Chapter 12 - That Girl
Ryuuki had told her companions to have a gathering in her house. So today, all of them -save Ryuuki and Ryosuke- are standing in front of her house amazed.
“The house is so big…” Yuto staring at the house in disbelief.
“Are you sure we’re on the right address ?” Daiki ask his partner.
Chi nods at him eagerly.
Keito just chuckle while her partner is astonished at the view in front of him, as well as the other girls. Hikaru seemed excited by this situation which caused him to receive a whack from his partner.
The boy is about to pout when the big door is opened. An old man appear and bow to them.
“You must be Ryuuki-sama’s friends. She and Ryosuke-sama are already waiting in Ryuuki-sama’s study room. Come, I’ll take you there.” He leads the way.
He takes them to the 2nd floor of the house and turn left. He stops in the 2nd door from the left and knocks.
“Ryuuki-sama, Ryosuke-sama, your friends are here.” He calls.
A sec later, the said girl open the door. “Aah, you’re fast !” she exclaims. “Arigatou Jirou-kun ! You may leave now !” she tells the old man. The latter bow and leave them. “Come on in !” she invites the others.
Inside, they can see a big neat room with some racks filled with books surround the room. There are some tables and chairs in the middle of the room. There’s also small table and chair in the corner with a computer on it. Then they can see Ryosuke is sleeping on the sofa near the window.
Ryuuki lead them to gather around the tables and have a seat.
“Ryosuke and I have been discussing about the grouping of us.” She start as she spreads a paper. “I will go with Dai-chan, Naru-chan, Hikaru, and Maria-chan. So it means that Chi-chan, Sakura-chan, Keito and Yuto will go with Ryosuke. The paper contains some informations about the place we’re targeting and the Org we’re facing.” She hands over another paper to Yuto and Maria. “That contains some certain informations about the stuffs you’ll be searching. Any question ?” she asks.
“Yeah, I have.” Keito replies. “Is it a good thing to sleep in this meeting ?” he asks in humiliating tone.
Ryuuki turn to see her sleeping partner. “Oh, you mean Ryosuke. It’s okay. He knew already.” She speaks plainly. “Want some drink ?” she asks casually.
Keito got pissed with her plain statement. “It’s not what I mean ! He’s a Knight, and a leader of this group ! He should’ve showed some respect to this meeting !” he shouts a little bit too loud.
“Keito-kun ! Watch your words !” Sakura warn his partner.
“Keito…”
“Do you mind with my presence here ?” suddenly Ryosuke cut off his cousin’s words.
The 9 teens turn to the speaker as he sits up from his sleep and stare at Keito coldly. Keito gulp but he keeps his eyes on him.
Ryosuke break the staring-fight as he stands and head to the door.
“Where are you going Ryo ?” Ryuuki ask the leaving boy.
“Leaving. Bye Ryuu.” He waves and close the door behind him.
Ryuuki rub her temple tiredly. “Look Keito. There’s a reason of why some certain people doing some certain thing.”
“What do you mean ?” ask Keito calmly. But deep inside, he can’t deny that he was just doing something wrong.
“Oji-san told him to come here to rest because his house is currently held a Shadow Division meeting. Definitely not a right place to rest.” She explains. Once Keito is about to say something, she cuts him. “I tried. But he said that he had to be in the meeting. He was just asleep when you all came.”
“What’s wrong with Ryo-chan ?” Chi ask the question that Yuto is about to ask.
Ryuuki shrug. “I’m not sure. He told me that he was just tired. As for me, it’s something else.”
************************************************************************************
Ryosuke is heading to the park where Kota brought him sometimes ago. He can’t possibly go home since his father might haven’t finished the meeting yet. He was pissed with this Keito guy, so he won’t come back to Ryuuki’s house.
He’s about to find a tree to lay on when he realized a girl is staring at him. He turns to see the girl, and she’s smiling at him. She’s wearing a white dress and holding a white coat on her hand. Ryosuke is confused by her coat since today is a sunny day where you don’t need any coat to wear.
Ryosuke can see something lingered on the girl’s left hand as the girl turn and leave. By instinct, he follows this girl.
After about 15 min, Ryosuke lose the girl’s track. He curses himself to let his guard down. He then look around the place and his eyes stopped in 1 particular house. His eyes widened as the realization struck him.
“No way…” he murmurs. “This place is way too far…”
“Remember this place Ryosuke-kun ?” a voice come from behind him.
Ryosuke immediately turn and see the girl he was chasing right behind him. But once he examines the girl’s face, he recognize her. “Omae…”
“If you were thinking about my sister, than you’re wrong. Shana is my older twin. I’m Rea, Kishimoto Rea.” She cuts off.
Ryosuke can only stare in surprise.
The girl smile. “You are interesting Ryosuke-kun. You have something in you which attracted my sister and me. But don’t worry, we’re not from the same side. She is indeed, interested in something else from you. Something more cruel I say. And that was triggered by something that I possesed, and she didn’t.”
“What do you mean ?” Ryosuke startled.
“I suppose not to feed someone more that they can swallow.” She declares mysteriously. “Now, do you remember this place Ryosuke-kun ?”
Ryosuke keep silent for a while before giving her a faint nod. “But this must be a lie.” He adds.
“Why do you think so ?” she asks curiously.
Ryosuke stare the house once again. “Because, my house is further than this place. It’s not a place which you can reach by only 15 min of walking.” He says sadly.
The girl tap his shoulder. “You’re trying to say that your past was a lie Ryosuke-kun ?”
“It’s not like that !” Ryosuke burst.
The girl keep on smiling. “Ryosuke-kun, don’t you ever forget your past. Though it was hurtful, but it made you your present. It gave you power to become your now. You will never be who you are now without your past. That’s all I can say.” Then suddenly, the view around Ryosuke begin to changing into an unfamiliar place.
The girl seemed undisturbed by the change as she squeezes Ryosuke’s shoulder. Ryosuke straightly turn to face her and was shocked to see the same eyes that his mother always used to make him sleep.
“Worry not, Ryosuke-kun. You’ll be just fine.” And the familiar darkness bound him.
