Chapter ~2~ Surprise, Surprise; What Are You Doing Here!?
~Ryo~
Sitting beside Ruki seems to have ruined his excited, menacing mod for math, so he slept through it. Finally it's over and the gang was heading to their club's room for practice, their school was really big so they didn't even make it through the halls yet.
"What are we doing today, anyway." Ryo asked Jenrya, whom he was walking beside.
"Just battling. Trying to see who can beat the other fastest."
"That's boring."
"Yes, but it creates a battling competition mood and it'd be good training. That's what we're supposed to be doing. Tournament is coming up."
Ryo pushed the front doors of the school, and stepped down the stairs. They were early so he fan club wasn't here yet.
"Ryo," Jeri asked, "Why did you ask?"
"Cause I have to met my brother today."
"You have a brother?" Takato asked, looking as astounded as the others.
"Yeah, so?"
"I didn't know about it. And all of us have known you for 8 years." Kazu said.
"You guys never asked."
"What? My God!-" Kikuyu couldn't think of a good come back so she stopped talking.
"This is funny." Kenta commented.
"But, Ryo," Jenrya said, "You live alone."
"So? My brother and I aren't close. I just found out he not only didn't die, about a year ago, he got married last week."
"Talk about family problems." Kazu said.
"I didn't know you went to a wedding, which doesn't surprise me anymore, but you were busy all week last week." Jeri said.
"I never said I went to his wedding."
"Is there anything else we don't know about your family that you think we should know?" Jenrya was eyeing him funny.
"Um." Ryo looked at the sky pretending to think, "Maybe the fact that he's the leader of a gang?" he said innocently.
"SHIT!" was the first word out of everyone's mouth.
Ryo laughed, "So is it a good thing?"
"Is being in a gang a good thing?" Jeri retorted.
"Sure it is. Why not. I mean, having your brother as leader, too!"
"Okay, don't tell me, that's them right there?" Kazu pointed, right at the school's entrance.
Ryo's gaze followed Kazu's finger and slapped his palm to his forehead for the tenth time in this single day.
"SHIT!" Ryo started to run to the gang, but stopped for a moment, "You guy wanna come?"
"Practice," Takato reminded him.
"Alright, Guys, I'm really sorry about this, k? Would you like to drop by after practice to have dinner or just hang out?" Ryo asked, "I mean, one of you have to tell me who won the tournament."
"Fine," Jenrya said, "We'll drop by at around five-thirty, six, alright?" He asked the rest of the people, who nodded.
"Bye, see ya in a bit!" Ryo waved before charging to his gang, who were beginning to draw a lot of attention.
When he spotted and reached his brother, he punched him.
Kyo Akiyama spun around preparing to beat the crap out of whoever punched him. Of all the nerve, a high-schooller punching me!? Until he saw his brother in his cute little uniform.
"What are you doing here?!!!" they both shouted.
Ryo answered first, "I go to school here, Duh! I thought I told you! I also thought I told you never to come either. Weren't we meeting at six!?"
"I forgot you go to school here, Kami! Sorry, k? Besides, We're waiting for Midori's god sister. She goes to this school too." Kyo said.
"Ya know, for an 25 year old, your really stupid, did you really have to bring you entire gang!?" Ryo's limit was totally crossed today.
"Yeah, well, Midori wanted them to come."
"and Midori is.?"
"My wife." At the same time, "Me." A female voice said.
They turned their attention to a small girl attached to Kyo's arm. She had long tea green hair, wearing it in a high ponytail. With her tiny pink spaghetti top and blue flare jeans, she didn't look older than Ryo.
"And how old are you.?" Ryo rudely asks.
"20."
"Yeah, and I was born yesterday." Ryo sarcastically said, "Kyo," he demanded, "How old is she?"
"20"
"Why do I have family like you!?" Ryo almost whiled.
"You didn't have a good day here did you?" Kyo laughed, settling in, sitting on his Harley, with Midori on his lap, snuggled nicely and comfortably.
"NO."
"What happened?"
"This new girl came today and everything went from black to white."
"Oh, now you use colorful wording to put me off track?" Kyo said with an emphasis on the word 'colorful', Ryo caught the double meaning.
"Haha, very funny." Ryo laughed mordantly, "She's got the eye of every guy I know except for Jenrya and Takato. My GOD! She almost got me too!" Ryo was completely oblivious to his gang friends of a year that were all around them.
"She almost got to you!?" Kyo laughed cheerfully, like he hadn't in years, "This I gotta see."
Suddenly Midori looked up, "Hey! There she is! Ruki!" She called out to a certain redhead now walking towards him.
Ryo stopped cold at making a cruel comeback at his brother. "Did she just say 'Ruki'?" he asked his brother.
"Yeah, Makino, Ruki, she's Midori's god sister." Kyo looked oddly at his now very pale brother, "Why did you ask?"
"K-k-." Ryo stuttered, the shock having not completely left him yet.
"Ryo?"
~Ruki~
"Ruki!!"
She turned her head to see her god sister in the midst of what seemed to be a feared gang. She walked towards them. When she reached them, Midori pulled her into a hug.
"How are you? Baby." Midori asked.
"I'm not five anymore." Ruki protested.
"Wow, you filled out." She said.
"Yes, Midori, I grew-up."
"It's good to see you again. Ruki-chan!"
"You too." Ruki finally smiled her first smile in days.
"Hey, Ruki! I'm here too!"
"Big T, get away from me!" Ruki changed moods as fast as one changed TV channels.
"New uniform, are you wearing shorts under the kilt?" The bear of a man called Big T asked, reaching for the hem of her kilt.
"Yes! In fear of perverts like you!" Ruki cried, slapping Big T's hand away from her kilt.
"Name a pervert in your school." Asked a familiar voice, whom she thought was from the gang.
Ruki absently answered, "Akiyama Ryo." She looked up to see Midori and the others laughing.
"What?" she demanded.
"Well, Ruki, I did try to communicate with you, you are the one who declined." The same voice said.
"YOU!" Ruki burst out totally not in control of her temper.
"Me." Ryo-the-pervert said.
"My brother." Kyo Akiyama said, putting an arm around his little brother's shoulders, which Ryo shrugged off. Kyo shot him an pretense offended look.
Ruki shot her god sister a look of confusion.
Midori wrapped her arm around Kyo's waist, and said, "My husband."
"No." Ruki shook her head, her frown became a desperate call for help for god.
"You think I wanted them to get married?" Ryo asked.
"Midori," Ruki addressed, promptly disregarding Ryo, "Where am I going to live again? I would like to leave, now."
Midori look at her and her mouth broke into a smirk. She jabbed a finger at Ryo and said, "Ask him, it's his house."
"God, no." if you asked Ruki a minute ago what she thought of her life, she would have answered, 'Its burning hell', now she would say, 'what life? I'm dead, I committed suicide.'
Midori and Kyo were both smirking evilly, while the rest of the Silver Fangs watched, two depressed teens glared at their only siblings. It was all very amusing.
~Ryo~
They made it to his house alright. Not that they said a thing. Kyo took them back in his mustang. A typical yellow one. They hadn't said a word to each other for an hour now. When they came home, they found that her things were all shipped to his house already. She was unpacking in her room. Before that, she set very clear rules. He was not to touch or converse with her, nor is he allowed in her room at any time of the day. Basically they should speak when necessary, and with in ten minutes Ruki already constructed a timetable for cooking and chores. If Ryo weren't so confused he would have thought the situation to be humorous. Frustrated, he walked to his bathroom, pasting Ruki's new room.
"I'm taking a bath!!" He shouted, not at all expecting her to listen to him, "Please answer any phone calls that comes in." With that he closed his bathroom door. (He had two bathrooms)
~Ruki~
Sighing, she got up and stretched, it took her a total of-, she looked at the clock, it was now six, and it took her two and a half or so hours to unpack. Not her usual swiftness. Then she heard Ryo talk to her through the door.
"I'm taking a bath!" he said, "Please answer any phone calls that comes in!"
How Rude. Ruki thought. Well, she never expected any one to be nice to her. She definitely wasn't nice to anyone she knew. Anyone besides Midori. Ruki adored Midori since she was a little girl. Her dead mother was a model and after her high-school years, she would be too. It was all planned out, her future. She didn't really want to be one, not having a real home. Having to move around so much. Ruki was always alone. Midori was the one who took care of her when her mother wasn't home; which was most of the time. When her mother died in a plane accident, Ruki didn't' feel anything at all. She wasn't too attached to her. She used to like to think that she didn't have a mother, and Midori was her sister. She liked her life the way it was before her mother's death. Only Midori and her. But that all changed. She was sent to America when her mother died. She didn't see Midori for over 5 years. She felt betrayed by her own mother. Midori was the only friend she ever had, being the quiet, unemotional self she is. Midori was taken from her. It hurt a lot. She hated the feeling so much that she vowed never to get so close to a person that it would hurt if they were taken from her; Ruki takes notice to not break that vow. She doesn't think about her mother anymore, and definitely not today. She already has Ryo Akiyama to worry about. Right now, she wants a good meal, a luxurious bath, and a good night sleep. She still had school tomorrow.
She made her way down stairs. She just took a bowl of ramen out of it's plastic when the doorbell rang. Ryo told about phones, what about doorbells? She wondered. She paid no heed to it. It would go away soon. However, the person ringing the bell seemed annoyed at or, either that or they're retarded, they are trying to break it or something, not even letting the thing rest. The constant banging on the door didn't help, so with her robe and all, she stumped to the door, threw it open and hollered, "GET LOST!"
Then stunned faces of Kazu, Kenta, Jenrya and some other people she didn't know stared back at her.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" They all unanimously yelled.
"Nothing, just leaving," She made up.
"In that?" a boy with brown hair asked her.
Ruki looked at what she was wearing. Great, a damn robe, she thought. She was also naked beneath it too.
"What's going on!?" a pissed Ryo asked, stomping his way to an open door, dripping wet and half nude.
The two girls turned away when they saw him, Jenrya and the other boy who seemed to be their boyfriends covered their eyes.
"Friends," Ruki muttered before jolting back to her room. Even though she wasn't there, she could tell that there was an uncomfortable silence that passed through Ryo and his friends.
