A Year and Six Trillion Overnight Story; Chapter 2: Welcome to the Family Day!
"Here you go little one eat up!" she said as she placed a plate of food in front of the small boy who looked at the plate.
"I didn't know what you like so I made a little of everything. Some bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes and a delicious glass of orange juice" she smiled as the boy's eyes remained on the plate his mouth watering with drool.
"Is this all for me?" he asked nervously as the pink haired female looked at him before giving another warm smile.
"Of course eat as much as you like" after she said that the orange had boy began eating the food as the woman watched the food disappear, "Be careful little guy you'll choke if you if you eat to fast" she said as the boy swallowed another bite of food.
"I'm sorry" he said with a sad look on his face, "It's okay sweetie" she said patting his head, as she comforted him a knock on the door caught her attention.
"You finish eating I'll be right back" she said as the orange haired by nodded slowly and continued eating as the pink haired girl walked into the next room.
Going to the door she opened it and instantly her face lit up at the people at the door.
"MOM!" A chipper voice said as a young pink haired child latched onto the woman in a gripping hug.
"It's nice to see you two sweetheart" she said hugging her daughter back, "Come in everyone, I just made breakfast" she said as everyone walked into the house greeting her on the way in.
"Yeah breakfast!" the young pink haired girl cheered as she sprinted into the kitchen.
"Careful sweetie I have a guest in there" she said and the girl suddenly came to a halt, skidding on her heel. All eyes turned toward her as she still held her smile.
"A guest?" they said in unison as she smiled nodding her head, "You can meet him if you want, he's a little shy though so be nice" she said walking into the kitchen the others not far behind her. Peeked their heads in to see the mystery guest and found someone sitting at the table and looked shocked to find a small child at the table.
"Hey mom whose the kid?" one of the figures said as they walked into the kitchen. At the sound of the new voices the boy turned around and his eyes looked as though they would pop from his head.
"Ah he's so cute isn't he sis" the pink haired girl said to the green haired female behind her who looked down at the boy with a steely, yet calm green eye that seem to make the boy tremble. She gave an indifferent grunt as attention turned back to the orange haired boy who sat their trembling.
"He looks a little pale"
"I think you scared him sis"
"Don't worry little guy she scares a lot of people" she laughed before giving a low grunt, "Ow, sis what the hell" she whined after being hit over the head by the green haired female.
"Girls behave, your scaring him" Miki said as the girls lowered their head
"Sorry mom" they said lowering their heads.
"Good now sit down and I'll fix you all a plate" she said as the females nodded and before sitting down at the table with the young boy.
"You dears what brings you by" Miki said placing the plates in front of her daughters
"I brought them over" the girl with the pink hair said as her mother placed a plate of sweets in front of her, "Thank you" she said digging in to the treats.
"Yep, we were basically kidnapped by the little nut job" the black haired female said as a plate mostly consisting of meat was set in front of her and she began digging in like her sister.
"Well it's nice of you girls to visit" Miki said placing a cup of coffee in front of the green haired daughter "Thank you" she said bringing the cup to her lips.
"Would you like some more?" Miki asked the small boy seeing his plate was clean, "Um, no mam, thank you" he said quickly as Miki just smiled and nodded.
"Okay why don't you go upstairs and wait for me and I'll be upstairs to run you a bath" she said as the boys eyes widened before slowly returning to normal. Without a word and hopped down to the floor before heading back upstairs. Once he was gone she her smile seemed to faultier before turning to her daughters.
"Mom, where did you say you found him" the black haired daughter said as her mother sat down in the chair the boy once was.
"That's a bit difficult" she said looking at the three girls, "You see on my way back home I got caught in a nasty rain storm. Passing an alley I heard a noise and decided to investigate" she said with a sincere smile
"When I went to look I found a badly injured cat" she said and the pinked haired girl's eyes quickly widened.
"Ah, a poor kitty! No! Is it okay!?" she said worriedly as the mother continued to speak, "He's okay sweetheart. I brought him back home and fixed his wounds, but…"
"This morning I woke up and found the cat I brought home gone" she said as the girls looked at her with confusion in their eyes.
"That still doesn't explain about the cute boy" the pink haired girl said, "Mew don't talk with your mouth full and it exactly about the boy" the green haired girl said as Mew pouted.
"Think mom brought home a cat and woke up to a boy. It would stand to reason that the boy is the cat she brought home" she said and the girl mouth made an 'oh' shape, "I knew that Ekira I was just playing" she giggled as the others did an anime sweat drop at her.
"Yes well, that's the only thing I can think of, what about you Siren" she said looking over only to see the other with a piece of steak in her mouth.
"Pay attention!" she said as Siren only smiled playfully creating a tick in the others eye, "Okay Okay" she said swallowing her food.
"I agree with you, mom have you thought about taking the kids to the police" Siren asked as Miki shook her head, "I don't think that's a good idea, the child's scared at this point and needs to treated quite delicately" she said with a sigh, "I think it would be best to keep him here until he gets comfortable" she said as the girls nodded.
"Good I'm going to run him a bath, Mew could you please look through in the spare closet upstairs and look for some clothes" Miki asked as the Mew nodded happily, "Can do" she said before racing upstairs.
"Siren why don't you go get the guest room ready for our little guest" she smiled as the taller woman nodded before heading upstairs.
Now it was just Miki and Ekira in the kitchen. Ekira still sipping her coffee as Miki looked over toward her. Placing her drink to the table she turned toward her mother.
"Is there anything you need me to do?" she asked as her mother nodded
"Yes dear, if you could, can you please give the boy upstairs a check-up" she said as Ekira looked at her, face composed, "Is there something specifically I should be looking for" she asked as Miki kept her even smile, but her eyes knitted together in worry.
"When I first brought the kitten home, he had so many scares and bruises and pieces of fur where missing" she spoke her hands gripping her dress, "And I'm sure you noticed them too" she said and Ekira remained even faced as, but gave a slight nod.
"I'll give him a full check-up later" she said as her mother smiled happily, "Thank you sweet heart I', going to go run the little one a bath" she rose from the table and headed out of the kitchen, "I should probably think of a name to call him by" she said as she walked out of the kitchen leaving her daughter who resumed sipping her coffee.
After fixing a warm bubble bath, the room was mostly silent as she watched the boy, carefully going over the many scars that crossed over his back and other parts of his body. After the bath Miki had put him on some clothes Mew had found for him. She chose a simple red top with a pair of brown cargo pants.
"This is where you'll be staying" she said opening the door to a large room that looked as though it was fit for a king. It was beautifully decorated and had a large bed in the middle of the room that looked as though it could fit a whole family. The boy gasped as he was led further into the room, "From the look on your face I see you like it. This is one of the quest rooms, you just get comfortable and tomorrow we we'll get you some new clothes" she said and the boy just looked at her, disbelief in his eyes.
"I let you relax just call if you need anything" she said before leaving the boy in the room. The orange haired boy looked around the room in disbelief, it was the biggest on he had ever been in or seen for that matter. It couldn't be his, maybe he was dead, maybe he had died and this was the afterlife. A somber look found its way to his eyes, walking to the bed and climbed on top before falling back sighing at the soft feel of the bed, the smooth sheets rubbing against his skin, it had to be a dream.
As he lay there he began to drift off, his eyes beginning to close, when suddenly a knock woke him from his drifting. The door suddenly opened, revealing the green haired girl he had met earlier that day. She walked inside, closing the door, before walking until she stood in front of the bed and the boy.
