The sound of an alarm made Hikari stir in her sleep. Pulling the thick blanket over her head to try and stop the noise, she tried to force herself back in to her dream. She was only moments away from devouring a tone of Takoyaki skewers before the stupid ringing pierced right through her skull. She groaned as the blanket did little to stop the ringing. Turning over onto her back after a few moments, she reached out with her right hand to try and find the alarm clock that was already ruining her day before it started. After a few attempts resulting in just banging her fingers against the small nightstand, her fingertips managed to reach the thing, effectively stopping the noise after the appropriate button was found and tapped. Sighing in relief, Hikari dropped her hand, letting her knuckles brush against the floor as she lay there, staring at the ceiling as a few rays of light started to shine through the window.

A yawn to rival that of a lion's escaped her mouth then and she brought her hand up to cover it as she sat up, stretching a moment later. Grumbling as she moved the blanket over, she swung her legs off the side of the bed, standing and shuffling towards the bathroom. After doing her business on the toilet, Hikari went to stand on the small blue carpet position in front of the mirror. Washing her hands, she would stare at her sleepy reflection in the mirror. She had dark circles under her eyes and her long black hair was all tangled and sticking up in some places. Rubbing her eyes, she leaned over the sink and splashed cold water on her face to fully wake herself up. When she was done, she reached up and grabbed the towel hanging on her shower railing and dried her face.

After brushing her teeth, she turned and left the bathroom, looking around at her small studio apartment. A frown made its way onto her features as she noticed how dirty it was. In the corner that served as the kitchen, dishes were overflowing in the sink and food crusted pots sat on the stove, a few flies gathering around. [color=red]"Eww..."[/color] she said as she opened one and a horrid stench smacked her right in the face. Turning, she pushed open one of her windows and then the other as decided it was time to do a major clean up. Skipping happily over to the side of the room with the TV and stereo system, she pushed play on her music player and turned the volume up just enough for her to dance and sing along happily. The familiar song playing was one of her favorites, and so she tapped repeat before starting the clean up.

Starting with the dished, she scrubbed them with all her might until everyting was so clean she could see her reflection in it. After that she cleaned off the table where she ate and kept all her Art homework/projects/supplies etc. Getting a large bag and tossing out what she didn't need, she would also dump the trash can that was filled with crumpled papers and rotten food. Suddenly her favorite part of the song came on and she had to sing along, dancing as she did.

[color=red]"Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa ima mo dokoka ni iki tsudzukete
(The future world that you've depicted still lives on somewhere)
Hontou no jibun wo ukeirete kureta ano hikari wo 
(In the light that accepts me for who I truly am) 
ah on give for my way
(ah on give my way)"[/color]

Dancing as the song repeated and repeated, Hikari would continue cleaning and organizing all her things. When she finally finished, she would turn off the music and plop down on a chair at the table with a relieved sigh. Taking out her cell phone, she would check for any missed calls, seeing one from work and one from a classmate at school. Texting her classmate and asking what he had needed, she would ignore the one from work as she knew they were only going to ask her to come in and work. Today was a Friday, which meant she had none, and she wasn't prepared to give up today for anything. Only a moment after she placed her phone down, did she get a message. Picking it up again, she would tap the name of her friend, reading what he'd written and replying.

When that was finished, Hikari started to write a list of groceries she needed to pick up from the local store, as she was running low on food and was starving. Another message had come in from her friend which she ignored until she was done writing. When she replied this time ,she told him she was heading out to do some errands and promised to call later. She was kinda blowing him off, though only as he seemed to like her a little too much. It made her feel weird, but at least he was nice enough about it. Checking the time, she noted it was already going on noon and she should probably get lunch while she was out at least. Standing, Hikari dressed into some comfortable shorts and t shirt before leaving her apartment with a skip in her step, list and phone in hand.
