InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Drastic Change II ❯ Happeings at the Swimming Center ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter four - Happenings at the Swimming Center

 

School was over so everyone was headed home.

Shisuseru sat on the back of Fuo's motor bike and Kimi on Daisuke's.

“Should we invite Shimone and Tsurine?” Shisuseru asked Fuo over the noise of the bike as they rode home.

“We could try but I don't think they'll say yes”

When they got home they parked the bike outside since they would need it again. When they stood off Shisu looked on the other side of the street and saw a truck and a lot of boxes.

“Hey Fuo, look” She said pointing. “Who do you think is moving in?”

“Don't know… but let's hurry”

They went in and found Kagome sitting in the living room reading.

“Hey mom, we're going swimming with Kimi, Daisuke and a new kid called Alex. Is that okay?” Shisuseru asked as Fuo walked up the stairs.

“You have a new student? In your or Fuo's class?”

“In Fuo's but is it okay?”

“Okay, just be home before dinner, okay?”

“Thanks mom” She said and gave her a kiss on the cheek before running off up the stairs.

Ten minutes later Shimone was home.

“Hello honey how was your day?” Kagome asked patting the spot next to her on the sofa.

“It was okay, we have a new teacher in music. His name is Mekura Ao” She said sitting down.

“Really? How is he?”

“I think he is my favorite teacher! You know the triplets?”

“Yes”

“Well, they were teasing me again, but he heard them so they got detention! It was so fun. Then afterwards we were told to do something musically and I picked a note that said sing you favorite song and you know how I think I sing horribly right?”

Kagome nodded.

“Well, when I was done singing he said that he thought I was the best in his class! I was so happy! Then when class was over he told me that if I ever needed help with anything he would help me”

“Well, I think I would call that a great day” Kagome said with a smile.

“I guess you're right. Oh, he has this cute dog with him! It looks so soft you'd just want to cuddle him”

“Why would he bring a dog to school? I thought animals weren't allowed in school”

“Oh yeah, I forgot. He's blind”

“A blind teacher? Well what do you know?”

“But he's really good! You don't even think about it! It's like having a normal teacher”

“well, I'm glad you had a good day at school. Why don't you go up and change into some normal clothes so you don't wrinkle your school uniform?”

“Okay”

Then she was up and away.

Now Fuo and Shisuseru were coming down the stairs with sports bags in their hands.

“We're leaving, bye mom!”

“Bye”

 

AVAVAVAVAVA

 

Once they arrived at the school Alex was sitting and waiting for them with a bag in his hand.

“Aren't the others here yet?”

“No but I don't think it'll be long. Are there changing rooms there? Because where I used to live there weren't and we had to wear our swimwear underneath our real clothes”

“Well there are, but if you fell well about what you are used to we won't force you” Fuo said.

“Good, cause I already have my swimwear on underneath this” He said with a tiny smile.

“There they are” Said Shisuseru as she turned around to see Kimi and Daisuke coming towards them on Daisuke's bike.

“Sorry it took so long, mom had a fit about us going but she had to go on a business trip so we got away” said Kimi.

“Um, how are you going to get there?” Daisuke asked looking at Alex.

“That's right. How are you going to get there, I mean we are on our bikes so”

“That's easy!” Said Kimi smiling.

“What do you mean?”

“He'll just sit behind Fuo. Shisu you can site behind Daisuke and I can site behind you since I'm smaller then you and you are so thin there will be room for us”

“Why not? I mean, by bike is bigger then yours” Daisuke said to Fuo.

“Alright then”

“Uh, isn't that a bit dangerous? I've never been on a motor bike before” Alex asked.

“Don't worry about it, just hold onto me and then you'll be Alright”

“O-Okay” He said, stuttering and blushing a bit again.

When they began riding Fuo felt Alex cling onto him for dear life.

“Hey, relax. I'm good at this” He said in a comforting voice.

“Okay”

He felt his grip loosening but as soon as they turned a corner he clung on even stronger than before. Then he got an idea.

“Hold on” He said and pulled over.

Daisuke looked at him but he just waved for them to go.

“Why don't sit in the front then I'll have my arms so you won't be able to fall, okay?”

Alex nodded.

They got back on and drove towards the swimming centre. It was better that way. Fuo had thought that his head might get in the way but he was a head shorter then him so it worked out fine.

Once they arrived the others stood outside waiting.

“Maybe next time we should take the bus, you look like you're going to be sick” Daisuke said as he looked at Alex.

Fuo looked at him too and saw how pale he was.

“Aw man, sorry, if I had know you would be sick from seeing where we rode I would have turned you around”

Alex's face color turned from pale to dark as he began to blush again.

“That's okay, I'm fine”

 

AVAVAVAVAVA

 

After they all had changed they met outside at the pool with the diving boards. Shisuseru was wearing a halter-neck bikini with hotpants and Kimi was wearing a black triangle bikini. Fuo was wearing dark blue trunks and Daisuke's were black. Alex was wearing black ones too but he wore a black t-shirt too.

The girls came out last and Shisuseru blushed a bit once she saw Daisuke. His chest was very muscular from all the working out he had done. He and Fuo sometimes went to the gym to work out, but Daisuke did I maybe twice as much since he wanted to be almost as strong as Fuo. Fuo being a quarter youkai wasn't as strong as Inuyasha but he was stronger then a normal human. That and his other senses were pretty dulled too, just like his sisters.

When Shisuseru looked at Daisuke and his rippled chest she could see the tattoo he had around his belly button. It was a black sun. He wasn't the only one in the group with a tattoo. Shisuseru had two. One in the neck and one on her lover back. The on in her neck was a kanji for cat. The one on her lower back was a normal tribal tattoo.

“Why don't we try the diving boards? It's long since I tried those” Suggested Kimi.

“Yeah!” They all said, except Alex, but no one seemed to notice.

They took turns jumping down and trying different stunts. Alex hadn't gone yet after about five rounds.

“Hey Alex, aren't you going to try?” Asked Fuo.

“I don't know” He said unsure looking at the diving board.

“Come on! It'll be fun”

“Alright” He said hesitantly and began walking up the steps. He stood there for some time with the others cheering. Then he jumped awkwardly. When he didn't come up again they got worried.

“You don't think he can't swim do you?” Kimi said worried.

“I don't know but I'm not gonna wait to find out” Fuo said jumping in and diving after him scared of what might have caused this.

Fuo looked around and saw him at the bottom of the pool and hurried down.

`We shouldn't have forced him' he blames himself.

He grabbed him by the torso and pulled him up. When he came up everyone were gathered around the pool wondering what was happening.

“Help me out here” He said and Daisuke helped him pull him up.

“He's not breathing!” Kimi panicked.

“Move” Said Fuo and moved over to him.

He pressed his lips to Alex's to give him air then pressed his hands firmly on his chest three times before continuing the motion. After two times Alex coughed and Fuo turned him on the side.

“Don't scare me like that man!” He said.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to, I just felt light-headed and fell”

“I'm taking you home. You guys stay, there's no need for you to go too”

Without a word he picked up Alex and carried him out into the changing room.

“Can you change alone?” He asked.

“I think I'll manage”

“Here's you clothes”

After they changed Fuo took him by the arms and brought him to his bike.

“Where do you live?”

“On Shinwa av. Thirteen”

Fuo pulled him onto the bike so he was in front of him and faced towards him.

“Hold on, okay?”

He just nodded and closed his eyes.

As Fuo rode across town to get Alex home he kept thinking that he shouldn't have forced him and that it was his fault.

They came to an intersection and Fuo looked down at him. He had fallen asleep which was strange to him since he had been so frightened when they rode before. He looked so peaceful now.

The lights turned green again so he rode on.

Five minutes later he turned a corner and parked the bike. Alex was still asleep so he just lifted him and carried him up the stairs to the apartment building. He took the stairs up to the second floor and then walked to where he thought number thirteen would be.

When he stood outside he realized he didn't have the keys. He set down Alex against the wall and went through his jacket and found them.

Once inside he put him down on the sofa and sat next to him.

`What now?' he thought and looked down on him again.

He stirred and Fuo thought he was about to wake up when he instead whimpered.

`Is he having a nightmare?' He shook him gently to wake him up.

“Hey Alex, wake up” He said and shook him a bit more when he didn't wake up. Finally he opened his eyes but before Fuo got to say anything he threw his arms around him.

“Whoa, what's wrong?” He asked surprised.

He just shook his head against his chest.

“It's okay, you can tell me”

Alex pulled back and looked at him.

“It's nothing. I'm fine now” He said sitting back quickly whipping the tears away from his eyes.

“Thanks for saving me from drowning. I don't know what happened”

“Well as long as it doesn't happen again” Fuo said and looked at him, frowning at his dismissal of his question about his dream. It really bothered him, he didn't know why.

“I just felt light headed”

“You're not sick are you? I mean, you are so thin” Fuo asked poking him in the chest.

“N-no, I'm fine” He stuttered blushing a bit.

“I think it's all the blushing that's hurting your head, you are too shy” He teased.

“I can't help it. It's not my fault my parents decided to home school me” He said looking away blushing even more.

“I was actually wondering about that, where are your parents?”

The blush disappeared from his face and he looked down at his hands.

“Sorry, forget I said that”

“It's okay. My father was very abusive so as soon as I turned eighteen I moved away. My mother gave me money so I could move”

Fuo put a hand on his shoulder.

“I'm sorry to hear that” He said looking at him.

Alex lifted his head and looked at him. For the first time he got a good look at his eyes. One of them was grey the other one was brown. They fit perfectly to his short blond hair.

`What am I thinking?' He thought surprised by himself.

“Thanks”

“I should be leaving, my parents will be worried” Fuo said standing up, but was stopped as Alex threw his arms around him one more time.

“Please don't leave! I'm scared…”

Fuo was surprised but gave in.

“Just let me call home and tell my parents”

He nodded and let go, blushing.

Fuo walked over to the phone that he saw when he entered the apartment before and dialed his home number.

“Sonmune residence” Tsurine's voice said through the receiver.

“Hey, it's me”

“What happened? Shisu came home about ten minutes ago and went to her room without a word to us”

“I just had to bring Alex home. He nearly drowned. Anyways, could you put mom or dad on the phone?”

“Sure, I'll get dad”

A minute later Inuyasha picked up the phone.

“What?” He asked in a gruff voice. He sounded like he had been sleeping.

“Uh, I was just wondering if it would be okay if I stayed over at Alex's”

“The new kid? Why?”

“Um, he kinda almost drowned so I brought him home and now he's scared for some reason and wants me to stay”

“Hm, alright. But call us in the morning or your mother will get a fit”

“Okay, see you”

“Bye”

Fuo put down the receiver and looked back at Alex to tell him he would be staying when he saw that he had fallen asleep again. He smile and went over to pick him up.

When he did Alex leaned in and rested his head against his chest. Fuo flushed a bit as his hands gripped his shirt when he moved.

He looked around and walked towards the door he thought was the bedroom door.

Once inside we walked over to the bed and put him down. When he wanted to pull away Alex grabbed his arm and pulled him down. He lost his balance and fell down. If he hadn't trust his arms forward he probably would have fallen on top of him.

His heart beat faster as he looked down at him. He was only four inches away from his face and suddenly it felt like his heart was going to shoot out of his chest.

`What is going on with me?' He asked himself looking down at his face. `I'm not… am I?'

He didn't get to ponder the thought ant longer because Alex woke up.

Quickly Fuo stood up before he noticed anything.

“I'm going to sleep on the sofa. See you in the morning” Fuo said and left quickly.

That night he hardly slept so the next day he was so exhausted he almost fell of his bike as they both drove to school.

Alex was sitting behind him again. He had said that he would be able to so he didn't have to worry. But that didn't make much of a difference. Fuo could feel his body pressed into his back and he couldn't get the feeling out of his mind.

`God, I think I'm gay. How am I going to tell mom and dad?'

 

A/N: Hehe, what a surprise huh? Or was it? I would like to hear your opinion on that one. Hope you liked it. I put pictures on my web site of the tattoos.

Ja Ne!
