The Face Of Love

######Sorry######

"I called mom," Korin said when Nuriko and Tasuki entered the waiting room once more, "She said she would be here in ten minutes," Korin was curled up on a chair with her back to the room, staring out of a window, "She's calling daddy."

Nuriko sat down next to Miaka's mother and held her hand. Miaka's mother had treated him so well over the years and now he just didn't know what to her. There was nothing in the whole world he could say to her. So he just held her hand. Tasuki sat down next to Nuriko and held his hand. No one noticed that Yui was no longer there.

"Korin, do you know when Shane will be here? Any idea?" Nuriko asked softly. "Mom said he would probably be here in a half hour," Korin whispered.

"If he comes," Nuriko said so softly no one could hear him.

No one knew what to do next. The doctor came in and took Miaka's mother out of the room to talk to her about what happened. There were police hanging around because it had been a shooting, murder. No one ed ted to them though, no one knew what to say. Miaka's mother never came back so every assumed that she had went home. Hotohori was hugging Tama tightly as he cried and cried. Nuriko had put his head on Tasuki shoulder and fallin asleep.

"Nuriko, Nuriko honey wake up."

Nuriko awoke to his shoulder be shaken gently, "Mmm, what?" He blinked a few times.

"It's you mom."

Nuriko sat up and looked around him, "Mom, when did you get here?" Nuriko's hand moved from his lap to the arm of the chair and found Tasuki's hand. He grabbed it.

"Just now," There were tears in her eyes, "What happened?"

"Chiriko got in a car crash when he was coming here."

"Why was he coming here?"

Nuriko took a deep breath before he spoke, "Miaka died."

"What?!" Nuriko's mother sat in the nearest chair, "How?"

"Keisuke killed her. Then killed himself," Nuriko whispered, tears coming again.

"Oh my. Noneyoney that can't be. Miaka? That sweet happy girl? how could that be."

"I don't know mom. I just don't know."

There was a long silence. Then Nuriko spoke, "Is Shane coming?"

Nuriko's mother looked up at him, her eyes sad and tearful, "Yes hon, he is. I'm sorry but he needed to know that his youngest son is in the hospital."

"Every one keeps saying that. He needs to know. He doesn't need to know anything. We shouldn't even talk to him. He has no right to see Chiriko, or any of us!"

"I'm sorry but he does have that right. You guys are his children. He has the right to know when one of you is hurt.'

"He has the right to know when we are hurt? Even h when is the one that makes us hurt? Mom I don't want to see him again. Ever. And I don't think that Korin and Chiriko should see him either."

"I'm sorry honey. I really am."

"Why do you keep apologizing to him?" Korin asked suddenly, "He treats daddy like crap!"

"Shut up Korin," Nursaidsaid fiercely, "Just shut up."

"Nuriko!" his mother said angerly, "Don't tell your sister to shut up. Even when she does need to."

"Sorry mom. But she needs to. She doesn't understand!"

"Tell her and she will. You never told her Nuriko. That's why she doesn't understand."

Nuriko leaned forward and whispered so Korin couldn't hear him, "I can't tell her. I just can't tell her why he left."

"Good evening Fujiko. You are looking well," A slurred voice said from the other side of the waiting room. So, why am here?"

"Hello Shane," Nuriko's mother said coldly.

###########Daddy!#########

"Daddy!" Korin yelped. She jumped up from he chair and ran over to her dad. She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly, "Daddy!"

"Hello baby girl. How are you?"

"Daddy!" Korin cried again, "I'm so glad to see you!" Korin let go and stepped back a few feet. She smiled brightly at her dad.

"So Fujiko," Shane said again, "Why am I here?"

"Your son got hurt Shane," Fujiko said, turning to look at Shane, "I called you so you could see him. If you wanted to."

"Well, which son?"

"I told you on the phone Shane. Chiriko was in a car crash."

"Well of corse I want to see him."

"No!" Nuriko let go of Tasuki's hand and jumped to his feet, "You can't see him!"

"Nuriko honey," Fujiko grabbed her sons hand, "It will be better if you just let him see Chiriko. Okay?"

"No. You can't see him. I wont let you!"

"Oh yeah? You wont? what can you do to stop me?" Shane staggered toward his son, "You're not the boys dad, I am."

"Your not his dad Shane. Your his father. To be a dad you would have had to stick around. But you didn't," Nuriko stepped forward, "You should just leave and let us life in peace. We don't need you here."

"I'm going to see my son no matter what you do. You can't stop me," Shane said in a teasing voice.

"Yes I can," Nuriko said in a determined voice. He advanced, "I will not let you see Chiriko," Nuriko was now only a foot or so away from Shane, "get out."

Shane took another step forward, "No."

Nuriko clenched his fists and raised one.

Tasuki was out of his chair in a second. He grabbed Nuriko's hands, "Don't so this Nuri," He whispered, "Don't do this. Come on Nuriko. You are the calm one. you're the one that always calmed me down and helped me. Now I'm returning the favor. Don't hurt him."

Nuriko turned his head and looked at Tasuki, "He hurt me Tasuki. You know that. i know you know what the feels like. Don't you want to smack your parents every day. Don't you want them to suffer as much as you have?"

"You know I do Nuri."

"Well that's how I feel. I want him tofer.fer."

"I know you do Nuriko. But remember, you are the one that always stopped me form hurting some one. Don't do this. Please don't."

"Let go."

"Nuri-"

"Let go!"

"Nuri-

"Let go! Trust me Tasuki. Let go!"

Tasuki let go and stepped back, "I trust you Nuri."

Nuriko turned back to his father, "Leave."

"Why does that boy call you Nuri? Huh? You screwing him?"

"You're drunk. And no I'm not. Not yet."

"Oh so you're still a little fag are you?"

"You're drunk. I can smell it from here. Come back when you're sober."

"Nuriko shut up!" Korin yelled.

"Sit down Korin."

"NO! Why don't you just leave daddy alone!"

"Korin sit down!"

Korin stared at her brother for a second. She barely recognized him. His eyes that were normally so filled with life and happiness looked dead and tears were still falling from them. His face showed only hate. Korin sat down.

"Chiriko doesn't want to see you Shane. Leave."

"No," Shane said again, his words slurred and hard to understand, "I wont listen to you you little fag."

"Leave," Nuriko said calmly.

"I don't want my kids around the likes of you. You might infect them you sick freak."

"I'm not sick or a freak. That's you. You're he sick freak you drunk whore, (a/n: I like to say whore)."

"Well duh I drink. It;s the only way I can deal with having a son like you," Shane spat the words like they were vile, "Why don't you leave? Huh? You only hurt people."

"I hurt people?" Nuriko asked, "Really? Well look at this!" He pulled off the shirt he had on an tossed it to the ground, "Remember?" He ran a hand over a large scar on his chest, "remember this? You did this. remember? You do don't you! You took a knife to me the night before you left. I had to get stichs on my chest. I was in the hospital over night. I lost a lot of blood. You almost killed me Shane. And I'm the one that hurts people? Korin cried for two weeks after you left, and she didn't even know why you left. Chiriko didn't speak to any one but me for almost a year. You hurt us Shane. More then you will ever know."

Shane stepped back from Nuriko, "Put your shirt back on you fag," He said as he stumbled back ward.

"Leave."

Shane spat at Nuriko's feet, "Why don't you just die you little fag," He hissed before he turned and walked out. Before he left how ever he said one more thing, "I'm gonna see my boy. I will get to see him some day. And there ain't nothing you can do about it," Then he was gone.

Nuriko began to tremble terably. He fell to the ground and let out a small whimper , he was shaking badly, "Oh god. Oh god. I-I did it. I stood up to him," Nuriko berried his face in his hands and sobbed. He had stood up to Shane and made him leave. He was happy and terrified and he couldn't stop crying.

"Nuri. Nuri babe, it's okay," Tasuki whispered leaning down next to Nuriko, "Come on," He offered his arms to Nuriko who grabbed them. Nuriko clutched on to Tasuki's arms and cried uncontrollably, "Shhh. Nuriko he's gone. I's okay now."

"No," Nuriko shook his head, "No. He will never be gone. he'll never leave. He's my father. He's blood in my. I don't want to be like him."

"Don't worry," Tasuki wrapped his arms around Nuriko and hugged him tightly, "You're nothing like him. Nothing at all. Don't worry. It's okay Nuri. I love you. I love you."

"I don't want to be like that. i don't want to be his son."

"Then you're not. If you don't want to be then you're not. You can be who ever you want to be Nuri. Please, just be yourself. Be my little Nuri."

########What's goingwithwith Chiriko########

Chiriko's eyes snapped open and he looked around him. He couldn't move his body and he felt like he was under a ton of bricks. He had no idea were he was. He opened his mouth but no words would come. He tried again, "Chiri?" He called out weakly, "Chiri?"

"It looks like he's a wake," A female voice said from some where Chiriko couldn't see. He heard foot steps approaching the place he was laying, "Hello little one, you suffered quit a bit. How are you doing?"

Chiriko blink at the fuzzy figure who had appeared in front of his face, "Chiri...," He said again, "Where is Chiri?" His voice sounded unfamlier to himself.

"Chiri?" The woman repeated, she was dressed in nurses uniform, "Is that the man you were with? The one with the blue hair and the deep brown eyes?" (A/N: yes eyes. He has two. For now...)

"Yes. Where is he?" it an effort to speak for Chiriko. He had a horrible pain in his chest.

"Oh he was put in a different room. Do you have and memories of what happened?"

"No. I want to see Chiri."

"Well that's not posable. You two are in the ICU. Hon you were in a car crash. Your friend Chiri as you call him, suffered a mager injury to his left eye. I don't think he'll be able to see out of it again..."

"No! Chiri!" Chiriko tried to sit up but the nurse gently pushed him back down.

"Now now. Donou tou try to move. You'll be able to see your friend soon enough."

"No. Need to see him now. Have to get to Chiri."

"No. Now you listen to me little boy, you stay in this bed no matter what. You will see your friend soon enough but now now."

"But I have to see Chiri. I have to make sure-"

"He's fine. Now stay put," The nurse said before turning and exiting the room.

Chiriko slowly sat up and peered out of the door. He let out a cry of pain and grabbed his chest. He fell back on to the bed panting with agony.

He sat up again.

He had to see Chichiri.
