So I'm back with another story, this one will be a collection of one shots and drabbles, mostly about Miu's life at the Kurosawa antique store!

Hope you like it! :) P.s: Yuuri's just the best Fatal Frame protagoinist ever in my opinion! :D Oh, and Miku's the worst mother ever! I think I'll write a one shot about her, I'm upset about what she did, she changed so much between Fatal frame 3 and 5 _ !


Family.

Miu would often wonder what the word family means. It was the biggest mystery in her life. She would often look at children holding their mothers' hand, and wonder what it feels like.

She couldn't help but envy those who knew. It made the emptiness in her heart even more painful.

It was unfair that her mother left her.

Lately, she started to notice a lot of things whenever she was at Kurosawa Antique. She would sit there, and watch them.

Yuuri Kozukata and Hisoka Kurosawa were the ones that she noticed first, she'd watch Yuuri tense whenever someone entered the store, and how Hisoka would give her a reassuring smile and take care of the costumers, or how she'd tell her to take a rest whenever she was exhausted. She saw the little things that Hisoka does to make the brunette feel better, and how hard working Yuuri could be just to prove herself to Hisoka.

She'd hear the store's owner praise the brunette whenever Ren mentioned her, she would hear her say that she sees Yuuri as her younger sister.

Miu admired their relationship.

Whenever Ren Hojo came to visit with his assistance Rui, she'd notice how close they were, Rui once mentioned that she thinks of him as family, but that didn't mean she wouldn't tease him and tell them how hopeless he is by himself.

Every time she saw all of them together, a strange feeling fills her chest, she couldn't explain it, it appeared every time she saw Hisoka asking Ren if he sold any book, the author avoiding the subject, and Rui making it clear that he didn't much to his dismay. She'd also see Yuuri, who was the less to talk, smile faintly at the scene.

Miu wondered, was she jealous of what they had? Or was it something else? It was a strange feeling, it was one that made her want to get closer to them, to solve this strange mystery.

She hated it when she couldn't understand something, she hated it when she couldn't get what she wanted, and most of all, she hated how it all made her feel lonelier.

Miu snapped from her thoughts when a cup of coffee was put on her table. "What's keeping you distracted? Hinasaki-san." Asked a gentle voice.

She looked at the brunette and sighed. "It's nothing important." She answered then took the cup in both her hands, lost in the brown liquid.

"Where will you go now?" Yuuri asked as she took a seat across her, her expression was worried.

"Anywhere, I don't have a place in mind." Miu shrugged and drank her coffee. She didn't have any place to go to, and she didn't have anyone waiting for her, she was on her own.

Yuuri remained silent for a bit, the silence in the room was comfortable, Miu was glad for that, she always had trouble communicating with others because of her sixth sense.

"You must have been lonely, all this time." The brunette said out of nowhere, the young Hinasaki was surprised, she didn't know how to answer that. "I was alone too."

Miu then remembered that she 'accidently' saw her past, with her gift. She was upset at the time, when Yuuri invaded her past, but when she saw hers, it saddened her.

Miu never had anyone, but the brunette had a family, she lost it in the blink of an eye, she couldn't imagine how painful it was.

Now they both know what the other went through, they didn't need to talk about it, as if it was a secret between them.

"I had nothing, and I wanted to go too. That was until Hisoka-san came, she told me I wasn't alone anymore." Yuuri stated, smiling at the memory, even though it was a bitter one. "She gave me a home, a family... we can't bring back what has been lost, nor can we replace it... but..." She stopped as if she was lost in thoughts.

"Kozukata-san, why are you saying this to me?" The raven haired girl asked, she was confused, she didn't understand where this conversation was going.

"Would you like to stay here with us?" Yuuri asked, her tone hopeful, so were eyes. Her question surprised the other girl. "You don't have to be alone anymore, I asked Hisoka-san about this, she wants you to stay too!"

"You don't mean that... no one cares about me. Not even my mother..." Hinasaki stated, her cheeks wet with tears, she didn't understand that strange feeling, the one that was burning in her chest, she wanted to believe that someone wanted her, but it was too good to be true.

No one wanted someone like her... right?

She was worthless, unwanted, useless... no one would accept her.

"Miu." The use of her first name shocked her, she raised her head and looked at her. "Please be part of this family." Yuuri stated. She was smiling brightly, it was strange to see that, a true smile.

She rarely smiled, but now that she did, Miu couldn't help but think how beautiful it was, it warmed her heart, it wasn't the smile of a liar, she knew it when people lied and faked smiles at her, however, this smile was a caring one.

Miu knew that she didn't have to worry anymore, she knew that she had a home now.

More importantly, she understood that strange feeling.

Isn't it what they call happiness?

"Thank you..."
