"It sure is dusty here; I've never noticed that there was a room here" dusts the room
*Cough, cough*
"Are you ok, hope I am not imposing on you and are you sure you want to help cleaning this room with me?" lifts box and stacks it up with other boxes
"Yeah, it's ok sempai; besides, I've come home early to help Taisho and Okami with the restaurant, and seeing that you came and helped them, I am very grateful and so, to thank you for your hard work I am happy to lend a hand out for you", 'and recently I've felt guilty that I couldn't come and help, they've done so much for me and yet here I am almost every day coming home late' Turns around and sweeps the floor
Hikaru blushes 'I should say something and fast!'
"Oh, I am their grandson after all; it's my pleasure to help them" 'felt like lying to her as I came by only by chance, oh well its better than saying nothing, better thank Shinichi for being such a jerk that I ended up here' mops the floor
Kyoko nods and gets a dry towel to wipe the wet floor off 'Now that Taisho and Okami have their grandson here, am I a bother?' and tries not to sob, she enters the room and quickly gone around to dry the floor off.
*Sparkle~~~ Sparkle~~~* flowers in the atmosphere "Well, it's all done! Welcome home and good night" said Kyoko, and she abruptly leaves the room. Right across the room she grabs her pillow to cover her face and starts to cry.
"than…" 'That was odd, her smile was really unnatural. She also left as soon as she finished wiping off the floor and I've never even got to thank her properly' *sigh* 'did I say something strange?' puts futon down and remembers that he did not bring anything with him except his cell phone and wallet, so out he go and shopped for toiletries, fresh clothes and other necessities at the nearby 24-hr convenience store.
"Hold it up there, you're under arrest!"
'What a day! Just when things are getting good…'
A/N: Futon is traditional style of Japanese bedding that has padded mattresses and quilts , can be folded and stored away during the day, allowing the room to serve for purposes other than as a bedroom.
