Chapter 4- Chawanmushi

"Mitsukuni?" I gasped, as he walked around his car and locked it.

"He barley drives it to school." Violet commented.

Mitsukuni walked up to me. I was dumbfounded.

"Like it?" Mitsukuni whispered in my ear.

I nodded.

He chuckled.

"I used to have one." I whispered.

"What year?" He asked.

We began walking to the school he took hold of my hand.

"2009, But I got it in 2008. It was one of the first models. Canary yellow too." I murmured. "Now my bitch of a cousin has it." I muttered.

"That's too bad." He said.

"So, do I get to know wear we're going tonight?" I asked.

"Nope." He popped the P.

I pushed out my bottom lip and pouted.

"Sorry it's a secret." He whispered in my ear.

"I guess I can live until the end of school."

"You'll have too."

I stuck my tongue out at him.

Finally the end of the day, it's finally here!

"Tell me! Tell Me! Tell me!" I begged.

"I'm not going to tell you. You'll see when we get there." Mitsukuni said and opened the passenger side door for me.

After he got in the car he started it and revved the engine. No dought it was to impress me.

I smiled.

He took off, weaving threw the cars in the parking lot, getting few middle fingers and a lot of horns honking.

"If you kill me my brother will kill you." I giggled.

I loved speed. I loved going fast, yes you could consider me an adrenalin junkie.

He laughed.

"What makes you thing I would let that happen to you?"

I shrugged.

He weaved threw cars on the high way and parked in a parking lot.

"This is wear your taking me?"

I looked around as I got out of the car. We were in a parking lot with nothing around it. Down the street there were all the shops and restraunts.

"No. We're walking the rest of the way." He said grabbing my hand.

I walked with him down the street towards town. Soon I could see the beautiful colors of the town. Restaurants, shops, bars, venders, and of course a lot of people.

He walked me to a little restraunt.

"My family owns this place." He said holding the door for me. "We bought it about a year ago."

As I walked in a sniffed the air.

"Yum."

"Mitsukuni!" A deep male voice called.

"Hey, Akio!"

We walked over to a counter where a heavy-set, bald man was.

"Ah who's this?" Akio asked.

"This is Royal Gage. Royal this is Akio, he a family friend." He said turning towards me.

"Hi." I said waving.

"Hello, Royal." he said.

I caught him wink at Mitsukuni as he walked around the counter.

We followed him. He lead us to a booth next to the window. We sat down on opposite sides and Akio set two menus down.

"What can I get you to drink?" Akio asked politely.

"Um… orange soda." I smiled.

"Make that two." Mitsukuni said.

Akio left and I opened my menu.

There was so many things I haven't tried, some I didn't ever recognize the name of.

"There's so much. What do you recommend?" I asked Mitsukuni.

As he was about to answer Akio came back and set our drinks down.

"What would you two like to eat?" He asked.

Mitsukuni winked at me.

"Two orders of Chawanmushi."

Yup, defiantly never heard of that, well, considering I lived in Ireland most of my life.

After Akio walked away I asked, "Whats that?"

"You'll see. It's good."

"More secrets?"

He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes as I sipped my drink.

"So, your brother's going to kill me if I kill you?" He smirked.

I smiled.

"He may kill you either way." I told him.

"Why is that?" He leaded closer to me.

"Well, lets just say he doesn't know I'm with you. And Im basically all he's got left."

He nodded.

Soon our food was placed in front of us. I cocked my head to the side and looked at it. It looked good.

After eating we left and began walking around town. And soon we went back to his car and he began to drive to my house. He pulled in to my driveway and I noticed my brothers black BMW was gone.

"That's strange Brendens not home yet. He said he be home late but he's always home before now." It was 10:45.

I'd never liked staying home alone in the dark.

"I wonder where he is?" I mouthed.

I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the car door. Hunny came around to me and took my hand. After walking up to the door I took the key out from under the door- mat and shoved it in the door knob.

I opened the door and switched on the light.

"Maybe he left a note or a message on the phone." Mitsukuni offered.

"Yeah, maybe." I smiled smugly.

I ran over to the phone and pressed the message button.

"1 missed call. Call received at 7:39 P.m. " The answering machine informed me.

"Hey Royal! It's Brenden, just wanted to see if you home yet. Obously you aren't so, um bye, Call me when you get home and remember I wont be home till late. Love you." It was Brenden.

"Hmm. I guess I should call him." I looked towards Hunny. "Um you can go home." I offered.

"Do you want me to stay until your brothers back?" He wondered.

My head popped up.

"Really? You'd do that?"

"Sure."

"Thanks."

I picked up the phone and dialed my brothers cell phone. It rang for what seemed like ten minutes but in reality it was only about thirty seconds.

"Hey, it's Brenden leave a message and I might get back to you." His voicemail grumbled.

"Hey Bren, I'm home. Where you at? You're always home before now. Hmm… kay. Love you." I pushed the end button and put the phone back on the receiver.

I fell back wards over the side of the couch next to Hunny – where he had sat down- and sighed.

I soon realized it was very uncomfortable and heaved myself back up. I Grabbed the TV remote and flopped down next to Hunny. Unthinkingly I rested my head on his shoulder.

I flipped threw the channels and finally settled on some random animie.

"Im bored." I muttered.

"So do something. Be not bored." Hunny suggested.

I got up and walked to the Wii my brother got us for Christmas two years ago.

"Wait no I wanna change first. I'll be back." I said.

I skipped to my room and down the stairs and than to the closet. After throwing on a red tank top and matching cut up sweatpants that were now shorts, I ran back to the living room and put Wii sports in the Wii.

I threw a remote at Hunny.

"Here play if you want."

My eyes slowly fluttered open.

I screamed causing myself to fall of the couch.

"Okay Ow."

I was on the couch snuggled in to Hunny's chest. I must have fallen asleep there last night. I sat up and looked at him.

"H-h-h- Hunny?"

He rolled over.

"Oh shit."

Of course he fell on top of my. I cringed and looked away, waiting for the impact of his body. It never came. I opened one eye. His hands were holding him up above me. He had a sly smirk on his face.

"Didn't expect to see me. Did you?"

I shook me head.

"Your brother still isn't here."

"What?" I squirmed out from under him and to the phone.

Voicemail again.

"Brenden? Where are you!? Call me back!"

Where is he? Why won't he call me back?

"I'll give him Twenty-four hours. Than I call the police." I murmured. I looked to Hunny. "Do you want breakfast?"

He nodded and smiled.

I got up and made eggs for him, as for me I went to the freezer. I took out the Vodka bottle from the other night.

Hunny looked at me wide eyes. I took the cap off and drank more than I planed on. After putting the cap back on I set in on the table and joined Hunny.

"So you drink?" He murmured.

I nodded and my head hung.

"It's not something Im proud of."

Hours went buy and Hunny didn't leave me. It was about one and we had eaten lunch. I hadn't really drank anymore vodka. I was on the floor now not watching the Television that was on and I with my knees to my chest and my arms hugging them there as tightly as possible. The bottle sat in between my feet.

It was ten at night now and I hadn't moved an inch from my spot on the floor.

"I can't take this anymore." I screamed jumping up and running to the phone. I called the police station.

"Hello, this is Royal Gage and I think my brother is missing." I said.

"His name."

"Brenden Jay Gage." I said.

"Oh, Miss, Gage. We've been trying to contact you. Something terrible has happened."
