CHAPTER 7:
After eating dinner, Kai and Acchan head to the living room, while Yukirin and Nami-chan was stayed behind, as it’s Yukirin’s turn to wash the dishes, while Nami help her dry it. While Minako head upstairs to sleep early..
“So what did she tell you?”Kai asked as he went to sit on couch.
“Uhmm…she….. asked….me….what….I’m…scared…of….?”Acchan said the pausing in every word and blushed.
“So….uhmmm….so what you are… scared of Atsuko?”Kai looked at her in the eye.
“I w-was …scared….of…losing…YOU.”Acchan blushed not meeting Kai’s gaze.
“I’m sorry…I didn’t …really mean to scarier you… and to make you...cry….is the last thing I wanna do.”Kai said
“I know…its ok …so what did Nami-chan told you?”Acchan asked this time she’s the one looking at Kai straight in his beautiful eyes.
“She told me that, I’ll soon thank her for doing… what she did…”Kai started as he also looked at her in the eyes
“Ohh…is that all…? Then why did she say Opps out loud?” Acchan asked curiously. Kai blush furiously
“Uhmmm….When I thank her for what…she did…I think she misunderstood it….”Kai explain still blushing getting redder by the minute
“What do you mean she misunderstood you and Why did you Thank her for causing to fall down the stairs.”Acchan asked
“Uhmm…well…I thanked her…because….y-you h-hugged me. “ Kai bit his lower lip and slowly avert his gaze from Acchan who turn red again.
“Uhmm…what was the misunderstanding?” Acchan asked still looking at Kai as she also getting redder
“Uhmmmm….she thought…. that I somehow …somewhat….knew that… y-you…L-love…m-me?”Kai is now red as a tomato. Atsuko’s didn’t say anything
and just like Kai, red as a tomato…..there was silence…..Acchan was deep in her thought
‘Do I tell him…that his right…I do like him…but I still don’t know him well enough? ‘Acchan thought
“Neh…Atsuko…please say something….I don’t want to guess…or even speculate….about it…just…please…gave me a proper answer…its killing me…inside…when you...”Kai was interrupted as a soft lips pressed against his lip. Kai was surprise by the sudden Acchan of but kissed her back. It was a soft, sweet kiss. Then Acchan broke the kiss and looked at Kai in the eyes.
“Y-yes…I do…l-loved you…Kai” Acchan softly said.
“And I…loved…You too… Atsuko…since the first time I saw you.” Kai confessed, and then kissed Acchan once more but this time more passionately,
caressing Acchan’s cheek as they kissed. Acchan wrapped her arms around Kai’s neck.
Nami-chan and Yukirin giggled. The two have been watching Kai and Acchan, they finished the dishes quite sometime ago but the two just couldn’t interrupt Kai and Acchan and besides they didn’t Yukirin and Nami-chan so they waited a bit and then they think they’ve waited long enough, they walked to them.
“Cough* Cough*” Yukirin interrupt the two
Kai and Acchan broke the kiss and looked up who the person coughed. They both blushed again as they saw Yukirin and Nami-chan behind her grinning at them.
“Sorry to interrupt you guys but…are you two officially together now?” Yukirin asked
“Uhmmm…when did you get here?.” Kai and Acchan both said… Kai looked at Atsuko asking her through his eyes if they’re officially a couple. Acchan just smiled then nod at him. Kai smiled back at her knowing what she meant
“Uhmm…I guess…WE ARE” Kai smiled to Yukirin and Nami-chan
“Were you eavesdropping on us!!!?”Acchan said. Yukirin and Nami-chan just smiled at her. Acchan shake her head in disbelief.
“CONGRATS KAI-KUN!!!!! ACCHAN!!!” Nami-chan congratulating them as she runs to hug Kai-kun
“You’re now officially my brother Kai-kun.” She added.
“Yah congrats Acchan, Kai-kun!!!” Yukirin still grinning at them. Then Yukirin pulled up Nami-chan and carry her, heading upstairs.
“What are you doing, Yukirin?” Nami-chan asked
“Well, it’s time for US Kids to go to bed and leave the ADULTS alone” Yukirin grinned evilly to Nami-chan
“Ohh!!! Ok!!! Fake yawn* well, Acchan, Kai-kun goodnight.” Nami said as she grinned back to Yukirin.
The two went upstairs and this time for sure, head to their rooms….As Kai and Acchan heard the sound of the door closing, they just sat on the couch, staying silent as they both tried to take in, all that just happened. Kai hold Acchan’s hand and Acchan return the gesture, their hands are interlocked together. Acchan put her head down on Kai’s shoulder, while Kai slightly put his head on Acchan’s head and remain like that a little longer. No one said a word, as they knew words aren’t necessary at this moment right now……………….
Kai broke the silence even though he much rather stay and treasure the moment with Acchan. But he remembered that he still needs to go and pick up Mariko-sama at the airport.
“Uhmmm…Acchan…aren’t you sleep yet?”Kai asked
“Hmm…?”Acchan said
“Well, as much as I want to stay like these with you…for like the whole night…but you need to rest…Will be leaving early to tomorrow.” Kai said
“I know, But…for some reason…I don’t feel sleepy……Are you leaving?” Acchan asked
“Yes... I have to go to the airport” Kai explained then saw Acchan pout
“Ohh…Come on don’t make that face.”Kai said as he lightly pinched both Acchan’s cheeks
“Why do you need to go to the airport anyways?” Acchan asked
“I have to pick up Mariko-sama and I still need to talk to the pilot who’ll take us to the beach.”Kai explained
“Mariko-sama?” Acchan raised an eyebrow
“Are you jealous?”Kai hugged Acchan
“Don’t be, she’s just like sister to me.” Kai reassure her, but Acchan didn’t say anything
“How about… I take you with me to the airport.” Kai suggested. Acchan smiled at him.
Acchan left Kai for a bit and went upstairs to her and Nami-chan’s room grabbed her light sweater and put it on. Then went to her Aunt’s room and told her that she’ll be out with Kai for a bit. Her Aunt still doesn’t fully trust Kai, but as she watched Kai for the past weeks, she notice that Kai truly cared for Acchan, and Acchan like wise, so she let Acchan go. Acchan went downstairs and walked towards Kai. Kai hold her hand again and left the house.
AT THE CLUBHOUSE
After The conversation, the guys went out of their room, all at the same time. They all looked at each other full of questions, but know that they don’t have the answers. Tomo only wearing his boxer-shorts left Tomo~mi on his bed sleeping and head to the lounge room. Riku noticed that he’s also just wearing his boxer-shorts went back inside his room, grabbed his jogging pants did bother to grabbed his shirt cuz it’s hot, and went to the lounge half-naked. The same with Tomo, Jun, was just wearing his boxer-short and followed Riku and Tomo at the lounge. Kuu went back to his room and just lay on his bed, spacing out.
Door Closed* …Footstep*….Door Open* as the guys heard and saw Sae entered the room
“Hey, Welcome back” Jun greeted
“Yah…”Sae said.
“Where did you go? “Riku asked
“Out…..need sometime to think” Sae said
“Ohh…Did Kai called you?” Tomo asked
“Yah…he told me about the trip…and asked me to get our plane ready” Sae smiled
“Ohh..Ok…so I guess your back to your old self now Sae…By the way did you… hear about Mariko-sama?” Jun asked.
“Yah…Kai sent me their live conversation… Bu did you know about it Tomo?”Sae asked
“Uhmm…no…I don’t check here schedules…I only know she just blew off something big, when I called dad after the live conversation.”Tomo said
“Uhhh…She truly is MARIKO-SAMA…she’s the only person I know that does something like that and gets away like nothing happened.”Riku said
“By the way, did Kai told you if his coming tonight?” Tomo asked
“No, he didn’t say anything….he only told me that his going to Yukirin’s house to invite them and besides he still need to pick up Mariko-sama at the
airport” Sae said
“Ohh, Yah… I guess he won’t come home tonight, I’m sure he’ll be chatting with her for the rest of the night.” Riku said.
“Yah …I guess will just see them in morning.” Tomo yawned
“Yah” Jun yawned
“….”Riku yawned.
“TIRED? I guess it’s so obvious since you’re at IT for like….what… the whole night?!” Sae teased
The three other guys just ignored him, they notice that Sae’s back to his old self again. They left the lounge room and went back to their own respective rooms to sleep, cuz they know they’ll need it.
AT THE AIRPORT
Acchan and Kai run inside the airport in locked hands as it sudden rain….Mariko-sama saw Kai entered the airport and was about to call him when Kai pulled out his handkerchief and wipe the water droplets on the girl who run inside the airport hand in hand. Mariko-sama tip toed towards Kai and the girl
“What are you doing?!” Mariko-sama suddenly asked
“Wow WHAT THE!!!” Kai exclaimed, as he turned around to see who it was. “Mariko-sama…!!! So scared.” Kai sighed in relief. Acchan kind of hide
behind Kai, ‘Is that….Shinoda Mariko...The worlds tops model?’ Acchan thought. Since Kai isn’t that tall enough to hide Acchan Mariko-sama notice her
“Who’s the girl with you K~A~I?”Mariko-sama teased….
“Ohh…She was the one I was talking about this morning.” Kai said as he showed Acchan to Mariko-sama with intertwined hands.
“You mean…the girl…You hope…no… You want to be the one…?”Mariko-sama
“Uhmm…Yes…” Kai said
“Hi I’m Maeda Atsuko….Please to meet you” Acchan introduced herself.
“Maeda….?Uhmmm….Hello, I’m Shinoda Mariko, and the pleasure’s all mine” Mariko-sama introduced herself too
“Uhmm…Mariko-sama before you asked more questions… I need to see the pilot and the private plane Sae prepared.”Kai said. Kai grabbed Mariko’s cart full of luggage and start pushing it.
“Why are you pulling my cart back inside, Kai?” Mariko-sama asked
“Well…we will be leaving this morning… so what’s the point of going to your house and come get your luggage back, when we’re here already at the airport?”Kai explained
“Well…you never mentioned that we’re leaving this morning.” Mariko-sama retort
“Well, I wasn’t sure at that time…” Kai said as he looked at Acchan on his right side.
“Ohh…So you we’re not sure if Maeda-chan will agreed…”Mariko-sama
“No.”Kai said
“So you were confident then?” Mariko-sama asked
“That’s not what I meant…It’s just her Aunt….”Kai explained
“Ohh…well…in the end she let her go.”Mariko-sama smirked
“Uhmm…Yah” Kai said
“Well…his good at making deals…that’s why…my aunt let us go.” Acchan finally spoke
“Yah…his good at that…especially if he WANT IT BADLY….”Mariko-sama agreed to Acchan. Acchan chuckled
‘Ohh…Now I know why Kai fall in love with this girl…’Mariko-sama thought as she saw how Acchan laugh.
“Say…are you by any chance related to the Maeda’s of Big 7?”Mariko-sama said as she’s been dying to know ever since Acchan introduce herself
“No…Mariko-sama….she’s nothing like those people.”Kai explained.
“Ohh…ok….So where are the plane and pilots?” Mariko-sama changed the subject
“It’s at the isolated section.”Kai said nearing this isolated section. He saw the pilots of the planed and hurriedly went there.
“Young Master Takahashi” The captain said
“Hello captain, I’m sure you’re aware why you’re called here”
“Yes...Young Master Miyazawa explains to us…but didn’t tell us where we are going to take you.”The captain said
“Sae doesn’t know the place since I didn’t tell them. It’s a surprise you see.”Kai explained
“So can you please tell us where this place is, Young Master Takahashi?”The captain asked
“………….So, can you take us there?”Kai almost in a whisper said to the captain, so that Mariko-sama and Acchan won’t hear where they are going
“Yes…Of course….But what time do you want tot leave Young Master?” The captain asked
“Let’s see…between 6 and 7 am….”Kai said.
“Ok, then please just call us, when you’re ready to leave. Then will see you later Young Master Takahashi.”The Captain said
“Uhmm… captain...do you mind loading these luggage to the plane?”Kai asked.
“Yes...of course...Sir…will take our leave then” The captain and the other pilot left pushing the cart full of luggage. Kai turned around and smile at them
“So…let’s go now?”Kai said then hold hands with Acchan
“Where?” Acchan asked
“To kill some time before our departure.” Mariko-sama smiled. With that said they all head out. Kai went to get his car and pick Mariko-sama and
Acchan who wait for him outside. Kai drove to Master’s resto-bar-club since that’s the only place where he knows they can talk privately.
AT MASTER’S RESTO-BAR-CLUB
Sound of Wind chime* the door swung open. There Acchan and with Kai holding hands and behind them Mariko-sama
“NO WAY!!!!”Master shouted as he saw Acchan holding hands with Kai entered his resto-bar-club and Mariko-sama behind them
“SSSHHH….Turn it down a bit Master…you’re making a scene.”Kai hush Master. People start staring at them…
“Is that Shinoda Mariko? No way!!! And Is that Takahashi Kai???!!! But who is he the girl his with?” Murmurs of the crowd.
Kai still holding hands with Acchan lead the way upstairs to the VIP room where Kai and his friends always used, behind them Mariko-sama and Master.
Kai turned the doorknob and open the door greeting to them a huge glass wall where you can see the bar-club downstairs, but the people down can’t see them.
“Wow!!! So the 3rd floor was a club, I didn’t know….Hey, Master this is where Yukirin first meet Sae, right” Acchan sat down on the couch.
“Ohh, so Yukirin told you about it, Acchan.” Master said
‘Acchan…? Where have I heard that name before?’Mariko-sama thought as she sat down too….
“What, I thought they meet at the clubhouse?” Kai confused
“Well, before that, She meet him here…………Master would sometimes called Yukirin to come over, to help, when he’s short in stuff….”Acchan explain….
“Hmm….so what happened?” Mariko-sama curious
“Well, Sae was drunk at that time, and he tries to flirt with Yukirin…..”Acchan explain
“Yah, He even made a scene, that night…It was mess.” Master added
“Well, that’s Sae!!! “Mariko-sama stated
“So when did you get back, Mariko?”Master asked
“Two hours ago…Kai and Atsuko-chan picked me up at the airport.” Mariko-sama grinned at the two.
“Master do you know…Shinoda-san?”Acchan asked
“Ohh please…just call me Mariko or Mariko-sama…I feel old just hearing that. Then I’ll call you Acchan.”Mariko-sama said
“Uhmm ok...Mariko-sama.”Acchan said
“Did you say OLD? Mariko-sama” Kai teased
“EWWWW…did I say that?”Mariko-sama asked looking disgusted. It’s like the word ‘old’ is the disgusting thing she can ever say. Well…Mariko-sama is 5
years older than Kai…so she can be consider old ….Kai chuckled
“Yes….I know her…Mariko was the one who introduce this place to Kai and his friends.” Master said to Acchan
“And by the way Acchan… since when did you get together with Kai?” Master asked, as he notices the two are still holding hands and sitting so close to
each other when the couch is so big….
“Yah… When you called me in the morning (Paris)…you guys are stills friends… and now you two… look like you can’t be separate.” Mariko-sama
chided. Kai and Acchan both blush still not letting there hands go
“Woooohhhhh!!!!!... Since when?!” Mariko-sama excitedly asked
“Before…we…picked…you…up” Kai blushed. Kai knows that he can’t hide anything from Mariko-sama. She’s like the older sister to the Big7‘s young
masters, and Kai is especially close to her. They have known Mariko since diaper days. Mariko started modeling at the Itano’s at the age of 5 and they
treat her like their own daughter.
“Kai…You move fast…I guess YOU REALLY WANT HER THAT BADLY!!!”Mariko-sama teased
“Uhmm, master the food?” Acchan asked to save Kai
“Ohh yah...I forgot…What do you wan to eat.” Master asked
“Please get me my usual… and Mariko-sama’s curry…what about you Acchan?”Kai said.
“Uhmm…I don’t know the name ….but the dish with a lot of tomatoes in it…I really love it” Acchan said to Master
“Yah… I can see why…you loved tomatoes so much that you can eat it everyday…like Mariko to curry. Then excuse me while I’ll get your orders.”Master said and left the room.
“I almost forgot, Kai…?”Acchan called
“Yah… what’s wrong?” Kai asked
“You still haven’t told me the reason for this trip?” Acchan said.
“You didn’t tell her?!….Well, he ONLY arranged this trip for you Acchan.” Mariko-sama explains as she smirk at Kai
“Yes …. And also you know what happened with Sae and Yukirin.”Kai added blushing
“Yah…now I get it…so that’s why you didn’t explain it to me earlier since Yukirin’s with us.”Acchan said
“Who is this Yukirin? Was she the reason why Sae is acting strange?” Mariko-sama curiously asked.
“Yah, she’s Acchan’s cousin… …We’re to help get those two together.” Kai said.
Then Master came in with their orders, put down the respective dishes in front of each one of them.
“Hmmm…yummy….I misses this curry...Master.”Mariko-sama compliment
“Yah…Yah…every curry is delicious to you…”Kai teased
“Yah…but I like Master’s curry best…”Mariko-sama said
Kai didn’t say anything and just continued eating…..After eating, they chat for awhile…then Kai notice the time saying it’s 5 in the morning. He stood
up, surprising the girls.
“We have to go….We still need to pick up Yukirin and Nam-chan…”Kai explain. With that said, both Acchan and Mariko-sama both get up and head out.
“Crap I almost forgot about the guys…they didn’t know the time when where living.”Kai hurriedly text the guys to get to the airport between 6 and 7 and followed the girls out.
