My e-mail is: you! But, once again my scanner isn't working. SORRY:(
At Shigure's…
"Hatori! Why are you here?"
"Shigure, guess who I saw walking to school today?"
"Hmm… Yuki and them?"
"Tsubasa."
Shigure's eyes widened hearing that name, "Tsubasa…"
"I don't understand it either, why would Akito set her free after five years of torture?"
"………"
"I'm going to Akito's, are you coming with me?"
"Yeah, but let me leave a note for Yuki and everyone else."
"You don't have to, I'm sure you'll be back there before they're home, I'll see you in the car.
"Tsubasa-san?"
"Honda-sama, what can I do for you?"
"Please… Honda or Tohru is just fine."
"No! I can't Honda-sama, I owe you so many honors, and my life should now belong to yours!"
"EHHHH?"
"Oii! What's wrong?"
"Your life is mine? Tsubasa-san what are you talking about?"
Tsubasa starred at the ground and then looked up into Tohru's eyes.
"You helped Kyo-sama. I would do anything for him to save his happiness, but I couldn't. I wasn't able to see him, and you were able to. I owe you my life, just as Kyo-sama would."
"Please, Tsubasa-san…"
"I deserve no respect from you; please just call me 'Tsubasa'"
"Tsubasa…? ---chan. Tsubasa-chan! How about that; is that okay?"
"Chan… yeah, sure…" Her dark eyes became duller.
"Honda-sama… I think I'll leave back home now, if there is anything you need for me to do, please call my cell phone."
Tsubasa took out a little memo pad from her side backpack and wrote her number with an orange colored pen.
"Tsubasa-chan, you have a cell phone?"
"Yeah, Hatori-san bought me one a couple of year ago as a gift; just in case I need him or Ayame."
She took out her cell phone and reached her arm out to show Tohru. The phone was silver with a keychain; the keychain was a little angelic frame with a picture in it. One of the corners had feathery wing with a heart and the opposite corner of that there were two thin long fabrics hanging. Tohru reached toward the little keychain, and looked at the picture; her eyes widened in shock.
"That's my dad and I! I haven't seen him for the longest time, but Hatori-san tells me about him everyday!"
"..Tsubasa was taken away from her father when she was four..."
Remembering what Yuki had said before made her want to cry, but she held it in.
"Tsubasa-chan…do you know where your dad is right now?"
"Nope! But Hatori-san said he's really happy where he is with a lot of company, and that makes me happy!"
"Tsubasa-chan…"
"Honda-sama? Are you okay?"
"Tsubasa-chan, can you come over to my place today?"
"I'm not sure; I'll call Hatori-san first…"
"Oh okay."
Tsubasa dialed his phone number and put the cell to her year…
"Hello?"
"Hatori-san? This is--"
"Tsubasa, I know."
"Hatori-san… can I go over to Honda-sama's place?"
"Go over to Shi-Honda-sama's place…?"
"Shi? What were you going to say…? I thought only Honda-sama, Kyo-sama, and Yuki-sama lives there…Is there someone else?"
"…."
Shigure walked behind Hatori, as he opened the door…
"Hatori, I thought you left."
"Why did you suddenly let Tsubasa free?"
"I'm going to die soon this month, I can feel it."
"Does this mean Tsubasa can see everyone she wants?"
"I don't care anymore; I don't need her to be by my side anymore."
Akito laughed gracefully, as if he was expecting something to happen.
"Are you planning something?"
"Can you see through me, setting her free will only bring her back to me before I die. She'll suffer more and she'll feel the worst pain that she deserves."
Listening to this, Shigure left to Hatori's car, only wanting to see her more."
Hatori's eyes widened,
"What are you planning? She's already suffered enough!"
"SHE HASN'T! SHE HASN'T ANYTHING FELT ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT WORD"
Akito started to laugh louder and louder,
"When she enters Shigure's home, she'll understand she isn't needed."
Not wanting to hear anything else, Hatori left the room.
"Hatori-san?"
"Tsubasa, do you really want to go their home?"
"If you don't want me to go… then I'll just walk back! I wont' mind, really."
Hatori knew that she wanted to leave. Not being able to live in a real home he softened a bit,
"Tsubasa, just go, but don't cause too much trouble…"
"I won't! I won't! Trust me Hatori-san! I'll have so much fun!"
"Aa… Call me when you want to be picked up."
With that Hatori and Tsubasa ended their conversation. Tohru looking worried asked Tsubasa,
"Is something wrong?"
"No… Hatori-san just hesitated to say something." Tsubasa smiled, thinking it was just nothing.
"Don't worry Honda-sama! Everything is fine!"
"If you say so… Let's get headed home okay?"
Tsubasa nodded her head.
Tohru led Tsubasa toward her home, as Kyo and Yuki were fighting behind them.
"Tah dah! This is it!"
Tsubasa's eyes sparkled with amazement, but it ended when she heard a voice
"Tohru-kun! Yuki-kun! Kyo-kun! Are you guys out there? I wanted to talk to you guys about something!"
Shigure, he opened the door and saw Tsubasa stand still.
"Tsubasa?"
Tsubasa not knowing for sure who he was ran behind Kyo,
"Kyo-sama…who's that…?"
"He's…Umm…Tsubasa, that's…"
"Oii…?"
Kyo knelt down to Tsubasa's height and put his hand on her head. With his other hand, he took out Tsubasa's cell phone,
"Look, he's your father."
Tsubasa looked at the cell phone picture; this was when she was four.
Her eyes started to quiver and she started to loose her balance; pure darkness.
