Chapter Six:…That Person Just For You…

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon. Tomaru had just finished studying and was on her way to work. She was a little bit nervous about seeing Ueda, but it's not like she should treat him any differently.

She stepped inside, the bells above the door chimed as it swung open. Chii was already there--she was helping Ueda put out a fresh batch of éclairs.

Chii greeted her, "Good afternoon, Miss Endoso!"

Tomaru returned the greeting, then looked at Ueda. They made eye contact across the room. It was awkward for a moment, but Ueda broke the feeling by cheerfully smiling, "Good afternoon."

Tomaru bowed politely. Chii watched Tomaru go to the backroom to change into her work uniform. She then looked up at Ueda--he seemed unhappy to her.

Chii thought to herself, Chii? Manager and Miss Endoso aren't smiling…does that mean they are unhappy?

The persocom tugged on Ueda's uniform, "Manager Ueda, Chii will be in the kitchen."

She stepped through the small wooden doors, looking for Tomaru. Chii found her sitting by the changing room next to a small shelf of recipe books. She noticed that Tomaru wasn't smiling either--she was doing something that Chii had never seen before.

Chii approached Tomaru, "Miss Endoso, are you okay?"

She looked up at Chii, her face remorseful, "Chii, I didn't know anyone was back here."

Chii moved her face up to Tomaru's. She touched a tear that was sliding down Tomaru's face, "Why is Miss Endoso's face wet?"

She paused, "I-it's because I was crying."

"Crying?" Chii repeated, "Chii does not understand."

Tomaru explained, "It's what people do when they're unhappy."

Chii's face became sympathetic, "Miss Endoso is unhappy?"

She smiled, patting Chii on the head, "Oh, don't worry about me, Chii. It's silly."

"But," Chii started, "Miss Endoso's face is the same as Manager's face…this means that Manager is unhappy as well."

Tomaru paused. She felt bad for giving Ueda the wrong idea about how she felt. Chii smiled, then pointed to it, "Chii wants to know how to make Manager and Miss Endoso do this…Will Miss Endoso tell Chii why she is unhappy?"

"You have a lot of questions, don't you?"

Tomaru told Chii about everything that had happened--from the first time she saw Ueda to the previous night's confessions.

"Does Manager make Miss Endoso smile?" Chii asked, thinking of herself and Hideki.

Tomaru agreed, "Yeah…Manager Ueda does make me smile."

"And Miss Endoso said that Manager threw his arms around her," Chii started.

She nodded. Chii continued, "Chii knows that whenever a person throws their arms around someone…it means that person likes the other person. When Chii threw her arms around Manager, he said Chii shouldn't do that, but Manager didn't tell that to Miss Endoso."

"So you really think he cares about me? He wasn't just saying it?" Tomaru said.

The cheerful persocom smiled, "Chii thinks that Miss Endoso likes Manager, and that Manager likes Miss Endoso."

"Thank you, Chii! You really are a good girl."

Tomaru stood up and headed for the front of the bakery. She stepped out of the kitchen, walking up to Ueda. Chii scurried over to watch them. She thought to herself, Chii thinks that Miss Endoso may have found the person just for her…

**Well, I still haven't gotten any more reviews, but I still kept writing anyways! It's almost finished. I think there'll be maybe one or two more chapters left. I'm sorry if my writing is boring…like I said, it's my first! I bet a lot of people don't like it because it's not really a Hideki/Chii romance or because Yumi isn't in it. Sorry again, I'll try to make a better one soon, k?**
