Chapter two
On his way home Roukin thought deeply about the girl. He was sure that what he saw was real. During the rest of class he tried to sneak glances at Junni’s ears but her hair was so thick that he couldn’t see them...if they were there. He also thought that it was odd that Junni wore sweat pants to gym class. Whenever he would try to talk to her he’d look up to see the teacher eyeing him sternly. Junni though seemed to be able to ignore all the stares and comments from all the other students and focus on the lesson intently. There was also an occurrence when a soccer ball had hit the window making everyone jump except for Junni who continued with the lesson as if it had never happened. She also declined any date or invitation anywhere from all the guys that asked her after school. As soon as she got outside the schoolyard when it had ended a young woman on a motorcycle zoomed up to her with a screeching halt. Junni got on and going at least 70 they rode off into town.
“Hmm I guess I can try to talk to her tomorrow before class starts.” he said walking with his hands on his head.
He could only think of how missing the chance to talk to Junni on his walk home. Once he got near his apartment complex where he lived he saw that there was a moving truck parked out front. He also saw his Mom and Dad carrying boxes.
“Mom, Dad! Are we moving? Why oh why? There’s so many hot girls here, my teacher’s a babe, and we have a new gorgeously hot transfer student today! We can’t leave!” he said running up to them.
As he made his way there, holding a box herself was Junni blushing like a tomato. Also there was a young woman snarling at him. She had long red hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a leather jacket, pants, and boots.
“Oh excuse my son, he’s still quite young at heart,’ said Mrs. Umigato grabbing him by his ears, ‘Roukin meet our new neighbors who are moving in across the hall from us. This is Minako and this is Junni. Girls, this is my son Roukin.”
Junni only looked away as Minako approached him.
"Since your so energetic how about you carry some boxes to our apartment.' she said handing him a box. 'Junni I've got to get back to work k. I think you can handle everything else on your own with our neighbors. Sorry I can't stay and help everyone."
"Oh it's ok, leave the rest to us. Please be careful on your ride back." said Mrs. Umigato.
"Oh and Rokin...' said Minako pulling him to the side to whisper to his ear, 'If you do anything to my little Junni I'll cut off your balls."
Leaving Roukin with a deeply surprised expression , Minako got right back on her bike and sped off at the speed of light.
"Um I'm sorry for Minako everyone. She can be a little overbearing at times. I hope not to trouble you.", Junni said with a bow.
"Oh not at all. We Umigatos are happy to welcome you isn't that right Roukin?" said Mr. Umigato giving him a sly smile.
"Right dad, very welcome." Roukin said returning the smile.
"Ok you useless clowns now back to work! No funny stuff both of you!" said Mrs. Umigato pushing them towards the truck.
"Oh Mom if it isn't you who's picking on me it's Mrs. Miko!", whined Roukin.
They all finished putting everything into the apartment before it got dark. Exhausted everyone got ready for dinner. Mrs. Umigato urged Junni to join them and wouldn't allow her to decline. Junni accepted only if she could help out in the kitchen. While the girls got everything ready in the kitchen Mr. Umigato grabbed Roukin and tugged him into the living room.
"Pops what's the deal? I wanted to watch Junni walk around in an apron."
"Well son if you listen to me then you may see it all the time. You've really got to pour on the Umigato charm on her. I can feel it, this one's a keeper. Don't scare her off like you do every girl you come into contact with. Just be subtle but not too subtle, be aggressive but not too aggressive, just be a man son. Do you understand?" he said with his glasses flashing.
"...no."
"Son just watch what I do and follow.", he said taking him back into the kitchen.
When they both walked in, the kitchen was ablaze with wondrous odors. Junni still had on her school uniform which was covered with a pink apron. When she saw Roukin looking at her she blushed and looked away. Roukin was just about to pounce when his father grabbed him by the shirt collar. Mr. Umigato made a slight cough and walked up to his wife.
"Ukane you look lovely in your apron. I'm so overjoyed that I married such a beautiful woman.", he said kissing her on the cheek.
"Jahiro your such a sweetie. I just picked up both of these aprons just today.", she said blushing.
Jahiro winked at Roukin and motioned towards Junni.
“Um... Junni. You also look lovely in your apron. It brings out your breasts which make them look even more delectable than usual.”, he said leaning over to kiss her on the cheek., ’Ow! Mom what’d you do that for? I was just commenting on how sexy she looks...Ow!” he said as she hit him with a frying pan.
His father only shook his head and sighed. Junni only blushed and looked away.
After about a few more tries and a bumps later, the food was on the table and delightful looking. They all thanked for their food and dug in immediately.
“Wow you two are amazing cooks. The food’s great.”, said Jahiro.
“Yeah I could eat this stuff everyday!”, said Roukin.
Both of the girls smiled and thanked them for the comments. After about halfway into the meal Ukane began to ask Junni about herself.
“So Junni where did you and Minako move from?” she asked with a grin.
“We really didn’t move from a certain spot. We kind of just moved away.”, she said sheepishly.
“What do you mean? You and Mrs. Minako had to have come from somewhere.” said Jahiro.
“Well we use to work for a circus in America.”, she said with her head down.
“Wow that’s really cool. So did you work as tent hands or something like that?” said Roukin with his mouth full of noodles.
“Oh no, we were apart of the show.’ ,laughed Junni, ’I’m an acrobat while Minako can do amazing biker tricks.”
Up until now Roukin had not seen Junni really smile. It was warm and comforting to see and he kind of wanted to see more of it. He was shaken out of thought when his father began speaking.
“So you and Minako can do all sorts of talented things?” he asked with interest in his voice and glancing at Roukin
“Um I guess so. I can do a little.” she said turning red.
“So that’s why you did the vault so well in the gym. You were truly amazing. Really dad she blew all the competition out of the water.” Roukin said in exasperation.
She simply nodded and continue to eat. It seemed that even though Junni was use to being commented and praised by others she was still rather shy though she really rather smiled more solemnly when she heard it. When dinner was done. Junni thanked them for having her over and asked to be excused back home so that she could unpack more. She quickly bowed and exited out of the room. Saddened Roukin walked into the kitchen began to get his things ready for school the next day.
“Roukin, what are you doing?”
Roukin jumped as he saw that his dad had snuck up on him while he was making his lunch.
“Don’t do that! What do you care? I’m getting ready for school.” he puffed.
“Son there are more important things than lunch. Like potential wives.” he said in a wicked voice.
“What do you want me to do? Go over there while she’s alone and...”
Like a bell ringing in his head, Roukin was off like a bang out the door.
“That’s my boy.”, said Jahiro teary eyed.
