•Chapter 1-The Beginning•
Mirai ran her hands through her hair, worried to death. Kazuma wrapped his arms around his wife, holding back tears. Neither of them spoke. They didn't notice a little girl with red and orange hair come in.
"Mummy? Daddy? Is something wrong?" Little Akari tugged gently on her mother's top. The strawberry blonde woman looked down at the 7-year-old with watery red eyes.
"Everything's ok, Akari." The red-and-black haired man leant down and picked up the small girl. He took her to her room, and tucked her into bed, before heading back to Mirai.
"Kazuma, I'm scared." Mirai wrung her hands, looking at her slightly bulged stomach. The 4-month-pregnant woman started crying.
"It's ok, Mirai." Kazuma looked into his wife's eyes.
"No it's not, Kazuma! I'm pregnant, I have cancer, and the baby, me or both of us could die! I'm dying, Kazuma! It's too late for treatment, and for abortion! IT'S NOT OK!" Mirai threw her arm around her husband, and the two of them sobbed into each other.
