Chapter 2
Being unable to sleep in a bed our car was all we could do, we got some clothes that we could wear when needed. Some food since I don't eat much anymore...
It was now the last day of school, why she arrive two days before the end I wonder? Anyway, I got myself dressed into my uniform again and got out of the car, "I better get going Haou..." I frowned.
Haou nodded, "See you bro." I closed the car door and walked down the path to the front gate. I saw Cherry-Violet chatting along with her siblings, wait how old were they? Jamie-Ashley was two years older than Cherry-Violet I think...that makes him about 19. Hikari is one year younger than Haou makes her 21. Then ....oh wait they just give her company...
The redhead girl looked over her shoulder and saw me and smiled, that smile of hers could lift my spirits any day. "Jay-Jay, so we have a short day today?" I nodded not really wanting to talk, still feeling a little down that Haou was fired and we lost our house... I sighed. The girl looked at me concerned, Jamie-Ashley and Hikari said goodbye to their little sis and walked off to what I saw was a limo. What was she rich? "Jaden, is everything okay?" she paused as the bell rang, I went to go to class but she grabbed my arm stopping me, "Jaden Yuki, talk to me."
"How can I? You've gone for 14 years and think that just because you come back makes everything okay?" I demanded. Why am I yelling at her? It isn't her fault.
But she smiled and understood. "C'mon, let me treat you to some fried shrimp."
I shook my head, "Okay..." I wasn't sure, but knowing her she may get everything outta me...
She took a sip of her coffee and smiled, "So, you going to tell me why you look so down? You're always so cheerful and you don't care that I left and came back, because I'm still friends with you and I am here now."
I sighed not really wanting to tell her...but... "Okay, but do not shout any pity on either me or Haou." She nodded sipping her coffee again. I waited for my food but then started on explain to her what's wrong.
Once I got up to where I found out we haven't got anywhere to live I snapped tears began pouring from my eyes. "I'm sorry..." I whispered.
I was about to get up but she stopped me again and pulled me to sit next to her on the cushion like seat. "Jaden, you know I want to help you...but if I know you right, asking for you to live with us and to use our money will fail, so how about Haou works for me?"
I looked up to her and smiled, "Thank you, I think Haou might be happy with that."
"But, on one condition,"
I blinked that's new, "What?"
"You both live with me, Jam-Ash and Hikari."
"Wait, what?" I widened my eyes. I mean sure we used to have sleepovers when we were kids but...uhm this will be awkward since we are both teens...
I don't think she understand why I was kinda getting a little nervous about that situation, "Uhm sorry, but no, I will decline that."
She blinked a few times then puffed out her cheeks in her attempt? at a pout I think. "Why not?"
She then glanced over to a waitress that works in this café whom was standing there with a silver platter in her arms; I swear this place is a fancy rich restaurant. "May I get you anything more? Miss Harmony?"
She sighed, he gave the girl a few paper notes, wait, a few? That isn't just a few that's like over 200 dollars (not good with yen _) for just a cup of coffee and maybe some Fried Shrimp, like huh? "Here, keep the change."
The waitress glanced over to her manager I think with a bright smile, I then stared at Cherry-Violet in confusion, "Chez-Vi, just who in the world are you?"
"You know full well who I am, I am just a little different, like older." She smiled.
I shook my head, "I don't believe you..."
She frowned at me, "Jay-Jay... shall I do something different?" I looked up to her in curiosity, "Haou work for Jamie-Ashley in his photography shoots. And you." I blinked when she made the word 'you' sound more like in bold if it was writing. "If you won't live with us, you shall be my personal slave."
I widened my eyes; did I get a double meaning for that? I gulped, "Uhm, Chez-Vi..." I am rather unsure to be able to reply to that...
She looked at me in concern, "I only mean that as a job so you're able to live with me and still get paid by me but not freeloading since you'll be working for me especially."
I shook my head, "Sorry, I can't...Haou wouldn't approve..." I looked away.
Cherry-Violet sighed, "Okay, let's go to class then, we'll talk about it after school time." She then got up to her seat and sighed, "But no matter what the offer is still open, you are my best friend still Jay-Jay, I never pity something slash one so strong... you're just beginning to concern me.." I looked to my hands that were in my lap, I shifted in my seat, then I looked at my thigh when I felt a warm weight upon it, I looked up into her lime-green eyes that were showing with uncertainty, "If I lose you again, I won't be able to forgive myself...please...talk about it with him..."
I felt a tight tug on my chest so I gripped onto my uniform shirt tightly where my heart was, "Please, don't be sad, I'm not going anywhere." I then looked at her with a grin, "Let's go, Crowler's class is now and he's gonna screech at me being late!"
Cherry-Violet smiled sweetly, "Okay, c'mon," she then got a grab of my hand and pulled me from my chair and we began running out of the café.
"Jaden Yuki! You're late!" Dr. Crowler screeched, yup, you guessed it he's our maths teacher.
I scratched the back of my head, "Sorry, teach."
Then I was pushed out of the way slightly so Cherry-Violet could get through and into the classroom too, "Excuse me, I am terribly sorry, but I got lost and ran into Yuki here, I hope you didn't mind him showing me fully around the school to find where my classes are."
"Oh, then that's alright then." I heard him mumble under his breath, I laughed mentally, he SO wanted to give me a detention. Go! Cherry-Violet!
I grinned, we then walked over to two spare seats near Alexis and Chazz, those two sat next to each other so me and Chez-Vi sat next to each other. But then I heard Cherry-Violet whispered to me as she walked pass to her seat, "You totally owe me."
I pouted but then started trying to pay attention to teach.
"Wake up Jaden!"
My eyes fluttered open to meet with grey eyes, I see it was Syrus, wow, slept through last period too? Did I sleep that uncomfortably? Shaking that though off, "What's up bud?"
"I wanna know if you like to come with me and Zane for dinner tonight?"
I blinked, "Why though? And can my bro come?"
"Of course Haou can come!" Syrus smiled, "And why? Because I want you too."
I smiled faintly, "O-Okay, I'll meet you at your house at seven?"
"And please don't wear your uniform like last time." He gave me a unimpressed look, "Okay?"
I nodded as he skipped away, but then I noticed that I should be getting back to Haou...but Cherry-Violet will find me...with a sigh I get to my feet grabbing my pack I then started exiting the classroom and out the gates since last period was the first classroom on the first floor.
I began walking up to where I know Haou's car would be waiting for me, but I saw Cherry-Violet leaning in from the window talking to my brother. I got closer and was greeted by her when she removed herself from the window, "Haou, I know you need the cash, I am trying to get you into working for me, you have potential in being good at photography."
"How would you know? You never seen a photo I've taken in my life." Haou humphed.
She giggled, "Oh Haou, remember you loved taking photos of us, I still have those pictures, those were the only thing I kept from we were young besides this," she then reached into her pocket and pulled out a Duel Monsters card, wait, I looked at the art on that card, "That's Lyella, the monster me and Jaden went to get on THAT night, he got Yubel I got Yubel's twin sister Lyella."
This is the Cherry-Violet I knew... I smiled, she'd never forgot at all...
"I'll think about it." Haou growled.
"Okay, good, you better accept, because, you're letting a good opportunity go." She then smiled and waved, "See ya later," she smirked, is she going to use that name? Oh god... "Dark Puppy."
Haou growled, "Cherry-Violet Harmony! SAY THAT NAME ONE MORE TIME AND I WON'T ACCEPT!"
She stuck her tongue out, "You will or I'll make you!" she then ran over to a limo again, man, is she that famous?
Haou groaned as I got into the car, "You told her didn't you?"
"She bought me fried shrimp and kinda got it out of me." I shifted in my seat.
Haou closed the book he was reading. And sighed, "Okay, I have one question though." I looked over to my brother with a curious expression, "Do you still like her like you did back then?"
I felt my face get warm, I'm not sure really, do I? Nah, just friends, "No, not anymore that was nothing more than a naive crush."
Haou nodded, "Anyway how was school?"
"Syrus invited us for dinner. Meeting him at his place at 7:00 tonight, you're invited too."
I saw his face twist up with a mixtures of expressions, maybe he disapproved on going... "Fine, we have at least one pair of clean clothes left." he smiled then turned as he then turned the engine on.
I grinned, "SWEET!"
Maybe life won't be so bad having the friends like I have...
Haou locked the car after we had gotten dressed, "Okay, so Syrus correct?" I nodded, "Let's go then."
Haou was wearing a no-sleeved black turtleneck, a pair of ankle-length black leather pants tucked into a pair of calve-high white boots. As I was wearing a black bicep-length-sleeved round necked t-shirt with a red no-sleeved zip-up hoodie ankle-length dark-grey pants and ankle-high black boots, "Right then." We both then started walking into the direction of Syrus' house was.
"Wow! That was actually better than I thought it would be!" I cried as we walked up the path back to where Haou's car was.
Haou smirked, "Never knew the great Kaiser, would be liking a girl that easily, Savannah her name?"
I grinned, "That's Blair's cousin!"
"That Blair girl that's in love with you?"
"Huh?" I looked at him confused we stop walking and I saw the expression on Haou's face, it was shock, I then looked to the same place he was looking, I then too looked in the spot in shock, the car was gone! Everything else with it! "H-Haou..."
He shook his head, "Jaden, I really don't know..." he then sat down propped up against the wall and looked up to the sky, "Maybe staying the night at Syrus' might've been good..."
I sat down next to him and wrapped my arms around him, "It'll be alright bro..." I then closed my eyes and laid my head on his shoulder, as he laid his head on my head both of us falling asleep.
Me: Like awww, this was more worse then I brought into o.O
Haou: glares at me
Me: throws a pillow Do not own anything but Cherry-Violet, Jamie-Ashley and Hikari and my dreams ^^
Jaden: pouts you made us poor...
Me: Here's a sneak peek of the next chapter!
I stared at the outfit she had just handed me, "WHAT!"
She stared down at me with a grin, "You're my slave, so you dress in what I want you to dress in, now strip!"
I paled, strip in front of her? And wear this? It was a black French maid's outfit with white lace trim on the puffy sleeves and the hem of it, a cream apron came with it as well as a pair of white thigh-high socks. But what shocked me the most was the white pair of frilly panties, "NO WAY IN HELL!"
"Rather a bunny suit?"
Man doesn't she know this is embarrassment to my pride? Probably not, knowing her. "FINE!" I then quickly changed, yes in front of her with a dark blush on my cheeks, "What now?"
I noticed she was smirking at me while examining the outfit, "Okay, Kitchen, cook now!"
She then grabbed my hand and dragged me to her kitchen that's downstairs. Someone call the fire department, I'm going to set this place in flames.
Me: Tah-tah for now! ^^
