Chapter Three: Truth and Secrets

Hair piled on top of his head Yukari jots down notes as he reads through his history text. Humming softly he glances up as his bedroom door opens. Nodding to his mother he watches as she shows Yuki and Gackt in. Waiting until his door clicks shut Yukari springs to his feet and flies at Yuki. “You came! How’d you get past my mother with you hair? She hates mine but it’s natural in my family.”

Laughing Yuki ruffles his hair, “It wasn’t that hard, after all, I am taller then she is.” Twisting Yukariund und he nudges him towards Gackt. “I brought you a guest, although, if I had known you would be dressed this way I would have called first.” Blushing Yukari reaches for a shirt, his free arm trying to cover his chest. “I don’t think he minds though,” Yuki whispers, pushing Yukari at Gackt.

Seeing the smile on Gackt’s face Yukari pouts and murmurs sulkily, “What are you looking at Mister? Hmmm?” Grinning he wraps his arms tightly around Gackt’s waist, kissing his cheek briefly. Tugging on his arm Yukari leads Gackt to a seat on the floor. Plopping down beside him he looks up at Yuki. “Sit boy,” he orders. Complying Yuki scoots some papers out of the way before sitting across from them.

Walking into the room Yukari’s mother bows and holds out a manila envelope. Climbing to his feet Yukari takes it from her, kissing her cheek in thanks. Rejoining Yuki and Gackt he glances down at the address on the envelope.

“Mana? Who’s Mana?” Gackt inquires as Yukari tears open the envelope.

Pulling out a stack of letters and photos Yukari answers, “I am, it’s a nickname I went by in Hiroshima.” Holding up a picture he points to the little girl with blue ringlets. “That’s me in grade six. We were preparing to visit the zoo.” Dressed in a flared blue sundress with a bell sleeved black shirt, the girl stands with a group of other school kids in similar clothes. “I went to a private art school until we moved here.”

Picking one of the letters out of Yukari’s hands Gackt glances through it.

“Mana, how’s America? Have you met anyone yet? Made any friends? You’re missed here at Seikki and we plan to send you a packet like this every month, just to remind you of us…What do you want us to send for you’re your birthday? Are you full of ideas for us or do you just want us to decide on something?…Misa sends her love and promises to write you at another time. She was so busy with our latest three-dimensional assignment that she couldn’t write. Do you have any feelings for her? Will you at least pretend that you do, at least until she comes to accept you as you are? Please, will you, for me Princess?

“There I go again, calling you Princess like that time, that one time when – I shouldn’t say that, someone else might see this, but Princess, you’ll be that forever, I do miss you. I hate to write this but I must, Misa has found out about our past and she believes it is her duty to make you forget that. Princess, please don’t worry about Misa, I’m working on convincing heherwherwise…

“…find someone you can love Princess, our time is past, find someone who loves you. Loved you always, Nao.” Glancing up Gackt watches as Yuki tickles Yukari. “Yukari?” Nodding he waits for Gackt to continue. “Who’s Nao?”

Eyes wide Yukari murmurs, “My best friend and former boyfriend from Hiroshima. You’d like him, he’s really nice and has tones of energy.” Handing Gackt a picture he points to the kimonoed lady with violets in her pigtails. “That’s Nao at our annual spring festival, I’m the one in the peach and Misa is the one in the pale yellow.”

Gazing at the picture Gackt grins and tilts his head to the side. “Say Yukari? Are we allowed to call you Mana?” Laughing, Yukari throws his bare arms around Gackt, kissing him enthusiastically on the lips. Pulling back Gackt chuckles, “I’ll take that as a yes Mana.”

Cell phone cradled in his palm Mana murmurs, “Okaa-san, I’m going to the mall with Yuki and some other friends, I’ll be home later.” Listening to his mother’s assent he grins at Gackt. “Hai Okaa-san, I will. Ja-ne.”ing ing the call he flashes a thumbs up to Yuki who in turn goes off to find Kami and the others.

Snuggling closer to Gackt he watches the other students as they pass by on their way to their cars. Kissing Mana’s forehead Gackt tilts his chin up. “Did anyone make fun of you today?”

“A few of them did, but I ignored them and they stopped eventually.”

“Good.” Chuckling as Mana kisses his throat he flinches slightly as his teeth nip his flesh. Suckling at his skin Mana slips a hand down to his lap.

Lifting his lips from his boyfriend’s neck he purrs, “Mine.” Nodding Gackt glances up as Yuki returns. Climbing out of his lap Mana beams at Yuki.

“You seem much happier then you were two days ago,” a silken voice comments as a young man in a sleek black skirt and ruffled black blouse walks up to Mana. Tossing his half curled hair over his shoulder he bows slightly. “Since the last time I saw you was an inopportune time to introduce myself, my name is Shinya.”

Dropping in a curtsy, his ribbon woven pigtails bouncing, Mana replies, “My name’s Yukari, but my friends call me Mana.”

“Then I hope I’ll be allowed to call you Mana,” Shinya murmurs, his copper hair slipping back into his eyes.

Sliding an arm around Mana’s waist Yuki pulls out his keys. “Come along, it’s time for us to go on a shopping spree.” Throwing a grin at Gackt he leads Mana away from the trees. Pecking Yuki on the check Mana swings his blue purse by his side. “I can fit four or five other people in my car, so whoever’s left is going with Shinya.”

Sitting patiently for the picture Mana smiles, Gackt’s arm resting loosely around his waist. As the photographer focuses the camera Gackt whispers, “Are you going to send one to Nao?”

“I was planning to, unless you’d rather I not.”

“Iie, please do. Tell him I’d like to meet him sometime. And I do mean that.”

“Yoroshii.”

Watching from the doorway Yuki holds the shopping bag in his hand. Nestled safely in the box and padding the blond haired, porcelain doll waits patiently to be presented to Mana. Motioning for Gackt to lean over and look as though he’s pecking Mana on the cheek the photographer prepares to take a picture. Obliging, Gackt squeezes the ruffled shoulder his hand rests on.

Turning his head suddenly, Mana meets Gackt’s lips seconds before the camera flashes. Laughing good naturedly, the photographer winks at Gackt. “Is she a good kisser?” Chuckling Gackt nods, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Posing for two other pictures Gackt and Mana wave to the photographer as they leave. Rejoining the others Mana beams as Shinya hands him an ice cream conidliidling up beside Mana Kyo steals a lick from his ice cream, eyes full of mischief. “So, how’d the photo shoot go?”

Holding his ice cream out of Kyo’s reach Mana shrugs, “He was trying to flirt with the cute blond haired girl in there.”

Laughing Izam stomps his heeled feet, his red hair bouncing. “So what’d the cute girl do in response, huh?”

“She kissed her boyfriend for a picture,” Mana purrs, his eyes peering up at Gackt. Offering his ice cream up to Gackt Mana giggles when he takes the cone and taps it against his nose. “You got chocolate on my nose.” Pouting he reaches up to wipe his nose off, but Gackt stops him. Kissing his nose he smirks as Mana squeaks.

Making a face Kozi complains, “You two are too cute, stop giving me cavities.”

Jabbing a finger at Kozi Totchi mutters, “If you and Izam had just gotten together you would be too. In fact I do recall you acting like this two years ago.” Sticking his tongue out Kozi yelps as Izam latches onto him, a hand landing below the waist.

Laughing Kami points at Yuki’s bag. “What’s in the bag Yuki-chan?” Shaking his head Yuki hides the bag behind his back.

Glancing at his watch Shinya murmurs, “Our reservation at Onami is in ten minutes; shall we head that way?” Nodding unanimously they head for the restaurant.

“Yuki?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you have anyone special?”

“No, I – I haven’t found anyone that I desire.”

“What do you desire?”

“Someone sweet and – and…”

“And?”

“You won’t hate for my answer?”

“Why should I?”

“Because the only person I’ve ever had any sort of feelings for is – is you.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Then why did you put Gackt and I together? Wouldn’t you not want him to – to love me?”

“Sweetling, you need Gackt more then I need you, I can live with having you as a younger sister.”

“Yuki?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you love me?”

“Hai.”

Yuki?”

“Hmm?”

“Daisuki Onii-san.”
