Chapter 18

Life wasn't really different without Yukimura, but somehow there was some sort of emptiness. There weren't that many people working at the club or hanging around in the house, so it easily felt empty now that one of them would never be around anymore. They had gotten a phone call from Yukimura. He had said he was doing fine and that his new place was big an so incredibly beautiful. It made the others feel a little better. Yukimura was doing fine.

'Who should I fight with now?' asked Fuji bored. He was hanging around upside down on the couch in the living room. Eiji was sitting next to him and Nioh was lying on the other couch.

'You seem to do a pretty good job in fighting with Mizuki,' said the gray-haired guy. 'You're better at fighting him than fighting with Yukimura.'

'True,' answered Fuji. 'But Mituli-kun is annoying. Yukimura wasn't. Or at least not as annoying as Mr. Diva is.'

'Guys, I want to introduce someone to you,' said Oishi who entered the room.

The three men on the couches sat up straight. Fuji turned himself around and peeked over the back of the couch to see who was there. Next to Oishi stood a really tall guy with short gray hair. His legs seemed to go on forever. Fuji examined him from head to toe.

'Did Tezuka get a new one yesterday?' he asked surprised. It had been Monday yesterday. Often Tezuka went out with Momoshiro and Kaidoh on a Monday, because then they all had a day off. They wouldn't have to abandon their job at the club.

'Yes,' answered Oishi. 'His name is Ohtori Choutarou. Please help him to find him way around and please be kind to him. Ohtori, these guys are Kikumaru Eiji, Fuji Syuusuke and Nioh Masaharu.'

'Nice to meet you,' said the tall young man.

'Nice to meet you too,' answered Fuji with a kind smile. Then Oishi took Ohtori to the kitchen to meet Kaidoh. Fuji turned around. 'Seems Yukimura's spot is filled. But not with a guy I can fight with.'

'No, it looked like he was way too shy to do this kind of work,' stated Nioh. 'I don't think he will make it. What do you think.'

'It will be really hard for him,' said Eiji. 'He looks like a nice guy, but I think that is the problem.'

'Did you talk about me like that?' asked Fuji. 'When you met me? Did you say such things about me as well?'

'Not exactly the same,' answered Nioh. 'I thought you looked shy, but there was something about you that showed you weren't afraid of anything and that you wouldn't let things rest. When I heard you tried to escape I knew I was right. You were one to fight for your life and your place here in the house. It didn't take you long to become the favourite of all our guests. I was right about you and I will be right about that Ohtori as well. No matter how you look at him, he is a shy guy. He is not like you at all.'

'Don't you think we should just be kind to him then and help him?' asked Fuji. 'Really, a little help when you start working here would be nice. It's hard to find everything out on your own.'

'Help him if you want. Takes enough of my time to help myself.'

'You're not doing a thing Nioh, you really are lazy,' laughed Fuji. 'I don't mind helping him. If he wants my help that is.'

'I want to see him in a dress,' said Nioh suddenly.

Fuji laughed again. 'You're not just lazy, you are a pervert as well. Let me guess, you said that about me as well? Right?'

'I did,' answered Nioh. 'I would still like to see that, it will suit you for sure.'

'Keep dreaming, I'm not going to wear a dress for you and I will make sure you won't be able to get that Ohtori in a dress either.'

Fuji stood up. 'Unless we get to see you in a dress as well.' With that said he walked away. 'Ne, Oishi, is there anything I can do to help?'
