Chapter 5 - A Burglar

"What happened, Nagashi?"

Nagashi started to approach the dark figure, this figure had a dark cloak and Nagashi grabbed the edge and pulled it off.

"Damn it" he whispered and slammed his fist into the figure's face.

"You really thought it was a real person," Yuki laughed.

"But who wouldn't, and what this thing is doing in here, it looks like it is watching us"

"Calm down, Nagashi, Mia and I will do everything ourselves - you just have to open the door to make it easier to carry things to the car."

"What things?"

"The things we will find here"

"I hope not a dummy," Nagashi replied and walked towards the door with the hammer.

He pushed the lock with all his strength and the door creaked open.

'Damn, I should have done that earlier', he thought.

But suddenly he looked at his hand and it was dripping with blood.

"How are you?" Mia suddenly said, approaching Nagashi.

"Everything is fine, don't worry, go do your things"

Nagashi left the house and Miya followed him.

"What do you want?" Nagashi asked, looking at her.

"Maybe you can stop being Mr. Pride and let me look at the wound".

"How about your boyfriend?"

"What do you mean?"

"He won't like it"

Mia let out an indignant sigh.

"Okay, if you don't want to, I'll go inside". Mia was already ready to go into the house but Nagashi stopped her and stretched out his wounded hand.

Mia examined his wound, rinsed it, and wrapped with a handkerchief from her pocket.

"When we come back home, I'll wash it with antiseptic."

"Did you study medicine?"

"No, in fact, you don't need to study medicine to know that a wound needs to be rinsed".

Nagashi pulled his hand away.

"Thank you" he said quietly.

"You're welcome"

Nagashi looked at Miya from head to toe as she entered the house and then exhaled loudly.

He just stood there for a while, then went down the stairs and stood by the car.

'What the hell am I doing here with these two? Was sneaking into other people's houses something I wanted to do in my life?'

Nagashi suddenly shuddered at these thoughts and looked at the front seat. He noticed cigarettes there and tried to get them out through the open window.

"What the hell are you doing?" 

Nagashi quickly pulled out his hand and looked at Yuki who was standing with a box of junk in his hands.

"You'd better help me instead of touching other people's things"

"I wanted only one"

"Didn't know you smoked" 

"I've tried few times"

Yuki smiled, put the box in the trunk and opened the front door, then took out a cigarette and threw it to Nagashi.

Nagashi caught a cigarette and Yuki let him light it.

"Thank you," he said and turned away.

"You are welcome, I hate smoking to be honest but I do this from time to time as long as Mia doesn't see". Yuki pulled out a cigar and took a puff.

"Are you afraid of her or what?"

"No, but she has changed my life, she helped me when I was already on the edge".

"And what did she do?"

"She just appeared in my life"

"Bruh" Nagashi snorted and looked at Yuki, he was sickened by the mere thought that Yuki was totally whipped.

Suddenly Mia appeared and Yuki feverishly threw out his cigar and stomped on it. When Mia approached him she cringed from the smell of smoke and said

"Ew, what the smell!? Have you been smoking?"

"No, it's Nagashi" Yuki said innocently.

Miya looked at Nagashi but didn't say a word and then looked at Yuki indignantly.

"Okay, honey, it was the last time"

Mia opened the front doors of the car, took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it into a nearby trash can.

"What are you doing?" Nagashi asked, raising his eyebrows.

"You lied to me, Yuki" she said quietly, not looking at her boyfriend.

"It was a joke, honey, I'm sorry, you will forgive your stupid Yuki, won't you?"

Yuki approached Miya and hugged her around the waist.

"Of course I will" she said and smiled, allowing Yuki to kiss her on a cheek.

'I'd tear them apart on the spot', Nagashi thought, and then said

"So, we didn't gather here for a good cause, but rather to determine how harmful smoking a simple cigar is".

Yuki glanced at Nagashi and then entered the house again where didn't appear for a while.

"Why aren't you following him?" Nagashi asked, looking at Mia who was standing by the car.

"I feel nauseous"

"Because of smoke?"

"I don't know, I've never had anything like that before"

Nagashi threw away the cigarette and looked intently at Mia's pale face as she clutched her stomach, looking like she was about to vomit.

"What if you are pregnant?" 

After that question, Mia threw up. Nagashi knelt beside her, holding her hair back until she was done.

"Get your hands off," she muttered.

Nagashi stepped back.

"How are you?" he asked.

"I'm fine, just don't say Yuki about that"

"About what?"

"About me feeling not good"

Mia suddenly stood up, pulled a handkerchief from the car, and wiped her face on it.

"Why not?"

"I don't want him to worry about me"

"But what if it's something serious, people don't feel bad for no reason"

"Don't stick your nose in other people's business," Mia replied and went into the house.

Nagashi just snorted and looked at the place where Mia had vomited a second ago.

'She is hiding something' he said and looked into the car.

Nagashi wanted to take out Mia's purse but then he thought he didn't care that much, so he just stood there leaning against the car and looking ahead.

'I wonder what my mom would say if she knew I was helping strangers steal things from the house.

Maybe she wouldn't mind if she knew I was doing all this just for her'.

Nagashi looked around and noticed that there was no car or person nearby. 'This place is strange', he thought. 'What if someone is following us and reports everything to the police, then bad things will happen'.

"Nagashi" suddenly he heard Yuki's muffled voice and saw Yuki carrying Miya in his arms.

"What happened?" Nagashi asked, looking at Mia's body.

"I have no idea, she has just passed out out of nowhere"

"Put her in the car quickly," Nagashi replied, opening the back door.

Yuki did as Nagashi told and then looked at him with a pleading look

"Tell me that everything will be okay with her"

"Everything will be"

Yuki patted him on the shoulder and was ready to wrive a car but Nagashi stopped him.

"I think you'd better stay here, I'll come back from the hospital in a while and we'll carry all the things you found into the trunk

"But..?"

"No buts Yuki, don't forget that's your job"

"Didn't you say you couldn't drive?"

"I tried several times just trust me"

"I won't leave you alone with her"

Nagashi just got behind the wheel despite Yuki's protests and drove to the nearest hospital where his father had recently been.
