"(Y/n)! Geez where is that girl?"

Your sister said she then thought of something.

"Ah!"

She pulled open the cabinet door.

"Found you!!!! What are you doing there? Do you think you can hide from me? Are you eating nutller again? Come out now."

She pulled you out.

~

"Tsk. Sis is no fun. This is boring." 

You slid out of your seat and ran out of the daycare into the forest. You then saw the back of a girl. 

"Hm? Who's that? I've never seen her around before..."

You poked her back and she turned around.

"Uhm..yes?

She asked slightly starteled

"Who are you? I haven't seen you around."

"Oh! I'm Eri! Today's my first day and I was just looking at the pretty flowers..."

She explained.

A new person... Perfect. "I'm (y/n) and I'm in charge around here. Your first task is join me in my adventures! Now let's run!"

You grabbed her hand and bolted.

"E-eh?! W-wait--"

She protested.

~

"So this is my favorite spot."

You drew a line in the sand with a stick.

"You shall not pass. And over there is-! Let's go climb that hill!"

"WHAT!"

~

"(Y/n) you're so dead when I find you!"

Your sister yelled. She then spotted you and a girl. Your clothes were covered in dirt. She punched the back of your head.

~

"Your sister is pretty nice."

Eri said putting on the new clothes your sister gave her.

"She is niether of thoes."

"Aaa this shirt is comfy. My mom is gonna pick me up soon. How about you?"

Eri asked.

"Huh? My mom? She's dead."

"Huh?"

Eri was confused.

"Sis said she didn't make it when she gave birth to me so yeah. Since my mom dided, so did my dad cause their soulmates. It's okay though. My sister takes care of me. I don't mind, let's go!"

You said.

"Uhm...(y/n)!! I---I'll be your friend! And if you need anything I'll always be here for you."

You were surprised by her words but soon you smiled brightly and you two linked pinky's.

"I'll never leave you. It's a promise."

************************************

Your sister was setting up the daycare and noticed you sitting by yourself with your knees to your chest.

"Hm? (Y/n) what are you doing there?" 

She asked.

"I'm waiting for my friend Eri! We promised to play with me today! She prosmised to never leave me kekeke."

"O-ok..?" She looks happy...maybe I should let her be for today..

You then saw your friend Eri.

"(Y/n)!" 

She said excitedly. Her mom came up to you two with a camera.

"Ok say cheese and rice!" 

She said. You and Eri day after day did everthing together. You played together every day.

I wish we could stay like this forever.

But one day everthing changed.

"Eri! let's go play!"

You said excitedly.

"Oh...I kinda don't wanna go outside today. Sorry (y/n)."

Eri said. You stared at her and then fraked out.

"Eh why?! What's wrong?!"

You asked.

"Eh I..I don't know.."

The rest of the day you sat at your desk looking pretty gloomy.

"Eriiii I'm bored. Let's go playyy! RAWR! I can't stand sitting in this desk!!" 

You looked over at Eri.

I wonder what's wrong...

You thought. The door of the daycare opened.

"Excuse me..is (s/n) here?"

"Ah! Toya,you came!" 

Your sister said.

"Here are the notes you asked for."

He said.

"Thanks."

"That'll be 1,243.73 yen plus tax." (11.50 in dollars)

He said.

"GET OUT!"

Your sister said annoyed. You and Eri looked at him.

"Stop ditching classes already. You're troubleso-" 

He stopped and locked eyes with Eri. They stared at eachother for a few minuets. You loked at Eri confused.

"-ya. Hey! Earth to Toya! I said happy birthday! Are you excited for your big day today? You're gonna meet your soulmate!"

Your sister said.

"Excited? I don't know..."

He said.

This innocent soul is too precious. She looks so confused about what just happened. I should probably explain. 

He thought.

(Lunch time)

You munched on a sweetbun. Toya walked over to your table.

"It's the nootnoot."

You said.

"H-hi..." 

He said.

"No." 

You said.

"You with silver hair. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

He asked.

"What?! Why..."

You asked.

"Ok..."

She said.

~

You sat under a tree and hugged your knees to your chest. you buried your face in them until you heard foot steps.you looked up and saw that it was Eri.

"Ah-"

"Were you waiting for me?" 

She asked.

"Yeah..what did he say?"

You asked.

"Well..if I tell you, you gotta keep it a secret, okay?"

She said putting a finger to her lips. You nodded.

"He told me that I'm his soulmate."

She said. You looked suprised.

"His soulmate? like..our parents?"

You asked.

"Yeah! I'm still confused, but he told me I'll understand in a few years. for now, he said he's gonna wait for me to grow up~ it's our little secret. Don't tell anybody, okay?"

She said cheerfully.

~

"Sis! Sis! What happens when you meet your soulmate?"

You asked.

"Huh? Is my little sister curious? Why? You won't understand these things until you're older."

She explained.

"Just tell me now rawrr!"

She smiled at you.

"The first time your eyes meet theirs, you'll understand. So for now be patient and wait, okay?"

She explained.

"Fine." 

You pouted.

************************************

"Eri, do you wanna--"

She cut you off.

"Ah sorry (y/n)! I don't feel well today.."

She walked away with Toya. He sighed.

"(s/n) is so slow... Eri, do you wanna get some fresh air while waiting for her?"

She nodded.

"I'll show you my favorite place."

~

He took Eri far into the forest.

"This place helps me relax cause it's so peaceful and quiet. I always run to this place when I'm stressed."

He explained.

Eri sat down next to him. You watched them from behind the tree.

Now things are getting juicy.
