Chapter – 6 The Friend and The Scrap
When I opened the door to my house and got in I could hear more than one voice coming from the living room. We definitely had guests and I looked like a sand castle with sand sticking to every part of my body. And just when I was thinking to skip into my room without anyone noticing, my grand ma called me
"Sakuno is that you? I have someone very special that's been waiting for you…" my grand ma never and I say never dragged her sentences like this I thought 'something's definitely wrong'.
I went into the living room there were four people in there with my grand ma. A man in his forties had a goofy smile on his face. Two beautiful women one in her twenties and the other in her forties both were looking at me smiling in a friendly way. What caught me off guard was the boy that was very near to the door to the hallway in other words close to me and his eyes were boring into my as if he demanded me to recognize him.
When I looked at this guy all that I saw were his eyes. Those feline eyes very similar to my best friend's…
'Now what was his name again?' I thought hard. Then it hit me.
"RYOMA-KUN!" I screamed very much like Tomo. I ran to him and when I was about to hug him I stopped myself and just looked at him with tears in my eyes.
"Finally Miss. Sakuno" he smirked at me.
That turned off my happiness about finally seeing him. I raised my hand and slapped him with all that I had.
"How dare you come back now?" I screeched at him and ran up the stairs into my room.
I plopped on my bed crying I dint know what made me act like that. I was never an aggressive person (A/n don't worry Sakuno the writer of this story is definitely aggressive and will make you do things you wouldn't even dream off *evil chuckle*). I had felt the shock of everyone in the room as I ran out.
I heard a soft knock on my door and knew who it was. It's been a while since we met but I could tell it was him. I knew him like the back of my hand and he knew me the same.
"Go away Ryoma-kun I don't want to talk" I mumbled into my pillow.
"I'm happy that you still remember me Sakuno" he chuckled "but I surprised that there are so many changes in you."
"What?" I sat up on my bed.
"May be that came out all wrong I meant you never ever hit anybody, you are never angry but I guess I missed that part when we were apart" he said rubbing his red cheek and smiling.
"I'm sorry I hit you but I felt like you deserved it! You walked out on me when I needed you the most just after it happened" I mumbled the last part I was never wanted to bring that topic up but he knew what happened and he was the first one I did tell about it even before I told my grand ma.
"Sakuno you knew my plans and I did stay a week here to help you sort it out before I went to New York and I did try to contact you but you never responded to any of mails" he was stern suddenly.
"I know but you were my only friend I could about it and I couldn't bring myself to tell Tomo" I sighed the topic always made me sad.
"Anyway how's your life here?" he asked me clearly understanding my discomfort and changing the topic.
"I-I OH MY GOD RYOMA-KUN I JUST RAN AWAY AFTER I HIT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WAS JUST THERE! I have to go and apologies to them" I remembered the horrific thing I just did.
"Sakuno calm down my mum and sis are not that of a bother they wouldn't mind but my old man is going to blow this out of proportions so I must warn you about him" he said as an afterthought.
"I have go and say something then" I said hurrying to go out.
But Ryoma-kun held my hand and said "Sakuno I know you are feeling sorry for what you did but I think you should take a bath first. I think you just bought back the whole beach as a souvenir".
He just laughed looking at my tomato red face. The nerve of him! He just laughed harder when I stumbled in my embarrassment.
I just took my house cloths and ran to my bathroom to take a must needed shower.
By the time I got down to the kitchen I could see Rinko-obasan making something by the stove and Nanako-oneesan (A/n so I would like to put it this way Ryoma has Ryoga as his brother and Nanako as his sister) chopping some cabbages by the kitchen table. My grand ma was talking to them and chopping tomatoes and laughing about something.
I cleared my throat and greeted them
"Hello Rinko-obasan, Nanako-oneesan" in my shy voice embarrassed about my previous outburst in front of them.
"Hello Sakuno-chan you look so lovely" Rinko-obasan greeted me back. "And I must say you must definitely be chased a lot by the guys in your campus" she added with a wink.
Nanako-oneesan and my grand ma laughed when I blushed.
"How are you Sakuno-chan?" Nanako-oneesan asked me with a kind smile. I had always loved the Echizens they were the only people I loved apart from my grand ma. They helped my grand ma to look after me after my parents died. So Ryoga-oniisan, Nanako-oneesan, Ryoma and I grew up together.
"Fine Nanako-oneesan. How ar-" my question was cut off when Nanjiro-ojisan flung his hand on my shoulder and said loudly "So Sakuno-chan when are you going to be Mrs. Echizen? I don't mind which one of my idiotic sons you marry!" wriggling his eyebrows and smirking at me.
"Oi dad knock it off will you! You are scaring her" Ryoma-kun just came into the kitchen and looked as though he had run his hand in his hair a million times out of frustration.
"But she slapped you so I thought you dint call her after proposing her?" Nanjiro-ojisan asked Ryoma-kun in a mock innocent voice.
"Dad!" Ruoma-kun was glaring and Nanjiro-ojisan was howling with laughter.
I dint know how to react. I was embarrassed but the look on Ryoma-kun's face and Nanjiro-ojisan's laughter was making my lips twitch as I fought not to burst out laughing.
"Sakuno-chan I think the decision is up to you, you decide whom you want to marry Ryoga or Ryoma come on tell Uncle Nanji…. You know you can always talk this me don't you…" Nanjiro-ojisan was talking to me in mock baby voice now.
"I- um- I …." I was stuttering when Rinko-obasan came to my help.
"Dear you have embarrassed the kids enough for today and I think you should go and watch some Tv with Ryoma" Rinko-obasan always had this weird power on the men in her family. They always listen to her no matter what.
"And behave yourself till I call you for dinner" she told their retreating backs.
"Good to see you still haven't lost your touch Rinko-chan." My grand ma complimented Rinko-obasan and we all laughed.
I had a good time helping out Rinko-obasan at the stove just like when I was little. She would always let me stir the sauce and let me taste to see if everything tasted good. I learnt to cook from her.
Dinner was fun. It felt same like we used to do those dinners almost four years ago with a small change today it was just Nanjiro-ojisan irritating Ryoma-kun generally it was Nanjiro-ojisan and Ryoga-oniisan irritating him.
By the time we finished dinner I was pretty sure I knew all the embarrassing stories in Ryoma-kun's life that I missed out on.
And Ryoma-kun had to literally drag Nanjiro-ojisan out to their car to go home. Ryoma-kun gave me his number so that we could stay in contact. He told me he dint have an Orkut cause ' it'll give those stalkers even more reasons to annoy me' he mumbled with a frown. Poor Ryoma-kun had really worst experience with girls stalking him every second of his life. We bid the Echizens good bye and got in.
Grand ma was watching the last report of the News at 10 and I was cleaning the kitchen and prepared a cup of herbal tea she drank every day before bed and kissed her good night.
I went up to my room and started taking out all my beach cloths to put them in the laundry basket when my I saw that my cell phone had a light blinking to show that I had received text messages.
I opened it and saw the messages from Tomo about this hot guy on his bike on her way home. Typical Tomo to text while driving. A good night text from Ryoma-kun.
I texted both a goodnight and opened my laptop.
I had no idea why I opened my laptop 'maybe I can watch some chick flicks' and I googled for the movie I loved the most Bring it on: all or nothing. I simply loved the cheer in last part of the movie. I then opened my Orkut on an impulse. Everyone I know was enjoying their break. So I wasn't expecting any Scraps from anyone but I did have an unread Scrap.
'Now who would send me a Scrap' I thought and clicked on it. Well it was from Kunimitsu Tezuka.
"It's okay Sakuno I know that you are not the one I was looking for. It was a little mistake on my part I miss spelt the words but it's nice to talk to you"
The nerve of him.
But I don't know why but I giggled when I read his Scrap again. He was kind of cheeky with his reply and I dint feel bad that he was calling me Sakuno.
I typed a reply and smiled at my attempt at being I guess you could say rude if that was possible.
"If you knew it wasn't me then why did you send me that Scrap?"
Yes that's definitely a rude question. I don't know why but I dint want to be sweet Sakuno when I replied to Kunimitsu Tezuka.
I turned off my laptop and was ready to sleep when I kept thinking of Kunimitsu Tezuka ' he's an interesting one' and slipped off into the dream world with a smile on my face.

I know this is an extremely long chapter but I hope you'll like it. I was thinking it's kind of boring that I keep posting randomly without talking to you guys so I thought we could play a game you guys have to guess my first name and my gender and you could ask me one personal question. The question that's been asked a lot I'll give you the answer to that you ask me anything you like. But not odd questions please.
Read and review I'll be waiting for you reviews and guesses :P bye
