Chapter 2: She remembered
The day after 'Oba-chan's terrifying surprise visit' as they would call it, Sunako had been in a daze. All her housemates noticed it, right after the moment Oba-chan left for Peru.
Flashback
"Sunako-chan…Hey! What did Oba-chan tell you?!" an eager Yuki asked. But Sunako was just staring into space.
"Sunako-chaaaannn!" Yuki sang out her name, hoping to get her attention.
No answer.
"Sunako-chan, are you alright?" Yuki asked, now worried.
Still no answer. Yuki called for Takenaga and the others already, and when Yuki came back, she was still in the position that he had left her.
"Sunako-chan. Earth to Sunako-chan" Takenaga playfully called Sunako as he waved his hand up and down in front of her face.
No reaction or answer.
Takenaga sighed and looked at her quizzically.
"Is she sick or something?" Yuki asked, worried. Takenaga, being the cautious person he is, checked for any symptoms. He shook his head. Kyohei passed by this unusual scenario and mingled.
"Hey what's wrong with her?" Kyohei asked his mouth full of potato chips.
"Sunako-chan is in lala-land" Ranmaru explained.
"Huh?"
"She's in her reverie" Takenaga commented.
"What?"
"In short, she is in a daze. A long time actually, she neither moves nor speaks to us" Yuki said, frowning at Sunako. Kyohei smirked and he was about to shout at Sunako to 'get her lazy ass move' but then Sunako suddenly moved with a simple 'Ah'.
"I'm going to make dinner" was all she said and left 4 curious and dazzling guys behind.
End of Flashback
It was your regular Sunday morning, as usual, the 4 guys woke up and went to the kitchen, to their surprise Sunako-chan was sitting in the dining table. She was in her non-chibi form and a cup of steaming coffee was in front of her. She clasped her hands together and placed them under her chin. Her brows furrowed and she had a dazed look, yet again.
"Ah…Good morning Sunako-chan" Takenaga greeted her in a low voice, careful not to disturb her.
"Good morning Sunako-chan" Yuki greeted, still sleepy. He was rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. (A/N: Ka-wa-ii!)
"Good morning, dear Sunako-chan!" Ranmaru greeted her energetically, as if something good happened to him last night. The others shivered, not even bothering what was the reason behind his happiness.
"Morning" Kyohei mumbled as he yawned. They were all sitting at the table by then, they noticed as well that the food was already served and prepared. Nevertheless, they didn't ask her the reasons why she was acting like that.
"No…That's not the one…" she muttered in a trance-like state as she picked up her mug and washed it in the sink. Takenaga and Kyohei (being the ones seated close to her) heard her and glanced at each other. After eating and taking a bath, Ranmaru left to Kami-knows-where. The others preferred to stay at home because of their own reasons. At the living room, Takenaga was sitting at the couch by him self, Yuki was sitting at the floor and Kyohei was occupying the whole other couch.
Suddenly, Sunako came out of her room. Kyohei choked on what he was eating, Yuki was too distracted to watch TV, and Takenaga peeked from his book. Why? Because they saw something surreal. Sunako wasn't wearing her usual black and I'm-moody-and-deadly clothes. She was wearing a large sleeveless dress which was dark blue, it had a small image of a cute dead bunny at one side and a red ribbon at the middle, and she was wearing a long-sleeved red and black striped shirt for the inside. She wore leggings (for the first time); it was just a simple black with black ruffles at the end. She just wore short socks (barely reaching the ankles), light pink and dark pink stripes. And her usually wild hair was done with 2 simple braids, lying at each side of her face leaving her bangs. She was wearing a bonnet as well, a panda shaped one (you know with panda ears and the panda face).
"Hey…Can I sit here?" she asked in a quiet voice, unable to move his eyes from her face he nodded absentmindedly. She sat next to him, keeping distance though. She sat cross-legged. Sunako, in her non-chibi form, pulled out her reading glasses and began to read "Twilight". Why Twilight? Because apparently, someone told her that it was a story about vampires and werewolves…So Sunako was interested.
While Sunako was reading, the bishounens were staring at her…Except for Yuki and Kyohei--they were gawking at her. To them she looked like a person who was dead, but was brought back to life. Sensing that all eyes were on her, Sunako glared at the three. In fact, she looked kind of sexy, with glasses and all.
"Didn't anyone tell you that staring is rude? Especially gawking at someone?" She said, her voice dripping with obvious sarcasm as she sent each of them her death glare--a sexy death glare.
"Sorry, we were just surprised on how the way you dressed" Takenaga answered her honestly.
"Yeah Sunako-chan, I'm sorry. But why are you dressed like that?" Yuki asked, tilting his head as he asked her.
"Well…Since I was so…preoccupied thinking about something…I have forgotten to do my laundry and I'm in the middle of some preparations as well" she answered him.
"Preparations for what?"
"You don't need to know" she said a little bit coldly. She returned back to her reading. Yuki cowered with fear and kept his mouth shut, he returned his attention to the show he was watching…Telly Tubbies or something. Kyohei was still staring at her, his mouth open then closing, he looked like a fish. Whoa. Sunako-chan is really…Different today. She actually bothered to show herself wearing those clothes. Plus, she talked to us without getting any nosebleed or fainting. Her being in a daze must be actually a good thing. Yeah, I wonder what clothes will she be wearing tonight--Oh my god! I'm not a pervert like that bastard! Damn it! Kyohei shook his head.
"You, apparently, the last time I checked, gawking at someone with their mouths open isn't healthy" Sunako smirked and instead of looking at Kyohei, she went back to her reading. Kyohei's mouth gaped open, then he closed it. He went a little bit red but he was furious at Sunako.
"YOU?! BEING GAWKED AT?! BY ME?!"
"You just repeated what I said, stupid Creature of Light" Sunako goaded him. Kyohei was fuming, while Takenaga and Yuki went back to what they were doing because they were stifling their laughter.
"Don't get all too big headed you weird 'thing'. Just because you wore different clothes doesn't mean we can accept you as a girl, much more or less a lady" he spoke in a menacing voice. Sunako abruptly stopped at the line she was reading in and looked at Kyohei, puzzled, furious, and a tinged bit of hurt.
"I never said I dressed like this to be admired or even be noticed! Damn it! What the hell is wrong with you?! You're the entire one who keeps on pushing me to be a 'lady' then you come out and scrutinize me like this! What the hell do you think I am?! Even though I look like this, even though I act like this…I! I still have emotions, and you're just a stupid ass who doesn't realize it!" Sunako exploded, threw the book at Kyohei and marched back her room. A long and heavy silence hung in the air.
Kyohei just stood there, too stunned to say or even realize anything. Takenaga gave Kyohei a disapproving look, Yuki pouted at Kyohei and kept on looking at Kyohei and Sunako's door alternately, and then to add more to the mess created Ranmaru burst through the door--crying dramatically.
--
"Guys! My little lamb! My precious little lamb she--"Ranmaru was crying theatrically that he was sparkling and was surrounded by light as he cried. He hastily stopped and was surprised by the scene that held before him--Kyohei standing in the middle, his face looking tense and regret, Takenaga sending Kyohei a dirty look, and Yuki pouting at Kyohei and looking at Sunako's door worriedly.
"Uh…Did I miss something?"
"Yeah, a lot" Yuki nodded.
"Care to explain what happened to Ranmaru, Kyohei?" Takenaga's voice was cold and had an edge to it. He looked like a father asking an explanation from the trouble caused by his son.
"She…was…crying" Kyohei trailed off, whispering, talking to himself. Yuki's eyes went wide as he heard Kyohei, Takenaga sighed and Ranmaru was in deep concern.
"Moh! Are you sure you made her cry?!"
"Wait…What exactly happened?"
"Well…Sunako-chan was wearing a…different outfit—"
"She was so ka-wa-ii!"
"Really? Too bad I wasn't here" Ranmaru purred. Kyohei lost being a serious man for a moment and hit Ranmaru's head with his clenched fist.
"OW! What did you do that for?!"
"Pervert!" Takenaga and Yuki said in unison.
"BASTARD!" Kyohei said with a big vein popping in his head.
"Back to the topic, as I was saying, she was wearing a different outfit, we all complimented her, she told us to stop gawking or staring at her, but Kyohei didn't listen, she teased him he was annoyed, but Kyohei crossed the border and said to her--"
"Don't get all too big headed you weird 'thing'. Just because you wore different clothes doesn't mean we can accept you as a girl, much more or less a lady" Yuki perfectly mimicked Kyohei's actions, voice, and how he looked when he said those lines. Takenaga and Ranmaru clapped for Yuki's flawless imitation.
"That was scary, you really looked like Kyohei" Takenaga commented.
"So…Since it was your fault, you should go and apologize to her personally" Ranmaru concluded. The 2 nodded in agreement.
"HEY! --"Kyohei began to protest but he was cut off when Ranmaru leaned in close to his face.
"My, my, dear Kyohei-kun…It seems my memory has been fogged…Who was it who made our dear little Sunako-chan cry?" Ranmaru stroked Kyohei's chin in a lethal and dangerous way. Kyohei gulped, he was breaking in cold sweat.
"He did" Takenaga and Yuki happily (?!) pointed at Kyohei. Ranmaru gave them a piercing look.
"Are you Kyohei-kun?"
The two shook their heads and shut up.
"Where were we? Ah, yes. And tell me Kyohei-kun, instead of encouraging her to be a lady, who discouraged her and told her that she will never be one?"
"Ah…Uh…" was all Kyohei ever managed to say. Ranmaru gracefully nodded and pushed Kyohei toward Sunako's door.
"We'll visit you in your funeral" Ranmaru bid him goodbye. A big vein popped on his head. Damn you guys… He mustered al his courage and was about to knock at the door when suddenly, her door opened. This surprised him, yet it only added to his problems. There she was, in front of him, she was in her chibi form. It was obvious that she changed her clothes into a sweatshirt and some jogging pants. They stared at each other for a few minutes and Sunako was tempted to nosebleed--thank god she used all her strength and her 'aura of darkness' to not too.
"Uh Sunako-chan…Listen…" Kyohei gave Sunako a remorseful look, hoping that was enough. Boy was he wrong; Sunako overlooked Kyohei, stridden past by him, and picked up her 'Twilight' book. She returned to her room quickly and slammed the door shut in front of Kyohei's face.
Too shocked to just comprehend what happened. Kyohei stood there, rubbing his nose.
"DAMN YOU NAKAHARA! I WAS GOING HERE TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU SINCERELY! AND BECAUSE RANMARU HERE IS CHEWING MY ASS OFF SO I CAN DO THAT TO YOU! BUT YOU JUST WALK BY ME AND IGNORE ME! YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'M NOT SORRY AT ALL! AND THAT GUY WAS RIGHT! YOU WERE UGLY! HERE ME?! UGLY!" Kyohei then snorted and turned his back, walking and looking triumphant.
"Kyohei…What did you just do?" Yuki said, looking crestfallen. Kyohei, being a dumb ass that he is, didn't get why Yuki looked like that and just shrugged. Suddenly, he felt pain.
"You asshole, you just made things worse" Ranmaru blamed him, as he shook his head while clutching the rolled up newspaper.
"Kyohei, you made our problems worse. Think about the consequences we would be facing. It's you and that damn temper of yours. You started this problem, now you should go and fix this" the usual calm and collected Takenaga said as he walked away from the group. They were all shocked about Takenaga's actions--and he was right. Ranmaru just shrugged and started to walk away too.
Yuki, being the kind guy that he is, stayed with Kyohei for a moment longer.
"Hey Kyohei…Just apologize to Sunako-chan, then everything will be alright, okay?"
Kyohei just stood there, nodding numbly.

It was a blue Monday. Classes were cancelled due to a very strong storm. Sunako was of course, very giddy and happy. The clouds were gray, the sky was dark, rain was pouring everywhere, and once in a while, there was thunder and lightning. Sunako kept herself locked up in her room the whole day.
Kyaa what an exhilarating day today is! Io classes! So I don't have to see those Creatures of light…I can spend the whole day today watching gory movies with Hiroshi-kun and Josephine! Akira also! Hmm…I wonder if the cookies I was baking are done. Sunako stood up and went to the kitchen, skipping and humming a tune (in her giddy chibi form). What she saw a very disturbing scene.
Kyohei was fighting Takenaga and Ranmaru, with at least 5 pieces of cookies inside his mouth, Ranmaru had some crumbs in his face reaching for the tray, Takenaga had a piece in his mouth and was preventing Kyohei to finish all the cookies, and Yuki was crying, trying to stop them all from the madness. Of course, they did stop when they saw Sunako standing there.
"Uh…Sunako-chan…" Takenaga acknowledged her presence. It all happened quickly, knives and forks were flying towards them and they all ducked and dodged. Kyohei let go of the tray and Sunako caught it gracefully. They were all crying for their lives. Suddenly, Takenaga and Ranmaru were on her feet, begging for forgiveness.
Sunako was holding the tray protectively and god was she scary--in her chibi form she had fangs and neko ears and tail.
"Sunako-chan! Waaaah! We're so sorry! I'm sorry! I couldn't stop them…-sniff-…We all smelled the delicious aroma and like the vampires who…-sniff-….smelled blood we couldn't stop ourselves…-sob- -sob- Sorry Sunako-chan! Please forgive us!" Yuki (C.F.) (1) wiped his tears with the sleeve of his arm.
"Vampires? Hmmm…It could be him…" Sunako muttered. She smiled at Yuki (C.F.), gave him a cookie and patted his head softly. Sunako then returned to her room.
Vampires huh…Like that Edward guy…He reminds me of someone…Yeah, and Auntie really really hated him and his brother…But I couldn't remember who…Damn…But I remember what he looked like… Just then, her door slammed open, revealing the 4 Creatures of Light, they were holding popcorns, blankets, and pillows.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?!"
"We're going to watch with you, we figured out its fun and its boring outside. It fits, it's raining outside and you're watching a scary and gory movie"
"We're coming in, Sunako-chan!" Takenaga, Ranmaru, and Yuki (who was crying) came in politely. Sunako just shrugged, and they were a little bit shocked. Usually, Sunako would complain and kick them out of their room. But they didn't know Sunako had other things to think about.
While they were watching, Sunako wasn't really paying attention to the movie they were watching. Kyohei was the only one who noticed that. Takenaga was asleep, Ranmaru left because he had other things to take care of, and Yuki was totally absorbed in watching the movie.
"Hey…What's wrong?" Kyohei called to her softly. Sunako was taken by surprise, she shook her head and pretended to watch the movie.
"Look…I'm sorry about those things I've said…It's just my temper…You know? So…I'm sorry…" Kyohei gave her an apologetic look and Sunako looked at him passively.
"Yeah, you do or say things without thinking stupidly because of your temper. I'm pretty used to it"
"Then…Why were you crying--"
"I wasn't crying. I got mad at you because you weren't like your usual self yesterday. Plus, it's about that stupid book"
"What about it?"
"It was about romance" Kyohei smirked. Good thing everything was back to normal already. Sunako's eyes suddenly widen as her thought clinkered the right names.
"Edmund Thomas…William James…"
To her surprise, after all that thinking, she remembered.
Poshpuppy27: I'm done! Oh and thanks to those who reviewed and added my story to 'Story Alert' and their favorites. I'm flattered. Then again, I wish that if you read my story you can review it by just saying "Hey, I read your story" or "Hi" or something along those lines. It's not that hard. I'm changing the plot of the story. There will be some supernatural things that would be included. Currently listening to 'Kibou Yell' of NeWs. Don't worry, our sembreak is near, so I will update all my fics (hopefully).
Oh yeah… (C.F.) means Chibi Form while (S.F.) means Serious Form.
Ja ne
