"I like him…I don't know when I've got this feeling…but his eyes were so effective to my heart…"
Chapter four: Ren's Birthday Feast
"Horohoro! Wake up! Horohoro!"
Miyame frowned as she was shaking the blue haired boy forcefully. 'Oh god, he could not wake up even though I shook him so harsh like this. I wonder what his strength made of.' She thought to herself.
"Horohoro! Please! Wake up!" She yelled, other passengers started to look at them again with their annoyed eyes.
"Horohoro! Wake up!" She began to raise her voice up...but…
"…" no answer…
"HOROHORO! I SAY WAKE UP!" She hollered as loud as she could…at this point, she didn't care if the passengers were going to kill her or not, but she NEEDED him to wake up NOW!
"Um…um… Pilica?" Horohoro purred…he still didn't know what was going on.
"No, I'm not Pilica! I'm…Ahhhh!"
She cried as Horohoro seized her body to his. Her face nestled against his chest…She widened her eyes and felt that heat ran over her cheeks…she knew she was blushing right now. But his body was so warm…No! It was not time to think like this! All the passengers looked at him and she with their marveled eyes, moreover, some of them started to gossip… 'No, everyone! You guys are misunderstanding us!" She could only deny that in her mind.
"Horohoro! Wake up! I'm not your SISTER!" She tried to get rid of him and emphasized the word 'sister', expected the passengers could hear it…
"Um…um…Pilicaaaa…Why your body is soooo fluffly like a pillowwww…" The sleep-talked boy mumbled and strengthened his hug.
"I'm not Pilica!" She said and tried to push him away, even though yesterday she hugged this guy a lot, but when he was the one who started to hug first…she felt her heart beat involuntarily…
It seemed like he would not let her go easily, Miyame had no idea, she could only let him hugged her as long as he wanted…she felt her heart trembled… and it beat more and more… Actually, she did not hate what he was doing right now, but…she just did not accustom when her heart was beating like this…
Besides, whether she did not know it… but in her deep heart was saying that she liked this hug…it was so warm and tender…in unison…
"Hmmm…What time is it now? Oh…uh…"
Miyame heard Horohoro's groggily voice…Oh…he finally woke up! But she would be gladder if he woke up while she was not in his wrapped arms like this…
Horohoro started to feel something fluffy in his arms…he then slowly turned his eyes to find out what is it… and when his eyes met that something's eyes…he figured out that it was not something but Miyame…
Yeah…Miyame was in his arms…
"G-Good morning." She faltered; she didn't know what to say…so…maybe good morning might be a good word.
"Good…Good morning." Horohoro smiled sheepishly…
"You know what you are doing right now, right?" She asked, sounded so low…
"Right…" He replied hoarsely.
"So…GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH RIGHT NOW! WE ARE GOING TO REACH CHINA IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES! HURRY UP!" She said kind of command.
"Hai!" He answered diligently; withdraw that hug before grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste and headed to the toilet…among the eye sights of the passengers…
Miyame slowly sat back on her seat…she felt of the eye sights, she glared back at them in annoyance and that made them stopped looking at her abruptly. She let a sigh out while she was…
… Thinking about that hug…she didn't know why…but she missed it.
—5 minutes later—
Horohoro came back with his guilty face…he had reconsidered while he was in the toilet about what he had done. This was ungrateful! He wanted to do something to redeem his mistake.
"Miyame! I'm really really really sorry." Horohoro said with his dovetailed hands above his head.
"It's okay." Miyame smiled, she really was not angry at him.
"No it was not! You are a girl and I'm a boy…I should not have done that! I'm really sorry." He bent his head down, dovetailed hands still above his head.
"Oh…hey! It's really okay! You thought I'm Pilica so that's why…that's why…" She said with blush on cheeks.
"Oh…really?" He blushed too as he saw her.
"Um…yeah." She said, glanced away. "So don't worry, I was not angry…honestly…"
"Thank you…" Horohoro revealed his relieve smile.
"Attention please, attention please, now we…" the voice of a woman suddenly appeared as the train was moving slower and slower. Horohoro and Miyame knew they reached their destination.
"Let's go." Horohoro said as he grasped his baggage up.
"Sure." She said in joy.
-Fifteen minutes later, 17.30—
"We are late now." Horohoro looked at his wristwatch while walking to the road to wait for the taxi.
"Looks like you are not worried." Miyame said with her little smile.
"Because all of my friends know I always late for the appointment, I've told you. Ha-ha." He chuckled in a good mood.
She didn't reply anything…she only looked around the place she stood on, this was China. She could not remember the province she was now and she was courteous enough to not ask Horohoro. There are a lot of big trees and enormous river…color of green made she felt so fresh…this weather in this place was so clear and cold, this was a real serenity...
Not that long time, a black taxi stopped in front of him and her. Horohoro opened the taxi's door and gave the taxi driver a paper which written of the place of Ren's house. The driver took a look at it before nodded; Horohoro then stepped inside the car and called Miyame to come inside too. Afterwards, the taxi was running toward along the road…
Horohoro took out his cell phone as Miyame was looking what he was doing, He smiled,
"I'm going to call my friend."
—
"Yoh! It's so annoying! I told you to change your ringtone!" A girl with blonde short hair yelled at her fiancé.
"But Anna…this ringtone is amazing." Her fiancé or Yoh replied softly, he knew that he would never win his fiancée even though it was going to be the end of the world…
"I don't like Bob's music! JUST RECEIVE THE CALL!" Anna commanded terribly.
"Hai!" Yoh answered in horror and pressed the green-receive call button, "Hai, This is Yoh."
(Oh! Hello Yoh! I was now heading to Ren's house!) Yoh knew it was Horohoro.
"Great to hear that! But now I was standing in front of Ren's house" Yoh answered and grinned in his style as he looked at Ren's big house, but today there are a lot of quests came to visit.
(Really! Well, now I am on the way to…Hey! Miyame! Don't do like that!...) Horohoro yelled out from the cell phone.
Yoh gaped astonishingly… What? Horohoro now was on the way to the Hey! Miyame! Don't do like that!? That was silly. He knew it was not…
'Miyame? Isn't that a girl name?' Yoh thought to himself.
"Uh…Horohoro?" Yoh called him, trying to get him back to the call.
(Oh…yeah…I'm in the taxi and…Hey! close the window!)
Yoh widened his eyes in surprise but he could feel of something suspicious as well, "Clo…Close the window?"
(Uh…No! Oh!…talk to you later! I just want to let you know that I'll be there in the next one hour! Bye!)
After Horohoro hung up the call, Yoh turned to Anna but he twitched as he saw Anna was former glaring at him.
"Horohoro said he will be arrived the next one hour." He forced a smile, sweat dropped. He didn't understand why she looked at him like that.
"I know, I heard everything on the call, it was very loud." Anna said calmly.
"Oh, good." Yoh replied very short.
"And I know he is coming with a girl." Anna said with her crossed-hands.
Yoh dumbfounded, he knew that so but he didn't know Anna would know that too, "I think so." He replied simply.
"That made me surprised," Anna said, "Horohoro comes with a girl! I think if he was the last person who left in this world, No girls is going to choose him."
'That's why she is looking at me like that' Yoh thought in relief before asking Anna, "But where are Manta and Ryu? I remember I saw both of them were standing here before I received Horohoro's call."
"They already went inside." Anna answered simply.
"Oh, so let's go in!" Yoh said joyfully and pulled Anna's hand inside the Tao Family's house.
—One hour later, 18.35—
"Is this your friend Ren house!" Miyame asked him as she stared at the house no… the castle!
"Yes, I told you, he is very rich." Horohoro said while giving the money to the taxi driver. He took Horohoro's money with a frown on his mouth. Horohoro could only give him his sheepish smile to show his apologize instead of the word 'sorry'.
Why? That was because while they were in the car, Miyame opened the window, outstretched her arm out, and he had to stop talking with Yoh and told her to stop. Although it was good that she stopped but she just let the window opened still, he then had to tell her to close the window again…what a childish girl.
Miyame who did not know anything just stared at Ren's house or she should better called castle with her sparkling eyes. Even though the sky started to be darkened like someone painted the color of navy blue all over it…the light of the wall lamps and the Chinese chandeliers glimmered to display how elegant of the castle was. It was true that there were few of lights, but that made the castle looked attractive in mystery. Red bricks and the roof matched perfectly to the carved of the dragon pattern and the Yin-yang in the center of the castle. There are a lot of guests dressed in their best outfits, they walked around, talked to each other and ate the buffet hospitably.
Miyame wondered…What the face of the host of this birthday feast looked like. He was lucky to have everything was just so perfect like this…many people came to his birthday feast; this boy must be loved by all of them! How perfect he was!
"Oh! Is that Horohoro?"
She turned to the sound of the woman as unison as Horohoro. Miyame saw a woman emerged in front of her…she was tall, slender and beautiful. Her green hair and was gripped with the white flower hair clips, her deep blue sea eyes looked so influential. She dressed in white Chinese suit, decorated with flowers patterns and that made she even looked like a princess…
"Jun!" Horohoro called her informally with his hand beckoning her to come to his spot.
"Hello." She greeted him, "Late again."
"Yep." Horohoro replied with his grin.
Jun chuckled before slowly diverted her eyes to Miyame…she then turned to Horohoro again, "Who is her? Your girlfriend?"
"N-No!" Horohoro blushed, "She is my friend."
Because of Jun's word, he felt his heart beat rapidly; he doubted if Miyame would feel the same as him…
"She is so cute!" Jun said, gave her a welcome smile.
"Thank you." Miyame who stood quietly at the back of Horohoro said meekly.
Jun smiled tricky before walking toward to Miyame. Miyame only stared at her confusedly; she sensed this woman was going to do something. And she was right, Jun squeezed Miyame's cheeks, twisted them to the left and right. Jun giggled enjoyably as she saw Miyame's cheeks distorted as the way her fingers wanted.
Horohoro was about to tell Jun to stop, but she stopped first. Jun looked at Miyame who was groping her little red cheeks softly, looked at her face surprisingly. Jun chuckled when she saw her dizzy face.
"She looked so innocent! Miyame-chan! Want to be my sister?"
"WHAT!" Horohoro exclaimed.
"I didn't ask you," Jun turned to send her resentful eyes to him before turned back to Miyame, "Well, what is your answer? Do you want to be my sister?"
Miyame did not know what was the best word she should said, she could sense again that she should not deny her because…The radiation of dreadfulness could had been sensed easily from this woman…
"Yes…Thank you for giving me a great honor." Miyame smiled sheepishly.
Jun made a very happy smile, "That's what I want to hear! I finally have a sister! So now I have both little brother and sister! Yokata ne. (That's so good)"
Horohoro gaped, dumfounded… He knew that Jun was not usually like this…what the hell happened to her? But by the way, that was good to Miyame; she might not have felt courteous anymore.
"Oh…anyway…Welcome to my house!" Jun said welcomely.
"Oh! I want to have shower and I bring my cloth to change too! So Ren can't blame on me if I don't wear any good and formal one. Can I use your restroom, Jun!" Horohoro asked as Miyame raised her eyebrow, Cloth? Change?
"Of course!" Jun said gladly, "And you can use my house's restroom too, Miyame-chan."
"Thank you Jun-san, but I didn't bring any cloth to change…"
"Eh?" Horohoro and Jun exclaimed in unison,
Miyame looked at her cloth that actually was Pilica's one, even though it was cute but it was not proper for this high class feast. It seemed like she didn't respect the feast at all…she felt bad…
"Oh yeah!" Horohoro rushed to Miyame, "I forgot to tell you to bring one!"
"That's okay; I will wait in the front of the house until the end of the feas—"
"NO!" Horohoro and Jun cried loudly.
"You can't do that; actually, Ren's birthday is tomorrow or 1 January. So we will cerebrate until the midnight of today, the weather would be so cold, you can't restrain it." Horohoro said obviously worried.
"But…it looks like I don't pay any respect to the feast if I come in with the informal cloth…" She gave him a little disputation.
"So I'll let you go to another place with me."
"Baka, that doesn't make any sense…"
"But—"
"Stop!" Jun cried, "Do you guys think I'm such a merciless person?"
Horohoro and Miyame turned to Jun, they both gave her their sheepishly smiles, "No, we don't mean that."
"Good!" Jun smiled and pointed to Horohoro, "You go to change your cloth now!" and then she turned to Miyame "And you little sister, come with me."
"Hey! Where will you let she go!" Horohoro asked, concerned.
"Oh my god! You made me have a head-ache! I won't let her go anywhere but my house! I'm just going to MAKE OVER her! You just go changing your cloth and I promise I'll send her back to you, okay!" Jun cried and thought that this guy was too concerned about her…seriously…
"Okay! Thank you very much! See you Miyame!" Horohoro grinned and rushed inside the house. She looked at him until he had gone of her eye sight.
"Alright Miyame-chan!" Jun called her, "Let's go."
"Okay, Jun-san." She smiled courteously.
"Don't forget we are now sibling! Just call me Jun! That's what I would be happy!"
"Okay…Jun."
"Good girl! Now! Let's go to my room and I promise that today you will be the most beautiful girl in this feast! Leave it to me!"
