Chapter 1: Hiro's Early Years
It has been two weeks since Hiro's birth. A-ko left her job at the local Graviton Construction Company to raise her new born child; Junichiro continues to work as a Computer Technician at the Nippon Computer Center. He is currently working overtime so that he can give Hiro the best future he so deserves.
As the sun shines through the window, Junichiro and A-ko wake up from their slumber. Junichiro heads off to the washroom to get ready for another day of work. Meanwhile, A-ko picks up her wristbands and puts them on, and then she goes to Hiro's crib, picks him up and heads to the kitchen to feed him. She turns on the TV and turns it to the local news station. As she sits on the chair and begins to breastfeed him, Junichiro walks in the kitchen, A- ko looks at him, smiling and sees that he shaved, is wearing a shirt and tie and a pair of black slacks. He kisses her on the cheek and prepares to make his morning coffee. A-ko looks up at Junichiro and starts up a conversation with him.
"So, how's work been love?"
"It's been quite stressful A-ko. There have been so many computers that needed fixing. When I get the chance, I'll take a vacation and we'll go on a cruise across the lake.
"I can't wait for that. You know Juni; I wonder what ever happened to B- ko."
"Who knows, if anything, Hiro will probably end up seeing her child in Kindergarten."
"You're probably right Juni, looks like I'll have to give Hiro his own pair of weighted wristbands when he grows up. Chances are, he got my powers and without those wristbands he'll destroy anything he touches."
Junichiro laughs and agrees with A-ko, after drinking his coffee; Junichiro puts his work shoes on and heads off to work. As A-ko gets up from the kitchen, she heads off to Hiro's bedroom to change his diaper. After changing his diaper, she changes her clothes by putting on a white shirt with a cute little bear logo on it and a pair of blue denim shorts. Then she holds Hiro in her arms grabs her purse and walks to the family room. She puts Hiro in his stroller, grabs her keys and heads out the door after putting on her shoes. As she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, the honking of a car could be heard; she opens her eyes and looks at the direction of the sound and saw a limousine parked to the side. A-ko walked closer and as the window rolled down, it was B-ko in regular spring clothing.
"So A-ko, it seems you became a mother as well. My own son was born a month ago. I named him Daisuke, so what did you name your child A-ko?"
"Well B-ko my husband named him not me, he named him Hiro. I think it's a beautiful name for him. Your child has a nice name as well. So who's the father?"
B-ko just had a mad expression on her face right after A-ko asked her about the father. She just yelled out telling A-ko it's none of her business who the father is and told the chauffeur to continue driving. A-ko just blinked with confusion and continued on her way to the mall.
Half an hour later, A-ko makes it to the mall, just right as she enters it; her stomach begins to growl from hunger. A-ko walks to the local breakfast shop and orders a sausage biscuit. After paying the clerk 298 yen, A-ko went to the closest table and sat down. Just when A-ko was about to take a bite out of her breakfast one of the employees offered a baby chair for her child. A-ko thanked the man and gave him a smile; he smiled back and went back to his daily routine. A-ko places Hiro on the baby seat takes a bite out of her food.
After eating her breakfast, A-ko got up and put Hiro back to his stroller and walked out of the large restaurant. A-ko looked around the mall and decided to go to the bookstore. She looks down at the stroller and sees that Hiro is fast asleep. Smiling and thinking that he's such a good boy; she walks down the hall to a small bookstore. As she enters, she sees people reading and looking for books. One of them was a small child reading a Gundam Wing manga, and a girl, appears at the age of 12 reading the fifth manga of Card Captor Sakura. A-ko goes to the manga and looks around. One of the clerks confronts A-ko and asks her if she needs anything. As A-ko looks up and sees her, she sees that the woman has bright blue hair, in the shape of a ponytail, she's wearing a light gray shirt that has the store's logo on it, black slack pants and black shoes. A-ko says no thanks and the clerk tells A-ko if she needs anything, just to let her know. A-ko responds with a smile and goes back to looking at the manga. In a few minutes, A-ko finds the manga she was looking for, it's the third issue of Cowboy Bebop. She puts it in the little pouch behind the stroller and goes to the children section. Looking at what types of books to get for Hiro, A-ko decides to pick up some various Dr. Seuss books such as Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. Deciding she got what she wanted, A-ko goes to the register and purchases them. After thanking, she checks up on Hiro and sees he's still sleeping. A-ko spends the next two hours in the mall looking around.
The day goes by without any problems, A-ko got home around 1'clock and cleans the house. Just when she was about to vacuum the carpet the doorbell rings, she goes to the door and opens it, surprisingly, and it's C-ko! She gives C-ko a big hug and starts to go off talking her head off.
"Oh A-ko I'm so glad to see you!"
"It's great to see you too C-ko, c'mon in, I was just about to vacuum the carpet." "Ok A-ko"
C-ko skips inside and sees Hiro in his playpen. C-ko runs to the pen and gives off a big smile to Hiro.
"Oh you're so cute! A-ko, what did you name him?"
"My husband named him Hiro. Do you like the name C-ko?"
"Yea! It's a great name A-ko. I see he has your eyes. And he looks just like his daddy. You're going to have a great life Hiro. I can tell!"
Hiro looks at C-ko curiously and wonders who this person is. He yawns and falls back to sleep. C-ko goes and lies down on the couch and stares at the ceiling.
"So C-ko, why did you back here on Earth?"
"Well, I decided to take a couple of years off. Don't worry about my parents A-ko. I already told them that I would come back one day. I also told them that I decided to come back here because I want to help raise Hiro. So can I stay and live with you? Please?"
"Well I don't mind, I'll talk to Junichiro during dinner, but I don't think he'll mind. Especially how he knows what great friends we are."
C-ko quickly got up and smiled and nodded happily at A-ko. C-ko turned on the remote and decided to watch some television while A-ko goes back to cleaning the house.
Later that evening Junichiro finally came home from work. As he opens the door, A-ko jumped on him and gave him a big hug. He hugs her back and gives her a quick kiss on the lips. A-ko lets go and tells him that her friend C- ko is having dinner with them. Junichiro smiles that he's glad to see C-ko again and goes to his room to get some clothes. He goes off to the washroom to take a shower from his long day at work.
After his shower, Junichiro sees C-ko in the kitchen waiting for dinner. He greets her and pats her on the head and sits down across to C-ko. A-ko comes in with a big bowl of white rice and orange chicken. As Junichiro and C-ko both start to eat, A-ko starts up the conversation.
"So Juni how was work today?"
"Eh, it wasn't too bad today, one of the guys got yelled at for playing Zetris on the computer."
"Great, oh yea; C-ko wants to ask you a question Juni."
C-ko looks over at Junichiro and swallows her orange chicken she just ate.
"Junichiro, is it ok if I stayed with you and A-ko? I want to help you two raise Hiro."
"Let me think C-ko."
Junichiro takes a piece of Orange Chicken and starts to nibble on it and continues to think. C-ko and A-ko look at him cautiously about his decision.
"Ok, you can stay C-ko. We could sure use the help once he grows up more. I'll prepare a room for you later ok C-ko?"
C-ko grabs her bowl of rice and tosses it in the air and makes a big mess. C-ko's yelling of being happy woke up Hiro from his sleep and A-ko goes to his crib to comfort him.
"Oops...sorry A-ko! I didn't mean to wake up Hiro!"
"It's ok C-ko. It was time he woke up anyways."
Junichiro continues to eat his rice and thought to himself.
"Well it's going to be rather interesting here from now on."
It has been three months since C-ko moved in, the snow has settled and the spirit of Christmas is in the air. This will be Hiro's first Christmas. Junichiro has had so much stress from work that he decided to take a few weeks off of work. Since he worked so hard at his jobsite, his boss, being such a friendly and warmhearted person allowed Junichiro to take some time off to be with his family for the holidays.
Yet outside in the snow, someone was watching the Magamis' very closely and is taking down notes.
