Chapter 2: Birthday shocks
- Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Taylor heard singing once she woke up the next morning. With all the excitement of the tournament, she had forgotten completely about her birthday. Walter was standing next to her with a tiny cake in his hands. On the top was big 17 written with red icing on what seemed to be a chocolate cake.
- Thanks dad! You can stop singing, or else the neighbor is gonna call the pet hospital believing that there's a dying animal in here- Taylor laughed.
-Hey! But who cares, blow out the candle, but before that make a wish.
Taylor closed her eyes and made a big wish. She then blew the candles and smiled at her dad.
- Dad, what time is it?
- Its time to get up! We have a plain to Japan for a big tournament, where my Taylor is gonna whoop their asses. Now up and at 'em sugarpie! We got a plane to catch!
Taylor had a luggage done a week ago. She was one of those girls that lived by the motto "better safe than sorry" yet her instinct always led her to "curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought it back" Taylor was very silent at times, she was not a bipolar person, it was just that she never had a reason to talk much. When she was on the streets she learned to keep her mouth shut when she saw things she shouldn't have.
The fight was shorter than she had expected. At every waking moment she was with her Dad. Walter had homeschooled Taylor ever since she was a little girl. He wasn't a teacher, but he paid a professional to teach her all she needed. Taylor was very smart in many diverse areas, though she preferred not to brag.
- We're here!- said Walter waking her up from a slumber. Taylor looked outside the plain window and saw the airport. Once out they went to a hotel room where they were supposed to stay while the tournament was being held.
- I think we need to tell the judges we're here, why don't you go set up and I will do all the paperwork?- asked Walter, Taylor just nodded. She went to her room to set up and on her way she got into what she thought was the prettiest elevator ever. She could see the entire hotel form there. She looked at the swimming pool, the tennis court, the restaurant and much more. Yet she staid in her normal position, since she didn't want to make a fool in front of everybody in the hotel.
- Takashi!!! Are you ready for the big tournament?- said Hunny in his usual bubbly voice.
- Yeah.
- Great!! I'm sure you are going to win the kendo championships and the Karate as well after all I trained you
- Why are you not competing?
- Because I got disqualified for over strength, but I don't mind! I mean I have to let others win too you know- Hunny winked. It was that over confidence that Mori sometimes envied. He was nervous though he never showed it he learned never to show his weakness in front of people.
- All right Takashi! It's time for school, the tournament is at four o' clock so we can practice later- Hunny got on top of his shoulders but noticed something wrong in Mori- What's wrong Takashi? Why are you so down?
- Nothing, just memories- Mori said in his usual serious voice yet this time it was nostalgic.
- Oh that's right! Today is the anniversary of Mako-chan- said Hunny in his serious voice.
- Yeah- Mori sighed.
- If ya want, we can go to see her grave after school before the competition. Maybe Mako-chan can give you good luck from heaven- smiled Hunny. Mori nodded and smiled lightly.
Makoto was only eight years old when the terrible accident happened. To Mori, Makoto seemed to be alive somewhere. Somehow……
Taylor had been training all morning, it was three thirty and she tried to rest for the big moment. She went for a shower and got out wearing a white dress that went all the way to her knees and made her look taller. Though she had a certain tomboyish look, Taylor seemed more feminine with her white dress. She decided to explore the hotel a bit before the tournament and hit the lobby. She was looking at everyone who seemed to be so distracted in their worlds. No one said hi to anyone.
She went to the pool and sat in the side. There she put her feet in the water and felt the coolness of the water get to her.
Suddenly she looked at the door and saw a handsome young man standing in the doorway. He was tall and had the deepest eyes Taylor had eve seen. He had short black hair and seemed to be wearing a uniform, a blue uniform. He was as shocked to see her there.
- Makoto?- he asked.
- No, I'm not who you think I am- Taylor got up and ran to the door. The stranger seemed to not move and only stare at her as she left. Taylor felt a shiver run through her entire spine. Who was he and why did she have the feeling that she had seen him before.
No it couldn't be. Makoto was dead. He saw her die, how the hell was she sitting next to the pool. Alive and well. Though some aspects were different, like her short hair and her tallness, she looked identical to Makoto. She was beautiful and had the green eyes that he so much missed. He remembered how deep they seemed whenever she would get mad. He remembered the pink lips, those cute little lips that he kissed when they were kids. He must have been delusional. Yes that was it, he was imagining things. She couldn't be Makoto……..could she?
