Chapter 15

"Ah!" Hiro sigh loudly as he let himself fall to the bed. What a tiring day. All day he had to entertain Shin and with all the innuendoes and touchy feeling, he really had a bad feeling about this sleep over. Lying on the soft bed, he recalled what happen during the day.

What more, before dinner, Shin received a call from Sukiya telling him that she can't make it home till Sunday night. Somehow, from the atmosphere he was getting, that call made Shin more devilish and out of control than he was before. That's what he feeling he is getting. Even the servants tend to avoid Shin whenever they can. What a bad feeling he is getting.

He decided to take a bath after dinner to relief himself of some of the stress build up from today's "eventful activity" with Shin. And when he came out from the bath after dinner, there was a yukata laid out on the bed. He guess that he was supposed to wear that so he did, wearing his boxer underneath.

I guess it's a norm for the Sumeragi family to wear these types of clothing.

Turning his face to looking out the window, he saw the beautiful scenery of the garden outside illuminated by the moonlight. There were mysterious sparkling light dotted here and there making the scenery surreal. Somehow, it seems as if it's calling him outside to play. Strange that. The more he looked, the more intense the feeling he got telling him to come outside.

Slowly getting up to his feet from the bed, Hiro moved towards the window. The window was a full length window from the floor to the top, to have privacy they just have to close the heavy velvet curtain over the window.

But with the window now wide open, letting the fresh night air in as well as the moonlight in, it feels bewitching somehow. The lights dancing just out of reach of the room. He moved closer to the open window, the breeze making the ends of his yukata flutter.

Still looking at the lights, he realised that they seem to be moving. Rubbing his eyes, he thought that they were just his imagination. But when they did not disappear, he reached out his hand to try to capture them. As he passes his hand over them, a strange feeling went over him.

Somehow I feel as if I'm floating on air.. This feeling… Anyway, the lights are floating away again.. Best that I follow them…

Walking barefooted on grasses and pathways, he followed the lights till he ended up at the foot of a large tree. Looking around, he saw bushes, a pond and buildings but he had no idea where he was.

Strange, I didn't remember walking all the way here. Where am I anyway? Looks like I'm lost… Sigh..

Ting!... Ting!...

"?"

What was that? It sounded like a bell. But the sensation it brings… It's coming from the other end of the tree..

Hiro slowly and cautiously made his way round the tree. The first thing he saw was a pair of feet wearing Japanese slippers crossed at the knee. As he moved closer, he saw that that person was wearing a yukata, same as his. When at last, he saw his face-

"! Shin?" Shin sat relaxed, leaning against the tree. In one hand he was holding a bell in front of him, moving it slightly every now and then to make that sound. On one of Shin's hand that was on the ground, a paper with some sort of inscription written on it, seemed to be floating above his palm. That paper seems to be burning with a blue blaze but strangely it's not burned at all.

What on earth is going on?

Ting!... Ting!...

"Nice sound isn't it…" Shin said absentmindedly as he sounded the bell. Hiro stood still not know what was going on.

"Hnn…" Geez, what the hell is going on…

Shin looked away from the bell, looked up to Hiro and smiled. Getting up to his feet, Shin walked towards Hiro with the bell tinkling every step of the way. The closer he got, the stronger the sensation he[Hiro] was getting from the bell.

"Shin! Wh-What—?" Hiro tried to move but somehow he couldn't move an inch of his body.

Wh-what? I can't move my body!

As Shin reached Hiro, he puts his arms around him[Hiro] and brought his mouth closer to Hiro's ear.

"Let the games begin…"was whispered to Hiro.

Back in Tokyo,

"We would like you to stay here for the time being, Sukiya. No matter what happen, don't go to Kyoto until I tell you to."

"…."

"Until we resolve this matter, you are not to contact anyone there. Everything you need will be provided for, just stay here for the time being. I will explain to Shin about it later."

"…But—"

"No buts! I have to call in your father as well. Let see what his opinion are. The rest, your studies and such, I will inform them about your absence with some sort of excuse."

"Hnn!"

Laying haphazard on the sofa, Sukiya recalled the words said by Great-grandmother. Her orders are absolute, there is no disobeying them. Sighing, she turned her head right and left looking around the apartment. It seems they had readied this apartment here in Tokyo for her use. There is no escaping Tokyo for now.

What was she to do? It seems that Great-grandmother was pretty mad. It's probably she had some idea of what was going on but she was still shock to find the evidence in her face. The doctor might not know but Great-grandmother surely knows. That was why she did not allow her to go home.

Getting up to her feet, she walked out the open sliding windows to the balcony. Shivering against the cold night air, she looked up to the moon. Tokyo sure is bright and lively, even at night. Looking up at the moon, she placed her hand on her stomach.

"Pregnant…"

The End
