CHAPTER 6:
KAZE
I watched Aiba as he attempted to play with my beloved DS. I was watching him closely because 1) he might break it; 2) I still could not forget his murmurs the other night.
“Eh? I died again?” he said with an innocent voice. He looked at me as if looking for an answer. I was letting him sit on my chair while I sat on the stool. No one was inside the room except for the two of us.
“You do suck in this kind of game, Aiba-chan,” I said with a smirk. He pouted at me.
He sighed. “I guess Kaze-san beats me in three kinds of games…”
Three? Why did he say that? The first one was probably about fighting, the second one about the DS. What was the third one?
My mind was lifted from those thoughts when I saw Leader enter. He saw the two of us and he gave his teasing smile that I really hated.
“How’s the newlyweds?” he asked. I glared at him in reply. Aiba probably did not hear him because he was busy beating the final boss (in the first level because he really sucked at it). “You two were so noisy last night I could not sleep!”
Yeah, Aiba-chan also started to live in the same flat. I really did not know where he lived before that but Leader told me he found him sleeping in a boat before.
The other three kings entered the room an hour later and we just stayed there and did our own thing. I watched as Aiba tried to converse with the others. He seemed to be really comfortable with Toma because in reality, he was really a nice person if you don’t provoke him. Aiba was trying to wrestle the small pocket knife that the king used to peel apples.
“Leader…” I breathed out as I saw him clutch his forehead. “Are you okay?”
It was probably the trick of the light but I thought I saw his expression change from pain to joy. He hit his forehead a few times. “I’m gonna have a heat stroke if we stay in this room the whole day…” he said.
I dragged him up by the collar and said, “Hey, Leader, I think we should go out then,” I said. After Aiba came to the group, I thought I spent less time with our leader. I kinda miss fighting with him.
“What we gonna do?” he asked groggily.
“Have fun?” I slapped my forehead when I saw that glint in his eyes. “No, I’m not going to take you to the bay. I need to release tension. As in right now.”
Leader looked disappointed. I hated boats with a passion so I would not take him there. Definitely.
“Eh, Leader-chan and Kaze-san are leaving?” Aiba asked. He looked up at his game. I saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
“Uh, yeah,” I managed to say. “I leave you in charge, Matsujun.”
“Yeah, right. Whatever,” he just replied as he polished his skull ring. “I don’t really want to sweat right now so I’m gonna stay in this room. Fuck, it’s hot.”
“Buy an air conditioner then,” I snapped at the diva. He was the richest among us so if he could, he could actually donate air conditioner to our club room. I might consider living the school if he did.
“Toma, do take care of Aiba-chan for me,” I said. The man smiled and nodded.
“I brought some grapes. Hope he likes it,” he responded.
Leader stopped walking when we reached the tunnel below the bridge. “What’s wrong, Kaze? Nightmares?”
“Yeah, and more,” I replied. I picked up a rock and threw it to the river.
“But you seem to be at ease when you’re with Aiba…”
“Why did we even have to recruit him?” I asked the Arashi leader.
He gave an all-knowing smile. “Well, he’s strong. But he has a mind of a child.”
“He’s a high school student… with a mind of a child.”
“No, it’s not like that,” Leader replied. “He went through a lot of things. He’s strong but I want to control him. Not for my sake, but for his own sake.”
I nodded in agreement. “That… that kind of strength. He could actually kill someone if he loses control.”
“Yeah. That’s was what I was talking about,” he replied. He looked at me. “Have you seen him fight like that?”
I closed my eyes and recalled that night. “He was a monster.”
“Yeah, and I’m Kaibutsu-kun,” Leader replied while waving a hand floppily. I glared at him once again. “What? I love that anime!” I knew that he was trying to make the atmosphere lighter. I think he was successful because after a few seconds, I could not stop myself from laughing because he was singing the old anime’s theme song.
“There, there, Kaze-chan is laughing,” he said with a big grin. “Kaze, remember this. I know that Aiba is a monster. You are too, I am one too. But don’t forget that we’re high school students. As a high school student, we have all the liberty to have fun. Aiba-chan is having fun already. Why don’t you too?”
He cocked his head towards the park near the tunnel. They both saw Aiba along with the other three kings. They were playing with a stray dog. Aiba was actually the only one playing with the dog. Toma was laughing at him, Jun was on the bench, probably cursing the heat, and Pi was silently watching. I have noticed how piercing Pi’s eyes were when they fall on Aiba’s face. Yamapi was another thing, but this was the normal Pi.
“Leader, is there another reason why you asked me to recruit Aiba?” I asked, not looking at him. Things were getting more confusing. “Is there something you know that I don’t know?”
He shrugged. “I wonder.”
