"Tsubasa, where are you going?" Looking behind whom was calling behind her back, she smiled.

"Good Morning, Hatori-san! I was just heading off to school."

"School?"

"Yeah, Akito-san told me to enjoy my stay there with everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Kyo-sama and everyone else!"

Tsubasa looked at the ground as she kept walking forward. Seeing a little sadness in her eyes, Hatori being a bit curious; began to ask.

"Tsubasa, is life still hurting you?"

Giggling, she responded, "Of course not, why would you think so?"

"You've been trapped with Akito, not being able to see anyone but Ayame and I."

"Please, don't worry. I'm fine, I've been just as lonely as he was, I know how Akito-san feels."

"That's what I'm saying… You've been through all this pain, and yet you want to suffer it all again with another."

"Hatori-san, I don't think you understand… I'm not doing this to go through everything over again, I want to help Akito. I don't want him to go through the same path as I did."

As they silently walked by each other, her new school was right before her eyes.

"So, this is it, now Akito is giving you a chance to become a student? Where's your uniform?"

"Nope."

"Don't you think it's awkward that he enrolled you as a student randomly?"

"He's been able to take care of himself. I'm just a person who supports his decisions. I'm just visiting the school." She smiled brightly toward Hatori.

Hatori sighed and waved goodbye as he left toward Shigure's.

As Tsubasa entered the school she looked into every class window; no one was in class. She walked up to one of the students and asks them, "Umm… excuse me… I was wondering…"

The student looked at the young girl in front of her and smirked.

"Who are you searching for?"

"Sohma, Kyo."

"Hmm… walk down this hall and turn left I think that's where he's at with the rest."

"Oh! Thank you so much!"

"Tsubasa…?" Tsubasa looked behind herself to find Hatsuharu standing there.

"Hatsuharu-san…" Tsubasa smiled warmly running towards him. Giving him a warm hug she continued,

"I missed you so much! I haven't seen you for years!"

Hatsuharu just hugged her back; smiling.

"TSUBASAAAAAA!"

"Momiji-san!" Momiji hugged Tsubasa from the back. They both fell down and laughed.

Tohru stood there and getting the chance; she introduced herself,

"Hi, I'm Honda Tohru!"

"Honda-sama, it's an honor to meet you." She bowed down to the floor and stood back up,

"You do live with"

Hatsuharu closed her mouth before she was able to continue,

"The people here at the school aren't supposed to know; they are all over Yuki and Kyo."

"Oh…sorry."

"Tsubasa-san, so you are a student here?"

"Oii? No…I'm just a student to my elders learning about life… home school." Tsubasa smiled big and looked to the left seeing Kyo stand there alone, apart from Yuki, and continued,

"Kyo-sama…!" Kyo grinned a smile, as Tsubasa said his name.

Tsubasa's smile grew bigger seeing Kyo's eyes soften.

As for Tohru, she was confused, "Sama?"

Yuki walked next to Tohru and began the relationship of Kyo and Tsubasa.

"Tsubasa and Kyo were raised by Kasuma. Tsubasa was taken away from her father when she was four and Kasuma volunteered to take care of her, then Tsubasa and Kyo met through Kasuma. Tsubasa respects Kyo in everyway, she would always say that she wants to follow his path no matter where is leads her… but"

"But…?"

"Being Akito himself, he showed her when she became six, Kyo as his true form, she wasn't frightened at all. All she did was smile with saddened eyes and told him, 'I fear the world just the same as you Kyo-sama…'"

"Yuki-kun, you were there…"

"Yeah… Akito probably thought that Tsubasa seeing his true form would change the love and respect she had for him, but he was wrong. It only brought them closer. That's when he took her away to his home away from everyone."

"Akito-san… but now…?"

"Since then she wasn't able to see anyone but Akito, Hatori, and Ayame; no one else for around five years."

Yuki looked at Tohru; she was crying in her hands,

"How could she live so happily, smiling when she was banned to see everyone, I may have lost my mother and father, but I have my friends… She was separated from everyone…"

"Honda-san… I'm sorry. I should have told you anything."

"Yuki-kun… it's okay, thank you. I want to become her friend."

Yuki smiled.

Speedmaster Memo AS TSUBASA:
I never thought what could happen in life, running away from all the problems didn't do any good. But now I know there's more to life than what lies beyond everyone's dreams. Just believe and wish upon the stars every night.
