Chapter 6 Coming around
Yay Chapter 6. This story defintly isin't going to be a yaoi now. Might not have time to write chapters very often, gomei.
Shiori looked up. Her deep brown eyes looked in to Eiji's blue ones.
"A-are you joking or something?" Shiori whispered.
"No. I witnessed his death, Shiori. I waited outside the surgery room, praying he'd make it. Please, believe me." Eiji managed to convince her.
Shiori wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Eiji, whispering her thanks in his ear. Eiji returned the hug, blushing. But suddenly, Shiori let go and looked serious. Motherly concern filled her face, and Eiji tried not to laugh while thinking of the all-too familiar face.
"Why did you run away? What are you doing here in Kanagawa if you live in Tokyo?"Shiori demanded.
"…." Eiji didn't have an answer. What was he doing here?
"I think you should go home. Your family is worried and so are your friends. The Seishun team needs you." Shiori smiled.
Eiji smiled back. Suddenly, his pocket began to vibrate. He pulled out his phone and saw a text message, written from Fuji. Guilt filled his heart, as he read the message.
Eiji. If you are reading this, then you know that I am looking for you. Come back. Everybody is worried. Don't worry. Noone is mad.
There was a happy face and then Fuji's name. Eiji looked up at Shiori and said,
"I'm going home."
Fuji waited all night for a certain call to arrive. It wasn't like him to be this anxious. Fuji was asleep when he heard snoring in his room. He looked up and found Eiji lying on the ground, in a deep slumber. Fuji chuckled as he got up to cover Eiji with a blanket. Fuji stared at the sleeping Eiji, happy to have his friend back. But the genius knew that it was still too early to find out whether Eiji was really back to normal.
Eiji woke up, and by the way the sun shone in to the room, he knew that it was probably late afternoon. He walked out of the room and down the stairs. Seeing Fuji sitting at the kitchen table was all it took for Eiji to burst in to tears and run to hug his friend. Fuji cried with Eiji and hugged Eiji tighter than ever. The two stood like that for quite some time before releasing each other. Eiji stared in to Fuji's wise eyes and knew that he was forgiven. And so Eiji decided that he could forgive Fuji as well.
"I'm glad you're back, Eiji." Fuji wiped away the last of his tears.
"Nya, I'm glad I'm home. Ano, there's someone I want you to meet. I told her to meet me at the burger place in…" Eiji glanced at his watch. "Shimata…I told her to meet us there in 5 minutes!" Eiji ran out the door, not waiting for Fuji to catch up.
Fuji smiled at his friends retreating back. Impulsive as always, Fuji thought. He walked after Eiji and in a few minutes, arrived outside of the local burger joint. But what he wasn't anticipating was the entire Seigaku tennis team outside, waiting. Fuji could see that they had made a circle around what seemed to be a girl, around Fuji's age. Momo made her laugh and Taka-san politley shook her hand. Ryoma merely looked at her. Fuji managed to squeeze himself in to the circle and as he did, he found himself face to face with the girl. Instantly, Syuusuke saw the resemblance between Shuichiro and this girl.
"Hi. You must be Fuji-sama. My name is Shiori ." Shiori introduced herself.
"Yes, I am Fuji. Please, don't be so formal." Fuji told her.
"Nya, are we just gonna stay out here or can we go inside and eat?" Eiji stuck out his lower lip in a ridiculous pout. Shiori giggled.
As Fuji went inside, he saw a smile on everybodies face. And he could see why. Eiji had come around and was back to normal.
Nope, it's not the end! One more chapter and that's it! Yay! Eiji's back to normal! I'm so glad. But…I wrote this story…I should be thanking me…
