Why Are You Like This
Chapter 1
Chiyo
*yawns* ~ oh,, how nice was that sleep? I haven't had one in so long~
Chiyo
hm, as usual. This place is as empty as ever.
Chiyo
maybe I should have a walk outside then..
chiyo then walks out to the garden and sat down on a bench.
she looks down, watching the fishes in a pond right next to her.
Chiyo
if only I could be as free as these fishes..ah~ how nice would that be?
she then heard footsteps from inside the house.
it was not very normal to have people wander around at the time like this,,,especially with her parents working.
Chiyo
Theo? how did you get in?
Theo
your parents handed me the keys last week. it was just for a little warm up since,,,, you know.
Theo
it's not very safe to be all alone here, you should find someone to keep you company.
Chiyo
your company is all I need, theo~
Theo
don't talk nonsense, I'm being serious! once I get back, who's going to be here with you?
Theo
it's time we find you a maid,, or at least a friend
Chiyo
you know how hard it is for me to find a friend.
Chiyo
besides, it's not necessary! I can hang on just like this.
Theo
you're so stubborn. have you not learn your lesson?
Chiyo
whatever~ why don't we go for a step outside? this house has me cramped up.
Theo
sure, maybe we'll find some great people on the way too.
Chiyo
don't tell me you're going to sell me off~ I prefer having us alone here!
Theo
that's easy for you to say. what if I leave right here and now? you'll be all alone again, won't you?
Chiyo
yes, but the spirits in this house is enough to keep me company~
Theo
whatever you say, quicky get ready
chiyo gets ready for their little 'walk', and came upon an interesting jewelry.
Chiyo
hm, isn't this the ring they brought me years ago? why did it suddenly appear again?
Chiyo
maybe I'm being paranoid, it's really pretty~ I should wear it today and tell Theo all about it!~
as soon as she's done, she walked downstairs to find Theo.
Theo came from the garden as well, seems like he really enjoys nature as chiyo does.
Chiyo
should we head out now?
Theo
you look great, let's go.
they left the house immediately after.
Chiyo
alrighty, so where should we start?
Theo
hey, isn't that your old school? should we go there and pay a visit?
Theo
I heard how much you loved that place, maybe you should tell me why
Chiyo
ah, okay~ I don't have much to say, really..but let's go there and have a talk with the teachers~
they both walked in, just to find...her.
Ryu
hey, aren't you the two from uni? what's up?
Chiyo
we're here to visit, nothing else..what about you?
Ryu
oh! I had a little sister that goes to school here, I'm waiting for her !
Ryu
what's up, Theo! you're pretty quiet today,,
Theo
oh, no reason. you two keep talking.
they both talked about their life experiences. for a while, while Theo watches.
it's been over an hour, it seems to me that Ryu might need to go very soon.
Ryu
oh, my little sister is here! see you again, chiyo!! and Theo!
Chiyo
so,,, mind telling me what that was all about?~
Chiyo
why weren't you talking? Ryu used to be part of our friend group wasn't she?
Theo
I was thinking,,, maybe we should offer her to keep you company instead..
Theo
she seems nice, and outgoing
Chiyo
mhm~ I agree. but she has a little sister to take care of every single day..I don't think she would agree,,
Theo
what a shame. we'll see though.
Chiyo
already?~ we haven't spoken with the teachers here yet!
they both stayed there for a long time..talking with their old acquaintances.
until they had an unexpected visit..
Theo
don't look back, chi.
Theo
it's nothing important. but don't let them see us
chiyo heard talkings from her back
she recognized the voice immediately.
Chapter 2
Chiyo
woah, is it really you?
Chiyo
I would've never expected to see you again!
Theo
*pulls her away from Yuhan* did you not hear what I said?
Chiyo
what do you mean? yuhan is our great friend~
Theo
I told you he is not worth it, let's go.
Chiyo
wait, but it's too rude to leave him hanging there!
Chiyo
why are you being like this, Theo? you two used to be great friends..
Theo
it's, nothing. just please don't talk to him
Chiyo
that won't do! at least, not today, come on!
the two went back to Yuhan who was waiting for them.
Chiyo
sorry about that, yuhan~ how are you?
Yuhan
it's been great, thank you! what about you?
Chiyo
oh, it's been perfectly fine~
Chiyo
well, what brings you here?
Yuhan
me? oh, no reason. I had an appointment here for uh, my niece. she's going to be enrolling here soon.
Yuhan
she came from outside of town and was sent here by her parents. it was my responsibility to help her.
Chiyo
no reason, I was just a little bit confused. it's as if every each one of us is having a little gathering here~!
Chiyo
we met Ryu who was here too, earlier. now you!
Yuhan
oh, how great! I wished I could meet her.
Yuhan
anyways, Theo. how was life? you're being quite too silent right now, aren't you?
Chiyo
ehehe, he's always like that. really paranoid, don't mind him.
Theo
actually, do mind me. I'm here to keep an eye on chiyo. it's surprising to see every one of you guys to suddenly pop out of nowhere.
Yuhan
I should be the one saying that to you! I didn't expect you'd be here today out of all days!
Theo
right, you don't even bother keeping it a secret now, aren't you.
Chiyo
uh, guys? I think it should be time~
Chiyo
come on now, Theo. *pulls him*
Yuhan
see you two, later? I guess..?
the two left the school building.
Chiyo
what was that all about, Theo?!
Chiyo
youre acting as if he've killed you in his previous life!
Chiyo
can't you be more nicer?
Theo
if he did, he'd already be dead by now.
Chiyo
oh, come on now. what's up with you?
Theo
don't you think it's strange? they both popped up out of nowhere?
Theo
here out of all place?
Chiyo
no,,, they already told us they had a reason, right?
Theo
it seems like they're hinting on us very subtlely, though. I'm very sure they're having a gathering here.
Theo
they didn't bother to invite us! how rude.
Chiyo
are you seriously that childish, really? ahaha If they wanted privacy, they should have them! let them breath, geez.
Liam
oh, wow~ you two! why haven't you came in?
Chiyo
Liam? what are you doing here?
Liam
huh? oh! I was invited too, ehehe, I told you I'm capable of getting invited in gatherings like these too!
Liam
you two dont think you're the only one, do you? *smiles*
Theo
I told you, they're having a gathering.
Liam
why would you forget such thing, Chi? come on now!
Chiyo
no no, I think there's a little bit of a misunderstanding here, Liam.
Chiyo
I wasn't invite in anything, neither did Theo!
Liam
what? but aren't you two suppose to be the first one to be invited?
Liam
theres been multiple gatherings happening lately. I thought the both of you was too bold to join us, but you weren't invited?
Liam
the host was Yuhan, wasn't you two close friends with him?
Theo
we bumped into him earlier. he and Ryu both said they're here for their younger family members .
Liam
but the both of them is inside,,,
Liam
is it possible that he forgot you two? or perhaps having trouble contacting you two?
Chiyo
yes, possibly. but there's a lot of other from school that has our number, why didn't he ask them?
Theo
be reasonable, chiyo. he obviously did this on purpose. I mean, we bumped into him earlier and he didn't say anything about some gathering.
Theo
Liam, bring us to him. I'd also like to know why.
