Who: Maeko, Misaki
What: Talking, protecting, watching the fireworks from windows.
Where: Tenth floor of an appartment block opposite the skypark.
When: After letters.
Why: Because Maeko is crazy and paranoid.

Maeko hadn't been lying when she'd said the appartment where she'd lived with her mother and father was small. There really wasn't room for three people.

Misaki had been intructed by both Maeko (in hushed voice) and Michio (in sign that seemed much louder by comparison despite its silence) to sit down and read or something and be quiet while Maeko was at work. She'd been left in Maeko's room.

And it was a very good job that she wasn't claustrophobic.

The room was very pink, with wallpaper involving the misadventures of white cartoon rabbits with balloons and glow-in-the-dark plastic stars on the ceiling. It was almost the exact size of the single futon that was right now kept in the small wardrobe at the far end. A desk and chair of sorts were just in front of the wardrobe, two sheets of wood surface hinged to the wall that could be folded up and down. There were no windows because there were no outside-facing walls. Rumpelstiltskin had been left in the doorway, sat on top of a few books.

And it was completely silent.

Maeko was due back in a few minutes.

Misaki was, oddly used to the idea of silence. When she had come to the apartment building she had been suprised by the size of it and the fact that they had to go way up to the tenth floor. She nodded her head when she met with Michio and bowed some then went up into the room. The reason that it wasn't so odd to her was that the pink haired girl was so used to the idea of not commuicating with her family all that much save for the occasional conversations with her sisters and brothers. Mostly, when she used to go home after school, Misa would find her father at work in the study listening to music in his room. She would shut the door, turn on the TV and start working on cleaning the house, which usually didn't need so much cleaning.

Being in Maeko's home made her feel oddly out of pace, but actually cozier then her own home. There was a static tension in the air, but one that wasn't perferated by cold, indifferent feelings. See the difference was that Maeko's house looked lived in. There was signs that people resided there. Misaki's house, not so much. So she was actually comfortable being in there where there were living, breathing people, who, dispite the silence, at least commuicated in some form with one another.

The room it self was small, but Misaki liked the wall paper, for obvious reasons. She pulled out her earphones after a bit, kept the music down to the point of maybe the buzzing of a fly, and listened to some songs as she sat in Maeko's chair going over some of the drawings she made. She partly wondered if she could ask the older girl could they put some flowers in the room to brighten it some.

She was dutiful in her waiting and sat there wondering if, late at night, Maeko thought of things on the outside. Compared to the white walls of her old room, the fact that her mother opposed any wall paper, color variations, or decorations that did not fit the bill of mathmatical perfection, ie: the idea of using any wall paper with characters on it, patters, or decorations, would have upset her as, if they did not match up, Aikio would insist on it being stripped and replaced with a solid white color. The fact that there were things like the stars and the paper made her feel welcome in the room.

Maeko finally made it up the stairs (even if it was ten storeys there was no way she was taking the elevator.

She entered in silence, stopping to speak to her father about the ice cream mochi she'd brought home with her and to take it to the kitchen and then entered her own room just as quietly.

She held out a notebook to Misaki. On the top line was 'Anything happen while I was gone?'

Misaki stared at it and blinked. She glanced at maeko and took the pad of paper she quickly wrote down.

'So no talking even in here huh. Okay, I designed some outfit. I like your room, it's a lot better then mine. How is your dad? Does he not like me? Oh and what are we doing this evening?'

She also drew a fast Sketch of Maeko wearing th bunny outfit that was on the walls.

Maeko leaned against the wall to write. Her writing was quick and clear, if incredibly small.

'No.
Thank you. You can stay in here, I'll put the spare futon out in the living room.
As always.
No.
Summer homework.

It's very nice, thank you.

Did you check your messages?'

Misaki looked at the answers and looked confused and quickly wrote in her own quick stroked hand.

'Oh I see.
Your welcome. No this is your room, I can sleep out in the living room.
So is he okay, or not okay, or...?
Wait he dosen't like me being here? Did I do something wrong?
Um...do you think we can take a walk and maybe hang out together outside after homework?
Can I cook for you guys for dinner at least?'

Misaki pulled out her phone to check her messages, then wrote quickly.

'Hikaru-niisan wants you to know that if I cause any issues to send me to him.
Tomako says that I'm being overly paranoid about nothing and that it's dumb for me to put you in this postion.
Mom wrote to not embaress her.'

'No. He wouldn't want you left alone near his work.
He's fine.
I told you, he doesn't like people. Especially people who
No.
No.

Good, no threats.'

Misaki nodded slowly and let out a sigh. She made a mental note at some point to take Maeko to stay over by the flower shop. At least there they could talk and maybe Maeko could relax some.

'Alright. I understand that.
That's good to know then.
Can I ask why that is? Because we talk?
Maybe you could teach me to talk to him? Less work for you then?
I feel like I should at least thank him for letting me stay here in some way?

No threats, but I still want to know where they came from. Did Kiriko tell you about the ones that were written in pen? Do you think it was two different people?'

'Because he doesn't like people. Keep your nose out of our business.
No. It'd take years for you to learn and you're only here a few days.
No.

Whoever it is I'll crush them for you. Don't worry about it.'

Misaki took the paper and looked at it then Maeko then back at the paper and wrote.

'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother.
So how do I talk to him? Or am I going to stay in the room?'

She sighed then wrote fast,

'I want to take you out somewhere. Just for a while.
What about the fireworks?'

'You don't. He doesn't want to talk to you. Just stay in here. Read or do your summer homework or whatever.

We're not leaving. If you want to see the fireworks you can watch them from the hall window outside once they start.'

Misaki drew in a few breaths. Her mind was racing back to the shadow, what if Maeko had been the one to send the letters. But then...no why would she do that that was stupid to think.

'Maeko-chan, please calm down. I'm not trying to cause trouble. Maybe I should go by Shojiro-sensei if this is trouble. Or stay with Kiriko-chan and Kozue-chan. I just don't want to cause you trouble.

Will you watch them with me?'

'I'm not annoyed. I'm just telling you to stay in here and be quiet. Those are the rules of the house. Basic instuctions.
No. Stay here.

Yes. You're not going to be out there on your own.'

'I understand that and I'll follow them.' her hand held there for a moment as she thought, It's just that you're reminding me of your shadow and you're scareing me some now. She cleared her mind and wrote.

'No one is going to hurt me Maeko-chan.

It's going to be a nice night out, can't we sit on the roof at least?'

'Good.

I know. I'm preventing it.

No. There's no way to access the roof of this building.'

Misaki paused. This wasn't good. She was way to tense. Both of them were. Misaki took the paper from her and wrote.

'Maeko-chan please sit down. I want to brush your hair. You're being way to tense. Please. You're starting to worry me. We're in your house, you need to relax some.

Then how about just sitting on the outside steps.'

'There isn't a chair other than the one you're using. My hair's fine. I'm fine. Just tired from work and climbing the stairs.

That means going back down and up the stairs. I'd prefer not to do that again tonight. The window in the hall's good enough.'

Misaki got up and motioned her into the chair. She motioned, 'Please sit.'

'I've always wanted to brush your hair. Please.'

Misaki looked at hopeful at her friend and hugged her.

Maeko sighed, more giving up than agreeing to anything, but nodded and sat in silence.

Misaki pulled out a brush and very gently and carefully bushed Maeko's hair. She paused and wrote.

'Maeko-chan, I was thinking. You know that new resturant that opened up a few days ago, the one that's not to far from the school. My brother got me four tickets there. I was thinking. Maybe you, and me, and Kanaye and Keiichi could go there together?

It could be like a date with the four of us. We could get all dressed up and um, have a sleep over and just talk about silly stuff.

I want you to be happy Maeko-chan. I don't want you to worry about me. Because when you worry about me, you don't think about yourself. And I just want you to be happy.'

She set down the pen and brushed her hair slowly and smiled softly.

'Once we know it's safe for sure, maybe.

...I guess.

I said I'm fine.'

She put the pen back down when she was done, sighing. She still wasn't quite sure what was wrong with her hair.

'There's icecream mochi in the freezer. We can eat them while watching the fireworks if you like.'

You're not fine, Misaki thought quietly and touched Maeko's shoulders gently. This wasn't going to be easy. The closer she was to Maeko the more she seemed to hurt her.

Misaki picked up the pen and wrote quickly.

'Maeko-chan, I know you're trying to protect me, and I really appricate it.' She put an arm around Maeko as she wrote.

'And I adore you for it, but you're starting to worry me. There's nothing we can do till we know what's going on. And until Tom-kun or Krikio-chan gets in contact with us, we should try to relax. Don't you think? It's summer right?

Sounds good. We can guess the colors as they come. Right?'

'It's still dangerous.'

She thought a second and crossed that out.

'Fine. But stay here where it's safe.

Right.'

Misaki wrote quickly,

'I intend to stay here, but I need you to calm down. You're too tense. If you worry to much you'll get sick, and I don't want that.'

Misaki paused and then wrote.

'I love you a lot Maeko-chan. You're more then just a best friend to me.'

'I'm not tense, I'm just tired from work.'

Which was mostly true. This place was a little stressful but nearly all of her current anger came from Misaki's assumption that she'd be able to master the only thing she was any good at within a few days and her inability to keep her nose out of other people's business and reacting with passive agression when asked to stop.

She stopped, never sure how she was supposed to respond to things like that.

'That's nice.'

'Oh, I see. What did you have to do?' Misaki put down the brush and smiled at Maeko. She wasn't sure what to make of the, 'That's nice.' Normally when someone said they loved you, you'd say you'd love them back. With Maeko she wasn't sure if she was just being her normal self or....

She wrote down a quick question.

'Would you like to stay over by my brother's shop some time this summer? Unless of course he's having it checked out, which he might be. In that case, would you like to stay at my house? I'm sure my father wouldn't mind. Mother has a meeting some time this summer and well, I figured that would be the best time to go visit.'
