Chapter 2: Kaoruko's in love
Hazuka Haruna hadn't gone to school for a week, taking care of a little boy by yourself isn't easy. It was thursday afternoon when she got a phone call from her principal Mr. Tazuna.
"Miss Haruna," He says, " It's been a week since you've come to school is something wrong?"
"No Mr. Tazuna, everything's fine"
" Well you must come to school tommorow or we're calling social security"
"Good bye Mr. Tazuna"
The next day Hazuka go up from her bed beside Hachi and got dressed. She went into the kitchen to fix herself a bowl of cereal when Hachi groggily walked into the room half-asleep.
"What'r you doing big sister?", He asked.
"Making breakfast. Would you like some Hachi?"
"Sure"
They sat on the couch by the small table in the living room watching television
"Hey Hachi", Hazuka said
"Yes?" He answered.
"is it okay if, you know , you'd stay home by yourself today. My teacher says I have to go to school"
" Whaa?... Oh alright I'll stay here"
"That's a good boy Hachi"
After they were done eating their cereal Hazuka went into the kitchen and put the bowls in the sink. She walked back into to the living room by the front door and to her surprise her bookbag was al ready to go and everything (or so it seemed)
"Good bye Hachi see you this afternoon"
She walked out of the front door and down the sidewalk. Her fend Mitsumi was waiting for her.
" Hey Hazuka how come you haven't been to school lately?"
"Um... I've had to take care of something"
"All week?"
"Yeah. It's alot harder than it seems"
"Well what is it maybe I could help"
"Well...um...About a week ago a little boy showed up on my doorstep and I've beentaking care of him ever since. And he's not really a regular boy, I mean He's got these huge furry ears and a tail"
"What??"
"Yeah I know what's up with that? And today I had to leave him at my house alone and I really didn't think that was a good idea. But you gotta do what you gotta do".
"Well it's not really that bad I mean you could've left him at my house"
"Yeah I guess so." Hazuka said as they neared the school.
They walked into their homeroom class together and set down their book bags on their desks. As Hazuka opened her bookbag...
"EEP!" she screamed.
"Hi-ya sis!" Greeted Hachi.
"You've been hiding in my book bag this whole time?!" Hazuka interrogated Hachi angrily.
"So is he what you've been taking care of? He's so cute!" said Mitsumi
All the girls crowded around Hazuka, Mitsumi, and Hachi who was still in his pajamas.
"Kyaa!"screamed one girl look at him,"He's soooooo cute!"
"Eep. Youre right screamed another. " I could just eat him up"
Basically that's pretty much what happened throughout the whole day. The teachers didn't mind they thought the exact same thing about Hachi. After school Hachi, Mitsumi, and Hazuka walked home.
"See you tommorow"called Mitsumi about to go into her house'
"Kay bye!"Hazuka answered.
As Hachi and Hazuka walked into their house Hazuka siad" Hachi you're going to elementary school tommorow.
The next day Hachi and Hazuka went to the elementary school that was by their house. It was a pretty nice school, the kids and all that Jazz. Hachi was assigned to Mrs. Yamashiro's classroom.
"Good bye Hachi see you this afternoon"Hazuka called after him
Once inside Hachi realized that this was all a big mistake
He took a seat behind one of the girls with jet black hair.
"Whoa look at his ears" He haerd one of the kids whisper on the other side of the room
"He has a tail" He heard a red-Headed girl behind him say
After school Hachi walked alone to his house. When he realized the black-haired girl running toward him. Hachi looked down
"Did you come to laugh at my ears like evreyone else?" asked Hachi
" No. I like your ears" she said."...My name's Kaoruko Niamura. Nice to meet you"
" M-My name is Hachi Haruna"answered Hachi as He gave Kaoruko a million dollar smile.
Kaoruko's face lit up bright red.
"..."
"...Well I guess I'll see you tommorow" Hachi said after a moment of awkward silence.
"O-Okay". Kaoruko stammered out of embarrasment.
Once inside his house Hachi walked into his and Hazuka's room and took of his Jacket.
"So", Started Hazuka. She was in the kitchen cooking dinner "How was school Hachi?"
"It was okay I guess ",He answered
"You Know you have to go back tommorow right?"
"Oh boy"Said Hachi.
At the Niamura House Kaoruko sat on her bed and thought of Hachi.
How come I can't get Hachi off my mind? she asked herself. And this warm bubbly feeling in my chest! I can't get rid of it. This feeling that I just want to see him again. This feeling is bothering me like someone just set my Heart on fire. A feeling that-that. A feeling I can't explain in words...
