Sukiko doubled over with laughter. "stupid Ruru! Reading isnt a game! stop reading and come play!" she kicks a bit more dirt onto Naruruan who was sitting quietly under a tree reading 'vampire doll'. Almost instantly tiny silver threads shot from his hair , binding her wrists to a high branch in the tree.
"Cut it out you brat!" he hissed " You're 5 you cant bully me! "
" I'll show you! " Sukiko set fire to the branch holding her up, then realized the error in that logic as she hit the ground hard.
"Suki-dono!" Rumi rushed to her side, tripping on the scorched branch.
"She's fine. Its just a bump, you klutz..." Naru sighed and helped Rumi up, Ignoring Sukiko.
"I'll kill you ! you cur! " Sukiko's infantile squeaky voice made the threat sound halarious.
" I bet you will. Rumeme-chan do you want to hear a song?"
"Yeah! a new one!" Rumi nodded and smiled.
"Dont ignore me Ruru! You'll regret this!" Suki started gnawing on the threds binding her hands together. Naru laughed and let her loose, wandering off with Rumi and singing cheerfully.
By the time they got back to Naruruan's house Lind was escorting Yorin from the car. She looked pale and fatigued. Naru started worring.
"Mother, How was the doctors appointment? You're ok right?"
Yorin smiled weakly. "Yes, Honey, I'm fine."
Lind smiled a bit as well, deciding it was time to break the new to him "come inside you two, there's something we need to tell you"
Rumi followed curiously behind her Aunt and Uncle. Naru shuffled worriedly behind them as well.
Rumi and Naru sat anxiously one a small couch across from Yorin. Lind brought them some tea.
" well? " Ruru said sipping nervously at his cup. Lind smiled.
" Ruru, you know how you said you wanted a little sister? well...you'll be getting one after all."
" wait so....so thats why..." Naru's eyes go a bit wide.
" you ordered one for him?" Rumi smiles. " Yay! I cant wait!" Lind laughed.
"Yes Rumi, we "ordered" a sister for him." Yorin smiled as she spoke, but she sounded horrible.
" It'll be delivered in five months, a little after your tenth birthday Ruru." Lind drank some of his tea and then handed Ruru a strip of paper.
"It's called a sonogram. Thats you baby sister Naru."
"doesnt look like a baby....looks more like....smudges." Naru looked curiously at the white shapes in the small black boxes.
" I dont see a baby either, looks like a puppy to me..." Rumi said as she stared at the sonogram. Yorin laughed.
"when it gets here it'll look like a baby." she said as Sukiko shuffled through the door looking rather defeated.
" Welcome back, Suki-chan, where were you?" Lind asked as he finished his tea.
" I fell out of a tree..." She stated rather bluntly as she picked bits of leaves out of her hair.
"such a tomboy." Lind laughed.
"whats going on, whats that? " Sukiko asked pointing at the sonogram pictures.
" That is your new baby cousin. She's coming in five months."
Suki looked at it curiously then decided since she couldn't quite see it well that it wasnt worth her time.
"here," Yorin handed a picture to Suki. " take this home and show it to your mother ok?" Suki nodded, looking rather uninterested.
That night however Suki slept holding the picture of her new baby cousin as if it was a stuffed animal..
