bonkaki’s Neighborhood

Shiro

I never really liked sharing what I felt. But then when Okasan died recently, things changed.  In a way I, became closer to my siblings.  Well, Sachiko-neesan wasn't really much of a girl so it was easier to talk to her.  Minna didn't know but I talk to her when we're alone in the house.  She was kind and made Beef stew like Okasan did.  Mou~ even if she isn't really my older sister...her and Saburo-niisan, they were family.

Planning to move away with aniki and otouto, I was tidying up like everyone was.  The house was buzzing,aniki and otouto were moving to Edogawa-ku in Tokyo.  I'm the one who suggested it since we all wanted to move on and start anew.  Its just sad that Saburo-nii and neesan wanted to stay instead.  It would have been nice if Jiro-nii and neesan... mah... Its obvious anyway, how aniki looks at Sachiko-neesan.  I smirk as I was tidying up the room I shared with Goro-kun.  It brings back a lot of memories of how we all shared this house..no.. home with my siblings and the happy, sad and often crazy times with everyone.  Otousan would always be there, so was Okasan.  But that was not to be.  Otousan had moved to Chiba, where our clan was originally from.  He felt like he couldn't stand the loss of Okasan even if we were around.  I think its alright.  I was running away myself from the pain.  It was what was best for him.  I was woken from my reverie when Goro-kun showed me an old picture we had of the family.  We had to take that with us. This memory.  Smiles and laughter.  I wondered where neesan was.  Hmm..must be in the kitchen, it smell like curry today...Ichiro-niisan loved it a lot.

That's when Saburo-nii called our attention to a letter he held.  It was addressed to us, apparently from Okasan.  We all read it.  My heart was warmed yet I felt I couldn't just leave.  I couldn't just move to Tokyo.  Not just yet.  I had a good job waiting and so does aniki and otouto but...  Neesan was crying.  I wanted to reach out and talk to her as she did to me but something stopped me.

Ichiro-niisan took the plans we made and tore it.  I was glad he did.  I then noticed Sachiko-neesan rush to the bathroom.  Mou~ not again... Only Jiro-niisan can do anything now.  Saburo-niisan rushes to her but we all knew the obvious.  Aniki got the keys from the top of the fridge and walked to where Saburo was to open the bathroom door.  It will all be ok soon.  I smirk again as otouto said he'll let Otousan know we're staying a while.  I make jokes and chide neesan as she was led out of the room by Jiro-niisan.  Dinner would be fun again.  I smile and help with setting the table.

Maaah~ shoganai ne?  I love this family even if I don't say much.
They do mean a lot to me.

I sighed as Jiro-niichan insisted on keeping the big room while we laid plans for our move.  It was plainly irritating.  In spring, we'd be at our new jobs in Tokyo.  I will be an apprentice in an architectural firm.  Shiro-kun will be supervisor in a konbini near our place and Jiro-niisan....?  He hadn't told us yet but I knew he was called by a few law firms already.  The pain was unbeareable for all of us.  Most especially Sachiko-neechan.  She and Saburo-niichan aren't our blood brothers but we were raised to feel that they just the same.  Kazoku.  That was the most important thing to us.  Okachan said be there for one another even if things got hard.  But now that she's gone....most of us found no reason to stay.  Ichiro-niichan is engaged to marry soon and everyone had their lives ahead of them, it was only fair to do what's right and move out.

After tidying the room I shared with Shiro-kun, I found an old picture.  We had to keep it for the new place we were going to rent out in Tokyo.  All happy we showed it to the others but Saburo surprised us with something that almost tore my chest in pain.  Okachan had written to us before she died.  Move on and she will aways be there for us, to look after us.  I almost wasn't able to control the tears.  After a few deep breaths, I was calm enough.  But when I looked up, neechan was running to the bathroom already.  She was already crying, in her silent way.  It was painful to see.  I looked at Jiro-niichan, yappari, he stood up and went to her.  I always thought there was something between those two appart from the fact that niichan was close to the twins.  But as I saw that, I knew it will all be fine.  Neechan will be laughing in no time and we will be having her curry for dinner.  I looked on at Ichiro-niichan throwing away the plans he tore of the move.  Taking out my keitai, I told them I'd let Tochan know we won't be moving just yet.  We want to be together with Okachan a bit more.

There's something weird with the email CDJapan sent

Ichiro~

Its been some time since okasan had passed away, I talked it over with the rest of my Otuoto..ah, sumimasen..I forgot that Sachiko was a girl... and Imouto that we need to go on our separate ways.  I was going to move to a fishing village in Tomosaki-ku to start a "Fishing School" apparently it was a good thing to start over there.  Jiro was going to move with Shiro and Goro to Tokyo.  They were going to find work in sping.  A good start for anyone.  And the twins, well...Saburo and Sachiko were inseparable still.  We all wanted to stay together with those two yet they did have a world of their own.  Only Jiro-kun was able to ge to them at all.  They were good in music both of them and passed in TouDai's Arts Department but the passing of Okasan got them rooted on the house.  They didn't..no..Sachiko didn't want to leave.  We were the only family they knew of.  We all knew that they were adopted yet we felt like they were our own.  Sachiko most of all, the only girl in the family, we had to take care of imouto no matter what.  Well, Jiro-otouto overdid it sometimes but I understand him.  Imouto was kind of careless with her actions and didn't mind being around guys even at a young age.  Although it was funny how she got ne engaged to my fiance at the moment.  Her good friend, Nana-chan.  

I smile at the memory as i tidied Okasan's shrine.  Her lovely face smiled back up at me as she did the day I introduced Nana-chan to her.  It was something I will never forget, Okasan wasn't the type of mother who scrutinized everything.  she trusted us and our decisions.  At the end of the day when Nana-chan had gone home.  I can remember Okasan saying I made the right choice and she was happy.  Tears welled in my eyes as I tried to blink them back, that's when Saburo called us about some letter that he found.

As I read it, my heart was full of happiness and sadness at the same time.  I think I would need to postpone my leaving.  Looking around the table as the rest of my siblings read the letter.  We wanted the same thing, I took the plans and tore them.  It was the right thing to do.  I turned around in time to see Sachiko run into the bathroom.  She was crying again.  I had wanted to comfort her but then again, I wasn't any good at that kind of thing.  Jiro-kun, walked to the fridge as Saburo ran after his twin.  I knew what would happen next.  Jiro would open the bathroom door and hold Sachiko.  It was all going to be fine. Goro smirked and said he would let Otousan know we're staying for a while more than expected.  I just nodded and smiled.  Shiro smiled and followed me to the bathroom, we could her laughter now.  It will all be ok.  We will be having the dinner that Sachiko made for us like always.  I just hope that Jiro will alway be there for the twins, had I wanted to take them in, I'd never understand them like he does.  

Saburo~
It's been a few months since kachan died.  We decided to move out and go on with our lives.  Tidying up the quaint house was going to take us all day but it was worth it.  I was taking down the plaque tha hung out next to the door as my brothers argued what to do.  My twin sister was nowhere in sight, she must be in the kitchen making lunch.

As Jiro was busy drawing plans of the things that need to be taken out and how things should be moved with Shiro and Goro, I came across an old picturebook.  It had our memories.  When Sachiko and I came to be a part of the family way before the two youngest were born.  Tochan and Kachan were kind enough to take us in as their own.  I took a deep breath and smiled.  Seeing how we grew up, the laughter and tears that each shared with us.  We were thought of as part of this big family.  In spite of everything, there was no ill-willed feelings towards myself and Sachiko, as we our siblings.  Demou, with Sachiko being the only girl in the family, she was spoiled yet overprotected.  She was one of the boys, so to speak.  But even so, I can see something that the others may or may not have noticed.  Jiro-niichan and Sachiko were quite close.  Well, niichan was always with the two of us really but he paid closer attention to my twin.  Its funny but be that as it may, I don't find it akward nor wrong.  Why am I saying this? Well, it's the truth ne?  Sachiko and I were adopted.  My smile faded as I turned the page of the album and saw Kachan's smiling face holding up a drawing that Sachiko made yers ago.  Her smile was heartfelt, she appreciated the effort that went into the gift she got.  That was many years ago, I turned the page again and reached the end of the album.  There was a letter addressed to us.  It was Okasan's handwriting, we all knew it so well.  I started reading it, almost cried but suppressed the feeling.  Standing up from the table, I gathered the others and they each read it.  Okasan wanted us to go our own way one day, saying she will always be there for us.  It was Sachiko who didn't hold back.  She was the last to read it, running off to the bathroom with it and slamming the door behind her.  It was her way of dealing with things, we understood.

Ichiro-niichan then took the plans that we were making that day and tore it.  He looked at us.  We all felt the same, we wanted to stay a bit more in the house, no, the home we shared with Okachan.  I then went to knock on the bathroom door.  No sound, no answer.  I knew who cam make her stop but before I could call out his name, he was already behind me.  His hand on my shoulder, a nod affirming that he knew what to do.  I stepped aside for Jiro-niichan.  He already had the key to the bathroom and opened it, there at the corner near the shower was Sachiko.  I understood her pain.  But I didn't know what to say. It was niichan who held her and said softly that it will all be alright.  Sachiko always cried without a sound.  But you'd know she was fine when she was breathing normally instead of the sharp intake she made every now and then.  When that happened, I step in and make a joke and get her to laugh like we used to.  The three of us were the closest.  Then again I have always thought Jiro-niichan looked at Sachiko differently.  I may be wrong but then again.  Who knows?!  Soon the high-pitched giggles and the chuckles from niichan and myself echo in the glow of the moonlight, streaming through the window high on the wall on  one side.  The others crowd in and start chiding us.  Pulling Sachiko oout of the bath and helping her set the table for dinner like we always used to as a family.

want more?? tell me ok?!

嵐の魅力に迫る。櫻井翔の(秘)告白

Day 1 was Shokun!

I love the way they are approaching Arashi as multi-talents vs Idols. That's truely how I feel about them too. They are just not ordinary Idols.

Tomorrow will be Jun-kun!!

I called my first blog "The unused blog".

Just for the fun of it.

It's been years now and I don't really use it anymore..sure i still open it but I don't update anymore.

I hope this blog won't suffer the same fate.
