//National Freedom Day//

"Kirihara-kun," began Yagyuu Hiroshi. "What are you wearing?"

"A flag," responded the younger boy.

"I can see that, Kirihara-kun," Yagyuu said, motioning to the American flag that Akaya was currently wrapped in. "I meant why, exactly, are you wearing a flag? And why an American flag?"

"`Cause it's National Freedom day in America."

"I see. And might I ask why you're celebrating National Freedom Day?" Akaya nodded.

"`Cause I felt like it."

"I see. And why, exactly, did you feel like it?"

Akaya shrugged. "No reason. Just because I can."

"Might I ask," Yagyuu continued to inquire, "Why you can celebrate this American holiday?" Akaya nodded again.

"Because Freedom of Speech and Expression said I could," the boy answered, waved, and walked off.

Yagyuu let out a sigh. It seemed some questions were better left unanswered. At least until Akaya had had some history and geography lessons.
