Her employees stood in her office writing down everything Tangi is saying. Right along with her three daughters. Well, the youngest one wasn't paying attention. She's too busy playing a game from the App Store. So while everyone took orders Inari just stood there nodding just incase Tangi say something to her.
"We're going to need more designs. So everyone please get started and show me what you can create." Tangi said.
Everyone nods then leave the officer except for her three daughters.
"Inari, make copies of this and hand them out to everyone." She nod. "I also need you three to order more fabric. Get the best quality they have."
Laria sigh. "Okay, we got it already, damn Mom." Laria said getting pissed off.
"Calm down Laria." Lari said to her twin.
Inari laugh then shook her head. Tangi hit Laria on top of her head with a stack of papers.
"Don't interrupt." She told Laria. "Inari, after tomorrow I'm going to need you to-"
"I can't."
She stares at her. "You can't what?"
She pause the game then look up at her Mother.
"After tomorrow I'm starting my second year of College. So I won't be here. Well, I'll still work here. My work hours just needs to be change."
"You're going back to College? You said you hated your first year and you will never go back." Lari said.
"I decided to transfer to a new University."
"Oh happy fucking day. Now we have to do all your work until you're done with class. I don't accept this." Laria said.
"Well that's too bad. I'm going back to school. I need to change my career. So I'm taking Business courses so I can become like our order brother Laven."
"Business? Laven?" The Twins said.
"You want to major in stuck up Business like Laven? You already work here at a Fashion company. Forget business." Laria said.
"Actually I'm only an Assistant here. But this is what I want to do. After college I'm leaving Japan to go back to America. Laven already has a spot for me, where he works."
"Is this what you really want?" Tangi asked.
"Yes Mom."
The Twins sigh. "Shut it. Very well, let me see your schedule. And next time, tell me ahead of time."
"I hate Business. Just thinking about it makes me think of Math. Are you sure you want to do this?" Laria asked.
"I'm positive. Who's here in Japan that's going to make me change my mind?"
For some reason everything went quiet. People are cheering and he can see his friends, but he can't hear them. He looks up to hear them shouting his name, but the sound is muffled. When he shook his head the sound came back in. He rub his ear while wondering what just happened?
"Tezuka! Tezuka!"
"Hm?"
Kunimitsu looks around. He realized he zoned out for a minute and forgot that that he's playing a Tennis match. He looks at the score board. His opponent scored a point while he wasn't paying attention.
(How did he?)
Once they switch sides he got back in Tennis mode. He made sure his opponent wasn't even close to winning the game.
"Game! Tezuka Kunimitsu 6 games to 4."
After the game he wipes the sweat off his forehead then walk over to go see his friends.
"Great game Tezuka." Oishi said.
"That's was awesome. That guy was like, take this! And you was like, take that. Then you hit him with your Tezuka zone and that ended the game." Kikumaru said.
"Except when you zoned out for minute. What was that all about?" Inui asked.
Tezuka looks down at his racket. That never happen to him before.
"I don't know."
"Is it your arm again?" Oishi asked. He shook his head. "Maybe he was thinking of a strategy." Kawamura said.
"And you need food to think of more strategies. Lets go eat." Momo said. "Food is all you thinking about." Kaidoh said. "Not really Viper. Well, actually you're right." He laugh.
Before they could leave Tezuka manager calls him.
"Tezuka, I want to introduce you to someone."
Tezuka nod to him. "I'll be right there. Could you guys wait a little longer?"
Everyone nod to him. "We'll be right here." Fuji said.
After Tezuka talked to his manager and sponsors. They went to a restaurant call Grillin. Everyone talks while Tezuka sat there thinking. He won today but his mind wasn't on Tennis. He couldn't hear anything his friends was saying but their mouths are moving. Kikumaru said something to him but he wasn't listening. He taps him on the shoulder.
"Hey Tezuka." He looks up.
"Yes?" He looks down again.
"Come on, answer the question."
Tezuka stares at them, he wonders what was the conversation about?
"You wasn't listening were you Tezuka?" Oishi asked.
"Sorry, I wasn't."
"That's the second time you lost focus today." Inui said. "Is something bothering you?" Fuji asked.
"I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired." He sigh.
"Well you did play three matches today." Momo said. "If you are tried then you should go home and rest." Kawamura said.
Tezuka nods. "Not until he answers my question. Now, what's more worst. Sitting in between Atobe's fangirls or walking on hot stones?"
After being around his friends Tezuka went home. He sat on his couch then started thinking. What was wrong with him today? He thought maybe Kawamura is right. He just needs some sleep.
The next day my Inari and her sisters walk up the street to find a place to eat lunch.
"Will you hurry and pick a restaurant." Lari said.
"Yeah, I'm hungry I don't care where we go." Inari told her.
"Be quiet, I'm trying to find a good place to eat now."
Lari and Inari sigh.
"Any restaurant will do. I don't care, I just want to eat..." Inari pleaded desperately.
While walking she took out her phone and started playing a game.
From all the way up the street Oishi and his friends finish Tennis practice and now they're going to lunch.
"Come on you guys. I know this awesome place where we can eat at!"
Kikumaru ran down the street. When he starts speeding he notice three women walking on the same side as him. Laria see's him running down the sidewalk. Lari thought he was going to run into them. The Twins scream while shielding their eyes.
"Excuse me ladies." He jumps up, swung on the sign post then flips over them. He lands smoothly on his feet then stood up. He winks at them then start running again.
"Nice moves." Inari said.
"I can do that." Laria said.
They roll their eyes like yeah right. As women continue walking they see someone else running down the street.
"Excuse me...! I'm so sorry ladies, I apologize, excuse me. Eiji... Slow down!" Oishi chased after him.
"Nice hair cut." Lari said.
Then they heard two more guys running their way. It looked like they were racing.
"I'm not going to let you beat me Viper. I'll get there before you!" Momo shouted.
"That will never happen you damn idiot!" Kaidoh told him.
They step to the side to give them some room. Both of them speed past, leaving a gust of wind behind.
"Excuse us!" They shouted.
The twins cough. "Is there a marathon up the street?"
Her sisters shrug their shoulder's and continue to walk. Three more guys came running. Laria rolls her eyes.
"Not again..." Lari said.
"You're going to be in last place Tezuka. Excuse me." Fuji smile at them as he ran pass.
"I think they went down this way. S-Sorry, pardon me. Excuse me." Kawamura said.
"We have to hurry. Kaidoh and Momo might fight again if one of them loses. Excuse us ladies." Inui said.
All three of them ran down the street.
"What's wrong with these guys today?" Laria asked.
As they continue walking Inari spot a game she like sitting in the window display. She stop to look at the graphics of the video.
Up ahead Tezuka walks down the street at his own pace. He already ran laps today. Everyone left him behind but good thing he knew exactly where to meet his friends.
As he walk Laria and Lari tries to talk to him but Tezuka rolls his eyes and ignores them. When Inari was finished looking at the game. She notice that her sister didn't wait for her. She sigh then ran up the street to catch up. When she got tired too quickly she dug in her purse to look for the can soda.
As they walk Tezuka and Inari pass each other. He didn't glance at her and she don't care about him. As he walk Tezuka felt something. He didn't know what it is. This feeling is weird. It's something... He never felt before.
He stop then look behind him. Inari kept walking until she felt someone staring at her. She look around while wondering what the hell is going on? When she turn around her eyes lock with his. It's weird.
(Do I know her? I don't think I do. Is she a middle schooler? She's very short. Is this feeling coming from her?) Tezuka thought.
(Who is this tall guy? And why is he staring at me like that? I don't know him, do I? Nah...)
They just stood there wondering who is going to talk first. Before that could happen Inari smile at him. Tezuka eyes widen a bit. He wonder why did this girl smile at him? He thought she was going to flip him off but her smile took him by surprise. He thought quickly did he know her from Middle or High school? But he doesn't remember someone as short as her. Tezuka push his glasses up then looks away.
"Uh. Hi. Do we know each other?" She asked.
"Hey Twerp, let's go!" Her sisters shouted.
Inari turns around. "Sorry. I'll be right there!" When she turn back around, Tezuka was gone. She looks around but he was no where in sight.
"Where did he go?"
"Let's go Inari!"
"Okay!" She shrug her shoulder then ran to catch up with her siblings.
