Chapter 124 - The Little Sunflower.

Everyone moves away to a more secluded area as the everyone stands staring.

''So...Togata, about the apparition what was that anyway? Was I just still drunk and hallucinating?''. Miyu asks.

''Drunk!?''. Everyone shouts.

''You didn't mention she was drunk!''. Aira shout-whispers into Togata's ear.

''Never mind that. Miss...Before I tell you I need to ask you a question first. Your daughter, you said that they ran all sorts of tests on her and couldn't find anything wrong with her...And she's still sick?''. Togata asks.

''Yes, why?''. Miyu replies.

''Huh?...Oh I get it''. Momo says crossing her arms.

''I see''. Okarun comments adjusting his glasses.

Togata sighs as he takes of his glasses and rubs his eyes.

''What's wrong, why did all of you get serious all of a sudden?''. Miyu asks.

''Miss...You weren't hallucinating''. Okarun says.

''What do you mean? So all that stuff was real!?''. Miyu shouts.

''Do you believe in the supernatural?''. Togata asks.

''The supernatural? Is this a joke?''. Miyu asks.

''This is no such thing''. Kinta says.

''So you're telling me that ghosts and spirits and stuff are real?''. Miyu asks.

''Yeah''. Aira replies.

''Oh, I know, you're kidding aren't you guys? Togata I get it but you didn't have to bring my daughter into this''. Miyu sighs.

''Tick come out''. Togata sighs.

''You called young master''. Tick says as he appears with a bow.

Miyu immediately jumps back falling onto the ground. ''AHH! HUH?! No this isn't real I'm dreaming!''. 

She covers her eyes dramatically as she starts counting.

Aira and Momo laugh at her.

''First time seeing a ghost?''. Aira jokes.

''What kind of trick is this?!". Miyu shouts.

Tick floats up to her as he uncovers her eyes. ''This is no trick of the mind, nor eye miss, I am Albert Tick, the apparition you saw a while back. Nice to make your acquaintance once again''. 

Miyu stands up eyes wide as she struggles to breath.

''Do calm down I am a...well...Friendly ghost, although your daughter might not have the same luck''. Tick says.

Miyu immediately composes herself as she hears that. ''What do you mean? You think her illness is caused by...''.

''A spirit most probably''. Okarun replies. ''Especially if the doctors don't know what's wrong with her''.

''Alright...Miss Miyu, if you don't mind we can come over to the hospital and confirm our suspicions''. Togata says.

''How?''. Miyu asks.

''Oh oh! I know! Momo can see spirits''. Jiji says.

''Really how?''. Miyu asks.

''Hhehe''. Momo giggles.

She puts her hands on her hips, her chin lifting just a little.

''Yeah whatever stop being so smug, her grandmother is a spirit medium''. Aira says.

''Yeah, I've been seeing this stuff since forever. Spirits, auras, weird vibes, this is basic for me''. Momo brags.

''Lies, you just unlocked it or something''. Aira points out.

''How would you know? You weren't there!''. Momo replies.

The two lock hands wrestling.

''I was so there! I saw your power and thought it was wings remember!". Aira shouts.

''Oh yeah you were a total nutcase!''. Momo shouts.

''Say that again!''. Aira replies.

''Alright stop arguing, Momo, come with me to the hospital''. Togata says.

''Ugh! I'm hungry! Can't it wait till I eat lunch''. Momo complains.

''I'll buy you something there''. Togata says.

''Awww Togey, you're too good to me''. Momo says pretending to be a baby.

''Oooh, genewous, genewous''. Jiji jokes.

''Uh huh''. Togata replies with a smile. ''And to the rest of you, we'll meet up at Momo's later''.

''Huh what? Wait I'm coming with''. Aira says.

''And why would you do that? We don't need you''. Momo says.

''I'll come with because I'm leader and anything this group does I'll lead! Sorry to take the control away Togata, but you, Momo and I will go to the hospital''. Aira says.

''No worries''. Togata sighs.

''Hey wait. Shouldn't we should bring someone who can fight just in case things get ugly''. Okarun asks. ''I'll go with too if that's alright''.

''Fight!?''. Miyu shouts.

''Of course it is Takakura!''. Aira replies lovingly.

''Wait but isn't this kind of overkill, I think, I, Aira and Togata can handle things just fine in case they get ugly''. Momo says.

''Good point but I think Okarun is right, it's a hospital so being too easy dealing with the spirit isn't really a problem especially when it comes to keeping everyone safe. Come with Okarun''. Togata says.

''Okay''. Okarun replies.

''Hey wait I wanna go too! I mean Togata just said there's no such thing as overkill so I can go right?!''. Jiji asks.

''This is becoming quite the team excursion''. Tick jokes.

''Fine sure''. Togata replies. ''Let's get goi...''.

''Well then it seems it will just be you and I miss Vamola! Alone...At Miss Momo's house hehe''. Kinta jokes.

''I can come too right Togata''. Vamola says putting a hand up immediately.

Togata sighs. ''Sure...But we really have to...''.

''If miss Vamola is going I shall go with!''. Kinta shouts.

''Whatever! We're wasting time! Everyone just come with!''. Momo shouts.

''Lead the way miss Miyu''. Okarun says.

''O...Ok''. Miyu sighs.

''Wait how are we gonna get there!? There are way too many of us and I'm not sure the subway goes there''. Aira points out.

''It doesn't I take a taxi there''. Miyu says.

''Yeah and who shall pay the fare for this fair ride?''. Kinta asks.

''I don't have any money on me''. Okarun says.

Suddenly everyone looks at Togata.

''This is mutiny! I knew eventually you would ask him for money! And I know miss Momo has been itching too ever since they met!''. Tick shouts.

''Hey! I was not! Who do you think I am some gold digger!?...Anyway for your information I have a job! I can pay if I wanted to!''. Momo shouts offended.

''I see, My deepest apologies then''. Tick replies.

''You better apologize!....And it's not like friends don't give friends money!''. Momo shouts.

''I knew it!''. Tick shouts.

''Calm down Tick. I'll pay I don't care let's just go...Hide by the way''. Togata sighs.

''We will continue this conversation later!''. Tick says as he flies into Togata's body.

Miyu watches surprised.

''Yeah good riddance!''. Momo shouts blowing raspberries at him.

Togata calls for a taxi as it parks.

''Where to?''. The driver asks.

''Kamigoe state hospital''. Togata says.

''Uhh...All of you?''. The driver asks looking at them.

''Yes...''. Togata sighs.

''I see''. The driver replies.

Everyone squeezes themselves into a taxi as Miyu sits in the passenger seat and Aira fawns sitting between Togata and Okarun as Momo notices while Kinta purposefully squeezes in next to Vamola as Jiji bothers the taxi driver.

''You sho are a kyoootie!''. Jiji jokes.

''What?''. The driver asks confused.

''Alright we're here''. The driver says.

Everyone squeezes back out of the car as they plop onto the floor.

Miyu just laughs as she watches them.

Togata pays the driver as they all head inside and walk towards the front desk.

''How is my daughter?''. Miyu asks 

''Ahh miss Miyu...I'm glad you're here...She's not doing well, I'm sorry''. The lady replies.

''...It's alright''. Miyu sighs.

''Are you going to visit her?''. The lady asks.

''Yes''. Miyu replies.

''With all these people?''. The lady asks.

''...Yes''. Miyu replies with a nervous smile.

''Well, not everyone can go in at once, only four at a time okay?''. The lady says with a smile.

''Of course...C'mon everyone let's go''. Miyu says.

Momo turns to face the others as Jiji bothers a doctor and Vamola asks for something from the vending machine to Kinta looks around the hospital for spare change.

''Uh, Okarun, keep the weirdos from making a scene alright?''. Momo says.

''Yeah I will, you guys go we'll be fine''. Okarun sighs.

''We'll be quick. Tick help out over here but don't be seen''. Togata says.

Tick immediately flies out of his body as he becomes invisible.

''Alright let's go already''. Momo says.

Miyu leads them to the room as Aira still stares at her suspiciously.

''So lady how old is your daughter? Is she our age or something?''. Aira asks.

''Lady? C'mon''. Togata sighs.

''Yeah, I don't know her''. Aira replies.

''It's alright Togata''. Miyu says with a smile. ''My daughter is eight and her name is Hinano''.

She replies as she enters a room on the left before Togata, Momo, Aira and her step inside.

''HUH!?''. Aira gasps dramatically.

''Mommy!''. 

A girl shouts out from the bed in front of them as she sits down, eager to get up but a doctor beside her stops her.

''Please sit, I know you're excited but you need to stay calm and stay still okay little lady?''. The doctor says with a smile as a nurse beside him sets an IV line for the girl.

''Yes sir...''. Hinano replies sadly.

''Honey, I'm glad you're feeling better''. Miyu says as she goes over to hug her.

''I am mommy! But this lady still gave me and injection!''. Hinano says pouting.

''It's an IV Hinano''. Miyu replies with a smile.

''And it's all done. See that wasn't so painful was it?''. The nurse jokes.

''It was, but I'm strong!". Hinano replies.

Everyone laughs as Aira still stares mouth wide.

The doctor gets up as he whispers to Miyu. ''Miss Miyu, may we speak later if that's alright?''.

''Of course''. Miyu replies.

''Alright we'll leave you two to catch up''. The doctor says with a smile as he leaves the room with the nurse.

''I brought you something I know you'll like''. Miyu smiles as she brings a bar of chocolate from her bag.

''AHH! You're the best mommy!''. Hinano smiles as she takes it immediately and devours it in front of them.

''Woah sweet tooth, kind of like you Togata''. Momo jokes.

''Different reasons''. Togata replies blankly.

''Oh yeah? I think you just have a taste for it. Speaking of taste weren't you supposed to buy me some lunch when we got here?''. Momo asks.

''When you're finish with the job you get food''. Togata jokes as he smirks and walks towards the hospital bed.

''Huh!? Stingy stingy!". Momo sulks as she follows after him.

Hinano eats as she looks at the three. ''Mommy who are these people?''.

''They are...Friends of mine Hinano''. Miyu replies. ''Say hi''.

''Hi mommy's friends''. Hinano says with a smile.

''Yo''. Momo replies with a peace sign.

''Pleased to meet you little one, how are you doing?''. Togata replies as he pats her head.

''Huh...Huh??''. Aira gasps still standing there.

''What's wrong with you''. Momo asks.

''You said you had a daughter!''. Aira shouts.

''Yes...I said so earlier''. Miyu replies confused.

''What you didn't say is that she was such a cutie pie!''. Aira shouts as she goes over and starts pampering Hinano as she smiles.

''Huh?''. Momo asks confused. ''The hell's wrong with you?''.

Togata just smiles as he watches.

''Oh yeah. You got a soft spot for little kid's like Chiquitita don't you Aira...Huh you wanna be a mom don't you?''. Momo teases.

''Shut it''. Aira replies still playing with Hinano.

''Alright calm down, Momo, do your thing''. Togata says.

''Alrighty''. Momo says as she stretches and moves back to face the foot of the bed stretching her hands out and closing her eyes. ''Let's see what's inside your little girl''.

''Don't say it like that''. Aira replies.
