District 7, it's a pretty peaceful area if you were to ask me. It's a sacred holy land too, so mocking that awkward kid during prayers, eating that stash of hidden beef jerky in the cupboard, or doodling in the scriptures wouldn't get you too far. Of course, I've learned the customs of the area after the trouble I created living here. It's alright now though, I'm not the troublemaker child everyone talks about any more. I've grown up. Not too old, though.

I've visited the church every day for as long as I can remember, though my memory doesn't go too far. I can only remember some life events when I was around 5 or 6. Not that it was too important. I never once saw my parent's face anyway. I've always taken care of myself, and in District 7 they gave me the helping hands when I needed it.

I opened my hands and let the grass I pulled fall back down on the soil it came from. I sighed, laying back down on the grass and looked up at the clouds. I should really stop thinking about my past.

The church's flower garden became my new hotspot a few years back. It was when I was learning about the types of flowers, and I realized that nature has its feminine side too. If one was looking for me, I was here, nowhere else. Unless someone else called me, then I wouldn't be here.

"Onee-san!" A child cried out. The faint footsteps gradually sounded louder. The sky I was looking at got replaced with a face, and two big brown eyes were happily looking at me. "Onee-san, come play with me!"

"Ah, Yukina-chan." I slowly sat up and she stood up straight. "Where's everyone else today?"

Yukina still smiled, despite her group of friends not coming out today. "Their parents brought them for the church assembly today."

"Oh it's today isn't it?" I said in a flat tone. Yukina nodded. She is just like me; the only difference is that she has someone to take care of her, which is me. She considered me more of a sister than a mother, which I agreed with since I didn't want to be a mother either. I wasn't that old.

"Say, Yukina-chan. Have I ever brought you to one of the church assemblies?" I asked, looking up at her. She was fidgeting, it was a sign she wanted something.

"No," she answered. Her eyes lit up. "T-that's why I was wondering if we can go..."

Her voice trailed as I stood up, brushing myself off. "Sure, why not." Her eyes widened and her mouth opened, delighted by the outcome.

"Thank you Onee-san!" Her small hands took a hold of one of my hands, and she looked up at me grinning. "What's it like at the assembly?"

"You get to see the bishops healing people, lots of praying, and talking. Are you up for that Yukina-chan?" I smiled walking towards the town square with her.

"I am!" She was excited and determined. We arrived in the town square and to the church. There was a crowd outside. "Onee-san what's going on?"

"They didn't open the doors yet." I replied. Yukina looked around the crowd in search for her friends.

"You'll find them when you get in the church, don't worry." I reassured her.

Two men dressed in white bishop robes opened the door from inside. "Thank you all for waiting, preparations are done. Please come in."

The chattering began and everyone walked in the two large doors. Yukina and I managed to squeeze in through the crowd and find a seat in the chapel.

"Who were those people?" Yukina asked me.

"Which ones?"

"Those people dressed in white."

"They're bishops. They do the assembly with the priests. I thought you knew that already."

She nodded her head, understanding what I said. "I just wanted to make sure."

"Yukina-san! Over here!" A boy shouted. There were a group of kids flailing their hands to Yukina.

"Ah, Shima-kun! Everyone!" Yukina replied waving to the children. As if she remembered something, she looked at me. "Onee-san can I go there?"

"You're supposed go there Yukina. Children always sit in the front. I'll look for you when it's done." I patted her head and she ran to the children, finding a seat. I looked for a seat as well. I never really attended these things. Maybe once or twice every month I came, but it wasn't something I fancied over.

Once I took a seat, on the opposite side of where Yukina was, I saw them. Castor, Labrador, and Frau. The three bishops who helped me settle in District 7. I giggled to myself. "They're so formal that it's funny. Especially Frau."

The people beside me looked at me wondering why I was smiling. I calmed down when the assembly was beginning.

"Heh, she's here this time." Frau laughed quietly, eyeing me in the audience.

"Probably because of Yukina-chan." Castor whispered back, looking at Yukina smiling with the other children in the front pew.

"With or without Yukina-chan she's happy and healthy. That's all that matters." Labrador commented quietly to the two of them.

"She's grown very womanly too, I think it's my time-" Frau stopped his sentence when his eyes came in contact with Castor, and surprisingly Labrador.

"I get it, I get it." Frau looked at the audience, ending the conversation.
