"Tag your it!" Yelled Shou while throwing his hand roughly on Viollets shoulder pushing her, she was able to catch herself and throw herself running at shou. It was useless, Shou was older and faster than Viollet. Shou made a sharp corner and Viollet tripped over her own feet from falling into the tall unmowed grass.
"Ow Shou no fair." Viollet mumbled looking up only to see the towns only doctor, Hirohito, also known as Viollets uncle. "Hi, Hirohito." Viollet said shyly, she was embarrassed to have fallen in front of him. "Hirohito sama" he corrected her smiling.

Viollet and Shou stopped the game of tag to talk to Hirohito. "Viollet" Hirohito sternly said making sure Viollet was paying attention. Since Viollet was only 4 years old she could be distracted by anything, unfortunately her uncle knew she was never going to get rid of this cursed trait.

"Your father is getting weaker by the second." said Hirohito. Shou's heart sank as he was old enough to know what this leads to. "I'm very sorry but instead of waiting till Friday to go and get his medication , I need you to go tonight." He said

-Few minutes later-

"Viollet?" Spoke Viollets father without even opening his eyes. "Yes daddy, I'm here" answered Viollet. "What are you doing?" Questioned Viollets father. "Viollet and I are heading to town to get you your medication" Shou answered "You'll feel all better when we're back daddy" said Viollet as she turned towards him with her money in her satchel. "ready to go!" Shou walked over and wet a wash cloth in warm water, and put it on Viollets dad's head listening to him cough and suffer killed Shou's heart, not that they were both that close but Shou did not want to see Viollet sad.

Now that Shou and Viollet are gone so here is my chance - thought Herohito

Viollets father breathed heavily in the silent room it was all Herohito could hear. "Are you hungry" Herohito asked "Y-yes a little b- but where are Viollet and Shou?" Now Viollets fathers memories have started to fade. "They're safe with me." Herohito said as he gave a drink to Viollets father.

-1 day later-

"WE ARE HOOOOOOOMMMMEEEEE DADDY!" Viollet sang so happy to make her daddy feel better. Shou quickly covered Viollets mouth "SHHHHHH, he could be sleeping!" "Oh" Viollet whispered as she filled her mouth with a bubble.

They walked into the room but she knew Viollets dad had to be awake now from Viollets screaming, but no, Viollets dad was still asleep and his heavily breathing had disappeared, Shou's eyes widened and he could tell Viollet was suspecting somethin...

They walked into the room but she knew Viollets dad had to be awake now from Viollets screaming, but no, Viollets dad was still asleep and his heavily breathing had disappeared, Shou's eyes widened and he could tell Viollet was suspecting something as well. "Daddy?" Asked Viollet, Shou panicked and through his arm in front of Viollet stopping her in her tracks, Viollet gasped at the sudden interruption. Shou ran up to Viollets dad and started violently shaking him screaming "Hey w- wake up" several times he looked at Viollets traumatizing expression as Viollet dropped the pill bottle leading to it shattered on the floor, she ran up to her dad and strayed to scream as tears flowed down her face. Shou's heart was breathing so fast he did not know what to do, he ended up standing up slowly leaning his head on Viollets dad's chest listening. Viollet knew what he was doing so she stopped and stood quiet not even breathing herself. No sound it was silent Viollets dad was dead. The clouds moved over the sun making the room dark and empty.
Shou put his hand on Viollet's shoulder as she leaned up against her Daddy and started to break the silence with her tears.
all she could do was violently cry into her dad's arms.
