Chapter Eight

Crazy Domino Nights Pt I

"Is everyone here, Ichikawa-sensei?" Emi asked, approaching the Irish-Japanese woman.

"Everyone is present and accounted for," Kelley replied, "We're ready to take off, Ayukawa-sensei."

"Everyone put on your seat belts!" Emi called to the small group that was going.

Asuka, Fubuki, Takami, Momoe, Junko, Kamiko, Sesuna, Azura, Arisho, Judai, Kenzan, and Sho were among this group. Asuka was seated next to Azura, who looked downright excited. Fubuki and Takami were sitting in the back, holding hands, far from Kelley's eye. Kamiko and Kenzan were trading cards in front of them, laughing every so often at Kenzan's comments. Seated in front of them were Judai and Sho, who were distantly quiet. Arisho and Sesuna were seating together and having a conversation about soccer and tennis. Momoe and Junko were giggling and talking about the great shopping they would get to do that weekend. And Daichi was seated to a quiet looking boy who had side-spiky raven hair and dark forest green eyes.

"Are you alright, Koji-kun?" Kelley asked, bending down so she was eye level with him.

"Yes, Ichikawa-sensei." Koji said quietly.

Momoe and Junko both squealed, "Isn't he adorable?!"

Koji blushed, looking freaked out. Azura met his eye and smiled at him, causing him to quickly look down.

"What's with him?" Arisho asked Sesuna.

"Sakurazaki Koji is Azura's cousin. He's really shy and quiet." the pale silver haired genius replied. "He's such a sweetie though and is really smart too."

Arisho scratched her chin and said, "I wonder why I've never noticed him until now…"

Sesuna shrugged before looking out the window.

-Domino-

"MY BABY!!"

"MOM!!"

Judai tried prying himself away from his mother but with no avail. The tall woman squealed and rained kisses all over her son's face. Many of the others were sweatdropping at the scene. Arisho was discreetly trying to hide from view.

"I still see you, Arisho-chan." Akané Yuki smirked.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman with pale brown eyes. Her hair was exactly like Judai's except hers stopped at her waist. She wore a pair of comfy black capri pants, a red halter top, and white running shoes. She was definitely a Soccer Mom.

"Hehe. H-Hi there, Mrs. Yuki." Arisho laughed sheepishly.

"Okay, kids, I talked to your parents and I'm going to be taking you lot out for the night!" Akané exclaimed happily. "So I'm gonna take you to your homes so you can see your parents and get ready to party! I'll be picking you lot up at 6 and bring you home at 10. Then tomorrow Ichikawa-sensei and Ayukawa-sensei can take you on your field trip!" Akané then got a scary gleam in her eyes, "Move out!!"

Bolting for the red SUV that belonged to Judai's parents, the teenagers quickly piled in, buckling in, and awaited for the crazy lady to take them home. Sho some how managed to be squished inbetween Sesuna and Azura in the very back.

"I like Mrs. Yuki. She's basically an older version of Judai-kun." Azura laughed adorably.

Sho smiled and replied, "I'll get to meet your Kaasan this weekend, right?"

Her amethyst eyes opened, "Yeah!"

Sesuna smiled in spite of herself, "I'm so happy for you, Sho…"

They drove to the Marufuji Residence first.

-Marufuji Residence-

"K-Kaasan! C-Can't b-breathe!" Sho choked out, turning blue in his mother's arms.

Shoko Marufuji released her youngest son and pinched his cheeks, "You've gotten so big, Sho-chan!"

Sho wailed and said, "Kaasan! That hurts!"

Sesuna sighed and saved the day by boldly smacking Shoko upside the head, "Shoko-sama, you're hurting him."

She rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, "Sorry, Suna-chan."

Shoko had shoulder-blade length beautiful white-blue locks that shimmered in the light with Sho's bangs and silver eyes. She was barely taller than Sho and was petite. It was obvious that Sho and Judai took after their mothers. Takami winked at Sesuna and she smiled at her and Kamiko slowly.

"Shoko-sama's gonna take me home now, Akané-sama." Sesuna said to Judai's mother.

Akané blinked and replied, "Alright then."

Shoko then called up the stairs, "Ryoki! Our baby boy is home!"

A tall man that was an exact clone of Ryo came barreling down the stars. The only difference was Ryoki wore glasses like Sho and he has some streaks of grey throughout his locks. Ryoki picked up Sho with ease and slung him over his shoulder, Sho letting out screams.

"Otosan! Put me down!" Sho cried out.

"No way, Sho-kun! I haven't seen you in so long! You're getting a bear hug from your old man or else!" Ryoki laughed, hugging Sho until he was blue in the face.

Judai coughed out something that sounded a lot like, "And I thought my mother was bad…"

Akané turned a scary eye on her son, "What was that, Judai?!"

"NOTHING!" Judai flinched and ducked, covering his head.

Arisho snickered and said, "Aw, poor baby, scared of his mommy."

Judai looked at her and his eyebrows met, "You haven't seen her mad."

Ryoki finally set Sho down and he stumbled, being steadied by Azura. Blushing, the bluenette looked up and gave a small smile. Sesuna was then hugged by Ryoki discreetly along with Shoko.

"Well, we better be going. Remember, Sho, Sesuna, that I'm picking you guys up at 6."

"I'll be here." Sesuna piped up immediately.

The rest of them piled into the car once more.

-Misawa Residence-

After dropping off Takami, Kamiko, Kenzan, Momoe, and Junko, they were on their way to Daichi's house! They pulled up to a nice looking home and everyone hopped out. The door was answered by an older version of Daichi except he had dark brown hair.

"Good afternoon, Father." Daichi said with a smile.

"Your mother's been driving me crazy, Daichi-kun! Thank goodness you're home!" Akatsuki Misawa answered.

They entered the house and met the lady of the house, who was carrying a small girl of four. Haruka smiled at them, her blue orbs sparkling, and she wore her raven hair in a bun. The little girl had wavy dark brown hair and big blue eyes. She held her arms out to Daichi immediately.

"Onesan!" She cried.

"Akemi-imoto-chan!" Daichi embraced his little sister and laughed.

Akemi put her thumb in her mouth and asked, "Did you bring me a present, Onesan?"

Daichi set her down and said, "I sure did, Akemi." He pulled out a card from his pocket, "It's White Magician Pikeru!"

"Yay!" Akemi kissed her brother on the cheek and hugged the card to her chest, "Thank you, Onesan!" She exclaimed before running towards the back of her house.

Judai blinked along with Arisho, "Is she a genius too?" Arisho couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. She's already dueling." Daichi responded. "She likes Light type Spellcasters."

"She's so cute, Daichi-kun!" Azura exclaimed, "She's got a great big brother too."

Daichi blushed in flattery, "Why thank you, Azura-san."

"It was nice meeting you." Asuka said politely to Haruka and Akatsuki. "But we must be going."

Akané spoke up, "Remember, 6 on the dot!"

Daichi laughed, "Okay, I will."

They entered the death mobile once more.

-Road-

Halfway towards the Sakurazaki Residence, Akané's cell began to vibrate. Judai answered it so his mother could concentrate on not killing them, I mean, driving.

"Hello?" Judai answered. "Hi, Dad!"

Makoto Yuki let out a laugh, "Yo, Judai!"

Fubuki made a face in the back, "Did his dad just say "yo"?"

Asuka smacked him, "Shut up, Fubuki-niisan."

"What's your dad look like, Judai?" Fubuki asked.

Judai handed him a picture of a man with black shaggy hair and his chocolate brown eyes. Asuka felt a soft b-bmp along with Azura. Makoto looked extremely young and not old enough to be a dad.

"Yeah, we'll bring Arisho over. Why do you want to see her so bad?" Judai was saying.

Arisho automatically looked panic stricken and tried to escape the car. It took Asuka and Fubuki holding her away from the door. Judai hung up and handed over the cell before realizing what was happening. Unbuckling his seat belt, Judai dived in the back, pinning Arisho to the seat.

"Calm down, Arisho! Your dad's at my dad's right now!" He hissed in her ear.

Her face burning, Arisho looked at Judai breathing heavily over her and started to feel her heart pounding. Asuka, Azura, and Fubuki sat back in their seat while Koji continued to read in the back, not even commenting. Akané slowed to a stop at a red light and looked in the rear view mirror.

"Now, Judai, I've told you before! No making-out in the back of my car! Wait until you and Arisho are at the house!" She said sternly.

Both brunette's turned the color of Judai's blazer and immediately looked away from each other. Akané blinked and shrugged before pulling in front of the Sakurazaki Residence, where Koji's parents and Azura's mother lived together. Judai scrambled out of the car and Asuka had to help her Osiris friend walk straight as they entered.

"Kaasan!" Azura cried, running into her mother's embrace.

Kira Maruzakashi looked exactly like Azura, except for Azura's hair style. Standing behind Kira was Takuya and Bianca Sakurazaki. Takuya had raven spiky hair like son, the same shade as his sister and niece and the same amethyst eyes. Bianca had white-blonde hair and dark forest green eyes.

"6 o'clock." Akané said as they went to leave.

"Thank you, Mrs. Yuki!" Azura bowed in respect.

"You're welcome sweetie." Akané replied before grabbing Fubuki by his ear, "Come along."

"Owowowowow! EAR!" Fubuki cried as Asuka grabbed the other one, "EVIL EAR-GRABBING FEMALES!"

Akané and Asuka laughed as they left with Arisho and Judai on their heels. Azura was watching the back of Arisho's head with a twinge of jealousy and shook it away.

"Hey, Koji, let's go and get ready!" Azura exclaimed, dragging her cousin up to their room.

"Aw, but Azura!" Koji whined.

Kira paused and smiled, "My baby girl is growing up…"

Bianca smiled and said, "This is a good thing, sister."

-Tenjyoin Residence-

Standing in the hall of a massive mansion, Akané couldn't help but look around with big eyes.

"We're home!" Asuka and Fubuki called in unison, their voices ringing off the walls, and echoing.

"Asuka-chan! Fubuki-kun!" two voices rang out.

Asuna and Raiden Tenjyoin appeared and embraced their children. Asuna had chocolate brown hair like Fubuki's and the same light golden brown orbs as Asuka. Raiden had the same shade of dark blonde hair of his daughter and Fubuki's eyes and handsome smile. Akané looked around and felt completely out of place.

"Thank you so much, Akané-san." Asuna said, putting her hands on Asuka's shoulders.

"No prob, Asuna-san. I'll be picking the kids up at 6." Akané responded. "Come along Judai, Arisho."

Trailing after her like a couple of puppies, Judai and Arisho were as silent as mice as they left the Tenjyoin Mansion and re-entered the SUV.

-Near Yuki Residence-

"Why are you two so quiet?" Akané asked from the front.

"No reason…" sighed Judai.

Akané's eyes softened, "Are you two mad cause I was joking earlier about making-out?"

Arisho blushed, answering the spunky woman's question.

"Aw, I'm sorry. You know you've been like a daughter to me since middle school, Arisho. I was just kidding." Akané said, frowning.

"It's okay, Akané." Arisho whispered.

Judai looked down, still remembering Arisho's words. "'I'm sorry that my heart says "Aishiteru"! I'm sorry, Yuki Judai!'"

Aishiteru meant "I love you".

Judai looked out the window as they pulled up in front of his home, "Tonight, I'm gonna tell Arisho the truth… I'm gonna be brave!"

SF4E: "Crazy parents!"

Judai: "My mother scares me!!"

All the kids: "She scares us all!"

SF4E: "Yup, never get into a car with Akané Yuki driving."

Judai: trembling in fear

SF4E: "Please R&R!"
