Past, Present, and Future (Book 4)

Chapter 17: A Brother, A Sister, A Promise

As the sun rose Aichian smiled. She loved watching the sunrise in the morning. She heard the door behind her open, she turned to see Aichi smirking "So I assume you also like the sunrise?" Aichian giggled "Yeah. Do you remember the time we watched the sun rise together and we both made a promise that no matter how far nor how long we wait if we ever get separated from the other we'd watch the sunrise and remember that it connected us?" Aichi smiled "Yeah I remember, Did you ever do it while you were away in America?" Aichian looked at Aichi to see his eyes filling with tears. She gently wiped one falling tear away "Of course I did. I made a promise to and I was determined to keep it. I actually still do it today. I love you Aichi, your the best brother a sister could ask for." Aichi smiled as the tears streamed down his face he walked closer to Aichian as she opened her arms wide. She gently wrapped her arms around Aichi and hugged him tightly. She heard a faint voice say "I did to, you know when you were gone I watched the sunrise and set I still do today hoping one day that we'll be able to tell each other the pain and suffering being separated caused us." Aichian smiled as she walked both her and Aichi to the park "You know Aichi I was thinking the same when I first came to Japan. I guess now's a better time than any, Well when I was in America I'd always think about coming back to see you. I'd cry when I knew you weren't their to share the experience I had. I'd often have to keep a fake smile just to keep the pain hidden from everyone at school and even dad. I missed you everyday Aichi, but when I found out you were being bullied still I begged dad to come back. He just simply said you'll have to wait until your older. So I waited and waited until he finally said that we were going back to Japan. I was worried that you wouldn't recognize me and tried to do my best at keeping it covered." Aichi smiled "Well I'm glad I was always in your thoughts. I went through pretty much the same. I cried when I knew you weren't their to keep the bullies away. I cried knowing my day's and experiences had to be told to you instead of you living them with me. I had to keep a fake smile on my face to hid the pain from my friends, but eventually I couldn't hide it anymore and everyone thought I was just depressed from getting bullied. I just stayed that way until I got some good friends that made me smile and laugh again. I never told them about mine and your tie to the sunrise. I felt it should stay our little secret." Aichian smiled "Well now that we know how the other suffered I'm glad it's over. But listen here Aichi if you ever get bullied by anyone tell me and Kai and we'll handle it! Got it?!" Aichi nodded "Geez both you and Kai with the whole "if someone messes with you call me and Aichian/Kai". I can handle myself you know." Aichian laughed "Yeah well I think it better left to us. You know so we do our job." Aichi shook his head. Suddenly Aichian and Aichi heard to familiar voices behind them "DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE WERE WE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE THINKING THEY STOLE Y'ALL!!!!!! WE LOVE Y'ALL TO MUCH TO JUST LET SOMETHING HAPPEN TO YOU!!! NOW TELL US WHY YOUR OUT HERE AT THIS HOUR!!!" Aichi and Aichian stood up with daggers staring at the two yelling at them. The two immediately backed down and apologized "Sorry for yelling." Aichian and Aichi's eyes fell from anger to apologetic "We're sorry that we didn't tell you two where we were going. It's sort of a promise we made each other a long time ago." The two boys ears perked up at this new knowledge "And what was that promise?" Aichian and Aichi looked at each other and sat down as they patted the seats next to them "Well the promise was that no matter how far nor how long it takes we'll always watch the sun rise and remember the other. It was a promise we made after we found out I was going to America. We've kept that promise ever since." "Yeah, Kai I meant to tell you this but I was never depressed from being bullied, I was depressed because I lost my sister. Well my older sister." Kai and Miwa realized the importance and started to leave when Aichian and Aichi both grabbed their arms and pulled them back down "Now we're going to make another promise, that no matter how far or long we will always love, care, wait, and remember each other." Everyone nodded and watched the sun finish rising. Aichi and Aichian we're now happier to share this promise with their loved ones. It was something they'd never forget.
