The movie left a big opening to attempt to segway it into sequel film, but left Shino in an unamused mood. It wasn't a bad movie but it did feel a little unfulfilling. Kazuto was talking with the others about how cool it was. He seemed to have really enjoyed it. Kazuto was like that though, excited about most things, even if they weren't as cool as he made them out to be. He mentioned a song from the ending.
"Oh Hey! We should go to a karaoke bar!" Asuna Chirped excitedly. "Yea that'd be fun! We could get dinner while we're out!" Silica chimed in. Rika nodded enthusiastically. "Shino do you want to?" Kazuto asked her.
She took a moment to think, "um… i'm not really that good at singing," it was mostly true, she didn't feel like she had any talent for music. She loved to listen to it but she didn't like singing in front of others as she felt she wasn't good enough.
"Yea well who is?" Rika said, "HEY! We should invite Dan! He's amazing!"
The crew walked down the hall practically forcing Shino to accept the offer. As they emerged into the lobby the counter was occupied by another employee, and there was a line stretching to the door where Dan was talking to a laughing blonde woman. Shino's gut twisted suddenly feeling jealous as he talked to her, "How's Denise?" he asked.
"Oh you know… a teenager." she said and he chuckled, "she is on her way in why don't you go say hi." just then a small brunette version of the blonde came in. Shino assumed that was Denise. Her face lit up when she saw Dan, "UNCLE DAN!" she ran and jumped up into his arms in a big hug. "Hey Denise, how's that new school of your's?"
"It's amazing, there's this other girl who has a brother who was in that game you talked about!" he laughed at her enthusiasm.
Kazuto walked up to Dan and smiled when Denise recognized him, "hey we were wondering if you'd like to go karaoke?"
"Oh yea sure give me a sec," he said as the group walked out.
"Who was that?" Shino asked when they got to the car Asuna drove to the theater.
"The older one was Dan's sister Karla. The little one was her daughter Denise." Kazuto explained.
"Wait his sister!? She looks nothing like him!" Shino exclaimed. Dan was tall and muscular while the woman had been shorter. There was also the hair color, she was blonde and his was a dark, dark brown.
"All three of his sibling's have different biological fathers but all called his one dad." Asuna said, "he has the darkest natural hair of them all. Although Karla usually dyes her hair black so..."
Shino thought back to her face and realised they looked almost exactly alike except the hair color and femininity she had. She started to wonder about his other siblings and what they where like. Then she realised something, "hey wait you said 'called' in the past tense, did something happen to his dad?"
They all exchanged wary glances. They looked indecisive as if it was something she shouldn't talk to him about. Shino looked down embarrassed. Maybe that's what happened when Rika asked his condition.
Dan walked out of the building toward the group, shivering into his coat.
Kazuto waved him over in the beginning darkness. Shino looked to her phone and saw it was 6:30. Luckily it was saturday otherwise she'd only allow herself another half hour until she went home. As Dan walked toward the car he smiled, "Did you enjoy the movie?" Kazuto nodded and explained everything with just as much enthusiasm as before.
"Heheh, well glad you liked it but are you sure this car is big enough?"
Shino looked at it, it did look a little small for the group. Asuna seemed to be thinking the same thing as she sighed.
Dan laughed at her expression, "Not to worry, i have a minivan with plenty of room." he motioned them to follow as he walked three cars down the rows. Everyone climbed in with Dan being the driver. Rika took the passenger seat up front and left the others for the back. Silica sat in the very back.
As Dan turned the car on the radio blasted, at full volume, a song Shino recognised."JESUS!" he exclaimed as he turned the knob to the left muting the song. "Sorry 'bout that."
"Wait wasn't that Riot by Three Days Grace?" Shino asked excitedly. Dan looked back smiling, "you an old school rock fan?" he asked and she nodded. "Well then do you know this song?" he asked as he pulled out his phone and played the famous bass intro she knew too well, "Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes." he smiled and changed the song again, "You're gonna go far kid, The Offspring." and again he changed it, "Um… OH! A Place For My Head, Linkin Park, though i don't think that qualifies as rock." she said smiling.
"Well i'll hand it to you, you've got good taste," he said letting it play. Kazuto laughed and stated that was probably the fastest he ever saw Dan make a friend. Everyone Laughed at him as he just pushed Kazuto's face away with a, "Eh shut up." Shino looked at in the rearview mirror.. He had suddenly seemed distant. She grew worried later on in the drive as his smile shifted to a frown.
The bar was packed with various types of people, ranging from bikers to common everyday adults. Kazuto led the group to a booth in the corner of the room up next to the stage. Dan walked off to the bar. Shino and the group watched in shock as a woman about her height and age stormed out of the kitchen over toward Dan. SMACK!
"OW! What was that for?!" Dan asked putting his hand to his face.
"YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT, YOU BACKED OUT ON OUR DATE!" Shino looked down, depressed. She didn't know why but she felt a connection to Dan and was sad when she found out he was already with someone.
Why does this happen to me, first Kazuto know him?
