Naota is 16 and Mamimi is 17.
One
and a half years ago...
"Oh, now with the high and mighty
talk! Let us see you talk now." the tall boy said with a slight
grin, the only thing that you can see is his fit body shadow in the
dark, dim alleyway, in the small town of Mabase.
"Come on
Takun, let's go before the cops come." A small girl said with
worry in her voice. Takun went up to the people on the ground and
took their money and ran. They just laid there, still.
"Mamimi,
do you want to go to the market?"
"For what? All we ever
eat is bread." said Mamimi with a horrifying look on her face.
She was upset for what they had just done.
"I guess we'll
taken care of as long as we work for..."
"At least you
are not going hungry!" Yelled Takun, him and Mamimi was going
out for a year now, and they had ran away two months before. They
wanted to be together without the rule of their parents. They truly
loved each other, but Mamimi was having her doubts wondering if it
would work.
She sat down on the dirty sidewalk.
"Adults
are stupid. They swallow whatever they're given and then die."
Then
Takun said looking across the river, where their home town was, then
at the bridge where the two of them hung out many a time.
"On
the other hand, young people have no power."
Then they went
walking down the lane to the market.
"Im tired, are we there
yet Takun."
"I hope that they don't fine out what you
did." He said.
"What I did, you did it all by your
self!" Mamimi screamed as the birds around her rose.
"But
you were their, and you spent the money. So we are in it together,
just like we wanted it."
"But not as people who mug.
That is not me, that is not you. What did we turn into Takun?"
she started to tear up, and sat down besides a small house. The smell
of food was in the air and the street light was flickering. A couple
of cars passed before Takun said something, he was probaly thinking
of what
Mamimi had just said to him.
"So I am going to
America, are you going to come?"
"No!" she screamed
"I hate America, it sucks!"
"I like America, its
nice. They gave me a glove and invited me to play baseball. Baseball
Mamimi, that is Americas' past-time."
"Of course they
did, but that is only because you would defect to America."
she
said it with malice in her voice, she was getting sick with the
subject.
"So what, are you going to quite being
Japanese?"
Said Mamimi quickly.
"What is with that
faggot haircut. You japanese think that you are the kings of the
world." she glared at him.
"Fine screw you I'm leaving.
I'll just live with Naota he loves me more then you do. And besides I
have a dream and he will help me with that. I was going to give it up
for you."
she started to cry, but he just kept on
smiling.
"Your dad was supposed to become some type of big
shot, but he never had the guts to commit hara-kiri,did he?"
then
she got up and held him by the shirt and had her right arm cocked
back.
"Go ahead if it will make you feel better do it. Then
you will quite your bitching and we could contiue."
she hit
him so hard, he went flying through the air. When he hit the ground
she said
"They both did it, my dad and my friend, If you ever
talk about them again, I'll kill you."
then she got her
things and left for her home town. She found out later that he left
too, but not to home, but America. She never forgave him for that,
but a little piece of her still loved him. She came back to me,
crying in my arms I held her.
"Mamimi, it will be alright,
I'm here for you don't worry."
She kept on crying, it killed
me to think that my own brother could do this to her, of all people,
he knew her as good as I did.
"Naota, you won't hurt me will
you?"
I looked at her, in her eyes and whispered.
"I
will never hurt you like my brother did, I love you too much to do
that. I would kill myself before I do that."
she smiled at me
and said
"Thanks Naota, I love you too."
Then she
embraced me, I could feel the love that she had for me, it was an
euphoria of love that she had then.
"Come on Mamimi, it is
getting cold out here, you should get inside and get some
sleep."
"Can I sleep with you tonight Naota, I'm really
cold."
She said it with an smile on her face, I knew what she
was getting at. "The candies that are under my
bed."
"Fine."
Then she smiled and we went
inside, that is when she told me what they did and how they did it.
As we got to my room, she threw off her shirt and jeans, and I did
the same. I could feel her cold, chilled body when we got into the
bed together.
"Hey Nauta, thanks your are the best friend
that I have now."
I leaned over and kissed her on the lips
and said.
"Good night Mamimi."
She just looked over at me with those big, beautiful eyes and smiled. That was probaly the first night in two months that she had a good nights sleep.
In the town of Mabase, nonthing interesting happens, execpt for a girl on a vespa comes and runs me over, my brothers girlfriend hits on me, and I have a robot coming out of my head. Yeah, nonthing special.
My
name is Naota Nashetiami and I'm 6 foot high, I have brown hair, blue
eyes and I wear a black hoodie with blue jeans, andblack army boots.
Then there is my brothers exgirlfriend Mamimi Samijima.
She is 5'8
and has brownish red hair, wears a blue school jacket and underneath
that is a white shirt with a red star, and a plaid mini skirt. Her
eyes are hazel. She was my brothers girlfriend until he left us to go
to the U.S. to play baseball. The two of them met one day when Mamimi
set the school on fire by accident. She was 12 when it happened, and
I was 11. He left us one and a half year ago, ever since she called
me Takun. She treats me like she did my brother, but she never kissed
me. Now I'm 15 and she is 16, we have grown to become very good
friends. We were underneath the bridge where we usually hang out. The
bridge isn't that big, the river spans 50ft, and it is on the
outskirts of the town. The warn august air was moist, the river was
giving of stream in the moring mist.
"Hey
Takun." Mamimi moaned as she draped her body over mine. knocking
me back on to the wet ground.
"Yeah, what is it?" I
said.
She looked at me with care and said
"You will never
change will you Takun?"
"Nope. And if I did, it would be
with you."
Then she smiled at me and said
"Takun you
know that I can't do the kind of stuff unless your brother writes me
back and tell me that it's over."
Then she started to tear
up. It hurt her to know that my brother was half way around the world
and that me and her were the only things keeping her from dieing. She
really cared for him, she always did but she wanted to go out with me
and she promised him that she wouldn't do that, she was always good
to her word, even after what he did to her one and a half years ago.
I sat up and hugged her and said
"Im sorry Mamimi, let me get
you something to drink."
"I hope that he didn't forget
about us, like my parents did." She said.
She was left alone
when the fire happened that burnt down our school, her parents always
hit her, so one day she hit back. Her parents left her alone, they
moved out saying that if you want to do adult things, you must that
the responsibility of one too.
I
climbed the stairs to the top of the bridge where the soda machine
was. She came up behind me and pushed for a pulp drink. I hated it
but it was for her.
"Hey Takun, do you want the rest their is
half left?"
"Ok, hey what is that sound?"
Then
out of the corner of my eye I saw a yellow vespa coming down the
road. It hit me, I blacked out.
The
next thing that I know I have some hot chicks tongue in my mouth. I
thought that I died and went to heaven, but then I heard Mamimi
yelling at someone, calling them a skank.Damn
"What are you
doing to Takun?"
"Well what does it look like I'm
doing...C.P.R." The girl said, she had pink hair to her
shoulder, yellow eyes, stood 5'10 and wore a red vest with black
strips on the bottom, a white long sleeve shirt under that, and long
leather pants with white boots that came up to her knees.
Then I
sat up and said "Thanks, now can you please get off of me?"
"
Oh but Rah-rah, I thought that you like this kind of stuff."
then
I pushed her off and said " Get off, and my name is Naota!'
"But
I throught that it was Takun, Takun." Mamimi said looking with a
face that of a killers.
" Well then, I see that this is your
girlfriend. I'll left."
With that she got back on her vespa
and left.
" Boy Takun, she had to be at least in her
twenties."
" Ya, I wish some people would just grow
up."
Mamimi left the bridge, and she walked me back home. It
was 5:00pm when we got back. My house was the average house, but my
Grand-father ran a bakery in the lower half of the house. My father
wrote artices for the new-type magize. He moved out to Tokyo to have
me and my brother live a normal live. As I walked into the kitchen I
see my father standing there with a bandage on his head.
"
Hey Nao, guess what, I got us a house-keeper. It was as destiny had
played it out, she ran me over with her Vespa. In return she offered
to clean the place up as long as I house her."
I looked at
him with a dumbfounded look thinking, please don't this be the lady
from before.
" Hi." said the girl in the corner of the
room.
" AAH , it's you, the girl from before!"
"
Yes, its me Haro-Haro Haruko! We didn't have time to properly meet
each other."
" Ya you couldn't talk because you had your
tongue is his mouth!" Mamimi yelled. She stood there glaring at
the girl, like a old west showdown was going to happen.
"Well
then, I'm going to leave this room, and I am going to take a
shower."
"Ok fine Naota, I'll be up in a second."
Haruko said.
When I climbed the stairs I head Mamimi yell
something at my dad, something like why is she staying here, she will
rape Takun.
After I got done, I went into my room and proceeded to
take off the towel, exposing myself to get my cloths on. And Haruko
was standing there looking at me with a smile on her face, like she
enjoyed it. I wondered if Mamimi was right.
"Hey there,
Takun, you should put this on."
She gave me my boxers. As I
slide them on she said.
"You know that thing that happened at
the bridge, it was fate that brought us together."
"Ya
and why do you thing that?"
"Well, the look that you
gave me when you woke up, it was like you were in love with me. How
cute, little Takun here has his first crush, and it's not on a skank
like Mamimi."
"How dare you say that about her, I love
her very much."
"Well sorry about that, I am just a
little angry with this thing that I have."
"And what's
that?"I said with curiosity, her tone of a low drawl confused me
a little.
"Nothing, not yet anyway. So where am I sleeping
tonight? How about the top bunk?"
"No the top one is my
brothers, and the bottom one is mine."
Then I got in the
covers of the warm hand made quilt that my grandmother made, and
started to fall asleep. But then Haruko came and took her cloths off
and got in my bed with me.
"What, what are you doing here?
You can't sleep here, with me, Mamimi won't allow it!"
Then
she turned around and said.
"Well you said that the top bunk
is your brothers, and since the bottom one is yours, I figured that I
could sleep with you. And besides, Mamimi isn't here, so what she
don't know doesn't hurt her, right?"
The next moring, I woke
up with Haruko almost laying on top of me, and some how, my boxers
were off.
"Hey Takun, whats up?"
"Just sleeping,
and thinking of how my boxers got taken off of me."
"Well
that wasn't me, I was sleeping like a good little girl."
she
grinned, I knew the truth of what was going on in her hand of hers. A
grand scheme of how to make Mamimi hate me and to make my life
hers.
"Haruko, why do you like me so much?"
"Because,
there is just something about you that calms me down, that is probaly
why Mamimi likes you so much."
"Does she say anything
good about me?"Then I thought of Mamimi, and what she would of
said to that question 'Well if I told you, that would take all of the
fun out, now wouldn't it?'
"Do you really like me Takun? Do
you?"
"No Haruko, you are just a friend to me, and
besides I'm in love with Mamimi and I hope that she feels the same
way about me."
"Well she doesn't, she was talking about
you outside, and she said that she likes you, but she is not I'm love
with you. And by the looks of it, there isn't a chance in
hell."
"Wow, I never thought of it like that, by the
ways she flirts with me and all. Hey Haruko, you wouldn't lie to me
would you?"
She sat up in the bed, and but on her bra and
some pajama pants. She then got up and got her guitar and played some
Pillows songs, the first one was 'Funny Bunny'.
"Why yes I
might."
"Damn it Haruko, Tell me the truth!"
"No
I promised Mamimi that I would not tell you."
"Please
Haruko, for me?"
"She is at the bridge, go down there
and ask her for yourself."
