A Voice

Chapter Tres

Megumi stared out the window praying silently that her voice would be back by tomorrow. She knew it would probably take longer, but who knows there are such thing as miracles…maybe…again who knows. "We're here." She heard Yahiro say. The brunette opened the car door and took a good long look at his house. Yahiro's house was more like a mansion; it was white on the outside and had big wooden doors leading inside. She saw a pool and garden behind the house. She could barely see it, but it a part of it showed. "What? Never seen a house this big?" Yahiro smirked. Megumi walked past him and up to the doors. "I just didn't expect you to be living in a place to large." Megumi held up the board. Yahiro ignored it and opened the doors.

Two maids greeted the two. Both bowed as they said, "Welcome home." He grabbed Megumi's wrist and pulled her up to a maid, "Take her to the guest room." The maid nodded, "Come, I will show you to the guest room." Megumi hesitated as she looked back at Yahiro. "Why aren't you coming?" Yahiro gave her a real smile this time, "Because I said I was going to take care of you, right?" She could only blush at his response. "He must be planning something…" Megumi thought skeptically, she glared at him before leaving.

Megumi followed the maid to the guest room. When she opened the doors, the room had a queen-sized bed with violet sheets. There was a large dresser and a mirror standing beside it. "Make yourself at home." The maid bowed once more, "Call if you need anything." Megumi nodded and jumped onto the bed, the maid left. Megumi noticed a remote control on the bedside table. She pressed the on button and a dresser, she had not noticed before, had the front panel doors open and a flat screen showed. "As expected of the Saiga family." She sweat dropped and began watching an opera on the Opera Channel.

While Megumi was relaxing to some opera, Yahiro was making tea for her. Usually he would not be doing such a task for another person, but he felt that he should at least do this for Megumi. He did feel bad for being a part of the cause she lost her voice. So he was making a simple herbal tea with some lemon, his mother had told him that was good for the throat when one has lost their voice.

The maids watched in the doorway as Yahiro made the tea. "Why is Yahiro-sama making tea?" A maid asked, "I don't know. Maybe it's for that girl that he brought with him." A second maid said. "That girl doesn't even talk, she uses a board to communicate. That's just weird." A third one stated. Yahiro his mother told him that when she had lost her voice, herbal tea with lemon is good for the throat. When the tea was done, he took both the kettle and a cup with a slice of lemon on a tray. As he passed by the doorway, he gave all the maids a look that said 'I'm going to fire you'. Each froze for a moment and then ran out of the area to clean or cook. They were just trying to get away from Yahiro's glare.

Yahiro knocked on the door to the guest's room. Immediately the door opened and Megumi gave him a curious look. "Yes I did make this." He walked into the room and put the tray down onto the bedside table. "What is it?" She wrote.

"Herbal tea with lemon." He replied.

"Thank you. But I still don't forgive you." She smiled, and then took a sip of the tea.

"I'm so hurt Megumi-chan." He frowned, sadness was clear in his tone, "How could you say such words t your beloved?" He sounded so dramatic, although he was faking the sadness in his tone. Megumi rolled her eyes and drank more tea.

"Why do you think I lost my voice?" She wrote with an annoyed face.

"Sakura didn't tell me." He lay down on his stomach, using his arms as a pillow.

"Because you kept making those 'beloved' jokes." She frowned, she felt like crying again. Yahiro noticed this.

"You are overly sensitive." Megumi quickly became annoyed. She began to write furiously to tell him to leave and she will never forgive him now, "But if it bothered you that much then I'm sorry." All the anger slipped away.

"So you won't make those jokes anymore?" Her mood brightened as she smiled.

"I didn't say that." Yahiro laughed mockingly. She should have expected this. She shrugged and wondered why she loved this man.

"Thank you for the tea."

"Anything else you want…or need." He asked hiding his blushing face.

"Sweets!" He looked up and sweat dropped, "Or some soup. Either one." She laughed softly. Yahiro got up from the bed to leave.

"Really, you should think of something to replace those sweets." She stuck her tongue out at him as a way of saying 'Never!'. He grabbed her tongue and she blushed a deep red. "You shouldn't do such childish things." He smirked at her blushing face. Before he had completely walked out of the room she put up the board.

"Don't do such embarrassing things." Yahiro looked back and chuckled.

"I'll do what I want." Nonetheless, Megumi's anger came back full force.


Within an hour, Megumi was bored and hungry. She heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, a maid with a tray that held a bowl of hot soup and a little bag with a ribbon tied on it greeted her. "The soup you requested, Megumi-san." Megumi took the tray from the maid and nodded in thanks. The maid bowed and left the room.

The brunette finished the entire bowl of soup in ten minutes. She then stared curiously at the cute little bag. "Hmm…I wonder what's in it." She untied the ribbon and a big smile was on her face. It was candy! Mainly chocolates and little lollipops, there was also a cookie at the bottom. Surprisingly the cookie was unharmed, but what the cookie made Megumi laugh. It was a cookie in the shape of an erase board saying, "Do you forgive me?" and a little smiley face at the end. As much as she wanted to eat all the sweets before her, she was full of soup and knew the consequences of eating many sweets after dinner. She put all the candies and the cookie back in the little bag. Taking a quick glance at the clock, she saw that it was 9:40pm; it was still early so she continued to watch the Opera Channel.


At Midnight…

Megumi was still watching the Opera Channel; it was very enjoyable for her. Yet she wanted to go to sleep, but she could not, she was used to sharing a bed with someone or at least falling asleep with someone else with her. Suddenly she felt her chest tighten, that lonely feeling had returned. It came back because she had not seen Yahiro since he came in with the tea and that feeling made her think of all her friends, how she felt like everyone was leaving her behind. This seemed almost true, because Kei and Hikari had gotten married a few years back. Ryuu and Finn were living together; Ryuu's visits were becoming scarce. Jun and Sakura were dating seriously now, and Jun told her he was going to propose soon. Akira and Tadashi were getting married in four days…Megumi's eyes widened. "Oh no! I completely forgot that they were getting married in four days! I'm supposed to sing at their wedding!" Megumi mentally screamed and sobbed silently. "How am I supposed to sing if I have no voice?!" She continued to sob silently.

Knock…Knock…

Megumi wiped her tears quickly and opened the door. It was Yahiro his face had a smirk at first, but quickly was replaced with worry. "What's wrong?" Megumi held up the board to, hiding her face behind it. Yahiro leaned against the doorway, "I should be asking you that same." He crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." She continued to hide behind the board.

"It's obvious you were crying, your eyes are still watery." He pushed the board down to show her face. "Why were you crying?"

"Because I just realized I have to sing for Akira and Tadashi in four days!" She began to cry silently again.

"You know your crying is both annoying and pointless." He smirked. Immediately Megumi stopped crying and became angry, "And that's supposed to make me feel better!"

"You stopped crying didn't you?" He smirked arrogantly. "Well you should go to sleep now, that's why I came in the first place." He waved goodnight and turned to go into his room. Which was all the way on the other side of the second floor, she watched him go to his room. As she watched the same question lingered in her mind, why did he care so much? "Go to sleep!" He turned at her and yelled when he had reached his door. Megumi jumped at the volume of his voice and ran into the room. As if he had planned this out, which he probably did, when Megumi pulled the sheets up get under them there was a pair of pajamas underneath them. She sweat dropped, "He did plan this."


At 3am…

Megumi tossed and turned in her bed. She really was dependant on someone else being there with her. If Megumi could not fall asleep then would this affect the recovery of her voice? She had to fall asleep! Shutting her eyes tight, she thought of things that would make one sleepy…

It was not working, she was tired, but she was not falling asleep! If only there was someone here, she could sleep with! The girl frowned when she realized that there was someone, Yahiro. Megumi felt her entire body heat up and her face turn red at the thought of sleeping in the same bed as Yahiro. She sighed, "But I have no choice if I want to get some sleep tonight." She picked up a pillow and tiptoed to his door.

The house was dark and it crept her out. When she was turning the corner to the hallway where Yahiro's room was she hit the banister on her hip. "Ouch, oh my god, what is that made of?!" She screamed in her head. Putting her pain aside, she made it to Yahiro's door with no extra injuries. Turning the knob as slowly as possible, but no matter how quiet she was it was as if he knew she was coming, "What do you want?" His voice made her jump a good three feet in the air. Luckily, she brought her erase board. Yahiro sat up and saw the white of the board, "You know I can't read that right?" The realization dawned on her and she sweat dropped, "I fail at communication at night." She thought. "I'm guessing you couldn't fall asleep." He sounded tired; she must have woken him up. He saw her nod. She walked further into the room, closing the door behind her. Yahiro pulled out a little flashlight from the bedside table, and pointed it at her now blank board. "Now, why are you here?" She wrote as fast as she could, "I couldn't fall asleep, 'cause I'm used to having someone else there with me." Yahiro sighed.

"So you came here, because there was no one else, right?" Megumi blushed and nodded. "You are so weird."

"So can I?" He moved over in the bed and quietly said, "Fine, but you should really get used to being alone." Megumi smiled brightly and crawled under the soft sheets.

It had been five minutes since Megumi came into his room and fell asleep in his bed. Yahiro takes longer to fall asleep, since had already been asleep it was taking a little longer than usual. Also Yahiro was laying on his back while Megumi had an arm around him in her sleep. "I guess this is a habit now…" Yahiro thought with a heavy sigh. Moonlight shone in through the windows, he could easily see her sleeping face. He gently moved a hair from her face, "She's cute when she sleeps." With that Yahiro turned on his side and put an arm around her, then fell asleep.
