Chereads / The Phantom Assassin / Chapter 5 - Unexpected Encounters

Chapter 5 - Unexpected Encounters

The Hankang city got exposed by the sunlights and the birds chipper sounded fluent and synced. The tree's leaves started to become more greenish and alive. The nature itself has become more alive, and the flower petals fell in the air, dancing and land on the ground. A perfect start of the week and a perfect season.

Ryu, just like always. Investigates cases about Saito and his minions, trying to find more answers to his questions but nothing came up.

Ryu:"Ughh, I can't find anything on this stupid internet" he then closes his laptop and crossed his arms. He then lays his head down and closes his eyes to take a nap on the dining table. "I'll just relax my eyes for a while,maybe until Ayumi will get here"

He then slowly falls asleep.

Ayumi's Pov

Ayumi admired the nature and it's view while she was heading towards Ryu's base.

Ayumi:"Waaaah,Look at all these beautiful flower petals!! I wanna take all of them home with me!" As she was close to his house an idea came up in her mind. "What if I'll scare him! I'm sure that he will freak out."

As she arrived at his house she slowly opens the door to not make any noise, She then comes in and notices that Ryu was asleep so it was her perfect chance to scare him.

Ayumi:"Oooo, I gotta be careful to not wake him upp"

She whispered. Ayumi slowly gets closer to Ryu and as she gets next to him she prepares for the prank. 

 

Present

Ayumi gets closer to his ears so she can shout really loud.

Ayumi:"WAKE UP YOU LAZY ASS"

Ryu then falls off the chair and freaks out.

Ryu:"What the fuck?" He says confused, "What was that for?"

Ayumi then laughs at his reaction and holds her stomach because she was laughing too hard.

Ayumi:"Got you! Get pranked!"

Ryu:"Nah,what the fuck is wrong with you because clearly you're not alright"

Ayumi:"Relax,I just made a little prank don't get that mad,mood detroyer!"

Ryu:"Geez alright,Don't call me a mood destroyer ye?"

Ryu:"Alright alright,mood destroyer"

Ryu:"Uhhh,also weren't we supposed to go to the supermarket today?"

Ayumi:"Oh yeah,I forgot!!"

Ryu:"Classic Ayumi..."

Ryu and Ayumi then went to the closest supermarket and bought products for dinner.

Ryu:"Ah,what are we gonna eat today Ayumi?"

Ayumi:"Curry with rice!"

Ryu:"You mean rice with curry?"

Ayumi:"Yeah yeah same thing"

Ryu:"Is it though?"

Ayumi:"YES,NOW SHUT UP!"

Ryu:"Alright alrighttt,don't get mad miss angry" 

As they were walking Ryu tries to start a conversation,Ayumi noticing. Decides to start one herself. Ayumi:"You know,You never got to talk about your family,We've known eachother for a week now and You didn't say a single word about them"

Ryu:"Well you never asked so of course I never mentioned my family"

Ayumi:"Listen I can't keep pulling information out of you,You gotta understand that!" 

she pouts

Ryu: "Alright alright, I'll work on that for you"

Ayumi then smiles brightly 

Ayumi:"Good"

Ryu:"So I have two younger brothers, So my first younger brother's name is Toshiro. It's quite a suitable name,it fits him well. Guy likes to play only but dreams to be a warrior. Then there is my youngest brother Asuka, He is quite a crybaby but he's really kind"

Ayumi:"That's a good description right there,But how old are they?"

Ryu then takes a second to think how old his brothers turned.

Ryu:"Asuka is five years old and Toshiro is seven."

Ayumi:"Ooo,and what about your parents?"

Ryu:"My mom's name is Ayaka and my dad's name is Ryo. Quite similar to my name you know. So my mom is thirty-eight and my dad is fourty."

Ayumi:"That's niceee"

They thrn got closer to the supermarket and stood in front of the door so they could end their conversation.

Ryu:" What about your family,Do you have any siblings or?"

Ayumi then takes a deep breath and lift her thumb up

Ayumi:"Later! We gotta go shopping now,we are running errands!"

As they walked inside the market to find groceries,Ryu was looking for the products they needed while Ayumi was walking around, looking at useless things that looked cool to her. 

Ayumi:"Ooo,Ryu can we get that?" She then points at a disco ball with cabled microphones "What about that? It's really cool!!" She then pointed at big box of chocolates.

Ryu:" Fine, we are getting these but we are NOT getting this!" he then put the chocolates in the basket.

They continued walking around until they finally managed to clear their list of the products they had to buy. As they left the store Ryu asked her the same question he asked before they went inside.

Ryu:" So about your family?" he then looks at her.

Ayumi:" Oh yeah I forgot!!, So there is my mom Yuki. She is forty years old, then my uncle Shun,he is thirty but I can introduce you to him, he is a really funny and cool guy. There is my little sister, Mio. She's just four but she loves swinging the sword already, she will probably become a warrios when she'll grow up." She then chuckled and took a short pause. "Then there is my dad.. His name is Tatsuya and he used to be a professional samurai,he retired because well... He's very sick, and I don't think there is a way to cure him.. And he is also forty-two" She then changes the topic about her dad to something more entertaingin because she doesn't feel confortable to vent to someone. " Oh and by the way, My mom now runs a restaurant. You gotta try it, She makes the best ramen in town."

Ryu:" wuuuuu, if there is ramen I'm down to try it."

Ayumi:"Hahah yeah, oh and also I have an-" 

Ayumi then starts looking away,all flustered because their hands accidently touched,as if they were holding their hands together.

Ryu:" I'm so sorry, I actually didn't mean that. It was an accident!!"

Ayumi:" Yeah, accident hahah!! We can call it a friendly touch!!"

Ryu:" Yeah!"

They both panicked after what just happened. Then a mysterious figure behind them went closer to them and said. "So that's how they call it now huh?"

Ayumi then turns around and looks at the figure. "Uh-oh,sister!?"

Akira:"Don't sister me ye get it? Now answer my question,Are you guys dating or what?"

Ryu:"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SISTER?!"
