Chapter 3: Wishful Thinking

"She left early. Said she wasn't feeling well." "Do you think she'll be alright?" Ryuichi asked squeezing Kumagoro. "Yeah." Shuichi said putting a hand on Ryuichi's shoulder. They went back into the room and noticed a pink rabbit much like Kumagoro lying there on the ground. "Isn't that Haruko's?" Ryuichi walked over and picked it up. "We can return it to her tomorrow." "But what if she gets lonely! What if he gets lonely!" "Calm down Ryuichi-" "Let Touma know I'm out!" Ryuichi ran out the door before Shuichi could say anything.

She was waiting at the crosswalk and heard someone shouting her name. She turned around and Ryuichi bumped into her making her very embarressed and fall over. "I'm sorry!" He said helping her up. "I-it's fine." She brushed herself off. "Umm...You left him at N-G and I thought that the two of you would get lonely so I brought him..." "Ah! Thank you so much!" She took it from him and gave him a hug. "See you tomorrow!" And she waved at him.

Home

"I'm home!" "Hey Haruko. I thought you were going to be back sooner?" "Oh, Sakuma-san brought me my rabbit because I accidently left it there." "Okay. Nami should be coming to get me soon." "Uh-huh. It was nice having someone else around. It seemed more...comfortable I guess." "Would you like me to stay?" "No. It's okay." "I'll still stop by every now and then to make you meals okay?" "Sounds good." Half an hour later Nami (she's his younger sister) knocked on the door. "Bye!" He said pulling his large bag out the door. "Eeks! I'm stuck!" She pushed while Nami pulled and they managed to get him out the door. She walked over to her couch andgave a loud sigh. "It's so weird. How they just kind of...Went away..."

Flashback

Haruko about 4 years old
Kioshi about 11 years old

"Hey mommy..." "What is it Haru-chan?" "I don't feel good..." "Come here." She said pulling her daughter closer. She put a hand on her forehead. "You're running a fever! Come on! Into bed now!" She walked her daughter to her bedroom and put her in her pajamas. "Will you get Kisohi mommy?" "Of course. Kisohi dear! Please come here!" "What is it mom?" "Haruko is sick with a fever and would like you to be with her." Kioshi walked in and looked at her. "Oniichan..." "Mom was right. You look really sick." He came and sat on the edge of her bed. "Here. You can borrow him until you get better." He said. "Thanks Oniichan..." She said as she layed his head in his lap and fell asleep. "She's already asleep?" Asked her mother when she walked in with soup and a wet cloth. "Yup." "She sure does like you Kioshi." She handed the cloth to him and he gently put it on her forehead. "I'll stay here with her mom." "Alright dear." Her mother left the room, closing the door behind. He gently brushed some of her hair out of her face and went to sleep soon after.

Twenty minutes later their mother came in to see how she was doing. "Kioshi?" She whispered slowly opening the door. "Well isn't that adorable?" She decided to leave them alone.

End of Flashback

"Oh well...Whatever. Time for bed anyhow." She got up and changed into her pajamas, did her nightly routine and got in bed, staring at her ceiling. "Kisohi..." She whispered, a hint of sadness in her voice. She promised that she wouldn't mourn for him anymore. She missed him, but he would be sad knowing that she only felt sadness. So she let herself be happy. "Maybe... I should... Go see Shindou-san and Sakuma-san tomorrow..." She thought aloud, drifting into a light sleep.

I know! You peoples might be a little upset 'cause I made this one so short and all and wasn't really all that good either I guess (yeah, I berate myself sometimes) but...Thanks so much for reading this! Heh, I'm doing my best as a 6th grader. I mean, between homework, school, piano, etc., I feel a little overwhelmed sometimes. Anyhow, thanks again and please review if you have the time!

Until Next Time,
Chibi Kumagoro (The Author)
