Just Leave Me Alone !
"What are you looking at?" Kyouya asked bluntly.
"Where you actually friends with Aya-chan?" Honey asked, sounding amazed.
"I don't remember her, but I may have forgot. I will ask my father tonight."
"Tell your father that my parents said that they think that the arranged marriage should be cut off."
Then all the eyes turned from Kyouya to me. The beady eyes were kind of scary.
"What do you mean engaged marriage?" Tamaki asked, looking confused.
"In the letter, it says 'tell our old friend, Yoshio Ootori, we think that the arranged marriage should be cut off'." I replied, reading from the paper.
The eyes piercing into my head widened.
Everyone's face had an expression of confusion.
Even mine.
"Kyouya, can I borrow your phone." I asked.
"Sure." he replied, phone already in hand.
I looked through the contacts until I found 'Father'. Then I pressed the green button.
"Hello, Yoshio Ootori speaking."
"Hello, my name is Ayaka Mizushima. I am calling because of a note that my p-p-parents left, before they passed. In the note, they say that they think that the arranged marriage should be cut off. I don't know what it means, but maybe you have an idea." I told him.
He didn't reply. I couldn't hear anything on the other end of the line.
"Are you still there?" I asked, getting concerned.
"Um … Yes, yes I am. I know what they mean, and I will cancel the marriage immediately." he answered.
"What marriage?" I asked.
"Have you seen the photo, with you and a boy on?" he asked.
"Yes, how did you know about that?" I replied.
"That doesn't matter. The boy was supposed to be your fiancé. And that boy is … ," there was a long pause, " … Kyouya." he seemed hesitant to say his name.
"Well, I like him, but just as a friend. But I have feelings for another person, and I don't think that this would work out. You know. Being engaged to one person without knowing, and then liking someone else."
"I completely understand." he replied.
"Thank you. Goodbye Yoshio." I tried to say, as best as I could. I was about to cry.
Why did this have to happen to me?
I gave Kyouya his phone back.
"Thank you Kyouya." I said, only confusion filling my voice.
"What just happened, you look like a ghost." the twins asked.
"I found out who it was in the picture, and I found out who was supposed to be getting married."
"Who? Who? Who?" the twins asked, over and over.
"It was Kyouya in the picture, and we were supposed to get married. Arranged since birth." I said in one breath.
Everyone then starred at me dumbstruck.
The land line started to ring. It was in the hallway, so I walked out to get it.
"Hello, Ayaka Mizushima speaking." I said.
"Ayaka, you are so cute. Mitsukuni is not good enough for you. Come to me, and I will see to it that you are loved more." it was an automated message, so I couldn't put a name to the voice. But I could hear some light breathing in the background, so I knew somebody was there.
"Just leave me alone!" I shouted down the phone. I then hung up and started crying. So I sat down leaning against the wall, burying my face in my hands.
I heard footsteps coming from the front room. They were probably coming to see what was taking me so long. They probably even heard me shout down the phone.
It was only one pair of footsteps though, only one person.
"Was it him again?" I heard a soft voice ask.
I couldn't really reply with my voice, so I just nodded.
Soft, but cold arms wrapped around me.
"Kyouya." I mumbled.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Do you love me?" I asked.
"In some ways, yes, but in others, no." he replied.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked, now looking at his face.
"Well, I like the way you smile and the way you dress. But I don't like the way you go white when you are scared. And the way you can't handle your emotions properly." he explained.
He then handed me a tissue.
"We need to find out who that person is." Kyouya had stated.
"The only problem is, who could it be?" I asked.
"I don't know who it could be. Does Honey know?" he asked.
"No, but I will have to tell him soon." I replied.
