Chapter Eleven: The Feelings and Memories from Nekoma.
7 years, ago. Kyami's small house in Nekoma City.
Kyami sat up in her small pink bed and jumped out. She quickly looked out her window. It was nice and sunny outside, she was super excited.
"This is great!" she said to herself, putting on her bunny slippers.
"MMMOOOMMM! DAAAADDDDD!" she yelled running through the short halls to her parents' room.
"Good morning, Kyami." Her mother said, smiling as she helped her onto the big bed.
"What's up?"
Kyami glanced next to her mom where the right side of the bed was empty, she frowned.
"Where's daddy?" she asked.
"Right here princess!" her father exclaimed sneaking up behind her picking her up, earning a shriek of terror and excitement.
"Dad!" Kyami said hugging her father.
He pounced down on the bed with her, giggles coming from both of their mouths.
"Oi, Kyoshi, stop it, you're going to spill my coffee." Kyami's mom said, glaring at her husband.
"Hey, daddy, can you make me breakfast so I can go outside already! Please please please!" Kyami ordered.
Her father slowly sat up, "Kyami, what do you do outside?"
Kyami stared blankly at him, "What do you mean?"
He laughed, "Well, dear, whenever I see you outside all you do is sit on the sidewalk and stare across the street."
Kyami's head perked up, "Oh yeah, well, I like to watch the kids across the street play volleyball in their backyard. You see daddy, they have a small fence and I can see them throw the ball in the air." She crawled off the bed.
"And sometimes I can see the taller boy jump up and hit the ball. It cool!" she exclaimed grabbing his arm.
"Now, can you please come feed me?"
Her father glanced at his wife, a little confused with his daughters strange weekend activity, she took a sip of her coffee before saying,
"She's so your child."
He glanced down back at the eager Kyami and gleamed, "She sure is." He scooped her up and carried her away chanting 'Breakfast Breakfast'.
After breakfast Kyami quickly got dressed into her normal weekend outside-outfit. It included of jean shorts and a bright orange shirt that was bit too big. She was quite small for an eight year old, it didn't bother her.
She ran outside with her towel in hand and set it down on the sidewalk she put her bottle of juice down and sat down 'crisscrossed-apple-sauced'.
It was only a few moments when she heard the shouts from the boys behind the house.
"Come on, Kenma, play with me!" the loudest one said.
Kyami had to be super quiet to hear the others reply, "You should find someone else to play with you." The quieter voice complained.
Kyami leaned to the right to see just beyond the small three foot fence, she watched in awe as the louder, taller boy jumped up a hit the ball with his hand letting out a loud, "YOSH!"
Just then she heard the quieter boy shout, (he wasn't as quiet anymore.)
"Kuro! You almost hit my D.S!"
"Oops…" the louder boy said.
Beyond the fence, Kuro watched the small Kenma as he turned around to go get the ball.
Kenma picked it up, noting how it missed his D.S by an inch, he glared at the ground before turning around and aiming at Kuro.
"Kenma don't throw it at m-" he was cut off by his instinct to duck from the ball flying his way.
Kenma's throw was so "powerful" that it flew past the tiny fence into the front yard, and that was pretty good for Kenma.
Back out front Kyami watched as the ball bounced into her feet, she smiled and picked it up.
Kenma and Kuro ran from outback and Kuro walked up to Kyami who was now standing up holding the ball.
He stopped and starred at her, he was about a few feet away from her.
"U-Um…t-t-this your ball?" she asked, shutting her eyes, holding it out.
Kuro nodded, but didn't take it.
Kyami opened her eyes and glanced at him.
He was standing there with a cheesy grin on his face, he laughed, "Come on, girl, throw it to me."
She blinked one more time, but then the smile spread across her face.
She tried her best to remember how he hit the ball.
She nodded once at herself, took a step back, threw the ball in the air, jumped up and hit the ball with all her power.
(*authors note: Kyami is just adorable \^v^/…continue.)
To Kuro's surprise she hit it well; he bumped it up then caught it. He smiled.
"Hey, want to come and play?" he asked.
Kyami didn't believe it, she quickly nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, p-please!"
Kuro laughed at her, he turned and gave Kenma a nod saying that it's okay to come over and say hi.
He turned back to see Kyami folding her towel and picking up her drink.
"But you're going to have to meet my parents first." She said, "But I'm sure they'll be okay with it." She had the look of determination.
"Okay!" Kuro said, grabbing Kenma's wrist and followed Kyami up to her door, but stopped as she opened it.
"Is it okay for us to really come in?" he asked.
Kyami nodded, "yup, they won't mind."
Kyami walked into the small house, leading them into the kitchen where her parents were sitting at the table still eating and doing some work.
They stopped eating when they saw Kyami accompanied by two boys' each a little older than her.
"M-Mom, Dad, these are my friends…" Kyami said pointing to the boys.
Kyami's father narrowed his eyes at Kuro; not bothering to notice the small Kenma.
"…Kyami, who are your friends?" he asked, turning in his chair completely to face the three children.
"Oh, um this is…" She looked at Kuro for help, he understood.
He stepped forward, placing a hand across his chest in a fist.
"Sir! I am Tetsuro Kuro!" he motioned Kenma over, who did the same gesture.
"And this is my best friend Kenma Kozume, Sir!" and with that they both bowed.
Kyami's father starred at them blankly, "It's like their from Shingeki no Kyojin." He mumbled to himself, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Y-Yes daddy and they wanted to know if I could go play volleyball with them." Kyami said shuffling her feet.
"C-Can I?!" she asked, almost lunging forward with her words.
Kyami's mother smiled sweetly, "Nice to meet you boys, but could you please go wait outside while Kyami and her father talk."
The boys nodded and did what they were told and waited outside patiently.
Kyami father sat in his char still rubbing the back of his neck, deep in thought.
"Kyami…" He started.
"H-Hai!?"
"Don't tell me…these are the boys you watch…"
"T-They are! Their ball bounced across the street and I threw it back to them and then THEY were the ones who asked if I wanted to play!" she exclaimed losing a little hope.
He sighed, "Kyami…"
Her mother (came to the rescue) put a hand on his shoulder.
"Kyoshi, she been watching them since the beginning of spring. And she hasn't made a single friend since we've moved here, and now she finally has the chance to." She whispered.
"Well, maybe you should've put her in school." He snapped back at her.
Kyami's mother glared at her husband then quickly covered it up with a small irritated smile.
"Well, dear, what's it going to be? A yes or no?"
He looked up ay his daughter who had a few flickers of hope in her eyes. He sighed.
"Okay…why not."
Kyami squealed and jumped onto her father's lap hugging his neck, "Thank you daddy!"
"Hey, hey, listen." He gave her a stern but kind look, "If anyone of them try to touch you or do something bad to you, scream and kick them in their special spot, okay?" he finished with a wink.
Kyami giggled, "Yes, daddy.
She ran back to the door.
"Come and check in, in about thirty minutes!" her mother ordered, just as Kyami shut the door.
she looked out the small kitchen window and watched her daughter and her friends each lock hands, look both ways and then walk across the street.
"That taller boy…he looks like would protect Kyami." She laughed, sitting down next to her husband.
He was sitting rubbing his neck again, she slapped hs hand, and he gave her the "WTF" look.
"Your only twenty-nine no need to do things like that." She said, sticking her tongue out.
"Mazume." He held her hand, "When will we be able to afford a school education for our daughter?"
She huffed, "Kyoshi…one day we will, but for now all I can do is homeschool her. Anyway," she stood up, "she is a good help at the bakery."
"Ha, yeah she probably eats everything!" he laughed.
Kyami walked into the backyard, and smiled at the little line they made with rocks.
"Is this for dividing the game?" she asked.
Kuro nodded, "Yep…"
"Whose house is this anyways?"
"Mine." Kuro said, "Kenma over there," he nodded towards Kenma, "lives a block away. But he's always here."
Kyami glanced at Kenma and smiled when he looked at her.
"I'm happy, I finally have some friends." She said.
"Huh? You don't have friends?" Kuro asked.
"No. you see I just moved here back in January and I'm homeschooled, so I don't get to know many people." Kyami stared at her feet.
"Well then, it's good you have us, right?" Kuro grinned.
Kyami grinned back, "Yeah!"
"OK…" Kuro threw the ball in the air, "Here we go!"
They played until sunset, Kenma coming in and out of the game(s). When Kuro's mother realized how late it had gotten she ordered the boys to walk Kyami home.
Kuro, grabbed Kyami and Kenma and walked across the street carefully, like he was their guardian.
Kyami liked it, but Kenma on the other hand hated it.
"Kuro…" he complained, "I'm not a baby."
"Still," Kuro said, "you and Kyami are so small that the cars might not see you."
Kenma sighed in response.
When they got to the other side, Kyami walked up to her door before opening it she looked at the boys, with a questioning look.
"Um…how old are you guys?" she asked.
Kuro laughed and pointed at Kenma, "He's nine-and-a-half, and I'm ten almost eleven." He finished with a smile.
Kyami laughed, "Okay, well, I'll see you soon…" she reached for the nob.
"Wait." Kenma said, to their surprise, "C-C-Can you hang out tomorrow also?" he asked.
Then Kyami's Mother opened the door, "Welcome home," she looked at the boys and nodded, "evening boys."
"MOM!" Kyami jumped up, "They want to know if I can play tomorrow also!" she practically yelled her face puffing-up as she held her breath.
Her Mother blinked, "W-Well, I can't see why not…"
"Thanks, Mom!" Kyami said, she waved goodbye to Kuro and Kenma, before running into her house.
"I'm so happy, I'm so happy…~" she sang to herself as she went to her room.
Present day.
Kyami starred at Kuro, heart racing at the familiar warm smile. Those feelings from years ago over took her body.
Kenma saw Kyami and Kuro starring at each other; he quickly walked up to Kuro, and told him about how Kyami is pretending to be a boy.
Kyami watched, looking for what expression he would do, but being Kuro he just chuckled and smiled, he took a few steps towards Kyami, slightly lifting his arms open.
She took a step forward, then he, until they were only about three yards away from each other. She smiled, the verge of tears coming.
"Tetsuro..." she mumbled.
"Ky…" he stopped short, and winked.
She laughed and started to jog, in which quickly turned into a run, in which was joined by Kuro, who met her half way.
Kyami ran so fast that when Kuro caught her in his arms, he stumbled back a bit but holding tight, lifting her off the ground.
"Kuro…!" she breathed into his neck as he held her there.
"Kyami…" he whispered, just for her ears, "How's my little sister doin?"
She laughed as he let her down, their hands linked together.
They didn't realize everyone was watching until, Shoyo, yelled out:
"HA! GGGAYYY!"
But was quickly shut up by a smack to the head by Tanaka.
Kuro and Kyami glanced at the stares from everyone, boy, do they have some explaining (lying) to do before the game.
