"Rei" Mamoru whispered as he entered his sister's room quietly walking over to her bed and sitting on the floor beside her
"I don't know if your awake or asleep but I'm sorry" he whispered "I'm so sorry Rei…I just love you so much" he said taking in a deep breath as tears formed in his eyes "you have such a bright future Rei…when I found out that you…that you didn't…it's just made me so angry….We've been so close Rei…since we were kids…your more than my sister you're my best friend and I just want to see you happy…I want to see you with someone that believes the sun raises and fall with you…I still look at you as that little 5 year old girl who always scrapped her knees…that little girl I protected from the boogie man…I jus-"
"I love you too" Rei whispered "I'm really sorry I…I let you down…it's the last thing I would ever want to do…" she cried as Mamoru pulled her into his embrace
The two fell asleep, Mamoru held his little sister protectively. Just like he did when they were kids, but this time the fear was something greater than the boogie man…the fear was a possible child.
Military Life
Chapter 17
It had been weeks since the incident between Rei, Jed and Mamoru.
Rei avoided Jed at all cost, as Mamoru only continued to glare at the teen during practice or in the halls. He had kept a protective eye on his sister, which Rei gladly accepted. It was as if the siblings had become one person, never leaving either's side.
Motoki started hanging out with the new employee at the crown, Rika.
Minako and Kunzite started to spend more time together, Mina, who was never afraid to show off skin was now dressing more on a conservative manner. Everyone knew it was due to Kunzites influence.
Ami and Zoi were even seen together on more than one occasion. Zoi still had his moments of paranoia as Ami just rolled her eyes and chastised him on his "mental instability"
Makoto and Nephrite started having normal conversations, well that is until he would mess the peaceful conversations with one of his very immature pick up lines. This in turn would end in Makoto back handing the brunette teen across the face and storming off.
As Relationships were blossoming within the little world of--what we all know as High school--other couples were coming to an end.
Ken received word of his sister, Michiru, new job as violinist to Italy's Andrea Bocelli. His mother decided it was best that they move with his famous sister to support her in her new and wonderful career.
Seiya was heartbroken. Of course Usagi was there to help him heal through the pain.
Haruka occasionally stopped by Usagi's home to visit and threaten Mamoru. But for the most part, kept her distance.
Now I know that you are all asking about your favorite couple, Mamoru and Usagi. Well in the past two weeks they hadn't seen much of each other. Due to Mamoru's concern toward his sister and Usagi's continuing practice sessions with Seiya, the times that they did share was not wasted. After the incident between Jed and Rei, Usagi and Mamoru found it best to hold off on their sexual needs. They spent their time on various dates and conversation.
---------------
Late Thursday night Usagi sat in her room reading though a letter from her father. Once done the blond sighs as she folds the paper and places it into a box, which held many of his letters.
Usagi turned to her bedroom door as she hears her Cousin run up the stairs yelling her name
"Hey Mimi" Usagi said with a giggle "you know you really don't need to yell"
Minako shrugged "I know, but it's fun" she said with a smile "so have you gotten our costumes yet?" she asked jumping up and down as Usagi gave her a sly smile "YOU DID!" she yelled excitedly
"Maybe" Usagi said standing up, but was pulled down to the bed by her over enthusiastic cousin
"Where are they?!" she insisted shaking Usagi by the shoulders
"Where are what?" Makoto asked as she entered the room
"Our costumes" Minako smiled
"You got them?" Ami asked as she entered the room
"Where are they?" Makoto asked just as energized as Minako
"Oh god, please tell me you didn't pick out anything redundant like Sailor scout costumes?" The girls turned around to see Rei standing in the door way "what?" she asked as the girls looked to her with concern
"Rei" Usagi whispered "how are you?" she asked as her raven haired friend shrugged and walked into the room
"Yea…I mean we haven't seen much of you lately..." Makoto added
"And whenever we do see you Mamoru is stuck beside you like a bodyguard" Ami said her voice held her unease
"Where is your life guard anyway?" Minako asked looking around
"Out" Rei said taking a seat on the floor "he wouldn't tell me where though"
"How are you feeling?" Usagi asked again
"Fine" Rei said looking around "so what torture are you placing on us this year Usagi?"
"well" Usagi said taking the hint to change the subject, she walked over to her closet pulling out a stack of five boxes "Renato hand made these himself" she said handing each box to each of the girls
"Ooo-ooo do I see designer boxes?"
"Hey Seiya" the girls smiled as the flamboyant teen walked over to Usagi and sat awaiting his gift
After handing each one out she turned to him with a smile "and for you" she said pulling a smaller box from under her bed "Okay everyone open up"
"Holy shit!" Makoto smiled
"No way" Ami whispered
"Oh my god!" Rei cheered hugging her costume
"I can't believe this is hap-happening!" Minako said as she begun to hyperventilate, luckily Seiya was right beside her handing the over excited blond a paper bag
"Breath…this is what happens when you ignore fashion for an undefined amount of time" Seiya said as he turned to his box "Oh my holy Prada!"
"You like?" Usagi asked as she watched her friends hug their costumes "I take this as a yes"
The only girl who looked unsure was Ami.
"Marilyn Monroe?" she asked confused as she held the silk white dress in her hands "but wasn't she a blond? And besides wouldn't I be better as Maria Mayer or Rachel Carson or how about Jane Goodall…I mean anything but this…"
The group of girls looked at their bluenette friend strangely
"Oh come on guys, you know Maria Mayer"
There was no answer
"She was a German born physicist who later relocated to the United States. She is famous for her work on the shell structure of the atom and determined the shell configuration for where the electrons are placed…Her model is the one most teachers use within the classroom to explain the composition of the atom. She also assisted on the atomic bomb project, and received a Nobel Prize for her contribution in the separation of the isotopes of uranium."
Silence
"Rachel Carson?"
Nothing
"Carson was an important environmentalist who was largely responsible for making society aware of the effects of DDT on crops and consequently on water systems. She was named to the Ecology Hall of Fame and to the Top Twenty Most Influential Scientists and Thinkers for the Twentieth Century."
She growled in frustration
"Jane Goodall?!"
Nothing
"inventor of the Blissymbol Printer, a device that allows non-speaking people, like those afflicted with severe physical disabilities like cerebral palsy, to communicate…"
"A-ami…just take the custom Renato Balestra made for you" Rei said
As Minako elbowed Makoto "Oh…wow...Did I just fall asleep?" she asked looking around
Rei continued "you know the Italian fashion designer. However, he first started studying civil engineering. He got into fashion thanks to a bet made with his friends. Without him knowing, his design went to Milan where it received praises from important figures in the fashion world at that time."
"I should have known you would have remembered historical facts on a man who creates clothing; than a woman who changed the lives of many" Ami grumbled
"Hey Renato has chanced may lives with his fashions thank you" Minako said as a matter of factly.
"But I'm not blond! Why doesn't Usa or Minako take this costume?" the Bluenette whined
"Well you obviously didn't look throughout the box" Usagi said bending over and pulling out a smaller box "it's a blond Marilyn wig, imported from Eastern Europe."
"…I don't know…" Ami said grabbing the hair gently from the box "it feels nice…but do I have to wear such a reviling dress?..." she asked looking at the very low neck line of the classic white Marilyn Monroe dress.
"Yes, now whose next?" Usagi said turning to a smiling Makoto
"Katharine Hepburn" Makoto said smiling as she held on to her costume. "From the 1949 Movie Adam's Rib, Man I love that movie"
"So perfect" Minako said as she pulled out her costume "my turn" she said grinning "Mia Farrow?"
Usagi laughed at their confused faces "she played in the Great Gaspy as Daisy Buchanan, 1974" Usagi said smiling at Minako "It's a very conservative costume…Kunzite will be happy"
Minako smiled appreciative at her cousin "Thank you" Minako said holding the costume to her chest "I love it" it was a white flapper dress with a set of real pearls and head dress.
"Well I guess it's my turn" Rei said pulling out her costume "Audrey Hepburn" she said smiling "the costume is what she wore on the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's"! Oh my god I love Audrey Hepburn!"
"I know that's why I picked it" Usagi said smiling as Rei jumped up hugging her friend
"Thank you thank you!" she said as she sat down
"well then, now that you will all look fab, it's my turn" Seiya said taking his box and pulling his costume out "you are a goddess from heaven" he said turning to Usagi smiling "I could never love you more then I love you at this very moment"
"I knew you would love it" she said smiling "Majesty" she said doing her best English impression "I spoke with a friend who knew a friend who had an associate who knew a girl who was friends with a guy who dated the assistant of Jonathan and well the rest is history"
"You are so well connected" Seiya said holding his costume and smelling it "oh my god, I'm going to wear the same costume that Jonathan Rhys Meyers wore on the set of the Tudors….this is the happiest moment of my life" he said as a tear ran down his cheek
"Wait, but what about you Usa?" Minako asked looking at her cousin strangely
"Oh, well Mamoru said he was handling our costumes" she said with a shrug
"Wait" Rei said standing up "you let my brother, my fashion inept brother choose your costume?" she asked shocked
"Usagi this is the final dance of the school year…well the final one before prom" Ami said staring at her blond friend
"Guys its okay" Usagi said laughing "I'm sure that whatever he picks out will be perfect, and besides he's not as fashion inept as you may think"
"What if you end up with a cheap ticked discount Kmart special?" Minako yelled
"Usa this doesn't feel right, I mean you spend all this money to get us these amazing costumes…and you might be stuck with crap" Makoto said looking guilty
"Oh my god guys, seriously it will be okay" Usagi assured her friends "I trust him" she said smiling
"Well if you trust him then so be it" Seiya said holding his costume
"Awe Seiya, that's sweet thank you" Usagi said hugging her friend
"I mean at less we'll look good" he said as Usagi glared at him.
The next day everyone from the night before including Mamoru meet at the schools court yard
Usagi wearing a olive Belted Faux Fur Vest with a grey Scoop Neck Top, black leggings and a pair of black lace up boots and a Spiral Crochet Beret atop her wavy blond hair turned to see Jed staring at Rei from behind a tree.
"Rei" Usagi said turning to her tempered friend "don't you think it's time you talk to him"
"Talk to whom?" she asked looking confused
"You know who"
Rei stayed quiet as she looked down at her cup of tea
"This isn't going to go away…just talk to him…he has to be just as scared as you are"
"I can't" she whispered, while the others were in their own conversations
"Why not?"
"I just can't" Rei said shaking her head
"Rei you can't keep running away…"
"He said he loves me" She said looking up with tears in her eyes
Usagi looked shocked at first then a small smile graced her pink lips
"What?" Rei said feeling aggravated
"Nothing" Motoki owes me 20 bucks she thought
"I can't talk to him Usa" Rei said stirring the cooling beverage
"How do you feel?" Usagi asked placing a hand on hers to stop the nervous steering
"I-I honestly don't know" she said with a breath "I'm…"
"Scared" Usagi said with a knowing look as Rei nodded "I understand Rei, honestly…how do you feel after two weeks of having no contact with him?" she asked as Rei looked to the ground "have you thought about him?"
"Of course I have…I miss his stupid weirdness…his consent need to smell everything…our stupid arguing over nothing…I-I miss him…" she whispered
"Then go to him"
"He's not going talk to me Usa…not after all that's happened"
"I think you might be wrong Rei"
"Oh and how would you know this?" Rei said with attitude
"Because he's standing behind the tree over there, he's been watching you all morning" Usagi said with a smile as Rei looked over the blonds shoulder, sure enough there was Jed trying his best to hide.
"Go" Usagi said pushing her friend; she smiled as she watched the raven haired teen walk over to the now panicking Jed.
"Where's she going?" Mamoru asked as he walked over and wrapped his around his girlfriends waste
"Confronting her demons" Usagi said smiling at Rei's retreating form
"Confronting what?" Mamoru asked confused, Usagi felt him tense up when Jed came out from behind the tree rubbing the back of his neck fearfully
"Calm down, they need to talk" Usagi whispered Mamoru growled as Usagi slapped his arms "don't start" she warned as he remained quiet "and besides, you own me"
"For what?" he asked surprised
"You haven't spent any time with me for the past 2 weeks!" she pouted as he kissed her pouting lips, Usagi let out a giggle "that's better, now come on lover boy walk me to class"
"As you wish majesty" he chastised as he picked up her books with his left hand and pulled her close to him with his right.
JED AND REI
"H-Hi…" Jed laughed nervously as he looked around "s-sorry for um…"
"Stalking me?" Rei said crossing her arms
"I wasn't stalking you" Jed said quickly "I was…um…just enjoying the view…doing some…scientific experiment…yea!"
"Really and what was this so called experiment?"
"Um…" shit where's Zoi when you need him? Jed thought as he frantically looked around
Rei laughed "you're so full of it!"
"Fine, I was watching you happy?" Rei nodded "Look Rei, I don't wanna fight …After the other night…after what happened…I understand…I get it"
Rei looked at him confused
"It was a one night stand, no strings attached, it was my stupid fault for confessing my feelings for you…for telling you-"
"I love you"
"Yea that" Jed said closing his eyes "I'm sorry I'll never bother you again okay? I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry Rei" he began to walk away when Rei called his name
"Jed wait!" she yelled laughing as he stopped not bothering to turn around
"This isn't funny Rei" he mumbled
"I love you" she said louder
"I get it!" he yelled turning around "you don't need to….you what?" he started to yell but then realized she wasn't mocking him, in fact she was telling him how she felt.
"I love you" Rei walked up to him smiling "I'm in love with you, I love your corny jokes, your messy curly sue blond hair, I love your weird since of smell…I love you" she looked to the ground then back up as her violet eyes started to sparkle with tears. "I'm sorry…The other night was the most amazing night of my life…I was just scared…scared of what it meant…of what it means…of what might happen…" she shook her head causing the tears to run freely "I don't care anymore…I love you Jadeite…please forgive me"
Jed said nothing, his next action happened within a blink of an eye as he pulled the raven hair goddess into his arms and kissed her with so much love and devotion.
Pulling away Jed looked into Rei's eyes "um…do you think you could talk to Mamoru for me…I really don't feel like getting punch in the eye again…" he asked nervously
Rei nodded giggling as the two embraced
MATH
Usagi sat staring at the graded paper in front of her "shit" she hissed as Ami turned to her friend "I knew this class was bad for me"
"Um…it's not bad Usagi" Ami said trying to ease the pain but it only caused the blond to glare at the blue teen
"Not bad? Ami I got a zero, how is that 'not bad'?"
"Well…um…you could look at it as a learning tool" The bluenette pulled the paper and started to mark it with notes "see here, what you should have done is multiple its recipient and then divided it by its corresponding item in turn switching both correspondences so that they were seen on contradictory sides…"
Yea did any of you get that? Because I did not
Usagi sat allowing the genius that was Ami Mizuno, to finish marking and explaining Usagi's lack of knowledge on the subject-Math. The teen was completely drawn into her notes and explanation, that she did not notice her blond friend had fallen asleep.
CREATIVE WRITING
Mamoru and Usagi laughed as they walked into the classroom. Hearing their laughter the instructor looked up smiling at the two.
"Ah, Tsukino-san, it's a pleasure to see you again" Kakeru said with a smile as Usagi smiled back
"Kakeru-sensei I would like you to meet my boyfriend Mamoru Chiba, Mamoru this is our new teacher Kakeru-sensei…I thought you were suppose to start the day after we meet?"
"I had some important issues to attend too" he answered with a smile "but I'm here now" he said looking to Mamoru
"Well we're going to find our seats" Usagi said smiling, Mamoru nodded as he and Usagi took their seats. After a few moments class began
"Hello Class, as you can see your old teacher will no longer be with you…my name is Mr. Kakeru Tsuki, and I'll be your instructor for the rest of the year." The girls smiled as they laid eyes on the handsome young instructor "now in order to get to know each other better, how about I open the floor from some questions, you can ask me anything you like as long as they are not to unpleasant" he said with a laugh
So then it started
"Do you have a girlfriend?" "Do you want a girlfriend?" "What's your type?" "Do you date younger girls?" (Answers: No, Not at the moment, not sure, no)
After a while Kakeru placed his hands up with a laugh "Okay, okay…I think we figured out my love life, how about some new questions"
"How old are you?" one of the male students asked
"24" he answered with a smile
"Any siblings?" it was Usagi who asked
"Yes" he said sadly "one…" he looked away
"Is she hot?" another male asked
Kakeru narrowed his eyes "next question"
"Aren't you kinda young to be an instructor? I mean what did you do to get this job? Blow a couple of superintendants?" the trouble maker of the class spoke up
"That's kinda rude don't you think?" Usagi asked the male teen
"What? It's just a question" he said
"Yea well it's not a very respectable question now is it?" she hissed "besides just because your future doesn't look very promising doesn't mean you belittle those who actually worked to get where they are!"
"Usako calm down" Mamoru whispered
"Mamoru is right Usagi, it's alright. But thank you" he said to her with an appreciative smile
LUNCH
"It's just so weird…I just feel as if there's some kinda connection…" Usagi said with a shrug "like there's something about him I should know…Even his eyes, they look so familiar…like I've seen them somewhere before"
"Weird, maybe your soul mates" Minako said taking a bit of her squid as Usagi cringed
"Still unable to consume fish ne Usagi?" Ami asked as she took a sip of her soup
Usagi shook her head "for some reason that just seems wrong Mimi"
"Maybe he's your long lost sibling" Rei said going back to the topic at hand
"Who might be siblings?" Seiya asked taking a seat next to Usagi
"What?" Usagi said laughing as she ignored his question "I highly doubt that"
"We're coming up with theories on why Usagi feels such a connection with her new instructor" Makoto whispered to a confused Seiya "Minako thinks their soul mates and Rei believes he could be her long lost brother"
"What new English teacher?" he asked turning to Usagi, who was still laughing
"Tsuki-sensei, but we call him Kakeru-sensei" she said, but her smile fell fast as Seiya's face paled "are you okay?" she asked as the group looked to their friend
"You look like you're about to be sick" Minako pointed out as she placed an extra piece of toast on kunzites plate
"What did you say his name was?" Seiya asked wide eyed
"Kakeru" Mamoru spoke up "and soul mate, really Minako? You do know I'm sitting right her" the raven haired teen laughed
Without another word Seiya stood up and left
"What was that all about?" Ami asked watching as seiya exited the busy cafeteria
"I'm telling you, Kakeru is your long lost sibling and Seiya knows about it" she said smiling "he probably went off to yell at him, telling him he needs to leave and never return" she said taking a bite of her fry
"You really have such an imagination Rei" Mamoru said laughing "this isn't General hospital you know"
"but if it was, man that would be an interesting plot line" Rei said smiling, but what the raven haired teen and those around her failed to realize is that she was actually correct in her assumptions.
"Usagi aren't you going to run after him?" Jed asked as he placed an arm around Rei
"No" she said shaking her head "if he needs me he'll call"
"You two are like Batman and Robin" Motoki said with a chuckle
"More like Batgirl and Robin" Usagi corrected
Child development
"Have you seen Seiya?" Usagi asked as she took her seat
"No, not since he raced out of the cafeteria"
"Ladies" the instructor warned
"Sorry" the two blonds said
"Okay class today we are going to watch a video on the joys of childbirth"
"Ooo-ooo we get to see a baby being born, how exciting" Minako squealed
"Um…Minako it's not as exciting as you may think it is…" Usagi tried to warn but her blond friend only waved her away.
After class
"That was the most disgusting video I have ever seen" Minako sat almost catatonic "I never want children" she whispered
"I warned you to turn away, but did you listen, noooo" Usagi said taking a sip of her sprite
"Just remember guys, when Rei comes in don't discuss it" Ami warned as she turned to the sliding doors
Rei, Jed and Mamoru walked in smiling at the group
"Hey guys, now that we're all here is everyone ready for the dance tomorrow night?" Makoto asked excitedly.
"Yea, but what's wrong with Mina?" Rei asked as he waved her hand in front of the catatonic teen
Usagi only waved her away "she'll be fine"
"I still don't get it, why a costume party? Halloween isn't for another, what…5-6 months?" Nephrite asked looking confused
"I know why!" Zoi said looking around holding on to his book bag for dear life
"Here we go again" ami mumbled as she glared at the teen next to her
"They want to trick us! It's the government trying to pry open our minds and see what our imaginations can bring…something else they can try and take from us!" he said with paranoid eyes
"God lord Zoi, That doesn't even make since!" Ami yelled
"Shut up! You just wait till tomorrow and then you'll see! At less I'll be prepared!" standing up the unreasonable teen ran out the arcade
"I better fallow him…" Ami said pulling out a tape recorder "subject seems to have developed strong fears against the government, new accusations on the government taking imaginations from today's youth"
"Ami…you're not still doing that case studies on him are you?" Usagi asked looking at her friend curiously "you know I was only joking…"
"Actually I sent in my data on his thought process a few weeks ago to a university in Germany, the head professor found it fascinating and said that I should continue with my study, she actually said that I could be the next Gordon Allport! Isn't that amazing?!"
They stayed quiet
Ami let out an irritated sigh "Gordon Allport's is a psychologist that's theory is one of the first humanistic theories, that has influence many other psychologists including Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers."
Still silence
"Abraham Maslow one of the founders of humanistic psychology and is often best recognized for developing the theory of human motivation now known as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Carl Rogers was instrumental in the development of non-directive psychotherapy, which he initially termed Client-centered therapy and he is known as the father of client-centered therapy"
"Um…" was all that was heard as Ami growled and glared at her friends
"I need to find smarter friends" she mumbled as she stormed out of the arcade
"Bye Ami! Good luck with the taping study thing!" Usagi screamed as she waved good bye to her angered blue haired friend
"Wow she's smart" Nephrite said "I still don't get what she said or who those people are but wow…it sounded smart"
"Hey guys" Motoki said walking up with a red head
"Hey Motoki, Rika" Makoto smiled "come sit"
"Guys this is Rika, Rika this…well everyone" Motoki said pulling a seat out for her "Usagi, Mamoru, his sister Rei, Jed-"
"Her boyfriend" Jed said proudly as he sniffed the air "leather"
"What?" Rika asked confused
"Don't mind him, he's part Pug" Rei said smiling at the red head, who still looked lost
"Wow! No way, you two are dating now?" Motoki said with a smile "man, I guess I owe you $20 Usagi" he said laughing
"You made bets on if we would start dating or not?!" Rei yelled at her blond headed friend
"It was a good investment" she said with a shrug
"Anyway" Motoki said handing a 20 to Usagi "This is Minako, Usagi's cousin, Kunzite, the two that left where Ami and Zoi, and this is nephrite"
"It's nice to meet you all" she said sweetly
"So Rika are you going to the dance with Motoki?" Usagi asked curiously
"Well…actually I don't have a costume, so I guess not" she said looking down at her hands
"Rika goes to the catholic school across the street…" Motoki said "and I told her she didn't need a costume"
"but it's a costume party so going without one would just make her looks strange" Rei said taking a sip of her soda as Jed pulled it away from her and placed a glass of ice water in her hands
"Well then its settled" Usagi said getting up "let go Rika" pulling a confused Rika out of the chair Usagi smiled as the girls fallowed suit "we'll see you all at the dance"
After slapping her look alike the catatonic teen looked around "is it over?" she asked as Usagi nodded
"We're saying good bye to the boys now" Rei said
"Oh, well don't forget Six o'clock" Minako said kissing kunzite on the forehead
"Or we'll find ourselves new dates" Rei said laughing at Jed's narrow eyes
At the high school
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Seiya growled as Kakeru walked out the empty school
Letting out a chuckle he walked pasted the angry teen
"Answer me!"
"I came to be close to her" he answered simply
"She doesn't need this right now"
"How do you know what she needs Huh? What right do you have keeping us away from each other?"
"It was her mother's wish" seiya took a breath "Ikuko asked that we keep you away from Usagi, She said you would bring her nothing but pain" Seiya growled "Why do you want to hurt her? It's bad enough her own birth mother wanted her dead, Can't you just leave her be?"
"You know Seiya I'm about sick of your shit! I have waited 16 years! I had to bury our mother, knowing that all she ever wanted was to be with her daughter; still wishing she could have seen Usagi, to tell her she was sorry
That she loved her and never meant to cause her such pain" Kakeru ran and angry hand though his blond hair "but they wouldn't let her near Usagi. That woman did everything in her power to keep us away from my sister" he laughs "Don't you see, everything she has told you and your mother was a lie" he took a deep breath "I know my mother wasn't perfect, but who is? Our mother wasn't the monster that everyone thought she was" tears filled the blonds eyes "I love my sister and would never hurt her or cause her unnecessary harm, but she has a right to know about me, as I have a right to know her…All I want, all I've ever wanted is a chance to know her…so why don't you just leave me alone"
Seiya stayed quite as Kakeru walked to his car.
"What do I do?" he asked himself as his phone rang, it was his mother "he's here mom…Kakeru here and I don't know what to do" he said into the receiver
