Chapter 05

He sat in the hallway for about half an hour. Occasionally walking up and down to the vending machine to get some sugar. He had to calm down, but he couldn't. that's why he jumped when he felt his pocket vibrate for the second time that day. He reached for it and with clumsy fingers opened his cell phone.

"Moshi moshi?".

"Marui-senpei!". Kirihara's voice shouted through the speaker. "Yukimura-buchou told me that you were in deep trouble. That you needed some help. So what's the problem, I will come and save you!". Kirihara sounded somewhat exited.

"Baka! There's nothing wrong with me! I don't know what exactly Mura-buchou told you, but I'm not in your so called 'deep trouble'. So you don't have to 'save' me". Marui knew he was being mean, but he didn't need his help. He could handle the situation just fine by himself.

"Ah, you're being mean Marui-senpei.". There was a short silence. "You know what, I'll ask Niou-senpei for help!".

"No! No! You don't!". But too late, because Kirihara had already hung up. 'Oh now I'm screwed'.

He sighed and looked down at his mobile. Then someone coughed behind him. "Youngman. I assume you're the one that brought that boy in just now?". The doctor standing behind him, looked at him questionly. "Yes, yes that was me, sir. Is he alright?". Marui wouldn't know what to do if something happened to Fuji.

"Well, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell you that, since obviously you're not his family. But I think we can say that at the moment right now, he is stable. Do you have a number on which we can contact his family?". The doctor watched him expectantly.

"No sir, I only know who he is, I don't know where he lives.". Marui was starting to feel slightly uncomfortable. The fact that they wanted to talk to the family wasn't al that strange, their son was in the hospital for Gods sake. But it was the expression that was plastered on his face. Although he tried to hide it, Marui could see that it wasn't good news.

"Okay, well if you would be so kind to follow me, then we will try to track his family down.". The doctor turned on his heels and Marui followed close behind, with a heavy feeling in his stomach.

Marui told the doctor everything he knew about Fuji, which wasn't all that much. But after some telephone work with some authorities, he was able to get a hold of a number. He asked Marui to step outside the office, since it was a private conversation.

Marui obliged and waited in the hallway. Outside it was already dark and he was wondering what time it was. His parents would probably be worried when he didn't come home. He probably should call them, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. They always told them to call them when he would be late. But how often was it that he did call home to tell them he stayed over at a friends house or practice ran late and he only could answer too the answering machine. His parents worked late and therefore were most of the time away from home. He had to look after his siblings. He loved them, he really did, but sometimes he wished they had a little less hectic job, so they would be home more.

It was about twenty minutes later when he heard footsteps coming down the hall. When he looked up, he saw three people coming towards him. Al of them had the same light-brown hair. Marui assumed that they had to be related to Fuji.

A friendly looking women hurried on her way towards the room of the doctor. A frantic expression on her face. A equally anxious looking women followed her closely. The last one, the men, appeared a lot more calm and made no attempt to rush. But Marui could see his fingers twitching. It was obvious that on the inside his emotion were in turmoil.

One of the doctor's assistants was waiting for them. She showed them a file and talked for a while. She explained what was going on.

Marui could not hear what was said, for he was to far away, but from the looks of it, it wasn't something good. The eldest women, probably Fuji's mum he thought, showed signs of shock. The other two had to comfort her. They asked some more questions and finally went to see their son. Marui was once again left behind. 'Oh well. I get used to it by now'.

He picked up his bag and went for the vending machine. He didn't know exactly how many times he went their already that evening, after the eleventh time he had stopped counting. He put some money into it and choose one of the most sugary candy's. He didn't particularly like it, since it wasn't apple-flavoured bubblegum, but it was sweet and he needed that right now.

It was like he had a sixth sense, because he had the feeling that someone was staring at him. He turned around quickly and was looking right into the face of a brown haired women. She smiled slightly at him.

"You were the one who called the ambulance for my brother, right?", she asked without hesitation. Marui nodded. "I want to thank you for doing so. You save my brothers live." She bowed to him, to show him her gratitude.

"Euhm… you're welcome, Fuji-san". He wanted nothing more then to walk away, Fuji-san was creeping him out a little. At the moment he wanted to scoot past her, she grabbed his wrist. "Do you actually have a place to stay the night? It's getting late already". She looked at him with a questioning expression. Marui shifted on his feet, but didn't gave an answer.

"I take that as a 'no'. Well, you can stay at our place for the time being.".

Marui wanted to protest, to say it was alright, that he would get home safely. But when he saw her face and the look in her eyes, he just swallowed his words and just followed her.

And so was it, that an hour later he found himself in a car, on his way to the Fuji residence. He was tired and the only thing he really wanted was a bed he could sleep in. Slowly his eyes fell close, until it went dark and he left off towards the land of dreams.
