Day Five - 003

Tuesday

Haruka rubbed her golden eyes sleepily as she tugged at the hem of her pink nightgown. Her slippered feet dragging lightly on the floor as she descended the brown carpeted stairs. The stairway spired down landing at the far edge of the living room. She yawned loudly before prying her eyes open to glance around. From her position she could see the back of a certen bluenette's head, as he leaned into the comfy white couch.

"Masato?" She called, her voice light and bell like.

"Haruka-sama." He looked back at her, head tilted to the side. Bangs falling into his eyes.

"Where is everyone?" She shuffled closer. Her pale hands rubbing at her eyes yet again.

"Ren has already fallen asleep for the day." Masato whispered back pointing down to where Ren's head rested on his thigh. "Natsuki and Toki headed to the kitchen."

"The other three?"

"Not sure."

She watched him for a moment. His eyes looked as tired as she felt. His complexion pale as usual. His slim fingers gently brushed Ren's hair from his face. He too, was already in his nightwear. Most likely on his way to bed when he found the drowsy Ren.

"Are you adjusting well?" She asked, worry apparent in her voice.

He pulled his hand away from Ren's head and ran his fingers through his own hair brushing the blue strands from his eyes. "I'm doing just fine Haruka-sama. There is no need to worry for me."

Haruka shook her head. "I always worry about the ones that have just turned. I know our way of life isn't an easy one to just jump into one day."

He laughed. "It's been a few weeks, and I'm feeling fine."

"Okay." She nodded as she left for the kitchen.

Her eyebrows arched as she noticed that the curly blonde was standing over the oven. He wiped his hands on his fluffy pink apron before giving her a wave with a big smile. Her head whipped around to see yet another blue haired man nodding off at the table. His reading glasses slipping down. His nose almost touching his book and his head bobbed.

"Tokiya!"

"Yes!" He straightened almost immediately.

Her eyebrows still arched, her eyes gleaming. "You're letting Natsuki bake?"

"Yes, I mean no." His blue eyes darted over the his friend and he sighed. "I mean yes."

She smirked at him. "As punishment you have to eat everything he bakes."

If Toki's face could have paled more it would have. His mouth dropped and his shoulders shrugged. "N-no... anything b-but tha-at!"

Haruka giggled turning her head back to Natsuki, who was pulling out his death cookies. He put them on the counter and met her glare.

"Yes? Oh would you like a cookie?" He asked exuberantly.

She took a step back. "N-no I'm fine." She cleared her voice. "Actually..."

"What is it Haru-chan?"

"Where are Ranmaru, Eiichi and Ai?"

Natsuki tapped his chin. "Ranmaru went to bed. Eiichi is around here somewhere."

"And Ai?" She tapped her foot impatiently. The sun would be rising soon and she was tired. It had been a long night for her.

Natsuki grinned. "Well, I'm not really sure. He could be here, he could be out. You never know."

"Natsuki! I want a straight answer, Now!" Her eyes narrowed flashing a bright red before going back to their natural golden color.

The blonde yelped loudly, waking Tokiya up for his drowsy state. "He's out!"

Tokiya groaned, rubbing his eyes. "He's with Syo isn't he?"

Haruka turned to him her arms folding over his chest as as Natsuki shook his head rapidly trying to warn Toki but was far to late. "And who, might I ask is Syo?"

"Don't know."

"Natsuki." She said not looking, as he tried to sneak away. "Who is Syo?"

"Just a little meal that he's enjoying." He hesitated.

"A little meal or another accident waiting to happen." She frowned. "He's just as new as Masa. And Natsuki, he is your charge." She turned to leave for her bedroom. "Take care of things."

Otoya eyed Kaoru as the blonde sat down at his seat, just behind him. He looked tired, depressed. His hair, which was normally combed neatly down, stood somewhat frizzy and unkept.

"Kaoru? Is everything okay?"

He rested his pale face in his hands before answering the redhead. "Mother's going to take Syo to the hospital so it may be a while before he can visit again."

"He's still not better?"

"No."

Otoya frowned. "It sounds like you're not going with him this time."

"I'm not allowed. Father is out on a fishing trip for the next few days and mother wants me to stay home." Kaoru said shakily. He let his head slide from his hands and land on the desk.

"It must be hard."

"It is." Kaoru mumbled before yawning. "It's going to be so lonely tonight."

"Do you want me to come over tonight? I'd have to ask Reiji first but I'm sure it will be okay." Otoya tried to cheer him up.

Kaoru smiled a little looking up at the redhead. He wanted to go with his brother. To him it was a foreign feeling not being there when his brother was hurting. Kaoru wasn't sure how he was going to get through the next week. A week without Syo...

"Kaoru."

"Yes?"

"I know things will be okay, just be positive."

Kaoru knew that he was upsetting the redhead and he felt bad about it. He could see the worry carved in his face. So even if it was a lie, he did it for Syo all the time, he just wanted to make Otoya feel better.

He smiled. "Thanks Otoya. I'm sure that you're right."
