'It's fun to spend the time with the one you love
Although sometimes love hurt…
And all you can do is nothing except saying sorry
I don't mind about that…
I…'
"Onee-SAMA!!" Minto's worried girly sickly voice's breaking my mental conversation.
"Yes, Mint-chan?"
"Why don't you go home?? Shouldn't you have some photo shoots??" asked her, started to get worried.
"Ne, Minto. Don't worry. I just… Mmm… Thinking about making some poem??" replied me, rolled my eyes. I looked back at my purple-handwriting, with some highlight, that colored dark blue.
Heck, I couldn't make a better reason…
"You know… Homework" replied me.
"So? Can I see your poem, Onee-sama??" asked her, giving me a puppy dog looks.
I rolled my eyes again.
"Here" replied me, handed my note to her.
Actually, I don't know what I've written, but at last I've tried, right??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After standing motionless at the top of the stairway for god knows how long,
I finally became aware of your surroundings…
And realized that I wasn't doing anything to improve this situation.
In fact, I wondered if I could do anything to improve this situation.
I know you'll never like me...
Never.
Then why am I so disappointed?
I don't understand myself sometimes.
I really cannot understand my self.
Anyone always say that I'm emotionless…
Are that true??
What if…
What if that is true??
MY fear even justified?
Again, I'm standing in the pouring rain.
With no body.
No one.
You're not beside me.
How I can live with that??
Paying no attention to the rain,
To the passer-bys,
Or even to where I was going,
I tried to figure out what I'd done wrong.
That was plain ridiculous!
Hell, I didn't know what you're feeling.
I even didn't know what this feeling is.
I sighed and kicked a pebble on the sidewalk.
It bounced for several feet and rolled into the sewer.
One wouldn't call another person if the other person didn't mean something, right?
A friend, a good friend, a very good friend.
Someone more than a friend,
Someone worth risking my life for,
Someone I'd loved...
Maybe it was all that bastard's fault!
Mirror nonsense, I thought.
It's only photos being reflected.
It has nothing to do with truth.
It's physics. Cold-blooded physics.
I hastened MY pace.
When the people who could give ME an answer didn't give it to ME,
I sought for the final way out.
Death.
No more questions, no more confusion.
Life was meaningless.
Yeah… that's true,
Nothing except truth
Did I prove anything wrong?
No… no at all… I just wanna you know,
I love you more than everyone in this world
Its true, not a joke
Anyway, I've loved you since forever
For somebody who read it first…
Hmm… No bad, right??
------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, What a good poem, Onee-sama!!" commented Minto.
"Maybe, you could get an A+ this time" added her, still reading Zakuro's poem.
Zakuro didn't really hear what Minto said, so she replies, "Uh??"
"Who… is this poem belonged to??" asked Minto, in confusion.
"Heh??" confused, Zakuro then took her paper.
This time, she really – hey, she wrote with her eyes closed?? - pays attention to read her handwriting.
There was… Oh my GOD!! How on the earth I wrote something like THIS???
Zakuro's face getting redder.
Minto chuckled, seeing Zakuro's emotion.
"Hey, Onee-sama?"
"Hmm?" replied me, trying to hide my blush.
"How about going to my house?? I don't have any ballet or shamisen or something like that this day… Can you accompany me??" asked Minto, looking at Zakuro. I chuckled a little.
Of course she would.
Hey? Of course I will. I don't have anything to do…
"Sure. Why not??" replied Zakuro, with a smirk.
------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
At Aizawa's mansion…
"Hey, Minto-Imouto-Chan" greeted Seiji. The he looked at Zakuro.
"Hi, Fujiwara-san"
"Hi too, Ani-san." Minto greeted back.
"Hi, Aizawa-san" Greeted Zakuro, tried to be polite.
"Err… Imouto-chan… Mmm"
Seiji tried to hide his fidgetiness, but I could clearly see it.
Seiji's getting worried, I even don't know why.
The only one thing that's impossible is if he is in love with me…
Wait. What?? Of course not.
He's just nervous, since he saw Minto, so he might be worried something bad happened to her, or just will be happening.
"Why? What's wrong, Ani-san??"
"Uh??" Seiji now rolled his eyes, and all I could do is giving a slight smirk.
"Hey, Minto!!"
Minto's father was smiling all way to us.
Err… Us??
Correction.
Not us, but just Minto.
"Otou-san!!" chirped Minto, happily, hugged her father.
Minto smiled. She hasn't seen her parents for long time…
"Darling" said a beautiful woman, I recognized as Minto's mom.
She looked like... Minto… Hey, Of course…
"Mama!!" said Minto, now hugging her mom.
They seem happy… Why the heck I'm here?? I thought I'm just annoying their precious meeting… It's better leaving, but…
"I haven't seen you all, since dad's last… Mmm… Business at Europe…" confessed Minto, honestly.
"Oh, baby, you know, dad was so sad for not seeing you for long time" said Minto's dad, with a voice that's… well… he still thought Minto is still a baby until now.
This crap, I thought, make Minto smile.
"Thanks, dad" said her, happily. "But I'm not a baby now" added Minto, quickly.
They both laughed.
Then, Minto's parents shared glared for few second.
I could have sworn that they're thinking about something bad…
And that are about to be happened…
I have a knack for that…
Wait.
A knack??
Sixth sense??
Umm… No…
Zakuro shook her head. She's not a type of person that'll believe about knack or something like that…
"Minto… we've get something for you"
"Hmm??" replied Minto, having a bad feeling about this.
I mean… Why her parents are so…protective… well… not protective, but… um… strange.
They're too happy.
Minto felt uneasy with this.
"Sweetheart, see this!!" Mom gave Minto a paper. She cheered happily.
Something was written here.
"Ehh??"
Minto really get shocked, in fact, I never see her so shocked like this after our encounter with deep blue. I looked at the paper too, and… well… It's really surprising; I beat this make my heart stop pumping for a second.
Her parent's really good one for surprise.
"O… OMIAI??" Shouted Minto, not ladylike.
She looked at the word, Omiai, that was written in Kanji.
Yeah, Omiai means… uh? Look at the author's notes
"Yes, I've found someone that…" Zakuro cut him out.
Hahahaha… This is so funny…
"How on the earth this thing like this still happen 'till now??" asked Zakuro, place her hand on her hip.
"Well, don't sass me, young lady! Who are you?? What do you want?? What's your relationship with my little daugh-"
"Mother!!" Minto cut in with a deep blush.
"I'm not a little child again… Anyways, please meet Zakuro, Fujiwara Zakuro, my best friend, and also my Idol… mmm… ma… my… my role-model" finished Minto, blushing red.
Zakuro blushed for a second.
"Oh… Great to hear that… Baby, since Fujiwara-san is not your girl-friend… Er… I mean… Minto… you-"
"Don't worry, dad. Me and Zakuro… I mean… Onee-sama is NOT my girlfriend" replied Minto, while smiling to me. I forced myself to smile.
Not my Girlfriend…
She is not my girlfriend…
What's that mean??
That's mean… I'm nothing to her, right??
I…
Heck, what are you thinking about, Zakuro??
You're nothing to her…
So what??
What's the point??
I start to act like a fool…
No way! There's no way I'll say that I love her.
Wait. Why I have to think about something stupid like that??
Minto, you baka
Zakuro shook her head. The word Minto'd said, leave her rather hurt.
"Hey, Onee-sama?? You're not my girlfriend, right??" asked Minto, innocently, smiled to me.
Oh, damn!! Checkmate! Damn her!
How on the earth she asked something like that??
Of course I'm not her girlfriend, but… saying or thinking about this makes me… slightly sad…
"Wha- well… Of course I'm not your girlfriend" replied Zakuro, coldly, without missing a beat. Or without a slight blush. She didn't want to show Minto her real emotion now. She's purely confused, and puzzled by Minto's words.
What's the matter with her??
Minto thought that Zakuro's voice is not neutral; she thought that Zakuro was thinking about something else, so she ventured to ask her.
"Are you feeling well, Onee-sama??" asked her, getting worried with this.
She gently put her cold palm to my forehead. I actually almost blushing, but I tried to hide it. Then, I slapped her hand roughly. Zakuro acted like she didn't care.
Surely, that's not a good way to act, but I couldn't help… Sorry, Minto…
"Why should you care?" was my snappish response.
Actually, I really like… er… love, when Minto cared about me at all. But I just can't say that to her… Selfish… That's what I am… I'm officially a coward.
"Just kidding" replied me, smiled to her.
Not that everything matter. She smiled.
Smiled. Her smile makes me feel better…
"You know, Kotori-chan. I'm such a pathetic little liar" said Zakuro, forced herself to smile.
'Zakuro… she… called me by… that… I mean… the pet name she gave to me… But I…' thought Minto.
"Ookami-san" whispered Minto, quietly.
"Mmm??" Zakuro turned her head. She could clearly see Minto's blush.
"Nothing. A… Anyways, father, what are you going to talk about??"
"Great thinking Sherlock. Minto, meet you make me remembered something, tomorrow, since its Sunday; please meet your fiancé, Schene-" Minto cut in.
"Father??"
He just responded with a grunt. And a skeptical eyebrow.
"Well, what's the matter, sweetheart??" asked Minto's mother, puzzled wit this.
"Mom… stops joking me about this… this stupid idea about… This… Engagement…"
Zakuro just glared at him.
"What? We are not joking, Minto, we-" Now, Seiji cut his sentence off.
"Father… please, don't be mad. I hate this silly idea" said Seiji, rolled his eyes, Exasperated.
"Why?" Minto's mother asked enthusiastically.
"Do you hate him, Seiji??"
"No, but… he's… not… mm…" Seiji mumbled, "Not perfect for Minto"
"Yes, he is- Wait. What do you mean, Ani-sama??" asked Minto, getting confused.
"You don't know how that person is" confessed Seiji, looking away. "And, for some addition, he's worth to be hate" added him, looked disgust remembering that Schneider-guy.
"Mmm" was a comment that comes from my mouth.
Minto has a fiancé? How on the earth I could deal with this?? No way. I would like to kill that stupid perverted bastard that's trying to steal Minto away from me!! I would…
Wait. Why the hell I'm thinking about that?? I… I mean… Is that means that she is something more for me??
I… Shit. Why I think about that?? Can't I think about her in the exactly the same way I always think that she's annoying?? Damn! Damn! Darn! Dammit!! I have to admit that I love her!
But… How if she… How if she… like her fiancé more than me??
Hell, that her fiancé…
Minto waved her right hand in front of me that bring me back to reality.
"Yes, Minto-chan??" I gave her a smooth, dazzling, perfect smile, that's so rare, appeared in my face. She chuckled.
Minto say, "Well, Let's see who is Christopher, then" She turned to see me. "Do you want to come??" asked her, pleaded.
Of course Zakuro will come.
"Sure, why not?" that's my reply for her, instead of giving her a pat on her head.
I titled my lips to show a light smirk, or in my words, a victory smile. He eh. If Seiji hates him, maybe he could help me. Tomorrow, come what may…
"Hey, Onee-sama?? Where are you going??" asked her, questioned me.
"Going home, of course" answered me, simply, gives her a light smirk.
"Fujiwara-san… why don't you stay here?? The night will come soon" said Minto's mother.
Bingo! That's what I have thinking about… Smart this Aizawa-san… Of course I will…
"Hai. Thank you so much, Aizawa-san" replied Zakuro, politely. She then smiles.
'Take that, Schneider' thought Zakuro, victoriously, with a light sneer appeared in her face.
Zakuro didn't know that Seiji is staring at her, wondering something. While Zakuro looked at him, he didn't look back, but looked at Minto.
"Father??" asked Minto, walking closer to him.
"Yes, baby??" asked him, stroking Minto's hair.
"I… and Onee-sama… Umm…"
"Well, you two could have a dinner now" replied her father.
"Ye, but… oh, about tomorrow, before that, we could take the day off, right??" asked Minto, pleaded, and begged him.
He smiled, while putting her palm on Minto's head, gently stroking her hair.
"Of course, why not, baby?? Right, darling??" He turned his head to face his wife.
Minto's mom nodded. "Right. Please, before dinner, Minto, sweetheart, could you lead Fujiwara-san upstairs, to her room, beside yours??" asked her, with a smile.
"Alright, mom. C'mon, Onee-sama" asked Minto, turned her head to face me.
"Ah… yes" replied me.
For a moment, I enjoyed the fact that Minto's snuggled around my arms. I like this. She dragged me here, to my bedroom.
Minto opened the door for me.
The room was… wonderful. It's just the same size as Minto's - said her - , and I like the paint color, purple. It's purple everywhere. The blanket, the pillow case, etc. I like the fact of thinking that Minto might have thought to invite me over…
"Hey, Onee-sama??" asked her, looking at me.
"Umm?" replied me, with a skeptical eyebrow.
"Do you like it?? I have made it special just for you" came a small confession from Minto, who wore a light blush on her face.
I don't know if I do something wrong, but… I could have sworn that she is… Minto is… blushing!! I… I can't believe this!! She is blushing!! Wohoo!! Yes!! Eh? Wait. Zakuro, what's the matter with you?? You shouldn't think something like that!
Minto then hide her blush, says, "Uh, alright then. My bedroom is right beside you, so just call me if there's anything you want" told Minto, with a blush that appeared across her face.
"Thank you… I don't need everything now" said Zakuro, walking closer to Minto, then gives her a wink. Her blush is getting redder… I chuckled a little.
"See you, Minto" said Zakuro, then closed the door. I heard Minto grunt a reply, then she walked to her room.
Granite's notes: Yes, this is kinda the opening from this story. Hmm… Anyways, give me the idea how Schneider looked like I'll really respect it!! How it's looked like?? 11 pages, more than 2000 words!!
Oh, Minto's dad calls Minto as 'baby' mmm… I have no idea why…
PS: 'Ani-sama' means… real respected older brother. It's kinda correction, since I read some TMM fic and get a little pissed off since they wrote Minto calls Seiji as 'Onii-sama'. For Zakuro, I wrote 'Onee-sama', since she's Minto's 'respected older sister', not the 'real sister' (Ane-sama)… Imouto-chan means… 'younger sister', it has no matter whether it's the real sister or not… Kotori-chan means birdieOokami means wolf… Omiai, as you know, means… Engagement, if you still don't know. Anyways, it's me who wrote this, and I forced myself to write more than 2000 words. Hmm… R&R
