The Missing Sailor

Chapter 8

The day went fairly well. It was actually the best day of school Emma had since she moved to Japan. She didn't think that she would be happy at all when she started the blasted school. She still hated school, it was tolerable though, when she had friends with her.

Emma was daydreaming as she and Sam walked hand in hand to his house. Katsuro and Rini were hand in hand a few yards ahead of them. Sam insisted that they walk in front of him to make sure Katsuro wouldn't try anything. It was actually very funny watching Rini scowl at her brother every time she looked behind her back to make sure Sam was the one who was behaving. Serena left school early, because she was getting her hair done. Emma liked Serena's hair. It was a different style, but it was pretty. About a year ago Emma had vowed that she wasn't going to cut her hair until it was about three inches past her shoulders. Right now it was about a centimeter past her shoulders. She would never let it grow out as long as Serena's. She also wanted it straight and silky like Serena's, but she knew that was a wish far away from coming true.

Sam looked down at Emma. He knew she was daydreaming. Her eyes said so. He also had learned that Emma would daydream 24/7 if she had the opportunity. Sam was actually excited about the dance. He didn't plan on going until he met Emma. He had no interest what so ever to go. None. Not until Emma had come into his life. He looked into her eyes. She wasn't paying attention to anything going on around her. He decided to be evil a little bit. He took her hand and spun her holding her body to his. She screamed as he did so. Rini and Katsuro turned at the high pitched shriek, but when they saw that nothing was wrong they shrugged and kept walking. Emma looked up at Sam and scowled. But soon her face softened, thinking that Sam's surprises were gone. She was, of course, wrong. Sam held his hand on her back and dipped her way back until her hair swept along the sidewalk. She gasped and held onto Sam's shoulders. Sam laughed and brought her up slowly to her feet. Once again she was wrong when she thought his surprises were through. They had walked two steps when Sam, literally, swept Emma off her feet. He spun her around and she laughed with delight.

Sam had carried her all the way to his apartment building, he even held her like that in the elevator. Mrs. Tsukino laughed when she saw her son carrying a girl into the apartment. She was relieved, although, to see that Emma was wearing black spandex shorts underneath her skirt. That way her underwear wasn't flashing everyone in the room. When Sam set her down onto the floor. She smiled and leaned against him as she stumble trying to catch her balance.

" Is Serena home yet?" Rini asked her mother.

" No, but she called and said she was on her way. She said Darien had to run to his apartment first, then she would be here."

" Good. She promised to do our hair" Rini said and looked over to Sam. " She is going to have hand full when she tries to work with that mop!" she smiled as she pointed to Sam's head.

" She isn't coming anywhere near my hair!" Sam scowled. Everyone laughed as Serena walked in with Darien. Her hair hadn't changed much. It was still in the same style, the only difference was her pigtails were tightly curled which caused her hair to seem it had shrunk up to her shoulders. It looked very nice.

" Hello, Madame Serena, queen of the hair has come" she said in a french accent. Emma and Rini looked at each other, afraid of what Madame Serena would do to their hair. " My, My. We should get to work. Girls you come with me, boys go to Darien" she said.

" Okay, first, Katsuro we are getting rid of the green hair tips" Darien smirked.

" WHAT!" Katsuro yelled. but Rini got hold of his ear and pulled it down so she could talk into it.

" You are going to temporarily dye your hair to it's natural black if you want a date for tonight's dance, got it!" she whispered. Katsuro nodded ( not wanting to have Rini dump him before they even get to the dance). The two groups both disappeared. Serena took to Rini's hair while Emma went in the shower. When Emma got out Rini's hair was pulled into a bun in the back of her head with curls flowing from the bottom of it. She had sparking hair clips in the bun. Rini went into her room in nothing but a towel. Serena and Emma heard a whistle, a smack, and a howl from Katsuro.

" DON'T YOU DARE WHISTLE AT MY SISTER!" Sam yelled.

" HEY, YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO REACT TO A GIRL IN A TOWEL?" -smack-

" WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!"Katsuro yelled again.

Serena and Emma both ran into the hallway. Emma was also in nothing but a towel. This time Sam whistled . Darien, Katsuro and Mr. Tsukino ( who had just arrived from work) smacked him across the head. Emma and Rini both blushed and ran in different directions. ( Rini in her room, Emma in the bathroom.)

One hour and a curling iron later.

" Okay boys, you all stand in the lobby and wait for the girls to come down" Mrs. Tsukino said, shoving the boys outside into the hallway.

" Rini, where did you get that dress?" Emma asked. Rini was wearing a long white gown with a pearl rope around her waist.

" It was my favorite dress from the moon" Rini smiled. Rini looked gorgeous. Emma, Serena, and Rini all got into the elevator. Serena was wearing a similar gown only it was a pinkish cloth. I had the same rope of pearls as Rini's. Serena's dress seemed more elegant and it flowed more as she walked. Emma was wearing the dress that Sam bought her at the mall. It was flowed to the floor. Her hair was pulled up by bobby-pins and curls flowed to her shoulders. In the curls where gold star-shaped hair clips that Rini gave her. She said Hoshiko wore them when they went to balls on the moon. When the three girls felt the elevator stop, Serena told them that she was to go out first, then Rini, then Emma. Emma was wondering why the order of appearance, but she just shrugged it off. Emma and Rini peered around the corner as Serena met Darien in the lobby. He was wearing his tuxedo from when he turned into Tuxedo Mask, without the cape, mask, and top hat. They kissed and Serena motioned for Rini. She walked out gracefully. Katsuro's jaw dropped. Rini came up and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed as he held out his hand for hers. She gladly accepted it. Katsuro had indeed gotten rid of the green highlights. He was wearing a black suit and a green tie. He looked rather dashing. Emma hesitated for a moment. She wondered how Sam would react. He saw the dress when he bought it for her. He bought everything except the necklace, and the hair clips. Emma put her hands on the star pendent. It seemed to glow again. It was warm to the touch of her fingers. Emma had finally built up the courage and walked out into the lobby. But she gasped when she saw that Sam wasn't there. She looked hurt. She had seen him an hour ago, but where was he?

Did he stand me up? God, I hope not! Could he have?

" Where's Sam?"she asked them. No one answered her. She just stood there. then she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Looking for me?" someone asked. She turned around and looked up. She looked up to see Sam staring back at her. She smiled back at him. Sam had his hand behind his back. He pulled out a yellow corsage. She smiled. It had a large yellow rose in the center to two rose buds. Sam pulled out her hand and slipped it on her wrist. Her smile widened. He smiled back at her. He looked at her hair. It was curled beautifully. He looked at the hair clips, they shimmered in the light. They seemed to be in their own world. Just the two of them. Where he loved her. He would always love her. She had this control over his heart. He looked into her crystal like eyes and smiled.

" Earth to Mr.and Mrs. Tsukino" Rini said.

" huh?" they asked her. then they realized Rini had just cracked a joke. "RINI!" They yelled. Rini yelped and hid behind Katsuro. Everyone laughed at the pink headed girl. Rini scowled and stood beside Katsuro.

They gang all went to pile in Darien's car. There wasn't enough room so Emma had to sit on Sam's lap, and Rini had to sit on Katsuro's. The boys didn't mind much. They actually were enjoying themselves. Emma and Rini looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

" Men" they said in unison. The boys paid no attention. They both had dopey grins on their faces.

' Heaven, I'm in Heaven!' both boys were singing in their heads.

Emma hadn't realized that there were so many kids in the school. There were hundreds of kids there all waiting for the doors to open. Emma saw Josh standing with Mina. He was wearing the suit he wore to Easter Sunday Mass, from the previous Easter before they moved to Japan. Mina was wearing a long, strapless, orange gown. She had her hair pulled into a bun. She had a long, orange sash wrapped around her neck. Josh waved for the gang to go over to him. They all followed. Josh smiled when he saw Emma's dress. She looked pretty. He noticed that Sam was staring at her. He knew that dopey grin anywhere. Sam was falling for his sister. Hard. Then there was a screech from the P.A. system.

" Hello kids. Before we open the doors to the dance, please remember there will be a buffet line for those who are hungry." Mr. Kamasuni's voice rang over the silent crowd. " and remember to behave yourselves. We have teachers scattered and are ready to call parents if needed. So everyone enjoy and behave your selves." the intercom. The mass of kids slowly made their way into the gymnasium, where the dance will be held. Emma, Sam, Josh and the others were the last to get in.

They made their way through the crowded hallways. Emma got separated in the crowd. she looked around for Sam. She couldn't see him. She stood there until there weren't anymore kids in the hallways. She looked at the trophy case behind her. Dozens of trophies and plaques. She looked at the plaque of " Favorites of 1985." It was a plaque of the seniors. She scrolled down the plaque. Pictures of the winners of the titles. She looked gasped when she saw a very familiar man in one of the pictures.

Favorite group of friends. . . . It read, . . . Kenji Tsukino, Ikuko Tattori, those were Sam's parents, and Hotaka Hanzo.

" My dad? He was friends with Sam's mom and dad?" she asked herself aloud.

" Well yeah, don't you remember?" some one asked from behind her. She turned around to see Sam standing behind her.

" no, I don't remember!" she said. She sounded slightly angry. Why couldn't she remember that!

" Oh, I know why" Sam smiled wrapping his arms around her.

" Well can I be in on the secret of my memory?" she scowled. Sam wasn't smiling anymore. He was remembering that night.

" You found out the night you had the asthma attack" he said. Emma didn't remember much about the night she was in the hospital. The only thing she did remember was her date with Sam and the letter that caused the attack.

" oh" she said softly. She didn't like thinking about that night. Now she was afraid of Sakura now that she knew Emma's weakness. The one thing that kept her from going out for sports that require running a lot. Which are the only sports she ever really liked. She hated the way she had to always be careful, not to tire out her body, not to overdue herself. Hell, she had a major attack when she had a small fever of 101.1. Her doctors said that as she got older, her asthma would get easier to handle. Lies. She's had asthma since the day she was born and it has been exactly the same.

" Emma" Sam asked. She had spaced out, yet again. Emma looked up again. Sam wiped his fingers across her cheeks. " Why are you crying no?" Emma just noticed the wetness on her face.

Thank god Serena insisted on the waterproof make up!

" oh. Nothing." Emma said wiping her face with the back of her hand.

" Liar"

" Don't start Sam" she glared at him. Sam smiled and hugged her. She hugged him back. She rested her head on his chest. She felt his chin on her head. They were only there for a minute but it seemed like an hour. She felt so warm in Sm's arms. Never in a million years did she think she'd find a guy who liked her. In her old school, she was the freak. The half blood freak. No one liked her except Meggie. Her best friend. They had the same personality. She had other friends. But Meggie understood her better than anyone, better than Josh, who watched her like a hawk.

" Sammy?" Emma asked looking up at him.

" god. Only my mom and sister call me that, not you too!" Sam scowled. He didn't hold that face for long before he smiled back at her. " how bout we go into the dance" he said taking her hand.

" Wait!" Emma said holding him back. Sam turned to her.

" what?" he asked.

" I want to give you this first" she said standing on her tippy toes. She leaned and kissed him on the cheek. Sam smiled and went cherry red. She smiled at him and stood in front of him. " happy?" she smiled. Sam smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist.

" Not yet" sam said. He leaned down and pressed his lips on hers. At first Emma was shocked. Then she closed her eyes. She broke the kiss after a few moments. She looked up at him and put her hands on his cheeks. She pulled his face down to hers and kissed him again. A quick kiss, but Sam felt the warmth of her face. Sam hugged her. Emma wrapped her arms around his neck. Sam heard her gasp. He loosened his grip and turned around. He did not like who he saw.

" What the hell are you doing here?" He yelled.
