Chapter 8: Fair Chance
Touko smiled as Mei hummed and skipped to school. She loved it when Mei was like this; it made her happy as well. Mei turned around, spinning in a circle. She stopped and ran over to her sister, hugging her tightly "We did it!"
Mei grinned brightly and threw her hands up in the air "HA! I SHOWED HYUU!" Touko shook her head and smiled; Mei would never change. Mei grabbed her sister's hand, pulling her along "Come on! I want to see the look on his face!"
"I thought you saw it yesterday." said Touko with an amused smirk.
Mei shook her head "Nope, I was too busy focusing on everything that I forgot to rub it in his face properly."
"...True sportsmanship should be learned from you."
Mei merely stuck her tongue out at her sister and ran, pulling Touko with her "Come on I want to get there early!"
She stopped as she noticed something shining in the grass; Mei tilted her head and reached into the grass pulling out a watch. Touko looked over Mei's shoulder confused "A watch?"
Mei turned the watch noticing something engraved on it. She gently brushed the dirt off, squinting her eyes as she tried to read the faded words "T-Tetsu?"
"Probably the name of the person who lost the watch..."
Mei nodded "It must have been really important. It's very old yet so well taken care of..."
Touko glanced down at the watch "It might belong to a student. Carry it with you and if you find the person give it to them and if not we'll give it to the police station."
Mei nodded and carefully put the watch into her pocket; she got up and grabbed her sister's hand once again, pulling her toward the school "MEI!"
Mei smiled "It's been awhile since we've run like this hasn't it?" she turned to her sister "Let's enjoy it!"
Touko smiled and gripped her sister's hand tightly and switched their positions, this time pulling Mei along "Hey! No fair!" Mei said as she stumbled trying to keep up with her sister.
Touko laughed "You better keep up then!"
-.-.-.-.-.-
Touko and Mei panted as they reached the entrance of the school. They turned to each other grinning; they both laughed loudly "That was fun!"
Touko nodded "I never realized how much I missed doing that."
Mei smiled softly and nodded. She grinned mischievously as an idea suddenly sprang into her mind. She quickly sprinted "LET'S RACE!"
"HEY! YOU LITTLE SNEAK!" Touko grinned and ran after her little sister; she wouldn't let Mei win that easily.
Mei panted as she turned the corner and stopped trying to catch her breath.
"Damn it! Where could it have gone?" She looked up curiously as she heard another curse.
The green haired boy looked down at the ground angrily "Man let it go Tetsu, buy another one."
Tetsu glared at his friend "It meant a lot to me. If you aren't going help then leave."
Mei's eyes widened; Tetsu! She quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out the watch "Tetsu!"
He turned around as he heard his name called and rolled his eyes; great, another fan girl. "Hey look, I don't have tim-" He reeled back as the girl thrust her hand into his face. He frowned and looked down at her hand "My watch!"
He quickly snatched and looked at it, smiling in relief as he finally found it. Mei smiled "I'm glad you found your watch, I thought it'd mean a lot to you."
