Ukyo helped Ryoga onto the barstool infrount of the grill. She walked behind the grill and made him a snack. He told her about the whole day at the new school and how he kept getting lost.She grinned.
"Why did you tell them my last name was Kuonji?" He asked.
"Well. It was that or tell them my last name was Hibiki." She said putting the plate infrount of him and giving him some chopsticks. As he began eating some more people came in.
"Hello there little fella." An old man said.
"Hello." Ryoga said eating.
"Whats your name?" The old man asked.
"Ryoga." He said still eating.
"Nice ta meetcha Ryoga, Im Tachi." He said sitting down. "An origonal please."
"C'min right up sugar!" Ukyo said starting to make the origonal. Ryoga finished up his snack. "Got any homework Ryoga?"
"No." He said looking around for something to do. Ukyo gave the man his lunch and gave Ryoga some paper and crayons. Ryoga began to draw a map of Japan.
"Thats a good picture kiddo." The old man said.
"Thanks." Ryoga said adding the ocean.
After all of the coustomers had left Ryoga stopped drawing. Ukyo helped him off of the barstool and took him back to the house.
"Woh!" Ryoga said astonished. "Where did you get the furniture?"
"The town was so generis." She said grinning. Ryoga walked in and sat down on the chair. "I have some arrends to run okay sugar? Will you be okay home alone?"
"I'll be fine." He said to her.
"Okay."She said and left. Ryoga lounged in the chair while watching Tv. Ukyo had been gone about 10 minutes before he found himself crying. He wiped the tears from his small eyes and made his way into the bathroom. He was able to climb onto the counter and look at himself in the mirror. Oh Ucchan.....If I wasnt trapped in this wretched body.... mabye....you would love me...I dont know why im crying....but....I just want so badly to tell you how I feel Ucchan....I want to tell you....I love you. He thought as he made his way into the living room again. He lounged in the chair again untill he slowly fell asleep.
Ukyo returned around 6:00. Ryoga was still sleeping on the chair and Ukyo smiled. She slowly put a blanket over him and carried him into his room, she lied him on his new bed and stroked his hair. She slowly untied his bandannas and put them on his endtable next to his bed. She gave him a small kiss on the forehead and left the room. Picking up the bandannas as she left. She walked into the bathroom and put Ryoga's bandannas in the washing machine. She walked back into the living room and lied on the new couch.
