So, its been awhile since the last chapter, and this is only 1/2 or less of a new chapter, so do you want them in halves or wholes? The shorter chapters will be published more frequently and be about 500-700 or so words long and whole chapter roughly double that. So yeah, PLEASE leave a review telling me what you think of this. :) If yo don't review, it will be a mix of the two, and the more reviews, the faster, better, and stronger the next chapter!
I walked into the small dining area of the restaurant, looking at the elderly couple who sat in two chairs facing me from the wall. The taisho sat there, glaring at me, while the okami sat politely smiling. An odd couple if I said so myself. "My name is Tsuruga Ren, its great to meet you." I said smiling kindly. "Welcome to our restaurant, please enjoy your stay." the okami said, standing up and bowing politely. Though the taicho continued to glower at me with his arms crossed.
Unnerved, though I continued with my kind front, though I could tell a storm would soon begin to brew. I looked around the room, and saw Kyoko standing off to the side, looking awkward and I could tell, this was an uncomfortable situation for her. "So, 'Mogami-san' has told me lots about you all. She is very thankfull that you both let her stay here, and for making her happy I thank you as well." I said bowing my head softly. I could see everyone but Taisho blush at my words, again he just glowered. "I don't like you." he said bluntly. Shocked I looked up, surprise plastered on my face and on everyone elses.
"You, the one Kyoko-san has talked about, who hurt her feelings, but also, made her strive for a goal. I thank you for that, but I don't like you. Standing in my kitchen, putting on a front, acting instead of being yourself. That is sickening." with this he glowered even harder and stood to leave, his chair screeching against the wooden floor boards. He stood and walked away. Everyone watched silently in shock at the Taisho who had spoken his mind.
"He didn't mean it!" The Okami hurriedly said apologizing, and shaking her hands in a fashion as if, disregard everything, please? Kyoko hurried over, her head hung low, "I apologize for his behavior Tsuruga-san." Both blushing, they bowed their heads to me in shame. "It's not a problem, for the words he said were true ones. It isn't your place to apologize, but mine. I'm very sorry Okami-san." I said, bowing my head to her. "Oh, please don't apologize, it isn't your place too. We apologize, Kyoko-chan, would you please show him around for me? I need to speak to Taisho.." she said hurrying off.
"I apologize for him again, Tsuruga-san..." Kyoko said quietly. "Goodness, Mogami-san, would you stop apologizing? It's fine, now please would you mind showing me around?" he said gently smiling. "Oh.. Ye-yes, sure." she said, motioning me to follow her with her hand, she began to walk towards a staircase.
Once we reached the top, she began to walk down the upstairs hallway some, and then opened a door to the left. "Here, this is my room, the only place you haven't been too yet." she said sheepishly. She opened the door, and walked in, and followed behind her in tow.
