Haruka sighed as she dropped hotaru and the other children off at school before looking over at Michiru.

"Do you think Tsuki would like to go to that retreat with me this weekend? I mean...I've barely spent any time with her and I am sure she feels like I hate her or something and I think it will be good for her."

The blonde stated as she pulled back onto the road.

"I think it's a great idea."

Michiru agreed before adding "and try to get her to lighten up a bit."

Tsuki groaned as she felt sunlight hit her in the face, prompting her to throw her blankets over her face.

"Come on Tsuki-Chan! It's not everyday you get to stay home from school." Shin chuckled, jumping onto the teen's stomach, causing her to let out an irritated oof.

"Shin! Cut it out! Damnit!"

Tsuki grumbled, shoving the cat away before turning her back to her.

Shin chuckled a bit as she watched the girl burrow beneath the covers once more. Actually acting like a regular teenager for what she figure had to be the first time.

Well at least she is getting sleep.

She thought before heading downstairs to find that Setsuna and Daichi was arguing.

"There's no way you're giving her something like that! She can barely control her powers let alone survive a place like that!"

Setsuna stated, earning a sigh.

"She's stronger than you are giving her credit for and I am not saying she has to use it I just think that she…" Daichi responded, though it was Shin who cut him off.

"Setsuna's right. In the mental condition that Tsuki's in right now she would probably use it as some form of self flagellation. She will inherit the powers and kingdom of the Kurai Clan once she is ready. As of right now though I think it's best to just treat her like your daughter and not like some mistake that Daiki made in the silver millennium."

Shin stated, watching as the man flinched.

"I didn't mean it like that!" he stammered, earning a glare from the feline.

"Well it sure as the stars sounded like it! You stayed gone for two days because she made you uncomfortable or whatever when in all honesty she could have probably used your company here yesterday when she blacked out and punched a girl!" Shin continued.

Daichi glared then.

"I left because I don't want to make her uncomfortable! I know she's afraid of men!" he argued though Setsuna was the one to cut him off.

"Daichi, with all due respect. It's because of that that she needs her father here with her. She needs to be shown that not all men are alike but how can she believe that when her own father, who she so longed to meet seems to favor her sister over her?"

Meanwhile at the public school Haruka was seated in the back of her class, twirling a pen around her fingers as the teacher droned on and on about Oda Nobunaga.

He killed his brother, was ruthless….most of us learned this in elementary school.

She thought as she turned her attention to the window, watching how the snow seemed to glow as the sunlight broke through the clouds and reflected off of it.

"Miss Tenou, Care to tell us who or what Nobunaga captured during the year of 1581?" the teacher, a man by the name of Joru Isuma asked, causing her to sigh and slowly get to her feet.

"He captured Kofu."

She stated simply before sitting back down.

"Correct. How did he meet his end?"

Okay now I officially hate history…..or at least this teacher.

She thought as she answered

"Historians do not know, though he was either killed in battle or committed seppuku. His grave is at the Daitokuji Temple."

Michiru tried not to look too amused at her lover's bored tone, or the teacher's irritation. He should really know not to get on Haruka's bad side at this hour.

How Haruka was sitting in a huff Michiru couldn't help but think of Tsuki, especially since their sulking was so similar. She wondered briefly if maybe Tsuki was more like Haruka than anyone thought.

She could imagine the younger girl being just as animated, if not more so. Though she knew it would be a long time before anyone saw Tsuki that comfortable with herself.

Tsuki groaned as she felt something cold touch her cheek, causing her to have to wake up.

"What do you want?" she grumbled, though Setsuna only frowned.

"You're burning up." she stated, putting a hand on Tsuki forehead.

"I'll be fine."

Tsuki argued, pulling away though the woman just sighed.

"You're just as stubborn as your sister." Setsuna stated, getting up and leaving the room only to return with a thermometer.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Tsuki argued, earning a glare.

"Open." Setsuna ordered, rolling her eyes at the girl's stubbornness.

"This is what you get for going outside last night without a jacket." Shin stated as she jumped up onto the bed.

"Shut up." Tsuki retorted from around the object.

"You can nag later, now hush."

Setsuna stated, trying to hide her amusement at the pair of them. She had to wonder just what Michiru and Tsuki had talked about the previous night for her to be seemingly so relaxed.

Once the thermometer beeped setsuna looked at her, smirking slightly.

"Now you can talk."

Tsuki scowled though didn't say anything as she waited for the woman to look at the object.

"100.8...you definitely need to see a doctor."

They both noticed how Tsuki blanched at this though they didn't say anything.

"Tsuki, would it make you feel better if we both come?" Shin asked, reminding Tsuki that she had an human form.

Tsuki however didn't say anything but only pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them.

"No...that's okay."

She responded, her voice barely loud enough to be heard.

"You sure?" Shin responded questionally.

Tsuki only nodded then looked away, tears suddenly in her eyes.

"I….Know that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me."

This stumped Setsuna, who couldn't help but wonder why Tsuki seemed to be so frightened of the concept of a doctor visit, especially since this wasn't the first time.

"Did someone besides Kenji and Akemi hurt you?" Setsuna asked, hoping that mentioning the pair wouldn't conger up.

Another nod of affirmation held her answer.

What the hell?

She thought as she watched as Tsuki began to shiver slightly.

"We'll wait and see if your fever gets better on its own before we decide to do anything other than treat it at home."

Setsuna decided then added "I'll bring your lunch up here to you….along with something to control that fever."
