Chapter 11
2D was sweating like a maniac waiting for the judge to say who won. "I have come to a decision," he said. The anxiety was going to overflow 2D's body.
"And that decision is..."
2D watched the clock, time slowed down and maybe even stopped for a second or two. His grip became so tight on Noodle's hand.
"Noodle will be going home to Japan."
"NO!" 2D let go of Noodle's hand and jumped over the ptodeum and then stormed over to the judge. "Th's is not fair!" he screamed.
"I'm the judge, sir. The decision is not up to you!"
"Bu' look'it 'er! Look 'ow sad she is!" 2D pointed to Noodle, who watched him rant with tears staining her face.
"It's my decision sir!" The judge raised his voice. "It is a final decision, and you need to either agree with me or just deal with it!" The judge left his podeum and went to Noodle, took her hand and pulled her away. 2D grabbed her other hand. The judge pulled back. "Can' I say goodbye?" 2D asked. No response.
Noodle looked back at 2D and sniffed. She agreed with 2D, this wasn't fair, it was stupid! She tried struggling out, but Mr. Tanaka's grip was very strong around her small wrists. She looked back with tears flowing out of her emerald eyes at her three friends waving goodbye. She turned her head again and dropped her head, her purple locks falling over her eyes. Some strands of hair stuck to her face. Never in her life was she ever so heartbroken. She was guided out of the courthouse and into a shiny black car, which drove to the coastline where she was then lead into a small airplane to take her home to Japan.
Meanwhile, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc silently exited the courtroom and entered yet another shiny black car headed for an airplane at the coast. The entire flight to their new homes was dead silent, save for 2D sobbing occasionally or muttering curses under his breath. They were handed keys for their houses when they landed, but the three men stayed inside the rest of the day.
Noodle's plane touched down in Japan finally. A group of children of different ages and both boys and girls greeted her cheerfully. She faked a smile, and was lead back to the orphanage while they kept questioning her. Noodle didn't have time to answer, so the only thing she could say was, "Sod off!"
Because she was the only one who knew English well, the others didn't know what she said.
"Was that supposed to be an insult?" one girl asked.
"I think it was," another said.
As Noodle entered her room again, the familliar sweet scent of cherries filled her nose and relaxed her. She kicked off her shoes and sat in the window alcove and sobbed into her knees. Not much longer later, a familiar masculine voice called her name. "Why are you crying?"
"I blew it," Noodle responded. "I blew it. I met the most amazing guy, and I'm not even allowed to see him!"
"That's horrible!" Aiji definetly seemed interested. "What was his name?"
"S...Stuart...he's English, and though odd looking, he was just the sweetest guy I've ever met. Offered me food and everything."
"Well...what did he look like?"
"He was very tall...and he had blue hair-"
"Blue?"
"Hai, blue. And he had these huge black eyes, and he was pale..."
"He sounds like he's gone mad."
"No, he was a little older, but only by six years..."
"Noodle, I feel bad. I'd help but Kimi is smarter than I thought. I had to scrub the floors till my hands fell off."
"Ugh. I really regret ever running away."
2D sat on the roof and puffed another cigarette. He had avoided the whole week without smokes, and it was going well too. The moonlight danced in the ocean waves with the stars. Suddenly an ingenious plan hit him. He was going to go to Japan.
A couple weeks passed since the foursome parted. Noodle looked in her mirror as she slid on a blue dress with white lace everywhere. "I hate this," she muttered.
"Noodle?" Kimi. The last person Noodle wanted to see right now.
"Nani?"
"You have a visitor."
"A...a visitor?"
"Follow me."
Noodle didn't even put her shoes on, she just followed Kimi to the front door of the orphanage. In the open doorway stood a tall man wearing a hat. Noodle's face took on a puzzled look at this obscure man at first, but then her face lit up like a thousand fireflies when she realized who this man was.
