After giving her some time to herself, everyone wanted to try and talk to Emily. Since coming home, she had refused to talk to anyone about what was upsetting her and unfortunately, no one had any idea. Trying to comfort an upset Emily without know what was causing her to be so upset seemed to be an impossible task. Everyone, even Mike and Serena, who both always had a way of cheering her up, came back defeated. So the Rangers decided they would try to put the pieces together.

"She was cleaning our rooms, right?" Antonio asked, "That's the last time anyone saw her?"

"You think something happened while she was cleaning?"

Antonio shrugged at Serena's suggestion. It was the only answer he had right now.

"Our room hasn't been touched," Mike said and Kevin started to snicker.

"How can you tell?"

"Emily didn't get to our room which means whatever upset her interrupted her cleaning," Mike then glared at Kevin and stuck his tongue out, "and by the way, my room isn't that bad… anymore."

Serena bit her lip and then looked to Jayden and Antonio, "Is your room clean?" without being too obvious, she tried to eye Jayden in particular. The way this conversation was going, it seemed that it was something about the rooms, or something about cleaning the rooms that had upset Emily. All Serena could think of that would make her sister this upset was Jayden. Though he kept the clues to his secret very hidden, it was always possible that if someone spent a little too much time in his room, they would stumble upon it. In fact, Serena was surprised Antonio still had no idea.

"From top to bottom," Antonio nodded his head, "She's pretty good at it, too. She got everything where it used to be."

Jayden saw the look Serena was giving him and excused himself.

While he was gone, Serena turned her attention to Ji, "She was cleaning out your room too, right?"

"I told her not to bother," Ji said, "I would do so myself once the house was cleaned. I have so many important papers and books, I wouldn't expect any of you to know what to do with them, and I can't afford to lose them."

Serena breathed a sigh of relief. If Emily hadn't been in Ji's room, then the only way she could find out Jayden's secret was by going through his room. If Jayden came back with good news, Serena knew things would be okay; at least on that level.

Jayden came back and nodded his head, "Everything in our room is like it was before. Nothing's missing, nothing is there that shouldn't be there, and drawers and boxes haven't been touched."

Translation for Ji and Serena: she doesn't know. Both breathed a sigh of relief while Jayden sat down and tried to calm his pounding heart. He knew the secret would come out eventually, but it didn't need to come out like this.

Mike stroked his chin, "So, if my room wasn't touched, and Jayden and Antonio's room is clean…"

All eyes turned to Kevin and Mia, "She must have been in your room," Antonio leaned forward, "Which means something you own upset her."

Kevin and Mia exchanged looks. The way the Rangers put it, it did make sense, and their room was only partially cleaned, so Emily had been working in there when she ran off. But neither could think of anything they owned that would upset her. They weren't the most open of people, but they didn't hide anything they knew would upset the others.

Antonio got up, "I think it's only fair we go snooping."

"Snooping?" Kevin and Mia both asked and then shook their heads. "How is that fair?"

"So you do have something to hide?" Antonio smirked.

"Emily wouldn't snoop," Kevin frowned, "There's no way she would snoop. How do we even know for sure it's Mia and I who upset her? What if something just happened?"

"In your room?" Antonio looked to them strangely, "Coincidence?"

"Maybe she went to the bathroom or something?" Mia suggested. "Just because she was cleaning our room when she left, that doesn't mean she was in our room when something happened. She could have gone to the bathroom, or the kitchen, or the common room. She's allowed to take breaks."

"I was cleaning the kitchen," Antonio said, "She didn't go there. And you were in the common room, Mia."

"What would upset her in the bathroom, then?" Mia asked. The boys all instantly stuck out their tongues.

"Whatever it is, you girls can handle it," Jayden said.

Serena got up and started to walk around the house. She wanted to check the bathrooms for anything and everything. So far, their only answer was something had happened in there, and she had a bad, very bad feeling.

She came back to the common room a few minutes later with her fist clutched tightly around something, and the other just clutched tightly. She then punched Mike, hard, in the back and then opened her hand.

"What the hell is this?"

Mike gasped for breath, unable to talk from Serena's assault, so Kevin leaned forward and had a look, "A pregnancy test? You got her pregnant!"

"Uh, guys…"

Mike had only just been able to breathe again when he realized what Serena had found. He looked up at her, horrified and then he looked to Mia. He pointed accusingly, "YOURS!"

Mia shook her head, "Nahuh. Not mine."

"Guys…"

Serena held the test up for Mike to look at. It was negative, but if her sister was taking tests that meant there had been a chance. Though Serena knew her sister and Mike were young, engaged, and the feelings were there, she needed them to be safe not just for the sake of the world or for the fortunately non-existent baby, but also for Serena's sanity. One Samurai baby was enough for now.

"Why would she need to take this, Michael?"

"Guys, it's mine," Antonio finally got out, and seemed rather embarrassed about it. Understandably, all eyes turned to him. Jayden's hands were instantly in the air.

"Then it's not mine."

Antonio played with his hands nervously, "I needed a band aid the other day and knew Emily and Mike always have a box in their bathroom. I saw the box of pregnancy tests, unopened, and wanted to see what would happen if I peed on it."

Serena breathed out a huge sigh of relief and then realized what she was holding in her hands. She gave the test a look of disgust and then passed it over to Antonio. He took it, unsure of what to do with it.

Mike looked up at Serena smugly, "I think you owe me an apology."

"You never denied the possibility that it could be yours."

Mike frowned, crossed his arms over his chest and then grumbled, "Yeah, well you already have a baby."

"What was that, Michael?"

"Nothing."

Ji massaged his temples. Now that it was confirmed that the test did not belong to Emily, or any of the girls for that matter, he and the Samurai were back to square one for figuring out what had upset her. Knowing that they would never get a sure answer until they got Emily to talk to them, Ji got up and walked to her bedroom. He knocked on the door and slowly opened it. He saw Emily was on her bed, buried under her blankets. Carefully, he sat down beside her and pulled the top part of the blankets down, revealing the back of her head.

"This has gone on long enough, Emily."

"Go away," Emily muttered into the mattress.

Ji put his hand on her back, "This problem will not resolve itself if you refuse to talk. Fortunately for you, there are seven people out there ready and willing to listen and help."

Emily shook her head, "Five people. Two of them don't care at all."

"What do you mean?"

Emily pulled the blankets back over her head, "Nothing. Go away."

"Who are you talking about, Emily? Who do you think doesn't care?"

"I said go away."

Ji reached out, touching the spot on the blankets that covered her head, "In case you think it's me, Emily, I want you to know you are truly mistaken."

"It's not you," Emily muttered, "That doesn't mean I want to talk about it with you. I don't want to talk to anyone about it. Who cares? We're all leaving when this is over anyway."

"Who is leaving, Emily?"

"All of us."

"Where are you going?"

"Everywhere. Anywhere but here."

"You want to leave?"

"No! They do," Emily pushed down the blankets and rolled over slightly so she could look up at Ji. She pulled the papers out from under the blankets to show him, "Mia and Kevin are looking at houses out of state."

Ji took the papers and looked through them. It looked like Emily was right, but he knew not to assume. Her gave her back the papers and sighed, "Mia and Kevin told you this?"

"Why else would they be looking at houses, Mentor? When this is done, they want to get out of here. Away from the Samurai life and away from all of us."

Ji stroked his chin, "Kevin does have big dreams. He may be missing these Olympics, but I doubt he'll ever stop swimming. Competition would take him out of state. It would make sense that they would consider finding a place to live somewhere else."

"There's an ocean right there!" Emily pointed out the window. There was a beach not too far from the Shiba House. "The Pacific Ocean, no less. How much more water does he need?"

Ji nodded, "Well, then I guess it must be for Mia. Her parents live on two different sides of the country. Her mother and grandmother live here, and her father and brother live on the east coast. It would make sense that Mia would want to place herself between them."

"No," Emily shook her head, "That's not a good reason. Her dad moved, but she doesn't have to. She can't."

"She can, and if she wants to, there is nothing stopping her and Kevin from moving away."

Emily let out a cry and buried her face in her pillow. Ji touched her back and slipped the papers out from under her. Without another word he left the room and returned to the common room.
