Zenigata [Gakuen Babysitters]

Chapter 8 : Remembering

"Tatsuo! Ryoko! have you studied your English today?" the past Mikiyo asks of her twins she had just cooked lunch for them and they had a surprise waiting for them a good and bad one to be precise.

"Done mom! Tatsuo doesn't know the difference between Sun and Son what a dimwit! gwahahaha!" the little Ryoko said as she ran to the dinner table "I just misspelled it!"

"Oh really? well 'The son is burning in the-' you even don't know the difference between Sky and Ski Hahahha!" Mikiyo smiled at her children's interaction.

"Mom! Mom! look! 'The son is burning in the ski' Tatsuo wrote that!" She giggled as she platted the two's favorite lunch "I-im not good at spelling alright?!"

She sat down to the sight of the twin's pupils morphing slightly like stars in their ocean blue eyes, one feature they both seem to have when they see something they love and they love their mother's cooking.

"Thanks mom!" they said in sync and looked at Mikiyo, she nodded and smiled warmly at her children but the smile she wore broke as she felt a wave of guilt rush over her because she had to break the news to them.

"Tatsuo, Ryoko do you know why mom asked you two to study hard in English?" she asked calmly earning 2 head tilts and 4 puffed cheeks because they were chowing down the food in the end after a hard self-thinking session the twins shook their head.

she sighed "because we will have to move to the united states in 2 months" the twins gaped "B-but why?! does that mean I won't be able to see Mira-chan and Aya-chan again?!" Ryoko asks continued by Tatsuo "and I won't be able to fight Shin again?!"

"d-don't worry we'll come back someday! but for now we have to do what dad says..alright?" she was greatfull that her children understood the situation may a heavy heart be present in the acceptance

"Alright mom" they said and sighed, how to describe Mikiyo and Ichinose's guilt is hard.. taking away their children away from their roots and friends is heart breaking but it's a must for their business is in dire need.

"Look on the bright side, this last month mom will take you both to Nara not only on the weekends! but on the weekdays too IF you both promise to study harder and do your homework, sounds good?" the twins cheered up and beamed at their beautiful mother, her light green hair flowing with her bright blue eyes that she's greatfull that she inherit to her twins.

"I promise! what about today?!" The little Tatsuo asks with the stars re-forming in his eyes Ryoko did the same and Mikiyo just couldn't resist their cuteness! "Alright then, you both take a shower first while mom prepares our stuff" they nodded in excitement and ran to their rooms.

Mikiyo sighed a relief "I need to make their last months with them the most memorable with Shin-Kun, Aya-chan and Mira-chan!" The kind angel of a mother said to herself.

-Timeskip-

"I-im sorry we don't have a choice, Ichinose-kun's business would be greatly aided if we were to move!" Mikiyo said in guilt to the three mother of her twin's friends.

"It's alright Mikiyo-san we're sure the kids will understand fully, and besides fate could bring them back together, bring us back together too" Yumiki Jistu said.

"Yeah! Not only our children will miss you and yours but we well also miss Mikiyo-chan!" The cheery Kimi Yumetsuki said with the equaly cheery Yuna Akito nodding behind her.

"T-thankyou! Please wait for me! For us!" Mikiyo said in genuine greatfullness that her friends are going to wait for her and her children's return.

"B-but can we keep this a secret first? this is our last month before we stop visiting to pack everything up" Mikiyo said a bit sadly as she watched the five elementary schoolers giggle and laugh their hearts out in front of the Café they all used to spend time in.
