8-Old Friends

A/n: A, I'm not telling you who so read and figure out, chapter.

A middle school aged girl sped through the streets of Tokyo intent on getting to her destination in as little time as possible. When she got to the destination her pace slowed and she saw a figure sitting on the swings.

"Hoi! What is it you wanted to talk about?" Kira smiled to her friend while joining her on the swings, where they first became friends.

"…" Her friend was silent.

"You're going to make me guess aren't you? Well fine, let's see what topic the clouds want me to talk about. Is it about a boy?" Her friend turned a slight pink at how well Kira knew her. "Ah, so it is about a boy." Despite being the wild child Kira had a clear head, was very perceptive, had a slight charisma around her, and was probably the wisest, as well as the oldest, out of all the third years.

"I'm confused."

"Aren't we all? Anyway talk to me."

"I just don't know."

"Well I'm sorry to break this to you Kii-chan; I'm not psychic contrary to popular belief."

"The boy, I've written him off as a flirt, who it seems like a lot of the girls with level heads have written him as too. I told that to him recently and he just kind of vanished. I mean I haven't gone through the school hunting him down, but it's kinda odd without him. I just don't know if I like him or not."

"You like him alright, but as a friend right now. How long has he been by you and flirting? I'm guessing for at least a month, possibly more. You've gotten used to his presence and written his flirting off as being your friend. When you told him he was a flirt he probably took it the wrong way. Find him, tell him you want to be friends, and see where it goes from there." Kira smiled to her friend.

"Arigato Ra-nee-chan*. I should head home before Obasan starts to worry." Kiichi slowly stood up off the swing.

"Anytime Kii-chan. I guess I should head home too." Both girls departed their separate ways at the park's entrance.

*Ra-nee-chan – What I'm attempting to convey here is that the girls grew up together very closely so they often use nicknames with each other Ra(Kira) and Kii(Kiichi). Oneesan, one-san, neesan, nee-san, onee-chan, and nee-chan are all common ways it appears to say older sister. With this I'm also attempting to convey that the girls feel like sisters growing up so close to each other and that Kira is probably almost six to seven full months older than Kiichi despite being in the same grade. (Ex: If Kiichi were to be born in February 1995, then Kira would be born in late August 1994. Being born so late in August, most likely close to September, Kira would be put in the grade below those born between January and July 1994.) I hoped that got my point across…anyway back to the story

A/n: I really actually wanted to add onto this chapter some but I felt like it wouldn't work well…so I think I'm going to leave it short.
