--Somewhere above Asia
"You're as cold as ever, you know that?" I chimed in as we'd boarded the plane. I just threw my carry-on baggage over my shoulder haphazardly. "I mean, Newlyweds... you know what that makes you look like-"
"I can really care less about anyone's ill-perceptions of me. That includes you...my nonchalant little brother."
"Pfft...of course you don't...forgive me." I rebuked sarcastically.
After we boarded and took our seats Auron immediately took to ignoring me the whole time. I rolled my eye's and blasted my music and thought about the long trip. It would be nice to go to a place I considered home and I was actually looking forward to seeing Kiamari again. We had a lot of catching up to do...
Narita Airport--12:15pm
We disembarked and made our way out of the airport. It took us quite awhile with the crowd but we finally made it to a car Auron once again had waiting for us. I didn't care much for it though, not now, not here. the only thing I really cared about was that I felt like for the first time in years, I was home. I guess it was obvious because I had that goofy smile on my face the whole damn time.
When we arrived at an abandoned structure and Auron rolled down his window slowly. I couldn't believe we were actually looking at it. "And here is where it will all begin...again..." Auron said quietly.
"So it's just been sitting here all this time?" I stated, well aware of just WHAT the meaning behind this building was.
"Drive in." Auron commanded the driver then turned to answer my query. "Yes. After the betrayal of Light Yagami and that incompetent sham of a Task Force was shut down, this place was seized by Interpol, which they've kept in their custody all this time. Completely untouched...until now." He explained. "They've given us exclusive permission to use this place and all it has at our disposal. Who knows what we could uncover in there."
"Come on now...I doubt there's anything here." I rebuked. "Wasn't that guy just USING the Task Force? No way would he leave anything behind for us to use NOW."
Auron smiled and looked at me. "Very wise of you. At the very least though, the computer systems should prove useful."
I laughed with delight and cracked my knuckles. "Oh yeah! Can't wait to get my hands on that system! Which reminds me...I have a laptop to get back..."
"What's that?"
"Oh nothing..."
"It doesn't really matter. It's getting late on in the day now though...I suppose we should go out to get something to eat." Auron deliberated.
After dropping off our belongings, we took to the streets. There was no better way to get around Tokyo than by foot in Aurons mind, I woulda preffered a motor bike or somethign but whatever. We walked a couple blocks, before I relized how unenthused Auron was. I just shook my head and looked around the place, thinking of old times. Then we were halted by a sidewalk accident. A woman had clumsily dropped all her groceries...which was actually just a bag filled to the brim with apples.
"What a mess, I hope that phone call wasn't important." Auron commented
"Yeah, it's a MESS. You could HELP...geez!" I bent down and started to help her clean up.
"Uh, you don't have to.." She started
"Just ignore him...he's like that to everyone. Even me." I commented with a slight laugh.
Auron handed her a single apple, and looked straight into her eyes. "We're GOING." He commented loudly and walked around her, continuing on his way. He seemed extremely irritated again.
"Auron dammit!" I shouted. I put the last couple apples in the bag quickly and jumped up. "Here's your phone...sorry about him." I apologized and took off in an effort to catch up. I came quickly behind, and we walked into the first cafe we came across. Passing a girl with green hair on her way out. "Whoa nice hair sweetheart." I remarked as I passed her. I don't know if she heard me but I know that Auron did. I could tell by his glare. We took a seat, and waited for our waitress patiently when I decided I'd give Kiamari a call seeign as Auron was busy wih something. As always it took him a moment or two to answer, then finally
"Moshi-moshi..."
" Kiamari You're Actually Up?! " I was shocked that he actually got out of bed.
" Hey Dante... So You And Aruron Are Finally Here In Japan Huh? "
" Yeah We Landed Alittle While Ago, Look Bud I Have Your Laptop You Want Me To Stop By And Drop It Off? "
" Umm... Sure Just Make Sure You Don't Drop It Dante " He laughed slightly at my obvious annoyence. He always emphasixed on the fact that I used to drop things all the time.
" Thanks For Reminding Me I Was A Total Butter Fingers Kiamari... Hey What Was That Name You Said You Go By Now? Completely Forgotten "
" SK, I Go By The Name SK "
" That Stand For Anything? " He seemed to freeze up. ' That's odd... wonder if he's feelin alright '
" It's Just One Of Those Little Names You Know The Ones... " I just laughed at him " Hey I Thought I Said No Laughing At Me For Thinking Of Such A Simple Name "
" I'm Sorry.. I'm Sorry I Just Think It's Kinda Funny, You Had ALL THIS TIME To Think Of A Name And Yet You Chose Two Letters As A Name Man You Need A Woman In Your Life! By The Way You Still Livin With The Kiamari's? " I couldn't help but keep laughing. He made it so easy to
" Alright Alright I Get It! Shut Up Aleady, No I'm Living In Their Appartment Complex Just Nine Blocks Away " He laughed to himslef " Besides That I Am Seeing A Woman "
" Oh? Well Come On Come On Let's Hear It Then " Silence " DETAILS DETAILS " I shouted
" Alright. She's A Nice Woman That's All You Need To Know Dante " Now I knew he was just trying to annoye me
" What?! That's ALL You Gotta Say About The Girl Come ON Kiamari What Is She Pretty? Is She A Total Babe? Come On! "
" Just Drop By Later And I'll Tell You More But Not Now Not Over The Phone Besides Aren't You With Auron? "
"Who are you talking to Dante?" Auron snapped me out of my conversation.
"I'm talkin to Kiamari why?"
"Give me the phone..." He held out his hand. I moved back but he leaned forward and smacked me on the head with his menu.
" Yes Dante Is Here With Me And We Are Discussing Important Business. He Will Be By Later On With Your Possesions... " I could here Kiamari laughing so I knew he was gonna piss Auron off
" Thank You Auron " He said in his mocking tone. He has a rather loud voice sometimes. Auron just sighed annoyed and I took the phone back from him.
" So Buddy I'll Drop By In An Hour Catch Yea Later! "
" No Dante HEY! " Atleast I think that's what he said I couldn't tell cause Auron took the phone and hung it up then put it in his pocket.
"Alright I get it but I do need to stop by Kiamari's place in about an hour Auron I need to give him back his laptop and I don't care if you come with me or not..." After eating I told Auron where I was going and got my phone back form him then headed off to Kiamari's. As I was walking lost in thought a car drove by and honked at me. I turned my head to face the person, it was Kiamari's mother and father. I waved as they drove by then shook my head and laughed. Finally reaching his appartment I knocked loudly on the door to let him know who it was. He answered in nothing but his boxer-shorts. "Yo Kiamari what's up?"
"Dante? I thought you said in an hour?" He said looking down the hall as if he expected someone to be following me
"It has been an hour bud"
"Has it?" He looked back up at me bleary eyed
"Damn right it has" I invited my self in and to my amazment... there was the woman with the apples from earlier sitting on Kiamari's couch...
