After hanging out with Momiji for a bit I decided to go and visit with Kisa. I haven't gotten to see my favorite little cuz in so long I really can't wait to see her. It should be lots of fun. Plus, I can't wait to give her, her amazing present. They were small things, but I knew she would love them. When I arrived at her house I was first greeted by her mother, "Akemi! It's so great to see you again! How was your trip? Did you meet and cute boys? I just love what you've done with your hair. And the new clothes are so cute. I love this top." She continued to ramble for a few minutes before I was actually able to answer her.

"Thanks, I great to see you again too. My trip was absolutely amazing. I met tons of cute guys, but none of them can ever add up to the one I'm actually crushing on." I smiled and gave her a hug.

"OoooOooo, who's the lucky guy?" she asked.

"Erm… Just someone…" I blushed lightly.

"Oh, I see how it is. I'm not going to get it out of you am I?" She sighed, but was still smiling at me.

"Nope, I'm sure I'll tell you one day though." I smiled back at her, "So where's Kisa?" I stepped inside.

"Oh, she's just in her room." She pointed down the hall.

"Thank you –insert Kisa's mum's name-." I walked down the short hallway and knock on Kisa's door. I heard a small 'I'll be right there.' a few minutes before she opened the door.

"O-onee-chan?" she asked excitedly and as soon as I nodded she tackled me to the ground with a hug, "I missed you so much Onee-chan!"

"I know, I missed you a lot too." I smiled, "And just as I promised, I've got presents." I grinned and handed her medium size bag which held a few items.

"For me?" her eyes lit up.

"Of course silly, you're my favorite cousin so of course I got you a few things."

"Oh, what about Momiji?" she asked.

"Well for him I just got one nice, expensive, meaningful thing, but that's not to say that yours aren't meaningful… I just got him something… erm… Extra special… Wait that still sounds wrong…" I heard her start to giggle as I continued rambling.

"It's fine. I know what you mean." She smiled and began to open her presents. First was a pretty silver chain with a small lamb pendant on it, second was a cute little stuffed doggy, third was a tiger print jacket with ears on the hood, and last was cute little poem book that I thought she would enjoy.

"Thank you so much nee-chan! I love them so much!" she put her dog in between two of her pillows atop of her neatly made bed, hung the jacket up in her closet, place the poem book on her bookshelf, and attempted to put the pendant around her neck.

"What some help with that?" I asked and she nodded in response. She turned around for me and I quickly did the clasp for her, "That looks really cute on you." I complimented.

"Thanks, I really love it. It looks like Hiro-kun." She smiled softly as she spoke his name.

"Yeah, that's actually why I bought it for you. I'm really glad you like everything, but if you end up not liking the poetry book you can just give it back to me. I just thought you might enjoy it. It's not super childish, but I don't think it's too old for you either. Some of the poems are very romantic, and use a more Shakespearian tone so if you need help understanding them, feel free to ask me."

"Will do." She nodded, "So tell me about New York. What's it like there?"

"Well it's huge. In some respects it's a lot like Tokyo, what with the tall buildings and being very fashion oriented, and overly populated. I met a lot of nice people. There were actually two stores where I became a bit of a regular and became good friends with the owners. One was a bookstore and the other a record store. Both were very nice, and on my last purchases they actually let me have them for free as a sort of going away present."

"That sounds really fun. I hope I can go there one day."

"You know what then?" I asked.

"What?" she looked up at me with quizzical eyes.

"When you're older I'll have to take you. It'll be so much fun. We can stay with Anita, and go shopping, and got out and party it up a few nights. And oh my Jesus, Nick, Anita's husband, is the best cook in the entire world so you'll definitely have to have him cook for you."

"That sounds great! Maybe we could even have Hiro come with us!" She said sounding hopeful.

"Of course, that would be so much fun. I'm sure you could even persuade him into dancing with you when we go out." I smiled when I saw her blush lightly.

"Yeah… I probably could." She giggled slightly, "I don't know why, but he's always so nice to me. He's always making sure I'm happy and everything. He sacrifices a lot just to make me happy and I'm really grateful to have a friend like him."

"Yeah, he's pretty much your guardian angel, always there to look out for you and keep you happy. One day when you're older I'm sure you'll realize exactly why he is that way." I smiled and laid on my back on her floor. While I stared at her ceiling I felt really content. And not even content. It was much more than that. I guess for once I was really happy and I don't think anything can knock me down. Except for my parents arguing, but even then I'll just go see Momiji. And that always makes me feel so much better.
