"I wish mommy was here. Then she'd help me." Hoshi grunted again when she hit a tangle.
She huffed out a breath and threw her brush down.
She crossed her arms over her chest and sat down on her bed. She glared at the brush.
"Stupid brush. Stupid hair. Stupid tangles. Stupid…. Mommy." Hoshi said the last word of her sentence quietly.
Tears came to Hoshi's lavender eyes.
She didn't mean the last part. Her mother wasn't stupid. Her mother was her best friend. Her mother made everything better when something was wrong.
She wiped away the tears quickly.
She got up off her bed and picked up her brush. Hoshi then started to gently brush through her hair once again.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"Hoshi! Hurry, baby doll! We're getting ready to leave!" Ryo yelled from downstairs.
Ryoichi stood there a minute. "I'll be out in the car." And with that, he went out the front door and headed to the car.
As the door shut behind Ryoichi, Hoshi ran down the stairs. She had on a pink dress that was sleeveless. It had on it purple and light blue flowers.
When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she held out her shoes. "Here, daddy. Can you please help me put them on?"
Ryo shook his head. "Sorry, Hoshi, but we have got to go. Tell your brother to help you put them on, when you get into the car."
Hoshi nodded. "Ok, daddy." She held her arms out, so that he would carry her.
He picked her up and headed to the car.
Ryo bent down slightly and pulled the back door to the car open. He then set Hoshi down in her car seat and buckled her up.
After making sure he had gotten everything, Ryo walked around to the drivers side door and got in.
He shut the door, started up the car, and pulled out of the drive way.
Hoshi handed Ryoichi her shoes. "Here, Ichi. Can you please put them on for me?"
Ryoichi looked over at his sister. "I'm not going to wear your shoes."
Hoshi rolled her eyes. "I didn't mean for you to wear them, I just want you to put them on me."
"Oh. Well, you should have said that then." He reached over and took the white sandals and slipped them onto Hoshi's small feet.
Hoshi smiled after her shoes were on. "Thank you, Ichi."
Ryoichi sat back and mumbled a 'You're welcome'
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Ryo pulled up to the school. He put the car in park and waited for Hoshi and Ryoichi to get out.
Ryoichi leant over and un-did Hoshi's car seat thing and then got out of the car. Hoshi smiled and got out of the car as well.
When they did, Ryo waved goodbye, put the car into drive and drove off to work.
Hoshi took her brother's hand in hers.
Ryoichi looked down at his sister. "What's up with you? You never hold my hand. Nor do I want you to."
Hoshi looked down at the pavement. "Mommy, always let me hold her hand when she took me to school."
Ryoichi looked down at the pavement also. "I'm… Sorry, Hoshi. I yelled at you yesterday, and I shouldn't have. I'm so sorry. Forgive me?"
Hoshi looked up and over at her brother. She smiled. "Yeah, I'll forgive you."
He hugged his sister and then headed off for the kindergarten building.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Once the two siblings got there, Ryoichi walked Hoshi to her class and then told her to wait for him here when school was over.
She nodded and went inside her classroom and sat down.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
