Episode 9
****************************
A smoke flew out from Hide's beautiful lips. Still, there is no conversation between red-headed father and black-haired son on the dinner table. Ryu didn't lift his face up. He kept concentrate only on his dish. Finally Hide broke up the ice with question.
"Ryu.. Why don't Hakuei come dine with us? It's been about one week, huh?"
Ryuichi didn't answer but kept on chewing his steak. From that day, Hakuei tried to avoid facing Ryuichi. When he saw Ryu, he just smiled and gave a little nod the way gentlemen would do. Without meeting Ryu's eyes, Hakuei turned away without saying anything.
"Answer, my son !!!!!"
Ryu thought drew back as Hide pounded his fist loudly on the table. He hated to be ignored.
Ryu gave a long sigh before replying coldly.
"You don't have to pretend. You know exactly for what you two had done to Toshi-san's company"
"Don't say that bastard's name in front of me again!!!!! AND I don't understand what had I done together with Hakuei?"
Ryu stared back
"You know it!!! You and Hakuei had planned together. That's why he came and be your assistant"
Hide lift one of his eyebrows and laughed loudly with pleasure
"Heeheee I thought you were misunderstanding sth. It's only me who that damn guy was defeated. Do you think I need other people hand? Nope!!!!!!"
Hide grinned while Ryu stopped shouting back in shock
"You mean you did it alone"
"Why not?!"
The red-haired man said proudly to himself but Ryu didn't keep listening. He felt guilt for blaming Hakuei for what he hadn't done and Ryuichi knew that he must apologize.
***************************
* In the grand hall : 9:30 a.m. *
"O.k. Go get Mr. Pata here. Tell Mr. Toshiya to bring in the documents. We'll discuss about I.C.C project in the meeting this afternoon"
Hakuei ordered his secretary, Kaoru. about the meeting after lunch. Just then, he felt that someone was watching him. He turned and saw Ryuichi was standing there. Seeing Hakuei was staring, Ryu walked slowly toward him. Before Ryu opened his mouth, Hakuei suddenly spoke out.
"Good morning, "Ryuichi-sama""
Ryu stunned how Hakuei had called him.
And again, before Ryu answered, Hakuei hurriedly said.
"I'm very sorry but I've to attend the meeting. Please give me an excuse"
The tall man slightly bowed his head, turned swiftly, and walked away.
By the time Ryu knew what happened, Hakuei had gone far.
Kaoru, Hakuei's secretary was surprised by his boss action to Ryu. He turned left to see Hakuei's back and then, turned right to see Ryu's depressed face. He didn't know what had happened between them as normally, Hakuei used to be very happy when he saw Ryu. Ryu stood there, silent.
"ano.... Ryuichi-san ..."
Kaoru tried to comfort Ryu. But Ryu didn't pay attention at him. His brown eyes followed Hakuei's direction. In short time, Ryu made a quick decision. He ran toward Hakuei and grabbed his arm. Hakuei was surprised by the black hair's action. Ryu breathed heavily to fill the air into his lungs as Hakuei's paces were faster than him. He firmly looked into Hakuei's eyes and managed to speak with a little smile.
" wh.... when will the meeting finish? ..I can wait"
Ryu asked. Hakuei gazed at Ryu and moved his lips.
"No, you don't have to wait. It gonna be long. I don't know when will we finish"
He replied in a flat tone lowering his eyelids.
"It's time now"
Hakuei added. Ryu paused. He released Hakuei's arm. The blond-haired called his secretary and made to the doorway.
***************************
The long brown-haired man dresses in black was searching for the pink-haired man but didn't see even his shadow. He noticed someone near altar and called out the his name.
"Tet-chan!!!!!"
The tall man turned to see Hyde and replied politely.
"Haido-sama, please don't call by that name. Gackt-sama'll be angry"
"Why do you have to care about my dad? We are friends and don't call me with that "sama" again! Call me the way you call me before"
"Haido-sama!"
Tetsu turned his head away, feeling not comfort.
"Tet-chan!!"
"Alright, Haido"
Tetsu said lifting both of his hands up, surrender. He couldn't win Hyde since they were children.
"That's it. Tet-chan, now tell me, do you see Sugi-chan?"
"errr No"
"God! Where is that Lucifer! The crowd was going to leave but he was gone without trace!!"
"I thought.. Sugi-sama don't want to see anyone"
Tetsu explained calmly. Hyde looked at him for a moment and then, sighed.
"We're all sorry for what had happened for his mother. But this is the last time, the funeral, how can we tell those people.... " Hyde stopped as he some thought just came into his mind.
"Or... " His face went pale.
"No !!! I hope he didn't do anything stupid !!!! FIND HIM!!"
As quick as he thought, Hyde shouted out loudly until everyone came to the scene.
"No need to find me.."
A voice rose from a tall figure in dark suit lying his back against the wall. It was Sugizo. He stared to the other side of the opened hall, aimlessly, drunken.
Hyde's face was brightened.
"Sugi-chan!"
Hyde ran toward the pink-haired man and hugged him tightly. He could smell a strong scent of alcohol over Sugi's body. Also he could feel Sugi’s deep sorrow.
"Where’ve you been? I'm so concerned with you..." Hyde buried his little head into Sugi's chest and hoel him tight.
Tetsu felt something chilled him from his legs to his heart. He controlled his feeling and looked away from the sight of those two figures.
Sugizo's eyes examined the little body in front of him and put his arms around Hyde and pulled him back a little.
"Hyde.... After we finished this....funeral..., I've to talk to you"
He spoke slowly and firmly
Hyde made a questioned face to Sugi's usual reaction but couldn’t figure out whether it was caused by the alcohol.
The pink head slowly came forward and looked at his mother one last.
**************************************
"Hakuei please forgive me. I'm the fool not knowing you're innocent"
"Yes. It's true! You fool. Don't come near me again!!!!!!! Get out ! I don't want to see your face!!!!"
A long sigh came from soft lips. Ryu felt stupid practicing how to apologize Hakuei.
"What should I do...."
Ryu softly muttered as he laid his chin on his arms. After thinking for 3-5 times for this morning, Ryu rose up .
"I must finish this today"
****************************
"Hakuei!"
The blond hair this time didn't turn to look who called him but faster his paces.
"Hakuei!!!!"
Ryu called and ran after him as fast as he could but still couldn't follow Hakuei speed. The black hair didn't give up. He opened his mouth widely and shouted with all the power from his lung.
"Die! stop him!!"
A figure with red head coming from nowhere fell on Hakuei's body. He locked Hakuei's both hands. Hakuei lifted his face up and stared at Ryu, annoyed.
Ryuichi was frightened seeing Die violently stop Hakuei. He ordered Hide’s guard to release the blond hair. The red-haired man stepped back and disappeared like windblow. Ryu looked at Hakuei feeling uneasy.
“ano… gomenne… I didn’t expect him to hurt you”
Hakuei shoved the dust from his shoulder and spoke in sarcastically tone.
“I didn’t know you care about the others”
Hakuei felt sorry for what he had just said as Ryu’s face turned sad.
“Please Hakuei… I don’t expect you to forgive me but but…. At least please take my apology”
“For what? Ryuichi-sama”
Ryu stopped a bit and spoke.
“I know I am wrong. I missunderstood you. I mean… I should know you won’t do such a thing but I hurt you with my… bad mood”
Hakuei lifted up one of his eye-brows and asked
“So what do you want from me ?”
“You can do me a punishment”
“Like what?”
“errr…..Like hit me or punch me”
Ryu said nervously and bowed down his head, prepared himself for such a punishment. Hakuei was feeling better seeing Ryu felt sorry for blaming him.
“So… come to my room tonight”
Hakuei whispered near Ryu’s ear. Ryu lifted his face up, shock. His face was out of blood.
“aaa.. I ..I”
Seeing Ryu’s reaction, Hakuei burst out into laugh. He put his arm around the slim man and lovingly brushed Ryu’s soft black hair.
“hahaha I’m joking. Don’t worry. I forgive you”
Ryu managed to smile back
***********************
“Yukari-chan, do you see today newspaper?” Ryu asked his maid in the morning.
He couldn’t find any newspaper for a week feeling like living behind the mountain.
A beautiful long-haired maid*sweatdropped* worrriedly replied that he had already used them to clean the mirror.
Ryuichi found that this was a bit strange. Using today’s newspaper to clean the mirror? Moreover, His private maid had never used his delicate hands to clean the mirror himself. He always ordered other to do for him.
***************
*Knock knock*
*douzo!!!*
Hakuei voiced out to whomever knocked on his door room. Ryu sneaked his head in and asked
“Hakuei, can I borrow your newspaper?”
Hakuei jumped a little seeing who came to visit him and tried to hide the newspaper in his hand to his back.
“What? You’re reading it? Let me borrow when you finish”
No answer from the blond-haired man.
“Is there something wrong?”
Ryu noticed that the blond hair tried to hide something. He walked toward Hakuei but Hakuei seemed to step back. Hummm .. this must be concerning with the newspaper.
“Let me see it!”
Ryu snatched the newspaper from Hakuei and began to scan it. His eyes widen by the head line of the leading news. He let the newspaper fell on the floor and looked at Hakuei.
“What is behind all this?”Ryu’s voice was shaking.
“Ryu.. I”
“Why do you have to cover this up from me!!!!?”
“I am the one who tell them to do so”
A voice came out from the newcomer with red hair. Ryu gave a quick glance to his father. He asked loudly.
“Dad. Why don’t you tell me Sugi’s mother had gone and….”
“And what” Hide asked calmly and continued while patting softly on Ryu’s shoulder.
“My son, why don’t you go buy him a wedding present? At least, he is now our employee. Tomorrow we will go to his wedding”
No words escaped from Hakuei and Ryu’s lips. The room was filled only with Hide laugh.
