Ch. 7

Raguna POV

'Alright. Time to go!' I said to myself "I'm off mom!" I yell as I open my front door.

"Take care honey, and remember to behave there." My mom yells from the living room.

"Yeah!" I reply and walk out. "…alright now let's see here." I say pulling out the presentation card that Mr. Kain gave me. "The address here is actually pretty close to the shopping district. Maybe someone there can tell me where to go." I finish and off I went.

Once in the shopping district I saw a lot of people on with their businesses and many more buying off of those businesses.

"Man, this place is a mess. I always hate coming here, that's why I leave the shopping to mom and dad." I said and started walking through the crowded streets.

I still needed to ask for directions so I stopped on the least busy shop I could see.

"Excuse me?" I said trying to get anyone's attention.

"May I help you?" A lady asked

"Yeah, I'm looking for this address." I said pointing to the home address on the presentation card.

"My, my you're looking for Mr. Weiss? He lives own the street. When you get out of the shopping district make a right turn and you should be there in 10 minutes from now." The Lady said

"Thank you ma'am." I said a little confused trying to remember where I had heard that name again and started walking away.

After about the ten minutes I arrived at my destination. It was a rather big house; two floors and a large front yard that made me wonder how big the backyard was. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pool here. I walked up to the front door and knocked on it.

"Who is it?" I heard a tiny voice coming from the other side of the door. When the door opened there was a small girl, she looked about 10 years old, with shoulder long hair. "Hello! How may I help you?" the little girl asked

"I'm looking for the house of Professor Kain." I said a little nervous thinking I could have the wrong house.

"Oh, you're the guy that help daddy?" the girl asked

"Y-yeah…" I replied a little less nervous now that I knew it was the right house.

"Come on in. he isn't home right now, but he will be arriving soon." The girl said and opened the door wider so I could pass. "Please wait here." she said as she pointed to the living room

"Thanks." I replied as I walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

After a couple minutes the girl came back and handed me a glass of water.

"Thank you." I said and took a couple sips.

"So what's your name?" the girl asked

"Err…sorry for not introducing myself…" I started nervously. "My name is Raguna Strife. I'm 16 years old and I'm on the first year of high school." I finished sounding as politely as possible (A/N: I forgot to mention this, but I'm using the school system of 3 years middle school and 3 years High school.)

"First year? Just like my big Sis'" the little girl said.

"I'm home!" I heard Mr. Kain's voice.

"Welcome home daddy!" the girl said and ran to hug him.

"How have you been sweetie…huh? Did you miss me?" Mr. Kain said as he hugged his daughter.

"Welcome back Honey." Mr. Kain's Wife walked into view from the kitchen. She looked like a grown up version of the little girl but with brown hair.

"Thanks honey. It smells amazing by the way." Mr. Kain said, I whiffed the air and noticed there was a tasty smell all around. How did I miss this? Maybe I was too nervous to notice.

"Daddy, daddy. There is someone waiting for you." The little girl said.

"Oh, sorry about that Raguna…" Mr. Kain said as he walked into the living room.

"Is ok…" I started still really nervous about being here. "…I actually just got here too."

"Wow, then just a few minutes later and we would have arrived at the same time." Mr. Kain grinned as he did this funny laugh. "Anyway I see that you've met at least my littlest little girl."

"Yeah, although…" I started and she straightened up.

"Oh my, I just remembered I didn't introduce myself…" The little girl started "…I'm sorry, my name is Candy Weiss very nice to meet you Mr. Raguna."

"haha, is fine. Also I'm not that much older than you, you can just call me Raguna…" I said to Candy. "…By the way sir, you said 'My littlest little girl' and back at the green ruins you said my children. Does that mean you have another daughter?"

"That's right. Have you not seen her?" Mr. Kain said and I just nodded. "…is that so. Candy can you go get your sister, she probably forgot we were having a visitor today and got lost in her studies and research."

Candy looked at Mr. Kain with a bright smile and then ran up the stairs.

"While she is gone allow me introduce you to my wife. Her name is Cari." Mr. Kain said.

"Hello there. Thank you for helping Kain back in the ruins. He becomes really careless when he is doing research." Mrs. Cari said.

"It was nothing really, it was the least I could do." I replied.

"We're back daddy." Candy said

"Sorry for forgetting about today father." I heard a familiar voice.

"Cinnamon?" I asked a little surprised.

"Raguna? What are you doing here?" she asked

"I…" I said now very nervous. I mean, I'm in a girl classmate's house. And not just any girl classmate, the new girl. Whom apparently, by the conversation I was having with Erik in school, I seem to be getting too close too.

"He's the young man I told you all helped me in the Green Ruins." Mr. Kain interrupted saving me from the awkward silence.

"Oh, thank you for helping my father and myself as well while I'm at it." Cinnamon said.

"Wait, so you two do know each other?" Mrs. Cari

"Maybe he is big Sis' boyfriend?" Candy said teasingly and Cinnamon blushed

"Eh!?" was all that came out of my mouth.

"So you are Sis' boyfriend?" Candy continued.

"That's not it. I know him from school…" Cinnamon started.

"School? Really? What a coincidence." Mr. Kain said.

"The reason I said thanks for helping me was that he gave me something tasty to eat today during lunch." Cinnamon said

"WHAT!?" Mr. Kain and I said at the same time.

"Oh my…" Mrs. Cari said

"The tasty fish shaped bread." She added.

"Oh. You meant Taiyaki?" Mr. Kain said and I laughed nervously.

The afternoon after that was just having dinner. Of course there were the occasional questions from almost everyone.

"Hey Raguna, so what do you think of my sister?" Candy asked innocently but obviously trying to get somewhere, this made me spit take since I was drinking water at the moment she asked

"What?" I asked and she just kept making that innocent face of hers.

"I'd like to hear this too." Mrs. Cari said and Mr. Kain just nodded.

"Well…" I started looking at Cinnamon, and she responded by glancing at me and looking away right away. "…I think Cinnamon is a really beautiful girl, really nice, and smart too." I stopped and everyone started clapping.

"That was very nicely said." Mrs. Cari said

"Well, I know that you meant "what do I think of her?" but the thing is that there is much more I see in her. This may sound kinda weird but. I feel like I've known her for many years, a long time ago if you may. In her I don't see the genius everyone in school, or as I've been told in her life, thinks of her, I see a good friend with the need of someone who will listen to her when she has something to say and help her when she needs the help even if she didn't ask for it." I finished and looked up at everyone. They were all silent. "I'm sorry, that was really weird of me. Completely out of character I know."

"No that's not it. It was really out there. Something truly remarkable." Mr. Kain

"It was actually beautifully said" Mrs. Cari said.

"It is really rare for children now-a-days to think the way you do." Mr. Kain added. Cinnamon then looked at me and smiled. "Well Raguna, I hope you can be that friend that she needs."

The rest of my visit actually very normal. Even Candy stopped teasing me. And when it was time for me to leave everyone said for me to come back sometime.

"Yeah and next time you come over, bring your sword I want to see it." Candy said.

"Sure thing." I said and waved goodbye to everyone.

The walk back home was rather normal, until…

"Ragu!" I heard from the shopping district up ahead.

"Hey Mist!" I said when I saw her

"What are you doing here?" Mist asked

"Just paying a little visit to someone." I replied

"Who?"

"Hey Raguna. You forgot this." Cinnamon said coming up to me and handing me a jacket I had brought along in case it got cold.

"Thanks Cinnamon." I said and took the jacket from her and she left.

"So you were at Cinnamon's house?" Mist asked a little slyly.

"Yeah…" I replied…maybe it isn't a good idea that she found that out.
