AN: Thanks for the reviews people! There weren't that many but thank u to all of those that read. Sorry it took such a long time to update (for those who have been with me) but I was on vacation and then I had the longest 2 weeks of my life cause of 4 different assignments. But new chapter is up! I'll try not to take too long next time!
P.S: there's a glossary at the end. Srry, I 4got last time.
Kaoru-chan observed all of the excitement within the area and he wanted to go more than anything else! And it looked like Kikumaru-neko couldn't either!
"Nya nya-nya!" he exclaimed leaping in joy with two paws in the air!
Together they were about to make their way into the entrance of the fair, past the ticket booth when someone, who happened to the ticket collector, stopped both him and his cat.
"Fshuu" he hissed looking up at the much taller adult. It was an old woman in a pink coat and a badge that was looking down on him.
"Oi, what are you two doing here alone?" she asked them with a stern voice.
Startled, Kaoru-chan stepped back with Kikumaru-neko clinging to him exclaiming "nya!"
They really wanted to run away from this creepy looking senior but they heard voices calling out their names.
"Kaoru-chan! Kikumaru-neko!" they heard their parents and their obaa-san calling across the street.
"Nya nya!" Kikumaru called in desperation trying to get his humans to the rescue. Fortunately for him, he had caught their attention.
"Sa…there they are," said obaa-san, turning her gaze upon them.
The three adults walked over to their son and their pet who immediately ran behind them and covered in their presence.
"Na, Sadaharu-san! The fair is back in town! We should take the kids today since I'm sure it wont be here for too long," stated Shuuko.
"Hai hai, the fair is packing up and moving to the next city tomorrow so today is your last chance to come!" declared the ticket collector.
"Tomorrow! Well then we come today with the kids and Otou-san right darling? After all, I haven't been to one since I was a little girl so I would love to enjoy it with my family now." Shuuko said, addressing her husband.
"Well…" hesitated Sadaharu, tugging his collar. He didn't know how to tell her but he had decided that after furniture shopping he would come home and spend some manly time with Renji. As he was about to decline, he suddenly felt an evil aura rising from his wife. Noting her expression of murder he muttered, "100 chance that she will strangle me if I refuse," so he cleared his throat and said, "of course we can go my dear. It will be great to spend time with the family."
"Ne, that's my Sadaharu-san!" Shuuko exclaimed grabbing his arm and dragging him toward the exit, "we'll come back soon! Come along Kaoru-chan, Kikumaru. We'll bring Otou-san and your siblings too."
"Fshuu" said Kaoru -chan as he walked joyously beside his mother and his cat. They were going to the fair!
Ryoma and Momoko panted, waiting outside their house gate, finally completing the 50 laps that they had been ordered to do as they had found a way to destroy what their Ojii-san cherished most.
"Ne… Onii-chan… will Ojii-san let us in now? We haven't eaten lunch yet!" said Momoko, as usual, thinking about her appetite.
Reminded of food, Ryoma's stomach growled but he knew that if they tried to step into the house for another 2 hours, their ojii-san would definitely sentence them to another 50 laps. "Iyo…(Iyo-means no I think…) He probably won't let us in right now."
"Then what are we going to do? If we wait until okaa-san gets home, it will definitely be past dinner!" Momoko wailed.
Ryoma considered this too. Their mother usually did take an unusually long time to shop for something as trivial as furniture. So, how were they going to get in? But then an idea struck him! "Momoko," he announced, " we are going to sneak in!"
"He!! How are we going to do that?" exclaimed Momoko, stunned at the brilliance of her brother.
"We shall first check of the windows are open!" he replied as he walked towards the front windows of the house. They found that they were open but their ojii-san was sitting in the living room, his back facing them, talking to his plants. From what they heard, it sounded like their grandfather was trying to console his Marilyn.
Next, they tried the set of windows at the back of the house but unluckily they were locked. Sighing, they sank onto the grass, sad at their failure. Then suddenly, a light bulb flickered on top of Ryoma's head.
"Let's go through the chimney!" he said.
"What? The chimney? Ne… is that possible onii-chan?" inquired Momoko.
"Why not? We just have to climb the tree next to the house and pop through the chimney. And we won't get burned since we never use it anyway."
"But onii-chan! The fireplace is in the living room and ojii-chan is in there!" she said, suddenly disappointed that the plan was going downhill.
"It won't matter," her brother replied bravely, "his back is facing the fireplace and he won't even notice anything around him when he's talking to his precious plants."
"Ah! I get it! Your plans are so awesome onii-chan!" she said admiring her brother.
"Che… Mada Mada Dane." Ryoma said, walking to the tree. "Here, give me a boost. When I'm up, I'll pull you onto the tree too."
As Ryoma commanded, his sister helped him up the tree and in turn, he helped her up as well. After a struggling climb, both the children made it up to their roof, beside their chimney.
"Ok, I'll go first. After you hear me land, you jump in too." He said, slightly hesitating as he readied himself to jump into the deep hole.
As he was about to jump, they both heard the painfully familiar voice of their mother.
"RYOMA, MOMOKO! Get down here now!" Shuuko yelled.
One though rang through both of the children's minds. BUSTED!
Yes! Finished! Hope you guys like my writing and this new chapter! Hope I get more reviews this time! I'll try to update the next chapter sooner! And sorry about the cliffhanger!
