I looked around. The place was really nice, after Hikari cleaned it so fast.
"Do you girls want anything to eat?" Houkou asked, walking toward the kitchen.
"What do you have?" I asked.
"Umm..." a sweatdrop appeared, "Hehe....I kinda only have ramen..."
"Oriental?" I replied.
"I think so...How about you Hikari?"
She looked down at the floor. "I never had ramen before..."
Houkou's and my heart stopped. She never had ramen????
Usually I would get mad, because...Who never had ramen before? But I felt a strange feeling when I was around Hikari. Like, she was holding back my emotions, keeping Houkou and I happy.
"Well, I guess we should give her the oriental too. That one's the best." I said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Alright, you two go upstairs and check things out. I'll go ahead and make the ramen." Houkou announced.
When Hikari and I found the rooms, we were awestruck. THIS PLACE WAS HUGE!
Both bedrooms had wooden floors, king size beds, a wardrobe, a TV, a glass desk, AND beautiful windows.
I laid my duffel bag on my bed. But the first thing I did was check on Hikari.
"You like your room?" I asked, standing in the doorway. She nodded dazedly.
She walked over and swept her hand across the blankets. Her mouth hung open into a little circle, wanting to speak.
"i-is this really m-my room?" she asked.
I couldn't help but smile. From what I saw in her memories, this must be really different to her. But then again, this is also different for me too.
"Of course." I said. But then I realized something. "We need to go buy you some clothes, don't we?"
She looked up at me, awed again, but then grinned. "Thank you. For everything!" she jumped up on the bed. I couldn't but not laugh and join her.
We spent sometime talking about everything we should get for her. But then I had to bring up THE subject that I couldn't put off.
"So...Have you started your..." I mouthed out the word.
She turned red and looked down at the patterns on the bed.
"I kinda need s-some stuff..."
I grinned. "Good, that means Houkou won't want to shop with us."
We both started to giggle. Then Houkou entered the room.
"Food's ready!" he said. Then he noticed our giggling. "What were you talking about?"
We looked over at his confused face, and we burst into laughter.
This was what I called, "Family"
