Chapter 4
"Why do we have to be here?" Mamoru asked his brother as they got out of Mitsibu's car. "Because Kenji told us. It's for the band." Mitsibu answered leading the way to the front doors of the mansion. "I'm sick of this band. They better win the award later." Mamoru mumbled to himself. "Anyway, Kenji's son showed up." Mitsibu said not paying any attention to his brother. Mamoru rolled his eyes not caring. He was tired of being around everyone.
Mamoru really hated his job that he did for Kenji. He was an errand boy. Had to check out places for the band to stay at and then he had to get anything the band and the others wanted or needed. Whether it was drinks and food or magazines for them to read. Any small task that no one else wanted to do. Mamoru was basically a gopher. He was the youngest around so had gotten picked to do that job. Kenji felt it gave Mamoru something to do.
Mamoru wanted to leave so he could go back and see Usagi. She was all he could think about. Mamoru felt that he needed to see her again or his life would end. There was something about her that made Mamoru not sleep or think straight. Mitsibu let Mamoru walk into the mansion first and the two started greeting the people that they knew even the ones they didn't. They had to make a good impression for Kenji.
Motoki handed the tray to the maid and told her thanks. She smiled then left out of the room. Motoki stepped back when an older lady walked in before he could close the door. "Welcome home Master Motoki." She said with a huge smile gracing her face. "Ms….Ms. Lots?!" Motoki said as he then smiled big. He was very happy to know that his father still had her around. Ms. Lots smiled even more as she gave Motoki a huge hug. "My you've grown. Just look at you so handsome." She said while Motoki stepped back from her. Motoki blushed then looked at Usagi.
"Usagi this is Ms. Lots. She's the head servant in charge of them all. She's also the best cook around. She's even better then our neighbor Mrs. Ling had been. Just wait until you try her crepes." Motoki said making Ms. Lots blush and smile even more. Usagi shyly smiled and shook the lady's hand. She seemed to be a few years older then the two's mother. Usagi thought she was very pretty. Ms. Lots smiled as she looked at Usagi and right away could tell that she was Motoki's sister and Kenji's daughter. She should know. She had been with the family for years. Started working for them even before Kenji and his ex had met and married.
"Welcome Mistress Usagi. I'm very pleased to meet you." Ms. Lots said. "It's nice to meet you." Usagi whispered as she looked back down. "Usagi go and take your bath. It'll help relax your body." Motoki told her. Usagi looked at him then at Ms. Lots. "Here's some fresh towels. Everything you need is in the cabinets in the bathroom." Ms. Lots said handing the towels to Usagi. Usagi took the towels and whispered thanks then walked to the bathroom.
"Here Master Motoki are some aspirins. If you need anything else just let me know." "Thank you Ms. Lots." Motoki said as he hugged her again. Ms. Lots let him go then left out. She would have stayed and talked but could tell by the look on Motoki's face and even Usagi's that they were both tired. She like Mitsibu, wondered where Motoki had been and why the two were in old clothes that didn't fit right. She also wondered why the two seemed skinny. "I'll fix that soon." Ms. Lots said to herself as she started to plan out some healthy meals for the two.
Motoki closed the door then went and got Usagi's nightgown for her. He went to the bathroom and got a drink of water took two aspirins then he sat down and talked to Usagi as she took a bubble bath.
After a few minutes he left and went and put their few things away. Only taking up two drawers in the dresser. Their clothes in one the other items in the other. Usagi walked out of the bathroom in her nightgown then laid down in the bed after Motoki told her to. Motoki handed her bunny that still held their money, to her then went and took a quick shower. He then went and lay by Usagi. He turned the lights out by the bed then the two started to go to sleep.
About forty minutes later they both looked to the door when it was suddenly banged opened all the way. A man with a woman hanging all over him stopped and went wide eyed when they spotted the two. The woman giggled while the man said that room was occupied. They left out fast leaving the door open. Motoki got up and closed and locked the door. He then went back and got back into the bed with Usagi. They both fell back asleep fast. It had been a long day for them.
Mamoru sat on the barstool bored out of his mind. He hated those parties and thought about leaving to go up to his room upstairs hoping Kenji would think he had been at the party long enough.
"Hey Kenji who is that up in your guest room on the second floor?" Mamoru heard one of the band members asks. Mamoru laid his head down on the bar and started to tune the others out. "My son and his little whore." He heard Kenji say. "Your son….Motoki" Another older man asked. "Yes. It seems that he's finally back." Kenji answered.
"Did you learn the girl's name?" Mitsibu asked softly. He was a little upset that Kenji didn't seem happy that his son was there. Mitsibu remembered his dad one time right before he died, telling him that he wished Kenji would have gone and checked on Motoki after he had left but Kenji wouldn't. The two men even had a small falling out over it. "Her name is Usagi." Kenji said. He then took a long drink from his beer. Kenji thought about Motoki. He had forgotten that Motoki was back and was there in his home. He finished that beer and started on another one.
Mamoru's head flew up fast when he heard the name Usagi. His eyes went wide while he slowly turned to look at Kenji. He suddenly remembered that one old man asked Usagi where Motoki was. Mamoru didn't notice Mitsibu watching him. Mitsibu realized that Mamoru must have meet the two before as he remembered the looks on Usagi and then Motoki's faces when they had both seen him back at Kenji's office. Mitsibu sighed wondering what Mamoru had done to the two.
Mitsibu got up from his chair and walked over to Mamoru as the young teen sat there looking at Kenji. He looked at Mitsibu when his arm was grabbed and his brother pulled him out of the room. "Talk now. I can tell you know the names." Mitsibu said as he pushed Mamoru to the wall by the front door. No one else was around them. "Stop! What the fuck!" Mamoru said pushing his brother away but Mitsibu stood his ground. "Talk." Mitsibu said pushing Mamoru back again. "All right. Yes I know the two. But not really well…. Well Usagi I do." Mamoru started to say but stopped and smiled. "Mamoru!" "What?! Damn all right! I meet them a few months back. I stayed the night with Usagi alone. All alone." Mamoru said still smiling with his eyes shining. Mitsibu only looked at him not believing. "I did! I didn't know that Motoki guy was Kenji's son." Mamoru then said. Mitsibu let Mamoru's arms go and Mamoru walked back into the room where the others were with Mitsibu following him.
"How old is he now?" The two heard an older man ask Kenji. Kenji took a gulp from his glass then said, "He's eighteen now. Just turned it not to long ago if I remember right. Yeah eighteen." "What about that girl that was with him?" Another asked. He had been in the meeting earlier. "I don't know. I don't care. I forgot to ask." Kenji said. He realized that he didn't look at her birthday on the birth certificate. Kenji suddenly smiled remembering Usagi's body. "I hope she's of age. She was hot." Kenji then said making all the ones around him but two laugh.
Mamoru suddenly got mad and left out of the room fast running up to his room. Mitsibu sat down at the bar staying silent. He glanced at Kenji and thought about Usagi feeling that Kenji was going to be making a huge mistake sometime soon. He got up then went to see Mamoru but Mamoru wouldn't let him in. So Mitsibu went to his private room. Most times he would leave and go back to the condo but now he had the feeling that he should hang around the mansion for awhile.
The next morning Motoki and Usagi woke up right after each other. Motoki stayed in the bed so Usagi did also. "Motoki." "Yes." "Will there be parities every night?" "I really hope not." Motoki answered softly. Usagi looked at him as he looked at her. "For a minute I thought Mama was back. But with more people around." Usagi said. Motoki only smiled. They both looked toward the door when they head the knock.
