There was once a girl, who waited 6 years for her loved ones to return. They never did. What is her fate to be? Will she wait forever? That is up to her.
There was a noise at the gate to the house. What was it? It sure wasn't mother or father. Not even Ryuuichi-sama. Forget it. The house was empty. It has been for a while. Nothing has changed, not even Hikari. My appearance hasn't changed at all. Still age 10.
The noise was clear now. A voice calling "Is there anyone here?" rang through the halls. They were getting closer and closer to me. Who is it? Who can it be. Then suddenly, the door opened.
A man, about 30 or so, looked around the room, and his eyes landed on me. For a second, he stared at me, as if he had never seen anyone like me before. His wide eyes now returned to normal. In a calm voice, he asked. "Are your parents home little girl?"
My sorrow returned as I answered. "They left years ago, but they never returned. I now live alone." He looked at me again, amazed.
"Well, may I ask to spend the night here? For the snow is getting worse and I have no where else to shelter. I shall leave within the morning back to my school." he asked me.
He is a traveler, and mother and father would let him stay... I guess it would be alright. "sure. Would you like something to eat while you stay here?" I asked to be polite.
"If possible yes please." He replied.
"Okay then. I'll show you to your room for tonight, and then prepare something for you to eat." I walked him to the guest room.
"Thank you very much." He looked at me again. His eyes full of questions to ask. As I left him in that room, I began to wonder why he was here, and how was a person able to reach this place. I thought it was sealed off from everyone. Sealed away from time.
