Chapter 5
The graduation day for the seniors at Eitoku High is finally here and Megumi and Aya are finally going to grow up. The Domyoji and Mimasaka family caused a great disturbance throughout the crowd.
Tsukasa, Tsukushi, T.J., Yuki, and Kisa sat up front and center with Akira, Sharon, and Aki. They sat there with their professional photographers all around the stage to take photographs of Aya and Megumi.
Apparently, the valedictorian is unsurprisingly, Megumi.
"I would like to say to us, the graduate students of Eitoku High, that we have a wonderful life ahead of us which many detours will show up. The chances of what will happen during our journey is a matter of the choices we make and one day our paths will definitely cross once again and we will see each other. All of us, each of us, individual people whom have a wonderful life has enjoyed or despised our years at Eitoku and where will we go next? We do not really know. I hope that each one of us will do well in our future and come back to Eitoku for the homecoming ceremony. Thank you."
The audience clapped and the ceremony began.
The athletic and drama awards given to Aya while the high achievement awards given to Megumi. All the little awards dispersed around.
After the ceremony, the class all threw their hats in the air and took off their robes. Then, the few invited guests to Aya and Megumi's congratulatory celebration on the cruise ship left.
"Aya, Megumi! Congratulations!" said Tsukushi.
Tsukasa nodded.
T.J., Aki, and Yuki looked out the window.
Kisa smiled brightly with her sister's hat and robes on and pretended to be a graduate too.
"Thanks," said Megumi and Aya.
Megumi has decided on attending Harvard and study law and business just for the sake of it. Aya chose to study design and architecture because she wants to build a Mimasaka for Aki to run with plenty of traps and other humiliating things around.
They arrived at the huge cruise ship which Tsukushi and Tsukasa got married on to find a bunch of cars and limousines leaving and coming. The Domyojis' and Mimasakas' got through easy because of the well-known Domyoji sign.
They got out of the limousine and got onboard the huge cruiser. The guests are all spending one night and one day on this ship free except for the Domyojis' and Mimasakas'.
The Domyojis' chose a room with a giant living room with bar, gourmet kitchen, business/dining area, and five bedrooms with four bathrooms.
The Mimasakas' have a room with a medium size living room with bar, business/ sitting area, and three bedrooms with two bathrooms.
Not to mention that the Nishikado and Hanazawa family are invited as well.
At dinnertime, the Mimasakas', Nishikados', Hanazawas', and Domyojis' all sat together as they had dinner.
"Good evening, thank you everyone for attending our wonderful party for our daughter Megumi and…," said Tsukushi.
"Our daughter, Aya," said Sharon.
The audience applauded.
"This is wonderful occasion which represents the changes that are sure to come for our daughters whom are graduating high school and leading yet another life in college," said Tsukushi and Sharon.
"Also, this is a special event which is to announce the acceptance of courtship for our eldest daughter's hand in marriage. Of course, only certain ones to the liking of Ms. Domyoji are accepted and we hope to meet with your sons shortly," said Tsukasa.
The audience applauded once again.
"Please enjoy the party and dancing will begin shortly," said Akira.
"You're accepting these sorts of decisions?" asked Aya.
"Yes," said Megumi.
"Since when? Why didn't you tell me? I would've been with you as well," said Aya.
"I decided this after the ball during my birthday," replied Megumi.
They sat there eating their dinner in peace. The Mimasakas' and as well as everyone but Megumi and her parents were surprised by this announcement.
After eating their dinner, everyone went into the ballroom and danced their hearts out.
During that whole time, rich heirs surrounded Megumi and eventually forced Aya away from Megumi.
"So Aya, my sister is really getting married huh?" asked T.J.
"She's not engaged yet but she's sort of arranging one. I had no idea and apparently no one else did either," said Aya.
"I know… man, that was shocking news. I hope she knows what she's doing by announcing it today. Sometimes, I think it is my fault that she has to marry early because I have to inherit the spot as heir and she being the eldest sort of interferes with the process. I wonder why…," said T.J.
"You don't have to feel bad for her Teej, besides, she decided this awhile ago. I have to do the same for my little bro too you know. I wish he would react the same way you do because he is so getting it when I have an arranged marriage. Be glad you've got a y in your chromosome," said Aya.
Aya walked away and got an MP dude to help her open a passage into the crowd and walk towards Megumi.
"Hey, T.J.!" yelled Aki and Toji.
"We heard about your sister getting married, we feel for you man. I mean, she is doing it for you. Maybe I should be glad that I have all brothers," said Toji.
"Yeah, but I have Aya and that's going to happen to her too. A marriage to a guy she barely knows. I feel bad but can't let the sympathy show. By the way, did my sister say anything to you that sounds suspicious?" asked Aki.
"What do you mean?" asked T.J.
"Like planning some evil plot for me in the near future," said Aki.
"Um… she did say she'd get you for not showing any sympathy towards her," said T.J.
"Oh shit!" said Aki.
Just then, Sam came over with his girlfriend Rino.
"Hey guys," said Sam.
Rino walked over to T.J. and consoled him by saying that its alright. He can live through it.
"So who do you think is the lucky guy?" asked Sam.
Rino walked over to Sam and playfully slapped his forearm.
They then scattered to do their own things and occupy themselves with it.
Kisa sat there wondering why the announcement made such a huge impact and asked Yuki to explain it to her.
"Kisa, what that announcement means is that Megumi is going to get married and join her husband as they live somewhere else just as happily. However, she is still finding that husband and when he is found, you and I will have a new brother-in-law. Get it?"
"Yes but why does Megumi want to leave? I don't want Megumi to leave," said Kisa.
"But Megumi is leaving for college soon so she'll be gone then too. Besides, she'll come back and visit some time," said Yuki.
Kisa just sat there with a sad look on her face and didn't even touch her dessert. Yuki ate his quietly but only halfway. Their parents are mingling with the crowd.
After the party, they all went back to their rooms and Kisa attached herself onto Megumi with their desserts in tow.
In Megumi's Room
"Megumi, why are you getting married? Who's my brother-in-law?" asked Kisa.
They are eating their desserts on a tray on Megumi's bed.
"Because I am getting older and needs to build my life. Besides, there's nothing to be sad about, I'll come back lots and visit Kisa as well as the rest of the family. But I'm not sure who your brother-in-law would be yet," said Megumi.
"Okay…," said Kira with some uncertainty. "Can I sleep with Megumi tonight?"
"Of course but don't you want your own queen size bed?" asked Megumi.
"No. Kisa like Megumi so she's sleeping with sister tonight," said Kisa.
They brushed their teeth, changed into their nightwear, and went to sleep.
"So Tsukasa, how many proposals have we received so far?" asked Tsukushi.
"Well, I let my secretary handle it and ordered her to list them by ranking in society and their backgrounds," said Tsukasa.
"That's mean Tsukasa!" exclaimed Tsukushi.
"But she is getting paid a lot. Besides, wouldn't you rather have it in that order?" asked Tsukasa.
Then Tsukasa tackled Tsukushi and well… (lemon stuff)
'So she's getting engaged for me,' thought T.J.
The next morning, the ship came back to land and all the guests got off the ship except for the F4 families. They stayed onboard and called their secretaries for their work. This is their family summer vacation and this may be their last.
Tsukasa had the papers he wanted faxed in, it turned out to be around thirty suitors, and twenty unsuited. The ten top are from:
Harrison Family
Martin Family
Nishikado Family(Kin, unwanted, sadly)
Amakusa Family (enemy much?)
Kazuya's Family (enemy much? I totally forgot his last name)
Yukihawa Family
Ushuaia Family
Carlton Family
Garrison Family
Jinguushi Family
He peered through the list and carefully looked through the background check of these people. Apparently, one, two, eight, and nine are from either America or Europe. Then the rest are Japanese.
"Morning mom," said T.J.
"Good morning mommy!" exclaimed Kisa.
"Good morning mother," said Megumi.
"Aloha mother, so when are we arriving in Hawaii?" said Yuki.
"Good mornings! We are arriving in Hawaii in a day or so Yuyu," said Tsukushi.
"Mom, I told you not to call me that. It sounds like a girl's name," replied Yuki.
"For breakfast today, mommy made some of her famous commoner's soup! It has chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes, noodles, and meatballs! Eat up!" exclaimed Tsukushi.
'Well isn't she bright today' thought all the children.
"Hey, what smells so good?" asked Tsukasa.
"It's my commoner's soup!" replied Tsukushi.
They kissed each other and Tsukasa handed the newspaper to Tsukushi.
"Alright! Give me some!" exclaimed Tsukasa.
'Scratch that, aren't they both overly cheery?' thought all the children.
When Tsukushi opened the newspaper, she found the list of proposals on the business section and handed the comic and puzzle section to the children. She scanned through the list to find three, four, and five marked with a little (x) next to the name. She giggled at it and folded up the newspaper and placed it carefully in her purse. Then they all worked on their breakfast.
Tsukushi tried forcing three bowls into each of their stomachs but they all stopped at one and a half or two. Only she and Tsukasa made it to three.
"So what should we all do today?" asked Tsukushi.
"I think I'll take Kisa up to the pool today," said Megumi.
"I think I'll go too, besides, what if my idiot friends try something again," said T.J.
"I'll head to the stores and buy things that are necessary for our rooms," said Yuki.
"Alright, but at lunch, we'll all meet in the living room so that we can eat at Hong Kong," said Tsukasa.
"Okay!" exclaimed Tsukushi.
They all scattered.
"Tsukasa, which one should we introduce to her? Is Mr. Harrison and his family onboard?" asked Tsukushi.
"I checked and yes he is. Should we go meet his son?" asked Tsukasa.
"I think we should. Let's leave now," said Tsukushi.
They went to the floor below theirs and knocked on the door. Mr. Harrison himself opened the door and were surprised to find Mr. and Mrs. Domyoji.
"Oh…Mr. and Mrs. Domyoji, pleased to meet you. I am Mr. Harrison. Please do come in. I see you must be interested in our eldest son, Peter Harrison. Please sit while I get him," said Mr. Harrison.
Just then, the door in front opened again to reveal a young man around his twenties with blond and brown hair and purple eyes. He was the handsomest of all the guys Tsukasa and Tsukushi has ever seen. And he even carried a thick novel with a newspaper.
"Hello, I am Peter Harrison, and who might you two be?" asked Peter.
He bent down and kissed Tsukushi's hand and then did a manly handshake with Tsukasa.
"Nice to meet you Peter. We're Megumi's parents," said Tsukasa.
"Ah, Megumi Domyoji. Pleased to meet you I'm sure. By the way, you have raised a gorgeous daughter. We haven't met properly yet but from afar, I can tell," said Peter.
Okay, this is yet again, another long chapter. I hope you're liking because I am exhausted. Does this sort of make up for the ones I have missed? Thank you!
