"Ka-chan…"
Karin turned around to face her twin sister, Yuzu, at the doorway with a tray in her hands. On the tray were a tea set and a sandwich. Karin smiled warmly as her twin sister settled the tray down on their brother's table. It saddened her sometimes. His room was empty for a long time. Ever since he had gotten that scholarship, he had shifted out to stay in the school's apartments since home was too far away for him to travel back and forth. Furthermore, he had been busy with rugby practice so his visits were lessening with every victory he made.
Thank god for the Internet. Karin thought. She hopped off the windowsill onto the bed and crawled over to her the desk. For the last six months, Karin inhabited the empty room and gave up her side of their room to Yuzu. Now the girls had more space for their own stuff, even though Karin kept her brother's room the way it was. She never needed many things anyway, she liked it the way it was, simple.
"How's your cheek?" Yuzu reached for Karin's cheek and caressed it motherly. It had been a week since the attack outside their neighborhood. Drunken schoolboys from a neighboring school attacked Karin on her way home from football practice. Being the fighter she was, Karin put up a good fight but being five to one, Karin eventually lost consciousness with a fist slap to the cheek and a blow to her stomach. Thankfully, their father had a good fatherly intuition that something horrid had happened and went out to look for her.
In the end, he found Karin against a lamppost unconscious with drunken boys taking pictures of her. No they did not touch her just yet, they were just taking pictures to remember their victory. Enraged, their father took the phones and cameras and crushed them to the ground with his foot. Cowardly, the boys ran off leaving Karin's father to carry her home and tend to her injuries.
Her cheek had a bruise and her stomach had a large blue-black discolouration from the blow. Instead of sinking down to trauma, Karin found the strength to report her attackers. However, things could not go back to the way it was. Reporters hounded Karin as being a brave soul and the only one who had not fall victim to the boys rape. Apparently, the boys were also being charged for three previous rapes that were only reported right after Karin's bravery of charging them. Furthermore, people made prejudgments of the victims, which was not a normality that Karin accepted.
Karin indulged in her sister's tender touch. She had always been the mother in the family, ever since their mother had left them at a very young age of four. Their father had to be credited as well for keeping the family as tight as they were before their mother left.
"It's fine." Karin picked up the sandwich and softly bit into it. It was a creamy non-nutty peanut butter.
"I opted for a softer peanut butter for you. You know, not to put a strain on the cheek." Yuzu poured some tea into the teacup.
Karin nodded her head and continued to feast on it. Yuzu reached into her apron and pulled out a small white tube. She uncapped it and squeezed out a small amount of white cream. Karin lowered her sandwich and allowed Yuzu to apply the cream to her cheek. Having a clinic in their house, their father being a town's doctor and Yuzu training under him, had it's perk. They need not waste time to drive out and wait in line for medical attention.
"Are they still out there?" Karin asked.
"Nope. But I had to unplug the phone." Yuzu giggled.
"What if the school calls?" Karin asked. Their father had decided that Karin should continue her studies in another school far from town until the media died down. It so happened that Ichigo had an opening in his school and applied for Karin. It was only going to be temporarily for the time being.
"No need." Yuzu grinned. She pulled out a sealed envelope from her apron pocket and handed it to Karin.
Karin felt her heart lunge forward as she took the envelope from Yuzu. Even though it was just to put her at ease while studying, the thought of whether you have been accepted or declined still put Karin in an uneasy mode.
"Go on, open it." Yuzu said excitedly. She took a seat next to Karin and hugged Karin.
Karin tore flap open and pulled out the letter.
"Dear Kurosaki Karin,
You have been accepted into-"
Yuzu squealed before Karin could finish the sentence. It brought her great delight to know that her sister could have a little break and peace from the commotion in town.
"Where's goat-chin?" Karin smiled. She returned her sister's hug and a tear slipped down her bruised her cheek.
"He's attending to patients at the moment." Yuzu smiled.
"Alright boys, tomorrow's practice will be canceled because it is Good Friday. Have a good rest but don't slack off!"
Ichigo grabbed his towel as their coach headed off.
"See you Captain!"
Ichigo waved to the rest of his teammates as he stayed behind with his fellow buddies. In their track pants and field shirts, the group remained on the field to catch their breath.
"God, training was intense." Renji lay down on the grass and took off his headband.
"Yeah, thank god for Good Friday." Hisagi too lay down.
"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." Ikkaku exclaimed.
"I could go for a burger." Ichigo piped as he took a seat on the grass and hung his towel around his neck.
"Where's Toushirou?" Renji asked.
"There he is." Hisagi motioned to behind Ichigo. All turned to see their newest addition to the team at the stand reaching into his backpack and taking out a bottle of water. They watched him uncapped the bottle and pour water all over his head. His hair that was partially defying gravity had completely submitted to the weight of the liquid.
Hitsugaya shook his head as he indulged in the chilly sensation of the ice-cold water. He had no time to shower before work so dowsing himself in cold water was enough for him. All he had to do now was head into the changing room and change out of his training clothes. He grabbed his backpack and slung over his wet shoulder. Noticing the group looking at him out of the corner of his eye, he ignored them and headed into the school.
"It has been two weeks since he had joined us and yet he has not even had a normal conversation with us. He just disappears off right after practice. He doesn't even talk to us in the apartment. Just stays cooped up in his room." Ikkaku could feel a tick of annoyance in the back of his head.
"Give him some time." Ichigo sighed. "It took me awhile to get to know you guys when I first came here."
"Yeah but you weren't a prick." Hisagi said.
"Maybe he's just a little more harder to warm up than me. He'll come around sooner or later." Ichigo shrugged.
"Anyway, let's go and shower and grab some dinner." Renji got up. Just as the group started to head off, someone called out for Ichigo. All turned around to see a petite girl walking toward them with an envelope in her hand. She was dressed in a purple long sleeve button less top, a knee length brown skirt and a brown flat boots hugger.
"Yo Rukia," Ichigo greeted as he took the envelope from her.
"Kuchiki-san."
"Rukia."
"Wassup?"
"Hey guys, sorry but this is just for Ichigo. The admin office asked me to pass it to you if I see you." Rukia turned to Ichigo.
"What is it?" Ichigo asked as he unsealed the envelope.
"How would I know baka? I can't magically see through it." Rukia sarcastically replied him.
Ichigo unfolded the letter and read the content carefully. A smiled appeared on his lips.
"Something good?" Renji asked.
"You bet. My sister Karin has been accepted into our school." Ichigo turned to his buddies.
"Karin-chan?" Renji said.
"Yeah."
"Sweet, how is she doing?" Renji asked.
"She's doing better…I hope." Ichigo's smiled dropped too soon. Rukia placed her hand on Ichigo's shoulder and shook him a little.
"She'll be fine. I've got two people moving into my apartment day after tomorrow so for all you know it could be her." Rukia gave a kind smile.
"I'll take care of her even if she's not bunking with me." Rukia patted Ichigo's back before turning away and heading back to the school.
I know I can always count you, Rukia. Ichigo smiled.
"Oi, stop looking so strangely at Rukia." Renji lightly jabbed Ichigo in the ribs.
"I was not okay? I'm not going to have a go with her. Jeez, we're not like that." Ichigo replied in an annoyed tone.
"Just checking." Renji grinned.
"So what's the deal? You look so damn upset when Renji asked how Karin was doing?" Ikkaku picked up his burger from his plate.
Ichigo leaned back with his hands tucked under the table. He had lost his appetite many times when he thought back on Karin's plight. It made it really hard for him to sleep well at night and concentrate on his work. It took him a great deal of effort to keep his head cool and not march down back home to beat the ones responsible for her pain.
Just as Ikkaku was about to ask again, a bell rang and Ichigo got up to retrieve his burger.
"Wha-"
"Don't ask him again, Ikkaku." Renji took a sip of his drink.
"You know what happened?" Hisagi asked.
"Yeah, I was with Ichigo when his dad called." Renji sighed. "After the game, his dad informed him that Karin had been attacked on her way home from school practice. She was still unconscious when they were on the phone. Only an hour later did she regain consciousness."
"What asshole did that?" Hisagi exclaimed.
"Five assholes, drunk schoolboys." Renji sighed.
"She didn't get…you know…raped?" Ikkaku asked.
"No she didn't. She was luckier than the previous victims. Her dad found her before they could have done it." Renji turned toward the counter to see Ichigo grabbing some serviettes.
"Ever since that attack, reporters have been hounding her for an interview and with the injuries she has, she was and still is in no state to have a normal life returned to her just yet. Her dad decided that coming out here might give her a break, until things settle down back at home." Renji finished.
"Damn…" Hisagi scowled. "No wonder Ichigo was in such a pissed off mood that day. I would be if that happened to someone I knew."
"I hope those fuckers get jailed for life." Ikkaku bit into his burger.
Ichigo dumped his training bag at one corner of the living room and dropped onto the couch. It was coming to ten at night when he got back. The rest were still out catching a movie. He reached for his laptop he had left on the coffee table earlier in the morning and placed it on his lap. As he switched on his laptop, the bathroom door opened. Out came Hitsugaya in a pair of sweatpants, grey shirt and a towel around his neck.
"Yo Toushirou," Ichigo greeted.
"Kurosaki." Hitsugaya stopped and looked around. "Where are the others?"
"Catching a movie." Ichigo answered.
"What about you?" Hitsugaya wondered.
"Not interested in the movie their watching. Decided to come home and chill before tomorrow." Ichigo stretched his arms.
"What's happening tomorrow?" Hitsugaya asked. He headed into the kitchen and opened the fridge door. He pulled out a carton of milk and opened the cabinet.
"Nothing much. Just need to settle some administrative and lodging stuff for my sister." Ichigo reached for the remote and turned the television on.
"You're sister? Didn't know you had siblings." Hitsugaya spoke. He pulled a glass and poured the milk in.
"I have twin sisters." Ichigo smiled.
"That's…nice."
"But one is only coming over. Not both."
Hitsugaya leaned against the counter. For the last two weeks, he had come to know the four jocks. Renji was Ichigo's best friend; Ikkaku and Hisagi were Ichigo's close buds while Rukia, who he had seen a few times, was Ichigo's oldest friend. However he knew little as he had little like for small talk or interaction. He had better things to do.
"You doing anything tomorrow?" Ichigo asked.
"Maybe. Why?" Hitsugaya placed the empty glass into the sink. He turned the tap on and grabbed a sponge.
"The guys were thinking of having lunch together. Want to join us?" Ichigo enquired.
Hitsugaya placed the wet glass on the rack to allow the water to drip off.
"I'll let you know. I got quite a bit of work to catch up on. Thanks anyway." Hitsugaya answered stoically and headed back to his room. Ichigo shrugged. At least I had a normal conversation with him.
He returned his attention to his laptop screen and clicked on "Messenger". A list appeared as Ichigo changed the television channel to a news casting. He doubled click on a name and a chat window appeared.
Ichigo: Hey Ka-chan, how you doing?
Ichigo typed. Immediately, he had a response.
Ka_Chan: Hey Ichinii, yeah I'm fine. You?
Ichigo: I'm good. I'm happy that you're leaving tomorrow for here.
Ka_Chan: Same. I need a break. All this interruptions down here are a real pain in the ass. I can't even go out without wearing shades, a wig and a hoody. Oh and heavy make up…for the cheek you know?
Ichigo sighed.
Ichigo: Don't worry. Life up here in a Northern town is pretty simple, quiet and laid back. Well, I wouldn't say quiet and laid back for school but enough for you to get the hang of it.
Ka_Chan: Haha that's great. Oh yeah, dad asked if lodging has been settled?
Ichigo: The school will inform me tomorrow morning so not to worry. Once I got it settled, I'll message you.
Ka_Chan: Thanks!
Ichigo: How's your stomach?
Ka_Chan: Slightly better. There's still a bad discolouration there and I still have problems bending down. I still have to use a stupid kid's toy just to pick things up from the ground. Thank goodness it's just at home.
Ichigo: What about at school?
Ka_Chan: ……I've yet to think about it.
Ichigo: Don't worry. I'll think of something for you.
Ka_Chan: I got to go Ichi-nii, I'll talk to you later. Love you!
Ichigo: Love you too.
Ichigo laid back and looked up at the television screen. What would be useful for helping pick up things other than using a kid's toy?
"Make sure you apply the cream twice a day. If it gets really painful, the pills here will help. And don't forget that if you need help picking up something, don't be afraid to ask someone."
"Yuzu, I know, you've gone through it with me last night."
"And remember, don't try to prove to anyone you can do something. First priority is to get well."
"Yuzu, I got it. I"-
"And don't forget to call me."
Isshin sighed and closed the car boot. He turned around to see his two daughters embracing each other in a twin tight hug. It brought a swelling feeling to his stomach as he watched them shed tears. Karin did not deserve what happened to her and yet, she had to suffer the aftermath. Now he had to send her away in order for her to have a proper life. What kind of father sends their injured children far away?
He turned to the sky as the sun started to set. It was a five-hour journey to the town and it would be around three am when they reach their destination.
Masaki…please help Karakura town return back to normal for our dear Karin-Chan. Isshin prayed as he watched his daughters have to pry themselves away from each other.
"I'm going to miss-s you." Yuzu cried. This was the first time her twin was leaving her for a long period of time. They had always been together and the sudden emptiness in a pair brought about more tears.
"Don't worry. Time moves quickly." Karin wiped her tears away and proceeded to wipe her sister's tears away.
"I'll be back before you know it." Karin pressed her forehead against Yuzu's forehead.
"I'll call you everyday. If not, I'll catch you online. You can't get rid of me that easily. I'm hard to shake off." Karin joked. Yuzu giggled and hugged her sister tightly one more time.
"Come on girls, daddy is going to cry if you get anymore emotional." Isshin chuckled.
Yuzu nodded and released Karin. After one last touch to her hair, Yuzu knew she was ready to let Karin go.
"I'll call you when I get there." Karin gave a small kiss on her twin's cheek. "Love you Yuzu. See you!"
"I'll be back tomorrow Yuzu. Take care of the house, sweetheart." Isshin waved to his daughter. He opened the car door and slowly helped Karin into the passenger front seat. After buckling Karin down, he went over to the driver side and got in.
Yuzu wiped her tear away and she watched the car drove off. First Ichigo, now Karin, it was getting more and more lonelier in the house. But maybe, that is what growing up does, it takes people further away.
It was already a long journey on the road. The moon was high in the sky and the night breeze was fluttering about in the car, tossing Karin's hair about. Isshin glanced over at his sleeping daughter. He sighed. Karin had his black hair and eyes, but she had her mother's fiery spirit. She never gave up, even when Masaki had left. Yuzu on the other hand looked almost like Masaki with her hair and eyes. She even had the soft heart of their mother. Ichigo was more like him though. The fights he had gotten into, Isshin wondered if he really rubbed that off his son.
Isshin smiled. Our kids are growing up just fine. I know they are. I'm not a bad dad, aren't I, Masaki?
A star twinkled in the sky, as if Masaki was laughing with him. Isshin chuckled.
"What?" Isshin noticed a car stopped in the distance. It looked like a Karakura cab had stalled at the side of the road. There were two people out, one being the driver and the other a passenger, most likely. Isshin slowly down to a stop next to the cab.
"Kind sir, what happened?" Isshin asked. The cab driver looked up from his car hood and scratched his head.
"Don't know. The battery just died and I just had it replaced two days ago." The cab driver explained. Isshin looked over to the young lady.
"Where are you headed, Ms?" Isshin asked.
"I'm heading up to Northern Town." The girl replied. She held onto her jacket as the strong night breeze blew against her.
"That's where I'm going with my daughter." Isshin patted Karin's head. The girl peered in and noticed that he was not lying. There was a girl about two years younger than her sleeping next to him in the passenger seat.
"Miss, I think maybe you should hitch a ride with them. The pick up truck is going to take about two hours to get here." The cab driver stated.
"Alright." The girl decided. "How much should I pay you then?" She reached into her handbag and pulled out her wallet.
"Thirty dollars." The cab driver glanced at the meter. "Sorry again." He apologized.
"Not to worry." The girl smiled. The cab driver went over to the cab boot and opened it up. He pulled out her suitcase and helped load it up in Isshin's car. The girl waved goodbye to the cab driver as Isshin started the car.
"Buckle up." Isshin glanced at the girl through his rear view mirror. She sat behind Karin and buckled herself in.
"My name is Kurosaki Isshin," Isshin introduced himself as he drove off. "And the sleepy head here is Karin."
"I'm Orihime Inoue. Nice to meet you, Kurosaki-san. Thank you for assisting me. That's awfully kind of you." Orihime leaned forward.
"It's no problem. We're heading in the same direction aren't we?" Isshin smiled kindly.
"You're heading to Northern Town for holiday?" He asked.
"Nope, I'm starting my new term at their school there." Orihime leaned her head against the car seat.
"Oh, so is my daughter here. Her older brother is studying there right now. Kurosaki Ichigo, that's his name." Isshin said.
"Really? How nice, she won't be alone then." Orihime smiled sadly. How she wished she still had her brother around to keep her company. She looked over at the sleeping girl and sighed. That Karin is really lucky…
Hitsugaya got up from bed and ran his fingers through his hair. It was five in the morning and a Good Friday. That meant no school so he could head down to the shop and work. He pulled out his jeans and a baby green t-shirt from his drawer. After dressing himself, he grabbed his keys and opened his room door. Just as he stepped out, the apartment door open. In came stumbling in the rest of his apartment mates, all drunk except for one, Renji.
"Oi, oh, hey Toushirou," Renji greeted as he tried to hold up Ikkaku and Hisagi.
Hitsugaya eyed the blabbering drunks and tucked his keys into his jeans pocket.
"Abarai. I guess me greeting them won't make a difference since they're completely wasted." Hitsugaya shrugged.
"Heh, they had too much to drink despite my warnings. Oh well, it's a Good Friday, they had to take it." Renji grunted as he tried to hold his weight.
"What are you doing up so early?" Renji asked as he dropped Ikkaku and Hisagi on the couch.
"Going to work." Hitsugaya headed towards the door.
"Hey Toushirou, you got time for lunch later?" Renji asked.
"Maybe. I'm quite busy." And the door closed.
"He says he always got work. What the hell does he do?" Renji wondered.
Hitsugaya stepped out of the apartment building and greeted the early morning fresh air. There were good things about the Northern Town. It was homely, clean, safe and fresh. It was very different from a bustling city where the noise never died, danger always hidden and the filth never receded. It was a good change. Hitsugaya pulled out his keys and made his way to his teal moped that was parked under the tree. He got onto his moped and wore on his helmet. He started the engine and headed off.
Shops on the streets were still closed as he rode pass them. He could not imagine himself working in those shops, now somewhere too close to school. No, thank goodness his cousin opened up her business much further from the centre of the town.
Soon he neared a sign that read "Hinamori's Bed and Breakfast Cottage". He drove into the compound and parked his moped under the tree. He looked up and noticed through the window that the counter area was still dark. It seemed like he had to take first shift. Hitsugaya entered the cottage and rounded the counter. He tucked his helmet under the desk. He switched on the counter lights and turned on the computer to check for the day's booking.
"Kurosaki Isshin." Hitsugaya read on the monitor. The family name immediately brought up the conversation he had with Ichigo.
"Must be his old man." Hitsugaya sighed.
Half an hour passed and a car pulled up in the compound. Hitsugaya came out of the back with a sweater on. He saw a man and two girls got out of the car.
I thought Kurosaki said one sister? Hitsugaya thought. He headed out of the cottage and headed toward the car. At that time, the driver would most probably was ready to collapse from driving overnight.
"Let me help." Hitsugaya offered. "I work here." He could not tell if the man was really Ichigo's father as the man and his daughter had black hair. Strangely though, he could not help but find the black hair girl a thing of beauty. Her dark grey eyes twinkled the moment they locked eyes. The other girl had dark orange hair, similar to Ichigo. However she looked older than Karin so she could not be the twin sister.
"Thanks son," Isshin pulled out Karin's suitcase while Hitsugaya reached for the other Orihime's suitcase.
Hitsugaya grabbed the suitcase and brought it into the cottage. He settled it down at the waiting area and went behind the counter.
"Kurosaki Isshin." Isshin mentioned his name.
"Yep, a room for one right?" Hitsugaya clicked on the mouse.
"Yep. Do you have another room by any chance? That young lady there lost the address and number to another home stay she booked so now she has nowhere to go." Isshin enquired.
"We have an extra." Hitsugaya replied.
"He's cute, isn't he?" Orihime leaned toward Karin. She noticed that the moment they saw him, Karin had adorned a mesmerized look on her face. An hour after her pickup from the road, Karin had awoken and gotten to know Orihime. Since they were also going to be schoolmates, they quickly became friends.
"Huh?" Karin turned over to Orihime. "No…he's not." Karin defended herself.
"You had that look on your face." Orihime teased.
"What look? I was just caught up at how white his natural hair is, that's all." Karin said.
"It's natural? How would you know?" Orihime was surprised.
"You can tell by their eyebrows. His eyebrows are white as well. So it's natural." Karin explained.
"Oh. Interesting." Orihime said. "He's got gorgeous eyes too." Orihime commented.
"If you're interested, go ask him out then." Karin pouted.
"Me? No way. He's got to be around your age. I don't date younger guys. Besides, if I have to ask him anything, it would be if he's single and interested in you." Orihime giggled.
"I don't like you and don't you dare." Karin slapped Orihime's shoulder.
"Alright, I won't." Orihime smiled.
"Alright, I've got another room for you Orihime. Come on girls, Hitsugaya-san will show us to our rooms." Isshin motioned the girls.
"Oh yes, Hitsugaya-san, I forgot to introduce my daughter and her friend." Isshin called out for Hitsugaya.
Hitsugaya mentally sighed. He really was not interested in introductions, however as it was his job to keep guests happy, he had no other choice. He put the suitcase down and headed toward where the two girls were seated.
"This is my daughter Kurosaki-Karin and this young lady is Orihime Inoue." Isshin introduced. The two girls bowed and Hitsugaya bowed in return.
"My name is Hitsugaya Toushirou. A pleasure to meet you ladies." Hitsugaya smiled.
Karin mentally swooned at the smoothness of his voice before mentally slapping herself. What's wrong with you? Never seen a boy for sixteen years? God…
"Charming fellow," Isshin smacked Hitsugaya's back.
"Ouff" Hitsugaya stumbled a bit.
"Dad…you don't have to break his back." Karin frowned.
"Sorry son, sometimes I forget my own strength." Isshin boasted. Karin sighed and shook her head. Maybe it was about time her father got some sleep.
As they waited at the lift, Karin turned to her father.
"Hey dad, is it okay if I share a room with Orihime-san?" Karin asked.
"If she's okay with it." Isshin smiled.
Orihime smiled back with a nod. "Some company would be nice."
"Alright then. I think I can find my room just fine. Hitsugaya-san, would you be so kind as to show the girls they're room then since we're on both floors?" Isshin smiled.
"Of course."
Hitsugaya settled the two suitcases in the room. The girls stepped into the room and immediately felt very comfortable. Karin turned around to Hitsugaya as he flipped the sign to "Do Not Disturb".
"Breakfast comes with the room so no charge for it. Breakfast starts at nine am." Hitsugaya spoke.
"Thanks Hitsugaya-san." Karin smiled.
"No problem." Hitsugaya smiled. He was about to turn away when he was posed a question.
"I-is there…you know, umm...anything interesting up here in Northern Town?" Karin blushed lightly.
Hitsugaya noticed her stammer and smiled. "Well, the spring festival is coming up soon. It's annual. People tend to dress up a little for the event."
"Oh, when is it and what do they usually have?" Karin inquired.
"Two weeks later. It's doesn't have big rides but it has small stalls of minute games. The only ride attraction would be the ferris wheel. Other than that, there's the skateboard park here, if you skate board. There's a horse farm, the beach, the flower garden, lover's hill top and pretty much that's it." Hitsugaya answered.
"Lover's hilltop? Sounds like where couples make out." Karin asked.
"Probably but mostly in the less open areas of the hill. The open meadow is a good place for star gazing." Hitsugaya smiled.
"Oh, right. Thanks. Will take note of that since I'll be staying here for quite a while." Karin laughed nervously.
"Studying here?" Hitsugaya asked.
"Yeah, my big brother studies in one of this here town's school." Karin rocked on her heels once. Hitsugaya nodded and then realized he had been talking too much to his guest.
"Sorry, I shouldn't be keeping you from your rest." Hitsugaya apologized.
"Oh, no, really, it's fine." Karin laced her fingers together.
"I shall take my leave. Have a good rest, Ms. Kurosaki-san, Ms. Orihime-san." Hitsugaya bowed out and closed the room door.
Karin sighed. He must think I am idiot right now. Way to go. The first boy you think you are crushing on and you scared him away.
"I think he likes you." Orihime giggled. Karin jumped. She had completely forgotten that Orihime was in the room as well.
Hi guys, this story is inspired by Jacqueline Diaz (not me though we share the same name). I love her drawings and got inspired to do this. I have gone through more than ten drafts and finally settled on this one.
Please enjoy it and leave your comments in the reviews :)
And please note that I do not take anymore requests as I am finding it hard to finish those that I have done halfway. I do not wish to disappoint anyone further (which I am pretty sure I have).
The second chapter will come up once I have completed all my requests. Promise! *Please excuse my grammatical mistakes if you spot any! I'll come back and fix it later.
