Brothers Conflict - Yuri

Chapter 11 Fuuto's mistake

Yuri's view

I had been studying hard all day and was heartily sick of our room. I looked at the time and decided that I would cook dinner for everyone and socialize with them for a change. I am sure Tsubaki would like that, too, as he had become a bit of a shut-in recluse in his own home because of marrying me.

I went to the kitchen and had a look, only to find there was nothing to cook with. I sigh... it meant a trip to the shops.

I decided to change into my Emo attire as people tend to avoid me when I am dressed like that. This suited me fine; I didn't want them near me, especially now I was pregnant.

I figured most of the brothers knew me like that now, so it should not matter that I cook in the kitchen dressed like this. I had forgotten about Fuuto and that he had yet to see Emo me. After all, he had just discovered that Tsubaki and I were married.

That night was one to remember... he was not impressed at all at not being told...

I returned home, put the food on the bench, and realized I needed to pee again. It was not something I enjoyed about pregnancy...peeing all the time. So I go pee, wash my hands and return.

On my return, I suddenly find myself pinned to the wall, accused of breaking and entering by Fuuto.

"I live here, Fuuto!" I exclaimed

"Stop lying, you stalker!" He accused and tied me up on a chair as he called the police.

"Who am I stalking?" I ask, confused by the accusation. "For goodness sake, please call anyone else in your family to come and verify that I am not a stalker but your brother's wife."

"Who, Yuri?" He scoffed, "You look nothing like her! I think that I would know my sister-in-law!"

"Well, clearly you don't, " I retort, not helping my situation, "because I am Yuri. "

Fuuto slapped me. "Shut up, you stalker!"

And the police come. As I had no identification on me as it was in the food bags on the kitchen bench, and Fuuto insisted that I was not his sister-in-law but rather a stalker, I was carted off in handcuffs and put in jail.

I was not allowed a phone call for half an hour while I was booked for trespass and stalking. I kept asking the policeman, "Why am I being booked for this? I live there... Please call my husband to verify it," and ended up a crying mess.

I became friends with a girl called Asuna, who was in for drunk, disorderly behaviour and comforted me while this all happened. When I asked why Asuna was in there, she shrugged and said, "I'm a bad drunk. I tried and avoided the stuff, but someone spiked my drink, and now I bear the consequences of being a bad drunk. Enough about me, girl. Will your man come to get you?"

Thinking of Tsubaki, "Yeah, he will provided he doesn't go kill his brother first." I smile. "He tends to be overly protective of me now I'm pregnant."

"He sounds like he is smitten with you." Asuna said.

"You could say that!" I replied.

Just then, Tsubaki arrived with Azusa. I knew he came by the drama happening. He was furious that his wife had been arrested in her own home for false allegations. If Azusa hadn't been there to cool him down, the pair of us would have been in jail for the night as Tsubaki would have been charged with obstruction of duty till he cooled down enough to talk sensibly. As my release depended on him, I wouldn't have been let go either.

My drunk companion Asuna said, "I see what you mean. He is very enthusiastic about you, isn't he?"

"Yes," I smile.

"I wish I had someone like that," Asuna said.

When Tsubaki arrived at the cell to identify me, my companion whistled. "Wow, girl, when you said your husband was coming, I didn't expect such a handsome man."

"Gee, thanks," I say, feeling insulted.

Asuna glanced at me. "Sorry, I was expecting another emo guy to show up... not an ordinary guy."

"I see. I am just acting Emo, you know... it's generally safer. I just forgot about Fuuto not knowing."

Asuna giggled. "Fuuto... that's the same name as the pop star. So funny."

I look at her. "Yeah, no, I don't find it funny. My brother-in-law didn't even listen. And because he is that star, nor did the police. "

"Wait...What?! You are telling me that THAT Fuuto is your brother-in-law?"

"Yeah," I say, unimpressed with him.

Asuna just started laughing and couldn't stop. "I am sorry," she gasps "that's hilarious being called a stalker in your own home by your brother."

"Yeah." I agree, "But not fun to live especially being pregnant and shoved around roughly. "

Just then, the police came and let me out and took me to the two men, who both hugged me in relief and worry.

The police apologise for mistreating me and promised that in future they would listen to the accused first.

Fuuto's view

I walk out to see a lovely-looking Emo chick in my home. I didn't recognise her at all. She didn't look at all like Ema or fat Ema, so she had to be a stalker.

I tie her up and call the police. They come and take her away.

After all that drama, I go to the kitchen to get a drink to calm my nerves down. Stalkers are such hassles, though this is the first one to enter my real home.

I saw food left out on the bench and decided to put it away as it would be a waste of food if it weren't.

As I finished, I noticed Yuri's wallet, phone, and keys on the bench. I didn't think anything of it; I figured that she had flaked out again in her room and would retrieve them later.

Just then, Ukyo came home and started cooking with the food bought. He seemed surprised that there was food. So I decided to tell him of my afternoon drama.

Ukyo was sympathetic to me right up until he heard the description of the stalker. He saw Yuri's things on the bench and called me a Stupid idiot.

Can you believe that? Me? A Stupid Idiot?
How rude.

To which Ukyo started calling people. The first being Azusa.

"Hey, Azusa, you will have to go to the police station with Tsubaki soon. Make sure that you go. He'll end up in jail himself if he goes alone, and that won't be any good for Yuri. I am going to let Tsubaki know to expect a call and to take you ok. Can you find him now? Ok bye"

I listen in amazement, "What is going on here? Why would Yuri be in jail?"

Ukyo then rang Tsubaki, "Tsubaki, the police will ring soon. They have your wife held on incorrect stalking and trespass charges. Keep your phone on you and for goodness sake, take Azusa with you, ok? Ok, bye."

The next thing I know, Ukyo is telling me off about how dare I have our treasured sister-in-law arrested in her own home. Didn't I listen when she said that it was her?

I said, "It looked NOTHING like her. How was I to know?"

Ukyo just shook his head in disbelief at me.

I realised that somehow, I had done something foolish, but I don't know what. I go sit in the lounge thinking over what happened and still don't understand.

Tsubaki view

I was working hard and looking forward to being with my wife and family tonight. She had messaged me that she was going to cook for everyone tonight but had to go out to get food as there was none in the kitchen.

The next thing I get is Azusa arriving and staying near me and a phone call from Ukyo saying that the police would call as my wife had been arrested and to take Azusa with me to get her.

I wasn't inclined to listen, but I have to admit that I am rather touchy about my wife, so it made sense.

The police rang, and Yuri told me what had happened. I was livid. How dare Fuuto hit my wife and then have her arrested! Azusa looking at me, said, "I will drive. You will get us killed with the way you are now."

As I agreed with him, I let him. Azusa drove quickly and safely to the station, after which I made a huge ordeal out of what happened to my wife. I was about to be arrested when Azusa stepped in.

"Be quiet, Tsubaki!" He said, "I will deal with this; you identify your wife." So, I did. It took a little while longer, but Yuri was released to us. Both Azusa and I hugged her to us in relief that she was ok. We all hugged for a while.

I ended up picking up my wife and carrying her out of the station; I was not going to let her go again that night.

Azusa just followed, bemused. Azusa opened up the car, and we sat in the back seat while he drove. I think he understood my worry and was a little bit jealous.

When we arrived home, we agreed that the best place for Yuri and I was our room as I was likely to do something stupid to Fuuto.

However, I underestimated Yuri's want to get her stuff from the kitchen.

So we went...

The first thing I see is Fuuto looking surprised at me holding the very Emo girl he had arrested that afternoon.

"Why is the stalker back?" He asked.

Something snapped in both Azusa and I. We were in front of him yelling, "Yuri is no stalker!" And punched him once.

Both of us stepped back and removed ourselves from his presence rapidly.
"Do. Not. Come. Near. Us in the near future Fuuto. " we say and walk to our rooms and slam the door behind us.

Yuri got her things and some food for us both from Ukyo and bought them up to our room.

She let herself in and put the food in the fridge for later. I think she knew that I needed to hold her and calm down. So, we held each other.


Ukyo's view

Yuri came in and got her things.

"Would you like to take dinner up to your room for you both?"

She nodded and waited for me to plate it up for them. "Thank you, Ukyo. I appreciate this."

"No worries, " I say, knowing that she could not say much more due to the situation.

I look over to a confused and hurt Fuuto and take pity on him.

I go over and sit next to him. "Fuuto, are you ok?"

"No, I don't understand what happened and why I am in the wrong," he said.

"Fuuto, I have to ask you, what do you know of Yuri?"

"Fat Ema, nothing except that she is Tsubaki's wife," Fuuto said petulantly.

"Did you bother to get to know her after finding out Tsubaki had a wife?"

"No."

"Well, don't you think that you should have made an effort to get to know her?" I ask gently.

"I don't know. I never thought about it. But I guess."

I sigh. "Fuuto, if you had got to know her even a little, you would not have made this mistake... you would have known that Yuri is extremely nervous and shy, and to function, she has to act a role. Most of the time lately, that role is Emo Yuri. Sometimes she is Ema Yuri, and if she is feeling particularly good, we just get Yuri. "

I could see understanding start on Fuuto's face.

"I see," Fuuto said. "I owe her an apology, don't I?"

I smile, relieved that he understood his error. "Good idea, but I suggest you wait until tomorrow before trying. I think Tsubaki would knock you out if you go up now."

Fuuto nods in agreement. "True, thanks, Ukyo, for explaining it to me. I think I will go to my room now," and he leaves.

Fuuto's view

I decided that I would find out from Iori what flower means "I am sorry " and leave it at their door tonight.

So I find Iori, and he tells me it is the Hyacinth flower. He happened to have some flowering and gave me one after hearing my story.

I go and ring their door and leave the flower on the floor for them to find.

I don't sleep particularly well, and I get up early to apologise to Yuri.

Yuri's view

I stand hugging my husband for what seems like a long time. We both don't exactly know what we are feeling, but we need just to be.

We hear our bell chime, and I go and answer the door.

There is no one there, but a flower is on the floor. I pick it up and bring it in.

I don't understand the language of flowers. However, I feel that this was an apology of sorts from Fuuto.

I bring the flower in and put it in a vase.

"Hyacinth, " says Tsubaki, "it means I am sorry. "

"How do you know that?" I ask.

"It's the only flower I know as I have had to say sorry so many times before I met you. You have helped me so much that I no longer have to say it."

"Aww, your sweet, love. Anyway, I need to sleep... I have had enough excitement for today," and turn and wash off my make-up, turn on the lamp, turn off the main light and crawl into bed.

Tsubaki strips, turns off the lamp, and crawled in next to me.

"Night, love," he says, wraps his arms around me, and goes to sleep. I was glad for this as that was all I was capable of.

At some time later, we comforted each other the other way and felt better after.

In the morning, Fuuto apologised to us, and we forgave him. I could see that he was genuinely sorry and had decided to get to know me for himself instead of constantly insulting me.

When Fuuto found out that I was the reason for his brother's promotion and popularity as voice actors, he chased me to help him too.

I apologised to him, "I am sorry, Fuuto, but I can't help you. I know nothing of singing."

Somehow though, he still convinced me to listen to his new songs and ask my opinion. When he first started doing this, I would say I liked the lyrics, but the music annoys me. Later, I could listen to both and enjoy it. Strangely, in catering to me, he became an even greater star. His brothers no longer turned his concerts off when they were on too.
