(*No.6 does not belong to me *my first story *comments appreciated)
It been almost a month into the school year; studies haven't been a issue for 15 year old Shion in his first year of high school.
In matter of fact he was doing 9th grade work in middle school. He is now attending The Distinguished High of No.6 also known as DHS. Although he and his mom must pay for him to go there -they scraped up enough for this year.
It's a sad cycle of needing the education to get a job to get money, but not having the money for the education.
Shion didn't like the fact that his mother was considering it...that is marriage or should I say re-marriage, and what put him more on the edge is the fact that he knows part of the reason is for the money not love.
He knew his mom was satisfied with her two boys and no not feeling that lonely, but he also knew she wasn't satified with the fact that her sons future would be ruined because of her lack of expenses.
But to Shions total regret and irritation he had no say in the engagement and the fact it came out of the blue only made him feel worse.
"Mom I'm home!" Shion announced walking home from school in his typical black uniform. He had to pick up his brother today for some reason; according to his mom she had a doctors appointment.
"Ma what's there to eat?" his little brother Ame asked with a watery mouth...he had quiet the appetite.
Shion's mom Karan smile and welcomed them back. "I made some sandwiches they're in the kitchen." she said while drying her hands on her sand colored apron.
Without saying Shion knew his mother was still very attractive, but also very humble in her appearance-that's why it confused him to see her lips lightly tinted with a peachy pink and her eyes outlined with supposedly washed off mascara.
Shion decided to ignore it and allowed his mom to kiss him on the crown of his forehead as he came inside.
"How was school you two?" Karan asked like the daily routine it became.
"Good, my teacher let us play kickball and I kicked it so high I walked to home base!" Ame said proudly.
"Oh I see well good for you honey." Karan replied with a amused smile.
"Everything went fine." Shion replied with a distracted tone.
"Good, now I want you two to get your homework done wash up and be downstairs when I call you."Karan instructed.
"Aww homework right now?" Ame complained "Yes, right now you can eat upstairs only if you clean up your mess." Karan said in hopes to get him on his studies.
"Yes! alright!" Ame said as he swiftly took his sandwiches up stairs with a grin. "You to Shion." Karan said with a strict look.
"I don't have any homework today."Shion simply stated. Karan looked at him a bit worried but shook the feeling off.
"Okay, then get washed up and afterward you can relax." Karan said with a smile knowing he was ahead in him classes. "Kay." Shion said as he started up the stairs-when he suddenly asked without turning around "What's the occasion?"
Karan turned around to look at him with a slightly guilty look "Nothing in particular why do you ask?" Shion then glanced at her with a soft look and quickly replied "Never mind." and jogged up the stairs.
Karan looked at the floor with a regretful stare...she turned around and looked at a recent family photo herself in the middle her hair tied up with her favorite blue sweater and some blur jeans.
Then Ame to her left his un-trimmed hair and sparking light brown eyes like Karan. It is very hard to believe that Ame was actually adopted.
Then on the left was Shion in a white dress shirt and tan sweater vest and beige pants with chocolatey brown hair and deep brown eyes. "I'm sorry Shion...Ame." Karan whispered to herself.
(*3 hours later)
"Ame! Shion! come down!" Karan yelled up the stairs. She had just finished getting ready herself and was setting the table...for 5. "Coming!" Ame shouted back racing down the stairs at the smell of dinner.
"I'm starved-whoa ma what's the with the five star meal?" Ame asked with happy curiosity.
"Yes, well we are having company over so I want you to go back up stairs and put on a pair of nice jeans and a clean collared shirt and hurry they will be here soon." Karan said as she laid out a few left dishes.
"Sure ma but who's coming?" Ame asked as he looked at his dolled up mom.
"You'll see when they get here now shoo." Karan quickly said "Okay okay I'm going." Ame replied trudging back up the stairs.
"Oh and tell Shion what I said." Karan instructed secretly embarrassed. "Kay!" Ame replied.
Ame swung open Shion's door "Mom says we have surprise company coming for dinner so dress-...never mind." Ame stated quickly till Shion stood in his view in a white dress shirt, a black sweater vest, a red tie, and pressed black jeans-even his hair was combed and still damp from the shower.
"I know." Shion said with a smile. "Wow bro lookin' sharp how did you know?" Ame asked. "The house was to clean." Shion said with a slight laugh.
"Now that I think about it your right!" Ame said combing his invisible beard. "Yes yes now you best get ready."
Shion suggested as the conversation lingered . "Ah! you're right!" Ame dashed into his room searching for any decent clothes. Shion then let out a sad sigh wondering who these people were and why they were coming as a surprise.
He checked himself in the mirror again his usually up beat demeanor was off since this morning but his disposition would depend on these people.
Ten minutes passed as he stared out the window thinking of reasons and possibilities , but his thoughts interrupted by the problem themselves as the door bell rang.
Shion then got up to check on Ame before he went down stairs-maybe it was just an escape from the reality that was about to come. Shion had felt shivers once he heard two male voices.
He began to comb Ame's hair faster and ushered his little brother out the door once his hair was good enough. Both brothers stopped before they reached the first step down the stairs.
"Hey bro...I don't exactly know why but I don't have a good feeling about this." Ame said honestly while pulling on his collar.
"Yeah you aren't the only one." they both sheepishly smiled at one another and took two steps down and then stopped again.
"So...I wonder who they are huh?" Ame said in a nervous whisper. "Y-yeah me too." Shion replied. They took four more steps down and stopped. "Dinner smells really good mom is a good cook huh?" Shion shyly stated. "Yeah s-she really is." Ame answered.
They took eight steps down standing on the last stair. "So...mom is probably waiting for us...we best hurry." Shion pointed out. "Yep..." Ame agreed.
"Okay on the count of three we will both go to the kitchen okay?" Shion made a deal. Ame nodded in agreement.
"Okay 1...2...2 1/2...2 3/4...3!" Shion whispered. They both dashed down the hallway and abruptly stopped before entering the room. They walked in and certainly they knew it was two males but definitely not this.
One looked his early forties with dark black hair, dark brown eyes, a expensive looking black suit, a white dress shirt, a black silk tie, and a name brand watch.
The one next to him was a young man near Shions age very attractive, well toned thin body, rather long hair for a boy tied in a messy yet cool bun, also dressed in a expensive looking navy blue suit, a white dress shirt, a blue white gray tie, and the most shocking true gray eyes.
Shion then bowed down respectfully and said an a apology "Excuse my brothers and I tardiness I was assisting him in preparation for the dinner."
Once he stood back upright the older man had a smile on his face "Of course do join us." the gentleman said in a repaid respectful manner.
Both boys took their seats cautiously next to each other, and Karan and the older gentleman sitting on the end with Shion facing the silver eyed stranger.
Once Shion sat down and looked up and forwards eye to eye with the mysterious boy he felt a shiver down his back. the silver eyed stranger only smirked spelling trouble for the future of our oblivious deep brown eyed airhead.
