Hanagaki Hanabi

07

Age: 5

Kindergarten school was just done and Hanabi with her twin is waiting for their mom to pick them up.

"Hana-nee?" She answer with a simple 'hm'.

"Can I buy a candy?" She smile at her twin then reach for her purse.

"Here, buy me some also." She said giving her purse to her twin.

"Okay." Her twin said happy then run like a happy child he is (he was a child afterall). Even though she doesn't want to leave her twin alone, worried he might get lost. She knew her twin needs time to be independent to things like this.

"Give me your money." She heard shoutings. Her being the curious kitten look to where the voices were located.

Her eyes widen to see middle schoolers ganging up to two boys the other one maybe 3 to 4 years older than her while the one is maybe years younger than her.

'The one seems to be protecting the other one.' She thought looking at the scene.

'Is he protecting his older brother? Should I butt in?' Having a second thought on butting in or not... She decided...

"Oi, what are you doing to them?" She was aware she's just 5 but— nevermind. She's older mentally.

"What do you want kid?" Said the leader.

"Leave them alone and pick someone your size." She said bravely not missing a beat.

'Wish, I won't get beat up here.' She thought sweating beads nervous on what will be the outcome. Though she wouldn't show it outside.

"What will you do if we don't?" She sigh.

'I don't wanna do my card.' She thought groaning mentally.

"You'll see." She said in a monotone voice.

"Grab the little girl she might have a money." She smirk.

'So this is how you play.' She close her eyes irritated.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" She scream at the top of her lungs. It was a piercing bloody scream that can damage ones eardrums.

"S-SHUT UP KID!!!" The leader yelled but she didn't listen and continue screaming.

"What happened here?!" The teachers came. The middle schoolers were doomed.

"Are you bullying this kids?" The teacher ask furious.

"Uh—"

"To the Principals office now!" The teacher yell. Middle school, Elementary, and preschool are just in the same school but different buildings.

"Are you okay Hanagaki-chan?" Her teacher ask her.

"Ah, hai." She answered with her soft voice. It was cute since she was still a child.

"Then I'll be going to get that brats." Hanabi wave at the teacher goodbye. Hanabi look at the two boys.

"Are you two okay?" She ask the two boys.

"Ah, yes thank you nee-san." She smile at them gently.

'Nee-san?' She thought. Since it was weird since she's the youngest between her and her twin.
