Chapter 3: New Aquientences
I thought a lot about yesterday. In one day I got everything I ever wanted. It was as if I died and went to heaven and now I'm looking back on my life, like an old t.v. show. Lee jianliang this is your life. Just think about it; I had my first ,and only love deliver me some choclates in my class then I made out with him for the first time. I didn't tell about that first part did I? Oh well sue me. Anyway Back to my story --
(Flashback)
Takato's place was really nice. There were waterfalls and big red japanese style latterns. Streamers, ballons and decorations of all sorts scattered everywhere. I knew all the kids were there but I had no idea it was a party. An early thanksgiving day party. He greeted me at the door and took my coat like the sweet little gentleman he is. obviously his parents were probably very nice people to have a son like him. "Hi Takato-kun" He only smiled at me acwardly. It made me blush naturally. "Cute outfit ya got there" another kid, a girl, cheered. "H-HHi ...I'm...Lee" I studdered. "Name's Juri katou, nice to meet you Lee." Across the hall their were was group of friends chatting. Did I know how to be outgoing? The answer is no, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from having fun. I peered over. "Hi there your Mrs. Jianliang's son aren't you?" Ms. Matsuki just somehow teleported in fround of me. "yes ma-mam" I bowed in respects to my future boyfriend's mother. "My mom and I would like to thank you for the gifts." I proclaimed way too formally but that's what she liked about me. "Oh dear you don't have to thank us" She chirped patting me on the head dimituitively. I was only five or six years old then. "Yea! we're just being good wholesome --" I didn't hear the last word. It was something with a "C" and it was an idea I was going to loath. I was still in my shy mode blinking owlishly so Mr. Matsuki just replied with a "The others are over in Takato's room." I was still stunned from the relvelation of this being a party. Were I came from you didn't just invite a perfect stranger into your home, even if he was just a little boy. Whatever the reason was, I assumed it was what that word they called themselves meant.
Juri was a good friend of Takato's but nothing of a romantic interest that's for sure. I hade already figured that he was bordering on the sensitive side. He was always helping others and cared for everyone but had a weak will. The way he could really open up to her down the hall,told me that they went way back. "The next door to your left Lee" he instructed. "You can meet Kazu and kenta and Ryo and...." He just keeps adding another "and" between all of their names. I wasn't really listening to them make conversation. So I didn't get the witty coment he made about the one called Ryo. "Not if he catchs her under the mistletoe!" Juri just giggles and Takato has his own little quirky chuckle. "Ruki would probably shove it up his mouth." I heard Jeri counter.
Inside was a big screen t.v.: a flat high defintion plasma. The walls were plastered with everything digimon A to Z. Everyone was watching a movie silently from chairs or the bed. One piece of furniture remained empty though. It was probably big enough for three; perhabs it was for us. "So Lee, how do you know Taka-Kun" She quired. "Well he sort of left something for me at my door...annnnd" I didn't know how to finish that one. "Was it a kiss?" That was an honest question. She really didn't mind homosexual love, though it was a little blunt. Did she know something I didn't? Takato just gave a wry nervious grin behind me coughing a bit flushed. The show never ends.
"When you did you move here?" She asks again as if reading off a questionaire. "I've been here for about two months" I say trying as best I could to sound nonchalant. We take our seats and Jeri picks up a few teen magazines and some scissors. She starts cutting out little maniquins to mix and match with an assortment of scraps. "That's pretty cool Jeri!" I complement. "Isn't though? It is really Pretty thanks Lee" Juri mused making it sound like called it pretty. I said pretty cool; guys don't call things pretty.
"Do you like cloths or something?" It was my turn to get interpersonal.
"Yea, I wanna be a fasion designer when I grow up!" She declairs. "I just love art and all it's forms!"
"Me too I wanna be an artist" says Takato from behind hovering over me from the bedpost."I can work with whatever I got -- and make it look really cool!"
"Maybe you can design the patterns on my cloths!" Jeri cheers, her hands make that dreamy girlish gesture. You know, the one were they clasp thier hands together. That was actually a good idea to me though. "Yea Takato you look like the type to be artisy-fartsy wuss. Nothing like that kid over there." some girl with precuiluiar hair points out. I think she just referred to me. "What's your name anyway handsome" She reaches for my aquaintace. "Lee Jianlaing" I greet semi-flattered. I didn't really like good attention if it meant befriending an eniemy of a Takato's. I had to learn that they were close associated but not exactly each other's best friends. "hey when your birthday Lee?" again Jeri can't help but collect more information about me. I didn't mind though anything for a new friend; untill she goes too far. "Ummm July, 11. Why?" I forrowed a brow. "Oh a cancer? That means you and Takato would make a perfect couple. My face washed with a dark shade of scarlet red. "W-w-why?" I find the nerve to speak. "Because he's a picies -- on March 11,! Isn't that destiny or what?" Takato must of facefaulted at this. He probably knew her this way so he was used to unpleasant comments like that. I was going fall over myself when suddely an erie shriek cries.
"Takato! Get your dumb butt down here right now!" I'm saved by the devil in diguise
Ms. Matsuki's evil side only comes out in front of Takato for their family bussiness.

"Where is the change to that order! Are you trying to steal from your own mother!?!" I hear Takato's mom screem across the hall downstairs. "No mom it's on the counter" Takato panics.
"good. Here's your allowance use it to buy Ryo something. I'll take you shopping Next week" she murmurs and then calms; Ryo was just upstairs and we all could easily hear them if the T.V. was low. "Can Lee come with us?" He just about pleads on his hands and knees "Yea Yea Yea. You can bring one friend. You should get to know him better anyway."
"thank you god" Takato grumbles under his breath. More amusing sattire follows when he rolls his eyes.
"don't use the lord's name in vein." Mrs. Matsuki scowled him. A 180 in contrast to her additute merely seconds ago. "you're always telling me we should thank him for everything and this just happens to be worthy of his attention." He teased very aggrovated but at the sametime trying to talk his way out of ten months of punishment. "You never give me any money!" This time he sounds indignantly furious. His mom just slaps him upside the head in front of kenta downstairs. "stupid retart of a son of mine" she cries in acromony like an older sister rather then a mature adult. She's harsh, too harsh. I guess that means I've got plans for the weekend already.

Meanwhile Ryo was trying work magic on his polar opposite: Ruki. I was in the room reserving my conversations to Jeri. "Hey Ruki! why don't you come a little closer and snuggle right next to me? I won't bite." This guy was way in over his head. I sweatdropped from his childish antics and then went back to the movie. Well I was the new kid on the block. Everyone else knew each other all too well. It made me feel like I was intruding in on the party; I was only just invited a few hours ago. I began to contemplate more withdrawil.
"Yea but I do!" The girl with the pinneapple shaped hairstyle sneers. "Listen Akiyama! Your not worth my time. The reason you never had a girlfriends is because everyone thinks you're gay. And their right to believe so, the only thing you snuggle with is you precisous Mr. Big Daddy Bear at night." A look of hurt creeps on his face. "I'll have you know princess he's a bunny and I don't name my stuffed animals!" He counter-scoffs in disposition. Surprisingly the cold snide look on her face disspates. She now looks puzzled. "Yea why did you say that? I remember sleeping over your place. You were pretenting to sleep weren't you?" She almost loses herself to his blush. "Pretenting?" He's Baffled and abashed at the same time. The night rolled on and everyone went home with thoughs of the 'that cute half-chinese boy across the street', 'the cultured gentleman from 2-b' or 'My love rival and public eneimy number one, to name a few versions, and that's how it happened. From then on life went soothly from the paradise of kidergarderners.
~~~
Time passed. I came to know the others well. My life after that became somewhat routine. We did everthing together, I went to all of their parties and likewise they went to mine. A mall up the street on Main would become our weekend getaway years after, or so Hirokazu put it. We always traveled in our little wolf pack after second grade, with the exception of ruki, and sometimes Ryo. Coincidentally we all ended up in going to the same elementary school together. I enrolled late in the rainy season because it took awhile. The little room hade a place to put all our finger paintings, cursive handwrighting or lunchboxs. Mine was usually one of those snackable things with ham and cheese. Takato, Jeri, and Ruki hade the typical peanutbutter-jelly sandwhich and chips combo. Lucky Ryo sometimes hade a whole kid's meal from some restuarant. I'm not going to say which one but it has those golden arches incorporated into the building. On sunday's my mom always bought home some sort of date for dinner. Richei was ten years old and in fifth grade and Jaarin, 9 in the fourth. It was always the same on a weekly basis. The only thing I couln't predict was the type of food we eat or the exact moment Richei was going asked to pass it to him. "Pass the whatever that is over then, Lee" he'd say. Just replace "whatever that is" with you name it. I was starting to wonder if I should charge admission for a freakshow. For a dollar a night you too can have dinner with a total psychopath. My siblings and I just ignored all of them untill she started going steady with some rich chinese game designer: Mr. Janyuu Wong. Of all of the stray basket cases the cat dragged in, he was the only person left suitable to be our new father figure by concensus. He was everything I was missing in life. He treated us the way any mother would with her children: with unconditionally love and acceptance. He put me threw tai chi and karate in hopes "to clear my mind of negative thoughts." Which translated to: 'help you forget about your drunken a-hole, crackpot of a so-called father; that was my interpretation. As it turned out I was a natural. If I wanted to I could even take down Ruki several different ways. I just used the Tai Chi lessons for ways to impress the others, more particulally Takato. It was the start of our new lifes together.

Note: I would like to take the time to ask everyone to review something. I know that not all of you are fans of Henry/Takato fics but how am I going to know that there are some interested out there if no one reviews. So Review. Please. There is nothing more satifing to me than to see interested fans comment on my work somehow. P.S. Again: I usually update on thursdays!
