Not a move, not even a blink, that's the state Takao was in as he sat at the door patiently. His grandfather couldn't help but sigh as Takao was up like lightning as soon as he spotted the mailman from the corner of his eye.
The door swung shut behind him as he tore towards the suddenly scared looking man like a bullet. "Any mail for the Kinomiyas!" Takao exclaimed as he eyed the shaky mailman.
"Yeah," he stuttered as he handed Takao the collection of mail. He barely had time to breath a sigh when Takao tore off again. He made his round into the house, dropping most of the mail on Hitoshi's head, causing his older brother to groan in frustration.
"Every day it's the same grandfather," Hitoshi sighed as he dumped the mail on the table. Takao however wasn't paying attention but instead was intently focused on a bulging enveloped, its postmark dictating its source as China.
"Oh, what would we be without the Daily Rei, ain't that right little man."
"Sure thing grandpa!" Daichi yelled as he finished off the breakfast Takao had temporarily abandoned for the letter.
Takao hunched in his chair as he unfolded the paper carefully, his fork digging into the empty plate as the metal clanged against glass.
"DAICHI!" He exploded as he dropped the letter, choosing instead to chase after the monkey-boy who had stolen his breakfast.
That gave Hitoshi the moment he needed to pick up the previously well-guarded letter and hold it up to his face. Slowly he cleared his throat before reading loudly.
"Dear Takao, how I have missed you during the cold nights in China. Just joking of course. The food here is greater than ever. Mao cooks night and day just to fill our bellies and of course I'm still working. But I've never had near as big a tip as the day I had to serve the Bladebreakers. You have to come and visit, just remember to bring your beyblade! Love Rei."
Takao snatched back the letter as he glowered at his older brother. He grabbed the paper possessively as he stared at the bottom where there was an imprint of lips shrouded in lipstick and the words beneath it: A kiss from me to you.
