Chapter 10: Seeing double?
- I specifically told you to bring her at 11!- Walter yelled at Mori.
- Walter its 11:03! We were only ten minutes late- Taylor defended.
- And what exactly did you do these three minutes?
- Traffic- was all Mori said.
- Don't give me poor excuses boy!- Walter began to scold but Taylor just pulled his ears away from him and left him in the living room.
- I know you care for me Walter, but even that was exaggerated- Taylor just sighed and turned around to Mori- Do you want to come in and have some coffee or something? I promise you Walter won't bite.
- No thanks- Mori said all serious- I'll see you later.
- Ok, good night- Taylor got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek and he walked away. Normally Mori would give her a kiss on the lips but he was always formal and serious when Walter was around. Taylor turned around and saw Walter with a smirk on his face and she just sighed- I swear to god man! If I don't kill you now it's because I owe you!
- You better keep that in mind! I might not have given you life, but I kept you alive!- Walter got up and hugged Taylor- And tell me, how was the party?
- It was entertaining, you will never guess what happened! –Taylor walked to the kitchen for a glass of water and continued talking- Makoto Sakurada has returned! Everyone at the party was in complete shock. Turns out, Makoto was living with this lady that took care of her and she discovered that she was Makoto and went to present herself with them. Now the family is back together and everything. I met the family but I gotta say that the way Mori described Makoto is a completely different way from what this girl is like.
- How come?
- She is very fragile and seems to be very timid. Takashi described her as a very social and vivid girl who always made good conversation and was never afraid of anything. Somehow I felt like she could have been like me, but this Makoto doesn't even resemble the one Takashi described.
- That's something odd. Could be she lost her memory in the fall, kind of like you. Maybe she changed throughout the years or something.
- Yeah but there's something fishy about this. Makoto was very afraid of everyone and for everything she turned to the lady that brought her there. She seemed to be like a wicked lady, like an evil step-mother.
- And what was her name?
- Um…..let me remember….Noriko….Kamahi! Noriko Kamahi was her name. A really wicked lady in her fifties. That woman even gave me the chills!
- Noriko? Why does that sound familiar?- Walter rubbed his chin.
- Must be a common name here in Japan- Taylor shrugged as she continued to drink water.
- No, I have a feeling I met a Noriko or something like that when I came here with Maddie. I just can't seem to place her!
- Whoever she is, she seems to be the only one who knew the whereabouts of Makoto. But the real question that I have is…..why now? Why wait all this time to bring Makoto back?
- This can't be a coincidence- Walter looked at Taylor and she just nodded. This was a big mystery and somehow they both felt involved in it.
- Well the Sakuradas' seem to be very happy. Selene even seems like a nice woman. Odd thing is that she thought I was Greek. She said that I have the eyes of a Greek person. I invented that Maddie must have been or had decendency. One look at you and no one would suspect that you are Greek.
- You never liked that people know if you are an orphan. I don't blame you, but it's sort of sad.
- I don't want pity- Taylor turned around. It was true. When people knew she was an orphan and that she was adopted, they took pity on her and somehow that made her feel weak and defenseless, one of the worst things Taylor could ever feel. She needed to be strong and in control, like when she was battling.
The next mourning Taylor was awoken by Mrs. Morinozuka. She called her on the phone to invite her for breakfast in the back yard along with her father. Taylor didn't mind to bring Walter or even be with those rich people, what she felt weird about were the second guests that were there.
- Taylor! You know Makoto and Selene, right?
- Yes I do- she nodded and bowed politely- it's a pleasure to see you two again.
- The pleasure is all mine- Selene smiled and bowed as well.
- Uh, this is my father, Walter Mackenzie. Walter, this is Selene and Makoto Sakurada- Taylor introduced them.
- I understand you recently found your daughter- Walter said politely as they seated down in the little porch chairs- I congratulate you on finding her. It must be devastating loosing a child. I know I would be nothing without my Taylor.
- Yes, for many years we were very sad for the lost of our daughter, but my Hiroki and I never lost hope. I had the feeling my Makoto was somewhere out there. Thank god she is now home safe and will never leave our side. Right Makoto?
- Yes mother- Makoto smiled timidly at her mother. Taylor was right, this girl was nothing Mori described. Walter noticed something peculiar in that girl, the resemblance of her and Taylor! Like two drops of water! But Taylor was more fierce and vivid, while she was more fragile.
- Taylor, how are things with Takashi?- Selena asked as she was being poured a cup of tea.
- Great, I guess. He and I see each other every day and well…..I guess we can say we are going steady- Taylor was kind of nervous of talking about her relation in front of Walter. It was so weird.
- Takashi and Makoto were great friends in their childhood- Mrs. Morinozuka said.
- We were always very close- said Makoto- I believe people even thought we were going to get married.
Taylor didn't make a single move, she tried to stay as calm as she could. She knew that was going to happen. This is why she preferred not to go in the first place, but seeing as how Mrs. Morinozuka insisted she couldn't say no. She grabbed her cup and began to take a mall sip of tea and preferred to stay silent. "Was it just me or did she mean to say that on purpose" she thought "it sounds like a threat or something"
- I know- Taylor smiled- Seems like I got lucky.
- Lucky indeed- Makoto started to smile- I never forgot about Takashi. He was the reason why I kept my spirit going, that and my parents. I wished Takashi would have been available but seeing as he fell in love I must desist.
"For now" was what it felt she was going to say. Taylor didn't believe she was a bitch but seeing as how she seemed to attack her, she thought she was turning into one.
- Ok! Who wants toast?- Mrs. Morinozuka tried to take away the tension between the conversation but things were just starting to brew up. Those two looked at each other like they wanted to kill themselves and Taylor knew if they were to fight physically she would win, but she never was in a verbal fight, and even so she thought she would win.
- I'm full- Makoto said after eating only two pieces of bread a very little egg- You must excuse me, where is the little girl's room?
- Go inside and walk down the hall to the left- Mrs. Morinozuka smiled.
Taylor felt weird. Like a premonition of something bad. When Makoto left she gave her a weird smile that almost made her have chills. What was she up to? There is just something strange in this girl and Taylor could feel she was a great opponent.
- Where is Takashi?- Taylor asked.
- He is the dojo over there- Mrs. Morinozuka pointed to a big building that was near where Makoto had left. That same chill came back again and she just had to control it. Was she with Takashi? She excused herself and went to the dojo.
Inside she saw Takashi practicing with a huge Katana and Taylor felt relieved when she saw he was all alone. Takashi moved with fierceness and agility, just like the day she battled him. The memories came to her head and she smiled. She walked slowly to where he was and he just smiled when he saw her.
- What are you doing here?- he smiled.
- You mother invited me for breakfast- Taylor smiled back- unfortunately she invited Makoto and Selena Sakurada.
- Why unfortunately?
- Makoto was acting really weird. I thought she was this little timid girl, and no offence, but she was a real bitch! She went on and on about you and her destined to marry since you were children. If it weren't for the fact that I am a master of patience I would have jumped on her face!
- Don't worry- he chuckled- I never thought Makoto would do that, but you have nothing to worry about. You have me and that's all that matters. Or don't you trust me?
- Yeah, I trust you! It's Makoto I don't trust!- Taylor went to him and hugged him- If she comes anywhere near you I swear my patience will burst into anger and I am not me when I'm angry.
- I know what you are capable with your hands- he chuckled- I was a victim of it, remember?
- I told you it was an accident!- Taylor turned serious- I never meant to send you to the hospital! You have no idea how worried I was!
- I do. You told me three thousand times and I said it was alright. I like that a girl can defend herself and I don't mind that you beat me at a competition. We all have to have a weakness and my weakness is you.
- Wow, you sounded like Tamaki- Taylor laughed.
- I know right?- Mori laughed with his deep laughter that Taylor always loved. His voice was so southing and a tad rough, like a great wine- I guess I never have the time or even the inspiration to talk with someone. I know I only say monosyllables at the host club, but that's because I don't care to talk to other girls. I never have anything interesting to talk to them. With you, it's different.
- Yeah, with me you're a chatterbox- Taylor chuckled.
- Well believe it or not I feel like I can talk to you about many things. I know you can always listen. Plus you always have a great conversation. With that vicious mouth of yours.
- You know what this vicious mouth wants to do?- Taylor smiled mysteriously.
- Wild guess, kiss me?
- Oh so now you're a psychic?
- No, but I want to do that so I just made a guess- Mori got close to her and kissed her tenderly in her lips. Suddenly they were interrupted by a very loud cough. They separated and saw Satoshi and Yasuchika at the door. Taylor and Mori just blushed and Taylor kissed his cheek.
- I have to go Takashi- Taylor walked to the door and the boys walked inside. As she was leaving she blew Takashi a kiss and Takashi just stood serious as the two boys looked at him. She giggled and left.
As she was walking down the hall she suddenly heard a conversation. The conversation was getting louder and louder as she kept on walking until she found out who was talking.
- I told you this plan won't work!- a voice was heard.
- You shut up girl! It has to work!- Another voice was heard.
Taylor got closer, just enough to see who was talking without being caught. She saw Makoto and Noriko talking. Noriko was grabbing Makoto very tight from her arm. Makoto only looked at her scared.
- How are you so sure? Just because you say that I'm Makoto and have some identical things that automatically gets me in? I don't even think they believe I am her! This is a mistake! I'm not her!
- Bite your tongue!- Noriko grabbed her tighter- For what ever matters, they believe that you are her and we don't need them to know that it's not true! Imagine it! You can have a fortune in your hands and be treated like a queen! All you have to do is pretend you are her!
- I don't know. Its wrong and their daughter may even be dead. This is wrong and maybe even illegal.
- Look, all you have to do is pretend that you are Makoto Sakurada. And you what else you need to do?- Noriko asked her and Makoto only shook her head- Seduce Takashi Morinozuka!
