Many years later.....
"Hey, Natarii!"
It was her day off, for once. With Naoko and Yumiya at school, Natarii didn't have to babysit anyone- much less go to work.
And she hated it.
All she did was sit alone all day- while she waited for the girls to get home, and then she waited for Neito to get home.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAyIEsGrxU
She sighed. What could she do? It's not like she wanted the mandatory day off. Talk about a pain. Natarii looked at the clock on the stove. It was only 10 AM and she was already tired of sitting around.
'Maybe I should buy a dog. Naoko did beg for one.... and her father did kinda ask for one without actually asking. It wouldn't hurt...'281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNg8mo57i
She didn't buy it, though. What was the point? They should get pets as a family.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuHKEmrw62
Hours later-281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8POL21FU1
"MOM, I'M HOME!"
It was Naoko. She was the spitting image of her father, blonde hair, gray eyes, lightly tanned skin- it was like looking into a mirror. Naoko got along perfectly with her father, but Natarii wasn't her favorite person in the world.
Naoko's POV.
I don't hate mom.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlP7wrvjK8
No, really! I don't! She's just so coldhearted and careless, sometimes I wish she wasn't my mother.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKTx3Kxaas
I really only want dad to be home more. He always works so late, if he gets home- and Yumiya can only stay awake for so long, talking to me. 281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUciAk0pFG
Mom didn't say anything when I said hi- she just stared at me for a second and looked away. Maybe she's mad that none of her kids have her pretty silver eyes. I want those eyes. Gray eyes are great, don't get me wrong, but Mom's eyes were so metallic and beautiful- I kinda want them to be mine, too- really, they would look better with Yumiya's dark, curly hair and pale skin.
Her hair was great, too. I'm glad I inherited the silver ends of her hair- except hers started with charcoal black and ended with a beautful silver, while mine is blonde. That's okay- I don't want to look too much like her.
Then Yumiya ran in, energetic as ever.
