chapter 4
It has been four days since I talked to Sasuke and the others. Then six days since I talk to Kojuro. All that time I have been going to work and coming home. I haven't gone outside at night excluding, coming home late from work, but at one point I thought I saw Sasuke in the tree in my yard. When I go to open the window to talk to him, he was gone. I also been having dreams about Kagami and that crazed man every other night. I heard a tap at my window. "Sasuke if that is you I am going to kick your butt." I stated as I flung me curtains open. It wasn't Sasuke but it was Bunshichi and the other three on the lawn throwing rocks at my window. I opened my window and leaned out. "Guys what are you doing here?"
"Came to see you." said Yoshinao, dropping the rock in his hand.
"So...You coming down or what?" Asked Samenosuke
"And can you bring some regular food." Magobei piped in.
"Okay, hang on." I replied to all of their questions at once. I closed my window then turned and put on my converse. I head out the door an towards the stairs. I passed my parents room and didn't know the door was open.
"Haley where are you going?" said a voice
"Out." I replied pausing at the top of the stairs. My mom's red hair appear in the door way to her room. Now that you think about it I didn't look like my mom she had red hair and brown eyes.
"Where young lady?" she said. Before I could answer my father stepped out of the room too. He had black hair and green eyes. So I didn't look like either of my parents.
"Erica," My dad said in his deep voice "She is old enough to not have you hang around her like a mother hen."
"Kyle, she going out at night. What happened if the rumors are true?" 'Boy wouldn't you like to know.'
"Haley just watch yourself." My dad replied going back into the bedroom.
"Okay, see you later." I replied bounding down the stairs.
"And take your coat!" my mom yelled. I made it to the bottom of the stairs and turn toward the dining room. I made another sharp turn in to the kitchen and grabbed the bag of unopened chips on the counter. Then went back to the front door, I grabbed my jacket before walking out the door.
"What took you so long?" asked Yoshinao, once I got on the porch. I looked up and saw them on the sidewalk.
"My parents and..." I held up the bag of chips.
"Yes! You are the best Haley-chan!" Magobei said happily, I tossed him the bag and walked down the stairs.
"So..." I started "What are you guys really here for?"
"Master Katakura hasn't came out of his room since we met you." Bunshichi said next to me. The other three nodded their heads. It's strange that Kojuro wouldn't come out of his room. But I really don't know him to know what strange.
"You think I can get him out of his room?" I asked
"Yeah we think..." Samenosuke trailed off fixing his glasses.
"Okay then lead the way." I sighed. Yoshinao took the lead, he went right instead of left. The opposite way that Sasuke took me, so now I know they don't live near each other. Yoshinao took another right once we came to the corner.
"Hey, Haley-chan."
"Yeah?" I looked over at Samenosuke, he was looking ahead.
"What did you and Master Katakura talk about?"
"Nothing much. He asked if I was new here, he said I was different and I might have mention Masamune." Sameosuke looked at me then looked ahead again.
"You are different and what did he said about big boss?"
"That he left three months ago."
"Yeah, big boss left because he need time alone." Bunshichi cut in, Magobei nodded. I smiled they will wait for Masamune until the end. I looked up at the sky, there was stars all over the place. I tuned around so I was walking backwards looking for the north star.
"What are you looking for Haley?" asked Samenosuke
"The north star. I haven't see the stars this great since I was at my grandparents house." Answering Sameosuke question. I turned around once I found what I was looking for and notice Yoshinao turn left and stop. The house that he stopped at was a two story Spanish style home and the windows were not boarded up but did have dark curtains. 'Jeez this guys are different.'
"Okay come on before the neighbors see use and start calling names." said Yoshinao. We walked up the steps and in to the house.
Chapter 4... I am I going a little to fast with the chapters?
