Party Central
That morning, the maids Makino woke at 8, as she had requested. It took a little break away from the pillow, but when he heard the tap water that filled the tub, stretched and while the maids arranged the room and ordered the clothes in the closet, she relaxed in the bubbles. Converted into a new woman, radiant, fresh out of the bathroom ready for change. Chose beige wool trousers with straight cut and a leather-lined boots. Then donned a black shirt and a vest top over cinnamon color, with large buttons that reached his knee. A look hot by the way, because even inside the house did not feel the slightest cold, probably would go out and have to keep warm. Dropped at 9:30 to have breakfast with Tsukasa and Rui, who should have come to Canada last night. But in the dining room was Tsukasa.
- Rui What has not been lifted yet? - Asked after greeting Makino Tsukasa.
- Rui failed. Confirm with the airline and he did not take any flight. I called your home and mobile, but does not respond .- he said, while approaching his cup to one of the servants who filled it with fresh coffee.
- You mean you do not sail? But how is it possible! - Makino said. He was upset. Rui had no excuse for not coming to Canada.
- I left a message on the answering machine but have not yet unanswered. Apparently we have planted the two .- he said. Also felt uncomfortable .- Well, how did you sleep? Did you missed something? - Said, wanting to change the subject.
- Absolutely. In fact, as had several hours of sleep yet, I slept like a log. If you excuse me a moment she said ...- up from the table. He climbed to his room and called his cell phone from Mr. Tanaka. He felt that perhaps had something to do with the absence Rui.
- Hello? Makino speaking ...- she said whispering.
- Makino! How is Canada? I guess cool ...- Mr Tanaka said amiably.
- Right. Cold. For those coincidences of life, do you have to do with Hanazawa Rui has not come to Canada? - She asked. He went straight to the point, as expected Tsukasa the cooling down to breakfast.
- Hanazawa Rui "did not go to Canada? ... Now that you mention it I knew I had a problem with immigration. I think that police officers mistook him for a dangerous drug dealer. So who is in prison. For this weekend only. The first thing Monday morning they will realize they have committed a grave mistake and let you free. We apologize and will make bows. But the poor do not reach to travel to Canada. A real shame. But the truth is that international police is very strict on such matters .- said mockingly.
- Understood Makino said and hung up. Scored again, this time the cell Tsubaki.
- "Hello, Tsubaki? - Makino said.
- Hello, Tsukushi? - Glad to hear she said.
- Hello. Shigeru called to inquire.
- She is fine, recovering .- she said.
- Give my love and I hope you get well soon.
- Okay, I will.
- Tsubaki. Have not you heard of Rui? Has not yet arrived in Canada .- Makino said, hoping she learned something from it.
- strange. He said he would embark last night. Find out if something happened and I warn you, okay? - Tsubaki said in a worried voice.
- Thank you, love to Shigeru said and hung up. She ran down the stairs and then apologize to Tsukasa, ate his breakfast.
spent the rest of the morning at the mansion, talking and mulling about Rui. Around noon, Tsubaki contacted the house and reported that Rui had problems in the international police and could not leave Japan. He gave no details. So after lunch was sheltered and came to tour the property . Tsukasa had prepared a couple of snowmobiles, with which roads traveled to reach a forest. Makino had excellent photographic memory, so it was almost impossible to get lost inside a building, regardless of how big this was. However, in open space, his skills were overshadowed by a sense of direction worse than a child of 5 years. So, I was very careful not to lose sight of Tsukasa.
He, meanwhile, was very happy. Despite the absence of Rui, the place was filled with memories of his childhood and adolescence in the company of friends. In addition, the day was spectacular. Not a single cloud in the sky and the sun shone, warming the atmosphere. In fact it seemed as if spring was coming, although there was still at least another month of winter.
got off the bikes and started walking toward a side that was in a clearing, he told Tsukasa. Walking next to each other, avoiding the frozen branches of trees, and treading firm as they went, not to slip. Each time penetrating deeper into the forest, rather than seeking to find the slope, they found the river completely frozen. A couple of steps there was a suspension bridge, made to cross the bridge during the summer.
- seems that we spend in the shed. Do you want us to give back or to continue a little longer? - Tsukasa asked.
- us continue for a while. It's really nice. But we cross the bridge. I'm a little nervous to cross the frozen river .- Makino said.
- is frozen. The worst that can happen is that slip and fall back. I was thinking that tomorrow we could skate on the lake.
- right, but tomorrow. Now cross the bridge, "she said, and walked toward the bridge.
This was made of wood and string, but despite the weakness of the material seemed very firm. Crossed slowly first and then Tsukasa Makino. After penetrating followed. The forest seemed to grow thicker and began to get colder in the shade of huge trees. Despite lined boots, Makino feet were numb. Tsukasa walked with long strides and quick, probably to avoid being cool. So little by little, she was ahead of Makino and when she tripped over a root, not realized she had fallen and continued walking. Makino's foot got caught on a root protruding from the snow and fell on his knees, giving a little cry. As his legs were frozen, he stayed there for a while, his head on his knees, waiting for the lift Tsukasa. But he did not approach. He raised his head and did not see it anywhere. It took joining a little, and walked forward, trying to reach. How could he not have noticed that she had fallen? He continued walking towards what seemed was on, ignoring the pain in his legs.
Tsukasa on the other hand, after running a time missed during the noise of footsteps Makino and turned. She was not. What do you mean was? And where the hell have you been? Perhaps he had inadvertently left behind, but then why not ask him to walk slower?. He stepped back where it had come, but could not find. The knocked loudly, but she did not answer. Continued to fall until it reached the banks of the river they had crossed before. But she was not there. Had he returned to the bikes? But why did not notify? Tsukasa understood nothing. He was tempted to return to the bikes and go home, leaving her to return as I could. I really hated women who did this sort of nonsense, for example, lost in a forest, less than two hours of the evening. He knew that when night fell, the conditions would change radically. Neither was carrying torches and soon the temperature would drop sharply . He recalled an episode that his father had told him when I was little. His father, Keichiro, and his brother, Uncle Kouji, when they were young, long before either was married, were always on vacation home in Canada that his parents had bought after the war. During winter, the night had caught the two in the woods, hunting. Together, they tried to return but had lost their way. Then reached the river bank. They passed slowly from hand to not slip on ice, but the weight caused the ice cracked and they fell to the cold stream that ran under the ice layer on the surface. Keichiro, failed to find an opening, near the shore and left the stream. Kouji however remained dragged several meters below the ice. Keichiro followed his brother to the surface, running as he undressed, knowing he would die if left wet clothes on. About 50 yards away, Kouji managed to escape to the surface. Dragged Keichiro to shore and quickly took out the clothes he was wearing, including shoes and socks. Kouji, was half unconscious and shivering so hard that it was unable to walk. He took that and ran back as fast as they left their members for help. Both were saved, but Keichiro had made a mistake. When he removed the socks off the feet of Kouji, they were already frozen. To get them out two fingers of his right foot. Keichiro did not realize the fact and ran with his brother in the back. Years later they built the cabins for help and the suspension bridge. Despite the fact both were replaced, Kouji suffered a major trauma and went to live in a tropical country, where he lives today. A country where there is never cold. Tsukasa felt a sudden panic. Makino was to find as soon as possible. I could not let anything bad happen to him. He started shouting his name and started down the bank, following the direction of river.
Makino was in an open state of despair. I felt I was walking around in the forest. Which, incidentally, was doing. As he fell, had lost direction and instead of going the way he had Tsukasa, followed by the left, then when he did not find him, turned right and then left again. She was not familiar with the geography and all the trees seemed equal. He started shouting "Domyouji!" With everything that allowed her throat, but all I heard was the echo response. The more the dark, the more they fear. Was very cold, we were very sore knees and was terrified animals. Had heard from Tsukasa, who lived in the woods all kinds of animals, from reindeer, squirrels and rabbits to bears. He recalled that he loved movie with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin " The Edge of danger." He reminded the damn bear that chased throughout the film to Hopkins and he ate all the other characters. Desperate at the thought of encountering a bear, began to run in a straight line, always forward, until at last he reached the River. But it was at the same height where he had been before, and there was no bridge and later was a large rock. Do not recall seeing any rocks, looking down the river for a couple of hours ago, so he concluded that the river had to turn and then take the course in which she was. Due to the large rock on the shore could not see the curve, so I decided to go upstream rock climbing and perhaps from above could see the bend of the river called and from there find the bridge where it would be easier to return.
It was dark at all. However, thank God, there was a full moon lit enough to see where I was, at least, by the riverside. The road was bumpy and when it appeared trod the earth and fell on the ice. Could have gone a little faster if he had walked on the ice, but if he fell and twisted his ankle would not keep looking at Makino and should find it now. When carried by at least 45 minutes walk, he found the river bend. Since I knew the characteristics of the forest and the river since childhood, I knew that was beyond the Rock. La Roca was a point of recognition to find one of the cabins. Crossing the river, about 200 meters penetrating through the forest had a cabin for help, fully equipped with satellite phone and a fireplace ready to be ignited. When found to Makino the lead up there. Since the cabin was a path that led to the main road and from there find the bikes easily. In the corner, cried aloud the name of Makino. When no response followed walked, I saw from afar the rock, whose surface gleamed in the moonlight. Continued to decline, while shouting the name of Makino.
Makino was walking along the shore, but slipped all the time, the ground was loose and wet, where the snow had melted. Constantly being buried in the mud. She was afraid to walk by the river, afraid to slip and fall again. So I walked slowly and painfully. Suddenly he heard what appeared to be a cry of his name. Quickly shouted the name of Domyoji. Immediately hear the cry again, this time louder and clearer. Felt Domyoji's voice came from below, so quickened his pace. Then he heard the screams wondered where she was. Behind the rock!, "She shouted in response. Then he saw Domyoji emerge from behind the rock, walking by the river, one hand clutching a branch with the rock. He was so happy to see it! Knew that his hand was saved. She ran to him and pulled him over, hugging him.
- !...- Tsukasa said as he kissed her face, clinging to him.
- Makino. Are you okay? - Asked worriedly, holding her face.
- Yes. I have cold and my knees hurt a little, but I'm fine .- said it.
- Thank God, "he said hugging her .- But what happened, how you got lost?
- I was behind you and suddenly stumbled. When I looked up you were gone. Thank God you came back for me, I thought I would die attacked by a bear .- she said shakily. Being in his arms, made her think everything that could have happened and was overtaken by strange feelings. Began to mourn and embraced increasingly strong Tsukasa. The embrace was tightened further and both mouths were sought. It took a long kiss.
- not know what you have done if something had happened, "said Tsukasa Let's stroking his head .- soon. Crossing the river few minutes in, in the forest is a relief hut, there we can make a fire and warm up a bit. From the cottage there is a path that leads to the road and then to the bikes.
- But what about the bridge? - Makino said.
- is at least 40 minutes upstream. We will have to cross the ice. Neglected, cross yourself first, and then I will.
- No. I'm afraid. We cross together .- she said.
- is dangerous, the ice can shatter .- he said.
- Then I prefer to return to the bridge, "she said stubbornly.
- Listen Makino. Probably there is now little more than 0 ° in an hour be -10 degrees. If we do not soon to the cabin we freeze .- said in a voice so serious that Makino was very scared.
- right. But I will not cross alone. If I fall, will you pick me up right?. Then we will both be stepping on the same ice. So if this possibility, we cross prefer holding hands. This prevents slipping and is safer to cross .- she said, trying to convince.
- right, "he said after thinking for a Moment" You step on a firm and try to maintain balance.
first under and supported both feet on the ice, then she fell and he took her by the elbow, affirming it. Started walking slowly, walking first and then Makino Tsukasa continued. Suddenly, Makino lost his balance and slipped, falling heavily. The ice beneath her shattered under his weight. Tsukasa held her tightly, trying to lift it, but in an open eye and close the ice beneath it was detached and sunk, being washed away, and Makino sinking underwater. But Tsukasa did not let go.
- not let go, Makino! - Tsukasa yelled "No matter what happens, do not loosen up on me - he said trying to remove the water, but the ice cracked under him and fell into the water, both being washed away under the ice surface.
When I first fell into the water, the first feeling I had was burning your skin on contact with cold water. Then when both were swept away, instinctively held their breath. Tsukasa Makino clung to the body and hugged her. Makino was desperate to try to raise stroke, but his hands crashing into the ice. When Tsukasa was beginning to feel the lack of oxygen, suddenly struck his back against a rock near the riverbank. The coup was to release the oxygen that was in his lungs, and free to leave Makino. Makino felt the impact and looked at Tsukasa. He saw the bubbles out of his mouth and made by hand. Then, almost by intuition saw that beside the rock more filtered light. Perhaps there was an opening! Clinging to the rock moved into the light and fumbled with his hands. His blows broke the thin ice and pulled the head to breathe. With further opened legs and dragged him opening up to Tsukasa. He had fainted. With a superhuman effort Makino crawled to the shore that was half a meter beyond the opening, dragging her Tsukasa. Using all his strength was able to upload it to the shore and began yelling: "Tsukasa, wake up" and hit his face. Makino's legs did not feel cold. Then he realized that perhaps he had swallowed water. He remembered the first aid classes at school and covering his nose, his mouth taking air expelled him in his mouth. He repeated the procedure twice more, until he coughed and opened her eyes water.
- Tsukasa! - She cried, trying to sit.
- Makino! Are you okay? - Asked him, trying to focus his eyes.
- Yes, we leave the river .- she said. His head turned trying to spot the Rock, where they had fallen. About 200 yards away was a big shadow what he recognized as the place you're looking .- There is the place where we fell .- he said pointing.
- Makino Quick, take off all your clothes! - Tsukasa said suddenly joining .- Everything including boots and socks .- undressing said he.
- But I will get hypothermia! - She said.
- You'll get hypothermia if you stay a single second wet clothes! - Seeing the naked torso of Tsukasa, she began to unbutton his parka and vest. Strangely he did not feel cold and the icy wind seemed a warm breeze.
- Now we run to the shelter! Do not stop for any reason! - He told her, taking her hand and starting to run into the forest.
ran barefoot, stepping on pine cones, twigs, nuts and leaves. Their naked bodies off a white vapor, like their mouths when they exhaled. The low tree branches hit his face and arms of Tsukasa, who ran forward, almost dragging Makino, but he did not notice, all I knew was that I had come to the shelter. Makino felt his legs did not respond. The felt like were of wool, and each step I took, her knees bent, as if they were unable to bear the weight of his own body. Then, he tripped over a branch and rolled. This time, Tsukasa if felt like falling to drop his hand and stopped dead.
- Come on, get up! - Said taking it below the shoulders to try to incorporate it.
- ...- I can not, "she said weakly .- I can not more ... I have too much sleep, "said a voice that was barely a whisper.
Tsukasa lifted, but it was true, she could not stand. Threw it back and began to jog, but her weight made it more slowly. Trotted and contact her on his back made him warm up a bit. A few yards away could see a big shadow. They finally found the hut! He entered the hut and laid on the couch. Taking a few blankets they had in the closet, covered with her and the other threw it on the back. Then he went to light the fire. As it was a relief shelter, firewood was already in the chimney and the side was a container of gasoline and some matches. In less than 2 minutes the fire was ready and burning. Then Tsukasa Makino went to see who was fast asleep. Picked her up and deposited in the fur, and then dragged to the side of the fire.
- Makino, awakens .- said rocking from the shoulders. Checked they were breathing. He did, but weakly .- Let Makino, no time to sleep. You dry off first but she said .- still asleep.
closet stood up and took the towels were. With wrapped her hair, which had long as you wet the entire back. Opener then began to dry blanket. The arms, chest, stomach, and legs. I dried one by one the toes and that were well reviewed. Luckily they were. Then put on a sweater and pants he could find. All made of thermal material. Then he rubbed himself and dressed. The fire was burning and soon the cabin was heated. This was a single room, plus bathroom and there was no bed but a single chair and table, plus kitchen cabinets. Made coffee. Makino seemed to recover the color in her face to warm the room. When the coffee was ready, poured two cups and approached her. Forced her to wake, calling loudly and shaking until she opened her eyes.
- finally woke up. Take, drink some coffee, tea, heated inside said .- offering bowl.
She greeted him with a trembling hand and took a sip. Continued drinking, without a word, until it was finished the bowl. Murmured a thank you. Then returned to rest his head on the carpet and fell asleep again. He smiled. He approached the satellite phone and dialed into the house. When Butler heard the voice of his master, very surprised, and told him he had some servants searching for them since they were past 10 at night. Tsukasa said he was in the cabin for help number 3, which were safe and please send a vehicle to look and a doctor. That said, he went and lay down next to Makino. He hugged her and pulled the blanket. In an instant he fell asleep.
End of Chapter 15
N. of the A.: Finally! I got this chapter extra long. I hope you have enjoyed. With respect to inspiration, the story of Tsukasa's father and his brother is based on a true story that happened to a neighbor who had for some time, Terry was coming from Canada. The man enjoyed seeing my face in terror when I had her near-death experiences. once told me about a plane crash which took in Africa and other a fight with some sailors. The story of the fall in the river was when I was young and his brother actually lost two toes, worse not moved to a warm country, but became an alcoholic and eventually fell off a roof, being paralyzed. Poor man.
With regard to the fic I mentioned " Abstinence Education," a chapter in which the protagonists fall by a rushing river, but this is not frozen, but the flow is very large and the drag, and almost drown. The link to the story (in English) is ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=1)
madame_manga
On livejournal, I recommend the site which is very good. In my journal, I posted all the chapters of my fic, plus some personal information and my interests and tastes. The environment is much more familiar and comment system simpler. again that I can only thank all those who are given the time to read my stories and leave me your comments. It's strange because you should write for the fun of it, but certainly I do to see you and say I think of my story. Without their reviews, probably would have left dumped in history. Thank you very much for your continued support.
