Smile
I layed on the couch, Sno curled up on my chest, as I played with his ears, and paws. Suddenly, he stood up, and began barking, his ears, and tail standing up, as he ran towards the window, his curly tail wagging excitedly. "Alright, Sno, we know, the girls're here.", Yusuke` laughed, as he opened the door, four girls entering the house. "Hey, girls!", "Hello, ladies.", Kuwabara, and Shuichi replied, greeting the four girls, as they all walked through the door.
"Oh, so you're awake, and you're ok. Thank goodness.", Came a new, and unfamiliar voice, as I looked up to see a girl with dark-brown hair, and eyes, wearing a dark-pink dress with white sleeves, looking at me. Standing behind her, was girl with dark-blonde hair, and light-brown eyes, wearing a long, black dress with white sleeves, her eyes also focused on me. "U-Um, who are you?", I stammered, as Sno jumped into my lap, barking happily, and wagging his curly tail. "Oh, um, my name's Keiko, and this is my friend, Shizuru. Nice to meet you!", The girl with the dark-brown hair, Keiko, replied, gently shaking my hand. "My name's Ammy, and this is Sno.", I answered, smiling, and shaking Keiko's hand, before pointing at Sno, who barked excitedly. "Nice to meet ya, kid.", Came the girl in the long, black dress, Shizuru's, voice, as she too shook my hand, smiling softly at me, before gently petting Sno's head. "I have a cat at home named Eikichi, and she's just a-little bigger than Sno. Can I hold him?", Shizuru asked, sitting on the couch beside me. "Oh, yeah, sure!", I answered, gently handing Sno over to her. "Oh, um, Keiko?", I asked, looking up ay Keiko, who stood in front of me, holding a little, blue creature in her arms. "Yes?", She answered, looking curiously at me. "Th-Thanks for saving me. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you.", I replied, a hint of sadness in my voice. I couldn't help but feel a-little hurt, and a-bit guilty over the fact that I had caused so much stress, and worry for Keiko, and her friend, Shizuru. "It's not a problem, don't worry about it. I know I would want someone to do the same for me.", Came Keiko's voice, bringing me out of my thoughts, as I looked up to find both her, and Shizuru smiling sweetly, and happily at me. I smiled back, appearing happy, however, my heart breaking behind this smile. 'Smile, though your heart is breaking'….
