Chapter 5: Nagi's Good Deed?
Kikuno shifted the umbrella in her hand as she checked her watch to make sure that she wasn't running late. The fact that the early morning sun had been blotted out by an unexpected rainstorm didn't help her already down spirits.
Satisfied that she was not running late she stopped in front of the small grocery store that was only about a block from their apartment building. After shaking the rain out of the umbrella she entered the store absentmindedly grabbing a basket while running a list of what items she needed to buy through her head.
As Kikuno made her trek up and down the isles collecting her groceries she thought back to that morning, and the disk she had found in her son's computer. She hoped with all her being that the name on the disk was that only, a name and that it wasn't the beginning of something more.
Kikuno had not been just humoring Mamoru when she had said that she had not wanted to run again. Kikuno was happy at the job she worked and was according to her boss due for a promotion soon. That would mean more money coming in, and may-be she could now start to save up for their futures, like college for her son, and her own future as well.
The thought of having to give all that up to run again and start over made her blood boil. What gave Reiji the right to pursue her like this and to put her son in danger. It had been 12 years and he still couldn't let go?
He had his money and his other son's and she knew from her perusal of his journal that he had been about as faithful to her as she had been to him. According to his writing's around the same time Mamoru was born he had been seeing some women in Tokyo who ran a restaurant. So that made her husband a hypocrite right? Was he aloud happiness and she was not?
Kikuno shook her head to disrupt her venomous thoughts, anger was never a solution. She was as angry with Reiji as she was scared of him, and her thoughts would only serve to make matters worse.
Looking down at the basket in her hand she with no small amount of amusement noticed that while she had been venting her frustrations in her mind, that she had absentmindedly collected all that she needed to buy.
Once outside the store Kikuno grumbled at the drizzle that had turned into a full out downpour. Great, can this day get any more frustrating.... she huffed while attempting to balance two grocery bags in her hand and to open her umbrella so that she would not get drenched on her trek home.
A soft voice came from behind her and almost had Kikuno drop all her groceries into a puddle.
Can I help you with your bags, miss...?
Kikuno turned and almost gasped as she came face to face with the Prussian blue eyes and dark chocolate hair of a boy, that could not be any older then her Mamoru was. He was standing in the rain holding a black umbrella and wearing a gray school uniform.
Somewhere in the back of her mind Kikuno wondered why this polite youth was not in school, and at the same time another part of her mind told her that she would be a fool not to take the kid up on his offer.
Then another part of her mind that had kept her and her son safe from her husband's pursuit for 12 years piped in, and wondered if she could trust this kid. Kikuno scolded herself for those thoughts, since when would her husband hire some kid who looked hardly Mamoru's age to hunt her down. Smiling at her own paranoia she looked to the boy patiently waiting for her to stop gapping like an idiot and answer him.
That's very kind of you, young man and I would appreciate your help. Kikuno held out a grocery bag for the boy to take and shifted her white umbrella in her hand to better protect herself and her groceries from the elements.
Turning to the boy who was now following her Kikuno said, my apartment isn't far so it shouldn't take you too much out of your way. At the boy's resounding nod she ventured further to ask, what is your name young man and why aren't you at school?
The boy turned his deep blue eyes to her and she felt an unconvertible chill go down her spine at the look. Shaking her head to dispel the unusual feeling she only just caught his answer.
My name is Nagi and I am just visiting Kyoto I don't live or go to school here.
Well that explained to Kikuno why her little helper was not in school and as she processed this information she noticed that they were approaching her apartment building. Turning to Nagi she smiled at him and turned to the building, here we are, home sweet home.
Once the groceries were set down in her kitchen Kikuno turned to the quiet youth standing by the door of her apartment. It was still raining out and she felt like a heal to just let the poor boy who had gone out of his way to help her, just go back out into that horrible weather.
She motioned to Nagi to enter and moved to the stove to set water to boil, would you like some tea dear, it would warm you up while we wait for the rain to stop?
The boy made no verbal response he just set his umbrella down next to hers and took a seat at the kitchen table.
Right away Kikuno noticed the difference between this boy and her own Mamoru. While her son was open and almost giddy with energy and smiles, this quiet boy was solemn and almost dark in his presence. It wasn't an altogether unconvertible presence, it just seemed too dark for such a young boy, like he'd seen more then he should have in his brief life.
Time seemed to pass quickly as Kikuno tried to involve herself and the boy Nagi, in small talk and general conversation. He didn't seem like the type to engage normally in small talk but he seemed willing and he liked the tea she had given him since he was now holding an empty cup.
As she got up to refill his empty cup Nagi changed the mode of convertible and safe conversation that they had been involve with to something altogether different. He asked if she had family or if she lived alone.
At first Kikuno's natural defenses seemed to scream at her not to divulge the information to the seemingly curious boy, but then she felt silly. It was an innocent enough question so she suppressed her normally suspicious feelings and decided to be cautiously truthful with the boy.
She told him of her son Mamoru and her job as a waitress in a popular Kyoto restaurant but she failed to divulge any specific information on the location of the restaurant. She also didn't give a clear cut answer when Nagi asked her were her son attended school. By this time Nagi's questions were becoming more specific and Kikuno felt that familiar unconvertible feeling she had been trying so hard to suppress come back to her ten fold.
Why was a boy she had only just met, so seemingly interested in Mamoru or herself for that matter. There conversation was fast becoming more like an interrogation from Kikuno's point of view and she felt herself giving less then specific and more guarded answers, until she decided she had had enough.
Looking down at her watch she noticed that she had to leave for work in under two hours and she still needed to make dinner for Mamoru, also she noticed when she looked behind Nagi to the kitchen window that the rain had begun to let up.
Turning to boy who was now giving her that same cool and unreadable expression as before, Kikuno plastered what she hoped was convincing smile on her face and told Nagi that she had enjoyed their talk, but that she had to get ready for work and that he probably needed to be going.
The response she got was not what Kikuno had expected and left a apprehensive feeling in her as Nagi smiled up at her while collecting this umbrella and turning to leave. Before he was out the door he turned to her and simply stated that she had been a great help to him and he would be seeing her around.
The comment was defiantly unusual and made Kikuno feel as if she was the one who had been providing a service to Nagi and not the other way around. She went to the kitchen window to see if he was still outside but only saw the usual mid-day traffic and pedestrians who dared to venture out now that the rain was receding and sun was again making a presence in the sky.
Willing away her worry Kikuno moved back to the kitchen to start making Mamoru's dinner and to continue her normal routine. Perhaps the familiar nature of her daily routine would calm her thoughts and dispel the growing fear that something big was on the horizon.
