[center][b]Ayano: A store somewhere in Warakuma[/b][/center]
With Chiaki and her brother in tow, the three set off in their own little journey to find a gift. There was little activity, a few chit-chatting here and there but nothing big. When they got to the store, Ayano faced the two and said, [i]"Okay, here's the thing...We're going to have to split here, I know I asked you for help, Chi-Chi...but this...I'd like to think and do it alone. Why don't you and Yaku have some good o'l family bonding time? I'll see you guys at home. Okay?"[/i] she had a stern look on her face, one that said 'If you disobey, I am going to have to do bad things to you'. With that said, Ayano browsed the store in search of her gift.

The store was quite big, Ayano both hated and was amazed at it. She never bothered to check it out and this was the first time she had actually entered it, everything was practically new to her. After reminding herself that she's here to buy a gift and not explore some store. Soon enough, she found the books section and thoroughly began searching for a book to give. Something ran on her mind that moment, Kami always had this favorite comic that he always loved reading...What was it called again? She would remember the days when he'd read it and she'd ask him about it, to her the comic was befitting for his nature...She would sometimes compare him to the protagonist of the story and looking at it now...The resemblance isn't that far behind...Ayano laughed for a moment before coming face to face with the aforementioned book. [b]Chief Inspector Gamache![/b] There it was!! Ayano was ecstatic at the fact she found one! And then she saw the price...Her smile had turned into one big frown...The girl sighed heavily and said to herself [i]"Fuck it, I'm giving him a sword...[/i]

With the wooden sword in tow, Ayano exited the store and took out her cellphone as to text a message to Kami:
[i]"Hey, I know this is sudden but, where are you? It's urgent, where can we meet up?[/i]
Pressing the button to confirm, she plopped down on a nearby wooden bench and waited for a reply...she glared at the sword she had purchased and muttered,[i]"This had better be worth it, Kami...[/i]
