Chapter 52: Kaede Tanimoto
Chapter 52: Kaede Tanimoto
The next few days were uneventful except for the fact that some delinquents came to destroy the theatre club but were dealt by Kenichi making them run away, after which Nina pestering Kenichi to officially join the alliance as well as him suspecting Tanimoto for being not a genuine person.
Kenichi knew everything about him that there is to know and he didn't wanted to get harrassed by Niijima all day long so whenever he came to him Kenichi will go to Saeko making him run away in fear.
SATURDAY
Miu's play was on Sunday, so she was practicing really hard today and wasn't able to accompany Kenichi to the hospital to meet the person he has been seeing for such a long time but Kenichi had Saeko who was still accompanying him.
On the way Kenichi and Saeko kept talking to eachother about what they did for the year that they didn't meet making the conversation interesting for eachother.
After reaching the hospital Kenichi took Saeko towards a patient room where a blonde girl around the same age of Honoka was lying on the bed.
"How are you Kaede!? Look I have brought someone to meet you" Kenichi said while entering the room.
Kaede turned her head while smiling when she heard Kenichi's voice and said "You came Big brother Kenichi, I thought you have forgotten about me"
"How could I!? It's just that school has started this month only so I came a little late that's all it won't happen again I promise" Kenichi said
"Hmnp... ok, I will let it go since it's your first time but you won't be forgiven so easily next time, now introduce me to this beautiful big sis" Kaede said while trying to make an angry face.
"Ok, Ok this girl here is Saeko Busujima my girlfriend and Saeko this is Kaede Tanimoto whome I met 6 years ago and have been meeting her since then" Kenichi introduced the two to each other and let them talk by themselves which was really easy since Kaede is cheerful girl who likes to meet knew people and Saeko's personality is likeable to everyone.
Looking at Kaede, Kenichi remembered how he met her 6 years ago all because his father who was the only person not nourished by Kenichi's internal energy got ill and they came to hospital where he saw the small Natsu Tanimoto and after following him he saw his little sister Kaede as well.
At that time when Kenichi got to know she was very ill he used his internal energy to nourish and heal her body, though he still hasn't completely healed her it was because the strength needed to heal a terminal illness isn't small which he only came to poses now.
Only after seeing her did Kenichi remembered all the information there was on the two of them Kaede and Natsu were orphans until they were adopted by a wealthy business man. Natsu worked hard to be the best heir his step-father could be for his sister, who was born with a deadly illness. When the step-father finally took Kaede to one of his medical ficilities, he fell in love with the female doctor working there and married her.
For a brief period, the family of four were happy, with even the step-father sincerely smiling. However, the peace was short-lived, as the step-father was found dead one morning, though the police were unable to confirm the cause. The police immediately suspected the step-mother as the culprit and took her away, leaving Natsu to run the company by himself. Sometime later, Natsu discovered that the step-mother never really treated Kaede's sickness and that her condition had worsened. While on her death bed, Kaede's final words were for her brother to never give in.
These words made Tanimoto more cold and unapproachable towards others and the only one he ever cared about was Kenichi's sister as he always saw his sister in her.
"Now that she is alive, how much change will occur in him" thought Kenichi.
"Ne ne Big brother Kenichi" Kaede said.
"Yes, what is it Kaede" asked Kenichi
"The doctor said that with the speed I was healing I will be completely healthy at that time you will have meet my brother ok" Kaede said.
Yes, as I promised I will meet him after you are completely healthy" Kenichi said while sitting on the stool beside her bead holding amd holding her hand and using his internal energy to start healing her.
"Ok then but tell me how much time will it really take me to be completely healthy brother Kenichi" Kaede asked as she felt a pure energy coursing through her body making her feel good.
"Don't worry Kaede you will be fine in a month at most" Kenichi said smilingly.
"Thank you Brother Kenichi" Kaede said
"Your welcome Kaede" Kenichi said as he let go her hand and brushed her hairs with his hands like kid.
"Moo... don't mess up my hair" Kaede said as she tried to smooth down her hair.
"hahaha now that's one of my enjoyments how can let it go so easily" Kenichi said.
Looking at the two of them playing and bantering with eachother Saeko smiled and said "You shouldn't tease a girl like that Kenichi! girls really like to take care of there hairstyles"
"Ok, I won't" Kenichi said and stopped teasing Kaede.
After talking with her sometime Kenichi said "Now we should get going, your brother must be coming right now" said Kenichi as he stood up.
"Hmm ok but please come and meet me some more times" Kaede said.
"Ok I will, bye Kaede" Kenichi said.
"Bye-bye Brother Kenichi, sister Saeko" Kaede replied while waving his hand.
"Bye" Saeko said with a smile on her face as she waved her hand as well.
As they came out of the room, Kenichi saw from the window that Tanimoto was entering the Hospital "Let's go around from there Saeko" Kenichi said.
Why Kenichi!?" asked Saeko
"Well there is a Snack shop there and I was thinking of buying some chocolates for your sister as she likes them a lot" Kenichi said.
"Oh! ok then let's go" Saeko said as they started walking in that direction.
After buying the chocolates Kenichi and Saeko exited from the hospital safely without Tanimoto seeing them.
"Ok now let's go meet your sister" Kenichi said after they got our of the hospital
"Mmnn" Saeko noised her voice while nodding her head.
