I yawned and sat up it bed. It was bad enough that I could barely get any sleep last night thanks to Sis not geting home, but when you stack on top of that that I had an English test today, it made me ready to hang myself.
I sighed and went to the hall bathroom. My alram went off as I started brushing my teeth. Dang it! I forgot to turn it off again. I wondered if I had awakened Kaori......The noise from the kitchen directly aftewords perker my interest.
"What's she doing up?" I asked my reflection.
As I came into the kitchen, Kaori already had breakfast really and was smiling at me.
"Good Morning, my dear sweet little sister. Here's your breakfast."
I yawned. This was going to be good. We both knew what this meant.
"What do you want Kaori...spit it out..." I yawned. "And what are you doing up so early? You are NEVER up before me." I started. Suddenly, it hit me "...you stayed up all night didn't you?" I asked.
"Yes...but you know...I was pretty riled up from what happened outside...that's why. I just couldn't sleep..." Kaori said somewhat rigidly.
I felt my skin tense. Sis........please don't do that to yourself.....please....please don't do that to yourself.....
"Speaking of that..." I growled. "Why in the world..."
Kaori did a spetacular preformance of 'I'm sorry' bows. I sighed a bit.
"Please forgive me!! I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to be home so late...I swear! I got lost...and then...the whole mess outside...."
Kaori?..........what's up with her......she's never like this.....could.....wait.....no......hahahahah what am I saying hahah..... I looked at Kaori for a second. She was extremely red. Wait.....could....I be right? Did....did she find someone she liked??? I'd have to ask Mizawa later about what exactly people do when they're in love.....
"Wow...uh...it's alright. But...Kaori...are you okay?" I asked. "You...well it seems like there is something more wrong with you..."
Kaori stopped. I blinked. She really was keeping something from me....
"No Remu...I'm just fine. Nothing at all for you to worry about. Nothing..." Kaori answered.
Sis.......Kaori.....sis....pease.....don't lie to me..... I thought to myself.
"Remu...could you please make me an extra bento today. I am having lunch with a friend...and I'll need it. Please!" Kaori continued. I stopped. Just a friend? That was what she was all flustered about? A friend? T____T good grief Kaori.......daram queen of the century is sitting in my house and naming herself my sister.
"Gee...is that ALL you want! You had me thinking it was gonna be something major..." I sighed for a moment but then laughed. "That's fine...let me get to it though or I'll be late for school..."
Kaori sprang up and hugged me. It reminded me so much of Mom's hugs........and nearly drove me to tears.
"You're just the best little sister!" Kaori's light voice said.
Mom.....and Dad.........were taken.......from me and Kaori...... I could feel some stray tears running down the sides of my cheeks. NO! Don't be weak! Never be that WEAK. I have to be strong for Kaori....I have to.
Suddenly I realized that time was slipping, and I'd probably end up being late for school if this kept up.
"ugh...let go already..." I said trying to get back control of myself. I walked into the kitchen. "Gee...you really are acting strange..." I continued.
Kaori went off to get ready for work, and I started cooking. Bento....seriously is that all she wanted......I guess I was never going to fully understand Kaori....but I guess that was ok.....
Kaori dashed out of the house almost forgetting her bento she. I sighed and got ready for school.
I met Mizawa on the train. She was jabbering on about a few new boys at our school while I tried to go over English. I still couldn't get why I had to learn both English and Japanese......it was just too much of a hassel for it's own good. If I ever needed to speak to someone, I'll speak to them in calculus and be done with it.
"So what do you think about that?" Mizawa asked.
"Hu?" I asked. I hadn't been paying any attention at all......
"Remu!" Mizawa scolded. "Don't tell me you weren't even listening!"
"I'm studying Mi-chan," I answered. "Unlike you, I actually need to study for English."
"You don't need to study," Mizawa laughed. "English is easy."
"Says the one who learned English while in ENGLAND," I answered back.
Mizawa laughed.
"Sorry Rem-chan," she answered. "I forget how much harder it is for you to hahahaah."
"Ya ya ya...." I answered. "So what were you saying?"
"I was saying.....that the school formal is coming up...." Mizawa answered. "And I was wondering if a boy has asked you out yet."
I all but had a nose-bleed on the train floor. Several guys looked over. I leered at them and dared them to laugh. They all fell silent as the grave.
"MIZAWA!!" I scolded. "No no no no no no no."
Mizawa gave me a shocked look but then resorted to laughing.
"I knew you would get all defesive hahahah," she answered. "But if you're not going to go, at least go to the mall with me and help me find some formal clothes after school."
"And by formal you mean something that will get you thrown out of high school....again...." I joked.
Mizawa laughed back.
"You bet," she answered.
I went back to studying English. It had only been ten minutes before I looked up bored out of my mind. A man was reading a news paper nearby, and I caught a glimpse of one of the pages.
It read in big bold letters: KIRA'S RETURN.
"Hey," I said waving to the guy. "Can I see that page?"
The guy shrugged and handed me the paper. I looked it over and found the names of those Kira had judged. It seemed like.....Kira really did come back....and he was doing good....actual good for the world. I smiled a bit.......I hoped.....Kira was here to stay.......
