-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While everything was going on at the airport, Seiji was lazing around the house, doing nothing.

The doorbell rang shrilly throughout the whole house. At first Seiji ignored it, maybe the person would just go away? Eventually, whoever was at the door, annoyed Seiji so much that he decided to go open it.

Standing at the doorstep was his father, Akio, all dirt and scruffy.

"Dad?! What are you doing here?" Akio looked around nervously, he didn't want to be caught be Sesuna.

"Look, I didn't come around just to see you... I happened to be in the neighborhood!" Akio lied throught his teeth.

"Why? GO AWAY!" Seiji tried to shoo him away.

"Wait! I brought you something!" Akio said frantically as he pulled out a pair of Converse sneakers that were relatively new looking and gave them to Seiji.

"Why! Why are you spending your money on something expensive like this!? Use the money for food or something!" Seiji half shouted at Akio as he shoved the sneakers in his hands.

"Keep it!" Akio shoved it back into Seiji's hands as Sesuna's car pulled into the drive way and Sesuna and Meiling came out.

"What are you doing here Akio?" Sesuna asked in a dangerous voice.

"Well I'm here to give those shoes to Seiji." Akio spoke calmly as he pointed to the sneakers in Seiji's hands. "Why hello Meiling. My, you've grown into a lovely young lady, now haven't you?" Akio stated, looking at the fine clothes, that used to be Sakura's, that Meiling was wearing.

Meiling just stared at him, not even uttering a single word.

"Seiji, Meiling, lets go inside!" Sesuna commanded, not bothering with Akio.

Meiling and Sesuna walked in while Seiji shoved the sneakers into Akio's hands roughly.

"Keep your stupid shoes! And don't ever come back!" Seiji shouted as he ran inside and slammed the door.

"B-but... These are a birthday present to you, Seiji." Akio whispered miserably as a lone tear slipped down his cheek. (A/N: awwww...)

Inside the house, Seiji walked to the kitchen in a huff. He opened the refrigerator, took out a carton of milk and started drinking right out of the carton as Sesuna walked in.

"Why did you call your father!? If you wanted a new pair of shoes you could have just asked me!" Sesuna screamed at Seiji.

Seiji continued to drink the milk, seemingly ignoring his own mother.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Seiji asked lazily. "I mean, jeez, you friggin married and had friggin sex with him." Seiji took another gulp of milk, not bothering to look at Sesuna's angry expression.

"Wh-why y-y-you..." Sesuna stumbled on her words, she had never been so furious.

Seiji paid no attention and lazily put the milk carton back into the refrigerator. Just before he closed the door, Sesuna wrenched the carton out of the refrigerator and threw the half drunk carton at Seiji.

"Disgusting! Who would want to drink that after what you did to it!" Sesuna shrieked.

"I want you out of my house!" Sesuna cried as she began pushing, a resisting Seiji, towards the door.

"I don't want to go!" Cried Seiji as he wrenched him self out of Sesuna's grip, so forcefully, that he broke a very large, pretty, expensive, vase.

Silence. Sesuna dropped to her knees to inspect the vase, it had cost her a fortune! While Sesuna was inspecting the vase Sakura crept into the house and stood watching Sesuna.

"What are you doing, standing there!?" Sesuna was totally oblivious to the fact that Sakura wasn't in the house earlier. "Pick this all up!" Sesuna stood up and Sakura bent down and began picking up the shards, cutting her self now and then.

At that moment, Fujitaka walked in and saw Sakura picking up shards of, a once expensive, vase.

"What happened?" Fujitaka was alarmed.

"Oh, its nothing dearest!" Sesuna said in a sugary voice, batting her lashes at Fujitaka seductively. "Sakura was just trying to help me and she accidentally knocked the vase over!" Sesuna lied as though it were the absolute truth as Sakura looked at her, horrified.

'Does she have no shame?' Sakura thought.

"Sakura didn't do it." Seiji spoke. "I broke the vase." He then walked up the stairs and disappeared.

"Seiji! You come down here this instant!" Fujitaka yelled up the stairs. Silence. "That vase was very expensive!" Still no response and Fujitaka sighed.

"Sakura, you can stop cleaning that." Fujitaka sighed again. "Look! You're bleeding! Go clean your wounds." Obeying her father's words, she crept silently up the stairs.

After Sakura cleaned and bandaged her cuts, she crept into Seiji's room. (A/N: It's not the closet.)

"Seiji?" Seiji didn't bother to acknowledge Sakura's existence. "I just wanna thank you for saving me from the blame earlier..."

Seiji didn't even look up as Sakura slowly walked over to look at what he was painting.

"WOW! Ni-chan!!! That looks amazing!!!" Sakura exclaimed seeing a beautiful painting of a garden, but as soon as she spoke those words, Seiji grabbed the painting and crumbled it and threw it on the ground.

Sakura stared at Seiji like he was a madman and slowly bent down and picked up the giant wad of paper that used to be a beautiful drawing and walked away.

Inside her room, she smoothed the painting out as best as she could, put a towel on top of it, and started ironing it to fix the painting. While Sakura was ironing, Meiling walked in with a bundle of laundry.

"Iron this while you're at it!" Meiling sneered and laughed evilly.

Sakura stared miserably at Meiling's back as she walked out of the room casually.

When she finally finished ironing Meiling's laundry and Seiji's painting, Sakura framed the picture, hung it on a wall, and looked admiringly at her handiwork.

While Sakura was admiring it, Seiji looked at it, horrified, and wrenched it of the wall and threw it on the ground, and stomped away.

/Later that night/

Seiji was in his room, about to go to bed, when Sesuna burst in. She grabbed him by the arm and forced him into the closet and locked him inside. Sesuna then went down into the basement and turned off the heat inside the closet.

Within minutes Seiji was almost freezing to death. In a desperate attempt to keep him self-warm, he wrenched of a couple large, elegant, gowns, that had once belonged to Sesuna, and wrapped himself up.

The next day, Sesuna still kept Seiji locked up through out the whole day. Later during dinnertime, Sesuna and Meiling went out to eat and left Sakura alone. Fujitaka was out on a business trip.

In the closet, Seiji sat in a corner, shivering and hungry. Suddenly the door opened and Sakura walked in with a tray of food. Kimchi, rice, seaweed soup, pickles, nothing much, but Sakura could only sneak so much to Seiji.

The smell of hot food enticed Seiji, but he didn't move, did not utter a word.

"Here, I brought you some food! The seaweed soup might be a little too salty, it's my first time making it, and Meiling didn't like it...she said I purposely made it too salty and that I wasn't wishing her good luck on her big math test..." Sakura sweatdropped. "Here."

Sakura placed the tray in Seiji's lap and took a spoon and placed it in his hand. Seiji immediately dropped the spoon and looked at it as though it were some sort of poison.

Sakura looked a Seiji, surprised, but ignored it. She took out a long, white with bit of purple, scarf and wrapped it snugly around Seiji's neck. "I made it myself! It should keep you warmer!"

Sakura smiled at Seiji and walked out and closed the door.

Inside the dark closet, Seiji numbly touched the scarf around his neck, then took all of his rice, kimchi, pickles, and dumped it all in the soup and started to hungrily scoop it into his mouth, not caring about how hot it was.

Then as he kept shoveling food into his hungry mouth, Seiji, a boy who had never been loved, never had anyone try to offer friendship to him, began to weep.

/The next day/

After school, it was raining again and Meiling and her group was standing in the doorway, wondering how to walk to the arcade.

Seiji walked up the steps with two umbrellas and waited at the door next to Meiling's insanely large group.

"Wow!! Big brother did you come all the way here to bring me an umbrella?" Meiling asked loudly and reached for an umbrella, but Seiji pulled it out of her reach.

"Hey! Are you gonna give it to me or what?" Seiji reluctantly gave it to Meiling.

"Well? Are we going to?"

"You go ahead, I wanna stay for a while."

"Ok..." Meiling stared at Seiji oddly and walked away.

Seiji waited for a couple minutes more and Sakura came out.

"Ni-chan! What are you doing here?!"

Seiji shoved the umbrella into Sakura's hands, took her backpack, and ran away in the rain.

"Wait ni-chan! Why don't we share it together!?!" Seiji didn't pay any heed to Sakura and kept running.
