Chapter 10: Rita's tears
"tadaima" Mitsui said returning back home.
"Okeari nasai, Hisashi-kun" Mrs. Mitsui said back.
"Is Rita back yet?" He asked.
She nodded, "She's back and went out again looking for you as if she was in stress"
"Stress!? As in?"
"I don't know, all she says that don't wait for her, she'll back late" Mrs. Mitsui replied cooking, "Wash yourself while I make dinner"
At Rukawa's place
"Did they hurt you?" Rukawa asked nursing her scars on her face.
"I'm fine, really. You don't have to do that" She refused.
"Kou-chan" He stomped and Kou looked down, "Why didn't you told me the girls were bullying you?"
She looked left ignoring him.
"Kou-chan, I care about you" He confessed looking at her, "What if those girls beat you up?"
"Then, I'll be in the hospital" Kou replied being sarcastic.
At Kogure's house
"Yay!! Yay!!" Miyuki cheered in Kogure's sister's room like a girl.
"Miyu-kun" Koori; Kogure's older sister said in chibi, "Stop acting as if you are still a girl"
"I can't" She refused in chibi, "I can't wait to see Maki-san tomorrow, wuaaaaa!!"
Extreme sweat drop was on Koori's head, "Ano ne, do you like Maki that much?"
"Of course" She replied with love shapes in her eyes, "He is the man for me"
"Miyuki-chan". A guy's voice was heard in her mind, "Isamu?"
"Who? Who's Isamu?" Koori asked with dotted eyes.
Away from Mitsui's place
Rita looked around and she felt very cold. She goes in the phone booth and dialed someone's number.
"Hello, is this Maria?" Rita asked in the phone panting.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Rita, why are you panting?" The voice from the phone asked, but she couldn't hear her clearly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Maria, what did my parents say?" She asked.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, they were mad. You shouldn't go there"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"But I asked their permission"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yes, you did but they didn't care, they say they 'own' you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Own!?" Rita question with trembling eyes, "I'm a not thing"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Rita, I suggest you don't return back for the time being. I'm sure they'll do something to you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You're a great friend, Maria. Really"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You are too beside we always do great things together. This is what I repay to you when you help me find my family"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rita smiled, "Thanks". "Maria, are you still there? I'm losing you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Call me again, Rita" Then the line snapped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rita looked down and thought, "What can I do here when I can't go back home?". She then started crying.
Back at the park
"What took you a lot time answering that stupid question?" Ryouta laughed sitting beside her.
"What are you talking about?" She smacked Ryouta on his arm, "It wasn't a stupid question"
"Really?" Ryouta replied with dotted eyes and blushed, "So.."
"Huh!? So – what?"
"I mean.." He replied holding his head still blushing.
She raised up her eyebrow.
"Kaze-chan" He said back angrily tickling her.
"Ryouta"
Somewhere
The brown-headed guy looked left and right, "Er.. where exactly am I?". He can't speak japanese nor understand japanese, "Where's the girls when I need them?"
Back at the phone booth
Rita wiped her tears, "I'm late" And walked out and dumped with a guy, "Gomen nasai, I didn't see – Mitsui-san"
"Who were you calling?" He asked seriously.
"Well, I.." She replied speechless looking down, "I was taking with parents"
"Liar" He said and she looked up at him. "Tell me everything, Rita. Please."
"You know everything all ready, Mitsui-san" She replied looking away upset.
"But I want more detail" He said again, "Were you adopted?"
She looked straight at him with her combined anger and sadness eyes.
At Kainan
"Tomorrow, Shohoku will come to our school for training. Although it is a training we must defeat them for as us, Kainan, must always win" Maki said to the members.
"Hai"
"Maki-san, are you sure we will win?" Kiyota asked.
Maki looked at him and grinned, "Trust yourself, Kiyota. You must stop Rukawa"
"You can count on me, Maki-san"
"I hear that Shohoku beat some of the best Basketball schools" Jin wiping his sweats.
"Aa.." Maki nodded, "Sensei told me"
"With Sakuragi controlling under the basket, there's no way we could stop him" Jin added.
"Ano Akai-saru [red-monkey], I will defeat him" Kiyota exclaimed fisting in chibi, "Down with Kitsune and Akai-saru"
Near the river
"I don't know my real parents. My adopt parents says that they died because of not following what they says" Rita explained.
"So they treat you like Cinderella?"
"Not exactly" She corrected, "They treated me like a dirt-bag. Since they thought I'm pretty, which I am not, their blood daughter always threaten me worst"
"Rita.."
"She always scolded since we looked alike" She continued looking at the river, "Others says were twins but we are not"
"Does Miyuki-san, Kaze and Kou knows?" He asked.
She looked down, "No. I don't want them to worry about me. They think I'm happy-go-lucky but I am not."
"Then you are hiding it?" But no reply. "Rita, why don't see the counseling?"
She looked at him, "What am I going to say to them? 'My adopt parents happened to treat me like a dirt-bag'? My father is the counseling and my mother is a famous model"
"If you say the truth, everything will change. You can here with us… me.."
She looked at back at river ignoring him.
Mitsui looked at her for awhile and thought something, "Rita.. masaka… you're trying to let Rukawa enter in your loneliness?"
She was stunned and cried looked at him.
"Am I right?"
She slapped Mitsui crying, "Don't say anything you don't know" and rushed away.
Mitsui was shocked, he was right. He touched his cheek where it was slapped, "Rita.."
That night
Mitsui returned back home late and trying to knock Rita's room door, "Rita, are you in there?" No reply. He thought she was asleep and went to his room.
Somewhere
"Wuaaaaa!!" The brown-headed guy complained messing his hair up, "Where the hell am I?"
To be continued…
Why does Rita was treated like that?
Who is this brown-headed guy?Will Miyuki see Maki without this 'Isamu' to interfere?"
