Story Ten: Names?

Names, are tags your parents put on you the day you are released in this dark world. Every person have different names, different meanings why they are named like that or why their parents chose their child name to be that way. Names can show how much your parents' love for you and how much time they spent on thinking a perfect name for you. The problem is that parents can't predict the future. they might have the thought that their child will be a nice girl when she grows up, no one knows that she will be a Serial Killer or something in that line of work. What I am talking about is...uhh...don't worry if you have a weird name or something since it's place on you without your consent.

「Hey, hey, Chibana, Chimari. Do you know the meaning or why your parents named you guys the way it is now?」Yoshioka Chimachi stood up from her chair 
and desperately tried to start a conversation with Chitose Hibana and Tokeizaka Marisa, 
「Yoshioka-san, if you stand up suddenly, your tea will spill」Marisa closed the light novel she was reading, 
「You interrupted my reading time just to start a bad topic conversation」Hibana also closed his light novel because Chimachi suddenly started a topic that just popped up in her mind, 
「The meaning of my name is quite simple, My mom said that Chimachi sounded cute, it fits her cute daughter!」She place her hands on the table and looked at Hibana and Marisa. Marisa, who was sitting beside Chimachi sighed upon hearing what Chimachi and Hibana who was at the far side of the table laughed through his nose and said, 
「Your name does fit you, sounds idiotic」
「Chibana, That's mean!」Chimachi puffed up her cheek and lectured Hibana. 

「Are you sure that you are in the right place to mock other people's name, Chitose Hibana-kun」Marisa arrogantly mocked Hibana's name, 
「??? I don't get it, what do you mean? Chimari?」Chimachi, still standing, looked at Marisa with a really confused look on her face, 
「My name is Hibana」Hibana started to talk, 
「So?」Chimachi turned her head towards Hibana, 
「My name is written as 火花, if you look at it closely, it's just Fireworks(花火) written backwards. The reason it's that way is because my lazy parents wrote my name wrong when it was suppose to be Hanabi instead of Hibana. That's why Tokeizaka took her opportunity to make fun of my name」Hibana explained the joke Marisa said a few moments ago, 
「I get it!」Chimachi sparkled after understanding what Marisa had said, 
「Now that we know what is behind Chibana's name, what about yours? Chimari?」Chimachi turned her head towards Marisa, 
「My sister named me.....after.....a.....Super Sadist character called......Marisa(万梨™)」Marisa pressed her lips together while trying to hide her ashamed face, 
「It fits you perfectly, it scares me!」Hibana widene his eyes in surprise, 
「Are you picking a fight? Chitose-kun?」 
「(Just the look in her eyes scares me) No」Hibana declined Marisa's question, 
「No fighting!」Chimachi slammed her hands on the table to stop the two from the inevitable fight even though Hibana retreated away from it. 

「Anyway, now that we know what is behind each other's names, don't you feel like we're all closer than before」Chimachi smiled at the two, 
「No, I don't feel anything」Hibana and Marisa simultaneously declined Chimachi's statement, 
「Eh?」Chimachi was disappointed right after hearing what they had said, 
「・・・・・」
「I guess, that the three of us are mcuh closer now.」Marisa tried to reassure Chimachi, 
「Yeah, maybe. Right? Tokeizaka」Hibana looked at Marisa, 
「Yay!」Chimachi smiled again.
