1. She looked at him and said, “Akio?”
The man looked up at Sora and gasped in surprise, “Sora? Sora Neigino?”
She gulped and nodded her head.
He looked at her and opened his arms, “Koko ni kuru.”
She ran into his arms and said, “Sore wa anata o mite ureshīdesu.” As she
snuggled in deeper to his chest. He chuckled and she laughed, all the while her
friends and Sarah looked at her shocked, the only one that she ever did that with
was Leon her boyfriend.
May cleared her voice with a loud cough, “Ex-cuse me, but- could you tell me,
us all, what the hell is going on?” she half yelled.
Sora pulled away reluctantly from the man and stated in Japanese, “Kore wa
watashinohaha no soba kara, watashi no itoko Akiodesu.” She then realized she’d
used her mother tongue and replied in English this time. “Sorry, sorry.” She laughed
a little at her self and scratched the back of her head, “This is my cousin Akio, he is
from my mother’s side.” She looked up at Akio.
He bowed, “I-it’s a pleasure to meet you!” He stuttered a bit when speaking
English, but overall his word usage was rather good. He gestured to his companion
with his right hand, “I brought cousin, Aoi.”
Sora looked at Aoi a bit closer, the once skittish brown haired boy, now a
burly man with his hair shaved down, overall he looked quite menacing, then he
turned his face towards Sora and she saw his eyes, still the eyes of a innocent boy,
the eyes that always looked loving. He waved at her.
“Aoi, you’ve grown to quite the handsome specimen!” She laughed and
nudged his arm with her elbow, “You have got quite the muscle as well.” She poked
the arms muscle to make sure that they weren’t fake then preceded to give the man
a giant hug. “I MISSED YOU!” She wept on his shoulder.
“Now that we all know each other, can we please get to the task at hand?”
May said while looking slightly irritated at the people in front of her. When they
seemed to be listening she continued, “So, what are you doing here? And please state
it rather fast, we’re having a meeting that we need to be at pronto.”
Sora translated to Japanese to her cousins and they replied, given the limited
amount of English they knew: “We were sent here from, Elder Hachiro to look for
you.”
“What about?” She asked perplexed by which her elder from the clan would
wish to speak to her about.
‘You know the ritual they speak about when an heir reaches their 24th
birthday?”
“Yes I know the one…. Oh!” She blushed at the remembrance of the ritual that
she must go through. Then replied, “He does know that I have a boyfriend, correct?”
“Yes he insists that you bring him along.”
“Oh god no, I am not going to do that! Do you know how embarrassing that
is? He’s not going to believe me. Oh I know!” She smirked at her evil thought only on
the outside it only looks like a regular ‘I have an idea’ smile, but on the inside it is an
‘I have a master plan’ smile. “Akio and Aoi,” she puffed out her chest a bit and held
her shoulders up straight, “Anata wa 2 ga seishiki ni watashi no meirei nikawatte,
kare o shōtai shitai baai, watashi no bōifurendo wa, kare ga Nihon ni

2. watashitoisshoni kite jijō o rikai surudearou yuiitsu no hōhō wa, yuiitsu nodarou.”
(The only way that my boyfriend would understand the circumstances for him
coming with me to Japan would only be if you two would formally invite him, on
behalf of my orders.) She spoke in Japanese, One for the convenience for her cousins
and two to trick her friends.
“We understand.” Akio said and Aoi slightly nodded.
“Ok, now that we have that settled why don’t we make our way over to the
stage?”
On that note Sora and her friends and their 2 tag alongs, made their way over
to the Stage.
