Chapter nine: Separation
"Kazuki-kun!' Kaori yelled, "Let's play a game!" she eagerly pulled on the boy's arm, urging him to get up. However, Kazuki sat there in deep thought. No matter how many times Auntie Nobu reassured him, he didn't believe a single word.
He knew his mother was crying. He had seen her once. She began to cry silently in the kitchen, when she thought that she was alone. He stood near the door watching her. She cried differently he could say. Unlike he and his brother who cried as loud as they can, she cried silently as she possibly could. She covered her face from the world, as opposed to them who showed their teary faces. She stood there shaking, trying her hardest to compose herself, only to give out small gasps. He didn't like her crying. She didn't seem like the mommy he loved when she was. So from then on, he made sure she wouldn't cry again.
He failed. She cried thousands of times after that incident. However all those times were when she thought no one was there to see her cry. This time, everyone was there to see her. And he wanted to know why. Why was she crying? Did father make her cry?
"Kazuki," he was stopped from his train of thought by his younger brother. Tenshi stood in front of him, his eyebrows knitted with concern, "mommy was crying." he stated.
Kaori bit her lip. Even she got a wind that something was wrong. But unlike the boys she chose to ignore it. Something bad was going on. Her attempts to cover the obvious were futile. Auntie Risa was crying. Why though?
Kazuki could only nod at his brother. Tenshi brushed the hair out of his eyes and took a seat in front of him, "Why?" he questioned.
"I don't know." he answered honestly. It was the truth though. He didn't know. None of them did. But..he wanted to know. He wanted to know now.
"Kazuki-kun," Kaori piped up. Kazuki looked at her and she continued, "I know what we could do."
--LINE--BREAK--
Risa let out a small gasp. She had curled herself in bed, and hid under the covers. She felt slightly better in the dark. It covered all the bad things in life. The things she clearly didn't want to see. Things she never wanted to see.
"Risa," she heard Nobu speak. She could hear the door open and close but did nothing. She didn't want to see them. "Risa please," Nobu continued.
Risa pushed the covers out of her face. She could barely make out Nobu and Chiharu's faces through her teary, blurry eyes.
"Oh Risa," Nobu sighed taking out a handkerchief, "stop crying please." she let Risa wipe her eyes and look up at them. Her nearly broke at the sight. She looked so hopless. So lost. So broken. Oh Risa...
It only fueled her anger towards the person that caused her pain. She was on the verge of hating him. However she couldn't truly hate him. For so many reasons, yet his actions disgusted and disappointed her. Otani couldn't have sunk lower.
Risa sniffed and piped up, "Wh-where are the kids?" Her voice was soft and cracked. It didn't sound like the Risa they knew at all.
'They're safe," Chiharu assured, sitting down on her left side. Nobu sat on her right. Risa nodded and looked at her lap. Somehow she felt like she failed so much. She couldn't ever look at her best friends.
Perhaps she felt ashamed but beneath she seethed with jealousy. She was jealous. They had what she wanted. They had a tight family. Love. Happiness. No fucking husband that has an affair with a damn whore!
The door opened once again, and they looked up to see Seiko running in. "Koizumi-senpai!" she yelled running to her. Risa found herself wrapped in a tight hug, and she had to admit. She did feel a wee bit better.
"Seiko, what are you doing here?" Nobu asked. Seiko pulled back and gave a weak smile, "I heard what happened from darling and rushed out of work."
Risa let out a sigh. Yet another blow. She felt better that Seiko would do that for her but she felt bitterness and jealously once again. Even Seiko had a good relationship. With Haruka too! They were a perfect couple. They were happy together. And you forget that Seiko is a boy anyway. Even he/she could hold a relationship, and she couldn't. Was she that pathetic? She was such a failure.
Before she knew it, the tears came back and she broke into a sob. Why did it have to be her? Why did it have to happen to her? Why is it always her?! Why couldn't it be someone else for once!? No matter how cruel of a wish it was, she just wished that her friends would experience that same thing. Yet she didn't wish for it. She just wanted them to feel the same pain she felt, just a bit. Perhaps it was self-pity, but right now, she didn't give a damn. Just for once, can it just happen to someone else??
--LINE--BREAK--
Otani let out a small groan. He had untangled himself from the woman's sleeping clutches and sat on the edge of the bed. That feeling was back. It was wrapping securely around him and was holding him tightly.
He turned back to the woman he had been screwing around with. She seemed like an ordinary woman at first glance. She was plain. But she did have a sexy side. A seductive side. Perhaps he had fallen for that side.
He quickly studied her. She had a curvy body, which didn't exactly seem real to him. He was sure she had spent a good fortune of her money to get those curves. Her curly brown hair with extensions curled around her body. Her face almost rough looking because of the obscene amount of make up she wears. She was a fake. And yet he fell for her?
He honestly didn't know how he did. He didn't like fakes. Hadn't he stated that before? No matter how much he says she isn't a fake, she is. He could never really believe she wasn't. Everything about her screamed slut. Fake. Slut. Slut! SLUT! Why did he fall for her?
Maybe...that's just why. Maybe he had fallen for that side, that made her seem perfect. He had fallen for someone that seemed perfect. Seemed being the word that is. She did seem perfect at work. Hard-working. Fun. Pretty. But she went to an extent to make herself perfect. Didn't he say that imperfections were the best. Because they make who you are. That was why he fell for Risa right? Her imperfections made her unique. And he loved that about her. He let out another sigh. Life didn't make sense anymore.
The movement he gave woke her. She looked up at him with her big brown eyes, "Otani?" she whispered. He looked down at her before laying back down again. She wiggled herself closer and asked, "What happened?"
Otani sighed and turned to face her, "They found out." he could fell Haruhi move the bangs out of his eyes. "Oh?" she said, "What are you expect next?" she seemed cool about the situation. No doubt rather happy.
"A divorce," he answered honestly. His stomach wrenched at the words. He didn't want a divorce. But he couldn't stop it could he?
"Hmm?" she purred in his ear, "Then stay with me."
