Fateful First Encounter
It's been two full weeks and I'm getting ready for the nationals for the gymnastics team which will be taking place this coming Sunday! That's tomorrow night! I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Who is it?" I yelled. "It's me Ichi." My father answered. I opened the door. "Hello dad, what is it?" I asked, he smiled. "A guest is here." He asnwered. "Really? Who is it?" I asked. "You'll find out, he's waiting for you in the living room." He answered. We walked down the hall, there sitting on the leather couch was the presiden of the N-G company, my uncle Tohma Seguchi. "Uncle Tohma!" I cried. "What're you doing here?" I asked out of curiosity. "Hello Ichigo, it's nice to see you again. I came here to take you out to eat since I will not be able to tomorrow after the nationals," he answered kindly. "Oh, I have to see about my fa-" "Go ahead Ichi, I really don't mind." my father had interrupted me, I smiled and gave my father a kiss on the cheek and I grabbed my fur coat and walked out with Tohma. "Aunt Mika, is she coming?" I asked. "She's working late tonight." Tohma answered. "Oh." I replied. Tohma opened the door to the passenger side and when I got in, he closed the door and got into the driver's side. As we arrived at the resturaunt, we were seated in a non-smoking area. The resturaunt was very beautiful in the inside, it had golden counters in the front and every table was made of marble, waitresses and busers wore fancy clothing.
"This plase is amazing Tohma." I had said as I was looking around. "This is one of the most expensive resturaunts in Japan."Tohma had said, the waitress had brought our dinner. "Ichigo, I wish you luck on your nationals tomorrow." he said I looked a bit sad, and almost happy. "Uncle Tohma?" I said, he looked up."Yes Ichigo?" He had answered back to his name. "Why can't you atleast be there to see me?" I said, almost about to cry. "I'm sorry Ichigo, but I promise tobe there to see you." he replied, trying to cheer me up. I smiled, as we finished we walked out of the resturaunt and went to the parking lot. "Ichigo, wait right here, I almost forgot something." Tohma ran back into the resturaunt. I sat down on the bench and noticed someone walking up to me, I hesitated. "Um, hello? Who are you?" I asked, a bit frightened. "The name's Yoshiko Kitazawa." The woman answered.
"K--Kitazawa?" I asked wonderously. "Why have I heard of that name before?" I wandered, I looked up at Yoshiko, she looked back. "Becuase I know your father, the famous romance novelist, Eiri Yuki, the guy whom killed my young brother, Yuki Kitazawa." she answered, I stepped back, Tohma had walked out and paused. "Ichigo!" Tohma called out. "Yoshiko?" he said again, like he knew the girl. "You know her?" I asked Tohma. "Well, Yeah, I met her back in New York a long time ago." He answered. I sighed, I walked over to Tohma's side. "Well, well, Tohma, it's nice to see you again." Yoshiko had said to Tohma. "I'm sorry, but we have to go, I need to take Ichigo home, may we speak some other time?" Tohma asked Yoshiko, she gave an evil glare. "Yeah, fine. As you wish." she answered as she walked away. We headed back to my father.
