Giyuu - I am giyuu tomioka the second youngest daughter in my family and my mother hardly spends any time with me because of how she works at late night shifts. I stay at home while my dad get drunk and hits me whenever he wants to when he feels like it. My sister is off with her soon to be fiance in another part of the village. I tend to my father when he needs me or I just do my regular morning routine like cleaning and cooking. Whenever my father is asleep I'll sometimes sneak out to get a chance to be alone for a while then I go back. He sometimes wakes up before I get home and lashes at me. I sometimes wonder if this is how my life is supposed to be like through kid and adult hood.
Father - Giyuu...Giyuu!.....GIYUU COME DOWN AT ONCE!!!
Giyuu - Yes father I'll be right down.
Giyuu pov : I came down in a hurry so I won't have to be lashed at again by his fists, or bottles of alcohol.
Father - Took you long enough...anyway your sister got proposed today and she wants you to help her find a wedding dress in about nine days got that?
Giyuu- Yes father is there anything else?
Father- NO you brat just go you piece of filth!
Giyuu- Yes father....
Giyuu pov: I hurried out the door grabbing my coat along with some money that father gave me for the dress. She told me to meet her at a local Ramen shop near by and then I saw her smiling happily. Wish I could have that kind of sunshine in me. I came up to her and we both walked in and took a seat next to a window as we then ordered our food. She got soba as I got simmered radish salmon my favorite dish my mother would make me. Then we looked at wedding dress books she bought and ate leaving a tip on the table as we headed out looking for a dress. Then as we passed by I saw a boy with white hair with another little boy that looked exactly like him but had a Mohawk style hair and his hair was black. He smiled at me as the little boy did too. Then without knowing we were at the shop and we saw nice beautiful dresses and she tried some on as I looked for some more for her to try on. We finally found one and we bought it for ¥25.000 and headed back home. It was nearly time for dinner and I then went off into the kitchen preparing food to be served at the table only to be met by mother chopping radishes.
Giyuu- Mother? What are you doing here? I thought you had work tonight?
Mother- Well I did but only to be taking a few days off just to spend time with my two beautiful children.
Giyuu pov- A smile crept onto my face as I then offered her help and began chopping green onions and making white rice straining it in the water. I missed this moment, just spending time with my mom and sister, except that drunk moron. If he wants me to be happy I would be glad for him to dig up his grave and barry himself in it. Supper was done as we blessed the food and ate peacefully though my dad didn't wake up due to him drinking too much.
After the next few days her mother went back to work and she kept going on with life not until eight days went by in the nexted weekend. Her sister was finally gonna get married and soon to be a sister in law. She was happy for her sister but not herself. Not until she was helping her sister try on the dress as an unknown presence came into the house.
Tsutako- Giyuu ready to be my maid of honor tomorrow hmmm?
Giyuu- Yes I am! I'm so happy you get to live your life as best as you can nee-san.
Tsutako- Wait..... Giyuu did you hear that?
Giyuu- What I didn't hear noth-
Tsutako- Shh!..... I don't think we're alone.
