01: Hikari, daydreaming
I sipped from my cup of coffee as I sat at the chair by the window in the large kitchen. I looked over the green countryside and started to feel at ease. My thoughts started drifting and I blankly twisted the band on my finger on my left hand.
It had been three years since he had died and I still didn't have the heart to stop wearing the ring that had once signified our marriage.
"Helloooo~! Shiemi, Ayaka, Hikari! Kaori and I are back!" Rin's voice called. "I'm in the kitchen." I called back, setting my cup on the table beside me.
Rin walked into the kitchen, setting the grocery bags he was carrying on the counter. Behind him, an eight-year old girl followed him and set her own bags on the counter. Her long brown hair was tied back into a ponytail and when she turned to face me, I saw her beautiful turquoise eyes.
His eyes.
Rin turned to look at me as well and I smiled softly. "So how was shopping with your uncle Kaori?" I asked. Kaori huffed. "Mom, I can't understand how you put up with him!" she said, before turning to Rin. "Ojisan, we didn't need to get all of this! We only went to the store for milk and eggs!"
Rin held up his hands and smiled sheepishly before looking my way. "Where are Shiemi and Ayaka?" he asked. "Your wife and daughter are in the garden." I said, nodding in the direction of the garden. "Thanks Hikari! I have something that I wanted to show them!" Rin said happily. He grabbed a bag from the counter and dashed out of the kitchen.
Kaori sighed and walked over to me. She gave me a tight hug and looked at me. "Mom...I miss dad." she said quietly. I hugged my daughter back. "I miss him too honey." I said softly.
Kaori pulled away and sat in the chair next to mine. She put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on them. "Why did he have to die?" She whispered. I sighed. "Some things...just happen for a reason Kaori. Your father...he died the way that he hoped. Protecting people." I said, staring into my cup.
Kaori sighed and looked at me sadly. "I know but...I wish that he was still here." she said softly. I set my hand on her elbow. "I know honey; I do too."
"Mom...how did you and dad meet? How did you guys fall in love?" Kaori asked. I smiled. "Well...when I met your father, he actually saved me. I...actually fell for him about a year after that." I said. "How did he save you?" Kaori asked, curiousity showing on her face.
"He saved me from some bad men."
