Chapter Four: The Visit I
Class ended rather quickly, Moon was actually getting good and accepted in school, he was the talk of the school, even on the school's website, he was everywhere.
There were photos of him on every page, photos that he didn't even know were taken.
He stood in front of the school's door sitting on the stairs, reminiscing the past event that took away his happiness. He remembered the day he fell and got humiliated in front of the whole school all because of...…Rika Fujimoto.
Suddenly, he was distracted by a voice.
"Moon! Moon!" Mio called out.
"Where have you been, I have been looking for you all around the school,"
"What do you mean you have been looking for me around the whole school? We are in the same class, we came out together. Didn't you see me?" he asked
"Well...of course I saw you but you just disappear out of nowhere. How do you do that? Do you have magical powers?" she asked sitting beside him leaning in.
"Whaaaaaat? You're crazy, I don't have magical powers," he replied gazing at her with a weird look.
"Come oooooon, I promise I won't tell anyone, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaase," she insisted leaning in closer.
"Promise?"
"I promise, I won't tell anyone," she replied
"Come closer,"
She leaned in closer and closer and so did he. He opened his eyes and Mio expected words to come out but was hit with a knock from Moon to her head
KNOCK!
"Ow!" she groaned
"What was that for?"
"Stop asking me stupid questions, it's getting late, we have lessons to teach today, also, you have to introduce me to your aunt. Let's go," he replied walking towards the street.
"You didn't have to hit me like that," she muttered
"What did you say?"
"Nothing," she replied voice trembling a little out of fear and shyness
They walked down the street, four blocks from the school into a very tall near building. They entered an apartment, the entrance was decorated with roses which made Moon smirk a little, he even took six and snuck it into his bag.
"Welcome...to my home,"
The apartment had flowers everywhere infiltrating the house with beauty. The room's air was exchanged with the beautiful aroma of chicken stew and rice with sushi rolls and all sorts of dishes.
"Wow," Moon exclaimed
"Auntie! I'm hoooooome," Mio yelled dropping her bag on the couch.
"Oh Mio, I'll be right there," said a woman in the kitchen.
Moon stood there a little, not sure of what do do next, he sat on the couch like it was his.
"I'm coming dear," the woman said again coming out of the kitchen wearing a short knicker and a singlet covered with an apron.
"How are you dear? How was school? Was it okay—?" She asked hugging Mio and stopping noticing Moon on the couch.
He sights her and stands immediately, greeting with a respectful bow.
"Good afternoon ma," he uttered
"What? Ma? Oh no, I am not that old am I Mio?" she asked glancing at Mio
"No, he's just being respectful, Moon, this is my Auntie, Minori Shirasaki. She's my dad's younger sister, and she's in her twenties, and Aunt Minori, this is Moon, Kawasaki Moon," Mio introduced.
"O-oh, my bad, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Minori,"
"Oh please call me Minori," she replied
"Okay...…..Minori,"
Their eyes locked on each other for a while before they were interrupted by Mio's sudden intentional cough.
"He's gonna be staying here or a while, I hope that's alright aunt Minori?"
"Oh, staying....here?" she asked pausing for a while.
"Don't worry, he's gonna be teaching me math, nothing else," Mio added
"Nothing else?" asked Minori
"Oh, I thought he was your boyfriend,"
"W-w-w-what? Boyfriend?" both asked face growing pink little by little.
"Oh no, he's not my boyfriend, we are just....friends, that's.....all," Mio muttered
"Oh okay. Then you came just in time. I cooked lunch, why don't you go freshen up and come back down for lunch?"
"Yh okay,"
"Mio darling?"
"Yeah?" she replied
"Take him to your room, you know there's no other room apart from mine and we can't have him in mine...…or do you?" asked Minori
"What? My.....room? I didn't even think of that. Ho would he see my room, it's messed up, I just hope he doesn't see anything he's not supposed to see," Mio thought to herself
Before she could speak, Moon was already heading upstairs to the room. He stood infront of a door about to enter but was stopped by Mio.
"Wait, you can't go in,"
"Why? You heard your aunt, move,"
"No, I have to clean up first, my room is a mess," she insisted
"I don't care, move over," he said moving her out of the way entering into the room.
He walked in but suddenly stopped as he stepped on something. It was a piece of cloth, small, looks weird.
He brought it up to see it but it was immediately snatched by Mio.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, it's for girls only," she replied
"You don't need to know,"
Moon looked around and found out that the whole room really was a mess. Minori walked in and saw the whole room in a mess; snack packets everywhere on the bed, clothes here and there, utensils, stationeries lying everywhere. There was even a piece of cloth hanging on the fan.
"Mio? Your room is such a mess. Oh my gosh, when last did you clean your room. I thought you said you did it this morning," asked Minori
"She did?" Moon inquired
"Yeah, she said she cleaned her room well that it was sparkling clean,"
"Oh it's sparkling alright, sparklingly dirty," Moon uttered
He grabbed her by the ear lifting it up to the length that she had to stand on her toe.
"Ow, ow, ow, why are you dragging my ear? Leave me, I won't spare you," she complained
"First clean up your room, then you can complain all you want," he replied her finally letting go of her ear.
"Ok, I'll get to it," she said taking a broom that was behind her door.
Minori chuckled at the scene covering her mouth with her hand.
"It seems like I don't have to do anything. I'll leave everything here to your boyfriend in the disguise of a tutor," she said running away
"Come on Aunt, I said he's not my boyfriend," Mio complained
"It's not like you could handle me," Moon commented heading to the bathroom to freshen up.
"I'm gonna freshen up, this mess must be clean before I'm done,"
"This mess must be done before I'm done," Mio mimicked while cleaning up.
"I heard that,"
"I didn't say anything," Mio said in fear cleaning up with more speed.
After minutes of cleaning up, Mio finally collapsed on the bed exhausted.
"Hooooooo, it looked like I cleaned up the whole world, I'm super exhausted and he hasn't even come out yet,"
Immediately shewas done talking, Moon came out of the bathroom wearing his gym shorts (knickers), his abs were tight and strong, muscles grew strong as he wiped his hair.
"So handsome," Mio muttered
"What?"
"Uh, nothing, I'm…..done, I'm done cleaning," she uttered
Moon looked around the house and it was tidy.
"Cool, it's nice. I like it. But if I'm gonna be staying in your room, there's gonna be some rules,"
"Excuse me? This is my room,"
"I know," Moon responded
"But....I haven't shared a room with anyone so, there's gotta be rules. Rule number one, no touching my stuffs,"
"Why would I wanna touch your stuffs? It's not like you've got gold in your bag, even if you did, I wouldn't put my hands on your stuffs...…or maybe I would,"
"Rule number two, no...noise. I hate noise and I love the peace and quiet, of you make noise, you'll serve punishment
"I shouldn't just throw you out of my house. Idiot," Mio muttered forgetting he was there
He glanced at her, walked u to her, with each step he took forward, she took backwards till she hit a table.
He placed one hand beside her leaning on the wall, he leaned closer and when she closed her eyes...…..he bent and took a book from the table behind her.
"Rule number three, the last and final rule;....no telling anyone in school that I'm tutoring you,"
"Huhn? Oh, y-y-yeah, okay,"
"Come on down stairs guys, lunch's ready!" yelled Minori.
"Coming!" Mio replied
Moon wore his gym shirt and headed down the stairs
"Miooooooo, what were you thinking, you thought he was gonna kiss you? Huh, you've got to have control over yourself, you don't want to look bad in front of the school's celebrity," she thought before getting hold of herself as she went downstairs for dinner.
