Chapter 5….. New Feelings

-

Kimiko awoke to an annoyed knock on her door. She went and opened it up seeing it was just Jack. She attempted to shut the door on him but he caught it just in time and walked into her bedroom.

"Why are you here?"

"I have some things to show you,"

"I don't care, now if you would be so kind to leave me room and let me get back to my sleep I would really appreciate it."

He held up some pictures to her and she grabbed them. Their were pictures of him and a girl standing together, holding hands, and doing stuff you would do if you were a couple.

"Why are you showing these to me?" she asked sitting next to him.

"She was my girlfriend before this happened, I never told my dad about her because she was well wasn't important to his business she was just a normal girl, Kim I know how you feel."

"Oh Jack I'm sorry to hear about that,"

"I know I probably didn't love her as much as Rai loves you or you love him but it was still love and I know we have to do this."

"Your just like my father in so many ways Jack, we don't have to we certainly don't want to but your making me he's making me I don't want to and I won't, now out!" she snapped and pointed to the door.

Raimundo rested his head next to his brothers. He looked even worse then he did the night before. Raimundo wanted to cry but he couldn't. He hadn't talked to Kim for ages either he felt so distant and far away from everyone he loved. Later that night his heart stopped completely and by the next morning his brother had passed away. The funeral was scheduled for the next week.

-

"Kieko should I call him or text him or something?" Kim asked lying on her friend's bed.

"Okay Kim if you won't do it hand me your phone."

"No!"

"Yes he probably misses you,"

"Fine I'll call him but I'm putting it on speaker."

Rai was sitting in his room staring at a picture of him and his brother wondering if he should call Kim and tell her he'll be coming home earlier then planned. His brother had always liked Kim and Raimundo had promised him he could be the best man at their wedding if they ever got married. Both those dreams were over. For all he knew she didn't even care about this whole thing. He had, had voicemail for a day now but he hadn't checked it, it's not like he had anything better to do so he listened to it.

"Raimundo this is Clay, I just got a call from Kim and she told me everything, I think you need to help her no matter what it takes. She sounded upset; she was even crying over the phone! Raimundo get your head out of your rear end and help her, oh and I thought I'd share she's marrying someone from the Spicer family, HURRY!"

"Spicer,…. JACK!" he said loudly to himself.

That guy had been trying to ruin him for way to long now. He quickly called Clay back.

"Clay it's Rai did she tell you when the wedding is?"

"Hey partner slow down, it's in two weeks."

"Clay my brother died so I have to go to his funeral I don't think I can make it so will you go for me?"

"Raimundo I can't do that it's a very private wedding!"

"You have to Clay my relationship depends on it, you have to tell her I love her and she has to do anything to stall the wedding until I get their."

"Raimundo what are you thinking that's almost impossible,"

"You have to!"

"I'll do what I can,"

"Thanks Clay bye." He hung up.

"Oh my god what did I just agree to do?" Clay said to himself.

"Raimundo couldn't sit still.

"Raimundo your hyperness is bothering me," his sister said scooting farther away from him.

"Oh I'm sorry this has been such an odd trip though," Raimundo said.

His sister moved over to a chair so she wouldn't have to feel the coach moving under her. Most of his family stayed in their bedroom all day or sobbing somewhere.

Kim started dialing the number slowly to waste time but received another unpleasant phone call from her father.

"Kim we need you back here to get the measurements for your kimono, you and Jack have to pick the wedding colors, and the flowers, you have work to do no time to dilly dally over at your friends house."

"Okay dad I'll be home soon, Kieko I have to go I'll call ya later bye,"

Kimiko's head was out of it. She didn't say anything while she was getting measurements taken. Well she was thinking she should gain a ton of weight so the kimono doesn't fit her and they have to cancel the wedding. The flowers she picked the first ones she saw along with the cake. She still didn't accept any of Jack's peace offerings. They were just annoying. Her dad didn't get her at all which frankly irritated her the most. She had to call him if she ever wanted to talk to him again. Why did she get so much pressure put on her shoulders?

"Kim I'm sorry if you hate me,"

"God Jack why are you apologizing to me for hating you,"

"Well it's my job I guess,"

"Jack I don't hate you but I don't love you, you understand you had that girlfriend, no one can replace Rai and I'll do all I can to get back to him and end my life with him," she kissed him on the check for her peace offering.

He blushed a little and watched as she walked gracefully up the stairs and into her bedroom. She accidentally dropped her hair clip and it fell under her bed. She reached down to grab it but instead pulled out a picture of Raimundo and her at an amusement park. It hit her how much she really did miss him and that she had to see him again. Jack was nice but he wasn't anywhere near Raimundo. She lied down on her bed and looked at the picture until she fell asleep.

-

Raimundo looked through everything he had brought but didn't have anything black. He didn't expect death. Maybe he should of read more on the disease and he could of figured out if their was anything he himself could do to help, make him live any longer.

Clay searched the internet for plane tickets to Tokyo the next day. He had to see Kim before the wedding so that he could tell her to do something then. He got a ticket and started to pack his things right away.

"Clay what are you doing, your not leaving me are you we can fix I can change,"

"It's okay Ashley I'm not leaving you I have to go to Tokyo for a couple weeks but I'll be back soon," he went over and kissed her.

He drove to the airport and got on the plane sleeping the whole way. He arrived in a bright sunny area where the flowers were in bloom. He followed the address Raimundo had given him. He arrived in front of a big mansion with huge glass windows. He went up and knocked on the door. A tall man answered and Clay told him he would like to see Kimiko. Kimiko ran downstairs and wrapped her arms around Clay happy to see a familiar face.

"Clay what are you doing here?"

"It's kind of private," he said glaring over to the butler by the door.

"Then come up to my room," she said leading him their.

"Okay well Raimundo called me, his brother passed away and so he didn't know if he could make it to the wedding in order to sort of stop it so he sent me,"

"Clay why hasn't he called me?"

"I don't know,"

"He's so sweet, oh my god his poor brother, Clay I want this wedding off to but if Raimundo comes anywhere near me by my father he'll be beheaded!"

"Kimiko don't worry everything is going to work out just fine you'll see at the wedding!"

"Clay that's in like a week and a half tell me now!"

"I can't but let's have lunch tomorrow I'll pick you up around eleven, okay bye."
