Chapter 5: Trust Me
Domyoji
What the hell is that stupid woman thinking- hugging guys left and right, not only one but FIVE!! Okay admittedly she hugged four and shaked one hand but it is still FIVE UNKNOWN GUYS!!! Wait till I get to her! I will beat the crap out of those guys. Isn't one stupid Dominic guy enough? He had to find more trouble. What is wrong with that woman? Isn't I- the Great Domyoji Tsukasa more than she deserves?
I walked out of the class, slamming the door on the way out.
Soujirou and Akira sensing World War III about to break out any time rushed after the ticking bomb.
Tsukushi
"Mama, mama lets go. I want to see where we are going to live. I want to sleep with you, bath with you, eat with you, I missed you." Kagaya swing my hands up and down, grinning happily. Her boundless energy has not depleted with age, in fact it is increasing- an amazing mystery how Tatsuha and Jay cope with this ball of energy. No wonder they need a vacation.
I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. Kagaya really did have the ability to infect everyone with her smile. I picked her up into my arms " Of course, you can stay with me. You rascal. But my apartment is very small compared to granpa's house, so it will be very stuffy, you might not like it."
"I don't care!! I want Mama. I miss Mama! You never come to visit."
"Kushi you don't have to."
In seconds Kagaya was out of my arms and clinging to Tatsuha's legs, staring up into Tatsuha's face, pleading " Mama said it is okay. I want to stay with Mama. Please Papa. I promise I will be good."
"Don't worry, she can stay for a few days, I'll be going to the main house in a three days anyway. She can't always be pampered, she will have to start her independent training soon." I said. "And you need a vacation, how long has it been since you had some fun with Jay." I whispered into Tatsuha's ear.
"Lets go! Kushi, you sit in my car." Nick called out from the driver seat.
" No way, I value my life for your information. I intend to live as long as possible. As long as you drive like a maniac, no way am I sitting in a car with you in the driver seat. I'd rather walk."
"Stubborn woman. You drive than. Or have you even forgotten how?" Nick's challenge got on my nerve.
"I am in Tokyo where I don't have a license to drive and not enough money to pay the fines" I glared back at him angrily. " You'll remember I've been driving since my legs could reach the accelerator, crashed only 3 cars unlike a certain someone who crashed 9 before he got the hang of it."
"That is because you drive like a tortoise."
"Could anyone remember who beat Nick flat in our last race?" I glared back at him.
Laughter broke out. After a moment of glaring, I and Nick too started laughing. Nothing has changed it seems. "I'll drive, Nick get out." Raphael always the peacemaker said.
"Talking about financial problems, Kushi, take this credit cards, you will need it. Don't worry, annual visit period, you don't' have to be independent. You need to dress appropriately." Tatsuha handed over a myriad of credit cards.
I sighed and accepted them knowing it was useless to argue, he was right.
"Let's go, let's go Mama, Papa, Daddy." Kagaya was bouncing at the back seat cheerfully.
Domyoji
When I got there, all I heard was the roar of two powerful engines speeding off.
I heeded for my car, determined to follow them. Suddenly my arm was jerked from behind. My fist was about to land when I saw who the person was. "Soujirou, I am busy." I growled.
"And out of control, we're following you."
I didn't have the time to argue with them, I had to find Tsukushi.
I slid into the driver seat, started the engine and speeded off. I realized the few seconds of disturbance had cost me to lose trail of the two cars. I cursed and drove around aimlessly hoping to spot the cars again. It was around after 15 minutes before Akira started to clear his throat, trying to get my attention.
"What." I growled.
"I don't think you will spot them like this."
"I know"
"Don't you think they might go somewhere?"
What kind of stupid question was that, of course they were heeding of to somewhere.
"And that somewhere might be Makino's house?"
I spurned the car 360° speeding towards Makino's apartment.
Tsukushi
"This is where you live?" Nick asked.
I kept silent, knowing the comment that was to come, "It's the size of our store room. Even our toilet is 3 times bigger."
"Yes, I know." I said between gritted teeth.
"What have you been doing all this time. Not even a laptop. How about your instruments, your clothes, car!"
"I came out with nothing remember. My training was a little different from yours. I didn't even have the money to buy the newspapers, how could I keep track. I still have one more year. Mother don't know you're here. She don't even know about the annual visit. She'll be having hysterics if she knows, she is still hoping I will get married and." I cut myself out before I start to drown in self pity.
Raphael hugged me, "Don't' worry, her hold is off after one more year, then you can come with us. We will see the world together."
"And you won't have any excuse when you lose to me." Nick said in an obnoxious tone, which did not hide his real motive of cheering me up from me.
"But living in this dump is not necessary while we are here. You are moving in with us for the time being, at least until after the visit." Ryu said. " Don't argue. It is either you pack and we come back in an hour to get you, or we take you by force and call Dominic to pack for you."
"You insolent brute..."
"Okay, force it is..." Ryu picked me up bodily and tossed me over his shoulder, and was starting to head out, when I gave in, "I pack, you come back in 1 hour."
"I knew you would see our way. Stubbornness don't work with me remember?" he gave me peck on my forehead before leaving with the others.
"I want to stay. I will help Mama pack."
"Okay, you will be bodyguard. Uncle Ryu will come to collect your mama in 1 hour."
"Okay." Kagaya gave Ryu a peck on his cheek to seal the deal.
"Bye bye."
Domyoji
When I arrived at Makino's apartment, the two cars were already leaving. I decided not to give chase, as I saw Makino's apartment door was open.
I climbed the stairs, anger boiling in me.
"Mama, mama. Will you live with Papa and Daddy and Kagaya. Kagaya misses you. Papa misses you too. When will you come back." A child's was obviously doing the talking. But I paid no attention till I heard the voice that replied her.
"Mama is busy now. Papa and Daddy loves Kagaya a lot. Mama knows Kagaya loves them too right?" it was Tsukushi's voice.
"Yes, but Kagaya want Mama Tsukushi to live with us like last time. I want to show you to my friends, they always ask me where is my mama. Shindo always tease me saying I have no mama, that my mama don't want me."
"I love you. Mama loves you. Papa loves you. Daddy loves you. We all love Kagaya. Always remember that."
I could stand no more of this... what is the meaning of this. Apparently, I was not the only one who heard their conversation because there were whisperings between Soujirou and Akira at the back.
I burst into the room to see Tsukushi hugging a kid. The kid had long black hair and was wearing a pink dress.
"Domyoji!!"
"Who's kid is this!" I demanded.
She kept silent. She didn't even asked for the time to explain. She just stayed mute.
"Mama, who is this rude guy. I don't like him. Mr. Rude, for your information, my name is Kagaya. Kagaya Celest Kamiryu. My Mama is Tsukushi Lily Makino Kamiryu, Papa is Tatsuha Kamiryu, and Daddy is Jay Stephenson."
At every word of hers, my face got redder and redder, Angrier and angrier.
"You bastard." I lunged for her, but was held back by someone.
"Mama, I'm scared." That kid had the cheek to run to Tsukushi and reach up to be carried. "Uncle Dominic, he scares Kagaya."
It was only then that I realized the person holding me back was not Akira and Soujirou.
"You will not be permitted to hurt Little Miss or Little Kagaya. Master Rafael's order for me to come here to check on Little Miss was an excellent decision. Let me see, Mr. Domyoji, I seem to have read something about you recently. Ah, yes, Domyoji Tsukasa, only heir to the Domyoji Corporation, rude, hot- headed, insolent, a bully in Eitoku School. I think you have given Little Miss a little trouble before. A certain form of bullying that I think is called 'red-tagging is it? You have also caused Little Miss to be hospitalized, which I regret I couldn't get any information before due to your family influence or else I would have Little Miss to safety from the likes of you.."
"Enough Dominic. I was not hurt. It wasn't his fault. Please forget you ever found out about this." Tsukushi was ordering this guy! She actually said it authoritatively. She sound like she had done this before.
"Little Miss, as you know, in the issue of your danger, I cannot allow this person to be near you. Master must also know about this." Dominic actually bowed when he said this.
"One more year, and I am free. Do you want to endanger my chances? Let it be. If questioned I will answer Granpa. Release Domyoji."
The grip on my hand loosen. "What is the meaning of this!"
Dominic was between me and Tsukushi in a flash. "I treat you as a possible danger to Little Miss, and it is my duty to protect her."
"He won't hurt me intentionally."
"Unintentionally then."
Tsukushi sighed. Dominic, "Take Kagaya into the car, I have to talk with Domyoji. Alone."
Dominic was about to protest when, "As you wish, just scream if he does anything."
That Dominic and that brat kid Kagaya exited. Akira and Soujirou can also be heard leaving, acknowledging this was a conversation that was only between the two of us.
"Domyoji. Listen. Don't speak. You were never to find out about them now. It was a mistake for them to appear at school. They are my family. Please ask no more questions. Please accept what I have to say. I can't explain everything but if you actually think of it you will come to some of the more obvious answers regarding Kagaya. Don't ask my mother or I will leave here forever. I have one more year to complete my agreement with her. I will be going away for a few weeks. I will come back unless, mother found out they came to visit. In that case I will get my independence with or without fulfilling the agreement. I want to stay with you, but if she found out everything will be ruined. Trust me. I know what I am doing. I don't want to leave you, but if you give me no choice,.."
"Stupid woman what are you babbling about. I don't understand you at all. You are asking me to trust you and you refuse to explain."
"Please trust me. I know it is hard but trust me." She hugged me. Her arms encircling me. Her face buried in my chest.
