Fall
Chapter 3 – Another Goldfish
'kasaan,' I whispered. 'kasaan I won a goldfish.'
'kasaan was crying, really hard. I wanted to tell her that everything will be alright, that I was there and Yahiko-chan and Tsubame-chan. I didn't though; I just sat there, in silence. After what seemed like eternity, 'kasaan wiped her tears away and gave me a small smile as she took the goldfish off my hand.
'I won three of them; I gave the other two to Tae-chan.'
'My, aren't you the expert?'
I smiled proudly.
'It's past your bedtime, let's get you to sleep.' She said, standing up and helping me on my feet. I didn't get it. Her smile, I mean. She wasn't happy, but why does she smile? It was the goldfish, I thought. Definitely the goldfish, it pleased her enough that she was now smiling.
'kasaan,' I said as I felt her hand on mine, 'I'll win another goldfish for you tomorrow.'
She laughed, and I felt momentarily happy too.
a/n: I don't like unfinished stories… they make me nostalgic.
