Chapter Three:
" Miss Yumi Ishnoto"
(check out and re-read chapter 2. I edited it and changed the final scene!)
" So…have you decided where you'll attend university or college?"
" More school?!?! Are you crazy, old man?"
" No…Just slightly worried that you're grades are below F's"
" Below F's? What the hell kind of grade is beyond an F?"
" Well if you don't get an F for Fail, you defiantly get a OMGUF"
" What the hell is an OMGUF?"
" Oh My God…You failed!"
" Huh?"
" Seriously, Takao…you better start thinking about your future,"
" Sure…..in a million years," Takao mumbled. He stared down at the floor, whistling an innocent tune while his grandfather glared at him with evil, narrowed eyes. Takao just grinned at his grandfather and took off without a word.
" TAKAO!"
" So…still mad at Kai for the skirt?"
" Hai."
" Just clean it."
" I can't!"
" Why not, Hiromi?"
" It was an expensive jean skirt!"
Marium rolled her eyes and took a sip at her smoothie.
It was Wednesday afternoon, and the girls were at the mall, desperately in search of a costume to wear on Friday at the ball. Currently, Hiromi was whining about Kai and her skirt then back to Kai, then back to the skirt. Honestly, you'd think the girl was just crazy about those two topics. Mao, Marium, and Emily were finishing their smoothies, as they sat next to the babbling Hiromi.
" What do you girls want to do now?"
Emily had asked this question five minutes earlier, but no answer popped up. Frustrated, the American girl sighed and took her cell phone out of her pocket. She began to go through a list of names and tried to decide who to call.
Max Tate?
No…Marium won't be too pleased with me.
Kinomyia Takao?
No…By the looks of it, Salima won't like it either.
Kai Hiwatari?
God no! Hiromi-chan would murder me if I did…
Kon Rei?
No! No! No! He is uncharted territory. Mao made that pretty clear.
Mimoshi Kyouju?
Eh………he is pretty nice and smart. Maybe I'll call him.
" Hello----? Anyone in there?"
" Huh?"
Emily snapped out of her daze to find Mao waving a hand before her eyes.
" I-I'm listening."
" Right," Marium said dryly. She rolled her eyes and stood up, throwing the smoothie cup into the trash. Raising an eyebrow at Emily, who was still debating whether to or not call Kyouju, Mao- who had a compact mirror out; gazing at herself, and Hiromi- who was still rambling on about the skirt and Kai . Marium snorted; she shook her head and muttered something about 'stupid friends…'.
" Hiromi? Enough about Kai already; we still need dresses for the Halloween Ball," Mao said. She snapped her compact mirror closed and placed it back into her purse. Quickly taking out her cell phone, she punched in a few numbers and pressed 'call'.
" Moshi-moshi? Kinto? Are you there? Yes…My friends and I need Halloween Ballroom gowns quick. No…No. Just Marium, Emily, and I. Hai…Ie…Fine," Mao mumbled into her cell phone.
" Mao? Who's Kinto?" Emily asked.
" We'll see you in five," Mao confirmed. She turned to Emily and winked, " Kinto is a very dear friend of mine. He owns a store right here in the mall! Specials: Ballroom Gowns!" Mao squealed delightfully as she and Hiromi jumped up and down. Salima offered an apologetic smile to Emily who looked a bit spaced out.
" Ballroom Gowns? But, it's a Halloween Ball. Aren't you supposed to be dressed up scary?" Emily asked, clearly puzzled.
" Nope. Rei and I are going formally dressed. That's our costume; a Lady and Lord."
" Yeah, well…Max asked me a couple days ago…so I…..," Marium stated. She whistled innocently as the girls dropped their mouths open.
" Hey, are you waiting to catch flies in there?"
" Oh…gomen, but, Marium! Max asked you and you never told us?!" Hiromi shrieked. She looked as if she were about to faint. Mao was waving an imaginary fan in front of her.
" Yeah, well…We plan to go as a fairy and an elf," Marium shrugged. She didn't care what her friends thought.
" AN ELF AND A FAIRY?" Salima yelped. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as a black wave crashed over her.
" Oh…Salima's gone and fainted. Tsk, Tsk, can't say I blame her," Mao said. She sighed and started to snap her fingers in front of Salima's face. That woke up the red-head instantly.
" Faries and elves…"she mumbled under her breath.
" So, Kai…"
" I'm not telling you, baka."
" But, please…….?"
" Hmph."
" Alright; alright. You don't have to be such an ass, Mr. Grumpy," Takao said. He stuck his tongue out playfully at a stubborn Kai.
" Yo."
" Oh, hey Rei."
Takao smiled warmly at the dark-haired friend. He- Rei- was the one person who didn't judge him cruelly these days. He didn't contradict him on his schoolwork or blading, or even his diet. Apart from Max, Rei was a true, kind, wise friend. Something Takao was grateful for….eternally.
" Where'd Max go?" Rei asked, looking around the comfy, well decorated room.
" Oh…Max? He went to Kyouju's apartment to work on Draciel's attack ring," Takao chirped, happy to see his friend.
" Okay. Listen, I called Mao and she's at the mall with all the other girls. Apparently, Salima fainted after Marium released some -ahem- interesting news," Rei said. He smirked and chuckled as an afterthought appeared to him.
" Oh….What?"
" Marium told the group she and Max were going to the ball on Friday."
Kai raised an eyebrow; he rarely got involved in his baka friends personal lives, but this- this was intereseting indeed. Hiromi mentioned this to him a while ago, he hadn't really paid attention then. But know, this piece of news was freshing his memory.
" So? I thought Max liked that girl," he said gruffly.
Takao nodded his head fervently, saying, " Yeah. Max liked that violet girl"
Rei chuckled again.
" Well…did he tell you he was going as an elf? And Marium as a faerie?"
"………………..," was Kai's silent reply.
And as for Takao, he held his breath; his face contorted with laughter as pink flushed his cheeks and purple marred his neck…
" N-NANI?!"
" Mr. Shinomori?"
" Hm? Ah…yes, Miss -?"
" Ishnoto"
" Yes, Ishnoto-san. What can I for you?"
The dark haired lady sighed; she smiled ruefully at the middle aged man. Batting her thick, long eyelashes, she sauntered up to him, prodding her index finger into his stocky chest. With her other hand, she twisted the soft, silky curls around her face. Smirking, she ran her hand up and down his chest, purring at him softly.
" Oh, no no no. Please…call me Yumi."
" Kamyia-san, what business do you hold with me here?"
The balding man looked at her with starving eyes. He ignored her last remark and continued to push Yumi off, walking around his office and opening the door for her to leave.
" My, my…Aoshi. Please, my son attends school here. And his grandfather is holding him here. He took my dear son away from me. I've been looking for him for years."
Quickly, she sauntered up to him again. This time, closing the door and bringing a finger to his lips. Shinomori shivered slightly under her touch, and tried pushing her away. Yumi kept her hold firm and leaned in closer to the principal.
" My son, that's all I ask for," she purred, her breath tickling Shinomori's nose.
" And who, my dear woman, might that be?"
" Why Kinomyia- Takao Kinomyia."
" So…Enrique?"
" Hmm? Yeah Oliver?"
" What's the deal between you and Hiromi?"
" I dunno. She's cute, smart, funny…I think I've fallen in love."
" Enqrique..You should be careful."
:" Why?"
" 'Cause- you see- there's been some rumors floating around about Hirmoi-and-"
" WHAT?! WHO'S TALKING S--- ABOUT HIRMOI? I'LL KILL 'EM!"
" No…nothing like that. Its just that-"
" What? Spitt it out man!"
" People have been saying she's with Kai now."
" K-Kai?"
" Yep."
" Hiwatari?"
" Oui."
" Hirmoi with Kai…Hiwatari?"
" Uh-huh.
Enrique fell to the ground with a thud. The coke he was sipping spilled into the carpet and stained the prestite beige into a dark, ugly brown color.
" Whoops."
