Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: On My Way to Shibuya Pt 1

Last time, my dad persuaded me to visit him. I also spent time with Fiore on her birthday. That Monday, my dad dropped off the rental car. We got into our flight. I kept looking at my ticket. I want to keep it as a souvenir of my first Asian travel. My dad saw how happy I was. Izumi I would try to get some sleep if I were you. It's a twelve-hour flight. Shiki replied. Before I knew it, I fell asleep. As I slept, I was wondering how Axel was doing? Does he miss me? Maybe if Tristan took Fiore out on his day off. He promised me he would. My dad looked at me sleeping near the window. He smiled. A flight attendant looked at me sleeping. Is that young lady your daughter, Shiki? Kin asked. Yes, she is my daughter by Rachelle. Shiki replied. Your rebellious college years abroad? Kin asked. Something on those lines. Shiki replied. Do you need anything to eat, like chips or a meal? Kin asked. Yes, can I have lunch? Shiki replied. Of course. I'm glad you are finally trying for once. Kin replied. The flight attendant brought the food. The smell woke me up. I smell delicious food. I replied. What would you like to eat? Shiki asked. Is it breakfast or lunch? Izumi asked. It is lunchtime. Kin asked. Can I have that curry dish? I asked. Sure Izumi. Shiki replied. That cheapskate won't buy it. Kin thought. Shiki looked at the price of the dish. She's my daughter, remember that, Shiki! Shiki thought. He is giving in. Kin thought. Dad, if it's too pricy, I can order something. I replied. No, it's fine. Shiki replied. Dad, I can read your face all too well. I replied. I gave him the blank stare. I looked out the window, and it was nighttime. How many hours have passed? I asked. Well, it's been about seven hours. Shiki replied. Are you well acquainted with the airplane flight attendant? I asked. Oh, if you are thinking we're that "acquainted"? No, I am a childhood friend. Kin replied. Izumi, we are childhood friends. Shiki replied. I looked at him with such disgusted. Telling from your face, that's understandable. Kin replied. He has a wife and baby mom. You could never take him seriously, right? Kin replied. Don't turn my daughter against me, Kin. Shiki replied. Alright. Kin replied. She walks back to get my food. When she came back, I smiled. I was hungry from only having two breakfast burritos and an orange juice. As I blew the curry. I started eating. It has been so long since I have eaten good airline food. I replied. That's right, you usually go visit your mom's family in Europe, right? Shiki asked. Yes, I had a fish and steak airline dish before. It was so good. I replied. You have an enormous appetite for your size. Shiki replied. Are you saying that because of my breakfast of choice? I asked. It is similar to how your mom used to eat in University. Shiki replied. Wait, I want to hear this. I replied. Your mom would eat breakfast burritos, but she was on the track team on an international scholarship. She was a health junkie. Some things she told me, I take into consideration. Shiki replied. As I started eating more, I was savoring the taste of this curry. I thought. Some time flies we arrived at the Haneda Airport. We're here, Izumi. Shiki replied. I was sleeping again. I see you are going through jet lag. Shiki replied. He lightly shook me. Are we here? I asked. Yes and you're going through jet lag. Shiki replied. I figured that much. I replied. Let's get our luggage. I am ready to hit my bed to be honest. Shiki replied. It's fine dad, I can get my own luggage. I replied. The steward grabbed it down for me. I was angry, but his smile changed it. As we walked to the airport, I saw a little boy running towards dad. Papa! Takumi yelled. Takumi don't run off. Natsu replied. You must be Izumi? I am Natsu. Natsu replied. Nice to meet you, Natsu. I replied. Let's get going back to the house, Rii can't wait to meet you, Izumi. Natsu replied. Rii? I asked. Rii is your sister. You two are close in age. Shiki replied. Dad, I am more suspicious of you than before. I replied. Natsu smiled. As we walked to the car, I was flabbergasted at how beautiful the night was. The lights were bright as day. I turned my phone back on to start taking pictures when I arrived. What is Shibuya like? I asked. Shibuya the shopping district, train station, or Shibuya City? Shiki asked. Wait it's a city? I asked. Yes, you will have an eventful week here. Shiki replied. Papa, papa. Takumi replied. I'm home Takumi. Shiki replied. Calm down, Shiki let Izumi rest. Natsu replied. When you're up to it, I will have Rii take you sightseeing. Shiki replied. As we hit the highway, the drivers were peaceful. Something I usually never see in California. I thought. We to the exit fast. It's not really busy at night. Natsu replied. As she drove downtown, I saw the Shibuya Crossing that I saw on viral videos. I am actually here. I thought. As we were going straight. Their home was in a nice neighborhood. The garage opened and my dad closed it after Natsu parked the car. My dad took my luggage out the trunk. I glared at him. You are too independent. It wouldn't help to ask for help. Shiki replied. You must be Izumi? Rii asked. Yes. I replied. She is so happy to meet me. I thought. That is Rii. Shiki replied.Stay Tuned.
