Wah sorry it took me a while to update this minna. Let's just say writing inspiration has been on the low lately. Anyways enjoy the update! We got some bonding time and then a surprising turn of events~
==================================================================================
Chapter 18
There was a loud beeping noise followed by the movement of another person. I opened my eyes and the bright sun was caught in my vision. I sat up and felt a sharp pain in my head. When I was able to see and look around I saw my room was a mess. I got up and walked into the kitchen where Yuki was sitting there with a happy smile on her face. I don't know exactly what happened last night but to be honest I didn't even want to know. I got some breakfast and then soon after Jurina came down. She sat at the table and ate silently and then when she finished she put away her dishes. Then what was strange to me was Jurina pulled out some kind of paper and handed it to me. It was a poster advertising some kind of event going on this afternoon. To my surprise it was a Pokemon event and this was a shock to me because I thought Jurina had grown up past Pokemon.
"You want me to take you to this?" I said.
"Un." she said nodding her head.
"Well alright. You know Jurina I thought you had outgrown Pokemon."
"Pokemon is awesome! I could never leave Pikachu!"
"Well go get ready and we'll head out soon."
"Hai~"
Despite being so mature for her age, she's still a kid on the inside. I felt a little happy seeing her like this and not the manipulative girl from before. She came back down a couple minutes later and I couldn't help but giggle. There she was wearing her same Pikachu costume that she loved to play in. She walked over and told me to hurry up because she wanted to be the first one there to see everything. I got ready and within the next half hour we were out the door. We drove to a huge convention center where there were already people lined up to get in. We got in line and we waited for about an hour before we were finally let in. To be honest the last time I went to a convention was for an otaku convention and I don't even wanna go there as to what had happened. Anyways Jurina was pretty excited and it was good to see her so happy after such a long time. I don't know what had happened to her but she went from a cute innocent little girl to a mature young woman. Time sure does fly fast.
"Rena!"
I looked over and saw Jurina pointing to a booth selling merchandise.
"Can I get that?" she said pointing to the pair of headphones on display.
"How much are they?"
I looked at the price tag and saw that they were a lot. I was going to say no but Jurina had this look in her eyes and well I just couldn't say no. I bought her the headphones and she was pretty happy. She took off the Pikachu ears and put the headphones on instead that had ones built in. She made a little pose and I thought it was pretty cute. Then she took the old pair and put them on my head. She stepped back to look at me and then said,
"Hmm.. You don't look like a Pikachu to me..."
"Then what Pokemon am I?" I asked.
"Hmmm I don't think you would be a pokemon but perhaps a trainer?"
"Jurina I don't think I need to wear anything I mean I'm not a fan of Pokemon so-"
"I got it!"
Jurina grabbed my hand and dragged me to another booth. There she got me a trainer uniform and made me wear it.
"There! Now you look like a Pokemon Master!" she said.
"Oh Jurina this is nice but-"
"Hey look over there!"
Jurina started to run off and I had no choice but to follow. She ran to a booth where apparently some of the voice actors were there signing autographs. Jurina got in line and had the voice actress for Pikachu sign her headphones. She seemed pretty happy but then she quickly changed interests to the giant playground. Jurina ran over and started playing with all the play sets. She pretended to ride the Ponyta and lay on the Snorlax. She tried to imitate the Charzard and to a creepy pose like the Gastly. There was a Bulbasaur vine swing so Jurina was swinging around like a little monkey and all the kids were watching her. She climbed to the top of the tower where there was a Natu and balanced herself on the tiny bird pokemon. Then she jumped off and landed in one of the diglett holes. Jurina was just having a blast and I of course I took a couple pictures because these moments were just too good to pass.
Then suddenly the kids started to gather around the Pikachu and Squritle mascots and Jurina wanted to get her picture taken so she ran over and almost tackled the Pikachu. I felt sorry for the guy inside but he didn't seem to mind and happily posed with Jurina. Then on the TV screens there was an advertisement for a new Pokemon game coming out and you could get it early here. Everyone rushed to the area it was being sold and Jurina and I ended up waiting in line for an hour. Jurina sure did love her Pokemon and she reminded me of myself back when I went to all the conventions. After we got the game, we decided to get something to eat. As we were eating I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turned around and I was surprised to see an old friend of mine.
"Airin!"
"Rena!"
I hugged my old friend and I was so happy to see her.
"Who's this?" Jurina asked.
"Jurina this is my old high school friend Furukawa Airi." I said.
"It's nice to meet you!" Airin said.
"Airin and I go way back nee?"
"Yeah Rena and I would hang out all the time back in high school."
Airin sat down and ate with us. It was so good to see her after all these years. The last time I saw her was high school graduation and lost contact after that. Even after all these years though Airin is still the same and hasn't changed a bit.
"So what brings you here Airin?" I asked.
"Ah well my son just loves Pokemon so when he heard about the convention he begged me to come." Airin said.
"You have a son?!"
"Un he's over there on the Donphan slide."
I looked over and saw a young boy going down the slide. He looked like he was at least seven years old.
"Oh wow Airin I didn't know you had a kid! Congrats!"
"Thanks and by the way who is this?" she asked pointing to Jurina.
It was at that moment I realized that I couldn't say Jurina was my daughter because Airing knew me in high school so things would get complicated. I had to think of something and then Jurina said,
"I'm her cousin Matsui Jurina."
"Wow Rena I never knew you had a cousin this young!"
"Well you know my family is weird..."
I gave Jurina a "good call" look and she winked at me. We continued to talk until Airin said,
"Nee Rena remember when we went to the otaku convention? You were so wild and crazy there it's hard to believe you're the person you are today."
"What happened at the otaku convention?" Jurina asked.
Airin was about to say something but I quickly covered her mouth and tired to stop her. I did not want Jurina to know about the stupid things I did back then so I think it was best that she didn't know. I was trying to tell Airin that but she didn't listen and decided to tell anyways. There was not stopping her know because I know she would tease me if I continued. In the end I sat back and sipped my drink silently as she told Jurina my stupid tale of the otaku convention.
"Well you see there was a huge otaku convention and Rena and I were otakus so we decided to go. When we got there the place was HUGE! Like bigger than two of these conventions combined. There was said to be over two hundred thousand people there. Anyways so what happened was Rena was cosplaying as a girl named Yoko from the anime Gurren Laggen and I was dressed as just a regular neko maid girl. Anyways so what happened was we were just walking around when suddenly we ran into this group of cosplayers who were talking bad about the anime girl that Rena was cosplaying as. Rena got ticked off so her and the other cosplayers got into a fight."
"Wow I didn't know Rena could fight." Jurina said.
I put my head down because I knew what was going to happen next.
"So what happened next was they had actual working mechs on display where if you paid a certain price you could ride them. When they were fighting, Rena was pretty much kicking their butts and so one of them got into a mech and started coming towards Rena. Then what happens next you would not believe but what happened was Rena took a model of the gun Yoko used in the anime and actually started shooting at the mech!"
"No way!"
"Yeah! She was pretty good at it too! She hit every time she fired which was really cool. Not to mention she was running all over the place bouncing off walls and jumping all around. Then in the end Rena finished it off with a blow to the midsection separating the mech in half! Rena was so happy and started jumping around and that's when the best part happened. You see Yoko wears only a bikini top for the top half of her body so as she was jumping the strings came undone and her top almost came off! Luckily I jumped on her and helped her cover up. We were kicked out by security later on but we also got to meet the creators of Gurren Laggen and get autographs! Rena got her bikini top signed by the real Yoko! I bet she has the top somewhere."
Airin gave me a strange smile and I just said,
"Yes I do it's back home hidden somewhere."
"Wait I think I have a picture!"
"Eh?!"
Airin pulled out a picture of me and my Yoko outfit and I thought I was going to die right there of embarrassment. I saw Jurina get a slight blush on her face and then she said,
"Well Rena you look very nice.."
"Thanks Jurina. Airin where did you get that picture?" I asked.
"Ah I took it while you weren't looking~" she said.
"Mou you hentai!"
We hung out together for the rest of the time and then when the convention ended we decided to head out for dinner. We went to a small bistro that was said to have good italian so we stopped there and had dinner. Airin and I were talking and catching up with everything that we missed. Jurina seemed pretty occupied with Airin's son so I thought things were good. When we finished dinner, we went home and after a long day I was tired. Before I went to bed, Jurina walked over and hugged me.
"Thank for everything today. I had a lot of fun."
Jurina smiled at me and I felt really happy right there. I was happy to see Jurina was happy and that's all that mattered to me. She may be a teenager but she's still a little kid to me. I was spacing and didn't even notice it but Jurina suddenly started to get closer and closer to me. She was really close to my face and I slowly pushed her back. I told her she shouldn't do that and then sent her to bed. Honestly I don't know what it is about me that gets that girl so wild around me. After Jurina went to bed I was about to head in but then there was a screaming coming down the hall. I quickly ran down there and I myself yelped in disbelief.
"Y-Yuki! What are you doing with my Yoko bikini top?!"
"Oh well all my shirts were in the wash and I didn't have anything to wear so I borrowed one of your tops. I hope you don't mind."
"Take that off Yuki!"
I charged at her and tried to remove the top but she ran away and started to tease me. I sighed and had no choice but to chase after while Jurina went to bed. I chased Yuki all over the house before finally tackling her and getting it back. I was lucky that it wasn't damaged because that thing is very important to me! Once I settled Yuki down and sent her off to bed, I was about to go to sleep myself but then I decided to check in on Jurina. I opened the door and there she was sleeping soundly. I smiled and then slowly left to go to my room.
"Ah another long day~" I said as I got into the bed.
I closed my eyes soon after and then I fell asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep for but suddenly there was a loud boom and a flash. I opened my eyes and saw it was storming like crazy outside. I knew that there was a window open downstairs so I'd better go down and shut it. I got up and quickly ran down where I found the open window. I shut it and then was about to go back to my room when suddenly there was a loud flash and then the lights went off. Great and I had no idea where I was going to go because I didn't have a flashlight. Using only my instincts, I tired to feel my way around the house.
"Mou stupid storm."
I was afraid I would run into something so I got on my knees and started to crawl. I made my way over to the stairs and made my way up safely. When I reached the top I started to make my way back to my bedroom. I walked into the room and got into the bed where I got under the covers and was ready to pass out once again. However I felt something shift next to me and I wondered who was in my bedroom. There was a flash of lightning and that's when I saw Jurina's sleeping face. It was then I realized I was in Jurina's room! I thought about whether I should go or not but then suddenly Jurina wrapped her arms around me and there wasn't any sign of letting go. I sighed and decided to give in and sleep. It was at that time though I heard a tiny whisper as if someone was calling my name.
"Rena.."
Another flash and there I saw Jurina now awake and staring at me. It scared me a bit but Jurina silenced me.
"I'm sorry Jurina I must have gotten into the wrong room. I'll leave now."
"Don't!"
I looked at Jurina with a surprised look and she just tightened her grip around me.
"I.. I'm a little afraid of the storm so stay with me ok?"
"Alright I'll stay."
I patted Jurina's head and she gave me a happy puppy smile. I was about to fall asleep but then Jurina said,
"Nee Rena.."
"Hai?"
"You know over the time I got to know you, I just wanted to say thank you."
I just smiled and said,
"It's nothing Jurina. I just did what a good person should do."
"Well you took me in a complete and idiotic stranger. You took care of me and raised me. I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for all you have done for me.." she said.
"It's fine Jurina it's fine. Jeez you sound like a whole different person you know?"
"I just wanted to tell you that. I mean I have been acting like a brat lately..."
"It's alright Jurina. You're just going through a lot of changes but you'll get through them and trust me, the end result is worth all the emotional stress."
"I hope so."
"Un now let's go to sleep ok?"
"Hai."
"Goodnight~"
"Goodnight and Rena.."
"Hai?"
"Aishiteru."
I couldn't help but blush at that moment. I thought Jurina was just playing but when I saw her face in the flash of lightning it was serious. Jurina was for real when she said that and I just didn't know what to say back. Instead I just patted her head and said,
"Baka go to sleep."
Jurina pouted and said,
"Mou I mean it!"
"Hai hai I know now let's sleep."
"Hai~"
Jurina wrapped around me and together we fell asleep. I was glad to know Jurina really did care about all the things I had done with her. However I think I should be the one thanking her since I couldn't have gotten this far without her. I wonder where we would be if we hadn't met that day. Well whatever I'm sleepy so I think I'll just sleep but I will say one thing. Jurina is a good kid. I think I did a good job at raising her.
The next morning I woke up to a loud banging on the door. I got up and opened it and there standing at the door were two police officers. They flashed their badges at me and then said,
"Are you Matsui Rena?"
"Yes I am."
"Is Matsui Jurina here with you?"
"Yes did she do something wrong?"
The two officers nodded their heads and then one pushed me against the wall while the other stormed into the house. The officer put handcuffs on me and said,
"Matsui Rena you are under arrest."
"Under what charges?!"
"Kidnapping and fraud."
"What?!"
"Rena!"
I looked over and saw Jurina being dragged away by the other officer. The two brought us outside and into separate cars. I tried to fight back but the officer hit me and then forced me into the car. The door was slammed shut and the two cars drove their separate ways. The last thing I saw was Jurina's banging on the window trying to get out with tears in her eyes.
"Rena!"
"Jurina!"
