she grabbed it and tucked it into her pocket. Then just as quickly she waltzes to the living room to answer the door. Opening it she smiled brightly, "Ah Kawamura-kun what are you doing here?"
Instantly recognizing the Sushi owner's son that Syusuke had visited a couple of time for wasabi sushi, immediately Taka-san flushed at the welcoming smile, "Anou…I was wonder if Fujiko is alright?"
Yumiko smiled, "Hai he is just resting," her smile was a bit strained since she was anxious to get back to her brother. "I am sorry, but he is quite contagious and it isn't wise to get near him at this time."
"Aa…it's okay. I just came over to check up on him, and deliver his favorite wasabi sushi." Taka-san mentioned shyly.
"I am sure he will enjoy them when he is better, " Yumiko reach out to take the package, but then a scream of pain made her turn to look at the room. Her eyes widen and she quickly look at Takashi he was already halfway in the door, the package dropped from his hand.
Hissing a silent curse Yumiko close the door and lock it, she then ran to her brother's room. The door was wide open and Takashi was standing in shock at the sight of his friend tied up with bruises and scars on his back. A knife flashed and pressed against his neck, "I am afraid we can't let you leave since you know our secret."
"What have you done to him?" Kawamura asked clearly confused and angry.
Yumiko pressed the tip more, "I've done nothing, he was this way, we are trying to help him. For goodness sakes I am his sister, I love my brother."
"Nee-san!" Syusuke cried out in pain, his body bucking as the sound of his screams of pain and whimpers came. Sapphire eyes were open in pain, "Make it stop onegai!"
Distressed over her brother's pain Yumiko lower the letter opener and quickly rush to her brother, in a panic quickly she drew out a towel and wrapped it around her hand and pressed it into Fuji's face. "Bite on it!"
Only thing Syusuke could do was comply he bit as hard as he could onto what was offer to him, he blinding pain was too much and he felt like he would pass out anytime soon if it didn't stop.
Kawamura just stood frozen at the sight it was so strange, almost like from one of those scientific or fantasy movies. The growths on Fuji's back seem to grow more as sounds of tearing was heard of flesh, and these bloody dark bones seem to stretch outward and upward. They were cover with muscles and tissue with blood, it was painful for him to watch and yet all he could do was stare.
Syusuke screamed while he grinded his teeth on the towel and hand of his sister. His body arched upward as the bones stretched outward into wings, but all that was on it was blood and strings of some form of mucous. Then Syusuke blacked out at the end of his journey.
Yumiko felt the lessening pain on her hand, and slid it out from her brother's mouth, unwrapping the towel, she saw the bloody imprint of where her brother had bitten so hard that it left teeth marks. Quickly she walks to the bathroom and fetched some Neosporin and splatters it onto her hand, and quickly place bandages around efficiently.
"What just happened?" Kawamura finally asked clearly feeling disbelief at what just happened.
Yumiko stare at him grimly, "A gift happened." In addition, with that she gotten out the water and started to cleanse the blood off her brother's newly acquired wings. "Don't stand there." She muttered tersely, "If you're his friend I suggest you to help."
Unsure as to what to do he move closer and look at the wings, "What do I do?"
"We have to help clean him up, I am not sure to this sort of thing, this is new for me, but I do know that if we don't get rid of the blood it will stain and I doubt that Syusuke likes being dirty." Handing Takashi a towel and gesture to the water bucket, they both started to clean the unconscious boy.
It took close to two hours for Kawamura and Yumiko to finish cleaning the wings. They had to use a couple of toothbrushes to clean the feathers that seem to appear after the coating of blood had been washed off. After they were done, the black wings were presented in their eyes. The jiggling of keys was heard as the door slam shut indicating that someone had came home.
"Nee-san?" Yuuta's voice came loud and clear.
"In here Yuuta!" Yumiko called out, her eyes were tired just like Kawamura.
The brown hair boy walked in and pause spotting Kawamura, his sister, and his Aniki now with wings. "What happened here?"
Yumiko gesture for her brother to be quiet, "Kawamura-kun, Yuuta lets go to the kitchen and I'll make us something to drink. I think we have to talk, especially Kawamura-kun needs to know."
"But…" Yuuta began but was silence at the cutting glance his sister gave him.
Therefore, Kawamura was lead with Yuuta to the kitchen where Yumiko told filled in Yuuta on what happened. Then she informed Kawamura about the history of the Fuji family. Yuuta of course was silence during the whole thing, but he was still puzzled over his brother's new accessory.
"So in your family you have individual that grow wings?" Taka-san asked clearly wondering how anything of this was connected.
"Actually no." Yumiko mentioned quietly, "This is the first occurrence, but then again Syusuke wasn't really Syusuke when he was born."
"What you mean Nee-san?" Yuuta asked quietly.
Yumiko sipped her tea, calming herself, "It's a long story I am afraid, and I think Syusuke needs to be here to hear it."
Yuuta noticing the distracted look at his sister then turned his attention to Kawamura, "Kawamura-san you're not going to tell anyone are you about us and Aniki are you?"
Kawamura shook his head, "No I won't." Sighing slightly, "If I did it would hurt your family and I'll be betraying Fujiko." His eyes soften a bit, "I don't like hurting others, and besides if I did tell others I doubt they would believe me."
The Fuji siblings felt relieved. Yumiko smiles a bit, "It is good that Syusuke has a friend like you Kawamura-kun."
"Indeed it is a good thing for me to have a friend like Taka-san." All three pairs of eyes turned to where the voice came, Syusuke was leaning against the wall for balance, his wings were spread and his eyes were tired with fatigue.
The burning tennis player quickly gotten to his feet to help Syusuke to sit down, "What are you doing up Fujiko?"
"Syusuke." Yumiko bitten out upset, "Your suppose to be resting after what you've gone through."
Yuuta was silent his silver eyes were skimming over his Aniki noting that he was without a shirt and his black wings were behind him. They were huge he noted and it was probably painful like his sister indicated for him to go through what he had gone through.
"Iie, I should be fine now." Syusuke close his eyes and smiled slightly, though it was strained, "Arigato Taka-san."
"Don't push yourself so much Fujiko." Taka-san mentioned worried about his friend.
Syusuke shook his head slightly, "It's alright, I couldn't rest, and I want to know. Why I have these, ne Yumiko-neesan you know don't you?"
Yumiko laugh softly, "You and Yuuta were always impatient boys, but alright then I'll tell you." Noticing that Kawamura took off his jacket to cover her brother's chest in order to ward off the chill, indeed the young man that was her brother's friend was caring. To bad that his love wouldn't be returned in the way, he wanted, since her brother was in love with another.
Yuuta of course chose to be silent through all of this, he wanted to know of course, but he didn't want to agitate things anymore then they were already at even though many individuals knew that he was rather brash and loud and had a disliking for his brother. They didn't really realize that Yuuta love his brother very much. Even though sometimes Syusuke took his teasing to the extreme and sometimes, Yuuta would give a pretty penny just to strangle his Aniki.
"It started when you were born Syusuke." Yumiko began, her tale, "I was about five at that time. I already possess certain talents or gifts to see things. Our father knew about our traits we would display, however our mother never would. Our father had the power to do what Yuuta does, seal ghosts, or even evil spirits. He was good at it, one could say that he could have been a Miko, but he was born a male." Shrugging her shoulder she flipped her curly hair to the side, "When he was young he was trained by a master a priest and therefore he past on the technique to me, even though my powers aren't as strong as Yuuta's I can still seal and cast."
Kawamura tilted his head slightly puzzled, "What exactly does casting and sealing mean?"
"Well sealing is forming something like a pentagon or even some form of weaving spell to shut away evil spirits. Casting could be due with anything like rain, or even protection spells, which reminds me Yuuta I need you to recast some barriers and protection spells around the house. However, it depends on several of levels, it can keep away people, keep away any signs of spiritual energies in individuals to other ranges."
Yuuta nods his head; "I'll do it after we talk."
Syusuke closes his eyes slightly the sapphire still glinted a bit lazily at them. "Sa sa…"
"Well to continue on, when Syusuke was born I could tell he was different, he had a different sort of energy surrounding him. Before when he was in mother's tummy, he had it surrounding him, but when he was born it was more evident." Yumiko smiled, "I knew he would be different." She took another sip of her tea, "When Mama and Papa brought Syusuke home we had a cradle set up for him already. I snuck in one night to see him, and that was when I saw a man standing beside the cradle, he had black feather wings. He wore a odd form of uniform and his eyes were sapphire." Her eyes swung to Syusuke, "He looked older then what you look like now Syusuke."
Silence prevailed in the room, "That isn't possible." Yuuta mentioned, "How can Aniki be in that room when you were a kid Nee-san?"
"Hush Yuuta." Syusuke wave his hand to silence his brother, his eyes attentive on the light clear ocean blue of his sisters eyes. Yuuta wanted to yell at his brother, but the look of seriousness and something else on his Aniki's face, silence him immediately.
"It was you, but a older you Syusuke." Yumiko lean back into her chair, "Of course I wasn't scared, I just wanted to know what that man was doing to my baby brother. So, I tried casting a spell on him, but it didn't work it just past through him, and then he turned and smiled, calling me Miko-neesan." Hands trembling a bit, "Then he flickered to show a smaller baby my little brother, a symbol was glowing on his forehead, and then he was back again to that older man."
"What did I want from you?" Syusuke asked quietly.
Yumiko laughs softly, "A hug, you wanted a hug from me so I went up to him and hugged him and then the world vanished I was in this place. This beautiful place and there were two young man one was Syusuke the other was this boy with golden eyes." Her voice lowers a bit, "Of course I didn't know who he was yet, I hadn't a clue but as I grew up older, and you told me of your friends and show me pictures that you took. I knew."
Sapphire eyes glazed over in memory, Kawamura was a bit quiet wondering if he was intruding in a private secret that he shouldn't have any knowledge of, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Your story that you wrote Syusuke told me a lot, that you were beginning to slowly remember, what your other self was, what happened, and that now your awakening. Oh at first I thought you would have awaken like me and Yuuta early and young, but you didn't." Yumiko admitted slyly, "But it all worked out alright in a way, and when I drew out the card of change, I was wondering why it had to happen after all these years."
Yuuta pause then blurted out. "So what happened Nee-san? You and Aniki knows but I don't exactly understand."
Kawamura shifted a bit wanting to silence Yuuta for he felt it wasn't right to interrupt this tense atmosphere.
Syusuke laughs softly and shakes his hair, "Gomen ne you two." Feeling a slight strength, he shifted a bit, "It is all becoming more clear for me why all of this happened."
"Yuuta, Kawamura-kun Fuji's soul isn't like ours. When I was young, he show me what happened his story, to let me know that he meant no harm, that he did indeed love me as his sister. For he was reborn as someone different, and that he wanted a regular life away from what he went through. The older Syusuke never reappeared after that he disappeared after he showed me everything to his falling from heaven with his other. He didn't start awaken until Mada Mada-kun appeared."
Kawamura frowns, "Mada Mada-kun…" trailing off, "Echizen?"
"Wait your kidding me Echizen Ryoma and Aniki?" Yuuta glance back and forth from his siblings in astonishment then at Syusuke, "Your gay?"
A pause then both of his siblings and Kawamura started to laugh, all the tension in the air disperse quickly. It was a way to let go of all this grim secrets what was revealed and so on so forth.
By the end when everything was clarified Kawamura was let go to head home. He knew the secret of his best friend and his family, he also knew that when he got home his father would give him a lecture on being late. However it was all worth it, he ended up helping his friend and in turn was let into a world that was totally different, and yet was going to rock individuals lives.
Yuuta of course had started to place up wards and cast some spells here and there. After a chat with sister, he knew that the new developments in his Aniki's life would draw the attentions of others. So in order to protect his Aniki he would go to the length to make sure he was safe until he had enough strength to look after himself. It felt good being Fuji Yuuta, he was himself now, he was in his element and he could do the one thing his brother couldn't. Which made him feel good for he was now standing at the side of his sibling, yet this didn't mean that he would stop playing tennis with his brother. Let alone that he won't be competitive, he still had a goal and that would be to defeat his brother.
Yumiko was busy of course making phone calls to her work, talking to them and arranging new times for her schedule. Fuji was of course in his room sleeping, and regaining his strength after his ordeal. He had given Kawamura his homework in hopes that he could turn it in to the teacher for him, since he missed class, and might not be in until he figures out how to at least whisk away his wings. It wouldn't be good going to class with wings. It would pose a problem when he sat let alone brush past people. It also would earn him a couple of questions from his teachers, and his classmates that was a big no-no. He didn't want to draw more attention to himself, and if he did, goodness knows that people would try to butt into his personal life.
Then again he had other matters to worry about, one was if he was revived did that meant trouble for those around him? Morning Star would still be on the look out for him. Sadriel had sworn that he would kill him, and that would pose a problem, since he didn't really know what happen to the Orderly Archangel.
He was out of the loop, he admitted slightly to himself. 'We are out of the loop you mean.' The small voice of his self whispered, he knew that it wouldn't go away. It was evident that it would be staying with him until he regain his full self and reintegrated it into his current self the one that was Fuji. Indeed this did pose a few problems, since he didn't necessary know what to do with the voice let alone how to upgrade himself so that it would be gone. 'Well that was a interesting way of putting what I am.'
Not to mention it was rather annoying, it was better when he was sleeping and it interrupted, now that it was pure daylight and he was awake it was still harping him. 'Whoever said that you're awake?'
