Start Over

Chapter 24

"Fine" he rolled his eyes, "I guess I have no choice but to forgive you. After all, I have nowhere to go."

"That was also to be expected" I thought.

Mom pulled Ryu to join our family hug. Now we were a family again.

"I just want to clarify that I didn't know that mom had cancer. I knew she was sick, but I didn't know what it was that she had" Yoshito explained.

"It's okay, lil bro! Let's forget all that. Now the important thing is to be united and support mom in her recovery" I told him and I looked at mom, "you'll get out of this mom. I promise."

Third Person's POV:

"Good morning, Momoko!" Miyako exclaimed.

"Good morning" Momoko yawned.

"How are you?" Miyako asked her.

"A little bit tired. Yûsuke came to see me last night and after that I couldn't sleep. I already gave him his present" Momoko explained.

"Really?! And what did he tell you?!" Miyako asked in excitement.

"That it was a gift that couples gave each other" Momoko replied.

"Ha! Told ya!" Kaoru chuckled.

"I think it was a nice touch" Miyako tried to cheer her up.

"Ryu also went to my house yesterday. He spent the night at my house" Kaoru told them, with her arms behind her head.

"Wow, your parents must love him very much!" Miyako exclaimed with surprise.

Kaoru shrugged.

"What about you, Miyako? Did Yoshito went to see you?" Momoko asked her.

"Um, something like that" she blushed, "we met at the park and talked a little. After that he asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Aw, that's cute" Momoko smiled, but suddenly realized what Miyako said, "he what?!"

Momoko started shaking Miyako as she yelled at her and asked for details.

"Did you said yes?! How is it possible that you have a boyfriend and I don't?!" she yelled at Miyako.

"Tss" Kaoru scoffed, "I didn't think to tell you this, but Ryu and I have been dating for a while."

"What?!" Momoko screamed and started shaking Kaoru too, "why are you so selfish?! Why do you do this to me?! Can't you see I'm sad and alone?!"

"Hey, girls" Yûsuke's voice suddenly interrupted them.

Miyako and Kaoru were immediately nervous, but Momoko kept yelling at them.

"Shut up!" Kaoru yelled at Momoko and punched her in the head.

Miyako had to hold Momoko so that she didn't fall to the floor with the blow that Kaoru gave her. The boys stared at Momoko, who had birds floating around her head.

"What are you looking at?!" Kaoru yelled at Yoshito.

"N-nothing!" he looked away.

"What's wrong with her?" Ryu asked.

"She's in a bad mood!" Miyako lied.

Later, everyone was in the school cafeteria having lunch while talking. The boys had just told the girls about the chat with their parents that morning.

"Did you see, Yoshito? I told you everything would be resolved!" Miyako smiled.

"Well, almost everything. We still have to wait for your mother to recover" Kaoru said.

"Yeah. That too" Ryu said.

"And to that we add that we still don't know how we ended up in the hands of our parents" Yûsuke reminded them.

"Well, at least we already know that it was all HIM's fault" Kaoru told him.

"I would appreciate him for what he did to us. Thanks to that we ended up in a better home, headed towards a better future and made better friends" Yoshito said.

"Aw, Yoshito! That's really sweet!" Miyako exclaimed.

"Obviously he said it for you, Miyako" Ryu rolled his eyes.

"So what?" Miyako glared at him, "you're only jealous because you don't know how to say nice things to Kaoru!"

"And how do you know?" Ryu smirked.

"Guys, stop!" Momoko finally spoke, "my head hurts! Could you stop arguing for just two seconds?!"

Everyone was silent for two seconds. After that they started arguing again. Momoko put her hands to her head in surrender. At the end of school, the six teenagers went to the Professor Utonium's laboratory.

"Hey, Peach!" Miyako exclaimed.

"Professor. We're here" Momoko approached to him.

"Excelent! Come on, kids! I want to show you something!" the professor called them.

They all followed the professor to the other room. There was a large and powerful weapon in the middle of a table. The boys decided to keep a safe distance from the gun. The professor however took it without problems.

"Attention, everyone. Remember this?" he asked.

"Of course. It's the same crap with which you gave us powers, right?" Ryu responded.

"Ryu, watch your mouth!" Miyako scolded him, but he shrugged.

"Exactly! I finally got enough white z-rays to use this thing. I had planned to use it from the start on the girls for an emergency, but you guys would help save them, so I gave them to you. But now" he explained and charged the weapon, "it's time for an upgrade. Who wants to go first?"

Everyone pointed to Ryu, including Kaoru.

"Seriously?!" he protested.

"Don't worry. This will not hurt" the professor told him and then lowered his voice, "hopefully."

"What?!" Ryu asked.

"Ready in three... two... one!" the professor prepared to shoot.

Ryu closed his eyes tightly, while everyone else watched from the distance.
