Chapter 4:

Outskirts of Kisegu Village: 8:26 A.M

"I'll be off now!" A young brunette girl called out to someone as she went out the door. A female voice called back to her before the door closed. "Come back before dinner!" The door closed as the voice lingered for a while. The brunette girl walked for minutes, moving away from her small house.

She walked down a road of tall, green trees and beautiful flowers of all colors. She continued down that road for a little more before she reached another house bigger than her own. She went up the stairs of the patio and knocked on the door, awaiting someone to open the door.

The brunette stood there a minute before the door opened up to reveal a young raven haired girl. The raven haired girl before her was beautiful with amethyst eyes and perfect curves. Although she was beautiful, her eyes looked cold and emotionless.

The brunette smiled widely and jumped to hug the girl. "Hotaru!" The said girl took out a gun like object and shot it at the brunette. She fell down and hit her butt. As she got up, she rubbed her sides which she landed on.

"Geez Hotaru... You are my best friend and you may be a beauty, but you can be so mean sometimes."

The raven girl, who was named Hotaru, looked at her with a blank expression as she held the gun to her face. "Idiot. Don't jump on me like that."

The brunette smiled and stood up, walking towards Hotaru. "Ok, ok. I won't do that again. I promise." Hotaru stood there staring at her when suddenly an older woman popped up behind Hotaru. She had the same raven hair as Hotaru, but it was much longer and much more lively.

"Oh, Mikan! You've arrived! Please come in dear." The older lady told the brunette. The brunette, named Mikan, walked towards the door as she entered the house.

Inside was like a mansion despite the outside appearance. Anyone who was never inside before would be awed, much like Mikan was when she first entered. The walls were painted a refreshing light purple, mixed with a few dark stripes here and there. The chairs looked expensive, made of wood and polished clean. The paintings and pictures of family and others that made anyone stop and look.

It was indeed a gorgeous house that anyone would kill to have. Mikan stepped foot in the house and Hotaru soon followed, closing the door behind her. They were led to the dining room where it was bustling with life.

Eyes fell on Mikan as she entered the room. She bowed respectfully as she greeted everyone with a big smile. "Hey everyone!"

Soon everyone was laughing and joking at the table, a bright atmosphere soon filled the air. Nothing seemed to ever go wrong in her little village. Happiness was always there. "Hey, Hotaru. Look at the moon! It's pretty don't you think?" Mikan looked at her stoic best friend, awaiting an answer.

Silence stood as the raven haired gal stared at the moon. "Yea it is." Mikan smiled at her response as they both stared at the moon.

Realization hit Mikan as she remembered the time. "I have to go! It's already time for dinner and I promised to be back." The brunette panicked as she gathered her stuff. She headed for the door, but before exiting she said her goodbyes.

"Idiot. Next time you should keep track of when you need to go." Mikan pouted but shook it off as she needed to hurry. "Yea I should. Sorry! I really have to go now! Bye everyone, see you later!"

With that she left running back to her small house. Her footsteps got faster and faster, and as soon as she got to the door she froze.

"Oh boy. She is going to kill me for coming this late." Mikan panicked, thinking about what she would receive as a punishment. She opened the door slowly and closed. There was silence throughout the small house. Mikan sighed a bit and started walking towards the dining room. "Um... I'm home! I'm sorry I came late so please forgive me!" She called out to someone. Silence was all that filled the air and soon the brunette girl started to worry.

"Hello?" Still silence.

"MIKAN!"

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Mikan screamed loud and jumped away. She turned to face a pink haired lady, who was just smirking.

"Geez, Misaki. You scared me to death! Almost to death." Mikan glared at the woman in front of her. The pink haired woman, named Misaki, laughed and looked at the brunette. "That was punishment for coming home late. You had me worried."

Mikan laughed a bit and smiled sheepishly. "Aha. Sorry Misaki. I got caught up at Hotaru's place." Misaki sighed. "It's fine, just be sure to keep track of time." She turned her back on her. "Though the next time you do that I won't go easy."

Mikan had sweat on her forehead as she nodded. She knew what was going to happen if she came late again. "Oh that's right!" The pinkette suddenly exclaimed. Mikan was startled and looked at the woman, confused. Misaki turned around and smiled at the brunette.

"I need you to go to the market tomorrow. We need more fruits and cheese. Oh and also some wheat." She told the brunette with a you-better-do-this-or-else tone. Mikan sighed and nodded her head. "Yes yes, I will go tomorrow. I promise." Misaki nodded her head and went upstairs to retreat to her room.

Mikan herself went to her room and lay on her bed, thinking. 'The market is so far away that I don't want to go! But Misaki will kill me if I don't.' She whined a bit in her head and wondered if anything exciting would happen tomorrow at the market.

'Guess I'll have to find out tomorrow.' She slowly closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Kisegu Village: 7:46 P.M

"Hey, hey. I need a favor from you." A raven haired man pleaded to another raven haired boy. The raven haired boy looked up with an annoyed face, and glared. "What?" The man smiled sheepishly. "Can you go to the market tomorrow? Please! We need more food."

The boy just stared and looked away. "And why should I?" The man fake cried and begged the boy. "Do it for the guy who took care of you your whole life!"

Crimson eyes stared at the man. "And we haven't eaten anything either! Just go and get more food! Come on, Natsume!" The crimson eyed boy sighed and went back to his nap. "Whatever." Was his reply to the man standing before him.

"Thank you! I owe you one!" The man said with fake tears of happiness in his eyes. "You already owe me 100 things, Baldie. So one more can't hurt." Natsume said, looking bored.

"I told you to not call me that! My name is Tsubasa!" The man said in a loud voice.

Natsume frowned and stood up. "Whatever, Baldie." He walked away from Tsubasa and into his room where he retreated.

"I TOLD YOU! IT'S TSUBASA NOT BALDIE!" Tsubasa cried out to the crimson eyed lad.

T^T I'm so sorry this took forever... I do t even think it was good. So disappointed in myself. *sigh* Oh well I'll make next chapter better for sure! So please look forward to it! And review! I want to see what you guys think. And Natsume's part was so short... T^T WAAH! SORRY!

Oh and also: I'm changing the summary and title. The summary just changed the plot of where this chapter WOULD have gone. _ ehehe.. And the title I still haven't decided. I might change it after I post this chapter. So until next time!
