CHAPTER 7 PART 2
As promised, Kazuhiro had quickly returned into the apprentice's room, accompanied by two servants, who immediately started cleaning the tainted bathroom, under the continues apologies of Yutaka, who felt guilty for having added to the already sickening mess with the remains of his own previous dinner, until the elder blond literally had to drag him out the bathroom, to allow the attendants peacefully do their work, and him to finally take a bath in the other bathroom, which Kazuhiro had personally prepared. Following the bath, the brunette and the blonds, who like guards, had remained outside the bathroom to make sure that the apprentice wouldn't have any unneeded interruptions, went back to Yutaka's room, where, still not having to much of an appetite, he was forced to eat whatever Kazuhiro had previously brought.
-Thank you … - suddenly whispered Yutaka, placing his spoon in a semi-emptied plate, and politely pushing the plate away
-Not to mention, you should at least try and eat a little more, you don't look to great ...- readily suggested the blond -... though you are the doctor here, so it is not my place to say- swiftly added the blond with a forced conventional smile, which was replied by an apologetic nod
-I ...- hesitantly resumed the brunette - I truly intended to thank you for … standing up for me- concluded the brunette in a soft almost imperceptible tone, as he lowered his gaze staring at the plate he had previously pushed aside, but quickly glancing up, he was able to catch a slowly head-shaking Kazuhiro.
-To tell you the truth … - commenced the other - … I am quite shocked about it myself … I usually don't ...- concluded the blonde, leaving his sentence undone
-I understand- swiftly replied the brunette - … it must have taken a lot ... and I appreciate it, I really do- affirmed the brunette - … standing up against anybody is hard enough, I can only imagine how much courage it must take to stand up against one's own family- he promptly and sadly added, looking up at the blonde, who didn't reply and simply joined the brunette in the plate staring, making the apprentice wonder whether the other was regretting his actions.
The room remained silent, each of them absently staring everywhere but at each other, the situation had definitely taken a rather uneasy turn, and at the moment the apprentice's room ironically felt like the safest place to be, and something told him, he should have stayed in it, which was his initial plan, until the younger blonde suddenly walked towards his elder brother.
-Father … Byou … - he whispered, his face unnaturally contorted, almost as if pronouncing the two words had been the most difficult thing to do, while he stared outside the window.
-Father Byou? …- confusedly asked the elder- ...what about him? - he then kindly inquired
-I … - began the younger in a very lowly tone, almost a whisper, and stopped - … want to go- he then concluded in the same intonation, still staring outside
-Y-you want to go there?- surprisingly asked the elder, looking up at the standing blonde, who simply nodded once.
-Is it … unusual for him to want to go to father Byou?- hesitantly inquired the brunette, trying to understand the reason for the elder blonde's shocked expression.
-It is - calmly replied the blonde -... as a matter of fact, it is unusual for him to simply want to go anywhere at all, he usually would be in his room … painting- explained the blond, staring at the younger, who was still gazing out the window
-Do you want to go now?- he then inquired, as the younger nodded again in agreement - … is there a particular reason?- he then hesitantly asked, but the younger simply, stayed still for a second and directed himself to the entrance, where he stood still, seemingly waiting for the other two to follow.
-I think ... he wants us to follow … - dumbly observed the apprentice, who still was of the opinion that it would have been wiser to spend the rest of his permanence looked in his room, but reluctantly had to force himself into wanting to leave, feeling that Father Byou might have been the person, whom the younger believed could tell them the solution to their problem. Thus, he rose from his chair, and was followed in suit by Kazuhiro, who slowly nodded to his previous statement, as they both walked towards the younger, and exited his room.
None of the components of the trio uttered a single word, as they walked through an apparently empty house, into the living-room and out into the back gardens. The sun was still brightly shining up in the sky, and he brunette would have normally described such day as a rather charming and relaxing afternoon, but the two adjectives didn't fit well in any description pertaining the Hayashi manor, it would have been more like it appears like a charming and relaxing afternoon but from hell I really can't tell day, as he resumed his habit of incessantly checking his back and everywhere else around him, with the tail, and other normally unused part of his eyes.
-I am mortified ... - suddenly stated Kazuhiro in a firm expression - I am terribly mortified that you must constantly watch your back ...- continued the blonde, who had been silently observing the brunette a glance at a time, as they now walked through the entrance of the four gardens.
The brunette wasn't too sure how to give an appropriate reply to such statement, he couldn't deny that everywhere he went he didn't feel safe in the least, but he also didn't want to the blonde too feel guilty about it, since he was one of the few people he felt at ease around, the others being Takanori, and now perhaps, Kazamasa. Nevertheless, he decided that a white lie, which was really pitch black one, wouldn't have hurt in the present mood.
-Oh it is not- he was about to utter, when the figure of two fast walking and shouting men appeared in front of him, as he suddenly froze.
-Stop right now! - furiously yelled one
-Get lost! - replied the younger, as the elder successfully grabbed his wrist.
-If you would only listen ...- angrily hissed the elder, while the younger frenziedly tried to release himself from the grip - … please listen to me- continued the elder in a softer tone, tightly holding the fighting blond.
-Where is he!- yelled the younger -... where is Yasuno!- he continued
-T-takeru … Akira ...- apprehensively whispered Kazuhiro, staring at the disturbing scene in visible aghast. The apprentice quickly glanced between the fighting couple, and the elder blond standing next to him. Kazuhiro clearly was worried for his siblings, and he could tell that he wanted to go and find out the matter, but something was holding him back. As for Yutaka, all he wanted to do was to quickly run away, before the lawyer could notice his presence, but his feet weren't moving. Once again his body refused to comply in a moment of dire need.
-Is this not the interesting trio?- suddenly exclaimed a woman, who was inside the garden of yellow roses, staring at the brunette, and the two blonds, at which statement, the fighting couple immediately acknowledged their presence, and tightly holding Takeru, Akira speed-walked towards them.
-This looks interesting~! Masa come see!- yelled the woman, as a tall brunette, suddenly jumped up from the grounds of the garden, and quickly looked around -you two should come as well ...- she then shouted -... believe me … you want to see this ...- she concluded, at which a tall blonde, who was holding a noticeable amount of money happily walked out of the gazebo, followed by an irritated looking one.
-Oh! Mr. Uke, we meet again!- yelled the first man called by the lady, as the apprentice, slowly turned towards the voice, his eyes widening in utter fear, staring at the man, who almost raped him the night before, in the company of Takahiro, and … Takanori?
The brunette's head was about to spin, it was just too much evil to handle all at once, and his stomach and knees began to feel the same. This was must likely the beginning of the end, and the only thing that was moving in the apprentice's body, was the air that somehow found it's way in and out his paralyzed body, as his ears kept perceive the rushed steps of the two blondes getting closer; he should have stayed in his room.
-A-akira … why s-so angry?- hesitantly inquired Kazuhiro, once the duo was clearly standing in front of them, moving in front of the brunette, who still seemed to have his feet glued to the soil, as well as his eyes, however, the lawyer wasted no time in moving the younger blonde with his free hand, and forcefully grabbing the brunette by his collar with the same hand. Yutaka instinctively closed his eyes, feeling the breath of the elder on his face, feeling like simply that was enough to end his already deplorable life.
-What is he doing with Shou?- quickly and furiously demanded the elder blond
-Isn't Shou supposed to be in his room painting? What is he doing here?- firmly questioned Takahiro, staring at a almost hyperventilating Kazamasa, whose breath slowly acquired a regular pace, as he quickly stared back at him, and then swiftly averted gaze.
-W-we are just t-taking a walk … Akira please … calm- tried to explain the younger, as he carefully attempting to reach for the elder's hand on the apprentice's collar, but was abruptly interrupted.
-Do not tell me to calm down Kazuhiro!- harshly retorted the lawyer, startling the younger blonde, and sending Kazamasa into a crouched position on the ground, quickly pacing his body back and forth, while holding his hands on his ears, and for some reason, not yet clear to the brunette himself, he found himself impulsively opening his eyes, and turning towards the stooped figure -I'd think about yourself first if I were you...- hissed the lawyer, who was still tightly holding the youngest blond with his other hand, and at which the brunette, was about to newly close his eyes and lowered his head, but to his own stupor, he slowly turned to face his the enraged blond, and simply stared.
-Akira … w-what happened?- attempted Kazuhiro, quickly glancing at the irate elder
-It is such a charming afternoon is it not - suddenly stated a radiant Lady Ayaka, calmly exiting the red themed garden, arm in arm with Yasuno.
-It most certainly is my dear- replied the eldest - … well good afternoon everyone- he then added with a big smiling face, observing the uneasy looking crowd in front of them.
At the sight of the happy couple, Takeru harshly pulled his arm from Akira's grip, successfully freeing himself, and angrily exhaling, he menacingly speed-walked towards Lady Ayaka, pulling his sleeves up, seemingly ready to deal with her, but Akira swiftly dropped the brunette, and reached for the younger, tightly holding him by the waist, and pulling him away slightly lifting him off the ground, as the younger kept hissing and punching air.
-I told you! ...- suddenly screamed Lady Ayaka, who had quickly hid behind her future husband's back -... he hates me!- she then squealed - ... he will kill me!-
-Damn righ- tried to yell the youngest, but his mouth was promptly blocked by Akira's free hand, as Takeru, kept mumbling, what could have been nothing else other than insults in the elder's hand.
Yutaka stunningly observed the situation, his head still swiftly spinning, as he gaze jumped from a restless Kazuhiro, who was now crouched next to Kazamasa, and attentively observing the quickly withdrawing duo of the lawyer, and the still fighting blond, to a similarly stunned and speechless Yasuno, who, as he almost hypnotically observed the departing couple, seemed to have not heard a single word shouted by his Lady.
-This will soon become nasty … - suddenly whispered a rather familiar voice in the apprentice's ear - … how about we go somewhere else?- proposed the voice, at which the brunette began to hyperventilate himself, until he felt the arms quickly leaving his waist, and calmly turning around, he found Takanori standing in front of him, while Takamasa was collecting himself.
-What was that for?!- angrily inquired the tall brunette, staring at the blonde in front of the apprentice - No need for pushing … we can all take turns ... - nonchalantly explained the brunette twin - ... sharing is caring Takahiro, sharing is caring- reinforced the taller getting closer to the couple.
-Find yourself another toy Takamasa- blankly spat the gloved blonde.
-How dare you talk to me like that- replied the taller brunette in feign offense -... haven't they thought you respect for elders in this house?- he then chuckled
-You are clearly in the wrong house- quickly retorted the blond, keeping his stance in front of Yutaka, who had at least resumed his regular breathing pace, feeling his faith taking a better course, thanks to the protective stance of the blonde in front of him, as he steadily kept himself behind the younger's back.
-Trying to fix last night's blunder? … - suddenly smirked the taller brunette, challengingly staring at blonde, who kept his quiet.
-L-last night's blunder?- hesitantly asked the brunette, confusedly staring at the blond's back
-Yes you see ...- began the taller brunette -... Takanori here, was the other participant to our bet … of course … he lost- he explained in a jolly tone.
-T-that cannot possible be true- quickly retorted the brunette, glaring at Takamasa
-Why don't you as your prince charming here, and find out for yourself … - proposed the taller with a grin. Yutaka swiftly gazed at the blond's unmoving back, as the pace of his heartbeat swiftly increased, he didn't want to ask, he didn't want to know; it couldn't be, it simply couldn't - Tell him Kazuhiro … - encouraged the taller brunette with a diverted smirk.
-I didn't meant to … It wasn't supposed to- hesitantly and confoundedly began the blond, still firmly backing the brunette, in a low voice, which was suddenly interrupted by Yutaka
-No … no … no...- continuously repeated the apprentice, shaking his head in denial, as he slowly took steps away from his fallen angel, who had swiftly turned around to face him.
-I … - tried to utter the blonde carefully getting closer to the brunette
-Stay away!- promptly yelled the brunette, horrifyingly staring at the blond, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks sadly gazing at the receding brunette.
What was he to do now? Who was he to trust, for all he knew, Kazuhiro himself, could have just been playing him as well, and at the mere thought, his head kept spinning faster. The strength that was somehow allowing him to step backwards wasn't going to last for too long, as he felt tears about to erupt, and his battle already coming to an end, without even having the chance to fight, or so he thought when a young blond, suddenly caught everyone off guard, as he quickly freed himself, and running towards the brunette, he grabbed him by his arm, and began to run.
They ran and ran as fast as they could, Yutaka almost having problems catching up, and the blonde in front of him not stopping. They finally reached a set of doors, and strongly pushing the door open, they entered the building, as the fatigued blonde, swiftly closed the door, and placed himself on it, gazing at his feet. Yutaka as well, was bent on his knees trying to recollect himself, as he slowly observed the blond, and his new surroundings; they were in the chapel.
-You finally made it...- suddenly spoke a voice behind them, as a pair of calm steps walked towards them - … thank you Shou- concluded the man, as he leaned over the still fatigued blonde, placing a hand over, the shoulder of the younger, who simply kept panting, and staring at nowhere. The man then grabbed the younger from the clothed part o his arm, and walked him towards one of the benches of the church, under the observing gaze of the brunette, who was still panting as well, but could at least stand straight.
-I hope it is not too late… - resumed the man, now looking at the brunette - … please do follow me, I promise I will not bite ...- calmly continued the man looking at the blank expression on the brunette's face - … but you most probably have some serious trusting issues at this point, so I guess my word will not mean too much … - he then swiftly added sadly observing the brunette, who stayed put in his present place absently looking at the man.
-Alright … - calmly resumed the man - you can sit next to Shou if you prefer … and I am father Byou, by the bye, you had come late to my service last Sunday, so we didn't have the chance to be introduced I suppose … Mr. Uke-
-How do you know my name?- swiftly and firmly questioned the brunette, cautiously taking his sit next to Kazamasa, not abandoning the sight of the priest.
-Kaoru has been telling me a lot of thing about you … I … we- he corrected himself, glancing at the apathetic looking blond - … have been waiting for you-
-D-dr. Niikura? ...- bemusedly inquired the brunette, glancing at Kazamasa as well
-Yes … - affirmed the elder - … I am to guide you in his absence, and help you as well ...- continued the priest, who calmly walked to his alter, and taking a piece of paper, the brunette observed him writing something on it, after which, the priest walked back to the couple with said paper.
-This family, Mr. Uke ...- resumed the priest -... has gone though unimaginable hardships, and though it may not be a valid justification for their obvious wrong behavior, it is something you must understand- continued the priest - … you must also understand the meaning of forgiving and forgetting … if you want have any chance in winning this battle- explained the priest looking at a rather bemused brunette.
-So you are saying that I was really sent here, to take care of a bunch of crazies? - irritatedly spat the brunette- who are continuously attempting at my safety or life? -continued the brunette in a higher tone - What? Is this another bet? A game of how many blondes I am able to strike down first? - he then angrily inquired -
-Do you know why Kaoru, chose you for this? - kindly inquired the priest, ignore the apprentice's hostility
-No- blankly answered the brunette
-Do you not want to know? … do you not want to help Shou? - inquired the priest once more - … you should by now know, the type of help he really needs … - added the priest.
Yutaka had no clue whatsoever about what the priest was alluding to, but glancing at the blonde, he suddenly remembered having promised the younger to help him resolving whatever problem was in the house, and yes, he was a coward, he was extremely fragile, too gullible and what not, but he did kept his word; unfortunately. Moreover, if it meant him able to get out of the house as soon as possible, he was willing to do whatever.
-… So what is it I have to do? ...- he swiftly asked, in a resigend tone
-Oh that I don't know ...- swiftly replied the priest with a kind smile -... if we knew you wouldn't be here now would you? - calmly questioned the priest
-Fair enough … - whispered the bruenette - so ...- he then uttered blankly staring at the priest.
-However, as I have mentioned, I can help … - continued the priest, handing the piece of paper to the apprentice, who swiftly snatched it, keeping his distance form the priest, and quickly read it, while he continuously glanced up at the smiling priest.
Pride
Envy
Wrath
Sloth
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
-A list of bad nouns?- skeptically inquired the brunette glaring at the priest - … what am I to do with this?- he swiftly inquired, at which he received no reply from the priest, who simply smiled -of course … you have no idea right? - whispered the brunette, feeling the piece of paper being pulled at. Looking down, he saw Kazamasa trying to get the piece of paper form him.
The apprentice released the sheet, and Kazamasa suddenly stood up and walked to the alter, and grabbing the quill, he wrote something else. He then walked towards the priest handing him the paper, and went back to his seat.
-I see … - whispered the priest, who then walked over to the apprentice, newly handing him the piece of paper.
Pride
Envy
Wrath
Sloth
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
Yutaka observed the scratched nouns, quickly glanced at Kazamasa, the priest, and the paper again. He still wondered why they simply couldn't explain things to him, instead of giving him such a run around, but he had to learn to stop asking himself such rational questions in such place.
-Well, that is as far as I go I am afraid … - declared the priest - … however, if you ever needed advise or anything else, you know where to find me- concluded the priest with a smile bowing at the brunette - on last thing ...-swiftly added the priest, gaining the younger's full attention - … nothing... never mind- he then concluded with another smile and walking away
Yutaka heavily sighed, absently staring at the piece of paper, he still didn't understand how it was going to help him, but that was all he got. He kept on staring and sighing at the paper, as he occasionally glanced at Kazamasa, before being startled by the opening of the door, as he swiftly turned around.
-Mr. Uke? … Shou? ...- loudly whispered Kazuhiro - … are you alright? -he inquired getting closer to the couple - I am sorry for what have happen, I tired to say something but … - uttered the blonde -I promise, from now on I am done with being inactive!- firmly exclaimed the blond - I am ready to fight - he then concluded smiling at Kazamasa.
Yutaka simply nodded, still staring at the paper.
-Inactive ...- he then whispered, repeating the word stated by the blond - … Inactive … sloth … scratched... - He then looked up at the blond, and down to the paper, up to the blond, and down to the paper, up to the blond and … could it have been? ...
-Anything the matter? -... curiously asked Kazuhiro looking at the paper as well
-No at all … - weakly smiled Yutaka - … Shou … - he then called, looking towards the blond - I think we are on - he firmly concluded, at which the younger, merely nodded, adding a seemingly grateful smile; yes, it really wasn't over yet.
