CHAPTER 5


The next day passed quickly and I spent it like there was nothing wrong with me.. nothing at all. To them, I probably seemed like the same old Fuuko..but they didn't know. The day was over before I knew it. I ended up taking the train back to my apartment because Mikagami was dragged along by Recca and Domon to a party. I had chosen not to go in favor of packing and getting ready for my noon flight tomorrow. I had said my good byes to all of them and promised that I would visit.. all the while with a fake smile plastered on my face. I lay down on my bed and savored the moment. After all, tomorrow, it would be back to uncomfy airplane seats and rickety motel beds. But for some reason I couldn't get Mikagami's face out of my mind..

** It's because you love him you dolt!**

I laughed bitterly. I didn't deserve to be loved.. I had run out on them-- on *him*! and nearly caused him to die..I didn't deserve him.. I deserved to rot in hell. As per usual now, I succumbed to a fitful and dreamless sleep.

I woke up the next day feeling no more refreshed than the moment I fell asleep. I hurriedly got dressed and stuffed my remaining belongings into my carry-on bag. My gaze lingered on thin slivery strands of hair that clung to my comb and couldn't help but remember him. I put the comb away and rushed outside luggage and all waiting for *him* to pick me up. He was supposed to pick me up at eight but he wasn't there. There was no sign of his silvery hair or of his car. I grew worried but covered it up with the thought that maybe he decided that I had been a pest long enough and that I could get to the airport by myself. I glanced at my watch again, it was already nine. Mikagami was never late-- ever. Guess I was right.. then *why* for god's sake did I have this feeling in my gut that something was going to happen? I usually listened to my gut. It had never been wrong--ever. When my gut says : LOOK OUT TORNADO AHEAD, it was usually right. What made this time different? I really don't know.

As a last resort, I called up Yanagi from the payphone at the corner. To do what?.. probably just say goodbye and ask if Mikagami was alright.. The phone rang three times before She finnaly picked up.

"Moshi-Moshi Hanabishi residence how may I help you?"

"Yanagi-chan! this is Fuuko, has Mikagami been around? He was supposed to pick me up..but he didn't show.. um I'll just take a cab so if he does show up can you tell him? **tell him what?** um..tell him good bye?" I let loose everyword in a single breath and waited for her reaction.

"Well.. Fuu-chan, Mikagami-kun hasn't been here since last night..Recca and some of the guys dragged him to a bar.. he *should* be home right now or on his way.. I gotta go.. Recca's calling me" I heard the phone click shut and the unspoken threat.. he *Should* be there unless something happened to him..and if something does...I'll never forgive you.

I looked up at the sky and blinked. It was wierd-- the continuity of the blue summer sky was broken by a single black cloud. I drew my jacket closer as the temperature dropped significantly. Definitely wierd.. I saw a flash of yellow and signalled to the cab driver to stop. As we loaded my luggage, I couldn't help but glance up again. The cloud was still there, increasing in size and moving too fast..tornado? no.. there aren't any tornado's in Japan..freak thunderstorm? probably.. but where's the lightning--?

"Aight Miss! Where to?" the toothless cab driver asked.

"Tokyo International Airport please" I replied automatically and continued to observe the freaky weather.

"Weird weather today eh Miss? I'd swear that that cloud wasn't there this mornin..real wierd weather these days.." he grinned toothilly and switched on the radio turning the knob this way and that finnaly settling on a popular station. I didn't care. I was mesmerized with my black cloud. Oddly enough, it had started snowing.. it was wierd.. not normal snow-- wait I take that back.. the snow looked normal enough however, they didn't spiral down like normal snow. There was no wind to blow them around. I continued staring out the window and trying to place *what* exactly this phenomenon was..

"Oh poor guy, he's such a good lad too.." muttered the driver.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Have ya been listening at all Miss??" he snapped irritably.

"THERE! listen:"

-- An unfortunate accident occured in Tokyo today when truck collided head on with a silver honda. The truck driver was pronounced dead at 10:32 am. The occupant of the silver Honda -- Mikagami Tokiya is currently in Critical condition held at the Tokyo General Hospital. The drama star is reportedly improving however,the hospital staff is urging all those well-wishers to please stay in their homes. Now for the weather report..--

My mind turned blank the moment the announcer had said his name.. I couldn't think..It couldn't be no no no no no ..

"Take me to Tokyo General now!" I didn't even recognize my voice as I yelled at the surprised driver.

"Hey Miss didn't ya hear the announcement??? it said DO NOT GO. Who are you anyway?? Some Relative?"

" Yeah.. you can say that. Look." I said. My temper rapidly vanishing as it continued to snow like there was no tomorrow. " Mikagami Tokiya is all I have left in my life. YOU take me in THERE or I'll @$%^&^^(*� do it myself!"

"Atta girl!" The old man cheered and floored the gas pedal nearly ramming the cars in the process. We were on the highway to the hospital in minutes. However, the snow had started to get heavier and the traffic had begun to jam impossibly.

"Dammit!" I swore. We were never going to get there at this rate! I recognized the symptoms of an incoming screaming-hissy-fit and tried desperately to calm down.

"Sorry Miss, this is far as we can go unless you can fly." he muttered. It took a second before the word "fly" registered in my brain. I could use my fujin! suddenly I remembered Mikagami's objections to using madougo for personal gains..PERSONAL GAINS MY ASS! I was getting up to him no matter what! I grinned and nearly kissed the driver. I hurriedly explained my plan as he nodded absently. He probably thought I had gone insane. I charged up the fujin and summoned a miniature tornado to carry me as quick as humanly possible towards the hospital. If anyone would have seen me running-- no flying at top speed they would have thought me a demon. hehe..LOOK OUT FLYING TOMBOY BRAT AHEAD!!!

I reached the hospital in record time. It was already crammed with Mikagami fans...good god. The sheer stupidity of some people! Most of them gave me the evil eye as they whispered amongst themselves. "Is that the Bitch that Mikagami-sama hangs around with?.. I mean look at her-- s-she's flat! Why would he possibly want *HER* when he could have *ME*!!" Whined a woman who's boobs were on the danger side of flopping out --so as to speak -- of her skimpy outfit. I growled and gave her the finger. I headed for an elevator when the head nurse wasn't looking and punched the close button before anyone could possibly get in without loosing a hand or a foot. I smiled sheepishly at my companions in the lift. Their faces were pale with shock as they stared at the "escaped lunatic" that I was. I looked at each on of them and settled on an orderly. I put on a sickly sweet grin and asked him where Mikagami Tokiya's room was. Luckily he was too afraid to lie or even refuse to answer. When the lift opened at the said floor, I launched myself out and ran to his room hearing the occasional "hey" "What the hell?" and " @#$% ^&*" from some patients that I had "accidentally" knocked over. I finnaly reached the room and pushed open the curtains....
