Tsudzuku
Part Two of Owari. If you haven't read it yet, then you should probably read it first to avoid spoilers. (Insert Doctor Who joke here.) Um. Trying to decide how dramatic this should be, if it gets too dramaish. Anyways, gonna introduce Hoshi's family as well, oh it's the nineties like 1996 or 1997. So, there will be a ton of 90s music and movie references. Forgive me and enjoy!
Prologue
The air was thick with the sound of kids screaming and simultaneously laughing as Hoshi sat on a brightly painted bench. She was bent over with her elbows on her knees and held a cold bottle of water in her hands. She was feeling nauseous today, so she decided that maybe going on the Matterhorn another time with the guys was probably not a good thing to do.
'Awwe, come on,' the voice in her head complained. 'This place is humanity's greatest architectural and scientific invention, and you're sitting it out because your tummy hurts?'
'Seiza, I don't think Yamano-kun would not appreciate me vomiting on him on his birthday.'
Seiza complained, 'you at least have to do the giant cups!'
'Later, with Kento.'
'Oooooooh,' Seiza cooed romantically. 'That's a lot of work just to steal a kiss?'
Hoshi felt her cheeks flush but she ignored the voice in here head as she sat up. The hot weather had brought out all the families and tourists. She knew it could rain at a drop of a hat though. It was late June, and it was strangely dry the entire month. It had been over a years since their battle with the red kingdom and her gaining an armor. She had also gotten used to the voice in her head, and how to drown her out. Seiza, being from the sometime a millennium earlier was fascinated by the whole modern part didn't bother Hoshi much, but she realized her distant ancestor had a twisted sense of humor. For a long time, she had thought it was funny to narrate Hoshi's life but, thankfully, grew tired of it. Now she tormented with her teasing her about her relationship with Kento. Which was tricky at best but was mostly just complicated.
She felt her stomach curl and ran for a garbage and she felt her lunch of cotton candy and corn dogs come up. She grabbed her bag and sifted through its content to find a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Hey, love, are you feeling okay?"
She looked up and saw a charming young man standing before her with chestnut colored hair and eyes as blue as the ocean. He was soaked with water from head to toe and soft smile covered his young pale face. She nodded, "yeah, I'm fine Cye."
He placed a hand to her forhead, "you're running a fever!"
"Food poisoning," she offered and he nodded.
"Yeah," he agreed, she was looking kind of green.
"Where are the others?"
"Getting a souvenir pic for Yuli," he laughed, "You should have been there. Kento is such a ham."
Hoshi smiled as she put her bag on her shoulder. She had dressed casually for the day, wearing bell bottom jeans and middrif with a knit sweater over it. "Sounds like my Big Faun."
Cye put an arm around her shoulder and started to walk her over to where the line to pick up the photo was. She smiled at him, he was so sweet, and he said, "that's the worse nick name."
"Why?"
"I don't need to know that much about him," he teased and she frowned.
"Hoshi," Kento beamed as they left the line. He was big and strong and she felt her cheeks instantly flush bright red. He had let his dark hair grow a little more, but his bright smiling indigo eyes and matching smile hadn't changed one bit. Cye let go of her and she ran to hug him, burying her face in his wet clothes. He put his strong arms around her and she felt so warm.
He kissed her lightly on the forehead, "feeling better?"
"Minus a lunch, yeah," she answered and he made a grossed out face.
"Hey, love birds, don't be scarring the kids," Rowen teased as he walked past them. He had a mischievous grin on his face, and his blue hair clung to his wet face.
Hoshi scowled at him and stuck out her tongue as she heard Yuli laugh. On either side of his was Ryo and Sage as he grinned brightly at the piece of paper he was holding. He came up to her and flipped it around so she could see it clearly. Yuli and and the dark haired Ryo had taken the front seat in the shuttle both had their hands in the air. However, it was what was behind them that made her laugh. In the second row it was Sage and Rowen, and in the third was kento and Cye. Kento was holding on to both Cye and Rowen for dear life, while Sage looked like a drowned rat and completely unimpressed.
Seiza pouted, 'look how fun that looks!'
Hoshi snorted, "Faun!"
He shrugged, "I had to hold onto someone!"
Cye rolled his eyes, "thank you for the compliment, but I'm not your girlfriend."
Rowen added on to that, "yeah, I don't flip that way."
Yuli interrupted, "let's go to tomorrowland!"
Hoshi felt her stomach flip, "I'll hang here while you guys go. My stomach won't handle another ride."
He frowned, "okay, Sensei."
"I'll stay here with you," Kento added, he looked worried.
"No, go have fun," Hoshi said with a soft smile and patted him on the shoulder. She could see Sage roll his eyes, and Ryo looking away awkwardly. Neither of them had warmed up to her too much and she always felt awkward around the whole group. It had been a while since she gotten together with all five them because of that but she did it for Yamano-kun's eighteenth birthday. "I'll hang around here a while, and later today we can go on the teacup ride."
He groaned, "teacup?"
She sighed, "just go on."
He smiled and started off with his friends. Hoshi sighed as she watched them disappear into the enormous crowd. Seiza accused, 'you're a party pooper.'
Hoshi rolled her eyes and started to slowly walk through Tokyo Disney. She felt light headed, but her nausea was gone. She felt her cell phone buzz and she reached into her pocket gingerly to pull it out. She frowned as she read the text message quickly:
The Hunt Begins.
