Well, I cut this chapter short because usually, I write about 200-500 words a day so I have time to practice my clarinet and such, BUT on Wednesday I fell on the track so I SCRAPPED my leg, I can't bend it and the nerve is exposed so yay, and NEXT weekend I have my band trip to Schlitterbahn and I might not get to go in the lazy river or on different rides if this stupid cut doesn't heal! (•ˋ _ ˊ•) So that is why this chapter is about 500 or so words shorter than it should be, next chapter should be longer!

"OK, I think that it is time that I send you back since it's getting late, and well... Your father would kill me." Runa turned around to face me when she suddenly tensed up and became as pale as a sheet, as of course, I had to turn around and guess who was standing there- My father, he is always appearing in the "convenient and coincidental' times. "Well, if it isn't Runa, long time no see. I take it you are well"? Runa seemed to now be sweating and her ears were twitching. "Ah well- I've been doing good, erm... Imma just to head out now, you're free to take Kuro now, we have just finished planting some flowers since Kurai was out today. Uhmm I'm going to take my leave now...BYE"! Runa ran inside extremely fast./span/p

~✿On the way back to Tenjin-ya✿~
"Anyways, Kuro you should stay away from Runa at any rate, she is a bad influence on you I must say." - "Huh, she's really nice to me at least, yeah sure she can be a bit much most of the time". The rest of the walk back was pretty much silent

~ ✿The Following day ✿ ~
"Oh Murasakino, it's been a day or 2 since I've last seen you, how are you doing"? "Kuro it's sure been a bit, anyways since you are here, think you can help me a bit? I need you to go take these to your mom, Ginji-sama went through the trouble of getting them for her, and I'm very busy right now". "Y-yea sure, you can count on me for this, I promise to deliver these ingredients or whatever is in this bag".

Walking the path down to 'Moonflower' I noticed that the sakura tree blossoms were starting to close up and the leaves were beginning to show more through. It's always mind-boggling to me how nature can do things like that. "Mama, I'm back! Also, I brought the things that you told Ginji-Sama to pick up, I'm dropping them off for Mirasakino". "Ah, Thanks Kuro you are always such a great help, anyways it's your turn to help for dinner- which is why I got curry, me and your father have something to discuss, so I'll be gone a bit, just don't burn down the place". After my mom Aoi had closed the door Aka popped out from behind the counter. "ANYWAYS, I am in charge of the stirring because we all know that it's what I'm best at"! I just had to ignore him and his stupidity as I put up my hair with the hydrangea hairclip that I got a few days ago from Runa for teaching her a fish recipe.

"I opened one of the cabinets that Aoi had kept the knives and cutting boards in, then I went to the fridge and grabbed potatoes, chicken, and some other lesser ingredients. Once I got back to the counter I carefully yet swiftly cut the required ingredients. Before I could even go and grab some of the other things Aka threw; like literally THREW the ingredients into the pot. He quickly switched to stirring the food, while I was still in shock at what had happened.

✿About one hour later✿ true "Mother and Father walked in through the front door, just as we were setting up to plate dinner. "Oh mom, Dad, we just finished making the curry and were about to plate it, I think it turned out great this time"! As I went through with plating the food, Aka went and started to make some tea to go with the curry. "I can't wait to see how much you two have improved. Hopefully one day you'll be able to cook just as well as your mother". "Heh, maybe, but who knows".

At any rate, I have something to discuss with Aka so, he needs to sit next to me, Kuro why don't you sit next to your mother today"? That was a little suspicious what was so important that it had to change our seating arrangement? Usually, when we sit in a row like this I'll sit next to Dad since he's just my favorite parent, since he may spoil me a bit.

"Well, anyways I have a band concert today so WEEEHEHEH- I have a solo part so wish me luck it sucks because I'm on 1st clarinet for EVERY SONG and I still don't have those high-note names memorized yet... so errmm...YAY!
