Chapter 4: 愛 "Ai"

Ai woke up suddenly, it was her second day of vacation. She changed into her cosmic jumpsuit. She rushed into the kitchen and prepared the typical Mexican enchiladas that her mother had taught her. At least he couldn't remember her very well, but she remembered her beautiful and faithful to all of her loving actions. Ai smiled again and was glad that one more day she was alive to live with Ichigo her brother who taught her the essentials to live.

- Brother! Come eat now. It's time- she exclaimed.

-I'm here, what an early riser you are. - Ichigo said in complaint mode.

- Stop being lazy! Haha - Ai said smiling.

Ichigo sighed, things happened normally. She was still overwhelmed by all the things that happened the night before.

- What are you doing today brother? Again you go to look for it. - Ai said with a sad tone.

-Not today. I'm tired of searching, but things seem to have stopped for a while. What will you do today - said

-Good question. I haven't thought about it much, do you want to go to the park? - Ai said

-Of course let's go for a while to clear the mind-

So the two brothers enlisted and went to the park. The breeze blew slightly and the two brothers launched themselves into the forest. They had a feeling of familiarity as they walked the short forest path. Sakura's tree was not within the glow of her, but it did give some warmth.

Ichigo couldn't explain what happened the night before. She had left him in fear and confusion. But the curiosity of that so-called "spiritual world" made him delirious. Things stopped for Ichigo for a moment, but he then had to go back to take care of Ai. Difficult life in the city of Tokyo, "How will Mexico be?" He thought, I miss those old moments that he supposed I live together with Ai, he smiled despite not having any images of that distant past that was his own past of hers. He angered Ichigo, not being able to do anything. . .not even close enough for that flower shop. The girl who called him Ichigo thought that she would be thinking that he was useless. More and more she wanted to do something. . .and finally grabbed determination and stood up.

- Where are you going brother? - Ai asked.

-You know Ai, tomorrow I will visit that happy flower shop. If I don't come back, please take good care of yourself, okay? Ichigo smiled at Ai.

-But ... but brother. I'm not very self-sufficient either. I want you to come back safe and sound. I'm sure you will bring back those memories! Ai exclaimed.

Ichigo was silent, only smiled to give her sister the last protection and shelter her from the lonely world that awaited them both.

The afternoon turned to night, the tamales went like water and the bread too. The two of them said good night, Ai was still surrounded by the fear of being alone. She couldn't focus on sleeping. . .but exhaustion finally overcame her.

The sun was shining on her, little Ai woke up slightly. She changed into her typical galaxy overalls and went slowly to the kitchen. There she found a dish with the famous sotovichallas that she once tasted because her mother had prepared them for her. There was a letter there which said:

“You know Ai, forgive me for this. It won't take long! I promise to be with you. I made food for 1 month, you never know what will wait for you on the way. Thanks for everything, and take care of your kitten that you always hid from me.

With love, Ichigo "

Only the soft tears made a trip around the minor's cheeks to get lost in her clothes. She sighed and went about her day.
