Chapter five - Closeness

 

It had been a week since the incidence at the swimming center and Fuo was still thinking about what had happened at Alex's place.

Every time he talked to him and looked at his multicolored eyes his heart fluttered and he couldn't help but think back on the time where he had given him CPR. Now that he thought about it, it had felt strangely good. The feeling of his lips, they were so soft… He shook his head.

Now it was morning and Fuo was sitting in his room. He hadn't told anyone about it and he was worried about how his parents would take it. Okay, so they didn't mind Kimi and her being a lesbian, but this was their son. How would they react to that?

There was a knock on the door and Shisuseru stepped in.

“Fuo, are you okay?” She asked worried.

“I don't know. Shisu I think…” He paused.

“You can tell me you know that” She said and sat down beside him.

“I… I think I'm gay”

Shisuseru looked at him surprised.

“It's Alex isn't it?”

He nodded.

“Are you worried about how mom and dad will react?”

He nodded again.

“Well, I don't know what to do about Alex, but I don't think you'll have to worry about mom and dad”

Fuo looked at her with a pale face.

“They won't throw you out if that what you're worried about”

He nodded and looked like he was a bit better.

“How should I tell them?”

“Go down now tell them. Just be blunt, none of that `you know how I' stuff”

Now he looked like he was going to run away.

“Oh come on, get your ass down there. You'll feel better once it's over” Then she grabbed him and dragged him towards the stairs.

“Wait here”

She went down and looked into the kitchen and saw that Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting there alone.

“Coast is clear” she said as she came back up.

He nodded yet again and walked down into the kitchen.

“Good morning dear” Kagome said looking at him as he entered the kitchen.

“Um, mom, dad, can I talk to you for a minute?” He was so nervous he could have fainted right then and there.

“Sure honey, what's wrong?”

“Well, um, you se… I… oh screw it. Mom, dad I think I'm gay”

Kagome looked stunned and Inuyasha nearly dropped his coffee mug.

“What?”

`Oh, oh. This wasn't what I had hoped for'

“I-I think I'm gay”

While Inuyasha still looked like he had become stone Kagome smiled and went over to hug him.

“Oh I'm so happy for you! Who is the lucky guy?” She said.

“Mom!” He said blushing from embarrassment.

“Okay, but you know we love you, no matter what. Your father does too even though he's being an total ass about it right now”

Inuyasha was still sitting on his chair looking completely stunned.

Fuo looked at his mother. I was very seldom they got to hear her speak that way.

“But you need to get ready for school, can't have you running late now can we?”

Upstairs Shisuseru and the twins sat at the stairs listening to the conversation and couldn't help but giggle a bit. Their mother was so much like their Grandmother.

Shimone arrived at her school that morning with the realisation that she was going to have music in her first subject.

`Now I have to be with him again' she thought. `I just don't hope anything happens'

She was the last one to step off the bus and she had noticed that Ana wasn't there today. She sighed and stood looking as the bus drove off and the other girls walked off.

Just as she was about to move towards the school too a dog came running at her. Before she even got to react she was tackled by it and attacked by its horribly wet tongue.

“Stop it” She said trying to get it off. Finally she got it off and looked at it. It was Kuro! But where was Mekura?

“Did you run away?” She asked the dog. It just barked and lifted its leg playfully.

“Let's see if we can find him” She said grabbing him by the collar and walking towards the school entrance. Once inside she saw Mekura sitting on one of the benches in the yard.

He looked absolutely breathtaking, with his eyes closed and his black hair hanging over his shoulders. Those broad shoulders…

Shimone shook her head.

She walked over to him and said.

“Um, Mekura?”

“Ah, Shimone, aren't you supposed to be on your way to class?”

“I suppose I should be but I thought I would bring you your dog first” She said still holding Kuro's collar.

“You mean you can touch him?” He asked looking surprised.

“Uh, yes. Is there something wrong with that?”

“No, nothing at all, it's just that so far the only one being able to touch him was we and his trainer. Not even my cleaning lady is able to come within five feets distance of him”

“Well he practically jumped me” She said starting to get all hot. She was having a conversation with him and she was the only one who was able to touch his dog!

`Calm down! It's not that big of a deal'

“Say, would you be interested in a job?”

“A job?”

“Yes, it's nothing fancy but my last cleaning lady quit and I haven't been able to find a new one, and since Kuro likes you so much-“

“I'd love to!” She blurted out without thinking.

“Really? Well the job's yours” He said smiling.

`God, that smile. How am I supposed to survive being in a house with him alone?'

“I just need to know where you live” She said blushing. At that moment she was glad that he was blind, than he couldn't see her blush.

“Oh that's easy; I live just across the street from you”

Shimone gaped. That was where he lived! That was even worse!

“Could you come once every week? Maybe on a Saturday?”

“Okay”

The bell rung.

“Well we should be getting to class. It wouldn't be good for the teacher to be late”

“You're right” She said the handed the leash to Mekura. When she did that their hands toughed and her heart skipped a beat. For the first time she noticed how tall he actually was. He was a head taller then her.

 

During the whole lesson she couldn't help but think about the fact that she was going to work for Mekura and she couldn't wait for the week to be over so she could go over to him and start cleaning and be close to him.

`Oh god, I've got it bad huh?' She thought as she looked up at him and his smiling face.

The bell rung and everyone left. When Shimone went to her locker to get her books she was hit on the head from behind and she fell. When she turned around she saw the triplets standing over her.

“We've seen you looking at Mekura and we are warning you, keep away from him”

“Or you'll be sorry”

Then as they walked away one of them kicked her in the gut one in the back and one of them stepped on her leg.

Since it was class no one noticed her laying there crying softly.

`What have I done to deserve this?'

“Should we tell the others?” Fuo asked as they rode to school beside their friends.

“As long as I don't have to tell Alex”

Shisu made a gesture for the others to pull over and they both did when they had the opportunity.

“What is it?” Daisuke asked taking off his helmet.

After Fuo told them Daisuke laughed.

“Man, had I known that joke about us going together would have turned you gay!”

“Idiot, that's hardly the reason why!” Kimi said hitting him over the head. Then she turned to Fuo.

“Are you sure? I mean, you have had one relationship-“ He looked at her “Okay, fling, with a girl… don't you think you could be bi-sexual?”

He thought about it. It was right; he had had something with a girl when he was fourteen, what was her name? Ally? No Sandra… right? He couldn't remember… He had been with her for a week before she had to move away with her family. He never found out where.

“Maybe you're right. But it doesn't matter anyway. Let's get back to school”

Back at Shimone's school she was sitting in the restroom in the same stall as she was the last time she had to escape from the world around her.

Her parents were going to ask her what happened, she knew it. What was she going to say? Maybe if she tried to hide it? It would be difficult since it hurt like hell to walk but it would be okay.

She slowly stood up to walk out when she felt great pain in her ribs.

`They really did hit me hard, didn't they?'

She walked out grabbing at what she could for support on her way out into the hallway.

She opened the door and walked towards her locker. It was still twenty minutes until classes ended and she was hoping she could make it there and then get away from school and take a local bus home. She had made it to her locker, now she just had to get to the bus stop…

Just as she turned around she saw Mekura standing a few feet away.

“Shimone? What's wrong?” He asked concern in his unseeing eyes.

Shimone backed away out if shock and fell onto the lockers. It hade her hiss as she tried to hold back the scream, but a whimper escaped.

Now Mekura had moved over to her and kneeled down.

“What happened?” He asked.

“The triplets” She said and started crying. It hurt so badly!

“Do you think you can walk?”

“I-I think”

With some help from Mekura she stood.

“Lean on me, I'll get you to the nurse's office”

Shimone did as she was told and she couldn't stop her heart from beating. She was so close to him now and it almost made her forget about the pain… almost.

She looked up to see the nurse's office getting closer. They walked in and the nurse jumped up immediately as she saw them.

“What happened?” She asked.

“I heard her fall and went to investigate” He said as he let the nurse take Shimone from him.

Shimone reluctantly let go and was guided over to the bed.

“What happened dear?”

Shimone looked like she was going to faint. What would happen if she told anyone about it?

“I don't remember” She just said.

“Hm, well I'm going to send you to the hospital, I think you got some broken ribs. Is there anyone I can call?”

She shook her head. Her father was at work and her mother was probably at work too so she didn't want to bother any of them.

“I'll call an ambulance but I'm not so keen on letting you go alone” She said as she walked over to the phone.

“I could take her” Mekura said.

Shimone hadn't even realized that he hadn't left.

“I live across the street from her so I can bring her home again if her parents don't have time”

“Oh, I wish we had more teachers like you” The nurse said smiling.

`Oh god, now he is going to the hospital with me? What am I going to do?'

When Fuo and Shisuseru came home they went into the kitchen to find something to eat only to discover that Inuyasha still sat on his chair just as he had done that morning.

They looked at him, then at each other, then back again. Then they both burst out laughing.

“Okay, I know I should be a bit worried about him still being in shock, but I think it is absolutely hilarious!” Fuo said holding his stomach. He stood back up and made his way over to his father.

“Hey dad, I'm not gay, just bi-sexual”

It was as if you had lifted a curse from him that had turned him into stone as he looked up at his son.

“Fuo, I'm sorry for the way I acted” He said and stood up “You do know I love you anyways, right?”

Fuo nodded smiling.

Then the phone rang.

“I'll get it” said Shisuseru and hurried out into the hall to answer it. A minute went by and she came running into the kitchen again.

“Shimone is in the hospital!”

 

AVAVAVAVAVA

 

On the way to the hospital Shimone couldn't help but look at Mekura who sat at her feet with Kuro next to him.

`Why is he so nice to me? I mean, he's nice to most of the students, but he's nicer to me… a lot nicer!'

The paramedics had given her an IV with morphine so it wouldn't hurt so much, but that only made her notice Mekura more instead of the pain. Once they arrived she was driven in and he was helped out of the ambulance.

A doctor came and checked her before she was left alone for some time before she had to go to an x-ray… Alone with Mekura…

She sat in her bed and he sat in a chair next to her.

“How are you feeling?” He asked and she could hear the concern in his voice as if he was shouting it.

“Not so much anymore since I'm getting pain killers” She said looking at him. Now he didn't have his eyes closed so she could see their icy blue color perfectly.

“Why are you so nice to me?” She asked without even thinking.

He looked surprised by her question but quickly shook it off.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you are so nice to me, first you tell me that you are there for me if something happen, then you give me a job and now you are helping me with this. I know you are nice to all of the other students too, but it seem you are more so towards me. Why?”

He sighed and opened his mouth to answer when…

“Shimone! Are you alright?”

It was Shisuseru, Fuo and her father.

`And here I was thinking I would get an answer'
