RECAP "You guys look like you didn't get older at all." Sarah said monotonously. Natsume and Mikan smiled at her and the gang gave her a big hug for her compliment. Sarah was annoyed and was trying to get out of the hugs so Jirou heroically came to save her. He successfully pulled her out and every laughed. END RECAP

SARAH POV

I woke up as my droopy eyes blinked slowly trying to make the blurriness from sleep to go away. I shifted and saw Miharu drooling and sleeping happily.

'Stupid twin.' I thought to myself. I slowly got up and made myself walk to the living room. I fell back into the couch lying down. I pressed my cheeks onto the cold and soft gray leather of the couch. I sighed happily and heard a familiar chuckle.

I turned around grumpily and brightened up when I saw those familiar crimson orbs.

"OTOU-SAN" I yelled flinging my body towards him. He grinned and held out his arms. I hugged him and smelled the comforting smell of daddy.

His smell was minty and slightly smelled like the sweet aroma of coffee and mommy. Otou San's hair was messy like usual and he was in his red silk pjs that Okaa-San bought for him.

He grinned even wider and hugged me tighter. I glared at him and held onto him tighter. This kept going on until he ruffled my hair signaling that I won. I smiled with satisfaction.

"Ohayo Sarah." Otou-San said.

"Ohayo Otou-San." I said. Right then, Okaa-San and Miharu came out hand in hand.

They looked at us curiously. Otou-San was carrying me and we were both laughing. Mommy gave Otou-San a good morning kiss and fixed up breakfast for us.

"You know, when Okaa-San first came to the academy, your Otou-San was the meanest person ever. He never smiled, he always burned my hair, and we hated each other. He even bullied the innocent and young me and made me go through the Northern Forest." Okaa-San said.

Otou-San snorted and Miharu gasped. I just stared blankly at okaa-san.

"OTOU-SAN!!! How could you?!?!?!" my stupid twin said. Otou-san laughed.

"That was when I was at that rebellious stage, Miharu. And anyways, Okaa-san was annoying at that time." Otou-San said, defending himself.

Okaa-san looked at me curiously. "Sarah, are you okay???"

I looked at Okaa-san. "I-I…can't imagine Otou-san being mean to Okaa-San. I mean, you guys are so nice to each other now." I said confused.

Otou and Okaa-san smiled at me. "It's okay. It's perfectly fine now." Okaa-San said gently. "Even though there were many times Natsume bullied me, there were a lot more times when he saved me. Okay???"

I nodded and played with Otou-San until breakfast was ready. Okaa-san set the table and called us over. Miharu asked of a story that happened between okaa-san and otou-san.

After the story was done, I asked if I could go to Jirou's house. Otou-san's eyes tightened and okaa-san smiled which meant I could.

"I still don't get why… Why the son of that bast…" Otou-san was interrupted when okaa-san clamped her hand over otou-san's mouth. She glared at him and then smiled sweetly at us.

"Go on, sweetie. But, be back by dinner!" Okaa-san yelled as I walked out of our 'house.' I walked down the huge hall and knocked on the door.

Uncle Tsubasa opened the door and grinned at me. "You're up bright and early." He laughed.

"Uncle Tsubasa, otou-san called you a bastard." I said monotonously with an expressionless face. He laughed and Auntie Misaki came out.

"Ahhh??? What is Natsume teaching you guys?" She said with an angry face. "Crap and Shit." I said again.

Auntie Misaki sighed and put her face in her hands. "I'm going to teach Natsume a lesson…" She murmured.

They welcomed me to their home and Jirou came up to me smiling.

"Ikko. (Doesn't that mean 'Let's go'? Correct me if I'm wrong.) I smiled and nodded. We held hands and walked out of the door.

We arrived at the park and walked over to the swings. We both sat on a swing and said 'Release.' Our pendants glowed and two wolves, the size of a Labrador came out. We played with our wolves that Auntie Nina gave to us.

I looked at what Jirou was wearing today. He had his usual messy midnight hair with his pink streaks. He wore a customized baseball flat cap. He had a grey v-neck shirt with a black cardigan that was unbuttoned. He was wearing Levis for pants and blinding white Nikes.

I was wearing a black and white tunic with a hooded jacket. I wore a beret and my hood on top of it. I wore black skinny jeans and neon Nikes high tops.

Jirou and I were enjoying the comfortable silence but it was broken when a voice squealed my name. I knew what was coming up next so I stepped out of the way.

I crash was heard but I merely just stared at the mess. My best friend Ria was on the floor and now crying waterfalls. Great.

"OI!!! SARAH! Don't do that to Ria…please." My idiotic twin came up to me. I just ignored him.

"Sarah-chan. I MISSED YOU!!!" Ria flung herself toward me with snot and drool coming down her face. I once again dodged.

"Ew." I said with a face with disgust. Miharu sighed and Jirou chuckled. Before I knew it, Ryou and Suni came to hang out too. And then Kouno with Naika.

I sighed. It was always like this. I got about two hours of alone time with Jirou and everyone else came. I sighed once again shifting my face so my jet black hair would get out of my face.

"Ne, Sarah, let's go some where else." Jirou said with a smile. I couldn't help but to smile back. We told everyone that we were heading back home.

"You do something to my little sis and I KILL you." Miharu said with a glare.

"Hai, Hai." Jirou said with a roll of an eye.

"OKAY!!!~" My idiotic bro said happily once again and turned back to play in the sand. I sighed again at his idiocy.

Woah. I sigh a lot don't I? I took Jirou's hand. His hand was warm but cold at the same time. He smiled that irresistible smile again and I once again couldn't help to smile back. We went to the sakura tree that my parents always went to as a kid. I jumped on the lowest branch next to Jirou. Jirou was much taller than me so my head reached his shoulders. Perfect. I leaned my head onto his shoulders and he automatically embraced me.

This was a routine. We both fall asleep for about a hour and a half and go back home enjoying the night's air.

We quietly walked back home and Jirou walked me home even though we both perfectly knew that I was capable of protecting myself.

I walked into our house and my dad was sitting on the dining table. He had a bandage on his cheek and nose.

I gulped. I remembered what I had told Auntie Misaki.

"Sarah…You are so dead…" Otou-san hissed. I squealed and tried to run to the safety of my mother. As I quickly dart to okaa-san, otou-san was too fast for me.

"Sarah…Why is it that Misaki comes and punches me in the face and then lectures me not to teach my children to cuss. Then she goes telling your okaa-san and then she punches me the nose." Otou-san said sadly.

I looked at him guiltily and I pat his hair. "I'm sorry otou-san." I said with my best puppy look. I knew that daddy couldn't resist this.

He sighed. I seriously think I got the sighing genes from him.

"Fine…I forgive you." He mumbled. I patted his hair again. I liked to pat his hair when I was baby to fall asleep when he was carrying me. Then it kinda stuck.

When ever I needed to relax, I found otou-san and pat his head. He doesn't mind because it's relaxing for him too and he got used to it.

Right then, Miharu came in. "You, mister, care to tell me why you're late???" Mommy asked with a stern glare.

"Well, I had to drop off Ria and Auntie Hotaru wanted me to test out a new game for her. It was awesome." Miharu said while giving okaa-san a thumbs up. Mommy brightened up at the name of Auntie Hotaru. I don't know how long they were friends, but I know it was a long, long time.
