Hello. Hikari-chama here. I hope you like my story! I will update soon. Maybe today.

I do not own Harvest Moon. Natsume Inc does.

Enjoy!

Going Back: New Life

Prologue(Two years ago)

POV: Hikari Ketsueki

There was an unknown disease that effects only adults. Not one person knows what it is. It leaves kids with no families. Including me, and my aniki. It's heartbreaking. Though there was an antidote, which scientists had created the medicine with the virus a few months before. Which worked, of course. But not exactly, as for my parents.

Beep... beep... beep.

Quivering, shaking. Fearing of losing the ones who raised me. Crying, the tears blinding my vision. I was usually considered as this cool beauty, to look and act like a doll. A brilliant genius[finished college at age twelve], a gorgeous beauty with a beautiful voice, a master in all ways of martial arts, but that reputation would've shattered for anyone to have seen me now. But now, the tears were falling, seemingly forever. I wept without a care of anything besides my family.

Rapidly, rapidly. Footsteps were coming my way.

Breathing heavily, my big brother stood in front of me,"Hi-Hi... kari..."

"...Aniki, you're sweating too much. Shoo," I said. I don't talk much, but people love it when I do. Ignoring my harsh remarks, he roll his eyes.

"How are Mom and Dad?" I turned my head.

"There treatment is helping, but it's not enough. But, they will be able to hold off a bit longer."

"T-that's good to hear...," his face turned annoyed,"Hey, you didn't come here on your own, did you?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"Ugh! You're only twelve!"

"Geez. Well... you, yourself, are starting a farm at this age."

"Uh-huh. But I finished my studies already. Besides, I'm an apprentice. I have someone who's helping out, too!"

"I finished school, too. And the requirements for you to move to that island is for you to go to school again, and interact with people your own age. You, sir, are still fourteen years old."

"Egh, but you-"

"Kids, you can come in now," the nurse said.

"A-ah. Of course...," we both muttered in unison.

"Mother! Father!" I yelled. Just so you know, I never do that.

"Uraagh...," was the response from my father. Lazy old man... But I felt a bit relieved, he looked better than before.

"Hikari, you're here...! Is that Yuuki?" my mother smiled.

"Yeah. I'm here, Mom," Aniki looked a bit sheepish.

"Oh, Yuuki... we missed you. How is it at the island?"

"It's fine. How are you guys doing?" Aniki replied.

"You still can's see, is that right?" I asked flatly.

"We're sorry... But, it's okay! Don't-" she didn't get a chance to answer, stopping to violently cough.

"Please! Please,...don't push yourself..."

"Don't worry, kids...," my father drowsily snorts.

"Alright. Ah... Your father fell asleep again.."

"Hmmm..."

"Old geezer...," Aniki never liked Father's snoring.

"Hummm...," This time was a little softer, it's Mother's snoring. Yes, my high class mother snored.

"Oh...well. I guess that they both are sleeping," I whispered.

"Hmm... yeah..."

"Ne, Aniki. I-if Mother and Father pass away...could I come and live with you... on Castanet?" I requested, my voice shaky. My brother had been surprised by this bizzare request.

"Of course... But you still have to redo school and help with the farm." He looked like he was mentally listing the reasons on why I was acting that way.

"Alright, it's fine with me..."

I hoped you liked it! Next will be a time skip to moving. Aniki means 'older brother' in a respectful way.
