Going Home
Izumi and Keiko came out of the room walking to the kitchen. "Thank you for helping us and letting us stay the night Ms. Pinako." They were all sitting at the table. "Your welcome Mrs. Izumi, I loved helping this child." Pinako pick up her pipe and lit it, taking a deep puff. Keiko over the past couple days had gotten better of trusting Izumi but still had a lot of work to do before her trust others especially men. Izumi was ready to go home to see Sig again; she missed his strong arms around her. "You can stay another night. We loved having guests." Pinako said, still smoking her pipe. "No thank you Ms. Pinako, I'm getting homesick and I miss Sig my husband." Izumi got up from the table. Keiko did the same. "Well if I can't talk you into staying at least we can make lunch for you guys." Wirny got up and head to the cubby board. "Thanks Wirny but no thanks, I have a place I want to take Keiko. I've planned this day just for her." Izumi smile at Wirny and gave her a hug. Wirny shrug her shoulders. "Tell Ed and Al I said hi." "Don't worry Wirny I tell them for you."
It only took a few minute for Izumi and Keiko to get ready to leave. As they walked from the house Izumi could see that Keiko was still in pain, she picks her up to give a piggyback ride. The child laid her head on Izumi shoulder as she walked toward the train station. "Where are we going Mrs. Izumi?" Keiko said, as they got near the station. Izumi smile she brought the tickets at a booth. Keiko look confused as they got on the train. "It a surprise little one, a day just for you." Izumi said, finding a seat to sit on and letting Keiko get off her back. Keiko sat by the window looking outside as the train started. "Keiko I want to know if you want to do training with me. I teach you how to fight back when someone try to hurt you." Izumi asked out of the blue. Keiko turns around to face Izumi. "I don't know if I want to." She turned back around to face the window again.
It only took a couple of hours to get to Dublith. As they walked to a restaurant Keiko was in awe. "How may I help you?" A sweet old lady asks them as they walked into the store. "We would like a small table please." "Okay Miss, follow me." The old lady said, walking in the hallway and stopping at a room with a table. Izumi and Keiko stepped in as the lady shut the door. Picking up the menu as they sat down Izumi suddenly felt a familiar pain. "Oh no, not her not now." It was the only thing Izumi could say before putting a hand on her stomach and one over her mouth. Coughing up blood she notices her vision become hazy. "Mrs. Izumi, what wrong! Please be alright!" Keiko scream as Izumi pass out. The last thing Izumi saw was Keiko standing over her sobbing.
