Chapter 6

It was morning. About 5 hours after Yoshimori had stabled. "Tokine!" A sudden voice called to Tokine's name who's just got out of her house, and on the way to go to her school. It was Shiori. "Ahh, Shiori-san!" Tokine replied her call. Hearing that made Shiori's smile dissapeared a little. "Hey, I thought I told you to call me 'Shiori'!" She complaint. "Ohh, sorry. I'm still not used to it. So... 'Shiori'?" And those words made Shiori smile again "Right!". Then, the 2 of them went to school together.

"So, umm. How's Yoshimori doing?" Tokine suddenly asked. "Well, no changes. He's bleeding had stopped, but we still have to change his bandages. He's still sleeping." She explained. "I see. Oh, where's Gen-kun?" She asked again. "I think he's not going to school today. Don't know why, thought." "... And, what about you?" She asked the 3rd time, but this time Shiori's counfused. "Eh? What do you meant?" This time, Shiori's the one who asked. "Your right hand I meant. Is it alright to go to school without Yoshimori? Since your always with him after your hand got injured." She explained. "Hmm? But I've got you right?" "Eh? Me?" Tokine's confused. "You'll take care of me while Yoshimori's not around, right?" She asked with a smile, and that made Tokine sigh little. "... Sure" "Great!" And they continue they're walk to school.

Meanwhile, at the Sumimura's. "Good. I've finally finished up changing the bandages!" Shuuji-san said while throwing he's breath. "Arigatou for your help, Gen-kun!" Shuuji said thankfully. "H, hi..." Gen said. Shuuju just smiled looking at Yoshimori who's sleeping soundly, but it was cut of by him, hearing sound of the door opening. "Ng? Who might that be? I'll get it while you stay here ok, Gen-kun?" Shuuji said with a smile. "Y, yeah..." After a moment, Shuuji reach the front door, a little shocked to see his first son who hasn't been around, Masamori.

"Masamori?" "I'm home, otou-san." He said. Then, he asked "Where's Yoshimori?" "A, ahh... He's in your room. Did you hear?" "Yes, I did. Gen told me." He said while reaching his room. So that's why he came back. Masamori... Shuuji thought while smiling. Not taking his time, Masamori quickly opened his door. There, he saw Yoshimori who's sleeping soundly with he's pyjamas and Gen who's a little shock seing his Touryo. "Touryo..." He said. "... Gen... How is he...? How did this happened?" Asked Masamori while he's taking his seat next to Yoshimori's futon. "... Actually..." Then, Gen told him all that has happened, from start to end.

"... I see... Thankgodness he's still alive..." Masamori sighed deeply while closing he's eyes, thanking God. "..." Touryo... I never saw this sad and worrying face of him... Even if he doesn't look like he didn't care about Sumimura, but deep down, I know he really... Gen just kept thinking in his mind while Masamori just kept looking at Yoshimori and placed his hand on Yoshimori's forehead. "... Thankyou Gen. For your help I meant" Said Masamori thanking him. "I didn't help much. It was Shiori who did almost all the work. Even with her injured arm..."

"Shiori? Shiori Takeda you mean?" Masamori asked. "Yes, she's been her for over a week." He answered. There's 2 thing that confused Masamori. First, Shiori who came, and 2nd, Gen who called a girl's name. Her first name. My... How he has changed... I think it's because of this brother of mine. Yoshimori... For a while, silence grew between them.

5 days later.

"It's been almost 5 days, and Yoshimori still hasn't woken up I think." Tokine said to herself. I want to know how he's doing by asking Shiori, but she's absent today. I wonder why... She thought. "Hey, Tokine?" Said one of her friend, Madoka. "Ng? Madoka? What is it?" She asked. "Where's that cute boyfriend of yours? Lately, I notice you're not with him." She said with a smile like teasing. "EH! Boy friend! Let me guess, it's Kirara who told you...?" "Hi! She did!" She said. "How many times do I have to tell, HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" She yelled out. "Ohh? Don't get so worked up. Anyway, there's someone who wants to talk to you, there!" She said while pointing at the door.

"Ng? That's..." Tokine look at Madoka's point of direction. There's a junior high student. It's a girl, and her name is Yurina Kanda. That's... Yoshimori's classmate? The one who can see ghost. Then, Tokine walk towards her and went to the roof with her to talk. "Ano, Sumimur-kun's onee-san, I, I meant Yukimura-san!" She said with a shaking voice. The's her habit, I guess. "Yes, what is it?" Tokine asked while waiting for her question. "Umm... It's been 5 days and Sumimura-kun's not here at school. I meant, is he sick or something?" "...!" That question made Tokine shocked for a moment.

D, damn, what should I tell her? I can't say Yoshimori's got badly injured in his stomach because of an Ayakashi attack, she might get panicked. "Umm, well, he's just got a bad fever that's all. I think in another 2 or 3 days he'll come." She said, forcing a smile. "Oh, I see. Then, thanks for telling me, Yukimura-san!" Yurina smiled and left. When she was almost reached her class room, there's two of her fiends that stopped her. They were Kyoko and Ayano, who believes that Yurina is in love with Yoshimori.

"Oi, Yuri! How is it?" Kyoko started. "Wha? What do you meant, Kyoko-chan?" "Don't play dumb Yuri! We know that you went to the senior high division to ask about Sumimura!" Said Ayano. "What! No! Well, yes but...!" She tried to explain but failed. Meanwhile, There was Tabata and Ichigaya who saw the girls talking. "I guess Yoshimori is sick?" "Yeah. Even thought he always sleep in class, it seems everybody thinks it's weird not having him around. Even our homeroom teacher thinks that." Ichigaya explained. "... Just where the heck is he?" Tabata asked to himself.

After school

There was Tokine who's on her way to go home. "..." Yoshimori... I wonder how is he. Is he awake already? Or will he sleep fore... "! What am I saying! Yoshimori will definetly be alright! I know he would..."

"Soon, he's gonna be a man that you can count on."

"You love him, don't you? Yoshimori-kun I meant."

"Hey, how's that cute boyfriend of yours?"

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"

"... Damn... What am I thinking? And why did I say that? Ofcourse he's not my boyfriend, but..." It doesn't change the fact that I'm really in love with him... Shiori's right. She can read my mind so easily. I'm so stupid, always treating him like a child, thought he slowly becoming a man. "... Yoshimori..."

"Tokine-oneechan!" "! Toshimori-kun!" She was shocked. She kept thinking to much again. "On your way home? How about you come to my place first to see Yoshi-nii?" He asked with a smile. Tokine really hasn't ready to see Yoshimori yet, but she couldn't say no. "If... That's ok...?" "Ofcourse! Let's go!" He said cheerfully, while Tokine just smiled seing him.

About 15 minutes later

"I'm home!" Said Toshimori while opening the door. "Ahh, Tadaima, Toshimori." Said Shuuji welcoming him. Then, he realizes there's Tokine behind his 3rd son. "Ohh, Tokine-chan! Come in! Come in!" Said Shuuji welcoming her with a cheerful tone. "Ahh, arigatou, Yoshimori's otou-san. Tokine slowly take of her shoes, then suddenly he saw a man who just came out of his room. "...! Masamori-san! When did you came back?" She asked cheerfully. "Ohh, Tokine-chan! It's been a long time. I''ve came back since 5 days ago!" He answered. "...!" 5 days ago? That's when Yoshimori got injured. … So he came back, just to see his little brother? Masamori-san...

Tokine just stood there, yet suddenly she heard a voice calling her name. "Tokine! When did you come?" It was Shiori, asking her with a smile. " ! Shiori." I forgot she lives here. "Haha, bet you can't wait to see him, huh?" "Huh? Him? Who?" Tokine's just confused, until she saw a figure of a junior high boy who come down stairs. He's still wearing his pyjamas, but the buttons of his shirt was opened. Because of that, we could see his bandages still covering with little blood. There was Gen beside him who's holding his arm so that Yoshimori wouldn't fall. It was Masamori's order to help him thought.

Tokine's eyes widden. Tears are beginning to fall slowly from her eyes. "Yoshimori, be careful okay. Just 1 step at a time!" Shuuji said while sweating and worrying that he might fall. "It's okay otou-san. Shishio's holding me. Haha" Yoshimori said while laughing. Finally, he reached the bottom of the stairs. There, he could see Tokine. "Oh, Tokine. How ar...!" Yoshimori's words was stopped because Tokine suddenly hugged him. But she didn't hug him too hard because she knew Yoshimori hasn't healed.

There, everyone could only see them with a surprised look. "... To, Tokine...? Hey, umm... Everybody's watch..." Again, his words was stopped. "I, I was so worried...* sob * I was so... * sob * worried about you...! Yoshimori!" "A, ah.." He was shocked and could only let her stay in that position. He has realized no that he has hurt her so much. All he can do is hug her back a little, and wait til she stopped crying.

To be continued.
