CHAPTER FOUR

Ganko was running all over her place, excitement filled the young lass. Her oneechan's coming home today and she was busy decorating the whole house with whatever stuff she can think of.

Mrs. Kirisawa, although she wasn't running wildly like Ganko, was as happy as the blond teen. She was in the kitchen preparing all of Fuuko's favorite food. She wanted the day to be perfect for all of them and that Fuuko would like the surprise they prepared for her. And Fuuko's old friends will be coming here today. Recca called them earlier telling them to stay home and get the homecoming party ready before Fuuko arrived. He and his wife Yanagi offered to be the ones to fetch Fuuko from the airport while they're home setting things up.

A knock was heard behind the door and Ganko run towards it. She opened it and saw Domon and his girlfriend standing in front of their house, bringing a bunch of flowers on each of their arms. Ganko immediately let them in and her eyes glimmered at the sight of lavenders and lilac freshly picked from the Ishijima flower acres.

"Oh my God! Fuuko-neechan's favorite flowers!!" Ganko exclaimed as she whiffed all the flowers with her nose. "Thank you so much Domon-niisan!" the young lady enveloped the big guy with a crushing bear hug and turned to face Domon's girlfriend to give her the same gesture she did. "Thanks Miyuki-neechan," Ganko whispered. (A/N: Sorry, I cant think of another name for Domon's girlfriend)

Domon laughed at the girl's enthusiasm. Who wouldn't get hyper? Fuuko haven't even visited them for eight years and that's long enough to make them all excited and energetic after knowing that she's coming back home.

Mrs. Kirisawa just got out from the kitchen and joined them on the living room. Domon and Miyuki bowed at her respectfully which was returned by a smile and a slight nod from the old woman.

"By the way, did you like what I did here? Its cute isn't it?" Ganko beamed at the adults, awaiting their appraisals.

The adults examined her work by turning their eyes all around the place. The walls were decorated with lavender curtains and purple ribbons. Everything was a combination of white and any kinds of purple--dark-purple, lavender, light-violet, and a few maroon-colored figures were there. She also placed a large portrait of Fuuko on the wall above their big couch.

Over-all it was nice.

"You sure have the potential, child!" Domon grinned at her and ruffled Ganko's long blond hair. "Fuuko would love this!" he added with glee. His girlfriend smiled genuinely at her.

Ganko smug in satisfaction but pouted when she heard the word 'child' after Domon's first statement. She hated it when people call her that, especially her old friends. She knows she's the youngest in their group but heck, that was a long time ago and she's a full grown teen now. Or she thought.

"For God's sake Domon-niisan, how many times do I have to tell you NOT to call me that!" she grumpily said. "I'm already twenty-two, and obviously not a child anymore!" she snorted.

Mrs. Kirisawa did a slight laugh and the other adults followed shortly which made Ganko's temper increase to 100 degrees Celsius.

She 'hmp'ed and went to another part of the house to continue her work. The adults were amused and laughed more at her behavior.

"By the way, Mrs. Kirisawa, Recca called me before we came here. He said he and Yanagi's already in the airport waiting for Fuuko. They're probably on their way here right now," Domon smiled at the older woman who was wiping her tears away.

----------------------------------TOFUU---------------------------------------

"Flight 007 has just arrived" a woman's voice repeatedly echoed throughout the airport.

"Is that Fuuko's plane, honey?" Yanagi gently asked her husband who was seated beside her on the passenger's waiting area.

Recca smiled at her. "Yes, let's go," he stood and assisted his wife in standing. They both walked off to meet their long-missed friend.

People were crowded at the waiting area and different passengers were emerging from the exit. A lot of families, lovers, and friends were hugging each other when the couple arrived. They immediately searched for Fuuko while holding hands. They tried looking for her in any part of the area but there was no certain purple-head girl all around the place.

"Are you sure this is her flight? I can't seem to find her," Yanagi inquired her husband who was already tiptoeing, searching for Fuuko.

"Yes, yes, she said its Flight 007. I'm sure I heard her right," Recca answered.

"Hmmm," Yanagi sighed in dismay and tried searching the crowd again. She's not here, maybe she cancelled her flight. She was about to lose hope when she felt a pat on her shoulder.

"Looking for me?" Yanagi turned to face the familiar voice behind her.

"Fuuko!" she cried out and hugged her friend immediately.

Recca moved around him and saw his wife squeezing herself with …Fuuko? "Fuuko!" he also shouted.

"Whoa! Easy Yanagi! I don't want to crush that baby inside your tummy," Fuuko merrily laughed at Yanagi who was crying all her heart out after seeing the purple-haired woman. "Haha, are you sure you're happy seeing me again? You're crying like a spoiled brat!"

Yanagi giggled and wipe a tear out from her topaz eyes. "I'm so happy your back!"

Fuuko smiled back at her and grinned at Recca with a sly face. "You sure are good at making Yanagi 'occupied', Recca," she smiled mischievously and glanced at Yanagi's protruded part. "What number is that?"

"Fourth," Recca grinned. "And were planning to make it five to have a basketball team," and even grinned wider, placing his hands over Yanagi's shoulders.

Yanagi sheepishly smiled and Fuuko laughed.

---------------------------------TOFUU-----------------------------------

The three immediately chatted after they were all loaded inside the van and were on their way to the Kirisawa residence. Recca and Yanagi were both seated on the front seats while Fuuko comfortably rested behind.

"This is quite a big van you have here, Recca. You must have won a fortune," Fuuko said as she examined the van properly.

"Haha, thanks. Dad and I unexpectedly found ways to make our firework's more attractive and fortunately, a lot of people seem to like our works. Our business gotten bigger and more clients were added on our list of customers so we decided to make a bigger place for work. And we do exporting now," Recca answered casually.

"I see, Ganko told me you already managed a firework company during the times I was in the US and I called them here. So how's your mother and all the others?" she inquired.

"Well, Mom's still living with Koganei but they moved to a traditional Japanese house near the city. Its quite a big house too with four rooms. We sometimes visit them. Koganei and your sister Ganko go to the same university and I guess you know, both are graduating this year." Yanagi answered her.

"And would you believe? Your former idiotic admirer, Domon, is now engaged with another cute florist from Okinawa and he said he's bringing her today to meet you too," Recca told her, glimpsing at her occasionally while driving.

"Haha! That's great. Whew! I thought I would still suffer his confessions of undying love for me. I still remember when Tokiya and I were going out, he didn't give up and still bugged me over and over again. I was expecting he's still gonna do it now, its good that he managed to move on," Fuuko said and began to laugh.

The couple in front of her looked at each other and blinked. How could she talk about Tokiya or mention her ex-boyfriend's name as easily as that? When they all know that the reason she went to another country was to run away from him?

Recca smiled at her in the front mirror. She must have recovered from all of it now. Well, eight years was long enough anyway. "So, Fuuko, would you also want to know about Tokiya?"

Fuuko spread her lips to a smile. "Why not?" she casually told them. "How is he now, Recca?"

Yanagi answered for his husband. "Pretty well, he's the one running their company now after his dad retired. I can say he's one of the most successful entrepreneurs here in Japan today and we seldom see him, probably because of his tight schedule."

"Or he really doesn't want to see us. You know Mikagami, he's still as cold as ever. He never changed," Recca added. Then there was a little traffic build up and he stopped the van. He turned around to face Fuuko and said "He was even colder when you left and he always find a good excuse not to attend our reunions." Recca finished.

"But at least he has a happy marriage life," Fuuko said and averted her eyes sideways to see the outside.

"Hmmm, I don't think so," Yanagi said with eyes on the road. "He is five years divorced now and was left with a six-year old daughter. But I think he loves his daughter so much and he's probably happy with her alone."

"Wow… I guess so many things has changed while I was in New York," Fuuko took a deep breath.

"How about you? How was your stay abroad, Fuuko-chan?" Yanagi asked her. "You look very much different now. I'm sure everyone would be awe just taking a glance at you. You have become very much attractive and your long hair suited you well." she added.

Fuuko smiled widely and raise her fingers for the auburn-haired woman to see. "Happily engage," what was she answered.

Yanagi's eyes widened in disbelief. Her husband ducked his head towards his back. "Really, Fuuko?" they chorused.

Fuuko's eyes narrowed. What did they think? That I'd run away and never live another life? "Well, yes! He's gonna visit me here once he's not too busy at the hospital. He's a doctor, you know, so he will be having a little bit of a hard time getting a vacation leave 'coz doctors are limited there, nurse aren't," she said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"That is so great, Fuuko. We will be looking forward on meeting him, right honey?" Yanagi said happily then turned to look at her husband who practically nodded to answer.

-------------------------TOFUU------------------------

They reached the Kirisawa residence at exactly 10:30 in the morning. Recca pulled over and smiled at Fuuko's reflection on the front mirror. Happiness and excitement marked all over her face.

"Are you ready Fuuko?" Recca asked and looked behind him. Yanagi did the same.

Fuuko looked at both of them, an eyebrow quirking upward. "Why, are the rest planning to greet me with a cannon?"

Recca and Yanagi both laughed. And she joined them after. The three went outside the car after Recca parked his van in front of Fuuko's house.

Fuuko went first, followed by Recca who was assisting Yanagi every moment she stood or walked. The house was still the same except for the paint on it. The last time she remembered it was cream, but now it was change to pale green.

She stood at the front door and took a deep breath. For some reason, she felt reluctant to knock and stood there for a couple of minutes. Then she shrugged her shoulders and raised her knuckles, giving the door a flimsy knock. No one answered.

She blinked.

She knocked it a little bit harder, thinking her first knock was too weak to be heard. Still, no one answered nor opened the door. That's odd. She took a glimpse at Recca and Yanagi who both gave her the i-don't-know-what's-going-on looks.

She glared at the door and knocked it forcefully this time, making sure the whole neighborhood hear it. She waited for a few seconds but only the rustling sound of the blown leaves behind her was all she heard. Irritated, she positioned herself in front of the door, with her boots ready to knock it all out and go wild inside their house.

"Fuuko dear, surely you know better than to break our door," she heard a gentle and very familiar voice. Without hesitation, she twisted around and saw her family and old friends behind her.

"Welcome back, Fuuko!!!" they all greeted mirthfully.

Fuuko smiled from ear to ear and hurriedly ran towards her mother, crushing the old woman against her in a tight embrace. Ganko joined them with eyes full of tears and they hugged for more minutes.

Yanagi and Kagerou were blowing their noses at the current state of affairs. While Recca with Koganei, Domon and Miyuki just smiled, sharing the same sentiment.

Fuuko and her family pulled back from the hug and invited the others to come inside their house. All of them blithely got in after the Kirisawas.

It was already twelve noon but everyone couldn't stop talking and telling each other about their lives while Fuuko was gone. And Fuuko loved the fact that everyone was excited to see her again, as much as she loved seeing them again too.

"Domon, you big oaf! Who would have thought you'll get a pretty girl from Okinawa!?Haha!" Fuuko taunted her former adorer continuously.

Domon blushed hard with too much embarrassment. His girlfriend just smiled at Fuuko and began to giggle after her lover reddened from Fuuko's teasing.

"So when are you two planning to get married?" Fuuko asked.

Miyuki replied for Domon. "Probably in December, Fuuko-chan, but were still thinking of the right date. Were thinking maybe we should do it in our anniversary, its December 18, but mom said the day of Christmas would be suitable to add up holiness and romance," then she giggled. The first time she saw her, she liked Fuuko immediately. Not just because she's easy to talk with, Fuuko was naturally accommodating and funny. Miyuki didn't mind at all that Domon was once head-over-heels in love with her. She can't blame her, Fuuko was afterall, a very beautiful woman.

"I guess your anniversary would be much more romantic that Christmas, since it's the day the two of you met. But I admit Christmas would be cute too," Fuuko responded genuinely.

"I guess so, too," Yanagi voiced in carrying a tray of finger foods and glasses of juice.

"Oh Yanagi-neechan, let me help you," Ganko offered as she saw the pregnant woman carrying a heavy load of food to consume. She was talking with Koganei before she joined in.

"Thank you, Ganko-chan," Yanagi smiled at her sweetly.

"Now, Yanagi, why are you the one carrying those? Where's your good husband, Recca?" Fuuko frowned at the sight of Yanagi and helped her sit on the couch with them.

"He's helping Mom and Mrs. Kirisawa in the kitchen."

"He's WHAT!??! And since when did Recca know anything about the kitchen?" Fuuko almost hollered in disbelief.

Domon and Koganei choked their juices out at the news. Obviously, Fuuko's not the only one who doesn't know about it. Ganko paled at what struck them too. Were gonna die.

"Does Recca got plans of killing us? To hell I'm gonna eat Recca's cooking," Domon exclaimed.

"Me either, I'm still too young to die," Koganei said and Ganko nodded in agreement. Both were seated on another couch across Fuuko's.

Yanagi tittered. "He's honestly good at it. He started since last month and he liked what he's doing. Were even thinking of putting up another business, maybe a small restaurant to start with," Yanagi replied nervously.

"Hey guys, lunch's ready!!!" Recca called out from the kitchen. "Get your butts in here!" he added happily, sticking his head out from the kitchen.

Something like a cold wind passed by and all the people in the living room shivered. Domon and Koganei paled, dreading the next thing to happen.

Yanagi smiled at her husband and nodded in response. "Were coming, honey!" and she rose up, the others were reluctant to get up but didn't get any choice. They're starving from all the talk they had since the moment Fuuko came.

They entered the kitchen silently. No one volunteered to come in first, so Fuuko took the courage and led them to the big round table in the middle of their kitchen. She took glimpse at Recca (who was grinning from ear to ear) and the two older women, then to Yanagi.

She lowered her head and opened a very big bowl and took a peek of what's inside. The delicious aroma of the cuisine filled her nose and she gripped at the bowl's cover to expose it widely. "Chicken Soup!!! My favorite!!" Fuuko opened her mouth to gasp.

The rest behind her widened their eyes in amusement. "Recca you made that?" Domon asked, not believing.

"I know you wouldn't believe me if I say yes, but I did," Recca smug in satisfaction. Yanagi hold her husband's arm, happy that he had done another good job.

"Well, what are you all waiting for? Eat up!" Kagerou invited and everyone around the table was on their chairs devouring all the food prepared for them. The two older women just took desserts and chatted silently in the living room, leaving the younger ones to talk to themselves as well. (A/N: I just want you all to know that since this is an AU fic, Kagerou-san is not immortal, so she's as old as Mrs. Kirisawa in here, alright?)

The party went well. They started chatting again after lunch. She didn't tell all of them about her engagement, and Recca nor Yanagi didn't bring the topic up as well. They were busy talking more about their past, and reminisced all the trouble they got into during their high school years.

Tokiya wasn't there but it wasn't an excuse not to include him in their talk. Just like the Hanabishi couple, most of them were a little bit startled that she can easily talk about Tokiya without making a face. She talked about him easily and naturally, like the guy was just an old friend who didn't happen to come to her homecoming party.

Yanagi informed them earlier that Tokiya wouldn't be able to come because he got his own homecoming party to prepare. His daughter Kaiya was also coming home from a month vacation abroad. And Fuuko understood completely and was happy to hear that the fridge boy managed to have an offspring for himself.

They all decided to go home around six in the evening, though Recca and Yanagi went home earlier to attend their children who were left home with their grandfather. Domon, Miyuki, Kagerou and Koganei followed after them.

Ganko waved at Koganei as she stood at the front door. The teen winked at her and followed Kagerou and the other couple.

"Aren't you two official boyfriends and girlfriends yet?" Ganko was surprised to see her older sister behind her. "Fuuko-neechan!" she freaked out, startled and turned around to see Fuuko with a wide grin plastered on her face.

Ganko blushed a light shade of pink and waved her sister off, nervously. "No, no, not yet," she covered her mouth as she gasped at what she just said.

"Not YET?" Fuuko continued teasing her, pleased at making her little sister blushed even more. "So when are you guys gonna be together?" she drew back her lips, revealing her purely white teeth into a very wide grin.

Ganko looked down and tried covering her cheeks with her long hair as she answered. "After graduation."

Fuuko was happy for her and hugged Ganko sky-high. "I'm so happy for you, Ganko," she told her in a motherly manner. Ganko smiled and hugged her sister as well. Then Ganko told her everything about her and Koganei after she left.

At 9pm, both got tired and decided to rest. Fuuko let Ganko sleep first before she went to her own room. She was on her way to her room when she saw her mom approaching her. She gave her a longing smile and ran towards her, sobbing uncontrollably. "I miss you, mom."

"Its good to have you here again, child," her mom embraced her tenderly and she kissed he crying daughter on the forehead. "Now off to bed Fuuko dear, you must be tired from the party we threw on you," Mrs. Kirisawa didn't cry, though the felicity and contentment she felt now that her daughter's back was evident on her face.

Fuuko kissed her mom on her cheeks and embraced her again before she went to her room.

Her room was still the same as the last time she saw it. Her mom and Ganko managed to keep it as it was before, it looked barely unoccupied after eight years. She didn't take the effort to check all the things she left because she knew it were all still there. And besides, she's tired and exhausted from all the things they did today and the time she spent in the plane.

She positioned herself supinely on her bed, feeling relaxed at last. She stared at the ceiling positioning her palms behind her skull, remembering what Yanagi said on the car.

So Tokiya's divorced? I wonder what happened. But he was left with a daughter named Kaiya, so maybe he did love her, she thought. Her eyes turned into a darker tint of green. Whatever happened to him isn't important to her, nor does she care. Her mind was occupied at only one thought. That Tokiya is divorced. Making all things easier, for her.

She closed her eyes and covered herself with the comforter, a slight smile residing on her beautiful features and she fell on a deep slumber.

-----------------------------TOFUU--------------------------------

Fuuko woke up with the big Ganko jumping on her bed like the kid she used to be. Her three months vacation leave had started.

"Fuuko-neechan wake up! I brought you your breakfast!" the young lady jumped mirthfully and collapsed beside Fuuko, panting slightly. "Good morning Oneechan," she whispered on her ear and kissed Fuuko's cheek.

Fuuko giggled and faced her sister. "Good morning, Ganko," she uttered back and smiled at her sweetly. "What time is it?"

Ganko got up and pushed a tray on her. "Its 9 am, oneechan, and its church day. Here's your breakfast," she offered.

"Thanks Ganko, but let me get my face wash first," Fuuko brought herself up and immediately went to the bathroom to clean her face. She got out from the bathroom and saw Ganko sitting on her bed with her mobile phone on her little sister's ear.

Ganko raised her head and grinned widely at her older sister. "Oh here's oneechan," she beamed and eagerly gave the phone to Fuuko. Fuuko took it with an eyebrow quirking upward.

"Hello?" she answered cautiously.

"Fuuko…" the person on the other line answered.

Fuuko smiled and bit her lips excitedly, making the blond teen squeaked in delight. "Rai-chan, how are you?" she hid the emerging heat from her cheeks by slightly turning away from Ganko's delirious stare.

"Just here, missing you. How are you?"

"Alright. They threw me a homecoming party yesterday"

"Really? That's nice, I wish I'm there with you. It will probably take two months before I can have a vacation leave, koishii. I was assigned to another patient, and he's kinda severe. I'm afraid I will have to stay here until the first week of December. But I assure you I'll be there before Christmas," Raiha said gently on the other line.

Fuuko was sad but was happy that they're going to celebrate Christmas together. "That's alright, koishii. As long as you're here this Christmas," she retorted joyfully, trying to hide the disappointment she felt.

"Well, I have to go. I love you, Fuuko,"

"I love you more, koishii," Fuuko responded and both said their goodbyes.

She sighed and turned around, meeting Ganko's ecstatic eyes. She sweatdropped.

"Is there something you want to tell me? Or even if you don't want to I would still want to know," the lass grinned slyly.

The purple-head sighed and sat beside her little sister. "I'm engaged," she started and raised her hand's dorsa for Ganko to see.

Ganko squealed one more time. Her eyes glimmered at the sight of Fuuko's engagement ring. "This is like the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!!!" and she squeaked again which made Fuuko laughed, amused at her sister's exhilaration.

"I'm so happy for you, Fuuko-neechan!" she exclaimed, and compressed herself to Fuuko.

"Haha, thanks Ganko," Fuuko took her breakfast from her bedside table and placed it on her lap. "Want to join me?" she lifted her head and asked Ganko.

"Sure!"

----------------------------TOFUU--------------------------------

Fuuko, together with Ganko and their mother, was sitting silently at middle portion of the church. They bowed their head silently as the priest stated his prayer after he bestowed the words of God, indicating that the session was ending. They spent almost two hours at the church.

Fuuko checked her watch and saw that it was almost time for lunch. The church session ended and all people rose up and began crowding the building's exit. The Kirisawa family waited until a few people was left to leave the church. They were ready to go out when she heard someone called her from a distance.

"Hey, lady! You with purple hair!" the voice called out, getting nearer and nearer. Fuuko looked around and saw no one approaching her.

"I'm here!" someone tugged her jeans below.

She brought her face down and saw a very familiar face. "Oh hello there, I remember you," she smiled adorably and bent down. "We met on the plane!"

"Yea, yea, yea! That's me! It's good to see you!" the cute kid beamed at her.

"My, its good to see you too! How are you?" she answered with equal enthusiasm.

"Good, want to meet my family? They're over there!" the child began pulling her towards the direction she pointed at.

"Oh, wait up," Fuuko almost collided on the floor when the hyper girl dragged her along. She took glance at Ganko and her mother and saw them just smiled at her in understanding.

"You can go, Fuuko-neechan! Mom and I will just wait you downstairs," Ganko called out. They moved towards the exit and walked downstairs.

Fuuko concentrated on her feet while the girl dragged her along. She was having a hard time running with her without having her feet tangled. The girl was too small but yet strong enough to match Hercules.

"Obaasan, Ojiisan!!!" the orange-head girl waved at the two old couple while sweeping Fuuko along her mercilessly. The old couple paled at what their granddaughter was doing and the wife immediately approached them and stopped their young one's silliness. Fuuko felt dizzy and was relieved after the girl discontinued running, letting go of her hand.

"Now dear, you know better than to drag a lady along like that," the old woman narrowed her eyes at the young lass who just giggled and looked sorry for Fuuko.

She faced Fuuko with a concern expression. "Are you alright, my dear?"

Fuuko got up and dusted her jeans. She smiled genuinely at the woman and assured her that she was perfectly fine by nodding.

"Pretty isn't she? She's the lady I've been telling you since yesterday. The nurse, remember?" the child was still hyperactive even after the fast running they had.

On the plane to Tokyo, Fuuko remembered that she had a good chitchat with the child and even told her about her job and why she's going to Tokyo. The child, in return, told her that she was going home with her nanny after a month vacation in New York.

"Oh was that her?" her grandma looked at her grandchild and then to Fuuko. "She is so beautiful, Kaiya," the woman exclaimed adoringly at Fuuko, pinching Fuuko's cheeks.

The woman's husband came strolling towards them with his wheelchair. "Kaiya dear, what do we have here," the older man asked.

"Obaasan!" Kaiya hugged her grandpa and threw him a very big smile. "She's the purple-haired lady I told you yesterday," she said as she pulled herself gently away from the old man. "You know, the one I met in the plane," she added.

"Oh really?" her grandfather smiled and gazed at Fuuko. "Its nice to meet you, dear. Sorry that my granddaughter pulled you away like that, she can be very naughty sometimes."

Fuuko bowed at the couple and shuffled the girl's hair. She was about to tell them she have to leave but she remembered something. Kaiya? Now, where did I hear about that name? she thought hard and stared at the kid. Her eyes…

Oh, shit…

"Your name is Kaiya? Then you must be--,"

"Yes, Fuuko, she's indeed, my daughter…"

A familiar deep voice cut her out and she quickly glanced towards its direction, knowing fully what she will see next.

A/N: And that's chapter four everyone. Thanks for reading and please review. I would be gone for like three days or so because my family decided to take a vacation on my grandparent's place.
