Chapter 4 – Creampuff 'Kariya' Loves Begins!

"Hai, ohayo". Nod.

"Yo! Ohayo ladies! Wanna take a walk?" One of them just shake her head, refusing the invitation. Another one just nod, politely. They continue to walk.

"Ohayo, how are you my dear?" The girls smile and nod again.

"I'm just fine, Irene-san. My sister too, you know her right?" Introduce the elder one to the woman called Irene-san. The other sweet girl just nodding again, as respect her like her elder sister.

"Oh, yes. She seems so cute and adorable. Do you need something to drink? Koohii, ocha or koocha?" ask Irene-san.

"Ano...iie, Irene-san. We want to walk around and shop something for my sister. You know tomorrow she will start attend to school. Sumimasen." Irene-san startled. 'How cute they are! I wish I could have a daughter as sweet as them, someday'.

"Hai, wakaremashita. If you want to have a drink, just come here again, ok?"

"Ok, see you again Irene-san! Ja mata!" say the bright girl, while the other one just nod, apologically.

They start their walk again. It seems quite busy today, with some people buzzing around like a swarm of bee. The parents also seen walking with their children, holding paper bags containing some of merchandise or maybe some toy. While the children just swanging around, laughing and cheering. The atmosphere was brilliant and scenery is quite beautiful, make the girls enjoy the sigh together. Mamori; the older one is wearing a simple T-Shirt with long foreleg in white and pink strips uphold through it. It matching perfectly with a simple, yet medium jeans which uphold her body with comfortable tight. While Hikari just like usual, still hiding half her face with her hair wearing a T-Shirt with a fire pheonix printed on it, matching with cloth's color setting, black. She just wearing same jeans like Mamori, but in dark blue color, different from Mamori who was wearing black. They seems so suitable to each other, like duo angel who descend to Earth, just to see the people around.

They continue walking around the place and enter from the store into the other store. Mamori looks so concerned and choosy, especially for Hikari. She will ask for more, better one as she always continue to order another cloth. In other term, Hikari just accepted it, although deep in herself she wants all of it to stop as quickly as she can. Then, they walking again and again, until they reached the ice-cream stall. Suddenly, Mamori spotted someone she knew at one of the table near the stall. She quickly ran for it, when realize he have done buying some ice-cream himself.

"Sena!"

Mamori shout out to the small boy. The boy look a bit shock, when heard his name being mentioned. But, when he see Mamori along with Hikari, he drew a smile while making a wave towards them.

"Hai, Mamori-neechan...you too, Hikari-neechan" say Sena and nod to the girls.

"Ohayo, Sena! Ogenki desu ka?" ask Mamori and hugging Sena, like hugging her precious teady bear.

Hikari just look at the scene and just making a face like thinking 'how pity to have been hug in front of the people like that' term. Sena cannot hide his blush and quickly push Mamori in gentle way. Mamori look so confused, but when seeing a tomato face on Sena's face, she suddenly understand and releast him.

"Chotto...hai, genki desu...Ano, anata wa?" his face look shepishly and then take a look to Hikari.

Hikari just make a small smile, and nod politely to Sena. But, she just acting so weirdly when in a second she make a low bow to him. The bow is so low, that seems she wants to kiss her own knee! Mamori look on that scene, and tap on Hikari shoulder which urge her to stand back. Sena is still not use to it, and did not understand why she doing such act like that only when they meet each other. It happens after she recover from her unconscious, back at the hospital about 7 months ago. That's was so strange, not even to himself, but to Mamori as well. Mamori has asked about it, but Hikari just answer it with a simple shake on her head which mean 'I don't know'.

Backflash – 7 Months Ago; back at the hospital

"Kombanwa, Hikari-chan. Ogenki desu ka?" ask Mamori. She just went back from school with Sena. She also bring a bouquet of flowers and a basket full with red and green apple, as present.

"Kombanwa, Mamori-chan, oj- ehem! Sena-kun...hai, genki desu..." answered Hikari, who resting on the bed, with new bandages that been changed just three hours ago. 'So, close! I'm nearly blurted it out!' Hikari talk to herself.

"That's good! You seem as good as new! Oh, here your flowers and your favourite fruit..." told Mamori. She handed it to Hikari, and she let it on the small cupboard nearer. Mamori then take a sit on the chair near the bed, while Sena just standing aside of the bed, but near enough to see the girl.

"Arigatou, minna. It's mean a lot to me"

"Don't mind about it. When you will be able to head out from here?" ask Mamori.

Sena also concerned. After the incident three days ago, Hikari have been put into a tight custody by the doctor to make sure she cannot act dangerously to others or harm herself either. She like being prisoned, and Mamori simply don't like that decision at all. What have the girl done, to be imprisoned like that? But, she managed to escape the custody when the doctor confirm that she is quite stable to accept visitors. That's also mean that Hikari must about to eat 15 or 16 tablets of medicine, just to make sure she is healthy and 'right on her head'.

"I don't know. You should asking the doctor, not me," answer Hikari rather coldly like usual. She did not use to talk a lot, and only react when someone asking or talking to her. Mamori then stand from her seat and walk to the door.

"Ok, then I will ask the doctor. Sena, would you mind watch on her first? Rather talk then not, can you?" ask Mamori. Sena just nod his head, agreed.

When Mamori leave, there are silence around. Sena just don't like the sensation, but did not know how to begin the talk. Being around with Hikari, making him felt like a weirdo. He also could sense that the single bright blue crimson plus with green emeraled color; color of Hikari's one eye just stare to him.

"Do not feel scare of me. I'm also a normal human, just like you" Hikari's word emerged from her lips.

Sena hesitated. "iie...I'm just...I not have a topic to talk with you, well you know what..." Stopped. he began to play with his fingers again, as the sign to make himself comfortable.

"Oh, I see...Why don't you ask me, something now?" Sena raised his head, and saw Hikari still staring at him, with a smile on her lips.

"Ha?...Oh! There are something I want to ask you, Asahito-san...", his word have been cut out when suddenly Hikari spoke.

"Please don't called me that. You can call me Ai-chan if you like." Sena shocked for a while. What on Earth happen now?

"Ai-chan? Why? I cannot called you that. You are older from me," asked Sena in confused tone.

"I'm not older you see...I'm just younger than you...," Hikari try to explain.

"No...no...you are same age as Mamori-neechan! Couldn't you see that in right way?" ask Sena again. Is Hikari mad or what?

"..."

"Asahito-san..."

"Please, call me with that name. If you insist to not use it in public, you can use it when we are alone. You can called me as Hikari-neechan in front of Mamori-chan or anyone else. It's your own choice," told Hikari, but Sena could sense that she was hurt by his statement.

"But...you..."

"No...you must use it, or I will not talk until the end," urged Hikari. Sena become elert again. He did not want Hikari to going beserk again. He must give up for her sake.

"Ok...if you like it" told Sena with a sigh. "But, you must answer me. Honestly"

Hikari stayed for a while. Then, she asked, "What you want me to answer?"

Sena cleared his mouth. He calmed himself and asking, "Why are you – I mean Ai-chan (forgive me, Kami! asked Sena himself) – refer me as 'you'*? The sentence you use is somehow like you have known me for ages, or likely we are a siblings. But, I just accidently meeting you just three days ago, but at that time, you just calling me like...you know who I am. Do we know each other?"

* You in these sentence is different, because Japanese always refer someone using their family name (if just meet or not know the person well), second name (by family, closed friends or anyone who given permitted by the person as well), nick name (always used by family and closed friends) or using their country's name, their childbirth country (always for imigrate and tourist). In this matter, Hikari just use 'you' like she know Sena mostly in her life.

"..."

"Answer me"

"...I don't know either. It just my instinct. It just like...what you say, deja vu"

"De-ja, vu?" Sena become interested.

"Yes, deja vu. But, it seems quite blurry on my mind. But, I know somehow you must call me Ai-chan too," told Hikari gently.

"I think like I'm know you, was seen you about almost on my life, but I cannot describe when and where...but something I have concerned after I'm collapse and I believe it"

"So, what is it?" asked Sena hurriedly. Mamori may come into the ward anytime now. If that happens, he maybe cannot have a chance to talk to her again.

Hikari just silence. Without warning, she barely stand up for herself. Sena is so shocked to see that and went straight to caught the trembling girl. But, his action was stopped with one of her hand, that stand between him and her. It seems that Hikari want to get up for herself, without any help. Before he could ask what she want to do, Hikari suddenly make a bow that lower than any bow that he used to see, and the bow is directly for him! He become extremely shock and confused at the same time. Trembling, he try to stand her up, but she refused to do so.

"Asahi- no...Hikari oh– Ai-chan! Stand up! Why are you doing like this?" ask Sena, who in panic mode when she still did not want to stand after he urged her.

"I must do this...or it's like I'm not respect you like I was told too" answer Hikari. She look so weak to bow like that, but she still want to do it.

"Who?!" asked Sena, in high voice.

"Someday you will know, and should I called you "oji-sama" from now on? Now we are an equel, right?," told Hikari with a smirk on her lips. This make Sena left with a silent yet full of shocked in his mind.

Present Time – Now

So, until this day, Hikari used to call him as her 'oji-san' or 'oji-sama' almost all the time. It feel so weird being called by that by the girl who are older from him. But, for her it's so simple like having a chocolate in her mouth to chew around. While he refer her as Hikari-oneechan (after she have been adopting by Mamori parents) better from Hikari-san in the public, he must (truly he have been force to use it) called her as Ai-chan when being alone or without anyone around them. It's look like no sense at all, to call a stranger her close name like that! But, he must do it to not make Hikari sad or downcast; which may effect her healthy right away.

The three of them walk together, with ice-cream for each of them. Suddenly, Mamori see a new cloth shop near the area, that just opened 2 days ago. She dragged Hikari along with Sena to the shop and was delighted to see bunch of new cloths was selling on that shop. Her eyes a sparkling with joy and it could be seen by Hikari and Sena. Without a blink of eye, Mamori vanish – enjoying herself to select the cloth, which suitable for Hikari. The other bags, from the previous shopping was handed up for Sena to care. Sena elbowed Hikari slowly.

"Since when are you here? You two seems shopping a lot."

Hikari sigh. "About 8 hours I think. We arrive at this area about 10 am, this morning".

"What?! Are you joking or what?" shriek Sena in disbelief.

He known Mamori well since their childhood, so he knows that Mamori is some kind of person who seldom waste her time wandering around just to find a simple cloth. Hikari just shook her head, sign as 'true' answer. He than take a look at Mamori who now busy matching the cloth onto Hikari body. But he find the answer as well. Mamori, who thinks Hikari jumps into her life was coincidence, making her happy and never feel lonely again. Sena feel so glad that Mamori have found something to cure her loneliness and become more energetic yet happier than usual like he see now. The other seller just walking by his side.

"Nani o omotome desu ka, sir?" asking the seller hearty. She also smile to Sena.

"iie. Miteiru dake desu. Arigatou, nee-san" tell Sena and asking apologically.

"Hai, sumimasen..."

They have spent about two hours in that shop. After that, they went to noodle shop to eat something. The sound that come from Hikari's stomach in the cloth shop make Mamori elert, that they did not have a single meal before went out from their house, since the morning. There, they eat miso raamen with tamago (Hikari), nabeyaki udon (Mamori) and karee soba (Sena). Hikari looks so hungry when she actually order 2 other bowl to eat, after finish the first. Then, Sena excused himself to go to the toilet for a while. As waiting for him, Mamori bring Hikari to the cake shop. Mamori have check the time and knew that they must went back to their home faster. Meanwhile, Hikari is seem tired and must back to rest, because she still not healthy enough yet. Mamori try to calm herself from her excitement, when suddenly sees her favourite menu. Hikari on other side, is curious to see many cookies, cakes and pancakes at the shop.

"Welcome, Mamori-san. What do you want for these evening?" ask the seller. They usually know Mamori, because she is their regular customer. Before she could answer, Hikari asked her about the thing she wants to buy.

"Mamori-neechan, are you familiar with these place?" ask her while her eyes setting to the seller.

"Hai, I always used to buy creampuff at these shop," answer Mamori shortly. "Their creampuff is the best of the best in these country, especially their special menu, creampuff 'kariya', you see".

"Is that true, onee-chan? Can I have one?" persuade Hikari. She did not ever tasted this thing yet, but from Mamori explainations, it seems quite interesting and yummy too.

"Ok, you try it! I guarentee that you will like it 100%!" tell Mamori excitedly.

"Sir! Kore, onegai shimasu", direct her when she saw a big yet beautiful creampuff 'kariya' on the setting. The seller take one of it and place it on weight machine. "Take another one, this one, this one and this one"(Ano, kore, kore, kore!)

The seller look so shock after marking the weight of each creampuff. "Whoa! They are more about 0.5 to 1 gram! What a sharp eyes you have, Mamori-san!" But, they also feel scared with Mamori seriousness face when choosing it, that time.

"All of it only 4000 yen. Arigatou gozaimasu. Please come here again", tell the seller after get the money from Mamori.

"There...here you go, one of most valuable creampuff 'kariya'. Try it!" Mamori give one of them to Hikari.

The creampuff looks so delicious to eat, and with a one bite, she closed her mouth. 'Herm, it also small and get enough hold for just one bite!' stated Hikari slowly. Suddenly, Sena joining them back. He realized that Hikari is eating something in her mouth. She looks stunned and chewing it slowly, maybe enjoying the food instantly.

"Mamori-neechan, what are you giving to her, just right now?" ask Sena curiously.

"E-rm? Ow-hh, sh-wee jus-t try the-see..." answer Mamori with full mouth of creampuff 'kariya' she ate just now.

"Ha? Can – she...?!" Before he could argued back, Hikari stand up quickly and scream as loud as she could. Both Sena and Mamori only can cover their ears from burst out, caused by Hikari 'roar'.

"ITTTTTT...WASSSSSSSS...SOOOOOOO...DAMMMMMMMMDDDDD ...YUMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!"

When she done with it, Sena could see that Hikari's eyes is filled with joy and astonished like she just found something that 'she lost' somehow. Hikari then turn around and facing Mamori, with making a 'puppy like eyes' on her, simbolised 'request' or 'please granted my wish, my older-sister'.

"Onee-chan...do you have another creampuff yet?"

Sena's jaw dropped in comical way. Mamori is shock for a while and then give another creampuff to her. Hikari took it and swallow it slowly, as like it was treasure for her. Mamori is pleased with that. She took Hikari and Sena hand, urge them to walk.

"Ok, it's time to walk home...Hikari-chan, I will teach you how to make creampuff 'kariya' at home. We will make it at any time we want to eat it, ok?" Her asking has been answered by Hikari's nod in agreement.

'Yeah,yeah...here comes another creampuff 'kariya' lover...',groan Sena to himself.
