Chapter 5.  Trip to Kyoto

          "Look outside, Heiji," said the little girl in ponytail, she was pointing at the cherry blossoms outside the bullet train, "those sakura are so beautiful!"  Shizuka was sitting next to Kazuha, while Heiji and Heizo were sitting opposite to them.

"I can see that myself," said Heiji, "I don't need you to show that to me.  Okaasan, why do we need to bring her with us to Kyoto?"  Shizuka and Heizo had brought both Heiji and Kazuha to Kyoto.

"Heiji, don't be so rude to Kazuha-chan," said Shizuka, "don't you remember you have ruined her dress last week?  It's spring break now, so we decided to bring her with us, and isn't it happier to have her joining us?"

"I just think that it will be more noisy," said Heiji, but he did not dare to say anymore, as he knew that it would be danger to continue this conversation. 

"Kazuha-chan, we'll be there soon," said Shizuka.  "I think that Reiko would like you very much." 

"Reiko?"  Kazuha looked confusing at Shizuka's words.

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "Hi, Reiko," said Shizuka, "long time no see!"  They were in front of a Japanese style house; a beautiful lady was coming out to greet them.  "This's Reiko, she's my cousin."

"Shizuka, I miss you," said Reiko, "and Heizo, you're more mature than I saw you last time."

"Hi, obasan," said Heiji.

"Oh, Heiji," said Reiko, "you're much taller."  Reiko had noticed a little girl was coming with them, "who's that little girl?  Is this your little girlfriend, Heiji?"

"Of course not," said Heiji, "she's just the daughter of my father's colleague, and it's okaasan's idea to bring her here.  She's nothing to do with me!"

"Hi, obasan, I'm Toyama Kazuha, nice to meet you."

"Wow, you're kawaii!"  Reiko immediately hugged her tightly; "I've wanted a daughter for a long time."  Heiji already thought that this trip to Kyoto would be quite different.   

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

           That night, Heiji and Kazuha were sleeping in the same room, "Heiji, your obasan is very passionate, she held me so tight that I could not breath."

"Yes, she's a bit weird sometimes," said Heiji, "and she loves little girl.  I remembered that when I saw her last time, she pinched my face so hard that I could still feel the pain the next day."

"Wow, that's hurt," said Kazuha, "um, where're we going tomorrow?"

"Let's go to the Sannoo Temple," said Heiji, "it's a nice place there."

"Okay, let's go there tomorrow." 

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "Kazuha, you're so slow," said Heiji, "I won't wait for you."

"Heiji, wait, I'll be ready in a minute."

After a while, Kazuha was rushing down the stairs.  "Heiji, Kazuha, why are you both in a rush?" 

"Otoosan are going to bring us to the Sannoo Temple," said Heiji.

"Oh, it's a good time to go there as there're lots of sakura there, it would be beautiful," said Reiko, "let's go there also."

"Okaasan, let's go now," said Heiji, "otoosan is already waiting for us."

"Wait, Kazuha-chan, let's change your clothes first," said Reiko.

"Eh?"

"Of course you wear kimono when you're going to Sannoo Temple," said Reiko.

Heiji was waiting impatiently outside, "Kazuha, are you ready?" 

"Not yet, obaasan is finding the kimono."

"It'll be late if we don't leave now," said Heiji.  "Okaasan, can I go there first with otoosan?"

"Okay, you go there first," said Shizuka.  "We'll go there once we're ready."

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "Ouch!  My head is hurt," said Heiji.  He was looking around and found himself in a small hut, with a broken wooden window outside.  'I came to Sannoo Temple with Otoosan, and then I entered a small hut, and the wooden window was broken.  I fell down and hurt my head.'

Heiji suddenly heard someone was singing, and he looked outside the broken window.  There he found a small girl in a red kimono was playing with a ball while singing under a cherry blossom.

"Wow!"  Heiji was obsessed to this scene, but a sudden breeze of wind distracted him.  He closed his eyes and when he opened it again, the girl disappeared.

Heiji immediately came rushing out and found that the girl had left already.  He noticed something shiny under the cherry blossom, "a crystal gem?"  He ran out of the temple quickly, but he still could not find the girl. 

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "Heiji, you're back late," said Shizuka, "where've you been?"

"Sorry for being late, I went to Sannoo Temple," said Heiji.

"We've been there also, but we can't find you," said Reiko.  "Kazuha-chan was quite disappointed."

"Where's Kazuha?"  said Heiji.

"She's tired so she went to sleep already," said Shizuka.  "Reiko made her tried lots of clothes today."

Heiji went back to his room and found out that Kazuha was already sleeping soundly in her bed.  He noticed something on Kazuha's hair.  "A flower petal?  She's much nicer while she's sleeping," said Heiji to himself, "and more quiet also."   

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "Heiji!"  Kazuha suddenly popped in front of Heiji, "a…aho!  What are you thinking?  Screaming loudly at my ears!  You hurt my ears!"

"I've called you many times already?  Are you dreaming with your eyes open?"

"What do you think I am?  A goldfish"  said Heiji, and he tapped his fingers lightly on Kazuha's forehead.  "Why do you shouting around?"

"Ouch!"  Kazuha soothed the pain on her head with her hands, "let's go and play hanabi, obasan has bought lots of them."

"Hanabi?  That's great!"  Heiji was already at the door, "go out now, slowpoke!  What're you doing there?" 

"Hehe!" 

"Aho!  Why do you smile suddenly?  You like people calling you slowpoke?"

"Of course not!  I'm happy because you're finally back to your own self again," explained Kazuha, "you seemed out of your mind since you came back from Sannoo Temple."

"Aho!  Let's go now."

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~

          "It's a great trip," said Kazuha on the bullet train on their way home, "thank you for bringing me along!"

"It's not my idea to bring you along," said Heiji, he then picked out the crystal gem from his pocket to examine.

"Kawaii, where do you get this?" said Kazuha.

"I won't tell you," said Heiji.  "It's a secret."

"Huh?" said Kazuha, "you're so mean.  Let me have a look!"

"No," said Heiji, but Kazuha had already snatched the crystal gem from him. "How could you be so rough?  Try to act more like a girl!"  The two of them started quarrelling with each other again.

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~
