DISCLAIMER: I Don't own any of the Blood+ Characters or related stuffs. So There.
AUTHORS NOTE: Okay, So I'm putting this up because I looked at the first chapter, and realized it is probably the shortest fanfic chapter EVER. So Here…. I'm trying to make it longer. ENJOY!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Saya!" Kai said in astonishment. He was standing in the kitchen of the Omoro and was making breakfast for everyone, although no one in the household was up yet except for him.
"Kai!" Saya ran over to her brother and hugged him tightly. She was happy to be standing in the familiar environment, although she had been sleeping, she had missed everything about this place. Home. That's what this was, it was home.
"What are you doing here Saya?" Kai asked her after getting over his minor shock.
"What do you mean? It's been 30 years hasn't it?" Saya was confused, she had woken up naturally hadn't she? So then why hadn't Kai expected her at any day? "How many years has it been?"
"Saya," Obviously she hadn't realized that it had only been 13 years, how had she woken up so early? "It's been 13 years Saya."
"If It's only been 13 years, then how'd I wake up so naturally, and so early?" She knew he couldn't answer these questions, they were just on her mind.
"I don't know, Saya."
Saya paused for a moment. She didn't feel tired in the slightest. Why was this? She was so confused, but she wasn't going to just say, 'It's too early, so I'll just go back to sleep.' No. She was going to see if this had any affect as to how long she could stay awake for, maybe she'll get to take those 17 years she didn't sleep, and be able to live normally for around 20 years! Maybe she'll get lucky, it could happen.
"How are my, our nieces? How old are you? What's new? How is everybody? What've I missed?" Saya's head flooded with questions. She wanted to know everything, what's the same, what's changed.
Kai laughed. He thought about what he was going to say before replying. "Well a lot's changed, a lot's the same. I'll tell you what you want to know, if you help me make breakfast for everyone," Saya's stomach growled. Kai laughed. "Including you!" he added.
Kai and Saya made breakfast, and they set 6 places.
"Who's coming to breakfast Kai? We set 6 places. I don't remember that many people living here."
"Well, it's you, our nieces, Hitomi and Suki-"
"What beautiful names!" Saya interrupted. "Oh, I'm sorry Kai continue."
"Mao, Julia and David's son Aki, and me." Kai finished.
"Jahana-chan?"
"I'll explain later."
"Aki? He must be 13 now right? Does he live here?" Saya was so curious about Julia and David-san's son.
"Aki is 13 yes, and he doesn't live here. He just normally stops in here for breakfast in the mornings, and to talk to Suki."
"What about Hitomi?"
"Well-"
"Morning Kai!" Two girls showed up in the archway that leads to the stairs. They both had pitch black hair, but on had it shoulder length, and the other had it long and pulled back into a pony-tail. The one with shoulder length hair had hazel-brown eyes, while the other one had shining blue eyes. They both appeared with tons of unending energy.
"Good morning girls" Kai smiled and gave each of them a hug.
"Kai, who's that?" The girl with the longer hair said pointing at Saya, and Saya assumed that these must be her nieces.
"Girls. This is your blood aunt, Saya." Kai turned to Saya. "Saya, these are your nieces. Hitomi," He gestured to the one who had longer hair, "and Suki." He gestured to the girl with shorter hair.
So these are my nieces. Saya didn't think that she'd actually meet them so soon. They had grown up so well. They looked beautiful.
"That's Saya?" The one named Suki asked.
"Suki!" Hitomi giggled at her sister's rudeness. "That was rude!"
"I'm sorry Saya." Suki bowed her head. Then she looked up at her aunt. " I just thought, well I pictured you to look older. I mean" She blushed. "I just didn't think you'd look like you're only a little older than us."
They all laughed. They're cute, Saya thought.
"Well I'm actually," Saya paused to count in her head. "135 years old." Saya proclaimed, as she watched the jaws of the two females drop. "But my body stop growing when I was 16. And so, I will forever have the appearance of a 16 year old."
The bell over the door, to alert that there were customers, rang. In walked a young boy, with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes.
"Good morning everyone. There better still be breakfast left!" The boy proclaimed walking into the Omoro.
"Good morning Aki. We haven't started eating yet don't worry."
"Who's that?" Aki said pointing towards Saya. How man times is this going to happen today? Saya wondered.
"This is-"
"I'm Saya. Hitomi and Suki's aunt." She said warmly facing Aki.
"Oh, hi Saya. I'm Aki." He said. "You look a lot like Suki and Hitomi. It's obvious you're related."
Kai rolled his eyes. "Aki is determined to convince everyone that he knows everything." He told Saya.
"Yeah well he's 13 isn't he? That's how most 13 year olds are."
There was a short silence that last about 30 seconds. They heard the gurgle of hungry stomachs and the three woman yelled "LET"S EAT!" together in unison.
There was a small and short fit of laughter but it ended and everyone sat down to eat.
"Where's Mao, Kai?" Aki asked.
"She's probably hasn't gotten back from wherever it was her and Okamura were at." He said with a shrug.
"Oh I thought they would be back by now!" Hitomi exclaimed.
"Well they aren't. Don't worry, they'll be back today." Kai paused and looked at Hitomi. "Why are you so concerned? Rin didn't go with them-"
"I know that!" Hitomi blushed. "I just thought he might miss Mao is all-"
Saya had no clue whatsoever about what anyone was talking about. She didn't want to ask Kai in front of them all, but her good excuse not to just walked through the door.
"Sorry we're late Kai, the train got held up because they got a tip that someone had fake tickets and they stopped to check all the passengers. Okamura isn't staying for breakfast he-" Mao stopped mid-sentence before screaming "Saya!" and she ran up and gave Saya an almost unbearable hug.
"Mao."
"What are you doing up?!" Mao's look got cross. "You're supposed to sleep for 30 years not 13!"
Saya didn't expect anything less than this from Mao, but it still started her.
"I have no clue Mao. I just woke up." She paused and then added "Well sit down and eat with us Mao, it's better than when I went to sleep-"
"13 years does give a guy time to improve his cooking Saya." Kai interrupted.
Saya laughed slightly and continued to eat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai had finished the dishes and Mao went home. Hitomi, Suki, and Aki had all gone out somewhere to hang around. Saya and Kai were upstairs in what used to be Saya's room, but now belonged to the twins.
"Kai," Saya started. "What exactly have I missed?"
Kai sighed and was trying to recap everything that happened since Saya had slept. "Where do you want me to start?"
Saya thought, what is she most interested in? "I guess start with Hitomi and Suki."
"Okay. Well to start off, I adopted them as my own daughters." Kai went into a long drawn out talk about the important things for each of the girls individually, by every year, and he went into their interests and things that they like to do.
"Wow." Saya paused a moment to take in everything she had just heard. "So then next I guess, how're David and Julia?"
"They're doing fine. They've mostly been raising Aki, but I did a little of that too." Kai smiled proudly. "Julia decided she wanted to be the nurse at the school where Suki, Hitomi, Aki, and Rin all go to, but she's still doing research at home. David took an early retirement so he could be at home, of course he's not one to sit around all day so he always finds something to do."
"That's nice." Saya was just glad that they were doing well. When the thought struck her. "Who's Rin?"
"Ah. I thought you'd ask about him eventually. Rin, is Mao and Atashi Okamura's son. He just turned 12. Hitomi seems to have a crush on him, but she won't admit it."
"Wow. I knew they spent time together but I didn't think that they would get married."
"Yeah none of us did either. He was always completely annoyed with her."
There was a pause and Saya stood up, (they were sitting on the lower bunk bed), and started to head for the door.
"Oh Saya. There's something else." Kai got up and headed for the door, grabbing Saya's hand, and pulling her downstairs.
"What is it Kai?"
"Hold on." Kai dropped Saya's hand and started rummaging through some boxes for something, Saya looked at him curiously. "Ah ha!"
"A picture?" Saya wondered.
"This is the picture album we started when you went to sleep. I have one, Julia and David have one, and Mao has one. We didn't want you to miss out on everything. You don't have to look at it now, but I wanted to show you one picture in particular."
Kai flipped to a page near the end of the book.
"About three years ago, I took the twins to go see the family grave, but when we got to your tomb, we found this." Kai pointed to a picture of a rose, sitting on the floor, with a torn piece of, something, that had 'Saya' written on it.
"What is my name written on?" Saya's heart began to race. It wasn't paper, what was it that her name was written on?
"It was a on a piece of bandage." Kai turned the page, and Saya saw a piece of very familiar bandage with her name written on it.
"… Hagi …" Saya whispered with her eyes wide.
"We think so." Kai said. "Saya, you're awake now. He'll come find you anytime now, probably in the next few of days."
Saya couldn't believe it. Was Hagi really alive? Was he really going to come for her? What would happen then? She couldn't believe it.
Kai stood up. "How about a hair cut?"
Saya looked up at him and got a more pleasant expression on her face. She nodded and walked toward the door. She turned toward Kai. "Just my bangs. I want to have longer hair for a little while." She grabbed a chair and walked out the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, Thank you for you're kind words. They're encouraging.
Second, There is some fact about the rose given to Saya by Hagi. If you go to http://en. look at the last date on the TIMELINE, will say something about the rose.
Third, I did do a little research on the names for the new characters. I felt like putting some effort into it.
Fourth, YAY! It's longer. I couldn't stop typing this time!
Lastly, sadly school will be starting this week, so I might not get as much time to update after a little bit. Don't worry though. I'll MAKE time to write, I don't know if I'll update, but It will be written so you might get more at once. I'm trying to write a book, but my friend is supposed to do chapter two on that, and I haven't seen, or heard of it in a month so I don't know if that's going to get in the way much or not.
Signed,
