Sorry if my first chapter were too short, honestly I did it on purpose because I wanted to see if I'll get enough reviews…coz if not , continuing this fic will be pointless. But it seems that I was wrong, because you have given me a reason to go on with it and I got at least more than five reviews on the first chapter. Which is not bad after all. Thank you so much everyone. Before I forgot most of this story is still a part of Flash back.

Chapter 2

First Love

"Tomi…are you scared again?" The boy asked concerned and gently strokes her back in order to comfort her. Hitomi only nod and buried her face in his chest.

They both remain like this for a while now until Hitomi stops from crying and fell asleep, it wasn't raining any more. Van smiled at the sight of his younger sister as she snuggles to him. He carefully lifted her up and carries her towards her bed, but before he has the chance to leave he felt her gently tug his pajama. Her one eye slightly open and she smiles at him.

"Hey…big brother…please don't leave me….stay here." She pleaded and yawned; Van smiled and lay beside her, he watches her sleeps, she looks like an angel in her slumber head rested on her one arm while her other hand rested on the soft bed. She seems so frail and cute he thought then cautiously Van touches her cheeks while his thumb gently stroke her red lips.

"Tomi…I'll…I'll protect you no matter what…" Van promise to himself his gaze never left her sleeping form. It seems that the emerald eyed girl understands him because even though she hadn't heard what he have said a smile suddenly appears from her delicate lips, which made his hearth melt and his cheeks begun to flush. He watched her sleep for quite a while now until his eyes got tired and demand that he should take some sleep as well.

Ten years after

"Hitomi, time to wake up or you'll be late for school!" Mrs. Fanel called

"Hai, kaasan. I'll be right there!" she said as she grabs her books and bags then rushes downstairs. When she enters the kitchen Mrs. Fanel was already preparing breakfast for them while Mr. Fanel sat at the head chair reading a news paper and Van silently eating his breakfast.

"Ohayo, everyone." She cheerfully said and gave her parents a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning dear." Said Mrs. Fanel.

"Where's Onisan Folken?"

"He left early this morning because he has a very important thing to do at school."

"Oh…"

"Hey, aren't you supposed to give your older brother a kiss too?" Van teased. Hitomi only stuck out her tongue in a childish manner and sat as well facing the raven haired boy.

"Is that a proper way a lady should act towards his older brother?" Van said while he furrows his eyebrow.

"Nope! But that's what you get for not waking me up early." She said while she eats a mouthful of pancakes. The raven boy chuckles as he went towards her and stole a kiss to her cheeks.

"Hey! That's not fair!"

"Say's who!" Van makes fun of and after that he grabs his bag and run. "Bye Tomi, its 7:00 already" he called back and stuck out his tongue before he really left.

"Nani! Wait for me! Bye Mom, bye Dad."

"Honey, isn't it great? Our children were getting along well?" said Mrs. Fanel while she drinks her tea.

"Uhmm" said Mr. Fanel his attention still locks at the news paper he was reading.

Van was running on the way to the bus station he was laughing his head off while Hitomi runs after him.

"Catch me if you can!" Van mocked and continues to run.

"You bet! I will!" Hitomi retorted that she was so annoyed to him.

The sunny brown haired girl was fast enough and catches up with him right away, and then she grabs his back pack in order for him to slow down. The two were laughing and all of a sudden Van takes hold of Hitomi and messed up her hair like a little girl.

"Vanee!" said Hitomi while she giggles.

"Aha! You called me Vanee, you know that I hated that name. Well…here's more."

"No, stop! Ha ha ha…pl…please…" said Hitomi as she tries to smother her laughter.

Even when they're inside the bus the two were still teasing each other and having so much fun, because of this they already getting too much attention from the other passengers but Hitomi and Van just ignored it. All of sudden the raven haired boy stops from laughing then became serious as he gaze into her emerald eyes.

"Why? What's wrong?" said Hitomi and worry can be seen on her beautiful face. "Did I did something wrong?" Van only shook his head then smiles at her.

"Just wake me up when we reach our school, okay?" said Van and rested his head on her shoulder.

"K." she answers back as she touched his cheek and rested her head also on top of his. "I wish we could be like this forever…" Hitomi thought while she gazes outside the window.
