Chapter 21 - We're lost

"Kimi is back!" shouted Takeo as we ran down the stairs. Yaito clapped sarcastically but smirked at me teasingly. "Let's go out to eat!"

"Sushi!" shouted Li, jumping up from a sofa where he had been sitting. "I want sushi... immediately," he said in english. Takeo laughed and ran over to him, grabbing his arm and yanking him to the kitchen.

"Come on Kimi-chan, let's get some money and go go go!"

I giggled and ran after them, smiling apologetically at a shocked Isei and an amused Azalea. When I threw myself through the kitchen doors, Takeo was already rooting through somebody's wallet.

"Isn't that Isei's?" asked Yaito as he walked calmly in after me, standing by my side.

"Shush," glared Takeo. "He'll hear, but a few yen won't be missed," he murmured as he pulled some notes from the pockets in the wallet.

"Don't you guys need to get into a disguise?" I asked as I followed Li, Takeo and Yaito out from the kitchen.

"No we-." began Takeo, but Isei interrupted.

"Yes, yes you all do. Apart from you Kimi. You have quite a plain, unremarkable face." Yaito glared at him.

"I think you should wear something, it'll be fun," he said kindly, handing me a scarf. I grinned and wrapped it tightly around my face, only leaving mouth and eyes holes.

"You look crazy," commented Makoto as he walked into the living-room, his eyes wide in confusion. "Where are you going?"

"We are going, as in all of us," Takeo deliberately focused that on Isei and Azalea who were clearly lovestruck, "to a sushi restaurant. Get your things on."

Li wore giant sunglasses and a baggy hat which covered most of his face, and Yaito wore sunglasses and his hood up. Somehow they both looked beautiful despite wearing unflattering things, whereas I probably looked like Shrek wearing makeup. Takeo grabbed my hand and I squinted at him. He hardly looked recognisable, having combed his hair back into some weird new style and wearing sunglasses and a scarf over his chin.

"Let's go," he said; his words muffled from the scarf.

"We'll catch you guys up," called out Azalea as she and Isei finally stood up. Meanwhile Makoto was putting the finishing touches to his wig which he had shoved most of his hair under. He ran out of the door with sunglasses in his hand and stood outside with Li, waiting for us.

"Bye," I waved at Isei and Azalea and left with Takeo and Yaito, joining Li and Makoto.

"This will be an adventure," exclaimed Takeo, skipping ahead.

Yaito yawned. "I hope we get there soon; I'm hungry." I pushed him to one side and he pushed me back, laughing. The force of his push knocked me into Li, who thought Makoto had hit him, so he hit Makoto who hit him back and all hell broke loose.

I jumped into the fray, pulling the laughing guys apart. They shouted, pretending to punch each other and instead bursting out laughing.

"Break it up, break it up!" shouted Takeo, standing there, hands on hips like a coach on a highschool sports team.

"Yeah, it's going to get dark and the ghosts will come out," warned Yaito, sneaking up behind Li and scaring him.

"You bully!" shouted Li, running to my side. He grabbed my hand and murmured, "You'll protect me, won't you Kimi-chan?" I laughed and blushed slightly, before pulling him along.

"Sure, I'm so good at karate," I joked, pretending to karate-chop him.

"Look at this karate chop!" yelled Takeo, jumping in the air and going for Yaito who shrieked in alarm.

The evening soon became crisp and dark. Makoto suggested with a nervous voice that we could hitchhike, but hardly any cars drove past so the idea was dismissed.

"I don't recognise this place," whined Li, kicking the road. Makoto agreed, walking along beside me.

"We're lost, aren't we?" I asked them.

"Yes," sang Takeo, skipping along in front. "But isn't it fun~?" Li shook his head, shoving his hands in his pockets.

We continued to walk in silence as the road grew progressively dirtier and the pavement thinner. Before we noticed, the pavement had disappeared and we were walking on open road, though by now it was more like a dirt track.

The trees bent inwards overhead, blocking the little bit of moonlight that shined down. No birds sang and so the silence was only broken by our footsteps. Eventually Takeo's skip turned into a walk, and then he stopped altogether.

"Should we ring Isei?" he asked, turning around to face us.

"Probably," said Yaito. "Who has a phone?" I felt around in my pockets but found nothing. In fact, the only person who had remembered their phone was Li. He held it up to his ear and began to talk.

"Isei? Yeah, it's me. Don't shout at me!" He cringed as Isei told him off. "We didn't get lost deliberately. What? You've already ordered the food? Well forget it and come get us! It's cold out here. Please, Isei." Li frowned and passed the phone onto Takeo.

"Isei listen here!" he shouted down the phone. "If you don't come and collect us NOW we will all die of cold or at the hands of a murderer and the concert will be off and you'll get shouted at by our manager! You'll lose all of your fame and your hardwork will have gone to nothing." Takeo smirked as Isei paused. "Thanks, we're down a side road. See you soon~." He handed the phone back to Li and wiped his hands.

"At least now that man won't kill us," smiled Makoto, pointing down the road.
