NEVER GIVE UP

When Things are Getting Better

"Hello Master, your breakfast is ready" Yamato said, entering the room which was occupied by an half-asleep boy who was looking very confused.

"Hello Miss Ishida" he said, yawning. He was having such a beautiful dream, which involved him and his maid. Yes, his. He had to blush at the thought.

Yamako was looking better than the day before. She must have eaten something this morning, thank God!

Yamato left the tray on the brunette's table. Then he directed to the bed to make it up. Taichi, meanwhile, was now completely awake and got up so his maid would have been able to do "her" work.

He sat on the table and began eating his food. While he was consummating it he kept looking at the beautiful in front of him. Without even thinking about it, he started a conversation, just to hear "her" voice.

"Did you sleep well Yamako? I can call you Yamako, can't I?" he asked, a bit arrogantly.

The blonde turned and smiling he nodded a yes.

"Only if I can call you Taichi" he blurted out, then closed the mouth regretfully. He feared he had been too impudent and that the brunette would have punished him because of this deficiency.

Instead, he smiled, his lips curving and his eyes sparkling.

"Of course you can! We're going to be friends now on, won't we? And friends call themselves with their first name" he told him "Anyway, you still haven't answered to my first question" he grinned.

"I slept very well, thanks. Actually, better than the usual" he lied. He hadn't slept well, he hadn't slept at all, but the couldn't tell this to his soon-to-be-friend, who was his employer too.

"And you Taichi, how was your night" he asked politely

Terrific. In fact I just kept thinking about you.

"The usual. I'm known to be a heavy-sleep person" he joked.

Then the silence fell. Nobody dared making a sound. Why? They didn't know. But they felt comfortable around each other, and felt that words were useless. In the air you could breathe so tranquillity and peaceful calm that you wouldn't have spoken even if it meant you would have saved your life. Well, maybe just to save your life.

Minutes went by. The scene which was presented was about a brunette boy who was eating very slowly, with his head turned to a blonde boy in a short black dress with a white apron and a crest on his golden locks. This boy had his back to the brunette and was cleaning up all the enormous room, which was very messed up.

When the blonde had turned questioningly to the brunette, Taichi had blushed miserably. It wasn't his fault if he was so untidy! It was just that when he looked for anything, that anything wasn't any near to be found, while it was always everywhere when he was looking for something else.

He blamed for this the previous maids, who left his clothes and his stuff where he didn't usually put it. Or better, threw it.

When Yamato finally finished cleaning up, he turned to face the brunette and remained speechless.

"Are you still eating?" he asked shocked

"Well…uh….ehm…"

"Don't you like it?" he asked worried

"No, it's just…that….that" Taichi tried to find an excuse. He couldn't tell it was because he had kept looking at him for all the time! "I…I guess I'm not that hungry" he lied.

"Oh.." the blonde said sceptic. How can someone not be hungry at the morning? (A/N= I can).

He shrugged. If Taichi didn't want to eat, who was he to force him?

"Are you sure you don't want it? Aren't you ill, are you?" he asked

"No, not all. Don't worry, I'm just fine" Taichi reassured Yamato.

"Oh, alright. I guess now I'll go back to the kitchens, so you can get dressed. When you're finished, just ring the bell and I'll come back" the blonde said, then picked up the half-full tray, opened the door and disappeared in the black corridor.

Taichi stared back after her. She was so, so…he didn't even know a word to express his feelings for her. Her golden locks who fell in a oh so adorable way on his left eye; her eyes, so blue, so warm, but so sad; he wished he could take that sadness away from her angelic face; her smile, so simple but in the same time so rich, so full of kindness and so melancholy; her fine body, so slender and sinuous, her so great-looking back…whoops, where did that come from?!

Taichi sighed. He wanted to badly hold that fragile frame in his arms, to take away the pain who he was sure filled every day her eyes with hot tears and tell her she was safe now; but he couldn't. he couldn't satisfy his dream because he was high-classed and she was just a girl from the country who found job in some rich person's house. Nor he was sure the blonde felt the same way towards him.

And then, there was this sensation…just a little thing in his head who kept telling him that Yamako was hiding something very important. But he couldn't tell if this was true or false.

Great, now I'm hearing voices. Just…who are you Yamako? What have you done to me?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Mom, there's a letter from Yamato!" Takeru exclaimed happily. He hadn't heard of his brother for ages. Well, actually it was just a week, but he missed his sibling terribly, and it felt like an eternity to him.

Natsuko smiled weakly, then coughed. He fever was still high and the food was almost completely finished, even though her younger son kept on giving her a big portion of his meal. And about medicines? None else remained. They were all long time gone. She was surviving thanks to infusions of grasses her son prepared for her. It was hard, very hard.

Takeru ran to his mother's room to read her the news.

Dear Takeru and Mom,

How are you two doing? I'm fine actually, just a bit tired. You would never guess who I met five days ago! Do you remember Mimi Tachikawa? Of course you do! Anyway, I met her and she invited me over. She asked if I was okay, if there was something wrong, how was everybody at home. I was kinda going to lie her a bit, just a bit, you know me. But you also know her, so she made me blurt out the nude truth. I think sometimes opening up a bit to the others is useful, because she had a job to propose me! She told me about it, but there was a problem. I accepted it anyways, because it was the only job I could get, so now I'm going to work for this rich, a certain Mamoru Yagami, who's the most powerful man in the District of Odaiba. They told me his house looks like a castle!

Anyway, the problem. Well…it's almost embarrassing actually…but it's better than nothing…

I…well…I will be Mr Yagami's son' personal maid. I'll have to dress up like a girl. Takeru, don't laugh. Or I'll come after you and haunt you for the rest of your days. Mom, I know you'll support me, so I'm not worried about it.

Mr Yagami told me that he will take care of you, both of you. You'll get all the food and medicines you need Mom! So you'll heal quickly and we'll all be together! He also said me he would have come to visit you, so absolutely tell him I'm a guy or I'll be kicked out and we'll be f**** up. *Language! Natsuko squeaked* whoops, sorry Mom, I didn't mean it!

I miss you terribly, I hope to see you again soon!

With Love

Forever Yours

Yamato

Takeru sighed miserably after reading the letter and felt so unhappy for his beloved brother, who had to suffer so much for them. Natsuko felt the same way, but she hoped that for her eldest son there weren't any more obstacles. He was already so depressed. He didn't say it, but she could tell, only just like a mother knows how.

A knock at the door interrupted their thoughts.

"I'll go Mom!" Takeru said, then got up and ran to open the front door.

What appeared in front of him cut him out breathless. In front of him stood a beautiful creature, so perfect and innocent she couldn't possibly be human. Maybe she was the daughter of the king of the fairies, who was kidnapped and taken to the human world. And you are thirteen…

Takeru shrugged that thought away and tried to talk to the unknown creature who was looking at him confused.

"He…Hello…" he finally spoke "Can..can I help you?"

"Yes" a tall and dark haired man who appeared from nowhere (at least this was what he thought) said "is this Yamako Ishida's house? I'd like to talk with her mother"

'What the…' Takeru was going to say, but he fortunately interrupted himself in time. This had to be the man Yamato was working for! Of course! He had to tell Mom!

"Yeah…yes, this is hi…her house" he quickly corrected himself "please, come in. I'm going to call my mother. Meanwhile you can sit on the chairs. I'm sorry but we haven't a sofa" he said sadly

"Don't worry" the Fairy Girl said "we'll be comfortable on the chairs. After all, chairs were one of the first thing the humans created and are still very useful" she smiled politely.

"Yeah..right" he lit up in the face

"I'm Yagami Hikari , and this is my father, Yagami Mamoru, very pleased to meet you" she introduced herself.

"Pleased to meet you too Hikari. I'm Ishida Takeru, Yamako's little brother"

Mr Yagami smiled, then asked Takeru to call his mother.

Takeru ran to her room, told her about the whole situation, then helped her get up.

They entered in the living room, which was also the kitchen to face their guests. Mamoru got up he insisted on helping Mrs Ishida, who first refused, but then surrendered to the insisting man's offers

They talked about stuff, but then passed to the serious matters. Mr Yagami repeated her what he had told to Yamako, and added that he was available for any request Natsuko needed. She had tears in the eyes for the happiness.

Now finally things would go better. Yamato, thank you; I love you son; you saved all of us…
