Chapter 2: Kisses

It was the day of the hot air ballon race and Yotsuba was being spun around by her father. The small girl had her arms in his as he spun she giggled wildly. Lifted in the air it was no wonder she thought she was flying.

Yotsuba was giggling as she spun before her feet finally set back on the ground.

"Wow, that was fun!" Yotsuba laughed obviously dizzy. "Asagi next!"

Koiwai said, "No, No..." Then he spotted Asagi with her arms outstretched towards him, "Whaaaa?!"

Koiwai shrugged and grabbed their arms, as they spun he tried his best to get her into the air but that turned out to rather impossible. Still Asagi smiled and laughed as they spun around, and though her feet never left the ground she still felt that she flew even for a moment.

Asagi eyes snap open as she wakes up. She shakes off the memory of the dream. She rubs her eyes as she stumbles out of bed. She pauses for a moment to wonder why she was dreaming about that day. She just assumes that she had the dream because she was thinking about the pair lately.

Asagi walks towards the kitchen and gets herself a glass of water. She's thinking of going back to sleep, she usually doesn't wake up this early. The Sun is barely up and she's sure no one else in the house is awake, it's still dark inside the house.

She starts to walk back when she hears a knock on the door.

"It's a little early for visitors." Asagi mumbles to herself.

When she opens the door to find Koiwai wearing a black business suit and Yotsuba was sleeping on his back. Asagi blushed a little suddenly feeling under dressed with him wearing a suit while she was just wearing an old loose shirt and sweats.

"Why are you wearing a suit?" Asagi questions.

"Work." He told her blankly.

"Oh, today is when you go for your trip." Asagi suddenly remembered.

"Yeah, my taxi is here I just came to drop off Yotsuba."

The small green hair girl was sleeping on his back.

"She's still asleep?" Asagi questioned.

"Yeah, I try not to wake her. She gets really cranky."

"Yotsuba?" Asagi poked her pudgy cheek.

Without so much as opening her eyes Yotsuba slapped her hand away. "She's not here."

"Okay." Asagi shrugged before taking Yotsuba from Koiwai.

"Here are here things." Koiwai also handed off a duffle bag. "It her clothes and some others things. The keys to the house are in the big pocket on the side in case you have to get something for her."

"Okay." Asagi said nodding.

There was a loud honk form outside.

"Alright, I have to go my taxi is about to leave without me." Koiwai patted Yotsuba on the head. "Okay, Yotsuba I'll be back in a few days. I love you." With that he quickly gave Yotsuba a kiss on the forehead.

Asagi couldn't help but smile at the sweet gesture. Yotsuba's head rested on her shoulder so it was a little awkward for Asagi as it felt almost like she was intruding on their moment that was when the taxi honked again. Koiwai turned his head to look back and half a turn his lips accidentally fell on Asagi's cheek for a short moment before he turned all the way to the taxi.

"Uh, I have to go?" Koiwai quickly said before she started to leave. "Thank you for watching Yotsuba." With that he ran out to his inpatient taxi.

Asagi froze for a moment her face quickly turning red. He had kissed her, it was clearly and accident and it looked like he didn't even notice it himself. She did her best to suppress the memory of the kiss, it was an accident that he didn't even notice so she figured it was best ignored. "Have a safe trip." Asagi just yelped.

Asagi closed the door and took in the bag and Yotsuba on the couch.

"Still asleep?" Asagi asked but the girl didn't respond.

Asagi noticed that her father had taken the time to change her her out of her usual pajamas.

"Wow, you are a really heavy sleeper?" Asagi questioned the still sleeping girl.

Asagi picked her up for a second and then flipped her upside down. Even upside down the girl continued to sleep peacefully.

"Don't that." A familiar voice scolded her.

Asagi turned around to see her mother up and awake. Asagi quickly flipped the girl over and carried her the right way.

"So Koiwai already dropped off Yotsuba." Her mother simply said what she guessed happened.

"Yeah." Asagi answered. "He had to leave right away."

"Well, since you're help early help me make breakfast. I'm thinking of making pancakes so Yotsuba can them with us when she wakes up."

"Pancakes!" Yotsuba bolt up.

"That wakes you up?!" Asagi asked.

"Asagi!" Yotsuba wrapped her arms around her neck as to hug her. "Where am I?"

"You're at our house." Asagi began to explain. "Your dad just dropped you off."

"He didn't say good bye." Yotsuba looked disappointed.

"No, he did." Asagi tried to reassure her. "He even left you a kiss." Yotsuba just looked up at her confused. "Hm, like this." Asagi kissed her forehead.

"Oh." Yotsuba let out as she touched her own head. "Daddy kissed you to give me that kiss."

"No!" Asagi quickly told her. "He kissed you when he said good bye. He said he'd be back in a few days and we're supposed to watch you until he gets back."

"Right." The small girl nodded. "Right."

"How about I start those pancakes." The older woman who had watching in amusement spoke up.

"I'll help." Yotsuba cheered. "I'm good at making pancakes."

"You are?" Mrs. Ayase said with a happy tone.

Yotsuba quickly followed her into the kitchen to start making pan cakes. When they left the room Asagi found herself touching her cheek where Koiwai accidentally kissed her. She didn't understand why but that portion of her face felt different.

Asagi walked into the kitchen a moment later, "Okay, let's make some pancakes."

Her mother looked at her with surprise. "You're going to help? I thought I'd have to twist your arm to get you to help me."

"Well, I thought it might be fun." Asagi shrugged.

Her mother gave her a small smile, "Fine, but you're not getting mine."

Asagi stuck her tongue at her mother for assuming she'd take her pancakes, she thought it though.
