Rukawa : WHAT THE HELL?!
Momo : Oni-chan… Buy me some ice cream!!! *points at the ice cream parlor*
Sakuragi : Oh where? I don't see an ice cream man anywhere… *trying to act dumb*
Momo : Here here, I'll take you to him *walks with Sakuragi's huge hand in hers* Step one, step two, step three…
Sakuragi : *follows* Step four, step five, step six… Are we there yet? *Looks at her*
Momo : No no! *waves her index finger in front of his eyes* Close your eyes, Ni-chan! *continues* Step six, step seven, step eight…
Rukawa : There's gonna be trouble…
Sakuragi : Okay! *closes eyes* Step eight, step nine… *opens an eyelid to peek* Step te—TEME KAWAI!!!!!!
Rukawa : Uh oh… Not again… *places his hand on his forehead*
Sakuragi : It's because of you!!!!! Because of you!!!! Now Haruko hates me.!!!
Rukawa : Oh hell yeah, blame it all on me… *shrugs*
Sakuragi : Teme!!!!!
Momo : Oni-chan? *stares at him with watery eyes*
Sakuragi : Uh… Ooh, gomen Momo-chan! *smiles* Okay I'll get you an ice cream first! *eyes turned sharp towards Rukawa* We shall continue later, Kawaii…
Rukawa : Whatever… *sigh*
Nanao : Oni-chaaan!
Rukawa : Oh Nanao-chan… Let's go home…
Sakuragi : Nanao-chan?!?!
Ice cream man : *hands Momo the cup of cookies n cream ice cream* Here you go little sugar… *smiles*
Nanao : *looks at Sakuragi, first confused then she laughed while pointing at Sakuragi's red bold head* Aaaaaa That's so cuteeeee!!! *runs towards Sakuragi who's kneeling beside Momo and starts rubbing his head*
Sakuragi : *laughs the TENSAI style* Hey Kawaii, your sister likes my head! Ha ha ha!!
Rukawa : *shrugs and sighs* Well… Is that girl your sister too?
Sakuragi : Yeah… Her name's Sakuragi Momoko… *grins*
Nanao : Nice to meet you, Momoko-chan… *grabs Momo's hand and shakes it*
Momo : Nice to meet you too, Nanao-chan…
Nanao : *runs back to Rukawa* Oni-chan? Can I take some time to play with Momoko-chan and that red-head Monkey? *points at Sakuragi*
Rukawa : *laughs* Redhead Monkey? Look, Do'aho… My sister even looks at you as a monkey…
Sakuragi : *growls* I'll have to forgive her because she's just so cute…
Rukawa : *bents down and pats Nanao's head* Sure, Nanao-chan… Oni-chan will be waiting for you here…
And then Nanao rushed with her new friends to the sand box to build a sand castle together, while Rukawa and Sakuragi walked side by side and sat on the yellow-painted swings in the park.
Sakuragi : Taking her for a walk, eh?
Rukawa : Well… Kind of… I didn't pick her up today and she came by to my working place and said that she can't go home without me…
Sakuragi : That's so sweet of her… *looks up to the puffy clouds* Well I gotta take her out sometimes too since our father passed away… Now I gotta play the role as a father sometimes…
Rukawa : Hm… Looking at my conditions, it's quite similar to yours. Our father passed away a few years ago too… Now I gotta help Ka-san support the kids… That's why I go to work at the gas station, just to add a few money or so…
Sakuragi : I understand… It's kinda hard, eh? Being a father…
Rukawa : *nods* True… But just to look at her grow… And to be with her, eases the uneasiness that are around you…
Sakuragi : Yup…
Rukawa's face saddened. He suddenly realized that he's not Sendoh Akira. Well he is for now, and it's temporary. He'll never know when he's going to go back to his old self and his usual life. He couldn't imagine how hard it'll be to go back to loneliness again, and he couldn't just imagine how much he'll miss them, Keisuke, Machi, Nanao, and even Chizu.
Rukawa : (in his head) How did I learn things about family relationship this fast? I was only Nanao-chan's brother, Sendoh Akira, for two days… She made me realize that being with a family is more than anything you could ever know… Love between the family is far way more than valuable… Being with our family… soothes… Did Ka-san and To-san ever think of that? Why weren't they here for me, then? *buries his face in his hands*
Sakuragi : Hey, are you okay, Kawaii?
Rukawa : *looks up* Oh… I'm okay… My head, just the usual migraine… *shrugs*
Sakuragi : I'm sorry… That must be because of the wound I caused you this afternoon.
Rukawa : *shook his head* Nah, don't think about it, it's nothing…
Sakuragi : *smiles* I never thought we could get along so well…
Rukawa : And I never knew that you… you'll be such a good friend…
Sakuragi : Hey, who knows? We only met for a day…
Rukawa : *smiles* And get into trouble in a day…
Sakuragi : *laughs* Friends?
Rukawa : Friends… *rested his hands on Sakuragi's broad shoulder*
Momo : Oni-chan… Buy me some ice cream!!! *points at the ice cream parlor*
Sakuragi : Oh where? I don't see an ice cream man anywhere… *trying to act dumb*
Momo : Here here, I'll take you to him *walks with Sakuragi's huge hand in hers* Step one, step two, step three…
