Chapter 6……..Reunited
Kimiko decided it was her destiny to call Raimundo. It rang once, twice and then someone picked up.
"Hello," he said.
"Hi Raimundo its Kim,"
"Kim how have you been I haven't talked to you in ages?"
"I'm okay I heard about your brother I'm so sorry,"
"It's really depressing especially going into town where everyone is always saying oh are you okay and stuff,"
"Yeah, Clay's here he told me everything,"
"Oh yes he arrived!"
"I'm having lunch with him tomorrow but Rai if you come here and come to the wedding my dad will have you killed, he doesn't want me to ever speak to you or see you again after the wedding."
"Kimiko that's a risk I'm willing to take to see you again,"
"Rai you're so sweet I didn't think I'd ever see you or hear from you again."
"So I heard you're marrying Jack,"
"I know but me and him have something in common,"
"What's that?"
"Before the marriage he had a girlfriend but he never told his dad so that's when this happened."
"Oh well maybe she'll come in and rescue him so then I can have you back,"
"Yesterday I had to pick out the cake and stuff I made bad decisions I bet because I kind of just pointed at things,"
He laughed, "Wow that sounds like fun,"
"My dad's being an asshole, he thinks I'm disobeying him by not talking, kissing, flirting with Jack, he just doesn't get it!"
"I feel so bad for you having to deal with him,"
"Keiko thinks we should kill Jack,"
"That sounds like a good idea,"
She laughed, "Oh my god my dad's outside the door I have to go love you bye,"
She flung her phone under her sheets and pretended to be reading a book.
"Come in," she yelled.
"Kim so who was at the door earlier?"
"Oh that's one of my friends from Texas, he's here for the wedding but don't worry dad he's just a friend."
"Do you think I'm being unfair?"
"YES!"
"Kimiko it's something we have to do to have the company survive you know that,"
"Yeah but your totally disrespecting my feelings especially by cutting me off completely from Raimundo, Dad if you met him you'd figure out you have a lot in common, besides I don't want to live in a life of luxury and jewels I just want to be a normal adult."
"Kimi without money you couldn't buy all the clothes you have in your closet and you just couldn't take my convertible and drive everywhere you want."
"I don't care I thought I would actually have a shot at a normal life when I moved in with Rai but then you wanted to see me and this happened."
"You weren't born normal you were born into a family where you have to go with arranged marriages."
"Dad I'm not getting married to him, no lie this time it's either you let me marry who I want to or else I'm going away and never talking to you again."
"Kim don't do that otherwise I'll send the whole FBI out looking for you and when they find you you'll be in soo much trouble!"
"I really don't care finally something good happens to me and you're ruining it!"
"Whatever goodnight!"
She went to sleep so she could wake up early.
"Clay someone better stop that wedding otherwise I'll, well I don't know but I won't stay with Jack, I'll run away and last night my dad threatened to call the FBI and have them track me down but you know, he's all talk."
"Kim you and your dad should see a consoler or somethin,"
"No I don't want to I can hardly stand looking at him anymore rather the less be in the same room for an hour and have to talk about our problems,"
"So did you talk to Raimundo at all?"
"Yeah I called him after you left, he's such a sweetheart he said that he would risk death to see me once more isn't that sweet?"
"Yeah Kim why don't you just leave for Brazil to see him?"
"I don't know maybe because theirs one part that wants me to have that whole princess fantasy but this time it would be for real not just a fantasy!"
"Wow I can see where most people would want that."
"Yeah I'm just glad at least you're their, Omi's never around anymore have you heard from him at all."
"No he must be really busy working or something!"
"Yeah Kieko thinks he's cheating,"
"It's Omi!"
"I know, oh my god Rai's calling me!"
"Oh my god Kim answer it!"
"Clay will you get a manicure with me?"
"No guys don't get those,"
"Hello,"
"Hey Kim what's up?"
"Hey nothing Clay's here to,"
"Hey Clay," Rai said.
"Oh hey Rai," Clay said.
"So what's up?" Kim asked.
"Nothing just wanted to talk to you," Rai said.
"Oh that's so sweet," Clay said.
"The funerals been bumped up a couple of days, I'm on my way their right now and then in two day's I'm coming out to Tokyo but I'm going to be an undercover wedding guest,"
"Oh you're very sly," Kim said smiling.
"Okay well I'm here so I'll call you in a couple days when I get their,"
"Okay by Rai love you,"
"Love you to bye,"
"Clay did you hear that he's coming he's really going to be here,"
"Kim I'm happy for you!"
"Thanks Clay I just cannot believe it!"
"Your dad though,"
"Raimundo will have to pretend to be a relative then my dad will accept him t he house I mean he's going to have a disguise and then something will happen and everything will work out perfectly!"
"You have a wide imagination Kimiko your dad's a hard ass!"
"Your right which means he won't be able to talk to him at all so I'll have to answer the door,"
"Okay then I just didn't know about any of this okay,"
"Fine Clay don't be part of my brilliant plan,"

Raimundo sat out in the lobby not quit ready to face all his relatives who were waiting around for him to give him hugs. He also didn't want to see his little brother's corpse. Besides he was too caught up in what he had just learned to talk to people. More people came in dressed in all black. He thought they should change the colors to funerals to something bright to make them seem like something bad didn't just happen and that their was hope in the world like one died but a few more came in their place. He walked in and stood next to his sister who was staring at their brother. Raimundo tried to force himself away from looking into his brothers eyes but couldn't stop. Once again they were big and bright, they had obviously done something to tan his skin because the once pale and lifelike was once again bright. This irritated Raimundo to the highest degree making him something he didn't end as. They were lying to everyone who didn't see him in the hospital but when he dies they all come here and fake their sadness just to make him and his family feel better. He walked away from the casket ignoring all the muffled "he was to young," and "oh what a tragedy," The sooner he got out of the town the better. At least then her could have one of the most important parts of his life back. He stumbled out of the building and down to a bar. He knew drinking wasn't the answer but he needed a beer just one. He looked down at his cell phone anxiously; his flight was in less then 24 hours. He got back just in time for the speech. He sat down next to his mom who had been crying and still was. He couldn't keep his hands still he had to get out of here; he couldn't take anymore crying noises or else his head was going to blow off.

Kimiko and Clay had an enjoyable lunch. Clay was a very good listener too. Kimiko received a text message saying he was excited to be coming.
"Clay he's excited!"
"Oh my god you going to text him back,"
"One thing Clay does your fiancé know how you really talk when you get caught up in girl talk?"
"No,"
"Let's hope she never finds out no I have to like play it cool till he gets here!"
"Good strategy plan,"
"Thank you now Clay I need help picking out my outfit the day he comes back!"
"Okay let's go,"
Clay helped her find the perfect outfit to make Raimundo so happy he came back.
"Thanks Clay you made this day wonderful!" she said getting out of the car.
She skipped up her driveway and leaped up to her room putting the outfit away one piece at a time. Her dad and her ate dinner at separate table ends. They didn't say anything they just sat their listening to their forks and knives clanking on their plates.

Raimundo boarded the plane the next morning and was on his way to Tokyo. He had a smile creeping across his face the whole time. He felt kind of bad leaving his family all sad and here he was enjoying something. He wanted the ride to be a lot shorter then it was but he finally got off the plane happily. Of course he couldn't understand anything or anyone but still he enjoyed it. He found a tux that fit him perfectly and a fake mustache. To top of the disguise he added a matching hat and glasses. He found Kimiko's house in the heart of town and went to knock on the door. A butler answered but he could see Kim reading in the background.
"Yes sir?" the butler said making Kim look up.
She leaped and ran over to the door, "I can take it from here."
She pulled the glasses of slowly and saw deep sparkling emerald eyes staring at her. She took Raimundos hand and brought him up to her bedroom.
