When you're gone...I can still feel your warmth...Within my heart...

The very next day Miyuki arrived at the art studio at 7 in the morning before Papi woke up. As soon as she got her paint pallet together she began to paint. Two hours later Papi came into the room with sunny side up eggs on lightly buttered toast. Exactly the way she likes it.

"Come on over to the table and eat what I've prepared for you darling." Papi said to Miyuki who was on her tippy toes trying to paint a corner of the canvas.

"Okay Papi, I'll be over in just a minute. Let me finish this last part." Miyuki jumped off the ladder at the third to last Step and ran over to the delicious smell of her eggs. She sat down and carefully ate her delicacy. Miyuki has a systematic way of eating her eggs. First she eats all of the crust off her toast, then the white of the egg, and last but not least she sucks out the yoke and eats the rest of the toast. Miyuki smiled widely as she ate. Papi finished first and went over to the painting and started to paint little waves in the distance of the scene.

All week they worked their butts off in order to get this masterpiece finished by its deadline line. Miyuki didn't sleep a wink. When she wasn't painting she was having nightmares about not finishing it in time and about going to a new school with wealthy snobs. She was scared. Especially after hearing from her mother that her sister had already applied there and got in.

The day before her first day of school she was painting the last finishing touches. She was panicked and breathing came out as wheezes and the paint kept on swirling in front of her.

"Miyuki I think you need to take a break. I appreciate your help all of this week but you don't look too good. Why don't you take a nap and I can go make you some tea." Papi asked for the 5th time today with worried eyes. It was noon and miyuki had not eaten much of anything for the past week because of nerves from the painting and school. It was already Sunday and they had started on Monday of that week. Miyuki had not gotten ready for school the next day, in fact she hadn't even gone shopping for her school supplies.

"It's okay Papi I think if we keep going through this home stretch we can get this finished sooner."

"Miyuki, you're not fee-" Miyuki lost her balance on the ladder and fell hard on the concrete. Papi ran fast towards her and tried to help her get up but she shrugged his hand off her shoulders.

"I'm fine Papi!" She stood up too fast and collapsed back onto the floor crying from frustration.

"Miyuki, you need a break. You've been working so hard and I'm very proud of you. You just need to get better. Take some medicine and please take a nap on the couch. I'll keep working and when you wake up we can finish it together okay?" He smiled softly at her and brought her into a warm hug. " please do it for me if no one else. I hate seeing you like this."

"Okay" Miyuki whispered and went over to the couch and fell asleep instantly.

A few hours later miyuki woke back up just as miserable as she had been most of that week but she pulled through. By 2 o clock in the morning the two of them were exhausted and the painting had been finished.

It was a painting of the sea. It was a battle of 2 different pirate ships. One of them had a red flag that showed a giant black hawk. The other one was green with a symbol that had many different marks on it if it was up close that told a whole other story. From afar it was a beautiful eye. There were waves that collided with these giant ships but in the distance there was a light fog that got darker in the shape of an enormous ship that was bigger than anything you would have ever seen before. This was truly a masterpiece that should have taken months.

Miyuki was not going to be able to see the showing of the master piece, but she was proud to have been a large part of its creation.

Then came what seemed like one of the hardest things that Papi and Miyuki had to do. They had to leave each other for another dream. They were the others family. They had been through so much together from Miyuki learning how to ride a bike to the day she had her first "guy friend" to the sweet and bitter end of high school. This man had helped her through it all and this was the day she might lose him forever. He wanted to retire and travel the world to marvel at the art the world created. He was leaving in another month and he didn't know when he would come back.

There they were again facing each other in the doorway. Nothing but silence and the unspoken words of love from grandfather to granddaughter. There wasn't very much to say but miyuki summed it up in 2 words.

"Thank you." Miyuki hugged Papi with all her might.

"Don't cry, I want this memory of you to have you smiling in it." They pulled away and he wiped away her tears. Miyuki managed to put a smile on her face, buy every single muscle in her face hurt from doing so. "That's my girl." Papi smiled back at her and chuckled. "This isn't our last meeting. I'll see you again when you debut. I promised that remember." Papi winked at her.

" Yea." Miyuki said but it was barely audible.

"Here I want you to have this." Papi put the pendant that was on his beret into Miyuki's hand.

"But Papi! This is your treasure!"

"And now it's yours. When I'm gone you can hold the that pendant and it will warm your hand as if mine were in it."

"Papi..." Miyuki struggled to keep her smile on her face but it was so hard.

They hugged one last time and this time when Miyuki walked home she had a pendent in her right hand. She squeezed it tight to feel Papi's hand in hers as tears streamed like water falls. Each drop slowly brought Miyuki back to reality. She woke up in the girls bathroom and a girl with shoulder length pink hair like hers was there cleaning Miyuki's face.

"U-um excuse me!"

"Oh you're awake! I'm sorry for being so rude but you ran into somebody outside this bathroom and hit your head pretty hard. I'm surprised there isn't any bleeding. Although, you do have a bloody nose and that is what I'm trying to get off." The girl smiled with rays of sunshine. Miyuki felt her head and winced at the pain of her throbbing headache. She still felt nausea and she thought she tasted bile in her throat.

"I'm really sorry to put you to so much trouble. Let me just clean myself up and I'll be on my way." Miyuki grabbed the warm wash cloth and wiped of the rest of the blood and was about to leave when the girl caught her arm.

"Wait! What's your name?" She was anxious. Her yellow eyes were scared for a minute but Miyuki wasn't sure if she was seeing things right since she was having so many issues.

"It's Miyuki, Miyuki Satsuki."
