Chapter 10
The shy brunet sat outside of an old brown door with a straw basket resting on his lap. He was dressed in a pair of black shorts with a long-sleeved white button-up shirt underneath a matching black vest.
The boy hummed to himself as he fidgeted with the material. "Good job, Kai." Giggled a soft voice, making said boy look up and smile shyly at the white-haired woman standing over him. "T-Thanks, Haku."
Haku smiled down at him before turning as a familiar green-haired girl walked up to them, holding a basket filled with colorful fruits. The girl gently placed the basket down next to the two and smiled happily. "I sold a few oranges." She grinned, showing off the green paper to them.
"… Maybe we should get jobs…" Haku mused lightly as she glanced at the two before turning to look up. The trio was standing in the middle of a newly built village. The village itself circled around a large and beautiful white stone castle.
"Jobs?" Miku repeated in puzzlement as she pulled out a peach and forced it into Kai's hands as if to say 'eat'.
Kai glanced up at the older woman and smiled thankfully before biting into the fruit.
Haku wiped away the sweat that clung to her forehead and nodded. "Well, a job is when you work for someone and get paid for it. Or sometimes you work for someone for a home and food, a good life." She explained softly. Miku blinked in thought before grinning at the paler woman. "So we're getting jobs?"
"Hai." Haku nodded and picked out a large apple to munch on. Kai licked at the juice that trailed from his mark on the peach before glancing up. "How?" He asked the almighty question as his cheeks flushed a light pink when Haku ran her fingers through his hair in a motherly fashion.
"Back at the central post is a whole bunch of job applications." The white one explained as she pointed down a street full of busy villagers.
Kai blinked and stared down the street before looking back at the two girls. "So we're going to go look now…?" He asked softly before smiling shyly when Miku hugged him. "Don't worry! We'll get jobs together. Right, Haku?"
Haku nodded and gently patted the boy on the head before turning and stretching her arms out. "Well then, come on."
Kai yawned lightly and jumped up to his feet, scanning over his two female companions. Haku had on a long black dress with white puffy sleeves along with a matching white fluffy apron. Her long white hair was pulled up into a ponytail with a white bow. Miku had on a similar outfit. She was dressed in a brown leather shirt with a black skirt that stopped just under her knees along with a white apron. Her long green hair was pulled up into twin pleated ponytails and shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.
Haku slowly wiped her hands on her apron and watched the younger children play before turning to look at the busy streets. "I wonder what kind of job I'll get." Miku asked aloud as she and Kai followed Haku up the street.
Kai tilted his head. "Hmm… You look like a nanny… or maybe a nurse?" Kai giggled as Miku grinned and posed mock-sexily, making the brunet giggle some more before she turned to look over the brunet. "Hmm… Well, you look like a baker." She smiled as the boy scrunched up his nose and made a funny face. "M-Me? A baker?" He asked incredulously as Haku began to laugh. "Yeah! Why not? You make great food after all."
Kai huffed and crossed his arms. "Only because that baker in the other village taught me." He mumbled with a faint blush from the compliment as Miku tilted her head in thought. "Oh yeah… What was his name again? He made great desserts."
"Kyo. His name was Kyo the Cake Wizard!" Haku giggled over her shoulder. "Maybe when we get more money we can go visit him?"
Kai looked up and beamed. "Yeah! That would be great! …Hey, Haku? What type of job do you think you'll get?"
"Mm… Don't know. It all depends on what's there so don't get your hopes too high up." She smiled at them as they turned a corner and walked into the town square. It was essentially a large space with a drinking well set in the middle and surrounded by wooden poles. Various different colored papers were attached to these wooden poles.
Leaning forward, Kai scanned a red colored paper and giggled. "Want to be a chimney sweeper?" He asked Miku, causing her to make a face and huff. "No. Thanks." She said bluntly, crossing her arms and making the other two laugh.
Haku looked away from the two giggling teens and looked over at the other colored papers. "Hmm… Cleaner, shoe shiner, seamstress, farmer…" She mumbled softly.
"Ah. Haku." Kai piped up, making said girl look at him. "Hm?" She looked at him from over her shoulder and noticed that the brunet was holding a piece of paper. Kai looked at the paper with his nose scrunched up as Miku leaned over his shoulder to take a peek as well.
"What is it?" Haku asked, walking up to them as Kai sighed forlornly. "Why can't I read?" He muttered to himself as he reposted the paper to the wooden pole. Haku gently patted the boy on the shoulder. "It's not your fault. You lost your memories." She shrugged before taking the paper and raising a brow. "You must've been attracted to this because of the fancy writing and the brightly color." She smiled at the younger boy as she waved the golden colored paper at him. Kai smiled sheepishly and shrugged, looking down. "Still…"
Miku hugged Kai around the shoulders. "Hey… Don't worry about it. You're getting better." She said and the brunet thought back to all of the nights spent with Haku and a pink-haired woman who lived a few houses down the street. Both women had been helping him learn how to read and write again.
Haku looked down at the paper again before her eyes lit up and a smile adorned her lips. "Wow! Good catch, Kai! It's a job application for three! Let's see… Maid needed-" Haku began as Miku snapped her head up in excitement. "Oooh~ Can I be the maid?" She asked with pleading eyes. Haku laughed softly. "We'll see…" She smiled before continuing again. "Maid needed, cook needed, garden helper needed. If interested, then please hurry to apply because these positions won't stay open for long."
Kai tilted his head and shyly looked at them. "Are we going to try to apply then?"
"Yeah. If you don't mind applying for the cook, Miku can apply for the maid and I'll apply for the garden helper. This way our little family can stay together." Haku smiled gently as her long white hair swayed with the wind as Miku nodded and cheered happily. Kai sighed softly but smiled nonetheless. "Okay."
A soft groan was heard as the shy brunet slowly woke from another dream. His amber eyes saw blurry shapes from outside of the window he was leaning against and blinked several times to clear away the residual sleep. Yawning, the boy pushed himself away from the glass and looked around him.
He was sitting in a four-seat booth that rumbled with every motion taken by the vehicle he sat within. It took awhile before the boy realized that he was sitting on a train. Glancing around him, he saw two people sitting across from him: Kyo and Sakura. The raven-haired boy was sitting directly across from Kai with his arm propped up on the windowsill. He had an old book flipped open on his lap and was glancing through the pages. Kai raised his brows in surprise. "Desserts?"
Kyo glanced up and smirked at the baffled brunet. "Morning, Sleeping Beauty." He joked softly before glancing back down at the colorful images and replying. "Yeah. I used to make desserts with my mom." He shrugged with a light blush and Kai nodded in understanding. "That's nothing to be ashamed of, Kyo. After all, I used to go flower pressing with mine before she… before she passed away."
"Flower pressing?" Kyo echoed the phrase and chuckled softly at the image it brought before frowning with a wince. "Sorry. Didn't mean to bring up painful memories." The boy apologized softly, causing Kai to shake his head gently. "Nah. Don't worry about it. I was pretty young so I can't remember her too clearly." He shrugged almost nonchalantly. The raven-haired boy tilted his head and furrowed his brows. "Do you remember anything about her?"
Kai blinked and glanced over at him before looking down sadly. "All I remember is a woman with short blond hair but her eyes are… blurred in my mind… always blurry…" Kai mumbled as he gazed back out of the window. Distantly, he noticed that Sakura was snuggled up against her step-brother, sleeping soundly, whereas Len was resting his head on Kai's shoulder, apparently sleeping as well.
Not noticing, Kyo tilted his head in thought. "Blurry eyes?" He repeated softly as Kai nodded. "Yeah. She always seemed to have blurry eyes… Hmm… I suppose it's ironic in a sense: I used to call her the smiling lady." Kai laughed before looking down at his fingers as they laced together on his lap.
"Smiling lady… How do you know she's your mother?" Kyo asked, closing his book and looking at the brunet who simply smiled. "Because… Whenever I think about her, she always gives me a warm feeling… right here." Kai answered softly as he gently pressed a hand over his chest, over his heart. "So… Yeah. I believe she's my mother. And I always remember her holding flowers and pressing them with me…"
A moment of silence passed before Kyo sighed and looked up with a smile. "Well, just don't forget that you have us now." He laughed before a soft ping was heard, making the two look up in surprise. "Oh! It's our stop." Kyo said before turning to Sakura and gently shaking her. "Sakura. Hey, Sakura. Wake up." He whispered as Kai followed his lead and turned to the blond.
After the two were awakened, the four got off of the black train.
Once outside, Len looked up at the metal object and grinned in interest. "So cool~ I like trains." He cooed, causing Kai to giggle and shake his head. "Yeah. They are pretty cool." Kai nodded before turning to Kyo and asked, "Where to now?"
The raven-haired boy looked up and blinked before turning to one of the pay phone booths available. "I'll go see if I can call Aunt Nagiri to pick us up." The boy shrugged with a slight grimace before jogging off.
Shaking her head, Sakura sighed as she watched her step-brother reluctantly go. "You know, it's funny that Kyo calls her Aunt Nagiri when she's… well, when she's our age." The pinkette giggled before shrugging. "Give or take, anyway."
"So… How old is this Nagiri then?" Len asked, leaning to the side with his hands in his pockets. Sakura glanced around before smiling slightly. "She's about 17..."
"Yeah. She's our age then." Len rolled his eyes before yawning and rubbing his eyes. "We're all around 15 years old." The blonde shrugged before mockingly adding, "Give or take, anyway."
Kai giggled as Sakura glared at the boy. "I am 15 years old." She hissed, green eyes ablating as the blond smirked. "Oh really? You look older." He said, smiling faux-innocently at his master who burst out into laughter as Sakura snarled and raised a fist in an effort to hit the boy when a pale hand suddenly grabbed hers.
"Sorry, sis, but Len's right. You do look older than what you are." Kyo said with an innocent shrug as Sakura gaped like a fish at the two boys before turning to Kai who blushed at the sudden attention and shrugged guiltily. "Boys!" The pinkette finally huffed and stomped her foot before turning away to grumble under her breath.
"Are you sure all of us are boys?" Kyo asked, tilting his head in thought and causing the others to look at him in confusion. "I mean, Kai's got to be like 50% girl, right?" The raven-haired boy teased with a laugh before diving under his sister's fist as Kai stuttered, "F-Fifty percent g-girl?!" Len tilted his head in thought. "That… does sort of make sense." The blond mused aloud before stumbling a bit when Kai suddenly clung to his side.
"Len-kun~" The brunet whined, making the blond laugh. "Relax, Master." Len said gently, rubbing his back as Kyo dodged another fist to his head before turning to look at the other two and grinning impishly. "See? It's totally true!" Sakura paused to look over the clinging brunet and slowly dropped her aggressive stance as the blond shrugged and nodded in agreement. "Sorry, Master, but it does make a lot of sense."
"…"
For a moment, the brunet just stared at the trio in shock before he huffed and stomped passed them. "It was a stupid idea to come to Manchester…" Kai grumbled and as he pushed the glass door open.
"Kai-chan~"
"I am not a girl, darn it!"
Oh and don't forget to reviw^^
