A/N:Hay guys! It's me again! I want to quickly take a moment to thank all of you that reviewed the last chapter. I know the last one wasn't that good, but that was 'cause it was where I had to fit a huge pile of explanation stuff, so it ended up sort of overloaded with info. This chappie won't have much more of an explanation of what's going on, but during the next few, I'll start to explain what the truth is about Kyla (as in Sekura's Mom, not her cousin) and Sekura. Newayz, enjoy!

Chapter Two A week had passed since Sekura had heard her father sing. She had gone over the possibility of telling him that she, too had written a song or two, but had decided against it.

She was currently out shopping with her cousins: Violet Destiny Keira Selene Matthews, Connie (Constance) Lynne Burke, and her best friend, Kyla Marie Maximoff, along with her godmother, "Auntie" Marie Drake. However, Violet, Connie and Kyla had gone to the food court, but Sekura and Marie had already eaten. So, there Sekura and Marie were, browsing the shelves of American Eagle Outfitters.

"Auntie Marie?"

"Yes, Sekura?"

"D-Did you know that my Daddy could sing also?" she asked quietly.

"Yes. Ah did. Yoah father was my best male friend outside of Bobby, although yoah father's first choice for best female friend was always Kyla." She seemed to be reliving the past because she dropped the jeans she had been holding back on the shelf.

"A-And did y-you see.. You know.. W-When my Mom k-killed herself?" She choked on her last few words.

"Yea.. We all did. Meaning o' course, yoah Aunts and Uncles, yoah father, Bobby and Ah, yoah grandparents—All o' them, Logan, Jean, Ororo, Scott, Warren, Betsy, Piotr, Kitty, Wanda, Pietro, Laura, Vicky, Yoko, and Charles. We all saw it and we all ended up in therapy because of it. It was impossible not to need therapy though, after seeing Kyla, who had always reprimanded those who hurt themselves, kill herself. Even those who weren't that close to her, like Scott, and Yoko needed therapy. But, then again, Yoko used to be really close to her.." she said, tears filling her eyes.

Sekura had to look away to prevent herself from crying as well. She gathered the things she was going to purchase and brought them over to the counter. After she had paid for her things, she and Marie left the store with intents of going to the food court and finding Violet, Connie and Kyla.

Unfortunately for Sekura, Marie spotted a Henna Tattoo stand and insisted that they both get one.

"Fine!" Sekura huffed, and they went over to look at the possible symbols and pictures that they could get. Sekura finally settled on the Chinese symbol for courage. Marie smiled over at her.

"Yoah so much like Kyla, that it's not even funny! When she and Ah were teenagers, we got Henna Tattoos, and she got that exact symbol!" Marie exclaimed. She seemed very happy after remembering this, because to her, it was like she had her old best friend back; though she knew, of course, that it wasn't true.

After their Henna Tattoos were complete, the two rushed toward the food court, praying that Violet, Connie and Kyla hadn't left yet. When they arrived there, they found the three girls sitting at a table, arms crossed and with furious looks on their faces.

"What the hell took the two of you so long? We've been waiting here for almost an hour!" Violet fumed.

"Oh, boo-hoo, stop trying to act like yoah mother, Violet! We all know that yoah a hell of a lot nicer than she is. Besides, we were getting' Henna Tattoos. So, unless yah want me to tell yoah father that yah've been treating adults with disrespect, Ah suggest yah shut up." Marie scoffed.

Violet gulped. "Uh.. Okay! C'mon guys! Uh.. Daddy wanted for me to be home by six, and it's already five-thirty!"

They all hurried out and jumped into Marie's silver cobalt sedan; Marie driving, of course, Sekura in the passenger's seat, and Violet, Connie and Kyla in the backseats. When they arrived at Sekura's house to drop her off, they noticed over a dozen other cars; three others in the large driveway, and the remaining nine parked alongside the curb.

'What the hell's going on here? I haven't seen this many cars parked at our house since last year's Christmas party!' Sekura thought to herself.

She stepped out of the car and shut it behind her. Sekura walked up to the front door and pulled out her house-key from her sweater pocket when she realized that the others had followed her. She unlocked the front door and stepped inside. A large group of people was sitting down in her living room.

On the large sofa, were sitting her Aunt Savannah, her Uncle Shawn (Violet's parents), her cousin James (Violet's little brother), and her grandparents, Joseph and Lila.

On the loveseat were her Aunt Jessica, Uncle Andrew, and cousin Tanner. Just beside them on the other sofa were her "Aunt Laura", "Uncle Pietro" (Kyla's Parents), Her Uncle Harry and her Aunt Lori (Connie's parents).

On the floor in between the wall and the large sofa were her Uncle Korey, Aunt Brittany, cousin Brian, and her godfather, "Uncle Bobby". Sitting between the large sofa and the loveseat were her "Uncle Marcus (Jean and Logan's son) (A/N: Yes, I decided to put Jean and Logan together in this fic; I absolutely love the Jean/Logan pairing!), "Uncle Logan", and "Aunt Jean".

Between the loveseat and the other sofa were her "Aunt Ororo", "Uncle Scott", "Aunt Yoko", and "Aunt Vicky". Sitting alongside the sofa and Sekura's favorite armchair were her "Aunt Wanda", "Uncle Remy", "Aunt Brooke", "Aunt Kitty", and "Uncle Piotr".

Finally, between her armchair and the other wall were her "Aunt Betsy", her "Uncle Warren", and her father. Her armchair was vacant.

Everyone seemed to be staring at her as she walked down the hallway.

"Is it already time?" Marie asked from behind her.

Her father nodded.

"Time for what? Why the hell are you all staring at me like that for?" Sekura asked nervously.

"Sit down Luv. If not, you'll just end up sitting there anyways." Betsy murmured.

Sekura did as she was told and looked to her father.

"Daddy, what's going on? Did someone die or something? Why is everyone here?" she asked quickly. She was afraid that something terrible had happened.

"Settle down kid. No one's dead. We're all here 'cause we've gotta tell ya something that we probably shoulda told you from the beginning.. It's about your mom." Logan explained.

"What about Mom? Will someone PLEASE just give me a straightforward answer!" she cried exasperatedly.

"Sekura.. It's about time that we've told you about your mother.. and about who you REALLY are.. Sekura.. You're not quite who you think you are.."

A/N: Hehehehe.. Another cliffie! God I love this! So Newayz, Sekura is about to find out what everyone's been hiding from her about her mom, but just how much of a secret have they been hiding? Tune in next time to find out!.. Oh my God, I just sounded like someone off of YTV talking about a two-part episode of a cartoon or something! Newayz, plz review! Your reviews are what keep me going!

Luve, Jessica
