Chapter 10

-May we leave now!?- complains Tai.

-Just one minute!-shouts back my friend.

-Yolei, please, stop playing with my sister as if she was a Barbie doll.-He says exasperated.

-I don´t know who is worst: you or her. Why don´t you both relax a little?

-I really think this is enough.- I tell her calmly as I stand up.- Thank you.-I finish with a small smile.

-But I haven´t...

-I can survive with just some color on my lips. Besides, we are going to be alone, right? There is no need for more.

-But...!

-Let´s go!- Orders my brother.

Yolei is still pouting when I am collecting my things.

-We better go before he kill us.

She snorts, but either way, she pick up her stuff too.

-I´ll have my revenge.- She threatens us as she leave the building.

Tai and I share a look. He smirks and with his hand gestures for me to go first out the door. I do as he asks, he follows and clases softly the door. In no time, we arrive at Yolei´s home.

-Here you are girls, I´m going to Matt´s concert. Have fun and don´t do something I wouldn´t. - He starts to leave, but then he stops himself and turns around: - Don´t do something I would do either.

-So… movie night?

A cheshire cat smile is forming in her lips as she sees my brother getting out of sight.

-Movie... right.- She says while she closes the door.

Once inside, she cleans the place. I follow close behind.

-Yolei,- I stammer fearful- what are you doing?

Before she could even open her mouth, we hear the bell ringing. She runs to the door, but doesn´t open it until she is sure everything is were it is supposed. Who is waiting outside her door you may ask, well you can easily imagine after her behavior.

-Good afternoon.- greets Ken.

-Hi, come in.

Yolei takes him by his arm and pulls him in, behind them is his best friend. I rebuke her with the look I send to her direction, it was supposed to be a girls night. It is already bad that I have to miss "The Teenage Wolves" concert, now I´ll have the constant reminder of it while they are with us.

-Is there something wrong?- He asks unsure.

-No.- I answer too fast.

His face darkens. I regret being so abrupt, but do not know if I should tell the truth or anything at all for that matter.

-I´m sorry, it´s just…- I try to explain, but the girl with the glasses interrupts me.

-Well, everyone is here, let´s go!

-We are going? Where?- I inquire a little skeptical.

-To a concert.


The sounds in the high speakers are incredibly loud.

The fans scream, the musicians play, the singer does his thing, the bartenders are juggling drinks and the drunk people fight. Yes, I'm exactly where I should not. Don´t even know how they let me in, I look as if I was fifteen and this is a bar where the young people who attend are more than twenty. Tai will kill me if he ever finds out.

-In any moment now they will be on stage!- screams Yolei on top of her lungs while jumping.

Ken smiles, well he was smiling until he saw his best friend´s not so excited face.

-Aren´t you eager to see your brother performance?

-I´m not a fan of places where there is too much people.- Answers him with sincerity.

It is true, the place is crowded. Luckily and because his brother is the lead singer, the young blonde takes us to a part of the bar that is not filled with people, a little bit away from the madness.

-If that is true, then why do you attend to so many parties?- Asks innocently my friend.

He doesn´t answer, he just looks at me. I look away.

-What are you doing here!?- Complains Yolei.

When I turn around to see the person she is talking to, I see Daisuke smiling slyly.

-Well, can´t I have some fun?

I am sure- so much that I would bet on it- that she wants to respond not so nicely to that, but the hand of her would-be-boyfriend on her shoulder calms her. When I focus again in the heir of my brother´s googles, I find out that he is not alone.

-Hi, Misuki.

-Hello.

The boy with the messy hair comes back to reality after his usual (cat) fight with Yolei, and takes the hand of the girl in his. My friend raises an eyebrow, Ken smirks knowingly, and the young blonde stays behind.

-We should better go.- That is the last thing the boy mutters before pulling the other girl far from us.

Once they were out of sight, Yolei puts her hands on her hips and assures with disbelieve:

-I expected more from her.

The blue eyed boy chuckles as his friend shakes his head. I roll my eyes.

-How are you Odaiba?!

The four of us turn our attention to watch the young man with the microphone. Many incoherent shouts are heard, Matt smirks, probably because they are declarations of love. I can see a really excited Yolei jumping and while she does that Ken can´t stop himself from watching her with the same light in his eyes as… I can sense how the young blonde leans backwards and puts his hands in his pants´pockets.

The place is soon filled with the fans´shouts of adoration when the group starts the first song. My friend imprisons me and her prince with her arms. They are playing our favorite song, so I close my eyes and sing as if nothing else mattered. When I open them, I find the least expected and wanted: a pair of brown eyes glaring at me.


-What do you think you are doing here?- Tai demands making pressure on my arm with his hand.

He had pulled me outside like a storm, behind followed a flustered Yolei and a concerned Ken. Now, my brother is leaning forward judging me with his eyes.

-You are hurting me.- I try to change the subject that hasn´t even been addressed.

He take back his hand, but crosses his arms.

-So?- He insists.

-Everything is fine.- Interjects nervously my friend.- It is just a little outing; you did it too when you were our age.

Tai glares at her, Yolei shuts up inmediately, Ken puts an arm around her shoulders (protecting her I guess). My brother looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

-You never said I couldn´t come.

-I never said you could.

-She is no longer a little girl, Tai. Stop trating her like that.

The blondes could pass as twins. The main difference is that one has a mystery aura and the other of fantasy. My brother, on the other hand, is looking as if he wanted massacre them. I am scared for their safety.

-No te metas.- threatens gravelly.

As an acto of reflex, my eyes open widely. I´ve never heard him use that tone before. Ever.
