Chapter Three: Let's Play!
Kuon and Kyoko were locked together for a short period of time. Kuon's legs were starting to numb, but he didn't really mind. Besides, Kyoko's sobs were beginning to fade away.
Kyoko cried out everything she kept inside of her. She never got the chance to shed any tears because she never wanted her mother to see her as a baby. When she had held onto her tears for a whole day, she would cry in the middle of the night until she fell asleep. Most of the time she couldn't even cry at night, for the walls were thin and she was afraid of waking her mother. Kyoko usually kept her pain to herself. But now Corn-chan was with her. 'Everything would be okay as long as Corn is here.'
Kyoko could cry no longer because the sound of the flowing stream below them and the tone of Corn's resonating voice repeating "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." soothed her. Furthermore, Kyoko's cold, wet bare feet were beginning to feel paralyzed.
Young Kyoko had finished her crying and looked up. Above her she could see a long slender neck and a beautiful shade of yellow hair clinging to it. Kyoko trailed her eyes on his nice pale skin and caught Kuon's eyes. His eyes were a mysterious looking brown. But wait... When Kyoko had first spotted the boy, his eyes were a stunning shade of blue. How is that possible?
Kuon held onto the little eyes that stared at him. "There. Better now?" He smiled a peaceful smile.
Kyoko smiled back, ruefully. "Yes, thank you." Her voice sounded weak from crying.
Kuon could see that the fragile girl before him wasn't completely healed. But even though, he knew that she would never be 'completely healed.' All he could do for her was to take her mind off of things. While he was still cradling her, he stared into space, thinking of something to talk about. Suddenly, a commotion intruded his thoughts causing both Kuon and Kyoko to scan the bushes. There wasn't anything suspicious about the plant, but when then it began to shake and a small creature jumped out causing Kyoko to flinch in Kuon's arms. Then a second animal chased the first in a happy manner. They seem to be playing with each other. "Squirrels!" Kyoko cried out in amusement. 'Wow, deja vu.' Kuon chuckled silently to himself.
Then Kuon had come up with an idea. "Hey Kyoko-san, do you want to play a game?" He laughed for a split second as Kyoko smiled and her eyes glittered at him.
"What kind of game?" Shou rarely played with Kyoko. He would only play 'big people' games. She didn't really know what that meant, but as long as he was happy, she would play along. One game he liked to play with her was call 'badminton.' He told her to make up a special move to make it more challenging.
"Hm.. Let's play tag, or would you rather play something else?" Kuon looked at her hoping she would like tag, for he didn't know many group games.
Kyoko's happiness meter skyrocketed. Shou told her that Tag was for babies. Kyoko liked that game though. "Let's play tag!" She beamed at him.
"Okay... Not it!" Kuon stood slowly with Kyoko still in his arms. He was a little shaky at first, but soon he balanced out. He walked out of the creek keeping a firm hold on Kyoko. When he had reached dry land, he sat down upon the rich green grass. He still held on to Kyoko when he dried their feet and put on their socks and shoes. When he was finally finished, Kyoko was squirming about. Kuon laughed out load and Kyoko peered at him.
"Let go already! By the time you're done with everything it would be night time!" Kyoko scowled.
"Alright, alright." Kuon chuckled at how impatient she was. He released her and she roamed around just as he predicted. "Hey Kyoko-san, remember to close your eyes and count to twenty."
"OKAY!" Kyoko was very restless. She wanted to play very, very much. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20... READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!"
