Me: *Banging my head against the wall*
Mai: Why are you banging your head against the wall?
Me: Because I accidently revealed something that I did not mean to do in the last chapter.
Naru: You didn't read it over before posting it did you?
Me: I did too!
Naru: How many times?
Me: …once
Naru: Since it's you, you should have done it at least three times.
Mai: Naru, you shouldn't be so mean to her!
Me: Mai's right, don't be mean to me! After all I'm the writer which means I can make you do all kinds of embarrassing things! XP
Naru & Mai: …
Me: Anyways, sorry for the really long wait. I just wasn't sure where I wanted to go exactly with the story and I admit I was being ever so lazy. Anyways, here you go and enjoy!
P.S. I changed the hint part before posting it so you can't look back to it if you didn't catch it (XP) & thank you, a certain person, for pointing that out. Also, the as much as it is killing me to not say something about the kids & explaining the ages, all I can say that some of you are so darn close while others are a bit far but not too far actually.

I turned to see my youngest daughter rubbing her eyes while standing in the doorway. I reached up my hand to my cheek to feel some sort of wetness. My eyes widen when I realized that the wetness were tears.
"Okaa-san?" Hisoka questioned. I turned and managed a small reassuring smile, "Nothing. Okaa-san just had a bad dream, that's all." I didn't scream his name, did I?
She nodded and went up to me to hold out her arms. I wiped away my tears before I lifted her up and hugged her. After a few minutes of hugging-comfort time, I pulled away and looked at my watch. Oh it's only 6:30am…HOLY BUNNY RABBITS! I stood up quickly while Hisoka shot me a questioning look still in my arms. I sat her down and told her, "Go and wake up your siblings and start getting ready. Tell them to hurry while I'm going to jump into the shower. The other bathroom should be down the hall somewhere. Breakfast will be ready in 25 minutes, ok?"
She nodded and hurried out of the room while I started to gather my things.
25 minutes later…
"Kimiko breakfast is ready!" I shouted as I sat down with a cup of coffee.
"Okaa-san, aren't you going to eat some food as well?" Noll asked as Hisoka began to eat. I shook my head and gave a reassuring smile. He hesitated a moment before beginning to eat as well. Money has gotten so tight that I've got to layoff some meals in order for Noll and the others have plenty to eat. Of course if I tell him that he'll refuse to eat and cause a big ruckus about getting a job. I sighed. Suddenly, a blur of brown hair and then another blur of food was seen before it was then replaced by Kimiko burping and an empty plate. I chuckled a bit and then playfully scolded, "Kimiko, I've told you many times not to eat so fast or else you'll end up choking."
"But I was hungry," she said innocently and we all laughed.
"So are you all excited about going to this new school?" I asked.
"Uh huh and isn't this school the same school you went to when you were our age?" Noll asked.
"Yep! I'm sure y'all will like it. They have good
Another time skip…
As soon as I saw that school, I knew it was haunted and the ghost that did was not a happy camper. I couldn't tell how dangerous it was but the shiver that I felt was good enough to worry. I squeezed Hisoka's and Kimiko's hand and entered the school. We walked into the office and there was a strict and old looking lady with round spectacles and white hair tied up into a tight bun. If she had not have been working at the secretary desk and met the principle, one would have thought she was the principle herself with her authoritative and demanding respect atmosphere.
"Um, excuse me but I'm Ms. Taniyama and I'm the mother of these kids who are the new transfer students," I told her. She looked at me and then down at my kids to only go back to me. She smiled, "Ah yes. Kira and Kimiko is it? Let me get their schedules." She shuffled through some neat stacks of papers before holding up two triumphantly. She handed them to their owners and turned to me, "I'll walk each of them to their classes."
"Um wait. I was actually hoping that you would Hisoka, the youngest one, to stay with her brother. I'm very tight on money and can't afford the daycare prices, so would you please allow her to? She's very quiet and won't disturb the other students, and in fact she's helped the teachers at the other school," I pleaded. Truth is we were struggling with money since my workplace, an insurance company, didn't have exactly the highest wages. Even with me working overtime, it didn't seem to help and I hated how my kids have to go through the same money struggles that I did once, long ago.
"Yes, there was a note about that when the other school sent your other kid's transcripts in," she frowned slightly while my heart dropped, "Well, I don't see any problem with it since all they said was compliments and explanations. I'll write a note to show to the teachers, so yes that's fine."
I let out a breath of relief and smiled, "Thank you. Oh, do you mind if I take them into the hallway for a brief moment? I would like to talk to them before they begin their new day here." She nodded and we went out. I sat down on my knees and hugged them all to me. I felt them hugged back before Noll spoke up, "Don't worry, I'll keep Hisoka close and out of danger."
"What danger?" Kimiko asked as she pulled back and looked to her brother. The rest of us then pulled apart as well.
"There is a spirit here, isn't there Okaa-san?" Noll said and they all looked to me. I sighed and nodded. They all could sense a spiritual presence and the girls can see them as well.
"Yes, Noll, there is a spirit here. Actually, quite a few, but this one is what I'm worried about. Its intentions are unclear and I have a bad feeling about it. Please be careful and if you see it or it tries to make contact with you, walk the other way or stop it. Then, come find each other alright?" I told them and looked them each in the eye. They nodded solemnly. The door to the office opened and the secretary walked out.
"I see that you all have finished and I have yet to introduce myself. You may call me Mrs. Shinuza," she said and shook my hand.
"What sport clubs do you have here, Mrs. Shinuza?" Kimiko asked excitedly.
"We have almost everything except golf. Do you like sports?" Mrs. Shinuza asked with a grandmotherly air about her.
"Like sports? I love sports!" Kimiko said enthusiastically. I smiled and said my good-byes before leaving. Although, just as I reached the door to leave for some reason an image of him popped up. I pushed that image and the pain away and walked out with a smile…a fake smile.
Me: Naru, what do you mean "since it's me"?
Naru: Never mind and Mai get me some tea!
Mai: Would it kill you to say please?
Me & Naru: Probably
Mai: Humph! Tea-aholic!
Me: And, Naru, this is where you say "But I'm your tea-aholic, Mai"
Mai: DarkRose121315! *blushes almost scarlet*
Me: That's my name so don't wear it out ;) and besides we all know that's what you wish he would say!
Naru: Could someone please explain what you all are mumbling about? Mai explain!
Mai: *now is scarlet* Umm…
Me: We weren't mumbling and I know you heard us loud and clear
Naru: And what proof do you have?
Me: For one I didn't hear you deny it and I saw you with a light blush and smirking
Mai: Naru was blushing? 0.o
Naru: I don't know what you all are talking about and shouldn't you be going to bed with that "killer headache" that you told that your new friend?
Me: *light blush* Shut up! Fine then good-night!
Mai: Don't forget to review ^_^ & Naru was blushing?
Me: Bye!
