Continuation of the ending....
Natsune ran to the girl in kimono and tackled her.
“W-who-?” The girl had let out but then her eyes landed on Ryuu.
“Oh my god! Ryutaro-san!” she squealed, “You’re my ichiban!”
The girl’s face then turned beet red as she said it and she closed her eyes as if she’d done something very wrong.
Ryuu didn’t move for a minute or two... he just stared at the girl who resembles Enna-chan so much; her face, her voice, even how she said those words uttered by Enna-chan so long ago.
But then the girl patted Natsune on the back and started speaking in a worried voice.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Hime-chan, why are you crying?”
Ryuu shook his head and went to his sister.
“Natsune-chan...”
Natsune held onto the girl. “Enna-chan!”
“Natsune, she’s not Enna... Enna is -“
“Nooo!!!” Natsune shouted as she held onto the girl tighter.
“Natsune-“ Ryuu tried to say but then the girl shook her head at Ryuu.
The girl hugged Natsune and whispered soothing words at her.
Ryuu watched as Natsune’s sob started to grow fainter.
Finally, Natsune calmed down. She held up her head and looked at the girl. The girl smiled warmly at her. Natsune placed her arms around the girl’s neck and hugged her.
“Enna-chan...” she said as new tears fell from her eyes.
“Natsune...” Ryuu sighed.
He bowed at the girl, apologising. The girl shook her head as if saying it was okay.
Ryuu was struck again at how much the girl resembles Enna-chan. He shook his head once more and then moved more closely to Natsune.
“Natsune...” he called as he placed his hand on his sister’s back.
“Natsune, we need to go back now... Nii-chan still has work...” he tried.
“No! I don’t wanna leave Enna-chan!” Natsune said.
“We’re bringing Enna-chan with us.” Ryuu said and he looked at Kago-san. Kago-san and his wife smiled and nodded.
Ryuu took the doll and tried to give it to Natsune but she didn’t look at it.
“That’s not Enna-chan!” she protested.
“Natsune... Kanon-san,” he looked at the girl silently asking if that was right. Kanon nodded.
“Kanon-san is not Enna-chan either...” Ryuu said to Natsune.
Natsune’s hands sagged. Ryuu took the chance and pulled Natsune up. He helped Kanon stand up, too.
Ryuu crouched in front of Natsune and lift her head up.
“Natsune...” he started, “I’m so sorry, but we need to get going...” he murmured.
“I want Enna...” Natsune said softly. And then she looked at Kanon.
“I-I know she’s not Enna-chan. B-but... I still don’t wanna say good bye to Enna-chan.” She said downcast.
She looked at Kanon once more. “Can’t she be my Enna-chan?”
“Natsune...” Ryuu groaned.
“Uhmm...” Kanon piped. “I don’t really understand, but I can be this Enna-chan if you’d like.” She said as she smiled at the little girl.
Natsune looked up.
Ryuu looked at Kanon, “You don’t mind?”
Kanon blushed and then shook her head. “It’s fine.”
Natsune finally smiled.
“Okay,” Ryuu conceded, “but Natsune-chan, you can’t play right now, we have to go. I’m already late.”
“Let’s take Enna-chan with us! I wanted to watch your concert with Enna-chan!” Natsune said.
“Natsune... uhmm,” Ryuu looked at Kanon.
“Why don’t you go, Kanon-chan?” her grandmother had said.
“Uhmm... I don’t have a ticket.” She said rather lamely.
“That’s okay!” Natsune said.
Both the girls looked at Ryuu.
“Well, if you really don’t mind...” Ryuu said, giving up.
“Then let’s go!” Natsune said gleefully.
“Yeah,” Ryuu looked at his watched. “We’re already late, let’s go.”
“Uhmm,” Kanon chirped, “This is Enna-chan, right? So should I just wear this kimono?” she asked.
“No, no, you don’t have to.” Ryuu said.
“It’s fine, really, I want to be in character.”
“No, really, no need to go that far and we’re going to a concert, too..” Ryuu insisted.
“Enna-chan is beautiful whether she’s in a kimono or anything else!” Natsune proclaimed.
After changing hastily the three set off to the hotel.
They rode a cab. Ryuu sat on the front seat and Kanon and Natsune at the back. Ryuu listened as the two chatted. Natsune was calling Kanon-san, ‘Enna-chan.’ Kanon on the hand, call Natsune ‘Hime-chan.’
It was mainly Natsune who was talking, telling Kanon stories about herself and her brothers.
The journey had gone fairly quick and soon they were in front of the hotel. The other members were already in the lobby waiting for Ryuu.
Yabu stood up when he saw Ryuu.
“Finally! You’re almost late. We have to get going, the Jrs already left. Your parents, too.” He said.
“Sorry, got held up...” Ryuu said. “Come on, Natsune.” He called.
“Natsune will ride with us on our van and-“ Yabu’s voice trailed off and the other members who were making last preparations looked over to see what’s the problem.
“E-enna-chan?!?!” they chorused.
Kanon looked at them wide-eyed.
“Hajimemashite, Fukuda Kanon desu.” She said and bowed at the group.
The group looked at Ryuu.
“Uhm, this is my sister’s friend.” He said awkwardly, “Kanon-san, Hey! Say! JUMP.” He introduced.
Kanon bowed once more and the group gawkily bowed back.
“Wow... you looked exactly like Enna-chan...” Chinen said staring.
Kanon blushed. It wasn’t only Chinen, all of the members were looking at her.
“Niichan-tachi! It’s rude to stare!” Natsune said and the group muttered apologise.
“Uhmm, Kanon-san, Natsune, sit over there first. We’ll be leaving soon.” Ryuu said.
“Yabu-kun,” Ryuu called.
“Hai?” Yabu answered.
“Can Kanon-san come with us in the van?” he asked.
Yabu looked at him.
“Ryuu, who is she? Is she your... girlfriend?” Yabu asked.
“No! She’s really just Natsune’s friend! I’ve only met her today, even. It’s just she’s so similar to Enna-chan that my sister fell in love with her.” Ryuu explained hurriedly.
“Yeah, no kidding.” Yabu said as he looked once more to Kanon who seems to be in a deep conversation with Natsune.
“Natsune wants to watch the performance with her, she cried and cried when I was hesitating to answer...” Ryuu said. He wasn’t really lying, he told himself. He was just leaving out some details.
Yabu looked at him long and hard but he didn’t comment.
“It’s fine with me.” He said. “But what would you tell the staffs? You know you’re not allowed...”
“She’s not my girlfriend!” Ryuu said once more, going red. “I’ll just tell them she’s my cousin or something.”
“Okay then.” Yabu said. "I'll just ask Hikaru to ride in the other van with the others so they can squish in with us in our van."
"Thanks." Ryuu said.
Not long after, they were on their way to the arena.
Natsune and Kanon were sitting at the back with Inoo. Natsune insisted she wanted to sit at the back and as Inoo was already there, Ryuu ended up sitting with Takaki and Yabu in the middle.
Takaki was asleep while Yabu was just quietly looking at the scenes from his window. Ryuu himself was also just quiet. He was listening to the conversation at the back.
The three were happily chattering away. Inoo always did get along well with Natsune.
“Enna-chan! Look! That way’s to your house, right?” Natsune’s cheerful voice asked.
“Yeah... but it’s my grandparent’s house. I live in Tokyo.” Kanon-san said.
“Really?? Then we can see each other there, too!” Natsune squealed.
Kanon didn’t reply so Ryuu thought she must have nodded.
“So this is Enna-chan?” Inoo’s voice piped. “Where’s chibi Enna-chan?” he asked.
“She’s with Niichan...” Natsune said but her voice became glum.
It seems Inoo noticed this because he started pointing out landmarks that they pass by to Natsune-chan.
“Ne, Natsune-chan, do you wanna sit on my lap?” Ryuu heard Kanon say. It seems she was trying to cheer Natsune, too.
“Can I?” Ryuu heard Natsune say.
“Mm,” He heard Kanon say and he imagined she nodded, “I figured you always carry chibi-Enna-chan with you so now it’s time for Enna-Nee-chan to carry you, would you like that?”
Ryuu heard a little squeak followed by Inoo’s laugh and figured that her sister must have tackled Kanon. He smiled at the image.
In no time they were already in the arena. They were greeted by cameras as usual.
Ryuu ignored them and went and search for his parents with Kanon and Natsune. He knew that they wouldn’t include their clips for the DVD.
They found their parents in the Jr’s backstage with Shintaro.
Shintaro choked on his sandwich when he saw them.
“E-e-enna-chan?!?!” he gasped.
Kanon bowed at him, Natsune giggled and Ryuu ignored him, looking instead at his parents.
“Mom, dad, this is Kanon-san.” He introduced. Kanon bowed at them.
“We met her in Sankeien garden and Natsune wanted to bring her here so-” Ryuu continued.
“Mom, she’ll watch Nii-chan-tachi’s performance with us!” Natsune piped.”
Morimoto-san smiled at Kanon. “Hajimemashite, I’m really sorry about my daughter, I know she can be stubborn sometimes. Thanks for coming here with them.”
“It was nothing. Thank you for having me.” Kanon said as she bowed once more.
“Thanks mom.” Ryuu said.
“I’ll have to leave now, Kanon-san, I hope you enjoy the performance.” He said as he smiled at her.
She turned pink but then smiled back. “I know I will. Thank you.”
Ryuu proceeded to SEVEN’s backstage. The others were already preparing, styling their hair, painting their nail, signing autographs...
‘Work time’ Ryuu thought and started his preparations, too.
---
The performance was a success. One more to go and then they could finally rest. Ryuu was both happy and sad about that. He always feels like this every time a tour would end but this time he felt a bit sadder.
This time there were goodbyes. It felt like the tour ending was somehow related to Enna. He hadn’t thought much about Enna-chan all this time. It wasn’t registering that she was already gone. Ryuu felt like when he enters his hotel room, Enna-chan would be there, waiting for him. He knew he wouldn’t think much about it until there was still work to do. And he knew everything would crash when the tour was over.
Now he wishes it would never be over.
“Nii-chan-tachi kakkoi!!!” Ryuu’s trance were interrupted by his little sister’s voice.
“Thanks, Natsune-chan.” Yabu said as he ruffled Natsune’s hair. The other members also gave their thanks to the nine years old girl.
Ryuu only realized now that he hasn’t change into casual clothes. All the others were already arranging their things. He immediately got to work and took his shirt off but then he heard a small squeak.
He turned around and turned very red when he saw Kanon-san covering her eyes. He didn’t notice Natsune came with Kanon!
“I’m so sorry.” Kanon said as she rushed out.
Unfortunately, the other members all witnessed this and were now laughing at the little show.
Ryuu turned redder still and he rushed in changing. He tried to ignore the snide and teasing of the others.
When he was finally done with changing and with arranging his stuff, he went out and met his parents. They would be going back to Tokyo this night, too.
When he met them, Shintaro was still staring at Kanon-san, but Ryuu wasn’t surprise. Kanon-san was the mirror-image of Enna-chan. She even looked more like Enna-chan than the Princess Sayumi.
But he was surprised to see Natsune’s face. And then he realized, she’ll have to say goodbye to Enna-chan for the second time today.
The little girl was trying hard not to cry. Her face was puffy and her were red.
He wanted to say something to her, but he didn’t know what. He then noticed that Kanon-san was also looking at Natsune as if she wanted to say something, too. She was looking at Natsune with concern, she sports a small frown and her brows were a bit furrowed. He figured that must how he look now.
Ryuu inwardly smile. He was really grateful that Kanon-san care for his sister even though they just met hours ago.
“Ryuu, we’ll be going now.” His mom said.
Ryuu nodded and smiled at his mom. “Thanks for coming.”
Kanon spoke too, “Thanks for everything.” She said as she bowed.
Morimoto-san smiled at her, “I should be the one thanking you. Natsune had fun, ne Natsune-chan?”
Natsune nodded but she was looking at the ground.
“Natsune-chan,” their mom called, “We’re going now, say goodbye to your Nii-chan and Nee-chan.”
Natsune finally looked up. She looked at Kanon-san. Ryuu wasn’t expecting it but he wasn’t surprise when she ran and hugged Kanon-san.
Ryuu saw Kanon tearing up but giggling at the same time. “Let’s see each other in Tokyo, ne?” she said.
Ryuu saw Natsune nod against Kanon.
She pulled back and finally smiled at Kanon. “Thank you, Nee-chan.”
And then Natsune looked at Ryuu.
“Nii-chan, can you hold on to Enna-chan for me for now?”
Ryuu smiled at her. “Sure.”
She smiled back. “Thank you, Nii-chan.”
“Ah, Ryuu, send Kanon-san home, ne? It’s already late.” Ryuu’s dad said.
“Ah, no. I’m fine.” Kanon said.
“Don’t worry about it. Sankeien Garden’s on the way back to the hotel.” Ryuu said.
“But, I’ve already intrude...”
“I insist.” Ryuu said.
“Sumimasen.” Kanon bowed. “Thank you.”
“That’s settled then, we’ll be off now.” Morimoto-san said.
“Bye...” Natsune waved and the three waved back.
“Well, let’s go.” Ryuu said when they were finally gone.
The two followed him to the back. Shin proceeded to the Jr’s bus while Kanon and Ryuu to HSJ’s vans.
This time Kanon was squished in between Ryuu and Yuto in the middle seat while Inoo, Yabu and Keito were at the back.
Yuto was showering Kanon with questions. It wasn’t really out of the ordinary. Yuto was just friendly that way.
“Sankeien Garden? You live there? I didn’t know there were residents there...”
Kanon shooked her head. “I live in Tokyo. My mom and dad and I were just visiting my grandparents.” She explained. “But my grandparents do live in Sankeien Garden. They’re the only resident there, though.”
“Why? Do your family own the garden? I thought it was a historical landmark...” Yuto said.
“It is...” Kanon said.
“Well, it’s because they’re royalty.” Ryuu piped.
“Ehh?”
Inoo, Yabu and Keito also stood up from their seats and leaned on the middle seat.
“Royalty?” Yabu asked.
“Eh? Majii?” Inoo exclaimed.
“You’re kidding right?” Yuto said.
“No, it’s true. Kanon-san is basically a princess.” Ryuu said and Kanon blushed crimson.
“Maji??” Inoo said once more.
“It’s true! Kanon-san’s grandma is a cousin of the imperial princesses during Taisho.”
The others looked at Kanon. Kanon timidly nodded. “She was just a distant cousin...” she said.
“Sugee!” Yuto and Inoo said.
“Woah...” Yabu exhaled.
“Can I shake your hand? Royalty... wow...” Keito said. Kanon blushed more.
“So how do you live? I mean, do you normally wear kimono or something?” Inoo, this time, asked.
“No, nothing like that... It’s only my grandma... I live just like everybody else...” she said, she wasn’t really used to people fussing over her like this. And these were not just some people, these were Hey! Say! JUMP.
“She was wearing a kimono when I met her.” Ryuu said. It sounded like he was boasting. Kanon really think her blushed would become permanent.
“Why were you wearing a kimono? Was there an event?” Yuto said.
“No... Uhmm, it was my grandma’s, I was just trying it... I didn’t know we had visitors.”
“Ryuu were inside your house?” Yabu asked.
Kanon nodded.
“Why?” Yabu asked once more but Kanon looked at Ryuu. She didn’t know as well.
“Ah..” Ryuu said, suddenly everyone’s eyes were at him. “Kago-san talked to me at the garden and then he invited me over...” he said.
Yabu nodded.
“And then Natsune saw Kanon-chan?” Inoo said.
Ryuu nodded, “And she fell in love with her. Then she asked me if we can bring her to the concert.” Ryuu explained.
“Ahh.. so that’s what happened.” Yuto said.
They didn’t realize they were already in front of Sankeien Garden.
“Oh, we’re here...” Keito said.
“Ah, thank you.” Kanon said.
Yuto opened the door and stepped out to make way for Kanon. Ryuu followed them.
“I’ll walk you to the house. It’s already dark.” He said.
“You really don’t have to...” Kanon said.
“Just go, you.” Yuto said pushing the two down the pathway.
The two was already out of earshot when Keito said, “A princess huh? Good taste.”
"Ryuutaro's all grown up..." Inoo added.
"Cute." Yuto commented.
"Ehhh?!" Yabu exclaimed.
---
“Thanks for today.” Ryuu said. “And sorry for the bother.”
“Mm..” Kanon shook her head. “I should thank you. Free transportation, free concert, free backstage pass and then I get to meet Natsune-chan, and now Morimoto Ryutaro is walking me home. Thank you so much.” She said beaming.
“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.” Ryuu said.
They were silent for awhile. And then Ryuu spoke up.
“Natsune-chan really liked you...”
“Cause of Enna-chan...”
“Ah... Sorry you had to pretend. It seems she still want to hold onto Enna-chan.”
Kanon smiled, “Don’t worry about Natsune... I think she already let go. She’s fine now.”
Ryuu looked at her questioningly.
“She started calling me Kanon-neechan halfway through your concert.” She said.
Ryuu smiled at that. “That’s good. She really loved that doll. I’m glad she’s fine now.”
“Are you?” Kanon asked and Ryuu looked at her sharply.
“I know you love Enna-chan, too. Do you want me to pretend to be your Enna-chan, too?”
“Ehhh????”
Kanon laughed hard. “Silly! I was just kidding!”
“You surprised me.” Ryuu said.
“I’m sorry, was that overly familiar? I don’t know but because of Natsune’s stories, I feel like I know you very well. I feel more comfortable with you than with the others.” She said, still giggling.
Ryuu shook his head, smiling and then stopped. “Natsune told you stories about me????”
“Nothing embarrassing. The little girl adores you.” She said.
Ryuu sighed. “That’s good.”
“We’re here.” Kanon said as they approached the front door. “Thank you.”
Kanon bowed once more and started ascending the steps.
Ryuu watched her and couldn’t help but, “Kanon-san!”
She turned back, “Hm?”
“A-are you going to meet Natsune again?” he asked.
She nodded, smiling. “she took my number.”
“Ah... That’s good...” Ryuu said.
Kanon finally entered the house and Ryuu turned around to go but then, “Ryutaro-san!”
He looked back. Kanon was peeking out from the front door. “I think you’re fine now, too.”
He smiled at her. “Yeah...”
“Uhmm, bye then.” Kanon said as she started closing the door but then Ryuu called her again.
“By the way!” Kanon looked at him. “Call me Ryuu-kun.”

“Natsune-chan...”

“Natsune, we need to go back now... Nii-chan still has work...” he tried.
“No! I don’t wanna leave Enna-chan!” Natsune said.
“We’re bringing Enna-chan with us.” Ryuu said and he looked at Kago-san. Kago-san and his wife smiled and nodded.

“Sorry, got held up...” Ryuu said. “Come on, Natsune.” He called.
“Natsune will ride with us on our van and-“ Yabu’s voice trailed off and the other members who were making last preparations looked over to see what’s the problem.
“E-enna-chan?!?!” they chorused.
Kanon looked at them wide-eyed.
“Hajimemashite, Fukuda Kanon desu.” She said and bowed at the group.
The group looked at Ryuu.
“Uhm, this is my sister’s friend.” He said awkwardly, “Kanon-san, Hey! Say! JUMP.” He introduced.
Kanon bowed once more and the group gawkily bowed back.
“Wow... you looked exactly like Enna-chan...” Chinen said staring.
Kanon blushed. It wasn’t only Chinen, all of the members were looking at her.
“Niichan-tachi! It’s rude to stare!” Natsune said and the group muttered apologise.
“Uhmm, Kanon-san, Natsune, sit over there first. We’ll be leaving soon.” Ryuu said.
“Yabu-kun,” Ryuu called.
“Hai?” Yabu answered.
“Can Kanon-san come with us in the van?” he asked.
Yabu looked at him.
“Ryuu, who is she? Is she your... girlfriend?” Yabu asked.
“No! She’s really just Natsune’s friend! I’ve only met her today, even. It’s just she’s so similar to Enna-chan that my sister fell in love with her.” Ryuu explained hurriedly.

The three were happily chattering away. Inoo always did get along well with Natsune.
“Enna-chan! Look! That way’s to your house, right?” Natsune’s cheerful voice asked.
“Yeah... but it’s my grandparent’s house. I live in Tokyo.” Kanon-san said.
“Really?? Then we can see each other there, too!” Natsune squealed.
Kanon didn’t reply so Ryuu thought she must have nodded.
“So this is Enna-chan?” Inoo’s voice piped. “Where’s chibi Enna-chan?” he asked.
“She’s with Niichan...” Natsune said but her voice became glum.
It seems Inoo noticed this because he started pointing out landmarks that they pass by to Natsune-chan.
“Ne, Natsune-chan, do you wanna sit on my lap?” Ryuu heard Kanon say. It seems she was trying to cheer Natsune, too.
“Can I?” Ryuu heard Natsune say.
“Mm,” He heard Kanon say and he imagined she nodded, “I figured you always carry chibi-Enna-chan with you so now it’s time for Enna-Nee-chan to carry you, would you like that?”
Ryuu heard a little squeak followed by Inoo’s laugh and figured that her sister must have tackled Kanon. He smiled at the image.
In no time they were already in the arena. They were greeted by cameras as usual.
Ryuu ignored them and went and search for his parents with Kanon and Natsune. He knew that they wouldn’t include their clips for the DVD.
They found their parents in the Jr’s backstage with Shintaro.
Shintaro choked on his sandwich when he saw them.
“E-e-enna-chan?!?!” he gasped.
Kanon bowed at him, Natsune giggled and Ryuu ignored him, looking instead at his parents.
“Mom, dad, this is Kanon-san.” He introduced. Kanon bowed at them.
“We met her in Sankeien garden and Natsune wanted to bring her here so-” Ryuu continued.
“Mom, she’ll watch Nii-chan-tachi’s performance with us!” Natsune piped.”
Morimoto-san smiled at Kanon. “Hajimemashite, I’m really sorry about my daughter, I know she can be stubborn sometimes. Thanks for coming here with them.”
“It was nothing. Thank you for having me.” Kanon said as she bowed once more.
“Thanks mom.” Ryuu said.
“I’ll have to leave now, Kanon-san, I hope you enjoy the performance.” He said as he smiled at her.
She turned pink but then smiled back. “I know I will. Thank you.”
Ryuu proceeded to SEVEN’s backstage. The others were already preparing, styling their hair, painting their nail, signing autographs...
‘Work time’ Ryuu thought and started his preparations, too.
---
The performance was a success. One more to go and then they could finally rest. Ryuu was both happy and sad about that. He always feels like this every time a tour would end but this time he felt a bit sadder.
This time there were goodbyes. It felt like the tour ending was somehow related to Enna. He hadn’t thought much about Enna-chan all this time. It wasn’t registering that she was already gone. Ryuu felt like when he enters his hotel room, Enna-chan would be there, waiting for him. He knew he wouldn’t think much about it until there was still work to do. And he knew everything would crash when the tour was over.
Now he wishes it would never be over.
“Nii-chan-tachi kakkoi!!!” Ryuu’s trance were interrupted by his little sister’s voice.
“Thanks, Natsune-chan.” Yabu said as he ruffled Natsune’s hair. The other members also gave their thanks to the nine years old girl.
Ryuu only realized now that he hasn’t change into casual clothes. All the others were already arranging their things. He immediately got to work and took his shirt off but then he heard a small squeak.
He turned around and turned very red when he saw Kanon-san covering her eyes. He didn’t notice Natsune came with Kanon!
“I’m so sorry.” Kanon said as she rushed out.
Unfortunately, the other members all witnessed this and were now laughing at the little show.
Ryuu turned redder still and he rushed in changing. He tried to ignore the snide and teasing of the others.
When he was finally done with changing and with arranging his stuff, he went out and met his parents. They would be going back to Tokyo this night, too.
When he met them, Shintaro was still staring at Kanon-san, but Ryuu wasn’t surprise. Kanon-san was the mirror-image of Enna-chan. She even looked more like Enna-chan than the Princess Sayumi.
But he was surprised to see Natsune’s face. And then he realized, she’ll have to say goodbye to Enna-chan for the second time today.
The little girl was trying hard not to cry. Her face was puffy and her were red.
He wanted to say something to her, but he didn’t know what. He then noticed that Kanon-san was also looking at Natsune as if she wanted to say something, too. She was looking at Natsune with concern, she sports a small frown and her brows were a bit furrowed. He figured that must how he look now.
Ryuu inwardly smile. He was really grateful that Kanon-san care for his sister even though they just met hours ago.
“Ryuu, we’ll be going now.” His mom said.
Ryuu nodded and smiled at his mom. “Thanks for coming.”
Kanon spoke too, “Thanks for everything.” She said as she bowed.
Morimoto-san smiled at her, “I should be the one thanking you. Natsune had fun, ne Natsune-chan?”
Natsune nodded but she was looking at the ground.
“Natsune-chan,” their mom called, “We’re going now, say goodbye to your Nii-chan and Nee-chan.”
Natsune finally looked up. She looked at Kanon-san. Ryuu wasn’t expecting it but he wasn’t surprise when she ran and hugged Kanon-san.
Ryuu saw Kanon tearing up but giggling at the same time. “Let’s see each other in Tokyo, ne?” she said.
Ryuu saw Natsune nod against Kanon.
She pulled back and finally smiled at Kanon. “Thank you, Nee-chan.”
And then Natsune looked at Ryuu.
“Nii-chan, can you hold on to Enna-chan for me for now?”
Ryuu smiled at her. “Sure.”
She smiled back. “Thank you, Nii-chan.”
“Ah, Ryuu, send Kanon-san home, ne? It’s already late.” Ryuu’s dad said.
“Ah, no. I’m fine.” Kanon said.
“Don’t worry about it. Sankeien Garden’s on the way back to the hotel.” Ryuu said.
“But, I’ve already intrude...”
“I insist.” Ryuu said.
“Sumimasen.” Kanon bowed. “Thank you.”
“That’s settled then, we’ll be off now.” Morimoto-san said.
“Bye...” Natsune waved and the three waved back.
“Well, let’s go.” Ryuu said when they were finally gone.
The two followed him to the back. Shin proceeded to the Jr’s bus while Kanon and Ryuu to HSJ’s vans.
This time Kanon was squished in between Ryuu and Yuto in the middle seat while Inoo, Yabu and Keito were at the back.
Yuto was showering Kanon with questions. It wasn’t really out of the ordinary. Yuto was just friendly that way.
“Sankeien Garden? You live there? I didn’t know there were residents there...”
Kanon shooked her head. “I live in Tokyo. My mom and dad and I were just visiting my grandparents.” She explained. “But my grandparents do live in Sankeien Garden. They’re the only resident there, though.”
“Why? Do your family own the garden? I thought it was a historical landmark...” Yuto said.
“It is...” Kanon said.
“Well, it’s because they’re royalty.” Ryuu piped.
“Ehh?”
Inoo, Yabu and Keito also stood up from their seats and leaned on the middle seat.
“Royalty?” Yabu asked.
“Eh? Majii?” Inoo exclaimed.
“You’re kidding right?” Yuto said.
“No, it’s true. Kanon-san is basically a princess.” Ryuu said and Kanon blushed crimson.
“Maji??” Inoo said once more.
“It’s true! Kanon-san’s grandma is a cousin of the imperial princesses during Taisho.”
The others looked at Kanon. Kanon timidly nodded. “She was just a distant cousin...” she said.
“Sugee!” Yuto and Inoo said.
“Woah...” Yabu exhaled.
“Can I shake your hand? Royalty... wow...” Keito said. Kanon blushed more.
“So how do you live? I mean, do you normally wear kimono or something?” Inoo, this time, asked.
“No, nothing like that... It’s only my grandma... I live just like everybody else...” she said, she wasn’t really used to people fussing over her like this. And these were not just some people, these were Hey! Say! JUMP.
“She was wearing a kimono when I met her.” Ryuu said. It sounded like he was boasting. Kanon really think her blushed would become permanent.
“Why were you wearing a kimono? Was there an event?” Yuto said.
“No... Uhmm, it was my grandma’s, I was just trying it... I didn’t know we had visitors.”
“Ryuu were inside your house?” Yabu asked.
Kanon nodded.
“Why?” Yabu asked once more but Kanon looked at Ryuu. She didn’t know as well.
“Ah..” Ryuu said, suddenly everyone’s eyes were at him. “Kago-san talked to me at the garden and then he invited me over...” he said.
Yabu nodded.
“And then Natsune saw Kanon-chan?” Inoo said.
Ryuu nodded, “And she fell in love with her. Then she asked me if we can bring her to the concert.” Ryuu explained.
“Ahh.. so that’s what happened.” Yuto said.
They didn’t realize they were already in front of Sankeien Garden.
“Oh, we’re here...” Keito said.
“Ah, thank you.” Kanon said.
Yuto opened the door and stepped out to make way for Kanon. Ryuu followed them.
“I’ll walk you to the house. It’s already dark.” He said.
“You really don’t have to...” Kanon said.
“Just go, you.” Yuto said pushing the two down the pathway.
The two was already out of earshot when Keito said, “A princess huh? Good taste.”
"Ryuutaro's all grown up..." Inoo added.
"Cute." Yuto commented.
"Ehhh?!" Yabu exclaimed.
---
“Thanks for today.” Ryuu said. “And sorry for the bother.”
“Mm..” Kanon shook her head. “I should thank you. Free transportation, free concert, free backstage pass and then I get to meet Natsune-chan, and now Morimoto Ryutaro is walking me home. Thank you so much.” She said beaming.
“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.” Ryuu said.
They were silent for awhile. And then Ryuu spoke up.
“Natsune-chan really liked you...”
“Cause of Enna-chan...”
“Ah... Sorry you had to pretend. It seems she still want to hold onto Enna-chan.”
Kanon smiled, “Don’t worry about Natsune... I think she already let go. She’s fine now.”
Ryuu looked at her questioningly.
“She started calling me Kanon-neechan halfway through your concert.” She said.
Ryuu smiled at that. “That’s good. She really loved that doll. I’m glad she’s fine now.”
“Are you?” Kanon asked and Ryuu looked at her sharply.
“I know you love Enna-chan, too. Do you want me to pretend to be your Enna-chan, too?”
“Ehhh????”
Kanon laughed hard. “Silly! I was just kidding!”
“You surprised me.” Ryuu said.
“I’m sorry, was that overly familiar? I don’t know but because of Natsune’s stories, I feel like I know you very well. I feel more comfortable with you than with the others.” She said, still giggling.
Ryuu shook his head, smiling and then stopped. “Natsune told you stories about me????”
“Nothing embarrassing. The little girl adores you.” She said.
Ryuu sighed. “That’s good.”
“We’re here.” Kanon said as they approached the front door. “Thank you.”
Kanon bowed once more and started ascending the steps.
Ryuu watched her and couldn’t help but, “Kanon-san!”
She turned back, “Hm?”
“A-are you going to meet Natsune again?” he asked.
She nodded, smiling. “she took my number.”
“Ah... That’s good...” Ryuu said.
Kanon finally entered the house and Ryuu turned around to go but then, “Ryutaro-san!”
He looked back. Kanon was peeking out from the front door. “I think you’re fine now, too.”
He smiled at her. “Yeah...”
“Uhmm, bye then.” Kanon said as she started closing the door but then Ryuu called her again.
“By the way!” Kanon looked at him. “Call me Ryuu-kun.”
