A young man sighs to himself softly. He had jet black hair and calm dark chocolate brown eyes. He was wearing a black suit with a red tie. He was Kiku Honda, a young man that works in a video game company. He has returned home from work. It was another long boring day of sitting in the background taking notes.

'Kiku, you're home already?' A warm, gentle and feminine voice spoke up to him from the kitchen.

'Yes.' He says as he calms slightly and smiles a bit, then asks, 'How's Sora?'

'They've been kicking a lot in Erika, lately.' Another voice says.

Kiku walks into the kitchen to see a woman and two other men.

'You're wife is hanging in there pretty well.' Says one of the men. He had messy dark brown hair, bright brown eyes and slightly tan skin. He was wearing a green and white stripped shirt and brown pants. He was Shu, Kiku's best friend in his middle school years when he was living in Japan. He was visiting Kiku and his wife, Erika, along with his brother, for a while. Today is their last day. He was also currently making dinner.

'I'm glad we've got to visit you here in America.' A young man says. He had jet black hair, big brows and amber eyes. He was wearing wearing a white shirt and white pants. He was Yuki Honda, he was Kiku's younger brother and Erika's brother in law. 'It's nice to be out of the country once in a while.'

'I'm very pleased that you two came. I'm sorry that I couldn't spend the last day with you.' Kiku apologies to them both. 'I've had work today.'

'It's okay.' Shu says cheerfully. 'She took us out for lunch.'

'I'm sorry, about that.' The only blonde in the room says. She had long golden blonde hair that reached her shoulders and blue green eyes. Her abdomen was sticking out of her and her small chest has developed out a bit. She a long yellow dress that hugged her curves. She was once known as Erika Lillian Vogel, but she's now Erika Honda, Kiku's wife. She's nine months pregnant with Kiku's child and expecting any time soon. 'I couldn't control myself.'

'It's fine Miss Erika.' Yuki tells her with a smile.

Erika smiles at him weakly.

'Come on! You can smile much better, then that.' Shu tells her cheerfully. 'You're much stronger than that. The Erika I remember seeing earlier, scolded a big huge man twice her size for cursing in front of children.'

Everyone, except Kiku, laughs.

'What did she do this time?' Kiku asks in interest.

'Oh, earlier we were in a restaurant having lunch.' Shu explains to him. 'Not far our table was a small family, then big guy near by stubs his toe and he cursed loudly. She stood up scolded him like he was a three year old. His reaction was priceless.' As he giggles.

'Oh.' Kiku says not surprised by that as he chuckles in amusement.

'Anyways, dinner's ready.' Shu says happily.

They enjoyed the meal that Shu made them.

Soon Shu and Yuki left.

Kiku and Erika lay in bed together.

'Sora doing now?' Kiku asks her with a smile.

'They seem to be struggling to decide on to weather to get out or not.' Erika says with a warm smile as she looks down at her swollen abdomen.

Sora's gender is unknown, because they want their child's gender to be a surprise. They had their baby room that was colored light green and white.

'I hope that you didn't experience any kind of pain.' Kiku tells her calmly. He wanted Erika's pregnancy to be the most healthy and non stressful one for her. He made sure that she ate every thing that good for a pregnant women. Luckily Erika didn't suffer from extreme mood swings, but she does suffer from some stress.

'Yes, I'm glad that we've made it this far in our nine months...' Erika says as she was about to fall asleep. 'I'm tired now.'

Kiku smiles as he watches his wife and child fall asleep.

He turned to his side the bed. Looking at his night stand looking at the photo under beneath lamp. It was a picture of himself and Erika, in their high school years. It was when he asked her out to prom. He was a 19 year old senior and she was a mysterious 15 year old that was known as Lillian Zwingli.

He was wearing a white suit, a red tie and white fedora. She was wearing a bight blue dress that hung over her knees and dark blue pants under beneath, along with a light blue scarf warped around her neck. Her hair was much shorter.

He remembered his high school years when he very first interacted with her.

Flashback mode now activated!

Kiku finds himself waking suddenly early in the morning. His white little dog, Pochi, was sleeping next to him.

He looked outside, it was still a dark out.

Kiku heard movement outside of his home. He looked outside to see his next door house slowly coming to life.

The Zwinglis are back?

He remembered a few weeks ago, his fellow neighbors were in a rush to get some where. They all looked really sad. He remembered their daughter, Anne Zwingli, a girl that went the same school as him looked frantic. Normally she's calm and harsh, but she looked like that she was about to cry.

Kiku watched them take in a few things from their car. Now he's not interested anymore.

He looked at the clock. 5:34 AM. He still had plenty of time to sleep, before school starts. He then fell back asleep.

...

A alarm rung loudly. It's now 6:00 am.

Kiku felt Pochi leap of his bed and run away from the sound of the a alarm clock. 'You've been this for three years, yet you're still startled by the alarm.' Kiku chuckled at his dog's reaction. He then turned off the alarm and got up quickly. He threw on a green shirt and black pants. He brushed his teeth and hair.

'Good morning, Kiku.'

'Good morning, mother.' Kiku said back.

Emi Honda, the mother of Kiku and Yuki Honda. She long black hair pulled up into a bun and soft brown eyes. She's been trying to raise her children by herself, since her husband, Haru, died in a fire accident in his office four years ago. She found herself struggling to care for her kids. They decided to move to America for better chances. Which was a better life saver for Emi and her kids. Though Yuki still struggled on his English. He still manage to fit a bit and luckily didn't get bullied.

'Morning, Mom, bro.' Ten year old Yuki came out.

'You're up so early?' Kiku asked in slight surprise.

'Yes, I couldn't sleep, because our neighbors wake me up.' Yuki said as he helped himself to a bowl of cereal.

'I've saw that the Zwinglis came back.' Emi said in slight interest as she fills Pochi's bowl.

'I woke up to see them, too.' Kiku told her. 'Then, I fell asleep.'

'Anne's got a lot of school work to catch up, too.' Emi said calmly.

'Anyways, I'm going get to school. Bye Mom. Bye Yuki.' Kiku said as he leaves the house.

He went over to get his bike out and put his helmet on. Dickinson High is not far from where Kiku lives. So he has no problem getting there without a car or a short school bus.

Before Kiku was about to take off. He noticed something at the Zwingli house. He noticed Anne looking through the window. He waved at her, but she quickly disappeared into the house.

That's odd. Anne's never like that.

He shrugs it off and continues his way to school.

...

It was a usual morning in Dickinson High.

'Kiku!' A cheerful and girly voice called out.

19 year old Kiku turns to see his close friend, Bianca Vargas, running up to him. 'Hello, Bianca.'

Bianca is a bubbly and energetic Italian girl. She had curly brown hair pulled up into a ponytail with a hair curl sticking out of her and cheerful brown eyes. She was a light blue t shirt and yellow skirt that reached her knees. She is a very fast and pretty strong girl, but is very careless at times.

'I've *pant* been wondering *pant* you'll going *pant* to the prom.' She asked him, while panting.

'I'm... not really sure.' Kiku said, unsure if he'll go or not. He's not really a big fan of crowds.

'Bianca!' A new voice called out.

They turn to see Monika Beilschmidt. She had short wheat blonde hair and baby blue eyes. She was wearing a baggy green t shirt and black pants. She was another friend of Kiku. She's strict, bossy and firm, but once when you get know her, then you can tell that she's a very sweet, soft and young woman.

'Monika! You came!' Bianca said happily.

'Slow down, please.' Monika says as she catches up to them.

'You left Monika behind, again?' Kiku asked in a not so surprised tone.

'Sorry, Monika!' Bianca apologies to her quickly.

She glares at her friend harshly, then sighed. 'It's fine.'

'Thank you, Monika! I would hug you as a thank you, but I can't, because the stupid school doesn't allow physical contact.' Bianca said quickly.

Kiku watches in amusement at them chatter together. He's can tell that something's going on between those two.

The bell rung. It's time for school to started soon.

They head to their respective classes. Kiku's first class math. He took a seat on his desk. He heard a loud argument coming in his class room. A set of arguing siblings.

'You wouldn't even have the guts to her out!' A girl with wavy golden brown hair that reached over, with a star shaped hair clip and bright sky blue eyes. She was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. She's Amelia M Jones, she is the best baseball player in Dickinson girls team. 'I can see you stuttering like a moron when talking to her.'

'Really? I can see you blushing like a idiot and changing the subject when you talk to him.' Said the boy. He had the same hair and eye color as his sister, except that he had a cowlick and a hair curl sticking out of his head along with a pair of glasses. He was wearing a red shirt and brown pants. He's Alfred F Jones, Amelia's twin brother. 'You wouldn't even look him into the eye.'

The teacher's not here, yet. It's nothing new. The twins do this every morning on a daily basis. So the rest of the the students resume back to what they were doing.

'Excuse me, but may I get through?'

'Oh, sorry Matthew.' Amelia and Alfred said unison, then both moved out of the door way.

A young man with short wavy light brown hair with a one really thin curl sticking out of it and gentle violet eyes widen glasses framing his face. He was wearing a cherry red shirt with a angry polar bear on it. He was Matthew Williams, the cousin of the Jones twins. 'Thanks guys.' He said with a smile.

'No problem.' They said unison, then resume to their argument.

'How do you even tolerate those two?' Asked boy sitting next to Kiku. He was a chubby Hispanic man with dark brown hair pulled into a high ponytail and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a dark green shirt and tan pants. He was Carlos Gomez Carro, Matthew's best friend. 'I'd pretend that I'd never knew them if they were my cousins.'

'What are they arguing about this time?' Kiku asked Matthew with a curious look his face.

'They're arguing over who better as asking who they like to the prom.' Matthew said calmly. 'Alfred wants his first crush from middle school, Lin Yi Ling, out to the prom. While Amelia wants to ask the Vietnamese boy. I think that his name was Chein An Pham. They've been doubting each other, if if they could possibly do that.'

'This will be interesting.' Carlos said with a smirk on his face.

'KIKU!' Amelia and Alfred said unison as they approached him.

'W - what?' Kiku stuttered awkwardly.

'Can please monitor over on who's more successful on asking out partners out on prom?' Amelia asked him.

'You're in most of our classes.' Alfred told him.

'Whoever, fails has to arrive to prom in a chicken suit.' Amelia said as she gives Alfred competitive look her face.

The bell rung.

'Bring it on.' Alfred said as he shot his sister the same look.

'Okay. I will. I will.' Kiku said as he waved his hands up.

Carlos and Matthew shots him a great look of pity.

'ALRIGHT, EVERYONE SIT DOWN!' Yelled the teacher.

'Sorry, Mr. Bat.'

A young man with long black that was tied into a braid and hazel eyes with glasses framing his face. He stood there calmly. 'We'll be talking about senior prom that's going to happen in a week.'

...

Kiku sat in science class. It was much more interesting, now.

He shared the same class with Carlos, Amelia and this guy that Amelia wanted to ask out in the prom.

Chein An Pham, a young man from Vietnam. He had short black hair and golden eyes. He was wearing a faded green shirt and tan pants. He was a calm, mature and brotherly figure of the class.

Amelia came over to him.

'Hello, Chein.' She said to him.

'Hello, Amelia.' He said to her with a rather calm look on his face.

'He hardly never smiles then I do.' Kiku said to Carlos as they watch Amelia talk to him.

'I - I w-was wondering if y-you would...' She was completely lost under her breath, while finding herself uncomfortable to say anything.

'Yes?' He asked as he raised a brow at her.

'Go... play baseball with me.' She said with a wide smile on her face. 'Yeah, play baseball with me after school.'

Kiku could tell very well that she wanted to slap herself for that.

'Okay, class.' A young man with curly brown hair and green eyes came in with a excited smile on his face. 'We're going observe the wing of a insect.'

'I wouldn't mind playing baseball with you, Amelia.' Chein told her.

'Thanks.' Amelia said with a blush on her face.

'I'm sorry to interpret your date, Mrs Jones and Mr Pham.' The teacher asked them.

'Date? No, we're not dating.' Amelia said with a huge blush her face.

'We're in a classroom, Mr. Green.' Chein said a bored tone.

Carlos rolled his eyes at that.

Kiku watched with a slightly concern look.

...

In English class, they were currently waiting for their teacher, Arthur Kirkland (duh!), to show up.

Kiku sat there watched his friend Alferd walk to up Lin Yi Ling.

Lin is a Taiwanese young woman with long dark brown hair with a hair curl sticking out and almond brown eyes. She was wearing a peach colored shirt and a light blue skirt. She was apart of the Dickinson's girls basketball team and fashion club. She someone that Alfred knew since middle school.

'Do you think that it will work?' Kiku asked Matthew.

'The biggest weakness that the Jones twins have is being unable to ask someone out.' Matthew stated calmly.

'Oh.' They continued to watch Alfred talk to Lin.

'H-hey, L-lin.' He's already stuttering.

'Hi, Alfred.' Lin greeted him with a smile.

'I... wondering... want... prom.' He finds himself lost in his own words.

'What about it?' Lin asked in a curious tone.

'Will you, please help me out on finding a outfit for the prom?' Alfred finds himself asking that instead.

'Why sure!' Lin said in a cheerful tone.

'Sorry that I was late students!'

A young man with messy blond hair that resembles a bird's nest, big brows and lime green eyes came in. He was currently holding a container of Burger MacQueen's order out. He was Arthur Kirkland, a English teacher.

'It's fine Mr. Kirkland.' Alfred said as he smiled awkwardly at him.

'Alright we're going to start out new chapter in our English books...'

...

The school's bell rung. It's Kiku's schedule it's lunch time.

Kiku sat down and enjoyed eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, as his friends Bianca and Monika arrived to eat with him.

'How's everything going?' Bianca asked him as she took a bite of a banana.

'The Jones twins are at on each other, again.' Kiku said as he looked around the cafeteria.

'Really?' Monika asked in slight interest and amusement. 'What's it about this time?'

'Alfred and Amelia bet on who will ask their crushes to prom next week.' Kiku said.

'Who's their wannabe dates?' Bianca asked him.

'Alfred's planning to ask out Lin out and Amelia's asking Chein out.' Kiku said. 'They tried the first time and failed.'

'They're after hottest Asian boy and the cutest Asian girl in the school?' Bianca asked with a small smirk. 'Nice choice.'

'Yeah, apparently Amelia ended inviting Chein out to play baseball with him with him, Alfred requested Lin to go suit shopping with him.' Kiku explained the details. In Japan, he never really tend to spread gossip, but in America. He couldn't help himself, but talk about it.

'That's interesting. I'm surprised that Chein agreed with playing baseball Amelia.' Monika said. 'I have him as a classmate in English and he told me that he's a big fan of sports.'

'I wond-' Before Kiku could continue.

'Hey, Kiku.' A hand rests on his shoulder, causing him to jump slightly.

'Mr. Adnan.'

Sadik Adnan is a cooking class teacher. He has dark brown hair with a hair curl sticking out of the back of his head, slightly dark skin and bright green eyes. He was claimed to be the most attractive teacher in the school. 'Kiku, the assistant principal would like a word with you.'

'HEY! Kiku's a good man! He didn't do anything bad.' Bianca said aggressively and protectively on her friend.

'Calm down, Bianca.' Monika said as she places her hand on her friend's shoulder.

'He's not in a trouble, but you'll be in trouble if you act like to me, Miss Vargas.' Sadik said in a annoyed tone. 'He'll be returning to class after he's done.'

Bianca scoffed slightly.

'I'll see you guys later.' Kiku said to them.

...

Kiku heads to the assistant principal's office to meet up with Roderich Edelstein and Sofia Chernerko.

Roderich is a young man with black hair with a hair curl sticking out of his head, a mole on his lower left cheek and dark blue eyes with glasses framing his face. He was wearing rather modest and neat clothing. He's Anne's cousin.

Sofia is a young woman with short wheat blonde hair and baby blue eyes. She was wearing a dark blue suit with a pencil skirt. She was the assistant principal of Dickinson High.

'Yes, Miss Chernerko?' Kiku asked as he stepped in the room. He noticed that Roderich seems to rather have a face of sorrow. He's been like that for the past few weeks, since the Zwingli family left out.

'You remember Anne Zwingli?' Roderich asked Kiku.

'Yes, she's my neighbor and goes to the same school as me. Though, she and her parents seem to left the house a few weeks ago. They looked desperate to leave somewhere.' Kiku said as he remembered. 'Early this morning, I saw them returning home. Why?'

'I'd like you to give Anne all of the work that she has missed and help her out.' Sofia said as she hands Kiku a handful of papers.

'Are you sure?' Kiku asked her, then looked at Roderich. 'I thought that you two were related or something and you would do it.'

'Anne hates me.' Roderich told him with a rather calm look on his, but behind that calm look on his face. He looked like that he really wanted to go to the Zwingli house.

'Okay, I will.' Kiku says as he takes the papers and leaves.

...

Kiku made it to economic class on time.

'You made it on time, Kiku.' Matthew said as he entered the classroom. In this he has Lin and Matthew with him.

'Mr. Peeters will be here any minute.' Lin said as she looks as the door.

'Lin... What do you think of Alfred?' Kiku asked her as he tried to get his mind off of everything about the Zwinglis.

'Alfred? He's cute and funny. He almost looks like one of those arrogant jocks, but he's far from that.' Lin said with a smile on her face, then asked. 'Why's that?'

'Nothing.' Kiku said calmly.

'Alright, it's time to start.' A tall man with wheat blond hair that stood up, green eyes and a small scare on his forehead. He was Abel von Peeters, Kiku's economy teacher. He made intimidating, but he's really a nice guy when you know him. Lin, Kiku and Matthew it very well. They usually to him to talk their problems. 'I'm going to give you budget example sheets and you're going to solve them.'

...

Kiku sighed as he quickly leaves school. He grabbed his bike and tookoff. Most of his friends had after school clubs, but he doesn't really have interest into joining any club, plus it's his senior year and the school year will be ending soon. Graduation is almost around the corner. If he was still in Japan. He would have graduated already, but when he moved to America. He was bumped one class back. He was supposed to be a junior at the time when he moved, but in America he was a sophomore. Kiku and Yuki were also confused on the school systems in America. Especially when they found out that that Kindergarten was added into elementary school. High school years in America had four years, instead of three. Though Kiku adapted to the American culture after a year of moving there.

Kiku cycled his way to his house and keep his house key closely to him. Emi is still at work, while Yuki is still in school. So he has the whole house to himself.

Meow!

'Oh, Tama! Have you been waiting here to get in all this time?' Kiku asked as he looked down. Tama is a old Japanese bobtail cat with black and white fur. He has been around since Yuki was only one year old.

Meow!

'Okay, I'll let you in.' Kiku said as opened the door and Pochi greeted him. He took of the family's pet, then needed to do one more thing.

Kiku stood and looked at the Zwingli household. He always felt afraid of going in there. He never knew Mr. Nor Mrs. Zwingli, but he knows Anne a bit. He doesn't really know why, but at first he thought that she hated him or something, because she seems to give out a bitter atmosphere. Though, he soon realized that she's almost like that to everyone. He felt afraid of approaching her for that.

Though, he finally got the guts too head and make his way to front door, but finds himself unable to knock. He noticed that one of the cars that the Zwinglis had was gone, again. Maybe, they again.

Suddenly, the door opens. At first Kiku thought that it was Anne, but Anne was a bit more taller and longer hair. This girl was slightly younger looking and stood out slightly. She had short golden blonde hair with two strands of hair that reached pass her chin framing her beautiful face. Beautiful blue green eyes that seem really empty and lifeless, like that she's been through a miserable life. She was wearing a long sleeved purple jacket with a bunny on it and pair of dark purple pants. What made her stand out more was was that she was wearing light blue scarf wrapped around her neck.

It maybe cool out, but it's not that cold out.

She looked at Kiku with slight curiosity and interest, but it seemed that she's a bit... afraid of approaching nor looked like that she could speak to him.

This girl really brought out the curiosity in him.

Flashback mode now off!

'Her scarf really had my curiosity.' Kiku thought to himself, as he found himself unable to sleep.

Suddenly, he heard a whimper of fear.

'Erika?' Kiku asks her in a worried tone, while looking at his wife.

Her eyes snapped open with fear in blue green eyes as she looked at Kiku. 'Kiku...' She slowly wrapped her arms around him tightly, then started crying.

He quickly hugs her back, while asking her in a soft soft whispering tone. 'Did you another nightmare?'

'Yes... but, this it was about him.' Erika whispers the last word with a mixture of hatred and fear.

Kiku knew who she was talking about as he hugs closer. 'Don't worry Erika. He's long gone. We've already took care him two years ago. He's dead. The police made sure of that.'

'I had a nightmare that he killed everyone I knew and loved, you, Anne, everyone, even Sora, before they were born. He gave me same look when he killed... my...' She finds herself sobbing into Kiku's arms, but only to quickly after feeling a kick inside of her.

'Erika, it will be fine.' Kiku tells her. 'Sora seemed want to tell you that shouldn't act like that.'

'I... know...' Erika says as she stops crying. 'I'm a strong woman.'

'Yes, you are Erika.' Kiku tells as he kisses her forehead. 'It will be alright.'

'Alright, Kiku.' Erika says she manages to smile at her husband with a tired look on her face. 'Once when Sora is born, then everything will be okay.'

Kiku smiles back at her, then looks at the clock. It's 3:34 am. 'I've only got an hour of sleep left. Let's back to sleep. I love you, Erika.'

'I love you too, Kiku.' Erika smiles at him, then fell asleep.

Kiku looks at Erika's body. The scar on her is still there, but slightly faded. The tiny little marks on her body were still there and she still refuses to light any lighters nor approach anything that's tobacco. The scar on her thigh was pretty much of faded scar.

'She's been through a real hell in her life, but she still stands strong. I'm determined to support her and help her start her new life for the better.' Kiku as he started to fall asleep. 'We'll be making a better life once when Sora is born. Everything will be better...' He closed his eyes, then fell asleep.

That's for Faded Scars!

What do you think?

Kiku and Erika are a happily married couple, but they (mostly Erika) do seem have a dark and troubled past. They are trying to restart by having a little child in their life.

We get to see some of our supporting characters.

Yes, we've got some het, lesbian and gay couples in this.

You can a lot of foreshadowing with Erika, I think.

Yeah, the school systems can be a bit confusing and frustrating in different countries.

Please read and review!
