"Kiyomi! Which one is Ryuu? Is he the blonde boy or.." Ryoko tailed off when she saw her daughter's expression. "Mom, stay calm. None of these boys is Ryuu. I told you I'd point him out when I see him" she snapped back and tossed her long brown hair over her shoulder. " I know honey, but it's exciting. Your first boyfriend!" Ryoko said gleefully and pursed her lips when she saw Kiyomi's face again. "Come on! We're going to be late for Mr Ito" Kiyomi said and grabbed her mother's hand, and pulled her through the bustling crowds. Parent's evening. Who thought out this nightmare Ryoko thought and almost crashed into her daughter. "Kiyomi! What's going on" Ryoko demanded and peered around to see her daughter's expression. "There he is. Ryuu" Kiyomi and spun around, and quickly pulled out a lipgloss. Ryoko peered over her daughter's head to see which boy her daughter had spotted. A boy with thick black hair was sitting in front of Mr Ito, with his father sitting next to him. He saw Mr Ito lean forward to shake their hands, so Ryoko ducked and hissed in her daughter's ear. "He's getting up. Come on, I want to meet the reclusive Ryuu" she said and giggled, pulling her daughter towards the couple. "Go on" she said and pushed her daughter forward. She watched as Kiyomi took a deep breath in and tapped his shoulder. The boy turned and smiled when he saw Kiyomi, before quickly kissing her on the cheek. "Hey Kiyomi" he said and Ryoko saw her daughter turn a deep shade of crimson. "Uh....hi Ryuu" she muttered and Ryoko cleared her throat once. Ryuu turned and smiled at her. "Oh yeah, this is my mother, Ryoko" Kiyomi said and Ryuu leaned forward shake hand with Ryoko. "Its lovely to meet you Miss Takamachi" Ryuu said and smiled. At the sound of Ryoko's name, Ryuu's father looked up and stared into Ryoko's face, his handsome face searching hers. She blushed and looked straight at Ryuu's father, and was startled to see the old recognition in his deep green eyes. "Kousuke" she whispered and he smiled deeply, before gently pulling Ryoko for a kiss. His arm's circled around her body and pulled her tight to him, before lightly kissing her. "Ryoko" he said and stroked her face. "Its been too long".
