First of all, sorry for not updating in quite a while. I've been busy with my job (Damn the financial reporting submission deadline
), and I've been working overtime for almost every weekdays so... I couldn't write much.
Chapter 28 - 3
*at the usual Izakaya
When we came, Sado-san was already sat on her usual seat, waiting for us. She was scowling dangerously all the time, which made Yuko-san couldn’t help herself but to ask her after the waiter had left with our orders.
“What’s wrong, Sado?”
“That brat pissed me off.” Was the short answer. When I heard that, I truly hoped that Shaku was not being reckless again. It won’t do her good if she made Sado-san mad even more at her.
“Come on, Sado… give the poor girl a chance…,” Torigoya whined at our sadist vice-leader, “she has been brooding all the time ever since you turned her down.”
My eyes widen slightly at this, I knew Sado-san wasn’t one for personal talk, so that’s only left Shaku as the one who told Torigoya. Not a surprise though, Torigoya is her mentor. And considering how Sado-san retorted back at Torigoya, and started her irritated speech with ‘I’ve told you before…’, this wasn’t the first time they had this kind of talk.
“Why are you so scared anyway?” Yuko-san cut out Sado-san speech with a glare towards her vice, a leader`s glare, which Sado-san returned back at her with me and Torigoya watching over them in silence.
“I’m not scared.” Sado-san calmly said.
“You are.” Yuko-san retorted back with her glare still intact, but then her expression softened, “open up a little, Sado. Let her in. It has been years already. I want you to be happy.”
“Why should I? I’m happy,” Sado-san said defiantly while crossing her arms, “and besides, she… was the reason why I got sent to reform school and community services years ago….”
My eyes widen again at this. Remember when I said they all had their reasons as of why they’re finished high school at the same time as me? Well, that’s Sado-san`s reasons. She had to spend years in reform school and did some community services things after fought and sent a group of guys from another high school to hospital, in an almost dead condition. All because she saw them bullying and at the same time harassing an elementary school student… em…, made it a student from an expensive and elite private elementary school. Sick, right? Right. I mean, harassing an elementary school student?! A kid?! Some guys just truly think with the head which located below, not the one above their shoulder. And what made it even more suck for Sado-san, because she’s a yankee and those guys were apparently some soccer stars in their school, people thought that Sado-san just attacked them without reason, hence, the reform school and community services. As for the kid, well, she was just a kid, nobody listened to her much.
Torigoya patted Sado-san`s hand sympathetically after she recovered from the shock. “She… was the little girl you protected?” she asked with her eyes widen.
“… Yes…,” Sado-san answered bitterly, “I’ve just known that a little earlier today too. So that’s why there’s something familiar about her.”
“And that’s must be the reason why you’re attached to her.” Torigoya added, and when Sado-san narrowed her eyes at her, Torigoya pouted, “Oh, come on, Sado…, you are, just admit it already. Remember all the times you crashed at my training sessions with her? You are so… protective and caring at her… though you trolled her just as much. And I’ve never seen you like that with anyone.”
“I. Am. Not.”
Yuko-san sighed and shook her head a little, “just give the poor girl a chance already.”
“Do you… want me to go to jail now?” Sado-san asked sarcastically.
“For God’s sake…. She’ll be eighteen in a few months. I have enough of a brooding and silent Shaku,” Torigoya whined, “I want my crazy and funny pupil back.”
“Same here…,” I said for the first time ever since they started to talk about the poor girl. Torigoya responded with a ‘huh?’, made me sighed and I added, “you do know that Ookabuki is living with me, right?” the three of them gave me a nod, silently asking for me to continue, “well, that’s mean… right now, my apartment has become a hang out place for our kouhai…, though they usually left a few minutes after I came home..., saves for Kokabuki…. And, yeah, I have to agree, I want crazy and funny Shaku back too. It’s just too weird to see her all silent and serious all the time…. And, a little bit depressing too.”
“Yeah, Sado. Just open up to her a little. The way you two meets each other again… It’s must be fate going on here. Just like Shibuya and Ookabuki” Yuko-san said while she was in deep thought, even though her words sounded like a joke, she was actually serious. “I’m not saying for you to screw her,” Yuko-san added while rolled her eyes in exasperation, “Give her a chance. Who knows? She might surprise us if you do.”
At this time, my eyes caught someone with red coat outside the izakaya, walking across the road hurriedly. “She did surprise us alright.” I said while pointing at the window, made they looked at the direction I had pointed. And not long after she disappeared, Team Under came into our view, frantically tried to follow her around while calling her, “Shaku-nee… wait for us!”
“… Shaku-nee…?” I asked to no one, confused. “… since when she became Shaku-nee?”
“Did she knows that Team Under is actually your under, Sado?” Yuko-san asked with an incredulous expression. Sado-san just sighed and massaged her temple tiredly.
“I doubt it.” I said, “Not much people know about it. They think they were our underling. Even Dance didn’t know it, and she used to spend some of her time with them. Which was the reason she was wondering why Team Under disappeared from Rappappa`s Room after we’re graduated.”
“And now they’re under Shaku…,” Yuko-san muttered softly, and within seconds, she grinned mischievously, “… interesting….”
“It’s looks like Shaku was trying to fend them off rather than welcoming them.” Torigoya said as she peered out from the window. “She’s not the kind of person that likes having someone following her around.”
“Can we just drop the topic about her already and started to talk what you want to talk about?” Sado-san said through gritted teeth.
“Fine… fine…, but promise me that you’ll think about it.” Yuko-san said. “I may not be a physic, but usually, my advice works well,” then she turned to look at me and grinned, “right? Shibuya?” I just rolled my eyes at her and she continued, “Aaaand…. Where’s Geki and Black actually? It’s unusual for them to be late.”
“They’ll come sooner or later.” Torigoya answered with a small smile.
And true enough, after a few minutes Gekikara and Black came, with Black`s son in her arms, they immediately came towards us after they were inside and sat on the empty seats next to Sado-san.
“Sorry we’re late. Need to find someone who can babysit Ren.” Black said with her usual hushed tone while tried to adjust her hold on Ren.
“Is there any problem?” Yuko-san asked with a concerned look.
“No, it’s just that the obaa-san in the apartment next to mine is going shopping with her daughter, so we need to find other who’s willing to babysit Ren.” Black answered, “and there’s none. So….”
I dropped my head on the table with a small ‘thuck’ sound and muttered darkly, “Do. Not. Talk. About. Shopping.”
“Is there’s something wrong with her?” I heard Geki’s asked around.
“Her credit card has reached its limit.” Torigoya answered amusedly.
“She paid for Ookabuki’s hospital bills. So no shopping for her. At least for a while.” Sado-san added while she was chuckling at my depressed state. “Anyway, why are you told us to come here, Yuko-san?”
When I heard Sado-san asked that, I raised my head and looked at Yuko-san whose non-challanty said, “let’s have dinner first, and discussed it later on.” She picked up the menu on the corner of the table and gave it to Black while she was asking, “what do you two want to order? The usual?”
After Black nodded her answer, Yuko-san called the waiter. After the waiter, a cute and beautiful waiter, came Yuko-san leaned forward in her seat whilst smiling charmingly and with her husky voice she said, “So… pretty lady, my two friends over here,” she pointed at Black and Geki, “would like to have one bento set A, one gekikara ramen and two ocha. Please don’t make them wait too long.” And she completed the flirt with a wink.
Sado-san who was sitting in front of me sighed in exasperation, the action that I copied soon after, while Geki and Black rubbed the base of their nose in the same time. While for Torigoya…, well…, she… was actually kind of creep me out with her dark aura, and with my luck, she was sitting next to me. She was smiling but… I knew Yuko-san would’ve been dead if only they’re not on public places.
“Someone definitely will get a punishment from an angry cat later….” Sado-san mumbled under her breath, made me snorted in amusement, earned myself a few questioning looks which I answered with a grin.
“Hmm?” Yuko-san asked with mock-curiosity, “What is it, Shibuya?”
“Nothing.”
“You’re not thinking about perverted stuffs, aren’t you?”
I rolled my eyes at her while grumbled, “I am not you.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
“Oy, Geki. Don’t use so much chili powder,” Yuko-san said when Geki poured a big amount of the chili powder from the small bottle that she always carries with her.
Geki giggled in response and just said, “but I like it…,” and poured some more.
“It’s amazing that you never get a stomach problem from THAT amount of spicy food you eat.” I said while I was scowling in disgust or more like, a combination of disgust and afraid at how blackish-red the ramen soup was. It was already spicy without the chili powder, and yet it’s still not spicy enough for her.
“I should say the same to you.” Sado-san said with a pointed look at me.
“I’m not that crazy with spicy food.” I retorted quickly.
“No, but you’re aji-onchi. The nattou crepe thing has proved it.” Sado-san said with a smirk, while the others nodding their agreement, made me scowled dangerously and bit the duck meat in my kamo seiro with too much power.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
“So…,” Sado-san said after we finished our dinner, “what do you want to talk about, Yuko-san?”
Yuko-san took a glance left-and-right, then she fixed her gaze on somewhere behind Black. We tried to look behind her too but Yuko-san stopped us by saying, “Don’t look. They’ll notice we’re here if you do.”
“Who’s it Yuko-san?” Black asked, already on her way to give Ren to Geki, “want me to check them out?”
“No need of that,” Yuko-san said dismissively with a wave of her hand, “just some Majijo`s juniors. Let’s go before they saw us here. We have other things to do rather than fight a pack of flies like them.”
With that being said, we immediately pay our dinner and left the izakaya. The night summer breeze soon greeted us after we’re on the road. I was really thankful that I chose to wear a long-sleeves shirt today, because it was already quite cold at night even though it was blasting hot during the day. I guessed autumn would come soon.
“So… where do we go now, Yuuchan?” I heard Torigoya asked when I was looking at the stars in the sky.
When I look at Yuko-san, she has this strange and mischievous glint in her eyes, and she didn’t even answer Torigoya`s question. I just hoped whatever she choose wouldn’t get us into trouble. Not so close to my entrance exam like this. I need to pass the exam.
For a while we were just following her without a word. Though the path she chose was the same way that lead to the area where Black`s and my apartment located. With each step I made, I had been dreading it more and more. And true enough, when we reached the crossroad, she took the road to our left side, which means, she was directing us to my apartment all along. Damn it! I needed to warn my girlfriend that ex-Rappappa would crash our place but there’s not enough time for it, all of a sudden we were already in the entrance of my apartment complex. I just hoped she was wearing something decent tonight. Since it was summer and it was blasting hot, she has a tendency to wear a really short pants and tank top and not-even-bother-to-wear-a-bra. Now that I think about it, I think the last was just to tease me, not because of the hot-summer-night, because the sight of her in that was just…. Okay, I need to stop imagining it before I get a nose-bleed.
“So…, Shibuya…,” Torigoya whispered while leaned towards me, “please tell me that we won’t see Ookabuki waiting for you in a sexy outfit.”
I felt myself blushed completely and choked out, “W-WHAT?!” while gaped at Torigoya, earned myself a questioning looks from the other who were walking a few steps ahead of us in the lobby of my apartment.
“She doesn’t know we’re coming over, right?” Torigoya asked with a whisper.
“Em… nope.”
Torigoya snickered and said, “if she do… You’ll definitely never hear the end of it from Yuuchan and Sado.”
“Tch…. She won’t wear something like that… Em… at least not in normal occasion.” I said just before we reached the lifts area where the others have been waiting for us and the lift.
“What did you two talking about?” Yuko-san asked.
“Nothing.” Torigoya said with a cunning smile, made Yuko-san frowned at her.
Then one of the lift door opened and after we were all inside the lift, Yuko-san whined childishly, “Come on what were you two talking about?”
Torigoya off-handedly said, “Mmm... I was just telling Shibuya that the guy that crossed way with us before in the lobby looks cool.” And then she whispered to me, “payback time,” made me sighed inwardly.
“Nyan-Nyan…,” Yuko-san whined again with a crest-fallen expression, and when the lift opened in my floor, she quickly went out of the lift and stomped all the way to my unit like an angry child.
“You actually didn’t say that, right? Payback time?” Sado-san asked Torigoya while smirking at our angry leader, who was stomping a few steps ahead of us, which Torigoya answered with a smirk too.
“Torigoya has become a sadist too~,” Geki said in between giggles, not her creepy giggle, this one was actually an amused giggle while Black was shaking her head whilst smiling slightly.
“I know she will never cheat behind my back,” Torigoya whispered to us, “But that doesn’t mean that I would be okay with her flirting with other girls. She needs to get a taste of jealousy too.”
When she reached the door of my unit, Yuko-san turned back and snapped at us, “hurry up, will you! And Shibuya, open the door!”
I walked faster while rolling my eyes and grumbled to Torigoya, “This is all your fault.”
And when I had opened the door, the sight that greet us was my girlfriend, who was sitting on the couch watching TV, and she was wearing one of my men`s shirt that I purposely bought for me to use it as pajamas and by the looks of it, she didn’t wears any pants.
She turned to looked at my direction while saying, “welcome home. What did the meeting’s-…,” and when she saw us, she gaped at us. Shocked.
Yuko-san whistled with her eyes gleaming with mischief. “Nice legs…,” she drawled slowly, “you should show it more.” Temporarily forgot the reason why she was angry before.
Tomo blushed slightly and hastily walked to our bedroom while saying, “Emm… I’ll be inside, I don’t want to disturb your meeting.” But before she was inside, she was glaring and pointed at me and said, “You. Bedroom. NOW!”
“Now I know what you mean by being cranky.” Torigoya mumbled out to me. Yuko-san and Sado-san snorted in amusement while Geki and Black giggled softly.
“Yeah, and now I definitely know how she could tame you.” Sado-san added before she laughed out loud, “Just look at what she wears at home. Or lack of, to be exact.”
I was about to retort back at her but a loud voice that was saying, “ITANO! Come here, now!” stopped me from doing so and I quickly dashed towards the bedroom, while the others were openly laughing at me.
“Whipped…,” Yuko-san said in between laugh.
“Totally whipped.” Sado-san added.
“AM NOT!!” I retorted before I close the door and locked it.
When I turned back, I saw my girlfriend stood in front of the bed with her arms crossed, looked anything and everything but pleased, with her eyes narrowed at me. And those legs of her were just… Then I heard her lightly coughed and said, “I’m up here….” I immediately turned up my gaze while I was scratching my head and laughed awkwardly.
“Why you…,” she growled while walking towards me, and slapped my shoulder, “Hentai! And why didn’t you warn me about them coming over?! I could’ve prepared something….”
“I didn’t know too, okay!?” I retorted back at her, “By the time I realized that Yuko-san led us here, we’re already at the Lobby. It was already too late to warn you.” Then I put my bag on top of the vanity table and dropped my body on the bed with a huff and closed my eyes. “You think I like it when other people see you like this? Even though it’s them….”
“Silly… don’t sulk like that,” I heard her sighed, then I felt her in the bed beside me, “sometimes you get jealous too easily. And besides, we’re all girls here.”
“Yeah… well…, Yuko-san is more like a hentai oji-san than a girl.” I mumbled out.
She snuggled me while mumbled, “Hmmm… true….” Then she mindlessly slipped her hand under my shirt and caressed my bare stomach. I knew she didn’t mean to tease me, well, at least I thought she didn’t, but she still made me on a ‘tension MAX’ mode because of it. And after a while she said, “Right… get out, now.”
I immediately frowned and mumbled, “Are you banishing me from my own room?”
“No… I’m trying to prevent THEM to tease us because you’ve made them waiting outside for too long.” She slowly explained.
I let out a sigh and pulled her hand out from inside my shirt while grumbled, “fine…”, and started to made my way to the door. Before I opened the door, I turned back and asked, “you’re coming?”
“Nah…, I don’t want to disturb your meeting.” I frowned again while she was grabbing the iPad on the side table, and she quickly answered my un-asked question, “I’ll occupy my time with this.”
With that being said, I walked out of
my our room, and the sight that welcomed me was Rappappa`s members sprawled all over in my living room. Yuko-san was sitting on a single couch while eating choco-fudge and cookies ice cream, straight from the container, sometimes she would spoon-feed Torigoya who was sitting on the arm-rest of the couch. Black and Geki had opened a bag of chips and munched it while they were sitting on a love-seat couch. As for Sado-san, she was standing in front of the shelf near the TV while looking at my DVDs collection, and a can of coffee in hand. I sighed and face-palmed myself inside my mind, ‘damn…, they’re already too comfortable here.’
“So… are you all here just to raid my food supplies?” I sarcastically asked to them, made them shifted their attention to me.
“Eh? You’re out already?” Yuko-san asked when I was walking towards the empty love-seat couch, “she didn’t kill you?”
“Of course not.” I retorted while I was rolling my eyes.
“Now that you’re here…,” Sado-san said while she was moving to sit beside me, “Yuko-san?”
Yuko-san took another spoon-full of the ice cream then she turned all serious. “Empty your schedule next Monday and Tuesday. If Monday you couldn’t come it’s okay. But, you have to come on Tuesday,” she commanded us, “I want you all to be fit and full of energy for the day. So, no fooling around this weekend.”
“Next Monday…,” Sado-san mumbled, “Wait… isn’t that… next week is the week for Sports Festival, right? “
“Yep.”
“So, what’ll Majijo do this year?” I asked, “As far as I know, Majijo never really do anything in Sport Festival.”
Yuko-san took her time to spoon-feed Torigoya and herself, then she mischievously said, “Oh… don’t worry. We’ll do something alright…. Majijo`s style.”
“Geki… how long have you all preparing this?” Black asked while narrowing her eyes dangerously, chips long forgotten.
“Ehhh….” Geki squeaked and turned to look at Yuko-san, asking for help.
“Don’t get mad at her, I gave order to them to not saying anything about it to anyone.” Yuko-san answered in Geki`s behalf and then she took another spoon-full of ice cream and half-smiled-half-groaned in satisfaction, “This ice cream taste like heaven…. Anyway! Here’s what we’ll do….”
