remembrance

Inside the Kamisato estate, Ayato held Thoma's hand as his younger sister sat on his lap.

The three children were sitting outside one of the rooms of the estate - the room of Ayaka's and Ayato's mother.

For the past few hours, they'd been hearing their mother scream in pain - to the point where the guards outside could probably hear the woman.
The kids would also hear a few voices belonging to some of the maids that worked in the estate.

"I'm worried for mom..." Ayaka spoke as her older brother smiled and pets her head.

"Don't worry Ayaka. I'm sure she's go to be okay." Ayato says as Thoma nods.

Silence soon filled the place, soon being interrupted by cries of an infant. There was a bit of shuffling and the crying came to a stop. The door was slid open and one of the maids smiled when she saw the three children - who quickly got from the floor.

"Can we go inside now?" Thoma asked and the woman nods before stepping aside; making room for the kids to head in.

In the room was Miss Kamisato in bed - tiredly smiling at the small sleeping baby in her arms. When the woman took notice of the three children, she'd told them to come over - which they did and sat beside her bed.

Ayaka takes a look over at the small baby sleeping in her mother arms and joyfully squeals.

"So cute!" Ayaka exclaimed as her mother let's out a wearied laughed before saying, "Indeed he is. This is your younger brother."

"What's his name?" Ayato asks as he carefully leaned over to get a better look at the baby. "Ayashi." The woman says.

Few years had gone by and little Ayashi was now a young toddler - on the look out for Onikabuto beetles with Ayato and Thoma.

Thoma held Ayashi's hand as he frowned at Ayato, who was not listening to him.

"Ayato, we should head back now, it's almost time for you to head back to your lessons." Thoma scolded Ayato.

"It's fine Thoma. I can always catch up later." Ayato casually said as Thoma grew annoyed.

"Ayato! This the fifth time this week! Do you have any idea how angry your father will be?!" Thoma exclaimed as Ayato only hums in response and continues searching for Onikabuto beetles.

Thoma huffs and Ayashi looks up at the blond. "Why is Thoma angry at big brother?" Ayashi asks and Thoma looks over at the small boy before crouching down infront of him and smiling brightly.

"That's because Ayato is a big lazy bum and refuses to do his work." He happily says as Ayato stops in his tracks and turns his head over to the other two; angrily shouting, "Don't tell him that! I'm not that lazy!!"

It was a warm after noon and Ayaka was sitting on her bed with Ayashi. Ayaka was busy doing her younger brother's hair as she quietly hummed a tune while Ayashi was busy drawing.

Ayaka soon finished braiding her brother's hair and happily smiled. "All done." The girl says and Ayashi stops what he's doing while his sister grabs a nearby hand mirror and hands it over to Ayashi.

Ayashi takes the mirror and looks at himself in it - absolutely amazed by his sister's work. "This is amazing Ayaka!" Ayashi exclaimed as the girl chuckled.
