Ch 3

Tokyo a go, go

The next morning after breakfast the gang was on the train to downtown Tokyo. Jack was still a little concerned about what happened last night but didn't want to damper the mood, besides Miko seemed like she didn't really care about it.

"So where do you guys want to go to first?" asked Miko

"Harajuku" said Opal

"No, Ginza" said Sapphire

"How about the Tokyo tower." said Jack

"Or the Samurai Museum." said Raf

"How about we go to the museum first cause it's on the way then Harajuku and Ginza then lunch and after that the Tokyo tower. That way we all see everything that we want to see." said Miko

Everybody agreed to the plan and left the train station, little did they know that they were spotted by another girl with long pigtails a frilly skirt, a sailor shirt and bike boots with frosted pink lips. She wasn't alone two girls accompanied her wearing similar outfits.

"Well, well. What do we have here? Little miss Nakadai back from her trip to America and she's playing tour guide, This ought to be fun."

Her two companions snickered as they watch them go into the museum.

Inside the museum there were historical facts and items from the various feudal Era figure heads and some of the most powerful Samurai of Japan.

"This is so cool, I'm definitely gonna use some of this in the report." said Raf

"Report?" asked Miko

"You were probably distracted by what's been going on but we were assigned a group report on feudal Japan for world history." said Sapphire

"Scrap, I completely spaced on that one. I only know about the one for family studies, by the way did we ever pick a topic for that?" said Miko

"Uh no we didn't." said Raf

"And relax we got the other one covered." said Opal

"Well if it helps any my grandfather was a historian before he retired."

"Do you think we can see him?" asked Jack

"Totally, well after the funeral of course."

"Of course"

All five headed out of the museum and headed towards the subway to head to Harajuku and Ginza districts to go shopping. At lunch time they were at a in the Aikabara district near an arcade discussing what to do next.

"I never been more happy in my life." said Opal

"I know, I even have ideas for some new designs when we go back." said Sapphire

"So how do you guys like authentic Japanese food?" asked Miko

"It's really good, I never thought to have corn on a pizza" said Jack

"And the Unagi is not as fishy as I thought it would be. Here I thought I was allergic to all seafood." said Raf

"But I have an Epi-pen just in case you are." said Sapphire

Everyone was about to head out after finishing when they were approached by the three girls that were spying on them.

"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't the speed metal freak. You playing tour guide? Cause these can't be friends"

"And why not?" asked Jack

"Because, she's a no talent loser."

"What do you want Mei-ling?" asked Miko standing up which caused the girl to back up a little

"What, I can't catch up with an old schoolmate?"

"Yeah" chorused the two girls that were with her.

"And I see you brought the tweevil's with you, it's like a big fat nauseating reunion. My heart's all a fragging twitter."

"Fragging? Is that some American lingo?" said Mei-ling

On the side Sapphire leaned over to Opal and the boys.

"Ok this is getting annoying, I say we end this."

"Agreed"

All four of them stood up making the trio back up further

"You know what? Regardless of what you think of Miko, we like her." said Raf

"And you wouldn't know what a friend is even if it came up to you without laughing at the ridiculous make-up and horrible shoe choice for that outfit and said hi." said Opal

"And that's the sad part is that these two were never given a chance to say hi." said Miko as she walked past them paid for the bill and left

"Ouch" said Jack

Everyone picked up their stuff and left behind her leaving the trio in udder disbelief.

"Wow, who would of thought that Miko would have such a confident attitude." said one of the Tweevils

"Shut up Ting-ting" said Mei-ling

"Yeah shut it, Lame brain"

"You're the lame brain, Su"

"Both of you are lame brains now come on, this isn't over."

The trio left the restaurant following the trio as the headed to the Tokyo tower.

In the elevator of the tower heading up, Jack decided to ask about the girls that they met at the restaurant.

"So I take it you know them."

"Unfortunately, the sad part about it was Mei-ling and I used to be friends growing up."

"What happened?" asked Raf

"A misunderstanding. she asked me to talk to a boy that she liked for her but it turned out he wasn't interested in her, he liked me unfortunately for him I wasn't interested. It turned into a huge thing and she started spreading rumors around school that I was a boyfriend stealer and everything like that. Then she glommed on to Ting-Ting and Su, "the Tweevils" who are not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed."

"Now who does that remind you of?" asked Sapphire

"Ashley and her crew back home." responded Opal

"There's a group like that in every school in every country." said Raf

"And we haven't seen the last of her either."

"Oh really." said Sapphire

"Nope, she has a little habit of following the people she likes to pick at."

"You haven't kicked her aft yet did you?" asked Opal

"No, the schools here have a stiffer penalty for fighting and personally I rather face detention then get kicked out of school and that's just for first offence."

"Oh wow" said Jack

They arrived at the top of the tower and got off the elevator. The view of the entire city greeted them.

"Wow, this is way beyond cool" said Sapphire taking out her camera and snapping pictures.

"This will definitely make an awesome report." said Opal

"Wait till you meet my grandfather he has pictures of what Japan use to look like, during the Feudal era and during world wars 1 and 2."

While Miko was showing them the view Raf was secretly video taping her with his video camera.

When they got back on the ground they were heading to the Arcade to play for a while. Inside there was a lot of games some old school some new and a lot of DDR games. To the right was a small café with Karaoke stage with a person singing off key.

"This place has it all, DDR, Karaoke, racing, fighting and even games that you can win tickets for prizes."

"Too bad it doesn't have door prizes for dumbest outfit." said Mei-ling walking in with Ting-ting and Su

"Yeah cause you three would win first place." responded Miko

"Really? Thanks, like you're a really nice for saying that." said Su

"She meant that as an insult you morons." said Mei-ling

Why would she mean it as an insult, I mean you always want to come in first right." said Ting-ting

"You're right, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed" said Sapphire

"Whatever, you think that your so good huh, how about you and me have a little dance off, just like old times."

"Fine, I win you except the fact that Davis never dug you to begin with but I wasn't interested in him."

"And if I win you'll have to admit that you were jealous of my looks and wanted Davis for yourself."

"But I never wanted Davis."

"You can only lie for so long Nakadai. Let's go"

Both of them stepped up to the Machine and put money in.

"Pick the song Mei."

Mei-ling picked the song "I wanna to party (hot wings)"

"Pick the Level Miko"

Miko selected hard and made sure her doc martens were laced up so she wouldn't trip.

"Ready, Begin"

Party in the Ipanema, baby!

Miko and Mei-ling started dancing to the beat as the first stanza played. All the while Raf had his camera out recording the whole thing.

I want to party,

I want to samba,

I want to party,

I want to samba.

I want to party,

And live my life, (My life!)

I want to party (Party!)

And fly!

Imma fly, fly just like a bird

(But you are a bird! )

Oh yeah, you're right,

So let me fly just like a rocket, then. (Ok.)

Fly so high but I need to come down for oxygen,

'Cause once we start it, baby, ain't no, ain't no stoppin' then

'Cause I just want to live my life and party,

All I want is to be free, and work my body,

Ain't nowhere around the world that I want to live my life,

But in Rio,

Cause in Rio,

I realize:

I want to party, (Party!)

I want to samba, (Party!)

I want to party, (Party!)

And fly!

Mei-ling saw that Miko's score was not only matching but she was beating her so she started trying to trip her up and make her lose.

"I don't believe it she's cheating." shouted Opal

I'm that samba, samba

Master, master, master, master, master

Push out sound from my ghetto blaster, blaster, blaster, blaster, blaster,

You dance fast,

But I dance faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

You're too slow,

You need to catch up,

You can dance, and dance, but I...

Mei-ling twirls and tries to elbow Miko in the face but she dodges just in time and kept going.

"Hey you keep it clean." someone in the crowd shouted

"Doesn't matter the other girl is still beating her anyway." said another spectator

I want to party, (Party!)

I want to samba, (Party!)

I want to party, (Party!)

I want to samba, (Party!)

I want to party, (Party!)

And live my life, ( My life!)

I want to party, (Party!)

And fly!

(Instrumental Break)

(caws)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

(caws)

(Laya, Laya, laya, laya )

Hey

(Laya, Laya, laya, laya, laya, laya, laya, laya)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

(Blu caws)

(Repeat)

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Miko pirouettes through the vocals solo with the biggest smile on her face then finishes with the last few steps winning the round.

Everyone around them cheers and applauds as she and Mei-ling step down. Raf puts away the camera and walks up to them.

"You both were amazing."

"Yeah except the fact that Mei-ling tried elbowing Miko because she was loosing." said Jack

"It doesn't matter anyway, I won. So you have to admit that your jealousy is what ended a good friendship and realize that Davis was never interested in you in the first place." said Miko

"Whatever, you're still a looser. Come on girls"

"Yeah, later losers." said Ting-ting

"That's such a good one Ting-ting" said Su

"Yeah."

"Will you both shut up."

"Those three will never change. Come on lets play some more games before we head back."

Everyone looked at each other then at Miko a little worried

"Aren't you going to see your dad?"

"I know you guys are concerned but I'm just not ready to, I'll see him tomorrow at the service. Today is about us, no cons, no bots, just us."

Miko went upstairs to try out some of the ticket winning games leaving the others behind.

"Just give her sometime guys, excepting that her family has suffered such a loss within like two, maybe 3 years of another is hard and what she's been through probably just made her numb." said Sapphire

The others nodded and headed upstairs to join Miko. Later on they were on their way back to Miko's house with some souvenirs after a quick visit to a kitty café. A nice dinner waited for them as they came inside saying hi to Keiko and Lao but noticing Mrs. Nakadai was not present.

"Where's mom?"

"She has decided to distance herself until tomorrow, she wishes not to be hear until after the funeral." said Keiko

"Good, we can actually have a quiet dinner for once." said Miko

"Miko"

"I'm sorry but am I suppose to give a shit about a woman that never wanted me?"

Before she realized it tears was rolling down her face, not wanting to breakdown in front of the others she quickly gets up and runs out the room.

Everyone looked at one another but decided not to follow her. Keiko made a plate for Miko and took it to the kitchen to keep it warm for her while everyone else started eating. Outside Miko ran through the garden and out into the forest, letting her tears flow freely she ran harder not caring where she was going. Tripping on the stone walkway she fell and tumbled to a stop next to an building. Getting up she realized that somehow she ended up at the Kyagori shrine, she started walking but felt something liquid going down her leg. She looked down to see that both of her knees were scraped up and bloody.

"Terrific"

Miko limped over to a stone bench and sat down, it started to rain a little then harder. Miko curled up on the bench and laid there for awhile before she fell asleep. Back at the house Jack looked outside the window trying to see if he saw Miko but only saw her brother come back without her. He also heard the phone go off and was answered by Keiko. Raf was already asleep while Sapphire was out of the room and Opal was waiting with Jack. A few minutes later Sapphire came into the room with some good news.

"Miko's ok, she was found outside at the Kyagori shrine."

"Good so she went to see him after all." said Jack

"Not exactly, she was found sleeping on the bench near the bamboo forest."

"Well I guess will be seeing her tomorrow at the shrine then." said Opal

"Come on guys let's get some rest, it's gonna be a long day tomorrow." said Sapphire

Everyone settled into bed and turned of the light knowing that tomorrow is going to be an emotional roller coaster for all parties involved.
