Chapter 10

It was late at night when Takano and Ritsu returned from work. When they got home, they saw Lucia walking out of an apartment that wasn't either of theirs. "Oh hey guys," Lucia started. "I was just visiting my friends Liann and V.A." "Wait you came here from the U.S., how did you get friends already?" Takano asked. "Oh, they also came here from the U.S.?" Lucia answered. "Lets just talk about this in the apartment." Ritsu said as he opened his door. They all went in the apartment and ate silently their leftovers from breakfast.

Lucia sensed the awkward atmosphere after they were done eating and were all sitting on the couch. "Um, is something on your minds because everything feels all heavy?" She asked. "W-well, i-it's a-bout..." Onodera was trying his best to speak, but failed. "Uh, Takano-san you say it." Ritsu said, not being able to go further. "Fine. Lucia, it's about this morning. You seemed really upset, what did you mean by "for once"?" Takano asked. The young teen looked down, not knowing how to answer. "Um, you don't have to answer now if it makes you uncomfortable." The brunette said. "No, you guys deserve to know." Lucia started.

"I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but I don't have any common sense." She said. "What do you mean?" Ritsu asked. "I mean that before I came here, I've always felt like I couldn't do anything simple and I was told that." She said and continued. "I also didn't respond well to authority, which made everything harder. And my emotions just went from one extreme to the other, but I never seemed to be happy at all." She said as she started to tear up. "S-so I-I couldn't t-t-take it and I l-left." She then totally started crying and hugged Ritsu. Ritsu hugged her back, not knowing how to stop her crying. "B-but ever since I came here, I've been happier and everything has been going right. Aside from the date." She said. "Wait, what date?" Ritsu asked. "Uh, no date. I mean, uh- I didn't do it okay." Lucia said.

"Well, okay. I actually didn't get any of that." Ritsu said. Lucia giggled a little but kept crying. Neko jumped up on her lap and rubbed his head against her stomach. "W-well, what I'm trying to say is" Lucia started again. "For once I actually feel like I'm cared about and accepted, even with my flaws. I'm just happy you guys don't ask me to change." She said. Takano then started hugging her. "Me and Ritsu would never ask you to change." Masamune said, trying to comfort her. "I just don't want you guys to leave me." She said. "Well, tomorrow we don't have work, so we can spend the day together." Ritsu said. "Will that make you happy?" Lucia didn't answer because she had fallen asleep in their arms. Onodera tried to let her go, but the teen grabbed on to his shirt and whined in her sleep.

"Takano-san, what do we do?" Ritsu asked. "I don't know, she won't let go of my shirt either." After about 15 minutes, they managed to get Lucia to let go of Ritsu, but she was still holding on to the older male. "U-um, why don't we let her sleep with us tonight." Ritsu suggested. "Oh. So you're used to us sleeping together now." Masamune smirked. Ritsu blushed a bright pink color. Because Lucia wouldn't let go, Masamune decided to just sleep with the clothes he had on.

As they got in bed, Masamune reached so he could hug both Lucia and Ritsu. Neko jumped up on the bed and slept at the foot of it. Ritsu soon fell asleep, leaving Takano with his thoughts. "This is one of the happiest moments of my life." Masamune thought. "For once, I actually feel like I have a family." That was his last thought as he fell asleep.

The next day, they went out to eat in the same Italian restaurant that Takano and Onodera had their date. As they were looking at the menu, Lucia noticed the guy that tried to hit on her the night of the "big date" was taking orders at a table really close to theirs. She tried her best to hide herself, but the guy still noticed her.

"Hey, it's you." He said as he walked up to her. "Lucia, you know him?" Takano asked. "Kind of?" She said, but it came out as a question. She then turned back to the guy. "Look whatever your name is-" "My name is Yukito." He interrupted. "Whatever, listen Yukito. I don't know what's in your head, bu-" suddenly, Yukito was lifted up by an 18 year old with spiky black hair. "Is this him Liann?" Kyle asked. "Yup, that's him." "What the fuck are you doing man?" Yukito asked him while struggling. Kyle then took him to the back to try to get the guy fired for harassing a customer.

"Hey, thought you could use my help." Liann said. "Thank goodness you came." Lucia said in relief. "Well, I decided to give Alfred a break, so I took everyone here to eat." She said as she waved good-bye and walked back to her table.

"So, how do you know that guy again?" Onodera asked. "Well, I guess you guys deserve to know." She started. "Remember when you guys had that date?" "Yeah." Ritsu said. "I was there, he was my waiter and he tried to hit on me. That's also why my friends from the U.S. are here and why that song played on that night." She said as she hid her face behind the menu. "Are you guys mad?" She asked. "No, we're not mad." Takano said. "After all you're the one that got Ritsu to go on a date with me in the first place." Ritsu blushed at his comment.

After lunch, they went back home and turned on the television to some random channel and sat together on the couch, while Neko was playing on the ground. Lucia was wearing her glasses and playing around with them. "I didn't know you wore glasses." Takano said. "I don't. These are fake ones. I bought them because I wanted to look smart like you Takano-san." She said. He patted her on the head.

Lucia was totally happy. She didn't think anything could disrupt the relaxing silence. She took a sip of her juice. Then, suddenly...

"Breaking News! A girl has just robbed money from a store. She looked like she was about 12 years old. Here is her picture."

What Lucia saw made her spit out her juice and she started coughing. "Hey, are you okay?" Ritsu asked feeling concerned. "Th-that's, th-that is..." She tried to talk, but the words kept getting caught in her throat. Ritsu and Masamune looked at the screen and saw a young brunette girl with hazel eyes, white skin, and she had freckles. "Do you know her?" Takano asked the young raven haired teen. Lucia then finally spoke. "I-it's Anne."

DUN DUN DUN! How is that for suspense? So, what did ya think of the chapter. Please review, I thank the ones that have reviewed by the way.
