I don't own anything.
Me, Minami, and Our Circumstances
A Fanfic by Takagi
Short A/N: This is the sequel of "Me, Minami and Hazuki, and Our Activities". I suggest you to read it first to understand the character's development. But well, no big deal.
This story is written from Akihisa's point of view.
Chapter 4: "Encounter"
She had a long straight auburn hair that gently touched her sturdy shoulders and a pair of sharp, shining emerald eyes. She also had a pointed nose, which made me think she wasn't Japanese. She was quite a tall woman, maybe about my height. Her thin but very composed body was wrapped in a tight black suit and a white shirt inside…
What's with this chick? I never thought that Hazuki-chan and Minami's older sister would be very beautiful and sexy like her! Heck I never even thought that Hazuki-chan had two older sisters!
Suddenly, her thin cherry colored lips curled as she bent, "You must be Yoshii-kun. Thank you for taking care of my daughters."
Daughters? HEEE?! Don't tell me that she is their mother instead of sister? No, I could be mistaken. I have to make sure of this!
"By 'daughter' means that… Madam is… Minami's mother?"
"Yes. Minami is my daughter, and so is Hazuki. What's wrong with that?"
"No, nothing is wrong… It's just that you looked so young that I almost thought that you are their older sister instead! Ahahaha," said I while scratching my head.
"My, my… Aren't you a polite one? Thank you Yoshii-kun."
Minami's mother's Japanese were very fluent for someone who lived in Germany for a long time. Hers are very different than Minami's when she introduced herself in front of the class during the first year of High School. Like Kirishima-san, Shimada-san (the mother) also had an aura of a highly-intelligent person. She looked like a business woman and such. Maybe because the suit she wears.
I am wondering now, why, despite Shimada-san's warm intro, Hazuki-chan is still standing next to me and grabbed my trouser? Shouldn't girls her age normally chase their mother instead?
"By the way, Yoshii-kun? Have you eaten something for dinner?"
Hmm. It will be very awkward to eat dinner with her. We don't know each other at all. I'm not sure if I could even have a flowing chat with her.
"Well, I actually have eaten a…"
"No, no. You don't need to be shy, Yoshii-kun. I don't mind treating you a dinner for this is my own money," she smiled.
How could she know that I was lying?
"Y… yeah! Onii-chan should eat dinner with us!" Hazuki-chan suddenly invited me too. But where's her usually bright cheerful face?
Feeling somewhat she is too smart for me to deceive, I agreed to have dinner with her.
"Okay then, Shimada-san. Let's…"
"-WAIT!"
Just when the three of us were about to make our way to the family restaurant across the street, someone yelled towards us.
And this voice is…
"Minami?"
Minami ran with all of her might. Was she going to beat me up because she thought that I am hitting on her mother?
…I will be a dead meat then!
"Hold on, Minami! This is not what it looks li…"
"Mother. What on earth are you doing with this creepy guy? I told you not to approach him at all cost, right?"
Creepy? Oh right, Minami hated me for some reason I don't know!
"He doesn't seem to be harmful for me. He is a nice guy, I suppose. And we are going to have dinner together at that German cuisine restaurant."
Heh? I don't know that there exists such restaurant over there! It looked like high-level building and I don't know what a 'gaststatte' means. It turned out that it might be 'restaurant' in German.
By the way, is it okay to let her treat me? It seemed like the foods are ridiculously expensive there!
"Ugh… Then I will go with you."
"Really? Oh, that will be great then!"
After Shimada-san walked on the zebra cross, Minami grabbed my jersey and pulled my collar to whisper, "Run. NOW!"
The traffic light was set to green again, making Minami and I unable to cross this street.
"Why should I run?"
"Because…"
Minami looked like she wanted to tell me something important. But after a while being silent, her angry eyes were back, "Isn't it obvious? Who the heck are you to have dinner with my family? Just get lost!"
"How could you said that Minami? What did I do wrong that had made you so furious?" I asked with a high tone. Minami was being unreasonable here!
My lips couldn't stop talking. I still remember why I am here, "And not only that! I wanted to talk with you, Minami! That's why I am here! To chase you until your home! You have been avoiding me all-day today, you know!"
Suddenly Hazuki-chan and Shimada-san called us across the street, telling us to quickly make a cross as the traffic light was back to red again.
"Tch. You were too late, Idiot," said Minami as she turned her back on me and left me in the dust.
Why? Why did Minami tell me to run away from here? I don't think she told me the truth just now.
"Onii-chaan!" I heard Hazuki-chan's call.
… I guess I will do what Minami said for now.
I waved back at Hazuki-chan and the other Shimadas across the street, "I'm sorry! My sister had just called me to tell me go home soon!"
My sister didn't call me at all though… and I think I heard Minami's mother said, "Oh, that's unfortunate then."
We waved a good bye and I walked back to my house.
By the way, I'm still not convinced of what Minami said. Why would she desperately ask me to leave? I know she hated me and all, but her words were really hurt my feeling.
Ah, maybe she only wanted to spend more time with her mother? Wait, speaking about time… Didn't Minami tell me that her mother only came for a day only?
Then howcome she still remains here?
…
Something is not right…
But I think I'm just exaggerating things here. It is up to her when she will be back to Germany right? I bet she really missed Minami and Hazuki-chan. It is normal for a parent who works abroad to miss her children. My old man and mom also always contacted me every day.
…
…
"What? You'll be coming on the drama day?"
"Yes, Aki-kun…"
"… Or do you prefer me to come earlier instead?"
"NO!"
"You don't need to lie, Aki-kun… Alrighty. Nee-chan will come one day before the drama day! Oh, God. It looks like my battery will wear out… I'm sorry Aki-kun… I actually wanted to talk with you more… Will you forgive this lowly woman if she gives you her first-"
"NO! NO! Good night, nee-chan!"
I hung up the phone and threw my body on the bed. Nee-chan was still calling me despite the expensive bill of making an international call from United States. Does teasing me really more important than her bucks? I never understand that woman's train of thought.
Dang it. Something hit my mind just now. What will Nee-chan do if she finds out that I'm going out with Himeji-san? She told me that she won't be allowing me to even stare at girls for 2 seconds! What an awful sister!
That's right… The beautiful Himeji-san is my girlfriend… I still can't believe this… Just by saying that words, my heart is fulfilled by happiness and joy.
"Himeji-saaaaan!" Said I, while hugging my pillow.
But wait…
Did I just forget something important?
Oh right!
"Himeji-san, good night! See you tomorrow at class!"
Sent!
This is what a couple does, right? Saying a good night mail before they sleep!
"Good night you too, Akihisa-kun~ Have a nice dream~ XO"
She replied! So quick! I don't understand what this 'XO' means though. Shouldn't it be the emoticon 'xD' instead?
But man, when did the last time I send Himeji-san an email? I believe it was during the school trip when I asked her to come to my and the guys' room in the evening. She almost killed me, Yuuji, Muttsurini, and Hideyoshi with her snack if it wasn't for Ironman's sacrifice.
Tch. Now that I brought back the memory of our trip, the petty incident of me wearing the girl sailor uniform also came back. It gave me a headache just by thinking it! Let's fast-forward it… What happened after that?
Oh, right… Minami sneaked into our room, and so is Kirishima-san. Man those girls are really…
Hmm… If I think back again, weren't my position and Yuuji's quite similar? We were both 'under' a girl. And why did Kirishima-san came to Yuuji that night? That is because she loves her right?
… Don't tell me…
"If that's what a normal lover does, that makes Minami also loved me!"
This scary thought even made me jumped out from my sleep. What's with this? Minami loved me yet she beat me up every single day? How stupid.
This is why I can't trust my logic…
…
Minami… I will still have to get her talk to me again. Usually, her smile always painted on her face every day, but nowadays, it is just gone. I hope I could see one tomorrow.
So then I skip studying for tomorrow tonight and close my eyes to enter my dream.
