Memory Lane [Already Busukan]

2 - possessive brother

"Don't you know that getting on that roof violates school rules? Quick down!" command skinny students with imprinted cheekbones.

"Bringing the school rules?" That guy parroted. Until this second they could only see the back of his suit which was fielded. But the silhouette seemed to make Kurumi no stranger to seeing the man.

"Then, who smokes on the roof and commits extortion, is that all allowed under school rules?" said the man chuckled cynically, then jumped down. "Of course if you want to pay five hundred yen for the money to keep your mouth shut, I can't think of seeing it either" he said with a condescending look.

"You!" the leader grumbled with clenched hands. "Wait, Mori!" prevent the skinny guy from holding his shoulder. "If not wrong, three months ago this boy from the basketball team was the one who got Nashika to the hospital. We may not be his opponent" he whispered.

"Sad. Let's go!" They turned towards the door. "This time I let you!" The sentence Mori said contained a threat.

"Who let you go before you apologize?" reprimand Rione. "You've been troubling and dirtying the book, that kind of thing is there no need to apologize?" he continued and managed to make Mori stop. Pelipis Mori twitched in annoyance. "You mustn't go too far!" mori clasped his hands. Seeing the attitude of Rione who he thought had ignited the flames of emotion was already reaching at the limit of Mori's patience. From the beginning he had not liked the man, either because of his nature or maybe the self-worth of other things he did not want to admit.

"What's? Wanna fight? Because today my mood is bad, I will handle all of you" said Rione who saw their plans.

Kurumi regressed herself when she felt a bad sign from them. Sure enough, the three students ganged at Rione so that even a fight could not be avoided. Moreover, Rione retaliated against their attacks.

Two minutes later, the knees that fell weak with bruises upfront became the end of their fight. While Kurumi was dumbfounded in her place watching Rione make them unable to dwell anymore.

"Sorry we were wrong. Please forgive us!" Mori and his two friends clenched their hands under Rione with their faces parched.

"Have gone!" expel Rione. In a hurry they left the roof. "Anoo, thank you for helping me." Kurumi's expression made the man look astonished. "When have you been so formal with me?" Next to his eyebrows raised.

"Eh?" Kurumi. "Whatchu mean? Have we met before?" The attitude Kurumi showed not only made Rione feel an oddity that was difficult to explain, but this unexpected question pulled Rione's back to turn completely, so they were now face to face.

Kurumi's plain face was observed by Rione clinging, until the deep twitching on the male's forehead was clearly visible, indicating that his mind was rotating violently.

"Shimizu Kurumi." Rione began to speak up after wrestling with her mind. "I still know you. You're a childhood friend of mine who disappeared without word at Junior High. But now you suddenly appear in our lives again. What the hell happened to you?"

Who is not surprised that even a big question mark has formed in Kurumi's head when an unknown person casually makes a paradoxical statement about her? It is undeniable when Kurumi feels gamam at this time.

Kurumi blinked once, as a reaction of her shock. "I'm sorry. I really don't remember who you are. But your words are true" he replied. The look of Rione's incomprehension was increasingly printed clearly. And he seemed to open his mouth before the sound of the door being opened imprisoned a series of sentences in his brain.

"Oh..." Risa appeared behind the door, confusedly staring at them in turn.

"Guts!" shouted the director, on a pair of artists who were doing roles in front of the camera.

"It's not usual for Rui to make mistakes repeatedly" whispered one of the staff who clumped as they directed their gazes at the young man who was sluggishly bowed in the chair.

Rui was well aware of the indiscretion of her mind towards filming today. "Did that rumor bother you? You look so hot in that scene." The expression suddenly sounded from the side. The manager commented, and Rui received the mineral bottle she was thrusting.

"I want to get to school right away," Rui timped with a straight glance without blinking after taking a quick sip of his mineral water.

"But your schedule is tight for today until the photo shoot later tonight. Tomorrow you start school again."

***

Walking alone in a new school feels like a lost child, not knowing which way to go, without purpose. Yes, as Risa was introducing each room, she was suddenly called to meet the teacher in her room. No matter what, it was clear that Kurumi was now lost in the deserted corridor.

Kurumi was waisted, her cheeks were puffed up, then she looked up right above her head finding a signboard above the nearby door that read Magazine Club. Is this an extracurricular corridor?

"Do I have anything to help you with?" Surprised in shock Kurumi heard a voice that sounded close from behind. He saw a man whose height was slightly parallel.

"Kurumi?" call the man in a questioning tone. While Kurumi turned her head confused. "You know me?"

Shogi's pawn is placed by the right hand of a man who appears to be sitting on a single sofa. While opposite him, Kentaro fell silent observing their shogi play closely. His opponent was not reckless, not even once had he won this game when fighting the monster man before him.

Kentaro admitted that the intelligence of the man who had served two years as the head of OSIS was somewhat terrible. Perfect is a word that can represent his figure. He is indisputable and always right. However, there is no perfect human being in this world.

The man known as Ren got up, standing looking at the view outside the big window. "He was lost, but Shion helped him introduce every room in this school" he said. Her lips grinned thinly together as her sharp irises caught a pair of gender-different pupils chatting while walking slowly in the garden.

"How did you know that?" Kentaro.

"I know his personality. But I didn't expect that we would all be together again" Ren said calmly. "By the way Ken--" Ren's words were instantly cut short by Kentaro bending his face. "The lion! I admit defeat!"

"It seems I heard the squeaking of the shoes and the flickering of the ring from the direction of the door. Did you hear that too, Shion-san?" point Kurumi forward. Exactly where they were outside after passing through the baseball and football fields. The man named Shion kindly offered to guide Kurumi to introduce this school.

"Ha 'i. It was a gymnasium. B sports hall on the right wing of the school. Usually used excrement basketball for exercise." Shion explained. Kurumi's eyelids were revealed slowly as her steps came to a halt on the lips of the sliding door that opened. The act of herding basketball by a black-shirted man inside created Kurumi's admiration for him.

"She looks cool" he said. "Is he the athlete of this school's basketball team?" Shion's flat gaze flickered. "Kurumi-san doesn't know him?"

"We met on the roof. But I don't know his name yet" Kurumi said, still not turning her eyes away from the sweaty men on the basketball court.

"Ishikawa Rione" Shion said. "That's his name."

"Don't complain too much! Fucking maniac numbers. More importantly we focus on this issue now" said Risa. Thick books were already piled up on their desks to do group assignments in the school library. As the most luxurious school, no wonder if it has a spacious reading room with two floors.

Meanwhile, Kurumi tiptoes to extend her hand to grab the book on the shelf. At that moment another hand picked up the same book. Kurumi was stunned as she turned around following the book that had changed hands. "This is for you" said the stranger. A smile as handsome as his face was engraved on his thin lips. Highlight the eyes full of male warmth - no matter how - could bring Kurumi to anti-gravity.

"You want to take this book, right?" Only then did the reprimand from the man draw Kurumi's consciousness back to the surface. He's woken. "Ah, yes. This is the book I want to take. Thanks."

The man smiled faintly. "You still haven't changed, Kurumi," she said softly, but could still be heard by Kurumi, who suddenly looked up at her head, as the man walked over her shoulder. Again, confusion haunts Kurumi's mind. Like a thread knotted irregularly, like that his mind when he had not received an answer to the events of this strange day.

If this is a dream, wake up. But if this is reality, then give me a bright spot!

The light of the sky had been replaced with street lights lit up along the way as the three teenagers walked out of the school district and separated at the gate after hours in the library to do chores. "Ashita's eyes!" Risa waved her hands cheerfully. He broke away from Kurumi and Kentaro due to different directions back home.

"Byeah!" kurumi did something similar. "Is your house still in the old location?" Riding a bus that happened to come shortly at the stop. Then sit next to each other, with Kurumi by the window. "Yes." Yeah." Kentaro paused for a moment. In that second Kurumi watched from the window someone run chased by a group of women before turning into another corner. "You owe me a story, Kurumi." Her firm request made Kurumi turn to look at Kentaro from the side. Quietly briefly. "Do you have time tomorrow?" said.

"I don't have a schedule."

"Good! Follow me to Akibahara, yes!"

"What's in there?"

"My favorite game kit is coming out!" Looking at Kurumi's spirit, Ken could only sigh lightly.

***

"Eh, isn't that actor Rui?!" the voice of a girl. Rui's body stiffened instantly behind the hood of the jacket. Freeze in the middle of the step when the middle of the road to relieve stress before the shooting break time runs out. Until you forget to bring a mask to cover the face so that it is not easily recognized. But it seems to have been found out.

Pretending not to hear and trying to walk as normally as possible without turning his head, intended to ignore the accusations of sound coming from behind him.

"That's Rui! I saw him come out of studio D!"

But this time he really caught up when another girl appeared from the corner while pointing at him. A second later the man took a thousand quick steps turning left. Occasionally look back, and somehow since when one or two people suddenly became a group of girls who ran after Rui.

Seeing that there was a dark and narrow alley between the walls of the house, Rui escaped to that place which led me out onto the big road. Circulated with a watchful gaze, until he did not find any signs of their existence, then Rui stepped out.

"Hah.." rui sighed to throw his body into the lobby chair of building D. He has returned to his shooting place safely.

"Levy! Katsum!" peekkik Kurumi's. His eyes sparkled like there was a star in his iris when he found a bowl of his favorite katsudon at the dinner table. The smoke indicates that the food is just ripe.

"Did your love for katsudon not change?" ask the father who's been sitting in the dining chair for dinner.

"I haven't eaten katsudon in a long time, dad.." I whined, and it's true. Even the last time Kurumi ate it was three months ago while still in the hospital. "What's katsudon's dinner menu?" Kurumi asked as mom brought a similar bowl from the kitchen. "How was your first day of school?" said mother.

"Many things happened. But everything's fine."

"Eat a lot to make you fat, my sister." Kurumi felt the touch of a large palm on her head as Ryu said so. Then he pulled the chair next door and sat there. She's such a caring sister figure, Kurumi is grateful to have a harmonious family. Although it can gather dinner like this alone is actually fairly rare.

"How's your job, Ryu?" ask dad. In addition to her busy working sister, mother is also a career woman who helps father's work. So that almost every day Kurumi is always alone at home. But the exception for today.

"There's a little problem. I was planning on going to Germany the day after noon" Ryu said, and Kurumi immediately connected. "Why so suddenly, brother?"

"The problem also came suddenly, Kurumi."

Ryu is the successor of their family business. Often he traveled out of town to abroad to take care of branch companies.

***

Knowing that she will soon be flying to mainland Europe, Kurumi feels compelled to take advantage of tonight to spend time with the man. Knocking on the door leaf twice then the door opened from the inside not long after. Ryu's field stature was plastered in plain sight. The glasses, which were perched on his nose, were believed to be a man struggling with a laptop keyboard.

"May I sleep with you tonight?" kurumi asked with her head. "Come in" said Ryu, opening the door wider.

Kurumi crawled on the mattress and pulled the blanket to cover half her body. But Ryu chose to sit down and continue work on the laptop screen.

"Onii it's time for rest. Sleep, I don't want you to get sick."

"A little while..."

Kurumi groans spoiled. "This is your sister's request."

"Ku-chan, you made me unable to resist." Ryu closes his laptop, takes off his glasses, and walks over to his sister. Getting inside the same blanket, then hugging the girl was like clutching a roll.

"Have you taken your medicine?" His voice sounded heavy on the side of Kurumi's ears. "You can recover. Believe me," Ryu said before peeling the youngest's head off. "Onii is. You don't have to worry, we're sleeping" Kurumi said half-sleepily in front of Ryu's chest covered in a gray t-shirt.
