~Trust returned and dinner~

~Miki's Pov~

I walk into the house and sneak up to my room. I pack the snack bars and go to the front door putting on my shoes, ready to leave when I hear Ha'ri. "And where are you going?" I stop and look at the ground. "T-to my aunts' house. That's where I lived…ever since my parents left. She says they're dead, but I don't believe they are. I think they're alive." I tell Ha'ri.

"And if they're not?" He asks me, looking me in the eyes. I look at the ground. "I'll find them. I know I will. Tell everyone I'm sorry for leaving for me, please Ha'ri-san?" I ask. He doesn't say anything and Shigure and Aya come and they grab my arms. Yuki and Kyo open the front door to see them…holding on my arms.

Kyo punches Shigure and Yuki punches Aya and they start screaming at them for who knows what. I walk out quickly and Ha'ri follows. After a while he grabs my arm and he accidentally tugs me too hard and I fall into his chest backwards. He tenses and I turn to look up at him. He looks shocked for some reason. I slowly back up and he notices and grabs my arm again.

"Why wont you let me leave…I'm just a burden." I say to him and look away at the ground. He grabs my chin and makes me look at him. "You're not a burden. I don't want you going back to your aunts' house. Shigure will take better care of you. I'll make sure your aunt is taken care of." I look in his eyes and I hug him. He goes tense again, then sighs wrapping his arms around me.

~someone's Pov~

"She wants to find her parents. Why can't we make ourselves noticed?" The woman asks the male. "You know why we can't. Stop making this harder on yourself. We'll keep watch at a distance and check back every now and again." He said and looked at Mikira.

"You're making this harder. Having Mikira stay at her aunts' place; telling her that her own parents are dead. I think she has the right to know." The woman says and the male sighs as she rants on and on about it.

~Mikira's Pov~

Ha'ri-san takes me back to Shigure's house and they are sitting in the living room worried sick. 'They do care…they really do care about me.' I thought to myself smiling and looking up at Ha'ri. We enter and I go over to Gure-san and he looks happy I'm back. And everyone else does too. They don't have to say anything. I get on my knees and hug him. Everyone, but Ha'ri and I, tenses.

After a while he hugs back. I haven't been able to trust anyone, yet they tried so hard. Why…How did they succeed in gaining my trust? That, I will never know. I have been staying at Shigure's for a while now and every weekend Ha'ri comes over, sometimes with Aya, but this week he is by himself. "Ha'ri-san!" I say and crash into him, hugging him.

"Hello, Mikira-chan. How are you today?" he asked me. "Uh, alright I guess. Gure-san is getting on my nerves along with the stupid school. Pestering me, along with the students." I say to him and he chuckles. Yuki came downstairs alone with Kyo. "What the hell are you doing here and why?" Kyo asked sleepily probably from waking from my yell earlier.

"I'm here to visit Mikira and Shigure." He said and we walked into Shigure's computer room… thingy place. I followed him in there. They were talking about some guy named Akito, and then, Shigure said something about a vacation at the beach house they have for the up coming week.

"That's right, school has summer vacation then." I say just realizing this. I didn't know how long it has been since I started staying here. "I know! Lets go out to dinner today." I say smiling happily.

Shigure bounces up and hugs me. "That's a brilliant idea Miki-Chan!" he says. He put too much weight on me and we both fell down. "Gure-san! Get, off. You're heavy!" I say trying to get him off. Then, Yuki and Kyo come and get him off of me, just to punch him. "YAY! I'm saved!" I say happily jumping and I see Ha'ri smile. It makes me smile also. I jump and hug Ha'ri. "You're coming to the dinner too, right?" I asked him. "Yes, I am. Want me to drive you there?" He asked me.

"Sure. Can you get a hold of Aya-san and invite him? Please, Ha'ri-san?" I asked with puppy eyes. He sighs and nods. I giggle and go to the kitchen and make everyone breakfast. I make eggs, toast, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. I set the table with everything and find everyone in Gure-sans computer room. "Hey guys. Breakfast it ready. I made more then enough." I say smiling at them. They get up and come with me to the table to eat.

After breakfast, Hatori went and called Ayame for me. I only invited Shigure, Hatori and Ayame, because I only have enough to pay the four of us. That and I like them the best. We spent the day together and Aya came over around three. Yuki and Kyo left for a walk to, as Kyo said, 'get away from the mindless idiots'. I made dinner for Kyo and Yuki and set it in the oven and turned everything off.

I wrote them a note telling them I made them dinner, and the four of us left. We made it to the small, little restaurant that I loved so much and paid for everyone. You see, here you pay for however many people there is, and eat what you want. I call that a good bargain. lol. So, we go and sit, and they bring some food. We ate and after everyone finished, we left. "So, what do you guys wanna do?" I asked after we left.

"I think we need to take you home now." Ha'ri said as I tried to hide my yawn. "Awe, do ya have to?" I say and Aya, who is beside me, laughs. "Yes." He said and we started to go back to Gure's place. After a few minutes my eyes closed and I fell asleep.
