Here Comes the Storm

chapter 4: temporary home

Tsunami P.O.V

Not even a week after I had being released from the hospital, I was pulled from class by a lady that I had never seen before. She lead me out to a black car where my brothers were waiting for us. She shoved me into the crowed back seat with my older brothers just as Kaedo and the guys break through the crowed to see me be taken away. I waved to him from the back window, before the woman yelled at me to sit down and be quite. I was not sure what was going on until she dragged me to a nice three story house out in the middle of no where, after dropping my brothers off at different houses. Turned out that our real dad had a criminal record, of child abuse and attempted murder. But he also never locked any of us up. I don't know what really happened when I eight for all I remember was coming to see Tomoe when he was super sick and had stopped taking care of himself, I never want to see either of my brother like that again.

Was these like the stories the girls told when we had late night training before meets and tourments. I shortly found out that not all foster families were good people that want to give children in very bad situations a second chance. I had been with this family for two months, fourteen days, twelve hours, forty-five minutes and three seconds. The first night my new parents throw out everything I had in the big black trash bag that had been taken from my real parent's home. The only thing that I was able to save was Mr. Clingly, who I had hide in my school bag which was locked up in the first floor closet. Me I was locked up in the attic, nursing some painful injuries that my parents had given to me as punishment for something stupid.

I am given food once every second week, and water while I was given that every week until they found me using it to washing out one of the many cuts that they had caused. Now I had nothing to drink and as it was it is getting harder and harder to stay awake but I know all to well not to fall asleep because nasty things happen when I do and most of the time I end up in even more pain than when I went to sleep. My foster father was worst than my real dad. He at lease never locked me in a dark musty room with barely any food or water. They also got around me going to school by me being distraught and nearly hurting myself.

In truth they were only keeping me barely alive to get the money to take care of me from the federal government. No one even come to check up on me, but that's not something new, I was told so many times by people that they would see me later, but every time it was just a great big lie. I had been sent off too many of my mother's relatives because no one wanted me, I had a hard time with trusting people especially anyone retaliated to my mother. If it wasn't for Dr. Kane I might never had remember what it was like to have someone that actually cared for me. Another thing these people did was take me phone and banned me from ever telling anyone what goes on here, and if I did than I won't live long enough to survival a trial. But any ways today was even hotter than it normal got in the attic. That and everything was spinning, black spots were dancing in front of my eyes; which made my dizziness worst. I wanted to tell who every was banging at the door to stop but my voice had stopped working some time ago. I tried to make some noise to see if anyone would hear me.

My skin felt like it was on fire and I couldn't breath. At first I thought it was due to the lack of water and food, until a person dressed in a yellow jump suit kicked down the door and picked me up. I could hear people screaming when I saw someone trying to put the fire on the second floor out. Apparently my new father had tried to kill me and his ex wife. His ex wife's body was burnt to a crisp. But when we got to the first floor, paramedics tried to take me away from the person that was holding me. But I didn't feel safe going anywhere with them. That and I wanted my monkey and big brothers.

"Hey Rei over here, I think this might be her belongings." Another person in yellow said holding up my fire proof back pack. But the person holding me didn't stop until we were out of the house. It was than that he put me down on the back of a fire truck.

"Hello little one, can you tell me how long you have been in that attic?" the guy that had been holding me asked. I coughed a few times before spiting out some blood.

"2 months...14 days...45 minutes." I whispered softly, before coughing a few more times. My throat was really tender, and I could feel that something was caught in it. Maybe it was that blood clot that had been stuck there for the last two months. I coughed again trying to force the clot out of my throat, only for it to get worst. The fire fighter that had carried me out side of the house handed me a plastic cup of water.

"Take slow sips, we don't need you choking anymore." the fire fighter said, sitting next to me on the back of the fire truck. The water actually made my throat hurt a lot more because it washed out the cuts and sores throughout my mouth and throat.

"Hey little one can you tell us your name." another fire fighter asked coming over to us while holding my back pack. I reached for the bag so that I could have my monkey. And show them my id from school, although it had my mother's maiden name on it for my last name. But the one holding it pulled back not used to someone trying to take their belongs back after a fire.

"Toki give the girl her bag." the one sitting next to me said, rubbing my back as I started to whimper. The man holding my bag handed it to me but the bag didn't stay in my hands for long, seeing as I just wanted my monkey and my school ID. After yelling from the paramedics and the chief of the fire department, the men sitting next to me finally let me go with the paramedics. I actually fell a sleep on our way to the hospital.

Tomoe P.O.V

When I got to the hospital Reiji and the rest of Saisei stride team were waiting for any news about Tsunami. When the paramedics found her, while let's just say that she had almost died. The man who were fostering her were arrested in front of his family for child abuse, attempted murder, murder, and abandonment of a minor. Reiji was the first to be called because the paramedics had his number on file if they couldn't reach me or Riku, they know that we trusted Reiji after what happened last time.

"Reiji please tell me what happened?" Kaedo was asking from the look of it he had tears running down his face and he hadn't slept well since my sister had left.

"Kaedo I don't know anything, all I know is that Tsunami is in crucial condition. I don't know why you here to begin with seeing as the coach wants you to rest especial because you have been getting lazy with practice." Reiji said rubbing at his forehead. I took this as a good time to knock some sense into the green haired boy's head, seeing as my sister could not. Out of the three of us she was always more aware than other kids her age, and if she could see her friend now she would not be happy.

"Kaedo come with me. Reiji if they come out call me on my phone." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. Now that I was closer I could tell that he wasn't at the top of his game. We went out to the court yard, so that the others didn't hear what I was about to say to Kaedo. It was the same thing that Tsunami screamed at me when I go to the point of not being able to keep going.

"Kaedo sit down. Now what I am about to tell you is the same thing that stopped me from giving up on living. No one wants to see you where I was man and if my sister was here she would kick your butt seven ways to Sunday. It was actually Tsunami that told me this; I don't understand what's going on in that head of yours but I don't like it. What happened to the person that cared enough to pick up a strange girls monkey and help her when he know nothing about her." I said leaning against a post while looking at Kaedo who was sitting on the bench right next to said post. He was shaking so much that I was worried he might have a break down, but than again maybe that is what he needs.

"She took the sun with her when they took her away." Kaedo said looking at his hands. I could understand that seeing as it was the same thing I said after making my little sister run off crying. It was Riku that got her to clam down that day but for the rest of that week she didn't say a word to me until I couldn't take it anymore and finally asked if I could talk with her alone.

"I said the same thing, to our god mother after making Tommy run off crying because I couldn't keep my damned mouth shut and said some very hurtful things to her. I didn't know that for the first three years she was passed in between several different family members on our mother's side. The worst been our grandparents who actually turned her into a slave. She wouldn't talk to me for the next five days, but you know what she said when I finally got to talk with her alone. She said that she only wanted the big brother that used to drive the nightmare away. When I heard that it reminded me that I couldn't let my self fall apart, for I had two younger siblings that needed me." I said sitting next to him on the bench. Now that I think about it this was the same spot that my life turned around for the better. The reason why I know that was because my sister had placed some rocks into the soil near a tree, to form the letter T so that it could be a reminder that I wasn't alone. I looked over at him only to see a pure look of shock.

"What happened?" He asked looking for some way he could get better.

"I got better. I started talking with doctors, eating my meals, going to therapy to help rebuild all of muscles that I had screwed over. At this point I couldn't even walk. But the biggest thing that I did was not push my family and friends away from me. Now Kaedo I need you to tell me what you have been doing to your self?" I said getting down in front of him, making him look me right in the eyes.

"I've been skipping meals and working through out the night on classwork and trying to get a hold of your sister. I've written so many letters trying to find her but nothing. I've also been having a hard time falling and staying asleep." He said before my phone went off, I looked at the screen before standing up and moving to go see my little sister. Kaedo how ever didn't so much as move a muscle from his seat.

"Hey Tomoe, how can I fix this screw up?" Kaedo asked stopping me in my foot steps.

"Man up to what you did and ask for help. And don't try hiding it from Tommy she can sniff out a lie in seconds. I learn that the hard way when I was having hard times with my treatment plan. But if you want to talk with someone I can give you our godmother's number. " I said which got him moving pretty fast, but it didn't last long because he quickly got out of breath and his color started fading worst than before. I mean he natural has pale skin but this was worst than Tsunami when she was two year old and it was her first time out in the sun; she ended up with a massive sunburn.

"Hey Kaedo are you okay?" Reiji asked coming over to us. One look at Kaedo and I notice something I wish; I hadn't. The wrist of his long sleeve was turning red as if blood was seeping through the fabric. I quickly rolled up his sleeve and saw that some major cuts had broken open. They didn't look to be self done.

"Kaedo, tell me who did this to you?" I asked in a soft voice trying not to scary him, knowing that this was not something to take lightly. Unfortanaly he just started shaking his head lips pushed tight together. It was than that I felt that tiny hand on mine all over again. I know how to handle this but first I needed to get Kaedo to calm down.

"Kaedo this happened to me too. You see I couldn't handle stress that well when I was seven, do you know who helped me? It was my three year old little sister Tsunami, you see I was babysitting her and Riku while our parents were gone for the week. It was really hard because I had to miss school that whole week and it was test week. But I had been doing it for three years, but no one ever notice that a four year old was cutting up his own leg because I was not only taking care of a two year old but also a new born. But one night while Riku and Tsunami were sleeping I thought about ending it, it was Tommy that found me and she actually told me that she would help if I needed it. And it worked for the next year until our mom dragged a screaming four year old off in the middle of the night. " I said pulling up my pant leg, to show him my scares. If that didn't get him to open up it was Reiji wrapping Kaedo in a bear hug that finally broke through that boy's thick head.

"Some of the boys in my year like to pick on me, because I am in honor classes with Tsunami. But when I told them that I wouldn't do their homework for them. They dragged me behind the gym and started to beat me up until one of them pulled out a knife and started to cut up my arms. At first it was light but after some time they kept doing it until they nearly got caught." Kaedo said while a nurse looked over the cuts. A doctor had been paged and at first they wouldn't let us near him until I told him what happened to myself. They at first wanted to put him in the Phyd ward but when he told us what happened, I pushed for in patient care and for once they listen to me. They just so happen to put him in the same room as my little sister. Who was sitting up in bed coloring in let another coloring book that Riyuki more than likely gave to her.

"Hey Tommy what are you doing?" Reiji asked sitting in a chair next to her bed. Tsunami held up one figure before picking up a chalk board and writing something. I moved closer to read what she had written when I caught sight of her words. 'Don't call me Tommy, only my brothers and fans have the right to do that. I am currently coloring in a blank notebook that Riku brought for me. And before you ask I can't talk because my voice was torn up from all the screaming I did.' The way she had written it was something to laugh at but than again maybe not. And she was right only me and her fans call her Tommy, and she rarely like it when others call her that.

"Man that was hard. Okay Tommy let me take a look at your throat." Riyuki said coming out of nowhere. If I wasn't used to him doing that to me; I would of jumped nearly two feet in the air just like Reiji. But something didn't feel right, it felt like Tsunami was hiding something from me, it was rare for her to do that with me and I had this feeling she wasn't the only one that was hiding something from me. Riyuki also looked like he was under a lot of stress, the only time I had seen him like this was when Tsunami was still a little kid and our real mother's new boyfriend's car nearly ran her over.

"Riyuki can I talk to you out in the hallway for a few minutes?" I asked using the same voice I used to get Riku to do his homework. The look on Riku's and Riyuki's faces was something to laugh about but right now I was to worried about something being wrong with my little monkey. I headed out to hallway and headed to the break room so that we could have some private time to talk. Riyuki knowing me all to well, had handed me the keys sometime ago, and his laptop was waiting with the other two on video chat.

"Hey Tomoe, so you also want to find out what happened to our sweet Tommy." Richard said pushing his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose. Ryan was typing way on his computer and didn't look to be paying attention, to us.

"Tomoe I'm just doing what I do best and that is looking for loopholes in your real mother's final will and testament. By the way where is our brother Riyuki?" Ryan said finally looking up from his keyboard. I held up one finger as if to tell them to wait and he would be here in a few minutes, but it didn't even take that long for as soon as I put the finger up he walked into the room and locked the door.

"Okay this confess has been called to order. Ryan stop doing work and pay attention. Richard did you get my message early and have you looked into it? Tomoe here have some tea this is going to be a long night." Riyuki said taking complete control of everything. Ryan closed his other computer and Richard opened some of his books. I took a sip from the mug of strong black tea that Riyuki had put in front of me.

"Okay first Tsunami can't speak again from her body having to shut down systems so that it could keep her living. Second she is massively dehydrated and under feed. Third and final thing is the massive burn marks on her right arm. If a neighbor hadn't called when they notice the house was on fire she wouldn't be here. The fire fighters got there just in time to save her. Now onto the mental injuries from the looks of it she was beaten and blamed for things happening, and that might also have something with why she won't talk. Richard that's where you come in, but first thing I want to know is what I sent you what she has?" Riyuki said taking a seat.

"I won't know until I actually talk with her. Or watch how she inter act with people. Tomoe we think that Tommy might have PTSD." Richard said taking his glasses off. I was over come with guilt that I nearly broke the mug in my hands. In other words I nearly dropped the mug knowing that it was my fault that my sister had gone to that horrible place. Not only did my actions hurt Kaedo but also Tsunami. Every thing was spinning and it was getting harder to breath when I felt something being pushed into my hand and held up to my mouth. I started to breath into the item which turned out to be a paper bag. Riyuki was kneeling in front of me and was talking to me.

"Tomoe can you hear me?" Riyuki asked touching me hand. I pulled it away from him out of habit. I nodded my head before taking another sip of tea, not trusting my voice or throat to do their jobs. I am surprised that Riyuki didn't call for back up knowing how violent I can get during a panic attack. But than again he had a paper bag waiting incase something happened.

"Tomoe we won't continue until I get vocal conformation from you." Riyuki said taking a sip from his mug which must likely held coffee.

"I'm fine." I said before taking another sip of my tea. I know that tea often helped to clam me down after a panic attack. But right now I felt like it couldn't stop even this amount of guilt. He took my wrist and started taking my pulse but when someone knocked at the door, he stopped only to go check who it was. Turns out that it was Dr. Sophie Kane, the some woman that saved Tsunami the first time until our mom got her life under control for the last few months before dying with Tsunami in the room with her.

"I see everyone started the health confess with out me. Hi Tomoe, how are you honey?" Dr Kane said pulling me into a hug. How she know what to do to get me to clam down with something as simple as a hug was be on me. It might of also been the thing I needed to push me over the edge until I started balling out my eyes. It took over thirty minutes to get me to clam down, but once they did I was handed a new mug of herbal tea. Something the Dr Kane used to give Tsunami when she had a bad night or a bad day at school.

"Thanks" I said in a hoarse voice. I was now physical, mental, and emotional drained. It didn't help that three nurse had come to see what had happened before Riyuki shooed them away and relocked the break room door.

"Okay now that Tomoe is through with his break down which in many cases is understandable but right now Tommy needs all of us to be strong. But that doesn't mean take everything on to your shoulders Tomoe because we don't need you having another melt down like six years ago." Richard said pushing his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose.

"Agree." Ryan and Riyuki said at the same time. I rolled my eyes, and than went back to the confess from before my melt down.

"So Tsunami might have PTSD, that doesn't surprise me with everything she's been through in the last fourteen years. Dr Kane didn't you diagnosis two thirds of us with PTSD when Tsunami was five years old?" I said push my self up on shake legs trying my hardest to get some form of movement back into my lower body.

"Yes, both you and Tommy were diagnosis with PTSD. And it is highly understandable with everything that happens to the both of you." Our godmother said sitting down on the other side of Riyuki. As they watch me pace the length of the room so that I could get my nerves working properly again, but after the fifth time of me falling on my backside Riyuki made me sit back down. Not that it did much good seeing as I couldn't keep my self still for much longer the tea was not helping me to clam down. Not that it was any different from every other time I had herbal tea. The fact that some of the herbs in the bend always make me a little to hyper for some people to handle. There was another knock at the door which turned out to be Reiji and Riku. Riku looked like he was about to yell at me until he notice my leg twitching uncontrollable.

"Okay Sophie I thought we agreed never to give Tomoe herbal tea ever again?" Riku asked sitting at the table. Reiji just stood by the wall to give us some room, not that he had too. After all everyone was grateful to Reiji for saving Tsunami's life.

"So Tomoe, Riku what's the plan now that Tommy might have to come back to the UK. You two might be old enough to live on your own but Tsunami, even with you two it wouldn't be enough. She needed someone there 24/7, not to add that she is on medication that has to be taken on a regular schedule. That reminds me Riyuki did she take any when she was with those people?" Richard said writing something down on a note pad. Riyuki shock his head, to Richard's question. It was around this time that Sophie said something that no one was expecting. It was like Sophie had spoke with Tsunami before joining the confess.

"Actually boys I decide to move back to Japan. I really don't want to spilt them up again. And before you say anything, think how Tsunami would feel if we took her away from her real brothers all over again." She said crossing her arms the same way that Tsunami would when she didn't like the way she was been treated. I was about to say something when Riyuki's pager started going off.

"Shit." Riyuki said before running out of the door. Taking his cue I ran out of the room myself only to get stopped by some of the orderly that were waiting outside of Tsunami's room. I had to watch as my little sister fight for her life all over again. But the cries of pain and fear hurt my heart each time they slipped past her dry lips. But when she tried pulling the needle giving her liquid out of her arm, I couldn't take it anymore and ran away near tears. I ran to the courtyard before shakily taking a breath and breaking down near our favorite tree. When I had been sick and not wanting to eat anything some of the nurses would let me come out here just to get a change in pace. It was where I had seen my sister for the first time in four years, and the last place. Most people think I am crazy for thinking the best place to relax is under a sakura tree.

"I figure this is where you would be." Riyuki said after half an hour of me just sitting under the tree, sure Riku and Reiji had tried calling my phone but I just needed time to be alone. I just couldn't get Tsunami's screams out of my head, I felt like I have heard them before I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Riyuki I need to know right now did our dad ever put Tsunami in a situation that she ever had to scream like that. Why is my head so foggy when ever I try to remember what he did to us before mom took Tsunami away." I said curling in on my self. I felt an arm wrap around me, trying to pull me out of my ball, but I couldn't let it get to me. I closed my eyes before feeling a small hand take mine all over again.

"Tomoe...please...Onii-chan..." Tsunami said in a very hoarse voice. I open my eyes only to see my little sister sitting next to me on my other side. I looked at her confessed than very proud that she had talked to me first. I looked up to see Riku and everyone else looking worried.

"She just didn't want to stay in her bed, when Riyuki told us that you were out at your tree. Some times I wish she would listen to the nurses and not push her self, but than again she was always the best at getting into that thick head of your Tomoe." Riku said sitting down next to Tsunami, who had started coughing as if her throat hurt. She had most likely strained her throat when it wasn't ready for her to use it right now. I slowly leaned over and started rubbing the bottom of her neck as a way to get what ever was hurting her to the point of tears, out of her throat. Turns out that it was a small blood clot that had broken apart on the inside of her mouth and had gotten stuck in her throat. She just never told anyone about it, when she was still at school and could talk.

"You are one silly little monkey, but you're my little monkey." I said running my hand through her hair. Other than Riyuki worrying because Tsunami had coughed up a good amount of blood, it was a normal day for our messed up family. Or that was until someone started screaming our names. I looked up only to see our real father heading this way and he didn't look happy at all.

I got up and stood in front of my siblings, or that was until he started attacking me, but I know that I could handle a lot of the abuse if it meant that my younger siblings would be safe. Or that was until he punched me in the gut and I fell to the ground where he started to kick me were ever he could find open skin. I felt a light hand take mine before hearing a string of English snag coming out of my sister's mouth. I looked over at our father only to see Riku and Riyuki holding the mad hatter version of my little monkey swearing and almost every language she just so happen to know. Our father on the other hand was on the ground bleeding in several places.

"Tommy clam down little one." Riyuki said for the fifth time before Tsunami started to get tried and was yawning again. Reiji helped me up once the guards had been called on our father. Sophie came over with my normal doctor to take a look at me. My abdomen was hurting really bad and although I didn't want to tell him that it hurt, my little sister had other plans.

"Daddy had been attacking Tomoe mainly in the stomach." Tsunami said from her spot on Reiji's back. Riku was pushing the wheel chair that held Kaedo. Who was almost asleep like my monkey. I watched her rub at her eyes before seeing her lay her head down on Reiji's shoulder. After some time watching her, we went a different way than the others and I know than that I was heading for hell in a hand basket. Not that I would every tell anyone this. But Sophie know that I didn't like it when I had people looking me over, when they see the scars it only ends up with me losing my patience.

"Okay Tomoe I know where your father hit you, thanks to your little sister. But what I want to know is how are you feeling since this all started. What Dr. Kane told me, that you have been meeting all of your goals but what I want to know is did anyone else attacked you. These bruise don't look to have been made during this most recent beating. You want to tell me what happened." the doctor asked after looking me over.

"I been passed in between so many foster families that god only knows how old some of these bruising are. Sure non of the families I was place with were as bad as Tsunami's; the caseworker didn't even bother check up on her but she did me and Riku; it's not fair. She is younger than the both of us and that woman left her there with known abuser." I screamed pulling my shirt back on. My doctor probably wasn't the best person to let me anger out on. But I just couldn't hold it in any longer, sure he might have been trying to help me but like my sister I have a very short temper when it comes to people in general, doctors are at the top of my list right behind parents of people not to trust EVER.

"I under stand how you feel Tomoe but sometimes those bruises could lead to something far worst than normal every day fights. If I remember once you didn't even want me touching you, and no matter how hard the nurses tried you wouldn't have it. But do you remember what I told you, back than?" He said sitting down next to me on the exam table. He had done the same thing when I had first meet him too. He had all the nurses leave the exam room and sat with me and we just talked.

"You told me that you had the same life as I did. And that it was normal for me to be scared of people for the rest of my life. But there are people out there for me that I can trust and you are one." I said reciting it the same way I had when I was a child.

"And after that day your little sister came and you started to get better but sometimes it takes more than a little period of time. It might take years before you final feel like you're all there again, and the same is with your sister and brother. Oh don't think I haven't notice the bruises that he's been hiding all day from you and everyone else. He also doesn't like talking to the doctors or the nurses, and that seems to be a trend with you Yagami siblings. You know the only person that Tsunami will actually talk to is Riyuki and he just a nurse here that works well with abused children." the doctor said sliding off of the table. I tried to follow before watching him grab a pair of crutches from the nurse closet.

"Okay let me see it Tomoe, and don't try hiding the fact that you can't put weight on your left ankle." he said pulling his chair over so that he can take a look at my ankle. How he knew that I couldn't put weight on my ankle, was be on me. I let him take my shoe off and look away not wanting to see how bad it actually was, thanks to my neglectful nature.

"You took good care of this Tomoe. It could be a lot worst if you hadn't wrapped it. It's just sprained, I recommend staying off of it for three to five weeks, and no matter what NO Stride." the doctor said taking out a pen and writing something down. He handed it to Sophie when we left the exam room. She was sitting in a couple of chairs with Kaedo and Tsunami on either side of her. Tsunami was sleeping peaceful, Kaedo on the other hand was wide awake and looked really scared, his hands were shaking.

"Hey Kaedo what's the matter?" I asked sitting next to him. He tried to say something, but it was like his voice wouldn't work anymore. I looked at him before taking his hand and giving it a firm yet gentle squeeze. He stopped shaking for the most part, but I could tell that something was still bothering him.

"Hey Sophie do you mind give us a few minutes alone?" I asked moving my ankle around so that I wasn't sitting on it.

"Sure Honey, I got to get your sister to bed anyways seeing as she is znocked out." Sophie said before picking the sleeping 14 year old up.

"God she as light as ever. When will she ever start eating like a normal 14 year old athlete." Sophie said which got not only me to crack up but also Kaedo.

"Yeah right this is Tommy you are talking about she will never be able to gain any more weight than where she is at. And the girl eats as much as Riku. Both me and Riku weight more than 50kg." I said standing up with the help of the crutches for the most part.

"How much does Tsunami weigh?" Kaedo asked as a nurse pushed his wheel chair to the room.

"Um I think the last time she told me she weighed 30kg, but than again that was about two years ago I think." I said pushing the door open with the right crutch. Riku was sleeping and Reiji was talking on his phone, and he didn't sound that happy.

"I understand that you don't like it but someone was bulling him and I want them found now. I don't like it either but sometimes we have to give up what we think is right for the safety of others. Thank you father for the help, in finding out who hurt not only my friends but also who let that foul man out of Jail." Reiji said before hanging up his phone. If I didn't know him as well as I do than I would say he was older than he gives off. But I know it was just the amount of stress he was under the same thing happened to me when I was younger.

"You know Reiji if I didn't have the same condition I would wonder what had cause the stress being placed on you. But I know that you are taking on more than you can handle and is wearing you life down to the bone, sometimes I wonder if we will both end up in early graves." I said limping into the room.

"Mr. Tomoe Yagami the doctor wish to keep you and your brother he for health reasons so you two will not be going to a new foster home just yet." the same social worker as before said coming into the room, at first she had a fake smile on her face before she notice Tsunami sitting up in bed rubbing her eyes, trying to fight off sleep which she dearly needed.

"Madam I believe you are not to talk to my godchildren with out your supervisor around to make sure you are doing your job right. You not only put my Tommy's life in harm but also my youngest boys. I will not stand by and let you rip this children from my loving arms." Sophie said in her anger tone which when most people hear that it means run for your life, because you're doomed. I sat next to Tsunami who put her head on my shoulder before softly dazing off to dream world.

"I agree with my guardian who just so happen to be a former police officer and a damned good one at that. You put my sister and brother in homes with known abuser, but you came not even an hour after our father somehow got out of jail and came here to attack me and my siblings. We have proof that you did place us with abuser so that they would break us, but no matter how hard you try no one will ever break the three of us." I said standing without my crutches and a thud from my sister who was out like a log, she didn't even wake up when she hit the floor.

"That's Tommy for you." Ryan said coming into the room, it was so strange seeing him in real life. I only know him through Riyuki and Tsunami. I shake my head before bending down and picking the worlds lightest fourteen year old. I was starting to see why Sophie was always worried about my sister's weight.

"Mum, I have here the original will written by your best friend and my godmother Mickey Emily Hill, stating that her first husband had already passed from this world leaving her and her three children. Mickey soon remarried the children uncle and that is when all hell broke lose. Aunt Mickey was killed and replace with the children's aunt, who in turn died last month from lung cancer. Their aunt and uncle were just after the hill family money that is to be spilt between her three children. And as stated should anything happen to Mickey the children are to be giving to their god mother one Dr. Sophie Isabella Kane. When shown in court today the judge wanted to honor a mother's wish for her beloved children." Ryan read word for word.

After hearing all of this my head started throbbing so bad that I blacked out. When I passed out, it was like a door was unlocked and the good memories that I had with my real parents came back to me. When I first held Riku and Tsunami, the day that Tommy came home from the NICU. Riku's first steps his first words. And the love that our real parents gave to all of us. There had never been any fighting or screaming. They never hit us, or tried to kill us. When I came to my head was pounding and felt like someone had taken a hammer to it.

"Hey Tomoe how are you feeling?" Sophie asked coming into my line of view.

"Like my head was bashed in by my little sister when she is in mad hatter mode and has a hammer on her." I said turning my head towards her, it was not my best move seeing as I couldn't even move my head, to me it felt like I was back in that damned neck brace. When I tried to sit up I couldn't move my body.

"While similar to that, you had another seizure honey. To keep you from putting any more strain on your body the doctors had to tie you down, and put that nasty thing on your neck again, and I know you don't like it very much but they said it would help with the pain." Sophie said hitting the page button. The next thing I know; there is a doctor shining a light in my eyes having me follow it, and it wasn't my normal doctor. He was standing at the door holding a clip broad and watching as this new doctor took care of me.

"Will you please stop moving Mr. Yagami, your body can not handle any more stress. If your sister hadn't said no the you have brain surgery than maybe you would already be one the road to recovery." this new doctor said.

"She is my voice should I ever go into a coma after one of my seizure, by law you can not go against what she says. Now get out you are not my doctor." I said fighting him, when he said that he wanted to do a brain surgery.

"Okay Dr. Morgan, Tomoe has spoken and he does not like it when people judge his sister or his family. Tomoe has had a really hard time, but he has over come a lot of pain and difficulty. And take that damned thing off of him." Dr. Fujio said stepping in so that I don't strain my body. The new doctor left the room in a hurry and did not look pleased that I had given my sister control should anything happen to me. All I have to say is girl mature faster than boys and she has more knowledge when it comes to health relative matters. After all through out her life she lived in hospitals trying to just keep her a live, due to our aunt and uncle and not our parents.

"Tomoe!" I heard an exacted Tsunami yell as she jumped onto the bed and me.

"Tsunami, no jumping onto your brother." Reiji said chasing after her. I could tell that he was out of breath meaning that my little sister was getting better. But she was still in hospital cloths and there were a lump of bandages on her right arm and up to her neck. But the most I could see was the bright smile on her face as she sit there waiting for Reiji to start complaining of my sister lack of respect for other.

"Tsunami, you could of..." Reiji started but I cut him off.

"Save your breath Reiji, I have been leaching her since she was four and still was sucking on her thumb. I have yet to get her to listen to me. I think the only on she will listen to is... Ryan? or Riyuki?" I said before looking at my sister.

"Neither, I won't listen to them either, after all Onii-chan you did name me after a wild storm that can wipe away whole villages." Tsunami said crossing her legs over each other. It was than that I notice more of those bandages on her right leg, was more skin burnt than what I was told.

"For someone that have 30% of your body burnt you can sure move around like normal. No starch that she has more energy than normal usually when I get here she about to take a nap." Riku said also out of breath. It was than that Riyuki poked his head into the room. I looked at him, only to get the look of fear.

"Tsunami how much coffee did Riyuki give you?" I asked not taking my eyes of the man in question.

"Half of a cup." She said with something she hasn't had in a very long time. The only smile that showed no fear, anger, hated, sadness, or regret. This is also why my sister is not to have coffee, she will literary be bouncing off of the walls. The girl however needs something to get her going in the morning, which is why I give her juice.

"Riyuki" three voices yelled at him. I on the other hand was trying to get my hyper silly monkey under control, in other words the coffee was wearing off and now she wanted to take a good long nap. So as I snuggled down with Tommy to my side, Riyuki was getting his butt chewed out but not one but three worried people. I was going to let the others handle things while I recover my energy. So with my silly little monkey next to me already a sleep, I let my self fall back to sleep with her. Knowing now the full truth of our past and the temporary homes we had over the years
