Chereads / A Broken Hearth Mistery / Chapter 20 - Love and misunderstandings

Chapter 20 - Love and misunderstandings

Part 1 - You and hate. 

I couldn't sleep most of the night, Akari had gone to my room to practice contact with objects as she was used to these last days, she's really making an effort, and I'm here without being able to do anything, I have to go back soon, if we hadn't run into Colmillos, I could be looking for the solution for Akari? At least it served to tell Emi the truth, at least something good came out of all this. 

I settled on the bed, Emi was sleeping next to me, I felt a bit embarrassed to be next to her in the same bed with her these days, I stroked her hair while she slept, it was my way of thanking her for everything she does for me. 

Because of all the people in the world that had to reappear it had to be my progenitor, and at the worst possible moment, when the whole Akari thing is happening, how infuriating all this is, I wish I had a time machine and go back to the moment when I proposed to Akari, so I could avoid everything that happened to her... an experiment that at least Fangs said, I hadn't given it much thought, but how could there be something so cruel to do something like that to a person... 

My thoughts were interrupted, by a stain of something on what should be Emi's hand, I stretched my hand being careful not to wake her up, I touched the stain, it was wet, I smelt it, it was blood... 

I uncovered Emi, being careful because of the little clothes she wore as most of the time at home, I didn't want to spy on her. In Emi's hand was a gauze covered with medical gauze, that's where the blood was coming from. 

Emi... what did you do to yourself, all because of... her, I was worried because the bleeding wouldn't stop, I had no choice but to wake her up. 

-Emi, wake up. 

I moved her gently so as not to wake her up abruptly. 

-I'm awake Hikaru, I was waiting to see how far you were going to get with your unprotected sister. 

-Emi, don't be a clown, your hand is bleeding, what happened to you? 

-It's nothing, I already healed the wound, it had to open up while I was trying to sleep. 

I turned to her, which was a bit counterproductive, because my bruise was crushed by my body. 

I hugged her while I kept stroking her head. 

-Wuao, what do you think you're doing, Hikaru? 

-Giving you back at least some of what you do for me. 

I could hear Emi holding back her tears. 

-Emi, you're with me, Akari isn't here right now, you don't need to hold back in front of me. 

She burst into tears, her hand clutching mine as she pressed it to her chest. 

-Why must I look so much like her, because I inherited her face, I hate it Hikaru, I hate it, I hate having her blonde hair, I hate every inch I inherited from her, I hate it. 

How long were you hiding from me how you feel, why didn't you tell me before... no, if I know the answer, it's because she was trying to protect me, she always played strong in front of me, all this time I had her, but she didn't have anyone to look to for support, I must change that. 

-Emi, what are you talking about, you are beautiful, and I can assure you something, you are nothing like her, you are you, you are my sister, the person I admire the most in my life, I am a little ashamed to admit it, but when people ask me who my mother is, the first person that comes to my mind is you Emilia Nishimura, until I was 13 years old I was in love with you, I know it is strange, but you were the only person that was by my side, only you. 

Emi's crying made it hard for me to understand her when she spoke. 

-Hiikaru... Hiikaru, Hikaru, I love you, you are everything for me, I never thought you would accept to move in with me, it made me happy, now even though I reject myself, you make me value myself, I love you silly brother. 

-I know, I love you too Emi, don't hurt you again, she's not worth our tears, not even our hate, I say that more for me than for you... I love your hair the way it is, especially the long one, but why don't you try dyeing it, I think the colour you choose would look great on you. 

No idiot you don't know, the love I feel for you is different, I shouldn't even feel that kind of love for you, but you still manage to evoke it, even so, I'm happy that you love me as your sister. 

-I'll think about dyeing my hair, now Hikaru stop hugging me for a moment... Hikaru were you in love with me? 

-I admit it, I liked you, it was wrong, I know, then Asuna appeared, I started to like her, and well after I knew what it was like to fall in love with Akari. 

-I understand you, I really do... just hug me. 

I listened to her, she with a movement turned me around leaving me now looking at the ceiling, but I couldn't see it since Emi was on top of me, my breathing started to accelerate, our heads were very close, her crotch was resting on mine, Emi's hair was almost on my face, she also started to breathe fast. 

-I moved you because you were squeezing your wound, I'll move to the other side of the bed so you can hug me.... 

She became very red, and it was my fault, my partner again had betrayed me, I was starting to get an erection and Emi had noticed, both of our breathing started to get heavier, Emi pressed her lips together, very slowly she started to move her face towards mine. 

-Emi we can't... we are.... 

I closed my eyes waiting for Emi to kiss me, but all I felt was our noses touching, she rubbed her nose a little against mine, then moved to the other side. 

On the one hand, I felt overheated, but on the other, relieved. 

-Emi, what was that? 

-Something you should do with Akari when you get the chance, it's called an Eskimo kiss... hold me and let's go to sleep, it's already too late. 

I obeyed her, I also took the opportunity to caress her head, like she did with me to calm me down. 

-Hikaru, don't misunderstand me, I feel flattered, but could you keep your crotch away from my ass, at least until you calm your partner down? 

-Emi, sorry, I can't control it. 

-Brother pervert, look at that having an erection with me I feel it since our crotches collided.

-You're to blame for that, what do you want me to do? 

-I... what are you... talking about... no... -Said Emi, nervous and embarrassed. 

I almost kissed my brother, what was I thinking, damn hormones, stop fucking with me.... Hikaru was in love with me, maybe... no, I shouldn't think like that, but at least he made me happy. 

Part 2 -To the academy 

In the end I couldn't go to school all week, but at least since Saturday I could walk again with some pain, but it was very little, even so I decided to tell everything that I wasn't in pain, Akari had noticed my lie, but she didn't insist much about it, I also told her what happened with Emi that night, I didn't want to hide things from her, Obviously I omitted the most delicate parts, except for the Eskimo kiss, I did tell her about that, she was upset all these days and even reproached Emi, which annoyed me, but I put up with the situation, I know that Akari was quite upset with what happened, and instead of getting upset directly with me, she did it with Emi, which put me in a bad mood. 

As the days went by she calmed down, but every now and then she would make some comment about Emi, I held back the desire to defend my sister, but if things continued like this at any moment I was going to explode, my father took advantage of the last few days of leave I asked for to go out with Camila, an idea that Emi suggested to him, and he miraculously accepted. 

But it was time to go back, it was already Monday and my father decided to take me to the academy during these days until my condition improved, even Emi accepted that I should leave her on the way. 

-Take care of yourself son, remember not to make forces, don't worry your sister... nor me, have a good day. 

-Goodbye father, have a good day at work. 

He left, somewhat smiling. 

-Happy Akari, I said a proper goodbye to him like you asked. 

-Yes, though I wish he was born from you. 

I feel quite tired, how strange. 

Since my father brought me this time, I arrived quite early, I was on my way to my classroom, Emi this time didn't manage to cook for me so she gave me some money to buy me whatever I wanted for lunch, I saw the 20,000 chipon note. 

-I wonder what I should have for lunch today? 

-It's not too early to think about lunch, but you could ask Emi, as usual, maybe if you ask her she can give you mouth to mouth food,' said Akari coldly. 

I stopped in front of my living room door. 

-That's enough! 

-Hikaru... 

-I told you everything because I trust you and because I don't want to hide anything from you, but you took it out on Emi, when she's been worried about you too, she even trusts that you can take care of me, something she's never done with another person, she was weak, and she didn't do anything wrong, but I'm sick of your jealousy, you know you're right I should ask her. 

I went into my classroom and closed the door tightly, not allowing Akari to enter, though she'd walk through it anyway if she wanted to. 

Inside sat Akimoto, putting on her make-up like last time. 

-Love problems, Hika...Nishimura? 

She probably had to hear him arguing with someone behind the door.

-I'm not here to put up with your bullshit today, Akimoto, so shut up. 

I waited for his reproaches as I sat back in my seat, but surprisingly he didn't say anything, I didn't really care either. 

Akari didn't come in, at any point, but I was still very annoyed with her. 

My classmates arrived one by one, some greeted me and asked me why I was absent, and others passed me by. 

-You're back Hikaru 

Asuan came straight to hug me. 

-Asuna stop it, my ribs don't.... 

She patted my head. 

-Yes, I know, easy, but I'll accumulate the hugs I can't give you until you get better. 

-I'd rather you... 

All to your seats, my students. 

Professor Matsuo had arrived on time, which is a miracle. 

-O Hikaru welcome back, I hope you'll be able to catch up with your homework. 

-Yes, I will. - I replied with mock interest. 

-Well since you are all seated, I have an announcement for you, a new student will be with us from now on, Feratu you can come in. 

Seeing who was coming in made me panic, I was shivering, Asuna was also mute. 

-Akari, where are you? 

-I introduce your new classmate Dracul Feratu, be nice to him. 

Dracul came straight to me. 

-It's been a long time Hikaru my friend. 

-Colmillos.

-Hey that's my name don't wear it out. 

He held out his fist for me to bump, he had a hideous grin on his face. 

-If you did anything to him I swear.... 

Guys, I remind you that we are in class, take the empty seat next to Nishimura. 

-Oh teacher, I'd rather sit closer to the blackboard, I can't see very well. 

Colmillos opened his eye with his fingers, which was a bit unpleasant. 

Besides, if I'm near a friend, I'll have a good time chatting, how about if I sit next to the purple-haired girl over there. 

-Yes, go ahead, Feratu. 

-Akimoto grimaced as Fangs sat down next to her. 

Naturally she would have applied her methods to cajole him, but she didn't it was weird, but I couldn't think about that now, what an idiot I was, I need to hear from Akari. 

A message came to my phone, it was from Asuna, I saw it without the teacher knowing that I brought the mobile phone to the academy. 

Conjita (Asuna): Where is Akari? 

Hikaru: I just had an argument with her, she's not coming to class, I'm very worried. 

Bunny (Asuna): Silly you have to locate her, as soon as possible. :o :O 

Hikaru: You don't need to tell me, I know.
