When they got to the house Saru walked in, set Kyo's stuff on a counter, and walked off.

"Hey, wait," Yuki stated. Saru turned around and Yuki continued, "Where are you staying?"

"Where ever I can," Saru claimed.

"Would you like to stay here?" Yuki asked.

"Isn't this place Shigure-Kun's?" Saru asked.

"Yeah," Yuki responded.

"Aren't I post to get his permission?" Saru asked.

"It's fine with me. As long as you do chores, obey my orders, and go to school," Shigure stated.

"Yes, sir," Saru agreed.

"Come on, I'll show you to your room," Yuki stated.

Saru nodded and followed him to a room. She looked at it in amazement.

"Here ya go," Yuki informed.

Saru walked pass him. Yuki walked back to the living room. Saru closed the door and threw her bag onto the bed. Saru jumped onto the bed and screamed into a pillow.

She quickly changed into her gothic cloths and unpacked her stuff, but when she got to her picture of her and her mother, she paused and looked at it.

"I miss you mother," Saru whispered putting the picture on the bedside table.

Then she took out a picture of her, Yuki, Hatori, Haru and Shigure. Saru was turning nine, Yuki was only eight, Haru was only seven, Hatori and Shigure were eighteen. Everyone was putting one arm around the next person and having a huge smile on their faces.

"I remember this. It was at the my birthday party, but we celebrated it on February twenty-eighth. I used to have such long hair and I was such a tom boy. Oh, and Yuki, I remember he asked me to marry him when he turned eighteen. I told him yes. I wonder if he remembers. Doubt it, hmm, and Hatsuharu he turned into dark Black Haru. I remember he almost ruined my birthday, but I punched him. Then we battled until he grew tired and then he changed into his juunishi. Shigure used to draw pictures of me. They were so weird, but, of course, when your young you think stuff like that is cute. Hatori and I used to play cute little games. I remember I sung for those boys and they all clapped. I felt so special," Saru smiled remembering her great past. Then clenching her fist that wasn't holding the picture, "Of course that was the last day I saw any of them"

She set the picture next to the picture of her mom and her. Then she continued unpacking her bag. When she was done she took out her binder and started to work on her homework. She was done before she knew it. When she was done she took out her radio/CD player and started to listed to it. Then she started to sing along.

"I'm wasting my time, I'm wasting my time again," She sang closing her eyes and listening to the guitar play.

When it was over she flipped to her favorite song, #23.

"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?" She sang, singing the whole song, but what she didn't know was everyone could hear her singing. When the song was done Saru turned off her CD player and walked out to the living room. Everyone looked at her. Saru looked at them strangely.

"What?" Saru asked stopping and looking at them.

"How have you been?" Shigure asked.

"Good, why?" Saru asked.

"What happened after your ninth birthday?" Tohru asked.

"...how did you know?" Saru asked suspicious.

"Shigure remembered and told us," Tohru stated.

"So, you want to know everything?" Saru asked.

"The basics," Tohru smiled.

"After my grandma took me she locked me up in a cell with only college books, a light, information on the juunishi. When I turned thirteen she let me out and sent me to school. Happy now? You just got my life's story," Saru informed.

Saru walked out the door and to the Sohma family estate. She knocked on the door and Momiji answered.

"Momiji?" Saru asked looking at him with wide eyes.

"Yes?" he asked looking at her with a huge smile.

"It's Saru, I don't think you remember, but we used to be really good friends," Saru stated.

Momiji gave Saru a big hug. Saru hugged back and Momiji stated, "You said you'd always protect me, but you haven't,"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Grandma took me and I had no choice," Saru claimed.

Momiji let Saru in and to his room. They sat on his couch and talked.

After a bit, a man came in and said, "Akito would like to see you, Neeka-San,"

Saru nodded and got up. Then said to Momiji, "I talk to you in a bit,"
