Chapter 29: Ruu
"Ruu." Miyu heard her brunet companion answer.
She didn't hold back her snort. "What kind of name is that?" she asked and looked at him expectantly.
"Well," he explained, "it's the kind of name that his parents would give him." Raising an eyebrow inquiringly, Miyu was supplied with more information. Kanata showed her a piece of parchment. It was the note from the baby's guardian, it seemed.
Kind Ma'am/Sir,
Please take good care of baby Ruu. He is 8 months old since yesterday. His parents have passed away from an accident, and I, as his sole living guardian, cannot take care of him adequately. It would be too dangerous for a delicate angel like him to be with me. I trust that he is in safe hands.

PS: I will be sending his needs every now and then for the support of the child. I do not wish to burden you with extra expenses.
"Oh," was all that came from Miyu's lips.
"Good thing somehow," Kanata followed up, "At least the guardian covers some of Ruu's expenses. Money hopefully wouldn't be a problem."
Miyu sighed and looked at the baby. She smiled as she watched him sleep. Kanata saw her lightly caressing the baby's face. The sight made him smile. He felt something warm inside, a stirring of a feeling that was buried in his unconscious mind.
He went to the baby and softly spoke, "Welcome to the family, Ruu."
'Family, huh?' she thought, but she mimicked him anyways.
A/N: A 250-word! I can't concentrate with Chemlab, so I decided to write. I'll cram tomorrow, like always. Laziness will be the death of me.
Dedicated to DawnRulz, because this is the answer to her review. :)
