Chapter 12 Obviously Confused

Another chapter for the readers! Enjoy and please review. Thanks!

Seiya obliged to Usagi's small request, after all who would want to stay alone in the infirmary when their sick and honestly, he doesn't mind skipping class today. He sat down to the stool near Usagi's bed as he fixed the blanket over Usagi who is by now comfortably lying on the bed. Seiya took out a book from his bag and started reading, catching a glance at Usagi who is by now staring at the ceiling.

"Take your rest dumpling. I'll watch over you and make sure boogeyman doesn't get you." Seiya joked
"Ne, Seiya." Usagi bit her lip, but her curiosity is getting the best of her, she wanted to know why Seiya asked her to live with him, it's like his a mind reader since just this morning she was talking to Makoto about wanting to get her own place but can't afford it, maybe this is the answer to her prayer a free place to stay and with Seiya to boot!
"Hmm? What is it dumpling?" Seiya replied while reading his book
"What do you mean by me wanting to leave with you?" Usagi delivered the words out in an almost whispering manner and again it causes her to felt the ranging butterflies in her stomach.
At this, Seiya shot her a look and smiles flashing his perfectly white teeth like a toothpaste model
"Are you going to consider it then?" at this Seiya put down his book and leans to Usagi closer
Usagi is taken aback when Seiya's face came into a close proximity with her, she swallowed the building lump in her throat and answered "Well, yes."
Seiya's smile grew 5x larger "That's great. You'll love my sister and her best friend Rei you'll perfectly fit in."
"Seiya, why are you asking me to live with you?" Usagi clearly has no idea of what Seiya has in mind, she's confused, over whelmed and at the same time excited with the thought of living with Seiya and getting to be introduced to his family.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. Sorry dumpling, well you see my sister accidentally gets knocked-up by her boyfriend who has no idea she's pregnant and now that she's almost 7 months pregnant she needs all the help that she can get."
Everything synced in Usagi's head, Seiya doesn't need her the way she thought, he needs a nanny for his pregnant sister, Usagi doesn't know if she would be upset or grateful since this means she would for sure get a salary and a place to stay at the same time. Seiya noticing the girls quite reaction smacked his head literally.
"I should have asked you first if you are up to it but instead I blurted out confusing things."
"It's ok." Was all Usagi could respond.
"Hey, it's not like you'll be our maid, it's only for sis, Rei and I will clean up after our own"
Usagi met his gaze, which cause Seiya to tensed up.
"I'll have my own room, I'll get a monthly salary, and I'll get free food, water and electricity?"
Seiya's brows ceased a notch higher this girl really knows how to bargain for her own good.
"Yes, you'll get those things, I asked you this because I know I can trust you, my family doesn't need to know that sis is pregnant so if you happen to answer the phone and you got asked who are you, you can tell them you're my girlfriend and if worst comes to worst and someone suddenly went for a surprise visit your job is to stall them so that they won't see my sis and her big belly."
Girlfriend? Did I hear him correct? He wants me to be his pretend girlfriend? Talk to his other family member? Stall them and hide his sister? Girlfriend? Usagi's mind is racing and thinking is never her strong point.
"Why don't you just tell your family about your sister?" Usagi asked away
"Only I and my brothers know about sis, but mom and dad can never know, sis is the perfect daughter, she's also the eldest, the expectations of her from our parents, family friends, and company is very high, you can say she's a perfectionist and she doesn't want her name to be tainted. You can call it lame but that's what she wants. We actually have the same idea, if that we're to happen to me, I won't care what others might say."
Usagi saw a new side of Seiya, the compassionate and care-free side of him, the one that wants to live freely away from prying eyes of those who expects too much from them, Usagi knew Seiya is a good person inside and out but sometimes she feels that he is holding back something, something that in time in her stay in their house she knew he would reveal to her. I'll make you fall for me Seiya Kou is the last thought Usagi had before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep.

Japan

Taiki is walking in the hospital hallway; his mother clearly did not stop nagging him on having his neck checked by the doctor. He walked past the nurse station and as usual caused a few fuzz among the gossiping nurse he saw a nurse whom he think would be enjoyable to play with later. He then reached Dr. Mizuno's office and entered, he was greeted by the receptionist who motioned for him to sit down and wait for a while. He reached for a magazine when a hand reached for it at the same time, he looks up and saw the hand's owner it was a petite girl with short blue hair wearing a yellow sundress, he can't help checking her out, she's not that pretty and curvy he can tell just by looking but there is something in her that caught his attention. Dr. Mizuno's office flew open revealing the middle aged doctor.
"Amy, what are you doing here?"
the petite girl stands up and hugged the doctor "I came to give you this papa" handing the doctor his briefcase "you left it at home, I'm sure you'll realize it later and come rushing home so I took the liberty of dropping by at your office."
"oh Amy, your such a dear." The doctor give the petite girl a peck on the cheeks and let her off from their hug and saw that there is a patient at bay.
"Taiki! You're here early." He motioned at the young man who clearly caught the petite's attention.
"I have something to do later so I decided to drop in early."
Dr. Mizuno clearly has no intention of introducing his daughter to Taiki Kou, knowing this young man's reputation he wanted to keep Amy far away as possible. "Amy dear, why don't you wait for me here and let's have lunch later, I'll first attend to Mr. Kou here." Amy smiled at Taiki, nodding his way; Taiki very bluntly shows interest in Amy by shaking her hand in front of Dr. Mizuno in a manner that challenged a father. "Let's go in Taiki, don't want to make you late for your later appointment." Dr. Mizuno almost dragged Taiki inside his office leaving Amy love struck and the receptionist shaking her head.

Michiru is sitting on the school bench holding up her sketch pad, she was sketching Seiya's back walking away when a shadow blocked her sunlight. She looks up and smiles at the figure.
"What are you doing?"
"Doing some sketches for art class."
"What it's called?"
"The unspoken goodbye… I think." She smiles and the standing figure sat beside her.
"I really thought you two would never separate."
"What would you know, Mamoru?" Michiru replied bitterly, she was always like this, one minute she's fine the next minute she'd be shattered.
"If it was me, I wouldn't care if you wonder once in a while." Mamoru said enjoying her misery.
"Leave me alone, Mamoru and aren't you and Kakyuu together?"
"Kakyuu chose to study abroad, it's her decision I ask her to come back almost every day but she wants to be there. I guess I grew tired and just stopped." Michiru hit the spot the Mamoru would be hurt the most, his most precious Kakyuu, his long term girlfriend, Seiya's older sister, her bestfriend.
"But you love her don't you? If you love someone you can't just grow tired of them?"
"Then why did you taste somebody else if you truly love Seiya?" Michiru knew that Mamoru's flirting was just a tough front that inside he only pines for Kakyuu, that despite his friendly façade his pissed that she hurt Seiya who was practically like his brother though he loves to annoy him, he has always tried his best to gain the Seiya's approval with him dating Kakyuu and know he's torturing her. Michiru can't continue the verbal assault she gets from Mamoru; she's guilty enough, hurt enough, what do people expect? Why do they keep looking down at her like she's some bitch in heat that strayed when her man is busy following his dreams. She hated Seiya, she hated Mamoru, and she hated herself.

"Just leave me alone Mamoru."

From a distant track and field, Haruka can see Michiru laughing with Mamoru one moment and then crying the next, worried stricken he dashed on her direction.
"Michi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm horrible Ruka, I'm the worst!"
Haruka held her, inhaling her scent, taking in her pain. "Shhh… Don't cry Michi I'm here now." Michiru clutched his shirt sobbing and crying hard. Why can't she just love Haruka, he's always been there, she enjoyed being showered by his attention, she enjoyed their night together, but why can't she never let go of Seiya.

Paris
"Are you sure this is all your stuff Usagi?"
Seiya is surprised on how limited her things are, Usagi has practically only 2 box of her things loaded on his car.
"I don't have much." Usagi said, turning her back to Seiya and going on Makoto's direction.
"Usagi, I never thought that you will easily get a boyfriend here in Paris and leaving with him all of a sudden?"
Makoto is still skeptical on Usagi's newfound boyfriend and is worried for her friend.
"Hey Mako, I knew Seiya way back in Japan, we also came here together but he just recently got the courage to confess." Looking at Seiya's direction giving him the cue to comply with her fabricated statement.
Seiya nodded his head "Don't worry Makoto, I'll take care of Usagi."
"Well, you better be, I know where you live and I won't hesitate to get her once you hurt her!"
Seiya can only smile at the other girls threat, it's not like he'll get her knocked-up or what. Why was he thinking of those stuff in the first place. When they get home he needs to take a cold shower, the heat from the sun is making him delirious.
"Bye Mako, I'll see you around ok?"
"Bye Usagi. Hey Seiya! You take good care of her now ok?"
"Yes Makoto. I'll see to it that Usagi always get the best of everything."
Usagi blushed, one thing that Makoto rarely see to her friend, she must really like this Seiya guy, well who wouldn't his clearly hot, good looking and someone any girl would be proud to call her boyfriend.
Makoto smiled and waved to the two as they drove off.
Their drive was pleasant, Seiya has stopped on some shop to buy some clothes and things for Usagi he clearly mean it when he told Mako that she would be treated with only the best, as for Seiya what she showered Usagi with is just his gratitude for her into taking the job of pretending to be his girlfriend and taking care of Kakyuu and the baby when she is born to the world.
They reached their destination, Seiya helped Usagi in getting settled in, Kakyuu and Rei is nowhere in sight, then he remembered that both have evening classes and will probably be back later that usual since they will most likely eat dinner outside. He was starving; he will probably take Usagi out for dinner once she's fully settled in with her stuff.
"Hmm…Seiya, where's my room?"
He forgot to tell Usagi that since her role is to be his girlfriend they would share the room but he already purchased a sofa bed which she can use.
"Dumpling, you'll be sharing room with me."
"What? Are you out of your mind? Our deal is that I'll have my own room!"
"I know! This is Kakyuu's idea she thought that it would seem more real if we share a room, besides we only have three rooms, the first idea was that she and Rei would share a room and you'll get Rei's room but they didn't approve of that."
"And what makes you think I'll share a room with you?"
"We'll you have no choice plus I only said we'll share a room we won't share a bed and I'm not the type who jumps at any girl available lying beside me!"
Usagi is all red now, she can hear her own heartbeat and she watch as Seiya carried her stuff inside the room on the farthest left side – Their room.

Well let me know what you think, your ideas are welcome. I know Taiki's character in my story is so out of his personality but I think we would be a good player.
