That morning midorikawa walked, no skipping happily to the dinning table. After the talk with hiroto, midorikawa got his head cleared off of diam and midorikawa now is happy as ever. He hummed as he took a toast, place the tip in his mouth and sat on the dinning table. The children stared at midorikawa. Wondering why he was so cheerful today. Yesturday he stomped up the stairs and now, skipping to the dinning table. This was not midorikawa.

"uhm...reize? Are you alright?"Maki asked.

"yea." Midorikawa munched on the bitten part of the toast. The children all stared at their partners. Unable to believe midorikawa's words. That was the time hiroto came into the kitchen.

"Hiroto!" Midorikawa threw his half bitten toast and it landed in dezarm's hair. The children covered their mouths with their hands. Trying to hold their laughter.

"One laugh you're dead." Dezarm took the toast off his hair, "dam! The jelly is making the toast stick to my hair."

"HAHAHA" The children laughed, ignoring the death glare coming from dezarm.

"Hiroto!" Midorikawa hugged hiroto's arm.

"oh, hey midorikawa." the red head smiled.

"hehe.." Midorikawa giggled. The children stared at them jaw-drop.

"What the-! Since when did you two became this close!"

"yesturday of course! Right hiroto-kun?" Midorikawa turned his head to face hiroto.

"h-hiroto-kun!" The children could not believe that they just heard. Midorikawa just called hiroto, hiroto-kun. Is midorikawa in love with hiroto? That's a question that doesn't need to be answered as the answer was right in front of their faces.

"Ne, hiroto-kun. Let's go out. I need to get new clothes for myself."

"o-oh ok." With that, Midorikawa pulled hiroto out of the orphange.

"Hey! What about your breakfast!" Rean called the two, however, there was no answer.

"that was weird." Burn commented.

"hey, minna! Wanna go out shopping again!" IC suggested.

"huh? Shopping again!" The boys did not want to help the girls carry the shopping bags again.

"come on. I want to shop again!" IC begged.

"No!"

"Pleaseeee!" she begged using puppy dog eyes.

"N-O! No!"

"Onii-chan!" She ran to IQ, "minna do not want to go shopping again."

"Don't worry Ai. I'll help you!" IQ had flames in his eyes. The boys back away.

"i-i-IQ! Please! You don't want to carry those bags right!" Burn shouted.

"IQ told me to help her and I will!"

"Your little sister controls you!" Burn asked in an angry tone.

"SSHHHUUUUTTTTT UP-!" IQ was stopped by gazelle's tail. He tripped and fell, "ow..."

"so, are we going out or-"

"I want to go out! I want to ride on that wheel thingy again." Gazelle said.

"It's a ferris wheel." Heat corrected him.

"sorry again." Gazelle scratch his head.

"ok! Let's go to the mall." Burn turned his body away from gazelle, trying to hide his blush.

"eh...burn-sama's blushing.." Nepper nugged burn.

"i-i-i'm not!" Burn denied. The children all stared at burn with the 'don't deny it' look, "let's just go alright." Burn left the orphange after he said that.

"Hey! Wait up!" The rest followed.

The children were walking in the shopping mall. Looking for hiroto and midorikawa who were actually in a clothes shop.

"Where are the two anyway? We've been walking around this place for like how long?" Burn asked.

"exactly one hour." IQ answered.

"I do not need an answer."

"Sorry."

"Hey! I think That's hiroto-san!" Bara shouted, pointing a finger at hiroto. Who was in the clothes shop. Standing near the doorway. Rean stepped forward and waved frantically.

"Hiroto-san! Hiroto-san!" She yelled. Somehow, the redhead heard her and turned his head to rean.

"rean?" He looked at her shocked. At that time midorikawa came out of the fitting room.

"How do I look hiroto-kun!" He asked. The children mouth hang opened. There midorikawa stood. Clad in a pink nightgown.

Hiroto covered his nose with his hand. God I'm having nosebleed. Hiroto cursed his bad luck. He never saw midorikawa in such a revealing outfit. That actually makes him sexy. No wait! Hiroto! What are you saying! Hiroto shoke his head to get rid of the dirty thoughts.

"uhm...you look really good! ah..hehe..." Hiroto was trying to lower the temperature forming on his cheeks. The children all stared at the really HOT midorikawa.

"Hiroto can't stand this could he?" Clara asked.

"well think about it. Hiroto is crushing in midorikawa. Midorikawa shows up in a really revealing dress. What do you think will happen?" Burn answered, "Right gazelle?" He turned his head to gazelle, "Gazelle?" He questioned.

However, the neko-mini wasn't listening. He was busy looking elsewhere. Burn looked up at where gazelle was looking at. What he saw waa a woman with a man and a little girl. Burn wondered what was wrong with them. He place his hand on gazelle's shoulders.

"Gazelle? What's wrong?" that alerted the sliver hair teen.

"o-oh! Uhm...it's nothing..." his voice slowly drifted away with the wind. Gazelle looked down at the floor. It's great to see you again mistress. Leading a good life. I really miss you. Gazelle thought. He was sad, yea, but he should be happy for his mistress. She was able to get rid of those painful thoughts and moved one.

"Hey gazelle-sama! You said that you want to ride on the ferris wheel. Let's go there after dinner!" IC suggested.

"ya...ok." Gazelle walked off, with his head bend down. His bangs covering his eyes.

"Gazelle..." burn knew something was troubling gazelle. It definitely had something to do with the family he saw just now, "you guys go ahead. Me and gazelle will catch up with you later!" Burn speed off to find gazelle.

Burn had been looking for gazelle around the whole entire shopping centre. The washroom, the shops even the resturants, but still no sign of the neko-mini.

"where are you you stupid cat?" He cursed himself. Burn stopped and place his hand on the wall. Dam he was tired. After running around the whole entire shopping mall. Out of the blue, he heard a sob. He looked around. Turning ihs head side to side. Wondering if that was gazelle. No, gazelle was not here. Maybe he mistook that that was gazelle. No, that was gazelle's sob. He tried to listen more carefully. Another sob was heard, and another, and other. Slowly, he traced it to an emergancy staircase door. He peeked into it. Burn noticed a tail laying on the floor. Thinking it was gazelle's, he opened the door and shouted,

"gazelle!" the neko-mini turned his head to face burn. His eyes were red due to all the crying.

"were you crying?" Burn walked slowly to gazelle.

"Get alway from me. I just want to be alone." Gazelle snapped. His tail curved itself on the floor.

"you okay-?" Burn was just about to place a hand on his shoulders when gazelle smacked his hand away.

"I said leave me alone!"

"gazelle, I was just-"

"I don't need your help! Now, get lost!"

"Hey! I'm just trying to help! Can't a friend help a friend!" Burn fumed. Man, this neko-mini is hard to calm down. Gazelle stared at burn wide-eyed. Burn's eyes turned wide-eyed too. He looked away from gazelle.

"i-I'm sorry." He apologized, "i-ididn't mean to shout." Gazelle turned his head away from burn.

"just leave me alone."

"not unless you tell me what happened. You just look at a random family and you started to cry." Burn explained. He placed a hand on gazelle's shoulder, "Tell me. I could help" Gazelle turned his head a little to look at burn.

"fine, I'll tell you." Burn grined. He got the neko's attention.

"actually, that woman. She was my mistress."

"What!"
