Yeah! Reviews make me very happy.it causes me to write more and faster.
They are very gooood.
I felt the need to clarify something.that whole Isaac Newton comment from chappy 2. Its been a while since I've had a science class but I believe Isaac Newton was the scientist that had the fixation with apples. He preformed some experiment with his son that involved shooting and apple off his head or something like that. There is a very high probability I could be wrong.lol. I just like the idea of K shooting apples off of Hiro's head.
Don't ask.
So on with the Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation.blah, blah, blah.can't even afford a Kumagoro.blah, blah, blah.
This gets old fast (
So 5 o'clock came and went. By the time I got to the lobby, Mika and Tatsuha were already waiting. I wasn't really surprised by Tatsuha's presence.this was his sister too after all, but I was a little thrown by his appearance. He was decked out in a typical Japanese school uniform, all in black, his collar undone. For once, he actually looked like a 17 year old.
I watched the pair for a moment before making my presence known. Mika was just standing there.arms crossed staring at one of the new promotional banners for Nittle Grasper. She looked like she was bored silly. But then again, she always looked like that.
Tatsuha, on the other hand, looked like he was ready to bust. He was tracing the cracks in the floor with the tip of his shoe, his brow furrowed in deep concentration.
He was wearing the same look that Yuki gets when he's writing his novel, minus the cigarette.
"Hiya Tatsuha!" I greeted, putting on my best genki face. "Mika-san, you're looking well."
Mika merely glared at me in response, making me shiver. I got the distinct feeling that I was unwanted. And as if to confirm it, Mika tossed her hair over her should and resumed her dissection of the banner.
'Okay, that was obsessively cold.' I mused.
"Don't worry too much about it.I'm pretty sure she has that post- premenstratal disease," Tatsuha laughed, interrupting my thoughts. "Its called post-pardum, you baka. If you are going to insult me, at least get the terminology right," she huffed.never taking her eyes off the banner.
'That's right, she just had a baby not too long ago.what did they name her? Kikyo?' I was trying to recollect the name that Tohma had given their new daughter. I smiled to myself. I remember the day Tohma and Mika had announced that there was going to be a new addition to the Seguchi household. I don't think I have ever seen Yuki laugh that hard.
"So Shu-chan, oneechan said that you're going to be joining us this afternoon." I turned to Tatsuha and was met by his beaming face. Normally, Tatsuha's smiles resembled smirks.even when he was being genuine. I guess it was a Uesugi family trait.
Today his smile looked more like an excited 5 year old on Christmas morning.
"Hai, Tatsuha-kun. I just was told myself this afternoon."
"You'll like my sister."
I hung my head. "Really? I don't know anything about her other than the pictures Yuki showed me last night."
"That's just like my aniki, he loves to be selfish with her," he pouted.
"Tatsuha, what is your sister.."
"Is everyone ready to go?" Tohma's voice made me jump. For the second time today, my question regarding information on Mirei was cut short.
I guess it must have been the face I made, because as we headed out of the building I felt Tatsuha grab my arm.
"Don't worry Shu-kun. I'll fill you in on the way there."
I smiled, interlacing my arm with Tatsuha's. 'Finally some answers!'
So this is what I was able to gleam from what Tatsuha managed to tell me (Mika kept turning around every 5 minutes to see what we were doing since we were whispering).
Mirei is 16. She is exactly 11 months and 4 days younger than Tatsuha. She looks like Yuki except she's sort of on the short side..a little under Mika's height I think.
She was sent to New York about 7 years ago to go to a school called 'Yu-ri- a-do' I think (AN:Juillard for all of you that can speak the king's English). It was a special music school, apparently she had been playing the violin since she was 5. He said she had received a special acceptance (Tohma's doing no doubt) since she was so young.
Since then, she had learned to play the piano, guitar, harp, and a few instruments that he couldn't remember the names to.He said she was a real pro.
I was impressed to say the least. No wonder Yuki always said my music was crap. Growing up with someone like that left little room for the competition.
She also knew how to speak French, English, and Spanish fluently. Top of her class, student council president 3 year running, and had graduated two years early.
Now she was coming home.
If I could have melted into the smooth leather of Tohma's backseat, I would of. Before I was merely nervous about meeting this mysterious sister, I was now officially petrified.
"I think you guys are gonna get along great," Tatsuha had told me, eyes sparkling. "Trust me."
So here I was, standing in front of customs with Tohma, Mika, and Tatsuha. No Yuki in sight. I would think, at least he would have come. He seemed so.excited?.'Yuki is never excited about anything' I thought to myself. It was probably more anxious than anything else.
Suddenly Tatsuha nudged me in the ribs with his elbow. "Hey Shu-chan, got a load of that."
I followed his line of sight until I saw who he was talking about. It was Yuki! In my glee I almost ran over to him, but then I remembered he would probably not be too happy to see me.
"Kami, my brother is such a kiss-ass," I heard Tatsuha mumble as I took a better look at Yuki. He was carrying a rather large bouquet of what looked like white lilies.
'Yuki bought her flowers.' I was amazed.
As if my thoughts set off some internal 'Shuichi Dectector', I saw Yuki turn around. He glared through me.
"What is he doing here," Yuki demanded from Tohma.
*Shrug* "She wanted him to come and she knew you would be stubborn."
"So that's why you wanted to take separate cars." "Actually, that's because you will be taking home your cousins," Mika said, interrupting the two blonde artists.
"No way in hell."
"Oh yes way in hell."
"She didn't say anything to me."
"That's because she knew you would be stubborn," Mika smirked in response.
'So not only am I going to met Yuki's sister, but his cousins as well?' I felt Tatsuha's hand on my shoulder once again. He was trying to be reassuring but I really didn't think much could calm me now.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP WHUP WHUP WHUP*
The five of us turned simultaneously towards the field of metal detectors that littered the entrance/exit of customs. There were three people, two girls and one boy, being surrounded by security guards. The boy was wearing blue slacks, while the two girls were outfitted in navy pleated skirts, all three wearing forest green blazers with some sort of emblem of the pocket and white buttoned down shirts.
"Oh Kami, they just couldn't behave for 5 more minutes," I heard Mika groan.
That's when I noticed Mirei.
I mean, it was kind of hard not to notice her with the crowd that growing around her and her two cousins. She definitely looked like Yuki, same hair, same face, even the same glasses I think.
But there was also something very unique about her.
Maybe it was the long wavy blonde hair picked up loosely on the sides, or the glasses sliding down the bridge of her nose with her shirt untucked, one knee-high slouched down to her ankle, and to top off the look she was walking on the back of her brown penny-loafers.
Or possibly the fact that she was laughing.
That could definitely be the difference.
She, along with her companions were taking these silver disks out from the pockets of their jackets, handing them to the security guards, all three trying to keep their composure.
I looked over at Tatsuha only to find him doubled over on the floor laughing.
And if I didn't know any better, I could swear I saw Yuki chuckle.
Mika didn't find it very funny though. So as she stalked over to the center of the ruckus, the rest of us had no choice but to follow her lead.
"MIREI!" Mika hissed, fake smile plastering her face. "What are you doing?"
"Oro?" Mirei replied, looking up innocently at her big sister. A long piece of blond hair chose this moment to break free of the confinements of her clip and make its way down her face.
That's when I lost it.
"Don't 'oro' me young lady. Do you have any idea what kind of a scene you are making?"
"Scene, oneechan?" *blink,blink*
"Don't you dare start."
"Oro?" *blink,blink*
By this time, Tatsuha and I were on the floor in hysterics. The group just kept pulling out those silver disks.like if it were some bizarre magic trick. Mika was ready to draw blood, Tohma soothingly stroking her arm (and failing miserably to get his wife to calm down), and Yuki, he had his hand over his mouth, covering a smile I knew was there.
"Mi-chan.don't you think its enough?" a more composed Yuki asked.
Mirei blinked a few times, I was almost sure another 'oro' was about to slip out and if it did, I couldn't guarantee the dryness of Tatsuha's or my pants. Instead she squealed.
"ONIICHAN!" Finally realizing her older brother was here. She took one step as if she was preparing to glomp him, when she was met by the outstretched hand of the security guard.
"Sumimasen.you still haven't past through clearance."
Mirei looked confused for a moment, nodded to herself as if she understood what the guard was talking about, and slipped her school jacket off. It landed on the floor with a large 'CLANK'.
We all stared at her wide-eyed.'How many of those disks did she have in there'.
She doubled round through the metal detectors, silently this time, waved at the security guards and took a running leap into Yuki's waiting arms.
"Ei-chan, were you waiting long? Nobody liked your present so it took me extra long to get to you," she pouted, pointing to the discarded jacket on the floor.
I watched Yuki's stoic face crack as his eyebrow raised. "And what exactly are those things, Mi-chan?"
"Coasters."
"Coasters?"
"Yep. From your favorite restaurant in New York."
"Ah. You stole them?"
"Yep. Just for oniichan."
"Why so many?"
"It was fun."
"Ah."
"What, I don't get a hug too?" Tatsuha pouted. Mirei simply turned to him and gave him the biggest, sloppiest kiss on the cheek I have ever heard. "Gee, thanks sis," he laughed as he wiped his face.
I watched Yuki and Mirei in silence. She was hanging on him in a loose hug. He hadn't pulled his arms away. It was strange but I couldn't help to feel jealous. Yuki was rarely this affectionate and never in public.
"Oro, you brought him?"
I jumped as two gold eyes suddenly popped in front of my face. She was bent at the waist, practically upside down, Yuki was still holding her.
"Oh you have such a darling face!" she squeaked as she slid out of Yuki's grasp. "She turned to me and winked. "I like him oniichan."
"You like everyone Mirei," Yuki chuckled as he gently mussed her hair.
She stuck her tongue out in response and grabbed me by the arm. "Ne, Shu- chan.lets go.we have lots and lots to talk about," she smiled warmly. It was the same smile I saw in those pictures. Except, this was real-life.
With Tatsuha on one arm, me on the other, we headed in the direction of the car, practically skipping all the way.
I looked over at Tatsuha and caught his smile. It was almost if he was say 'See, I told you so'.
As the sliding doors opened, I turned to see Mika, Tohma, Yuki, and Mirei's two cousins following us. "Shu-chan," I felt her whisper in my ear, "Things are about to get fun."
She turned to wink at her two cousins who just laughed in response.
'I don't know about fun.but things are definitely going to be more interesting from now on.'
*sweatdrops* okay so the little sister is a tad goofy, I know.but I do have a plan for this.there is a method to my madness
