This chapter is slightly shorter due to the next chapter. I hope you enjoy! Gill becomes a bit horny XP!!!
Gill's POV
I woke up with a jump. I breathed heavily and brushed some sweat away from my face. I looked around the room, it was still dark, I was still laying in bed, the sheets wrapped around my waist. I looked at the clock, it was only 2 in the morning. I groaned, I was going to punch Yuki for asking if Hikari and I have done it yet. Thanks to him I'm going to have dreams of sleeping with her for nights on end. My heart was beating fast, not because of the dream but because I had actually thought of doing that with Hikari. I rubbed my eyes to try and get the dream out of my head, nothing happened. I moaned and fell back in bed, staring at the ceiling. I had no clue how I was going to act when I would see Hikari in the morning. Cool air from the open window blew into the room making me feel calmer. I tried as hard as I could to think about other things while I tried to sleep. Finally it paid off and I went back to sleep.
Hikar's POV
I yawned and got up slowly, rubbing my eyes. Getting up was the hardest part of the day, of course I could sleep in but I'm not irresponsible. I got out of bed sluggishly and went into the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was sticking out in every direction, I wore a pink pajama top and bottoms that matched. One sleeve was hanging over my shoulder slightly and I had that "I'm not all the way up yet" look on my face. I yawned again and grabbed my toothbrush. After I brushed my teeth, I went into the shower, got out, and ran a comb through my hair. I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist and grabbed a random outfit. I looked in the mirror to adjust my pink top with a blue undershirt and my dark blue skirt with the shorts underneath. I walked into the kitchen and saw Chelsea sitting down and eating.
"Morning!" She grinned and waved.
I smiled "Morning."
I grabbed an orange and started to peel it.
"The animals are already out." Chelsea said.
"Thanks Chelsea, you're a big help!"
She giggled "Well, I want to be a farmer so...yeah."
We were quiet for a bit "Hey Hikari?"
"Yeah?"
"How come you don't have any pictures of your family. There are a few here and there of you and Yuki but none of your parents."
I turned around and managed a smile "I just...don't...they aren't really considered my parents."
"You mean your real parents passed away?"
"No..." I sighed "My mom and dad were great to me and Yuki, they always encouraged us to do new things we liked. One day my parents just stopped talking to each other, they got into fights that I was too young to understand. Finally my dad left and my mom got remarried weeks later. He treated me and Yuki horribly, making us do hard labor and even hurting us."
"That's horrible."
"Not even close...you haven't heard the worst...One day, Yuki ran away and I later figured out that he found our real dad. With me being by myself...this gave my stepfather...more ideas..."
"Like what?"
"Just...things that are considered illegal to do to a young girl...I tried telling my mom but she didn't listen. Finally I ran away."
We were both quiet "I'm sorry..." Chelsea muttered.
"For what?" I asked confused.
"Asking...I know it must stink thinking about that."
"It's fine, I don't get bugged by it anymore...although there are some..." I trailed off, then turned to her and smiled "Forget it, do you want to help me with the crops? I'm sure they are ready to be harvested."
"Um...sure..." She smiled then said "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'm good." My smile grew.
