Chapter 29: You Bothered Me For That?
Kagome Kagome, Kago no naka no Tori wa
Itsu Itsu deyaru? Yoake no ban ni
Tsuru to kame ga subetta.
Ushiro no shoumen daare?
Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage,
when will you come out?
In the evening of the dawn,
the crane and turtle slipped.
Who stands right behind you now?
Eiri’s eye twitched as he heard Shuichi’s voice looming closer to where he had taken refuge within his study. Usually, the sound of Shuichi singing stirred up his libido, which in turn tended to get the both of them into some serious trouble depending on where they were or what they were doing at the time, but now it was starting to wear on his nerves. If he heard that song again anytime soon, he swore that he was going to snap. “Yeah, snap his scrawny little neck,” he muttered in annoyance.
When he heard the rattling of the doorknob, he scowled. He should have known it would be too good to be true. Since the baka had been forced to take leave, he was starting to grow stir crazy. A bored baka meant an increasingly irritated Eiri Yuki. If he did not love the psychotic singer, he would strangle him. Actually, that did not sound like a bad idea. A light growl vibrated in his throat as the door was slid open.
“Hey, Eiri?”
Eiri hunched over his computer. Maybe if he stayed quiet and said absolutely nothing than maybe Shuichi would get the hint and leave him alone. He still had not finished this damned-able story and the deadline was frighteningly closer. Frankly, he could care less about deadlines. On one hand, they were just the motivation and kick in the ass that he needed to finish his stories. On the other hand, they put undo pressure on a writer. Sometimes things had to be sacrificed in a story in order for the story to be finished on time. He only wanted to make sure he finished his relatively on time so that he did not have to put up with his editor.
“Eiri?”
Shuichi’s voice sounded closer this time.
“Eiri?”
Damn. “What?” Eiri muttered around the unlit cigarette clamped between his lips. His golden eyes never left the screen and the fingers continued flying over the keys in a blur of movement.
June was so close to the edge. So very close.
A sense of urgency swept through Eiri as his latest novel reached its climax.
“Did you know that Kagome is not a traditional Japanese name?”
His train of thought popped like a nose bubble. Eiri’s hands paused over the keyboard. The consistent noise of the click-clack of the keys fell silent. He looked up over his computer at the bookcase opposite him and blinked.
“Isn’t that funny? I mean, one of the characters from Inuyasha is named ‘Kagome’, but it’s not a real Japanese name. Ya know, I never knew that. Did you?” Without waiting for an answer, he continued, “But it is part of that children's chant. Ya know ‘Kagome. Kagome’. Apparently, the meaning behind the chant is lost. You know the chant, right?”
Of course he knew all about that stupid children’s game. He had played it as a child with Mika and Tatsuha just as he suspected Shuichi had done with Maiko.
A Japanese children’s game, “Kagome, Kagome” was similar to the game of tag. One child is chosen as the oni and sits with his eyes covered. The other children join hands and walk in circles around the oni while chanting the song for the game. When the song stops, the child who was playing the role of the oni speaks aloud the name of the person behind him, and if he is correct, that person will exchange places with the oni.
“Kagome Kagome, Kago no naka no Tori wa,” Shuichi started singing.
Dear God, help him.
“And you are telling me this…why?”
Shuichi stopped singing and shrugged. “Just thought you’d like to know,” he said.
Eiri sighed as Shuichi skipped out of the room.
