Sengoku Night Blood [Megumi] Drabbles

Katakura Kitako [10]

Once upon a time...there was a young girl who came from a high esteemed family.

She was the youngest out of three siblings. The second daughter to the Saitou Family.

But there was nothing special about her. Nothing that would make the young girl seem unique compared to her older siblings.

The girl's parents showered her siblings with praises galore, while she only received bought items as compensation.

Every single thing she did to catch her parent's eyes had no effect.

Whether it music or studying or fine arts...nothing seemed to work.

The girl silently wished her parents to give her the warmth of a family-like atmosphere.

But it would never be granted.

However...one day the girl and her parents were invited to a party set up by a children's hospital.

Thanking her parents for donating money to the children who needed it.

In one of the many dresses she received from her parents, the girl wandered about the area after being ushered to talk to the children.

Her eyes soon landed on one of them.

A little boy.

Who was sitting far from everyone else.

'He looks so lonely.' She thought to herself while making her way over to the boy.

"Hey, is anybody sitting here?" The little boy shook his head.

"Then can I sit here?" The boy quietly nodded, giving the girl permission to sit right next to him.

The girl wondered why the little boy wasn't playing with the other children.

But she didn't want to upset the little boy.

"Um." She started off her conversation with the little boy. "Do you want to hear a story?"

The little boy piqued with curiosity nodded.

As the girl told a story to the little boy, slowly...the boy opened up on talking to her.

"My name is Watanabe Daichi." The little boy finally introduced himself to girl. In turn the girl did the same, "I'm Saitou Megumi."

And soon a small friendship began to grow between the two.

"Daichi, I brought another story today!" Megumi would announce the minute she entered the boy's hospital room.

With eyes full of wonder and interest, Daichi sat up from his hospital bed to ask. "Really?! What's it about?"

"Vampires."

Daichi's face immediately turned into a frown upon hearing say that. "Ehh? Not that mushy stuff again is it?"

Megumi shook her head as she slowly made her way over to the visitor's seat.
