As I got up that moring, I smelt something that seemed so forign to my nose: breakfast. The cook that we hired wasn't there during the morning, so we went with commoner's cereal every day before Mitsukuni and I left for school. I got up out of bedroom and got dressed before going downstairs to the kitchen, to see who could posibbly be cooking at that hour.
And there I saw none other then Mitsukuni making eggs and sausages. Mitsukuni felt my precense as he turned his head to me and smiled
"Morning Takashi! I'm making a American breakfast! Isn't that cool?" he said before turning back to the food that was cooking.
"I never knew you could cook." I said and Mitsukuni nodded
"Yeah, I've been able to cook for a long time now; I was taught by the maids that work around here actually. They're kind women that taught me how to cook, clean, and everything. I wonder why the maids don't cook anything in the morning then..." Mitsukuni said and I shrugged my shoulders. After Mitsukuni and I ate some American sausage, eggs, and toast, we were on our way to school. As we walked, I looked up at the sky, seeing that the clouds were finally coming in. I then wondered if we were finally getting into fall. Then as we walked into school, boys had there jackets on, ladies had long sleeves under there long sleeved yellow dresses. Soon getting to our first period class, I was determined not to look at Mitsukuni for the time we were taking notes. My determination utterly failed, I kept staring at Mitsukuni all day still, and I wondered why I seemed to do it, and I thought about how it could be because I really like Mitsukuni, and soon I was just daydreaming about Mitsukuni and I being together. My right hand was effortlessly writing notes down while my mind was in a different place.
As soon as first period ended that day, we went back to the abandoned classroom again. Still, none of the janitors decided to come here and clean up the place. Maybe I should have told the administrator about that, but I never did.
"Look, Takashi, we can't keep her as she is without her at least being adopted to another powerful family, and we can't keep her here unless you'll marry her years later. You sure you want to keep her?" My father asked, and I nodded. The girl that we had brought home that day felt different from any person I'd met, rich and poor. I really wanted to see her again after that day, so I made dad promise me that we'd keep her with us, but I had to have sacrafices to give myself, but I don't mind them even now.
"So what's you're name?" the girl asked me. I turned around, walked to her, and said
"Morinoduka Takashi." I said, my voice as quiet as it has been for as long as people said I was.
"My name is Haninozuka Mitsukuni. Nice to meet you..." Mitsukuni was freezing, and father noted this too.
"Here, Mitsukuni-hime, lets get you to your room and get you feeling better before you freeze to death, shall we?" Father said, grabbing some maids, telling a few of them to clean up an unused bedroom, which would soon be Mitsukuni's room, and assigned the other set of maids to clean Mitsukuni, while father and I went off to get dresses for Mitsukuni to wear.
When we came back an hour later, Mitsukuni had just been done with bathing, and father gave the maids a light blue dress for Mitsukuni to wear, and the maids scurried to the bathroom, where Mitsukuni waited.
"You know, you're very lucky that I'm keeping her here; this could be a bad reputaion towards us for taking her in... could be well for us, but I don't see that as likely. But you must keep up your promise, and Mitsukuni still has to be adopted. So. Please take care of her as politely and as gentlemen like as you can, understand?" Father said in polite tone, and I nodded
"Good. Now I have to get back to work. I don't think Mitsukuni needs much else except for you to show her to her room. You know that old guest room that we never use? The maids should be done cleaning it by now, you can show her the room, and when I'm done, tell me if she likes it." Father said then opening the front door, and closing it behind him.
As I stood there after father had just gave me a small speech, I thought I heard a familiar voice, and a pair of footsteps running towards me
"Takashi!!" Mitsukuni said as "she" then tackle hugged me to the ground
"Thank you so much, Takashi!" Mitsukuni then kissed my cheek, then got up off of me
"So what do you want to do now, Takashi?"
As Mitsukuni went back to sit down on the chair, I then looked and thought I saw what looked like Mitsukuni, spinning in the chair in a bride's dress, so beautiful, and then I realized it and snapped myself out of it. If it was my choice, Mitsukuni would be also wearing a tuxedo, so then why was I dreaming about him in a dress? Why was I even dreaming about Mitsukuni and I being together-- that alone is a sin to my family. It would disgrace them if they ever found out about our little secret. It'd waste how my father put Mitsukuni with a "respectable, honorable family" instead of the one he had previously had, it being with just himself as an orphan. If Mitsukuni hadn't had his family changed, I wouldn't have been able to have married Mitsukuni without the public eye getting suspicious.
I then snapped out of it and saw Mitsukuni was still spinning in the office chair, which was a relief. But maybe Mitsukuni would have felt something odd about my reactions lately. I then took a step towards the chair, two steps, three steps. Until I got to the chair. I then, though, stopped Mitsukuni from spinning in the chair, I made sure that Mitsukuni had no time to wonder why as I kissed his lips, and he kissed me back. The feeling then was so great, I could have just bursted. But then, after a few minutes of us kissing, the bell rang, and off to our next class we went.
When we came home that day, I was feeling exausted. I then laid in my bed, Mitsukuni wondering why I was laying down. I never got the chance to tell Mitsukuni that I was tired for the second half of school, unfortunately. So then, Mitsukuni asked no more questions. While I was laying down, Mitsukuni then made sure the blankets were around me and I was feeling snug, the pillows were soft enough, and that I was confortable. When all those things had been accomplished, Mitsukuni kissed me on the cheek and said
"Good Night." before leaving and closing the door behind him. I smiled. He was really a nice guy for all of my life, even nicer then the usual girl I'd find at the school, but he had a lot of women-like features for himself, and had learned a few feminine-like habits added to his list of things to do everyday. I didn't mind it, it would be just like having a wife, right? Inside me, I knew why it'd be different. Because I knew that Mitsukuni was a male, and that Mitsukuni sometimes had his own way of dealing things in some cases, having an equal mix of masculine and feminine type thinking. And I realized that Mitsukuni actually had two different point of views: One of the man Mitsukuni, and one of the woman Mitsukuni. Balancing out each other and overall he is indeed the best communicator I've ever met. Maybe one day Mitsukuni could be a psycologist, if he really wanted to. I was still going into kendo buisness, but then before I could think of anything else, I drifted off into my new dreamland of Mitsukuni.
When I got up hours later, I saw it was only just the sun setting in what would probably be about an hour before the sun completely set, then I remembered I forgot to practice kendo that day. I then got in my kendo uniform, and went outside as fast as I could, then when I got there, I caught Mitsukuni out of the corner of my eye, also kendo training. Then, Mitsukuni turned around to me and waved
"Takashi! I didn't know you were awake! Want to practice with me?" Mitsukuni asked, and I just nodded. I knew Mitsukuni was going to be defeated, he'd never really praticed kendo in his life, except for that day... or lat least I thought that was the case. So, Mitsukuni and I got into posistion, and we fought, I was going to go easy on Mitsukuni, but he was indefinetly quick-- and almost accurate. I would have gotten hit easily if I wasn't quick enough. 'Why had Mitsukuni been so good?' I thought as I fought Mitsukuni, but reluctant to give the fight my best in trying to defeat Mitsukuni. I then thought about if Mitsukuni had maybe taken an online class on how to do kendo. But while I was thinking this, he hit me about three times before I realizd he did, and Mitsukuni giggled
"You didn't think I was that good, did you? I actually come out here all the time and practice when you're doing homework." Mitsukuni and I took off our men, the masks we used in the kendo fight,and Mitsukuni smiled
"So how good was I, Takashi?" Mitsukuni asked me as we then went to the house, Mitsukuni talking about dinner, and I wanting to just be around Mitsukuni for as much as I could.
A/N Ok guys, I've gotten comments on everyone's actions in the story, and if it wasn't completely spelled out to you in this chapter, then I'll go ahead and list off the reasons why Mori's family, Mori, and Hunny are doing these things so far.
1) "Gay Marrige" is a taboo in modern Japan, and Mori's family definetly wouldn't like it, because then there would be a major amount of gossip about them and the family buisness might not go so well...so Mitsukuni has to conceal the fact that he's a guy so that Takashi and Mitsukuni can get married succesfully... I hope this makes sense to everyone, that even in Japan, gay marrige is still a taboo, but it's not illegal
2) The reason why Mitsukuni was adopted was because Mori's family needed to have Takashi married to a "wealthy woman" which if Mitsukuni was adopted into a rich family and married Mori, then Mori would be married to a person of a powerful family would be all set. I had Mitsukuni be adopted into Takashi's uncle's family because I couldn't think of anything else better at the time.
Also, men is the masks used in kendo fighting... ... ...
I hope this makes more sense to everybody now! I hope I get more reviews telling me if they're confused... or even what part everyone liked. That could even inspire me to create chapters that are like the scenes.... so there you go, your reason for reviewing and leaving me comments I want so badly. XDD
