I guess... Part 1

Running through the park, time after time after time was tiring me. Master Takuya was nagging me about not taking a few days off to take care of Yayoi. I really wanted to take care of Yayoi, she was very ill and poorly, and Rui I could not trust to take care of Yayoi. Takuya was screaming that he would cut my pay if I took the day off, but... Nobody would want to take care of poor Yayoi! She was 12, and everyone called her a spoiled brat. Last month, I proved them wrong by showing them Yayoi's room , filled with artistic drawings and thousands upon thousands of unfinished stories. But still, nobody liked Yayoi. Apart from Sayuri...1

"Sayuri?" I said, hooked up on my mobile.2

"Oh, hey, Akira! What can I do for you?" asked Sayuri, relaxing on her sofa with the home phone on speaker.3

"Can you take care of Yayoi today? She's ill," I said. 4

"Oh! Mako could use with the company, she's ill too," Sayuri gasped.5

"Then it's settled! Come over in a few minutes and we can take Yayoi to your place, then I guess... I'll have to go to work," I finished, and I hung up.6
