Chapter 5: She's Dead
---3 Years later---
"Isa-chan, could you hand me that basket right there?" Aiko asked, sitting next to the river, preparing to do the neighborhood's laundry.
"This one 'Kaasan? The red one?" Isako asked, pointing to the red basket, labled 'Minamoto.'
"Hai Isa-chan." Aiko replied, smiling.
"One...two...three...four..." Isako counted, as she lifted the red basket and carried it to Aiko.
"Ahh...Isa-chan. Would you like to help me?" Aiko asked, smiling as Isako handed the basket to her.
"Hai 'Kaasan!" Isako exclaimed, sitting down next to Aiko. It had been 3 years since she last saw her mother. And about half way through those 3 years, she had forgotten that her mother was Tokiko. Getting used to the fact that she now had a mother and a sister was pretty easy for her.

"Mimi...I...uhhh...how do I...errr...uhh...I mean...ooh...uhhhmmm...would you like to....uhhh...I mean...that is...if you don't already have...someone to...uhhh..." Yamato stuttered, turning ten shades of red.
"I'd love to go to Homecoming with you Yamato." Mimi replied, smiling.
"Y-You would? Really? Great! So I'll come by around 7, is that alright with you?" Yamato stuttered, returning to his orignal color.
"Uh-huh." Mimi nodded.
"Hey Yamato! Let's go! The bus is leaving!" Taichi called, from the bus stop.
"Alright then Meems...see you around." Yamato smiled before turning around and running off to the bus stop.
"Sure thing...anytime..." Mimi whispered, smiling unconciously as she watched the bus drive off to Raikatuji HS for the next game.
"Mimi!" Sora called in a sing-song voice.
"Huh?!" Mimi exclaimed, breaking out of her trance.
"I saw that." Sora replied flatly.
"O-oh...uhhmmm...no?" Mimi stuttered, a blush creeping onto her face.
"Don't deny it! So...what did he say? Did he ask to go to homecoming with him? It's only next week, and he doesn't have a date yet..." Sora chatted, she noticed Mimi turn redder. "He did, didn't he?!" Sora exclaimed, making Mimi blush harder.
"Who did?" Miyako asked, startling Mimi and Sora.
"Ooer..." Mimi started.
"Why so jumpy? You have something you don't want me to know?" Miyako asked.
"Uhmmm...oh! Pretty butterfly!" Mimi exclaimed, running off to chase a bird.
"Uhmm...yeah.." Sora said, following Mimi.
"O...kay..." Miyako said, watching them run off.

"I'll be over soon, Haruki-kun! Just gonna tell my 'Kaasan!" Isako called as she ran into the house to tell Aiko she was going to play with her friends.
"'Kaasan! Where are y-" Isako gasped as tears formed in her eyes. "'Kaasan! 'Kaasan, get up!" Isako cried as she pleaded, tugging at Aiko's hand. "'Kaasan..." Isako whispered, clinging to her.
"Isako-chan?" a little green-haired boy with red eyes asked, standing in the doorway, looking for his companion.
"A-Ahhh...Haruki-kun! I-I can't c-come over today..." Isako whispered, crying silently.
"Doushite Isak-" Haruki gasped as he entered the room to see Aiko on the floor and Isako clinging to her. [doushite = why]
"Gomen-nasai Haruki-kun...my 'Kaasan won't wake up, and I'm gonna tell my 'neesan." Isako replied, taking Haruki by the hand and leading him out the door. "Maybe another time..." [gomen-nasai = polite way of saying 'I'm sorry']
"O-okay Isako-chan...I'll come over tomorrow...okay?" Haruki asked, concerned about his playmate's tone.
"H-hai...I'll see you tomorrow then. Ja ne." She replied, smiling fakely and running off in the direction of Odaiba HS.

"Mimi...isn't that Isa-chan?" Sora asked, pointing at the figure sitting next to the flag pole.
"Eh-ISA-CHAN?! What is she doing here?!" Mimi exclaimed, running over to Isako.
"'Neesan...'Kaasan...she's...she..." Isako started, but soon the tears she so long tried to stop, fell.
"What's wrong Isa-chan? What happened?" Mimi asked, embracing the little girl she had grown to love.
"Sh-she...she's...not moving. I tried to wake her up...but she wouldn't! I tried 'neesan! I did! But she didn't! And then Haruki came over! And he wanted to play, and I said I couldn't because I had to come here! But 'neesan...'Kaasan...she wasn't moving..." Isako cried, clinging tightly to Mimi.
"Was she breathing?"
"No...she wasn't." Isako replied after a pause.
"Mimi...I..." Sora whispered, tears stinging her face as she tried to find the words to comfort her friend.
"G-gomen Sora...I can't come over tonight." Mimi said, tears falling down her creamy face.
"D-Daijobu...don't worry about it." Sora replied, smiling faintly as she helped her friend up. [daijobu = it's okay/okay daijobu? = how are you? are you okay? (can be a question or an answer)]

"'Kaasan..." Mimi whispered, as she quickly ran to her mother's side and held her hand. 'Cold as ice...' she gasped.
"'Neesan? What's wrong with 'Kaasan? Is she sick?" Isako asked, climbing into Mimi's lap and looking into her pain-filled eyes.
"I-Isako-chan...'Kaasan...she...she's..." Mimi started as she cried.
"What's wrong with her 'neesan?" Isako asked, wiping a tear from Mimi's face.
"Isako...she's dead."
