'Haru-nee-chan,' a small voice called out.
I looked over at the smaller version of me and smiled.
'What is it?' Haru asked me.
'Play with me. Takuma and Kaname, and I don't know where Hana-chan is, are busy and I have no one to play with,' she moaned.
So that's Haru and me as little kids. It's just as he said. We really did get along when we were little, I thought to myself. What did I mean by nee-chan?
Haru giggled at my cuteness. 'How can you be so cute, lil' sis? You're so adorable. Yes I'll play with you.'
The younger version of me jumped up and down in joy.
I watched the two of us play. We were so cute.
'Natsuko-chan it's time for us to go," Kaname called.
I turned towards him. 'Okay. Bye-bye Haru-nee-chan,' I said as I walked away.
I held Kaname's hand on our way back to the Ichijou house.
'Kaname what happened to Rido?' I asked. I was scared. He scared me even now when I was nowhere near that man.
'He's gone for good, or at least he should be. I won't let him hurt you again. I'll have Takuma and Haru look after you.'
I nodded. 'Thank you Kaname.'
I woke up smiling at the memory of us as kids. The only question was what the relation between me and Haru.
I got up and got ready for class.
After classes got out I went to find Haru.
I smiled when I found him. "Haru," I called. I ran over to him.
"What's the matter, Natsuko?" He asked.
"Nothing's wrong," I answered. "I just want to ask you something is all." I smiled even bigger.
"What is it?"
"What is our relation exactly? I had a dream last night. It showed that we were always pretty close after Ichio took me away from you know who, and I always called you Haru-nee-chan. I was curious as to why that was."
I noticed Haru smile slightly. "It's because you're my baby sister. I got depressed when you disappeared. No one would tell me where you went to or why. I'm just glad to have my little sister back in my life. I wanted to talk to you after I saw you here, but was too scared to even try."
I hugged him. "I've missed you big brother. I love you."
"I love you too."
