Chapter 5

"Don't worry kitty, you will be warm in there... unlike me, who is always receiving hot and cold treatment. I don't even know whether I can bear with it any longer... I need Fujima... he's the only one I can go to now. I can't even go back to my family... I cannot let them see my wounds. Only Fujima can now... "

-----

Fujima put on the jacket that Sendoh had gave to him when they're in love. Not that I am not now... I wonder how he is now... he's so soft... and all the torturing Koshino is giving him... he would be better off with me... at least I will not do what Koshino had done to him.

Just as he was about to open to door, the doorbell rang. He opened the door, expecting Koshino bragging about how successful he was tricking Sendoh again..

"Sendoh!" Fujima open the door wider and as Sendoh limped in, Fujima felt weird and almost angry. Did Koshino do this to him... ? If he did... I swear that I am going to...

"Kenji... " Sendoh looked at Fujima as he sat down on the sofa. Sendoh then put his medicine on the coffee table.

Fujima closed the door and took off his jacket and hung it on the back of the door. Then, a meow came from Sendoh's pocket. Sendoh let out an 'Oh!' before carefully taking the tiny kitten out of his pocket and placed it on his lap.

"I hope that you don't mind because I picked up this kitten on the streets and decided that you would be its owner. Actually... I hoped that you would also be my owner." Sendoh lowered his head and rubbed the kitten's tummy.

Fujima sat down beside him and took off Sendoh's jacket and put it on the armrest of the sofa. He stroked the kitten, which is still on Sendoh's lap. As he stroke, his hands touched Sendoh's and every touch makes his heart skipped a little.

"Koshino told you to leave?" Fujima asked as he walked to the kitchen to pour some milk on a plate for the kitten.

"It's not him... I wanted to leave... I left him a letter. I wonder if he'll see it with Fukuda in our... his bedroom." Sendoh continued stroking the kitten.

"Fukuda?" Fujima walked over with the plate of milk and put it on the coffee table.

Sendoh then put the kitten on the table and focus on Fujima. The kitten ran towards the plate of milk, stepping on several buttons of the remote control on its way resulting the distraction coming from the television, and started licking the milk.

"What is Fukuda doing there?" Fujima held Sendoh's hand and played with his fingers.

"I don't know... and I don't think I want to know. Can I stay here for the time being? Please... ?" Sendoh pleaded.

"Of course you can. You can stay for as long as you want to. You can even stay here forever... and your hands are so cold. Here, I'll give you warmth." Fujima took both Sendoh's hands and put it into his shirt.

Sendoh logically leaned into his arms and let Fujima cuddle him. He closed his eyes while Fujima patted his back, coaxing him to sleep.

-----

"Stop it! Let me go!"

"No! Never! You are not going up there! It's so big out there where do you think you can find him? And even if you did, do you think you can stay with him forever?"

"I... I just wanted to see how he is now... so let go of my hair you stupid kitsune! My hair will be all gone if you don't let go!"

Rukawa gave a hard tug at Hanamichi's hair and reached out for his left hand and pulled him back. When Hanamichi was near him, he gave Rukawa a head butt and pulled away from him after Rukawa passed out.

He expected Rukawa to scold him after that but nothing came. He swam nearer towards Rukawa, who was lying motionlessly on the rock that they were fighting on.

"Kaede? Um... I didn't really knock you out did I?" He poked the ' tickle-phobic' Rukawa in the tummy a few times and realized that Rukawa really was knocked out.

"Papa! Papa! Help! I knocked Kaede out! Papa! Papa! PAPA WHERE ARE YOU?" Sakuragi' s hollering caused the surrounding few houses to shake.

-----

Somewhere about six houses away, Maki's table trembled and his meal of seaweed with sauce fell from the table. He looked up and sighed, shaking his head. It must be Hanamichi again. That little brat, how many times must he be told not to yell in water.

Maki got up and went outside and in search of his son.
