It's Destiny

Chapter 3: What the What?

Naomi's POV:

        Ugh I'd been sitting outside Natsuki's door for like four hours. It was nearly six pm. I was bored and tired and where the heck was this woman?! I looked up at the ceiling, counting the tiles once more. I'd ruined my Saturday. Ugh what if she didn't even live here? Ugh I'd been gone officially like nine or so hours...since last night I had been on the bus and got here and sat for a good four hours. I was so majorly bored.

I'd been here since 2pm, the bus dropped me off at 1 and my brothers and I had gotten on the bus around six thirty last night.

  I ran a hand through my hair as I shivered...I hadn't brought anything else but the clothes on my back and my bus ticket home. I sniffed pulling my shirt over my knees. I tipped over onto my side.

Unconsciously into a fetal position. What was I thinking? This was crazy and stupid and reckless and I just wanted my moms. I sniffed loudly as I stared at the door across the hallway. The tacky red carpet and the fancy white doors. This whole place screamed police officer...or detective or whatever she was. 

   "No loitering in the halls kid." A gruff voice snapped and I sniffed. A loud tired sigh filled the air. "Kid? Look kid, if you could take your pity party to the other side of the hall I need to get into my apartment. I sat up instantly and looked up. Meeting the eyes of an older version of the girl in the photo.

She had her pink locks in a high ponytail and she was wearing a white button down and black dress pants.
   "N-nat-su-kki?" I whispered uncertainly and she raised an eyebrow at me darkly.
   "Who wants to know?" She demanded and I stood, unable to stop myself from grinning like crazy I took her hand and shook it.
 
     "My name's Naomi-" her eyebrows furrowed and she studied my face. I smirked and her eyes widened.
   "Holy shit!"

No one's POV:

Denny frowned looking at Ben uncertainly.
   "This place is huge!" He screamed and Ben nodded sullenly.
   "I donno if we ever will find her..." He murmured forlornly and Denny gave his hand a squeeze of reassurance.

   "Are you two looking for someone?" A group of friends questioned and Ben nodded swiping at the tears glistening in his eyes.
   "We are looking for Yuri, she's our God mama." He sniffed and Denny nodded.

  "She has big purple hair!" He added in case there was any other Yuri's. The kids smirked.
   "The English teacher?" A girl asked and Ben shrugged.
   "I no know...maybe." he murmured and allowed the teens to herd them down the hallway and up three flights of stairs.

   "This is her room." One of the boys explained pushing open the door. Ben cautiously optimistic edged into the room tugging Denny behind him. A woman with long purple hair was sitting at the big oak desk, grading papers. She took off her glasses and looked towards the door.
  "Big purple hair?" Denny asked and Ben pulled out the yearbook from his backpack, opening to the page they had dogeared, he looked up at the woman then back at the picture.
   "Check!" He mimed checking with his finger. Denny studied the picture for a second.
   "Purple eyes?" He questioned and Ben looked down at the picture then back at the woman.
   "Check check double check!" He exclaimed jumping up and down excitedly. Denny high fived his twin.

  "Last thing to check..." Denny whispered as he approached the lady, who was watching him with wide eyes. "Um excuse.... Me um...miss lady ma'am lady...what's your name?" He asked placing his hands on her desk. She cleared her throat smiling slightly.
   "Um Yuri." She whispered and they high fived again.
   "Triple check!" They cheered and Yuri gulped.

  "Benny, Denny is your mama or mommy here?" She asked looking towards the empty doorway.
   "Nope!" Benny exclaimed popping the p with a proud smile. Yuri's eyes widened.
   "Excuse me?" She asked and Denny smiled resembling his mama.
     "Our sister stole mommy's credit card, and bought us a bus paper and we took one way and she the other!" He exclaimed merrily as Ben nodded along confirming his brother's story.
   "Yup we did it all ourselves!" He proudly proclaimed and Yuri stood starting for her purse. 

  "So neither of your moms know you're here?!" She asked increadiously and they nodded proudly as she fished out her phone and dialed out Monika's number, then Sayori's then Monika's. Sighing heavily upon gaining only their voicemails.

   "Hope Mama's rainclouds are gone now." Denny whimpered to Ben who nodded as he stood next to his brother both looking so small and helpless to Yuri. She hadn't seen them since they were itty bitty babies. Even then it was only for like an hour, before she had to leave because a certain pink haired woman she couldn't bear to be around had  showed up.  Shaking herself from her troubling thoughts She smiled at them gently and leaned down in front of them.

  "I'm sure your mama is feeling much better about her rainclouds I'm sure...but you should never leave home without one of your parents. Where's your sister?" Yuri studied the two boys. They were not dressed for the chilly beginnings of winter.
 
     "I donno she got on a different bus!" Ben explained and that thought worried Yuri just where would she have gone?
   "Come on, I'll drive you home."

  Naomi's POV:

   Natsuki was pacing. She would turn to me pointing and spluttering but she was too flustered to form any coherent words. I sat on her leather couch sipping a Sprite she had handed me, after shoving me into her apartment and slamming the door.

  "Let me get this straight... Neither of your mothers know where your teen self is, nor where your brothers are for that matter? You actually thought it'd be smart to steal your mom's credit card and hitch hike here because what you got a death-wish or what punk?" She demanded finally finding her voice and I bit my lip. I needed a real good excuse.

   "Mom and ma are fighting...there's talk of divorce...I heard stories about you.... How badass you are and thought you could help." I lied and she studied me. I mean she didn't have to know the stories almost always included her other half Yuri. 
    "Damn right I'm badass! Let's back to my home town, I'm going to kick their ass. Let's go kid!" I smirked almost too easy.
