Hi peeps, erm… It's a been a while, huh? Heh, sorry I know I'm a lazy author. I haven't updated in like a month… Oh and it's a little late but happy 2014! Anyway about this chapter. This chapter is a bit more in Ryuu's perspective. Ryuu's arc isn't going to start till later in the story, cause yes Ryuu is not just some OC he is in fact a very important character. And also I will try to update A LOT more. I'm just feel so tired lately (´ﾛ｀')o. Oh gosh I just love these Japanese emoticons… Thanks for reviewing rolu love them and Aimy.
Recap
We watched Madagascar while dancing ballet and being dressed in little girl costumes and when the movie ended we realized Tadase was still outside and got him, poor guy was probably traumatized by Amu.
End of Recap
Ryuu's POV
"P-P-Punch, glass, kick, jump, crack!" Tadase's left eye twitched. "Yep, he's gone borderline" I commented.
"Tell me about it, he snuck in my room last night and did the chicken dance saying that a yellow pig told him to do it or else he's going to kill the hamburgers" Kukai agreed. "I-It's true I can't let those poor hamburgers get killed" Tadase defended. "Tadase for the fifth time hamburgers are already killed" Utau sighed. "What?! No way I'm too late!" Tadase cried fainting afterwards.
"Amu, I think you went too hard on him" Rima twitched annoyed by Tadase's idiotic acts. "Sorry, I guess I traumatized him a little" Amu apologized rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "A little?" Kairi raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry I got the same when I hit my head while skateboarding, he'll be as good as new after he wakes up" Daichi ensured. "Oh yeah I remember that, that was hilarious!" Kukai laughed.
"What happened?" Ikuto asked smirking. "Yaya wants to know too!" Yaya said enthusiastic. "Speak about it and I'll kill you" Daichi glared daggers at Kukai. "Make me!" Kukai dared. "Come at me, bro!" Daichi challenged getting out of his seat.
While those two started to wrestling Ran and Utau got in between. "Idiots!" They said in unison and smacked them on the back on their head.
'Ring Ring!' "Who's phone was that?" Nagi asked. We all checked our phones. "Mine!" I informed them reading the text message that just came in.
It's me Saaya your amazing sister, loser.
Dad wants you to come to his office immediately from wherever you are, he said it's important. He's not in the best mood today so you better hurry or I'll hunt you down and skin you alive.
Hurry up, or else…
"What is it, Ryuu ~desu?" Su asked. "Just a text from my demon sister saying my dad has something important to talk about with me!" I explained, put on my shoes and went out the door.
"What the hell's so important that you disturb my vacation, dad?" I asked myself heading to my car then Yoru and some girl came in the driveway on his Vespa. "Hey, Yoru where were you? And who's that girl? And wait, where's Miki?" I asked. "I went out with Miki, this girl is Miki and well Miki's here" Yoru sighed taking of his helmet.
"Oh, you guys went out, I see…" I said wiggling my eyebrows. "I-I-It's not like that Ryuu!" Miki tried to explain with a flushed face. "No, no it's all good no need to explain, I understand" I said getting into my white roofless Audi R8.
"Really?" Yoru asked raising a brow. "Yes, you guys were going out to some romantic place stayed at a motel and wooed" I teased and drove off. "I told you it's not like that!" I could still hear Miki shout from faraway.
I chuckled, still I couldn't help but to worry what my father wanted to talk about if he lets Saaya say it then it must be important. He knows that we despise each other so usually sends one of his messengers to do it. The last time he let Saaya go it was about Lulu…
~FLASHBACK~
The first school day of high school had just ended. "Hey Ryuu, wanna hang out?" Yoru asked leaving the school building. "No, sorry dude but I have to get home early today or my mom's gonna kill me" Ryuu said. "That sucks, anyway see you tomorrow then?" Yoru asked. "Yeah, see ya" Ryuu waved leaving. "See ya" Yoru waved lazily and left.
Ryuu walked on his way home, he didn't like having a limo pick him up like Saaya since he thought it was unfair to everyone who didn't have such a fancy ride and just walked home. When he walked near an alleyway he heard something.
"Hey girly wanna make some fun?" A male voice said. "N-No p-please leave me alone" A small scared voice said, which Ryuu recognized as a teenage girl around his age. "Come on it'll be fun just come with us" Another male voice pleaded.
Out of curiosity he checked it out. Ryuu saw a small figure being surrounded by two older men. "I-I don't want to, leave me alone!" The figure cried. "Just come with us" The first man said and touched her, and that's where Ryuu came in.
"Hey she said she doesn't want to!" Ryuu shouted. The two men turned around and the figure became visible to Ryuu.
It was a girl she had curly olive-yellow hair with an purple hairclip and light sky-blue eyes she wore a blue casual lace one piece with some white bowknot flats.
"H-Help" She weakly said. "What do you want kiddo?" The second man said as he walked towards Ryuu, and Ryuu could smell the alcohol lingering of off him. "I want you guys to leave that girl alone" Ryuu said. "Hah, and who's going to stop us?" The first man asked now also walking towards Ryuu. "I am" Ryuu stated confidently.
"Tch, just try" The second man asked a gave Ryuu a punch in the stomach, expecting Ryuu to collapse or at least fall on his knees but he just stood there still as if he never even received the punch. "…Okay, now I'm pissed" Ryuu said looking up to the men with a glare that could kill.
"My turn" Ryuu smirked in a teasing yet scary tone, causing the men to flinch. Ryuu punched the first one in the face, the first man stood his ground and try to hit him back but missed, Ryuu then gave him a sweep kick he fell to the ground. He tried to stand up, "Stay down" Ryuu warned before pointing his attention to the second man.
"Now, what am I gonna do with you?" Ryuu asked cracking his knuckles. (A/N This is very bad for your hands I recommend not doing it in real life!)
"Uh, well look at the time I have to go do something…" The man said full of fear running off. "Now, what about you?" Ryuu asked politely to the scared girl in the back of the alleyway with her back pressed against the wall. "Uh, t-thank you for helping me" She said walking towards Ryuu fearfully.
"It's okay, I'll protect you" Ryuu smiled reaching out his hand to bring her to safety. Sending him back a smile she happily accepted. "So, what's your name?" Ryuu asked her. "Yamamoto Lulu de Morcerf" Lulu answered. "Wow, that's quite a name" Ryuu commented "Yeah, I'm half Japanese and half French so I have two family names" She explained. "I see…" Ryuu trailed off.
"What's your name?" Lulu asked back. "Yamabuki Ryuu" He answered. "That sounds familiar" Lulu thought out loud. "Really you heard of it?" Ryuu curiously asked. "Yeah, I can't remember where I heard it, though" She explained.
"Whatever, it's just some business corporation anyway" Ryuu shrugged. "Business corporation?" Lulu asked surprised. "…Yeah" Ryuu said startled by her reaction. "Yamabuki Corporation?" She asked. "Yeah, that's it" Ryuu asked eyeing her suspiciously, Lulu suddenly paled.
"What's wrong are you sick?" Ryuu worriedly asked touching her forehead causing her cheeks to heat up. "N-No I'm just a bit tired that's all" She said. "Really is it that late?" Ryuu asked looking at his watch.
"I-It's 6 PM" Ryuu said looking up in shock. "Yeah?" Lulu raised an eyebrow at him. "MY MOM'S GONNA KILL ME!" Ryuu yelled running off causing Lulu to sweat drop at his weird behavior. "SORRY YAMAMOTO-SAN BUT I'M GROUNDED FOR LIFE IF I DON'T HURRY UP AND GO HOME!" Ryuu explained still running for his 14-year old life. (A/N It's the first day of high school he still has to become 15).
"Ryuu where were you?" His mom asked angrily. "Sorry kaa-chanbut I saw a girl being surrounded by two drunkards in the alleyway, so I took action. After all my beautiful and talented kaa-chan taught me to protect women" Ryuu flattered his way out of it.
"Alright I'll forgive you this time just don't do it again" His mom sighed. "Thanks kaa-chan" Ryuu flashed his mom a smile.
"What was the girl's name anyway?" His mom asked. "Uh, Yamamoto Lulu de Morcerf." Ryuu explained. "de Morcerf?" His mom's eyes widened. "Yeah, what's wrong with that?" He clueless about the problem. "Nothing dear" His mom smoothly lied.
Ryuu simply let it go and as time went by he and Lulu kept hanging out.
*Random Time-skip*
"Ryuu!" Saaya called from the couch. "What?!" Ryuu shouted from upstairs. "Dad wants to talk to you NOW!" She commanded. "Alright, alright!" Ryuu sighed already heading downstairs to leave.
Once Ryuu entered his father's building he heard murmurs around him and felt people staring at him, so he decided ask his dad's secretary Yua.
"Yo Yua, what's all the fuzz about?" Ryuu asked. "Well let's just say you should avoid a certain somebody." Yua told him. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Sorry Ryuu, my lips are sealed if you wanna know ask your father" Yua said getting back to the accountancy she was originally working on. "Tch, you're such a buzzkill Yua" Ryuu said walking towards the elevator to get to his father's office.
"To-san?" Ryuu knocked on the door. "Please enter son" His father answered and so Ryuu did. "…Y-You wanted to see me to-san?" Ryuu hesitantly asked afraid that he'd be in trouble.
"Why don't you take a seat?" His father offered though it sounded more like a demand. "Yes to-san" Ryuu said an obediently sat down. "So, have you made any knew friends lately?" His dad asked.
"Yeah, on school I met this guy Yoru and we became friends on the first day he introduced me to his older cousin Ikuto who I think Saaya has a crush on, however Ikuto introduced me to his younger sister Utau who introduced me to Ikuto's best friend Kukai who introduced me to his older brother Daichi. And from then I eventually met Miki in class who I think has a crush on Yoru, well Miki introduced me to her friends Ran, Su and Dia who introduced me to Rima and Yaya who introduced me to Nagihiko and Kairi who introduced me to Tadase-" Ryuu kept on talking. (A/N Remember Amu transferred in the second year so she wasn't there yet).
"Okay, I get it you've been making a lot of friends on school" His father interrupted him. "But have you been making friends out of school?" His father asked. "Yeah, well I met this girl Lulu" He said.
"Oh thank kamisama I thought you were going to talk about millions of friends again" His father sighed in relief. "Anyhow, this girl Yamamoto Lulu de Morcerf…" His father started. "What's with her dad?" Ryuu asked curiously.
"You can't be friends with her anymore, in fact you can never see her again" His father commanded. "What?!" Ryuu asked rising up from his seat. "She's the heir of the French company de Morcerf Association, our biggest rival from overseas if you talk to her she can find out precious information about the Yamabuki Corporation, we cannot take that risk son, you have to understand" His father explained.
"Oh I understand, I understand that that's total bullshit!" Ryuu yelled. "Lulu is the nicest girl I have ever met she would never do that!" Ryuu said.
"I see, that's why she told you about her family association? And why she never told you anything about the rivalry? And keeps hanging out with you?" His father shot questions at him.
Ryuu thought them through very well and realized he had a point she had been emailing him questions about the Yamabuki Corporation and whenever I tried asking about her family she worked her way around it.
"I see you've realized your mistake" His father said. "So can you now please understand why you can't hang out with that girl?" His father asked. "Yes to-san" Ryuu sighed and left the building.
*Random Time-skip*
Ryuu and Lulu bumped into each other a couple times but he seemed to be avoiding her and he didn't answer her texts and calls either.
Though Lulu reached her limit. They bumped into each other again and Ryuu once again avoided her but Lulu wasn't planning to let him go this time. She grabbed his arm causing his eyes to widen as he turned around to face her.
"Why are you avoiding?" She frowned. "de Morcerf Association…" He simply replied and yanked his arm loose. Lulu looked down sadly "I-I knew you would avoid me if I t-told you" She replied looking as if she was about to burst into tears.
"I couldn't care less if you were my rival, what I care about is that you used me as an information source for your own association" His eyebrows slanted downwards.
"What are you talking about?" She asked clueless about the subject. "Don't play dumb you've been asking me questions about Yamabuki Corporation through email!" He snapped.
"B-But I don't know your email" She flinched at his sudden outburst. "Huh?!" He raised an eyebrow at her. "You never gave it" She explained. "Then who's been emailing me?" He asked. "What was the email anyway?" She asked.
"It was: ICantThinkOfAName " Ryuu said. "That's not my email my email's: IReallyCantThinkOfAName " Lulu sighed.
"The company probably emailed you and pretended to be me to get information out of you" She explained. "Then why didn't you tell me about your association and kept avoiding the subject?" Ryuu shot back. "I told you, I didn't want you to avoid me" She sighed. "Why does it matter so much to you?" Ryuu asked walking closer leaving only a couple of inches between them.
"B-Because I-I-I-I-" She stuttered flustered. "You what?" Ryuu asked curiously. "I-I t-t-think I'm in l-l-love, with you!" She confessed completely flushed, because of the sudden confession Ryuu's cheeks got a little red.
He suddenly hugged her. "Yeah" He softly said into her ear. "Me too" He said and got closer to her face so their heads were touching.
"But I can't come near you, because my father probably will hurt you in some way if you get near me" He explained and put some distance between them again. "You have to understand, I want to be with you, but maybe some other day when the time is ripe" He sighed and walked off.
"I'll be waiting for that day" She softly said but it was loud enough for Ryuu to hear.
What Ryuu and Lulu didn't know was that Ryuu's dad's spies heard to whole thing and would probably cause an uproar about it.
*End of Flashback* (A/N Damn that was a long flash back o.o)
I reached my father's building and immediately went to his office. "To-san?" I knocked on the door. "Come in Ryuu" My dad responded and so I immediately opened the door.
"Do you want anything, to-san?" I asked bored. "I was just wondering how your girlfriend was doing?" He asked. " What girlfriend?" I raised an eyebrow, what the heck is he talking about I don't have a girlfriend… Wait, is he mocking the fact I don't have a girlfriend?!
"Lulu, of course" He said. "Dad I haven't seen Lulu in 2 almost 3 years" I frowned.
"You have to understand, I want to be with you, but maybe some other day when the time is ripe" Dad sighed, my eyes widened. He knew about it, the confession.
"Those were your words if I'm right…" Dad said. "You spied on us?" I asked completely shocked. "It's the only way to know if the future of my corporation is safe" He explained.
"So what?! Saaya's gonna inherit this stupid business anyway I don't want it anyway, for all I care it can burn to the ground!" I snapped, my father's eyes widened at my sudden outburst, and so did mine after I realized what I just said. I didn't regret it though it was the truth.
"I'm afraid that's not gonna happen." My father said. "Huh?" I raised an eyebrow. "Saaya's average is too low to inherit the business" My father explained. "As expected from Saaya…" I sweat dropped.
"So you're going to be the one to inherit Yamabuki Corporation" He finished. "No, no, no" I refused. "That is so not going to happen!" I yelled.
"If you want your little girlfriend to be safe then it is" My dad threatened, my eyes widened. "Y-You, what have you done to her!" I shouted. My dad turned around his computer and on the screen I saw Lulu in a little cell chained to a wooden unconscious and with blood stains on her clothes.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" I asked/yelled almost throwing the computer off my dad's desk. (A/N I don't what it's called when you ask and yell at the same time…)
"Don't worry son, she's safe" My father explained and I sighed in relief. "But..." He continued. A but, not good. "If you do something for me…" He said. Yup, definitely not good.
Yoru's POV
I walked in the house with Miki close behind and noticed everyone was gathered in the living room with their swimsuits on, probably going to the beach.
They were just doing their usual things. Nagi was doing Rima's hair, Kukai and Utau were competing about something, Ran and Daichi were doing a sort of cheer, Yaya sitting there eating candy asking Kairi about the book he's reading, Su and Dia were trying to wake up Tadase who apparently fainted for some reason, and Ikuto was teasing Amu.
And then Ikuto, of course, was the one who noticed we entered. "Hey, Yoru where were you guys?" Ikuto asked. "We just went on a little fieldtrip" I shrugged. "A little fieldtrip, huh?" Amu asked doubting.
"I-It's not what you think" Miki blushed. "We weren't thinking anything" Rima said. "But apparently they were" Nagi replied.
"So… Where were you?" Dia asked. "Something must've happened you were gone to whole night ~desu" Su said.
"Hey you don't think they-" Ran said completely flushed before she could finish her sentence. "Do you think they did 'that' Ran?" Daichi asked.
"They're completely red they must've!" Yaya shouted pointing at our red faces. "W-WE DIDN'T!" Miki and I yelled and unison completely flushed. "Sure you didn't" Ikuto rolled his eyes.
"Utau and I are dating!" Kukai suddenly shouted. Then we all turned our attention to Kukai and Utau. "EH?!" Everyone shouted and got near them.
"K-Kukai?! I told you we were going to wait for the right timing!" Utau yelled with a faint blush on her face. "So it's true!" Ran shouted.
"It seemed the right timing to me, everyone was already busy with their own stuff" Kukai shrugged. "Utau why didn't you tell? I thought we were best friends" Amu pouted. "I just didn't know who to…" She sighed.
"When?!" Yaya asked invading Utau's personal space. "Well..." Utau started pushing Yaya's face out of her personal bubble. "It was that evening we went out eating ramen" She explained.
"D-Did you guys kiss ~desu?" Su asked blushing. Kukai and Utau, were completely faces were completely flushed. "Erm, well…" Kukai started.
"Hamburger-san I'll save you from the evil yellow pig!" Tadase suddenly shouted in his sleep, and we all burst into laughter.
Yeah, I have the most crazy friends but I cherish them with all my heart.
And the end! Eh, not of this story I mean the chapter, this would be a TERRIBLE way to end a story. Well I left it a bit cliffhanger-ish with Ryuu but if I told you guys more you can pretty much figure out what I'm going to do with this story, and I don't want that, I like using the element of surprise! Anyway, I haven't added any sweet Amuto moments lately so I'll do that in the next chapter. Review Please (And once again sorry for the late update.
