Hey, just another story that popped up in my mind. Tell me how it is.
I have re-edited this chapter. Since ffn is being stupid and not letting me copy and paste, please let me know if you see any other mistakes.
They thought they had finally done it. They thought that they turned Sunako in to a real lady, and they did it before the deadline. They were so happy that they didn't realize that she was only playing the part. No one realized until after graduation.
After graduation Sunako disappeared. No one could find her. It didn't matter how many events she had been invited to, she never showed up. It had taken a toll on everyone that really knew her.
Her aunt missed her deeply, no matter how different they where and how little time they spent together.
Noi missed her only real girlfriend. A girl that didn't use her just to find cute guys.
The four guys missed the only girl that saw passed the pretty faces to got to know the real them.
They all really missed the girl that would do whatever it took to keep anything that she held dear safe. Mostly her dolls, but sometimes her friends.
While it was true that she was never found, they knew she was alive and well. How? They read all of her horror novels. Yes, Sunako Nakahara was famous for them. For the way she was able to take a smiple scary story and turn it into a crazy, freaky adventure that would leave the reader paranoid for days.
Kyohei found them to be "all right." Or so he says. Although, when he reads the new ones he can't put it down, and when there wasn't a new one, he reread the others.
Takenaga loved them.
Noi had Takenaga read them to her She just loved his voice for all the scary parts.
Yuki gets half way through the first chapter, gets scaried, and has Takenaga tell him the rest.
Ranmaru never really said anything about them. Not that he didn't want to share, but it usually invovled a girl and a bed, so the others didn't really ask.
Sunako's aunt never read the books. She didn't like the horror and was angry that Sunako never summited a picture for the About the Author page. All that was written there was a short list of some of her previous novels.
The point is that no one as seen her in seven years. Not since the day she pulled the disappearing act. This is when they need her the most.
"Now she's just being mean and…" Noi scrambled for a second word to descride the absent woman. "there isn't another word! That's how selfish she's being. Oh, there's another word. She's being mean and selfish. And uncaring! And stupid! And childish--"
"Noi, you really need to calm down." a girl with short brown hair and blue eyes in a light purple dress said kindly.
"Yeah, Noi, maybe she won't even show." another girl with the same dress said while looking at her nails.
"That's not helping, Sakuno!" the first girl exclaimed.
"Sorry," the second replied, rolling her eyes. "Hey, Noi, what's so special about this chick, anyway?"
Noi stopped and turned to face her two friends. "If it wasn't for this "special chick" then I wouldn't be getting married today." she growled at them.
Sakuno seemed confused."I always thought that it was because Takenaga purposed." she whispered to herself. Noi heard and rolled her eyes.
"If it was for Sunako then I wouldn't be with Takenaga." Noi sighed, pressing the tips of her fingers and rotating them.
"So, she's the girl that hooked you guys up?" Terra asked bluntly. "I thought that you just annoyed the hell out of Kyohei and that was how you met him."
"Something like that." Noi shook her head, "Look, it's just really important that she's here for my wedding, okay?"
The two girls nodded.
"Wwll, if you don't have her address then how did the invitation get to her?" Sakuno asked.
"We gave the letter to her editor in hopes that she'd past it on." Noi smiled at the memory of Takenaga, Ranmaru, and Sunako's aunt briding the woman to send it.
"Wow, you really went all out for her?" Sakuno thought aloud.
"Well, yeah." Noi said fondly. "She's really important; she would be the best present of the wedding."
Suddenly the door open and in walked the old Landlady.
"Is she here yet?" Noi ran up to her.
The older woman sadly shook her head, not knowing what else to say. She really hated seeing Noi like this. In all the years, her husband-to-be had become somewhat of a son to her, making Noi famliy, as well. It hurt to see the disappointment in her eyes.
"Say," the woman said, a slow smile appearing across her priceless face. "have I ever told you three about my wedding day?"
"Which one?"
"Wow, Takenaga's getting married. Never thought he'd actually go through with it." Ranmaru joked as he looked around the room. "The first, and probably only, of the four of us."
"Yeah, sad isn't," Yuki laughed, before noticing the groom. "Hey, you're getting married, why so down?"
"You just answered your own question, Yuki," Ranmaru pipped in.
"Noi's upset because Sunako's not here." Takenaga explained sadly. "And if Noi's not happy, then I'm not happy."
Finally putting in his own opinion, Kyohei said, "Sunako is being insensitive to those who care about her. She's not treating us fairly. We left her alone this whole time, the least she could do is come to your wedding."
Yuki sighed. "I don't think it's fair to call her 'insensitive.'"
"But Kyohei's right about one thing," Ranmaru stated, more serious now. "we left her. We got what we wanted; free rent, and that was that. Maybe that's how she sees it."
"No, she left us." Kyohei argued back, "We looked for her. We looked for in every scary place she would go. Places that made Yuki cry non-stop for days straight. He'd finally calm down and then there'd be a loud noise, and the water works would start again."
"Maybe not. Maybe she knows that we'd look in those places and went somewhere else." Ranmaru said. "She's dark, not dumb,"
"I never said she was dumb," the tough blond muttered. Kyohei could fight against this. He knew it was true. She had been sent to them to be turned into a lady. That mission started on day one. But could they help it if they had gotten emotionally attached to their project, even though the reward never left their minds?
"All I know is that Noi's sad on her wedding day," Takenaga said again, breaking up the agrument. "It wasn't supposed to be like this."
"We're all sad," Yuki quickly agreed. "We all miss Sunako, but at least we know she remembers us. She dedicates all of her books to us. At least, I think it's us. 'The Five Creatures of Light' it has to be us right?"
Kyohei let out a soft smile. "Yeah, Yuki, it's us."
"Did anyone else find her first book…familiar in a way." Ranmaru asked, suddenly.
Kyohei scoffed, "You mean the one where there's a lonely girl and five new kids come and take her under her their wing? Two end up dead? No, that was a completely new story to me."
Ranmaru rolled his crimson eyes. "Whatever,"
"I wonder what she's doing right now?" Yuki said, dreamily.
"Probably making fun of us for thinking she'll show," Kyohei answered matter of factly.
"Or showing up." Takenaga said, shock evident in his deep voice. His bright blue eyes were wide as they looked, unblinking, out the widow of the small wedding chaple.
"WHAT?" the three other boys exclaimed as they scrambled to the window.
There stood the answer to their dreams. A tall girl with black hair falling past her waist, with clips to help keep some of her long bangs out of her violet eyes. The black dress she wore didn't fit her curves, but wasn't baggy. The material fell around her feet elegantly.
'Go in. Don't go in. Go in. Don't go in. Ahhh, why is this so hard. I'm here to celebrate the wedding of friends, so why do I feel so...unwanted? They invited me. I wish I had one of those flowers where pick of the petals and the last one is what you do. Although the bright yellow does bother me. Maybe it could be a black rose...
Oh, new story. Let's see, Yumi is a new student at--'
Sunako's thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone calling out her name.
"Sunako! Up here, Sunako!"
Alarmed by someone actually calling her by her name, other than her editor, she looked up. Her eyes softed as they landed on the blond hair boy almost hanging from an open window, three others trying to keep him in, tears flowing from his sea green eyes.
'Yuki, how is it that you still cry every time you see me.' Sunako thought to herself. Working up the courage, she started up the steps.
The boys ran out of the room and ran down the hall where the all hugged Sunako at the same time, only this time nothing happened. Not that her nose could bleed while she tried to get air to her lungs.
"I missed you guys, too, I guess," she said, wincing. "but I still need air,"
Realizing what they were doing, they quickly let her go.
"You have to go to Noi's room; she's been stressing out, thinking that you wouldn't come. Oh, she'll be so happy that you're here..." Takenaga went on happily while dragging her to Noi's room.
Sunako put on the sweetest smile she had. "Really? I can't believe she would think I would miss her wedding." Inside she could help but laugh at the idea of two people binding themsevles together forever. It practicaly spelled out 'murder.'
Kyohei smiled secretly to himself 'You did good, Sunako, you did good.'
The wedding was a success. The bride was happy, which mad the groom happy, which made everyone happy, because if the bride and groom aren't happy, then no one is; it's their wedding, after all. Not to be forgotten, the cake was great.
Someone managed to sneak a couple of pictures of Sunako, who, in return, broke the camera. But she did let one picture get away.
Noi, Takenaga, Kyohei, herself, her aunt(who she was surprised to find still looking young.), Ranmaru, and Yuki all standing around the cake before it was eatten greedily by the other guests.
They made copies for all of them and sent one to her. She replied by giving them her address (Reluctantly, as she felt sorry for leaving them alone with her raving lunatic of a anut, and her partner in crime, her scary strong Father and Mom.) She did warn them to call before coming by, but when have Kyohei and Noi ever listened to anyone?
A few months later, the big news was revealed. Unsuprisingly, it was that Noi Oda was pregnate and not that Ranmaru had actually decided that it was time to settle down. The parents-to-be planned to name the baby after their best friend, since neither had embarrassing names. Sunako if they had a girl, Kyohei if they had a boy.
Even bigger news came after that. They were having twins (and Ranmaru was officically named lady killer of the year.). A boy and a girl.
Funny how life works out.
I hope that was better than my last one. I know it's long. Well, not that long. Just five pages. Please review.
