Chapter 18: Tough decisions"MISAO!"
(Teary eyes)
The whole gang squealed, as they all scurried over to Misao.
(Earthquake)
"Oh no…don't…no…""MIIISAAOOO!…"
(Teary eyes)
The whole gang running over to her in Slow motion
(Sweat drop)
"NoOoO…"Misao shouts in slow motion…
A/n: with the help of special effects I am able to portray the situation the way I see it…he he…Genki! Genki! (wide grin)
The whole group of Onee Gang stampeded over to Misao like an insane flock of hippos hurrying over for a big snack, the only difference was that it was no snack there was only Misao…
"Gulp…" (O,o)… (Wide-eyed)
All of them blasted through the air, landed to the ground, tripped over each other's tangled bodies and hurried over to where Misao was sitting, She on the other hand was still in shock, and was looking flabbergasted in the middle of all the commotion.
"Oro…" (Dizzy eyes)
They were all over her; they were clinging to her tightly as if someone would take her away from them, as if she'd be gone again… away from them…
"Is it really you? Is it really you Misao?"Okon whispered staring down Misao's orbs of bright emerald green, as her palms caressed her face with gentleness. Here eyes were misty as tears slowly peeked out from beneath her eyelids.
"Where have you been? We thought we've lost you"
Omasu spoke from behind Misao, as her hands were clasped together hugging Misao's whole body. Omasu's face was buried onto her locks of hair, as she burst in a sudden flood of tears from joy and relief of finding her again.
Beside Misao were Shiro and Kuro, both shedding tears as they held Misao's hand in a firm grip. They were all looking so relieved and yet with a distinct sadness within them…
"We were always waiting for you"
"Always…"
Shiro butted in with a low voice, as he slowly turned his face down onto where he held Misao's hand with care. He looked sad as he stared down onto her hands; it was as if he had longed for this, he longed to see her touching his hands again… like how it used to be…
"And now you're here…"
Kuro said wiping away tears, as his sad gloomy face brightens into a kind, warm, smile. It was like the old days… like how it used to be…
They all sat on the ground, cuddling, hugging, and touching Misao….
Shoji (Sweat drop)
Akami (Sweat drop)
"Ano?"Shoji butted in…
------------------------------------Awkward moment------------------------------------
Misao (Stare)
Misao (sweat drop)
Misao seem to have created a big racket in the middle of the festival, and it was no usual racket…
To point it all out:
-Omasu kneeling from the back of Misao as she caressed her in a tight hug. Her face buried onto her locks of hair, and her face rested onto Misao's shoulder.
-Okon kneeling in front misao, her hands holding Misao's face closely to hers. (Face to face distance)
-Shiro sitting beside Misao, with his hands holding her arms in a firm grip.
-Kuro sitting on her left, with her other hand clasped onto his.
A/n: play the sound in Chobits where Chii would find hideki's side dish magazines… hehe… (6.6) ahhhh…
--------------------------------Awkward moment-------------------------------------------------
Misao (sweat drop)
Okon (sweat drop)
Shiro (sweat drop)
Kuro (sweat drop) Shoji (sweat drop) Akami (sweat drop)-------------------------------------Silence------------------------------------------------
"Ano…"----------------------------Fireworks-------------------------------
"HENTAI!"A woman from behind squealed, as she quickly pointed over to where Misao and the Onee gang were sitting…
"What will we do?"
Kuro hissed in a whisper…
"RUN!"Shiro hissed back, as they all zoomed out of the crowd and sneaked off the spotlight they find themselves in…
Later…
The fireworks exploded for the last time, as the crowd of people departed back onto their homes. The village had gone silent, as the night became darker, with the colorful festival gone and Misao's embarrassing moment forgotten…
Kettle sound------------------------------------------------------
"I'll get it…"Misao excused herself as she quietly left the room; she carefully slid the door open and disappeared behind the wooden door.
Silence--------------------------------------------
Inside the room were Akami, Shoji, Kuro, Omasu, Shiro, and Okon. Even when they were a big crowd inside a tiny room, the room sounded pretty empty with silence. The room echoed with only the sound of breathing and whistles of the wind from outside…
Awkward moment-----------------------------
It went on for quite some time, and as the silence went on the room seem to go smaller and smaller. But finally Akami can no longer apprehend the tension building up inside the room… so she just had to speak up…
"So your friends of Misao's in Kyoto"
Akami broke the awkward silence, as she conversed with them with her eyes turning focused from one to the other…
"Ah yes…"Okon answered, as she jolted upright onto her seat taken aback by the sudden outburst of Akamis words. That was all that she could say, she felt choked by the stares that darted her from behind Akami's sweet persona.
Silence----------------------------------------
"What brings you here? Misao had never mentioned anyone from her past…"
Akami questioned as she sat in her chair looking very interested and curious. Looking at all of them with a lot of suspicion, she fined them hard to trust.
"Ano?"Shiro wanted so much to say something, but he finds himself choking as the once sweet loving women in front of her was starting to evolve into a somewhat different person. She was staring at him as he speak, as if she was waiting for him to say something really wrong…
"We were actually friends of Shoji…there"
Omasu butted in, as she nudged Shiro back onto the real world. Omasu stared at Shiro with an obvious glare stating…
"What's wrong with you?"
Shiro returned the glare with a look that states…
"She was menacingly staring at me?"
It went on for a minute or so; they were glaring from the back of the others clearly stating something to each other with signals from facial expressions. It was only until Omasu's eyes accidentally turned over to where Akami sat, and there she saw the exact thing Shiro had been telling her…
Akami(Glare)
Omasu (Sweat drop)
Akami turned her focus from Omasu to Shoji, who was inspecting them from head to toe…
Shoji browsed through each of them…
"Ninja clothes"
"Wide smiles"
"Muscular bodies"
"Two men, two women"
"Hmm…"
Silence------------------------------------
It took Shoji a couple more seconds to figure it out. He was constantly staring at them investigating every part of their body, while the Onee gang sat frozen to their seats…
Bingo…"Oh! Its you guys…"
Shoji finally said, figuring out at last who they were, as he pointed over to them with a sudden excitement building up inside him. He quickly turned to Akami and spoke in explanation.
"They were the ninjas I was talking to you about…"
"The ones who helped me out from the group of thugs in Kyoto"
Shoji was enthusiastic, as he clasped all of their hands to shake. He was smiling from ear to ear as the Onee gang shook hands with him as well…
"Well then I'm sure that your good friends of Misao's"
Shoji said, looking at all of them with a gaze of amazement…
"What a coincidence these reunion is…"He said wide-eyed with astonishment from everything…
"I meet you guys, you come here, and what do you know? You were actually friends with Misao…"
He said with a high-spirited expression of happiness and joy. Akami on the other hand seem to be the opposite of how Shoji had reacted. She stood from behind Shoji frozen, as her head was tilted down to the ground…
"Ninjas…"
Akami spoke out from all the noise Shoji had been making. The place grew silent as Shoji turned around to look behind him and saw a confused Akami. She looked nervous and a bit angry.
(Sweat drop)
The smiles plastered from the faces of the Onee gang were suddenly strained as they saw Akami's blazing eyes turned toward them. They felt a pang terror as her eyes gleamed a vicious expression. It was like looking at a beautiful blossoming flower turning into a vicious Venus flytrap, waiting to gobble you up for dinner.
"What's wrong Akami?"
Because of the entire commotion happening they didn't notice that Misao had opened the door onto the room. She stood there looking at all of them with a puzzled look.
"What's going on here?"(Raised eyebrows)
"Oh nothing…""Ahohoho…."
Akami suddenly bursted out, as her face turned back onto its original form. It took five seconds for the group to revived from what they had just seen.
"Yeah…"
"It's nothing"Shiro spoke out from all the awkward moment, looking dazed and hypnotized.
"O—kay…"Misao replied feeling that there was something they were hiding from her, but she didn't want to engage onto it so she left behind and forgot about it.
"Here, I prepared us all some tea"Misao said, handing over the hot cup of tea's over to each of them. Silence had once again drowned them all…
Silence-------------------------------------------
"You've change a lot Misao"Okon said, looking at Misao with such Love and admiration as that of a sister.
Misao can feel her heart break into two, as she saw the look from Okons face. She felt so bad as she sat between the two dissections of her family. On her left was Akami and Shoji, her present family who have been so kind to her from the past four years that had passed. She had grown to love them both like brother and sisters, and they had always been good to her. To her right was her past family, the family she grew up with, the family whom she'd spend her whole life with, the family she loved once, and maybe again…
I'm used to all these…
I'm used to all the pain…
I'm used to being forgotten…
And even when I had so many beside me…
I still feel empty…
I am still not happy…
What is missing?
Why do I feel so much despair and agony in spite of all these?
Why?
What is missing?
Is it you?
