“Who is that?” Darren asked, his hand unconsciously moved up Yuki’s thigh.

“That is Aiki Hayata.” Yuki said, “She’s an English speaking Metuber. According to this website, there was a signing not too far from here. Its also happening tomorrow.”

“So in the morning, we can go check it out.”

“Yup,” Yuki said.

Yuki lifted her skirt up to rest on her stomach. Darren looked down and saw that she wasn’t wearing any panties.

“Do you like?” Yuki asked.

“Yes,” Darren said.

“Would you like to return the favor,” Yuki asked.

Darren turned a few shades of deep red as he nervously got off the couch. Yuki scooted up the sofa to make herself more comfortable. Darren laid down on the couch with his head between her legs. Yuki moaned in pleasure.

After about ten minutes, Yuki pushed him off of her. In her hand was an opened condom. She placed it on him and then sat on his lap.

The couch creaked as they rocked in unison. Pleasure spread over his body as he felt Yuki’s firm breasts against his body. Yuki threw her head back in pleasure. She undid the buttons of her blouse and flapped it open. Darren stared at the firm breasts in her white bra. Darren ran his fingers up the sides of her stomach to her breasts. He cupped his hands around them and felt the silkiness of them.

Then suddenly, the world began to shake and rumble. Nicknacks and other pictures fell off the wall and onto the floor.

“Oh shit.” Darren said, “Earthquake.”

Darren grabbed Yuki and pulled her close to him. He rolled off the couch and onto the hardwood floor next to the sofa. Yuki screamed and grabbed hold of Darren tight.

Chapter 6

Darren saw that Yuki’s eyes were closed as she clung to Darren for dear life. Lights flickered as the ground continued to shake. Loud bangs and large creaks erupted from different parts of the building.

After twenty minutes, the ground stopped shaking. Debris settled down into a dull silence. Sirens echoed from outside of the apartment building.

“Oh shit,” Yuki said.

“Are you okay,” Darren said.

He didn’t let go of her.

“Yes,” Yuki said.

Yuki opened her eyes.

“We need to leave.” She said fear rocked her eyes.

Darren could tell that she was panicking inside.

“Tsunami.” Yuki said, “Tsunami.”

“I know.” Darren said, “If a tsunami were to hit Tokyo, is this apartment building high enough?”

“Maybe.” Yuki said, “We need to get to the storage unit. What time is it?”

Darren looked at a clock.

“It’s two in the morning,” Darren said.

Yuki looked down at Darren’s crotch.

Darren looked at the condom that hung off of him.

“I better get rid of that,” Darren said.

More sirens blared out in the distance from the outside.

Darren cleaned himself up and returned to find Yuki going through a couple of plastic bins. Her blouse was still unbuttoned.

“What are those?” Darren asked referring to the bins.

“Most families have stored emergency rations.” Yuki said, “The government wants us to shelter in place in the event of a disaster.”

“But we’re not.” Darren said, “Are we?”

“No.” Yuki said, “We did that six years ago, and my mom died. I’m leaving. Are you coming?”

“Of course.”

“Good.” Yuki said, “Fill your bag with as much as this stuff as you can.”

Yuki handed him his backpack.

They filled them with food and water. Darren grabbed a couple of changes of clothes and stuffed them in the bag as well. After five more minutes, they were done packing the bags.

Suddenly, Darren’s dad’s phone rang. Darren jumped.

He walked over to the phone and picked it up.

“This is the front desk.” Goro said over the phone, “Is everything all right?”

“Yes.” Darren said, “No injuries to report.”

“Good,” Goro said, “Shelter in place. Help will arrive soon.”

Darren hung up the phone.

“Who was that?”

“Front desk.”

“What does he want?”

“He wants us to shelter in place.”

“Not going to happen,” Yuki said.

Darren looked at Yuki. He saw the raw panic in her eyes. He crouched next to Yuki and wrapped his arms around her.

At first, she tensed up, and her emotions ran high.

“It’s going to be all right,” Darren said.

Yuki wrapped her arms around Darren and started to cry. Tears rolled down her face as she held onto Darren.

“Its going to be all right.” Darren kept saying.

After Yuki had cried for a few minutes, she still cuddled in his arms. Yuki looked up at him. Darren looked at her and kissed her firmly on the lips.

“Thank you for being understanding.” Yuki said, “Not many people put up with my paranoia.”

“I understand. I’ll always be here for you.” Darren said.

“Thank you anyways,” Yuki said.

She paused and blushed.

“Am I your first?” Yuki asked.

Darren blushed as well.

“Yes.” Darren said, “Did it show?”

“I’m not sure.” Yuki said, “You are mine.”

“But…” Darren said, “How did you know what to do? That was very sexy.”

“I watched a lot of porn,” Yuki said.

Darren blushed higher.

“That’s surprising,” Darren said.

Yuki shrugged.

Yuki’s phone rang. The noise split the night like thunder on a bright day.

“Shit.” Darren said, “That scared me.”

Yuki grabbed her phone.

“It’s Sakiko.” Yuki said, “I was hoping for my dad.”

Yuki answered the phone.

“Hi, Sakiko.” Yuki said, “Did you feel that earthquake?”

Darren heard crying coming from the phone.

“Calm down…” Yuki said, “I can’t understand you when you talk like that… What? Now I understood you. I am close to you. We’ll be there soon.”

Yuki hung up her phone.

“Sakiko’s house has collapsed.” Yuki said, “She’s stuck inside it.”

Darren threw on his bomber jacket, his fedora, and his shoes.

“Are the bags packed?” Darren asked.

“Yes,” Yuki said.

Yuki buttoned up her shirt and put on her panties.

“Let’s go pull your friend out of the rubble,” Darren said.

Yuki threw a couple more items into the bags and threw one at Darren. As she put a jacket on and her shoes, Darren noticed a Katana on the wall.

“Its tempting to take that.” Darren said, “What happens if we run into any thugs?”

“You can, but if a cop sees you with it, you’ll get arrested,” Yuki said.

Locking the door behind him, Darren left the apartment. Yuki grabbed his hand as they walked down the hallway.

Darren went towards the elevator, but Yuki pulled him away.

“Not the elevator.” Yuki said, “The stairs.”

“Right.” Darren said, “I remember that from all of the fire drills as a kid.

They ran down the stairs towards the lobby. The stairwell was very utilitarian. Concrete floors and painted white concrete walls. The glamour of the rest of the building didn’t reach the stairs.

Darren opened a massive steel door when he got to the bottom of the stairs.

Goro, the Security Guard, sat at his desk on the phone. A stressed look was plastered across his face. Suddenly, the lights went out enveloping the lobby in sticky darkness.

For a few seconds, Darren looked at the darkened ceiling. He worried about his brother and his father for a few seconds. Then the emergency lights came back on.
