Sorry for the delay. I was really busy this week ^_^'. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I stared at the paper work blankly for a few seconds. The work seemed to get harder and harder every day for me now. I sighed and rubbed my temples, trying to figure out how to do some of it. I heard someone come in.

"Hey Gill!" it was Yuki.

I moaned "What do you want?"

"Nothing,I just came to see if you know when Hikari is coming home?"

"No I don't know when she will be back. She hasn't said anything about coming back which bugs me." It really did, I wanted to know when she would get home so I could see her again, but while I talked to her on the phone last time, she never mentioned coming anytime soon. I kept my eyes still on the paper, even though with him around I knew I had to try and figure this out.

"Maybe you should try skipping that page and going to the next. The answer might come to you if you are working on another file." A familiar voice said.

I got wide eyed and whirled my head around. Hikari was standing there smiling, she looked different. She had more confidence in her eyes and in her voice, her hair was brighter and longer, she might have gotten slightly taller, but I was taller than her no matter what.

"No way..." I muttered.

Her smile grew "Hi Gill!"

I stared at her for a few seconds, trying to figure out that this wasn't a dream.

I finally smiled "Hi Hikari."

Hikari's POV

We were quiet for a few seconds.

"Well, I'll leave you two alone." Yuki said, sounding pleased with himself and he walked out of the room. I looked back at Gill, who just seemed surprised and speechless. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad.

"Sorry I didn't tell you. I thought it would be a nice surprise--"

Next thing I knew was that I was in a tight embrace by him.

"No, it's fine. I'm just glad you're back." He said.

I smiled and hugged him back.

After a few seconds he released me and said "Okay, you promised. Tell me everything that happened."

I stared at him with a funny look "Wow, if I knew you would be that obsessed with the trip, I would've let you go instead of me."

He smiled "Do you know a joke when you hear one?"

"Well, I can't imagine you as a joker. No offense."

He chuckled "Non taken...I kind of knew I wasn't that type for a while."

"How long was a while? I could tell you weren't that type right when I saw you." I giggled.

He stared at me "Sorry for being "anti-social"...isn't that what Elli described me as on your first day?"

I blushed "How did you hear that?"

"I was still in the office." He grinned.

I glared at him "Wow...you're a stalker."

"No I'm not."

I ignored him "I guess the mayor is your dad after all."

He playfully hit me on the head "You have a lot of nerve to say stuff like that right when you get back."

I giggled "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. I was glad I was back, hopefully I would be able to stay here.

Then I realized Yuki was gone, I mean...left the building gone.

"Crap. He has my stuff." I mumbled.

"Well, hopefully he goes to your house."

I glanced up at him "What do you mean?"

He smiled slightly "Well, Father made a deal that once you get out of school, you will have your own house. No you have your own house." He looked at me.

I got even more excited "You're serious."

"Yes, all your remaining stuff was put in the house, it is pretty close to your brothers house but not enough where he could bug you every second."

"I still don't believe it."

"Well we will have to show you then huh?" His smile grew.


"So cool..." I mumbled in awe while I was staring at the house. It looked bigger than I thought it would be. It was a level four house, from the outside there was probably around four rooms and the dinner area. There was a barn next to it and a field for growing things. The field already had six cherry blossom trees that were now full of flowers, plus a few crops like turnips and strawberries. Yuki came out of the barn grinning.

"Koji, Cream, and Miki are in there now, plus there is a new baby cow in there." He said.

I ran into the barn and squealed when I saw a cute baby black calf.

After I was done cuddling it I got up and said hello to the others. I was petting Koji while I asked "So anyway, how were Koji and the others while I was gone?"

Yuki grinned and I swore Gill mumbled something under his breath.

"You should ask Gill. He took care of them."

I glanced over at Gill and stared at him "Really--"

"Yes!" He snapped blushing slightly.

"He just doesn't want to talk about it because he almost puked and passed out when Miley was being born."

I almost lost consciousness laughing. Gill looked as red as a tomato.

I caught my breath "Sorry...heh...I thought that was interesting considering--"

"Shut up..." He mumbled.

"You're right, sorry...--"

"Considering he is Commander Gilligan and all animals fear him." Yuki mumbled.

Gill punched him in the head and Yuki fell to the ground laughing and crying. Gill looked pretty mad and embarrassed.

I smiled at him, his expression softened slightly, I looked over at Yuki.

"Why did you name her Miley though?"

"Cause I like the name."

"Who names an animal that anyway? You could've thought of something nicer."

"Like?"

"Mhm...Cookie or Oreo."

He paused "Cookie and Cream?"

I giggled "That was my goal."

"Come on, I haven't named any of the animals."

"Fine, but no more naming my animals."

I moaned "Fine...wait, Cream was originally my cow. I could've kept her if I wanted."

"But you didn't."

"No offense Hikari but you kind of stink with animal names to."

I pouted "You shouldn't be the one to talk Gilligan."

His blush came back like a Que "Can you please stop with that, I was forced to."

"With what? I'm still puzzled about how and why you did that."

He looked away with a pout. Yuki snickered "Maybe he might be...oh I don't know...gay."

Right away, Yuki grabbed a hoe from the ground and held it defensively to stop Gill from killing him.

"Why would you think that?" I asked.

"How many straight guys do you know with the name Gill."

Gill looked as if he was literally going to kill Yuki.

I sighed "That is the only reason you think he is gay."

"No, some of his outfits prove it too--"

Next thing I saw was Gill almost strangling Yuki on the ground.

I grinned "Yeah, I think Gill is saying he is straight."


I was very pleased with how my house looked inside. There were kitchen utensils already in the kitchen. The main room was green with a table, chairs, a TV, and some frames for pictures. In my room, it had pink striped wallpaper, and a comfortable peach colored bed. It already had some of my posters on the wall and there was more picture frames for my pictures, my wardrobe was there as well. There was a big room upstairs with the same wallpaper as the main room I could use for an office or something, it had a couch, another TV, a telephone, and a table to put some stuff on. There was a full sized bathroom with everything already in it. There was also another room next to mine, I'd probably use it for storage. I was pretty impressed with my house...except for one thing...

"Hikari! The bathroom's toilet works!" Chelsea yelled in amazement.

Chelsea was living with me for right now...I decided to put her in the smaller room next to mine which she already girled up and made it her personal space...like she did with everything else. On the boat, she upgraded her whole side of the room we were sharing.

"That's awesome Chelsea!" I shouted back while watching TV. Hopefully I would be able to get used to her now.

Tada! I hope you liked it! I know this story will come to an end sooner or later (not anytime soon though) so I'm thinking of making a new story with GillxHikari. Oh! And those of you who haven't checked out my new story, please do! :D
