"An Upside Down Ficciee"

by: summersnowflakes & winterbutterfly

Chapter two:

Finally I arrived at Tokyo… wow, it's kinda big…. the buildings here were so high! I wonder if Hikari were working inside one of this buildings… well, I gotta go to her place now.

Well, in fairness huh?… Her house in kinda big but the glass house is much bigger that is owned by my…… Sigh. granniee. Well, I went in front of the door then I pressed the buzzer. Then someone opened the door.

"Hikari!"

"Asuka! I'm really glad to see yah! So yah take my offer?"

"Of course!"

"well, meet my husband…"

"YOUR WHAT!" I'm really shocked! I didn't expect Hikari to marry someone that fast! And----- she didn't told me anything about that… is the guy that ugly?…. oh! I'm so bad! Hehe…

"my husband… well, come in…" she guided me to their living room and

there I saw a man sitting in the sofa while watching t.v.

"here he is…" she sat next to him while taking his hand with her. He did stop watching t.v. then he turned his attention to me. I can't believe who he is!

"meet my husband Asuka, Touji Suzuhara" Touji! He is our classmate since 1st year high school. I didn't know that…. That….

"Hi Asuka! Nice to see the most popular and smartest student during highschool…" he greeted.

"um… since when?" what an answer. I really can't believe it!

"What?… I said since high school…" he answered.

"no! no! I said since when? Your marriage…?"

"oh… it's only last 2 weeks! You didn't came! I'm disappointed!" hikari answered for him. Me? I didn't came.

"but--- I didn't received any letter! I'm not guilty Hikari!" well I am really not guilty.

"hehe… of course 'coz I did not sent any letters… well, that marriage is for next week… we're only kidding… hehe…" I can't believe I fell for that joke… but wait!------

"If you two were not married yet, then why are you living under the same roof?…" I asked bewilderedly. I hope they didn't… oh my!

"Don't tell me Hikari… you two!" I asked with wide eyes. Hikari suddenly replied.

"Of course not! Asuka! so what… after all I'm his fiancé, what's wrong if we're living at the same house." Then Touji continued to speak while I'm listening and somehow have calmed down a bit.

"Don't worry I didn't do anything naughty towards your sister--------yet…" he said grinning. With that Hikari stood up.

"Well, take a sit first Asuka, I'll just prepare our lunch." She headed straight to the kitchen. Touji turned back his attention to the t.v. while I'm sitting on the other couch but much smaller with Tedskiee on my arms.

"Hey Asuka!" he snapped but his eyes still focusing on the one his watching.

"Don't have any boyfriend or something? Yah know… after him…" he asked with a playful tone.

"No… not yet… I have to find a nice job first…" I replied. Well, that's true. I think I'm not ready to open my doors for someone. I know I'm already 19 but… I think first things first… fulfill my dreams.

"Still childish huh?… I didn't know you like teddy bears that much. It's kinda big…" he teased me and he changed the subject.

"um… yeah. Actually it's a diary and he's my ever loyal companion." I said while softly stroking tedskiee's fur.

"really? We didn't have the chance to get to know each other that much 'coz… oh! It's nothing… forget about it…" he said before Hikari spoke from the kitchen.

"Um… Touji-kun… Asuka… lunch is ready!" Touji turned-off the t.v. then I got up before I put Tedskiee where I sat. There I saw Touji waiting for me. When he saw that I'm ready he started to walk towards the kitchen with me following him.

When we arrived at the kitchen, I saw Hikari putting plates in the table. Touji began to sat in one of the chairs so I sat as well. Actually their kitchen is not that big but not that small. Their table is not that

big too. 6 people can eat on it. Finally Hikari sat beside Touji and across me. The foods that she prepared are all Japanese foods of course but I wish that I can eat Western ones in a while. Well, she prepared miso soup, curry, rice of course, sashimi, sushi, tofu and pork, and norimaki. Okay, I think the food was kinda plenty. Yah know I don't eat that much.

"Itadakimasu…" we said in unison. Then we began eating. There was silence when Touji began to speak.

"Your really a good cook Hikari-chan." He said that made Hikari to slight blush. Then Hikari replied.

"Thanks Touji-kun but Asuka can cook better than me 'coz she's the one who taught me how to cook."

"I'll take that as a compliment Hikari…" Hikari continued to speak.

"um… Asuka, later you'll meet your manager."

"already? Isn't that too fast or something?… no auditions?"

"Of course not! After all, we three are going to work together! Isn't that great… actually Touji is a member of a band. He's the guitarist."

"oh really?… I'm happy for the two of you 'coz you have a good life… blah… blah… blah…" then after we finished eating Hikari washed the dishes while Touji showed me my room. But it's only for a while until I found a new apartment.

The room was not that big. It is composed of a bed enough for only a single person, a small table beside it then a wardrobe. I began to put Tedskiee on my new bed then my clothes on the wardrobe and some of my stuffs at the small table like my cell phone, a small mirror, alarm clock etc…etc…etc… after that I sat on my bed with tedskiee on my lap while I'm recording everything that happened that morning. It is when Hikari shouted that I have to get ready and after an hour we'll be going.

A hour has passed. We finally arrived at a large building by Hikari and Touji's car. Hikari and me got out of the car and proceeded for the entrance while Touji parked the car in the parking lot of course… it is really beautiful inside. Many people or maybe their employees were greeting Hikari and me as well. Hikari just smiles so I smile as well. We headed for the elevator. It opened and we both step in. Only the two of us were there. The elevator closed. Finally we reached the….. ahemmm… 17th floor! Yah know it's not that high… sigh the building has 20 floors… okay it's high…

Were out of the elevator then Hikari and me proceeded towards the end of the large hall/corridor. Hikari finally stopped at a large door with me beside her. She opened it then we enter the room. There I saw a long table or I should say a long wooden table with 22 chairs on it. Then a large white board. Actually this room looks more of a meeting room. There's no one with us inside. Just the two of us. There is silence when Hikari spoke.

"Oooppss… wrong room!" I almost fainted! How can she possibly forgot her room! Oh God!

"Hikari… are you… um okay?" I asked.

"um… yes! Yah know… hehe… how can I forgotten my room… well, let's get going, your manager is waiting for you…" then we got out of the room then headed for the next door. Now I know why Hikari was confused. The next room is very similar from the other. We both entered the room. I closed the door. Inside of these rooms have two not that big table with a chair each. Computers. Cabinets. In the tables, lots of papers, folders, etc..etc..etc.. the room was air-conditioned so it's kinda cold inside. Yah know I'm wearing an off-shoulder pink blouse with buttons. Then a navy blue jeans.

On one of the chairs, a woman between 33-35 years was sitting while typing something on the computer. That is when Hikari interrupted her.

"Meet your manager Asuka, she's Miss Misato Katsuragi" then Hikari introduced me to my new manager. She looks very kind to me. She's kinda beautiful. Hehe… yeah.. Yeah.. she's beautiful.

"um… Asuka Langley Soryu right? Your name sounds different from the others. Yah know your beautiful, sexy and I think your voice is good as well and you can also compose a song… what a talented lady…" she said while standing from her seat while eyeing me up and down. Well, I like what she said and I think I'll take that as a compliment.

"You'll start singing tomorrow and you'll composed some songs for a male singer as well." Wow… that's it! just eyeing me up and down and I'm already qualified! she began to get her cell then she dialed then she spoke.

"Shinji come here… you have to meet someone…" then she put back her cell on her pocket and then she returned her attention to me.

"Your going to meet someone Asuka. We'll just wait for him for a while…" she said before sitting on her chair then she began to type again.

"Well, we can sit for a while."

"But… where are you going to sit? There is only one chair." I asked.

"I'm okay. I'll just call Touji for a while…" I sat on her chair while she move aside then she began to phone Touji. I stood up then headed for the big window. There I can see many things, the tall buildings, cars, people. I turned my attention to Misato, my manager. If I'm not mistaken, I think she is reading something from her computer. I move slightly on the left so that I can see what she's reading or something. I'm just curious.

There I saw a photo of a girl with I think her profile on the right side of her photo. She has blue hair reaching her shoulders. Pale skin but much paler than mine. Red eyes! Weirdo… before I can read her name, Misato exited the file and began to open another. She suddenly looked back and I suddenly turned around hoping she didn't notice.

"um… Asuka, were you looking at me or should I say my computer?" uh-oh! She saw me… Asuka! Think fast!

"um… er… yah know…" I turned around again, now facing her while searching for the right words to escape inside my mouth. When I'm gonna say something, the door suddenly opened signaling that someone entered the room. Sigh saved by someone!

Misato then turned her attention to the guy whose standing in front of her table. He's taller than me. Wearing a big black t-shirt and black jeans. He has short brown hair. Deep blue eyes. Tan skin. And right now he's smirking… he suddenly spoke.

"Is she the one Misato?" he said while eyeing me up and down with his right hand on his chin and left hand on his pocket.

"yes she is…" again Misato looked back at me.

"Um… Asuka, he is Shinji Ikari." She again looked at Shinji.

"I think it's better if you two will talk, yah know… get to know each other… I have something to do." Misato said before she snapped her attention to her computer.

Shinji Ikari slowly approaches me with a smirk forming his lips where I am currently standing. He stopped right in front of me while looking at my chest, I guess so… WHAT! My 'CHEST'! but before I could over react or something… he spoke.

"Don't you think that your too 'sexy' and 'stunning' when that one is unbuttoned." He said while pointing his forefinger on my chest.

I looked down to see that the top of my blouse was really unbuttoned! How come I didn't notice! It leaves little to the imagination. Now I know why Misato said that I'm sexy! Well, I spun around to hide my blush then I began to buttoned my blouse. It's really embarrassing! What would he think of me… before I can think of more, I heard Hikari spoke.

"um… Asuka, I'll just leave you for a while okay?… I have someone to deal with… and Shinji, be good to her okay?" then she walked out of the room.

"Yes Miss Horaki…" he replied then he looked back at me with a smile on his face.

"Why were you smiling?…" I said bluntly. Well, he keeps on smiling.

"Nothing… yah know your much cuter when you blushed…" he replied with a playful tone.

I don't know if I'll take that as a compliment… before I can say something he continue to speak.

"um… I don't think that this is a good place for us to chit-chat… yah wanna go to a restaurant?…" he asked me. I could only nod my head. Then he said goodbye to Misato, me as well and we exited the room.

We went to a fancy Japanese restaurant not far from the building. He asked me if I want something to eat. I said that a tea would be great. He ordered two teas for the two of us. When it arrived, that is time that he spoke.

"well, what's your full name? Yah know you don't look like more of a Japanese but of a foreigner? And how old are you? Are you related to Miss Horaki? Are you her friend? Um… best friend? Sister? Mother? Grandma? Daughter? What about Miss Misato? Yah know Miss Misato is my manager. She's kind and thoughtful… she's taking care of me a lot… she's one of the serious people that I've ever know. She already had a husband. Why did you decided to be a singer and a composer? Um… I think it's really hard to be a composer. By the way do yah have any husband or boyfriend, suitors, admirers? blah..blah…blah…" he keeps on babbling and babbling. I don't know if I'm going to admire him on how he speaks non-stoppable, is he even breathing at all. Or I'll be disappointed 'coz I didn't have the chance to speak. Or I'll just faint on the floor? How can I faint like that? I'm seating. Or I'll just walk out? Nah… I'll look like an idiot if I'll do that with no enough purpose at all.

"umm… Asuka? Asuka? Are you listening?" he asked me. I suddenly stopped thinking and I snapped my attention back to him.

"What was that? Can you repeat it?" uh-oh… I don't think it's a good idea.

"you sure?" he said.

"oh! No… it's okay? Well, my full name? I'm Asuka Langley Soryu. I'm 19 years old. No parents at all. I'm kinda independent. I can live on my own. Well, I'm kinda responsible, kind and jolly." Payback time…

"well, I decided to be a composer 'coz that's what I like to be since I was a child. I like writing songs specially when I feel very lonely, depressed or something. Boyfriend? Well, I don't have any and I'm not interested… maybe someday but for now… nah… Hikari… she's my sister…How about you can you say something about yourself? Do yah have any parents left to take care of you? Any sisters? Brothers? What about your career? Are you happy? Any wife, girlfriend or something? Blah… blah… blah…" I suddenly closed my eyes while

saying different kinds of stuff… with my left cheek leaning in my left hand and my left elbow is on the table, my right arm is resting on the table as well. That's why I don't know if he's listening at all or he walked away 'coz I can't hear anything except for my voice of course.

When I decided to open my eyes, I was shocked to see his face only inches away from mine. I suddenly backed away slightly which he also did. Then he said something.

"yah know your 'beautiful'…" he blurted. Okay! That was one answer that I didn't expect. He didn't even answer one of my questions!

"and… kinda hot…" he continued while looking at my chest again! Again I looked down to see my blouse unbuttoned again. Again I was really shocked to see his hands moving towards my chest… oh no! what is he going to do… hey! Do something Asuka! Don't just stare at him! Slap him or something! But… I didn't do anything. I was like a statue, just sitting there letting him to 'do' something 'nasty' . What surprised me the most is he didn't do anything perverted. He just buttoned it, then he spoke.

"I don't know if your seducing me or something Miss Soryu… you don't have to unbuttoned your blouse when I'm not looking…" he said while smirking! How could he!

"Of course not! Are you crazy!" I shouted after I stood up. I didn't notice that we're not the only people who's in there.

"I'm just joking! Don't shout… everybody is looking over here… don't embarrass me! Now calm down and take your sit." He whispered enough for me to hear. I did what he said.

"oh… a joke! It's not funny at all!" I said before folding my arms in my chest, then I looked away.

"oh… sorry… I didn't mean to…" once again he's looking at my chest.

"what! You little pervert! Can you stop looking at my chest!" I didn't notice that my blouse is unbuttoned again! Grrr…!

"stupid blouse!" I muttered which made him giggle. I looked at him bewilderedly. He flushed a little. Weirdo… then we continue to talk different kinds of stuff…

Finally we returned in the building and proceeded to the room where Misato is. There we saw Misato still typing something on her computer. Wonder what it is. Hikari is still not yet there. Shinji and I just stood there side by side looking at Misato.

"So… you two talk that much. Your gone for three hours." She said never leaving her eyes off the computer.

"Well, sorta… Asuka was 'fun-to-be-with'" he teased while taking a quick glanced at me then looking back at Misato.

"Oh really… great! Um… Asuka and you Shinji can go home after signing some papers. By the way Asuka, where are you currently staying?"

"At Hikari ma'am. I'll stay with Hikari and Touji until I can find a good apartment. I can't stay with them much longer specially 'coz they're getting married…"

"Yeah… Hikari said something about that…" then Misato stood up. Shut her computer then she looked at both of us.

"Let's go now so you can go home and have some rest.. specially you Asuka. You'll start singing in a Fancy restaurant tomorrow to build up your confidence." With that she headed to the door with Shinji and me following her at the back.

After signing some papers and stuffs. We said goodbyes to each other. Well, Misato stayed at the building, Shinji… sigh of course went home and Hikari, Touji and me went home as well. I immediately proceeded on my room to record everything that happened this day. After that I was going to change my stupid blouse and jeans when someone knocked on my door.

"um… Asuka, dinner's ready!"

"Yes Hikari… Just for a while…"

"okay! Don't take too much time…" with that I started to change my clothes. After that I went down and made my way to where Hikari and Touji was. There I saw them sitting side by side. They didn't seem to notice my presence 'coz they we're talking about something. I didn't meant to but I heard some of it. Again, because of my curiosity I listened to their conversation.

"So she is coming huh?…"

"Yes she is Touji… I think Shinji would be happy to see her…"

"yeah… of course… I think it's been 2 years or more…"

"That's quite long… he is her childhood friend? Am I right?"

"Yes Hikari… they are really close to each other. Actually they treat one another as brother and sister…"

Huh? What or should I say 'who' are they talking about? Shinji's childhood friend? I wonder what's the reason she left him? Hehe.. as if I care! Well, I think it's the time to show myself…

"Hi guyz! Whacha doin?" I asked them as if I didn't heard or know a single thing.

"Oh… it's nothing 'princess'… we're just talking about some kinds of stuff…" Touji said bluntly. I wonder why he used that 'word' again which made Hikari threw a death glare to him.

"Oh… I'm only kidding… of course you're my one and only princess Hikari…" with that he hugged her then followed by a peck on her cheek.

"Ahemm… don't wanna ruined your moment but I think just continue that lovey-dovey stuff later okay?…" with that I sat on a chair across the couple. Then we ate our dinner.

This time I decided to help Hikari in cleaning the dishes. She'll wash it and then I'll dry it.

"Um… Hikari? What we're you two talking about a little while ago…? I'm jus yah know… um… curious… but if you don't want to tell me.. it's okay?" Please tell me… please…please…please… the truth is I don't know what's the real reason I'm asking her this kinds of stuff… maybe just curiosity…

"Asuka… it's okay. I'll tell you… me and Touji were talking about Shinji's childhood friend. Well, she and Shinji separated when they we're 16 or 17 years old. It's kinda hard 'coz they grew together. They were really close. Unfortunately she had to go to Germany, where her father and mother were staying until now. She received a letter that his father is having a serious disease. So she had to go there to visit her father. After that, she didn't returned until now. Shinji didn't heard some news about her and then 2 weeks from now she'll be back." Hikari explained everything to me. I quite understand it. Maybe Shinji is lonely because of that… even if it's not that obvious.

"Well, why did she decided to come back…?"

"I don't know Asuka… I didn't saw her before of course… The others we're talking about her and Shinji. If she'll return 'coz she'll be her fiancé or she'll just continue her career here at Japan."

"what's her career by the way?" okay, as if I want to be her friend.

"Well, she's an actress."

"Oh… I see. An actress…"

"Um… Asuka… you look like your interested huh?…"

"No! I'm just yah know.. like what I've said… curious… By the way Hikari. Don't worry, just some couple of days and I'll find an apartment for me stay."

"Don't worry sis… it's okay. You can stay here as long as you want…"

"No! it's okay… yah know… I'm kinda used to this…" now… I wonder if I can easily find an apartment here. what if I'll just stay on my granniee's house! Yeah! That's great…

"Um… Asuka? Do yah think Touji love me?" okay… what is she talking about…

"Of course Hikari! Do yah think that he'll marry you if he didn't love you at the first place. If your thinking about what happen a little while ago… don't worry, he's just joking. Past is past…" I hope she'll believe me.

"What if, 'it' will come back…?" oh no!

"uh… Hikari… I told you you're the one that he loved now… that little something that he had on me when we were only in high school is just a crush or infatuation… it's not love. And right now, the way that he feels towards you is the one that I can call love. And yah know… love is sweeter the second time around…" I hope that she'll understand. I remember those times when we were in high school. Touji Suzuhara and his best friend Kaoru Nagisa are the first two students that approached us. Yes, many students were making friends as well, but those two were different. They are really kind and even if we only met for the first time. It feels like we four were really that close. I know that from the very start, my sister Hikari had something towards Touji but just don't have the confidence to tell him.

So Hikari decided to take some help from me to court him! I don't know why, their close but she just don't have the guts to ask him out or something. Feeling that my sister really needs help. I decided to help her. Well, because of that, instead that Touji and Hikari would be a couple. Touji developed a crush on me! Uh-oh! But I told him that I don't have a thing on him… I'm bad… I know I have, but I have to deny it because… sigh I love my sister! but I told him that we can still be friends… that's it!

Okay… Now I don't know why Hikari ever brought that thing up… finally Hikari and me finished cleaning the dishes. I turned to exit the kitchen while saying something.

"Don't worry Hikari I'll find a new home or a partment tomorrow…" I said with a little happy tone on my voice so that at least she'll not misinterpret me.

"Asuka------" okay, I cut her.

"it's okay! Really…" I stop on my tracks just near the stares and continue to speak.

"Well… I don't want to be the one responsible if ever… you know, you know that… but do trust Touji. I know he love you… Maybe he once 'loved' me but… it's the past. What's important is the present is 'you'" I turned around to see her smiling at me and ready to cry. I smiled and bow at her.

"Hikari… Domou Arigatou for accepting me even just for 'one day' on this house… I wish you two luck in your up coming wedding… Good night." then I made my way up to my room. I opened it and gently closed the door. I changed into pajamas then I started to laid on my bed while holding Tedskiee on my arms.

"Goodnight Tedskiee…" I whispered before I closed my eyes and drifted to a dreamless sleep.
