7 yrs later (Sukiyo is 12 and Izumi is 8)
Today is the beginning of a brand new month, and many interesting things have happened.
"When is mom coming home again?" asks a very bored Sukiyo as she plays with her breakfast
"Some time next week" states Izumi as he flings cereal at his sister. Sukiyo dodges the food, and frowns at her brother.
"One more week," Sukiyo says as she looks out the window "do you think we will last that long?"
"Probably, it's not like Dad is gonna let us die, mom would kill him." Izumi says as he positions his spoon toward his sister readying another attack.
"Why did he leave us? He could have at least taken us with him," the dark eyed girl asks turning to her brother, before getting hit in the face with cold cereal.
-----FLASHBACK-----
(It's currently dinner of 2 weeks ago)
"I have decided to go on a trip." Krad announces at the dinner table
"To where?" asks the golden eyed boy as he stuffs large amounts of potatoes in his mouth
"Izumi, don't stuff your face like that, you could choke." Krad says scolding the boy "And, I'm going to a convention…for chefs, more like a cooking convention."
"Why would you need to go to something like that? Don't you cook enough here?" Asks Dark, with a mouth full of food.
"I won't be cooking, I'll be there to get new supplies for the bakery, and possibly get some new recipes to try." Krad says happily
"But mom, if you're gone, who will cook, and keep the house clean, and do all that other stuff that you do."
"Well, for the cooking, I'll make enough food for you guys until I get back, and for cleaning and other miscellaneous stuff, you'll just have to do that yourselves." Krad says calmly
"So, when do you plan on leaving, and how long do you plan to be gone?" Dark asks
"I'll be gone for 2 weeks, and I'll be leaving tomorrow." The blonde says
"Oh, tomorrow." Izumi says as he stares at his dinner plate. Suddenly everything became quiet, the sound of silverware hitting plates is the only noise made.
"Holy Crap tomorrow…2 weeks, mom how can you do this to us." Izumi practically screams as he breaks the silence
"Calm, down 2 weeks is not that long." Krad says while standing
"A lot of things can happen in 2 weeks." Dark says after swallowing a mouthful of food
"Like what?" asks the blonde, while he drops his plate in the sink
"Um…" Dark says not knowing what to say.
"Exactly, nothing to really worry about now is there?" the blonde says while dumping various pots and pans from dinner into the sink
"Dad could accidentally try to cook!" Sukiyo says hurriedly
"I doubt that." States Krad as he puts the leftovers in containers and into the fridge
"You'll be all alone when you go." Izumi says
"No, Daisuke is coming with me, so I'll havesome company." Krad says chuckling. The three groan unhappily as Krad happily hums to himself as he starts to wash dishes.
----END FLASHBACK-----
"If we've survived this far, we can survive the last week." Sukiyo says while glaring at her brother and wiping the cereal off her face.
"Well, since there is nothing else to do here, lets just go to school." Izumi states, "We'll get there earlier than most people, but it gives us something to do." He says
while getting his school bag.
"Little bro, I think you just like going to school. You're 8 years old and you're 2 grades higher than most kids your age." Sukiyo states sliding on her school shoes and getting her bag
"I just like the challenge, that's all." The golden-eyed boy states as he puts his school shoes on
"Dad we're going to school now, see you later" Shouts Sukiyo as she and Izumi walk out the house.
At School (Lunch Time)
"Nanami, how can you stand being with out your mom, don't you feel a least a little bit unhappy?" Sukiyo asks as she almost shouts at her friend before taking a final bite of her sandwich
"Well, I think it's good for him, mom needed a break anyway, besides Dad is a neat freak and he is a pretty good cook so it's really not that bad." Nanami says as he starts to take his lunch out of its bag. "BTW where is Zumi-yan? (Izumi's nick name)"
"He's with his little science buddies, today they decided to start on their science project. The nerds, they have 3 whole months and they're starting today." The dark eyed girl states, as she starts on her second sandwich
"You know, we should get started on our project sometime soon, you can never start to early." The brown haired boy states quietly
"…Well, I guess we can start next week, but you have to think of the idea I'll just do all the other stuff." Sukiyo says as she takes a bite out of her sandwich. Nanami just nods slowly and he starts to eat his Chicken fried rice.
Several Hours Later (At the Mousy-Hikari house) (Night Time!)
Currently, Dark and Izumi are watching TV Sukiyo is in the bathroom looking at her reflection
Bathroom
Sukiyo stares at herself nervously in the bathroom mirror
"Ok I can do this," Sukiyo states as she tries to gain some confidence "I talked it over with mom just in case this happened while he was away." The dark eyed girl starts to take deep breathes to calm her racing heart, then there's and knock at the bathroom door.
"Onee-chan, I need to go pee." Izumi yells from the other side
"Go use the one in mom and dads room!" the girl yells
"How about, you just get out, I know your not doing anything so get out and let me go!" Izumi says as he starts to jump around as he tries to hold it in. Sukiyo sighs and opens the bathroom door.
"Happy?" she says while moving to the side and glaring at her brother
"Yes!" Izumi says running into the bathroom and slamming the door quickly. Sukiyo then decides to confront her problem head on and proceeds to walk into the living to talk to her father
Living Room
Sukiyo slowly walks up to Dark
"Dad." She says surprising Dark. Dark jumps
"Oh it's just you, jeez you surprised me." Dark exclaims while catching his breath
"Sorry, but I need to talk to you about something."
"Oh?" Dark says, as he waits for her to tell him
"Well you see…" Sukiyo starts, Dark looks at her waiting for her to continue
"It probably has something to do with a boy" Izumi says from behind Sukiyo in a singsong voice
"Izumi no, it does not!" Sukiyo screams as her face turns beet read. Izumi starts laughing hysterically
"Izumi, why don't you finish watching your TV show in my room while I talk to your sister." Dark says hoping whatever Sukiyo has to tell him has nothing to do with boys. Izumi grins wide at Sukiyo before going upstairs.
"So, what is it that you want to tell me, and if it has anything to do with boys you are grounded for the rest of your natural life and I'm going either put you in an all girls private school or have you home schooled." The dark haired man states a bit worried
"It has nothing to do with boys, it has to do with me." Sukiyo says as she looks at her feet and not her father
"And that would be?" Dark asks,
"I got my period." Sukiyo says whispering the last word so low that Dark can't hear it
"Your what?" Dark asks
"My period." She says a bit louder but still not loud enough for her father to hear
"One more time." He says
" My period!" she yells while blushing. Dark stares at the girl for a while until what she said sinks in.
"Oh my god! What am I supposed to do? I'm not prepared for this! Why isn't Krad here for this kind of thing? Why couldn't it have waited until he came back?" Dark shouts as he panics. Then, the phone rings
"Hello" Dark says into the phone as he tries to calm down
"Hey" Says the person on the other end
"Krad it's you thank the heavens." The purple-eyed man says happily
"No, this is really Santa Claus." Krad says sarcastically "Anyway, I was just calling to check up on everybody."
"Well right now I need your help, because Sukiyo said she started her red dot thingy and I have no clue at what to do." Dark practically screams into the phone. Krad chuckles into the phone
"I'm missing our little girl become a young woman." Krad says sighing into the phone.
"Hey, there's no time to feel sorry for not being here, just tell me what to do." States an upset Dark
" Ok, ok just stay calm. All you need to do is drive to the store and get her some feminine products." The blonde says
"Can't I just wait until you get back and you can do it for me?" Dark asks,
"No, this kind of thing can't wait. Besides, doing this for her might cause Sukiyo to open herself to you more instead of coming to me for every little problem." Krad says grinning.
"I don't want her opening up to me. I get enough of that from you." Dark exclaims unhappily. After his statement, the dial tone is heard
"Hello?" Dark says into the phone
"Helloo?" he tries again "He must have gotten disconnected." Dark says hanging up the phone and then turning to Sukiyo.
"Go get your brother and meet me in the car." Dark says as he grabs his coat and walks out the door.
At the Conveint store, parking lot
Dark parks the car and tells the kids to stay there while he goes into the store real quick
In the store
Dark, slowly walks into the aisle where the feminine products are located. He looks at all the products confused at what to get
'Tampons or pads?' Dark thinks as he reads the labels on the products.
'Light or heavy? Maxi or always?' Dark thinks confused
"Why must this be so goddamn complicated!" Dark screams aloud in the nearly deserted convient store.
"This is your first time right?" States a female employee who heard Dark yell. Dark looks at the woman confused
"I mean, this is your first time buying feminine products am I right?" She asks. Dark nods
"So is this for your wife or daughter?"
"Daughter." Dark responds nervously. The employee then picks up a package and hands it to Dark.
"Here, these should be good for her." She says with a smile before walking off. Dark then just stares at the package before he proceeds to the checkout.
In the Car
After getting back in the car, Dark hands Sukiyo the bag
"Thanks dad." Sukiyo says happily
" What did you buy?" Izumi asks curious as to why his sister got something and he didn't
"Girl stuff" Dark and Sukiyo say at the same time, before Dark buckles his seat belt then drives home
The Day that Krad comes home
Today, Dark, Sukiyo and Izumi wait excitedly for Krad to come home back to his family
"How much longer do we have to wait?" Asks Izumi as he turns a page in the book he's reading
"Hopefully not much longer." Dark says hoping what he doesn't have to wait another second
"Why can't he just be here now?" asks Sukiyo as she rolls over on the couch, as she gets ready to take a nap. As if on cue the sound of the front door opening is heard followed by an "I'm home."
"Wow, you guys actually kept the place clean. I am impressed." He says as he walks into the living room, setting his bags down on the floor. The 3 family members stared at Krad, as if they expected him to be dead but is alive and standing before them. Soon they all rush towards the blonde man and proceed to glomp him. They all begin to tell him how things have gone without him
"Hey, hey calm down, I can see I was missed. But can you get off me and one at a time please." Says Krad happy that he was greatly missed. The others get off the man, and once again start to talk all together, and try to explain life without Krad.
