Chapter 7: A Maid's Adventure
xooox
"Kanako-chan!" Mariya-chan's over excited voice interrupts my chores; she's really stoked about me accompanying her to the museum today. Honestly; I've never even been to the museum as well so I'm pretty excited as well.
And the best part of it all...
I'm finally gonna get to be away from that demon's offspring! Oh yes...a whole day without Shizu-sama is magnificent, not being able to witness his idiotic, overly-stubborn, sadistic, son of a bitchin ass face and smirk! Oh God it's like heavenn~
"Kanako-chan, are you ok? Not to be mean but your smile is scaring me..." I straighten my face normally as I apologize for scaring her, it's just knowing that the damn little devil won't be any near my blind spot is soo amazing. Dear Lord, I just have been a good girl to receive such a blessing today! I won't let you down, I promise!
"Now your drooling Kanako-chan..." I can hear Mariya-chan's voice tell me as she places her hand on my head.
"I think you've worked enough for today...let's get ready ok?"
"Huh? oh yes..ehehe" I add as I laugh nervously.
Moments later after I finish vacuuming the family room I go upstairs and prepare for the day, I decide to peek at Mariya-chan's room to see how she's doing; her room is soo pretty! She has her walls painted a sky blue color and her bed covers are a light beige tone..it all fits so well with each other. Mariya-chan is sitting in her beanbag watching TV and I can tell she's ready; she catches someone watching her and looks up at me and smiles. "Are you done Kanako-chan?" she asks
"I am, I'm gonna take a quick shower and I'll be ready in 20 minutes tops" I reassure her. She nods as her smile widens further "That's alright, I'm in no hurry, just take your time." She's so caring! She's patient and very calm; unlike a 'certain' damn little monster...
In case it should be of anyone's interest (which it shouldn't be..) Shizu-sama had a doctors appointment this early morning, then after that, he had to go to a tournament right after and it's said he won't be back until late afternoon! How great it is...
"Um..Kanako-chan? You're doing the creepy smile again..." That I am..
After taking a refreshing shower and washing my long overly greasy hair and blow drying it, I exit the bathroom happy that for once Shizu-sama isn't being a damn pervert at just sitting on my bed and watching me, with a sigh of utter happiness I proceed in getting dressed; since we will be walking around I decided to just go comfortable. I was wearing a beige tank top that went to the top of my waist along with some dark blue jeans and my white sneakers, I then wore a black choker to add as an accessory and finally for my hair, I simply did two corn rolls and pushed my edges up front with my brush.
"Hmm..seems pretty simple.." I add as I look at the mirror, I was content, I was never the type to wear dresses all the time, leave me with my pants and shorts. "Alright let's go!" I state with a smile.
"I'm ready Mariya-chan!" I yell as I exit my room and walk over to hers; she exits her room at the same time and smiles at me "You look pretty Kanako-chan!" she tells me; Mariya-chan is always complimenting me that I'm always left flustered. "Y-yea..but you look amazing as always Mariya-chan" I add-it's true Mariya-chan always dresses so cute and fashionable and what's more amazing is how easy she looks, she could wear anything and it would look ten times better than me. She is wearing a blue and white plaid shirt that's tied to the front right in her belly button and then she has high-waisted black shorts with some white socks and black boots; her hair is messily pulled back into a ponytail leaving nothing in the front but her bangs toward the left. She's absolutely beautiful.
"Oh thank you Kanako-chan, I'm so happy we're finally going out together," she comments happily, I nodded in agreement with her. "Me too, let's go and let Rindo know we're ready to leave.
We both head downstairs and towards the kitchen where we find Rindo sitting on the chair with a small book in his hands, I can't help but stare as I notice his face...he normally has a smile of a jokester but seeing his face smooth and serious is really nice...and it most definitely didn't help when his eyes met mine, it made my heart flip for some unknown reason.
Lately, my face would heat up whenever he would call me cute, I know he says that just to be friendly but I can't help but wish that he did mean it truly. Hmm what does all this mean! I've never felt so shy before, I'm not shy at all dammit!
"Kanako-chan, are you alright? Your face is really red?" I was so into my thoughts I didn't notice that Rindo was not leaning in front of me and looking at me with concerned eyes. I jumped back out of instinct as I quickly averted my eyes from his "I-I'm fine, n-no worries..." I stuttered. I don't relax until I see him smile reassuringly "Ah well good, I wouldn't want ya getting sick now." Urgh..why won't my damn heart stop!?
"Y-Yea.." I stutter once more.
He chuckles and offers me a grin as he stands up and put his small book in his back pocket "Now then ladies, how can I be of service for you?" He asks with an elegant bow.
"Kanako-chan and I are going to the museum!" Mariya-chan adds in.
"Really now? Which one?" Which one? There's more than one museum?
"Hmm..the art one!"Mariya-chan decides; she looks at me and asks "Do you wanna go to the art one Kanako-chan?" I smile at her and nod "Sure!"
"Well alright then, shall we head off then?" Rindo states as he offers me and Mariya-chan his arm..huh what's he doing? My eyes wide when I see Mariya-chan giggle and wrap her arm around his. 'He's...' I think as my face goes red again...dammit. As I don't want to draw attention to myself for the third or fourth damn time today I walk and nervously link my arm to his-he even tightens it and I pray that he doesn't hear my heart.
I have never seen a place so fucking huge! We arrived in 30 minutes and I was shocked to see so many people walking in and out, I had never knew that a place like this existed but due to my families troubles; we never had the opportunity to go to many places, a part of me is happy to be here but another is sad that my family won't be able to see such a pretty place. "It's soo big" I add softly
"It is when you think about it, come on let's go in!" Mariya-chan adds as she takes hold of my hand and we exit the car and run inside, I turn to Rindo and thank him and he only smiles and waves at me.
"Will Rindo just stay in the car?" i ask her.
"Nah, he'll just wait in one of the restaurants across the street until we're ready to leave." Oh..
Now the art museum on the inside is completely different than I would have imagined; I had pictured it being just all about paintings and sculptures but it actually defines the term 'art' as in it has singing, dancing, painting, and anything that deals with art. I was surprised to have seen the many people from different countries singing in their native tongue.
I wanted to see everything but I don't think that I would have time to see it all. Mariya-chan wanted us to go to the music I kinda figured since she takes piano and has an interest in music; honestly; I enjoyed watching the different orchestras singing and performing. My favorite was Jamacia I just fell in love with their accent!
"Their all soo good! " I comment as we head upstairs to watch the dancers preform next, suddenly a spicy yet meaty smell makes it's way into my nostrils, damn that sure smells good. "Mmm what's that?" I ask completely in a trance as I use my nose to lead me to a food stand; a man with long hair in braids looks down at me.
I never knew that there were so many different people here in Japan, his skin complexion is dark with his teeth being the only noticeable thing but it's honestly really pretty.
"I take it ya like the smell, ya man?" His accent is familiar. Until it hits me; he's Jamaican.
"I do, what is that?" I ask interested. He grins at me as he as he lifts the top of his stove and the smell that's been enchanting me; hits me all at once making it ten no twenty times more addicting then anything I've ever with a spatula he lifts up the juiciness and places it in a plate; I don't about anyone else but I'm a sucker for nice crisp and overly burnt meat-especially chicken breast and steak; my mouth is literally wet with saliva. "This is my only crispy and burnt one, since I'm touched how your soo into the smell of it and seemed to not be afraid of me I'll give it to ya for free, man"
What? Did he just say what I think he said?
"Free?" I ask shocked; I can't do that I mean I'm not sure if this is his daily job but I wouldn't want to cut him short of taking home money.
"Ya Man, cause I likes ya!" He answers back, even if I'm completely touched by it; I'm just not that kind of person.
"I'll take it.." I start to say as I grab the plate from his hands. "But I'm going to give you 25 yen, that's all I have on me." The man looks at me and I shake my head before he can protest. "You deserve some tip for giving such a yummy treat to me! So we're even" I conclude.
He's still shock for a moment before he bursts out laughing "Haha Raster! I like ya man!" He comments as he ruffles my hair. I stare a good glance at his face and notice that he has pretty hazel eyes. I can't help but grin at the thought to have met a person like him.
As I bid him farewell I notice I never got his name; turning to face him I wave good bye with a smile "My names Kanako! What's yours!?" I yell. Laughing for the second time today he lifts his hand up "Sanka!" (NOTE: Guess where I got the name, hehe)
I reunited with Mariya-chan in front of the room where they were going to hold an event; it sure must be important since there's a line already forming behind us. I wonder what it is?
I take a bite out of my meat and my eyes go wide in amazement; this is soo yummy! I want to savor it and also eat it as quick as possible. I offer Mariya-chan a piece but she refused it saying "Thanks Kanako-chan but I don't like burnt meat" Oh well more for me!
Finally the doors open and we are able to go inside, it's really huge- a lot bigger then my schools gym. As I walk I notice how there are people who are wearing similar uniform that Shizu-sama wears for his practice; maybe this is an archery competition.
Honestly, I would never, and I mean NEVER in my life admit it but I always wanted to do archery; I've been hesitant to ask Shizu-sama to teach me knowing he'll just use that as another form or taunting and humiliating me. I just love how you have to use or mind and eyes to see where you want the arrow to land; I'm a little envious of Shizu-sama (Just a LITTLE dammit!)
"Let's sit here, Kanako-chan" Mariya-chan suggested we sit at the very front of the benches, which I absolutely do not mind one bit. It's a lot better to observe everyone's stance and movements that way.
The place sure is packed, is archery a big thing? The lights go off and all the chatter sustains itself into soft whispers. The light centers toward the middle of the floor where a man only wearing a white yukata greets us.
"ARE YOU ALL READY FOR ENTERTAINMENT!" I feel like we're at a concert rather than a tournament; he's way to pumped about this. The crowed response with just about the same enthusiasm as the commentator.
"This is soo exciting" Mariya-chan comments as she leans closer towards my ear to say this. I nod and lean towards her "I think the commentator is more exciting then the competitors.." I add and take another bite of my chicken.
The whole event was extraordinary every single person out there was giving his/her all at hitting the middle circle. Finally it was the people of Chiba district and Tokyo middle school.
"It's getting tense.." I say as I notice that the crowd got silent; Chiba and Tokyo have always been the rivals of sports, their top most clashes deal with archery and volleyball. "I believe Tokyo is going to win." Mariya-chan suddenly says.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask her, maybe Mariya-chan's just rooting for her home town.
"They have the best player on their side; with him their bound to win." she explains. Best player? and it's a 'he?'
I feel a lightbulb click on top of my head 'Oh Mariya-chan...you thought I wouldn't notice. It's obvious she has a crush on this guy; no wonder she's positive that they'll win. Oh young love..'
"Maybe your right" I state normally, I'm not about to disagree with her; Mariya-chan's probably seen a few archery practices and tournaments. Me? This is my first one...
"Everyone, help me welcome Saboro, Keisuke from Koiyuuki Middle!" I boy about my height walks towards the center, he has brown spiked up hair and black eyes, his uniform colors are white (of course) and forest green. "He's led his team to the national championship two years straight! His specialties are freestyle and Bull's guess (NOTE: I don't really know the exact rules and categories for archery) .
Damn this boy looks like he's a pro, whoever they have in Misamorijun Middle school better fucking be the "best" as they claim him to be.
"Alright now help me give a warm welcome to the young lad that will be facing against Saboro in this final round that will allow one of their teams to go to the national championship in England, from Misamorijun Middle School: Shidou, Shizu!"
...
...
..
.
I must be going fucking deaf or something, I didn't hear that correctly did I?
"Shizu Shidou has given his team 8 gold medals of outstanding archery performance and has earned junior medals since he was only 5 years old!
This must be a dream- on second thought a nightmare..
Although his team has never won a single national championship medal; Shidou has lead his team through every single stage-
Dammit Kanako, wake the hell up!
- and has earned them 10 red ribbons for being the best archery team with the best friendship! He is destined for greatness the boy!"
Son of a B# $%!
"Kanako-chan? Are you ok?"
"Me? I'm just fine, why do you ask?"
"Well.. your sorta eating the chicken bone..." I finally break out of my despair as I feel a weird taste in my mouth, sure enough their was a piece of bone missing..
"Gah!" I start to remove the bone pieces off my tongue and quickly grab my water bottle and drink until I can no longer taste that nastiness. Urghh why is Shizu-sama here! I wanted to get away from the damn little monster not watch him compete!
Wait a damn minute...
I glance at Mariya-chan; she knew all along Shizu-sama's tournament was gonna be here. She tricked me! I thought we were friends!
She catches my gaze before I could quickly look away, she must have known I wouldn't be too happy when she grabbed hold of my hand. "I'm sorry Kanako-chan, I know you must be angry at me from keeping this a secret. It's just, Onii-chan never has someone here cheering for him. Otou-san and Oka-san both work, and Oka-san has never allowed me to come by myself."
For some strange reason hearing that, tore me up inside; Shizu-sama hasn't had a single person sitting where I'm sitting here cheering for him. Then the reason is not stupid... it's normal.
"That's why I was so thrilled when you agreed to come and see Onii-chan with me. Arigato Kanako-chan." She smiles at me with all honest that I can't even try to stay mad.
God Dammit
I chuckle as I put my hand on her head "I guess it can't be help, he better appreciate this.." I state confidently as I simply receive a giggle as an answer. "Your really a kind person Kanako-chan..."
Although it irks to admit it, I actually enjoyed watching Shizu-sama; he's really serious on winning for his team, and every once in a while he would smirk in a form to taunt Saboro, it was quite funny to witness. He's been doing archery since he was young so you could see the love he has for the sport in his eyes, he has fun with it at the same time. I wonder if I will ever be able to look like that when I find something I enjoy doing.
This is it... the last round, it continues until the person misses the red dot.
"Go Saboro!"
"Yea you got this!"
"CHIBA!"
Everyone is now voicing their minds, a great amount yell towards Shizu-sama's team but no one yells out 'Shizu-sama', I take a look at him and see that he's not even acknowledging the crowd while on the other hand Saboro is grinning from ear to ear at how 'everyone' is rooting for him and his team.
Like hell I am!
I stand on the bench and stare straight at him, Mariya-chan is calling my name; I grab her hand and help stand her up. I have no idea why I'm doing this, I mean I hate that little devil right? But... I know that he can beat Saboro with a little push that is. "Kanako-chan, people are staring at us.." Mariya-chan tells me red-face of utter embarrassment.
"Don't worry I know what to say now.." I reply. Ok Kanako no pressure, you just have everyone staring at you and even the commentator just commented on it so now the whole place is looking at you so you better make this quick.I take a deep breath and look at him.
"IF YOU WIN, I WON'T COMPLAIN FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT! I'LL BE ALL YOURS!"
*Cricket* *Cricket*
A whistle is the only sound that fills the room and my face goes completely red at how unintentionally suggestive my words were. Mariya-chan's face was as red as mine. "K-Kanako-chan! Are you sure you wanna make such a promise.." she asks me.
It wasn't really all that bad but maybe I'll change it up for my ego. As I open my mouth to reword my statement I freeze when I see a dark purple air around Shizu-sama, the room returns to it's silence and all that can be heard is the laughter of the little devil himself. Damn me and my big ass mouth.
"Are you sure you want to make that bargain with me, Kanako-chan?" He turns and looks at me with that well-known, all so hated sinister grin of the joker himself. I gulp as I feel my body tremble with the most fear I haven't had since I first woke up to a rat staring at me when I was 6.
"I-I have plenty of time to regret my decision, so just win.." I say it nervously yet confident. His smile disappears and now he's frowning at me, but why do I feel as if his expression soften a bit just now.
-(Minutes Later)-
"Shidou has succeeded in leading his team to the national championship, the first time Misamorijun will participate since 2 years ago. What an amazing and memorable day this is!" I completely ignore the commentators voice as I take slow (mentally) steps towards my nightmare.
Mariya-chan goes and embraces her Onii-chan with a smile on her face "I knew you would be able to beat them." she tells him, He grins at her and ruffles her hair "Why of course, a goddess with proficient skills as myself as to learn not to boast" Ugh.. how I did not miss his annoying brag.
"Oi Maid" I jump a little when I feel a hand place itself lightly against my cheek. Wow, it's soft too-WHAT THE FUCK AM I THINKING!
"You've been swearing to your advantage today Maid, remember as you said. You belong to me for a week.." His eyes, his evil, tormenting, abusive eyes, I can't move nor blink all I can do is tremble in fear knowing that I may be dead by the end of next week.
"I can't wait how much fun we're going to have this week Kanako-chan!" He states with a child-like expression
Childlike my ass!
Yea...I really REALLY regret making that decision.
Ugh...damn Shizu-sama
