Sorry! I've been very busy and forgot to update the next chapter. I'm going on vacation in a few days, so I will try to add another chapter or two before I leave. And yes, I still have writer's block on my other story.
Aster: Hey! Hannah, you forgot to let me come in the last chapter to talk to you guys.
Hannah: Sorry Aster, I wasn't thinking.
Aster: Duh! Of course you weren't thinking.
Shi: Where's Kyou?
Hannah: He's afraid to let people see him when he was nine years old, so he's hiding.
Aster: Ahh... But he was so cute!
All: Enjoy this chapter.
At the house, Kazuma had just gotten home, and was going up to Shi's room to see if she was there or not, "Shi? Are you in here?" He asked. Just then, Shi jumped into the room through her window, "You're lucky that boy didn't see you Shi!" Kazuma cried out, scared to death that she'd come out of nowhere through the window. Little did he know that the orange haired boy was in the doorway seeing what had happened.
"Sorry sir." Shi said. She caught a glimpse of a boy quickly going down the stairs. Orange hair? "Kyou!" Shi clamped her hand over her mouth when she realized that she said the name out loud. Dang!
Kazuma was just getting ready to walk out the door when he heard Shi call out Kyou's name. He quickly turned around, "What did you say?" He asked, hoping he was just hearing things.
"Nothing Daddy." Shi said with an innocent look on her face. Kazuma walked out, confused, "Wait! Does anyone else live here?" She asked.
Kazuma turned around, "Except the boys who want to hurt you, no. Now, it's time for bed." He said, tucking Shi into her bed and kissing her on the forehead, "Good night Shi."
" 'Night Dad." Shi said as Kazuma walked out the door. She fell asleep wondering where she had seen Kyou before.
Kazuma went to Aster's room, "Good night, Aster." He said, also tucking her in and kissing her on the forehead.
"Dad?" Aster asked.
Kazuma turned around and sighed, "Yes?"
"Does anyone else live in this house?" She asked.
"Beside those two boys, no. Good night." He said, getting ready to depart.
"Wait! What about-"
Kazuma turned and sighed again, very tired, "What?"
"What about that girl upstairs… Shi I believe?" Kazuma's face was one of shock. When he regained his composure, he walked out the door.
"Good night, Aster." He said. He went down to the basement, "She has got to quit doing this to me!"
"But…Oh never mind." Aster said. Aster went to sleep thinking about Haru and Shi.
"Shishou, who was that girl who knew my name?" Kyou asked, standing right besides Kazuma, which made him jump.
"Kyou! You should be in bed. Good night Kyou." Kazuma said, very exhausted.
"But she knew my name." Kyou insisted.
"Go to bed. I don't know how Shi knew your name."
"Who is Shi?" Kyou asked.
"Some one you and Aster aren't supposed to know."
"Who is Aster?" Kyou asked again.
"If you want to know so much, ask them yourself." Kazuma said, before he shut his eyes to try and sleep.
"How can I find them?" Kyou asked, tugging on the sleeve of Kazuma's shirt.
Kazuma, half asleep, told him, "Shi's the last room upstairs on the right, and Aster is on the first floor, last room on the right." Kazuma said, then he fell back asleep.
"Okay. Thanks." Kyou said, running up the basement stairs. It took Kazuma a few minutes to realize what he had done.
Kazuma jolted up, "Damn it!" He said, slapping himself. Of course, he was too tired to get up from where he was lying.
Please review people! That way, if this isn't that good, I can just go back to doing my one story. You may critique me if you want, I really don't care. Hope you enjoy it.
