Takeshi Haruka POV:
My 8th birthday was 8 days ago, most people would be happy, however I'm not the reason why is because.
Flashback-
Year:X673 July , 14
I found grandma unconscious on the floor , reasoning because I just found about her medical condition.
Grandma's medical condition wasn't stable enough for her aging body. I have noted many early symptoms,this past year. She was getting worse each month until finally
Year:X673 November, 23
Location:Hospital
Grandma and I were in a hospital, she was the patient, I was seating down on a chair beside her medical bed.
"I'm sorry patient Hana Haruka but from, our medical staff team analyzes you have exactly 49 days left to live."
The head doctor Kato Hachiro reported his medical thesis.
"I see…"
Grandma said both physical and mental weak.

49 days isn't very far away, it's just in range of my birth day.
I could feel, heavy tears pouring down my face, why does my birth month bring such misfortune.
"Starting January Hana Haruka will be hospitalized, during that time you will be free of charge to pay your visit."
A nurse staff said to me in comfort tone,I didn't listen.All I could think of was my sort time with grandma.
Flashbacks end-
In just about three days grandma will pass do to old age, a natural cause, yet I feel a bitter much higher now than when I first knew. Maybe it was because I knew it was coming.
I went over to the lake where this time, ice was there,It had been snowing almost two whole weeks. I went over and immediately placed myself into a Burmese position.
I took a big deep breath.
•INHALE.
•EXHALE.
•INHALE.
•EXHALE.
•INHALE.
•EXHALE.
I took deep breaths, they are usually used for a more unrelaxe minds, I could feel my heart rate slowing down, in a much more natural pace, my emotions have calmed down, I feel more at ease, since I've been lacking in my physical training and not like my mana manipulation and magic spells.
A new, training routine will be need to take place,
200-push ups
200-sit ups
200-squats
100-lunges
100-jumping jacks
10 kilometers must compete under 20 minutes.
2 hours later-
I went home, the Shinohara family had also heard the news of my grandmother medical condition, they've given me a lot of sympathy, I had even come over for dinners, They've had invited me to come over again, but I politely declined there generous offer maybe some other time m, instead I will go learned new magic spells, it would help me focus.
I opened the types of magic books.
The magic I think about learning will be two different magics.
Light magic and Dark magic.
I'll start with Light I will learn 3 new spells
1.)Light Blast: Release light over a specific target area.
2.)Light Bolt Projection: Release low powered projectiles of light.
3.)Light Bomb Generation: Create bombs/explosions of light.
I than flipped to the dark magic spells and picked out 3 new spells.
1.)Darkness Infusion:infuse subjects or items with darkness/shadow.
2.)Shadow stealth:The power to hide within the shadows.
3.)Shadow storage:The power to seal items into your shadow.
Now than, I think it's time to learn, some basic sealing magic I scanned over two, that sounded simple enough.
1.)Binding whip:A whip that seals off mana.
It's simple and can easily be modified.
2.)Sealing attack: The ability to release/use seals/sealing power for various attacks.
I looked over at the sky and it's night time. I was so focused that I didn't even notice.I made my way back inside the house, I walked into the kitchen and thought of what to eat.
Salmon Kushiyaki it's.
I Soak four 10-inch bamboo paddle skewers in water for 30 minutes, Meanwhile I combine a mirin and sake in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce to a simmer, add the brown sugar and cook, whisking until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the miso and whisk until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
Let cool, then remove 1/4 cup and set aside for brushing.
Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon cubes in a baking dish, tossing to coat.
1 hour and 30 minutes later-
I finished making Salmon Kushiyaki ,I made enough for three people, I'll eat the leftovers tomorrow morning.
In the meantime.
"Itadakimasu!"
•much
"Not bad."

28 hours until Hana Haruka passes away.
I get off my bed, looked at the dirty clothes in my laundry basket, I picked the basket up and headed to the washing machine and made sure to separate the warm colors from the cool colors.
While they washed I head over to the kitchen and begin sweeping all around the kitchen. I was going to mob the floor , but than I realized I'm a water mage, so I went over to the sink and manipulated the water and lead it flow naturally than absorbed the water back.

You see that, I'm a genius wait I just realized I could probably washed my clothes myself…
…

Anyways.
I gaze at the kitchen trash bin, it was full I headed over to it and pulled out the trash bag than tied the bag and walked outside towards a garbage bin and dumped the trash bag.
I next I went back to the laundry room I opened washing machine, instead of waiting to dry the clothes, I sucked out 90% of the water and let the other 10% natural dry out.
I went back to the kitchen and opened the fridge and finished all the remaining leftovers.
18 hours before Hana Haruka passes-
I went over to the hospital and paid visit to grandma, my heart almost dropped she doesn't look healthy at all anymore.
"Helllo.. Takeshi..."
Grandma said barely cable of speaking.
"Hello grandma"
I said forcing a big smile despite my water eyes.
"Don't..cry..."
Grandma Comfort me despite how fragile she looked.
"I won't cry!!"
I cried out determined, in spite of my emotions being heightened.
"Thats…good..dear.."
•cough
•cough
"Take..shi, can you do grand.ma a favor."
•cough
"Yes!"
I replied instantly.
"When I pass could you bury me next to my family."
Grandma asked me more clearly.
"I will, I'll come visit tomorrow grandma."
14 hours before Hana Haruka passes-
I went to go do my new exercise routine, my eyes gaze at the lake it wasn't frozen anymore.I also looked over at the father and son duo.
"Hello Mr Shinohara and hello Yoshito!"
Yoshito is currently 11 years old.
I said while waving at them.
"Ready for physical training today."
"Yes sir!"
I shouted ,standing straight into a salute.
2-hours went by they invited me to dinner, I accepted their offer.
At the Shinohara household , I was greeted by the young adult, Yuichi who is 17 years old.
"Welcome Takeshi."
Mrs.Shinohara made Gyudon.
"Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu!"
"Thanks for the food Mrs. Shinohara and thank you for inviting me Mr.Shinohara."
I waved goodbye to each family member and headed to grandmas house.
I went and took a 15 minute shower,afterwards I went to bed.
Year:X674 January, 11
2 hours before Hana Haruka passes-
I woke earlier than usual so I could spend more time with grandma.
I was right beside her medical bed, she was sleeping in a peaceful slumber.
15 minutes before Hana Haruka passes-
Grandma has woken up, she looked at peace.
"Is..that..you..Take."
Grandma called out, my father named,meaning right now grandma life is flashing before her eyes.
"Yes."
I replied weakly.
"Good"
…
"Good."
"Listen.. Big Takeshi .. don't forget to."
"Eat… .sleep… plenty."
"Meet… new…people and…"
"Enjoy..your…Life.."
"To… the.."
"Fullest.."
"Thank..you…for.."
"Being..part..
"Of…"
"My.."

Grandma finished talking and gently fall back to sleep.

10 minutes later-
I finally stopped crying, only because I can't shed any more tears.
•smack
I smack my face cheeks to wake up.
You can't be little Takeshi anymore , you need to be Big Takeshi from now on.
So I'll honor grandma last request, I'll bury her by the other Haruka family.
I'll make my way to the cemetery ,but before that I made my way back home and picked up a few flowers from the small garden grandma had on the front porch.
I took them because they were grandmothers favorite flowers, also because tomorrow there's going to be a shit face, that will buy grandmas house. Whoever they're , won't bother with a childs sympathy. The worst part my grandmother's inheritance,will mostly be stolen from the village higher ups.
Well it doesn't matter since the hospital knows I'm a orphan, it's only matter of time before I'm forced into an orphanage.
Anyways made my way over and thanks to the Shinohara family, they brought grandma's crops to the cemetery,my gaze landed on a shovel ,I picked up the shovel and began digging.I gently placed down grandma's body into the pit,than buried her.
I than placed down flowers on 4 different gravestone.
1.) Takao Haruka.
2.)Hana Haruka
3.) Take Haruka.
4.)Emi Kumagi.
"Thank you grandma for being apart of my life."
I went back to grandma's house, I didn't feel like eating anything,however I need to eat, so a simple rice ball will do.
