Heartaches
Chapter Four
By Kellyq
Mina walked to the door when she
heard voices from the other side. She peeked through the hole and
saw Jack talking to a male teen with black hair. Mina could see
the teen's face. Yusei's eyes held a calm expression and there
was a soft glint in Jack's eyes. That must be Mr. Fudo,
she thought, opening the door for Jack.
"Welcome home, Mr.
Atlus," Mina said, stepping to the side and bowing. She eyed
Yuesi for a moment. I wonder why Godwin doesn't like Mr. Fudo?
He seems harmless ...
"Mina," came Jack's
southern crisp voice, snapping the young woman out of her
thought. "Go make some tea."
The young housekeeper flinched
and bowed. "Uh ... does Mr. Fudo want some tea too?"
Yusei blinked a few times before
he realized that he was asked a question. Yusei smiled to Mina.
"No, I'm fine - but thanks for the offer."
Mina bowed again and made her
way to the kitchen. She couldn't help but smile, feeling
optimistic that the atmosphere would change. Mina moved the tea
kettle to the front burner, and turned it on. She opened the
cabinet and pulled out a tea packet. Placing it on the table,
Mina moved to the other cabinet and brought out a cup. The kettle
whistled, signaling for Mina that the water was ready.
"Mina!" came
Jack's voice. "Turn that thing off and hurry it up!"
Mina jumped and dropped the cup
onto the floor. It shattered into five pieces. Mina cried out as
she turned to see Yusei move the tea kettle off the burner.
"Are you okay?" Yusei
asked, snapping the startled woman out of her shock.
Jack's silhouette moved across
the room, and he picked up the broken pieces. Yusei observed the
whole thing quietly.
"I'm so sorry, Mr.
Atlus!" Mina cried. "I'll buy you a new cup right
away!"
Jack grunted. "Leave
it," he calmly ordered. The blonde-haired man had thrown the
broken pieces into the trash. "And finish making the
tea." Jack's eyes shifted from Mina to Yusei. "Go sit
back down, Yusei. You're still not healed from your fight from
Kiryu."
Mina blinked and that's when she
finally noticed bruises and faded scars on Yusei. Kiryu?That
name does ring a bell ... Mina bit her lip. She waited until
Yusei was out of hearing range to ask what was really going on.
"Un ... Mr. Atlus? Who is
Kiryu?" Mina inquired.
Jack gave Mina a sharp stare.
The look in his eyes glazed over. "It's none of your
business!" Mina cringed and fear flashed across her eyes.
Jack sighed, giving himself a mental note to keep his temper at
bay. "He was a friend of ours," Jack started to
explain, sounding bitter and frustrated.
"Oh, that's right,"
Mina said, finding her voice. "I do remember meeting him on
your 18th birthday."
"Yeah ... that was before
he got into the wrong crowd to hang out with," came Yusei's
bitter voice. Jack and Mina turned their attention to Yusei, who
was leaning against the wall. "He was a good person - bright
and intelligent - until one night that all changed -"
"That's enough!" Jack
barked, stopping Yusei from finishing the story. The tension in
the room grew thicker. Jack closed his eyes and pinched the
bridge of his nose. "I'm going to bed."
Mina was about to speak, but
Yusei shook his head. After Jack was out of sight, the
dark-haired teen pushed himself from the wall and followed his
boyfriend to his room.
Jack turned when Yusei walked in
and closed the door behind him. The tension in the air had not
lifted.
Yusei's expression half
darkened. "That was completely uncalled for. She was just
trying to help."
"Do you think I care? The
one thing I care about is you! You know very well that Kiryu is
never going to get better!" Jack pointed out. "And
you're just letting him trample all over you! Do you know how
hard it is for me to stand by and watch without being able to
help? Do you have any clue how much it pains me? None!"
"I'm sorry, Jack,"
Yusei murmured darkly.
The blonde-haired teen grunted.
"You don't have to apologize - You just need to fight,
Yusei!"
"You mean - like
this?"
Before Jack knew what was
happening, Yusei brushed his knuckles casually against Jack's
cheek. Then Yusei brought his other fist back and gently hit his
boyfriend in the gut. Jack stared at Yusei for a moment to see a
lot of emotions in his eyes.
"I don't mean to hurt
anybody," Yusei said, trying to keep his emotions at bay.
"I -"
Before Yusei could finish, Jack
pulled him close and kissed his boyfriend. "That's enough,
we -"
"Mr. Altlus," came
Mina's voice from the other side of the door. "Your tea
and the first-aid kit are just outside the door when you're ready
to retrieve them."
Yusei pulled away and turned to
open the door. The first thing he saw was the first-aid kit and
tea.
"Your water is coming in
just a moment, Mr. Fudo!" came Mina's voice from the
kitchen.
Yusei picked the tea and
first-aid kit. He handed it to his boyfriend. The dark-haired
teen walked into the kitchen just as Mina turned. The two stared
at each other.
"Mina right?" Yusei
inquired softly.
A light blush made its way to
Mina's pale cheeks and she nodded her head. "Yusei
right?"
The dark-haired teen was about
answer but Jack's voice bet him to the punch.
"Yusei, get your ass in
here right now!"
Annoyance flashed across Yusei's
eyes. He smiled to Mina and took the class of water. Yusei turned
and walked out of the kitchen, leaving a blushing Mina behind.
