A Mile in His Shoes

Chapter 2

Day 1, part 1.

The rays of the morning sun sneak through the cracks of the curtain into the room of an orange-haired high school student. As the boy slowly wakes up and opens his eyes, he sees the smiling face of Momo Velia Deviluke. Momo-chan? The boy thinks as he looks at the girl eyes wide.

"Good morning Rito-san," She says as she places her head on his chest.

Rito-san? Wait, know I remember. He thinks remembering the events from the day before. (See chapter 1 for flashback.)

Saruyama is in Rito's body laying on Rito's bed with Momo laying next to him with her head on his chest, Is this how Rito wakes up every morning? He asks himself. He's so lucky. Saruyama thinks with a goofy grin on his face.

Momo, with her head on the boy's chest, listens, Hmm, that's odd. His heart beat is normal, is he alright? She thinks. "Rito-san, are you alright?" She asks as she lifts her head to look at him.

"I'm fine Momo, why do you ask?" Saruyama asks smiling at the girl before him.

She continues to look at him, "You sheer you're okay? You don't seem like yourself." She says.

Oh shit, is she on to me? He thinks in a panic. "Hmm... I eh..." He nervously shudders out as the door to the room opens violently.

"Rito you beast!" Nana yells as she comes in and starts strangling him in a chokehold, "What are you doing to Momo?" She questions.

"I haven't done anything." He chokes out. Are Rito's mornings always like this? Saruyama asks himself as Nana continues to choke the life out of him.

Momo finally separates Nana from Rito (Saruyama) and walks her out the room as the boy breathes in the air he needs, "Nana, he didn't do anything to me, nothing at all in fact." She says with a hint of disappointment.

Nana turns around and folds her arms, "Maybe he has finally learned some self-control." She says as she walks down the stairs followed by Momo.

Saruyama opens the door and is greeted by the smell of the breakfast Rito's sister is making down stairs. Something smells good. He thinks as he walks down the stairs and into the kitchen, "Good morning Mikan..." He says stopping himself from saying 'chan'.

Mikan turns around when she hears the sound of her brother's voice, "Good morning Rito. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes." She says returning to her work.

"Okay, Mikan. Hmm, do you need any help with anything?" He asks.

"Yes, will you set up the table for me." She requests.

"Alright." He says as he starts setting up the table, Man, Rito's so lucky to have a cute little sister like Mikan-chan cooking for him everyday. Saruyama thinks as he finishes setting up the table.

Mikan dishes up the food and hands a plate to Rito (Saruyama), "Here place these on the table as well." She says holding out another plate.

Saruyama takes the plates to the table as Mikan dishes them up, "Okay, Mikan." He says.

The princesses and Celine then come in as he finishes and they all sit down and put their hands together. "Thanks for the meal." They say together, Saruyama does the same.

As they eat Saruyama looks around the table without moving his head, This is assume, eating breakfast with several cute girls. He thinks.

"So, Rito what are you and Saruyama doing for your project over spring break?" Lala asks getting Saruyama's attention.

"Oh hmm, he said he'd take care of most of it. I should call him to see if he needs any help later." Saruyama says trying not to tell them that Rito is at his house. "So, what are your plans with... Sairenji?" He asks.

"Oh, I'm going over to her house to work on our project, I think we can get it done by tonight so that tomorrow we can have fun." She says as she continues eating.

"Oh, okay."

After a few more minutes the phone rings, "I'll get it." Lala says getting up and she walks over to the phone in the hall. "Hello, Yuuki residence Lala speaking." She says answering the phone. "Oh, hi Saruyama. We where just talking about you... Hmm, okay he's right here. Rito telephone, it's Saruyama." She says as Rito (Saruyama) walks over to her and she hands him the phone.

Saruyama takes the phone and Lala returns to the table, "Hello?" Saruyama asks taking the phone up the stairs so no one can hear him.

"Hey Saruyama, how's your morning going?" Rito asks from the other side of the phone.

"It's going great so far, woke up with Momo-chan next to me then Nana-san came in and started choking me and now we're eating breakfast together. I must say Mikan-chan's cooking is the best." Saruyama whispers into the phone.

"I just finished eating as well, little as it was, I'll have to go shopping if I'm going to survive. Hey, let's meet up later, Mikan's going to send you shopping I'm sheer." Rito says.

"She's going to send me shopping?" Saruyama asks.

"Yes, I'll go with you. I'll meet you a few blocks from the house, okay?" He says.

"Hmm, okay. I'll see you later than." Saruyama says waking back down and hanging up the phone. He then walks into the kitchen to see everyone finishing their food and going about their business.

Mikan then walks up to him holding a piece of paper, "Rito, I need you to do the shopping. I'm heading over to dad's, his place needs a good cleaning around this time." She says as she hands him the paper and heads up to her room.

"Hmm, okay." He then goes up to Rito's room, changes and heads back down and out the front door.
