Hikari and Rika Kasumi where average little girls growing up with a mother and a father, their father left them and their mother and they never heard from him since then. So their mother, Asuka, took care of them, but she grew very ill and weak but, still managed to take care of them. When Hikari was eight and Rika was six, Asuka was so ill and weak that she was hospitalized and the girls ended up living with a family friend, but that didn't stop them from going to see their mother. Everyday at the hospital the girls would go and talk to their mother about their school life and home life and how they missed seeing her at home. Hikari and Rika had asked one of the doctors' that were treating their mother if she would be able to go home soon, but he told them in the nicest way he could, that their mother would have to stay in the hospital longer. Asuka on the other hand, said that she'd be home soon and that her children shouldn't worry. Weeks later Asuka got worse and worse day after day. Two weeks passed and Asuka Kasumi died leaving her beautiful daughters.
Rika's pov
I woke up feeling like crap like I do almost every morning, but something about today made me feel worst. I got out of bed to go to the bathroom and as I did I dragged my Ipod with me, I put the earphones in my ears and turned it on and without me realizing it, it was already playing a song.
Mama
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
'Crap.'Was all I could think of, out of all the songs on this thing it just had to play this one! The reason I really can't stand this song is because it tells how I really feel. My mother died nine years ago and it seems that I can't shake the fact that she's gone.
Mama
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love
Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
Sigh. So true, there is no love like a mother's, I tried my hardest not to cry while listening to this while I got ready for school.
And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
It broke my heart when she told us goodbye and she will always be watching us from above, back then that didn't make sense and it still doesn't.
Mama
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman
Mama
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me
'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say goodbye
'It hurts, it hurts so bad' I thought repeatedly
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you gave me will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'til forever comes
And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you, Mama
Mama, I'll be
I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'till forever comes
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Goodbye
"Goodbye, mama." I whispered, closing my eyes as if I was going to sleep.
"Rika-chan, are you all most done?!" my older sister yelled from the kitchen
"Yeah, hold on." I said as I finished brushing my black silky hair in it's normal state. I looked at my self in the mirror one last time, my black hair was cascaded to my shoulders and my skin was flawless in my opinion, my ruby red coloured eyes had tint of pink in them for some reason, but I never questioned it, my school uniform seem to match my eyes though, it was blue and red. The jacket was navy blue and the skirt was red with a tie that was also red. The shirt though was white, which I found odd but still did not questioned it. I sighed and left the bathroom heading towards the kitchen to see my sister sitting eating cereal. "Ohayo!" I said cheerfully taking a seat next to her.
"Oh, hey glad to see your up!"
"Thanks..." I said not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. She grinned back at me and went back to eating her cereal. Unlike me, my sister has blue eyes and dark blue hair, it's almost looks black sometimes, it was the same lengthas mine but maybe a little longer. She wore a school uniform too, except she's in a private school that goes all the way from elementary to high school and the uniforms change when your in a certain grade, like if your in elementary then the uniform is a navy blue and white dress for girls and a white shirt and navy blue shorts for guys. In middle school then you would be wearing same thing as me. For my sister she wears a brown sweater and white shirt with a green skirt and tie.
"Oh crap! Rika we gotta go!" Hikari screeched as she ran from room to room gathering her things. I looked at the clock, "8:25!?" yelled while I joined my sister to gather my things to leave. We made it to school with two minutes left, Hikari said 'bye' to meet up with some girls who were calling to her, as she left I started to head to class when I bumped into something or more like someone. It was my classmate and long time friend, Tamotsu Raiden.
"Oh, sorry Rika-chan. I didn't mean to-" I cut him off
"It's ok!" I said smiling
Tamotsu's pov
She smiled, her beautiful smile. I couldn't help but blush. "Uh, W-well ok, let's just go to class."
Rika's pov
He blushed, so cute. Wait! He's my friend don't fell that way about him! Besides, we did live together. Yes, we lived together when we were younger, me, Hikari, and Tamotsu-kun. We walked to into class just when it was about to start, it seemed to have droned on and on until finally the bell rang.
I walked home by myself everyday because Hikari had to go to work at some cafe, it seemed pretty nice but I still think it wasn't a good idea to work there, but Hikari said that it was ok job and the pay was enough for us to live on.. So I just gave up on protesting against her. I took out my Ipod that was in my jacket pocket and put ear phones in my ears and hit the 'Shuffle' button and it played a random song. It started to play 'Tik Tok' by Ke$ha. As I hummed the tune something caught my eye, it was shining. I walked over to where the shiny object was and it was a sliver bracelet with a red pendent wrapped around in more sliver, it was beautiful, I thought someone dropped it I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but I saw no one in the park. I looked again and still no one was there so I decide to take bracelet home.
As I sat on my bed in my pajamas(a white t-shirt and red shorts) I looked at the bracelet amazed, it was beautiful I wonder who it belonged to, but I couldn't worry who it belonged to I just had to go sleep let my mind drift off.
