Kimiko,
I'm sorry this is so late. You won't believe me when I tell you that I work TWO jobs, and go to school, but that's what has been keeping me away from writing you back. I've made a new… friend or two. They aren't very social but I guess that's okay, and their nothing like you, and Clay, and Omi, of course. So yeah, tell me everything… Love you, Miss you.

Kimiko took in a deep breath and set the letter down on her desk. She'd expected something much longer but then again Raimundo was never an overachiever, despite he sounded like one. It wasn't that she was angry; it was just that she wanted to hear every last detail. What he had for dinner, how many times he wrote the word 'the'… she had become quite obsessive over this boy. Mostly though, she was sad, because he was living a separate life and she couldn't pull herself too. Keiko had emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped tightly around her hair.
"Everything okay?" she asked, wondering what had replaced the excited aura in the room with a very down, glum one.
Kimiko stood up and painted a smile on her face, "Everything's perfect…!"
Keiko nodded and smiled, "Yeah… Yeah…" she quit nodding her head and held out a finger, her smile turning upside down, "You better not be lying to me…"
Kimiko bit her lip and handed Keiko the letter, falling back on the chair and letting out a groan. Keiko's eyes quickly scanned the letter and she set it down gently.
"At lest he wrote back?" she tried to reassure Kimiko.
Kimiko nodded, "He's got friends…"
Keiko laughed, "Well what did you think? He was going to live his life in complete and utter loneliness until he could find his way back to you? Sounds like he's enjoying himself, maybe you should too…" she raised an eyebrow indicating she was plotting something.
Kimiko rested her head on her hand, damp hair sliding its way between crevices in her fingers, "I…"
"Don't even try that with me! You don't enjoy anything anymore… You're like a limp noodle… It's painful to watch!" she slid the towel onto the floor and walked back into the bathroom pulling through the tangled, black, mess with a brush.
Kimiko stared at the stack of papers that had collected on her desk, lots of boring things, a few phone numbers, some invitations, and some school stuff. Sliding the letter underneath her to do pile, she put a smile on and walked into the bathroom, pulling out a blow dryer and sitting on the counter next to Keiko.
"You think I should have some fun, eh?" Kimiko questioned.
Keiko turned to her and smirked, "Some fun? I think a lot of fun is much more appropriate for the situation we're in…"
The two girls giggled and got to work, noise erupting in the small bathroom, able to be heard all the way through the home.
"You know!" Keiko said brushing some eye shadow on her lids, "I think I know somebody just perfect to get your mind off of Raimundo! He's so brilliant-,"
"It's a he?" Kimiko questioned placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Keiko.
"Well..." the girl mumbled trying to wipe the smirk of her face, "It may just be a boy… But let me finish, he's smart, he's charming, cute, HILARIOUS, and is so laid back! Kimi he's everything you need."
Kimiko shook her head, "He's everything I have… except for maybe the smart part BUT no, Keiko!"
Keiko huffed, "What are you cutting yourself off from all males? Have you ever heard of a GUY friend? Kimiko! Just talk to him, I met him like two years ago he's real sweet, I promise!"
Kimiko shook her head, "I don't want to meet new people, I WANT to go somewhere… Let's hop on a plane and just leave!"
Keiko glanced out of the side of her eye, "Go somewhere? Like where?" she was practically bouncing up and down, the only traveling the girl had done lately were boring trips where she sat around in a hotel for most of it, with Kimiko she knew their would be excitement.
"Let's go to… Brazil." Kimiko smiled flashing both her bottom and top teeth.
Keiko frowned, "You only want to go there so you can see him!"
Kimiko shook her head, "That is NOT the only reason I want to go there! I want to go there for the shopping and the dancing and…"
Keiko raised an eyebrow, "How great do you really think it's going to be?"
Kimiko huffed, "It'll be different! Come on Keiko, we've seen everything else, Brazil will be different and I promise I won't even look for Raimundo."
Keiko hunched forward on the sink, "Fine, but only because I have nothing better to do and I swear if…"
"YAY!" Kimiko jumped up and wrapped her arms around the other girl, "Go home, go pack!! We're going to Brazil!"
Keiko scrunched her noise in displeasure, "You're so…" she couldn't hold back her smile any longer, "Alright IT'LL be a blast!"
Kimiko nodded and placed a hand on her friend's shoulder, "That it will!"
Keiko turned on her heel to leave the estate while Kimiko walked her to the door. Her friend disappeared quickly living Kimiko alone in her palace. She sighed and ran back towards her room, digging through the piles of paper until she could find the letter. Once it was in her hands she quickly pulled it into her chest, cradling it and letting out a long sigh. She traced her fingers along the edges as she read it over just one more time. Before she left, before she packed, before she thought about flights, she would reply to his letter but she would not send it, didn't want to seem like she was waiting around. Secretly her ploy was to find Raimundo in Brazil although that seemed rather impossible. Instead she decided she'd go for the fun, for the dancing, for the shopping, and all the things she went anywhere else for. She wanted to enjoy herself instead of moping around and now she didn't have to wait around for a letter, it was there in her hands.
Quickly grabbing a pen and some paper she started writing a detail letter, thinking it had much to much information she threw it away and started over again, only mentioning she would be taking a trip soon but never mentioning where she would be going.
A/N: Yay! I'm finally getting somewhere. :P - rolliepollie44
Sorry, this was a later update and it wasn't a very enteraining one at that...
But, the next few chapters should get more interesting?
Thanks for reading, reviewing, etc. :)
