"Mimi-chan...it's so nice to see you again..." Tokiko smiled, embracing a surprised Mimi.

"'Neesan...what are you doing here?" Mimi asked.

"What? I can't see my imouto-chan after 10 years?" Tokiko replied, letting Mimi go and looking at her face. [imouto = little sister]

"Well...it's not that you can't see me...it's just...why?" Mimi asked, confused with her sister's behavior. The last time they saw eachother was that one night...that one night 10 years ago.

"I've missed you. It's nice to hear you and Mom found somewhere to live." Tokiko replied. Noticing how much Mimi has grown.

"'Kaasan! 'Kaasan!" a little girl around the age of 5 exclaimed, clinging to Tokiko's leg. Mimi gasped.

"'Neesan...is this..." Mimi struggled to form sentences.

"Hai Mimi-chan. This is my daughter. Isako-chan." Tokiko replied, taking Isako by the hand.

"'Kaasan...who's that?" Isako asked, pointing at Mimi.

"Isako-chan, this is my imouto. Mimi-chan." Tokiko replied, picking up Isako.

"Mimi...-san?" Isako asked, looking at Mimi.

"H-Hai?" Mimi replied, stepping closer to Isako. 'She has Mom's eyes...'

"Aiya! I have an appointment. Mimi-chan, could you please watch Isako-chan for me?" Tokiko exclaimed, giving Isako to Mimi.

"Uhhh...sure..." Mimi replied nervously.

"Arigato!" Tokiko said before running off.

"Isa-chan?" Mimi asked, turning to the little girl in her arms.

"Hn?" She asked, turning her head to Mimi.

"Would you like to meet a friend of mine?" Mimi asked, smiling. Isako responded by nodding.

"Mimi? What took you? You owe me an ice cream now." Sora said as Mimi approached them.

"Gomen ne, I had an unexpected visit." Mimi replied, breathing heavy.

"Mimi, who's this little cutie?" Sora asked, looking at Isako.

"Oh, this is Isako-chan. My 'Neesan's daughter." Mimi replied, picking Isako up.

"Isako-chan? 'Neesan? Wait! You mean you're 'Neesan was the one who visited you? That's why you took a long time?" Sora gasped, looking at Isako.

"Uhh...yeah..." Mimi replied.

"So...let's go." Sora said.

"Oh..uhmmm...do you think maybe we could wait here for a while? I told my 'Neesan that I'd watch Isa-chan for her." Mimi replied, blushing.

"Oh...sure. We could wait about, an hour. If she's not back by then...we'll have to take Isa-chan with us." Sora replied, smiling.

1 hour later

"Mimi...let's go. She's not coming." Sora whispered.

"Oh..okay. Isa-chan, come come." Mimi replied sadly, taking Isako's hand and guided her to their home.

"It's okay Mimi, your sister will come back. Just wait." Sora comforted Mimi.

"Y-yeah..I suppose." Mimi replied, as they reached her house. 'She left us again.'

"G' night Mimi." Sora said as she walked the rest of the way home, by herself.

"'Kaasan! Tadaima!" Mimi exclaimed, as she entered the house. [tadaima = I'm home]

"Okairinassai!" Aiko replied, stepping out of the kitchen with a plateful of food. She placed the plate on the coffee table and notcied a small child in Mimi's arms. "Mimi-chan? Who's this little one?" Aiko asked, taking Isako from Mimi's arms.

"This is Isako-chan. 'Neesan's daughter." Mimi replied as she walked over to the coffee table.

"Tokiko-chan? She visited?" Aiko asked as she lay Isako to sleep on the couch.

"Yes...'Kaasan." Mimi replied.

"How was she? Is she okay?" Aiko bombarded her daughter with questions.

"She's okay...though her job isn't a very good one." Mimi replied sadly.

"Why? What is she doing for a living?" Aiko questioned, embracing a sobbing Mimi.

"'Kaasan...she...she's...a...a...whore!" Mimi exclaimed, crying into her mother's shirt.

"A..whore..." Aiko repeated in disbelief. As both of them sat there crying silently, they didn't realize Isako crying as well.

"Mimi-san..." Isako sobbed, surprising Mimi and Aiko.

"Isa-chan?" Mimi asked dumb founded. Isako nodded. Mimi opened her arms and Isako quietly crawled in them. The three of them held eachother, crying their silent tears.
