Chapter 09
Were still in Uruha's room, waiting for him to get out of the shower. I called Kai not too long ago and told him to go home without me. He seemed worried but didn't ask any questions about my situations, which is not Kai-like at all. Normally, he would ask hundred of questions... And yell… and shout… and call me a little red pepper… and be mad… but it did not happen. So, uhm.. I am a little worried for his strange behavior… But I have other things to worry about right now…
Ruki and Reita are watching TV. Well, more like arguing for the remote control. Ruki wants to watch a game-show, and Reita wants to watch a movie. Are they always arguing for nothing? Uruha must be good to know how to get along with them… They are yelling… and shouting… and cursing… Ahh.. It is good to be young. And me… well, I’m sitting on Uruha’s bed, playing with Oblivion(Uruha’s guitar), though, I didn’t mind to plug it. My fingers start a sad melody that has been in my head for a while… I hear no more shouts from the two others, but my fingers don’t stop. I continue playing it, lyrics suddenly invading my brain. But then, a feeling of guilt make me stop, a guilt I’ve denied for a month…
"It was beautiful but sad, Aoi-san. Is it what your heart is feeling right now? Because if it is, I hope whatever problems that are troubling you will drain away." Ruki smiles at me, a sincere but sad smile. Reita stands up and give me a thumbs up. I smile at both of them. I’m glad Uruha has true friends like them.
"Though, I have a question," I disturb the peace(Okay, forget about the argument between Reita and Ruki), putting Oblivion aside. But I have to know. "is Gackt your gym teacher?" I ask, looking up at Reita for an answer. Reita grins. "It wouldn’t matter if he was or was not." He shrugs, making my eyebrows twitch. "Well… see. Uruha’s health is really fragile."
"What? How come?" I interrupt. Yes, I am worried.
"It’s nothing too dramatic, Aoi-san! I assure you… It’s.. well.. We don’t know if he was born with a weak health or if it’s a sickness or anything. Though, his doctor said it was for the best if Uruha didn’t physically forced himself, or else bad things may happen. This is the reason why his mother is so overprotective when it comes to him. " … Uruha has a weak health…? But… how is he supposed to have hard senseless sex?… *mental slap*
"You know…" Reita continues. "When Uruha’s father passed away last year, her mother was devastated. Not only her heart, but with his father’s company’s business and with her own job. But, what troubled her the most was Uruha. He is the only heir to the Kouyou’s family and after his father’s death or dismissal, it was said that he would take over the company by himself. The problem is, Uruha is not major yet and everyone knows about his health condition." Reita sits on the couch.
"… And his school grades too." Ruki says, making my head turn to him. "You know already. He is not that of a clever student. That’s the main reason why he is a victim to ijime in our class. He doesn’t have the grades to actually go to university or to take over the company. Don’t get me wrong. His mother is not ashamed of him. Not one bit. He is everything to her. But, sooner of later, Uruha will have to get married."
"Excuse me? Married?" I snap out of nowhere, earning a small chuckle from Ruki.
"Yes. Marriage is common knowledge, specially if you’re in a freaking rich family. May it be because of love or business. His mother is currently searching for a suitable wife for Uruha. Since the Heian period, it always has been like this, though, they were marrying young lords and princesses for territory. This time, it’s for social issues, wealth and support for the company."
"I… I don’t know what to say about all this…" I mutter.
"There is more to know about Uruha, but it’s better if it comes from his mouth. He doesn’t like it when people mention about his health or what happened before his father’s death. But don’t worry. I’m sure it won’t take long before he tells you himself." Reita says, walking off to the door. "I’m gonna go check on him, coming back." He turns to leave and I look at Ruki. Ruki is staring at Reita’s back until it can’t be seen anymore then frowns silently. He looks sad…
I lay my back on the bed, staring at the white ceiling. I put my right hand on my forehead and close my eyes. I guess I won’t be able to sleep well tonight either…

(Reita’s POV)
I have this feeling that something wrong is going to happen… Like, something that can not "unhappen", if it’s a word… It bothers me a lot. I have this funny feeling that, well, bad things are out there for everyone, including Uruha and Ruki. Maybe even myself. It makes my heart clench and, it’s a feeling that I bet no one wants to have.
I walk to the bathroom downstairs, but on my way, I see Uruha on the phone. My instincts tell me to hide the best I can in a corner and try to overhear the conversation. But the other instinct tells me to just stand there and wait for Uruha to finish the conversation and tell it to me afterwards. But… the first instinct is more fun. Okay. I’ll just hide and overhear.
"… But… what about me?" hey… I can hear very clearly. "… Can’t I decide what to do on my own?… No. I am sorry, mother… Okay, I will ask one of them. Yes. Oki. Good night." Okay… Now that he just hung the phone, I should run up to the others. I take a last glance at Uruha… He… Ok… I don’t know what happened but, he is rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands and… Oh no. Is he crying?
"Reita-kun..." Oh shit. He noticed me.
"Uru-chan.. What's wrong?" I ask, walking to him. He sits on the floor and hides his face with his hands. I sit next to him, rubbing his shoulders to make him know I'll support him.
"Reita-kun... If.. If you don't want me to be with Aoi-san, I.. I can understand..." Okay... What the fuck? "Uru-chan, what are you talking about?" He sobs quietly, putting his hands aside and looking at the ground. His tears are stained on his cheeks but no new ones have fell yet. "... I don't want you to tell me it's okay to love him... and then... say it's not okay on my back..." New tears are rolling down... Damn, I feel like shit. "Uru-chan, you know I'm not like this." "I know... but.. It's a feeling and and... I don't like it..." He rubs his tears away, then looks up at me. "Reita-kun... My mother will be away from home for a long time because she's searching for someone. She doesn't want to tell me because she says it's a surprise. But I know. I know she is looking for my soon-to-be wife." It had to happen sooner or later, but it hurts my heart too. His gaze fell down to the floor again. "... and, she wants me to stay at yours or Ruki's place until she comes back. I told her I could manage to be alone, but she was really mad and she snapped at me." Yeah... Her mom can sometimes be too over-protective.
"You know what, Uru-chan?" I ask with a little grin. His eyes meets mine again. "I know you don't want to bother me or Ruki-kun, and I understand your wants and needs to learn how to be independant, so... I have an idea that I think you will love." I say, giving him a thumbs up. He looks confused. So cute!
"Since your starting to developp a uge feeling for Aoi-san, and since Aoi-san really is worried about you, why don't he stay here until your mother comes back?"
