Chapter 3:

The Unexpected Call

The next month was winter. It got really cold in Hinata House at night, and the whole house didn't have a cooling unit, so each room had a heater by the door and window (if they had a window).

All of a sudden the telephone rang and Naru answered, "Hello… Yes ma'am… hold on one second", she pointed at Keitaro saying, "It's for you."

Keitaro went to answer it, "Hello… MOM…no, not any more… HE'S WHAT!!!!!"

Keitaro put the phone back on the receiver and said, "my father just died', to all the worried faces, "I have to leave tomorrow, and you guys are invited."

Naru was the first and only one to say something, "Keitaro I'm so sorry."
