Herrow Everyone! I hope you enjoyed that chapter. I would feel weird as heck seeing that, but then again, who wouldn't. Anyways I don't own any of the characters in this chapter. If I did then Syo and I would be married. And Nanami would be married to Ittoki.

-Talhysah's POV-

After the awkward encounter with Saraphynee walking in on me and Syo, I couldn't help but burst out in laughter. I mean what you would do if your sister walked in on you and your 'boyfriend' making out?

"BwahaHahha! That was so embarrassing! I mean, how am I supposed to explain this too her? She doesn't understand this kind of stuff. I mean she may be 15, but she's really innocent. I bet I just messed up her mind. Hahaha!" I laughed feeling terrible, suddenly that laughing fit stopped, and making me speak softly and gloomily." I was supposed to be there for her. Always protect her. So why?" I looked at Syo and saw his hair a total mess with bite marks everywhere. I smirked a bit, seeing him turn away in embarrassment. I got off his bed and spoke up "I'm going to check on Sara. Later." I left the room, running to my room, having a bad feeling that something's off.

Once I opened the door I fell to my knees, eyes widening at the sight in front of me; my Sara and Natsuki were doing it. Only Sara was tied up to the bed as Natsuki had his way with her. That moment I ran to Natsuki and punched him over and over. Being only 165 cm, I had barley hurt him, but I tried. I failed my sister. It was all my fault for not protecting her. I ran out after beating the sh-t out of Natsuki. With the only thing, Sara crying for me to come back.

I failed my promise to mom. That promise I made before her final breath.

-Flashback-

Talhysah age 15. Saraphynee age 12

"Doctor Koromiko, these young ladies would like to know if they can see their mother." The middle aged man looked at the two young girls, one with a plushy panda and the other, with a bouquet of flowers. The doctor smiled down at the two girls, tapping their heads in content.

'Of course, come on girls follow me." The man took the girls hands as they followed behind. The two girls looked around and saw the walls painted in white, hearing a bunch of screams and crying. This scared the oldest of the girls. Unlike her little sister, she knew something was wrong. Besides she never liked being in a hospital.

"Kristina, a few young ladies would like to see you." The man walked the girls to their mother. Leaving the three alone. Knowing that the mother would not make it for very long.

"Mommy!" The youngest sister called out crying into her mom's arms.

"I missed you Sara. How has school been?" The frail mother spoke up, trying to hide the sadness in her voice.

"It's been good mommy! Sissy's been helping me a lot. I even passes my spelling test!" The little girl cheered, looking at her sister.

"That's good to hear. I knew that she'd help y-"The mother was coughing critically. Making the tubes in her arms clank against the heart monitor next to her bedside. The two sisters instantly panicked and held into the mother. Causing the mother to choke some more. The mother knew it was time to tell the older daughter. The daughter knowing it was time too told the younger sister to get their mother some water.

"Talhysah, sweetie. I think you know that I don't have much time, I am sick and you know this. I want you to take care of Saraphynee for me. She won't have anyone but you. Please protect her for me. I love you sweetie. But I think it's time for me to go." Her daughter cried down on her knees, knowing this was the last moment.

By the time the younger sister came back, her mother's heart monitor was flat, and her sister was crying, holding onto the hand of the now dead mother. The younger of the two screamed out causing the nurses and doctors to come running in. Pushing the two children out. The older knew that wish was her mother's final death wish, knowing that she made a promise to her now dead mother.

The two sisters left the hospital, feeling worse than they were feeling before.

-End of Flashback-

"I'm sorry mother. I couldn't keep my promise. I failed you. I failed Sara, I- I-"I broke down into sobs and gasps. I can't believe I would do this. I was supposed to keep my freaking promise. But I didn't. "S-Soorry!" I cried screaming, thinking of how I'm just a failure in life. I wanted to just forget everything. I ran out on the schools roof and slid on the doorway. I curled up into a ball and cried, till I couldn't.

Why am I such a failure? Why can't I do anything right?

After my crying fit, I took out my note book and wrote how I felt at that moment.

I promised you,

I told you I'd protect.

I lied

I hate what I became.

I promised I protect.

This darkness encloses me

I said I'd never disappoint.

I lied.

I promise I will never hurt you again

I promise you I will lie.

I told you I'd protect

I lied.

I hurt you.

I promised you.

I'd never hurt you.

I lied.

I began feeling completely numb. I played my iPod and tried to forget how I failed everyone.

I tried to forget about how I messed up poor Sara.

"Talhysah! Talhysah! Where are you!?" I heard a voice call me. Sounding a lot like Syo. I ignored it, not wanting to see him. If it wasn't for him, I'd never do that. No, it wasn't his fault. It was all mine. My fault I did those things to him, my fault Sara caught me, my fault for forgetting my promise.

"I'm sorry mother."

-Saraphynee's POV-

"Sissy! Come back!" I cried seeing the hurt my sister had. I tried to run after her only to run into Syo-kun.

"Oomph! I'm sorry. I need to get Sissy." I spoke up after rubbing my arm in pain. Syo was looking away towards the place Talhysah had run off too.

"What happened? Talhysah just ran off after saying she was supposed to protect you. What happened?" I could tell that Syo was worried as much as I was. I think it's about time I explain our situation. Our past. I brought Syo into our room, where Natsuki was looking at all my stuff animals. I sat the two boys on my bed as I began to explain.

"Well, umm, I think it's about time I explain our past. The reason Talhysah, sissy, got so upset is well," I paused trying to explain. "She thinks she failed her mother, our mother." I looked up to see the two guys looking confused. "Here let me start from the beginning. Talhysah and I had a really abusive family. Our dad liked to hit us and hit our mom. Mother was already a really weak lady. So, well after years and years of this abusive behavior. She finally had enough." I paused, realizing I was beginning to tear up. "Mom left our dad, but not before he threw her body to the wall. I remember seeing the blood from her body. I was scared. Talhysah was the one who had been frightened the most. As Sissy ran up to father, he called her terrible things and slapped her. Once we finally we set free, Mother, Sissy and I were sent to a home for abusive victims." I saw that Natsuki had been trembling "I was always at school and Talhysah had taken all the responsibility to take care of mother, but after a few months, she was getting worse. This was how our mother went to the hospital. Once she was at the hospital, we visited almost every day. Till, one day, s-she was really sick…Sissy and I had visited her and as I was there, Mommy was coughing a lot, the tubes and heart monitor were, going crazy. I think at that moment, mother was going to die. I was told to get mother water. Talhysah told me that before mom took her breaths she told Talhysah to protect me. To never let me get hurt. She wanted me to be safe." I began to cry, remembering how Talhysah saw me tied up, must think I was being hurt. "Talhysah promised this to mom, this was her final wish. Talhysah must think she failed mom and she failed me. I can't, I can't imagine how Talhysah must feel. She thinks she failed everyone. She, she needs to know, she isn't a failure." I felt arms around me, looking up I saw that the arms were both Syo and Natsuki. Both of them in tears. I cried along with them feeling the sadness Sissy must be feeling.

Once all of us were done crying, Syo had told me he'd look for Talhysah. Natsuki and I had agreed that we'd all find her together. We need to let her know, she didn't fail us.

Syo ran outside and called out to Sissy. "Talhysah! Talhysah! Where are you!?

"Tay-chan!" Natsuki called out, looking all around the court yard.

"Sissy! I'm not mad at you. You didn't fail me or mother. Come out!" I called out noticing that there was movement on the roof. I saw Talhysah crying on the ledge. I gasped seeing her with dark eyes.

"Syo! Natsuki! I found Talhysah, she's on the roof." I cried out to the boys. Syo being really fast, darted out to the building. I ran with Natsuki afterwards. Once all three of us were there I saw my sister leaning over crying in her arms. Next to her a notebook, written on the top in bold letters "Who am I becoming?" read it over and hugged her. Never knowing this is what Talhysah felt. All this time she seemed so happy and well put but in reality, she was wearing a thick mask. Hiding what she truly felt.

"Talhysah. I know what happened to you. I never knew. You never failed your mother. You have always protected Saraphynee. You were always there for her when she needed to be held. I remember you even kicked the crap, out Natsuki when we first met. You've always watched over her. Even until now, you're always being the sister she needs." Syo walked over to sissy and rubbed her back in circular motions. Natsuki walked up to Sissy next and softly spoke up "Tay-chan. I can't even imagine how you're feeling. But, don't cry. FeeFee loves you and she could never be mad at you. Even your mother loves you. I bet she's smiling down at you, knowing that you have been the best sister anyone could ask for. Remember that you have been there for her for years. Doing what you could to protect her. Just remember that we all care for you. Sometimes you just need to let us know about what you're feeling. We will be there for you." Natsuki then hugged Sissy. All four of us had cried, holding each other. At that moment, we were connected. Feeling the pain each and everyone one us has been through.

After crying with one another, Talhysah had finally calmed down thanking us for everything. Sissy wiped away her tears as she looked at the three of us "Thank you so much for everything you said. I needed to hear those words. I needed to know that you weren't mad at me. I guess I forgot that I had protected you since day one. Never leaving your side. I apologize for being so pathetic. I'd like to leave now though. It's really cold out here. And besides, I want food right now." All four of us had laughed a bit glad that Sissy got her old self back.

"Let's go then." I said grapping Sissy's hand, leaving the cold roof.
