"Happy birthday!" congratulated a group to a young woman of average height with icy blue eyes and dark black hair that was tied casually to the side with a black silk ribbon she was also dressed casually in a Chinese style black and gold dress the sleeves where detached the dress went to her knees and cut on both sides up to her mid-thighs and she wore white tights underneath that ended at her knees and wore ballet ribbon flats.
"Thanks" said the young woman as she was hugged by another girl with light brown hair she wore dark blue denim skinny jeans, blue and silver halter top and black heels (Sora) "Happy 17th Sai" said Sora as "Sai" aka Saiyuri was given a private casual birthday lunch that was held by her friends before the formal birthday that was to be held that night by her parents, her friends being...
Takenouchi Sora whose family ran Phoenix clothing brand and design with its multiple stores worldwide they were having a grand opening for a new store later on this week that when Sora was done with college would learn to take over to help Sora learn the business
Tachikawa Mimi whose family was famous for their fine dining and famous chain of 5 star restaurants all over the world especially its main restaurant in Tokyo that was run by the current head of the family Mimi's father who was both chief and president of the company.
Koushiro Izumi aka "Izzy" who's family ran and owned Koushiro Electric which was the largest computer and electronic company in Asia and soon to be America they always had the latest electronics available and its main store was under the management of Izzy once he was done with college
Kido Joe was a doctor in the making seeing as his family dealt with a lot of the medical industry they owned more hospitals in Asian than anyone else and they were still expanding
Nanami Michiko whose family dealt with the shipping industry and almost anything that had to do with the sea, from fishing all the way to cruise lines and the like.
Tai and Kari Kamiya who's family owned an oil refinery, gas stations and above all else dealt with and was the leading politicians in Japan's government
Matt and Takeru aka "Tk" Yamamoto who's family had everything to do with the media they had their own television station, recording studio and the like they had the most pull with media because they had power over its entertainers seeing as they owned Midnight talent Agency.
Then last but not least the birthday girl Hanabusa Saiyuri aka Sai who's family owned a chain of world famous and worldwide Hotels
"You're the last to turn 17" sniggered a brown haired melted chocolate eyed boy teasingly "oh can it Tai," replied Saiyuri who was the youngest of the group excluding Tk and Kari who of course was younger than her by two years.
"Just because you're an old man doesn't mean you should take it out on the young" finished Saiyuri who stuck her tongue out teasing him in reply seeing as Tai's birthday was in February while Saiyuri's was in December.
"Come on guys be nice it's your birthday Sai and that's the exact reason why you should be nice Tai" berated Sora to Tai as Tai rubbed the back of his head sheepishly "alright alright sorry Yu happy birthday" said Tai using his other name for her seeing as Sai and Tai had grown up together almost as long as he and Sora had.
Tai then handed her a gift as did her other friends. "I'm glad you all could make it home for my birthday guys" said Sai to everyone "hey don't we always get together for each other's birthdays even if we're in foreign countries?" replied Matt as he smiled
"Yea besides our families wanted to get together for your birthday anyway" said TK as Kari elbowed him.
"Way to make it sound like you wouldn't be here if it weren't for that" replied Kari as TK blushed "I" he began as everyone laughed.
"No worries you know Sai would never think that you didn't care for her" said Mimi as Sai hugged Mimi "Oh especially you Mimi I heard you had to cancel your hair and nail appointment and I know how much that means to you" said Sai as Mimi laughed "only for you guys would I do that"
"Normally we'd be able to go out to dinner all together the night before your birthday but sorry I got held up with a meeting my dad wanted me to go with him to" said Izzy
"Really you too?" asked Joe "I thought I was the only one who had to cancel my parents had me attend a family dinner to discuss some things" said Joe with a sigh as Sai pouted
"Actually before you all get into it you all bugged out," said Sai making them feel bad "but luckily I had something to do with my parents as well"
"We're really sorry Sai, but really what kind of weird coincidence is that we all ended up having to talk to our parents" said Michiko as the assumed they all had a 'talk' with their parents
"Well we'll just have to wait to find out" shrugged Matt as they went on to have their private celebration of Saiyuri's birthday
As unknown to them a similar gathering of their parents was happening as they talked….
That Night-
The girls were dressed elegantly within traditional kimonos Saiyuri's being a white kimono with red lining and lighting blue colored flower designs, Sora wore a yellow gold and bronze paper crane designed kimono, Mimi wore a dark purple with lavender purple plum blossom designed kimono, Michiko wore a black and blue colored butterfly kimono, and Kari a yellow and red bamboo kimono. The girls looked great as they fanned themselves as they talked in a private corner of the hall that held the festivities.
"So what did you and your family talk about?" asked Sai to the girls.
"Marriage" they replied in unison as they gasped "to who?" they replied again.
"So wait a minute" said Michi aka Michiko as she started "isn't it weird its Sai's birthday today and all our parents announced they wanted to talk to us last night when they know it's tradition to normally have our private celebration the night before by going out but they have us cancel and have a 'meeting' with us is anyone catching on?" asked Michi as Sai gasped "you don't think" "oh I think so" replied Michi
"Wait this could all be just a misunderstanding let's just wait and see let's enjoy tonight and see what this is all about tomorrow" suggested Sora as Mimi agreed "yea I mean what's the worst that can happen getting engaged to Joe and the others?" joked Mimi as the girls joined in and some had private thoughts upon that matter.
"Hey here you girls are?" called a voice as the girls turned to see it was Tai followed by the other boys
"Now don't you boys look nice in your formal ware" teased Sai to the boys as they laughed.
The boys then proceeded to hand the girls a glass of juice.
Izzy handed one to Mimi who smiled and thanked him
Joe handed his extra drink to Michiko with a smile
Tk gave his to Kari who thanked him and began to talk to him about some of their younger friends
And both Matt and Tai tried handed theirs to Sora leaving the birthday girl drink less as Sora took her drink from Matt and turned to Tai
"Uh Sai still needs a drink" she suggested feeling bad for both Tai and Sai, Tai because everyone knew that Tai liked Sora and all the girls knew that Sora liked Matt and bad for Sai because all the girls also knew that Sai had a crush on Tai and what was worse was she was aware of Tai's feelings for Sora leaving Sora in a bad position with her friends although Sai never treated Sora any differently for Tai's feeling towards her
"Oh yeah" said Tai handing his extra drink to Sai as they girls watched how Sai turned away completely and utterly hurt on her own birthday "no thanks I can get my own" said Sai walking away.
"Come on Yu don't be like that" said Tai walking after her feeling bad no one had offered her a drink on her birthday not even him who called himself her best friend, one of the oldest anyway "leave me alone Tai" she said as a handsome waiter stopped in front of Sai and offered her a drink "thank you" she said as she then proceeded to leave Tai abandoned with the unwanted extra drink as she was swarmed by well wishes and other men who complemented her on how she looked in her kimono.
Sighing Sora watched as Sai left Tai in the dust and was then swarmed with well wishers and other handsome men. He's so dense thought Sora as the other girls saw and thought along the same line before leaving to console their friend.
As Tai walked back to his friends he let a waiter take the extra now useless drink away "you're such an idiot Tai" said Izzy as soon as the girls left to find Sai "what why am I an idiot?" asked Tai as Izzy whom had found out about Sai's crush years ago dropped the subject. While the other boys just so happen to not hear Izzy and Tai's conversation as they were paying something else.
Tai was about to ask Izzy what was wrong with Sai since he seemed to know what was going on before getting interrupted by an announcement made by their host of the party the Hanabusa's.
"Now to congratulate the birthday girl" announced Mr. Hanabusa as the spotlight fell upon Saiyuri who was still surrounded by the girls, well wishers but mostly men whom wanted to pay Saiyuri complements "Saiyuri please if you'd join your mother and I up here" asked Mr. Hanabusa as Saiyuri complied.
"I'd like to first thank you all for coming and thank you for the wonderful gifts that you've given to my daughter tonight but most of all I'd like to announce the engagement of my daughter Hanabusa Saiyuri" said Mr. Hanabusa making the group eyes bulge "I'd like to announce her soon to be engagement which will be announced at another party held on the 24th ; Christmas eve so that we can give the newly engaged couple a few days to get use to the idea" Sai bit her lip.
When the party started up again Saiyuri pulled her parents aside and talked to them
"ookasan, otousan what is the meaning of this?" she asked "well we did talk to you about marriage last night" said Mr. Hanabusa as Saiyuri rolled her eyes "otousan!" she hissed in a whisper "Saiyuri it's for the best interest of you and the company" said her mother; Mrs. Hanabusa as Saiyuri sighed knowing the battle was lost when her mother spoke "at least tell me who it is ookasan" she pleaded as her mother grabbed her hand "tonight after the party" she promised as Saiyuri nodded knowing there was nothing else she could do to move that time up.
"I can't believe it, an arranged marriage" said Kari as the girls snuck out of the party later on; when all of the guest began to file out of Sai's home the girls snuck out to sit among the garden
"I can't believe they still do those kinds of things now days" said Mimi
Michiko sighed "I think that's what all our parents where hinting at"
"You can't be serious" said Sora as Sai gripped her fan tightly within her hands
"I heard about arranged marriages but I totally thought our parents where more up to date then those other families" said Mimi "It's to be expected we are at that age and look just last week Kuroki Sasami from our grade got engaged" said Sora as all the girls sighed
"Even the girls in my grade are starting" said Kari as the girls all looked at Kari in pity "at least we weren't as young as Kari here" said Sai as she hugged Kari in silent apology
"I hate this but who do you think these 'lucky' men are?" asked Michi as the girls thought
"Well I think his name is Antoine Ace" said Sai "I've seen him talk to my father quite a few times and he has paid attention and complimented me quite a few times at other parties"
The girls then became quite sad as the heard the balcony doors open to reveal the boys.
"Here you girls are" said Matt as he hugged Sai around the shoulders "don't worry Sai I'm sure whoever it is your engaged to it'll be someone who'll treat you right" smiling slightly Sai gave him a nod of her head
"Yu…" began Tai "its fine Tai" sighed Sai as she contemplated her current problem
"It seems we hit that age" said Tai as she nodded
"I thought my parents would have thought the whole arranged marriage thing was out dated" admitted Tai as the others nodded as Michiko cocked her eyebrow in confusion "wait a minute…" she began as Sai's parents and the other's parents walked out to greet their children.
"Sai come along" called her father as Sai stood to follow while the other parents called to their children and began to leave after giving the group time to say their quick good byes.
Saiyuri sat within her father's comfortable study across her father's desk as she waited for her parents to give her an answer
"Saiyuri" began her father as Sai could no longer take it and burst out "who is it?"
Her parents gave each other a look before her father sighed aloud
"Kamiya Tai" he answered simply
His answer stunned her making her go silent as her brain processed this information "we talked about it and you and your friends are all being told about it right now" "wait a minute WHAT?" shouted Sai
