summary: Sequel to Miracles Happen. Akihiko and Misaki's twins are teenagers and are going to try new things. Chiyoko and Katsuro wanted to start dating other people, but there's one problem. Their Dad.
OoOoOo
Misaki finished cooking breakfast and started setting the table. He placed the dishes on the table and looked at the clock, counting backwards in his head.
He murmured, "Three... two... one..."
Slam!
Entered the room came a tired Akihiko and a pair of fighting twins. Akihiko lowly grumbled as he were followed by his twins, Katsuro and Chiyoko. Every day, the two fight over many things including him.
Chiyoko debated, "Dad has worked hard to finish his novel and I think it came out great! Even if it took him all night to finish!"
"Oh yeah. Maybe if he done this earlier then he wouldn't be this tired!" Katsuro debated back. "Why do you even read them? You're not old enough to read them!"
"I did because I like yaoi. It's so interesting to see guys crawling all over each other." Chiyoko defended, her eyes showing stars.
Katsuro cringed at this. "Chiyoko, you're kinda freaking me out right now."
Chiyoko responded, "Yeah, so what? At least I didn't freak out the first time I read a BL novel", running her finger through her platinum blond hair.
Chiyoko looks like her mother, only with her father's platinum blond hair that goes down to her waist. She has her mother's green eyes, heart shaped face, and a thin figure. Unlike her mother, she has slightly wider hips. She's wearing a green turlteneck shirt, black skirt, gray leggings, and a pair of black ballet flats. Katsuro, on the other hand, looks very much like his father except for his mother's brown hair. He has his father's lavender eyes, facial features, and stature. He is wearing beige pants, a light red button-down shirt, a pair of brown dress shoes, and a sweater-vest that has a teddy bear on the front.
Katsuro said," Hey, I was ten. I'm over it! I didn't know his books were about he and Mom doing the... thing. I'll have to admit, I was stupid enough to go through his book shelf without asking."
"Yeah, well at least it's not like the incident that happened when we were five." Chiyoko replied. "But he wrote his novels based off personal experience. It's like telling a story of how our parents meet and end up together. Not that any of that happened, but still. Not to mention-"
Katsuro cut in. "Ah lalalalala I don't want to hear it."
"I wasn't going to say perverted stuff. That's gross! Geez, you have a dirty mind." Chiyoko debated.
"I do not!"
"Yes you do!"
"Not"
"So!"
"So not!"
"Okay, you two, enough arguing! Just sit down and eat. You gotta leave for school in about an hour." Misaki chimed in.
Chiyoko and Katsuro both sighed and said in unison, "Fine."
The two sat down, giving each other glares. Once the family started eating, the twins started to go at it again. Katsuro started," I bet you couldn't find a date."
"Oh shut up, Katsuro!" Chiyoko snapped. "I bet you couldn't find a date either. I'll make sure I get one first. After all, I'm the oldest."
Misaki demanded," Chiyoko, that's enough! Now both of you, just eat!"
The twins didn't listen and continued argueing.
Chiyoko said," You're a pervert, just admit it!"
"I told you before, I'm not a pervert!" Katsuro replied. "I'm not like dad."
Chiyoko smirked. "Oh really? Then why do I see you checking out people when they're not looking? Or why does everyone call you the 'Mini-Akihiko?'"
"That's because I look like dad. That's why! No I don't check out people, I just observe them."
"Sure..."
"I didn't ask for your opinion."
"Who said you have to?"
Akihiko slammed his hands down on the table, yelling," THAT'S ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU ARE ALREADY RUINING A GOOD MORNING! I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU TWO CAN'T AGREE ON ONE THING. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE AGAINST EACH OTHER, THEN YOU TAKE IT OUTSIDE! ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD!"
Chiyoko and Katsuro were taken back by their father's outburst. Misaki is sitting there, looking shocked by this. This is the first time the twins ever saw him snap like that. Akihiko took in a deep breath and calmed down.
"I'll be my office." With that, he stood up from his chair and left the kitchen. Akihiko hated this part in the morning. When the twins fight, he would either listen to the whole thing or leave the room. Back when they were kids, Akihiko never had a problem with them fighting all the time. But when they became teenagers, the fighting gets worse. Akihiko keeps getting headaches everytime the two fight, and he had to go outside to stay away from all the noise. He feels bad for making Misaki handle the two. There are times when he would have to step in and stop it. He is well aware that taking care of teenagers is hard with their moodswings, dramatic problems, and of course... crushes. Akihiko rubbed his temples as he sat down in his office chair.
Misaki gathered all of the dishes, urging the twins," Hurry up, you two, Your friends are going to be here any minute now."
"Alright, Mom." Chiyoko responded, grabbing her bear backpack from the couch. Katsuro grabbed his also and swung it over his shoulder. Then they heard a lock being picked and entered the room came Aikawa.
Aikawa greeted," Morning Usamis."
"Hi Aunt Aikawa." Chiyoko greeted back, hugging her godmother.
Aikawa complimented," Look at you Chiyoko, pretty as usual... like your mother", glancing at Misaki.
Misaki cried," Aikawa, do you have to embarrass me everytime you visit?"
"Why not?" Then Aikawa glanced at Katsuro. "How are you, Katsuro?"
"Fine." Katsuro replied plainly.
Aikawa nodded and smiled. She asked Misaki," Do you know where Usami-san is? He was suppose to turn in his manuscript today."
Misaki answered, "He's in his office. Be careful when being around him, he's not in a very good mood 'cause of the constant bickering from the twins this morning", sternly looking at his children.
Chiyoko had on an innocent look while Katsuro had on a blank one. Then another knock was heard and this time, Chiyoko went to answer it. She opened the door to reveal her two bestest friends, Noriko and Taiki.
Noriko and Taiki were children of Hiroki and Nowaki. Their oldest daughter, Noriko, looks like the female version of Nowaki. She has his blueish-black hair, his blue eyes, his tallness, and his facial structure. She's been told by many people that she looks like her dad and acts like him too. Noriko wears a violet dress, black boots, and a black jacket. Taiki, on the other hand, is opposite of his older sister. He looks like Hiroki except for his blue eyes that he inherited from his dad. He has his mother's hair only shorter (like Shinobu's). He is a year younger than Noriko. He wears a blue sweater and beige pants.
Noriko greeted," Hey Chiyoko", hugging her best friend.
"Hey Noriko", Chiyko greeted back, hugging her.
Their brothers gagged at the sight of their sisters hugging and glanced at each other. Taiki scrunched up his face and turned away to hide the blush. Katsuro shook his head and narrowed his eyes at the boy. The two girl broke away from the hug and Noriko said," Are you ready to go? My dad's going to drop us off today."
"Sure, I'm ready." Chiyoko answered, adjusting the straps of her backpack. She looked over her shoulder at the two people behind her. "Bye Mom! Bye Aunt Aikawa!"
"Bye." They both said in unison.
The platinum blond called," Bye Dad!"
"Bye. Have a good day... and no fooling around with boys, okay?" Akihiko called back from his office.
Chiyoko chuckled. "I won't. Bye."
With that, she left the condo with her friends and brother.
OoOoOo
At school, Chiyoko is at her locker, gathering her books. When she closed it, she saw the face of her friend, Miyagi Kenichi. Kenichi is the son of Miyagi and Shinobu. He had blond hair like his mother's and dark blue eyes like his dad's. He wears formal clothes, which made Chiyoko urge him to start wearing clothes his style. But he has fine taste. He has his mom's facial structure and his dad's physique. He wears his hair in a way his dad wears it, only it's slightly longer.
Kenichi greeted," Hey Chiyoko", with a wink.
"Hey Keni~!" Chiyoko greeted back, calling him by his nickname. "How are you?"
"Fine. How about you?"
"Great. My dad just finished another novel last night."
"Let me guess, he waited til the last minute and pulled an all-nighter!"
"Yep, that's exactly what he did."
Kenichi leaned his head back against the locker, saying," So... did you hear about the dance? I hear it's three months away... just before the last day of school."
"Yeah, what about it?" Chiyoko asked, leaning against the locker on her side, flashing him her cute smile.
Kenichi felt his heart beat when he saw her smile, thinking,' She's so cute... okay, back to focus.'
He asked her," I was wondering... since the dance is three months away... and we don't have dates. I was wondering if you-"
"Hello Chiyoko", a voice called out.
Chiyoko turned her towards the voice and called back," Hey Haku", earning a kiss on the cheek from the boy with brown hair.
Kenichi looked at the boy with a jealous glare. Haku has brown hair, brown eyes, and a gorgeous face. He appears to be about 6 feet tall compared to Chiyoko, who is about 5'4 feet tall.
Haku turned to Kenichi. "Good morning."
Kenichi replied," Good morning", in a grumpy way.
Kenichi gave Chiyoko a kiss goodbye and told her," I'll be off to class. I'll see you later."
With that, he walked off. Chiyoko smiled as she watched the boy disappear into the crowd.
Kenichi asked," Chiyoko, you do realize that the boy is TOO old for you, do you?"
Chiyoko shrugged. "Keni, he's only 21."
"Your dad will kill you if he finds out!" Kenichi warned.
Chiyoko assured him, "No worries, he won't find out. What he doesn't know won't him. Besides, our age difference isn't as worse as your parents."
Kenichi flinched at the thought and replied," Yeah, 17 years. Unlike you, they're careful of who they go out with and know many things about each other. You don't know much of anything about Haku. He's a college student for heaven sakes!"
"So?" The green-eyed girl shrugged.
The blond boy explained, "So? You don't much of anything about him other than his age, his background, and his hobbies."
Chiyoko placed her hands on her friend's shoulders, saying, "Keni, you worry way too much. Don't worry, I'll be alright."
Kenichi shook his head at this. "Okay, but be careful. You have no idea what this guy could do to you."
"I will."
The bell rang and students started walking towards their classrooms.
Chiyoko said," I'll see you in 3rd period, Keni", walking off.
"Yeah, see you later." Kenichi replied.
OoOoOo
...last period...
Katsuro tapped with his pencil repeatingly on his desk, resting his head in his hand as he listened to his math teacher droning on and on about equations. He couldn't help but think about his sister dating a college student.
He thought,' What the hell is she thinking? Dating a college student? This is just wrong. Heck, he's older than her and he's 21. I should've told Dad and Mom about this, but I promised her that I won't. When is Chiyoko ever going to come out and say tell them?'
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw a folded piece of paper on his desk. He unfolded the note and read what it says.
'Meet me at the large gym tomorrow at 3:00.'
~Taiki
Katsuro looked up to find Noriko looking back at him, shrugging her shoulders. He sighed at this and threw the note in the garbage can. Then the bell rang and the students rushed out of the classroom. Katsuro gathered his things and left the classroom. Along the way, Noriko ran up to him and grabbed him by the shoulder.
She greeted, "Hey Katsuro. You already know that my brother wanted-"
"Yes, I know. He wants to meet me at the large gym. Yeah, I gte it", Katsuro cut her off.
Noriko looked at him oddly before she said," Actually I was about to ask you if your sister knew what she was doing since she's dating an older guy."
"Tell me about it. Chiyoko thinks she knows what she's doing but she doesn't." Katsuro replied. "I don't trust Haku. I bet that he's one of those guys who look innocent on the outside but a terrible person on the inside."
Noriko nodded. "I agree. My mom said if you don't know the person well, then you'll get hurt."
"He's right. If Chiyoko doesn't know the guy, she'll eventually get hurt from this."
The two headed outside where they saw kids chatting with their friends at tables, boys playing basketball, and girls gossiping. Katsuro listened to the girls giggles as he passes by them, despite the fact that he's Akihiko's son. Along the way, they ran into Taiki, who then joined up with them. They walked over to the gates, ignoring the giggles from girls. There, they saw a brown-haired boy kissing a silver-haired girl.
Katsuro grumbled in disgust," This guy makes me sick."
Noriko just stared at the couple in front of her while Taiki looks at them with a annoyed expression. The two pulled away and looked at the two standing before them. Chiyoko waved at them, greeting," Hi guys. Wow, the day went by very fast today."
"Yeah, that's because you were busy texting your boyfriend ALL day, and it's really annoying." Katsuro complained. "For once, I would like Noriko's mom to throw books at you to make you stop."
"Katsu, I don't think my mom has every reason to throw a book at her. She's not in his class, and he's a college professor." Noriko pointed out. "Besides, Taiki and I both know better not to make our mother angry. Trust me, we know."
Taiki nodded. "True. He's scary when he's pissed."
Chiyoko said," Anyway, Haku and I are going for a walk in the park. Katsu, can you tell mom and dad that I'm at the library."
Katsuro flinched at his nickname and replied," Sure, whatever."
"Great. See you guys later." Chiyoko walked off with Haku, who had his arm wrapped around her waist.
Katsuro glared daggers at the man's back, mumbling, "You better let go of my sister or else you're going to die."
Noriko patted him on the shoulder, saying," Katsu, it's okay. I'm sure she knows what she's doing... I hope."
Taiki asked," So what's the big deal? She's dating a guy."
Katsuro turned his gaze towards the small brunette boy, saying," Not just any guy, a collge guy! She's dating a college guy. The big deal is that Chiyoko is 16 and Haku is 21 so that's a five year gap! Plus, she hasn't told our parents about it yet and told me to keep it a secret. When my dad finds out about this, he is going to kill us."
"Why you?" Noriko asked.
"That's because my mom told me that if I ever caught my sister doing something bad, I will have to rat her out. If I don't, I'll be in more trouble." Katsuro explained.
Noriko responded with a 'oh.'
"Anyway, I got to go. I have homework." Katsuro stated, walking off.
Noriko waved. "I hope you feel better, Katsu."
Katsuro waved back without looking back at her. Taiki stared at him as the boy disappears. He couldn't help but think about the older boy. He's handsome with pretty lavender eyes, lucious brown hair, and a irresistable smile that makes girls faint. Taiki had feelings for the boy ever since they first met. It started out when Taiki was crying at a park.
/flashback... 10 years ago.../
Five year old Taiki sat down under a tree, crying his eyes due to having a cut on his knee. A shadow loomed over and Taiki looked up to find a boy who looks about a year older than him. Taiki blinked away the tears to get a good look at the boy. He has on a brown jacket with a white scarf. Underneath it is a white button-down shirt and black shorts.
The boy knelt down in front of him and asked," Why are you crying, little boy?"
Taiki wiped away his tears, and replied, "I fell... and...I... hurt... my... knee", through his sobbing.
"Let me see." Katsuro examined the wound on the little boy's knee. He stood up from his sitting positon, saying," I'll be right back."
He left the boy alone for a moment and then came back with a band aid. He peeled off the wrappers and placed the band aid on the boy's skinned knee.
He said," There, you're all better."
Taiki stopped crying and looked up at the boy to see that he has on a blank expression. He told the older boy, "Thank you. Who are you?"
Katsuro introduced himself, "Usami Katsuro. I believe we met before. Your name is Kusama Taiki, the younger brother of Noriko."
Taiki nodded. "She's better at everything than me. She thinks she is better than me."
"She doesn't think that."
"Yes, she does." Taiki bursts into tears again. "She can play the piano, read books, do martial arts, everything."
Katsuro couldn't help but feel bad for the boy. There's only one way for him to make the boy stop crying. Taiki immediately stopped crying when he felt something soft and warm on his forehead. That's when he realized that Katsuro is plaing a kiss upon his forehead.
Katsuro pulled away, saying," You stopped."
Taiki put on a confused expression and asked," What was that?"
"A kiss. That's what my dad did to make my mom stop crying, and I just wanted to try it out." Katsuro answered. Then he grab hold of Taiki's hand and dragged him off.
Taiki questioned," Where are we going?"
Katsuro didn't answer and continued dragging him alongside him. He stopped when he saw two girls playing in the sandbox. The two girls looked at them. One has silver hair while the other one has black hair.
Katsuro said," Noriko, I found your brother sitting under a tree."
The black-haired girl, Noriko, stood up and walked over towards the boys. Noriko scolded at her brother, "Taiki, what are you doing wondering off? Mommy specifically said you have to stay by my side at all times if we're going to play with Katsuro and Chiyoko."
Taiki pouted his lip in response and sat down next to Katsuro. He glanced over at the parents, who were sitting on the bench. He could tell that the dad looks very much like Katsuro, except for the silver hair. But the mom appears to look more like Katsuro's sister, only with brown hair and slim looking. Taiki figured that the parents must be Katsuro's just by looking at them. The mom looked at him and smiled. Taiki looked away and watched the children in front of him play.
/End of Flashback/
Taiki will forget the day he first met Katsuro. He understands that he's friends with his sister but he doesn't get why he never saw him. He thought about this throughly and figured that maybe it's because he was always in his room when Katsuro comes over. He often thinks about him and even dreams of him too.
Taiki thought, 'What's wrong with me? I know that Katsuro is never going to return my feelings... and then I'm going to end up like my mother. I knew it's a mistake to give him that note. Everytime I'm near him, my heart pounds and my cheeks turn red. What am I going to say when I meet him tomorrow at the large gym?'
OoOoOo
Here you are! The sequel! What do you think of it so far? Notice any traits the offsprings of Romantica, Egoist, and Terrorist show? Maybe? Maybe not? Next chapter, Akihiko finds out that his daughter is dating a college student. What is Chiyoko going to do when she finds out that her father sees her with an older guy?
