"I only lied to the ones I loved to protect them. I didn't want them to sink in to deep, because if they did, they would hate me."

"So you threw her lighter in he lake yesterday?" Hatori asked sitting on the porch next to Lira

"Yeah…it was hard thing to do but I can't keep holding onto the past thinking she'll just come back to us." Lira said looking at Hatori

"There was nothing you could do Lira. You were only a child back then. It's not your fault that our mother drowned in the lake." Hatori took out a cigarette and lit it "I've had my share of lies toy you know. I can understand why you would lie to Tohru about our mother running out on us but why do it? Do you really think she would hate you?"

"Yes, I thought Tohru would hate me if she knew I lied to her and for lying to her I feel so pathetic"

"I lied to you Lira. You look nothing like our mother. You don't have carry a burden that doesn't have anything to do with you. Alright?"

Lira nodded and sighed

"You know being out here at the Summer Sohma house for golden week gives me some kind of peace."

" I'm going inside the house okay?" He kissed her on the forehead and got up and went into the house

"Yo, Lira." Said Kyo leaning on the doorframe.

"Oh, hello Kyo." She said smiling at him

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" lira nodded and Kyo sat beside her. "You know after golden week when we go back home I was wondering if we could go out."

Lira had a puzzle look on his face and Kyo sighed

"I want to take you out…like just hang out together, just the two of us."

"OH, I'd love to! What a great idea Kyo."

"Oh Lira, Kyo there you are." Said Tohru coming out of the house. "Lira is everything okay?"

"Y-Yes, Tohru may I have a word. Kyo I must speak to Tohru."

Kyo got up and left and Tohru sat beside her.

"Tohru, do you hate me?"

"No, of course not! Lira, if there's ever anything wrong you know you can always tell me."

"I know…I just wanted to protect you."

"Protect me? From what?"

"From me…I didn't want you to hate me. So I pushed you away…" Lira noticed tears stream down Tohru's face "I-I'm sorry did I make you cry? I'm so sorry."

"Lira, I could never hate you. No matter what you did or what will happen. I could never hate you. Lira I want you to be able to tell me everything about you." Tohru wiped her face and continued, " I want you to be able to trust me and not shut me out. I'm not afraid to know the truth. Just please let me in. Don't push me away, Lira. I want to be the one who can always be there for you."

"I'm glad." Lira thought pulling Tohru towards her. "That she forgives me and trusts me." Lira wrapped her arms around Tohru and cried on her shoulder's didn't mean to push her away. I want to let her into my heart. I want to let everyone in. I won't shut anyone out."
