Sakaki leaned against the doorframe of the main room, the moonlight illuminating the yard behind him. Akisame looked up from the book in his hands and I turned from my knitting. Miu was lonely?
"You're sure?" Akisame asked. "Miu said that?"
"It's really none of my business," Sakaki sighed. "I just thought you'd want to know. Just passing the information along, so there you are."
I looked down at the long dark green scarf in my hands. I tended to forget that despite having so many people who cared for her, Miu was still a child who had lost her parents. It was only natural that she wished she had them with her to do all the things parents do. What teenage girl wouldn't want her family at her school play?
"The elder sure picks bad times to go out of town," Apachai said.
"They'll be cute high school girls," Kensei said. "I-uh- I mean, I should go for Miu's sake." I glared at him.
I set my work aside and reached over, laying my hand on Akisame's wrist.
"We should go," I said. "We're her family. Why shouldn't we go and support her on such a big day?" Akisame's gazed at me for a moment, then smiled at shut his book.
"Very well," he declared. "We should all be in attendance!"
DHMB: From this point on it will be following along with the HGDK story line a little more. I posted more chapters than I usually do because so many of my chapter were under 500 words. Right now I have many more chapters to post. I just need to try and beta them myself (blegh) then I'll post. Reviews remind me that people are reading this and want updates! XD
