Chereads / Our Babysitter / Chapter 9 - Katana Furuichi

Chapter 9 - Katana Furuichi

Ray didn't go to school, nor to her work, she drive back to the house where she currently lives in and sleep the whole day, she didn't eat her lunch nor her dinner, she didn't take off her school uniform, didn't do anything but to lay down on her bed and sleep all the time she had for that day.

The twins wake up by the knock on their door. But they know, it wasn't the one they wanted to see. The sound of her knock was different to anyone, especially when she used her foot to get to their door.

Nonetheless, Kanata opens the door for whoever is behind it. Like his twin, all he wanted was to wait for their Ray-chan, get them out of their room and serve them the food she cooks just for them and only them.

Their parents get in without even asking if they want them inside their room, their safe haven, the room where Ray always makes them tear up in laughter.

"Your new baby sitter will be here by tomorrow morning, before we leave" Reica informed them.

They want to say no, they want to argue, they want their parents to know all they want is their Ray-chan and not anyone else. But, they know...they know they won't listen, they never listen, always insist on what they think they want.

But...that's not what was in Katana's mind. She wants her baby sitter back, she wants Ray to know that she loves her, like how much her twin loves her, she wants to hear Ray call her Kata-chan, like how she called her twin Kana-chan.

She did what everyone didn't expect her to do, despite their age, everyone knew they were smart, no they are geniuses, and understood things the way others didn't understand. But what she did...they didn't see it coming.

Katana fell on her knees and cried. She cried so loud, that it almost broke her parents heart. She cried so loud that Kanata also fell on his knees and hugged her from behind, crying on her back silently. She kneels before her parents while her hands on their feet.

"Please....please, bring her back. Bring her back to us, don't let her leave us. I, no, we...Kanata and I...we promise, we won't see our friends and play with them again, we won't eat our ice creams, we are not going to ask for our chocolate drink, we won't watch any movies, we won't even leave our room just, just please, I'm begging you...don't take her away from us, don't let her leave us"

Katana begged. She begged as if her life depended on it, she begged for them to bring her back, she begged for them to not let her leave them...but her begging fell on deaf ears.

Reica didn't understand her daughter. What does she find on that teenager that made her fall in her knees and begged them? She felt frustrated, irritated and annoyed instead of pity towards her kids.

Reica left the room without saying anything, her husband following her behind...before they could even go further away from their kids room...they heard the worst thing they never wanted to hear.

"I LOVE HER, PLEASE BRING HER BACK!!! WE LOVE HER, DON'T LET HER LEAVE US!!! MOM!!! DAD!!! PLEASE!!!"

TRUE to their words, the twin didn't leave their room. Their new babysitter sends them food but they don't have the courage to open their door or leave their bed to get the tray of food served for them. They both know their Ray-chan will be upset with them, but they still didn't move to do anything. They just hug each other and the teddy bear that Ray bought for them.

These things continue for days, the twins don't get off their bed, don't eat even a piece of food, or drink even just a drop of water, they don't take showers or change their clothes... They don't care if they starve, if they are dehydrated or about their hygiene, they remain hugging each other and their teddy bears are always sleeping and crying every time they wake up.
