Chapter 4 ~Flew across the sky~

“We’re home…” said Jessica, opened the front door as Kazuto followed behind. “… Ha, I forgot. My parents aren’t home.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“They went to a business trip this morning,” she said, turned to Kazuto with a smile.

Kazuto surprised.

“Well, it can’t be helped. Come on in,” she said.

Kazuto took off his shoes and followed her to the family room. He was daydreaming as he followed. This is a dream come true, not only living with Jessica, on top of that we are alone~ Yay~~

“Kazuto, you can wait here as I go change,” she said, left.

Go change? He took a deep breath. Don’t me… she’s going to…he was thinking erotica thoughts (that Jessica have changes her cloth, wearing a sexy kimono. She walks toward Kazuto as he relaxes on the sofa. She took off her cloths and lean on top of her body on Kazuto…)

Kazuto jumped that his cell phone rang all of the sudden. He noticed that he made a mess on the sofa, it was covered with his salivary.

“Yeahh?”

“Yo, where in the hell are you? Are you coming to the festival or not?” asked Max.

“Um…” he looked around. S**t, I can’t let Max know that I’m in Jessica's house. “I-I-I’m-I'm at h-h-h-home. I m-might n-n-not g-g-g-g-go.”

“Hehh… that took you quite a while to replied. Tell me what are you doing right now? Your voice is shaking, are you nervous? or.. since your parents aren't home. Are you watching those DVD that you rent from me?? Hehhhh?”

“I---s it? What hell no, I quit watching that DVD thingy” said Kazuto.

“You sound suspicious, are you hiding something?”

“ahhummnn…” said Kazuto.

“Kazuto, who are you talking to?” asked Jessica.

Kazuto had an awkwarded emotion and physical movement. He jumped intensely as he heard Jessica’s voice.

“N-n-nothing!” he said.

“Wait a minute, isn’t that... Jessica’s voice?!” yelled Max.

“N-no y-you got it all wrong its just the TV is on!” Kazuto screamed and hang off his cell.

“TV? You don’t have a….” he paused, and then continued. “…I'm pretty short that I did heard Jessica’s voice on the phone… Wait. Could those two have been doing…” said Max, imagined Jessica and Kazuto having a love relationship.

“Who were you talking to just now?” asked Jessica.

“Uh, It was Max.” said Kazuto.

When his eyes on Jessica, he realized she was wearing red kimono.

“What are you waiting for?” asked Jessica.

“Huh?” replied Kazuto.

“Didn’t Max tell you about the festival tonight?” she said.

“Ooh. Right, sorry. I thought he was joking.” said Kazuto, padded behind his head.

Soon after, the two of them walked down to the street and went into the festival. As they walked closer, the music and the crowd faded in. Soon after, they met up with Max and Tony at the festival. Max was cranky. When Kazuto went up to Max, Max slapped Kazuto’s head that he has been waiting at the festival for 16 minutes! Kazuto immediately apologized to him.

“No. It’s my fault that we were late; because I wasn’t sure which kimono should I decide to wear at the festival.” said Jessica, bowed. “Sorry guys to making you wait so long.”

“No, no, it’s okay. You don’t have to apologize. You look great today,” said Max.

“Aw~ Thank you.” said Jessica, felt relieved.

“Ooh. By the way, were you… at Kazuto’s---” said Max.

“No. He was with me at mine place,” said Jessica.

“What?!” Max and Tony, at the same time yelled.

“Jessica. Don’t even--- say it! I'm begging you!!!” said Kazuto nervously, tried to cover Jessica's mouth but then, Max and Tony caught Kazuto and hold him down.

“Please continue, Jessica,” said Max smiled.

“NOOOOO!!!” said Kazuto, struggling and tried to scream to cover his voice top of Jessica's voice. Max and Tony covered Kazuto's mouth.

“Kazuto just moved into my place,” said Jessica, blurted it out.

“KAZUTO!--- You son of a…” said Max, he started to choke on him.

“HOW DARE YOU MOVED IN WITHOUT TELLING US FIRST!” said Tony, squeezed his fist.

= = why don’t you mind your own business, Tony? Thought Kazuto.

“Wait guys! It’s not Kazuto’s fault that his mom wanted me to be his guardian while his mom is away for a few nights,” said Jessica, added.

“Now that explained,” said Tony.

“Heh, you're a lucky little baster, you just got saved by a girl,” said Max, backed up.

“Well, whatever~ As long you doesn’t do anything weird. OKAY GUYS. THAT’S ENJOY OUR NIGHT!!!” He yelled. Everyone screamed, “YEAH!!!”

There were games and many activities on the road. When time pasted, it was time to leave the festival. Everyone had a great time and they were tired. On there way before getting out of the festival area, Kazuto looked up at the sky. Then suddenly the world froze, at that very moment he saw something flew above his head. There were three of people worn in back with hood over their head and one of them’ hood was off; he had snow white hair and with a sword behind his back. Kazuto recognized the person with white hair, he was wondering that person is the transfer student from the other days.

After that very moment, he noticed everyone was frozen and he looked around. When he looked at the direction where those three people heading, he saw there was a gate opened near the mountain. As it opened, there was a strong light shoots into the sky and a loud noise. Kazuto was amazed and he heard his father’s voice was calling from him. Soon as he blinked his eyes; the world started to move again. He looked around, realized everything has backed to normal. Then again he flashed back where the gate opened, wondering his father is still alive asking for help.

“Kazuto, Kazuto, Kazuto, Kazuto, KAZUTO!!!” yelled Max. He had been calling Kazuto for quiet a while long.

Finally Kazuto turned to them. He looked as if he was confused. He then went up to them.

“What were you doing?” said Max.

“Are you okay? You were spaced out all of the sudden” asked Jessica.

“Uuh. I saw… everyone was frozen and there was a gate opened over there,” Kazuto pointed. “…and then I saw…” he paused for minute. “I saw my father was called for me to go to the gate.”

Everyone stared at him with a strange way.

“Uhh, are you okay?” asked Tony.

“Whoa. That’s pretty insane,” said Max. “Everyone was frozen and there was a gate in front?” he continued, chuckled.

“No. It’s true! I really did see it!” said Kazuto.

“Alright, alright,” said Max.

“Don't tell me... that was the devil's gate and they are going to take your soul away,” said Tony, laughed and Max started as well.

“Stop it you two!” yelled Jessica.

“Kazuto, I think you’re just tired.”

“Yeah maybe I am,” said Kazuto, walked along with others and ahead home.
