Chapter Summary: Ch. 3-Tomoyo's big brother has been sneaking around lately and she wants to know what he's up to. Ch. 4-Kurogane's thoughts as he is forced to give Fai a piggyback ride.
I decided to post 3 and 4 together because they both are pretty short.
Chapter 3:
Hi. My name is Tomoyo Suwa. I have violet eyes and long black hair. I have a mom, a dad, and an older brother named Kurogane. I am fourteen years old. I am on a mission.
For the past two months or so, my older brother has been going to school (he’s a junior in high school while I’m an eighth grader), and coming home at like ten at night! Whenever my parents ask where he goes, he always tells them he’s at a friend’s house. There wasn’t anything particularly suspicious about this. He did have a few friends shockingly, Kamui and Subaru for example. Our parents aren’t meddling people, so they don’t pry, and they know they raised him good enough to know what is right and wrong and blah. However, my mom and I were talking, when she suggested that maybe my big brother had a special someone he was keeping from us. I immediately scoffed at the idea. Who could bear to put up with my temperamental, easily irked, bro?
So we made a bet. I get enough money for a new video camera if I win, and if I don’t, I go three months without allowance.
So that is how I ended up here, camcorder in hand, crouching behind a shrub near Horitsuba High tailing my brother.
My brother wasn’t very friendly…or nice…or polite so I knew that I would win the bet with mom. He was popular, in the bad boy type of way I guess with his jet black hair like mine (except his is spiky), tall build with bulging muscles that could probably punch through a solid brick wall if needed, and red eyes that made anyone intimidated. If you haven’t figured it out already, he’s most familiar with the Principal’s Office in school.
I was jolted back to earth when Kurogane started walking down the gray pavement in the opposite direction of our house. Keeping low, I kept up with him from across the street, hiding behind inanimate objects when necessary. However, when he turned the corner away from me, I knew I had a problem on my hands. I could cross the street and follow him, and risk being seen if he turns around, or, I could leave and start from a different part of the road tomorrow when I know he’s going to turn here again. I chose to keep going. I really wanted that camcorder.
After a few more turns, I lost sight of my older bro. I looked all around, but didn’t see him. He wasn’t that stealthy that he could just pull a disappearing act. I turned to the building I was standing next to. It was a small brick café called Cat’s Eye that was situated on a corner. It had a cheery and friendly look about it. I definitely knew my brother wasn’t in there. Still, I could take a look just in case. I leaned towards the window, but it was a bit dirty, so I tried to rub off the grime with my hand. Tilting my head, I could almost make out people inside, when I hit something hard.
“Ouch!” I turned my head to see bright blue eyes staring back at me. I jumped back in surprise. The owner of the charming irises did too. I gasped. His skin was pale white, he was lean, and he had white blonde hair that fell randomly across his forehead. He was wearing slightly tight jeans, Vans, and a blue T-shirt with a white dragon design. He was gorgeous of course, but not my type. After my initial shock, I said, “Sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
The angel responded, “It’s alright. I wasn’t looking either.”
I held out my hand. “I’m Tomoyo.”
He grasped it. “I’m Yuui. I’m actually here looking for my brother.”
I giggled. “I’m looking for mine too, big, muscular, mean-looking person named Kurogane. You haven’t seen anyone like that around have you?”
He laughed. “Sorry again, but no, you haven’t seen anyone who looks exactly like me have you? His name’s Fai.”
I shook my head. I would surely remember seeing someone like him. “You’re a twin?”
“Identical! Although you would never know I was a twin. He’s never around anymore and I decided it’s high time I figured out what he’s been doing without me!” He grinned.
I smiled. “That’s exactly why I’ve been looking for my brother. Actually, my mom and I have this bet going on about whether he’s seeing someone or not.”
He pointed to the café. “You think he might be in there?”
I replied, “Maybe. It doesn’t seem like the kind of place he would hang out though.”
We crouched down again and rubbed the dirt off the window. I gasped again. Among the few occupants, Kurogane was in there. He was sitting across from someone who looked alarmingly like the teen next to me, except for the fact that his T-shirt was white with a blue dragon design instead of vice versa. I turned my head to look at him to compare. Yep, they were exactly alike. I knew Yuui had recognized his brother too. I quickly held up my out of date camera to record this moment.
Yuui and I stared. Kurogane must’ve done something funny because-what was his name again? Oh yeah-Fai burst out laughing. I don’t think my bro had intended to be funny, because he balled his hands into fists and tensed as if he were about to punch this poor blonde out. I cringed, waiting for the blow. Surprisingly, nothing happened. Kurogane’s hands relaxed and the two continued to talk.
Fai’s mirror image chuckled next to me. “I knew it! I knew he liked someone! He just wouldn’t tell me who!”
I cast him an incredulous look. “Are you kidding? My brother has the temper of an active volcano! I’m scared for you’re brother’s safety,” I stated earnestly. Yuui laughed again.
“I’m more scared for your brother. My brother has more energy than twenty cans of Red Bull.”
“We’ll just see about that.”
We two peepers continued our observations. Fai continuously seemed to heat my brother to the boiling point, but Kurogane always calmed himself down, save for yelling at Fai pretty often. That was surprising. My brother usually wouldn’t have the tolerance for anyone this perky and chatty. I could testify to that from experience.
Minutes turned to hours without any major change. My body was getting a bit stiff from crouching against the window for so long. Pedestrians gave us funny looks when they passed, muttering “this town is full of weirdoes”. Finally, Fai stood up to go. Yuui and I ducked lower to avoid being caught. Just before grabbing his sweat jacket, Fai leaned down and planted a kiss Kurogane’s lips. My eyes went wide. Turning to my side, I saw that Yuui’s had too. We turned our heads back to the couple through the glass. Fai detached himself, and turned toward the door, leaving my brother looking very red in the face, but pleased looking. Yuui and I raced around the corner to avoid being spotted. We could hear Fai’s voice yell, “See you later, Kuro-tan!” and a faint protest from “Kuro-tan”. I resisted the urge to laugh. Thankfully, I had recorded all of my brother’s embarrassment onto a tape. I could use this for blackmail. Then, remembering the bet, my heart sank.
“Darn! This really stinks!”
Yuui turned to me. “What? Aren’t you happy for your brother?”
I pouted. “Of course I am! But I just lost the bet!”
“YOU MADE A FUCKING BET ABOUT ME?!”
Suddenly, Yuui and I were cast in a shadow. We looked up to see the livid (and red) face of Kurogane and the disgruntled face of Fai.
My partner in crime and I cast a glance at each other with the same thought running through our heads.
“RUN!”
Chapter 4:
Eleven year old Youou Kurogane didn’t know how things had come to this. It wasn’t his job to baby-sit some hyperactive blonde idiot. Just because they were next door neighbors didn’t make them automatically best friends! So he had no idea why he had ended up carrying the idiot named Fai D. Fluorite home from school’s soccer game. He replayed the day’s events in his head…
“Youou, hurry up! It’s time to go!” Mrs. Kurogane shouted up the stairs to her son.
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” A young, disgruntled boy stomped down the stairs, clad in a maroon and white soccer jersey with matching shorts. He clutched, in his hands, a pair of cleats that he had yet to put on. His mother passed him a water bottle, and hurried him out the door so he wouldn’t be late for his game. Kurogane sat on his stoop, shoved his shoes on his feet, and took off down the sidewalk for the park. He hurried because if he didn’t, he’d be caught by…
“Kuro-tan! Wait for me!” A skinny blonde boy raced to join his fellow teammate with surprising speed. Kurogane made a face. This was the reason he’d wanted to hurry in the first place.
“What do you want stupid? We’ve got a game to get to. AND IF YOU CALL ME KURO-TAN ONE MORE TIME, I’LL BASH YOUR HEAD IN!”
Fai laughed. “I know we’ve got a game Kuro-myu, I wanted to walk with you!” Before the raven haired boy could yell at the blonde for nicknaming him again, he had skipped a bit ahead of his companion, and called over his shoulder, “Come on Kuro-chan, we’re going to be late if you keep dragging along like that!” Youou growled angrily and ran after the skinny, hypocritical boy.
The game was had been a tough one. Tomoeda had had a good team this year, what with the new boy Touya Kinomoto on their team. It was a good thing Kurogane was the best goalie in the league, and Fai was the fastest striker any coach had ever seen. They barely scraped the win. It was only because some big hulking defense-man had brutally pushed Fai to the ground, earning him a penalty kick which he effortlessly placed in the corner of the white net.
Walking back to his house, Kurogane cast a look down at the shorter boy. Fai was unusually silent which meant that something was wrong. He seemed to be walking with a slight limp on the leg he had fallen on. The blonde was also biting his lip, as if that would make him feel better.
Not knowing what possessed him to do this, Kurogane said, “Are you alright?”
Fai looked up and smiled. It was a fake and plastic smile that had "liar" written all over it. “I’m fine Kuro-sama!” Kurogane sighed. He stopped just long enough to grab the blonde and throw him onto his back. Even though the action was executed swiftly, he handled the skinny boy with extreme gentleness. Fai squealed with when he was suddenly hoisted into the air. Clasping his hands in a death grip around Kurogane’s neck, he buried his head in the boy’s surprisingly soft, spiky hair. Sighing happily, he whispered into the pack mule’s ear, “Thanks Kuro-chii.”
Kurogane just grunted. No way was he ever going to do something like this again.
“If you tell anyone I did this idiot, I’ll kill you.”
Fai just giggled. He laid his head back down, and within a minute, he was out cold.
So here he was, Kurogane Youou, the tough, insensitive mean guy, caring the Energizer Bunny on legs down the sidewalk. And it was really annoying him. It wasn’t that Fai was heavy, he was actually quite light. It was the fact that he had actually done something this nice. He didn’t generally do nice things for the people who made him crazy, namely Fai. But when that kid had pushed the blonde down, he had felt a very strong pull to punch him into next Thursday. And he was sort of getting used to having the hyper boy around. Fai never left him alone anyway. Maybe he was actually starting to like the boy on his back. He was nice to him when everyone else just cowered in fear.
The tan boy mentally kicked himself for thinking such thoughts. There was NO WAY he was going to be friends with Fai. It just wasn’t right!
You keep telling yourself that…mocked a voice in the back of Kurogane’s head that sounded suspiciously like his mom’s friend Yuuko Ichihara. He chose to ignore the voice and forced himself to think manly and tough thoughts all the way home.
