Drabble 40: Purple Lilac because You are My First Love

Part One

Kaoru blinked twice at the floral printed garment his glamorous but eccentric mother, Yuzuha, displayed on his bedspread.

"So what do you think?" she asked, a grin etched on her red painted lips.

With an uneasy smile, Kaoru picked up the knee length, cream colored sundress adorned with a blended spectrum of purple and pink flowers accented with bright green leaves. Left on the bed was a thin black belt meant to circle the waist and a coffee brown cardigan. Yuzuha even picked a series of accessories including golden bangles, lilac shaped earrings, and brown cowboy boots detailed in black.

Part Two

"Well?" she asked, impatient.

"It's nice, mother," he answered, intending to say more before Yuzuha cut him off, outraged.

"Nice? Nice! I'll have you know this is my best work of the season! Not taking into account the time constraints I was under. It is perfection, and I thought you of all people would recognize that, Hikaru!"

Kaoru sighed. "Mother, I'm Kaoru. And I never meant any insult. It's just…a little small, don't you think?"

He hoped Yuzuha was long passed her phase of dressing him and his brother in girls' clothing but would still appease her.

She giggled.

Part Three

"Silly, Kao-chan! This isn't for you," she clarified, "It's for your lady friend."

"Lady friend?" Kaoru repeated, his face blanched.

Yuzuha nodded and removed a small envelope from the pocket of her designer jacket. She reached inside and removed over a dozen glossy photographs, eyeing them adoringly.

"Kagome-chan is such a lovely girl! Beautiful eyes, long hair, gorgeous clear complexion, slender limbs, lithe and trim figure! Imagine that such a winsome young lady would become my boy's first love! Then again, you surely inherited my impeccable taste!"

"Kagome!" Kaoru sputtered, "When did you—? How did—?"

"Kao-chan, that's rude. Speak clearly."

Part Four

Kaoru took a deep breath and tried to put his thoughts in order despite all that occurred in less than five minutes.

Tamaki, he decided was the only explanation. Only the host king would go such lengths and involve his mother in his mad plans.

"Mother," Kaoru said much calmer than before, "I think you have the wrong idea."

"Oh, so you aren't courting this young lady?" she asked, seemingly innocent.

"Well, I—" he tried to explain, but there was a knock at the door.

"Master Hitachiin," the manor's twin maids called out, "Someone is on the phone for you."

Part Five

"Really?" he questioned, "From who?"

"A young woman named Higurashi Kagome," they answered in unison.

"Kagome?" he repeated in a small whisper.

Considering her exuberant reunion with Okada, Kaoru didn't think Kagome would contact him so soon.

"Master Hitachiin, shall we take a message?"

"No!" he abruptly answered, "That is—I'll speak with her. Thank you."

Yuzuha smiled as her son took the phone and spoke to the girl on the other end of the line, gently smiling. Sighing happily, she left his bedroom, shooing the maids away when she did. She was positively giddy but joy wouldn't distract her.

Part Six

"Have you retrieved the information I requested?" Yuzuha asked.

The maids nodded and spoke in turns like her sons often did.

"We have obtained the address to the Higurashi shrine—"

"—and made all preparations for Sunday brunch."

"Wonderful!" Yuzuha gushed, "When Kao-chan is finished on the phone, package the outfit and send it at once with the invitation and instructions to wear it to the manor for brunch this Sunday. Make sure Kagome-chan's entire family is invited!"

"Yes, milady," they said in tandem before departing to their assigned task while Yuzuha left for her office.

My boy is in love!
