Ema look around, a little surprised at the looks everyone was giving her. Like she had just risen from the dead. She went to smile at them, maybe to reassure them, but she winced as hot pain flashed through her head. She touched the back of her head, feeling the weird thread.

Wataru was at her side, looking up at her with big tear stained eyes. She forced a smiled and patted his head, "Are you okay?"

In a flash of white Tsubaki shoved Wataru down by his face and was now in front of her, looking at her with equally large eyes, "Are you okay?" He demanded, just as Azusa came up behind him. Ema expected him to do something to get him away, but Azusa spoke too.

"What happened?" She realized that Azusa had taken his glasses off, something he only did when he was stressed.

"What..." she touched the back of her head again, "happened?" She was pushed back, everyone no longer in the same room, but pushed back. And then she remembered what had happened earlier.

She laughed lightly and smiled, "I-"

Fuuto slammed his hand right by her head, eye's filled with anger and distress. She could tell that he was worried, just like all the others. "This is not a laughing matter." He screamed, he had been afraid. Afraid that this girl wouldn't be okay, and she had the audacity to laugh.

Ema slid her hand up, and laid it against his cheek, her eyes softened and she smiled. "I swear nothing bad happened." Standing up she she went to dust herself off, face heating up as she noticed she was wearing something completely different.

They had changed her, not wanting to see her in those bloodied clothes much longer.

Hikaru stepped forward and touched her shoulder, "Don't worry I changed you." She didn't look at Hikaru, because even though she knew that he liked to be as a girl, she also knew that he was very much a man.

"Thank-" Ema started to say, but was quickly interrupted.

"Just tell us what happened!" Yusuke snapped as he stepped forward, looking at her intensely.

"Well," she looked up, "I was starting to clean my room, I needed to stop sulking, and I decided to sweep. Wataru scared me while I was up on the chair and I fell over." She did not need to feel her head to know that it was there, now. I guess I hit my head on the way down and passed out."

Kaname grabbed her hands in his, pulling her away from Yusuke and Hikaru, "You'd tell us if you ever..." he searched his head for the right words, "harm yourself. Right?"

She nodded her head, "Yes." She wasn't sure if it was true, but she also knew that they would be hurt if she said anything else.

Hikaru came running down the stairs jumping around happily. Ema stayed on the ground Wataru in her lap, as they watched TV, Kaname and Tsubaki and Azusa and Masaomi sat on the couch watching TV. Fuuto and Yusuke and Louis had went to the kitchen and sat at the table, following Ukyo who had went to the kitchen to start dinner. Iori went to his room, leaving everyone else like normal.

Almost normal, the boys would routinely check up on her. Some trying to be discreet and others being open about their actions. No one left her along for long, still fretting over what had happened.

"Guess what!" Hikaru yelled as he bounced up and down on his feet, clapping his hands. He would always get this way when something good happened, and he could push his brothers onto Ema, or he himself could mess with her.

Kaname leaned to the side, acting like he was trying to see the TV, only he had lost sight of Ema. He waved his hand, "Move, I can't see the TV."

Hikaru shook his head, "Someone better guess." He was smiling, but they all knew he was very serious about this.

Ema spoke up from behind him, "Um.." she smiled up at him, "can I guess?" She had come out of her room, and decided to stay. Louis and Iori had cleaned up the blood in her room, but the Ashina brother's decided to delay getting her a new door.

Hikaru dropped to his knee's and hugged Ema, rubbing against her like a worm, "I would love you too!"

"Um..." she tapped her chin, her cheeks a light blush, "your favorite fashion line released some new items?"

Hikaru laughed and shook his head, "Nope," jumping to his feet he smiled and wiggled around some more, "Mother is letting us use the beach house this weekend!" All at once, their minds shot to their own version of Ema in a bikini.

Ema smiled and laughed softly, "I've never been to the beach before." She was suppose to go with her mother, but the time never came. Her dad was always to busy to go, and even though her friends invited her, she wanted to experience it with her family.

"Well now you will," Tsubaki said after his brother pushed him away, "Everyone's going to go. It'll be fun!"

She nodded her head and laughed, "Hai."
