“Y-you… Killed someone?” Matsu stammered staring at the teacher who had his eyes tightly closed his hand moving in his pocket

“Have I ruined your image of me princess?” Nino mumbled giving a sad smile but his eyes remained closed. Matsu thought about it trying to fit the pieces together from what his sister had told him about ‘Kaze’. She was ten years older than he was and had run in the same gang for about a year before Kaze vanished but she had never mentioned him killing somebody.

“Why?” He asked and one of the teacher’s eyes opened slowly to look at him

“Huh?”

“Why did you kill them?” he asked his opinion of Kaze hadn’t changed anymore in fact it was rather exciting getting to know the real person though he would never show it.

“Because I did… Jeez, what’s taking so long I have another class this afternoon” Nino muttered getting up quickly and walking to the room they had taken Sakurai into. He peeked through the door and Matsu frowned slightly as the teacher let out a short laugh waving him over.

Doing as he was told he looked through the gap and saw his friend sat on the bed with a dazed look on his face as he stared at what must have been a trainee male nurse that was treating him. It was very obvious from the expression on Sakurai’s face that he was bewitched by the nurse, who was talking at about a mile a minute.

From their angle at the door, Matsu couldn’t see what the nurse looked like with the exception that he had soft brown hair that just grazed the top of his shoulders. He must have been cute though for his friend to look so interested.

“So is it the thing now, for you younger guys to hit on almost old men?” Nino asked in a whisper as he moved away from the door.

“Maybe… But I doubt Sho will actually do much ‘hitting on’” Matsu said, his friend really was dense when it came to that kind of stuff. Nino gave another laugh.

“Nah, he seems the type that would sit around writing bad poetry while scowling at the person he liked… Unfortunately, those types normally become ‘friends’ over lovers…”

“What type are you?”

“Me? I’m a flirt, I flirt with anyone that takes my interest…” Nino shrugged, his hands tapping against his leg and Matsu suspected that the teacher wanted to go for a smoke but was forcing himself to stay in the hospital. A few minutes later the nurse came out and flashed a bright smile that didn’t seem even the slightest bit forced

“Ah are you Sakurai-kun’s guardian?” He asked looking sceptically at the teacher

“Yeah, I guess so I’m his teacher…Ninomiya Kazunari” He nodded

“I’m Aiba Masaki… Everything seems to be okay now, whoever treated him first wasn’t very good… He will need to rest for a few days… And take some pain killers”

“Okay, thanks sensei…” Nino was saying as Sakurai came out of the room carefully pulling his school jacket back on.

“Yo, you okay?” Matsu asked, his voice was level and to outsiders it might have looked like he didn’t care about the answer, but he did. After his sister Sakurai was the only person he cared about

“Yeah, I feel better now” Sakurai mumbled glancing at the nurse before looking down at his shoes.

“I’m glad, Sakurai-kun, I’d better go” The nurse said and then vanished into the crowd. As soon as he’d gone Sakurai sagged a little more and Nino rolled his eyes.

“Idiot…Come on let’s get out of here” He said heading to the pharmacy to pick up the prescription for painkillers. Sakurai mumbled something about not being able to afford it but Nino just waved it away. Slowly made their way out of the hospital as soon as they got outside Nino was lighting up, inhaling deeply. “So where do you live?” he asked looking at Sakurai

“Huh?”

“Well I guess I’m dropping you off at home so where to?” Nino asked again.

“I live in a bedsit… I’m not allowed back until after 6…” Sakurai mumbled and the teacher sighed starting his car and pulling away. Matsu wasn’t sure where they were heading but about half an hour later they pulled up in front of a normal looking house.

“Ka-Nino… Where are we?”

“My house…” The teacher said getting out and leading them to the front door. Inside was nothing like Matsu had expected from Kaze, it looked like any other house though one wall was made up with shelves of games. “I’ll take you later so you can go back and fetch your stuff from the bedsit, there’s a room upstairs you can use…”

“What?”

“While you’re on medication you can’t stay in a bedsit… And you might have been too busy drooling to hear but that nurse said you need rest you’re not going to get that in a bedsit you can’t stay in until six”

“Yeah but…” Sakurai mumbled looking a bit put out. Matsu was also staring at the teacher.

“But nothing, I’m named as your fricken guardian if anything happens to you I get it… So it’s easier if you just stay here… What about you princess? You live in the bedsit too?”

Matsu was tempted to say ‘Yes’ so that he could stay here he wasn’t happy that Sakurai would be here with him. But on the other hand he refused to allow the teacher to start taking care of him, that if he did he would never be anything more than a little brother to him.

“No I live with my sister” He answered truthfully, and Nino nodded and beckoned Sakurai to follow him up the stairs. Matsu was tempted to follow but decided that if he did the teacher would just laugh at him so he stayed in the living room.

There wasn’t any lack of home comforts but it honestly didn’t match the teacher, it felt like the furnishings had been picked out by someone else. There was a single chair and a two seated sofa but only the chair looked like someone had sat in it and judging by the amount of ash and cigarette ends in the ash tray they were there for a long time each night.

On the shelves with the games there were two photo’s one of Nino when he was younger with bleached blond shaggy hair, he must have been about the same age as Matsu was now but he looked so much younger it was weird, he was surrounded by a group of people that Matsu guessed was his old gang scanning the faces he smirk when he recognised his sister dressed in her black school uniform.

The second picture was of a guy that was more than obviously a police officer. He was cute in a chubby cheeked baby faced sort of way, he looked about the same age as Nino and the picture looked recent.

“Ohno Satoshi… He’s my younger half-brother” Nino mumbled coming up behind him the familiar smell of smoke and subtle aftershave filling Matsu’s nostrils

“Your brother is a cop?”

“Yep… He lives in Hokkaido… I was his first arrest” Nino smirked and then stopped his hand taking out the lighter and looking at it “Actually turned myself in after…”

“Who was it? Who was the person?”

“The guy that gave me this lighter… The one who left me this house… If you want I’ll tell you...”
