Almond

Kagome had been having an amazing day it was Saturday February second. She had spent the day at her little brother Souta’s soccer game. In honor of his team’s win she offered to take them all out for pizza. The team had shouted their praises to her in thanks.

Kagome glanced at Souta from the corner of her eye as they were driving home from the pizza place.  “Hey what is with that look? You should be happy your team won.”

Souta sighed, “It is not that Kagome. I am happy about that.”

Kagome decided to pull the car over and give her brother her full attention. “Okay Souta spill what is wrong?”

Souta looked at Kagome, “Mom’s new husband wants us to move to America.”

Kagome’s eyes widened, “Mom has not said anything to me about it.”

Souta shook his head, “She has not said anything to you about it because she is still trying to convince me that it is a good idea. I do not want to leave though. The shrine is here, all my friends are here and you are here. I just do not want to go!”

Kagome pulled him into a hug, “It will be okay Souta. When we get back to the shrine we will all sit down and talk. How does that sound?”

Souta glowered and told her fine. We had to stop by my apartment fist I had to pick up a book that I had promised to bring to momma. Before I even made it into my apartment I saw another package sitting in front of the door. I smiled softly and picked it up.

Souta looked at it curiously, “What is it?”

Kagome smiled at her little brother while unlocking the door, “I have a secret admire. He has already sent me one gift and said I would receive one every day until Valentine’s Day that is the day he will reveal himself to me.”

I opened the letter first and read it a load.

My Dearest Kagome,

I present to you my second gift I hope you enjoy it and I long for the day we would be able to enjoy one of you favorite things together. May this gift keep you warm where I cannot.

Yours Only Your

Secret Admirer

Kagome opened the box to reveal a large box of her favorite hot chocolate. It was the almond flavored kind and it had been her favorite since she was a child.

Souta grinned at his sister, “Can I have some?”

Kagome chuckled, “Of course I know this is your favorite too. How about we take it with us to the shrine? Since we are going to be talking about something that neither of us is happy about we can have it to drink to make us feel better.”

Souta nodded his head in agreement. Kagome sighed as she followed Souta out of her apartment this was a conversation she was not looking forward to.
