"So this is the 'Way of the Samurai'?"
"Close...Bushido..." she yawned, "It translates to, 'the way of the warrior'. Mimi, it's late...sleep!"
"In a minute, what are the Sengoku Period and Warring States Period?"
Kagome gave him a blank look, "They're the same thing...the era between the fifteenth century and the seventeenth century. It was during this time that Japan had undergone the majority of its change. Now...sleep, I'm done giving history lessons for today,"
"Yeah, yeah..." Mihael looked at his clock and sighed, "you're right, it's already one in the morning. You go to sleep; I'll continue studying for a little-"
"No, no, no..." She moved off of his bed and pulled him from his chair. "Sleep~!"
Mihael laughed, "Sorry. Sleep, sleep...I'm going to go change, you go to bed first."
"..." She looked at him doubtfully, but nodded all the same, too tired to argue with him. "Oyasumi, Mimi..."
He smiled, "Oyasumi..."

Isai walked inside with the Higurashi's following behind him, his ears taking in the soft sounds around his house before he guided the Japanese parents upstairs to his sons room where they opened the door to find the blonde sitting at his desk with a study lamp on and a Japanese to English book next to him. "Mihael,"
Mihael turned to his father, a pencil tucked behind his hair which was tied back in a black ponytail. "She went to sleep about an hour ago,"
"What are you still doing up!?"
Mihael raised a brow, "What are you doing whispering? She's a heavy sleeper, out till morning."
Isai looked at the girl and huffed, "Then go to sleep, the Higurashi's will be staying the night tonight, we had a late business meeting."
Mihael looked over the red stain on his father's white shirt at the collar, and nodded, "I see, you may want to use bleach."
His father frowned but left his sons doorway all the same. The Higurashi's entered only to kiss their daughter on the forehead before they too retired to bed.

(Next Morning)
Mihael cringed at the loud yell from outside his window, looking outside, he saw Mandy waving her hand back and forth. "What are you doing here?"
"It's been almost two months, Mihael! Come play soccer with us!"
Mihael frowned, "...I can't; I'm babysitting." He saw it this time, what he assumed everyone else around him was seeing in her that he was always missing. Her eyes had darkened when he'd said that.
"The little girl?"
He wasn't sure why, but he honestly didn't want to say anything about Kagome to her. 'How long has she been like this?'
"You don't have to answer, your silence is an answer...you can bring her along, Mihael..."
"No, when she leaves, I will play with you guys again, until then...don't...don't come to my house."
"What?" A frown marred her face, "Are you ditching us for some little girl!? We're your friends Mihael, not that little Japanese twit!"
"Mandy, leave before I have you escorted off the property."
Mandy glared at him, "I see where your loyalties lie...fine, be that way. Don't bother coming by once she's gone, you're no longer welcomed."
Mihael watched the girl leave before turning and sitting back down at his desk, "What the hell was that about?"
He was about to go find Kagome when a scream from outside alerted him to her whereabouts. His blue eyes widened and he took off in a run through the halls and down the stairs, his mom already racing out the door at the high-pitched cry.
He ran outside and saw his mom standing frozen in shock, looking in the same direction as his mother, he found Mandy holding a bleeding arm, a jagged looking stick was protruding from her arm which hung limply by her side as she glared at Kagome.
"You stupid girl! Do you know who my father is!?"
Kagome was shaking; her eyes went back and forth between the stick and Mandy's face. "No good...no good...no good..."
Mihael listened as she chanted tearfully and nervously in English to herself. She was shaking her head negatively and taking small steps backwards as she did. He watched her hands drop to the hem of her dress, she lifted it a bit, her movements slight and barely noticeable. A white strap around her leg caught his eyes, he hadn't ever seen it before, and a silver glint drew his attention away from the strap as Mandy made to grab Kagome by the hair only to have her other hand sliced by a small blade. A pocket knife with a button to extend the blade was clutched tightly in Kagome's hand.
"M-Mihael...go and get your father..."
Mihael gave a small nod and ran to find his dad and Kagome's parents as well.

Mandy screamed hatefully at the younger girl as she ran ather only to be grabbed by the wrist by Mihael's mother who was quick to toss her aside and glare her down. She returned it with an equal amount of fierce hatred. She'd only ever wanted Mihael! The rest of his family could rot in hell! "YOU WILL ALL DIE! I SWEAR IT!" Mandy ran off before anyone else could hurt her.

Elizaveta sighed, this would not end well. "Kagome, dear?"
Kagome was still crouched dangerously low, clutching the knife with a tight, vice-like grip as her eyes darted around dangerously, looking everywhere for any sign of a threat. She was terrified, and no doubt, she wasn't used to hurting people. The hand holding the knife was trembling and she wasn't showing any sign of having hear the older woman.
"Kagome?!"
Her father called out to her as he stopped beside Mihael's mother, Kagome's mother made to run past him when he stopped her.
"She's not hearing us, leave her be..."
"But-"
"Do not argue, Rai."
"...right..."
Mihael frowned, looking at Kagome; he darted past her parents and his and stopped a foot before her. Her eyes really weren't on him; they were everywhere but on him. "...Kagome?"
Her eyes looked at the ground; she blinked a few times, as if trying to get rid of something in her eyes. Shaking her head, she looked around some more.
"Kagome, can you hear me? It's Mimi..."
"...Mimi..." She was speaking Japanese.
He smiled, "Hai, Mimi desu..."
"Mimi...!" Her trembling hands loosened slightly on the grip of the knife.
Mihael took the singular chance he had and twisted the knife carefully from her grip and tossed it to his father's feet before taking Kagome in his arms. She fell limply against him as she cried. She was scared, her eyes still wide, still glancing everywhere. She couldn't concentrate on one thing, she couldn't see just him. She was everywhere, her senses on high-alert, and her heart racing a mile a minute. "It's okay, I've got ya...no matter what, I won't let you go..."
"Mimi..." She cried softly, finally closing her eyes; she gripped his shirt with her hands as she buried her face into his black shirt. His hand rubbing soothing circles on her back as he rocked back and forth a bit till she was lulled into a peaceful and serene sleep.
