Chapter 5

Page 50- _Dawning Melodies_

A familiar voice caught her attention as she felt her body stop halfway down. Looking at the smooth long fingers she instantly knew. Blue eyes and short midnight blue hair wide open and still in shock, Aigasaki Merumi appeared before her fading face.

Aigasaki.... _Whoa!! Rin, are you okay!? Don't tell me you've been working your butt off after Dr Akane clearly told you not to?_

Her mind calmed down a bit and the haziness slowly disappeared as she came to. She steadily rose up and jumped over her friend in surprise. Haruno pushed her questions aside and embraced the happy feeling that stirred her body to a rising temperature.

Rintarõ.... _Ai!!!, it's good to see you. A Lot has happened, and i feel like it's been a month since we saw each other even though it was just yesterday._

Aigasaki.... _I'm not sure if i should ask about this Lot! 'cause judging from the way you almost fell down, i'd say it's been one hell of a night. Anyway, what are you doing in a shop like this?_

Rintarõ.... _Your question's both offensive and concerning. Any who... i'm here with Kei and Hiro's sisters for shopping. I actually left the items by the register looking for the older on who's got the money?_

Aigasaki.... _You mean you're actually here with some fancy well mannered fair of princesses?_

Rintarõ.... _I don't know about mannered but yeah. I'm busy looking for them as we speak. They shouldn't be hard to find, both have red hair and eyes. Ever came across them?_

Aigasaki.... _I'm not sure about the old one, but i did see a small angry looking girl dressed in pink behind the sweet section over there._

She pointed towards a third shelve set right from the door entrance. Strands of red hair rent the back of little Kagami looking at the packs of sweets in front of her.

Rintarõ.... _Yeah that's exactly her!, thanks~._

Aigasaki.... _Welcome, sorry but i've gotta go now. I'm kinda lazing out on work standing with you here. Talk to you when you're back home ok!~._

Aigasaki Merumi waved her hand at Rintaro as she paced back into the storeroom behind the counter. Left in figure , _little miss genius_ kept it as a topic for next time. She moved to the sweets roll and grabbed a pack of sweets leaving the princesses smeared with joyful expressions on their faces. Standing by the register, she paid for Ayami's items and left the shop. Hand in hand together were Mii and Kiyo who walked distracted by the _Kanmu_ sweet-sour candy.

A few shop entries, buying crepes and party breaks later, they found themselves inside a meat store last mentioned on the random list. Driven by the desire for answers, she speedily got in, bought the listed goods and dashed out. She couldn't hold down the adrenaline pumping her heart loudly to a thump. "I need to know, i wanna know! And only Keisuke can tell me", at some point she was telling herself that.

Senami's name kept popping up in her mind and she so badly wanted to see him. Was it the need to know about his family that made her mind boil with curiosity, or another emotional melody at play? Even she herself couldn't tell which was which. She held two bags worth of random stuff not capable of stewing a single dish. While processing what meal could be made from such ingredients, she left Kiyohime to call Hiroshi for the pick up.

An hour later the chauffeur had arrived, this time chocking the steering of a black Hyundai Alantra. He opened the doors, gestured for the ladies to enter and drove off. The slightly sunken sunset glistened a tad embracing the few evening clouds in a glorious glow. Rintaro glared at the black back of the seat in front gleaming with some kind of reform.

"Maybe it's a bad idea to just outright ask him, but right now all i can think of is seeing his face. I'm pretty sure it's not just wanting to see him, i can feel a warm feeling springing up." A smile formed on her lips mixed emotions juggling up inside her.

In a few hours the car was honking at the gates with front lighting on the dark walls. The girls were already fast asleep leaving only high spirited Haruno fervently waiting to see Keisuke.
