Decision
'God, tell me that this is only a dream… when I look to my left and to my right also to the back and not to mention to front… I could see one thing. I could see a rectangle shapes with different size and above it is a huge cross. It gives me the creeps, god I hate to be here. Why did I insist to come here with her?'
"Uhhh… so kari who is that 'him' are you going to meet?" Tk asked but Kari didn't answer so he continued "and geez Kari both of you don't have a taste at all, you agreed to meet that him of yours in a cemetery!" he said trying to piss her off.
"That 'him' is my brother" she said unemotionally
"Tai?" a puzzled Tk asked
"No, my other brother" she stopped and Tk, unconsciously bumped to her back and his nose to her head, because he was not focusing at were he was going.
"Awww, why did you stop? That hurt you know?" he complained while rubbing his nose. 'She slowly turned to my direction the wind blew her hazel short hair, and god I noticed that a beat skipped somewhere in my body. And know what I felt that time? I felt that someone took my breath away from me. I don't know why but it happened, it only happens when I'm with…'
"Tk… Tk" she called me "earth to Tk" she wagged he hand in front of my face.
When I noticed that she was calling me, I quickly shook my thoughts off. "Oh, what's up?"
She raised an eyebrow then pout "huh! I was right! You were not listening!"
"I'm so sorry I was just in the middle of something, sorry"
She pretends to think "hmmm, wait let me think… ok forgiven!"
Sweat dropped. I sighed. Sometimes she is like an eight year old girl and then sometimes she's like an old woman. But I like her that way.
"So, what are you saying a moment ago?"
Her happy face turned to a sad face like the face she has a while ago when she was running away from me.
"Well, I will visit my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Yes, his name is Hikaru. He died at this date. July 15 but at the year 2003. He was born on May 16 1993. He died at a young age"
I noticed that she was emotionless.
"And he … he…died because of me. Because he wants to protect me." She said still fighting her tears.
FLASHBACK
"HIKARU NO! DON'T! Come here they get you" the younger Kari Yagami shouted
"Sorry sis, but I love you and I wouldn't let any thing happen to you. And besides I'm the only one that can protect you because oniichan and otosan weren't here."
"but-" Kari tried to argue but he stopped her
"GO! Ill try to stop them and don't worry sis, I'm a martial artist I'm even the best of my class"
"I don't care, please…"
"I'm sorry. Okasan take her out. Please"
---- After less than 3 hours ----
A teary eyed Taichi was standing at one of the rooms of the funeral. And there at the top of two 'beds' were laying 2 dead bodies. And one of those bodies is the body of his beloved brother. His younger brother. His eyes couldn't believe it. But it was not a fantasy it's not a dream its real, his brother is dead.
END FLASHBACK
"I love him" she said still with no emotion. "He is so stupid. He died because of me… and now I'm being selfish, I don't deserve to be happy, I don't deserve it!" she shouted
Tk sighed and then took a deep breath. "He sure is stupid…"
She glared daggers at him "what do you mean by that?" she asked with a harsh tone and also annoyed.
Sweat dropped. "Hey don't look at me. You are the one who said stupid at him" he swallowed hard. "Sorry. But I think he is wrong about giving his life up just because of you."
"If I was him, I will never give my life up" he took a step forward and using his fingers, he brushed the dirt on her face. "By the way, I want you to cry." He said coolly.
She took a step back and asked "you- you want me to cry? God, Mr. Takaishi you don't know how hard not to cry. Ever since my brother died, no one sees me cry!" she informed him.
He sighed again. "Ever since your brother died? No one saw you cry?" he grabbed her wrist and pulled her near him causing her face near his. "that's possible, because you don't cry in front of people. You don't want people to know about your weakness. You don't want people to judge you! Kari you pretend to be someone else! Kari you are not perfect, you are just a normal girl but have an abnormal life."
There was silence.
"I want you to cry because I know it's hard to keep that inside" he smiled "and besides I also want to see the real you. I was thinking that maybe if you cry you will be at yourself again!"
"You don't have the right to order me arou-"
"You want to know what the girls in the school thought of you? Kari I heard them, the day before yesterday, do you want me to tell you what they said? They said that you are a stupid moron, whore, slut, and a plastic person. They only treat well because you have high grades and some of them have a crush on your brother!" he shouted. Making her realize that the girls she conceder as friends were actually traitors.
'sht… damn sit… I used the wrong words'
"take the hll your hand off my wrist. Let me the damn go!" she said while forcing herself to get out of my grip.
'I thought that that was enough, I thought that she will cry but she was so stubborn instead of crying she… she slapped me and walked away.'
'wait a minute, I wanna tell you some thing, kari wait' he wanted to tell those words. He tried but no voice came out.
two days passed
Kari sat on her sit while starring at the window of her school. Her mind was full of thoughts, thoughts about what Tk said the day before yesterday. 'are the girls really look at me that way? Damn' she sighed. 'it is really over. Tk isn't here anymore- wait why do I care? I hate him right?'
Her thoughts were interrupted with an 'ahem'
"well Ms. Yagami, I see that you're enjoying the view"
she gasped 'god perfect timing to be spaced out'
"Oh let me see…" she looked at the window and then back to her and give her an 'aha I know now' grin. "Ms. Yagami, I know that Mr. Kuma is one of the hottest guys in school, but please stop staring at him and listen to me." The others laughed.
"But Mrs. Sawada, it's not what-"she give Kari a glare.
"Oh, Ms. Yagami I want you to participate in class so… you will be one of the main cast here."
"excuse me? I will be what?"
'She was known as a strict teacher, why? because she is a drama teacher. And I realized what the lesson is all about. Do you want to know? But for me I don't. ok, ok I will tell you. It's about drama. A romantic drama it's about two persons that were secretly in love with each other. The boy is a happy go lucky boy who met a stubborn girl who doesn't know how to cry. To tell you the truth it was just Mrs. Sawada's idea. I know that I will not win over her so I said…'
"yes ma'am I'll do it" she sighed.
"great now for your partner…" she was about to tell who her partner was when the door opened and reveled a boy with azure eyes and blonde hair.
Kari's eyes widen. 'I thought he…'
"Sorry, Mrs. Sawada for I being late and please don't send me to the office" he begged.
"I've decided, it will be Mr. Takaishi"
"decided what?" he asked
"you will be Ms. Yagami's partner" his jaw dropped still unknown to him what was she talking about.
"sorry ma'am but I don't understand"
"ok, ok sit down first an I will tell you every thing"
after ten minutes
"what? You're telling us to pair up and make a story about love and drama story? Using a happy go lucky boy and a stubborn girl?" he was so shocked to hear this. He hated acting.
"yes, and you will present that to me tomorrow"
"but if one of us don't want to do it what will happen to us?" he asked
"Detention" she said unemotionally leaving the two with only one choice.
Tk Pod
'Tomorrow? Yeah right… tomorrow… oh my god, how can we discuss it to each other if she don't wanna talk to me?' he sighed 'this is going to be hard' he sighed again, then shook his head. 'No this is easy, it's just a piece of cake!' he swallowed hard 'no it's hard…no easy…no it's hard…easy…hard…easy…har- urggg I don't wanna think anymore!' he shook his head like crazy.
"Damn, what will happen tomorrow?" a sigh escaped from his lips. Tk closed his eyes. It was already 9:45 in the evening.
Kari PoV
She opened the door of her house "mom… I thought that Tk already quit?"
"What do you mean sweet heart?"
"Mom, Tk is still in the school. Have you done anything for him to stay. Because if you have… I will not accept him to protect me and don't ask for reasons because I have many" she warned.
Her mother smiled at her and shook her head. While for Kari… she just folded her arm to her chest and arched an eye brow.
"No kari I didn't"
"You didn't? But why is he still there?"
"I don't know maybe he's just there to finish the first semester"
"Maybe you're right"
The following day….
Kari was walking at the busy street of the entrance of the Odaiba high when…
"Kari, I need to ask you something" he said. But Kari didn't stop walking
"Kari! Wait please!" he was again in front of her begging for her attention, but again she ignored him.
"kari!" he ran again to her front but this time he blocked her way leaving her only one choice, and that choice is to talk to him.
"Kari I wanna ask you something" 1
"What do you wanna know? But two questions are allowed"
"What?"2
"Are you deaf? I don't wanna explain."
"I mean what exactly do mean?"
"Opps sorry but you already used your two questions"
"What? I already have?"
"That's the fourth question. I have answered your two first questions" then she left leaving Tk dumbfounded.
"Ok Mr. Takaishi and Ms. Yagami, I believe that you have something for us"
'Huh… ok maybe I'll go to the office now.' Tk opened his mouth to speak but was stopped when Kari stood up
"Sorry ma'am but can you give us a ten minutes rehearsal?"
"I'm sorry Ms. Yagami but that's too long but I will only give you a five minutes rehearsal"
Kari sighed but nodded.
Tk stood and follow Kari to the exit.
"Kari I-" Tk was interrupted when she handed him a couple of papers.
"Mia wrote it. That will be our script. Read it now."
Tk nodded again.
After 5 minutes
The teacher clapped to get the attention of her students.
"Ok class we will start so keep quiet. You two you may start"
So it begins…
-The first scene is for them to meet accidentally because they bumped to each other.-
"Uhhh… ss-s0rrry miiisss" Tk was too tensed, he doesn't like to be the center of attraction and also he hated acting. So as a result his voice quivered.
'He sucks, can't he act?' she asked herself "Get out of my way!" she acted so professionally.
-time passed by and they were finally at the last scene-
The scene before this should have been the climax of the story but because Tk act so unprofessionally, the scene was so boring.
"Wait a minute, why are you following me?" Kari was annoyed (in the act)
"I am not following you. But I guess you are the one that follows me!" Tk said. He is now acting more professionally but Kari is more professional than him.
"Leave me alone! I'm going home you better not follow me, you will be in great danger"
"I? In great danger? Why? Is your brother going to kill me?"
"You know, even if my brother looks stupid he still cares for me" (it's not Tai. It's in the script, remember?)
The two shouted at each other unknowingly that things have gotten more serious but regain their previous voice that made them look calmer.
'Ok Tk, your lines are: I don't care I will show you that I am the right person for you. I will change you' she waited for him to say those words but it never came… it was replaced by the words…
"Your brother, he is so stupid" 'what the hel have I said? It's not in the script but I…I'm sorry Kari but I forgot all the lines.'
'What the… it's not in the script… is it an adlib? what should I reply? What he said is not compatible with the script's answer' but words escaped from her lips.
She glared daggers at him "what do you mean by that?" she asked with a harsh tone and also annoyed.
Sweat dropped. "Hey don't look at me. You are the one who said stupid at him" he swallowed hard. "Sorry. But I think he is wrong about giving his life up just because of you."
'Wait I have heard it before, he…he told me those things…' Kari thought
thanx for waiting! I'll update soon Bye
