Hanako beat me again. I didn't really thinkI would beat her but I still play to win. I think she could beat one of those super computers who do nothing but play chess. After our game she quickly takes all the pieces putting them away.
Hisao
"No second game?"
Hanako
"Um... I want t-to do something else"
She picks up the board with one hand & grabs mine with her other leading me to our room. She places the chess set on the dresser closest to the door as soon as we enter the room turning to me. Hanako pressing her lips to mine in a warm embrace. Her hand grab my jacket sliding it off my shoulders & down my arms. It is an easy task since I don't button it up. She begins to unbutton my shirt starting from the top button slowly going down. Once my shirt is open the fingers of her right hand find my scar tracing slowly up & down it.
Hanako's lips move from my lips to my jaw then neck. Her hands fall to my pants undoing the button sliding down the zipper. Her hands don't seem nervous she slides my pants & boxers down kissing down my scar as she does. It is now my turn her hat & jacket are already off her so I slowly untie the ribbon she wears around her neck letting it hang over her shoulders then move on to the buttons of her collar. I get the last button she raises her arms so I can pull her shirt off which I hastily do then unhook her bra tossing both across the room.
We return to kissing as I undo her pants pulling them down her legs. I lift her up carrying her to the bed laying her down. I kiss up her leg slowly starting at her ankle. I soon taste her wetness letting my tongue run over her. I suck slightly hearing her whimper & moan. I run my hands up her legs & over her hips.
Hanako
"H-Hisao put it on I w-want...
I stand knowing what she is asking. I look through one of the bed side drawers finding a condom putting it on as fast but safely as I can. Her eyes look up to me as I do. I slowly slide into her leaning over kissing her. We hold onto each other as we make love trying to hold the finish off as long as possible. Hanako's lets out a loud moan as we reach our climax. We hold each other tightly pulling the covers over us to fend off the cold.
Hanako lays her head on my chest listening to my heart. It is faster then normal but steady. My workouts have done wonders for me. I wake up with Hanako still holding on to me her head on my chest. I almost hate to wake her but according to our clock the alarm will go off anyway.
Hisao
"Hanako time to wake up."
She nuzzles into my chest keeping her eyes closed
Hanako
"N-no not yet"
I smirk. As far as I know she didn't try to linger in bed for as long as possible back in school. My alarm goes off showing time is up. We slowly get out of bed. I grab my work clothes while Hanako slips her nightgown on. I take a nice hot shower. Yesterday was stressful but still a good day. The bully got his, Hanako is doing better since opening the shop, School is going well for both Lilly & I, & this Teaching assistant program I'm taking is really helping me know what I want to do with my life.
After I finish my shower I dry & dress coming out to the dinning room. Hanako already has breakfast on the table. It must be due to my part of not being able to easily leave a hot shower.
Hisao
"Smells great. I'm really hungry after everything from yesterday."
She hugs me then we sit at the table to eat.
Hanako
"Thank you"
We begin to eat.
Hisao
"Is Hisashi taking you to the shop again?"
Hanako
"Yes. Akira has been busy getting e-everything settled in her new position at the Japanese b-branch"
After I finish breakfast I grab my bag & lunch then give Hanako a kiss.
Hisao
Lilly & I will be by the shop to help out after classes end. I love you"
Hanako
"O-okay. I love you too Hisao"
I leave heading to Yamaku. The first ones in class as always are Hoshia & Jun. They come up to my desk when they enter.
Hoshia
"Good morning Mr. Nakai"
I look up from my paper work
Hisao
"Good morning Tsukiyomi & Yamazaki. What can I do for you two?"
Hoshia digs around in her bag fishing out a folder. She lays it on my desk opening it. It is full of photographs. I guess this is her portfolio. She flips through a few before taking one out showing it to me. It's the one she took of Hanako & I kissing.
Hoshia
"Here I wanted you to have this. I hope you like it. I think it came out really well."
I take the photo from her hand looking it over.
Hisao
"Thank you Tsukiyomi I'll make sure to show Hanako tonight."
Jun
"That is so sweet. I wish I had a boyfriend who did these type of things with me."
She looks a little jealous but not too much so
Hoshia
"I heard Rei Soga from class 3-2 likes you. I didn't know you two knew each other.
They walk off as they talk
Jun
"He is a member of the Newspaper club."
I return to my work as I drown out their girl talk. Jun's talk about video games is a lot more interesting to me anyway than romance talk. The class fills up & soon starts.
It's finally lunchtime. I still eat lunch alone for the most part but a lot of times I talk with Miss Takawa. We don't talk about Hanako's problems or appointments. She wouldn't tell me if I asked. Instead we talk about how the shop is doing. She seems to be very proud of how Hanako isn't giving up even though she is staying in the back. At lease she shows up instead of staying hidden away at home like she would have when I met her. We finish our lunch & go our separate ways. I head back to Mutou's class.
The end of the day Mutou's class went well then I hurried off to the University. I now walk next to Lilly as we talk about different things mostly about the good things going on with the shop since she knows about the bad. This area is really crowed & people are rushing by.
Lilly
"I'm glad to hear so much is going well for Hanako. I was starting to worry when you told me about that Basho guy.
Hisao
"Yeah sorry about that but he only showed up twice & I don't think he will again after yesterday."
Someone runs through the crowed & slams hard into me. I feel deja vu of the day I met Emi. This is hurting a lot worse then I remember that being. My heart is beating fast crap no no come on breath in & out calm it down. I can hear people talking & stepping away from me. Shit come on calm down your heart Hisao. I'm having trouble focusing. I see Lilly over me she is feeling for me. I try to call to her but I can't get any words out. Everything goes black around me all sounds stop.
I wake up in a room that feels way too familiar for my liking. A hospital. I work out so I don't end up here & I end up having a heart attack anyway because someone was in a rush to get through the crowd. No one is here. I'm alone. I would have liked to see Hanako's face but she is probably freaking out. I sigh. How long have I been out. My head is a bit foggy & my chest is killing me. I try to adjust a bit only to feel the catheter dig in so I decide to sit still for now. I wish I could take the tube up my nose out but I would only annoy the doctors & they would just make me wear it again I feel like those old people on oxygen. I hear the click of my door opening. I look over to see my cardiologist Dr. Nakayama enter the room. I think again how much he looks like the mascot of that American chicken place. He sees me looking at him & smiles.
Dr. Kenta
"Ah Mr. Nakai good to see you are finally awake.
I grimace a bit.
Hisao
"How long was I out for?"
Dr. Nakayama looks over the notes in his hand before answering I was starting to wonder if he heard me.
Dr. Kenta
"Three days but we did give you a powerful anesthetic to help you rest. Do you remember what happened?"
I think back to the last thing I remember
Hisao
"My friend Lilly & I were leaving school. It was crowed & someone ran through & knocked me over."
Dr. Kenta
"Very good. Well what happened as you must well know is you had another heart attack. We preformed a keyhole surgery in order to insert a temporary pacemaker. It was a minor surgery compared to your last one. We would like to keep an eye on you for a while & if there are no complications we can remove the pacemaker in a few days. Since you are awake I will be sure to inform the people on your call list. Do you have any questions?"
I shake my head no. I'm not really in the mood to talk anymore. Dr. Nakayama leaves my room.
I look at the food on the tray in front of me. I wish I had some of Hananko's cooking. I notice something out of the corner of my eye & look up. At the door talking to Dr. Nakayama is Lilly. After graduation I added her & Hanako to my call list with my parents.
Hisao
"Lilly?"
Lilly turns to face me stepping into my room.
Lilly
"Hisao how are you feeling?"
Hisao
"I feel OK. Just stuck here for a while. How is Hanako taking it?"
She frowns then sighs
Lilly
"Not well I'm afraid. I tried to get her to come when the doctor called us but she was too upset. I will try again."
I sigh as well letting my head fall.
Hisao
"If all goes well I will be out of here soon. There is a chair a few steps in front of you if you want to sit down."
Lilly sits down in the chair.
Lilly
"I was scared when you stopped talking that day. I felt everyone moving away & I didn't know what was happening."
I reach over taking her hand.
Hisao
"It's OK someone decided it was a good idea to run through the crowd & knock me over. Until my heart started to go out of control I was thinking it was like the day I met Emi."
Even though I make a joke about it she doesn't even smile. Part of being a family I guess. The rest of the time we talk a little until visitor hours are over. As we say our good byes Lilly leans over hugging me. I hug her back then she leaves. Now that I'm alone I feel tired & depressed. My eyes become heavy & I soon fall asleep.
When I wake up I see someone sitting in the chair next to me reading. I rub my eyes to bring them into focus. It is Hanako. In an extra chair is Lilly. I don't know how she got Hanako here but I'm glad she did.
Hisao
"Hey good morning."
Lilly giggles a bit at my comment.
Lilly
"Hisao it is well after noon"
I sheepishly grin the medication they are giving me is probably making me sleep.
Hisao
"I'm glad you're here Hanako."
She looks down ashamed.
Hanako
"I wasn't g-going to but Lilly y-yelled at me. I'm sorry I w-wouldn't come. I was upset I c-couldn't get out of bed. I'm a b-bad g-girlfriend."
I hold my hand out to her which she slowly takes.
Hisao
"Your not a bad girlfriend. You're here now. I know if you didn't want to come you wouldn't have."
I look over to Lilly
Hisao
"Lilly you yelled?"
Lilly blushes a bit
Lilly
"Let's just say I was more forceful than normal. I told her that she is always upset she can't do more for those she loves & here you are needing her & she was just laying there in bed. It broke her out of her own concerns & helped her focus on being here for you."
I feel Hanako squeeze my hand some.
Everyday Hanako comes to see me. Her being here helps me get better. A few days after I woke up here they removed the pacemaker. They let me out a week later when they are certain I'm healthy enough. I walk into my apartment with Hanako. It feels good to be home again.
Hisao
"I'm glad to be out of that hospital."
Hanako nods in agreement
Hanako
"I'm g-glad you are too. It's b-been lonely here without you. I stayed the night at Lilly's a lot."
I kiss her on top of the head. She wraps her arms around me but makes sure not to rest her head on my chest like she normally does since I'm still healing.
Hisao
"Hanako you are the reason I gotten better so quickly."
She looks up to me with tears in her eyes searching mine to make sure I'm not lying to her.
Hanako
"R-really?"
Hisao
"Yes. Last time I had to deal with it alone. This time Lilly came to visit but you came Everyday & sat by me. I knew you wouldn't give up on me."
Hanako
"Lilly would have c-come too but she had school."
I smile a bit
Hisao
"I know but having you there, my girlfriend was what I needed most."
She lowers her head her arms still around me. Her shoulders rise & fall as she starts to cry.
Hanako
I... I'm glad I could h-help you. Y-you always had such c-confidence in me. I felt I-I let you down when I was too s-scared to come. B-but you knew how I wanted to help you i-it made me strong enough t-to come everyday.
We sit on the couch happy to be home A hospital is some place we both had more than enough of the first time we had to stay in them. Now we can relax some before I pick up my life again tomorrow.
AN:I hope you liked this. Let me know what you think. Soon I will be putting this story on hold since a name like "A New Life" I can keep it going for a long while. But I will leave it with something that can be called both an ending & Cliff hanger.
