But as she floated up in her sleep, she acknowledged that it was her mother the one petting her hair. A flash thought came to her mind of waking up and greet her mother, but the sleep still clung to her and she didn't have a choice but surrender. At the end, she just smiled and nuzzled the pillow as she fell back asleep.<br/><br/>A short while after her mother had left the room, Kotone woke up. Flying-types were chirping outside and the sun was slightly up in the sky. Still half asleep, she showered and changed into her clothes, her attention drifting to the bagpack afterwards. She managed to squeeze the rest of the clothes on the nooks of the bag and checked all the her belongings before going down to have breakfast, carrying the heavy bagpack with her. A morning program was on TV and Minato was watching it in the kitchen when Kotone left the bagpack on the floor with a thud. He did turn to his sister and followed her with his gaze as she sat down on the table, her mother leaving the bowl of rice in front of her. He heard her thanking her mother before beginning to eat "Did you sleep tonight?" he asked her, slightly muffled because he had one of his palms pressed to his face as he rested his elbow on the table to watch TV. Kotone turned to him with a questioning hum and her mouth full of rice "'Cause I didn't, to be honest" he added, this time sounding a bit more muffled. He kept looking at her with his big blue eyes as he spoke, before removing them from her and looking at the TV "You are going in an adventure... And meanwhile I get to be stuck at home until I grow up to go on my own" he said as he looked at the TV, ignoring the fact that his sister had stopped eating to look at him "This really sucks" he said.<br/><br/>Minato was going to miss her a lot. Pretty much like her, Minato was someone of few words. But because of them being siblings they had their scruffles, yet they always managed to get along well again. Minato, despite being more mature than his age, was still a young boy who wouldn't accept so quickly that his sister, the one he had arguments with, the one who let him sleep with her during thunderstorms and the one he could share with dad's favorite mochi was going to leave. It would be hard getting up tomorrow and notice that Ko wasn't there and that they wouldn't have breakfast together.<br/><br/>Minato felt someone rubbing his head and turned his head around. Kotone was smiling at him with a sympathetic yet sad look as she gently rubbed his head, noticing that he was sad.<i>Cheer up</i>, she said with her eyes "It's not like I won't come and visit you" she said, still rubbing his head "One day you'll see me flying with a my Flying-type over home and then you'll know I'm here to pay you a visit" she added. Minato hummed and looked down, still a little unsure if he wanted her to leave. He forced himself to smile before his smile turned into a real one, his whole attention fixing in all the good things of all this issue. Not only he would have all the couch for him and all the mochi bags, but he would meet Kotone's cool new friends sometime in the future!<br/><br/>"A Flying-type? Oh, oh! You have to capture one that it's hella cool! A Honckcrow would be awesome!" Minato blurted out, catching his sister of guard. She blinked at him as he got excited over all the cool Flying-types she could capture "Ooh, and what about a Braviary? Or a Staraptor?! But, since you like blue so much, perhaps it would suit you more an Altaria- ow!" Minato brought his hands to his forehead and glared at his smiling sister "Hold on, it's my team what we're talking about. We'll see what Flying-type I meet" she said, her smile turning into a little smirk as Minato pouted. He huffed "Fine! But you have to come and show them to me!"<br/>"My Flying-types?" she asked.<br/>"Your team!" he answered. Kotone couldn't help but laugh at his excitement over<i>her</i>journey. She was going to miss Minato so much... She glanced at the clock and sighed: it was about time to leave and meet Professor Hamlock. And her first Pokemon partner as well.
