Hello everyone! This is a story I thought about while watching Mischievous Kiss 1 and 2. I absolutely fell in love with both Kotoko and Naoki characters, especially the actual actor/actress Miki and Yuki. I do not own the show nor any of the characters nor the actors/actresses who played them. I know there are lots of different versions of this manga, but my story will have the Mischievous Kiss 1 and 2 characters in it.
I hope you all enjoy it, it's sure to bring on more drama than the show gave out!
My character's name is Reveya Collins, a young high school senior. She is involved in sports such as dance and soccer, but prefers dance overall. She is a very pretty girl, with a very fit, toned body; her eyes the color of a clear blue sky and her skin is kissed by the sun, her hair a dark brown color with a blond streak in the front. She stands at about 5'4, weighing 110lbs. She has some medical issues which you'll find out in this chapter.
Sunny southern California, the air is crisp as the ocean waves pound against the sandbars and highway walls. The beaches filled with life as surfers and tourists flooded the area for the upcoming summer months. All the kids were out riding their scooters and getting ice cream cones, but not all teenagers were ready to start summer vacation, Reveya was the only one who was actually getting ready to go to school.
Her parents had signed up for a foreign exchange program, getting connected with a family from Tokyo, Japan who had two sons. One son was in High school, her age and the other was a bit younger, in middle school. The program didn't require for the exchange students to be same age, but at least had to be in middle school. When Reveya's parents informed her of the exchange, she was less than thrilled; especially since she would be starting school when everyone would be starting their summer vacations. She didn't speak to her parents for the next month following her plane departure, packing her bags every day until she had no more bags to pack anything into.
The night before her departure, she was resting on her bed, taking in a good picture of her memories with friends and her summer fun in the sun photos from the year before. She was supposed to go to Cabo this year with her friend as part of a family vacation, but then her parents dropped this bomb on her and ruined her whole year. Being the straight A student that she was and always picked up on other languages easily, she started to study the Japanese language and even bought an MP3 player specifically for learning the Japanese language.
"I hate this..I hate this!" she thought to herself as she sat up and sighed heavily, looking at the soccer ball in the corner of her room. Just then, her mother came into her room; carrying a tray of snacks with her medication on the side. "Here you go baby, thought you could use a snack since you didn't eat any dinner with us again" her mother commented, putting the tray on her night stand. Reveya didn't reply, just took her medication and drank the rest of the water in the cup. Her mom looked at the bags in the corner of her room, seeing she had about three or four suit cases stuffed with her clothes, school stuff and anything else she felt necessary to bring. "Think you packed enough stuff? offered to take you shopping while you're there" she said, not getting a response out of her daughter.
Sighing heavily, her mom sat down on the bed next to her, trying to be supportive of her daughter's emotions. "Revi, I know this isn't the way you pictured your senior year, but you would be wise to think of this as a great learning opportunity, a chance to see the world and meet lots of interesting people" her mom started to say, looking at her daughter's stone cold face. "Please don't leave the house mad at us, we love you more than anything in this world. Watch, you may even enjoy yourself and make new friends, you might not even want to leave" she said as she moved a piece of hair out of her daughter's face.
Standing up, Reveya went into her bathroom and grabbed her medical bag, putting it with her luggage "Not likely mom, you didn't even ask me if I wanted to do this. So why should I value what you have to say when you clearly didn't even care to ask me?" she said coldly, wiping away a tear a she opened one of her suit cases, taking out some clothes and her bathroom stuff. "I'm going to take a shower, if you'll excuse me" she said before walking into the bathroom and shutting the door. Her mother sat on the bed for a bit, obviously upset but not at her daughter's words, more at herself. It was her step-father who wanted to do this, and she had no choice but to go along with it since he was a very persuasive man. He always got what he wanted, one way or another. Standing up, she left her daughter's room, shutting the door quietly as she felt tears form in her eyes.
Reveya marinated in the shower for a while, thinking about what it's going to be like to be in Japan, what kind of family she was going to be staying with and if they had any more kids. "I guess I'll have to see what's to come, since I literally have no choice in this whole matter" she said to herself as she started to wash her hair. She tried to enjoy her last night at home for the next year, alone in her room; just how she wanted it to be.
The next morning, her alarm went off at 5:30am, which was the normal time for her to wake up. Her plane wasn't leaving for another few hours, so she went for a quick run and took another shower before she started to get her bags in order downstairs. She did take in her mother's advice and decided to leave some stuff before, leaving room for if she bought some stuff while she was there. Reveya was just angry at the world, didn't care to talk to anyone but her mother was right. As she made herself some eggs, Reveya heard her step father come into the kitchen, reading his paper. "Good morning Revi, sleep good?" he asked, only to get no reply as he watched her season her eggs.
Growing tired of his step daughter's behavior, he slammed his paper on the counter, getting her attention "Listen here young lady, you will not ignore me what I speak to you. I said good morning, now you say it back" he said sternly, trying to establish his dominance. Reveya looked up at him, narrowing her eyes "Good morning…sir" she said sarcastically, only making his blood boil even more. He was about to rip into her for being a smart mouth, but then her mother walked in "Good morning you two! Revi makes sure you eat all your breakfast, you'll need your energy" she said as she looked over at her husband, who scuffed and made himself some coffee. Reveya rolled her eyes, finishing up with her eggs and sitting down at the table to eat. Normally, she wouldn't show her step-father disrespect, but she was leaving today and wouldn't see him for a year so she didn't care. She never liked him anyways.
Time came for her to board her plane, walking into the gate as her mother trailed in behind her. "Well, I'm off, just like you wanted" Reveya said as she turned to face her mother. Shaking her head, her mom pulled her into a tight hug "I could never wish you away, you're irreplaceable baby." Her mother said as her arms tightened around her daughter, making Reveya hug her back "Trust me, this is for the best, for now ok? I love you so much, never forget that", she said as she looked into her daughter's eyes, showing Revi how sad she was that she was leaving, stroking her daughter's hair. "Please let me know when you've landed ok?" she said before Reveya nodded, giving her mom a soft smile. "Bye mom" she said plainly before turning to enter the plane, giving the flight attendant her ticket before boarding the plane. The emotions really didn't hit Reveya until the plane started to leave, seeing her mom standing in the window. Tears started to flow down her face, closing the window flap and putting in her earphones, turning on her music as she covered her face; not wanting to be bothered by anyone.
The flight seemed to take forever, about fourteen hours overall. The plane landed in Tokyo, it was about 8 o'clock at night so the whole city was filled with lights. Exhausted and starving, Reveya departed the plane; expecting to see a whole family to greet her but instead, she saw a guy holding up a sign with her name on it. Confused, she slowly walked up to the man, nodding to him to indicate she was the one he was looking for.
"Oh hello, welcome to Tokyo! The Irie family wanted me to pick you up" the man spoke in perfect English, ever so kindly with a pleasing smile on his face. Reveya didn't know what to think, but she complied and walked with the man to the baggage area, getting in the backseat of a car before the man got in the front, someone else was driving.
The car ride was quiet for a few minutes, before the man started to talk again "How was your flight?" he asked, looking in the rearview mirror to her. Reveya did her best not to seem rude, but she was exhausted and was starting to get a headache, so she was in no mood to be talking. "It was ok, how far away does the Irie family live?" she asked, rubbing her eyes as she tried to stay awake. "Oh not too far, they are all excited for your arrival" he said happily. Reveya wished she could be as excited as the family, but the only thing she could feel was the pain in her head and the nerves building inside of her. Looking at her carry on, she took out her medical bag and pulled out an inhaler, taking in a small breath to calm herself down.
The car ride lasted about ten more minutes before they pulled up a decent sized house, the man getting out to help her out of the car and helping her with her luggage. He rang the doorbell, waiting for the family to answer the door.
When that door opened, Reveya saw a woman standing there with a huge smile on her face. "OOOHHH THERE SHE IS!" the woman said too loudly for Reveya's liking, making her touch her head in pain. "Come in come in! Thank you Mr. Kanamori!" she said before bowing to him, receiving a bow back from him before he left.
"Its so nice to have you here my dear, I'm Mrs. Irie but when you're ready, you may call me 'mom'. Your mom said you go by Revi right?" she asked, she also speaking in perfect English. Reveya smiled as sweetly as she could, despite how horrible she must look "Reveya please, its nice to meet you too ma'am" she said as she bowed to her, impressing Mrs. Irie. "OH wow! Looks like you've gotten to know our custom way of introducing ourselves, please come in and meet the rest of the family!" she said as she took her hand and led her into the living room, where Reveya saw an older man "This is my husband Mr. Irie" and then she saw a young man who looked to be about her age "This is my son, Naoki. This is Reveya everyone" she introduced, putting her hands lightly on Reveya's shoulders. Reveya looked at both Naoki and Mr. Irie, bowing to both of them "It's nice to meet you" she said softly, her eyes falling on Naoki once more for a moment before she looked away.
Naoki could clearly see how exhausted she was, her blood shot eyes and pained look every time his mother spoke. His mom was always loud, so right away they had an opinion in common. Despite her current state, she wasn't what he was expecting. He was expecting this little girl about his little brother's age, but here stood a girl to be his age and in High school. To him, she looked athletic; wearing a pair of black leggings and a long sleeve white shirt that hung loosely over her body.
"I'm Naoki Irie, its very nice to meet you" he said, also speaking perfect English as he bowed to her. Reveya was even more confused, everyone was speaking perfect English with her and she studied the language very heavily for a month before she got there. "Please Reveya, sit down and have a drink with us!" Mrs. Irie tried to usher her over to the couch, but Reveya declined "I'm sorry, would you mind if I just go to bed? I've had a long flight and its really hitting, plus I'm not feeling very well" she said with an apologetic smile, feeling bad for declining but she was having trouble keeping her eyes open just standing there.
"Oh certainly dear, I'm sorry; you must be exhausted! Luckily, it's the weekend so you can rest up and we can all have a nice dinner tomorrow" Mrs. Irie said as she gave her a small hug, looking over at her son "Naoki, show her to her room and help her with her things; the poor dear has had a trying day" she asked, which Naoki nodded in compliance to her request. Reveya only hoped and prayed she wasn't sharing a room with anyone, she was typically a very private person. Her nerves only spiked even more just discovering that she was living with a guy who she was supposed to call her host brother, but she never suited well with guys.
Naoki grabbed two of her bags and started to go up the stairs, as she trailed behind him with her other bag. Opening the door to her room, she saw a sign on her door that said "Revi"; which didn't please her too much but right now, she didn't care. She walked into the room, seeing that it was completely decorated in pink, that only added to her headache since she hated pink. "Where would you like everything to go?" he asked, putting her bags on the floor by the bed. Reveya didn't want to be rude, but she wasn't too fond of having a boy in her room.
"Umm, I can handle putting stuff away. Thank you for your help though" she said as she got out her medical bag and put it on the night stand next to her bed. She could feel herself getting short on breath again, her heart was pounding from her nerves. Taking in a deep breath, she realized she hadn't taken her medication yet; quickly opening her medical bag and pulling out her pills, and her inhaler.
Naoki noticed how frantic she seemed, watching her take her medication "Are you ok?" he asked, obviously concerned, but trying not to be nosey. After she took her medication and puffed her inhaler, she looked in his direction and waved him off "I'm fine, thanks for your help." She answered, turning her back to him to give the hint that she wanted to be left alone. Naoki was a smart guy, so he quickly got the hint and left the room.
With his presence out of the room, Reveya felt like she could finally relax. She slowly started to put away all of her stuff, tears flowing down her face as she did so. That feeling of being home sick was starting to get to her, and she hasn't even been in Japan for more than an hour. After she put her clothes in the closet and in the drawers, she sat down on the bed and took in her surroundings, growing sick of the color pink already.
"I miss my room…" she said to herself as she laid back, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
