Haruo sat at the desk in his room rested on his hands. Neiyo's words echoed through his mind, "Which gifts will you bestow on Yuko?" He then grabbed the tablet, he then started to search for different things. He then pulled up a typing application, he typed in.
Gift Ideas for Yuko
He thought for a minute, nothing exactly came to mind. He then had a sudden thought, he went to the internet and started a search for a recipe for Mochi Ice Cream. A few different ones came up, but none for the Tani family. Soon a knock came from the door, "Come in." Haruo said, shortly after Kazuya walked in, "Hey."
"Hey, we're en route to the volcano. The other monsters are following us there."
"Good."
"Get any thing done in terms of bombs?"
"C4, Thermobarics, Fire, and just about any bomb you can think of."
"Good, we'll need all of them."
"I agree."
"..." Kazuya paused for a moment, "How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine."
"I saw you cry the other day dude." Haruo sighed, "Just the weight of your actions all weighing down on you?" Haruo nodded, he then stood up.
"Listen, we should start to gather up the bombs." Haruo said walking out of the room, Kazuya followed him.
Meanwhile Yuko sat in Miana and Maina's room showing Miana how to draw. Granted Yuko wasn't good at it but she still tried. "See that? That's how you draw a house."
"House..?"
"Yeah, it's where you live." She handed Miana the paper and pen, "Here, you try this time." Miana took the pen and paper, Miana then tried her best to draw a house next to Yuko's. Miana's house was slanted, and the roof was on upside down. "Well...you're getting there, just keep working on it." Miana nodded, she continued to draw several different houses, none of them looked like the previous one in any way shape or form, one was even a circle with a door on it. Yuko just laughed nervously, "Don't worry, you're getting better at it." She smiled, "So how's that? Should we call it a day and you can work on what I've shown you?" Miana nodded, "Ok, keep it up." Yuko stood up and headed for the door, Maina then jumped off the top bunk and grabbed Yuko's arm, Yuko turned around, "Oh, Maina what's up?" Maina made a few grunting noises, she pointed to Miana, and then pointed to Yuko, and then pointed to herself. "You want me to teach you some stuff too?" Maina nodded, "What do you want to learn?" Maina thought for a minute, she then looked at Yuko and shrugged. "Oh...well, how about we just start with talking, Miana can teach you some of that." Maina's glare became more intense, she shook her head and then pointed to Yuko. "Why do you want me to teach you?" Maina just growled, "Ok, Fine, just let me go take a break Alright? I'm pretty tired." Maina nodded and let go of Yuko's arm, Yuko then turned and left the bedroom.
She then heard some weird noise coming from Kairi's room next door, Yuko frowned, she walked to Kairi's room and knocked. "Kairi?" Suddenly the noises stopped, "Hellooo? Are you in there? No ones seen you in days." She knocked again, soon Kairi opened the door a little a poked her face through the door.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing, just want to see how you were doing."
"Well I'm fine. So go away."
"Alright..." Yuko frowned, "When was the last time you ate?"
"I...ate this morning. I got up before everyone else did."
"I see." Yuko said, "Well I'm glad to see you're alright."
"Yep. I'm fine."
"Alright..." Yuko then turned and went up the hall to the cafeteria. Kairi sighed and retracted back into her room. She rested her head against the door, she then turned and walked over to the closet. She opened it and Glenn was inside.
"She's gone. You can come out."
"Alright..." Glenn then stepped out of the closet. Kairi grabbed onto his hands, she then looked up onto his eyes.
"I don't...I don't understand this still. I was there with you when you died."
"I don't understand it quite yet either." He said, he then walked over and sat down, "Like...when I died, I know I felt it, but then last night I remember coming back like nothing happened." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "It's strange even for me." He then looked at her, "Maybe it's gotta do with your weird romance novels you read."
"They're not weird, they're beautiful." She said with a glare, "And...I don't know, everything I've read, whenever they die then they stay dead."
"Maybe I'm different." He said leaning back on his hands.
"Yeah..." she sighed and then sat next to him, she then leaned her head on his shoulder, "Glenn...I need to be honest with you about something..."
"Sure. What's up?"
"Originally when I fell in love with you, it's because of what you had become."
"Makes sense considering what you read."
"But later...I learned to fall in love with you for who you are." She smiled slightly, "Your jokes are all older than time, but for some reason they always bring me joy. You're the only person who has ever seen me as an equal, or even as an actual person."
"Well...everyone deserves a chance you know? You can't just define one person by the consequences of their actions, or by the color of their skin, or the size of their pants, or even by what they say. Deep down, everyone is the same, everyone laughs, everyone cries, everyone listens."
"Yeah but...why me though?"
"Well...when you meet certain people, you get what my parents call a 'Zing' in the back of your head. When you lay eyes on them you feel instantly connected. That's what I felt with you, I saw you as beautiful, mysterious, and deep down really kind." He smiled and then looked up at the ceiling and shut his eyes, "If anything, you and me are like Haruo and Yuko. Like them, we were just made for each other." Kairi blushed and looked over at him, she then sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, he then looked her in the eyes, he smiled when he saw the loving gaze she was giving him. He placed his hands on her hips and the two started kissing. She ran her fingers through his hair, and then placed one hand on his chest. She gave him a soft kiss and then rested her forehead against his.
"That's the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me..." Glenn looked at the tears streaming down her face.
"Kairi...you're crying."
"Yeah..." she said, she didn't bother to wipe her tears, "Don't tell anyone though okay?" Glenn just laughed a bit.
"Yeah sure."
