Chapter 3

Tails's POV

After taking a bath, I went to dining room. When I got there, I saw 3 plates with food on it on the table. In there, Yakumo and her friend, Sarah sit together. As they notice about my presence, Sarah greets me, "Oh, Tails-san. Have a seat here. We're been waiting for you to have dinner together." She pointed towards the floor or in this world called hanami, a floor made from wheat something like that

"Oh, thank you very much, Sarah-san! I'll take that seat if I may." I sit there according what Sarah pointed. As I sit, I noticed my food on the table. It has orange colors and smells very delicious that makes me drool. Wait, I shouldn't do that in someone's house! It makes me disgusting thinking about that. But to tell the truth, this food looks delicious for me to eat.

"Umm…Yakumo-san, could you tell me about this you food you prepared? I haven't seen this kind of thing in my world, so I'm sorry if I have no idea about this food." I asked her in proper manner

"Hie, you don't have to apologize. Well, this food that I made called curry. Normally It tastes spicy. But you can adjust your taste with your tongue, Tails-san. I made these non-spicy, just in case." The raven-haired girl answered. So this is curry. Guess I have to taste it then.

3rd Person's POV

After they ate, Tails was impressed by Yakumo's cook. He praised her for her wonderful curry that she made, "Yakumo-san, thank you for the meal! It was delicious!" This statement makes Yakumo slightly blushed. She rarely heard someone praise her.

Tails then went to the kitchen, helping Yakumo clean up the dishes and washing them, while Sara clean up the dining table. Tails felt obliged to help since they had gone to this much to him, especially since he's a living animal.

As Tails washed the dishes, Yakumo was impressed by his skill. She never thought that Tails can do this like other human does. Nevertheless, Yakumo felt like should be doing this and helping him. Tails said to her that she should take a rest and relax, but she felt a need to help this young fox.

"A-Ano…Tails-san, are you sure-" She started to say before being interrupted.

"Iie, daijoubu desu. I can do this by myself. Besides, you have done so much favor to me and I need to repay you for this hostile you gave it to me. Arigatou nee, Yakumo-san." He said in polite tune.

She nodded and she went herself making some iced lemon tea for herself, her best friend, and her unique guest.

Tails quickly finished the dishes using his technique that he learned back then in his world. His movement was very swift like some god and within a minute, he stacked them away after wiping them and it's perfectly clean like a diamond. Yakumo had also finished making the iced lemon tea for her best friend and guest, so she brought it out into the dining room. Tails insisted that he carried the tray and soon, Tails and Yakumo, along with Sara who just finished cleaning the table were sipping some tea, talking each other.

"Nee, Tails-san, can you tell me about yourself? I'm very interested about you." The blonde-haired girl asked him.

"Well, since you guys already offered me so much here, guess no harm done telling you about me." Tails then started to explain about his origin. He told them about his hometown and his lived. and also he told them about his big brother, Sonic the hedgehog and his friend. Both girls were very amazed by what Tails has gone through his life. However, Tails doesn't mention the part of the tragic tragedy he occurred with his brother. He wasn't sure whether to tell these girls that part or not. 'Should I tell this part? Maybe I should tell it in proper way. Besides, these girls already had done so much for me. Better early than later, I suppose' As he thought so, he felt something strange and he saw Yakumo's expression was confused. 'What the? So she can read my mind? Now, that's interesting'

All these thoughts abated as the raven-haired girl spoke, "Umm…Tails-san, is there something wrong? You look a bit worried."

"Oh, right. Sorry about that. Just some thought coming through my head." Tails replied her question. Then he continue tell his life to these girls. And this time, he tells the part of the tragic incident he occurred with his brother. He knows that by telling this part, the girls expression will changed 180 degrees. After he finished the story, the girl's expression soon became saddened.

"T-That's horrible, Tails-san…" Both girls were entirely shocked hearing this story. Their eyes were filled in tears and their hands were covering their mouth in sorrow

"Yeah, it is horrible. I can understand the expression you girls showed to me. I'm myself was there, witness that tragedy and the first thing was come to me is sorrow and horrible. Even though I'm afraid of telling this knowing this would happen. So please forgive me if I saddened you girls." Tails look a little sad after told this tragic part. He knows that he really hate this part to be remembered in his memories.

Within a second, Yakumo hugged the young fox sincerely and cheered him up, "Daijoubu, Tails-san. You don't have to be sad anymore. Because we're your friends. And friends support and helping each other like this moment." Tails feel her tears went down to her cheek and he swipe them away with his hand. "Arigatou nee, Yakumo-san. I'm very grateful to you."

Sara also did the same as Yakumo does. "Don't worry, Tails-san. We're always here for you."

Then after that saddened moment, Tails said something to them, "If possible, could you please to keep quiet about this? I don't want to make people sadder." He said in quiet but serious tune. Both girls nodded knowing that they understand why he didn't want something like this to be open public. Yakumo is more understand because she also has big secret on her.

Soon though, it was the girls turned to talk about their life. Apparently, Sara is a British exchange student and he attended Yagami high school last year. She also works as a nun in local church in Yagami and as a waitress in local Chinese restaurant. She also attended the same class as Yakumo does. (A/N: in this story, they both attended 2nd year of high school). Tails already know some of Yakumo's life, including her past with her big sister.

As they notice it was getting late, it was the time for them to rest and as Tails went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, Yakumo was in her room along with Sara, wondering what other secrets her unique guest had.

Little they know that this conversation they had may cause unexpected event to be occurred in the future.
