Morning came and the twins had woken up to their routine. Yuuzu will cook breakfast while Kairin check their little sister. Isshin the last to come gave his usual morning to Yuuzu which he smiled and greeted back. Isshin gave his next greeting to Masaki whom he had made a large picture so that he could feel she's always there for them. Yuuzu didn't mind the antics, he like his father that way.
It was normal when suddenly they heard Kairin shouted, "YUUZU! GOUT-FACE! COME HERE QUICK!"
It's from Ichigo's room. Worried the two immediately went to her room. When they got there a miracle finally happened. There was Ichigo, finally awake and looking worried for her big brother who's crying in relief and happiness. Yuuzu can't believe it, Ichigo's finally awake for this whole four years, she's finally awake!
"Ichigo!" Yuuzu approached his little sister and hugged her, tears flew down. How great this day that finally their strawberry sister is back.
Hoarse but called them, "Kai-nii… Yuu-nii…"
Her voice alone made them cry even more, how they had miss her voice so much. The wish they truly wanted finally came true, their sister is back alive!
"Ichigo" A familiar voice called her name and turned to see her father crying like her twin brothers. She smiled to his father and as if on cue, Isshin dashed to his only daughter and hugged her as he cries. "Your back… thank goodness your back…"
"Oyaji" She spoke in hoarse tone. Isshin smiled for his daughter, "Welcome back Ichigo."
This widen her eyes before smiling back, "I'm back…"
That day, the twins decide not to attend school for the sake of Ichigo who had woken up from coma. Yuuzu had cooked too many for their celebration. Kairin never left her side as their father tend her with care and love. There's a moment when Ichigo questioned about their mother, for a reason none had answered and decide to change subject but Ichigo refused to sway.
"Please… I… I know… Kaasan died… be-because of me… because of me she…" Before Ichigo could tear up, Isshin immediately comfort her. "No it's not your fault Ichigo. I don't know what happened but it's not your fault."
"B-but… if Kaasan hadn't protected me… then she's surely be alive now… she's here and…"
"And you'll tell me your gone?" Isshin's eyes darken that made Ichigo halt. Isshin gave a comfort hug, "It's not your fault Ichigo and will never be so don't blame yourself. If I'm there I will do what your mother had done to protect you. We love you Ichigo, we don't want anything bad happen to you."
"Oyaji…" Ichigo began to tear up, can't believe instead of blame but comfort and love. Ichigo hugged his father and cried in grief for her mother's death. Isshin didn't mind and let it happen. The twins join in to comfort their little sister.
They finally knew how their mother died, she protected their little strawberry from harm. Anyone in the family will do anything to protect their little sister, it's like she's the light of their family so the twins had sworn themselves to never let any pain come to her again.
Soon when she had calm down, they questioned who harm them that day. Her description was not what they had expected.
"At first it was a dark woman… I tried to approach that woman but… it became different and… turn into monster. I'm about to be kill but Kaasan tried to protect me but she died… Then it will soon eat me and… I don't know… I… collapse…"
The twins were kind of confuse about the description.
Yuuzu would never understand because unlike his twin brother and little sister who could see souls of the dead, he can't see a thing well maybe feel but see and speak to them total no.
Kairin who had experience in seeing and talking souls was confused, could it be a soul tried to harm his sister? Could they harm the living? As far as he knew, no souls could harm living but according to Ichigo it was a black woman… what kind of woman turn into a monster?
If ever the children had focused on their father, they would see the disbelief in his eyes. It's like he knew what kind of monster her daughter witnessed that day. Unconsciously he gripped his hand, 'I will need his help for this.'
They decide to drop the topic and had her focus on regaining her health instead. Since Ichigo had lost her four years, Yuuzu volunteered to teach her whenever she feels up for it and better which made her smile and nodded. Kairin will do the same whenever Yuuzu's busy, well maybe because he had a soccer practice to attend in school but that won't stop him from attending his little sister.
Seeing the twins made Isshin act like a fool who will tease them until Kairin smack or punch his father for irritating them. This cause Yuuzu and Ichigo to laugh which they all thought a good thing. After all the cause of coma must be trauma but seeing her well, smiling and laughing, maybe there's nothing much to be worried about.
Late night when the twins decide to sleep with their little sister, they were comfortably sleeping not noticing that Ichigo was still awake and looking at the night sky. In her eyes something about her looks more mature and wiser, she took a deep breath before whispering within the air.
"Death shall act to injustice."
For now its a small chapter but in next would be more.
