Authors Notes- Well, this is gonna end really soon. Only a few more chapters. I think. All depends on Moo, Carne, and roafur. Theres two songs for this one. The first is called 'Brand New Day' and the other is 'So Far Away' by Crossfade.


Hana's little 'intervention' did not go so well for Akito. It caused Black Haru to descend upon her.

"You fucking bitch. You knew that Isuzu and I loved each other, but you didn't care, did you? Now I'll never have her back! I''m going to fucking kill you unless you get out of this house RIGHT NOW!"

Akito did not need to be told twice. She ran as though she was being chased by the devil himself.

Hatori came into the room. He had heard it all.

He saw his little brother drop down onto his knees, and heard the heartbreaking sobs.

All he could do was hold him.


Later that day, Hatori found himself over at the Sumeragi house, asking to speak with Kagura.

"Kagura-san, I wonder if you are aware of the circumstances behind our siblings breakup?"

She just shook her head.

"No. Isuzu-chan never told us."

"Its a long story, which I learned parts of today from my brother, that Magami wench, and your sisters friend, Hanajima Saki, I believe her name is?"

"Go on. I don't know how this all started, but I know how its been lately."

"Magami had been jealous of Isuzu-san. She wanted Hatsuharu for herself, and chose to take him. She invited him over, and my brother, being the person he is, agreed. She slipped something into his tea, which made him pass out. She made it look like they had slept together, knowing Hatsuharu would feel guilty. So guilty, that he felt that he couldn't be with Isuzu-san. He chose to stay with Magami, so that Isuzu wouldn't have to know.

"Not telling Isuzu seemed to be a mistake. This happened when she was sick and missed that week of school. When she came back, she found out about Hatsuharu and Akito through rumors around campus. The shock lead to her fainting. That was when she met Hanajima-san."

Kagura just sighed.

"I think I can tell the rest of the story. Saki-san became a close friend to Isuzu-chan after that. She also introduced her to her...fiancee, Uesugi Shigure-kun. Isuzu-chan started singing with Shigure-kun's band, and the two became closer. It was after one of the shows, when apparently Haru-kun tried to talk to Isuzu-chan. Seeing him made her upset, and she didn't come home that night. Not long after that, she dropped out of school, and began to spend less time here. It wasn't until earlier this month, when she told me her side of the story. She is happy with Shigure-kun, Hatori-san. I don't think that she could handle the truth right now. It could hurt the baby..."

"I see. Even so, Hatsuharu wrote her a letter. Its your choice on whether or not Isuzu-san sees it."

"Thank you for telling me this, Hatori-san. I can only hope that one day, things will work out between all of them."

With that, Hatori went back to Hatsuharu.


Kagura opened the envelope, revealing a single piece of paper.

There was a song written on it. Apparently, this was how the two learned of the feelings of the other.

Never thought I'd say "I'm sorry"
Never thought I'd be the one

To bring you down
Now when I look out my window
But there doesn't seem

To be anyone around

And I

I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day

We said we'd take a little time
For both of us to see
And wonder what it'd be like to carry on
Yeah, I know I got crazy
Well I guess that's just me
If I could turn back time

Before the wrong

And I

I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day

And I

I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed
I think I'll change my ways,

I think I'll change my ways
I think I'll change my ways

Never thought I'd say

I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be

The one

Tears came to Kagura's eyes. She knew that she couldn't show Isuzu.


That night, both Akito and Isuzu were feeling the same. Betrayal. Shock. But, Isuzu was just dreaming, and when she woke up, things would be fine again. But for Akito, things were forever different, just as they were once for Isuzu.

Akito sat there in her room, trying her hardest to ignore her mother. Akito and Ren had never gotten along, not since the death of Akito's father, Akira.

Then an idea came into her head, as she listened to the radio.

I've been changing but

You'll never see me now

I've been changing but

You'll never see me now

Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more holding it in

How many years can I pretend

That nothing ever goes the way it should

No more sitting in this place

Hoping you might see it my way

'Cause I don't think you ever understood

That what I'm looking for are the answers

To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away

I've been changing but

You'll never see me now

I'm so far away

Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more waiting for the end

Of every day that I will spend

Wishing that I only had a choice

No more pushing it away

'Cause I'll be busy watching things go my way

Never looking back on this anymore

'Cause what I'm looking for are the answers

To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away

I've been changing but

You'll never see me now

I'm so far away

Now I'm blaming you for everything

I've been changing but

You'll never see me now

Now I'm blaming you for

Everything

I'm so far away

Ignoring the rest of the song, Akito made up her mind. She would have her revenge on all those that hurt her. One by one, they would all pay.

That morning, the body of Magami Ren was found, with her throat cut.
