Sorry this chapter took so long. I'm not going to say much, since the
teacher is coming this way and you probably want to get to the story. So
here it is.
~That night~
Taichi and Sora's daughter was sitting on a stool in the Hikari's room. She moved her neck.
"Hey. stop moving. Just stay still."
"Aunty. my neck really hurts." She said as she turned to face Hikari. "Can't we stop now?"
"No. Remember I did your homework. And if you keep fidgeting, I'm going to start all over." She said as she stood up and moved her head back into place.
"Stay still. I'm almost done." Hikari said, as she quickly picked up her pencil to start drawing again."
"But I have to go to the bathroom." She said.
"Then hold it in." Hikari said.
Then suddenly out of nowhere, the phone rang.
"The phone." She said quickly.
"Hey. you stay put. Alright?" She said giving her a little harmless glare. Then she rushed to the living room to get the phone.
"Hello?" "Oh mom." She said as she turned around and saw her running away. "Hey!" Hikari heard her mom talking. "Oh nothing. What's wrong?" "Okay. I'll be right there."
~Later~
"It's too expensive." The lady said.
"Feel the fabric." Hikari's mom said.
"Oh it's not big deal. Come on give me a discount."
"That's a good price, take it for leave it."
"But I'm a regular customer." "No. 15 dollars."
"Oh oh alright here." The lady said, stuffing the fifteen dollars in her hand.
"I'll be back." She said as she walked away.
"Uh."
Hikari said and smiled.
"Oh Hikari, you came."
"Did you make a lot of money mom?"
"Oh I can't believe I forgot this bag."
"What about dinner?"
"I ate."
"You didn't eat instant noodles again did you?"
"I ate decent food."
"Okay." Hikari said smiling. "Mom, it's so cold out, you should wear thicker clothing."
"It's cold, go on home."
"Alright, I'll see you at home then."
"Bye." Hikari said as she waved. She started walking but then turned back for a second to see her mom working so hard for them.
Hikari kept walking and she passed by a small restaurant. Takeru was eating at that restaurant and he got up.
Hikari on the otherhand, was walking into a dark alley. A man was coughing and he walked unsteadily toward her.
"How much was that?" Takeru asked.
"10 dollars." The lady replied.
He gave her the money and started walking down the same dark alley that Hikari went through.
"Oh come on. Let's go have a drink." The drunk man said.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Hikari yelled. "You should really get to know me. Come on, I'll buy you a drink."
" Get off me! Help!" She yelled.
Takeru heard her cry and ran over.
"Hikari Yagami?" He asked.
"Takeru Takaishi." She said looking at him terrified.
"Who is this?"
She shook her head meaning that she had no clue who this was.
"Let her go sir." He said.
"And who the heck are you? How dare you butt in? Mind your own business." The drunk man said. "Go home and do some studying. You stupid little brat." He said.
Takeru put a little arm around her and pulled her away.
"Hey you! Come back here!"
Both of them ignored it. But the drunk man ran up to them, grabbed Takeru and punched him across the face.
Takeru fell over and Hiakri screamed. "What are you doing?!" She yelled.
He grabbed her.
"Come on let's go, let's go."
She tried to wriggle her hand free but she couldn't so she bit his hand.
"Ah that hurt you little!" He yelled as she started choking her.
Takeru stood up and pushed the man away from her. Then grabbed him and punched him.
They started fighting. Hikari grabbed the nearest thing she could find, which was a small broom and she started hitting him with it."
~Later~
"So I was walking along, when she flirted with me. She said she wanted me to buy her a drink. So I felt sorry for her." The drunk man said to the police officer. "Then out of the blue, that little punk over there showed up, out of the blue, and hit me. I'm the victim here."
"You had too much to drink." The police officer said. "What did you see me drinking?!" The man yelled. "Be quiet!" He yelled back.
Hikari stared at the blood on Takeru's face.
She gave him her handkerchief. She motioned to the part of his chin where the blood was.
"Not there. Let me do it." She said as she took it from his and started wiping the blood off.
He moved his head a little bit.
"Hold still." She said.
He stared at her.
"You can't even fight, why did you hit him?" She asked curiously. "And er. wipe your chin too."
"Oh boy. My mom will have a heart attack if you finds out what happen." "I can't call my mom, even if my life depended on it. So ask your parents to come."
He just stayed quiet.
The police officer came and sat down in front of them.
"It's not our fault, sir. That guy harassing me."
"Oh be quiet and call your father."
"I. don't have one."
Takeru looked up at her very surprised.
"My mom's working so she can't come."
"Geez." The police officer said, as he faced Takeru. "And what about your parents?"
"Come on we don't have all day. Call them and tell them to pick you up."
Takeru just stayed quiet.
"Hey what are you deaf? Your legal guardian."
"Call your father."
"I don't have a father." Takeru finally said.
~Later~
Hikari came out of the pharmacy carrying a small bag. She ran over to where he was sitting and took a seat next to him. She took out the medicine and put it on him.
"It shouldn't leave a scar."
"It's okay." He replied.
"I didn't know you didn't have a father also. My dad died of an illness. What about yours?"
He stayed quiet. Then he said, "Do you like Daisuke Motomiya?"
"What?" She asked as she stared at him as if he said something forgien. "Of course not. He and I are like family."
"My father and his father were best friends in high school."
"Your father and his father?"
"Uh huh. They're our fellow alumni."
"Really?" He said, thinking. "Come on. It's late. Let's go." He said standing up.
She ran up to him as she put on her pink gloves. "Tell me the truth."
"You got kicked out of that school so you transferred here. Aren't I right?"
"No." She asked again. "Well then why did you come here?"
"To find someone." He replied, looking up.
"Who?" She asked curiously.
"I don't know you well know to tell you."
"Yeah. I guess your right."
It went quiet for a few second. "Hey about tonight." Hikari started.
"You don't have to thank me. I would have done the same for anybody."
She stared at him evily as he walked away. "Hey Takeru Takaishi!" She yelled. When he turned around, she threw the medicine to him. "Don't forget to put that medicine on three times a day!"
She spun around and walked away. He green scarf hanging behind her.
She watched her walk away and then a little grin came up on his face.
