Everyone turned to stare at the door.

"It's after 11:00. Who would be here," Luka asked, quietly, as another knock was pounded onto the door.

Rin looked from Luka to the door, and then ran over to the door, swinging it open. Kaito was standing on the other side, soaking wet, eyes dark and barely visible over his eyes. His head was bowed.

"We're moving."

Gakupo slammed the U-Haul's back door. "Well, that's it, I guess," the purple-haired man said, turning around, only to be hugged tightly by a shorter girl.

"B-big br-brother…" Cul whispered, sobbing. Gumi stood back, rubbing her arm, eyes sympathetic.

Luka, a few feet away, next to Kaito's car, turned to said man, glaring. "Why are we moving? Goddamnit, Kaito, you're separating those two! Look at how heart breaking that fucking sight is!" She whispered, infuriated, as she pointed a finger to Gakupo, who was kneeling down, holding Cul by the shoulders, trying to calm down the sobbing girl.

Kaito stared at them, his face emotionless. "Taito is alive. And he's not going to jail."

Luka was taken aback. She stared at the bluenette, dumbfounded. "What? How did he manage to escape a rape charge?"

"That's just the thing," Kaito sighed, his voice low, his head lower. "He didn't rape her. It was an attempted rape… and his attorney was good. I'll be damned if I know where he got enough money to pay the guy."

"He's a criminal. And that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. But we don't need to move."

Kaito's head jerked up, his eyes blazing. "We don't need to move? Are you fucking kidding me? That man – my brother – is a monster. He'd come back for Cul. It was this or witness protection program, and the chance we'd all be split up. I'm not taking that chance."

Luka bowed her head, a tear running down her cheek. Kaito's face softened. "I know you'll miss Gakupo. I'm sorry, I honestly am." He then walked over to where Piko, Nigaito, Mikuo, Kiyoteru and a bawling Yuki were.

"But I don't want Piko-chan and Nigaito-chan and Mikuo-chan to leeeeaaavveeeeeeee!" The young girl wailed, and the three young boys looked at each other, their face full of sadness. Kiyoteru patted Yuki's head and said quiet, soothing things to her. The three young boys hugged the young student into a group hug. Kaito sighed. "Come on boys. We need to get moving if we're going to make it to the new house by Tuesday."

Nigaito turned to the older man. "Do we really have to go back to school, Kaito?"

Kaito shot daggers at his younger brother. "Yes. If Cul does, you do."

A horn honked, and the group turned around to see Gakupo honking in their direction. "Come on, Kiyo!"

Kiyoteru picked up a still crying Yuki and walked over to the purple truck, setting Yuki in the back, and climbing in the passenger side. Kaito noticed Cul watching sadly, Luka hugging her.

"Alright everyone. Time to…" The bluenette inhaled. "Time to get going."

Once everyone was packed into the three cars, Kaito led the way down the street.

In a different car, Cul looked out the window, at her old house, and, after a while, she looked at the sign, that read, "Thank you for visiting Columbus, Ohio! Hope to see you again!"

"Luka? Where are we moving?" The red-head asked.

The driver kept her eyes straight forward. "Las Vegas."

Cul's eyes went wide, and she hastily turned in her seat, her face pressed against the back window, trying to get one last glance at her hometown.

After a few minutes, it was gone, and all she saw was unfamiliar territory.
