The Hitachiin jet had just touched down in Japan, and I was shaking with joy. Familiarity was surrounding me. The landscape, the people, the language being spoken. It was all perfect.
Mrs.Hitachiin had called me last night to tell me that two of my new colleagues were coming to pick me up. I'm so excited to meet them!!
As I walk out of the gate, I hear whispers not too far away.
"My God, she's gorgeous..." One of them starts.
"Seven years in Paris did her well..." The other continues.
"Very well." They state in unison.
Wait a second. Those voices... I know those voices! My head cranes in that direction. Two tall, orange-haired men with topaz eyes stare at me. Whoa... I just referred to them as men. It's because they look like it. They look... handsomer. Not too different from high school, just... wow.
"Hikaru!! Kaoru!!" I squeal as they run towards me, closing me in a gigantic hug.
"Oh, Kasumi! We missed you!!" They whisper excitedly in unison.
"You don't think I missed you guys?!?!" I demand as they take all of my bags from me.
Hikaru looks away, but I can see pain in his face. "Why did you leave?"
"It wasn't my choice... my parents..." I choke on my own words. "My parents wanted me away from you guys... so they sent me away..."
Arms wrap around me again. They hold me tighter than before.
"I-I only stayed to go to ESMOD..." I whisper out.
"Why didn't you respond to Tamaki's calls, Kasumi?" Kaoru asks.
"I-I wanted him to forget. I wanted you all to forget about me and live your lives..."
"We could never forget you."
We leave the airport together and get into the Hitachiin limousine. they put my things into the car and slide in on either side of me.
"What do you want to talk about?" The boys ask in unison.
"Oh. Tell me what I've missed. Who's got a girlfriend? Who's got a wife?"
Kaoru raises his left hand and I see the ring. Squeals escape me and I wrap him in a tight hug.
"Oh. My. God!!!! Kaoru!! Who is she?! What's she like?!"
"She's a really sweet designer that mom hired not even three years ago. She's got talent and potential, but her designs don't have much heart." Hikaru tells me, taking one of my hands.
The fact that he can so blatantly criticize his brother's wife is shocking, but I smile at him. "What about you?"
"I had a few girlfriends during university, but I'm single right now."
"Oh! What happened to Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai?" There's was two people I didn't want to know about, and I think they know that.
"Uh, Mitsukuni... he got married... to your sister."
My face pales. Wow. I did not see that coming. It must be because my sister had that Lolita way to her. She always had special feelings for Honey. Good for her.
My gaze shifts to Kaoru. "Takashi?"
"Oh, well, he's engaged." He explains.
"Really?! To who?" Happiness swelled inside of me.
"There was this girl who came to the club a few weeks after you left... they started talking and it seems as though they didn't stop." Kaoru smiles softly.
