Chapter Three - Home is where the heart lies
The plane had just landed in Tokyo. Tsukushi reluctantly opened her eyes and stretched before hauling her hand-carry back off the compartment.
"Earth to Starr," Melissa's voice twinkled.
"Beat me will ya. I need to sleep." Tsukushi yawned. "And it's Tsukushi here kay?"
"Whatever. You are too paranoid 'bout the Tsukasa or whatever." Melissa muttered.
They stepped off the plane into a big hallway. They stepped towards the conveyer belt and hauled their even heavier bags off.
"Of all places in the world, Kin had to pick a place where I left my past behind." Tsukushi said softly. Kin was the owner of the world-known modeling agency, Autumn. She had been a fabulous mentor to both Tsukushi and Melissa.
"Kushi," Melissa started.
"Mel. Kushi is what a very good friend of mine called me last time. Please. Tsukushi or Starr, whatever. "
"Kay. I just don't know why you're so temperamental," muttered Melissa.
The stepped towards the immigration point and handed their passports in.
**************************************************************************** **************** "Though, you'd have to admit. Kin is pretty generous," Melissa said in awe as they looked around the plush surroundings of the Maple.
Kin had indeed picked an extremely costly hotel for them. A glass of coke cost $5 there. But, you'd have to admit. Kin was rich enough to splurge on her employees.
A bellboy took their luggage to their suite on the 20th floor. They tipped him and started unpacking.
"Oh ya. Forgot to tell you. Kin said you'd have a choice of staying in Japan to work or going back to London. She's opening a branch here. "
"Um, well, I'm not quite sure. I'll decide later. Anyway, wanna do sight- seeing? I could be your tour guide."
"Really?" Melissa gushed. "That's so cool!!"
Tsukushi just grinned.
**************************************************************************** **************** "Hey, wanna stop by Genki Sushi to try some? It's kinda good, you know. You'd have to get use to the Japanese taste if I decide to live here." Tsukushi teased.
"The taste is just so. fishy?" Melissa made a pout. "Besides, there's always Burger King and Mac's. So why bother adapting?"
Tsukushi sighed for the umpteen time as her friend made another dig at Japan's most special food.
**************************************************************************** ****************
It was five hours since they left their hotel for a tour round Japan. The sun was scorching and threatened to give everyone a sunburn.
Carrying many heavy bags of clothes and accessories, Tsukushi and Melissa walked down the aisle of the road with much difficulty.
"Aahhh!" Melissa screamed as she tripped over a battered toy car. Bags went flying everywhere.
"Miss, do you need any help?"
Tsukushi looked up at the sound of the voice.
"Hanazawa Rui?"
"Tsukushi? Wow. I never thought I'd see someone who abandoned us two years ago would come back so rich and famous. Your photos are everywhere. " Rui reply sarcastically.
"I'm-I'm sorry. I am really busy. I have to go." Tsukushi rushed.
She was about to pull Melissa who already got onto her feet when someone suddenly gripped her arm.
She was about to say "Rui, cut that out!" when she saw a very familiar figure. In fact, two other familiar figures where right behind them.
"Tsukasa," she breathed.
**************************************************************************** **************** Just thought I'd add some excitement into Tsukushi's humdrum life. How?
