Anna's Closet
By BluRoSes
Chapter 6: Searching
"Anna! Anna!" I called out to her again. I dialed her number, but no response.
I got Hao to drive me to Anna's. I explained on the way. We parked outside the mighty gates. I had never gone into the house by the main gate before and it was really intimidating the way we had to announce ourselves through the intercom.
No one answered. We went round the back of the building and saw the back gates were open. I was use to these gates and led Hao up to the back door. The house looked deserted.
There was a key code pad on the back door. I punched in the numbers and the back door opened. Anna had given me the code, so I could sneak in and spend the night with her sometimes.
The inner door was door was ajar, but we heard the radio was on.
Hao called out Anna's name. "Anna! Anna! Hello! " I joined in as we entered the kitchen and proceeded through to the hall way which led to the main stairs. I started calling out her name…"Anna where are you, it's Yoh…" Hao and I trod on a broken ornament.
I told Hao that the ornament stood next to the main reception room and was the pride and joy of the family, especially Mr. Kyoyama. Hao asked me what I knew of Mr. and Mrs Kyoyama. He knew of me and met me at the party only briefly. We didn't say more than two words to each other.
I only knew of Mr. Kyoyama by his reputation, but I didn't know him in person. I looked him up earlier on the Internet and knew how he made his millions, but that didn't qualify me to force my way into his family home like some kind of knight rescuing his princess.
We didn't have a clue of what we were going to do! I looked into the eight-foot mirror that stood in the main reception room, which Anna's mother banned me from entering into.
I spilt orange juice on their white quilt, which was used by Mrs Kyoyama when she took her naps, after her long court cases.
I observed my reflection in the mirror; looking innocent and dim.
My vulnerability shone right through me. I couldn't go on alone.
I convinced Hao to go up stairs with me. It took my pledge of one-week pocket money and taking over his chores for a period of two weeks, before he finally agreed. I thought that he drove a hard bargain.
We went up the squeaky staircase. I went into Anna's room and although it seemed a mess, I couldn't find anything to suggest that someone had been attacked. Down stairs looked ominous, but Anna's room seemed relatively all right.
We decided to leave and come back in the morning. Hao didn't want to be accused of breaking and entering. He thought that Anna may had pull a prank on us and Mr. and Mrs Kyoyama wouldn't find it amusing seeing us in their home, with no Anna insight and especially after I had desiccated their quilt which had been in their family for years.
I agreed. And then we left. We got into our fathers' car, which we borrowed and drove off. I realized that we had forgotten to check the closet in Anna's room. When Anna called, she mentioned that she was in the closet.
I thought Anna's house had secret compartments or something. Where was she? How could I forget to check the closet? I dismissed the closet as insignificant. I suddenly had an incline about the closet.
I wanted to go back and check the closet, just to get peace of mind. We had already gone down stairs and I called out to Hao.
I asked Hao to come back upstairs with me, but he declined. We argued. He saw how upset I was, so he made a deal with me. He turned the car around and drove away and that was how we didn't check in the closet.
Hao was going out with his friends that evening, but promised to stop by Anna's place on the way home and check the closet that we forgot.
He promised that he would ask Anna's parents where she was if he met them there. He also promised that he would go upstairs and check all the rooms again. I felt relieved. Sometimes Hao could be very caring with an exception of taking over the world ego. Sometimes he can be the kindest person in the world…I laughed that's why he is my brother after all right
A/n: All raise hands if you think Hao is caring 4 real. NOT I lol. Thanks for the lovely reviews.
