My Childhood With You
Chapter 11
Hotaru had been wandering around the garden when she felt that tell-tale rippling feeling. Kamui and Subaru were coming home. The butterflies that had surrounded her previously scattered as the sky appeared to ripple then two figures appeared in front of her, strong torrents of wind whipping around them. Just like she had, they too, looked different. They had grown. Hotaru smiled, overjoyed to see them once more. Her two brothers back from their journey they took to run from a hunter.
They didn't speak when they embraced, Kamui first then Subaru. They were happy to just lay eyes on one another. Their meeting was special. Kamui was the one who spoke first.
"Hey."
Hotaru smiled and looked down, she didn't want them to see her cry. It was something she had done so much of but it was the first time she had done so due to joy. She managed, "Good to see you again." Through her tears.
Subaru turned when a butterfly landed on his shoulder as he did so, a wave of something started spreading around them. Because time was stopped, it ran to catch up, they watched seasons pass, trees grow taller, flowers spread, the grass grew taller. The house had managed to become something of a ruin.
The three vampires stared in awe at what Hotaru had caused. They then started laughing, all suddenly wiping away tears.
In between his laughs, Subaru spoke, "Do you think you can still reach your piano?"
"Maybe."
