"Natsuki! Stop being so lazy! She'll be here soon!"
"Do you really have to shout, Alyssa?" Within her sister's cluttered room, Natsuki stared at the blonde. Sat, her elbow rested against her wheelchair's arm. "You're almost double digits now, Alyssa."
"Nine fingers." The child lifted her hands, frowning when a scoff was sent her way. "Stop being so mean!"
"Eight fingers and one thumb." Natsuki muffled into her palm, an eyebrow arching as she continued to regard Alyssa. Having a scrunched up expression fired her way, Natsuki shook her head. "Sisters." She snickered, turning her head to the window.
It was clear out, and the sun was within the sky. For a moment, she blankly stared out; her expression settling. With her fingers supporting her head, she absently pondered. Just what was her meister going to be like?
"Na-tsu-ki!" Her sister prodded her, a shuffling of weight being added down on her. With Alyssa setting herself into her lap, she grumbled out.
"Fine, fine. If you insist." Natsuki muttered under her breath. Sitting up straight, she gave the younger Kruger space to move around. Once Alyssa was happy with her back facing Natsuki, the blonde happily sat.
"Comfy?" Natsuki asked, placing her hands against her chair's armrests. With a nod being passed, she smiled faintly. "You do know you'll think this is gross in a few years, right?" In only three and a half years, Alyssa would be a teenager. The concept felt surreal- Natsuki could remember when the blonde was a newborn. Let alone being nine years old.
That time had flown past so quickly. So fast in fact, Natsuki had never registered it. But now? Time grinded on so slowly. It was to a point that it may as well come to a complete standstill.
She wouldn't be walking again.
"You're doing it again. Stop it." Small hands batted at her face, and Natsuki blinked. Alyssa had manoeuvred again to face her. With younger emerald narrowing, the sister prodded her. "Stop. It. I'll help you not be unwell!"
"If only." Natsuki chuckled loosely, guiding Alyssa into her previous position. Propping her chin atop the younger's head, she continued. "Besides, shouldn't you be outside doing… kid things?"
"It's fine when it's just Miyu. But why must I be watched over by so many people?" Alyssa huffed. She just couldn't understand the concept. Their mother was always pestering her to make friends. But how was she supposed to when she was being "protected" every other day?
"You're the daughter of the P-"
"-President this, President that."
With a laugh sounding from Natsuki, the elder leaned back. Resting her knuckles to her jaw, she sighed. "Alyssa, aren't you the more sensible one in this family?" She asked, resting her free limb to the armrest.
"Natsuki Kruger, Alyssa Kruger?" A voice sounded as the bedroom door opened. Natsuki glanced towards it, and her expression settled once more. A brunette stood just outside the room. No more than an inch taller than her, the woman regarded them silently.
Shizuru Viola.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
As always, I'm going to gradually introduce different characters. This is going to work differently compared to Renascence and Squall, however. So instead of the usual characters, it could be a guessing game this time around.
REVIEWS
Guest 1 & Guest 2: I'm purposely making the chapters short to update quicker. This has been working recently with Squall, so I'm trying it here. The chapters might get longer, but for the time being they're staying around 500 words.
Other Reviews: Thanks for the reviews so far, everyone! Let's see how many chapters I can pile out.
