The Magical Play : Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7 “Emperor of Konan”

After making their stomachs full Tezuka & Tamahome exited the restaurant. “Ah... That was fulfilling. Don’t you think?” Tamahome said then turned to Tezuka who nodded in return. “Hmm. So you turn to being stoic again huh? I wonder where that cry baby go?” Tamahome got a glare as a reply because of that and he just laugh at that. ‘Well at least he is fine now.’ As they looked at front they noticed at how the people form a crowd in the street. “What’s going on?” Tezuka asked Tamahome. “Ah! Today is the day that the emperor will take his annual visit here.” “Emperor?” Tezuka asked quietly.

As they looked ahead they noticed guards in red armours. Some riding horses, some walking while holding a red flag with a drawing of a red bird and the others are holding weaponry surrounding  a carriage decorated with the finest silk of red and gold and more elaborated decorations, being carried by four soldiers. The carriage is surrounded with red curtains not letting anyone to see who is inside but of course everyone knows that it is the emperor. This simple visit is more like a parade for Tezuka and he was amazed with the happenings.

“It is really nice for the emperor to have his visit in this place. This act encourage the people to work harder.” Tamahome said to Tezuka also amazed at the event happening. “Hmmm... Of course Emperors are the most important person in an empire. The whole land depends on him. He had the biggest responsibility upon all. If the emperor didn’t take full care of his land it will be destroyed or will be taken by other empire who is much stronger. A leader should act as a Leader.” Tezuka finished his sentence with a nod. Tamahome looked at him dumbfounded at what he heard. Who would have thought that this young man  not only have beauty but also brains. “Wow... You know a lot.” Tezuka looked at him then said matter of factly “We study it at school. Everything about ancient China.”

Tamahome was about to say something when suddenly they heard a loud voice growl and they looked at the direction of the commotion. “Get out of the way!!!” one of the soldier growled loudly in front of an old man who is now kneeling on the dirty road cowering in fear but still determined to do something. “But I just want to talk to the emperor. I need his help.” “Speaking with His Highness is forbidden unless you are given permission! Get out of the way!” “But-“

Tamahome looked at the pitiful scene. “That old man should just follow what the soldier ordered. Right Te-“ His sentence was cut off when he looked at his side but the man he is talking with earlier was not there anymore. He was bewildered to see his companion in the middle of the commotion standing in front of the man and protecting him while giving the soldier a solid, stoic, and fierce glare. “Geez... That man knows how to create problem.”

When Tezuka saw that the soldier is about to hit the old man he rushed forward and step in front of the old man to protect him, this action shocked the soldier that made him to stop on his way of hitting the old man. He glared at the soldier then squat down to talked to the old man. “Daijobou ka.” (Are you alright?) “A-ah... Thank you young man.” “Ah. Don’t worry Ojii-san, If it’s ok with you let me be the one to talk  with the Emperor.” The old man is a bit hesitant at first  but agreed with Tezuka’s suggestion in the end. After making sure that the old man is already fine Tezuka focused his attention to the soldier behind him. “Can you please tell me how to get permission to be able to talk to the Emperor?” Tezuka asked the soldier calmly and in a very business-like manner. Of course he is used in this kind of talks, what’s the use of being the Student Council President and Captain of the Tennis Club? The soldier looked at him dumbly not expecting a very polite approach and looked at the other soldiers asking them their opinion but just like him they don’t even know what to stay. While Tezuka just looked at them very determined on what he is about to do while waiting patiently for the reply and Tamahome not far away keeping an eye on Tezuka ready to make an action in case something unnecessary happen to the young man.

When suddenly from inside the carriage someone suddenly said. “Seize that man and bring him to the palace!”

It has been a very great day for Hotohori. Ever since he woke up he felt like something good is going to happen. He never doubt his sixth sense, so when everything seems to go on his way, like his advisors letting him to do everything he wants and giving him sometime for himself, he knew this day would be the day he is waiting for.

Today is the scheduled date for the town visit and he is looking forward to it. This visit is the only chance for allowing him to go outside the palace albeit there are guards around him. As he was being carried around his thoughts drifted to his dream last night. Last night’s dream is the most wonderful one for it is a dream about the priest of Suzaku being sent into their world. He saw the priest of Suzaku in his dream but what a pity since he never saw his face. He is still hoping up until now that the priest is coming to their world to save them, his empire. There’s been a lot of problems happening lately and he is hoping that Suzaku will sent his priest soon and after all the problems being solve he is going to... Hotohori’s thoughts were cut off when a commotion outside happen to reach his ears.

He looked at his side and ask one of the soldier outside hoping nothing serious is happening. “Is something the matter?” The soldier flinch a bit upon hearing the emperor. “Ah. Your Highness.” He bowed then wait for the emperor to talk again. “I’m asking if something is wrong since my vision here inside is a bit bleary.” He stated with a high voice he used when he is feeling irritated. The soldier tensed again

upon hearing the voice then answered. “T-there is this old man that suddenly comes in the way wanting to talk to you Your Highness. And the general thinks it’s not a good idea...” “And?” Hotohori asked again knowing it is not the end of the story. “But the old man is very determined to do so and when General Hakuro decided to take action a young man protected him and is now asking General Hakuro on how to get permission to talk to you Your Highness.” The soldier finished his sentence. “A young man you say.” Hotohori said a thinking deeply. “Yes. Your Highness. I believe he is the same age as you or younger. And I also believe that he is the foreigner everyone is talking about.” Hotohori got surprised upon hearing the word foreigner so he asked again. “There is a foreigner in my land?” “Yes Your Highness.” “Is he from another land?” “I don’t believe so Your Highness. His clothing and appearance is a lot different from ours.”

Hotohori’s eyes grew wide upon hearing this then he remember the tale of the priest being sent by Suzaku. A young man will be sent by the Beast God Suzaku to save the whole empire from devastation. A young man who is from another world being different than any of us in clothing and appearance. He will never ever forget that tale and he always believe that it will come true. He turned in front of him and in a loud voice he ordered “Seize that man and bring him to the palace!”

The Magical Play : Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 “The Present Time: New Priest?”

“Now that the priest of Suzaku is back to his own self, he smiled genuinely while watching the man with the mark of an ogre on his forehead lead him excitedly..” Kunikazu sighed thankfully. He is grateful that someone is there to calm down Kunimitsu. “He must be one of the Suzaku Warriors that’s why he is easily attracted to Kunimitsu.” He said to himself but there is this thought in the back of his mind that is telling him otherwise. It’s not a surprise that the Suzaku Warriors would be the one to find their priest subconsciously but the bond Kunimitsu and this Tamahome is showing in the book is quite different.

Then Kunikazu laugh softly. “It is like Kuniharu and Nakago the moment they met each other for the first time.” He said subconsciously. Then he froze. ‘No don’t tell me...’ his thoughts were cut off when someone knock on the door. “Come in.” The door opened and it reveal his son. “Father there is some-“ Kuniharu stop on his track when he saw the book his father is holding. The bad vibes he had earlier came back in full blast. ‘I hope this means nothing.’ He thought. “Why are you reading that father?” Kuniharu asked his father who is about to answer but was stopped by another presence. “Excuse me, Father.” Ayana came through the door and was surprised to see his husband also there. “Oh Anata (Husband/dear/Wife), you’re here too.” Kunikazu focused his attention to his daughter-in-law first for he know that whatever his son want from him might take long. “Ayana is there something that you want?”

Ayana averted her gaze to his Father-in-law. “Well I was looking for Kunimitsu. His tennis balls are scattered in the backyard it’s so unlike him to left it all  there. I was hoping if you have seen him. How about you Haru?” Ayana looked from his father to his husband. “Well the last time I have seen is in the backyard practicing. Have you check his room.” Kuniharu explained then asked his wife again. Ayana gave him an affirmative nod. As their conversation goes on they have not notice how Kunikazu tensed the moment he heard Ayana looking for Kunimitsu. Should he tell them? That’s the question that is in his mind. They are Kunimitsu’s parents it is only right to tell them where their son is. But how will they react? Especially Kuniharu, since he experience the life inside the book.

And before their conversation about the whereabouts of their son got long Kunikazu cleared his throat to get their attention. Both husband and wife looked at their father. “I know where Kunimitsu is.” And then Kuniharu’s heart clench tightly. He can’t help but connect this unsettling feeling to Kunimitsu. But why? And he got his answer immediately the moment Kunikazu raised the book he is holding. “Kunimitsu is inside the book.”

Ayana gasped. Of course she know what might happen to her Kunimitsu inside there. Kuniharu looked at his father. No not Kunimitsu. Not their son. Him escaping that world is a miracle without him being harmed. But what about his son? What if something happened to him there that is much more dangerous.  “What are you talking about father? That can’t be true. The story is finished, isn’t it?” Kuniharu asked with an edge in his voice. Kunikazu noticed this and he can’t blame his son for being like this for he is the same as him when Kuniharu is in there. “Seiryuu’s story is the one who is finished. And it is now Suzaku’s turn.” Kunikazu said sternly. “But you said that Seiryuu is the last one of the four beast gods. How come it is now Suzaku’s turn?” Kuniharu is confused. Isn’t he the last priest because Seiryuu is the last beast god?

“That’s what we know. But an old friend of mine told me that there is the confusion between the birth of Suzaku and Seiryuu. No one knows who come first and they assume it is Suzaku then Seiryuu is the last one. But 10 years ago, when they found the book glowing red in the temple where they hid it they had a realization that Seiryuu isn’t the last one and you are not the last priest. The story is not finish. It is not finish and Kunimitsu is now the new priest.” Kunikazu finish his long dialogue. And then there was silence. Kuniharu on his knees with his face hid on his palms. Ayana found her support on the wall behind her and  hands on her face not believing that the past is repeating itself again. Kunikazu looked at the book in his hands. The next page is still blank not giving answer to what  is happening to his only grandson. Only one question is in their head. How are they going to save Kunimitsu and take him out of the book before he can summon and be summoned by one of the Fiercest Beast God Suzaku?

Everything is silent when the book suddenly glow with  red light  then words started to appear on the blank page like someone is writing on it. Kunikazu looked at it surprisedly. “Kuniharu words started to appear.” Kuniharu stood up suddenly and run to reach his father’s side immediately looking at the book. “What does it say?” Ayana walked to them a bit shaky while asking and eager to know what is happening to their Kunimitsu who is inside of the book who had no clue what is waiting for him there and what his faith there will be.

The Magical Play : Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5 “I’ll Help You”

‘Why won’t he just leave me alone? He wouldn’t even talk about it. What’s with him he pissed me off.’ Tamahome thought to himself looking discretely at the young man determined to be his stalker. And since he has very little patience he exploded. He stopped on his tracks and faced his so called stalker who also stopped walking and was now looking at him with expressionless face. ‘That expressionless face pissed me off the most.’ “What do you really want?!” he yelled gathering attention around them but he never mind them. The stalker, as he dubbed him, just looked at him stoically not answering. “ARRGHH!!” Tamahome threw his hand up in the air because of frustration then turn his back at the stalker and continued walking not really noticing the small and unnoticeable smirk plastered on the stalkers face.

After a few minutes again... “Will you stop following me!!!” Tamahome yelled frustrated. “Why?” Finally Tezuka talked to him but his answer is not the one Tamahome wants the most. “Now you finally talked and the only thing you said is WHY??!!” he retorted, very angry of what is happening. “Will you stop yelling. It’s not polite.” Tezuka said calmly very amused of the frustrated man. “Now you’re lecturing me about good manners. Why don’t you follow your own polite manners and stop following me because as what you said it is NOT POLITE!!.”

Tezuka sighed this man is hard to handle. “Isn’t it obvious. You’re the only one I know that’s why I’m sticking at you.” Tezuka explained to the man in front of him as if that is the most logical reason. Tamahome looked at him dumbfounded. ‘WHAT??’ he thought to himself. “Then why don’t you just be friended with someone else and stop following me.” He said. Really any moment now he’s going to strangle this man whether he is beautiful. “Yadda.” (don’t want to.) Came the stubborn reply. Oh the stubbornness of this young and gorgeous man plus his oh so frowning face. ‘Ah! I know what to do!’ Tamahome thought about something then smirked mentally. ‘Now you will really leave me alone. He he he...’

“Are you really sure about going with me. You see I’m on my way to my client and I was supposed to bring him SOMETHING. But since you are so willing to come and I forgot  to look for that SOMETHING giving you to my client isn’t a bad thing  after all. You’re beautiful in your own way. I’m sure you will pass.” Then Tamahome gave him a lopsided grin. ‘Oh I’m really sure he’s leaving me now.’ Tezuka looked at the man in front of him like he had grown another head then something clicked inside his head. ‘Oh so that’s how it is’ He said to himself. “So... You’re one of those guys who SELL YOUNG GIRLS FOR PROFIT.” He said the last part a bit louder for the people around them to hear to get the reaction he needed and he did.

“What?! Oy everyone stay away from that man.” One man said. “And he looks like a sweet boy but who would have thought...” An old woman said. “Maybe he is using his looks to get his victims. What a shame.” Another one in the crowd said. “Everyone be careful.” Tamahome looked around as this happen and he started to panic. ‘Oh boy... This is not good. And this is all this man’s fault.’ “Yeah... You hea-“ and Tezuka was not able to continue whatever he is about to say since Tamahome suddenly covered his mouth stopping him instantly. “Ah Ha Ha Ha... Don’t you worry everyone my dear friend here is just kidding around there’s no need to worry. I’m not like what you think. We gotta go now. Bye!!!” And Tamahome run as fast as he can while holding the hand and dragging the so called stalker who threatened him instead. And Tezuka patted himself on the back mentally for the job well done. Who knows that Fuji’s sadistic schemes can be easily applied here.

When they are already in a very secluded place of the town Tamahome stopped running but never letting go of the hand. He took a deep breath then faced the culprit of all of this. “You know what...” he started looking at the hazel nut haired man. Tezuka looked at him as if he hadn’t been running. Of course he is used at running because of the tennis training. “Just – Why can’t you just leave me alone?” Tamahome asked slowly and calmly maybe being patient would work. “Haven’t I told you already the reason?” the man in front of him looked at him as if not believing what he heard. So Tezuka continued. “You see – By the way my name is Tezuka Kunimitsu...” he said his name not even sure why, so he continued his explanation.

“As you can see I – “ Tezuka stopped in the middle of his sentence not knowing how to reveal to the man that he didn’t belong to this world without even making him looked like in a nut case. “You can tell me everything.” The man in front of him spoke so calmly then squeeze his hand, reassuring him that he don’t mind whatever he said. And this is what made Tezuka to tell the person in front of him what he feel. He looked straight at the man’s grey eyes. “I – I just want to go home. To the world where I really belong.” Tezuka said then avoided the gaze. The man will surely laugh at him thinking that he was crazy.

Tamahome’s eyes widened at what he heard, shock written clearly on his face and his hold on the young man’s hand loosened a bit. “You don’t belong in this world?” he asked still not believing what he heard clearly. The young man nodded his head and Tamahome’s grip loosened more, already on the verge of letting the hand go. But he feel something weird. Like if he let it go he will lose everything, he will lose this young man. So he remained his hold like that, not tough as to make room for the young man’s pulse that he can feel. ‘His hand is warm.’

Tezuka felt the hold loosened. ‘Maybe he think I’m crazy and he’s going to run away from me. I’m going to miss this hand.’ He thought sadly. In his 15 years of existence he had never felt this sad ever. The moment he saw how the young man’s eyes saddened Tamahome regretted loosening his hold. ‘Whether I say that I want him to stop following me I still want him to keep on running after me. To stay here with me.’ Tamahome blush on what he is thinking and the way he thinks about this gorgeous man in front of him. To top it all HE is thinking this way about a MAN!!. Tamahome shook his head and stop whatever incoherent things he is thinking about this man. He focused his attention on the man in front of him again. “I know you don’t believe me. But I was hoping you can help me go back.” Tezauka said.

“Why me?” Tamahome asked him. And Tezuka started to search for the answer inside his head and the only answer he had is... “Because it is YOU.” He said softly but harder by the last part. Tamahome gave him a confused look. “I don’t know. I just feel that you had something that may help me. I don’t understand at all. I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS WORLD AT ALL.!!” Tezuka punch Tamahome lightly on his broad chest while shouting the last part then rested his forehead on the man’s chest. Frustration eating his calm and composed mask, making his true emotions flow out of him. He is really confused in this world that is so foreign to him. He did not know what to expect. He just want to go back to the world that he is so familiar with. He want to go back to the world where your only problem is your crazy but very passionate teammates, how to escape Fuji’s sadistic schemes that will give him massive headaches, student council works, school, how to improve his tennis skills more, and a lots more where everything is normal for him. Not this world that seems to eat him alive.

‘I want to go back.’ Tezuka thought miserably who cares that he looks miserable like now. Who cares if he is crying right now. This attitude of him is what he hates the most. Whenever everything is too much for him, whenever his patience broke loose his family is always there to comfort him and make sure everything is fine for they are the ones who raced him. But right now there’s no family to call for. No mother to rub his back until he calm down. No father that will sooth him through encouraging words when he needs one. No grandfather that will discipline him for his childish actions but will talk to him calmly after his punishment. No one. Then he tensed when he felt large warm arms encircling him, like protecting him from everything around. Reassuring him that everything will be fine. Then he relaxed in those arms and let the man hugging him comfortably to soothe the pain he is feeling.

Tamahome was shock to see the man in front him brake. He watch as the tough face earlier crumpled showing pain, fear from being in an alien world, loneliness from being away from your home. He may not be able to see it for the man hid his face in his chest but he can fell by the way the man tremble and sob silently. ‘Well at least even in crying he remain silent. Just the way he really is.’ Then Tamahome did the only thing he could think of. He hugged Tezuka, comforting him and trying his best to make him stop crying. Well it isn’t everyday you see a man crying in front of you. When the young man tensed he didn’t know what to do but was glad that he relaxed in his arms. ‘Although this looks wrong it feels right for him to fit so perfectly in my arms.’ Tamahome thought to himself with a small smile.

No words were exchange. Just the presence of each other is what makes it all perfect. None of them want to let go. Not wanting the serene (or romantic) atmosphere to break. “I’ll help you.” Tamahome suddenly said. Tezuka looked at the man in front of him not believing him. “What do you mean?” “I’ll help you get back to your own home. Of course you can pay me after that.” Tamahome said the last part humorously. Tezuka nodded then disentangled himself from the comfortable arms. Suddenly his stomach growled loudly and Tamahome laugh loudly and Tezuka glared at him. “Seems like a dragon needs to be fed.” The glared become harder. “By the way, my name is Sou Kishuku but they call me Tamahome.” Tezuka nodded his mask back again. Tamahome noticed this but didn’t comment about it. ‘Maybe later.’ He think. Then another growl came and Tamahome laugh again. “Right. Right. I get it. Let’s go and feed that dragon.” And they walked out of the secluded area to find some food. Actually Tamahome is dragging Tezuka. He looks more like the one excited to eat than the one who’s stomach is growling. As they walk, unbeknownst to Tamahome, Tezuka had a small genuine smile on his face while remembering what happened earlier. ‘Maybe being here really isn’t bad.’

A/N: wahhh.... this chapter is so long. Who would have thought... Anyway, Iwas enjoying this scene that I didn’t recognize that it is taking so long. So onto the next chapter... – Mizzu-chan

The Magical Play : Chapter 4

Chapter 4 “Finding Him”

He definitely lost him. Now what should he do? He can feel there’s something in that guy that he need to find out. ‘No matter what I’m going to find him.’ He thought. After a walking for what seems like a thousand miles, Tezuka found himself looking at the magnificent structure of the ancient China. It seems like the pictures in books he read about ancient China became real just looking at the structures and designs of houses he see. “Wow I didn’t know ancient China looked this beautiful than any pictures in my books.”

From the hill he is at Tezuka looked around the magnificent sight making sure to carved every little detail in his head. ‘Might as well enjoy this trip. It’s not an everyday occurrence that you can do the moment you thought about it.’ He thought deeply. As he is scanning the whole surroundings, not minding all the quizzical stares he is getting, his eyes landed in a dark-blue haired guy with  his back at him. ‘That’s him! He better not get away this time.’ He run down the slope to be able to catch the martial artist that helped him earlier.

Because of his haste to catch the guy he didn’t notice the old lady that is on his way. CLASHH!!! Tezuka opened his eyes to see what or who did he bumped to. “I’m sorry.” He said apologetically while helping the old lady. “I’m sorry. Are you alright, Baa-sama?” When she was sure that she is fine now she looks up at him. “Ah... Don’t worry young man I’m fine now. Thank you for your help.” Tezuka nod at the old lady then looked ahead of him. The old woman noticed this and ask him. “It seems like your are in a hurry young man.” Tezuka nod again still finding his prey err... that man. “Well I won’t take your time anymore. Go now and find whatever that might be ahead. But you better be careful Ok. Don’t talk too much to strangers you’re a very beautiful man.” The old lady said with complete worry and scared for Tezuka’s safety.

Tezuka nod at her not listening at the whole thing the old lady said. He turn around and started to run to find that dark-blue haired guy again. And for the second time that day he lost him again. There’s no way that running around can find that guy. He needed to do something if he really wanted to find this guy. And that something is what he dreaded the most. Asking. He sighed deeply, screw that thinking he needed to act fast. He braced himself, then turn to the first guy that is in his line of sight. “Excuse me. But have you seen a guy with braided dark-blue hair that has a mark of an ogre on his forehead?”

The guy looked at him like he was some kind of an alien. Well he is really, he isn’t supposed to be here anyway.  “Uhmmm...” the guy is still finding his voice, not even sure how to answer.  But in the end after a lot of minutes passed the guy answered, “No?”  and the only thing Tezuka could think of is this... “This is going to be a long day.”

After asking around for, God-knows how long, he decided to rest for a while in a very secluded area. ‘My feet hurts like hell... and so is my throat. And I’m hungry and thirsty... Maybe not hungry but definitely thirsty.’ Tezuka thought. He was so deep  in his musings that he didn’t recognize that a guy had come his way. “Uh – excuse me.?”

The guy said.

Tezuka looked at the direction of the voice and found a man the same height as his  with black hair looking at him with a lopsided grin.  Tezuka replied with his best glare. The guy flinch because of the fiercest glare he had seen but regain his composure again after a few minutes. “Hey don’t worry I’m not that suspicious. I heard you were looking for a braided dark-blue haired guy with the mark of an ogre on his forehead.” He  started nonchalantly and Tezuka replied with a “Hn.” Prompting him to continue but the aforementioned didn’t get it but still continued. “I just thought that maybe the one you are looking for is one of my friends.”

The guy didn’t even know what to do he had never seen a guy that never had any expression on his face. Isn’t the guy supposed to jump in joy because he won’t have to look anymore? But the answer he receive is another “hn.” From Tezuka. And this time the guy exploded. “Aren’t you happy that I know where is the guy you’re looking for!!! You should jump in joy and thank me you BAKA!!!” the guy lashed out then took a deep breath after.

Tezuka scowled at the guy in front of him. How dare he called him an idiot. This guy had some nerves. Doesn’t he know who is he talking to? When the black haired guy saw the Scariest scowl directed at him he immediately run away fearing he would be killed by the looks, already forgetting that he is there in the first place to kidnap the young and beautiful man. But maybe not doing it would be the best thing to do.

Tezuka looked confused when the man run away, fear evident in his face. Well now he know that that guy would never bring any good to him. “Ha ha ha...” he heard someone laugh. He looked at the direction of the one that dared disturbed his solitude again. And what he saw shocked him, though it is not apparent on his face.

Tamahome was still savouring the last piece of his lunch when the conversation from the other table reached his ears. “Did you know the young man foreigner wearing different clothes from us wondering around looking for some guy with the mark of an ogre on his forehead?” the first man asked. “Ah yes... I even saw him asking someone.” His companion replied. “Really?” the other one sounded excited. But the rest of the conversation died in Tamahome’s ears as he is only focused on the first exchange of words. “That foreigner they were talking about must be the young man earlier. I wonder why he is looking for me?” he mused not so loud then decided to leave the restaurant to start looking for the only person he knows that is looking for him.

After walking for a while he finally found the guy earlier seating on a wood box seeming to be in deep thought. He was about to walk towards the young man when a black haired guy came to the young man. He hid behind a wall wondering what they were talking about. He didn’t hear anything since he was far from them, then he was shock with the turn of events. The black haired guy shouted with the word idiot in the end of the sentence and in a few minutes the black haired guy scampered away as if scared at the young man in front of him.

And that’s when he noticed the scowl on the young man  that might be the reason  why the black haired guy run away for his life. That was the fiercest scowl he had ever seen. And because of this he can’t help but not laugh. “Ha ha ha...” then the young still scowling man looked at him and that frightful face became a shock one.

After so many hours of looking around, finally he found what he is looking for. Standing there in front of him a few feet away. Oh, he might be lucky after all. “It’s you.” He uttered with a scowl remembering that this guy is the sole reason of his exhaustion. The man stopped his laughter then flinch. He smirked inwardly. He got that man and he is going to pay for his exhaustion.

The dark-blue haired guy straightened his posture and looked at him directly. Those eyes... ‘Oh dear...’ “So...” the dark-blue haired man started. “What do you want from me? I heard you are looking for me.” So he knows that he is looking for him. Wow the news in this time flies so fast. He nodded, staying silent. “Why?” the man in front of him asked. ‘Duh! Isn’t it obvious? You’re the only one I know.’ (A/N: remember this is his mind everything is possible.) “Well...” the man is getting impatient from his tone. Of course he wouldn’t get what Tezuka is thinking. So he decided to just leave him.

When the man started to leave Tezuka jumped from his sitting position to stop the man. “Wait!” Tezuka shouted. The dark-blue haired man turned at him and looked at him seriously. Tezuka looked straight into the guy’s eyes. ‘I think I have seen that guy’s eyes before. But where?’ Tezuka thought. “You know what I have tons of things to do. So I don’t have all day to have a staring contest with you. I was just curious on why on earth you are looking for me. But if you won’t talk I guess I’m going to leave then.” The guy said to Tezuka then started to leave again.

‘There’s no way he’s going to leave again after the trouble of finding him. Well then I’ll just tag along whether he liked it or not.’ (MIZZU-CHAN: Oh Tezuka what a stubborn person you are...) So he followed the man everywhere he go not minding the stares he got from other people. Screw them all. He won’t let this guy go again anywhere because he feel that this guy has the answer to his million questions.
