Two Sisters
Niji, was humming while walking alongside her younger sister, Riko.
"Niji onee-chan, what song is that?" asked Riko to her older sister.
They were both holding hands while walking home, along one of the roads in their hometown - a remote village in Fukuoka.
The warm breeze swept their hair back and the fresh smell of dandelions and sunflower filled the air.
"Hmm? Ah, onee-chan made this song. Do you like it?" asked Niji.
"Mmmm, I love it! It feels very-" Riko stopped walking, and clipped her fingers to her chin, as if she was thinking hardly.
Niji stopped to observe her sister, who seemed deep in thought.
"Hrmmmmm... Colourful?" Riko finally said.
"Yeah, very colourful like a rainbow!".
Riko grinned at her sister and continued walking.
"Colourful?" replied Niji and followed after her sister, looking puzzled at her.
"Yeap. Just like your name, onee-chan! Niji like a rainbow!" said Riko.
*(Niji = rainbow)
Niji chuckled at her sister's comment.
"Onee-chan, can you make a song with me too?" asked Riko cheerfully.
"Sure! We can make one together when we reach home," said Niji.
"Owkay! Then we have to get home faster! Walk faster onee-chan!" said Riko as she pulled her sister along the road.
"Hai! Hai!," said Niji.
*(Hai = Ok)
~ At home ~
"Okaa-san, tadaima! ," said Niji and Riko.
*(Tadaima = I'm home)
"Okairi! ," replied their mum, who was in the kitchen.
*(Okairi = Welcome home)
The two girls ran upstairs - into Niji's room, and played the piano.
During dinner, the girls discussed about the song they had made together.
They were cleaning up when suddenly, Niji accidentally broke a plate.
"Ah! Sorry," said Niji, who was feeling a bit dizzy.
"Are you alright?!" said Niji's mum, who was shocked by the loud "PANG!" from the plate.
"I'll get the broom!" said Riko who immediately ran into the kitchen.
Niji's father helped her to the couch to rest for a bit.
He said, " Rest for a while now. You shouldn't overwork yourself since you just came back from the hospital, this afternoon...".
Riko returned with the broom and cleaned the pieces of the shattered plate, while their mum cleaned the dining table.
"What did the doctor say?" Niji's father asked, a face full of concern and worry.
I shouldn't make them worry so much... This few days, the side-effects have worsen.. The doctor also said that my condition wasn't getting any better... What should I do?! I have to think of something fast!... But, wouldn't they find out soon... Arghh!... I'l-I'll just have to lie first...
"He said that my condition is getting better," said Niji, who smiled weakly at her father.
Niji's father nodded his head and asked her to go to rest.
Niji went to her room, and slumped onto her bed, with her face stuff into her pillow.
I don't know what I should do... I-In fact...
A tear slipped from Niji's eyes.
...There's nothing I CAN do...
With that, Niji cried herself to sleep and eventually fell into a deep sleep...
``A few days later``
Niji and Riko just arrived home from another walk around the village.
Niji suddenly started coughing badly.
*Cough* *Cough*
"Niji onee-chan? Are you alright?" asked Riko.
"Yeah," said Niji weakly.
*Cough* *Cough*
Niji covered her mouth with her hand as she coughed.
When she removed her hands, she saw dark, red, liquid that contrasted the colour of her pale skinned hands.
There was blood on Niji's hand...
"Niji onee-chan! T-There's blood on your hand! A-Are you really alright?!" said Riko, eyes widen, frightened by what she saw.
"Uhm! I-" Niji's throat tightened...
Her head swirled, and her eyes felt so heavy...
*POOM!*
Niji fell on the floor.
"Okaa-san! Okaa-san!," screamed Riko, on the verge of tears.
Everything around Niji became blurry, but she could see a few figures showing up.
"Niji!...ji!...Ni...!". Sharp voices rang in Niji's ears.
But, that was all Niji heard before she fell unconscious..
Author's note : I really really hated that I had to change the characters in my story to relate them to an anime, which I chose "Kuroko No Basuke"... My original story wasn't actually related to any anime, but in the end I chose to write about Seirin's coach, Riko Aida, since I was quite curious about her throughout the anime and I wished there was more said about her, and her past... I'm not sure whether I should continue, but I hope you liked it!
