“When is my mommy coming back?” Haruhi asked. I grabbed her hand in mine. She looked at our joined hands before she turned her head to look at my tearstained face.
“I’m sorry Haruhi, but your mommy had to go help my mommy. I’m not sure how long my mommy needs your mommy, but I do know that your mommy will be gone for as long as my mommy.” Tears filled Haruhi’s eyes as she looked at me and her bottom lip quivered.
“Mommy won’t be home for a long time then?” I nodded slowly while giving her a reassuring smile.
“That’s right, but we have to be strong for them. We have to be strong, Haruhi. When your mommy comes back, she needs to see that you and your daddy are doing ok. You have to be strong and take care of yourself and him, ok? I’ll do the same with my father and me. Is it a deal?” I asked her while holding out the pinky on my free hand to her.
“Deal,” she replied before wrapping her pinky around mine. We shook the hand that had the locked pinkies before releasing our hold on each other’s hand and pinky and hugging each other.
“Haruhi, from this day forward, we will be strong, no matter what.”
“We will be strong no matter what,” she echoed.

“Aki,” Haruhi called. I got up and moved to her side from where I had been sitting alone in my kimono.
“Yes Love?”
“Can you do me a big favor?”
“Depends on what it is.” She gestured for me to move closer so I put my ear by her mouth.
“STOP DAYDREAMING ABOUT WHEN WE WERE LITTLE!” I fell back and clutched my ear.
“Owwwwwww,” I whined. “That was mean! Why did you do that? My ear hurts now!”
“You were revealing the fact that you told me that my mom was only gone because she was helping your mom.”
“Haruhi, it’s not that bad. We were like eight.”
“And? You understood that your mother died when you were six.”
“That’s only because my dad is very blunt!” We started to bicker with each other.
“Haruhi, Tsubasa?” We turned our heads and saw two of her customers there. I stood up with a smile.
“I should be going now. Bye Ladies. I have my own customers that deserve a lot of love and all of my attention. Bye.” I gave them my signature look before scurrying off in my kimono. After only a couple of minutes, I went over to the twins while they gave Haruhi some sort of pink sweet.
