Chapter 11

Engagement

Hello!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who wanted me to keep on updating. I truly love you all.

As a token of my appreciation I have put together a special chapter for you all.

Chiyo and Tora finally get officially engaged.

Spoiler Alert!

Takumisa have a very romantic moment, and a surprising twist to Misaki's life is revealed.

Enjoy~

Takumi jerked forward slightly as the car came to a halt in front of the hotel. Takumi looked up at the hotel from the car window. Surprisingly unlike all the other five star hotels where they served foreign food, this one served only Asian food. When Takumi had asked Tora as to why he chose this one, he merely shrugged and said it was Chiyo's choice.

Takumi opened the car and stepped out. Another limo pulled over and out came Chiyo. Tora practically ran to her as they exchanged their greetings and affection.

He offered her his arm and she eagerly placed her hand inside it. Takumi couldn't help but smile.

Him and Tora weren't as close as many believed, however they did get along fairly well. Takumi was truly happy for his friend.

Just then something hit Takumi.

All the kids he knew were acquainted with Chiyo in USA were here except for her. Where could she be? He was looking forward to seeing her. Especially since he chose her dress personally. Everyone wore the same color and same designs. Tora;s family was paying for them all and since Misaki was chiyo's best friend Tora wanted to make hers different. Chiyo's as well.

So Takumi practically begged Tora to let him choose Misaki's dress. And he thought he did pretty well.

Takumi chose to stay positive and jogged inside the hotel maybe she was there.

But to his disappointment no she wasn't.

Takumi was begin to sulk when something rather funny caught his attention. No one would allow Tora to dance with Chiyo.

All the girls from Chiyo's school kept tugging Tora away from her and danced with him on e by one.

Sakura was the last to let go of Tora and when Tora thought they could finally be together something peculiar happened and Takumi's eyes widened.

Misaki raven hair practically swiped at his face as she pulled Tora away to the dance floor.

But what was even more amusing was her dress. He had chose a beautiful red and white dress for her. It was a two piece. The top was red with silver designs all over it. It stopped at her abdomen.

The skirt was white. It was up to her knees in the front and to her ankles in the back. She looked like an angel almost.

Takumi felt jealousy course through him as he watched Tora's arms around Misaki. He was so busy looking at them that he didn't see Chiyo screeching because her best friend was being cruel to her at her engagement party.

But after a while Misaki let go of Torah as he fell into Chiyo's arms.

Misaki took a bow and left. But at that moment Takumi had seen some sort of sadness in her eyes. He decided to follow her to the balcony. He closed the balcony doors to give them both some privacy.

He walked over towards her and stood behind her.

For a moment he watched her. She seemed so calm as she looke dup at the moonlight. Just like during their talk in USA.

"What do you want?" She asked. Takumi shrugged and stood next to her.

"Upset?" he asked. At first she hesitated but then nodded.

"You'll be fine," he told her. She only managed a small smile.

"Why do you think so?" she asked.

"Because you're a kind person. And kind people always find happiness." She didn't quite understand him but regardless nodded. They stood there. Letting the wind breeze past them.

Takum then extended out his hand. She looked at it questioningly. "Want to dance?" he asked She managed a small smile and slipped her hand inside his.

So they danced. He lead her across the balcony as the music from the ballroom reached them. He smiled at her but she only looked towards the moon.

"Why does Chiyo like this place?" At first Misaki was confused at his question but then shrugged.

"My father owns this place," she told him. With that Takumi let go of her.

"Y-your father?" He asked. Misaki nodded. He looked at her like she were a ghost. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair as his eyes widened.

"Your father owns a business?" Misaki hesitantly nodded.

"Your mother too?"

"She owns an entire art company," Misaki explained. Takumi looked past her at the moonlight.

He didn't expect this. He didn't. He looked at her. She was strong and yet fragile. He had no other choice.

He walked away from her.

Misaki watched him leave.

"H-hey," she touched his arm. He yanked it away. "Don't come near me," he demanded.

With that he left her in the balcony all on her own.

Loud cheers erupted as Tora and Chiyo exchanged rings. Misaki clapped for her friend but would occasionally glance at Takumi who had a blank expression on his face. Misaki's was rather sad at the sight.

The time to bid farewell came and Misaki bowed to Tora and Chiyo who were leaving together.

She glanced at Takumi who was staring at her.

But he probably didn't feel the same way she did so she forced herself to look away and step into her own car.

Love was cruel anyway.

He was the last person she should consider feelings for.

Vague. I know. But I'm super tired, and can't find myself writing something good.
