I hate saying this but… standard disclaimers applied. And as for the
reviews, thank you very much! I appreciate it. ^_______^ And, as for the
wrong guesses, better luck next time, Cookie, Rurouni. Your guesses were
close though. And, I can tell we can be good friends! ^__________^ Keep up
with your fics! I'll be reviewing it! Now, on with the story!
"Who is it?" Miyuki asked a she approached Rukawa.
Rukawa gulped. "… To-san… ka-san…." His father looked at him and noticed his bandaged arm.
"What happened to you?" he said, pointing to his son's arm.
"Oh my god… you've been fighting again, haven't you?" his mother said.
"It's nothing serious. I didn't actually fight." He blurted. Mr. and Mrs. Rukawa both lifted an eyebrow, demanding a clearer explanation. Then, Miyuki came to his rescue.
"Auntie! Uncle! Welcome back!" She said.
"Miyuki." Mrs. Rukawa smiled and greeted while Rukawa's dad just gave a slight nod. "Well, at least, someone can greet people politely than just freeze like a snowman." Mrs. Rukawa said sarcastically and hugged Miyuki. Then, she saw Mitsui who had bandages all over his arms, legs and abdomen. "Oh my… Kaede dear, you didn't fight with him did you?" she said narrowing her eyes towards her son. Rukawa just shook his head vigorously.
Mitsui smiled inwardly at the sight before him. Rukawa was not good in talking. Not even with his parents but he sure bear a huge resemblance, no, scratch that, he looks exactly like his father but, a younger version of course. They even have the same attitude – too quiet! Mitsui's been listening to nothing except for Mrs. Rukawa's and Miyuki's voice ever since Rukawa's parents came. 'Yep. They're identical, all right. In and out.' Mitsui thought. But his train of thoughts was interrupted when Miyuki called his name.
"And this was that endangered friend, Mitsui Hisashi."
"Oh… do be careful next time. Okay?" Mrs.Rukawa said. "You never know when those psychos will strike you."
"Uh… yes, ma'am." 'Man… are all parents like this?!' he thought, reminded by his parents who did nothing but scold him day in, day out. 'Sigh I guess my parents are overprotective…' That's when something snapped. 'Oh my god…' he looked at the grandfather clock and it read: 8.05. "Hey! Rukawa!" He cried out, alarmed. All 3 Rukawas turned to him. "I mean…uh… that Rukawa?" He said, pointing at the young Rukawa sheepishly. Mr. and Mrs. Rukawa just nodded and went back to their conversation with Miyuki.
"What?" Said the monotoned Rukawa.
"Look, I need you to help me call my parents."
"What?! No way."
"Please! Just call and say I'm in your house."
"You do it. They're your parents."
"Come on… please?" Mitsui pleaded.
"No," Rukawa replied, folding his arms across his chest. "Either you tell them or you don't"
Mitsui knitted his eyebrows and glared at Rukawa. "Fine! Who needs your help anyway?!" Mitsui said angrily and stormed out of Rukawa's mansion.
'I thought you did… do'aho…' Rukawa sighed and pretended as if nothing happened.
Miyuki went out of the kitchen. "Hey. Where's Mitsui-san?"
Rukawa shrugged innocently. "Home?" he suggested. Miyuki narrowed her eyes and looked at Rukawa.
"Oh no… you didn't chase him out did you?" She asked sternly.
"I don't know. He stormed out." Just as Rukawa finished his sentence, the doorbell rang and Miyuki went to answer it.
" Gasp Mitsui-san! Come in." she said and pulled him in.
"Uh, no thanks, Miyuki. I just wanna get something I left." He said sheepishly avoiding eye contact with Rukawa but tried to be polite.
"Don't be silly! You still need to rest!" Miyuki said. "You can stay here as long as you like or… should I say my house. Wouldn't want to bother the family reunion, you know."
Rukawa fully agreed until his mother suddenly said, "You're no bother at all, dear. Do stay. We can all have dinner together. Mitsui, is it?" she said turning to Mitsui.
"Y..yes ma'am?" He's never talked to rich people before so, he was quite nervous. Heck, he didn't even know if he should actually address her as ma'am. It sounded so lame. It rhymes! (Must be influenced by a fic somewhere.@__@)
"You can join us can't you?"
"Um…well… I'd love to but…I should let my parents know of my whereabouts… and…" he shifted uncomfortably.
"Is that so? Don't worry. We'll explain to your parents when we reach your house." Replied the happy-go-lucky-mom.
"You would?" Mitsui couldn't believe his ears! Lady Luck finally decided to shine on him. "Why… I have no problem then!" he boldly replied. Mrs. Rukawa grinned at him. (While Mr. Rukawa just did a 'hmph' and a slight smile.)
'WHAT?!!!' Rukawa turned and gave his mother a 'You're-joking-right?' look. He just got a 'Behave-yourself!' look from his mom in return.
"Wow!! This is great! Mitsui-san actually joining us for dinner! Where to?" Miyuki practically squealed in delight.
"How about the restaurant we passed near the beach?" Mr. Rukawa suggested. Mitsui noticed that was the second and longest sentence he said since he came.
"That's a great idea! Dinner near the beach can relax you and make you heal faster."
"Well, I'm all for it!" Mitsui was plain excited. It's not everyday he get rescued, wake up in a palace-like mansion and get treated for dinner! Man, he's lucky!
Miyuki smiled at his behavior. She's been living in a white dream world; go to a super-prestigious school, hang out in first class stores, get everything she wants and most of all, had stuck up, snobbish, spoilt brats who think they own the world as friends. So, she was glad to finally meet a plain and simple guy like Mitsui. In simple English, she's an uptown girl and he's a downtown guy.
~ -Uptown Girl song starts to play- ~
After a little preparation, they were ready to leave.
"Which car should we use, sir?" Asked the chauffeur. Mr.Rukawa took a hundred dollar bill (convert it to yen to whoever knows the exchange rate) and gave it to the chauffeur.
"Go out and take a break, Manson."
"Thank you very much sir." He bowed slightly and left.
"So, which car?" Mr. Rukawa asked his wife. "BMW? Posche? Mercedes? Jaguar?"
Mrs. Rukawa giggled. "Any car which can bring us all to our destination, unnoticed and in one piece, love."
Mr. Rukawa thought for a moment."… Let's take Yaris then. Shall we?" he extended his arm in a groom style and Mrs. Rukawa locked her hand with her husband's. Mitsui blushed slightly at the sight of the couple. Hey, it might seem like a normal gesture to the high-standard people but not to people like Mitsui!
'Ha,ha… I guess this is what they meant by "Rich people do weird things"…' he thought.
Beside him, Miyuki sighed. "They're so romantic… how I wish I can be like them one day." And she followed the Rukawas. Mitsui can't help but stare at her as she walked to the car. The car's sudden honk made him jump slightly.
"Are you coming or what?" Mitsui couldn't tell who it was; Rukawa or his father. Even their voices were the same. Mitsui started to wonder if Rukawa's so called dad is actually his twin brother. 'Possible…yet… impossible…' He went into the car and sat near the window. Rukawa was on the other side while Miyuki was in between both of them. The parents were on the passenger and driver's seats (Duh!!). It was quiet for 5 minutes since the journey started. Until Rukawa's mom broke the silence.
"Miyuki-chan?" She said.
"Yes, auntie."
"Your parents told us to tell you they send their love and they're sorry for not being able to come along." Mrs. Rukawa continued.
"Oh… that's… too bad." Miyuki replied. A tinge of disappointment present in her voice. Suddenly she felt a strong hand squeezing her shoulder. She looked to her right and saw it was Mitsui. Mitsui gave an 'It's-all-right' look. Instantly, she felt light-hearted and a blush slowly formed on her cheeks. Thank god it was dark and he wasn't able to see her face clearly. Other wise, it would have been very embarrassing. Then, she felt a head resting on her left shoulder. She looked and saw Rukawa sleeping. She just smiled and shook her head but didn't do anything to wake the sleeping ice prince. Mitsui turned a little green…
