Well this chapter will be more Mugi and Ritsu...sooo yeah that's about it (a bit more of Mio's life is exposed)
Now Let's get right to it, guys!
"Mugi!"
"what?"
Ritsu and Mugi were now at Ritsu's luxury apartment. Ritsu questioned Mugi on why she dragged her into the car.
"You know what I mean", Ritsu crossed her arms over her flat chest.
Mugi simply shurgged, "Well...", 'My turn', "I just wouldn't want you getting too close to a commoner you barely know, that's all"
Ritsu's mouth dropped open, "You got to be kidding me"
Mugi nodded, "No joke, Remember what our parents said to us?", Mugi made hand gestures and shuck her head.
'Since when does Mugi follow the rules when it comes to avoiding the common?!'
"Nii-chan! Oneechan!"
Ritsu and Mugi turned and were greeted by an average height, brown haired boy with dark brow eyes. What was he doing here? Ritsu wondered
"Hello Satoshi-kun"
"Hey...Bro?"
Satoshi formed a slight frown, "Uh Nii-chan, Mom and Dad wanted to talk with you...so"
Ritsu already knew why.
"The school principal called huh, I thought he was bluffing", Mugi said.
Satoshi nodded, "Dad's real mad"
Ritsu shrugged, "whatever"
Satoshi called Ritsu Nii-chan beacuse Ritsu sort of reminded him of a big Brother figure than a sister figure, even though Ritsu was a girl.
As for Mugi, he called her Oneechan. Satoshi saw Mugi as an older Sister.
Ritsu was always an unruly and rebellious teen, The Tainaka's always had to sit Ritsu down for a talk.
"Ritsu", A male voice boomed
Ritsu gave her father a plain look. "What, old man?"
Ritsu wasn't always a rebellious teen.
When Ritsu's mother was around, Ritsu was different. Ritsu's mother always encouraged her to make friends with the common.
Ritsu's mother was nice person, she always saw the beauty in the ugly.
She always saw the good in people...
"Ritsu, don't be that way", a women's voice said
"You ungrateful brat! How dare you fight for a common!", Ritsu's father spoke furiously
"Takeshi!"
Mugi and Satoshi listened in on the scolding.
"What!? Seiko, It's true!. I won't be tolerating this shit!"
Ritsu rolled her eyes, "Can i go now? You're wasting my time"
"Why you-!- You know what, i don't want to see you around a commoner you got that!?"
Seiko felt her husband was being unreasonable to his daughter. "Takeshi calm down"
"Fine! Can i go now!", Ritsu stood up and flicked her father off and also mouthed out the word 'Fuck You'
"You Brat!"
Ritsu's father always hated the people below him, he'd treat them like dirt and in his eyes, they were just that.
Takeshi only gave a commoner a shot when His first wife Satomi, convinced him to let Aoi and Ritsu be friends.
Big mistake...
His anger only grew.
And after what happened with his first wife, he'd only hold Ritsu closer and shut the rest out And even though his relationship with his daughter Ritsu has now fallen apart. He'd grasp at anything to keep her by.
"(sigh) Asshole", Ritsu mumbled while she waited for her father and step mother to leave her apartment.
Satoshi rubbed the back of his neck, "Well Bye, Nii-chan". Satoshi waved to Mugi and gave Ritsu a hug.
"Yeah Yeah, bye Squirt"
"NII-CHAN!"
"Hehehe, alright get outta here"
Satoshi left mumbling. Ritsu's father gave Ritsu a look and just walked out the door, Mugi felt sad at observing all of this.
"Ritsu honey?", Seiko touched the teen's shoulder.
"What?", Ritsu held a bit of attitude
"(sigh) I'll talk to him ok. ", Seiko leaned forward and gave her step daughter a kiss on the cheek, "Also...please try and open up to me". With that, Seiko left and the Tainaka's drove off.
At first Ritsu really disliked the fact that her father was with another women.
She began to disobey everything her father told her to do, she even disrespected her step mother a few times.
Ritsu also had a few argument with Satoshi. But as time went by, Ritsu opened up to Satoshi and began to treat him like a younger sibling.
Though she opened up to Satoshi, she just couldn't seem to open up to Seiko, Ritsu just rejected Seiko in all ways possible...
Which then led to Takeshi buying his daughter a luxury apartment.
"Seiko's right Ritsu-"
"Don't tell me what's right, Mugi"
Mugi knew her friend was in a state of anger and sadness.
"Ritsu-"
"I...I wanna be left alone, Mugi. I'll drop you off"
The blond sighed, she wondered why her tawny haired friend found it so hard to talk to her own father but then again, it wasn't something she should get involved in.
"Fine"
Ritsu took a thin red and black leather jacket and put it on and as for the hairband that stays in her hair to keep her bangs in place, Ritsu simply took it off, Mugi put her scarf on and bottoned up her blazer and together they left the apartment and took an elevator down to the condo's garage. Elevator music played as the two teens waited for the elevator to drop them off at the garage.
"I knew she wouldn't open up to you today..."
"Hmm?"
"Akiyama...It's the first day after all and you asking to walk her home made her shy away and more nervous then she would have wanted to be"
Ritsu was casually leaning against the elevator's wall, "...She didn't..."
"She didn't talk at all". Mugi finished the sentence.
"Yeah and when they were picking on her, she didn't tell them to stop either."
"Maybe she's scared"
"(Ding)", The elevator stopped and opened it's doors. Ritsu and Mugi walked out and searched for the Tainaka's car (Yes, Ritsu has a car)
Ritsu dug in her pocket and pulled out her car keys and put her hand with the key in the air and pressed the car control's button.
"(BEEP!) (BEEP)", The car unlocked.
Mugi always did blush when Ritsu dropped her off. Ritsu always did have the best of everything, even though her and her father were never on good terms, he'd still give her gifts and things that would make any commoner want to marry her. Now it's not to say Mugi didn't get much because in fact, Mugi did get alot, but her father would always hold off when it came to motorized vehicles.
Ritsu opened the car door for Mugi and the Blond slipped into the car with a slight blush. Ritsu went around her car and opened the door and slipped in.
Now this car wasn't just any car, It was this year's 2015 corvette z06 model. Ritsu had 4 other cars and a motorcycle she could drive around in but she preferred this car. the corvette was a shiny Yellow golden color with some black to it and the interior of the car was black. Her other cars were all cars with hefty price tags, she had a grey 2015 Lamborghini huracan, a 2015 Porsche 918 spyder, a BMW i8 and a classic 1967-1969 Black white camaro but that wasn't just it, her father had actually asked her if she wanted a Ferrari, so maybe another car might join her collection.
'What a turn on', Mugi thought. Mugi never looked at Ritsu with romantic eyes but sometimes...just maybe. 'I mean not every one owns a nice car collection'
"Um are you by any chance hungry?", Ritsu questioned, Mugi's thoughts broke.
Mugi thought a bit, "Well we didn't eat lunch today"
'That's true', "Well wanna grab a bite to eat at that new burger place across the cafe near the school?"
"Hmmm...Sure"
"(Thud)"
'Itai!'
"Pathetic, useless girl...(psh) My brother did a horrible job at having you for his daughter"
The man pushed his niece to the floor and he continued to belittle her with his words.
'Please ouji, stop', A raven haired girl put her arms in front of her to shield herself.
"(Psh) You're only good looks but filled with such uselessness...You're so worthless", the man continued, "I should have been left with the money, not some Muted slut!"
Though the girl was mute, she wasn't deaf.
"GET UP!"
The man forced the teen up by her arms, he gripped her shoulder's painfully. The girl Winced in pain.
"(Tsk)", The Teens uncle leaned in, "It's not like anyone would notice you gone...Hahaha No body cares about your existence and no body ever will"
Tears came out of the teen girl's eyes. The man shoved the girl back to the floor, The teen girl knew he was drunk His breath smelled of alcohol.
"Bitch"
Every time he got drunk, he'd always come knocking at her door, always going on about the same things. Sadly but truthfully, that man became her guardian after her parents death and was to look after her until she'd turn 18.
The man stumbled out the small apartment and left.
Silent crying began, she buried her face into her knees and cried, she always wondered why her life's turn into such a hell, why couldn't her parents have survived that ordeal.
No one ever knew just how much Akiyama was putting up with, After her parents deaths while she was in middle school, she did so well in hiding what she was feeling.
Not even Azusa knew what was truly hidden behind those gloomy eyes.
"(Grumble)"
Akiyama's stomach grumbled in hunger. 'I don't think there's anything in the fridge...'
The girl rubbed her eyes and got herself together, '..I better get some groceries', she thought
"(BEEEEP!) (BEEEEP!)"
The corvette's horn beeped loudly.
"Fuck outta the way!", Ritsu screamed out the window.
"Ritus calm-"
"Screw you bitch!", a random man yelled out his window.
"GO FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE!"
Mugi sweat dropped, 'Oh boy, this'll take a while'
Car horns blared at each other, a traffic jam was to blame.
"God damn it!", Ritsu smacked her steering wheel, "Fuck!"
"(sigh), why don't you just take that other short cut?"
Ritsu gave Mugi a quizzical look, "What short cut?"
Mugi simply pointed to her right.
"Uhhh...That's a wrong way"
"So?"
'What's up with her today?'
"Well i was trying to avoid that cause you usually tell me to follow the rules, Buuuuuut if you insist"
Ritsu looked behind her and then reversed a bit and then she went forward and fully turned the steering wheel to her right. other driver were observing this and they all became confused. With the steering wheel fully turned to the right, she put her foot down on the pedal and drove right across a bunch of other cars.
"That's wrong way!", driver yelled out there windows
Ritsu sported a devilish grin and quickly made the car disappear from the other drivers sight.
Ritsu made a harsh turn to the left and ended up parked by a side walk in front of their desired food destination.
"I never would have thought Mugi would have the guts to break rules~", Ritsu mocked as they got out of the car.
Mugi pouted, "Never underestimate me Tainaka"
Many people stopped to have a look at the car, all were in awe. Was this kid the driver? they thought
Ritsu and Mugi slipped into the burger place and made their orders.
As the blond and her tawny haired friend sat at a booth, Mugi couldn't help but think her friend's found an interest in that Akiyama girl. She barely saw Ritsu smile after what happened to her mother, but after meeting this Akiyama girl, Ritsu's been acting different.
"Soooo Ritsu...", Mugi began as she observed Ritsu fold her arms over her head.
"Uhhh Yeeeaaah?"
"About Akiyama..."
Mio walked around, she'd catch a few guys glancing at her every now and then and as long as they stay away from her, she'd keep her composure.
She decided to go out and get some groceries for her to eat, she'd completely forgotten to go food shopping yesterday.
She internally sighed, her arms were burning in pain. She'd wonder why her uncle always came drunk to knocking at her door and harass her, every Wednesday and Fridays.
'No one would really care if i confided in someone'
Mio felt so helpless and hopeless, she was starting to feel herself wanting to give up.
"Akiyama-san?"
Mio turned, 'Hirasawa-san?'
"Hey, Azusa-chan was looking for you today after school, did you walk straight home?", The kouhai questioned.
Mio nodded
"Oh, Azusa was worried about you"
This Hirsawa girl was Yui's younger sister, Ui.
'Azusa was worried huh? that's all i'm good for, worrying people'
Ui tilted her head, "what happened to your cheek, Senpai?"
Mio shrugged and waved goodbye and quickly ran off. "Wait Senpai!"
Ui sighed, 'Senpai'. Ui always wanted to get close to Mio but Mio only ever allowed Azusa in and no one else.
"Bill please!", Ritsu waved her hand in the air.
Mugi had a bag with some left overs in it as for Ritsu, well Ritsu ate all her food.
"Here you are", the waitress said with a giggle
"thanks", Ritsu paid and also tipped the pretty waitress.
"Uhh This isn't too much?", the waitress said in confusion
"Uh No, why is it too much?", Just like Mugi, Ritsu tipped the waiters and waitresses too much. the two even paid too much for something sometimes.
"Uh Well..."
"You're great at your job soooo, i thought you deserved it"
The manager came out to see what the commotion was, "What's going on?"
"Uhh-"
"She thinks we tipped too much"
Everyone sweat dropped. the manger looked at the paid bill and the extra thick roll of cash. His eyes widened 'What the hell!'
He bowed and made the girl bow too, "She thanks you for the tip, sir"
'SIR!?', "Uhh-" just as Ritsu was about to speak, Mugi dragged her out and waved goodbye to the shocked manager and waitress.
"Baka, It would have been sooo awkward it you'd gone and said 'I'm a girl!'"
"B-But that's what i'am!"
Mio slowed down and turned back to see if the Hirasawa followed her.
'Looks like she didn-'
"UUUFF!"
"Ricchan!"
"(Thud)"
"Ah shit"
Mio quickly got up and bowed.
Ritsu stood up and was about to start bitching but she quickly shut herself up.
"A-Akiyama-san"
