Nastuki looked back at Ayuko with an angry look in his eyes "You don't intmidate me Ayuko" Nastuki said Ayuko clikced her tounge "Fine then you can just leave now" Ayuko said "Gladly" Natsuki said and he walked passed Ayuko when Nastuki passed her Ayuko looked at Natsuki and her eyes widened "Shu..Shuji-nii" Ayuko whispered Natsuki was able to her it a bit "Did you say something?" Nastuki said looking back at her Ayuko looked at Nastuki's face and she had a case of dejavu as the image of her brother overlapped with Natsuki at that moment something Natsuki didn't expect to happen did Ayuko started to cry.
Natsuki's eyes softened when he saw Ayuko crying "Ayuko whats wrong?" Natsuki asked concerned "Shuji-nii please don't leave me again" Ayuko said "Ayuko...I'm Natsuki..not Shuji" Natsuki said Ayuko wasn't listeneing she was focused on the image of her brother overlapping with Natsuki's but then when she looked harder at Natsuki she regained her right mind. She coughed "Get going I don't want you here" Ayuko said the softened look in Natsuki's eyes vanished and the angry look returned and he walked up the stairs while he packed all his things together Ayuko stood by herself "How could I lose my composure like that" Ayuko said as she bit her thumbnail "I thought I was over that" Ayuko said "Damn that boy for looking just like him" Ayuko grumbled at that moment Natsuki came back down the stairs with his suitcase the same one he arrived with "Hmm, so you were serious" Ayuko grinned Natsuki nodded.
"Well then, get going and don't think about trying to come back" Ayuko said as she opened the front door "I wouldn't come back here even if it killed me" Natsuki said "Get out of here!" Ayuko shouted Natsuki clicked his tounge and went to the door he walked out but before Ayuko closed it he stopped "What's the matter? Forget something?" Ayuko asked in annoyance "I just have one question for you" Natsuki said "And that would be?" Ayuko said "Why if you didn't even care for me why did you say yes to my mom when she asked you if I could live here?" Natsuki asked Ayuko seemed to be floored by Natsuki's question so much so that she just stared at him as he looked at her from outside the door.
Natsuki waited to hear an answer to his question but Ayuko just stayed quiet "There has to be a reason why you said yes"Natsuki said Ayuko's lips quivered "You really want to know why?" Ayuko asked Natsuki nodded Ayuko took a breath "I said yes because I thought if you were here it would be like Shuji-nii was back" Ayuko said Natsuki gritted his teeth that was the only reason his aunt allowed him to live with her his looks "I'm not like Shuji when will you people learn" Natsuki said "I wiil never be like him and nothing will change me into him" Natsuki said "That defiant nature of yours comes from your mother" Ayuko said "She never gave up when it came to getting me to say it was okay if you lived with me" she said "Don't talk about my mother like that you no longer have the right to talk so familiarly about her" Natsuki said "Your just as bad as Shuji" Natsuki said "You lied to my mother and I can never forgive someone who does that even if their family" Natsuki said giving an angry stare.
"Never make any contact whatsoever with my mother again or me for that matter" Natsuki said "Fine you hate me and I hate you seems fine with me can you get going now I'd like to go to sleep" Ayuko said "Tsk, sure" Nastuki said and he turned his head away and started walking down the path from the door Ayuko watched Natsuki leave staring at his back again the image of her brother leaving her showed Ayuko fought her emotions back and she slammed the door closed as to not see the image again now all alone Ayuko slid down to the floor and put her back against the door and put her head into her knees.
"What is wrong with me" Ayuko said "I just threw my nephew out into the streets with no where to go" Ayuko said she was mad at Nastuki but as well as herself "Why did I have to act like I didn't care for him at all" Ayuko said she had been overjoyed when Natsuki's mother called her and asked her if she'd let Nastuki live with her but when the memories of her brother came back instead of love she showed Nastuki hate and pushed him away "It's all because of Shuji" Ayuko said "I'm sorry Yumi-san I messed up" Ayuko said addressing Nastuki's mother and she looked up at the ceiling she thought about running out the house to get Nastuki to come back but after the show she put on there was no way he would come back to live with her Ayuko had royaly messed up.
Back outside Nastuki walked down the road the sun had just started to go down and soon it would be nighttime "I need to find a place to stay before night falls" Natsuki said but that was easier said then done he had no money and he didn't know if their was anyone who'd let him stay at their house until he found his own place "Did I make a really big mistake?" Natsuki asked himself maybe he should have waited to tell Ayuko off when he had the money to live on his own instead of blowing up on her in that spontanteous moment "No, I can't go back now, I've decided I'm not going to live with a women whose cares nothing for me" Nastuki said and he continued walking it wasn't getting easier finding a place to spend the night he walked around the now night blanketed street looking around for any sign of a place he could stay at that moment his mind wander back to maybe this being a big mistake. But Natsuki knew there was no way he could go back now not after coming so far he sighed and continued to look around he saw a few motels that were open but all of them costed money to stay for the night which Natsuki did not have Natsuki was about to give up after passing the fifth pricey motel.
"Maybe, if I go back and apologize alot Ayuko will let me stay" Natsuki said "Well, what do you know" came a famillar voice Natsuki looked and saw a famillair face "Aya-sensei" Natsuki said looking upon the school nurse he had just met not that long ago "What are you doing out so late Natsuki-kun?" Aya-sensei asked and she took notice of the suitcase he held in his hands "Where are you going?" Aya-sensei asked "Ayuko threw me out" Natsuki said "What,why did she do that!?" Aya-sensei said in surprise "I kinda told her off" Natsuki said "Why did you do something as stupid as that?" Aya-sensei asked "I decided since I'm going to keep my promise why Yu-chan that I shouldn't live under the same roof as a women who'd be against it" Natsuki said "My, my, so I was right you and that girl you were with earlier today are together" Aya-sensei said Natsuki blushed "She's really cute, you should really hold on to her Natsuki-kun" Aya-sensei said "I intend to" Natsuki said.

Aya-sensei seemed pleased by Natsuki's determination"My aren't you a little rebel" Aya-sensei said "Yeah,but I think being a rebel costed me a place to stay the night" Natsuki said "Oh, that is a bad thing isn't it" Aya-sensei said Natsuki nodded and sighed "You know somewhere I can spend the night for free?" Natsuki asked "As a matter of fact I do" Aya-sensei said "You do! Where can I find this place!?" Natsuki said with hope "It's my place, come on you can spend the night at my apartment" Aya-sensei said Natsuki paused "Are you sure about that?" Natsuki asked "Why? Are you unhappy getting to spend the night at a sexy older womens home?" Aya-sensei asked "That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Natsuki said.
"I'm a student and your a staff member of the school I go to woudln't that be bad for both of us if it were found out we spent the night together!" Natsuki said his face red "My my, your definatley not like Shuji" Aya-sensei said Natsuki growled "Sorry! Anyway I don't think you'll find anyone or anywhere's else you can stay for the night" Aya-sensei said Natsuki swallowed hard "So, you have two choiced either come home with me or spend the night camping under the stars" Aya-sensei said with a smirk Natsuki sighed Aya-sensei had him in a tight spot he then weighed his options "Tick tock Natsuki-kun" Aya-sensei said "If you don't answer now I'll just leave you here" Aya-sensei said Natsuki grumbled "Fine! I'll stay the night at your place alright!" Natsuki shouted "Good choice,fallow me" Aya-sensei said Natsuki couldn't belive what was happeneing he had just agreed to stay at his school nurses house "What have I gotten myself into!" Natsuki said to himself.
After fallowing Aya-sensei what seemed like for hours they finally came to her place which was a two bedroom apartment "Well, here we are" Aya-sensei said presenting her apartment "Good, now can we please get inside before the wrong person sees!" Natsuki shouted lowly "Alright keep you pants on!" Aya-sensei shouted back lowly and she opened her front door and walked in Natsuki fallowed behind her Aya-sensei flicked the lights on "You can go put your stuff in the empty bedroom" Aya-sensei said as she placed her apartment key on a shelf Natsuki nodded and he cautiously walked around Aya-sensei's apartment "I don't have any unmentionables out if that's what your thinking" Aya-sensei said taking notice of Natsuki's cautios nature "Ah, I see" Natsuki said and he started walking normally to the empty room he put down his suitcase Aya-sensei came to the door "Hey, you must be hungry want to eat?" Aya-sensei asked.
Natsuki looked at Aya-sensei and blushed a bit somehow in the time he walked into the room she had somehow changed out of her nurse clothes into casual clothes which consisted of a simple grey short sleeved shirt with a pair of cotton pajama pants she also had her hair tied up into a single ponytail "Something the matter?" Aya-sensei asked "Ah,no nothing!" Natsuki said turning his face "Ah,are you captivated by the appeal of an older women?" Aya-sensei teased "No way! and I'm not a cheater!" Natsuki said "I don't think just looking counts as cheating" Aya-sensei said Natsuki grubmled and decided to look at Aya-sensei again man was Aya-sensei pretty Natsuki thought he shook his head "Remember Yu-chan!" Natsuki said and he pictured Yuma in his head "Anyway, I asked you if your hungry" Aya-sensei said "Yeah, I kinda am now that you ask" Natsuki said "Well then, come into the kitchen I'll cook us something" Aya-sensei said "You can cook!" Natsuki jumped up "Yeah, why?" Aya-sensei asked "It's just back at Ayuko's all she had to eat was cup ramen" Natsuki said "Geez, Ayuko still never learned how to cook" Aya-sensei said "You know Ayuko too?" Natsuki asked "Well of course, I was friends with Shuji for years of course I'd know Ayuko" Aya-sensei said a click went off in Natsuki's head he remembered Aya-sensei telling him at school that She and Shuji were childhood friends.
"Was Shuji always.." Natsuki paused "Was he always a girl crazy playboy?" Aya-sensei asked Natsuki nodded "Well, no not at first but he changed once he started middle school" Aya-sensei said Aya-sensei could see the look starting to form on Natsuki's face "Lets not talk about something like that! Lets get to getting some food shall we!" Aya-sensei said "Sure" Nastuki smirked and Aya-sensei smiled and turned to walk out the room "Aya-sensei" Natsuki said "Yes? What is it?" Aya-sensei asked "Thanks for letting me stay here" Natsuki said "Your welcome" Aya-sensei said "And Natsuki-kun" Aya-sensei said "Yes, what is it Aya-sensei?" Natsuki asked "You don't have to address me as sensei were not at school" Aya-sensei said "Oh, then what should I call you now?" Natsuki asked.
Aya-sensei smiled "Just call me Aya" she said "Aya" Natsuki said and he blushed Aya laughed "Come on lets get ourselves fed" she said Nastuki blush faded and nodded and fallowed her out the room to the kitchen where she got to work cooking she made enough for the two of them and the two of them ate together in a mere minuets they had each finsihed their plates "I'll wash the dishes" Natsuki offered "Oh,you don't have to!" Aya said "No,you cooked for me, the least I can do is wash the dishes" Natsuki said "Okay go ahead" Aya said and Natsuki washed the dishes they used.
"So, what do you plan to do?" Aya asked as Natsuki put the plates away "Well, I was told about a new place that's hiring" Natsuki said "And I plan to get a job there and save up some money for a place of my own" Natsuki said "Oh, so you do have a plan" Aya said "But,what are you going to do while you don't have a job?" Aya asked "What do you mean?" Natsuki asked "Where will you stay every night?" Aya asked Natsuki chocked he hand't thought about it "I guess once I get a job I can stay at motels" Natsuki said "You'll never save enough money for your own place if you keep renting rooms" Aya said Nastuki shuddered and sulked.
"Your right" Natsuki sighed "Well may I suggest something?" Aya said "What?" Natsuki asked "Why don't you just stay here until you have everything settled" Aya said the breath was knocked out of Natsuki he could understand spending one night at Aya-sensei's place but to extened that to who knows when left him speechless he thought Aya was joking but he could tell by the look on her face she was serious now Natsuki had a very big decision in front of him stay with Aya until he could get a place on his own and risk being caught living with a school facultiy member and risk expulsion and get Aya fired or decline and have to endure trying to find place after place to sleep "What the hell do I do now!?" he asked himself.
