Chapter 3: Hang Out
Ryouta was looking in the mirror while he was getting dressed. He was wearing a black shirt with blue jeans and black and white sneakers. As he finished the door bell could be heard. He could hear the door open and his mother greeting someone.
"Ryouta Kyou and your friends are here!"
Ryouta sighed and kept looking in the mirror as he was fixing himself. This was going to be a long day and he knew it. But he couldn't figure out why Kyou wanted everyone to get together all of a sudden. He bent down to tie his sneakers before standing up and rubbing lotion on his hands.
"Ryouta hurry up we don't have all day!"
Ryouta rolled his eyes as he heard Kyou's voice and obeyed. He jogged down the stairs before heading to the front door to see Kyou, Ryou, Tomoyo, Nagisa and Youhei waiting for him. He turned to his mom and looked at her "I'm going mom I'll be back later" he informed. Chiyuri nodded and hugged him "Have fun dear and Nagisa I'll let Katsu know that Akio wants him to come over. I'll probably head over there with him to see Sanae it's been awhile since I last saw her" Chiyuri explained. Nagisa smiled and nodded.
Seeing as they were not heading to school everyone was wearing different outfits. Kyou was wearing a pink shirt with a white coat over it. She wore blue jeans and white shoes. Ryou was wearing a dark blue shirt with a light blue dress coat over it. She wore a pink dress skirt with dark blue shoes. Nagisa wore a yellow and orange stripped shirt with a burgundy coat over it. She wore a burgundy skirt with long white frilly socks and yellow and orange shoes. Youhei wore a White T-shirt with Grey pants and White sneaker. Tomoya was wearing a Brown shirt and dark blue pants with dark blue shoes.
Everyone followed Kyou out the door and down the street. Ryouta looked at her and raised an eyebrow "What's the rush?" he asked. Kyou turned her sights to him "We have to meet up with Kotomi and the others" She responded.
"What are we going to do today it's only 12:00. It's so early we could have met up at a later time Kyou" Youhei whined. She just rolled her eyes "If it's that much trouble to you then you don't have to go" She replied. Tomoya scratched his head "He is right though it is kind of early do you have a plan?" He asked. Kyou just gave him a warm smile "You'll find out soon enough" She stated.
10 minutes later they had finally met up with others. They would see Kotomi, Kazuyoshi, Keiji and Tomoyo. They were also in different outfits. Kotomi wore a dark blue dress that ended at her kneecaps with blue shoes. Kazuyoshi wore a black shirt with blue pants. He wore black shoes, and dog tags that hung from his neck. Tomoyo wore a purple shirt with a tan skirt. She had a red scarf hanging around her neck and she wore black shoes. Keiji was wearing a white T-shirt that said 'Lone Wolf' in the middle in black highlights. He wore black pants with white and black shoes. "Looks like we're all here" Kyou said.
Everyone nodded before turning to see Keiji and Ryouta staring at each other with the hopes of finding out who could beat who. Tension was coming from the two and everyone could see it clearly. The two were not moving a muscle and everyone could see that they really wanted to fight each other badly. The two didn't need to speak to know what they both wanted it was like they were speaking to each other with they're stare.
"Alright you two that's enough!"
The two heard Kyou's voice and turned to look at her who had Tomoyo standing beside her. "You two will not be fighting today! This is a get together among friends so you two will have to get along weather you like it or not...am I clear...Ryouta" She said as she turned her sights from the both of them to just Ryouta.
Ryouta sighed and looked at her before nodding "Yeah I heard you. I won't cause any problems I promise" He replied which made her smile. "Keiji you said you would behave while we were here" Tomoyo stated. Keiji kept his sights away form her before speaking "Stop saying it like I'm a child or something. Besides I haven't done anything, don't worry their won't be any fights between me and him" He replied.
"So what are we going to do first?" Kotomi asked. Kyou turned around and grinned as she walked over to Kotomi and put and arm around her neck "Well first we're going out to eat and guess what the boys have offered to pay for us! Aren't they such gentlemen" She informed.
"WHAT!" Youhei exclaimed. Ryouta and Tomoya looked at each other and sighed. "The boys don't have to pay for-" Ryou started until her sister cut her off. "No we're delicate women the boys should treat us and they will. Well with that said let's go" She said as she made the girls walk forward while the boys followed behind.
"She thinks she's real clever" Tomoya whispered to Ryouta. Everyone headed to the nearest buffet and walked inside. There wasn't that many people seeing as it was only 12:30 so it was pretty much just getting started.
A women walked over to them and smiled as she held her hand out "Allow me to get you a table. How many all together?" She asked. Kyou smiled "We're Ten in all" She said. The lady smiled and turned around so they can follow her. She brought them to a big round table that had walls around it which made it look like it was V.I.P. The booth was big enough to fit 10 people in "This is going to be your table. "A waitress will be here in a moment to take your order on drinks after that you can go get your food." She informed. They all sat down and nodded. Starting from the left side of the round table all the way to the right the seating was Kotomi, Kazuyoshi, Youhei, Ryou, Kyou, Ryouta, Tomoya, Nagisa, Tomoyo, and then Keiji at the right.
"If I'm not mistaken didn't this place just open 3 months ago?" Tomoya asked. Ryouta nodded. "Bingo! This place is called 'Fire and Ice' and it's expensive $20 a person." Ryouta explained with his eyes closed. "WHAT! $20" Youhei exclaimed. Kyou raised and eyebrow "What? Can't afford it?"She asked.
"I can afford it!" He retorted. Ryouta leaned back in his seat and took a deep breath "The price doesn't bother me" He said. A young lady in a waitress uniform came towards them "So what will everyone will be having to drink?" She asked.
"I'll have water!" Ryouta called out. Kyou smiled at the waitress and spoke "Me and my sister here will have a strawberry milkshake." She stated. "Sister?" Ryou said. Kyou smiled and leaned forward "It's on the boys today remember so get whatever you like" Kyou smirked loving every moment of this.
"We'll take a Lemonade" Kazuyoshi said as he spoke for himself and Kotomi. "Orange Soda is fine for me" Tomoya said "I'll have Orange Juice" Nagisa added as she smiled at Tomoya. "Grape Soda for me" Youhei stated. "I'll have a water" Tomoyo announced. "Same here" Keiji stated.
The waitress wrote down everything they ordered and smiled "It'll be with you right away. When ever you guys are ready you can pick out your food. I take it you guys are first time seeing as this is my first time seeing you here so I'll explain how this works. The stands and tables are filled with raw food Vegetable, Meat, Pasta, Seafood and so on. There is also seasoning and sauce that you can choose from. Once you get what you want you can bring it to the big round grill and the chefs will cook it for you. There you can watch the chefs cook your food and possibly do some tricks while your waiting. Please enjoy and you can go up for as many rounds as you want" She explained as she began to walk away.
Everyone nodded and stood up. Ryouta, Kazuyoshi, Tomoya, Keiji and Youhei went to the raw meat section. Nagisa and Tomoyo went to the Seafood section. Kotomi went to the Salad section and Kyou and Ryou went tot he Pasta section.
Once everyone got their food they brought it to the chefs which were cooking near a big round grill. The girls were amazed at how the Chefs were throwing the food into the air and catching them perfectly. It was the first time they had seen anyone do such things. Once their food was ready they went back to their table and started eating.
"This steak and Cheese sandwich is delicious!" Youhei said as he took a bite out of his sandwich. "You are fat!" Ryouta stated. Youhei glared at him and swallowed his food "What's that suppose to mean!?" Youhei asked. Tomoya took a sip of his orange soda and looked at Youhei "It means look at your plate, for god sakes you have a huge steak sandwich and a quarter pound cheese burger with Bacon!" Tomoya said. "It's all you can eat! Why does it matter?" Youhei asked.
Kazuyoshi took a bite out of the boneless chicken that was on his plate "Well with everything you got on your plate I would say that you're about to consume large amounts of calories. From the looks of it that whole meal together has to be 1200 calories." Kazuyoshi said.
"It's even worse because we all know that's not all your going to eat today you might have fast metabolism but that's no excuse to eat like your a fat guy" Ryouta stated. Youhei pouted and continued eating "Ah shut up I'll eat what I want" he replied. Tomoya and Ryouta looked at each other and laughed.
"Sister I been meaning to ask you something" Ryou said as she turned to her sister her was eating her spaghetti. "What is it?" she asked. Ryou took a sip of her milkshake through her straw "One of my friends said that you had recently turned down a boy who asked you out 2 days ago is it true that it was Yutaro who asked you out?" She asked.
Ryouta choked on the boneless sweet and sour chicken he was eating when he heard the question "You mean that new freshmen that transferred to our school. Wow he just gets there and is already on a roll" Ryouta said in annoyance. This made Kyou smile happy to know he actually cared about who she ended up with "He's a nice guy but he;s not my type so instead I offered to be his friend. He accepted and that's how it's been ever since" She explained.
Youhei smirked as he looked at Ryouta who looked relieved 'You're not fooling me pal I can see you have feelings for her' He thought to himself as he chuckled. Kyou caught sight of this and looked at him "Something funny?" She asked. Youhei shook his head "No not at all" He said as he continued eating.
Tomoya looked at Keiji as she was eating her Sushi rolls and noticed that he was eating his Chicken Alfredo slowly and quietly not saying a word "Everything okay?" She asked. He nodded and continued to eat as his closed his eyes "I'm enjoying my food in peace" He responded. This mad her smile she couldn't help but like his stubbornness.
"So where are we headed too after this?" Kazuyoshi asked. Kyou smirked at his question "We're going to do Karaoke!" She said. "Sounds fun but I can't sing" Kazuyoshi said. Youhei smirked as his sights were now set on Ryouta.
"But Ryouta can" He laughed. This made Ryouta give him an annoyed looked. "Really?" Kazuyoshi asked. Tomoya and Nagisa nodded with a smile on their face "Oh yeah! Like a bird" Nagisa said with soft tone. "He's one of the best" Tomoya added.
Ryouta growled and glared at them "Shut it you three!" He exclaimed. Tomoyo smiled at him "It's nothing you should be embarrassed about. Singing is a gift that a lot of people don't have" Tomoyo informed. Ryouta sighed and nodded "I guess your right" he replied.
Twenty minutes had passed and it was time for them to head to the karaoke spot. Once they recived the check Youhei's eyes went wide "$220.00!" He exclaimed. Tomoya sighed and looked at Ryouta "It's not that big of a deal Sunohara. So Ryouta how about I pay for Nagisa, You pay Fujibayashi, Fukohei pays for Sakagami, Hiraga pays for Ichinose andc Sunohara pays for Fujibayashi sounds good?" Tomoya asked.
Keiji, Ryouta and Kazuyoshi nodded as Youhei looked into his wallet and noticed that he only had 30 dollars knowing that he needed 45 dollars for the both of them. Everyone could see the look on his face and sighed knowing he didn't have enough. "I'll pay for both Kyou and Ryou" Ryouta announced.
Youhei looked at Ryouta with shock "Are you sure man?" Youhei asked. Ryouta sighed and pulled out his wallet revealing to be what looked to be $300 in his wallet. "I have no choice in the matter I mean you can't pay for her cause you don't have enough. Just pay for yourself I got her it's not a problem" He said with a smile.
Kyou smiled at him knowing that he always had a kind heart. "Thanks Ryouta and sorry about this" Ryou said. Ryouta smiled at her and waved his hand a dismissing manner "Don't worry about it. It's fine" He said. Once the check was paid they stood up and left heading for the Karaoke booth which was down the street.
As they arrived they looked at the building that had music notes on the sign. "So this is the place huh?" Kazuyoshi asked. Kyou nodded and walked inside with everyone else. They all paid 10 dollars to get in and was escorted to a room.
When they got inside they all sat down on the couch and looked through a list of songs that were inside a book that was sitting on the table in front of them. Kyou smirked and looked around "So who's going first...Will it be Fukohei maybe?" she asked. Keiji huffed and looked away "You have got to be kidding me" He replied. Kyou then turned to Tomoya "Will you be going first then?" She asked. Tomoya sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Why don't you go first your the one that brought us here" He stated.
Kyou sighed and looked at Ryouta "If I go first then he's going after me" She said. Ryouta went wide eyed and looked at her "Why me?" He asked. Nagisa gave him a warm smile "It's because your the best" She stated. "Please Ryouta it would be very nice to hear you sing" Ryou said. Ryouta thought about it for a moment and sighed "Fine what ever" He replied knowing he couldn't win against the girls.
Kyou grabbed Ryou shoulder and her pulled her up on stage with her "Come on we'll sing our favorite song" She said as she started pressing buttons on the machine looking for her song "Party In The USA."
"But sister everyone is watching" Ryou whispered nervously in Kyou's ear. Kyou turned around and looked at her "Relax and have fun. I mean you don't want Tomoya to think your boring do you?" She asked. Ryou looked back at Tomoya who was chatting with Nagisa and laughing. She turned to Kyou and shook her head "No" She groaned. Kyou smiled and handed her a mic "Okay so let's have fun" She said excitedly. Five seconds pass The music began to play and the girls began to sing.
Kyou started to sing the first verse.
"I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess,
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on"
Once Kyou finished the verse Ryou joined in hestiantly and helped her out with the chorus.
"So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA"
Once the chorus was over Ryou started to sing the second verse herself.
"Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's looking at me now
Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on"
The two smiled at one another and sung the chorus once more together
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
"So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA"
Once the song was over everyone except Keiji clapped their hands and smiled. Kyou and Ryou smiled and sat down "That was so good you two" Kotomi complimented. Youhei nodded "It was but Ryouta will be better. Ain't that right pal" He called out. Ryouta closed his eyes in annoyance "Shut up" he said.
"Your turn Ryouta and you know what song I want you to do" Kyou said. Ryouta sighed and stood up and walked to the stage not really wanting to do it but knew he had to keep his end. "This is going to be good" Youhei stated. Tomoyo looked at Kyou "Is he really that good?" She asked. Kyou nodded "He's amazing but he doesn't like to show it. It actually runs in his family he has a cousin who lives in a different state who sings just as good as he does" She explained. Ryouta pressed a button on the machine and turned it to the Trey Songz section he then looked for one of his favorite songs and pressed play.
Once the music started to play and he began to sing.
"I see you, you're with him - he ain't right but you don't trip
You stand by, while he lies - then turn right 'round and forgive
I can't take to see your face, with those tears run down your cheeks
But what can I do - I gotta stay true
'cause deep down I'm still a GAnd I don't wanna come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can"Everyone except Ryou,Kyou, Nagisa, Tomoya and Youhei were shocked. Ryouta soon went to the chorus.
"Girl I can't help but wait
Til' you get that with him, it don't change
Can't help but wait
Til' you see that wit me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Til' you, see you, for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait""He's really good" Kotomi said. Kazuyoshi nodded as he continued to watch "He's really good his voice is so smooth" He said. Youhei smirked "He's a natural no one in our city is better then Ryouta at singing" he bragged.
"Listen, it ain't fresh to just let him call the shots
You're a queen, you should be, getting all that someone's got
You should be rocking the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, your worth
Much more than an occasional "I love you"
I'm thinking of you
And I don't wanna come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
Girl I can't help but wait
Til' you get that with him, it don't change
Can't help but wait
Til' you see that wit me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Til' you, see you, for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait"
Keiji looked at him and said nothing he just observed his style and how well his voice was staying on key. "He's really good huh?" Tomoyo asked. Keiji looked away "Big deal" He stated which made her chuckle "Be nice" She replied.
"Get it together - you can do better
Seeing's believing
And I see what you need so
I'm gone play my position
Let you catch what you've been missing
I'm calling out, girl 'cause I can't help but wait
Til' you get that with him, it don't change
Can't help but wait
Til' you see that wit me it ain't the same
Can't help but wait
Til' you, see you, for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I can't help but wait"
Oh - can't help but wait, babe
No-no-no-no-no-no
I can't help but wait
Oh-oh-oh, can't help but wait
No, no, no"
Everyone clapped as the song ended and Ryouta walked off the stage. "Still the best" Youhei complimented. "That a boy! Like your father would say" Tomoya laughed. Ryouta gave him a small meaningless glare "Don't even go there" Ryouta replied.
Everyone laughed and continued to have a good time. Later that day everyone had left the Karaoke booth and was heading to the movies. That was the last place there going to hang out at before they headed home.
As they was nearing the Movie Theaters Tomoya could notice that Ryouta had something on his mind. He could see Ryouta staring at Kyou who was talking to Nagisa and Tomoyo. "You really do have feelings for her don't you?" He asked in a whispering tone. Ryouta looked at him and gave him an annoyed look "You and Sunohara are really gonna keep pushing that on me aren't you?" He asked.
Tomoya smiled "Come on man we've been close for a long time. I know you well enough to know that you love Kyou" He said. Ryouta gently jabbed his arm "Shut up idiot! she'll hear you" He said. Tomoya smirked "So you do admit that you like her?" He asked. Ryouta sighed before setting his sights to the ground "Yeah but what does it matter. There's no way she feels the same she only thinks of me as her best friend" he stated.
Tomoya shook his head "No I think there's something there. I mean she cares about you a lot I'm sure she feels the same way you just got to find the courage to do it" He stated. Ryouta sighed "Your right but the thing is how and when?" He said. Tomoya smiled "Tomorrow" He said. Ryouta glanced athim with a shock expression "T-Tomorrow?" He asked. Tomoya nodded "Trust me man It'll work just ask her to give you a ride him and when you two are alone you pop the question it's better to do it now then live in regret" He explained. Ryouta sighed and thought for a moment "Fine..I mean your not giving me any choice in the matter! I just hope this goes as well as you say it will" Ryouta replied. Tomoya smiled at his friend knowing everything was going to be alright.
Well that's chapter 3 be ready for chapter 4 coming soon.
