Solar's P.O.V

A week had passed since I had come back; things were slowly, but surely, returning to normal. Everything was going fine, the girls were hanging out more, Neko wasn't getting beat up anymore and no one dared to bug us now I was back. My hair had started growing out again, but I had got it trimmed so I'd have a reminder about what happened when I ran off.

I found out Shirogane and Konecho had loved England so much that they moved there with my three siblings, of course they knew I was alive and regretted making the decision after, but I wouldn't let them stay, plus I would always visit them whenever I got the chance. So things were pretty much normal, until today that was.

I was stood with the guys hanging in front of the Academy, like we always do until the sound of crying reached mine and everyone else's ears. Hikaru released my hand, which he had been holding, to look for the source, but found nothing.

I frowned slightly as it started to attract everyone's attention and soon the Head Mistress and the Principle were out calling for whoever was crying to come out.

What none of us expected was for the crying to get louder and for something, or someone to attach themselves to my waist. As they did so I could feel three things, the first was the person's nails digging into my back, the second was the warm tears soaking through my pink and blue designer shirt and the third was another warm liquid soaking through my pink leggings.

I looked down at the person who had used me as a cry pole only to notice the all too familiar light pink hair. Immediately I pushed the girl away from me before kneeling to her height and taking her into my arms.

"Shh, Hikari it's alright I'm here," I tried to sooth, but I knew she couldn't, Hikari was bleeding and I wanted, no needed, to know why.

"Onee-chan, mama and papa," those were the only words I could make out between the sobs of the girl. The Principle soon had the school nurse out here. She took one look at Hikari before gasping and trying to patch the girl up, but Hikari just screamed at her to get away.

I shook my head slightly as I took the bandages from the nurse. Hikaru knelt down next to me with everyone else as he made funny faces to Hikari to keep her focused on him and not the wound I was patching up.

Once I was done, Hikari seemed happier before she looked at me and started to cry again. I pulled her back into my arms as I started hugging her tighter, while Hikaru frowned at the two of us.

"Hikari it's alright, tell me what happened," I whispered into her ear comfortingly as she pulled away to look at me.

"Mama and papa, they're, they're," she couldn't get it out.

"Mama and papa are what? Hikari?" I asked as I looked at her, she let out a sigh before holding her tears back.

"Mama and papa are gone," she answered as she started crying again. My eyes shot wide open as I looked at Hikari, hoping I'd heard her wrong, or at least hoping she didn't mean gone as in dead.

"What do you mean….gone?" I asked, barely able to get the word out of my mouth as I felt a lump form in my throat.

"Some mean people came to the house and took them," Hikari answered as she started crying again. "They said mama and papa were in debt and needed to pay it back now or else," she added with more tears forming in her eyes. One thing I knew for sure is that it wasn't Suzuyuka, but that just left the question of who?

"Right, come on," I ordered as I stood to my feet. Hikari pulled back to give me a confused look. "We're going to find mama and papa and we'll get them outta this mess," I added with a cheeky smile, making Hikari smile at me. Hikaru put his hand on my shoulder as he gave me a firm look.

"You just got back, and you're leaving again?" he asked, but it came out more as a statement. I shrugged to him.

"If mama and papa are in trouble then-,"

"They're not even your family; she's not even your sister so why are you helping them?" Fushito asked as she stood in front of me, I gave her a shocked look before glaring slightly.

"Hikari, cover your ears," I ordered as I set her down on the ground, she did as told before looking up at me with innocent eyes.

"I promised Hikari I'd always be there for her no matter what happened," I stated as I looked at Fushito, who was soon surrounded by the Host Club and the girls.

"You promised us that too, Solar, or have you forgotten?" Neko asked with a dark voice, I looked at her.

"I have no choice but to leave-,"

"YOU ALWAYS HAD A CHOICE!" Kona yelled as she glared at me, "You always had a choice, you just chose the easy way out," she added, I glared at her.

"She was wanted for murder, what did you want her to do? If any of us were wanted we'd do the same thing, right Mitsukuni?" Mori asked as he defended me. Honey nodded his head slightly.

"We forgive and forget, why can't you do the same?" he asked with a slight frown. The girls looked at them in shock before looking at me.

"I'm going back to the city to find Hikari's mother and father, you can come with me, or you can wait for me to return, I don't mind which," I stated as I picked Hikari back up. Hikaru gave me a frown, along with a look of betrayal before nodding his head.

"I'm coming," he stated as he stood next to me.

"Me too," Kaoru smiled as he walked over to me before shaking Hikari's hand.

"We'll come," Honey smiled as he, Mori, Tamaki, Kyoya and Haruhi walked over to us. Kona gave me a stern look, turning into her mother figure.

"We are coming back, right?" she asked, I nodded my head.

"A few days is all I'll need to bail Akira and Tadashi out of their debt, they gave me the money and I can give it back," I answered with a small smile as Hikari hugged me tight. The girls nodded their heads as we all started walking towards the town where I met Hikari, Tadashi and Akira.

"So, you're not coming back for good?" Hikari asked me as we walked. I looked at her.

"Afraid not Hikari-chan, but you know where I am if you need me, and if you ask mama and papa nicely, maybe they'll let you stay with me every once in a while," I answered with a loving smile before letting her walk ahead of us.

"You really care for Hikari, don't you?" Saki asked me as she looked at the younger girl walking in front of us. I nodded my head as I looked up at the sky before looking at Hikari.

"Of course I do, she may not be family but after spending a few months with her, having her braid my hair, play games and taking her to different theme parks and attractions, she became a second sister to me, like you girls are," I answered with a smile. Neko looked at the girls before looking at me.

"Maybe you shouldn't have come back if you were that happy," Neko said as she looked at me, I knew this would come sooner or later.

"Maybe I shouldn't have, I didn't have to you know?" I asked, everyone looked at me like I was going to stay with Hikari, "But I had to," I added, they all gave me a confused look, "I realised that, maybe my life isn't perfect, maybe I get into fights more often than I should, maybe I have enemies that you can count on more than ten hands," I paused. "But I also have friends that mean the world to me, that I need and can trust, and my heart, no matter where I am, will always be with them, with all of you," I stated as I looked at everyone.

"Besides," I started, "I couldn't let Neko go around teasing everyone without me," I stated as I pulled her into a head lock and gave her a nuggie. We all laughed as I turned towards Hikari, who was waiting for us at the roads.

As we walked I failed to notice the black car following us through the streets. As we walked, we laughed and everyone managed to get out of me what Tadashi and Akira were like and who I had made friends with, since I never told them that.

We were laughing as we walked down the sidewalk but the sound of a loud bang brought us all to reality as we all looked at each other, none of us were hurt, so who?

My eyes flew to Hikari, who lay motionless on the floor.

"No," I whispered, "NO!" I yelled as I ran over to her, another gun shot went off, this time I felt it hit my shoulder, but I didn't care. I held the motionless girl in my arms as Kyoya's Private Police Force came out of nowhere and went after the car. My arm started to become numb as I heard the sound of sirens in the distance.

"Solar," Hikaru whispered as her pulled my sleeve down to inspect the wound that I had. I shrugged him off as I began to search over Hikari's body for her wound; her stomach was where she had been shot.

How did this happen? I minute ago we were all laughing and living a care free life, now, I was holding a girl who was like a second sister to me, who had just been shot in the stomach.

"Solar let me look at your wound," Hikaru ordered, but I just shrugged him off again.

Whoever had shot that gun, whoever had shot Hikari, would pay. They could shoot me, beat me, kill me even, but the minute they touch someone else who's close to me, especially Hikari, is the minute they make the biggest mistake of their life.

Sirens were heard loud and clear to me as both Hikari and I were loaded into the ambulance, the others sat around us as they rushed us into hospital. I held my right hand in Hikari's left until we were taken into separate operating rooms.

And now, they will pay.

So sorry about the long wait for this, and don't kill me if you like Hikari, it was the only thing I could think of to stop this story from ending so soon. Next chapter we will find out if Hikari lives or dies, what's happened to Tadashi and Akira and if Solar will get her revenge. We'll also see who's responsible for everyone Solar cares about getting hurt. Who could it be? REVIEW with your ideas, I'll give you a clue, they've been mentioned once or twice already ;) REVIEW!
