Four Letter Words

I know. I have another story but I can't help it. This came to me in English class when I was doodling on my notebook. I hope you guys like it. It will be different from the story I usually write. Its happy! How refreshing.
Disclaimer: Are there really people who go around and look for fics without disclaimers? If there is then that's just really…creepy. 0o.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Excuse me?" She said, almost choking on the piece of chicken in her mouth. "You have got to be kidding me."
She couldn't believe it, how dare they? What makes them think they have the right to tell her how to live her life. It was sickening. It was the twenty first century and they still think that way….
"Young lady, this is not a joke. Don't you think it's about time for you to…" Her father began but never got to finish because Tsukushi was screaming at the top of her lungs.
"No! No! No! And for the last time, no! I can't believe you even brought it up." She yelled standing up from her position.
"Tsukushi Makino! Sit down, now!" Her father stood up. The house was booming with shouts and yells….and screams coming from both sides. Well, the screams were just from Tsukushi.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! No! No! No!" She screamed, covering her ears so she couldn't hear anymore of her father's speech about coming of age…and all the bogus that follows it. "Mom! Do you hear this?"
Her mother only sweat dropped and stood up from her position at the dinner table. She cleared her throat and walked away towards the living room.
"Mom!" Tsukushi screamed, running after her mom. Leaving her dad in the room by himself.
Takashi Makino let out a groan and followed his wife and daughter into the living room, shaking his head as he loosened his tie.
The duo found Chieko Makino in the living room, quietly sipping a cup of tea while sitting elegantly on the couch. She let out a small sigh when she saw the duo walk into the room, Tsukushi was rolling her eyes at her father while he shot her a glare.
"Mom, can you believe dad?" Tsukushi asked her mother directly, acting like her dad wasn't in the room.
"Chieko, don't you dare take her side. You're only spoiling her more." He said, sitting down opposite of his wife on the couch.
Tsukushi raised an eyebrow and turned to her dad, "I am so not spoiled."
"Oh really? Then why don't you talk to me directly and not cling on the your mother all the time." The older man questioned his stubborn daughter, slightly raising his voice.
"Ok, I'll talk to you but it would get us nowhere. You would yell and I would yell and then mom would walk out on us again. So I would rather have mom solve the problem." She said before turning back to her mom. "Mom, what do you think?"
This time, Chieko opened her mouth but then closed it again, instead, she sipped the remaining of her tea. Then, she silently placed it on the table as the father and daughter just stare at her patiently, waiting for her to say something.
"Dear, you father is right, don't you think you're about that age where you should-"
"No!" Tsukushi said, not letting her mom finish the sentence. "Why are you guys gaining up on me? I already said no. No more talk about this topic."
"Don't raise your voice at your mom." Takashi butted in, a vein popping on his forehead. Then the previous argument began once more.
She couldn't take it anymore, "Just listen to me!" Chieko said, raising her voice a few decibels.
The whole room went quiet. Both father and daughter were wide-eyed, Chieko never raised her voice.
"Good, now sit down both of you and lets talk about this." Chieko said, clasping her hands together and flashing the duo a bright smile.
And from there the conversation began…
If you could call it a conversation. It was more like an argument.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"
Who the hell do you think you are?" Tsukasa said, standing up from his previous position on the couch."Don't raise your voice at me, you damn brat." Tsubaki said, pulling on her brother's ears.
"Ow! Sis, let go." The younger boy yelled, in reply to his request, his sister only twisted his ear more until it got redder and redder and… redder.
"Listen to me." She said, pushing him back onto the antique couch, placing one of her feet on his chest. "It wasn't my idea, dad suggested it. Don't ask me, as far as I know, they want you to-"
"No!" Tsukasa stubbornly yelled, gasping as his sister pushed her feet into his chest.
"Shut up you disrespectful jerk! I'm not done." She yelled, hitting him on the head. He let out a few grumble of words as he rubbed his head and gasped for breath.
"You know, you ARE married. Shouldn't you be a little more….nice…and maybe caring?" He said still grubbing his head.
"You know what you little brat, you should be happy you still have a head to rub." That was the reply and then he could only sit there and listen to her rant on and on about….
"Are you listening to me?" She yelled, realizing he was looking at the fireplace.
He was pulled from his thoughts immediately, when he felt pain on his left cheek. Grabbing his now reddened cheek, he nodded. He couldn't believe that he, Tsukasa Doumyouji was afraid of his sister. Even as the years passed by, the fear was still there. Now, more than ever.
"Hey! Tsukasa! Listen up!" His sister said, this time not using violence but sitting down quietly next to him. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to."
The last sentence was almost a whisper which was hard to believe that it was coming from his sister. He shook his head and got up, "They really are lame. What makes them think they can interfere with my life when they were hardly ever there for me?"
With that he walked away, his car keys in his hand, leaving Tsubaki to watch his retreating back.
What really disgusted him most was that they didn't even bother to tell him themselves but had his sister do it. He let out a sigh and drove away.
He needed a lot of drinking to bring his mood up after that.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next morning….
"Can you believe it?" Tsukushi asked her best friend Yuki, as the other girl shook her head and smiled at how childish her friend was.
"It's not funny so stop smiling." Tsukushi screamed, hitting her friend on the head.
"Ow! But it is." Yuki was still laughing.
And just a few tables away from where the two girls sat, a group of boys were laughing heartily at something one of their friends has just said.
"Tsukasa, I can't believe it you're growing up." Another round of laughter as Tsukasa crossed his arms and pouted like a kid.
"Maybe not." Akira said and once again the three boys laughed at the now fuming Tsukasa.
"Trust me, I will never give in." Tsukasa said and threw some bills on the table as the four boys walked out of the posh restaurant.
And just a few tables away…
"Trust me, I will never give in." And with that the two girls too, threw some bills on the table on walked out of the restaurant.
So as the boys turned left, the girls headed towards the right. Neither laying eyes on each other.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"
What did she say?""No."
"Yours?"
"No."
"I think we are going to have to talk to the boy ourselves." The older man said, shaking his head. "Youth nowadays, so stubborn."
"That's absolutely right."
"Takashi?"
"Hmm?" Takashi Makino looked up at his friend.
"We have to get them to agree. Its for their good anyways." With that the two men clink their wine glasses together. "Its time to pull out the big guns."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So? What do you think? Bad? Good? Horrible? Please review.
