CHAPTER 1: Chibi friends
"Mi-chi, you better be hurry! You don't want to be late, right?" a man in the age of 52 said to his beloved grandchild. He has hazel brown eyes and chocolate brown locks.
"Neh Ojii-chan, I can't find my shoes!'' a 7 year old girl said to her grandfather. She has the same features as her grandfather has. Her hair reach in her waist and she put a clip in her right side and wore a baby pink gown with a ribbon in the back.
"Did you look for it in your room?"
"Uhm, I did not." She said as she pouted her cute little cheeks.
"You better check right away Mikan. Your parents must be waiting for you now." He said as he slowly pushes her to her room.
Mikan immediately run to her room and found her shoes just behind her cabinet. After she found it, Mikan and her grandfather went to the auditorium.
OoOoOoOoOo
"Sume-chan, are you ready for your recital?" a woman with crimson eyes and blue hair asked her child.
"Even if I said no, there is nothing I can do." A 6-year-old boy answered sarcastically. He has crimson eyes and messy raven hair.
"Neh Sume-chan, you don't want your father to be disappointed to you so you better be ready." She said as she fixed her child's hair.
"Okaa-san, will you quit calling me that name. It shivers me." He faced his mother.
"Are you practicing to be a grown-up man?" she gave him a sweet smile.
"Hn." He walked away and proceeded outside. "Are we not suppose to go to the auditorium right now?
"Oh. Let's go." They went to their car immediately and proceeded to the auditorium.
OoOoOoOoOo
"Yuka, are they already here?" Izumi Yukihara approached his wife as he keeps on walking so tensely.
"Don't worry about them, Darling. I am sure they are on their way." She said as she calms down her husband.
"What if something happens when they are on their way? What if—"
"Don't be ridiculous, Izumi." She raised her voice and held the shoulders of her husband. Izumi released a deep sigh.
"Tense and nervous, are we, Izumi?" Izumi and Yuka turn their backs to see the owner of the voice.
"Ioran?" Izumi asked.
"Yes Izumi. It is I." a man with black locks goes near to them.
"It's been a long time since the last time I saw you. How are you?" he embrace him. Izumi and Ioran were classmates and best friends when they were in high school.
"Well, I am doing fine. I have lots of work to do especially in business and in the same time in family matters." He pulled himself from the hug and fixed his tie.
"Great. That's good to hear." He replied. He turned to see Yuka and gave her a concern look about their daughter.
"Izumi, you seem tense and nervous a while ago. Why?" He asked.
"Well, ohm I was worried about my daughter. She should be here by now." He kept on glancing his watch and the entrance door.
"Same as my son but don't worry, they are on their way already." He tapped his shoulder. Then suddenly they heard the door open.
"Otou-san!"
"Kaoru!"
"Otou-san, we have been waiting for you." Yuka walked to his father and greeted him.
"Kaoru, what took you so long?" Izumi headed to his wife and kissed her on her cheeks.
"Tou-san, where is Mi-chi?" Izumi asked.
"Where is our son?" Ioran asked.
Flashback: Mi-chi's POV
We were heading to the auditorium and Jii-chan is walking very fast because we were almost late. I was not in the mood today, not because I do not like having recitals, I just hate the audience. They just give applause to the performers not because of their talent but because they show respect to their parents, the executives. Well, as we were heading to the auditorium, I spotted a beautiful Sakura tree and I feel like going to it.
"Neh Jii-chan, may I be excuse just for a minute?" I stopped from walking and Jii-chan stop.
"Mi-chi, your parents are waiting for you." He knelt down and touched my cheeks.
"Mou, just for a minute Jii-chan. May I? Pwweaase Jii-chan?" I asked him with puppy eyes look on my face. I know he cannot resist it.
"Ok Mi-chi. But be back immediately. Your father will get mad."
"Yup! Thanks Jii-chan." I hug him and I go to the tree wearing my best smile.
End of flashback
"*sighs*when I grow up, I want the world to know me because of what I have not what I am." I released a deep sigh and felt the breeze ran through my hair. Suddenly someone jumped from the tree and broke the silence.
"Dream on little girl." A boy with a raven hair and crimson orbs and who is a year older than I am broke out from nowhere.
"Why are you here?" I stepped back because I planned to run away.
Flashback: Sume-chan's POV
"We are already here son."
"I know." I get up immediately from the car and walked away.
"Where are you going Sume-chan?" my mom worriedly asked then she followed me.
"I just want to freshen up mom. Promise I won't spoil the show." I said as I faced her. She gave a nod and a smile that I kept as a treasure. As I continue my walk, I saw children practicing their recital pieces. The noises they made irked me. Noises I mean, not music. Do they really know what music really is? They are making me deaf. I glanced at my surroundings and a certain tree caught my attention so I went there. I took my rest for some time when somebody disturbed me. A little girl with a brunette hair and hazel eyes is standing at the bottom of the tree. For a moment of silence, she finally broke it by saying something about letting the world know about her. Then I decided to show up. I uttered, "Dream on little girl."
End of flashback
"Why are you here?" the little girl said and stepped back. She looked as if she is uncertain of me.
"I should ask you the same thing." I stepped closer to her and I was shock by her response. She crossed her arms and she pouted at me.
"You are meanie." She suddenly sat down on the ground and smiled. "You were trying to scare me, neh? Unfortunately I wasn't."
"Hn. Apparently you were." I sat beside her.
"Mou, why are here anyway?" she looked at me.
"Don't make me repeat again little girl. I was here before you came." I faced her.
"Eh?" she was shock.
"Hn." I closed my eyes and I felt she stood up in front of me and I heard her chuckle.
"I guess you heard me, neh? Well those things I said were true." She sighed.
I looked up to see her but she was still wearing her smile that any boy will drool by it.
"I want to sing to the world and be a pop star someday. How about you?" she asked and turned to face me. I felt my cheeks warm up so I looked away.
"I don't want to be anyone."
"Well, it doesn't mean you have to be someone else you know. The thing is you just have to be happy and contented on what you have." She knelt down and her face is few inches from mine. My face became warmer in that time. I cover my eyes with my bangs.
"You are red. Are you sick?" she chuckled.
"Stay away!" I hissed.
"I haven't known you. By the way, I am—"She was cut off because we heard someone yelling.
"Mi-chan!"
"Sume-chan!"
"Okaa-san?" She ran to her mother and hugged her.
"We have to get inside. Your show is about to start now."
"Sume-chan, your father is worried about you. Let's get in already."
I stood up and proceeded to the hall. My mom just followed me and I left little girl and her mother in the tree.
Mi-chi's POV
"Gomen Kaa-san, I forgot." I smiled at my mother and she caressed my cheeks. She grabbed my hand and we started walking.
"Ikuyo neh, Mi-chi. Your father and Jii-chan are waiting."
"Hai!" I tightened my grip and we proceed to the auditorium.
OoOoOoOoOo
The recital was not that bad at all. Many children sang their songs beautifully. I was sleepy while I was waiting for my turn. Nevertheless, it stopped when a familiar boy stood on the stage. I know that he was the boy in the Sakura tree. His name was somewhat "-sume Hyuu-". I did not clearly hear his name because of the cheers and yells of the audience. Then the music began to play. He sang Go the Distance it was wonderful to hear. I kept on starring at him then I realize I was starting to like him. His face wore no emotion but his eyes tell everything. Then the music stopped and the lights were off. The host thanked him and after the host called my name, which means it is my turn. Break a leg, Mi-chi!
Sume-chan's POV
At last, my part was finish! I went to the backstage for my exit. There I saw little girl coming to me.
"You were great back there." She gave me her sweetest smile.
"Tsk. Whatever." I walked out and went back to my chair. The lights were still off then the spotlight appeared. She sang Tomorrow. She has an angelic voice that could melt anybody's hearts. Her smile was dazzling and she really sang the song wholeheartedly. She really hopes to be a star someday. Does she know that she is a star for me already? There I just realize that her song had just ended. People were already going out from the auditorium. I was about to go out too when someone stopped me. After all it was just little girl.
"Sume-chan? Neh, I am happy to meet you. We will still see each other again, right?" She smiled at me but her eyes were sad.
"If you promise me that you'll continue your dream whatever happens, we will meet again." I held her hands but I was shocked when she hugged me.
"Sayonara Sume-chan."
"Till we meet again, Mi-chi."
"Don't ever forget me."
"I promise."
