Birthday specail (3)

The Suzuki family are fortune tellers guard the magic of taming and keeping the Kuda-gitsune*. Being raised as a muggle, Chizuko had no idea of her magical abilities until her grandma was killed one night.

Finally into the story (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Zenitsu slumped on a branch under the crimson maple leafs.

Everyone, every single person he knew, had forgotten that perhaps today was a special day.

What have you been expecting for someone like himself, a voice inside his mind sounded, who else besides Gramps will truly care for him from the bottom of his or her heart?

"Zenitsu-kun?" Chizuko poked his shoulder, "A-Ano... Zenitsu-kun? Zenitsu-kun!"

"Zenitsu-kun!!!" Chizuko yelled, startling Zenitsu.

"A-Ah! I-I'm sorry!" Chizuko apologised, handing Zenitsu a neatly wrapped gift, "Zenitsu-kun, I... I just wanted to say... Happy Birthday!"

Zenitsu could only stare at the rectangular box wide eyed in disbelief, "Chizuko-chan? I-Is this really for me?"

Chizuko smiled reassuringly, "Of course! Zenitsu-kun! B-But don't let Mui-kun see it though, he'll act all strange agai-"

Chiuzko was engulfed in a bone-crushing hug before she could finish.

"KYAAAAA!!! Chizuko-chan you're the best!!!" Zenitsu exclaimed, "Those idiots Tanjiro and Inosuke have totally forgotten about my birthday! Nezuko-chan must still be sleeping at this hour so she isn't here yet!"

Sensing how Tanjiro's surprise plan was going smoothly, Chizuko let out a relieved breath, everything is going accordingly!

"Say... Zenitsu-kun? I-I want to bring you to try the cafe in the mart at the bottom of the mountain! Aoi-chan and Kanao-san brought me there once and it was terrific! Let's go there for lunch, shall we?"

Zenitsu gasped, "A-Are you asking me out for a date? Chizuko-chan? Of course I don't mind going out with a cute girl like you, but my heart belongs to Nezuko-chan~ And don't you have quidditch practice today? By the way, speaking of dating, aren't you and Toki-"

"L-Look at the time! L-Let's go now!" Chizuko's cheeks turned redder than her hair, cutting off the topic, "I have a day off form practice today! And the cafe will be out of seats soon if we don't get going!"

***
Chattering with each other, Chizuko and Zenitsu left the cafe licking their lips.

"Chizuko-chan you are right~ The sandwiches are amazing~" Zenitsu complimented.

"I-It's all thanks to Aoi-chan and Kanao-chan!" Chizuko shook her head, "I never knew this place existed until they took me here a few months ago!"

Zenitsu scratched the back of his neck, hesitant to share this piece of information with Chizuko, "A-Actually, it reminds me of the sandwiches gramps used to make for me."

Eh? Chizuko turned to look at Zenitsu, she remembered Tanjiro once told her that Zenitsu was an orphan.

"W-Well, he is not my real grandpa, we are not blood related," Zenitsu mumbled, "But... He is like my real grandpa! H-He never gave up on me, a talentless, worthless person like me. He spent time training and caring for me even if his efforts may end up for nothing! I... I just wish I can make him proud someday."

Zenitsu's words brought Chizuko back to her childhood.

Chizuko watched as her classmates grinned on the podium, their medals glinting under the blinding sun. Chizuko lowered her head, not daring to peek at her grandma's face.
