A Hero I Look Up To

A Little Boy

December 13, 2007, a baby boy was born from his mother in Richmond, Virginia. His mother, age twenty-three, a businesswoman who manages a family business cafe with dark red long hair, witnesses the birth of her baby alongside her husband, twenty-five, another businessman, the one who owns the family business cafe with short brown hair and glasses. The mother was happy that she finally had her son. As for the father, he was happy too, except... both had to struggle with financial problems. It was a tough decision for the two. It was between taking care of their child, or giving him up for adoption. They chose to keep the child, the boy that they love.

"Hey, honey... what should we name the child?" The mother asked. "How should we decide?"

"I have some names in mind... let me think." The father starts to decide for names. He walked around the hospital room, only to come up with one answer. "Hey, how about Daichi?"

"No... I don't like that name, sorry." The mother turns down the offer of naming the baby "Daichi" due to her dislike. Then, the parents decide for other names...

"Luke?"

"No..."

"Clayton?"

"Not that one either..."

"Then how about Kent?"

"Hell no, I'm not naming the baby that!!"

For long, the names suggested by the father have came up, but none were to her likes. The father was about to give up, until he found a good name for the child.

"Hey... how about we call him... Tobio!" The father exclaims.

The mother heard that name, and finally decides the final name of their son and the end of the decisions...

"Great idea... then we'll name him Tobio!" Their newborn son, was named Tobio Kagawa.

During Tobio's life with his parents, it was peaceful. His parents kept feeding him, giving him baths, a lot of playtime, but the financial problems had gotten worse. Worse... to the point where the business would be closed down soon and Tobio's parents couldn't take care of them. The mother started getting really busy with her business, while the father... let's just say, he left Tobio alone without any care. The mother did stay home to watch over the baby. That's when Tobio's mother decided to find a babysitter... someone to take care of Tobio in their stead. Yes, she told her husband on the phone that she'll try to find Tobio a babysitter.

After weeks of failing to find one, awaits is a ringing phone. What could it be, the mother thought. As she picked up the phone...

"Hello? Mrs. Kagawa speaking."

"I heard that... you're looking for a babysitter?" A fourteen year old boy calls Tobio's house. A polite teen.

"Oh yes!! We've been looking for one for weeks!!" Tobio's mother was happy to have found a babysitter. "When should we meet?"

"Right now, I'm having my part time job. How about when you are finished with work?"

"Oh, I'm working from home. My husband will be done by five o'clock pm. Are you also done with work by that time?"

"Well..."

After a long chat, Tobio's mother and the fourteen year old boy were able to find a time for them to meet. The location is at the Kagawa household, Tobio's home. The mother kept working tirelessly until the time came for the father to come home, and for the teen to arrive. The mother hears a knock on the door, and when she opened it, a teenager with short brown hair, a white dress shirt, and nerdy glasses came. It was the teen that called the household about babysitting.
