I was always the one left out. It wasn't my fault, was it?



I had to transfer to many different schools after then.



"Ugh, isn't that disgusting woman her mother?"


"Why would you raise such a slut?"


It always ended terribly.


Tears were wiped with sleeves. I weep.

So then...


On the,

9/16/1990

Mother became even more so tired of all this as each day passed by. She dressed up, packed up. Slammed the door on me.


Unknown: "Wait! What about-!"


She left me......


"I don't need her anymore, I should've never given birth to you."

"Don't leave me, I promise I will do all my chores, I would never cause you any more trouble ever again, please mother!", I layed on the floor, begging.

But, that was the last sentence mother said to me, the last she spoke to me, the last time I saw her.

"Ojii-san, Do you think it's my fault?"

Unknown: "It's going to be okay, Hika, come with me."

....

Years passed then, it was hard to believe.


"Hika, breakfast is ready!" "Coming Okaa- Ojii-san!"


"What a weird grandchild I have." "hahaha, Ojii-san that's mean!" "Come eat, child."


"Itadakimasu!", I screamed.

   If you couldn't tell already, living with my uncle was nice and comforting, for once.


"Okay, I'm off, see you Ojii-san!"


It was only us two that lived together now after dad had left us and mother had disappeared off to somewhere. Ojii-san was the only person I have now, although he is growing quite old as days pass by.

Thing was, we are tight on money. Ojii-san tries his best to reassure me and tells me to just focus on my studies but I know about our financial problems.


The only other major reason why we had food left on our plate was that "Tomino" still exists, he protects me, this was part of our agreement. I thought for sure Tomino would get bored of me soon when I grew older, but he stayed and waited for the promise we made till the very end. It seems like Tomino never really ages and he just stays the same size every day even after years. Things just stayed the same.


Tomino grants my wishes. But, that's it....
