CHAPTER 15
A loud upbeat music was blaring from the speakers surrounding the four corners of the cramped up room. Lights flickering from red, yellow, blue and other bright colors were the only source of illumination in the dark space. The air inside the room felt so thick and suffocating hot that one could even perceive a thick cloud around the room. From where Nishikido was sitting, he could see people dancing their bodies to their heart’s content, grinding the most intimate body parts that they have with the person dancing before, behind and even on their sides. This was the place where he was supposed to feel at ease, relaxed; leaving his worries behind him. The fight that he had with Jin a couple of days ago was still not settled. Ryo firmly believed that it wasn’t his fault. He was not the one who immediately snapped at someone and suddenly grabbing the other by the collar. And it was not his fault that he hated Ueda from the depths of his being. The guy just kept emitting a “You should hate me!” aura or was Nishikido the only one seeing that aura the older guy seemed to be emitting?
Jin knew him better. Jin should have known him better! The heck, Jin was his best friend for almost a decade now! His baka friend knew his perks, quirkiness, weirdness and Jin surely knew his past. Akanishi should have understood his approach on the said guy, Ueda Tatsuya. The copper haired man just reminded him of the girl that he once loved. The bitch that he willingly offered his heart too but she just up and broke it without any consideration. Nishikido really hated reminiscing about the past. There was nothing good and beautiful worth recalling.
This was actually the very first time that Akanishi and him had a serious fight. Oh, they do fight! There was even an incident in the past wherein their faces were so swollen, blood trickling at the corner of their mouths and bruises all over their face and body after they decided out of urge, for they could not remember what actually started the fist fight in the first place, to make the others their punching bag. Fighting was not new to them both! Fighting was a common thing among them three; Akanishi, Yamapi and him. But this was the first time that he saw his best friend so pissed at something he did.
Did he go overboard with his treatment of Ueda? He just lashed at the older guy every time they meet. That wasn’t a new thing! He reduce the latter’s existence to something unworthy of being associated to him. That also was a fact but it wasn’t worth being so agitated about! Him being unkind to Ueda, him being a bastard to the latter and him plainly hating the older guy’s existence was very normal so why did his best friend explode like a volcano? Could he be…….Nah, Nishikido knew that his baka friend was head over heels in love with his turtle! So what caused the former’s sudden outburst?
Ryo recalled that moment when Jin grabbed him by the neck and started throwing words of hurt and insult. He acknowledged the spiteful words his best friend said but it doesn’t mean that he was hurt by the terms uttered at him. He acknowledged it. Yes it’s true! But him being hurt was a different thing. He could have done better than Akanishi! After all, he was not known as the poison tongue for nothing.
“….my friend Tatsuya” Jin surely treasured his friends. He would even go to the extent of beating even his very own best friend just to protect a friend. Come to think of it, since when did Akanishi and that girly looking man became that “close”. Those two were acquaintance, friends if you put it in a more intimate term, but since when did that baka became all too protective of the other?
Kamenashi….He must be the reason why Jin acted like that! Kamenashi was the best friend of Ueda and a Kamenashi worrying over the state of a certain copper haired man was not a good sight to look at for his overly in love boyfriend Akanishi. Anything that Kamenashi will act, do and feel can and will affect Jin! Kame must have had it all in him, piled up within his heart, to make Jin suddenly explode just like what he did.
And to think the fight started all because he just called Tat-chan; no wait, erase that! And since when did he start calling that good for nothing guy by his nickname! The fight erupted just because he called Ueda Hime. The man just looks like a girl and he sure acts like some royalty with his air of elegance and…beauty!
The heck! Nishikido was starting to become irritated with himself! Awhile ago, he called the person he hated so much by his nickname and now he’s saying that the very person that he abhors; in some ways, kind of in a very tiny, nano-like size, looks beautiful. And damn he really didn’t know what came over him!
Ueda’s a pain in the butt. His existence was a mere reminder of the person that he despised so much! But he knew that it wasn’t the older man’s fault. He knew it from the start. Even before harsh words came pouring out of his mouth, he already knew that it wasn’t the latter’s mistake. Even before hate took its roots into his heart, he already knew that the guy was innocent. But can you blame him if he hated Ueda? It’s like what one’s feels towards a cockroach. The ugly looking creature didn’t do anything to make us despise him but we hate him so much we even enjoyed killing it. Ueda’s not a cockroach and he surely doesn’t want to kill the elder but he can’t help but hate the latter.
It’s all because of her; Atsuko!
Today was Nishikido’s birthday. It’s not like he was looking forward to this day, he actually doesn’t care whether this day came or not. But things changed when he met Atsuko. Atsuko was his life, his very being! Without Atsuko he felt like he will die. He had evening class that day that was why when his class ended earlier than what was scheduled, he immediately went to his apartment, more of like the apartment that he shared with his best friends; Jin and Yamapi. He planned on making a special late dinner for him and Atsuko even if he wasn’t that certain the girl would eat the food he will be making. Hey, it’s the thought that counts right? So it’s a OK! Even if he should be the one being lavished with attention and surprise today because it was his special day, he actually doesn’t mind doing the lavishing to his girl friend. He will do it every day if Atsuko will ask him to, occasion or not.
Before going directly to his apartment, he passed by the convenience store near their house to buy the necessary ingredients for the meal he planned on cooking. He was humming a very melodic song as he trailed the road leading to his destination. It was very undeniable, based on the expression the Osakan was showing in his face, that he was definitely happy; very happy indeed!
He was still humming a song, shifting the bags from his hand to his other free hand as he tried opening the door to their residence. He was still in deep thought about the menu he would be cooking while placing the grocery bag at the kitchen counter. After a couple of minutes when the silence of the atmosphere registered in his mind, he heard a faint sound. His eyebrow immediately arched up as he surveyed the place he was in. Nothing was disturbed from their position and surely he didn’t notice anything missing. He thought that his imagination must be playing tricks on him, making him hear things which were not there.
He continued with his ministrations in the kitchen this time taking out all the items out of the bag. After a few minutes, Nishikido heard again that disturbing noise; disturbing because it sounded like someone was in pain.
He should have believed in Jin when the latter said that there was something eerie in their apartment. When Akanishi told them that he heard moaning, crying and some weird noises in their room, Ryo assumed that his baka best friend could either be hallucinating or his brain just went kapoof after being overworked. Ryo was very doubtful with Akanishi’s statement. The latter always said those things after exams and him being more logical and well minded compared to Jin and Pi and since he knew those two very well, decided to disregard every word Jin said.
The noise was getting louder and louder each second and Ryo’s eyebrow was inching higher and higher as it matched the noisy sound. He carefully placed the grocery items he got out from the bag, grabbing a bat around the corner of the kitchen as his eyes surveyed the inside of the apartment. He looked from left to right, front and back. There was no one with him in the room and he was pretty sure the door was locked before and after he went inside the room. Cold air passed over him making him shiver unconsciously. A soft cuss escaped his lips as he keenly observed the room for the second time.
When he heard the noise another time, he immediately followed the source of the said clamor. He went out of the kitchen, through their living room while passing Akanishi and Yamashita’s rooms. The noise was sounding thunderous as he went near his room.
“What the!?! There’s a ghost inside my room?!? And to think I was very adamant about that kind of things!” Ryo mentally expressed his opinion. He was crunching his face, tightly gripping the bat and raising it high in the air in preparation for the attack he planned on making that was if someone will attack him and if he can hit his attacker with a solid object.
“Uhn…Harder….”
Nishikido’s eyes popped. Was the ghost doing the thing he was thinking they were doing? Could ghost even do that in the first place? He raised his right hand as he scratched the back of his head looking all the more confused and surprised. A moan vibrated in the atmosphere this time more feminine than what he thought he heard before. Goosebumps crept over his body making him clasp his quivering body. Suddenly, realization hit him like a speeding truck. Ghosts were doing each other in his room, on his bed!
In the speed of light, he grabbed the door knob turning it to the side but he felt like a bucket of ice cold water was dropped on his body when he heard what was said next. Someone uttered Atsuko’s name, his beloved girl friend’s name! Nishikido immediately disregarded his feeling of doubt but curiosity was getting the best out of him. With shaking hands, he continued turning the door knob, slowly opening the said entrance, making sure that no sound was heard from his exploitation.
His body was ice cold but his blood was boiling. He felt angry but guilty at the same time. On his bed lay his beloved Atsuko all naked and sweaty; being fucked by some repulsive looking guy. His Atsuko was moaning under that ugly man, asking the latter to do her hard. He saw his world crumble right before his very eyes. His hold on the bat was becoming tighter every time he heard her moan and he saw the man doing his girl.
Today was his birthday! Today was supposed to be a great day for him! But why? Why did this happen? What did he do wrong? He gave his everything to Atsuko; time, attention, love and even money even if he only had a few to begin with. He gave everything and now he felt like he was left with nothing!
It was a very big surprise for Akanishi and Yamapi when Ryo told them what happened. Oh no, they weren’t surprised about Nishikido’s girl friend. They already knew about her true color. The girl even had the nerve to ask them to sleep around with her when Ryo wasn’t with their group. What surprised them was the knowledge that Ryo didn’t kill the cheating bastards after what he saw. Ryo had a very poisonous tongue and a flaring temper to match so it was very shocking for them to hear that he just let those two off.
“You knew?” Nishikido asked his two best friends when he asked them to meet him in a café near their apartment. Jin and Yamapi were eyeing him intently afterwards giving each other a worried look, taunting the other to answer their friend’s question first. Ryo was looking dejected, eyes directed at the table they were in, hands playing with what they deemed to be a ketchup container as Akanishi forced Yamashita, more of like Jin pouting his mouth as he pointed it from Ryo’s direction to Pi then vice versa. Yamapi countered his best friend’s act with a very dangerous glare then mouthing a “Why me? You do it!” to the latter.
“Ahh…yes, we knew.” Akanishi answered in a soft voice as he finally gave in to Yamapi’s threatening stare while he avoided looking at his other best friend’s direction.
“Since when?” Nishikido inquired still not looking at his companion, his hand still occupied at the ketchup container.
“A couple of months now…” Jin replied this time daring to take a peek at the depressed Osakan.
“How?” The known doukon asked in a voice devoid of any emotions.
“She kind of…ah…asked us to sleep with her when…you were not around.” Jin replied nervousness evident in the tone of his voice as he kept on fidgeting with his hands. Both of them noticed the tightened grip Ryo was applying to the bottle after Jin answered the question.
“And you didn’t tell me?” Nishikido asked hurt was apparent in his tone as he glanced at Jin for the very first time tonight.
“We planned on telling you but somehow…we didn’t know how to.” Akanishi replied with all honesty and sincerity as he looked at his friend’s eyes directly.
“And you just let her made a fool out of me!” Nishikido snapped anger was apparent in his features and words.
“Ryo we really did plan on telling you about her infidelities! We were even racking our brains off just thinking on how we’ll tell you. Even this baka almost had his brain go haywire just thinking on ways on how we’ll tell you but we know you Ryo. We know you too damn well we know how you’ll react.” Tomohisa defended their action.
They, Jin and Yamapi, really did plan on telling their best friend the truth but they perceived the latter wouldn’t listen to them. They knew Ryo would just go berserk and would automatically assume that they were just jealous of what he has, had for that matter now. They hated seeing their friend being toyed by a bitch who was not worthy even having a second of Nishikido’s attention and love but they comprehended that what they would be telling the latter would just be futile. You can’t force someone to accept what you declared. The heck, it would be more fruitful if you hit your head on the wall rather than trying to convince Ryo that what you proclaimed was true.
Nishikido could hear the music become livelier as the dance floor became more crowded. A girl was sprawled on top of him, caressing his chest, making light feathered circles as the former pressed herself on him more. Another girl was nibbling his ear as Ryo stroked her arm tenderly.
“This is life!” Ryo voiced out as he eyed the girls surrounding him; alluring, lovely ladies that would do anything he would ask them too. A smile sneaked into his lips as he basked himself with the euphoric sensuality of the atmosphere he was in. He grabbed the lady lying on his chest afterwards kissing her senselessly. He heard the girl moan as he continued ravishing the latter’s mouth. He heard the ladies surrounding him protests as they also wanted to have the same treatment the one lucky girl was experiencing. He displayed a smirk as he felt how wanted he was.
But his smirk immediately vanished when he saw someone before him; someone who looks utterly familiar to him. Copper colored hair, a body which looked so frail but in truth was as strong as an ox, skin as white as snow…His eyes almost popped out from its sockets when he realized who that recognizable person was.
“Ueda?” His mind expressed as he looked so surprise upon what he saw. His eyes trailed the man before him, eyeing his every move and totally forgetting the girls on top and around him. Nishikido observed the older guy as he busied himself carrying some large boxes as he went back and forth from the room around the corner and back at the slightly illuminated space a couple of meters away from the counter. A bulky looking guy dressed in a black and white suit which Ryo assumed to be one of the bosses in the club, looked more of like a gangster rather than the respective business man he was trying to portray, was standing beside Ueda, pointing his fingers at the latter and from time to time would shout at the younger man as Ryo assumed was his way of giving orders to the nervous Ueda.
He saw the burly looking man grabbed Ueda’s arm as the frail looking man tightly gripped the box around his arm. The manager shoved the latter to the direction of the room the girly-looking man had been frequenting.
Anger started to boil within him as his eyes surveyed the guy whom he despised being treated like some slave. It’s true that he was cruel to the older guy but he never did went to the extent of treating the girly looking man as a serf. Since when did Ueda start working in the bar he visited regularly? He wasn’t able to have a night life these past few days since it was exam week and he really didn’t feel like partying since the thing between him and Jin started.
Was the latter that destitute for cash that he would even work at this kind of place? Places like these don’t fit Ueda. Even if he hated the man, he still doesn’t want to see him being insulted the way he was being insulted in this pub.
“Ryo, why are you not paying attention to me?” The girl on top of him asked in a purring like manner as she started nibbling on Ryo’s lower lip.
“Yeah Ryo, why are you disregarding us? Aren’t we enough for you?” The girl sitting on his side inquired, eyes glinting with malice as he got a hold of the Osakan’s hand and place it in between her thigh.
Nishikido can’t help but utter a silent thank you to the heavens above. He was damn fortunate to be showered with these kinds of opportunities. He responded to the girl’s nibbling on his lips, ravishing the latter’s mouth for the second time tonight. His hand which was situated on the other girl’s covered treasure started stroking the said jewel, poking and groping it from time to time. A duet of moans was heard from both of the girls.
Nishikido felt like he was in heaven here on earth. It sure was nice being wanted by every lass in the club. He won’t be having any problem on choosing a girl whom he can fuck for tonight. Come to think of it, he hasn’t been having any problem in that department for a long time now.
“Is that a boy or a girl? Whatever he or she is, he looks so damn beautiful!”
“Hands off man! I found him or her first! He’s mine!”
Nishikido immediately shoved the girl on top of him off, removing his hand from his current activity. In an instant, he searched for the guys whom he just heard. His face was crunched as he examined the faces of every guy surrounding him. He then shifted his sight to where he last saw Ueda. The latter was still there in that dimly lighted corner still carrying the heavy looking boxes.
He knew for some unknown reason that the person those guys were talking about was no other than this tired looking man who was busily working before him. Those guys were talking about Ueda. Those guys were talking about this copper haired, frail looking, girly man and this was making him furiously angry! Some unknown pig heads desired Tatsuya and it pissed him off so much! This time Nishikido was standing as he examined his surrounding again, making sure that he did not miss just one single man in the room. He looked so scary; deadly glares directed at every man he looked at, fist tightly clenched on his side as he observed anybody who was gazing at Tatsuya’s direction.
He heard the sweetly uttered protest of the girls around him. Their objections don’t matter to him. Those girls weren’t important. They could all go leave him be for tonight and he won’t even care. Something was far more important to him making his heart feel emotions he never thought he had for the person in concern.
“Ryo…” A girl said seductively as she launched herself in the man’s body, wiggling her way into the Osakan’s embrace. Ryo voiced out a cuss as he tried to detached the clinging girl on to him. As he was trying to release the lady’s tight hold on his body, out of the corner of his eyes he saw two smirking men going over to Ueda’s direction.
“The hell! Get off me you bitch!” Nishikido bawled when he noticed that his efforts of disengaging the girl’s hold on him was fruitless. When the girl heard his protest, she clung on to the man tighter making Ryo angrier than he already was. He reverted his attention back at Ueda. His hated person was not in that dimly lit corner anymore and the stack of boxes that was seen lazing on the area was now gone. The said elder guy must have finished carrying all those cartons. He was now going inside the room Ryo had been seeing him enter awhile ago. Trailing behind him were the two smirking men, their grins were more evil as they got near their prey.
His stomach tightened, his vision starting to spin and he felt like he was knocked out of air as he saw the events slowly enfolding before him. His heart was palpitating very hard, beating so fast and strong that he even felt like it would jump out of his chest any minute. Those freakin’ bastards were really going after Ueda! They were walking slowly towards the room the latter was in; strutting the place as if they were just in some park and that they were not thinking of doing something horrific to someone in particular.
When Nishikido saw them went near the closed door of the room Tatsuya was in afterwards disappearing inside it, everything in him darken in an instant. He grabbed the arms of the girl which was still encircled around him, unsympathetically jostling her away like some insignificant thing as he stormed into the area around the corner.
Things seemed to happened in a flash of lightning. He went to the room where Tatsuya was only to be greeted by the sight of the said latter being pinned on the wall by one of the guys; his face mere inches away from Ueda while the other man, his companion, was grinning ghastly at what was happening before him. Statements of “Don’t be scared.”, “We’ll not hurt you.” and “You look too beautiful mind if you come and play with us tonight.” were the few lines Nishikido heard before he went on a rampage totally forgetting his logic and sense. One thing was certain in his mind; these damn bastards need to be beaten to death for saying, no- for even thinking of such dirty thoughts about his Hime.
Thunderous sounds of punches, kicks, hauling, pulling and any other bodily contacts were heard from the room. Cusses came floating in the air too after the panting of breathes were heard. Ryo was very furious! He looked like a monster that went on a killing spree. And even though he was totally outnumbered, knowing that it was just him against two men , and that his physical features weren’t that much of an advantage too for the guys before him were taller and bulkier than he was, amazingly so he was winning the brawl.
The man who pinned Ueda on the wall awhile ago was now lying on the floor, face beaten to a pulp and was near the state of losing his consciousness. His buddy, the one who was grinning like a hyena before, was in the clutches of Ryo’s tight grip. And just like what the dark-haired man do to the beaten guy on the ground, he was also mercilessly pounding on the totally helpless man.
“Fuck you, you freakin’ bastards! Who gave you the right to think of such thoughts about him?” Nishikido said in a gruff voice in between his punches, eyes glaring like a mad man.
“Nishikido that’s enough!” Ueda shouted with all his might, trying to stop the maddened man from further destroying his opponent’s face. He was grasping Ryo’s arm but the said man doesn’t seem to recognize him. Tatsuya was scared. He was too scared with what was happening before him. One minute, two guys were thinking something bad against him and the next minute the guy he loves was beating those men like some tenderized meat. He was happy that Ryo came to his rescue- even if Tatsuya knew he can very much handle the situation he was in before because it wasn’t the first time someone tried hitting on him, but the latter’s actions were starting to frightened him. It’s as if he was only program to beat the crap out of those shitless men and that he won’t stop unless he really did finish his task.
“Ryo!” With eyes closed shut, Ueda shouted at the top of his lungs as he tightened his grip more on the Osakan’s arm. “Please Ryo, stop it.” The elder guy pleaded in a voice so soft and full of fear. It took more than a couple of minutes before Tatsuya’s statement registered on Nishikido’s mind.
Sweat dropping down his face, breathing still erratic and knuckles covered with a little blood, Nishikido glanced at the direction of his Hime. Ueda’s face looked was so pale of fear and Ryo’s heart plummeted to depths immeasurable making him tightened his grip on his rival’s collar. He also noticed Tatsuya’s tensed hold on his limb and this broke his heart. Ueda Tatsuya was looking so vulnerable and he wasn’t of help to the elder guy. The heck, he could even be the cause of the fear he saw in the latter’s eyes. After all, he just went ballistic almost making these two guys with them lifeless. He did this to Ueda! He did this to Tatsuya, his Hime , and he felt like shit!
Ryo harshly dropped the man he was clutching on to the solid tiled floor as an audible thud was heard in the now soundless room. “Don’t you ever come near him again or you’ll get more than what you have now!” The dark haired Osakan commanded with a booming voice as he gazed fiercely at his out cold foe. Wanting to have an affirmation from the latter, Ryo crouched on the floor as he strongly shook his rival hard until the latter awoke for a couple of seconds. Nishikido repeated his order for the second time still shaking the said man as he waited for the other’s reply. A whisper like “uhnn” was heard from the cut lip of the sprawled man on the floor and this made Nishikido so pleased. He slowly got up from his squatting position as he exhaled a loud sigh of relief.
“Why are you here?” Ryo asked Ueda, back facing the latter as traces of displeasure could be heard from his tone.
“Are you ok?” Tatsuya answered Ryo’s question with another question, stuttering a little as he eyed the short man before him with a look full of concern and worry. He hesitantly reached his hand out to touch the latter’s hand but later on withdrew due to lack of confidence.
“I’m asking you why you are here. Don’t answer my question with another freakin’ question.” Nishikido responded, voice rose a little higher and ire quite unmistakable in his pitch.
“What do you think I’m doing? I’m working here dammit!” Tatsuya unintentionally snapped back at Ryo. His eyes were fixed on the younger one’s solid backside.
“Then find a place wherein you won’t get molested!” Ryo retorted back to the elder, irritation still lingering in his voice.
“In case you didn’t know, I can very well defend myself. You don’t need to come to my rescue!” The copper haired man replied with such sourness in his tone.
Ueda didn’t mean what he said. In all honesty, he was very happy Ryo came to his rescue. Who wouldn’t be happy if the person they loved saved them from apparent danger? He was happy. He was too damn pleased that the short guy before him pounded those two men. But when Ryo asked him why he was here in a tone so heartless and insulting, he cracked. Couldn’t this man before him ever talk to him in a civil manner? The Osakan beat the hell out of those guys and he also did put his life in danger then his life must mean something to the former. If that was true, assuming that it really was true, then why was he mad? It’s not like Ueda asked those men to desire and flirt with him.
A snort was heard, rousing him from his thoughts. “Defend yourself?’ Nishikido asked in a very sarcastic tone as he faced the older one, one brow held higher than the other and an irritating smirk plastered on his face. “You called having your back against the wall and looking all too defenseless as defending yourself? Since when did becoming feeble become a guarding technique? You’re not only weak but you’re also dumb and stupid! You should be glad I saved you from them!” Nishikido declared shouting as he glared at the other with such intense look.
Nishikido didn’t mean too! He really didn’t mean to bash at the older guy. He was just feeling all too guilty for causing such pain and fear in Tatsuya’s eyes that his immediate reaction was to deny being the reason for such pain. He knew Ueda was working here. What else could he be doing in such a place? Ueda was not the type of guy who wasted his time partying and being with random girls, oh wait -guys, for that matter.
Ueda was a serious individual, very hardworking, who preferred to study rather than to party. The copper haired man’s life revolved only in work and school and nothing else. That’s Ueda! That is Ueda Tatsuya, the person he despised so much. And surprisingly so, the person he cared enough for him to beat some random guys just because they tried hitting on him.
Ryo should be confused as to what his feelings and what he just did for the girly looking man before him but he was not. He wasn’t confused - or he could be? He was not so certain anymore. He hated Ueda and a tiny speck of him kept declaring that he liked the guy. He like Ueda Tatsuya!
“It’s pointless having this clash with you. I think it’s better if we leave now Nishikido. They could have brought with them their gang. It would be very unfavorable for us.” Ueda suggested in a very calm voice so unlike the voice that he expressed just awhile ago. He also looked directly at Ryo’s eyes having the same concentration as with the latter. They both stared at each other’s eyes for a long five minutes until Ryo decided to end the staring as he started pacing towards the room’s opening. While walking, he arranged his outfit, wiping some of the blood covering his knuckles. Ueda carefully followed him behind as he stared at the former’s back from time to time.
They went passed the counter, around the dance floor as they tried avoiding as many people as possible while passing by the seat Nishikido occupied a couple of minutes ago. The girl that latched on Ryo before hauled herself again to the said dark haired man, putting her arms around the latter’s neck as she inched her face closer. Anyone could see that the girl was helplessly desperate to have the attention of the said guy back at her. But her action led her to a more opposite result. Nishikido had a scowl on his face as he pried the girl’s hold away from his neck. Ryo stormed out of the club leaving the girl in shock and disappointment as he was being timidly followed by Ueda.

CHAPTER 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14
CHAPTER 15
A loud upbeat music was blaring from the speakers surrounding the four corners of the cramped up room. Lights flickering from red, yellow, blue and other bright colors were the only source of illumination in the dark space. The air inside the room felt so thick and suffocating hot that one could even perceive a thick cloud around the room. From where Nishikido was sitting, he could see people dancing their bodies to their heart’s content, grinding the most intimate body parts that they have with the person dancing before, behind and even on their sides. This was the place where he was supposed to feel at ease, relaxed; leaving his worries behind him. The fight that he had with Jin a couple of days ago was still not settled. Ryo firmly believed that it wasn’t his fault. He was not the one who immediately snapped at someone and suddenly grabbing the other by the collar. And it was not his fault that he hated Ueda from the depths of his being. The guy just kept emitting a “You should hate me!” aura or was Nishikido the only one seeing that aura the older guy seemed to be emitting?
Jin knew him better. Jin should have known him better! The heck, Jin was his best friend for almost a decade now! His baka friend knew his perks, quirkiness, weirdness and Jin surely knew his past. Akanishi should have understood his approach on the said guy, Ueda Tatsuya. The copper haired man just reminded him of the girl that he once loved. The bitch that he willingly offered his heart too but she just up and broke it without any consideration. Nishikido really hated reminiscing about the past. There was nothing good and beautiful worth recalling.
This was actually the very first time that Akanishi and him had a serious fight. Oh, they do fight! There was even an incident in the past wherein their faces were so swollen, blood trickling at the corner of their mouths and bruises all over their face and body after they decided out of urge, for they could not remember what actually started the fist fight in the first place, to make the others their punching bag. Fighting was not new to them both! Fighting was a common thing among them three; Akanishi, Yamapi and him. But this was the first time that he saw his best friend so pissed at something he did.
Did he go overboard with his treatment of Ueda? He just lashed at the older guy every time they meet. That wasn’t a new thing! He reduce the latter’s existence to something unworthy of being associated to him. That also was a fact but it wasn’t worth being so agitated about! Him being unkind to Ueda, him being a bastard to the latter and him plainly hating the older guy’s existence was very normal so why did his best friend explode like a volcano? Could he be…….Nah, Nishikido knew that his baka friend was head over heels in love with his turtle! So what caused the former’s sudden outburst?
Ryo recalled that moment when Jin grabbed him by the neck and started throwing words of hurt and insult. He acknowledged the spiteful words his best friend said but it doesn’t mean that he was hurt by the terms uttered at him. He acknowledged it. Yes it’s true! But him being hurt was a different thing. He could have done better than Akanishi! After all, he was not known as the poison tongue for nothing.
“….my friend Tatsuya” Jin surely treasured his friends. He would even go to the extent of beating even his very own best friend just to protect a friend. Come to think of it, since when did Akanishi and that girly looking man became that “close”. Those two were acquaintance, friends if you put it in a more intimate term, but since when did that baka became all too protective of the other?
Kamenashi….He must be the reason why Jin acted like that! Kamenashi was the best friend of Ueda and a Kamenashi worrying over the state of a certain copper haired man was not a good sight to look at for his overly in love boyfriend Akanishi. Anything that Kamenashi will act, do and feel can and will affect Jin! Kame must have had it all in him, piled up within his heart, to make Jin suddenly explode just like what he did.
And to think the fight started all because he just called Tat-chan; no wait, erase that! And since when did he start calling that good for nothing guy by his nickname! The fight erupted just because he called Ueda Hime. The man just looks like a girl and he sure acts like some royalty with his air of elegance and…beauty!
The heck! Nishikido was starting to become irritated with himself! Awhile ago, he called the person he hated so much by his nickname and now he’s saying that the very person that he abhors; in some ways, kind of in a very tiny, nano-like size, looks beautiful. And damn he really didn’t know what came over him!
Ueda’s a pain in the butt. His existence was a mere reminder of the person that he despised so much! But he knew that it wasn’t the older man’s fault. He knew it from the start. Even before harsh words came pouring out of his mouth, he already knew that it wasn’t the latter’s mistake. Even before hate took its roots into his heart, he already knew that the guy was innocent. But can you blame him if he hated Ueda? It’s like what one’s feels towards a cockroach. The ugly looking creature didn’t do anything to make us despise him but we hate him so much we even enjoyed killing it. Ueda’s not a cockroach and he surely doesn’t want to kill the elder but he can’t help but hate the latter.
It’s all because of her; Atsuko!
Today was Nishikido’s birthday. It’s not like he was looking forward to this day, he actually doesn’t care whether this day came or not. But things changed when he met Atsuko. Atsuko was his life, his very being! Without Atsuko he felt like he will die. He had evening class that day that was why when his class ended earlier than what was scheduled, he immediately went to his apartment, more of like the apartment that he shared with his best friends; Jin and Yamapi. He planned on making a special late dinner for him and Atsuko even if he wasn’t that certain the girl would eat the food he will be making. Hey, it’s the thought that counts right? So it’s a OK! Even if he should be the one being lavished with attention and surprise today because it was his special day, he actually doesn’t mind doing the lavishing to his girl friend. He will do it every day if Atsuko will ask him to, occasion or not.
Before going directly to his apartment, he passed by the convenience store near their house to buy the necessary ingredients for the meal he planned on cooking. He was humming a very melodic song as he trailed the road leading to his destination. It was very undeniable, based on the expression the Osakan was showing in his face, that he was definitely happy; very happy indeed!
He was still humming a song, shifting the bags from his hand to his other free hand as he tried opening the door to their residence. He was still in deep thought about the menu he would be cooking while placing the grocery bag at the kitchen counter. After a couple of minutes when the silence of the atmosphere registered in his mind, he heard a faint sound. His eyebrow immediately arched up as he surveyed the place he was in. Nothing was disturbed from their position and surely he didn’t notice anything missing. He thought that his imagination must be playing tricks on him, making him hear things which were not there.
He continued with his ministrations in the kitchen this time taking out all the items out of the bag. After a few minutes, Nishikido heard again that disturbing noise; disturbing because it sounded like someone was in pain.
He should have believed in Jin when the latter said that there was something eerie in their apartment. When Akanishi told them that he heard moaning, crying and some weird noises in their room, Ryo assumed that his baka best friend could either be hallucinating or his brain just went kapoof after being overworked. Ryo was very doubtful with Akanishi’s statement. The latter always said those things after exams and him being more logical and well minded compared to Jin and Pi and since he knew those two very well, decided to disregard every word Jin said.
The noise was getting louder and louder each second and Ryo’s eyebrow was inching higher and higher as it matched the noisy sound. He carefully placed the grocery items he got out from the bag, grabbing a bat around the corner of the kitchen as his eyes surveyed the inside of the apartment. He looked from left to right, front and back. There was no one with him in the room and he was pretty sure the door was locked before and after he went inside the room. Cold air passed over him making him shiver unconsciously. A soft cuss escaped his lips as he keenly observed the room for the second time.
When he heard the noise another time, he immediately followed the source of the said clamor. He went out of the kitchen, through their living room while passing Akanishi and Yamashita’s rooms. The noise was sounding thunderous as he went near his room.
“What the!?! There’s a ghost inside my room?!? And to think I was very adamant about that kind of things!” Ryo mentally expressed his opinion. He was crunching his face, tightly gripping the bat and raising it high in the air in preparation for the attack he planned on making that was if someone will attack him and if he can hit his attacker with a solid object.
“Uhn…Harder….”
Nishikido’s eyes popped. Was the ghost doing the thing he was thinking they were doing? Could ghost even do that in the first place? He raised his right hand as he scratched the back of his head looking all the more confused and surprised. A moan vibrated in the atmosphere this time more feminine than what he thought he heard before. Goosebumps crept over his body making him clasp his quivering body. Suddenly, realization hit him like a speeding truck. Ghosts were doing each other in his room, on his bed!
In the speed of light, he grabbed the door knob turning it to the side but he felt like a bucket of ice cold water was dropped on his body when he heard what was said next. Someone uttered Atsuko’s name, his beloved girl friend’s name! Nishikido immediately disregarded his feeling of doubt but curiosity was getting the best out of him. With shaking hands, he continued turning the door knob, slowly opening the said entrance, making sure that no sound was heard from his exploitation.
His body was ice cold but his blood was boiling. He felt angry but guilty at the same time. On his bed lay his beloved Atsuko all naked and sweaty; being fucked by some repulsive looking guy. His Atsuko was moaning under that ugly man, asking the latter to do her hard. He saw his world crumble right before his very eyes. His hold on the bat was becoming tighter every time he heard her moan and he saw the man doing his girl.
Today was his birthday! Today was supposed to be a great day for him! But why? Why did this happen? What did he do wrong? He gave his everything to Atsuko; time, attention, love and even money even if he only had a few to begin with. He gave everything and now he felt like he was left with nothing!
It was a very big surprise for Akanishi and Yamapi when Ryo told them what happened. Oh no, they weren’t surprised about Nishikido’s girl friend. They already knew about her true color. The girl even had the nerve to ask them to sleep around with her when Ryo wasn’t with their group. What surprised them was the knowledge that Ryo didn’t kill the cheating bastards after what he saw. Ryo had a very poisonous tongue and a flaring temper to match so it was very shocking for them to hear that he just let those two off.
“You knew?” Nishikido asked his two best friends when he asked them to meet him in a café near their apartment. Jin and Yamapi were eyeing him intently afterwards giving each other a worried look, taunting the other to answer their friend’s question first. Ryo was looking dejected, eyes directed at the table they were in, hands playing with what they deemed to be a ketchup container as Akanishi forced Yamashita, more of like Jin pouting his mouth as he pointed it from Ryo’s direction to Pi then vice versa. Yamapi countered his best friend’s act with a very dangerous glare then mouthing a “Why me? You do it!” to the latter.
“Ahh…yes, we knew.” Akanishi answered in a soft voice as he finally gave in to Yamapi’s threatening stare while he avoided looking at his other best friend’s direction.
“Since when?” Nishikido inquired still not looking at his companion, his hand still occupied at the ketchup container.
“A couple of months now…” Jin replied this time daring to take a peek at the depressed Osakan.
“How?” The known doukon asked in a voice devoid of any emotions.
“She kind of…ah…asked us to sleep with her when…you were not around.” Jin replied nervousness evident in the tone of his voice as he kept on fidgeting with his hands. Both of them noticed the tightened grip Ryo was applying to the bottle after Jin answered the question.
“And you didn’t tell me?” Nishikido asked hurt was apparent in his tone as he glanced at Jin for the very first time tonight.
“We planned on telling you but somehow…we didn’t know how to.” Akanishi replied with all honesty and sincerity as he looked at his friend’s eyes directly.
“And you just let her made a fool out of me!” Nishikido snapped anger was apparent in his features and words.
“Ryo we really did plan on telling you about her infidelities! We were even racking our brains off just thinking on how we’ll tell you. Even this baka almost had his brain go haywire just thinking on ways on how we’ll tell you but we know you Ryo. We know you too damn well we know how you’ll react.” Tomohisa defended their action.
They, Jin and Yamapi, really did plan on telling their best friend the truth but they perceived the latter wouldn’t listen to them. They knew Ryo would just go berserk and would automatically assume that they were just jealous of what he has, had for that matter now. They hated seeing their friend being toyed by a bitch who was not worthy even having a second of Nishikido’s attention and love but they comprehended that what they would be telling the latter would just be futile. You can’t force someone to accept what you declared. The heck, it would be more fruitful if you hit your head on the wall rather than trying to convince Ryo that what you proclaimed was true.
Nishikido could hear the music become livelier as the dance floor became more crowded. A girl was sprawled on top of him, caressing his chest, making light feathered circles as the former pressed herself on him more. Another girl was nibbling his ear as Ryo stroked her arm tenderly.
“This is life!” Ryo voiced out as he eyed the girls surrounding him; alluring, lovely ladies that would do anything he would ask them too. A smile sneaked into his lips as he basked himself with the euphoric sensuality of the atmosphere he was in. He grabbed the lady lying on his chest afterwards kissing her senselessly. He heard the girl moan as he continued ravishing the latter’s mouth. He heard the ladies surrounding him protests as they also wanted to have the same treatment the one lucky girl was experiencing. He displayed a smirk as he felt how wanted he was.
But his smirk immediately vanished when he saw someone before him; someone who looks utterly familiar to him. Copper colored hair, a body which looked so frail but in truth was as strong as an ox, skin as white as snow…His eyes almost popped out from its sockets when he realized who that recognizable person was.
“Ueda?” His mind expressed as he looked so surprise upon what he saw. His eyes trailed the man before him, eyeing his every move and totally forgetting the girls on top and around him. Nishikido observed the older guy as he busied himself carrying some large boxes as he went back and forth from the room around the corner and back at the slightly illuminated space a couple of meters away from the counter. A bulky looking guy dressed in a black and white suit which Ryo assumed to be one of the bosses in the club, looked more of like a gangster rather than the respective business man he was trying to portray, was standing beside Ueda, pointing his fingers at the latter and from time to time would shout at the younger man as Ryo assumed was his way of giving orders to the nervous Ueda.
He saw the burly looking man grabbed Ueda’s arm as the frail looking man tightly gripped the box around his arm. The manager shoved the latter to the direction of the room the girly-looking man had been frequenting.
Anger started to boil within him as his eyes surveyed the guy whom he despised being treated like some slave. It’s true that he was cruel to the older guy but he never did went to the extent of treating the girly looking man as a serf. Since when did Ueda start working in the bar he visited regularly? He wasn’t able to have a night life these past few days since it was exam week and he really didn’t feel like partying since the thing between him and Jin started.
Was the latter that destitute for cash that he would even work at this kind of place? Places like these don’t fit Ueda. Even if he hated the man, he still doesn’t want to see him being insulted the way he was being insulted in this pub.
“Ryo, why are you not paying attention to me?” The girl on top of him asked in a purring like manner as she started nibbling on Ryo’s lower lip.
“Yeah Ryo, why are you disregarding us? Aren’t we enough for you?” The girl sitting on his side inquired, eyes glinting with malice as he got a hold of the Osakan’s hand and place it in between her thigh.
Nishikido can’t help but utter a silent thank you to the heavens above. He was damn fortunate to be showered with these kinds of opportunities. He responded to the girl’s nibbling on his lips, ravishing the latter’s mouth for the second time tonight. His hand which was situated on the other girl’s covered treasure started stroking the said jewel, poking and groping it from time to time. A duet of moans was heard from both of the girls.
Nishikido felt like he was in heaven here on earth. It sure was nice being wanted by every lass in the club. He won’t be having any problem on choosing a girl whom he can fuck for tonight. Come to think of it, he hasn’t been having any problem in that department for a long time now.
“Is that a boy or a girl? Whatever he or she is, he looks so damn beautiful!”
“Hands off man! I found him or her first! He’s mine!”
Nishikido immediately shoved the girl on top of him off, removing his hand from his current activity. In an instant, he searched for the guys whom he just heard. His face was crunched as he examined the faces of every guy surrounding him. He then shifted his sight to where he last saw Ueda. The latter was still there in that dimly lighted corner still carrying the heavy looking boxes.
He knew for some unknown reason that the person those guys were talking about was no other than this tired looking man who was busily working before him. Those guys were talking about Ueda. Those guys were talking about this copper haired, frail looking, girly man and this was making him furiously angry! Some unknown pig heads desired Tatsuya and it pissed him off so much! This time Nishikido was standing as he examined his surrounding again, making sure that he did not miss just one single man in the room. He looked so scary; deadly glares directed at every man he looked at, fist tightly clenched on his side as he observed anybody who was gazing at Tatsuya’s direction.
He heard the sweetly uttered protest of the girls around him. Their objections don’t matter to him. Those girls weren’t important. They could all go leave him be for tonight and he won’t even care. Something was far more important to him making his heart feel emotions he never thought he had for the person in concern.
“Ryo…” A girl said seductively as she launched herself in the man’s body, wiggling her way into the Osakan’s embrace. Ryo voiced out a cuss as he tried to detached the clinging girl on to him. As he was trying to release the lady’s tight hold on his body, out of the corner of his eyes he saw two smirking men going over to Ueda’s direction.
“The hell! Get off me you bitch!” Nishikido bawled when he noticed that his efforts of disengaging the girl’s hold on him was fruitless. When the girl heard his protest, she clung on to the man tighter making Ryo angrier than he already was. He reverted his attention back at Ueda. His hated person was not in that dimly lit corner anymore and the stack of boxes that was seen lazing on the area was now gone. The said elder guy must have finished carrying all those cartons. He was now going inside the room Ryo had been seeing him enter awhile ago. Trailing behind him were the two smirking men, their grins were more evil as they got near their prey.
His stomach tightened, his vision starting to spin and he felt like he was knocked out of air as he saw the events slowly enfolding before him. His heart was palpitating very hard, beating so fast and strong that he even felt like it would jump out of his chest any minute. Those freakin’ bastards were really going after Ueda! They were walking slowly towards the room the latter was in; strutting the place as if they were just in some park and that they were not thinking of doing something horrific to someone in particular.
When Nishikido saw them went near the closed door of the room Tatsuya was in afterwards disappearing inside it, everything in him darken in an instant. He grabbed the arms of the girl which was still encircled around him, unsympathetically jostling her away like some insignificant thing as he stormed into the area around the corner.
Things seemed to happened in a flash of lightning. He went to the room where Tatsuya was only to be greeted by the sight of the said latter being pinned on the wall by one of the guys; his face mere inches away from Ueda while the other man, his companion, was grinning ghastly at what was happening before him. Statements of “Don’t be scared.”, “We’ll not hurt you.” and “You look too beautiful mind if you come and play with us tonight.” were the few lines Nishikido heard before he went on a rampage totally forgetting his logic and sense. One thing was certain in his mind; these damn bastards need to be beaten to death for saying, no- for even thinking of such dirty thoughts about his Hime.
Thunderous sounds of punches, kicks, hauling, pulling and any other bodily contacts were heard from the room. Cusses came floating in the air too after the panting of breathes were heard. Ryo was very furious! He looked like a monster that went on a killing spree. And even though he was totally outnumbered, knowing that it was just him against two men , and that his physical features weren’t that much of an advantage too for the guys before him were taller and bulkier than he was, amazingly so he was winning the brawl.
The man who pinned Ueda on the wall awhile ago was now lying on the floor, face beaten to a pulp and was near the state of losing his consciousness. His buddy, the one who was grinning like a hyena before, was in the clutches of Ryo’s tight grip. And just like what the dark-haired man do to the beaten guy on the ground, he was also mercilessly pounding on the totally helpless man.
“Fuck you, you freakin’ bastards! Who gave you the right to think of such thoughts about him?” Nishikido said in a gruff voice in between his punches, eyes glaring like a mad man.
“Nishikido that’s enough!” Ueda shouted with all his might, trying to stop the maddened man from further destroying his opponent’s face. He was grasping Ryo’s arm but the said man doesn’t seem to recognize him. Tatsuya was scared. He was too scared with what was happening before him. One minute, two guys were thinking something bad against him and the next minute the guy he loves was beating those men like some tenderized meat. He was happy that Ryo came to his rescue- even if Tatsuya knew he can very much handle the situation he was in before because it wasn’t the first time someone tried hitting on him, but the latter’s actions were starting to frightened him. It’s as if he was only program to beat the crap out of those shitless men and that he won’t stop unless he really did finish his task.
“Ryo!” With eyes closed shut, Ueda shouted at the top of his lungs as he tightened his grip more on the Osakan’s arm. “Please Ryo, stop it.” The elder guy pleaded in a voice so soft and full of fear. It took more than a couple of minutes before Tatsuya’s statement registered on Nishikido’s mind.
Sweat dropping down his face, breathing still erratic and knuckles covered with a little blood, Nishikido glanced at the direction of his Hime. Ueda’s face looked was so pale of fear and Ryo’s heart plummeted to depths immeasurable making him tightened his grip on his rival’s collar. He also noticed Tatsuya’s tensed hold on his limb and this broke his heart. Ueda Tatsuya was looking so vulnerable and he wasn’t of help to the elder guy. The heck, he could even be the cause of the fear he saw in the latter’s eyes. After all, he just went ballistic almost making these two guys with them lifeless. He did this to Ueda! He did this to Tatsuya, his Hime , and he felt like shit!
Ryo harshly dropped the man he was clutching on to the solid tiled floor as an audible thud was heard in the now soundless room. “Don’t you ever come near him again or you’ll get more than what you have now!” The dark haired Osakan commanded with a booming voice as he gazed fiercely at his out cold foe. Wanting to have an affirmation from the latter, Ryo crouched on the floor as he strongly shook his rival hard until the latter awoke for a couple of seconds. Nishikido repeated his order for the second time still shaking the said man as he waited for the other’s reply. A whisper like “uhnn” was heard from the cut lip of the sprawled man on the floor and this made Nishikido so pleased. He slowly got up from his squatting position as he exhaled a loud sigh of relief.
“Why are you here?” Ryo asked Ueda, back facing the latter as traces of displeasure could be heard from his tone.
“Are you ok?” Tatsuya answered Ryo’s question with another question, stuttering a little as he eyed the short man before him with a look full of concern and worry. He hesitantly reached his hand out to touch the latter’s hand but later on withdrew due to lack of confidence.
“I’m asking you why you are here. Don’t answer my question with another freakin’ question.” Nishikido responded, voice rose a little higher and ire quite unmistakable in his pitch.
“What do you think I’m doing? I’m working here dammit!” Tatsuya unintentionally snapped back at Ryo. His eyes were fixed on the younger one’s solid backside.
“Then find a place wherein you won’t get molested!” Ryo retorted back to the elder, irritation still lingering in his voice.
“In case you didn’t know, I can very well defend myself. You don’t need to come to my rescue!” The copper haired man replied with such sourness in his tone.
Ueda didn’t mean what he said. In all honesty, he was very happy Ryo came to his rescue. Who wouldn’t be happy if the person they loved saved them from apparent danger? He was happy. He was too damn pleased that the short guy before him pounded those two men. But when Ryo asked him why he was here in a tone so heartless and insulting, he cracked. Couldn’t this man before him ever talk to him in a civil manner? The Osakan beat the hell out of those guys and he also did put his life in danger then his life must mean something to the former. If that was true, assuming that it really was true, then why was he mad? It’s not like Ueda asked those men to desire and flirt with him.
A snort was heard, rousing him from his thoughts. “Defend yourself?’ Nishikido asked in a very sarcastic tone as he faced the older one, one brow held higher than the other and an irritating smirk plastered on his face. “You called having your back against the wall and looking all too defenseless as defending yourself? Since when did becoming feeble become a guarding technique? You’re not only weak but you’re also dumb and stupid! You should be glad I saved you from them!” Nishikido declared shouting as he glared at the other with such intense look.
Nishikido didn’t mean too! He really didn’t mean to bash at the older guy. He was just feeling all too guilty for causing such pain and fear in Tatsuya’s eyes that his immediate reaction was to deny being the reason for such pain. He knew Ueda was working here. What else could he be doing in such a place? Ueda was not the type of guy who wasted his time partying and being with random girls, oh wait -guys, for that matter.
Ueda was a serious individual, very hardworking, who preferred to study rather than to party. The copper haired man’s life revolved only in work and school and nothing else. That’s Ueda! That is Ueda Tatsuya, the person he despised so much. And surprisingly so, the person he cared enough for him to beat some random guys just because they tried hitting on him.
Ryo should be confused as to what his feelings and what he just did for the girly looking man before him but he was not. He wasn’t confused - or he could be? He was not so certain anymore. He hated Ueda and a tiny speck of him kept declaring that he liked the guy. He like Ueda Tatsuya!
“It’s pointless having this clash with you. I think it’s better if we leave now Nishikido. They could have brought with them their gang. It would be very unfavorable for us.” Ueda suggested in a very calm voice so unlike the voice that he expressed just awhile ago. He also looked directly at Ryo’s eyes having the same concentration as with the latter. They both stared at each other’s eyes for a long five minutes until Ryo decided to end the staring as he started pacing towards the room’s opening. While walking, he arranged his outfit, wiping some of the blood covering his knuckles. Ueda carefully followed him behind as he stared at the former’s back from time to time.
They went passed the counter, around the dance floor as they tried avoiding as many people as possible while passing by the seat Nishikido occupied a couple of minutes ago. The girl that latched on Ryo before hauled herself again to the said dark haired man, putting her arms around the latter’s neck as she inched her face closer. Anyone could see that the girl was helplessly desperate to have the attention of the said guy back at her. But her action led her to a more opposite result. Nishikido had a scowl on his face as he pried the girl’s hold away from his neck. Ryo stormed out of the club leaving the girl in shock and disappointment as he was being timidly followed by Ueda.
