STORY:START!

Chapter 2: The questions.

A creak could be heard as the door opens. A woman walks in and flops on her bed; body aching, throat sore, all in all in a huge mess. She sighed and carefully turns on her back. Moon light shone through the curtain of her window giving her a little light to the darkened room. She let out another sigh. Her icy blue eyes stares at nothing but the empty ceiling and soon found herself daydreaming.

"Be careful alright?" I'll try.

"Don't do anything reckless" I'll try not to…

Another memory came up; the pain, the shouts, the cold. Her eyes opened abruptly as she gasps. She couldn't help but curl herself in a ball. She remembers gentle emerald, beautiful smile, that lavender scent that kept her calm. She burst to tears and sobs wrecks her whole body.

"Take care of yourself alright?" I'm sorry…

I'm sorry…

Bright… Too Bright…

I opened my eyes only to be greeted by a blond hair. Without really realizing it, I unconsciously mutter out a name. A name of the person who I've missed dearly.

"Elicchi"

Well at least that's who I thought, the figure turns and I saw that I clearly wasn't the said person. The person in front of me is only a child; my child. "Mama? Good morning" She greeted me while rubbing her teal eyes. "Good morning sweetie." I pat her head while telling her to get ready for the day.

We donned in our clothes; I wore light brown cardigan with light blue skirt and my little girl wore a blue sweater with checkered skirt, her light blond hair flowing behind her (Sorry, I suck at describing clothes XP). Once we finished we went down to meet the others.

By the time I was halfway down the stairs, my little girl was already beside Honoka and Rin; playing with them. I saw Umi-chan overseeing them with Kotori-chan by her side. Nicocchi and Hanayo-chan probably making breakfast and Maki-chan sit on the sofa overseeing the kitchen while playing her phone.

Nicocchi probably forbid Maki-chan to help them in the kitchen. I giggled when the thought crosses my mind. I remembered last night when they first met my daughter.

[Flashback]

It was right after everyone calmed down; we were eating some dinner when Nicocchi asks the question. "Ne, Nozomi. The kid with you…" The rest –minus Nicocchi, myself and my daughter- looks at the girl beside me. I smiled and looked to my little girl.

"Non-chan, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"Un, my name is Noemi. Noemi Tojo. Mama just likes to call me 'Non-chan' though." (For the sake of so people won't get confused, I'll be addressing her as Noemi. But Nozomi will call her 'Non-chan' when she talks) I pat her head as reward for being a good girl. The rest introduce themselves to Non-chan and Non-chan seems to like the attention she got.

After playing with the rest, she eventually got tired. Maki-chan offers us a room to stay which leads to Honoka-chan to suddenly shout of having a sleepover. Seeing that it is already late, all of us accept. I tucked in Non-chan in our shared room. When I went back down, the others sit on the living room. As soon as I sat down, Nicocchi asks again.

"Who is the father?" I calmly answer her. "I don't know."

At this everyone was confused. "Wh-what do you mean? Did-Were you…" This time Maki-chan asks. I shake my head. "No-no. It's nothing that bad nor was it something grand." Everyone sighs in relief.

I looked down remembering the time when I found Non-chan. She was the light in my darkness. I smiled a little at the thought.

"I was walking around the streets of a town after doing an errand. It was raining and so I rushed trying not to get soaked when I heard a commotion in an alley way. I stopped under one of the shops roof because I wasn't sure whether I really heard it or whether it was just my imagination. Then I saw this man went out of the alley way that I mentioned. Once I was sure he was gone, I move in and saw a little girl. Hurt and injured. Worried, I rushed to the nearest clinic and I was relieved that the girl was mostly fine aside from some scars and malnourished. So I took her in when she woke up. It took some time for her to trust me completely. Soon I learn that she was an orphan. She ran away from an orphanage and lived in the streets. It was then that I decided to take her in completely, so offered to be her new mother."

Once I finished telling them the story all of them nearly cried. "I see." Umi-chan nods and smiled gently. "It must've been hard for you. Taking care of her by yourself." I just smiled. "I've been through worse."

"Nozomi-chan that's amazing. *Sobs* Umi-chan, let's have a kid." Kotori-chan turns to Umi-chan. At that Umi-chan then immediately turned red and spluttering. "Wh-wh-wha! Kotori!" The rest of us giggles and Umi-chan looked like she was going too faint.

[Flashback ends]

I peek into the kitchen and there Nicocchi and Hanayo-chan are working together making breakfast. I ask them if they needed any help but Nicocchi just wave me away saying that they are nearly done.

So I went back to the living room, Non-chan was now sitting in between Umi-chan and Kotori-chan looking what look like an album. Honoka-chan and Rin-chan are behind them commenting on every picture. I took a seat beside Maki-chan, though it seems that she didn't realize that I was there. She is staring at her phone intensely while her thumbs are rapidly gliding across the screen.

I took a peek at what she is playing and can't help to be amused at the familiar game. I watch as she pressed on every single note perfectly considering that the notes glide down the screen at a very fast rate. Sometimes I wonder if her fast reaction has to anything to do with her piano practice, she catches all the notes without even missing the beat. After a few minutes, Maki-chan stops and closes her phone. Though when she turned she jumped when she finally realizes that I was beside her.

"You're still playing it?" Trying to be nonchalant about it, she just nods although her bright blush gives away how she really felt. "It's the songs, it brings back memories." I smiled gently, knowing how nostalgic it was; I felt the same way even though I don't play them anymore. Deciding to change the topic, I asked on how is her life so far. It seems that working in the hospital is really tiring, I'm amazed that Maki-chan could handle it, But then again she do have her greatest support –no matter how many times she tries to deny it- *giggles*

Soon Nicocchi called us for breakfast. This really take me back during those training camp days with μ's. Everyone sits with someone at their side. Nicocchi sits at the head of the table with Maki-chan, Rin-chan, Hanayo-chan on her right and Honoka-chan, Umi-chan, Kotori-chan on her left. I sit on the other end with Non-chan on my right. After we thanked for the meal, all of us started to eat.

"As always the food is great Nico-chan!"

"Of course! It's the great Nico-nii's cooking"

"Right."

"Nani? Is there something you want to say? Ma-Ki-chan?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"w-why you!"

And there they go again with their fighting. It amazes me none the less with those two. Mou. "Alright, enough fighting you two~ Save the flirting when you are alone~" At that the two of them denies it and turn their faces away from each other.

The rest of us laugh at their antics. Then I realize that Non-chan was quiet. I looked at my little girl and saw that she has something on her mind, a look that is almost so familiar. I shook my head trying not to go to that thought.

I should ask later.

Once breakfast finished and the plates are cleaned; all of us decided that it is time for some of us to go. The three childhood trio went first, Honoka-chan needs to go help at the shop, Umi-chan needs to go to the dojo to train her students and Kotori-chan went with Umi-chan. Next to go was Hanayo-chan and Rin-chan; Hanayo-chan went together with Rin-chan since Rin-chan have to go to Otonoki to train her students for an upcoming match. I soon excuse myself and my daughter; we had decided to go out for the day before we went home. We waved Maki and Nicocchi goodbye and a promise to visit next time.

We went to the park and went for a stroll. The sky is bright blue and some kids are playing around. After that we went to the ice-cream parlor. Non-chan has some chocolate ice-cream and I decided to have some strawberry ice-cream instead. I noticed that Non-chan still has something on her mind. I decided to ask her.

"Non-chan? Are you alright?" I looked at her; worried. She just nods before opening her mouth.

"Mama…" I wait patiently for her to finish, knowing that something must have bothered her greatly. She hesitates at first but after some thought she looked determined.

"Mama, who is that lady in the picture? The one that nearly have the same hair as me. Kotori-nee-san called her 'Eli-chan'." I froze when I heard my daughter say her name. The name that always lingers in my thought, the name of my beloved fox.

Eli Ayase.

Elicchi.

A/N: Aaaand that's it for the chapter 2. I hope you all enjoy that. This chapter is just to explain about Nozomi's daughter.

And I'm sure you all noticed the small 3rd person POV above right? That happens only for the first chapter and this chapter but it plays a VERY important role for this story. And about our dear missing Elichika; it will all be revealed soon (as soon as I could that is).

I hope you all enjoy reading this chapter. Sorry if there is any misspells and probably a little out of character Nozomi.

Next chapter: Nozomi will tell her story of her dear Elichika. How will it go?

To end this, THANK YOU FOR READING~ XD Reviews are appreciated. Bye-Bye~
