Hey people! ^.^ I'm really sorry that I updated so late. You may all kill me now. X(. You guys have all the right to be pissed. But here is the next chapter. I tired to make it really long (or long enough anyways.)
"I hope they make cream—"
The sound of the door bell echoes in my ears. I'm in my room listening to this idiot's stomach for about an hour. Even thought I could care less about the dinner I'm glad the door bell rang. It silenced this fool's blabbering.
I can sense their small Ki's entering the house. They're only three of them. Hopefully I can escape to my room after we eat dinner. But, knowing my mother I won't have the chance. Damn her.
"Oh, they're here."
I sit up because I know that sooner or later my mother is going to drag my ass over there. I can hear the click of heels in the hallway. They're getting closer to my door, but they stop before they reach it.
Damn.
I can sense her Ki at my sister's door. She's probably going to tell them that it's time.
I rise from my seat on the bed. I close my eyes and pause. I carefully listen to my mother's conversation.
"Hey guys, It's time for dinner."
"Wait mom their here?" Aiko's voice sounds excited.
"Yes."
I can sense that my mother is at their door way. She hasn't entered Aiko's room. She's probably dragged Kotori out of his room already. I'm next.
Damn.
"Oh so that's who I was sensing."
"Yes. Since you're already dressed, I want you to wash up and be down stairs in a few minutes."
"Okay!"
"Oh and one more thing, I nee—"
"VEGETA!"
My concentration is cut off. I open my eyes and see two dark eyes staring at me.
That idiotic moron.
I close my eyes once more. My fingers begin to curl up into a fist. Soon I fell my fist make contact with something soft. I re-open my eyes and feel relieved that the baka is no longer in my face. He gets up from the floor rubbing his cheek.
"Hey, what did I do? Why did you hi—"
Just then my mother entered the room.
Damn. Here we go.
"Hey it's dinner time. Come down in a few minutes okay."
Then just like that she leaves. But before she does I notice a smile on her face.
What the hell is she planning?
"Dinner!"
The baka starts to jump like a 5 year old. He jumps his way to the door, but stops before he reaches it. He turns to me with a confused look.
"Vegeta. . . . "
"What?" I growled.
"You coming?" he asked.
I grunted. Why do I put up with this? "Does it look like I want to go to the stu—"
Before I could finish I notice someone at the door. Aiko and Amaterasu are watching us innocently.
"Veggie. Let's go to dinner." she said.
"I'll be down in a minute." I responded.
"You don't wanna come with me?" A sad expression appears on her face.
Damn. Something tells me my mother put her up to this. She knows that I can't say no to her.
Amaterasu walked up to the baka next to me and said, "Come on Onii-san! Let's go eat! I'm hungry. Don't you wanna eat?"
The baka looks at his sister with a friends smile. "Of course! Come one. Let's go!" He picks her up and carries her out my room and into the hallway. "We're going down stairs. See you there Vegeta."
Now only Aiko and I are left. She looks at me with her blue-green eyes.
Fuck. I sigh "Come one. Let's hurry before they eat all the food." I extend my hand out to her. She smiles and grabs my hand as we walk into the hallway. I closed my door before we head down stairs.
"Veggie, what do you think they're like?"
We're sitting in the living room waiting for our host to arrive.
I look around. The whole room is painted white. The TV in front of us is big enough for a family of four or five. My observations are cut short when I notice someone entering the room. My parents notice this before I do and rise from their seats.
Three women enter the room.
I notice that the woman who brought us in is standing to the right-back. She has red shoulder-length hair. She has blue jeans on and an orange spaghetti strap shirt. It has ruffles in the chest area and the bottom of the shirt. On the top left of her shirt is a red poppy. To top it off she's wearing black heels.
On the left side is another woman. She has black shoulder-length hair. It's tied in a loose pony tail and lies loosely on her left side. She's wearing a light blue dress that reaches a few inches above her knees. It has ruffles on the bottom. In the middle of her chest is a white sunflower. She's wearing white heels. They're about an inch tall.
The last one woman is standing in middle of the other two. She's wearing a black dress. It hugs perfectly her curves. It stops at her knees. On the right side of her hip is a blue rose. To top it off she's wearing black heels. They are decorated with three small blue jewels on each side of them. Her hair falls neatly on her shoulders. The ends are curled up. Her eyes are ocean blue.
All three of them smiled as they walked toward us.
"Hana! Koichi! Welcome! I'm so glad you could make."
"Izumi!" My mom walked to, who I'm guessing is, Izumi. They receive each other with a hug. They look like best friends who haven't seen each other for years.
"Hana! How's everything? Is the house okay? If they're a problem just tell me, okay."
Okay I take that back. They look like sisters who haven't scene each other for years.
They finally pull away from they're sisterly hug. My father walks up to them to greet Izumi. He extends his hand out. Izumi looks at it and back to him.
"Koichi, we're not in the office so there's no need to be formal." He smiles. "How many times do I have to tell you? Come here. Don't be shy." Izumi gives my father a hug. It looks like she got over excited. My father's face looks a bit out of color.
"Um. . .Izumi." My mother says with a smile.
Izumi releases her grip on my father. "Oops." she says and everyone starts laughing. Everyone except me. After a minute they stop laughing and Izumi introduces her friends. The women with black hair smiled as Izumi introduced her.
"This is Yumi." Then she turned to the women with red-shoulder length hair."And this is Suzume. Yumi, they are my best employees in the whole company. Koichi Aoi and his wife Hana Aoi."
So she's their boss. . .
Yumi extends her hand out to my mother and she gladly took it. Suzume soon follows. "Hello! I'm Hana. He's my husband Koichi and—" My mom is cut off by some sounds coming from the stairs. We can hear voices and the echo of footsteps as they come down the stairs.
"Come on Onii-san! Hurry!"
"Alright, Alright. I'm going. Slow down please."
"Okay Onii-san." At this point I can hear them slowing down. "Aiko! Hurry up!"
"But-" For a Few minutes I can hear two people whispering. I can't make out the words, so I have no idea what they're saying. "Okay. Wait up Ama!"
"Let's go Aiko! My mommy told me that she is gonna make those yummy cupcakes!"
"REALLY! Kotori hurry or you won't get any!
"You too Onii-san!"
Suddenly two little girls appear. They're standing next to each other at the bottom of the stair case. Soon they were followed by a boy. By the look of his face expression I can tell that he doesn't want to be here.
"Aiko! Amaterasu! Kotori! Come I want you to meet some friends of mine."
"Okay!" They both said in unison with a smile. The boy, who I'm guessing is Kotori, followed behind.
"Hi mommy!" One of the two said to Yumi.
"Hi dear. This is my lovely daughter Amaterasu."
"Hi-Hi!" She says with a warm smile almost like a grin. I feel like she's smiling at me. I'm not sure though.
That smile looks familiar...
The little girl has black hair that's tied back in half a ponytail. Her eyes are brown almost black.
Her face looks familiar too...
She's wearing an orange spaghetti strap dress that reaches all the way to her knees. On the back is a red bow. At the bottom it has a few ruffles. Amaterasu is also wearing red shoes with heels about an inch high. Hanging from her neck is a chain that has an orange ball attached to it. The orange ball has four red stars on it. It looks like it can fit in my whole hand.
It looks familiar. I think I've seen that. . . .somewhere. Everything about her looks familiar.
"Hello!" My mother says. "I'm Hana and this is my husband Koichi." My father smiled at her as my mother introduced him.
"Ama where's your brother?"
"Oh Onii-san was with us. I think he's coming down soon."
"Okay, well while we wait. . . ." Izumi said. "I'll introduce my children." Izumi said as she began to introduce them. "This is Kotori the second eldest."
Kotori has black hair. It's standing up defining gravity. Just a bit of his hair is in his face a little bit. (A/N: Think of Tarble's hair style) He's eyes are ocean blue like his mother's. He's wearing a pair of black jeans and a t-shirt. Nothing special, really. His shirt is black with purple designs. It has a 'Warrior' written in purple letters. Underneath it is a white skull.
"Hey" he says. I can see that he has one earphone in his right ear. Izumi sends him a glare.
"And this is Aiko."
"Hello!" She says with a big warm smile.
I look at the little girl in front of us.
Aiko is really beautiful. She has black long hair. She's wearing a beautiful black dress with spaghetti straps. At the bottom it has a few ruffles. It's simple but beautiful. The only thing that stands out form the dress is a sapphire located in the middle of her chest. The sapphire is in the shape of a heart. The last thing that attracts my attention is her eyes. They are a mix of blue and green. Right now they look more blue than green. They look like sapphires in the light. In any moment they can turn green. She stares at me with her blue-green eyes.
"Hi!" my mom says. "I'm Hana Aoi and this is my husband Koichi."
(A/N: Try to guess whose POV this is.)
After my Mommy was done introducing me I notice an older girl looking at me. She looks interesting and nice. I think she's the same age as my big brother. I'm not sure.
The girl in front of me has blue hair that passes her shoulders. She has big blue eyes. They are different than my mom's. They remind me of the sky. I like what she's wearing. She's wearing black jeans and a blue shirt that reaches a bit past her waist. It's blue with black butterflies for designs. Around her wrist are different types of bracelets. They are silver, black or blue. She's wearing heels like my mom but hers are black.
I smile at her and say, "Hi! What's your name?"
"Bulma." She responses with a smile.
"Do you wanna be my friend?" She looks as me with a surprised look at first.
"Sure." she says with a smile.
"'Kay."
Yes! I have a new friend!
"See Bulma, I told you that you were gonna make new friends here." I look over and see Hana. She smiles at me and says, "We just moved here so Bulma doesn't really know anyone. Thank you for being her friend."
I smiled. "You're welcome Ms. Aoi."
Hana began to laugh. I don't understand why through. "Oh sweet please call me Hana."
"O-okay M—I mean Hana."
Hana smiled at me.
I smile at Aiko. She's so sweet and innocent.
"Aiko?" Izumi says as she looks at her. "Where's your brother?" Aiko looked at her then at the staircase. "Well. . .I guess we'll have to wait for them." Izumi turns to my parents and says, "Sorry about this. Looks like we're gonna have to wait a while for the other two to come down."
"It's okay Izumi." My mom responses. "Looks at it this way. We can talk while we wait. " My mom turns to Yumi and Suzume and says, "Now let's go sit down and we can get to know each other more." My mom took Yumi and Suzume towards the sofa.
Suddenly I feel someone tugging on my shirt. I look down to see Amaterasu. I smile at her.
"Um . . Bulma, do you wanna be my friend too?" She asks with a big smile. I'm guessing she was scared at first but now she has full confidence.
"Sure Amaterasu."
Amaterasu took my hand. Her hand is very warm like her smiles. "You can call me Ama if you want."
"Okay."
I can hear people laughing and talking in the living room. I can feel the presence of 9 people down there. There's one presence that seems familiar to me.
I close the door behind me as I walk towards the grinning idiot.
After Aiko went down stairs with Ama, I went to change into more comfortable cloths.
I'm walking down the stairs and I can hear everyone talking and laughing.
Maybe this won't be so bad.
We arrive at the bottom of the stairs and I see my mother, Yumi and Suzume talking with two other people on the sofa. Kotori is sitting a few feet away from them. I can tell that he's got his earphones on.
Kotori looks up and notices us. He rises from the sofa and walks toward us. My mother notices when Kotori got up and turns to our direction. Her face begins to light up when she sees us. Only for a moment though, I notice a smirk growing on her face.
Yumi and the others turned around and face us.
"Finally! We were waiting for you guys!" Yumi says as she stands up. The other two sitting on the couch look at us with weird expressions. Suzume and my mother also stood up. The other two followed.
My mom came up to us first and said, "Now that your here I can introduce you all." My mom turned to the two next to her. "These are our guest for tonight. Hana and Koichi Aoi."
The woman, Hana, has long blond hair. It's held up in high ponytail. She's wearing a simple white dress that reaches all the way to her knees. Around her waist is a black belt. She has a few jewelry on. A crystal heart around her neck and some diamond earrings. She's wearing black heels.
The man next to her is dressed more formal. I think he's man is Koichi. Koichi is wearing a black suit with a blue tie. He's black hair is held back by gel. He's wife looks like she's going to the club but he looks like he's going to a meeting.
Aoi. Aoi. Where have I heard that name? I know I've heard it before.
(A/N: So clueless. Hehehehehe :D.)
"Hello!" Hana says with a smile.
Aiko, Ama and I are in the backyard. It's so beautiful out here. On the far left side of the garden is a picnic table. Near it is a small pond with a fountain. On the far right side of the garden is a big tree.
It looks ancient. Its long branches extend out elegantly. On its branches it has many leaves and flowers. The flowers are wide open showing their blue petals. As I look at the flowers I notice that each of them are different. I've never seen a tree like this one before. The flowers look kind of like lilies.
But lilies don't grow on trees.
"Over there my mom, Yumi and Suzume planted the chrysthanthemums." Aiko said as she pointed to some chrysthanthemums that are against the fence that isolates her backyard. The chrysthanthemums are red, white, purple and blue. I feel Ama pull my hand.
"Look! Look! Over here Aiko, her mom, my mom and me planted those amabells." I look over to where she was to. There, on the right side of the tree, are beautiful white flowers. They hang down like bells. Their petals were pointing up to the skies. The amabells aren't completely white. The tips of the petals are light purple.
"These are my favorite." Ama said. Ama bent down and gently touched the ends of the amabells. She silently giggled to herself. Then she got up and said, "Aren't they beautiful?" Her eyes still looking at the amabells. I looked up and noticed the light of day had disappeared. The night has taken over. The stars being to appear like diamonds in the sky. Suddenly a gentle wind blew. The amabells began to ring. It was a beautiful sound. It sounds like harps. It's so angelic.
I closed my eyes and concentrate on the sound. Suddenly my nose picked up a fragrance that I have never smelled before.
It was a nice fragrance. It's not strong. Its smells like when it rains. It's a clear and natural fragrance, a bit sweet. Then I feel a drop of water fall on my cheek.
I opened my eyes and looked at the tree. The flowers began to open. The inside of the petals are light blue.
"Moonlilies." I look towards Aiko. She looks at them and says, "You like them? They're moonlilies."
"Moonlilies? I've never heard of those."
"My mom says that they're really rare. Not many people now about them. They bloom every night. They're very special just like the amabells. Like the amabells the moonlilies have their story."
Everything was quite for a moment. The only sound was of the blowing wind. The only sent is the sent moonlilies. I close my eyes for a moment.
Suddenly I hear some voices behind me. Ama turns and runs towards the voices.
"ONII-SAN!" she yells as she runs.
Aiko takes my hand and says, "Looks like there here. Come Bulma, I'll introduce you to my big brother."
As we walk into the backyard I hear someone yelling. I look up and see Ama running toward us.
"ONII-SAN!" Aiko runs as fast as she can until she bumps into her brother. "Onii-san! Onii-san come I want you to meet my new friend! She's very pretty." Aiko grabs his hand and begins to pull him.
Suddenly she stops. "Never mind. Here they come." Ama points to the back of the yard. I can see Aiko talking with some else. I can't see who's talking with her. The shadow of the tree is covering her face.
My mom and the others just came out of the house. "Ama where's Aiko and—Oh there they are."
My mom signed them to come over.
Aiko and I see the other signaling us to go over.
My eyes have gotten use to the darkness, so someone turned the light it blinded me. I can barely make out 8 figures standing near the door. I know one of them is Ama. I'm guessing everyone else is next to her.
As we get closer the more the light blinds me until my eyes adjust to the light. Soon I am able to make see everyone a bit better.
"Come on girls hurry up." I hear Izumi say as she walks towards us. Izumi reached us and said, "Come on." Izumi takes my hand and leads us toward the others. The lights begin to blind me again as we get near.
Damn! My eyes.
"Bulma?"
I hear a familiar voice call my name from behind the blinding light. I close my eyes and try to adjust them to the light.
"Bulma, is that you?"
I open my eyes, now that they have adjusted to the lighting, and see someone that I wasn't expecting.
"Goku?"
"Hey Bulma! I didn't know you were here."
I look at Goku somewhat surprised. Goku is wearing a blue shirt with a black jacket on top. He has white Levis jeans and black sneakers.
"Onii-san, you know B-chan?"
I look down to see Ama holding Goku's hand. Goku looks down towards her and smiles."Yea she goes to my school. We have some classes together. Is she your new friend?"
"Yea! B-chan and I are friends now! Are you guys friends too?"
"Yes we're friends too."
Ama's face light up with excitement. Suddenly I feel the warmth of Aiko's hand leave my hand. I was about to look towards her but I two arms wrap themselves around me. I look down to fine Ama hugging me.
"Now we can all be friends. Right B-chan."
I smile at her as I say, "Of course Ama."
Ama's face lights up with excitement. "YAY!" Ama begins to jump up and down with joy. "We're all friends FOREVER and EVER! Isn't that great Aik—" Ama stopped jumping. "Aiko?"
I walked away before Aiko and her guest arrived. I don't like wasting my time on bored events like this one. I rather just eat. The shadow of a tree gives me cover. The moon's light illuminating most of the backyard. My tail begins to loosen slowly.
Fuck! I'm so hungry.
My tail is almost free and was about to wave around but suddenly I feel someone tugging on my shirt. My tail quickly tightens around my waist again. I look down and see Aiko tugging my shirt.
"Veggie are you coming?"
Aiko is looking at me with her blue-green eyes. If it was Kotori or my mother I would obviously said no, but. I can't say no to her.
"Hn." is my only answer yet she smiles at me with joy.
Aiko's small warm hand makes contact with my hand. She slowly begins to lead me to where the others are. We hear Amaterasu calling Aiko.
"AIKO!"
"Come one." Aiko says as she tugs my hand. "COMING!" She announces.
We begin walking towards Amaterasu and the others. We stop before we get any closer to the light.
"I forgot to tell you Veggie. I have a new friend and I want you to me her. She's really pretty!"
I just look at her with an expressionless face and say, "Hn."
As we begin to walk towards the light I get blinded by its brightness for a few minutes. When I open my eyes I notice the one person I never thought I would see. My tails curls tightly around my waist.
What the hell is she doing here?
"You finally decide to show up." I hear my mother say. I look towards her and don't respond. Slowly I feel Aiko pulling my hand. Then before anyone can say anything Aiko speaks.
"Veggie, I want you meet my new friend Bulma. B-chan this is my big brother Vegeta."
Fuck! First I have to wait for my dinner, then I find out I have to share with "guest", and now I find out that one of the "guest" is this annoying women. When will this fuck'en day end?
My tail tightens even more.
Oh great! I can't believe Vegeta is my next door neighbor. I can't believe he's Aiko's older brother! Well now that I think about it they do look alike.
I look towards Vegeta. He's wearing a dark-red shirt. On top of it he's wearing a black, leather jacket. Its sleeves look like they have been ripped off. He has black jeans with a black belt. To top it off he's wearing dark-blue boots that reach about 4 inches below his knee. With a frown on his face and his arms crossed against his chest, I notice that he's looking at me.
"Hey Vegeta." I said with a smile on my face. "Your sister is really cute! Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?"
"Veggie, you know Bulma?"
Veggie?. . . .I'll keep that in mind. I think with a mental smirk.
Vegeta looked at Aiko but didn't give her an answer.
"Aiko they got to the same school." Ama says. Aiko looks at Ama.
"Really?" A smile begins to grow on her face. Her currently blue eyes began to light up.
"B-chan goes to school with our brothers. Isn't that great!" Ama began to jumpy up and down with joy. Aiko looked at me.
"Do you really go to school with Veggie?"
"Yes. We have come classes together. Isn't that right Vegeta?" He looks towards me when I call him name. It's faint but I can hear a growl coming from his throat.
Wait. . .growl? I wonder how he does that? I shrug at the thought.
"Yes! I remember your mother telling me that you were going to the same school." Izumi looks toward Vegeta and say,"I was going to tell you this morning but you left in a hurry." Vegeta didn't say anything." Well enough of this let's go eat I'm starving." As if on cue Goku's stomach started growling.
"Hehehehehe. . . .same here."
Everyone started laughing. Well, everyone but Vegeta. I looked toward him and saw him roll his eyes. I laugh a little to myself. Suddenly I feel two little hands grab my hands. I look down and see Aiko and Ama holding my hands.
"Come on B-chan." Ama says to me. "Let's go eat."
"Will you sit next to us B-chan?" Aiko asks.
"Yes." I respond with a smile.
A smile grows on Aiko and Ama's face as they lead me inside the house. Once we arrived to the kitchen I was amazed by all the food on the table. A giant, what I guessing, turkey is in the middle of the table. It looks heavy.
Where did they get that! More importantly, how can the table hold that much weight? I wonder as I walk towards the table, still amazed by all the food.
The whole room is painted black. The table is is long and can fit twelve people. The table is decorated beautifully. The plates are squared and white with a black broader. The cups appear to be made of glass.
Everyone starts to take their seats on the table. Izumi is at the head of the table. My mom, Suzume, Goku, Kotori and Vegeta are siding to the left of Izumi. My father, Yumi, Ama, Aiko, and I are sitting on the right side of Izumi. Everyone sat there quietly until Izumi spoke.
"Well then, what's everyone waiting for? Let's eat."
Four strangers observed through a glass ball as three families sit, eat and talk together.
Two of them have black hair and appear to be brothers. One of them is taller than the other. He's probably the oldest. To their right is a tall boy with hair that reaches a few centimeters above his shoulders. The last person is in front of all three of them. He is wearing black sunglasses.
"Looks like everything's fine. They've finally meet." said the youngest of the two brothers with a smile on his face.
"Yea." replied the shoulder length-haired boy next to him.
"I still can't believe that they did that without you or anyone finding out."
"Well I believe it." the oldest brother said with a smile on his face. "We all now how they are. Even if he did fine out he wouldn't be able to stop them."
Everyone but the stranger with sunglasses began to laugh.
"Ha ha, very funny you guys."
"I know right." said one of the two brothers. The other two started laughing.
"Thank you so much for the food Izumi. It was delicious!" Hana said as she began to pick the dirty dishes and take them to the the adults are the only ones left. Everyone else headed upstairs a few minutes ago.
"Thank you Hana." Izumi replied. "Oh, Hana you don't have to do that. We'll take care of it." Hana walked towards the dishwasher and set the plates in one by one.
"It's alright Izumi. It's the least I can do. You guys cooked such a great dinner."
"Thank you."
Yumi began to take all the clean trays that once had varieties of sushi. As Yumi walked toward the counter two trays fell off. Luckily, Hana was nearby and caught them just in time.
"Want some help?" she asked.
"Okay, thank you."
"Please call me Hana." Hana said as she took a few trays from Yumi.
"Thank you Hana."
"No problem. You know I was surprised on how much your boys eat. When I saw the giant turkey I wasn't sure that we were going to finished it but—" Hana looks over to her husband who's trying to remove what is left of the turkey off the table. "It looks like I was wrong."
Izumi walks towards Koichi, who is trying to left what is left of the turkey off the table.
"It's alright I'll do it." Izumi said with a smile.
"Its meat is gone but it's still heavy. Must be the bones." he said as he tried to catch his breath.
Izumi walks toward the turkey and picked it off with one hand. Koichi just stared in amazement.
As Izumi puts the giant turkey on the counter, she stop and look's at Koichi's face. She wasn't the only one, Yumi, Suzume and Hana looked at him. Suddenly they started to laugh at him.
"B-chan I can't wait until I show you my room!" Aiko says as we reach the top of the stairs.
"Me either! Aiko's room is pretty!" Ama said with excitement.
Aiko and Ama began to talk to each other about what they should show me first. I turn and look at some pictures that are on the walls.
Each one has the whole family together. Izumi, Aiko, Kotori and Vegeta. In most of them Vegeta looks like he doesn't want to take a picture. It made me laugh a little.
"You like our pictures?" I heard someone say. I look down to see Aiko smiling at me.
"Yes, I do."
Aiko said nothing but smiled at me. I look back at the photos, examining them one by one. Suddenly I fell something small and warm grab my hand. I look down to see Ama.
"Come on B-chan! We want to show you Aiko's room. It's really pretty!" Ama began to lightly tug on my hand. "Aiko help!" Aiko laughed a little before grabbing my other hand and tugging it lightly.
"Okay, Okay. I'm going. I'm going."
They are sooo cute!
I followed then until we reached the third door in the hallway.
"Close your eyes please!" Ama said.
"Okay." I smile as I close my eyes. Aiko, who is still holding my hand, leads me through the doorway. I can feel the light from the room shines brightly. "Can I open them know?"
"Yes!" Aiko and Ama said together. At that moment I feel Aiko's warm hand leave mine. I open my eyes.
Aiko's room is very pretty. All four walls of her are sky-blue. Her bed is to the right against the wall. To its left is a desk. Next to the desk is a window with sky-blue and black curtains. On the wall to the right side of her bed is a beautiful picture of the sunset at the beach. On the other side of her room she has her television. To the left of her television are two doors. I'm guessing one leads to the closet. Next to the closet door is her vanity. Her vanity is white. It has a hair brush, some crayons and paper. Her room looks very pretty and organized.
"Your room is very pretty."
"Thank you." Aiko said with a bow.
"I love that picture. It's beautiful." I said looking at the picture of the sunset on the beach.
"Thank you." Aiko began to look at the picture. I turn to her and see that her eyes are sad yet happy. Ama came and stood next to us.
"I like it too."
"Is it a painting or a photograph?" I ask but Aiko does not respond.
"It's a photo." Ama responds. "Aiko's dad took it. He was a photographer."
Was?
Aiko looked at Ama as if wanting her to stop talking. I turn to her and see sadness fill her blue-green eyes.
"It's a beautiful picture Aiko. He must have been very talented. Did he take those pictures that are in the hallway?"
Aiko stayed quiet for a while. Then her face fills with happyness. She looks up at me with a smile.
"Yup! He took most of them. He was a great photographer." I just smile at her.
"Let's play now!" Ama announces with a cheerful face.
"Finished!" Hana announced cheerfully.
Hana, Suzume and Yumi were cleaning up for an hour and a half. They talked and got to know each other more. Izumi and Koichi are talking about work in the living room.
"Thanks so much for you help Hana." Yumi said with a smile.
"Your welcome. I'm glad I was able to help." Hana responded. Yumi turned to the clock and was shocked when she saw what time it was.
"Oh wow! Eleven already?" Yumi began to mumble to herself.
"It's eleven?" Hana asked and looked at the clock.
Suddenly Izumi and Koichi entered the kitchen. "Well I'll discuss this with you at work tomorrow." Izumi turned and looked at the other three. "Well everyone looks like the party's over."
"Can't argue with you there Izumi." Yumi replied.
"True." Han replied. She walked towards her husband and said, "Honey, go call Bulma please. It's really late and she has school tomorrow."
"Sure thing." Koichi replied. Koichi was about to leave when Suzume spoke.
"Don't worry about it Mr. Aoi, I will go."
"Thank you Suzume but you can call me Koichi."
"Suzume can you call Goku and Amaterasu to come down as well."
"Yes."
"Thank you Suzume."
With that Suzme left the kitchen.
"I'm sorry I kept you guys this late. I guess I lots track of time."
"Don't worry its fine with us. We had a lot of fun." Hana looked at Koichi as if expecting him to say something.
"Yes. The food was delicious. Thank you." Koichi replied.
"Why don't we go to living room and talk while we wait for the kids to come down." Yumi asked. Everyone agreed and headed towards the living room.
I was about to win when a knock at the door interrupted our game. I turned to look at Aiko's clock that is sitting at her desk. It reads eleven o' five.
Wow. How long have we been here?
Once more we heard another knock at the door.
"Come in Suzume." Aiko responds and Suzume enters.
"Sorry to interrupt." Suzume turns to me. "Your mother and father are calling you. They say it's time to leave."
"No!" Ama responses grabbing my arm. "B-chan can't leave yet. We haven't finished our game. Just three more minutes!"
"You mother is calling you as well Amaterasu. It's time for you to go home as well."
"Awwww! Fine. I have to go now Aiko."
"I'll come with you guys." Aiko responses with a smile.
"Yay! Let's go B-chan!"
"Okay I'm coming." I said as I followed behind. Before I leave her room I look at the photograph her father took. I can feel the warmth of the sun coming off from the photograph. I can hear the waves splashing calmly against the beach. The sunset looks like the sky looks like it's a flame that is slowly dying down. I took one last look before leaving.
I close Aiko's door before walking down the hallway.
Aiko, Ama and Suzume are way ahead of me.
Way ahead.
I walk until I see the pictures on the walls. I study them one by one more carefully this time. As I keep observing I see pictures that I didn't see before. One is Vegeta and Kotori together back to back. They looked at the camera with a smirk on their faces. Now that I see them together I notice that they look alike.
Well they are brothers so of course they're gonna look alike. Kotori looks like he could also be his son.
I laughed a little at the thought.
"What's so funny women?" Goosebumps when up my spine as I heard a low but familiar voice ask behind me. I turn around and see Vegeta leaning against the wall.
"Damn! You scared me! How about you say something next time? Not just stand there and scare me?"
"I did say something."
Smart ass.
"Are you going to answer my question or not?" He asked impatiently.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I asked you."
"That's not a good reason you know." He growled at my response, while I smile in victory. He turns and murmurs something under his breath. I roll my eyes and turn my attention back to the wall and continue to observe. My eyes stop at one picture. It's Kotori, Izumi, Aiko and Vegeta. On the left side of the picture is Izumi. She has her arm wrapped around Kotori's shoulders. On the left is Aiko and Vegeta. Vegeta is holding Aiko up on one arm. She, in return, has her arms around his neck. They are together under a tree.
That tree looks familiar.
I hear the sound of a knob turning and a door opening.
"They look like you."
I stop what I'm doing.
What?
I turn around and see her looking at a photograph that is hanging on the wall. Her eyes are locked on the it. I notice a smile on her face.
"What?" I asked in surprise.
She turns to me. I look into her eyes. They seem to be filled with a bit of happiness and—
"I said they look like you." she says nothing else but turns to the photograph. Her eyes study the picture as if they are searching for something.
I was about to say something when Aiko came in.
"B-chan you mother is calling you." Aiko turns to me and says. "Hi Veggie! Were you gonna take B-chan stairs?" she asks with an innocent face and a smile across her face.
I look at her with a serious face, not sure what to tell her. She blue-green eyes stare into my coal-black ones. I break our eyes contact and turn my attention to the wall. I hear her giggle. I look back down at her but now she's just smiling at me. She giggles one more time and grabs my hand.
"Well come on let's go. They're waiting." She said as she grabs Bulma's hand. I am on her left and Bulma's on her right. "Let's go!" she says as she guides us towards the stairs. We arrive at the stairs and stop.
"Aiko I don't think we'll be able to pass at the same time." The woman states the obvious.
"Nope." She responses. "I'll go first then." She begins to walk down the stairs. She gets to the second step, stops and looks at us. "Come on. Let's go." she says and tugs on our hands. We start to walk down the stairs side by side as Aiko pulls our hands. We walk down the stairs and our shoulders touch against each other as we walk.
"Aiko!" we hear as we arrive to the bottom of the stairs. We all turn and see Amaterasu standing next to that fool of her brother.
"Excuse me." Aiko bows to us before leaving to go talk to Amaterasu. The woman takes a few steps forward.
"She's so cute. You are very lucky Vegeta." She looks as Aiko walks to Amaterasu. Her blue eyes watching them for a while. I notice Kesshi walking towards us with a grin on his face.
"Hey Bulma. Hey V-man."
I growl at him. "Kesshi, I told you not to call me that."
"But you call me by my last name instead of my first name. I don't see why can't I call you V-man?"
"Because, Kesshi, I despise that ridicules "nickname" you gave me."
"Fine." He says in a disappointed voice.
Hn.
"Hey Bulma, did you know about this dinner?"
"No Goku. Trust me if I knew I would have told you."
"You're right."
"B-chan!" We turn and see Aiko and Amaterasu walking towards us. "B-chan!"
The woman looked at them with happiness in her eyes.
"What's up Aiko, Ama?"
"B-chan! We want to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"Bulma," Aiko spoke. "Will you come on Saturday to play with us?"
"Please!" they asked in unison.
"I'll see if I can come over, okay?" she responded.
"Yea! Thank you B-chan!"
"Amaterasu, Goku it's time to go home."
"Okay we're coming." she responds. "Come on Onii-san. Mommy's calling us." Amaterasu reaches out and grabs her brother's hand.
"Okay I'm coming." The fool laughs as he is being pulled by his little sister into the living room.
"Let's go." Aiko begins to walk toward the living room. The woman follows soon after. I walk towards the stairs when someone's voice stops me.
"Veggie. . . ." She says in a sweet tone. "Mom asked if you wants you to join us to say good bye to our guest."
A small growl grew in my chest as I turned my attention away from her.
"Please." Her blue-green eyes plead at me.
Fuck.
"Hn." She smiles at my respond. She reaches out and takes my hand. Together we walk into the living room.
My mother is still talking to our 'guest'.
"Well thank you for the wonderful dinner Izumi. Thank you for inviting us."
"No, thank you for coming, Yumi. Thank you so much for your help."
"What are friends for?" All the adults began to laugh. Yumi turns to my mother's employees.
"Hana, Koichi. It was nice meeting you. Hana we should hang out more. After Ms. Boss, here, gives you guys a break."
"Yumi. I need my employees, thank you very much." Again they laughed.
This is getting irritating.
I tune out my mother's conversation and walk towards Kesshi. Aiko, who is still holding my hand follows, me.
"Hey Vegeta."
"Hn." I respond. I look down and see Kotori on the couch with his earphones on. Bulma is with her parents talking to Yumi.
"Onii-san." We hear a little voice speak. Kesshi looks down to his sister. Her eyes are trying to fight the sleep off. "Onii-san. I'm sleepy." Her free hand tries to rub the sleep off. "Onii-san. Can we go home now?"
"Ama, come here." Kesshi left's go of her hand. She stretches her arms out to him. Carefully he carries her up and resets her on his arm. She wraps her arms around his neck and puts her head under his neck. She is about to speak but Kesshi cuts her off. "Shhhhhh. Go to sleep Amaterasu." She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Night Night Onii-san." she said before falling into deep slumber.
"Good night, Amaterasu." Once his little sister is sound asleep he turns and looks at me. "Vegeta." He whispers. "I'll be right back I'm going to tell my mom that Ama fell asleep. It's getting late and we have school tomorrow." I only nod my head in response. I watch as Kesshi walks away.
If she's sleepy that can only mean that Aiko is too. I look at the clock and it reads eleven-fifteen. Her bed time is usually nine-thirty.
I look down at Aiko. She seems to be in deep thought. I can tell that she's sleep already. She's trying to fight it off. Her blue-green eyes seem to blur as she tries to stay awake.
"Aiko, do you want to go to sleep?"
She looks up to me. Her eyes half open.
"Huh?" She looks at me with little confused. "Oh. No I'm not—" A yawn escapes her before she gets to finish her sentence. "sleepy."
"Are you sure about that?" I ask.
"Yes." she says, this time with more confidence.
I look at her and raise one eye brow at her. She frowns in defeat.
"Okay, okay I'll go to my room now." She slowly begins to walk towards the stairs. Her hand begins to slides slowly out of mine.
"Come here little one." I catch her before she leaves and lift her up. Her face lights up in surprise. I sit her on my arm. She looks at me for a second. I give her an invisible smile that only she could see. She smiles back at me and wraps her arms around my neck. She puts her head in my neck. Her eyelashes brush against my neck as she closes her eyes.
"Night Night Veggie." Her warm breath brushes it's self against my neck.
"Good night Aiko." I whisper to her as I move to the back of the living room and away from all the noise.
I watch as he picks up his sleepy little sister. She cuddles with him as she falls asleep. I want to say something but I have a feeling I shouldn't.
All the adults are at the door saying their good byes.
"What are you looking at?"
I look behind me and see Goku with Ama in his arms.
"Goku! Don't sneak up on me like that."
"I'm sorry." He laughs. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay." I look at Ama. She's sound asleep with her arms wrapped around his neck. "She feel asleep."
Goku looks at the little girl in his arms. "Yea. It's passed her bedtime."
"She's so adorable."
"Yes she is." Goku looked at Vegeta. "Looks like Aiko feel asleep as well." My eyes went back to Vegeta and his little sister.
"Yea."
"Goku! Let's go. You have school tomorrow." We hear his mom calling from the door.
"Okay!" he responds. "Well looks like mom's calling."
"I'll go with you." I walk with him until we are a few feet feet away from the door. My parents and Izumi are walking Yumi to her car.
"Well I'll see you at school, Bulma. I would give you a hug but I'm caring Ama and I'm afraid that she'll fall off."
"It's okay Goku. See you at school."
"Okay. Bye Vegeta."
I suddenly feel someone behind me. I turn around and see Vegeta standing behind me with Aiko cuddling in his neck.
"Hn." Goku chuckles at his reply.
"See you guys at school." Before walking out the door Goku took off his jacket relieving his blue sleeveless shirt. He carefully put's it over Ama. A cold wind of air began to slowly enter the house. I watched as Goku waled to his mom's car. It looks like some what of a long way.
How can he walk like that in this cold?
I look up an notice that the sky is decorated with millions of stars. The moon shines brighter than any other star in the sky.
"Close the door." I hear a voice say from inside. I look towards Yumi's car and saw that my parents and Izumi were still chatting with Yumi while Goku put Ama in the car.
"Close the door." I heard the voice again. I looked back and saw Vegeta looking at me. "Close the door." He repeated.
More like demands. I reach the for the door knob and close the door. I enter the living room and see Vegeta still holding Aiko. He's looking at Aiko. Most of he's back is facing me. For a moment I think I hear him mumble something, but I'm not sure. As I watch him I'm sure that he hasn't scene me yet.
"What are you doing women?"
I freeze where I stand
I stand corrected. Damn it.
"How did you know I was here." I ask curiously as I walk towards him. I hear him sigh as I get closer. He turns until he's facing me and raises his eyes from Aiko to me. I look at his dark eyes. He looks at me. The room is quiet for a few seconds.
"What?" He asks breaking the silence. He's facial expressions doesn't change. It's blank and unreadable.
"Nothing." I silently said. I walk closer to him until we are 2 feet away from each other. He backs up just a bit but doesn't walk away. "Aiko is so cute and nice. Your lucky to have her." I look at her sleeping form. She's so tiny.
Something tells me she's not as weak as she looks. Well, looking at her big brother she probably isn't weak.
I can still feel his eyes looking at me. I look up to him and our eyes meet.
He's eyes seem different than before. . .
I look into his eyes trying to find out why he's eyes seem different than what they were a few minutes ago. Now they seem filled with curiosity and something else but I figure out what it is. As I look into his eyes I feel like I've looked into his eyes more than once. I feel like I know these eyes.
"Sorry to interrupt, didn't know you guys were here. By the looks of it I interrupted something very private."
We both turn and see Kotori with a smirk on his face. I look back to Vegeta and notice that we are away closer than before. Now we are only standing a few inches away from each other. I feel a bit of heat raise in my cheeks as I back away.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Vegeta growls at his brother.
"What? You guys were just so close to each other and apparently you know each other. I don't know. It seemed like you were having a private moment." Kotori's smirk grows with every word he says. Vegeta growls at him.
"Oh that, I was looking at Aiko. She looks so cute in her sleep. Want to see?" I smile innocently at him. I look at Vegeta and see that he's looking at Kotori as if he want's to kill him.
He probably does.
Kotori take once step toward us. He stops dead in his steps when we hear Veegta growl at him. He looks like a dog who doesn't want Kotori to trespass in his territory. Kotori's smirk disappears. He looks at me and I just keep smiling at him.
"No thanks, I have to go to bed and mom will kill me if she see's me up this late." Kotori turns and walks towards the stairs.
"Okay. Bye Kotori."
Slowly I hear he's footsteps disappear.
"Well, that was awkward." I walked towards the couch and sat down. A yawn escapes my lips as I lay on the couch. Curiosity got to me. "Why did you growl at your brother?"
Vegeta looks at me but doesn't respond. He looks away and ignores me.
"Hey what's the problem? I just asked a question. Why are you ignoring me anyways?" He looks back at me. "Well? Are you going to keep ignoring me or are you going to answer my question?" I can hear him growl it's not that loud though.
"I'm trying to ignore you because your annoying."
"Oh well sorry for trying to start a conversation."
"Hn."
We stay quiet for a few seconds. In my mind I start to think about how it must be great to have sibling.
"Your lucky to have siblings." My eyes look at the window. I see all the stars that shine in the sky. I feel a pair of dark eyes staring at me. "What does it feel like to have siblings?" He doesn't respond. I keep looking at the stars. I finally bring my gaze down. A sigh escapes my lips. "Must be fun." I say in a low voice. Low enough that I'm sure he didn't hear me.
"Hn."
I look towards him. He's looking me from across the room.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Why do want to know?"
"Well you said, "Hn" and I don't know if that means yes or no. I don't even think that's a word."
"Why sould it matter if it's a word or not?"
"Because people can get confused if you always answer that way."
"Hn."
"Can't you just say no or yes?"
"I don't have to answer to you."
Wow rude much?
"Hey I'm just trying to make a conversation."
"And who said I wanted to have a conversation with you?"
"Well it's the nice thing to do sincs this is your house and I'm you guest. And as your guest you have to make conversation with me."
"You are not my guest, you're my mother's."
"But since it's you house then I'm your guest."
"If you were my guest I would have want you to come."
I was about to say something when I hear the door knob turning. We both look towards the door. Izumi and my parents enter the room.
"We'll talk more about that at work. That is very interesting." Izumi says to my parents.
"Okay Izumi. Well thank you again for the wonderful dinner."
"It was a pleasure, Hana.
"Can you excuse me for a second. I'll be back." I see my mom excuse herself and walk towards me. "Bulma we're leaving in two minutes honey."
"Okay mom."
My mother walks back to Izumi and my father who are having an intersting chat about work.
Again.
I turn and look at Vegeta. He is still holding Aiko as she cuddles more into his neck. I just stare at him. A small smile grows on my face as I watch them. They look so cute together.
It's like the big over-protective brother and the little innocent baby sister.
"What are you looking at women?"
"Huh?"
"See something you like?"
"As if. Don't get to full of yourself."
"What? You're the one staring at me."
"Just FYI I wasn't looking at you, I was looking at your adorable little sister. You wish I was staring at you." Before Vegeta could say anything else my mom called me from the door way.
Insolety women!
Before I could say anything our parents called us to the door way.
"Bulma! Time to go!"
"Finally." I say under my breath.
"Vegeta, come here and say good bye to our guest."
Damnit.
I let out sigh as I walk towards the door. Once I arrive to the door I watch as they say good bye to each other.
"See you at work, Izumi. The food was delicious."
"I'm glad you liked it."
One of my mom's workers,Hana, looks at me with a smile.
"It was a pleasure meeting you Vegeta."
"Hn."
Her husband approached me. "It was a pleasure to meet you Vegeta."
"Hn."
"See you at school Vegeta."
"Hn."
Finally they left and my mother locked the door. She turned and looked at me.
"Really? You couldn't say anything else besides 'Hn'?"
"Hn." A smirk appears on my face.
She rubs her temples in frustration. "Just take Aiko to her room and go to bed. Don't forget you have school tomorrow."
"Hn." I say before climbing the stairs. After a while I arrive to Aiko's room. Carefully I open the door and turn on the lights. I walk to her bed. As I try to lay her down I realize that she doesn't let go of me. I try to untie her arms from my neck but they don't let go.
"What's wrong Veggie?"
"Aiko you have to let me go so I can lay you down on your bed."
"No. I wanna sleep with you Veggie."
"Aiko I have to sleep in my own room."
"Please Veggie. I don't wanna sleep alone."
I sigh at the situation. She's not going to let go until I agree with her.
"Okay. I'll stay here until you fall asleep." I can feel her smile against my neck. Her arms loosen her grip on my neck, allowing me to carefully place her on her bed. Once I place her down she cuddles up into a ball. Carefully I place the covers over her.
"Good night Veggie." Aiko said before closing her eyes.
"Good night Aiko." I lean in and place a kiss on her forehead. I see a smile appear on her face.
I walk to the door and turn off the lights.
"Sweet dreams princess." I said before closing her door.
