Chapter 8: Kyoto Daishinn
.:xxx:. Three years later .:xxx:.
She sat in the high chair and started clicking away on the mouse. Scanning the screen for her desired information, she took a sip from her coffee ice blend. After long time, the computer finally loaded the page to her mail box. Apparently there were a few e-mails from Tyson and another signed as 'invitation'. A small smile found its way to Nakuru's lips when she read the e-mail.
"And what could possibly make my princess smile?"
Looking up, Nakuru took another sip of her coffee and saw Tyson walking towards her. Tyson reached her and gave her a peck on her cheek.
"It's an e-mail from high school, and that's my coffee!" Nakuru playfully hit him on the arm for taking her drink.
"Aw, com'on…"
"Go order one yourself, Tyson…" Nakuru said pointing to the counter.
Tyson pretended to look hurt and pouted as he walked to the counter. Leaning back, Nakuru stretched and yawned. If her computer hadn't crash down on her, she would be comfortably sitting at home surfing the net. And if there wasn't a cyber café, she didn't know how she would survive…
Tyson came back holding a cup of some drink; he grabbed a nearby chair scooting over to Nakuru's side reading her mail.
"So what's that about high school?" He asked as he placed his cup down.
"Don't you check your mail; I thought you would have known by now?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I read it last month… sorry I forgot to tell you about it. And when is the class reunion again?"
"This Saturday, oh joy, I haven't found anything to wear yet…" Nakuru replied sarcastically.
"You'll look good in anything," Tyson teased.
"Oh, shut up."
.:xxx:.
Rei sat on the sofa reading a magazine lost in his own little world when Mariah's squeal broke his daydreaming. Rushing into the room, Rei was about to protect her when he realized there was nothing wrong with her. Mariah was just squealing and jumping up and down from her seat staring at the computer screen.
"What happened?" Rei ask curious to the source of her attention.
"Freya… she said she'd be able to return for the reunion!" Mariah started squealing again, "And she said she has a surprise for us… oh I cant wait!"
"Oh for goodness sake, don't squeal anymore!" Rei rolled his eyes as he walked out of her room back to the living room to read his magazine.
Mariah suddenly rushed out to tell Rei that the next day was Friday and that the reunion was on Saturday. Rei just nodded his head, not listening to all the things she was blabbing about. Lost in his own world again, Rei doze off on the couch with the magazine over his head.
Tell me I didn't agree to marry her…
.:xxx:.
Getting out of his car, Tyson rushed over to the passenger door and opened it for Nakuru. He held her hand and with the other on the door.
"Oh, stop it. This is so embarrassing!" Nakuru whispered and gave Tyson a hit on the arm.
Chuckling, he went to off the engine and took Nakuru's hands in his again, walking towards the school. The couple could see the hall lights were on and music was getting louder with each step they took. Reaching the entrance, a lady in her late middle age was standing there greeting all the people who came. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she wore a business suit, some wrinkles deepen her features.
"Hi there, are you two here for the class reunion?"
Tyson nodded his head and the woman gesture them to walk down the corridor. The two of them looked around and a sense of warmth touched their hearts. Everything was the same as before… Tyson and Nakuru reached the noisy hall and a man was sitting behind the table ticking their attendance. Nakuru told the man their names and he ticked their names on the list. They both walked in and the DJ started playing a very familiar song, it used to be one of the top ten hits three years ago.
The two of them met some of their old classmates and started chatting away happily. Nakuru started to look around for Mariah and as if on queue, a huge hug enveloped her. Shocked, Nakuru turned around and saw the girl she was looking for.
"Omg!"
The girls started to chat and squeal in excitement. Rei came up behind Mariah and casually place an arm around Tyson's shoulder.
"Yo man…"
The four of them settled down on two double sofas by the window, facing each other. They talked about their lives and the past. Laughing about their silly mistakes or the pranks they played on the teachers. It was lively. Then the matter some how changed to Kai… there was slight tension when the mentioned about Kai.
"How's Freya, has anyone heard from her?" Nakuru asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, she sent me an e-mail saying she'll be able to make it tonight and she has a… surprise for us…" Mariah replied.
"The only surprise I can think of is she coming back as a boy…" Rei joked lightening the mood.
And then the worse happened…
"HI GUYS!" a high voice gushed excited as the person rushed in and stood between the two sofas.
"Speak of the devil…" Tyson muttered.
"AND I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU GUYS!" Freya exclaimed.
Rei had to practically cover his ears in fear of ending up deaf. Stepping aside, Freya turned and a guy with dark blue hair stood beside her, linking his arms with hers. The four of them stared at the man in shocked and horror. The man wore a baggy pants and a long sleeve shirt, he was smiling happily back at them.
"Ka-Kai…?" Nakuru said as she felt her jaw dropped slightly.
"This is Kyoto Daishinn. He's my boyfriend…" Freya said exaggerating on the 'boyfriend'.
"Hey, nice to meet you guys…" He smiled and nodded his head in greeting.
"What do you mean Kyoto!" Tyson growled as he stood up protective of his girlfriend.
Shocked, Kyoto turned to Freya, his eyes asking her for help.
"Yes, I know he may look like Kai but he's not. He's Kyoto… MY boyfriend," Freya stated as a matter of fact.
Nakuru pulled Tyson down and calm him down. Apologizing for his sudden outburst, Kyoto smiled understandingly. An awkward silence fell over them and Freya being the most extra person there decided to break the ice by starting a little game. Each of them had to say a little introduction about themselves.
"Well, I'm Nakuru Hitama and I'm Tyson girlfriend and he is… my boyfriend?" Nakuru tried to start.
"This is stupid…" Tyson mumbled as he place an arm around her shoulder.
"Uh, you can call me Mariah and I'm Rei's girlfriend…"
"Correction, it's fiancé!" Rei pouted, "How could you forget, honey…?"
Blushing a deep shade of red, Mariah tried to hide her face in Rei's chest. Nakuru and Tyson and especially Freya gasped and said their congratulations, Kyoto just shake Rei's hands.
"Well, what can I say? I'm Freya and my boyfriend is Kyoto, I like to act that's why I went for the audition. And guess what? I'm an actress now! Isn't that wonderful? And my boyfriend is Kyoto and we met in Russia. He owns the world's largest company; and he's my boyfriend! You know the one called Dellshinn? Yes, and we met at-"
"Alright already, Freya… that's enough for now…" Kyoto chuckled and snaked an arm around his girlfriend, "your friends might get all bored…"
Freya stopped immediately and snuggled closer to Kyoto.
"Basically, I'm Japanese, but migrated over to Russia for some business. Not long after my parents died and that's where I come in to take over the company…"
"Oh, we are sorry to hear that…" Nakuru said sadly. She understood how it felt when someone you know died. Even though she didn't know Kai long, she still felt pain and imagine how much worse it would be if they were your loved ones… The music suddenly stopped and an announcement came through the intercom, telling them to move to the other side of the hall where the tables are. Dinner would be served shortly.
.:xxx:.
It was already twelve AM in the morning. And since Nakuru had to work the next day, she decided not to join the rest. They were going to the PUB to continue their own private reunion; it was only met for the four of them, Nakuru, Tyson, Rei and Mariah. But somehow, Freya got brought into this and she, being a pest, came along with them. Tyson, after some thought, decided to send Nakuru home and didn't want to join them. After all, Freya was there, he didn't want to be around her much longer. He thought she would have changed after all the years she'd been in Russia. And hell right was he, she changed alright, she was worse then before and was twice the drama since she's officially an 'actress'.
"Don't you think he looks like Kai?" Nakuru asked softly as she looked out of the window.
"He's like a splitting image of Kai just that… he's older…" Tyson replied as he kept his eyes on the road.
Looking at the roadside flashing past her, Nakuru kept silent while she thought about a certain blue head boy.
If he were to still be alive, he would look exactly like Kyoto… maybe Kyoto is Kai. But that's sort of impossible, yet if they were to be the same person, it might be possible. If so, why would Kai pretend to be someone else? Does Freya know about this? He is so much friendlier now, he smiles and laughs along with us, is Kyoto really… Him?
The car halted and Nakuru realized she had reached her home. Turning to Tyson, she bid him bye and quickly exited the car, still trying to get those thought out of her head. Tyson was just about to give her a kiss on the cheek but she had quickly slammed to door on him. Shouting a bye, Tyson drove off leaving Nakuru to think…
Tyson thought as he drove back home, Nakuru had been acting strange ever since she saw Kyoto. She was probably thinking about the same thing. Is Kyoto, Kai? There was a possibility Kyoto is Kai, since no one had charged Tyson for murder. He had wondered if Kai really died or not… What if Kai is still alive, why is he Kyoto now, what is his intention of being Freya's boyfriend, or is he really true to Freya… or maybe even really Kyoto? Kai is cold, he's not… but still, something wasn't quiet right to Tyson, he had to speak with Freya one day.
.:xxx:.
"HAHAHA… very funny, I want more beer…" Mariah moaned.
The dark place was filled with smoke and music was blasting all over. Colourful lights flashed across the entire PUB and people everywhere were screaming and enjoying their time. Rei was supporting Mariah in her drunkard state with her head on his shoulder. Kai drank another shot and Freya was chatting like a little girl, slightly drunk by the booze. She took another shot and fell into complete helplessness like Mariah.
"I think its best not to bring the girls out the next time round," Rei shouted over the music.
"I agree," Kyoto smiled.
Leaning on to Kyoto, Freya grasped his shoulder tightly. He flinched with the sudden tiny jolt of pain on his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Rei asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just felt uncomfortable…" Kyoto replied.
"KAI? IS THAT YOU!" Mariah suddenly burst out as she struggled out of Rei's arms trying to see better.
"You're drunk, I think it's time we-"
"KAI! It is you!" Mariah said as she pointed at Kyoto.
Looking around as far as he can, with Freya clinging on to him, he turned around to try to find the guy Mariah was talking about.
"Huh?" Kyoto asked as he looked at her with wide curious eyes.
"Kai, where have you been-"
Covering Mariah's mouth, Rei dragged her off the chair and supported her.
"We better get going…"
"I'm NOT drunk!" Mariah screamed.
Ignoring her, Rei lifted her bridal style and carried her off. He turned his head and mouthed a bye to Kyoto. Mariah was hitting his chest in vain, begging him to put her down and get her some more beer. However, he wasn't listening, he was thinking about Kyoto.
He flinched when Freya clung on to his shoulder. It was the same place where Kai had a wound on. But it couldn't be him, that wound was three years ago and not to mention they both look alike… could there really be two different person on earth that look so alike? Or is Kyoto really Kai?
YES! I did it, my fastest chapter. And I would like to apologize for rushing in the previously chapter. The sudden death of Kai and the sudden appearance of Kyoto was too fast. And I'm currently trying to make things go slower already so please review:)
