Chapter 4 : Neighbour?!

"Kira…did the moving company send all of our things yet?" Asked Rika as she was busy helping Natsume with his clothes while Kira and Natsume were packing the toys which was the last of their belongings that was need to be brought with them.

"Yup, they did. This is the last of the stuff." Kira answered with a smile on his face. "Natsu…are these all of your toys?" He added as he felt something is missing from the bunch of toys that he had stuffed inside the box.

"Uh…um…I think…" Natsume answered hesitantly.

"Eh…did you lose them somewhere?" Asked Rika as she gently looked at Natsume and smile.

"Ummm…." Natsume started to become nervous and play with the hem of his shirt.

"Natsu…" Kira called him.

"Umm…Grandpa and Grandma said that they will miss me…so I left Kuma-chan with them." He finally answered.

Kira and Rika looked at each other and smile. Rika gently hugged her son close to her and petted his head gently. Kira was smiling broadly as he too petted Natsume's head gently. Natsume slowly smile as he was happy to be with both of his parents.

"Hihi…" He giggled softly.

"You are such a good boy, Natsume…" Said Kira.

"Because I love mama and papa!" Natsume shouted cheerfully.

"Yup…we love you too…" Said Rika.

"So…we need to finish up here, then we'll get a new one for you. How is that?" Asked Kira.

"Yay!" Shouted Natsume happily.

Kira was driving the car with Rika besides him, smiling while looking towards the road. Natsume had already fallen asleep at the back of the car, hugging his new teddy bear. It seems that Natsume had got his new teddy bear earlier than expected since Rika's parents had already prepared a new one for their beloved grandson. Natsume was happy and his eyes were sparkling with happiness as he saw the big teddy bear that was handed to him before leaving the Onodera mansion. Rika sighed at how pampered Natsume is by both her parents.

"Kira…"

"Umm?" Kira said as he turns into a corner and put a smile on his face as he continued on driving.

"How many days off that you got?" She asked.

"Umm…three days…why?" Kira asked.

"Hmmm…I will start working at Marukawa Publishing next week…and Natsume too will start his new semester in his new school next week as well and since…the cherry blossom is in full bloom…won't we be having our hanami before it ends?" Asked Rika with a smile and a light shade of red on her cheek.

"…" Kira was surprised and happy at the same time. "Yeah…we should…and we need to take a lot of pictures…since...it is our first event as a family." Kira said with a smile on his face.

"Umm…yes." Rika answered with a broad smile curved on her lips with her teary eyes.

"Hora…Rika…" Kira said as he wiped the tears lightly.

"Hn…mnh…mama…papa…are we there yet?" Asked Natsume groggily.

"Ahh…Natsume…we'll arrive soon…just a bit longer." Answered Kira.

"Ummmn…okay…" Natsume answered as he snuggled closely to his new teddy bear.

"He sure is tired…" Rika stated while looking fondly at Natsume.

"Yeah, he's been helping us packing the stuff."

"Well…his stuff." Rika added.

"Haha…yup…his stuff." Kira said and let out a small giggle.

The rest of the journey was in silent as Rika too had fallen asleep. Kira just chuckled seeing how his wife and son sleeping peacefully inside the car. Kira was reminiscing the moment when he and Rika went to register their marriage to weeks ago. Natsume was excited and happy as he was walking along with them, entering the government building. Rika too was nervous but she was excited and happy as well. That day was marvellous, clear sky, bright and cheerful day was tagging along with them as if everything around them were giving them their bless. Yes, it was a very joyous and happy moment for them indeed.

As the car slide on the road and finally stop as Kira had already parked the car at the parking lot. Rika had already awake and was blinking her eyes for a few times. Natsume was still asleep. Kira smiled as Rika was yawning cutely beside him, trying to keep herself awake. He let a small giggle out before smiling brightly towards his wife.

"We are here…at the apartment…"Kira said as he gently brushes Rika's cheek.

"Umnh…okay…let's go…" She said as she open the seat belt and so do Kira. "Want me to lift anything?" She asked as both of them were already out of the car.

"Hurm…we just have a luggage and a box anyway…just the luggage…you could just drag them." Kira answered with a smile curved on his face.

"Okay." Rika answered with a smile as she opened the backseat door, trying to wake Natsume up. "Natsu…Natsu…Natsume…we are here." She said gently while she slowly touched Natsume's face fondly.

"Umnh…mama…" Natsume slowly wake up while rubbing both his eyes and blinking for a few times looking so cute.

"Natsume…let's go…" Rika said while waiting for him outside of the car.

"O…okay…" Natsume slowly get out of the car, carrying his new big teddy bear and latched himself onto Rika.

Kira was already smiling at both of them while slowly getting the luggage out of the back of the car and waiting for Rika to drag it while he would be lifting the box filled with Natsume's toys and books. The three of them were walking happily towards the elevator. Upon arriving on their floor, Natsume was very excited and started to hum happily. Rika and Kira would just smile and hum along with him. As they arrive on front of their apartment, suddenly a cat came out from the room next door.

"Neko!" Shouted Natsume excitedly.

As Rika saw the cat, she suddenly has some kind of nostalgic kind of feeling towards it. Kira was already inside as he put the box on the shoe rack and went to take the luggage from Rika. Rika slowly went over to Natsume who was happily petting the cat dragging along his new teddy bear.

"Natsume…" Rika called for him.

Suddenly a voice was heard from inside the house calling for someone. Natsume was still playing with the cat when suddenly the door was wide open, revealing a man with a dark black hair, with such a long bang wearing a spectacle.

"Hora, Sorata…" He said, still oblivious that the cat was purring happily while being petted by Natsume.

The cat suddenly walks towards the man, which left Natsume to be looking straight at that man. That man seems to be staring at Natsume with such a wide eyes. Such familiarity. Those big green emerald eyes which he had inherited from Rika were staring straight at him. That man freeze in front of them. Rika was shocked as she too still standing there. He was just too surprised to be seeing Natsume there and more when he realised that a woman was standing there, resembles so much of his long lost first love. Ten years had gone and yes, he still searched for her where about. But, seeing a woman resembles him so much just made him lost all of his rationality and he went straight at her. Clutching her shoulder tightly, looking so desperate.

"You…what's your name?"

"Ah...what? Ouch…" Rika was too surprised to avoid him and she just too weak to free herself from his clutch.

"Mama!" Natsume shouted as he was worried about his mother being handled roughly.

"Ah…uh…pa-pardon me…" That man was snapped out of it and quickly releases her. "I…it just…you look so familiar…" That man added.

"Ah…we-well…I am Kouichi Rika….and this is my son, Natsume and…my.."

"I am her husband, Kouichi Kira." Kira added as he rushes out as he heard Natsume calling for Rika loudly.

"Ah…Takano…Masamune."
