Cherry Blossom Dream
Chapter one… a talk
Under the starry sky, a young man laid on his back gazing at it. His chocolate brown eyes stared up at the twinkling diamonds in the sky. He was dressed in a white t shirt and a black jacket paired with denim pants.
He was up a hill near the Hinata Inn. He laid there relaxed, the quite nights only whisper was soft cold winds that blew through the area. He used his arms as pillows, crossed under his head. His small framed glasses hung loosely from his mellow face.
Behind him a figure appeared, it walked slowly towards him. The figure was hidden in the darkness until the moon appeared from behind the clouds and doused the figure with soft moonlight.
The figure was revealed to be a beautiful woman. She had long black hair and a calm and confident look on her face. Her pale porcelain skin lit by the moonlight gave her a mysterious and alluring look. Dressed in a fine black dressed that actuated her goddess like body, she moved closer to the young man who was busy doing nothing.
Gracefully she kneeled down beside the man and looked up at the Sky he was staring at. She wore a soft smile on her red lips. She shifted her gaze from the twinkling diamonds to the peaceful face of the young man that made her smile even more radiant.
"Keitaro-san" She spoke softly surprising the Keitaro from his star gazing.
Even though anyone would have noticed someone had moved close to them, Keitaro was far too much enjoying the peace and quite. So when he heard the woman call his name he was surprised and faced her abruptly.
"WAH!" Keitaro yipped. She looked at the woman and recognized her and so calmed down.
"Tsuruko, don't do that I though you were a ghost, surprising me like that." Keitaro said placing his hand on his chest.
Tsuruko only giggled behind her hand and looked at the young man. She then stopped her giggling and looked at Keitaro with a small smile.
"What are you doing here alone Keitaro-san you should be with the others down there having a good time." Tsuruko said pointing down at the inn where lights were flashing and faint music blaring indicating a party going on.
Keitaro only flopped back down on the grassy earth and closed his eyes then sighed.
"I don't belong down there. I'm a nobody you know." Keitaro said nonchalantly.
Tsuruko frowned on the statement and looked at the young man disapprovingly.
"Don't say that about yourself. How could you say such a thing about yourself?" Tsuruko said disapproving about his reply.
"Oh come on Tsuruko-san, just who exactly am I? I'm a nobody just some average guy that runs an old inn where in dumb luck famous persons happens to be staying at." Keitaro replied.
"But Keitaro-san," Tsuruko was about to say something else but Keitaro cut her off.
"Tsuruko-san, you know I don't belong there with them, Motoko-san your sister is a famous Kendoka. Her friends are famous as her. Like Naru-san the pop star and genius student of Tokyo-U. Mutsumi-san the a young doctor, Kitsune-san the renowned model, Shinobu-chan the child prodigy in culinary arts, and of course Kaolla-chan the genius princess of the kingdom of Molmol. What face am I supposed to show there where famous high class people are present; I can't say I'm a Tokyo-U flunky and manager of a beat up Inn. " Keitaro said finishing off his rant.
Tsuruko felt sad hearing this. Her little sister had become quite a better person after staying at Hinata- sou and she believed that Keitaro was a big reason why her little sister had changed. Motoko had become more confident and is more expressive of her emotions more than ever.
Keitaro was happy to be with them before, until he discovered who they really were and he was being fooled all along. He wasn't mad at them for lying to him about their identity, he understood that their high profile would cause a ruckus and they wanted to have some peace and quite.
That's their reason for going to the Hinata inn. When they met him and he didn't know about them, they knew that they would be able to live peacefully, even just for a short time.
"I'm not mad at them… I'm mad at myself for getting too close to them. I don't know how to act around them anymore. Knowing that their all famous and everybody know s about them. I don't like people to think badly of them when they see a nobody like me tagging along." Keitaro said sadly.
"But Keitaro-san, they don't care about that. The girls want to be with you no matter who you are." Tsuruko said.
"I also want to be with them but I think its better not to be involved too much. It's just too much of a hassle, and with all the crazy paparazzo's lurking around it's not safe for their image. So let me just lay here peacefully until the party down there is over. You should get back there; you are also one of those famous people being honored at the party." Keitaro said with a smile.
"Miss Aoyama Tsuruko…" Keitaro stood and dusted his pants, the night breeze blew and Tsuruko shivered a bit from the cold. "Maybe you could give me a free ticket when one of your movies comes out, Ne" Keitaro said smiling a bit. He then pulled off his jacket and covered Tsuruko with it. "You might get sick if you stay out here in the cold." Then, Keitaro had started to walk towards the abandoned annex of the Hinata-Inn compound.
He walked casually in the direction of the rundown building with his hands in his pockets. Tsuruko stood up and looked at him walk away.
"Keitaro-san" She called out a bit miffed about him walking off like that. "Come back here." She yelled loudly. Their conversation wasn't over yet and she still needed to tell him much more.
Keitaro ignored her shout and only waved his hand at her and said "Get back to the Inn its cold outside." And he walked into the annex and closed the door. The old building looked liked it was going to collapse from the slightest breeze because of all the rotten wood and cob-webs.
Tsuruko was left there alone with Keitaro's jacket his scent present in it. Another breeze blew making her dress and the arms of the jacket sway.
Even with the jacket Tsuruko still felt cold.
