I don't own love live / the characters
The members of muse had gathered in the club room, deciding to put off practice for today to try and help Honoka return to normal, Eri was looking at the empty can to try and find any hints, yet failed to do so.
"So Honoka wasn't in today, I guess a nights rest wasn't enough, though it was worth trying" said Kotori "she could have rung up though to at least let us know if anything changed"
"Err that might be kind of hard" replied Umi.
"Huh why's that?"
"Because we didn't pick up her things yesterday, so her phone is still on the shelf, with her clothes"
"Oh" "then why don't we go return them to her, at least we will get to see if Honoka is 'ok'" explained Kotori.
"It's better than just waiting around here, getting bored" said Nico.
The other girls had to agree, somehow practices and club meetings weren't as enjoy when Honoka wasn't there.
"Well then shall we head off, I'm sure she'll enjoy the company" said Nozomi.
It didn't take them long to reach Honoka's home, even stopping off to pick up some snacks on the way there, Umi opened the door to the shop first "good afternoon" said the girls.
"Good afternoon girls, are you here to see Honoka?" asked Honoka's Mother.
'AHHH stop running around you'll spill your juice everywhere' came a shout from inside followed by laughter
"What's going on?" asked Umi
"It's better if you see for yourselves, she's in the living room, go on through" replied Honoka's mother inviting them in
The eight girls made their way to the living room
'Gah, see you've spilt it everywhere, now I have to clean it up, wait here and don't cause any more mess, please?'
Upon opening the door and entering the living room, they saw Yukiho heading into the kitchen, who stopped upon noticing the group "Ah prefect timing, would you mind keeping an eye on her, she's starting to become a nuisance" she said pointing towards the sofa, where on it sat a young ginger haired child, giggling to herself.
"Is that who I think it is" asked Nico
"Yes, its Honoka" replied Yukiho "don't asked me how because I don't really know either"
At this point Honoka had noticed that there was other people in the room apart from her 'younger' sister, she stood up on the sofa, and looked over the back and smiled and pointed.
"Umi" "Kotori" "Eri" "Nico" "Maki" "Rin" "Ha… Hanawo" then she stopped thinking for a while
"Sexwul hawasmunt" she said with a big grin on her face while pointing at Nozomi, this caused the rest of the group to laugh
"I guess some things are easier to remember than names" said Eri, trying to hold in her laughter in enough to talk
"Oh? So that's how you remember me huh?" said Nozomi looking at Honoka with a grin on her face "well then"
Nozomi quickly made her way round to the front of the sofa and stood in front of Honoka "I guess I'll go easy on you today" she said, quickly leaning in and began to tickle Honoka, who tried to escape the tickling but couldn't due to how much she was laughing, this went on until Yukiho came back.
"Nozomi-san, I think she's had enough now" Said Yukiho looking at the now exhausted and out of breath Honoka "though you've managed to stop her from running all over the place which helps me out, thanks, I think?" Yukiho moved over to where the spillage was and placed a couple of towels over it, after the juice had been soaked up she went back into the kitchen to get some drinks to offer to the group.
"So when did she become like this?" asked Nozomi looking down at Honoka who was now sat on her lap.
"About an hour after Maki dropped her off, I'd just taken her back up to her room and gone back to mine, she started hiccupping like crazy, next thing I know she went quiet and ended up like this" explained Yukiho.
Honoka wriggled off Nozomi's knee and made her way towards the door.
"Where are you off to now?" asked Yukiho.
"Bathroom" Honoka replied, pulling down on the handle and opening the door, and began running up the stairs.
"So Yukiho, do you prefer having and older or younger sister?"
"Older, She's less of a pain that way" Yukiho quickly replied.
The afternoon passed quickly as the group played with Honoka and tried to come up with ways of turning her back, though after a while Honoka was exhausted and fell asleep on Maki's lap, Yukiho managed to sneakily take a photo of it on her phone, Honoka caused some problems when it was time for her to leave as she had firmly grappled Maki's waist and it took some force to release her.
As Honoka's mother took her up to her room, Yukiho bid farewell to the rest of muse, thanking them for coming over and returning Honoka's belongings.
my only problem is that i keep calling Honoka's mother, Honoka's mother, i mean i could use Kousaka-san, but that might just get confusing after a while
anyways, hope you enjoyed it and the next chapter should be soon-ish depending on the time i have.
