Twisting Friendship

Its Hard To Let Go

51. Its Hard To Let Go
_____________________________

"WHAT THE CRAP DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?" Mikage fumed as he stomped towards Tomoe. The teenager swallowed and tugged the blanket he had had tighter around him; his knuckles turning white in constant fear. Areno stared at the fuming god while Nanami snorted in her sleep. Gwen ran past Mikage to her daughter, and, after getting a whiff of alcohol? She woke her daughter up and glared at Tomoe from a distance.

The teenager fox swallowed as his heart sunk. What was he going to do? He knew he smelled like the beverage as well and lets not forget hid barth bucket that Areno gave him.

When Mikage got up close he looked at Tomoe and swallowed, his nose wrinkled up when he smelled the alcohol. Tomoe was shaking from the cold and the effects of his hormones and alcohol combined. Tomoe froze up his heart sunk as his stomach turned.

Mikage stepped back and folded his arms, making a distorted face. His face twisted with a strange look and fir some reason the disappiontment running through his eyes? The disappiontment that he thought that he craved?

It made his eyes water..

Mikage breathed in and tried to ignore the nicotine and liqiuor smell that was emmbedded into his sons clothes, "I..." He paused, " I am so disappointed that I have no words to say...You sneak out, You get drunk..Oh and by the way." Mikage held out his phone and pointed at the screen, "The credit card commpany called...A hotel?!" He raised his voice and clenched his fists, "What do you think your doing?!?"

Tomoe felt his ears pin as he heard, not only his father screaming at him, but Gwen screaming at Nanami as well.

This was all his fault...what had he been thinking? What was he thinking? This didn't get him anywhere...It just made him want go puke his guts up all night long.

Mikage grew quiet and then glared at the black haired fox beside the fireplace, "Why is he here? Did I not tell you tha-"

Areno narrowed his rust colored eyes as he snarled his lip, "Hey look; I had a business partner that wanted to meet in the bar, You better be glad that I saw them get wasted!" He glared as Mikage starred at him. The gods glasses glinted until he looked at the fox,

"Then why didn't you stop them?"

The fox smirked," Because if I was your son? I'd do the same thing. You forget how you met Elisa, You-"

Mikage glared, "Continue to talk and you' ll be charged for treason."

"Ha, "Areno fake laughed, "Throwing your power around now are we? We both know you can't hold your powers back when you anger spikes...Land-god!" Areno swore out as wind filled the air..

Tomoe eyes grew wide as the wind blew around his father and blew the fire out in the fireplace. He blinked as the house grew ghostly and cold. His fathers eyes glew a bright blue until he opened his mouth and cursed, "Do not make we show you what I can do."

Areno laughed, "Get out of my house. You'll damage something, "The fix looked at his Tomoe and the fix noticed his rust colored eyes were glowing a bright yellow, "Leave...But come when You wish to."

Mikage growled as a strong wind whipped through the air, "Dont tell him to disobey more!" He stepped forward until Tomoe gasped. He stood up and grabbed his fathers arm..the cold wind took his breath away like a cyclone and he whimpered.
"STOP IT!!" He screamed as his white hair whipped about. His wide violet eyes widened as the wind threw him back.. he winced in pain as Mikage calmed down, and then, without looking back...

" We're going home. Say goodbye to this funeral keeper. Its the last time you'll see him." He walked towards the door...

Tomoe sucked in his breath and looked over at Areno. The black fox looked ahead and then spat out with sadened tones.

"Leave, but head my words." He looked at Tomoe and then frowned," And stop hurting yourself.." He ruffled the younger foxes hair before looking at Nanami. The girl looked at him and whimpered as he did a military sign off.. and then with no emotion? He walked back into the room.....

Tomoe stood up shaking, his limbs shook in pain as he wiped at his lip. He was susprised to see blood on his finger tips. The foxes hot tongue licked at his lip as he gasped out in pain.

The bloodly taste turned the foxes stomach. He gagged as Gwen sighed and patted his head, "Thank you.." She whispered slightly making him confused. Nanami had already walked to the car so the fox clenched his fists and looked at her,

"For what?"

She looked back at him and winked, "For stopping yourself.."

Tomoe froze up but his face did not. Instead it heated to an incredable heat; making him wince in pain. The fox wasnt used to being praised; and when he did it made him embarrassed.

Tomoe nodded and looked down as they walked towards the door. They walked out and Tomoe saw his father glaring to himself..

Tomoe winced, what was he going to do? His father was mad and for the first time ever he let his father yell with no arguments back. It was like his heart told him he deserved it...

The fox winced as he looked up and saw Nanami climbing into the car. She looked back at him and their eyes locked. Then to his confusion she looked away and chewed her lip.

The fox blinked and looked away rather quickly. His heart lurched and he swallowed.. his breath catching...

What was going on? His face warmed and he swallowed, his saliva now like dust against his throat.

Was she mad at him because of what happened? He hoped not.. he already had his father mad at him. The fox couldn't loose his best friend too.

He got into the car and sunk down; his ears twitched as then noticed that they weren't going home. Tomoe sat up in confusin but before he could ask?

Gwen looked at him from the front seat and chuckled weakly, "Kido. We have to go get you some medicine for your hangover.."

Tomoe blinked, "Whats a... Hang-ov-er?"
Nanami moaned as the fox titled his head in confusion. What was so bad?!

Areno slammed the guest bedroom door; waking Rii up. The black haired fox stared at her and then sat on the bed before flopping back and laying his head on her stomach.
" Rii.." He whiserped as she played with the black hair on his head. Areno sighed as he whimpered and buried his face on her stomach,

"Its so hard to let go...isn't it?" He whispered out; reminding her of the teen she fell in love with..

And then, Areno let his wet face touch her hands; as she wiped away his salty tears.

The Next Day
___________________________
" Oh my gods..." Tomoe moaned and ordered his father to shut the blinds. The god did so but then Tomoe was cusred with Kurama and Mizuki visiting.

Kurama looked at him as Mizuki pouted.

" Your no fun Tomoe-kun. I've always wanted to try sake and you didn't even take me with you?" He stomped his foot as a pout formed...

Kurama didn't say anything, he was to shocked and maybe disappointed.  He had always trusted Tomoe to keep his head on straight, but lately things were questionable. He wanted to know what possessed Tomoe to put beer to his lips. The one thing that clouded that man's mind; the man that crashed into his mothers car.

It was because of drunk driving that made Tomoe scream for hours... after he watched his mothers hand drop, and the doctors cover her with a sheet... the sheet covered in blood.

The Tengu stayed quiet as Tomoe maoned and pulled blanket over his head. He whimpered as the cloth brushed against his ears... making them ache.

Then to make it worse? Mikage yelled from the other room and then stomped in; his fists was cleched around a white bill until he screamed,

" You spent one hundred and fifty dollars for a hotel room with that innocent girl?!? "

The air grew quiet and Tomoe grew quiet tense... thats until Mizuki and Kurama gasped,

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO NANAMI YOU PYSHCO OF A PERVERT?!??"
