Part 3
[Közi]
“I can explain it, uncle Koji. Please. Don´t send us back”, Ema begged and Akiko nodded sleepy. When she couldn´t hide a yawn I got up and carried her on my arm, I gestured Ema to follow. “You both sleep now. We can talk later.” Ema smiled brightly and cuddled up to her sister who was already half asleep on my bed. “Thank you!”
I left the room and lit a cigarette. More trouble. Great. Just what I needed….
After a few minutes I got up, checked if the kids were sleeping and then called my brother.
“Hey Oni-chan…..”
“Koji? I´m sorry I don´t have the time to talk. The girls….”
“They´re here.”
“What?”
“They´re here”, I repeated calm. “Right now they´re sleeping in my bedroom.”
I heard a long relieved sigh and a small cry of joy when my brother told his wife that the kids were save. But then he seemed to realize what I just had said. “They´re with you? In Tokyo? They drove all the way from Niigata to Tokyo? Alone?…” before he could go on I interrupted him. “Oni-chan, don´t worry. They´re fine and you know I take care of them. Let them stay here for a few days and they´ll come back on their own.”
“Don´t you have to work? And Koji, they´re kids. You can´t just give in and …”
“Ran”, I sighed and lit another cigarette. “I bet whatever happened, the girls think it was important enough to run away. Be glad they came to me and did not end up somewhere else. I´ll take care of them. I don´t have much work right now and I could need some days off. And by the way, I wasn´t much older than Ema when I left for Tokyo.”
“Yeah…that´s the point”, I could hear my brother whisper. Silence followed and I could almost hear him thinking: ´Yeah, and look what had become of you! Okay, you´re not poor and do what you love to….but……” Finally he said: “And you really got the time to take care of them for a few days? I could come on Saturday and pick them up.”
Saturday, that meant five days. I had some work on Memento, my new solo single but that could wait till next week. Yu~ki was helping me with it anyway. The next Eve of Destiny Tour would be in fall…..yeah, I had some time left. “Sure.”
Ran thanked me and I hang up. When I looked up I saw Ema standing in the door. She must have overheard my conversation with her father. I smiled faintly at her and she ran to me and hugged me tight. “Thank you uncle Koji! You´re great!” I laughed and she let go.
After we had sat down on the couch I asked her: “You tell me now what happened?”
Ema sighed and played with her thump-ring. “They got mad at me and so I took Aki-chan and left.”
“But there must be a reason. I mean, you´re not a quiete girl, I know that. So they often get mad with you but why did you run away this time? Was is this bad?”
She kept quiete and I didn´t ask again. She would tell eventually. So I just sat there, smoked and stared at the black screen of the TV.
For around half an hour I felt my niece fight with her inner self then she suddenly said: “I skipped school.”
“One day? Oh, come on Ema-chan. Your father´s not like that. He wouldn´t shout that much at you for staying out of school one day.”
“No, not one day. I totally skipped it.”
“You WHAT?”
Her eyes gleamed angrily at me. “Oh, come on uncle Koji! You left school with 16!”
“That´s something different!”
“No, it´s not!”
I sighed. Great, she had me. But still I couldn´t let my niece end like me….
“We´ll talk about it tomorrow, okay? As I said, you and your sister can stay here for a while. Go to sleep now. I have to work a bit.” She nodded pouting and went back to my bedroom. I took my accoustic guitar and went into the basement of the house where I had my tiny studio. I had to think about what she had said and I had to find a plan to make her go back to her parents and back to school. I didn´t regret much what I had done back then, but still I didn´t want her to end up like me. It had been a hard time coming here and surviving in the huge city.
[Gackt]
I first thought I had the wrong adress, when this young girl opened the door. She could not be older than 15 I guessed and I honestly doubted her to be Közi´s girlfriend. ( He wasn´t like Hyde ^^; ). Nor did I know that Közi had a daughter – and for that she was deffinatly too old.
I already wanted to leave again when she realized who I was and quickly took my hand. “Gackuto-sama!” I twitched and showed her a smile which was reserved for fangirls. “Hi.”
“Come in Gackuto-sama. Uncle Közi´s in his studio. I´ll get him. He worked all night and didn´t come out this morning. Is he always like this?”
The girl kept babbling on and in the meantime dragged me to the mainroom, placing me on the reddish couch. “I´ll go get him. He really needs a break and ……” I couldn´t hear the last words, she was already out of the room.
I leaned back and looked around. Közi´s new home wasn´t very different from the one he lived in during Malice Mizer times. It was slightly bigger but it was still the same chaos. Tiny Horror items everywhere and most of the furniture was red. His main room was neat clean and my gaze stopped at two huge butterflies on the wall.
“Nyan.”
Blinking I looked down to see a reddish cat gazing up at him. “Hey Zaku, long time no see.” I reached down to pat one of Közi´s beloved cats but just earned a deep scratch on the back of my hand. “Ouch! Hey! I´m a friend of your daddy, remember me?”
Zaku mewed satisfied and climbed on the couch, making himself comfortable close enough but not letting me out of sight. Rara didn´t seem bother. She laid on a plushed chair and cleaned her paws.
“Gackt!” Közi entered the room, followed by his niece. He looked tired but smiled. Sitting down he lit a cigarette and offered me one. I nodded thankful and Közi asked: “Why are you in Tokyo?”
“Did you work the whole night? You look tired. I can come back another time….”
“No, it´s okay”, Közi smiled and looked back at his niece who was still standing next to the couch. “Ne, Ema-chan, Gackt and I wanna talk alone. Can you go and play with you sister for a while?”
Pouting that she couldn’t stay with the adults, the girl left the room, closing the door a bit more soundfull than needed.
“Since when do you have children?” I grinned.
“They´re my nieces. My brother´s daughters. They stay with me for the week.”
“They ran away and came to hide with you”, I guessed.
Közi laughed and nodded. “You´re right. Why are you here?”
I leaned back and sighed. Why was I here? Actually I had some photoshootings here and some interviews about my new CDs…..but why did I visit Közi? I had wanted to see him and I wanted to ask him… “You already talked to the others?”
Confused he blinked. “About what?”
Twitching I moved on my seat. “I ….I would like to meet them again. Yu~ki and Mana, I mean. I think, maybe we can talk it over and ….”
Közi´s eyes widened. “You think of coming back?”
