I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Chapter 10!
An hour past until my Mummy woke up, she was feeling much better after her nap. We then got dressed into some clean smart clothes and left the Japanese Task Force's building, we then caught a taxi to a restaurant called Ganso Zushi. It wasn't a very big restaurant, there was a cooking area inside of a square bar in the middle of the room with chairs around it. But the smells coming from the restaurant made my tummy rumble, it smelt really good.
The restaurant my Uncle had chosen for us had a conveyor belt where sushi went around on it, it was very hard for me to get some though because I couldn't reach the conveyor belt. My Uncle A had to grab plates of food for me, he even let me try some of his lobster enoki soup. I didn't like it much and I decided to share some of my vegetable noodles with my Mummy, she couldn't eat much of the sushi though because she said she had to limit the amount of fish that she could eat while she was pregnant.
When we had finished our meal it was beginning to get dark, so we decided to go for a short walk before we returned to our apartment in the Japanese Task Force's building. Also my Mummy told me it would tire me out for my bedtime, but I didn't care about bedtime right now because I really like Japan. It was a very pretty place after dark and some of the streets had Chinese lanterns hanging from blossom trees, the streets even smelt nicer than Los Angeles.
We had stopped a few times and took a look in a few stores along the street, there was many clothes stores which annoyed my Uncle A because he didn't enjoy looking at girl's clothes. I liked looking in the flower stores of Japan though, they were full of different kinds of small trees and flowers. I saw many bonsai trees and dragon figures for gardens, I wanted to take a bonsai tree back to England with us.
It wasn't long until it was 8pm and the streets of Japan were getting busy, so my Uncle A decided to call Watari on his mobile phone. He arranged for us to be picked up at the end of the street, it would take Watari over half an hour though to get here. My Mummy said we should take a slow walk along the street and take our time before we got picked up, but I wanted to walk faster because the orange man was following us.
I had left my bracelet at the apartment on the sofa chair's cover because I forgot to ask my Mummy to unclip it for me, so I had to leave without it. The orange man had been everywhere with us and he kept whispering things in my ear while I ate, he was telling me old stories about my Mummy and his Alternative. That's what he keeps calling my Uncle A, he told me they once were friends when they were children.
I do like the orange man, but he was beginning to scare me because he kept looking at me while I was eating my dinner. I couldn't say anything to him in front of my parents and the other people in the restaurant though in case they thought I was crazy, he told me to keep him a secret from everyone. I sighed to myself has I looked over my shoulder has I walked, he was not far behind us again. I saw him walk through people and blossom trees on the pavement which was cool, but it didn't stop me from tripping over my own two feet though while I walked.
" Careful there sweetie..." Said my Mummy has she stopped me falling over again. " You will hurt yourself if you don't keep your eyes forward, what is interesting you so much behind us?
" Sorry Mummy..." I replied while I glanced over my shoulder again at the orange man and then looked up at her with a small smile on my face. " I like the trees here, what are they called again?"
" They are called blossom trees, we could plant one if you want when we visit my cottage again in the Summer..." She replied has she looked down at me with a smile on her face. " Not a big blossom tree like these ones though, the slim ones with pretty smelling flowers that fall from them in the Spring..."
" I like that idea, can we buy one today please?" I asked.
" It's not a good idea baby, it would die because we need to go back to Los Angeles after Akira has finished his job..." She replied with a smile. " The minute we visit England again I will take you to one of the garden centres in Winchester, you can then pick a blossom tree for the cottage's garden..."
" Okay Mummy, but I want a bonsai tree..." I smiled.
" Look at you getting all green thumbed, I'll get back to you when I have thought about it..." She said. " But let's not talk about plants anymore, we should be thinking about getting you back home for your bath and bedtime..."
" I don't want to sleep yet, I want to see more of Japan!" I said.
" Your Mum's right there short stuff, you need your bed and I need my laptop..." Said my Uncle A has he joined my side and looked down at me has he walked. " I've got a lot of record documents to go through before I can sleep tonight, I wish I could have a set bedtime like you..."
" Can help you instead of going to bed please?" I asked.
" I'm sorry sweetheart, but it's grown up work again..." He replied.
" Okay, but I still don't want to go to bed yet..." I said.
" Then I suggest you enjoy your walk instead of quickening you walking pace, we're in no rush to get to the end of the street you know..." He said with a smile. " But you've also got to remember that we've got the drive back to our apartment first, so we'll not return to our unknown location until 9:30pm..."
" That's late!" I gasped.
" It's a win and lose situation, you're getting your wish and you'll be overtired in the morning..." He smirked while he looked at my Mummy and put is hands in his jacket's pockets. " That means a peaceful morning for once, we can have a sleep in for a change and maybe chat about stuff..."
" Speak for yourself, you don't have a fidgety baby in your stomach..." She laughed.
I looked up at my Uncle A and watched him pouting at my Mummy, I have no idea why he his sad about the baby being fidgety. It wasn't long until we reached the end of the street, but Watari wasn't here yet. My Mummy decided to sit down on a bench with me while my Uncle called Watari again, but it wasn't long until the orange man caught up with us again.
I watched has he walked into the road, I gasped a few times and covered up my eyes when cars drove through him. My Mummy asked if I was okay while she put her arm around me, I told her that the cars scared me sometimes when they drove by us which she thought was silly. I rested my head against her side and sucked at my finger tip while I watched the orange man standing in the middle of the busy road, it's a good job he's paranormal being now or he would get run over by the cars I thought to myself has I snuggled up close to my Mummy.
It was now March and I really liked living in Japan, it was a fun place to go for walks. But I still spent most of the days in our apartment with my Mummy, we sometimes got visits from Auntie Nonie and one of the Japanese policemen named Matsuda though. He told me that he had met my Uncle when he was a student at a college where he was studying on a criminal justice studies program, he also mentioned to me that he was a few years older than Akira.
I had also met the other Japanese Task Force members when my Uncle A took me for a tour of the building with my Mummy, they seemed nice too. But today I would be spending the day in the apartment again with my Mummy, it was also raining outside so I couldn't really see much from the window in our apartment which I enjoyed looking out of when I got bored.
I sighed to myself has I walked out of my bedroom, I had been playing with a few of my toys for the last hour with the orange man. He sometimes scares me so I put my bracelet back on which makes him go away, but I did like seeing him sometimes and he was fun to talk to at bedtime. I closed my bedroom's door behind me and called for my Mummy, I then heard her telling me she was in living room.
I made my way to the living room area and saw her ironing some of my clothes, she was busy today with the housekeeping of our apartment. She looked up at me from her iron and gave me a smile, she then told me I could watch some television if I pleased. But I told her no with a sigh, what I really wanted to do was go outside or play in the corridor outside of our apartment which I sometimes did with my Uncle A.
" Mummy, can I play outside please?" I asked.
" Not today sweetie, it's raining..." She replied while she placed her iron down on it's holder and then picked my dress up from the ironing board. " You can help me if you like with the housekeeping or draw a lovely picture for Akira for when he get's home, it's up to you..."
" But that's boring, I want to play!" I sighed.
" I'm sorry baby, but I've got a lot of laundry to get through this morning..." She said.
" Can I play in the corridor then please?" I asked.
" I don't know, I worry when you're not in my sight..." She replied has she folded up my dress and placed it down in her straw laundry basket. " Would you keep away from the stairs if I allowed you to play in the corridor?"
" Yes, I always stay away from the stairs in case I get a boo-boo..." I replied.
" Fine then, but you've got to keep the apartment's door open at all times and peep your head around the door every few moments so I know you're okay..." She said with sigh. " But just stay in the corridor outside of our apartment, it's important that you stay on this floor..."
" Okay Mummy, I promise..." I smiled.
" Good girl, I will call you when lunch is ready..." She said.
I hurried over to the sofa and took my shoes from underneath it, I always kept my shoes there because it was a safe place for me to keep them. I put my shoes on and kissed my orange man doll goodbye, I was going to leave him on the sofa in case I lost him in the corridor. I gave my Mummy a wave before I hurried over to the apartment's door, I then stood on my plastic chair and pressed the button on the wall to open the door.
I jumped down from my chair and left the apartment when the electronic door slide open, but I didn't press the button to close the door behind me in the corridor though. I heard my Mummy telling me not to run down the corridor from the inside of the apartment, I told her okay and walked along the corridor while I let my finger tips run along the wall of the corridor.
The corridor was like the other corridors in the building, they were white and plain. But in our corridor they had giant windows near the staircases which I loved looking out of when it was sunny, the views from the them were pretty. I could see the entrance to the building from our floor and I sometimes watched the policemen leaving the building at the end of the day, I even once saw Watari sitting in one of the other rooms on the other side of the building from the staircase which led to the sixteenth floor.
I stopped at the staircase near the window and rested my hands on the glass of the window, today was cloudy with little rays of sunlight reflecting off the window's of the building. I watched some birds flying around in the sky and I saw a few cars driving along the road, but then I saw my Auntie Nonie returning back to the building with my Uncle A. They were walking along the pathway that led to the entrance of the building, but there was a man with them that I didn't recognize.
I stared at the man walking along the pathway with them, he had light brown hair and wore a school uniform just like my Auntie Nonie did when she played James Bond at the To-Oh University. But there was something odd floating behind this other man with them, it was a funny looking creature. It was dressed in black and had black wings, it looked a bit like clown monsters from where I was standing. I pressed one of my finger tip against the glass and tried to crush it with the tip of my finger, but it wouldn't go away.
" What are you doing following my Auntie Nonie and Uncle Akira?" I whispered to myself while I pressed my face up against the window and stared at the clown monster with a slight frown on my face. " You can not come in here clown monster, I don't like you..."
I watched them stop at the entrance of the building, my Auntie Nonie then accessed the door of the entrance with her finger print and the eye scan. The door opened and they walked inside, but not the clown monster though. It decided to flap it's black wings and shoot up into the sky, I couldn't help but gasp at the sight of it.
The clown monster then stopped in mid air and dived towards one of the other windows of the building, it then disappeared through the window without breaking it. I pulled my face away from the window and looked back a long the corridor when I heard my Mummy call my name. She was telling me that lunch would be ready soon, I yelled back to her telling her that I had just seen a clown monster outside of the building.
" It was big Mummy, it was following Auntie Nonie and Uncle Akira!" I yelled while I turned my gaze back towards the window. " I don't like it, I want it to go away! Please come and look, tell Uncle Akira to tell the policemen!"
" Okay sweetie, give me one moment!" She called.
I stared out of the window while I listened to some footsteps walking along the corridor, it wasn't long until my Mummy sat down on the staircase near me. She took a look through the window and pointed at some birds flying near the building, she told me that she could only see birds. I told her that the clown monster flew through one of the windows without breaking the glass of the window, but she softly laughed at me and told me I must be seeing things.
" But I saw it, don't you believe me?" I asked has I turned my full attention to her. " Please Mummy, I don't lie about it..."
" I don't know sweetie, I can't see any clown monsters..." She replied while she tucked some of my hair behind my ear with a smile. " You must have you sleepy eyes on still or it's the sunlight reflecting on the window that made a bird look bigger, you must be daydreaming again..."
" But I saw a clown monster, no daydreams today!" I pouted.
" Okay sweetie, let's not get pouty all over this clown monster business..." She smiled while she got up from the step on staircase and rested her hand on her baby bump. " We better go and check on our lunch, I've got some rice on slow cook on the stove to serve with the chicken I cooked yesterday..."
" Okay..." I sighed.
" We will speak about this after lunch if it's bothering you that much and eat some coconut ice cream to forget about this little daydream you just had, we can do something nice together like reading or watering the plants in the apartment if it makes you feel better..." She said has she took hold of my hand and began to led me down the corridor. " I will also have a little word with Akira, he better not have been telling you scary bedtime stories again..."
" Uncle Akira just tells me ice cream panda detective stories now, they're delicious..." I said.
" That's good, but kind of confusing at the same time..." She smiled.
I looked up at my Mummy and laughed when she told me that she would like to hear this story over lunch, I told her I would tell her after lunch. We walked along the corridor together in silence, but it wasn't long until I heard strange laughter echoing throughout the building. I asked my Mummy if she just heard the laugh has we entered our apartment, but she told me it must have been the radio she had left on in the kitchen. I told her okay has she let go of my hand and walked over to the kitchen area, it must be the clown monster I thought to myself has I quickly followed after her.
