Kisa had been their house guest for about three days now, and was following her like a little duckling. Which was the cutest thing in the world, which reminded Minami how much she actually liked kids. Kisa sometimes wore her wearing her school uniform, which was dropped off by Hatsuharu when Kisa's mother left. She had been waiting for her even out of the bathroom, which was a little embarrassing but after a while, it was pretty easy to get used to. Her school uniform was a light purple colored tailored sweater with dark purple sleeves, along with a yellow ribbon around the color.

It consisted of a short light purple skirt, along with long white stocking and a pair of brown loafers. If she wasn't wearing that, then she was wearing feminine, non flashy clothing. But at the moment she was trying borrow some of Minami's clothes, which were too big on her, so she gave her some of Tohru's old clothes, that she had in a box. Which were still too big on her, but not as much. So she wore most of Tohru's shirts as a dress and had her own shorts. Kisa would look down embarrassed and hold onto her hand.

"You're so cute." Minami gushed happily as Kisa followed her and helped her around the house. Kisa almost always had a blush on her face from what seemed to be pure happiness.

"Minami, I'm hungry." Kyo said. Kisa still had yet to say a single word. So they played Amidakusu, which was where Kisa followed a line down and choose something to eat. Once they left for school, Kisa spent most of her time either in her room or sitting outside. They saw Momiji and explained what happened.

"It's always at Shi-chan's house when there's a need to separate…" Momiji said, thinking about Kisa's mother. "So that's why after this, what will happen to Kisa…" Momiji asked as they ate lunch on the roof. Kyo was out with Uo and Hana so he wasn't there at the moment.

"At this time, I have no idea." Hatsuharu said. "At this rate, it's good enough for now to completely tolerate those ideas, those ideas however.. That's why I went over to that place myself…"

"Her mother." Yuki said and Momiji looked off in the distance with a distant look on his face.

"Momiji, Kisa's mother's alright. Yesterday she called us she asked: 'Is Kisa doing well? Is Kisa eating her meals? Kisa doesn't like sweets very much… She loves niratama a lot..'"

… That means. That means. Kisa's Mutti was worried about Kisa wasn't she otherwise she wouldn't call.. Would she?"Momiji asked.

"Correct." Minami said wanting to cheer him up.

"I see!" Momiji said happily and hugged her tightly. She returned it easily.

"... Moreover, what was their 'motive'. For them to start treating her like that.." Yuki asked looking down.

".. Like how?" Hatusharu asked and Yuki nodded.

"I know." Momiji said and they looked over at him. "I overheard all our aunts gossiping about it. They said that Kisa was totally cut off…. In the beginning it was 'seeing her eyes. Because her hair and her eyes were different.. Her strange appearance hindered everyone's feelings."

"It's destiny for those of us with different hair color to be treated and be said things like that. But no one really said anything about mine." Hatsuharu said playing with a strand of his hair.

"The reason why no one said anything about it because you would turn 'Black' and beat anyone who did in a fistfight." Yuki said with a flat tone.

"Eh…" Hatsuharu sighed. "Kyo was worse.. That guy half-killed those who did."

"I was bullied too." Minami said and they looked over at her. "Are you surprised?"

"Well… I guess not." Yuki said.

"People treat you weird here too." Hatsuharu said.

"It was pretty bad." Minami said. "Some girls tried to cut my hair and the boys would pull it. I had a different skin color too, the only one in my whole class, which made it even wore. But I knew who I was, that they were just being narrowed minded."

"But…" Momiji said making them look at him. "Kisa tried that too. She tried her best with all of it, whatever sort of methods… and this time. Everyone in her class decided to ignore her. Then, while ignoring her, they would smile and giggle amongst themselves when Kisa said something. Giggling and smiling. My… My… class never did such a thing to me. That's why I couldn't imagine it. I can only guess what it's like. What my feelings would be at those times when they would giggle and smile whenever I talked. That.. That definitely.. would cause sorrowful feelings."

His eyes filled with tears. "Don't cry Momiji." Minami said and patted him on the back."Kisa will get through this, because she's not alone. She has all of us who support her even through her circumstances."

"Class is about to start." Yuki said and wiped some of the tears away with his handkerchief.

"Yuki. Today, I'm going to Sensei's house. I have to deliver something that Kisa needs to see."

"Deliver what object?" Yuki asked and Hatsuharu showed them a letter.

"A letter. I met with Kisa's advisor. The information in this is sure to be a nauseating." Hatsuharu said and him and Momiji walked away.

"It's not good to be weak. I don't think." Yuki said making her look at him confused. "But I don't think there's anything wrong about being weak. Society occasionally favors the survival of the fittest, but we're not animals. We're human beings."

"Yes, you are." Minami said and he took her hand, making sure not to injure it. Yuki and Kyo (Who didn't want to lose to Yuk) were both taking notes for her in class. She didn't want to miss anymore, though her hands were still injured. Momiji was taking her spot at work, because he's so sweet. Classes were boring and Hatsuharu walked back to Shigure's with them.

Kisa trailed behind her and took a seat between her and Hatsuharu. Shigure was still in his office and Yuki was leaned up against the doorway. "This is really nauseating." Hatsuharu said and passed it to Yuki who read it out-loud.

"Sohma-san, are you feeling well enough to gradually return back to school? Everyone in class is waiting for Sohma-san's return. Would you like Sensei to discuss with you on how to make your relationship with everyone more positive when you return? And the most important thing is for Sohma-san to like herself. Once you discover the good points that you like about yourself, once you stop hating yourself, then won't other people start to like you?"

Yuki finished and paused for a few minutes. He took a deep breath and looked over at Kisa, who had a sad look on her face making everyone look at him. "I was… just like Kisa at one time.. To be…. At that occasion… I was a little bit difference but I was ashamed of myself. Having hateful feelings. I think.." He paused showing her the letter. 'This… 'Liking yourself'..." He drops it on the ground and they let it fall. "What does that mean.. 'Good points' how you you search for that…"

"We only sees we bad points thats why we hate ourselves. Why force and strain yourself to see, in vain, it's not like that. It's not that way. It's when someone says 'I like you' first. Only then we begins to think about liking ourselves… When someone accepts you first, only then you can forgive yourself little by little, to start feeling love… That's why I think."

Kisa looks up at Yuki and tears fall down from her eyes. She looks over at Minami. "... Yes. Yes, Yes…. I'm happy… now" Kisa said.

"Ki…" Hatsuharu says but Yuki stops him and walks forward. Making Kisa look at him.

"Kisa." He said. "Kisa after this… will it be the same? Do you think it's good to keep it that way?"

"No… No. I'll try harder a little more… no more…. Steadily. I'll stop being… a hopeless person and eventually make peace even if.. Being ignore, but perfectly, I'll do my best...even so… Well then... .." She pauses. "... Do my best."

Yuki bends down and smiles at her softly. "I'll do my best as well." Tears fall from her eyes as she looks at him. "When you feel sad or treated badly. Come to us separately. Individually."

"After a long time...:" Hatsuharu said and hugs Kisa who closes her eyes and relaxes. "At last, that voice can be heard." Hatsuharu and Kisa have a long hug and Yuki walks away with a smile on his face.

"Onee-chan…" Kisa said Minami joins the hug with Hatsuharu's arms wrapped around the two of them.

The next day Minami, Momiji and Hatsuharu wave goodbye to Kisa as she walks to school. "I hoped Yuki would hav ebeen her too." Momiji said.

"He too had something to do by himself." Hatsuharu said.

"Do your best Kisa." Minami said and she felt at peace.
