Betraying Innocence
A/N: Wheeee~ ^-^ Thank you for the reviews! Glad everybody liked the fic... now, on with it!
Oh, and also... is the summary for this fic a little to misleading? -.- Only hints at Takari, when there's other things involved...
Chapter 2: Questions and Answers
"Takeru..."
Hikari stiffened, and realized what she must've looked really weird with her shoulders hunched and arms around herself. She straightened her composure, and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. Might as well talk to him, she thought to herself.
But before she had a chance to actually step into the gym, Takeru had caught sight of her.
"Hikari!" He jogged slowly up to her with a big smile on his face. "Hi."
She smiled at him. "Hey, just wanted to see what you were doing after school."
"Did you want to go somewhere?" Takeru looked at her with a questioning expression.
"Erm... no," Hikari backed away from him a little. "I actually have plans." It was a lie.
Takeru had a surprised look on his face, "oh..." His expression then turned quite serious. "Listen, Hikari. I don't know why you ignored me after... last time, but I really missed you. And I really think we should talk sometime. In private. Call me... or even better, come over. My mom's out of town on a busiess trip, so we'll be alone." He smiled at her.
"Oi! Hikariiiiii! Takeruuuuu!!"
Both heads turned towards the new voice, and both Hikari and Takeru sighed.
"Daisuke," Hikari turned and smiled at him. "Haven't seen you much over the summer..."
Daisuke had reached the two by now, he had obviously just came back from a game of soccer; looking quite exhausted, but like he had had the best time of his life.
He smiled sheepishly at both of them. "Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it? Damn soccer camp...! But not really, it was quite fun."
"Was that where you were all summer?" Takeru spoke up.
Daisuke nodded in return.
"Takeru!" All three heads turned towards the door opening. It was Chizumi again. She came over quite nonchanatly, and grabbed Takeru's arm without throwing one glance at Hikari or Daisuke. "Come ooooooon," she said in a whining voice, "I want you to see the new cheer I came up with, it's all for you!"
"Eh..." Takeru looked back and forth between Chizumi and the other two.
"Come on Hikari," Daisuke shot Takeru a dirty look, "if you aren't busy, let's go find Miyako and get some drinks at Kiriri's."
"Miyako's meeting up with Ken this afternoon," Hikari replied. "But I would do anything to get out of this heat," she shaded her eyes and looked up at the afternoon sun. "A smoothie would sure help, shall we go?"
"Yeah!" Daisuke grinned at her.
"Bye Takeru!" Hikari waved and started walking off with Daisuke.
"Ah... Hikari! Don't forget about what I said!" Takeru managed to yell out before being pulled into the gym completely by Chimizu.
With a last glance at the gym's back exit, Hikari turned around and followed Daisuke off school campus. "I won't..." she said very quietly to herself. Her eyes looked dark and lost.
And despite what Hikari was telling herself not to do, she knew that that night, she would be standing in front of Takeru's door, in her best getup, ringing the doorbell.
----------
Koushiro stared in shock at his... at his... well, at his waitress! Who obviously had the same appearance as a mysterious friend from the summer.
"Lily... what are you doing here?"
The opened mouthed waitress closed and opened her mouth and tried to speak, looking like a goldfish blowing bubbles into the water. Realizing that it was impossible, she turned around and attempted to flee.
"Wait!" Koushiro grabbed her wrist in a firm grip before she could take another step.
She turned around and glared at him. "Don't think I don't have that shoulderbag hidden up my sleeve somewhere, I could still whip you good."
Koushiro chuckled. "She talks!" he said in a fakely surprised way. "And I doubt it, you don't seem to have any sleeves." Saying this, he looked over Lily in her sleeveless maid-like uniform that would only belong to Kiriri's waitress.
Lily looked down and averted eye contact with Koushiro. "What do you want?"
"Take a seat." He waved his hand over the seat across from him.
Lily sighed and sat down. "I'm not suppose to interact much with customers," she said matter-of-factly.
"Don't be long," Koushiro said breezely. "I just want to know why you're here when you should be in America, living next to wherever Mimi lives, and..." he looked at his watch, "...in your bed sleeping, since it's about 4 am over there."
"Well, remember when we went to the Kiriri's in Odaiba?" Lily shot him a smile. "Well, it was my first time ever going there, and I fell in love with it sooooo." She waved her arms dramatically in the air as if this was a life changing event. "And when it came time for me to leave, I saw all the Kiriri's in Tokyo and saw that one of them was hiring, and oh-so-miraclously, I got the job! Of course I had to stay here, I get discounts with free coffee too!"
Koushiro sighed and rubbed his hands over his face, it was quite obviously a lie to cover up something, but it was no use trying to beat it out of her right now. "Do you already have a place to live?"
"Uh... no. I've been aparment hunting these days!" Lily stuck up one finger in the air, and said this. "Kiriri's has such good pay! And I can actually afford to pay for my hotel room for the next couple of weeks."
Koushiro started at her. "That's it. You're coming back to Odaiba with me."
"WHAT?!" Lily slammed both her hands down on the table. "No. Way."
"No way is right. There is no way I'm leaving some girl who's unfamiliar with Japan in the midsts of Tokyo by herself. And you don't even have a place for yourself either! You're coming back with me."
"No I'm not." Lily retorted.
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
This went on for another 15 minutes before Lily's boss came over and fired her.
Koushiro had felt happy that he had won this fight. But that was before Lily sunk a fist into his face that would result in a black eye for many weeks.
----------
Miyako walked down the hallways of her school. It was Friday, and she was extra bouncy and extra happy. Her get-together with Ken on Monday helped alot. He had given her the good news that his parents were slowly changing their minds about his university choices, since they wanted him close to home. Miyako had been estastic when she heard the news. She wasn't about to lose one of her best friends. She was going to meet up with Ken again on Saturday to help him fill out an application to OdaibaU.
Hikari and Takeru both seemed much happier also. They had both seemed pretty down on the first day of school... Hikari during lunch, and Takeru during World History class.
And what was better, Koushiro was coming back on Sunday! She had missed her other good friend alot.
Life, as it seemed, was slowly settling back down and going just the way Miyako wanted it to.
-----
"Ughh... who could it be at this hour?" Miyako sat up groggily at the sound of a knock at the door and looked at her alarm clock. 1:37AM, it read. Cursing under her breath, Miyako slowly got out of the warm and comfort of her bed and made her way towards the front door. Her younger siblings were out at a friend's house for the night, and her parents slept like rocks. So Miyako walked lightly through her family's apartment, careful not to wake her parents. She stepped up to the door and peeked through the peephole. Letting out a gasp, Miyako quickly stepped back and opened the door.
"Hikari! Wh-what are you doing here? And at this hour!"
Hikari looked at Miyako with a sad expression in her eyes. Her hair was tussled and messy, but she was wearing a cute outfit that seemed like she had been out partying or something. Miyako examined Hikari's clothes that consisted of faded flared jeans, strappy sandals, and a white half-sleeved button-down shirt with a collar that clung to her body in all the right places. The shirt seemed to be hastly buttoned, as the top two remained opened, and the others all seemed to be bottoned on the wrong hole. Hikari's hair was held up away from her face with little clips that were falling out.
"Miyako..." Hikari said in a small voice. "Do you mind if I stay the night?"
"Sure, sure," Miyako stepped back and allowed Hikari into the apartment. "But you had better explain yourself."
-----
Miyako reached into the fridge and brought out two cans of soda and two packs of cream cake. She lightly balanced them on her hands, and started walking back to her room. At that moment, the answer machine beeped. Her parents always turned the ring off at night, so Miyako had no idea who was calling.
"God, this night just gets better and better," she muttered to herself under her breath. Life was totally NOT going the way she wanted it to.
"Miyako?" the answering machine started recording a whispered voice. "It's me, Koushiro. I know your parents turn off the ring at night, so I'm not really bothering you, right? Sorry about this late-night call, but I've been driven up the wall here by a friend of mine... she refuses to talk to me about anything and I've really been dying to tell you about the convention. Yes, even your answering machine. Oh yeah, I'm coming back a day early, so maybe I'll see you tomorrow night! Anyways, about the convention, I saw the new model for..." Koushiro went on to ramble about the various new computer models he saw and something else about the new friend of his.
Miyako sighed, she couldn't really pick up the phone with her hands full, so she ignored Koushiro's message and walked into her room. Hikari needed her more at this time.
"Alright, explain." She looked down at Hikari sitting in a pair of pajamas borrowed from her, and handed her a soda and cream cake.
Hikari sighed. "Miyako... Takeru and I, well..."
