Chapter 6

Unbelievably Right

"Oh, really you see me eh?" I looked at him, evil enough to punch him with the use of my eyes but it is not enough. He stared at me as if waiting for another word to be said.

"So why did you ca--" Someone grabbed me from the back and covered my mouth with a handkerchief. I tried to punch him but the bald fat guy grabbed my hands.

"Help me!" I tried to shout but it's no use, they are dragging me farther and farther from where I stood. I can't move, I feel like I'm paralyzed and I doze off.

Shin thinking

"Yankumi.." I stood up. "Stop them from following me" I said to kuma, noda and uchi. I ran following where was yankumi brought to. I catch up to them as quickly as I could. The crowd went wild as I took off.

"OFF LIMITS" Kuma said as he stretched his arm around those people. Uchi and Noda didn't plan it to be physical but strike a conversation to the girls.

"Rino, guard the entrance of the school immediately, yankumi is kidnapped". I dropped the phone and when I was about to follow them up to the dead end of the pathway they were gone.

Tetsu thinking

"Oh yeah Tetsu we finally caught Ms. Kumiko, we have succeed!" Minoru said but Tetsu knocked him in the head while he is driving.

"Hey why did you do that for?" Minoru exclaimed.

"Don't be too noisy, she might wake up. Although she is tied up at the back seat, we don't know if she has learned skills on her own. Besides Ms. Kazuki still doesn't know she exist." Tetsu said.

"You don't have to worry they are not related you know, hey what's that for?' Minoru exclaimed as tetsu knocked him again in the head.

"No one must know this secret, they are related Minoru, related.." Tetsu said firmly and turned the car to another street. They parked and carried her gently and quietly to inside an old Japanese design house. They went inside a room in which pillows are in the floor that serves as seats.

"Okay it's good Ms. Kazuki is not here, you close the gate and I'll get some soup for her to wake up" Tetsu ordered Minoru

Yankumi thinking

I heard voices, oh! People who kidnapped me, I must be unconscious for me to escape.

"Ok tetsu, I will come back quickly" A man said and rushed off as I hear his foot steps. The other man also went far from me. It's my time to escape. Hey I'm tied up, what will I do now. You can do this Yankumi, hey foot steps again coming from the other room, time to be unconscious!

"You know grandpa it is so good you came back; I have already cooked a special soup for you. School is very sad today I didn't saw.. hey grandpa why are you saying anything? Eh? Who is she" A girl I think of 18 or 19 is talking and stopped. I felt someone putting a hand in my forehead and neck checking if I'm sick or something. He poked my throat and my eyes opened.

"I knew you are not sleeping. Why are you here my dear" A friendly grandpa stared at me with a combination of smiling and awe.

"I don't know sir, someone kidnapped me and I woke up here in this room, ow!" I exclaimed as he removed the rope that tied me. It was too tight.

"Get medicine Kazuki quick! Also some leaves hurry!" The grandpa said to the girl.

"Why are you late, Kumiko?" The grandpa said as he massaged my wrist.

"Eh? You know me? Late?" I asked him thinking why he knew me.

"Tetsu! Minoru! Come out!" The grandpa shouted madly and two men showed hiding behind the curtain. How did grandpa saw them, I didn't even notice they were there. They quickly bowed down to the floor repeatedly to the grandpa.

"We are sorry master ken, we tried to get her from…" Minoru said.

"No more explanations, report to me later" The grandpa said.

"Yes master" Both of them replied and went outside.

"Who.. Who are you? Why am I here? Where am I?" I don't know when to stop answering questions. Master ken..i think I heard that before just can't remember when.

"Grandpa, here are the leaves" The girl named kazuki hurriedly gave the medicine to the grandpa. She kinda looked worried for me too.

"Its just a scratch.. you know, I can sure.. hey!" Grandpa just poured something in my wrist and it stinged a lot. But then again the pain just went away immediately. My wrist was fully healed, that's awesome.

"How did you do that? That's awesome, wait.. you are one of the bad guys are you? The leader of the group who kidnapped me. I have no money and only a poor scholar in eitoku.. really, promise!" I said loudly to the grandpa as I moved away. I was about to do my fighting moves until grandpa reached for me and laughed at me.

"Just like your mother kumiko. Full of spirit and energy. No one can defeat those glaring eyes both of you have." This grandpa is all knowing until..

"Kumiko sister, I'm glad you're here now in Japan! Grandpa Ken and I waited for so long for you to live here with us!" Kazuki embraced me so tightly that I can't breathe. My sister? I'm so confused, I think I'm gonna fade my head hurts a lot. Please don't faint kumiko..

"Kumiko sister wake up sister!!" I closed my eyes as I heard Kazuki calling me sister repeatedly.

I opened my eyes in an old japans styled room with not so old style appliances and there he was the grandpa right beside me sitting on a chair.

"Kumiko, I think Namada and Lirio havent told you yet" The grandpa said firmly.

"I can't understand you grandpa.. how did you knew my parents?" It was a moment until grandpa spoke he looked straight into me as I was sitting in the bed.

"You were just 7 then when your mother, Naomi left Japan to live the life to be free. Far from the dojo, we have argued and talked many times about her departure but she is strong willed to leave. She left with you and your father jiro with your little sister. Jiro have a close cousin who joined him for the trip going to the Philippines with his wife Lirio.." Grandpa paused. Maybe he saw I was about to cry, am I dreaming? Is this all real?

"Don't stop it if you wan to kumiko" Grandpa said to me.

"Please grandpa tell me everything before I lose my strength again" I said to grandpa. I felt the blood relation within grandpa and me, it is so warm that I have him on my side, but how about the girl who called me sister.. is she?

"Namada and Lirio new the aspirations of your parents to live a normal life, I have met them numerous times when Naomi invite them and they were like a family to me too. Until that day of your departure your family and you passed by Namada's house, the Akaido group spotted Naomi and Jiro sitting on the car. They shoot guns all over until ensuring all life forms is gone. But it was the goodness of the great one they have missed you and your sister. As blessed as you were, you hadn't incurred any fatal injury at all. You were lying below the backseat and your sister Kazuki was shielded by your mother.

"But how can it be, tell me you are joking, I can't be like you, no offense but I do not have skills like you, are you sure I'm the one you're looking for grandpa? I think I should leave now," I walked away to find where the nearest exit would be when I sensed something is approaching near me. I looked behind and ..

"Ouch!!" I rubbed my forehead as the eraser bounced to my head to the floor.

"What did you do that for grandpa, that really hurts, I know that I'm refusing the info you are giving me but why are you hurting me.. My forehead really hurts.." I said to him as I sat to the pillow seat on the floor.

"You knew it.." He said firmly and poked a needle at my head, I think its like acupuncture thing.

"What I knew it? I already told you, I'm not you granddaughter grandpa, I can't be.." He poked another one again and then when I was about to say something, I could not speak.

"You knew it that something is approaching to you. I used the hakkenden technique the fastest technique to throw objects to another medium yet you notice. It will took a normal person to master defending herself from the hakkenden for 20 years but you knew it, You're genuine Kumiko, you are my grand daughter" Grandpa teary eyed and hugged me, I also cried too, this person is my grandfather yet I deny him. Although I don't know what he is talking about, I'm home.

"But wait, I didn't tell shin I'm here. That brat, he'll never look for me, who am I to him anyways." I murmured as I stared to ceiling while grandpa nurse me.

"What are you saying Kumiko?" Grandpa Ken asked me.

"No nothing" I waved at him signaling its nothing. I was about to grab the cellphone from my pocket until Kazuki rushed toward me.

"Kumiko sister. You are really alive! I have so many things to share to you, so many things about some latest trends, fashion details and especially school!" Kazuki said excitedly.

"Oh yeah" I smiled and looked at her. She is so different from me very trendy and I may say good figured. I am so indifferent having a sister this is something new to me.

"Kazuki, let your sister have a good bath first and bring her some clean clothes." Grandpa Ken smiled at me.

"Okay grandpa, kumiko sister let's go." Kazuki led the way and I smiled to grandpa as we go to her room. Woh! What a girly room. It is pink all over with feathers and trinkets hanging.

"Sit first sister I'll get some clothes." Kazuki set as she went to her closet.

"Uhmm Kazuki this place is a dojo right?" I asked her

"Yeah, I know what you are thinking Kumiko, my room doesn't qualify to be one.. haha its okay.. I really didn't get into our family's yakuza stuff, I can't even do one technique. Grandpa tried to teach me but I just can't understand. Do you like this one?" Kazuki asked me showing a gray jogging pants and white t shirt with a big print of a cartoon character doraemon. Good thing she didn't lend me the sassy ones.

"You can bathe there" She pointed to the bath room in her room. When I opened the lights… Woh! I dropped the clothes she lend me.

"OH great sister you saw my beloved husband! May I introduce you the greatest guy in the world.."

"Sawada Shin" We both said these words. Well her tone is quite excited, mine,, really surprised. Posters in the wall and all her things are all Sawada! Sawada bath tub, sawada brush, sawada mirror, sawada towel?!?

"Oh! You eyed for this one," She grabbed the towel and hugged it. "Aren't we perfect?"

"Oh yeah, do you have plain towels?" I asked her, don't want that Sawada towel rubbed in my face. Shin is really famous; shin is like hello kitty you can see him in all items! As she get a new towel, I grabbed my cellphone and saw that it was off. I tried to open it and it was battery empty!

"Hey Kumiko sister I got your towel. Hey what a cool phone, that's the latest right? That is too expensive where did you get that?" Kazuki asked as she monitored the edges of the cellphone. Why did that idiot bought me this expensive cellphone.. How can I tell her that this is just given to me by Sawada!

"Uhmm. You know, your sister is very lucky when she arrived here in Japan. I won it in the street lottery! Yeah.. you know the one in the streets." I convinced kazuki.

"Street Lottery? There are no street lotteries here in Japan that have prizes this expensive. Oh! Maybe you are saying this was bought from the school lottery for incoming freshmen! They said that if they picked your ID number from thousands of numbers they will give you the latest phone. Well it is only in my school, all my classmates are all rich and very famous you know. I'm very grateful that grandpa enrolled me there. By the way sis, are you still going to school?" Kazuki asked me.

"Kinda.. sort of.." I said shyly.

"But how come, If I'm 18 and you are 2 years older how come you're still studying and what's your school here, so I can visit you when going home." Kazuki said.

"Well, I have to pass high school first before I can attend college here. The career services at St. John's University, my school before, said that if I can pass the qualifying exam for high school this year then I would be greatly accepted by colleges here in Japan. Well, I have to wait for a year to take the qualifying exam since it is taken yearly. But I wonder in my new school, people are as old as me and some are even older. I wonder if they fail their qualifying exams or just enjoyed high school here in Japan, or better yet…" Yankumi thought of people who admired the oh-so-great superstar shin. "Well, just don't mind what I've said, I want to pass this qualifying exam for me to reach college, Yankumi clenched her fist and placed it near her heart I will strive to be the best, study hard, put my utmost determination in everything I will do. I'm now studying in eitoku, people there are so.."

"Eitoku!! You are not kidding?!? I also study there! Did you knew that Sawada Shin is studying there? I am very sad when I didn't saw him today you know, he is so.." Kazuki started it again saying so many things about sawada. How come she fell for that idiot. He is so arrogant. I smiled at her as if I'm agreeing to every word she say.. until I remembered

"kazuki!" I almost shouted and she startled and threw the pillow she is holding.

"Do you have a cellphone charger. For this one? I need it immediately. Please charge this one." I asked her.

"Alright sister, just take a bath first and I will be responsible for your great possession. This is so cool you know." Kazuki said as she watched the edges of the cellphone. I thought maybe she will not open it since it is not hers. Well, I might take a bath. How can I bathe here with all these pictures staring at me.

Shin thinking

"Rino have you tracked the cellphone?" I called Rino and still wandering where yankumi might be. Why am I thinking about the sake of this girl all the time?

"Negative young master Sawada. Ms. Kumiko's cellphone is turned off, we are now tracking the location signal we have attached in her cellphone. The signal is still fuzzy sir. The only solution is to call her every now and then until her phone is turned on." Rino said affirmly.

"Call you later" I dropped the line. Yankumi where are you.. I phoned her and it rang.
