Miaka started to calm down when Chichiri handed over some tea to sooth her. "Thanks for the tea Chichiri, you really shouldn't have" she started to smile, but Chichiri wasn't to fond of that. " What do you mean I shouldn't have? I had to, there's no way I was just going to leave you like that! You shouldn't act like that people worry about you more if you say that stuff in a time like this." Miaka lowered her head like she did something wrong and set down her tea to wrap the blanket around her.

It was silent for a while and very quiet. It also started to rain a soft shower. Miaka got up with her hands still holding up the blanket around her. She stepped towards to the window and sat with the face leaned of the glass. She was looking at the drops of rain like the tears on her face like that day. It was so long ago. Chichiri was feeling a lot of tension and he couldn't take it he started to just walk around and try to make a conversation, but with what?

He looked around and her house was…like a house. You can't really say anything about it. "Chichiri, if you'd like you may leave. We'll do this again later, I mean now were just sitting here doing nothing." Chichiri really knew he should go ,but he didn't move a budge. " What? After what happen? I'm going to stay here for a while until at least someone gets home ok?" Miaka was a little angry :: "Grrr, just like before even when I say everything is fine he won't leave and he'll treat me like a child."::

Miaka didn't want to be rude so she kept her mouth shut for a while and agin silence. Chichiri looked around and found on the top of her fireplace all these pictures. Chichiri never saw her family so it'd be perfect to ask about it. " Hey, Miaka who is this person on the photograph.?" Miaka looked and came to the fireplace. Her tears were gone and her eyes cleared up. " That's my brother Keisuke and my- I mean his friend Tetsuya there were at the same high school as us back then. They're going to college soon."

" Oh, and this is that Yui?" Miaka laughed a little. " No that's my mom. People say they looked alike just like her mom looks like me sorta. People think that we might have been switched at birth." Chichiri smiled as he knew they were started to talk now. "And this guy, Wow he looks like you." Miaka started laughing and smiling. Closing her eyes and retreating back to the window. " That one…is my dad." Chichiri looked at her or at least tried to he knew he should of asked but… " Well where is he?" Miaka looked deeper into the window and the tear of rain trickling down the window glass. " He's onto a better place then life here"

Chichiri looked at her with a stern face. Miaka rose from the window sill again, yet still had her face on the window. " It has been…3 years now that my dad has been away." I remember it in my old house. It was at Osaka in that time. I was…how old? Yes, 12. I been raised there, but went to Tokyo at 3. Heh it was really weird going back and forth, but we were going to Osaka at the time for the summer to visit my relatives. I remember it clearly (FLASH BACK)

Little girl: Over the river and through the woods

To grandmother's house we go!

Umm, Over the river and through the woods

To grandmother's house we go!

Little boy: Will you knock that off?! You don't even know all of the words to the song! (Throws a pillow at the little girl) That'll shut you up!

Little Girl: .mmmmmm MOM! Keisuke threw a pillow at me again!

Little boy: Did not!

Mom: You two need to settle down you two we almost there!

Keisuke: Yes ma'am

Mom: And that goes for you too Miaka

Miaka: yes ma'am

I remember when we were driving out of the Osaka Airport and rented a car to go to my grandma's house to sleep over there Since we didn't want to drive a long way to our house. I loved the smell of the wintergreen trees around our house going to the backyard and hike around. This was going to be our last visit since my parents were going to sell the house to buy a real house for Tokyo. I knew I'd miss it, but I never knew that something will be missing from us.

Dad: (inhales) Ahh. Here we are. Good old Osaka! I can't believe this will be our last time we'll visit here, with our house that is.

Mom: Ohh, Jake (dad) you know we won't be using the old house a lot and ever since that new job of ours in Tokyo I think we should get a house to settle down in when we get older.

Dad: Yeah I guess Linda (kisses her) If only this wasn't our last time in the old rust bucket.

Mom: Hey, that's OUR rust bucket your talking about.

Dad: But not for long…..

Miaka: Daddy daddy! Look at what we found

Dad: What's this? An old book ,looks interesting I guess it wouldn't hurt to read it.

Miaka: Can I read it too?

Dad: (Kneels) Miaka, not only could you read it, but we can read it together.

Keisuke: (snatches the book from Miaka's hands) Not if I can help it! I'm reading it first!

Miaka: Keisuke! Come back here that's not for you! (Chases Keisuke)

Dad: Hmm I guess no matter where we move we will still have the fun to ourselves

Mom: Uh huh

A few weeks after that we had the most fun ever going to the lake and swimming at grandma's house we had one more month till we sell the house and went back home. It was odd because ever since then a lot of stuff happened.
