"Mizuki wait" they both yelled. But she didn't hear them and got on the plane and boarding was over with and the plane left leaving Sano and Kagurazaka to watch as in carried the woman they both loved away to America.
Sano watched as his best friend and the love of his life left. He didn't know what to do it was almost like he was dieing inside. And next to him was a man in the same agony. Kagurazaka had a million things running through his head like: If I had only been quicker, I still need to get to know her, this is my entire fault. If I hadn't kissed her she never would have run.
Both men went home in defeat. Kagurazaka and Sano both had to tell their friends where Mizuki had gone. And that she most likely wouldn't be coming back. They had a hard task ahead of them and both took it head on.
"Why did he Leave" Kyota asked sitting on what used to be Mizuki's bed. Kagurazaka looked up at him with sad eyes.
"Something about family" Kagurazaka said lie. He and Sano decided that best thing was to figure out a story to tell their friends that matched. They decided that she left for family reasons. Her brother had come to get her.
"Oh do you know if he is coming back" Kyota asked.
"No" Kagurazaka said bluntly. He didn't really want to talk about it and Kyota didn't seem to be getting the hint. Kagurazaka Finally got Kyota to leave him alone around 10:30 at night. He sat on his bed staring at the ceiling.
The next day was the longest of his life. He went through the day like a robot. Nothing he did seemed to go right. And he just didn't want to talk to anyone. He may have functioned better if he had some sleep but his room seemed so empty. That felling kemp him awake. He needed to do something he just couldn't function with out Mizuki
He just didn't know what to do. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks and he got up and ran to the airport. He was going to get Mizuki if she didn't want to come back he would figure something. Out
"Hello how may I help you sir" the lady at the desk said as Kagurazaka ran to the service desk.
"Yes when is the next flight to LA." Kagurazaka asked earnestly (A/N sorry I can't remember where in California Mizuki live. LA pops in my mind so that is where she lives)
"There is an American Airlines flight at 6 am there are still a few seats left" The Lady said. She pointed him where to go. And he was quickly on his way to buy a last minuet ticket to LA. He went back to the dorms to pack and find his Passport. After he was done the place looked like a war zone. He didn't sleep at all that night but he figured he could sleep on the plan. Or at least he hoped.
When the clock struck 4 he went to the school to tell the right people that he had an emergency and he had to go to America. He told them that his family was visiting America and they needed him there. They allowed him to leave. He arrived at the air port around 5:10 he barely made it in time to board. When plane lifted off he let an out a sigh of relief he had made it now all he had was a long flight ahead. But luckily he could feel sleep taking over. As he slipped in to sleep he thought he saw Sano on the plane as well but he couldn't tell the person who may or may not have been Sano was too far away and he was too tired to get up and look.
The plane ride went quickly as he slept most the way there. By the time he had woken up he had for gotten the Sano look a like. The Please buckle you seat belt light had just come on. As the plane landed and every one got off Kagurazaka stared to wander what he would say or do when he finds Mizuki. Then He rebreed he had no clue where she live so he sent her a text message saying she left something and he needed her address to send it to her. She gave it to him thanking him for sending it.
As he flagged down a Taxi. He thought he saw the Sano look alike now standing down the way also flagging down a Taxi. He gave the Driver his luggage and the address to Mizuki's house. It took about half an hour to get there they had just missed the morning rush. He paid the man and quickly got out taking his luggage and then going strait to the door. It as he knocked on the door he hoped to god that it wasn't Mizuki's brother who answered. His Prayer was answered as Mizuki opened the door.
"Kagurazaka what are you doing here" Mizuki said stunned
"I came to bring you back" Kagurazaka said.
"I can't Hibari knows and she just might tell"
"There has to be some way I just can't function without you."
"Mizuki who is it" Mizuki's mom asked coming up to the door.
"Mom this is Kagurazaka a friend from Japan" Mizuki said.
"Were you just going to let him stand out side" Mizuki's mother asked
"Oh no come in Kagurazaka" Mizuki said stepping aside to let him in. The house looked like a perfect blend of Japan and America. He didn't see Mizuki's Brother or dad around but some thing smelt good.
"Well it's almost dinner time would you like to join us" Mizuki's mother asked
"That would be nice" Kagurazaka said smiling. Mizuki's mother went back in to the kitchen leaving Mizuki and Kagurazaka alone. There was an awkward silence between them when the door bell rang. Mizuki ran to get the door. Kagurazaka prayed it wasn't Sano. And the he was just going crazy. Once again his prayers were answered. Only problem was it was Mizuki's brother Shizuki. It seemed he didn't live with them. As he walked by Kagurazaka he stared at him like he was a murder.
"Soo yeah umm how is Kyota" was all Mizuki could think of to say.
"He's fine, bugged me about you trying to figure out if I was lying about you leaving I told ever one it was a family emergency" Kagurazaka said.
"Thank you for covering for me" Mizuki said smiling she never thought of some story as to why she left.
"Mizuki when is that friend of yours supposed to come over" Mizuki's mother called from the kitchen. Kagurazaka stared to panic maybe he wasn't going crazy and it was Sano.
"He said he would be hearing around 6 he wanted to check in to his hotel first" Mizuki said walking to the Kitchen she motioned for Kagurazaka to follow.
"What friend is mom talking about" Shizuki asked.
"Sano has come to visit" Mizuki said. Finalizing Kagurazaka's worries He had a look of sheer terror on his face. Mizuki's bother on the other had seemed happy. If he had to choose between Sano and Kagurazaka he would rather have Sano with his sister. But that could be because he knows more about Sano. As if on cue the door bell rang again. Kagurazaka was now praying that Sano would get lost until after he wins Mizuki's heart. But he must have met god's quota because there was Sano standing in the door way when Shizuki answered the door.
"Hi Sano" Kagurazaka said as Sano entered the house. He was met with a stare of surprise, and anger. Sano had also been wandering if he was going crazy. He had also seen Kagurazaka but figured it was just him losing his mind and the lack of sleep. He never expected the Kagurazaka would be here of beat him to Mizuki. Mizuki's mother practically had to drag Shizuki out of the room. Leaving the three in another awkward silence. Finally Mizuki's father came home and it was time for dinner.
"So you boys have come to visit Mizuki from school in Japan" Mizuki's father asked suspiciously. He knew that class was still and it was odd that these two would visit her only two days after she left. Someone wasn't telling him something. And he was going to find out.
"Yes we were worried about her when she left so suddenly not telling any one" Sano said.
"So you came all the way to America to do what a phone call would have done" Mr. Ashiya said.
"Well we tend to over react" Kagurazaka said smiling.
"I can see that" Mizuki's father said looking over to his son with a look that said why you didn't bring her home sooner. There was another one of those awkward silences that seemed be common in this house. At least when since Kagurazaka and Sano have arrived. Finally Mizuki's mother broke the silence
"Where are you boys staying tonight" she asked
"I'm staying at the Hyatt my dad paid for it" Sano said. Kagurazaka on the other had didn't have a hotel.
"I haven't got a hotel yet I was going to get one soon thou" He said looking rather embarrassed apparently Sano had thought his trip threw a little more.
"Well if Mizuki and her father don't mind why don't you stay here to night and if your staying longer you can get a Hotel tomorrow" Mizuki's mother said. She was always so quick to trust. Mizuki felt that one of these days it was going to get her in to trouble.
"No that ok thank you for offering I'm sure I can find something it is my fault any way it was a last minuet decision" Kagurazaka said smiling. But Mizuki's mother was as Stubborn as Mizuki and in the end Kagurazaka was staying at the Ashiya house hold. Sano wasn't happy. He stayed as late as he could but in the end he had to go to his hotel room. Mizuki's mother showed Kagurazaka the guest bed room. And with that left him to think on his own. While he was lost in his thoughts about exactly how he felt about Mizuki there was a light knocking on his door.
"Come in" He called out getting up off the bed. Mizuki walked in slowly.
"I'm sorry about my mom" Mizuki said "but when she gets an idea in her head look out"
"I noticed" Kagurazaka said laughing. He like that she took after both parents so evenly. She was stubborn like her mother and she had a since of duty like her father.
"You didn't know Sano was here too did you" Mizuki asked.
"No and it looks like he planed his trip out better"
"Yeah but he is like that"
"Oh well I just at the last minuet decided I was going to bring you back home well back to school" Kagurazaka said laughing.
"I can't come back what if Hibari Exposes me it would be trouble for both of us you more for hiding be." Mizuki said sadly the last thing she wanted was to cause trouble for Kagurazaka.
"I can take it plus all she want is you to stay away from Sano right" Kagurazaka asked.
"Yes but if I can't be near Sano then what is left for me"
"What about me, Nakatsu and the rest of your friends in Japan"
"If I go back and I am exposed"
He knew she was right if Hibari exposed her or she was exposed some other way there would be hell to pay. But he just couldn't take being away from her. He knew he was being selfish but he didn't care. He needed her.
"What if you came back as Aya Ashiya" Kagurazaka asked. He knew it would be hard but she was able to get in to an all boys school on her own.
"That might work but I don't think Hibari is that dumb" Mizuki said.
"Who said you were going to st blossoms or that she had to know"
"It would get to her sooner or later" Mizuki said. He knew she was right. He was seriously thinking transferring to LA.
Kagurazaka noticed it was getting late and told her that he didn't want both Ashiya men trying to kill him in the morning. Both went to bed wondering how Mizuki could go back to Japan. The morning came too soon for the both of them. Kagurazaka found a hotel and left for it in the morning. But not before he got Mizuki to go to lunch with him.
The day went quickly and lunch was here before either knew it. Mizuki wore a dress. Kagurazaka was always surprised when Mizuki dressed as a girl. He liked it but had gotten used to her as a boy. They sat down to lunch to come up with a plan to where she could go back to Japan. Then it hit them what she came back as a girl at first in secret and called Hibari out on what they hoped was a bluff. If it was a bluff she could stay if it wasn't she would leave with only Kagurazaka and Mizuki knowing she was even in Japan? They decided to leave that night day quickly with out her parents knowing. She would leave a note telling them she decided to go back to school in Japan but may have to come back soon if the school wouldn't take her back. As the time for their plane arrived the both got more and more excited.
