Chapter 6
Christmas Heartbreak
"Kamiya!! What the hell are you doing? I thought you were going to actually be helping us out here!!" Kouji yelled from the living room, where he was trying to hoist a heavy Christmas tree up onto its stand.
"Hee Hee Hee!! Just a minute!!" Kami called from her bedroom.
Kouji sighed. "I never agreed to do all the work...." he muttered.
Takuya laughed and helped him push the tree up. Kouji sighed. Takuya walked up behind him and slipped his arms around the boy's thin waist. Kouji smiled and leaned into the embrace. Both of their eyes were closed, and both were swaying back and forth. Suddenly, there was a click and a flash next to them. They both looked over to see what had happened, just in time to see Kami giggling and holding up her camera. The two lovers blushed furiously and Kouji growled at the girl.
"Oooh!! DAMMIT TO HELL KAMIYA!!" Kouji yelled, jumping at the girl, grabbing for the camera.
Kamiya lifted the camera above the boy's head.
"Nope, sorry." She said. Then, she spun around. "But...what do you two think of my outfit?" she asked.
Kamiya was in a maroon dress that cut to right above her knees. It was velour, and quite fuzzy looking. Lining the bottom, long sleeves' wrists, and collar was a thick white faux fur. Her boots that went about three inches up her leg on each leg were also deep red, and her blonde-blue hair was pulled up into a high pony tail with a bright red ribbon, complete with gold bells. Kamiya smiled.
"Well? What do you think? I made it all myself." She beamed.
"I love it!! I can't believe you made all that!!" Takuya said.
"Actually, that is pretty good. You did well, Kami." Kouji said.
"Thank you guys!!" Kami squealed, hugging them.
Both boys blushed and looked at each other. Kamiya giggled.
"Hey, boys. Look up!" Kami said.
Both of the boys looked up to see mistletoe hanging above them, and Kam could have sworn that they somehow managed to pull off a full body blush. She giggled again and kissed them both on the cheek. Then, she stepped away and smiled.
"Now it's your turn!!" she squealed.
The two boys blushed and glanced at each other again. Takuya closed his eyes. Kouji leaned forward and kissed the other boy's lips. Kouji, with his own eyes closed, felt Takuya sigh into the kiss and open his mouth. Kouji took this opportunity and slid his tongue in. Takuya wrapped his arms around Kouji's waist, and Kouji followed the motion. Soon, there was another click and flash, and they broke the kiss. Kouji fumed while Takuya blushed.
"DAMN YOU, KAMIYA!!" Kouji yelled, launching himself at the girl and grabbing for her camera.
Kamiya jumped backward, just barely out of Kouji's reach. She giggled.
"GIVE ME THE DAMN CAMERA!!!" he yelled.
"Nuh-uh!! Don't think so!!" she said. "No way!!"
Kouji made another grab for her, and she turned to dodge him. Kouji however, tripped on the rug and fell face first onto Kamiya, knocking her over. She screamed as she fell, and Takuya reached out to catch the two, but it was too late. They landed with a thud on the floor, Kouji on top of Kamiya. As the two lay in this rather awkward position, Yamato walked into the room. He laughed.
"I'm not sure I even want to know." He said.
Then, the blonde reached down and grabbed the camera out of Kamiya's hand.
"Say cheese, you two." He said.
Both blushed at the rather awkward position they were in, and glared at Yamato. Kamiya stood, and as Yamato handed her back the camera, she kissed him. Suddenly, the phone rang. Kamiya began to walk over to it, and Yamato grew a look of fear. Kouji looked puzzled, and glanced at Yamato questioningly. Yamato glanced at Kouji.
"It's bound to be her mother." He said.
"Her mother?" Both younger boys said in unison.
"What would she want?" Kouji asked.
"That's the thing." Yamato said, looking back at Kamiya. "She wants to take Kamiya back home."
"WHAT?!?!?!" the boys said again.
"But she can't do that!!" Takuya spat.
"She's her mother-yes she can." Yamato said.
"That's right." Kouji said. "Unfortunately, she can indeed."
"And that is what I am truly afraid of." Yamato muttered.
Back at the phone, Kamiya picked it up with a smile.
"Moshi Moshi! Kami-chan at your serv..." Kamiya was cut off in her introduction.
"Kamiya, cut the crap." A woman's voice said on the other end.
"Mom..." Kamiya muttered.
"Yes. Kamiya, I need to speak with you about something important. I am going to be in Shinjuku on business over Christmas." She said.
"Really? That's great! You can come to our Christmas par..." Kam was cut off yet again by her mother's sour remarks.
"I have no need for such ridiculous things as idiotic teenage parties. Now then, are you over your childish fling?" her mother asked.
"What fling? I don't know what you're tal..." cut off again, Kami sighed.
"You know good and damn well what I am talking about. You got pissed off and threw a hissy fit because I was making you move, so you ran off." She spat at her daughter.
"I didn't run off, mom! You told me that if I truly thought I could make it on my own to go ahead and leave, but I shouldn't expect any help from you, dad, or anyone inside the family. That does not qualify as running off!" Kami shouted into the phone.
"Damn, her mom sounds like a bitch." Kouji said.
"She is." Takuya said. "At least, she always was when they lived here."
"I'm sure she's gotten much worse over the years, Takuya. She is a bitch and a half. She is completely against Kam staying in Japan. She has been trying her damndest for years to get her to go back to England. But Kam won't have any of it. She is dead set on staying here, with us." Yamato said.
"Why does she want Kamiya back so badly?" Kouji asked.
"Maybe it's because of her cousin, Ryuichi Sakuma." Yama reasoned.
"RYUICHI SAKUMA?!?!? THE RYUICHI SAKUMA???" Takuya spat.
"Yeah." Yama said. "Since Ryu was an orphan, everyone in the family was totally against him making a name for himself. But of course, since he was an orphan, no one could prevent him from doing so. The only two rooting for him were Kamiya and her father. But since the family was set on keeping him from fame, Kam and her father helped him sneak off in the middle of the night to live with his friend and temporary lover, Tohma Seguchi. That was truly the only way that he even had a chance of becoming famous. Kam's mom resented her father for helping the 'delinquent boy' sneak off like that and make a fool of himself. And when Kam had her heart set on coming back here, her mother had a freakin' spazz attack and damn near beat the hell out of her. Personally, I wanna kill the bitch." Yamato said simply.
"God....I never would have guessed." Takuya said. "She was always a bitch before, but I never dreamed she'd do that."
"A lot of things parents do would amaze you, Takuya." Kouji said.
He walked up right behind Takuya and wrapped his arms around the brunette. Takuya nuzzled Kouji's chest, and they continued to watch and listen to the phone conversation.
"Mom! I can't believe you are pulling this crap! What the hell did I do?" Kamiya screamed.
"Kamiya, you're acting like a child throwing a tantrum. Grow up! You cannot continue living in this fantasy world of yours forever! Are you forgetting you have a job to do?" her mother said with a sigh.
"I realize that I have a job to do, mom! But I thought we had agreed that I could do it much better here!" Kamiya continued to scream into the phone.
"Oh stop that! Yelling at me like you control me. This may come as quite the shock to you, but you don't. All you're doing there is getting further and further in the way. There is no way that you can accomplish anything like that. So until further notice, you will be coming back to England and living with me. I won't argue with you on this any further, do you understand, Kamiya?"
"Mom, this is stupid!! Do I not get a say in things? Come on! I'm almost 17!! I need to start making my own decis-" Kamiya had been cut off.
"Good bye Kamiya. I will be there to pick you up in two hours. You'll need to have your things packed and ready by then." Her mother said.
And with that, she hung up. Kamiya started, gaping, at the phone for a moment, before finally setting it back in its cradle. She slowly walked over to the three boys. Her head was hanging, and her eyes were downcast. Yama closed his eyes and sighed.
"How did it go?" Takuya asked.
Kamiya picked up her head, and for the first time since she had hung up the phone, the three could see her eyes. Tears filled them, and some streamed down her face. She rushed into Yama's embrace, and he wrapped his arms around his sobbing fiancée. He rubbed her back, and the other two boys watched them, looking defeated.
"It's not fair!! It's just not fair!! How can she do this to me? What did I do? I don't want to leave!! I don't want to have to say goodbye to you, or Kouji, or Takuya, or Izumi, or Hikari, or any of them!! But she's making me leave!! She's just going to come and drag me away!! She said she'll be here in two hours to pick me up, and then we're going back to England!! But I don't want to!! Yama, I just don't want to!!" Kamiya said through her sobs.
"Isn't there...anything we can do...anything at all?" Takuya asked, tears filling his eyes as well.
Kamiya simply shook her head and continued to sob.
"Dammit....damn it all to hell!!" Kouji cried out. It was obvious that he was trying his hardest to keep his sobs in as well. "I hate this!"
"Kamiya....I need you here!! I mean come on!! What'll happen if Kouji and I break up again?? Who's gonna get us back together?" Takuya sobbed.
"This isn't right..." Yama whispered.
"This is bullshit!! There has to be something we can do!! I can't stand feeling so weak and helpless...." Kouji sobbed, sinking to his knees. He punched the ground. "I can't stand it at all!!"
The four stayed there, sobbing, for another half hour, until Kamiya finally wiped her eyes for the final time and said she was going to go get her things packed to make sure that she wouldn't leave anything behind. The other three watched her go and hung their heads.
"Why now? Why when everything is finally going right?" Kouji asked.
♠♣♥♦
About an hour later, the doorbell rang. Yamato sighed before he finally stood from where he had been sitting on the sofa and answered it. Before him stood a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was about 5'7", and was extremely skinny, a little bit more than even Kamiya. She had a hair color that was slightly darker than Takuya's. She was glaring at the blonde through her thin glasses. Her black heels clicked as she walked in the door, and her light blue suit and tan pantyhose, along with her black thin briefcase topped off her business-like look in its entirety.
"Hello, Yamato. I trust Kamiya has been under your care?" she asked.
Yamato nodded.
"While that's not something I entirely approve of, I suppose it can't be helped." She said, she took off her glasses and put them in her pocket, and her hair, which had been in a bun, now fell to her shoulders.
Kouji and Takuya walked into the room. Upon seeing the woman, they bowed.
"Hello, Takuya-kun." She said, looking at Takuya. "And the other one must be Kouji?"
Kouji scowled, but nodded.
A moment later, Kamiya walked into the small living room of the apartment and glared at her mother.
"Hello, Kamiya." Her mother said, meeting her gaze.
They stared at each other for a moment before Kamiya turned away from each other, muttering a simple "Fuck you."
Kamiya's mother sighed and bowed to the three. "I thank you for taking such good care of my daughter." She said.
"If we were taking such good care of her, then why does she have to leave?" Yama asked.
"You should know that best of all, Yamato. But we had better get going now. I trust you all said goodbye." Her mother said.
Takuya walked over and hugged Kamiya, muttering a quick goodbye, and Kouji did the same, as well as muttering a thank you. When it came to Yama's turn, Kamiya took the opportunity to whisper something in his ear. He gasped, but smiled, and with a kiss, the two parted. Kamiya bowed, and walked outside, followed closely by her mother. As soon as they were gone, Yamato began to laugh. When the two gave him an odd look, he simply told them what Kamiya had told him:
"If she wants running away, I'll sure as hell give her running away."
