Chapter 2: Time to think

Miyako had gotten home from school and luckly no one was home. Since starting high school her brother and sisters had finally moved out. But they still helped out at the store when they could. Her sister Chizuru had left school to become a housewife like their mother. Married young and was already expecting her first child. Momoe graduated but didn't go on to college but she is happy working extra at the store so Miyako didn't have to work there as much now that she was in high school.

Miyako walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the table. She was about to walk into her room to start her homework when someone knocked on the door. When she opened the door she wasn't expecting to see who was there.

"Osamu what are you doing here?"

"Well I figured maybe you can help me with my lines and I can help you with yours."

"I never said I was taking the part. The director said I could think it over for two days."

"I know but I wish you would. You have an amazing voice. No one will be able to get it right."

"I appreciate your vote of confidence in me but I said I wasn't auditioning for the play. But since you are here I will help you with your lines for a little while before I start my homework."

"Oh I can help you with that as a thanks if you'd like. I did take those classes two years ago."

"No thank you. I think I can handle it. We can sit in the living room. My parents aren't home so we don't have to hide in my room."

They spent about two hours running lines. Osamu left when her parents came home and thanked her for her help. Before he left he said he wished she would really consider taking the part in the play, which of course, didn't go unheard by her parents. Osamu smiled as the door closed and her parents asking her questions about it.

When he got back to Tamachi and walked into his apartment his parents were in the living room watching TV. "Osamu where have you been?"

"I was at Miyako's." Ken who was in the kitchen then walked in.

"Why were you at Miyako's?"

"She was helping me run lines. We were helping each other."

"She never made the decision to take the part."

"I know but maybe if we practice together she will decide to take the part."

"I am so happy for you Osamu."

"Please don't cry mom."

"I know I shouldn't but my son in a play. Is there anything you can't do?"

Ken just rolled his eyes at his parents. Sure Ken was a genius too with the help of the Dark Spore and even though he didn't feel it anymore he was still smart but Osamu was the first born so it didn't matter. Ken walked to his room leaving them to praise their oldest son. When Ken got to his room his cell phone was blinking. When he looked at the message he blushed. It was from Miyako.

"Hey are you free?"

He decided to call her. It didn't take her long to answer. "Hello?"

"Hey Miyako what's up?"

"I know it is a lot to ask you to take the time to come over but do you think you can? I need your help."

"Help with what? I thought the Calculus homework was pretty easy."

"It was. It has nothing to do with homework. Please Ken I think you are the only one who can help me right now."

"What about Hikari?"

"Yeah considering she got me into this mess I'd rather not."

"You mean with the play?"

"Yeah but I don't want to talk over the phone."

"Okay I will be there soon."

"Thank you so much Ken.

"You're welcome Miyako."

Ken then walked out of his room and Osamu was showing his parents the script and all the lines he had to learn. It wasn't until Ken was grabbing his coat that is father spoke up to him.

"Where are you off to son?"

"Oh Miyako called. She needs help with some homework. Since we are in the same classes I told her I would go over and help."

"Please don't stay out late Ken."

"I won't mom."

"Hey tell Miyako thanks again for me."

"Sure."

That was all Ken said to his brother before he walked out the door. Ken decided to take the bus. Sure it would take a little longer than the train but the bus stop was closer to her apartment building. When Ken go off he bus he was standing outside of Miyako's favorite cafe. He stopped in and picked up her favorite pastry.

"Hey Ken what are you doing here?"

"Hey Iori. Miyako asked for help with something so I thought I would pick up her favorite pastry for her."

"Is she okay? I feel like I haven't been able to see all of you since you all entered high school."

"Yeah she is okay. And don't worry you will be with us again next year."

"Yeah I know. I take my entrance exams in a couple of months. Miyako actually said she would help me study for those."

"Well if you'd like I can help too if she gets busy."

"Thanks Ken I appreciate it. How about we just make it a study group. I would love the both of you helping me."

"Sounds great. We will make the plans when it gets closer."

Ken just looked at the younger teen. Iori had definitely gotten taller but still not as tall af Ken. He was probably around the same height as Miyako and she reached his shoulders. Ken was then taken from his thoughts when he heard someone call for Iori.

"Come on Iori we need to study."

"I'm coming Noriko."

"Noriko?"

"Yeah," Iori blushed. "We are in the same class this year."

"Good luck."

"Thanks. Good luck with Miyako."

It was then that Ken had a blush of his own. Iori smiled and walked away. As Ken watched him go he knew he had to get to Miyako's. When he reached her building he took a quick look in the store to see if her parents were there. The only person inside was her sister Momoe. She was reading a magazine just waiting for people to come in. Ken then went up to her apartment. When he knocked on her door her father answered.

"Hello Mr. Inoue."

"Hello Ken. Miyako said you were coming by. Come on in. I will get her for you."

"Thank you sir."

Ken didn't have to wait long for Mr. Inoue to return with Miyako. "Thank you so much for coming Ken. We can talk in my room."

"Alright. Oh this is for you." Ken handed her the pastry.

"Oh I haven't had one of these in forever! Thank you so much."

Ken stopped when they were walking by the kitchen. "Hello Mrs. Inoue."

"Oh hello Ken. Dinner is almost ready would you like to stay?"

"Sure sounds great."

"Alright I will call you both when it is ready."

"Thank you."

Ken and Miyako walked in her room and she closed the door. Ken sat down in the computer chair and on the desk sat the script for the play. "I thought you weren't going to take the part?"

"I don't know yet but he told me to take the script to think it over. I have two days to make a decision."

"How do you feel about it?"

"As much as I want to be mad at Hikari right now I can't be. It is just my fault as hers. I should have made my voice sound horrible. Then maybe I could go on with my normal life."

"You and I both know we don't have normal lives Miyako."

"I know," Miyako then grabbed her D-3 from her backpack.

"You still carry yours too?"

"Yeah. Hoping it will light up one day. Do you think of Wormmon?"

"Everyday."

"Same. I would rather be facing evil Digimon than this play."

Ken let out a laugh. "That says a lot."

"What do you think I should do?"

"Well it is up to you Miyako. I can't make the decision for you."

"Why does this seem to be the hardest decision I have to make. What would you do?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. Would you do it?"

"Well my decision would be based on a lot of things."

"Like what?"

"Well it would depend on what part I would be told to think about taking, who was playing the other role opposite to mine, if I would feel comfortable being in a part that would require myself to have a love interest with them. Things like that."

"Well that makes it harder then. No one is cast in the role of Raoul yet. So I can't even think about the love interest side."

"Well you can with one side. Isn't the Phantom in love with Christine too?"

"I already forgot about that. It will be so weird doing that with your brother."

"Osamu doesn't seem bothered."

"Of course he doesn't. I'm sorry to say I know he is your brother Ken, but he is just so suffocating. Maybe if the part of Raoul was someone I knew rather than a student I didn't know or couldn't stand it would be easier."

Ken smiled a little on the inside. He was happy that Miyako didn't seem to return the feelings for him that his brother seems to put out for her. Though that didn't mean he should tell her how he feels. She hasn't shown that kind of interest in his in years. Ken was broken from his thoughts when Mrs. Inoue knocked on the door and said that dinner was ready.

After they ate Ken was helping Miyako clean up the kitchen. She was washing the dishes and he was drying. They weren't talking. He knew she was thinking about the play. While they were eating her parents were talking about it saying how she should take the part. Ken looked out of the corner of his eyes to the beautiful girl. He could see it in her eyes that she was still unsure and she was upset that everyone seemed to think she should take the part. After they finished cleaning up Ken had said he needed to get home.

"Thanks for coming over Ken."

"Anytime Miyako. You know that."

"I know. I have a lot to think about."

"I know you do but remember it is ultimately your decision. If you decide to not take the part then no one can be mad at you for it. You didn't want it in the first place. And if you do decide to take it then great. And it would have been your final decision to do it and no one elses."

"I am glad I asked for for help on this. You seem to be the only one who isn't forcing me to do this. If your brother didn't say anything when he left my parents wouldn't have known about it. Then I wouldn't have to think about this so much."

"Don't drive yourself crazy with thinking over it to much. We all know how you get then you overthink things."

"Shut up Ken," Miyako said with a laugh.

Ken had said good night to Miyako. She gave him a quick hug which he returned trying to hide his blush. When she pulled back she smiled at him. He walked out the door and went on his way back to Tamachi. He knew she had a lot to think about and wished he could help her more. It was then he knew there was something he could do to help. Hopefully he would be making the right decision as well.

Well there is the next chapter. The next chapter they will actually start rehersals. So I hope you all liked the chapter. And as always please review!
