not going to bother with a disclaimer each time. Mostly because I'm running out of clever things to say.
researched the time difference between Japan and California. The first thing I came up with was a nine hour diff. Not being much of a research person I gladly accepted this. If this is incorrect I apologize. (And if you know what the real diff is maybe you could let me know? Thanx ^_^)
phone was ringing.
threw the blankets off of her head and glared at her clock. It was 2 a. m.
2 a. m.!
calls at 2:00 in the morning?! The answering machine kicked on and realization dawned once she heard Misao's voice. She had left a message for Misao to call her back.
dashed for the phone. "HI! Misao-chan, hi. Sorry about that."
laughed. "That's okay. I'm not very responsive at 2:00 in the morning either. I would have called you sooner but Aoshi and I just got in."
is that statue doing, hm?" Misao laughed at Kaoru's nickname for him. Kaoru loved Aoshi like she would her own brother, but she never missed an opportunity to rib him.
he's very happy today. And before you say something smart like, 'How can you tell?', let me tell you why."
Kaoru could feel the excitement pouring out of Misao. She could also hear her turn to Aoshi and ask "Should I tell her anata?" Kaoru could picture him rolling his eyes. She was doing the same thing herself.
might as well. You already said you would."
Okay. I'll tell you. Kaoru-chan I'm pregnant! Aoshi and I are having a baby!"
felt a wave of sadness hit her at that news. 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself. They've been trying so hard for a baby. Be happy for them.'
Kaoru was like her sister. Wasn't she happy for them? Then she remembered. "I forgot. Gomen ne, Kaoru-chan."
I...I'm really very happy for you Misao-chan." She wiped a tear away from her eye. 'Stop crying.You're stronger than that now.' She smiled brightly. "So do I get to speak to the new father?"
laughed. "Sure. Hold on a second."
daddy!"
growled. "Don't say that."
come on. You can't tell me you aren't looking forward to all the sweet little kisses, the sticky hugs, the first time the baby says your name. Think about it!"
simply hmmphed. Actually he had been fantasizing about it all day, but there was no way he would let anybody but Misao know that.
have you heard anything about him ?" Aoshi didn't have to ask to know who she was talking about.
he's been around. But don't worry, there's no way I'm letting him hurt Misao or me. Besides actually, we're going to be moving. I got a job transfer."
Where?"
I think."
that's wonderful! That's only an hour away from where I live!" ( I think. It might be more like half an hour. It's been too long since I've been down there >.< But with traffic who can tell the difference anymore? ;)
Misao's glaring at me. I think that's my cue to let her talk to you now."
am not!" Misao screeched.
I wasn't glaring!"
laughed, "So are you going to let me tell you my good news?"
yeah. Sorry about that. I'm assuming that means you got the job right? What was it again? A nanny?"
and yes."
is he single? What did he look like? Is he cute?"
I just want to get all the necessary information. So is he?"
he's a widower." Kaoru purposely left out what she thought about his looks.
I'll take your evasion of the last part of my question as a yes." She gave a long-suffering sigh, "I guess I'll just have to wait to see him for myself. So have you met the kid yet?"
though Misao had changed the topic, previous experince had taught Kaoru that she wouldn't let it die until she had her answers. "No, I'm meeting him tom-- later today actually."
well, I guess I should let you get your sleep then, ne?"
Actually I'm not very tired right now. I'm too nervous."
so how is Yahiko doing?"
He's doing well in his classes and he's got a new girlfriend."
boy is such a player. He has a new girl every week."
think this one might have staying power."
he's been with this one for two whole weeks!"
both laughed after that. "So, what's her name?"
Tsubame I think."
Oh wow. I just saw the time. We've been talking for almost half an hour. I guess I better let you go, ne?"
Ja Misao-chan."
:00
slammed her hand on the alarm when it went off. 'I'm so tired. Just a few more minutes. I have plenty of time.'
hadn't been kidding when she told Misao she was nervous. She was starting to drift off to sleep when Misao had called. When she tried to sleep again she had just managed to fall asleep about an hour before the alarm went off.
hit the snooze button. At least that's what she meant to do. In actuality she turned the alarm off all together. (In case you're wondering yes, I've done this before. I hate when this happens. >.<)
:00
stretched and lazily got out of the bed, glancing at the clock. "Ahhh! I can't believe I overslept! I can't be late again!" She zipped around like a mini-tornado trying to get ready on time. At exactly 11:00 she was ready to go. By some miracle of a chance her motorcycle decided to start right away. (In case anyone is wondering, her motorcycle is a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11. I know nothing about them, but it looks TOO COOL! At least =I= think it does. ;)
late."
Kaoru kept from rolling her eyes as she muttered a 'sorry'. She wondered how anyone could handle him. He always acted like he was talking to a small child. 'Or maybe it's just me.'
pointed to her motorcycle. "Are you planning on taking my son around on that?"
have an extra helmet. And I'm a very good driver."
get in. We better be going since we're getting such a late start and all."
wanted to respond to that but bit her tongue instead. (Does anybody else literally do this to calm down; or is it just me?)
turned and Kaoru noticed the scar on his cheek. She had noticed it yesterday as well, but figured it was probably a sensitive topic; so she didn't ask him. But it would be alright to ask about his wife right?
cleared her throat. "Ano...Himura-san? If you don't mind me asking how did your wife die?"
pain that crossed his face didn't escape her notice. But just as soon as it was there, it was gone again. "I mind," he said gruffly.
was surprised when he opened the door of the car and motioned for her to get in. She didn't think he would be that polite.
inside the car, Kaoru searched her mind for a safe topic. "What is your son like? You said he had some problems with his previous nannies."
glanced at her from the side. "You'll find out soon enough." And with that they were out of the driveway. Kaoru sighed. So much for starting up a friendly conversation.
about this chapter bothers me. I think it's probably too boring. I'm sorry for that. >.<
know it's short and I apologize for that. I'm a lazy soul and I didn't feel like writing anymore. Plus my wrists are starting to hurt.
your all going to be surprised when you find out who the 'him' they keep talking about is. It's not who you think! I just hope you don't all kill me.
