They were only suspended for one day and already had to pay Shigure $60 each. He finally sat the two in a room and attempted to be a mediator. So far they had only sat in silence. Shigure didn't even know where to start.
"Ok… why don't we start by figuring out the core of the fighting? What started it all?" Shigure asked trying to sound as adult as he could.
"Being stuck together for 2 years could help." Blaze said sarcastically. Brooke just started daggers at her.
"God Brooke if looks could kill." Blaze said noticing the stare she had received.
"Well what was the cause of the first physical fight?"
"She took my lollypop." Brooke said looking down at her hands.
"What?" Shigure asked confused.
"You asked what the cause of the first physical fight was. It was in first grade when she stole my lollypop."
"Ok I meant the one here."
"Oh."
"Well I was telling Brooke that she should have just told this guy that she liked him. Then she hit me."
"OH PLEASE! You were almost yelling it out to him! I had a right to hit you. I didn't want him to know and you practically announced it to the hole world!" Brooke said angrily.
"Like everyone didn't know already! You make it so freakishly obvious!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Not!"
"Too!" The two continued to argue for what seemed like for ever then Shigure wondered who the mysterious guy that Brooke was crushing on was.
"Wait! Who was this boy Brooke?"
"None of your business!" Brooke said turning to him sharply.
"I think it is! She likes Kyou. Like hard core liking… like she wants to have his kid!" Blaze said as she did a dance around the room. Brooke jumped to attack her but Shigure held her back as best he could and sat her down.
"You like Kyou?" He asked a bit concerned.
"Yea." Brooke said as she blushed wildly and looked down at her hands again. "But you can't tell him! Ever!"
"I won't I promise. I think you should let him know though it might be good for him."
"Good for him?"
"Never mind that, now I need some answers." He said seriously.
"What?" The girls asked at once.
"Why doesn't anyone like me?" Shigure asked as anime streams of tears strolled down his cheeks.
"Aw don't worry man I like you." Blaze said as she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Shigure's arms turned to noodles before he collapsed to the floor.
"Why do you always do that?" Brooke asked becoming angered gain.
"Do what?" Blaze asked placing her hands on her hips.
"What your doing! I mean you go and lead poor Shigure on and then you go and basically bang Hatsuharu on the roof!"
"I didn't do anything with him!"
"Oh sure! Like I'm going to believe that after everything you've done in all the other worlds!"
"Wait what have you done?" Shigure asked getting into the conversation again.
"Nothing worth hearing." Blaze said as she continued to give Brooke death glares.
"Oh please! You practically sold you're self on the streets in the last world!"
"I did not!"
"Right you only conned guys for all they had. Even when you had a man who was willing to give you anything you wanted and make you happy."
"You know nothing of what I wanted! And you know nothing of what I want now!"
"I know you want what you can never have. And if by some chance you can get it then you move onto something else impossible to reach for. You have impossible goals and make it so that you can never be fully happy with any guy!"
"I don't' want commitment with a guy when I know I'm just going to end up leaving! And it's not like it's my choice to leave or anything!"
"That doesn't mean you can't try!"
"Really? All the relationships that you've had in all of the worlds we've been to, how long did the longest last? 4 months at most? Well I don't want to fall in love with someone just so I can loose them."
"It's better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all." All through the girls conversation there were others watching that they had no idea of.
"Hatsuharu?" Blaze asked looking deep into his eyes. Neither of them pulled from the gaze they shared for moments and then Blaze pulled back as she blushed.
"Yes, I do believe that's one of my more liked lines. If makes sense, or at least I always thought it did."
"You should listen to him Blaze." Rae said stepping through the door.
"You can agree with such an insane saying after what you went though?" Blaze asked staring at Rae.
"What happened?" Shigure asked butting in.
"Rae was deeply in love in the first world that we ever went to. She was with the guy for over 6 months. Brooke and I were pulled through the portal but she remained in the same world for 2 more months. Before the portal opened again to bring her to where we were her boyfriend disappeared. He had sacrificed himself to save his brother and Rae. She was in a deep depression ever since. Though she is a lot better recovered that she was back then and is moving on better now." Brooke said.
"And I would never trade a moment I had with him for anything. I may have gone through depression after he disappeared, but I still have the memories." Rae said as a single tear slid down her cheek. Suddenly she felt a finger wipe the tear away. When she looked up she noticed Shigure next to her. He smiled at her and flicked the tear away.

Brooke and Blaze finally came to a standstill when they realized that they were too good of friends to continue to fight. They agreed to disagree and left it at that. Then about an hour before dinner time there was a knock at the door. Shigure went to get it. The girls were sitting in their rooms when they were called down. As they walked down the steps they saw two new faces sitting at the table.
"Girls! These are my two best friends Hatori and Ayame!" Shigure said as he smiled. The girls shook hands with the strangers and sat down.
"Their also members of the Zodiac so you have no need to be guarded around them."
"Awesome what animals are you?" Rae asked excitedly.
"Oh that's not what matters here! Momiji has been rating wildly about you girls! He's told us about you're powers and that you would love to meet us!"
"Yea it's a pleasure to meet any other members of the family." Brooke said politely.
"So do you guys like live at the main estate?"
"I don't but my Hatori here does!" Ayame said as he placed a hand on Hatori's shoulder. He simply brushed it off. Then Yuki walked into the room and Ayame started ranting on. Shigure explained how they were brothers, though they weren't very close. Then Ayame came to sit back down as did Yuki.
"Yuki wouldn't the girls simply love my shop?" Ayame said as his eyes seemed to glitter with enjoyment.
"Oh I'm sure that they would." Yuki said giving the girls a smile. They all tried their hardest not to melt.
"What kind of store is it?"
"A Clothing store! I make everything with just my assistant! You would all look so cute in the outfits!"
"Sounds great!" They all said in unison.
