Chapter 4 - Meeting you
Yozora's mom felt guilty about the sudden set-up arrangement with Yozora and the Akiyama Family's Kenji.
She felt dejected about Yozora's reaction. She knew somehow she had hurt her by deciding her wheel of life just like that. She knew that Yozora would never want to be married to someone she never truly loves.
Thinking about this makes her really guilty and out of the blue she walked out of the telephone and dialed the house phone of the Akiyama family.
"Hello Kae Akiyama here" A feminine voice on the other end of the line said
"Hi Kae its me Emiko..." She said lightly
"Oh Emiko! I am excited about tomorrow. So what gives? Change of plans?"
"Um... Kae... Yozora came back today and I told her everything about tomorrow. I have a little request. You see Yozora... Well... She doesn't really like with this plan and all but she agreed to do it for his father... But I still felt guilty about all of this so...About that request"
"Oh I know girl stuffs... Kenji is anticipating to meet Yozora. He was shock to know this but he gets the whole concept of all this and for his father. What's that request"
Emiko gulped and remembered about the contract about the land where the Mikazuki estate stood is mortgaged to the Akiyama family and the only payment of that is the Akiyama family's Kenji and Mikazuki family's Yozora's Marriage is the only defrayal for all this.
"I want Kenji and Yozora to get along together so I am giving the both of them some time and can I at least tell Yozora that if this doesn't go well. She didn't have to marry Kenji but I am just going to lie to her, we can't break a major contract if Yozora or Kenji married off someone else. Yozora and Kenji needed some time together" Emiko said behind the line
"Of course its fine if you tell her that let's talk about all of this tomorrow"
Kae said as Emiko smiled a lot
"Thank you so much Kae! Goodnight. See you tomorrow"
And with that the telephone connection is off and Emiko went skipping to where Yozora is.
*Knock *Knock *
"Its open"
Emiko entered the room where Yozora and Kuroh
"Kuroh's asleep... I'll just let him sleep beside me. What do you need?"
Yozora asked nonchalantly while she tucked the little boy in bed.
"Yozora... I know you're confuse about all of this but... Give Kenji a chance like a dry-run or something. Be together and find out if you two are comfortable with each other...Only you and Kenji would know if you're compatible with each other" Emiko trailed off as Yozora stared at her sighing. Emiko swallowed a huge lump on her throat, nervous "If you two aren't compatible and comfortable with each other then... I won't force you to marry Kenji but if he is alright with you and you're alright with him then we'll arrange the wedding a few weeks after your 18th birthday" Emiko said as Yozora's eyes narrowed.
"Ok fine... What choice could I make in a time like this... I'll go and take a bath now... Can you prepare something for me to wear. I only bought a few set of clothes that I bought from the internet and some of my swimsuits. I didn't knew that I was staying in here for a long time..." She said as Emiko nodded in response
"I'll give it to you tomorrow... Goodnight Yozora"
Emiko said as she slowly walked out of the room and closed the door behind her leaving Yozora in it.
Yozora bit her lip and left Kuroh asleep on her bed and went to the bathroom. She stripped down her uniform and undergarments before tossing it on the hamper inside her bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and submerged in it...
Yozora Mikazuki's Point of View
I don't even know what to do anymore... Mom says that me and that Kenji-guy should have our dry-run. Well she is right. Did she felt guilty about this? It's not her fault its not also dad's fault. I know that Dad just wanted me to have a good future. What I can't accept is that they both defied the right fate for me. Have me arranged marriage to someone that I don't really love- more like -I don't even know. It's just too cruel
They didn't even consider what I feel about all this. They didn't consider my life in Tokyo...
Ugh... I hope he's not too flashy or a weirdo, for god's sake its my whole life they're talking about here!
Its a tiring a day today a lot has happened. When I woke up this morning I was still in Tokyo and then I was at st. Chronica's Academy then now here am I in Kyoto soon to enter St. Celeste Academy and arranged married to some guy named Kenji Akiyama. A lot has happened today...
I wore my bed clothes and went out of the bathroom before plopping down slowly beside my sleeping cutie little nephew and fell into a deep slumber...
*The next day*
When I woke up Kuroh wasn't beside me anymore maybe he was eating breakfast downstairs. I looked around and found a dress hanging on the handle of my dresser. This must be the dress I requested to mom. It was colored white on the upper part and the mid part separating it has a black belt and the skirt was red and also the cuff and the peter-pan collar and as I look down I also saw a black strappy maybe 2 or 3 inches heels.
I only bought few set of clothes that I never got to wear when I was in Tokyo because they all commented on how it brings out my cute side which I didn't really like. They were halters, crop tops and stuffs that I don't think decent enough for me to wear when I meet with my umm.. Maybe fiance is the right word for it and also his parents.
I went downstairs after my morning routine and I was immediately greeted by Kuroh and Mom. She asked me to sat down which I did soon before she took out a plate and served me a hearty breakfast.
"You should be ready by 11:30 so we could arrive on time at the lunch meeting with Kenji and his parents alright?' I heard mom said as I started eating and nodded my head.
When I finished I realized that it was already 10 am so I scurried over to my room grabbed my towel and took a bath.
I finished after a few and changed into the clothes I saw awhile ago. It fitted perfectly to me. I guess mom's been buying clothes even if I left home to study in Tokyo.
I combed my hair and clipped to the mid.
I guess this will do...
I went down and saw my Mom all ready with Kuroh "Oh it looks good on you. Let's go to the car and hurry up it's almost 12:00" Mom said as we all went outside and she locked the door and went to her car.
As mom drove, Kuroh sat beside me and not that long we arrived at the said restaurant.
It was really fancy good thing Mom knows how to pick a dress. We walked into a private room and saw a family of three already inside
"Kae!" Mom called out as she walked over to a girl with petite height and did a friendly kiss
"Leo!" She called out again doing a friendly hug "Kenji" Mom greeted hugging the guy.
So he's Kenji huh? He's... Handsome in a way... Ocean blue eyes and has a dark brown hair with a fair complexion.
"I am glad we arrived on time oh this is Yozora Mikazuki" Mom said pointing me out as I stepped in and bowed "Good afternoon" I greeted as they smiled and motioned me to sat down next to that guy. I gulped and did what they told me too. This Kenji guy's decent and seems nice but also, I think he has a smug attitude.
"So we planned on a dry-run for Kenji and Yozora. I really like her and she's a perfect match for Kenji " That guy which is I think Kenji's dad said
"What kind of dry-run is that? I mean what will Yozora do with Kenji" Mom asked. I didn't budged a word and so did Kenji
"Well we're still planning on what to do with them. Yozora you came from Tokyo right?" The girl said which is I know Kenji's Mom said "I did studied at St. Chronica academy, before I came back here because of matters" I said as she smiled
"So did you had a boyfriend Yozora?" She asked again as I shook his head...
"No... I didn't have one" I answered as the food arrived and started serving the appetizer which is a garden salad
"I am surprised that you didn't had even one. You're really pretty and sociable also you have beautiful figure" She said again as I smiled and muttered a small 'thank you' to her
We started eating the salad as the adults started talking about stuffs and I saw at the corner of my eyes that Kenji stopped and looked at me
"I am Kenji, I heard that you're studying at St. Celeste on Monday. I'll be happy if you come with me and I'll tour you around so you wouldn't be confuse at the Academy grounds" He offered in seemingly cool voice. I bet this guy is popular geez... I have to deal with girls again if the students knew about this. I nod my head
"I am Yozora... I am good with you touring me around the Academy grounds if you're fine with it" I said as the adults looked at each other and smiled as they continued to chit-chat.
"You two kids should walk around the garden at the back after lunch and get to know each other we're going to talk about your dry-run" Kenji's dad said
"I am fine with that. You good with it?" Kenji turned to ask me as I nod my head in response "Yeah I am good with it" I answered
The lunch went on and on the main course came and after that the desert which I din't really ate much because I am too full. Kenji's a nice guy but I hope he doesn't became turned off when he knew about the real me at when I was in st. Chronica
"You go along now kids. Kenji you might want to tour Yozora around if you two want too. We'll be staying here for awhile and have a tea-break to talk about your dry run. Have fun" Kenji's dad said as he nodded and stood up. I also stood up
"Let's go Yozora" Kenji smiled as I looked at my mom who nodded her head and I started walking out back with him...
The garden was beautiful, filled with flowers and a beautiful greenery scene around it
Kenji and I started walking around it and I was amazed by his intelligence around the flowers. He's geeky in a way but also smug and has a prince-like character
We settled down together in a bench
"Are you alright with this marriage thing cause I don't want to force you to get married with me if you don't want too"
"I am doing this for my father... I am fine with it... only the dry-run is the solution for that if we're comfortable and compatible with each other"
"I am fine with you even without that dry-run. They like you for me. I like you for me but I don't know if you like me for you" He said. Talk about boldness. I blushed at what he said and couldn't utter a word for the first few minute
"Y-You might get turned off when you learned everything about me. I am not actually the princess kind of girl like everyone thinks I am... I am hot headed and I am jealous of famous people... I don't have any true friends way back in St. Chronica. I know myself to well" His eyes lit up when I said it
"Really? I don't really care about that. I am determined and I can cope up with you whatever trait you have. I get a lot confession up until now but I always turned them down because I know that they aren't right for me. I don't want to be famous at school. I just want to be a normal student I don't get why they liked me even If I don't. I hope you won't hate me for it... I really hope you won't. I'll be happy when the world knows that I have you as my fiance and they would stop bothering me" He said frowning
I don't know why but my perspective of famous people changed right now what could Kenji do. He has the looks and the attitude of a person fit for popularity not some guy who runs to be famous with an ugly attitude,
"I understand you and I won't change the way how I look at you even if you're so famous. I know that you don't like it and you didn't meant for it to happen so... I am fine with just the way you are I should be the one nervous that you might change the way you look at me, as they said at St. Chronica. I am judgmental and I am a mean person" I said as he stared at me
"They're jealous of you because you have everything. You're not mean and a bad person. I can see it deep down within you. You're a nice and caring person I can feel it. All of those people who said those mean words to you are insensible. They're not aware of your good sides" He said which kinda made me feel a little bit better about myself.
"Thank you Kenji... I- I think you're a lot better than a friend of mine in St. Chronica academy named Kodaka" I suddenly said as his eyes widened a little. What the hell were you thinking Yozora. You just met but I wanted to tell him this story so I wouldn't be hiding anything from him.
"A guy?" He asked as I nodded
"one of the reason why I left Tokyo is because of that guy. It's partially my fault to fell in love with a person like him. I kinda regret falling from my child-hood friend like that when he has Sena"
He frowned at what I said
"Can you tell me everything about it?" He asked as I nodded my head
I have to change the way I think right now. I have to accept Kenji because he is right for me and I know I won't experience any pain when I am with him. All I did way back in Tokyo is wait for Kodaka to fell in love with me but I already knew that he only sees me as a friend and nothing more than that and I feel so stupid for knowing that and yet I didn't do anything about it and kept on hoping that someday he'll notice my feelings that I am in love with him. I waited until he was about to confess to Sena and just broke my heart from the most stupid thing I did. I told Kenji everything about Kodaka, Sena and my past life when I am in Tokyo he felt bad about what happened and why I left Tokyo. I even let him see the picture of the neighbor's club members at my phone
"That's what happened to me..." I slowly said finishing my story which took a full thirty minutes of talking.
"That Kodaka guy... He's an idiot for not noticing you, a stupid idiot for hurting you. That perverted guy who likes nothing but that Sena with over-sized chest and nothing else compare to you...But thanks to him you're with me now even if were still on dry-run. I will never hurt you like that. I will never ever be that kind of guy. He didn't see you Yozora..." He trailed off frowning his eyes downcast on the white brick road. I felt tears burned my eyelids but wiped it using my fingers
"Even if he called out to you when you left... Its too late already... I am sorry you had to tell me those ugly memories... Just give me the chance to be with you and I'll ebb that pain away. I'll introduce you to happiness" He said sadly picking a white flower and tucked it behind my ear
"Thank you Kenji... Let's try and maybe we can see results..." I said before his phone started vibrating and he saw a call from his mom.
He answered it immediately and I heard a few talks about this and that. When he placed down his phone he said that they'll be telling us they're plan for the dry-run and asked us to go back to the restaurant.
"Let's go" I said refraining my tears from falling "Here" He handed me is handkerchief and he started wiping my tears "I don't want them to get the wrong idea that I made you cry because I want to prove aunt Emiko that I will never hurt you" He said as I grabbed on to handkerchief and nodded. A few moments later I felt fine and stopped crying for good and we both headed back to the restaurant to talk about the dry-run
