Ok, I'm back, that last chapter…woo…shocking huh? When I came up with this story, the murders really stuck throughout all of the changes. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce my co-writer (not really, he's an anime character): Ryuichi Sakuma! He's been…away for a while but he's back and I'm gonna stop babbling and write this chapter!

"I told you dad, I tripped at the shop, that's all!" Yahiko lied. Shigure had noticed her wounds seeing as she came into the house limping. She had tripped many times before so it was easy for Shigure to believe her. Her father sighed, "Fine, I'll believe you," he said. Shigure was standing above her while Yahiko sat on the couch, his arms crossed, frowning.

I hate lying…

"Go get some rest, sweetie, you'll need to rest that leg for tomorrow"

…but I have to,

Yahiko nodded and went to the steps.

No matter how much I despise lying…I have to do it. A little lie never hurt anyone, right? I'll be fine. Just fine!

Yahiko's sleep that night was anything but sleep. She tossed and turned at that old memory. It just never left! She gave up trying to fall asleep and just gazed up at the ceiling (SP?). Yahiko sighed, "What in hell am I going to do?" she asked herself silently, "Akito, you're a bastard. Why won't you just die?" At her last words she shook her head in disgust, "No, I want you to be gone, hell yeah. But I've learned from my mistakes; death isn't something you wish on someone (AN: unless they're Hitler). 'Cause you never know if that person will die or not." Yahiko sighed again and closed her eyes; welcoming the sleep that had finally found her.

At least, I hope I'll be fine…

Yahiko stretched the next morning without being awoken by her father, or anyone for that matter.

"G'morning, Yahiko!" Tohru said as she entered the kitchen, "Oh, Yahiko, you don't need to…" Tohru was cut off by a pan crowding her vision, "No," Yahiko disagreed, "I cook when I choose, and I chose to cook this mornin', now sit down and shut up" Tohru nodded guiltily, though Yahiko could not see, and sat down at the table. She watched in amazement as Yahiko found ingredients and recipes Tohru never even knew existed. "And, done!" Yahiko said as she topped off a plate of pancakes with a cherry and some whipped cream.

"Mmm, what smells like Yahiko's famous cherry-cakes?" Shigure asked as the sent of breakfast brought him into the room. "That would be, cherry-cakes dad" Yahiko answered as Shigure walked over to receive his plate. "I don't know" Shigure said, "You smell quite a bit like them too, Y'know?" He sniffed his daughters' hair playfully, but was soon stopped by a pan hitting him in the back of his head.

OK, done, just to let you now next chapter we'll be entered into Yuki's complex little mind! BYE!
Ryuichi-SAYONARA!
