Chapter 4: The Other People In Life
"Ryuko can you come down here please," Soichiro called out as he heard footsteps upstairs. Ryuko looked out from the steps to see Soichiro and Satsuki talking to some man with blue hair. She started breathing heavily, she hadn't expected to meet another person. Right now she was fine with her dad and sister, and no one else.
"What's taking that girl so long," the older man mumbled furrowing his eyebrows in mental frustration.
"I'll go find her dad," Satsuki chimed in getting up and walking to the steps to find her sister sitting on them. "Imouto what are doing here?" Satsuki asked between fits of giggles.
"Sacchan I-I-I don't think I can go down there. I'm too nervous," Ryuko answered her facial expression showing fear and worry. "Can you tell dad that I don't feel good. I'm fine with you guys right now," the younger sister pleaded. Her older sister looked into her eyes and saw her anxiety and doubts about talking to the man in the living room and Satsuki sighed and nodded, much to Ryuko's relief.
After that talk with Ryuko, Satsuki came back down and said. "Ryuko wasn't feeling well, so she's just going to stay in her room today. It's probably just a 24 hour thing." She cringed. When it came to things like this she hated lying, especially to her father.
"I see. I'm so sorry for wasting your time Mikisugi. Maybe next time," Soichiro's response quite disappointing in it's tone.
"Hehe, its alright, she's just adjusting. I'll see Ryuko another time," the man named Mikisugi replied grabbing his jacket and exiting the mansion. Days went by and Ryuko kept avoiding the blue haired man she hadn't come to know and certainly didn't want to. Till after a long time of avoiding him Soichiro had enough and stormed to her room.
"Ryuko he's here to see you again," he said.
"I don't wanna come out," she quietly replied through the door.
"You can't keep putting off meeting him. Sooner or later you'll have to come out," Soichiro told smirking. He knew he was right and she would give in.
"Fine," she said. He was expecting that. "Then it can be later rather than sooner."
"RYUKO!" Soichiro shouted making Ryuko wince. "You can't keep putting this off! Me and Satsuki can't always be there for you!" He retorted storming off in a fit.
"MAYBE I ONLY WANT YOU AND SATSUKI!" The raven head yelled in reply, sliding down the door holding her knees to her chest. A few more times Mikisugi came over, but Ryuko never budged from her spot. They decided that to try one more time, and if she didn't come out then they would stop trying altogether. The trio sat and waited, but no one came down those steps.
"Well it looks like Ryuko isn't coming," the bluenette said standing up and reached for the doorknob when he felt a tug at his blazer. He turned around to see a short girl about 5ft 3in with long raven hair and a very vibrant red streak.
"He-hello I'm Ryuko, it-it's nice to me-meet you," she introduced herself keeping her head down.
"Hello Ryuko-kun I'm Aikuro Mikisugi. Remember me," Mikisugi said smirking.
"O-Oji! Dad you never said that Oji was the one who came to visit all the time," the raven head said.
Soichiro smiled and chuckled. "You never asked."
"Oh I see, wait! Ryuko-kun!" Ryuko said. Satsuki, Soichiro and Mikisugi just laughed. It seems that Ryuko had another person in her life after all.
A/N: Your all probably wondering what Oji means, well it's uncle in Japanese. As for the story I want to write a different side of Ryuko. In this she is kind of shy and timid and very antisocial. She will still be very hot-headed, but not short-tempered. Don't forget her awesome brute force people. So I'm hoping you enjoyed the chapter, stay tuned for chappy 5.
