Knock, knock.
"Come in." I say, closing out of Fictiopress. Kaoru came in with a small smile on his face.
"Ne, Emi-chan, are you ready to go?" He asked, I nodded my head, closing my laptop and putting it on my desk he outstretches his hand, but instead, I just walk right pass him. I could feel him rolling his eyes at me, but hey, who cares? We head downstairs to the living room where Hikaru was lazily sitting on the couch(I wish I was doing that.. ;-;)
"Eh? You guys ready to go?" Hikaru asked, getting up suddenly and walking over. I shrugged while Kaoru nodded.
"Ittekimasu!" We all say, although, it's not like there was much of a response, but that was okay to me.. Okay, not really, but the twins didn't really seem to care, so neither did I.
We all left outside to hop into the limo. Once we were all in, my brothers whispered something in the driver's ears and I roll my eyes, they didn't have to be THAT secretive. We all started to speed off to wherever they wanted to take me.
"So.." I start and they both look at me, "Where are we goi-"
"Ask that question and I'll have to rip out your tongue." Hikaru said, glaring draggers at me. WOAH! What did I even do? Last time I checked, I haven't seen them the whole day, except yesterday when we went to that amusement park and last time I checked, we were on pretty good terms then. I guess it's just back to it being me.
"Goodness, no need to be rude, it's just a question." I sassily say back, crossing my arms at him.
"Yea well-" Hikaru started, but Kaoru but his shoulder on his brother, shaking his head, making Hikaru shrink in his seat. Ha, that got him, but I seriously don't understand why he's such in a bad mood. Sometimes, I wonder what it'd be like if they ever went to my school. Although, my school is pretty group-ish and there would be NO absolute way I'd ever let those two in my group of friends. Just. No.
"Don't worry Emi-chan, we're almost there." Kaoru softly reassured, was that like suppose to be a peace-treaty or something? Because my patience with Hikaru is running REALLY thin. I mean, one minute he's hot then cold, nice then mean, black then white... okay, that didn't make sense, but you get what I mean.. right?
I started to tap my fingers impatiently as I waited for us to arrive there. I seriously hated surprises.
"You really hate surprises, don't you?" Hikaru asked, finally looking at me, with one of his eye brows raised.
I shrugged and replied, "W-well yea.. I guess."
The rest of the car ride was very silent, mostly with Hikaru and Kaoru staring out the window and me itching with curiosity. The wait was seriously killing me, and those two wouldn't just spill the beans! UGH.
Once we finally arrive, Hikaru and Kaoru were the first to get out, with me following behind them. Once we got out, I saw a beautiful restaurant, it was very traditional Japanese styled, with cherry blossoms surrounding it. Mi-Ai Restaurant. If my Japanese translating it means, Beautiful Love. That's fairly creative.. I guess.
"Sugoi ne(So cool)!" I gasped in awe, my brothers obviously pleased with my reaction.
"We knew you'd like it." They commented, a slight smug smile on their faces, I rolled my eyes at their arrogance and crossed my arms stubbornly.
I turned to them saying, "Yea, yea. Whatever, you guys got lucky that I like this type of Aura."
Hikaru raised his eye brow, asking with a smug voice, "So you like romantic Auras?"
"W-what?! No! I meant I like soft and kind and sweet auras." I reply, putting my hands up in defense. I did NOT know this was a romantic style, I'm just a huge fan of how I should say.. Girly atmospheres.
"Whatever." He said, rolling his eyes. My number one question is, why would they bring me here? Not that I'm not appreciative or anything, but why would they bring me to a romantic styled restaurant? I shrug the question off and follow them both inside. The waitress takes us to our seats, which were more like pillows.. on the floor. Do I seriously have to kneel? I'm going to get a knee cramp doing this! My brothers sat down on one side of the table, while I sat on the other side.
"This place is so cute!" I praised, smiling widely as I looked around with interest. I guess this surprise is pretty good, I'll have to give them credit for that. Suddenly, a waiter came up to us, he seemed so familiar!
"Hey there, welcome to, " He looked up from his ordering note book, and I totally recognized him! It was Megan's cousin, Justin!, "E-emiko?!" I nodded smiling brightly, my brothers confused of what was going on.
"O. M. G! It's so good to see you again! Megan told me you were living in Japan! So how are you?!" I asked, genuinely happy. Justin is 16 years old now, he moved when he was 10. I haven't seen him since, I heard he was doing good. We were on pretty cool terms.
"Yea, and wow! You're pretty tall now! I remember when you were 8 and you were as short as a 6 year old!" He teased and I stuck my tongue out at him, yes, it is true I used to be pretty short. Not that I'm SUPER tall or anything, but I'm fairly tall for the average Japanese girl.
"Can we-"
"-Order now?" My brothers asked in an impatient tone.
I looked at their unpleased faces but ignored it and introduced, "Oh, Justin! These are my two brothers, Hikaru and Kaoru! Guys, this is Justin, Megan's cousin."
He nodded his head, smiling friendly at them, but they only slightly smiled, before asking again, "Can we order now?"
"Sure! Ladies first, " Justin turned to me, "E, what do you want to drink?"
"Hmm... I'll take a sprite!" I say smiling, but Justin scrunches up his face and says, "Meh.. you'll get fat if you drink that."
I roll my eyes and say, "Okay.. how about a diet sprite?" He scrunches up his face again, teasing me and saying, "You'll get cancer... How about water?"
I glare at him jokingly and say, "Nuu.. Water sucks and you know it!"
"Just give her the sprite." Hikaru commanded, slightly glaring at Justin. What's up with him?
"No I wanted... Orange juice...?" I say, slight unsureness in my voice, obvious to the actual attention that was going on in there.
Justin had a shocked look, "Wait, seriously E? After that whole argue you choose something completely different?" He stifles his laugh while I wink in a way that says 'Just 'Cuz'. Hikaru rolled his eyes turning away from the both of us.
Kaoru turned to his brother before turning back to us and saying, "Hikaru and I will take water, we must excuse ourselves for the moment." They both got up and left, probably going to the restroom or something, I shrug at them and continue to focus on Justin.
"How's Lulu? I heard she's really pretty!" I comment, slightly in a praising tone. Lulu is Justin's girlfriend. Megan told me about her 3 years ago... which means they've been dating for 3 years. I heard she's very nice and pretty.
Justin day dreamily said, "Oh! Yea she's really beautiful. She's doing good, " he then gave me a surprised look, "I'm super surprise though! You are actually complementing instead of insulting them! That's a big step Ms. Ice Princess."
I roll my eyes, crossing my arm and defensively saying, "Hey! I stopped being an ice princess ever since I met Cami!"
"But still, how do you just.. block out everyone like that and be so independent, it's like.. you're in your own little world." He says, thoughtfully looking up as if he was in deep thought.
I shrugged saying, "I'm not sure.. I mean the you know what incident with my brothers.. I sorta felt like I had to build a barrier around myself. I mean come on! If they're my supposedly most trusted brothers and they tried to kill me, what makes you think other people wont hesitate."
"I guess I can't blame you, it's hard to trust other people when you've been hurt by your own family." He says, but then adds, "Sorry.. I don't mean to get so touchy-feely like that with you."
I smiled at him, he smiled back and said, "You know, I guess the saying is right."
Raising my eyebrow at him, he continues, "The saying 'The saddest people smile the brightest', 'The most loneliest of people are the kindest' and 'The most damaged of people are the wisest', you seem to have the brightest and prettiest smile a girl could have, plus your really nice when people get to know you. And when it comes to being wise and protecting your friends, you're there."
I slightly poked his stomach, saying, "Ey! No flirting, you have a girlfriend!"
"Ha, ha, whatever. But seriously, if you ever need someone to talk to, you know my number.. and my snapchat, Instagram, facebook, hangout-" He says but I interrupt, "Okay, okay I get it... thanks J."
He smiles, waving and leaving while I smile once again. I guess that saying is pretty accurate, but I doubt I'm really the saddiest, loneliest and most damaged, but it's still a thought. Once he was gone, my brothers came back with unhappy looks on their faces. I stare at them confused.
"Hey.. what's wrong?" I ask, tilting my head slightly.
"..." No response from either of them as they turned away from me, Kaoru's head facing the window and Hikaru's head facing the front counter. They honestly looked like they could cry, their eyes slightly glassy. I wonder what happened to them.. was it something I said before? I don't think I did anything wrong. They stayed silent for a few moments until Kaoru looked up at me.
"Ne, Emi-chan.. Were you excited to see us when you got here?" He asked, his voice slightly cracked.
Me, being obvious to the meaning of my answer, I responded, "Meh.. I don't know.. I guess sorta.."
"Hm." He says, going back to facing the window, I slightly frowned at this, did I say the wrong answer? I mean honestly, I was so NOT excited to see them, but.. I'm not THAT senseless.
Justin walked up to us and asked, "Hey, you guys ready to order food?"
I nodded frequently and my brothers just said, "Emi-chan is gonna order, we're not hungry."
I stare at them, but turn to Justin, asking, "Can I have teriyaki Salmon?" He puts my orange juice on the table, along with Hikaru and Kaoru's water, while nodding at my order.
"Sure, but I swear, you're gonna get fat." He teases, while about to walk away but Hikaru adds, "And get it to go." Justin looks at me for a moment while I shrug, either way, I get my salmon, so I don't care if how I get it. Justin then nods and walks away.
I narrow my eyes at my brothers, this has gone on too far! "Okay, seriously, what is up with you two? First you're all nice then you're total down in the dumps! So spill. What. Is. Up."
Hikaru glares back at me and says, "Not like you seriously care anyways. You weren't even excited to be here in the first place.. Nor excited to see us." He mumbled the last part that I couldn't hear. I roll my eyes, is he seriously going to be so rude and chldish? Just because I wasn't excited to be in Japan doesn't mean that I didn't like it, nor them.
"Hmph." I simply say, crossing my arms and facing the opposite way of Hikaru's way. If he wants to be like that.. FINE! I don't give a lick of what he cares about, never have, never will.
"Here's your um.. food." Justin said, holding a bag with my food in it. He slightly sweatdropped at the awkward silence filling the whole table, I slightly sighed at it too. The tension was growing stronger by the second.
"Thanks." Kaoru simply says, handing a credit to Justin. Once he paid for the meal, we all left the beautiful restaurant. I don't know if I'm upset or annoyed at them as we started heading towards our limo. The driver opened the door for us and we all got in, me getting in first and the twins following this time. I sat across from the two drags.
Ugh..
...
..
I CAN'T TAKE IT! The silence is killing me, and we still have 30 minutes until we get home.
"Am I allowed to eat in the car." I ask, looking inside the bag filled with curiosity.
"Duh." They both say, still refusing to even give me a slight glance. I shrug my shoulders and open up the box filled with salmon. Munching, I wait for the ride home that was the most awkward ride ever since the amusement park incident, and even THEN I thought we were on pretty fairly good terms.
I was sitting on bed, still trying to figure out everything that went on today. First, my brothers took me to a super cute restaurant. Second, I met Justin and he was as nice as ever. Third, my brothers were and are now super upset with me for some reason. Fourth, dinner was the most awkward time ever, even when mom and dad left the dining room, my brothers didn't peep a word the whole time.
In conclusion, this has been the most dramatic day for me. This even beats the amusement park and I thought nothing could top that. I should really keep my saying 'Another day another drama' because right now, it's the most dang accurate accusation. Ever.
Knock, knock.
Must be the maids, man.. I told them I didn't want them to clean my room.
"Come in." I say, slightly sighing as I got up, but was surprised to know who was really at the door.
Kaoru.
"Oh.. hey.." I greet sheepishly, not really sure what to say. Hey! Remember that awesome time when you guys completely ignored me at the restaurant, good times huh? Definitely not. He closes the door behind himself and looks dead into my eyes.
"Look, " he starts, his voice serious as our dad's, "We overheard you talking to that Justin dude."
So?
"Umm.. okay-"
"Tell me, what do you think happened at the.. incident." He commanded.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Er-what? What kinda question is that? Besides.. does it really matter..?"
"Emiko."
I was taken back by that. That was the first time I've ever call him by my first name. It's always Emi-chan... He must be pretty serious over.. Well, I don't know what!
I try to change the subject by saying, "Ugh! Does it seriously matter?! What's done is done!"
"I want to know what you think happened!" He raised his voice slightly, like Hikaru, what is up with him?
"Why are you so interested in what I think anyways?! I mean it's not like it seriously matters!" I raise my voice back at him. His eyes slowly grow calmer, relaxing his shoulders he softly asks, "I just want you to hear both sides of the stories before you jump into conclusions. Now please, What. Do. You. Think. Happened?"
I was seriously fed up and annoyed by his personality changes, "Ugh! I don't know okay! I don't know what I believe why does it even matter to you!?" Suddenly it went so quick. I was pushed onto my bed, with Kaoru hovering on top of me, grabbing my hands and pulling them both over my head. He had a different look in his eyes, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't a look I've ever seen before.. Atleast I don't think so.
"Because we love you. You. Are. Ours." He says with a different tone in his voice.
And with that, he quickly lowered his head and put his lips onto mine, I then realized the look in his eyes and I don't think I've ever been so afraid before in my life.
Lust.
