Here Comes the Storm

chapter 5: home
Tomoe's P.O.V
After four long weeks of being in the hospital, Dr. Fujio said that both me and Tsunami could go home, but we were put on bed rest for the next fourteen days. Not that it would work but seeing as we were going to be living with Sophie for now on made things a lot easier on all three of us. I leaned back on my new bed with my earbuds in trying my hardest to not jump into the fight Riku and Tsunami were having. Tsunami had been working in the kitchen with her music playing, she left for only five minutes to bring me something to drink for my medicine, when she got back her phone was gone along with her new earbuds.
"Will you two stop this petty argument?" Sophie asked coming out of her room across the hall from mine. They ended up not hearing her until I got up and wobbled out there to make them listen. I smacked both of them up side their heads before looking on the floor around where Tsunami had been working. I found it near Lavi the cat.
"I found our thief, it was the cat." I said before wobbling back to my room with the cat in hand. It was my sister that named the cat, I think everyone was expecting her to name it with a common name but no she came up with a strange name she got from one of her favorite anime (A/N: I don't own D. Grey -man) but now that I think about it Tsunami is a strange name for a girl. I got back into my relaxed position with Lavi on my lap.
The only people that Lavi liked were me and Tsunami but that was fine with us. I know what's Lavi real mission was and it wasn't just for mouse, it was a way so me and Tsunami could get better; seeing as we couldn't really trust people but animals that was a different story. Tsunami had always loved animals, at one point she said that she wanted to be a vet and everyone in our family believed that she could do it. So anyways me and Lavi were just laying on my bed upside down but no big deal until Sophie came in and looked at me. I looked at her while she shook her head amused.
"What, it is literally my favorite position. You can ask the guys when they get here later, they see me do this all the time. Tommy does it too, it's why her bed is always made upside down. She likes being able to see who is entering her room." I said sitting up with Lavi still in my lap.
"I know, I asked Tsunami when she was twelve and she told me that it made her feel safe to the point that she didn't have nightmares because it reminded her of you Tomoe." Sophie said sitting next to me on the bed. I'm happy that my sister had picked up on better coping techniques than what I had. But I still worry that something isn't right with Tommy, she usual smile was gone and she didn't want to talk with anyone right now. I actually had to send Reiji and Kaedo away yesterday because she didn't want to see them. At night I would go see how she was doing with the night mares but most of the time I just hear something about being dirty and although I can understand some things might make her feel like she weak and pathetic but I have never heard my little monkey call herself dirty.
"Sophie what's really going on with Tsunami? She didn't even want to see Reiji and Kaedo yesterday, and when I go to check up on her before I can even open the door all I hear is Tsunami calling herself dirty. I'm worried and although I know she would never tell me until she was ready but I need to know so I can find out what I can do to help her; what to say and what not to say. I just want her to..." I was asking when I heard Tsunami scream along with something breaking. Now I know I'm not to be running but when I heard a scream and something breaking I know right away that something was up.
When me and Sophie got there Tsunami was in the corner rocking herself back and forth mumbling the whole time that she was nothing but a dirty piece of trash. I look at Riku who was picking up the broken plate, while Sophie was trying to talk Tsunami out of her ball, I pulled Riku to the side and looked over his hands. After bandaging the few cuts he had, I started my questioning of what had happened but first I need to get to a quiet place where Riku would not feel pressure or get worked up. We ended up in his room.
"What happened Riku?" I asked sitting with him in his room.
"I said that Tsunami was going to waste away if she didn't start eating again. But she said that she didn't care if she wasted away, because she was nothing but dirty trash. I was so shocked that I dropped the plate I had been holding and it scared her really bad. Tomoe I never want to see Tommy like that ever again." Riku said pulling his legs up to his chest. I wrapped my right arm around his shoulders.
"I know Riku. I also noticed it and can tell you that I might have to sit her down and make her talk like I used to when she was been stubborn. But right now we just have to keep an eye on her, and if that means giving her a nutiance milkshake than so be it. But we won't push her unless something bad really happens." I said before kissing the top of his head as a way to calm him down even a little bit. I have always known that Tsunami's biggest fan was Riku, he would say that she had made him the proudest big brother in the world, and I know he was telling the truth then and now.
"I just want our monkey back. The one out there is not her, I can just tell by the effort she has to put into her smiles. It's the fake one that we all had when we were little kids and couldn't tell anyone what was going on in our home." Riku said curling up tighter in his own little ball. I waited until Riku had fallen asleep, I could just tell that everything that has been happening was also taking a toll of Riku.
"... Sophie I'm going for a run, I need to get out of here before I have another episode."
"Tsunami you can't the doctor doesn't want you to put to much strain on your body than what you are already doing." Sophie said I could hear the worry in every word she said. But knowing my sister she was going to be just as stubborn as I was at the age of 12.
"Frankly I don't care what the doctor said about me not putting stain on my body. I need to move on from what the horrible person did to me, I don't even want Kaedo near me and his is the guy I have always dreamed about. The one that would save me from mum's family." I hear Tsunami say before closing the front door harshly.
"Wow that was harsh." I said before sitting down next to Sophie on the couch.
"I was only worry about her health Tsunami... While she is not eating very well anymore than again she never did when I first got her. I know you want to know but from the convention you just overheard what do you think that horrible man did to Tommy?" Sophie said picking up one of the pressed flowers made when she was younger. I actually have a whole box that she sent to me and Riku when I lived in the US.
"Something that only a pedophile would do. He touched her in the one place he shouldn't." I said getting up and grabbing my shoes. I needed to find Tsunami before something happened to her. And knowing my sister she most likely went to the park near Honan, which was luckily only a few blocks away from our new home, that was once our safe spot.
On my way there I was sending texts to any of my friends that could help look for her. The park had been her favorite place when she was a four year old girl, now a days she could be anywhere. I meet with Heath and Kyosuke along with Kaedo who was also on medical leave from school.
"I know you guys are busy right now but you know I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't an emergency. Tsunami my little sister run out of the house after a very bad break down. I fears that she might do something dangerous." I said, looking at the others. So far only Seisai knew about our past and what I almost did as a child. Heath and Kyosuke went one way while me and Kaedo went the other.
"Tomoe do you have any idea of where she might be?" Kaedo asked as we split up to find Tsunami. I know of two people that she would talk with one being Kaedo and the other is me.
"We're in luck this place is close to the park I used to take Tsunami and Riku to when we were little kids. Tsunami most likely went to hide at the swings like when the bullies would pick on her for always carrying Mr. Clingly. No matter what the weather was like if she was upset I could always find her at the swings pushing herself with her toes." I said as we made our way there. I put my hand behind my head and took in a deep breath, I had been doing morning and afternoon walks since I was told I didn't have to use the crutches any more. On more than one occasions I had invited Tsunami to join me on my walks, but she never wanted to.
"So this park was a safe haven when she couldn't understand her feeling or emotions?" Kaedo asked as we crossed the street.
"Yes, but it was also a safe haven for all three of us. Tsunami has always had a hard time with people, no one wants to take the time to understand Tsunami to the extent of Me and Riku. But I see that your reaching out to her and no one blames you Kaedo right now Tsunami doesn't understand what happened or what to do now to move on with her life." I said putting my hand on his shoulder at another signal light. I can somewhat understand how Tommy feels, but than again I've known her the longest, and was always there to listen seeing as I couldn't do much more. But for some reason I had a bad feeling setting in my gut. I just hope she didn't pick up any of my harmful habits. As the light turned green I took off at neck breaking speed, against the Doctor's orders, I know Kaedo was on my tail seeing as I had give him a heads up on what I was going to do. When we got to the park I could hear someone yelling for help.
The feeling I had gotten earlier had been right she picked that way to deal with what that cruel man had done to Tsunami. I rushed over to the woman calling out for help only to see that it wasn't Tsunami; than where could she be. I rushed around all over the place looking in the places I thought she might be only to find her talking with a duck at the kor pond.
"Tommy NEVER RUN OFF, like that again, do you hear me. I was so scared that something might have happened to you." I said turning her around before pulling her into a hug. I run my hand through her short wet hair before hearing the heart wrenching sound of her cries. I felt her grabbed onto the sweatshirt I was wearing with her ever so small hands before we ended up laying in the kor pond. I pulled away and laughed at the fact that this was most likely the third time she had fallen into the pond. I pushed her off cut bangs out of my way to see that she had tears in her eyes and was biting her bottom lip to stop herself from crying. I pulled Tsunami into another hug while rubbing her back as a way to calm her down.
"Shh baby girl. It's alright, you can cry all you want and no one would blame you for it. Not after what you have been through." I whispered picking her up and got us both out of the kor pond just as Kaedo and the others showed up luckily they had Ryan who had several towels with him.
I wrapped a few around Tsunami seeing as I had been wearing three layers of clothing while she was wearing only shorts and a light tee shirt. The water was cold at this time of the year seeing as it was nearing winter. That was before she put a towel on my head.
"You big doofus you need to dry your hair leased you want to get sick." Tsunami said looking away from me.
"I fell in once you fell in at least three times, from how cold your skin is." I said taking the towel off of my head and started drying her hair with it. I know I had hit the nail on the head when she didn't say anything. In our family the best way to tell if someone is hiding something is to watch our eyes as they move to the top left corner, while Tsunami on the other hand she gets really quiet and will not look anyone in the eye.
"Tomo, I'm fine now you can stop drying my hair and worry about your own." Tsunami said under her breath as away to hide the fact that she wanted nothing to do with people. I moved the towel I was using to dry her short chopped copper hair feeling for any wet spots, that and Tsunami needed to know that no matter what I would always be there for her, and just as I thought I found that her hair was still soaking wet.
"No can do kiddo your hair is soaking wet. Anyways I have several layers of clothes on while you are only wearing shorts and a light T-shirt that you stole from my room." I said pushing the towel back a little bit and kissed the top of her head like I used to. I however was not expecting my monkey to jump away from me and head for higher ground which in this case means the closest tree. I watched as she jumps from tree to tree trying her hardest to get away from us. Only for her to lose her footing and fall back into the pond. I watch her head pop back up from the slightly deeper side of the pond with a duck on her head. She picked the duck off her head softly and put it back into the water.
"You shouldn't touch something filthy it will only make you sick." I heard her softly whisper as the duck swam away from her. I jumped into the pond and picked her out of it. She fought trying her hardest to get away from me. It hurt to see those tears as she whispered 'let me go' over and over finally I couldn't take it anymore and nearly fell to the ground cradling her close to my chest, as my own tears flowed down to drip onto her head.
"Tomo nii-chan..." Tsunami whispered looking up at me.
"Tsunami, never forget that I will always listen to you if something is bothering you. I don't care if you want to cry or scream. Just know that no matter what that I will always love you. Riku loves you along with so many others." I said into the top of her head before kissing her forehead. Which felt really warm; I know right away that she had a high fever from four dips into the pond. Not that it surprised me seeing as Tsunami is wearing clothes she stole from me. I turned to the others Tommy still cradled to my chest to keep her warm.
"Kyosuke, Heath thank you; however I have to get Tsunami home, seeing she went for a dip in the pond four times today." I said looking down at the tired girl in my arms, I could tell just by the coloring of her face that she had another fever. Kaedo took off his coat leaving him in just his hoodie, before draping his coat over Tsunami.
"I'm coming with you. I got to make sure that Tsunami is going to be alright." he said fire burning in his eyes. I know than that I would need to be having a chat with this boy very soon. But first Tsunami needs to go home and take some medicine and go to bed.
"That's a good idea seeing as I have my hands full with a sick monkey you are going to have to open the front door, oh before I forget here are my keys. That and we need to have a small talk." I said looking at him, until Tsunami bops me on the nose.
"Bad Onii-chan you don't scared people." she said before her head rolled back onto my shoulder. I shook my head and started walking towards home. Kaedo right behind me. Seisai stride team had to get ready for a concert, while beside Kaedo seeing as he still happen to be on medical leave just like my sister.
The guys know that I am not medical leave I am on holiday, but they bring me my work for class on Friday and I usually get it done by Saturday night. Sophie must of call the other two triples because Riyuki is standing by the front gate and let's just say that he did not look that happy."Tomoe..." He started but I didn't let him get to far because I sneezed away from Tsunami's head.
"Riyuki can we go inside before you start the lectures?" I said as Kaedo opened the unlocked front door. I stepped in kicked off my shoes and go put my sister in my room where I know she would be safe.
I toose Kaedo his jacket before mentioning to the couch and the steaming mug of tea with my name on it. No for my birthday last year Tsunami sent me a mug with my name written on it. So yes the steaming mug of tea was literally for me.
"Thanks Sophie. But there was no need for the other two triples to be called. I just had to break through that thick skull of my stubborn little sister." I said laying down on the ottoman. I felt a towel fall on my head and move to sit up. I took the towel and started to dry my hair like Tsunami had wanted me to do in the first place, but then again I can be just as stubborn as my little sister. Okay I might of had Kaedo send Sophie a text saying that we were on our way home with a feverish Tommy and me being slightly wet. After drying my hair and finishing my tea, I went not only to get out of my top two layers but to grab a hair tie and also check up on my sick little monkey.
"Kaedo come with me." I said moving to the dining room table which is a rule in this house all homework must be done at the dining room table.
"What's up Tomoe?" Kaedo asked sitting across from me. I spread out my papers and materials before looking at him okay I had also grabbed my glasses, so that I could make out the twin's handwriting.
"We need to have a talk about your relationship with Tsunami... Ow, Riyuki that wasn't needed." I said after he smacked the back of my head with a rolled up newspaper. When I looked back only to see that it was not Riyuki but Tsunami and she did not look happy.
"Kaedo you don't have to answer any of Tomoe Nii-chan's question if you do not want to." She said also sitting down and pulling out her green monkey folder.
Everyday Reiji brings her homework in different colored monkey folders that are given to the teacher at the end of the week. She was sitting at the end of the table working on what I had to guess was math, her least favorite subject ever, sure as a little kid she could do complex math.
"What form of math are you doing?" I asked looking up from my trigonometry homework. But now that I think about it she had been doing math at two years old so I know she was smarter than your average 14 year old girl.
"Calculus, Kaedo you wouldn't have the formulas for Problem 128?" She said not even looking up I turned my head to look at Kaedo also doing his homework. He handed her a piece of paper before going back to work.
"I'm getting something to drink you two want anything?" I asked getting up to ask Sophie, who is in the kitchen, for help on my trigonometry homework. I got nothing out of those two, but what did I expect; they both were taking AP classes and only as first years.
"Hey Sophie, can you help me with my trigonometry homework?" I asked after getting a soda from the fridge. She looked at me before handing some papers to Richard who was at the kitchen nook.
"Sure sweetie." She said making her way to the dining room table where Riku had joined the group. He looked to be struggling with English language, Ryan looked to be helping him with it and Kaedo and Tsunami were working on their homework together, make sense seeing as no one in this family had anything to do with Calculus. So while every one was working on our home work Lavi though it was best to tear up Tsunami's quite, when she found out let's just say Lavi will not be going anywhere near her for awhile.
"Stupid cat, had to destroy my favorite quite... It took me ages to make it. Now I have to start all over again." she said picking up stuffing, fallen animals, and pieces of ripped up fabric.
"Come on Tsunami it probably didn't take you ages to finish it. How long had you been working on it?" Kaedo said before a stuff cat hit him in the head. I had been about to warring him that it's not a good move to talk with Tsunami when she is this mad.
"Ten years. Sophie taught me how to make them. This was the first one I did all by my self. Sure I made a few mistakes but I still gave it my best shot, and I was proud of the quite I had made." Tsunami said before biting her bottom lip a way she uses to prevent the waterworks. I run my hand up and down her back trying to clam her down.
"Calm down Tsunami getting worked up will not change any thing." I said once she had let out the shaky breath she was holding in. I had known about the quite from the start, Sophie had told me that Tommy had taken up different crafts to help calm her down and keep her busy while into the night. This quite however was the first thing Tsunami made by herself all the others Sophie helped her with at one point or another.
" Now Tommy what do you say to Kaedo for snapping at him." I said, it was a statement not a question."I'm sorry Kaedo I shouldn't had snapped like that and I will try not to do it again." she said looking at her friend. I however notice that she was playing with her fingers, she only ever did that when she was either A) talking about a crush or B) talking to her crush.
"While I still have some homework to get done you two hang out but keep it to PG got me." I said turning on the hidden baby monitor. It was her Monkey wall decor, which Riku somehow turned the wooden monkey decor into a baby monitor so that we could keep not only our ears on her but also our eyes. On my way to the dining room table I stopped in the kitchen and turned on the baby monitor. Ryan was helping Richard look over some documents.
" Hey can you guys keep an eye on Tsunami and Kaedo for me?" I asked looking at them over my shoulder.
"Sure Tomoe." Ryan said not even looking up from the papers on the kitchen table. Another rule in this house first up makes breakfast so it was either Tsunami, Riyuki, or me and seeing as it is breakfast we all either grab something and go or seat at the kitchen nook table.
"Finished." Riku said after half an hour of working. I had also just finished so that I could take a nap, before supper. Or that was my plan before Sophie stopped us from leaving the dinning room.
"Tomoe, Riku can you boys set the table please?" She asked looking up from the stove where she was cooking something. I nodded my head before getting the sliver ware and napkins. Riku got the glasses out and Kaedo who had come out of Tsunami's room got the plates. He know where everything was because of how often he stay over for dinner. When I went back into the dinning room I saw Tsunami laying out place mates, and Riyuki was washing the other half of the table.
Once everything was done we were told that it would be about fifteen minutes until supper was done. I grabbed my phone before sitting down on the couch, I was looking over the different text messages I had gotten in the last two weeks. I did not notice the weight on my shoulder until both me and Tsunami fell asleep from everything that happened today, that and the lavender plant on the coffee table that might have something to do with us falling asleep.
"Tomoe it's time to get up honey." Sophie said shaking my shoulder. It took about four minutes for my brain to start working again, but once it was I looked at my phone to check the time, 17:45. I had slept right through supper and so had Tsunami or that was what I thought had happened until I notice her sulking at the dinning room table pushing around a couple carrots.
"She doesn't want to finish her carrots." Sophie said sitting next to me. I got up and sat next to Tsunami at the dinning room table and grabbed a couple of carrots from the plate on the table. I bite into one of them to show her that it was okay to eat them. Tsunami just kept sulking in her seat, pushing them around on her plate. I thought back on how I used to get her to eat her carrots when it hit me across the back of my head. No literally hit me upside the back of my head, because Riku brought it out for her the ranch dressing.
"Hey Tommy you want some ranch?" I asked looking at her, to say her head snapped up would be correct but it was the smile on her face that made my day. It was the same smile she gave me all those years ago. I took a clean spoon and put a good amount on her plate.
"Thank you Tomoe Nii-chan." Tsunami said before digging in at full speed. I was temped to tell her to slow down or she might choke, but than again this is probably the first real meal she has had in a very long time. So I wasn't going to get in the way of her eating. That and Sophie had brought me a re-heated plate for my dinner. I must say I now see why the guys never stay to eat for supper, their mom's cooking is horrible. I think I'm going to take up making our meals again.
"Sophie no offense but your a better therapist than a cook." I said looking at her. Now I understood why Tsunami refused to eat her carrots they were disgusting.
"That bad?" she asked, which I was expecting one but not six 'YES' to answer.
"Like they said it's bad. If you want me and Tsunami can cook the meals?" I said helping with the last of the dishes. Tsunami and Kaedo were playing a game in the living room with Ryan, who surprisingly is really good with trauma victims, from the look of the game it was a broad game based on educational subjects. Riku had gone out to practice with his friends, and was due home soon. Sophie had sent Riyuki with him so I would feel better but we both know that I am still on edge after this afternoon. Sophie curled up with a book in her favorite spot and I lied down on the ottoman with Lavi the cat. Who was playing with a small amount of Tsunami's hair. At lease Lavi wasn't afraid of my little sister anymore, but we'll see how the rest of this evening turns out.
"Hey Kaedo is your dad picking you up tonight?" I asked looking out of the window, it was the same car as Kaedo's father and it had been parked out side of the house for the last fifteen minutes.
"No today Friday. I always stay over on Friday so that I can have some time to do anything beside studying. Why do you ask Tomoe?" Kaedo said looking at me. I pointed out to the car across the street, and from the fact that his eyes grow to the size of diner plates. I know it was his dad, out of the corner of my eye I notice Kaedo pulling at his long sleeved shirt.
I also saw my sister put her hand on his shoulder, I know something was up. It wasn't until Ryan handed me a note from my sister did the pieces click together. Kaedo was just like us, he was an abuse victim. But the other part on the note made no sense to me at all.
'...save him please from many more.' It read. It was than that a rock broke through the window and almost hit Kaedo in the head. Luckily Tsunami has faster reflexes than the person who throw the rock because when she throw it back she not only broke the car window but also hit two guys with one throw.
"Tsunami please don't. I don't want to see you get hurt again." Kaedo pleaded with my mad hatter version of a little sister.
"I don't care Kaedo, if people are hurting someone I care about than I have the right to defend my self and the other person. And don't you dare think that no one cares for you, because if you look around this room you will see that a lot of people care." She said before grabbing her jacket out of the hall cup broad. I also saw her grab the pallet gun we keep in there for safety reasons.
"I'll be back in fifteen. Tomoe I need you to bandage Kaedo up for me, seeing as I most likely didn't do that good of a job early." Tsunami said sliding her shoes on and walking out the front door. I heard three rounds go off and a lot of screaming, swearing(Tsunami mainly) and tires squealing before two more rounds went off. I looking at Kaedo to get him to talk to me, before my sister comes in and I have to patch her up again. This is the fourth time she had to use that gun this week.
"Tomoe can you please take Kaedo to your room and get him patch up, and I'll deal with the mad hatter." Ryan said opening the cup broad door and grabbed his jacket. I stand up although I just wanted to lay down and sleep for a little bit. I grab Kaedo's shoulder while he is trying to get my sister to stop.
"Kaedo this is the fourth time this week. Let her do what she does best and that's irk people off." I said before pushing him towards my room. If Tsunami had to patch him up than that means when I was still working on my homework, she had done it. I pulled him into my room and had Kaedo sit on my bed.
"So you want to tell me what's going on before she breaks down my door and scare the answers out of you." I said looking at him. Kaedo know I was just joking but nothing came out of him. Not even an answer. He just kept staring at the floor.
"My dad isn't that happy with me. He's paying a lot of money for me to go to Seisai high school." Kaedo said, putting his face into one of my many pillows.
" I can understand why, but Kaedo you need to tell me the truth. I want you to think about this, if you get taken away from Tsunami it will break her heart. It will be just like when Tsunami was taken away from you." I said tying off the bandage on his wrist. The fact that his eyes grew to be larger than dinner plates. I know that Kaedo didn't want that to happen.
"So do you want to tell me the truth? Or should I tell Sophie to call the police?" I said, putting a tee shirt on the bed for him to change out of my sister's baggy long sleeve.
"My mom died give birth to me. Since than my dad has hated me, at first he barely came home from work so I had to take care of myself. It wasn't until he remarried to my stepmother it started to get worse. Sure she tried to stop him, but he started hitting her too. As a way to protect my stepmother, I took all of the beatings." Kaedo said taking the baggy long sleeve off and putting my tee shirt on, like Tsunami it just hung off her frame.
"Kaedo, Tomoe can I come in?" Tsunami said knocking with her left hand. I know than her hand was hurt, be it the back lash of the pelt gun or some glass cut her hand."Yeah come in Tommy, the clinic is still open. Let me take a look at your hand." I said looking up from pulling a pelt fragment from my sister's hand. I sometimes think that I should lock the pelt gun away where she can't find it, but knowing Tsunami she would find it where ever I put. I finish pulling the last of the pelts out of my little sister hand before disinfecting the tiny holes that litter my sister's hand.
"Okay there you go Tommy." I said applying the last of the band aids to her hand. Between her and Kaedo I don't know if we would have enough bandages should someone get hurt worst.
"Okay it's getting late you two bed time." I said standing up knowing that it was reaching close to 21:00, which is around the same time that Tsunami goes to bed. Kaedo often stay up and hangs out with me and Riku until Sophie turns out the lights in my room. That was our signal that it was bed time for every one, but tonight I wasn't going to give into Kaedo and Riku getting very little sleep. The last few weeks when those two would be rushing around to get ready for school, while me and Tsunami would just be standing there waiting for them to hurry up. Three of us had to catch a couple of trains, before we finally make it to school, and seeing as tomorrow would be the first day for all of us going back to school, I needed just as much sleep as anyone else. I should of know that even if those two did go to sleep around the time like everyone else they would still be running around like chickens with their head chopped off.
"Kaedo, Riku hurry up, I want to catch my trains sometime today." I said crossing my arm over my chest. Tsunami was currently happy being wrapped around my waist just like a baby monkey would. Riku was about to snap when Sophie interrupted the comment that would of just started another fight.
"Riku I will see you tonight, behave Tsunami and Kaedo. Tomoe have a nice week." Sophie said wrapping each of us in a hug. We were all off to our respective school, three of us carrying our duffle bags and book bags. I was lucky that I could walk my sister and Kaedo to their train before I had to run and catch my own. If it hadn't been for the tears building in the corner of Tsunami's eyes I might of hadn't needed to run and dodge people. I was luckily that there were not that many people on the early morning commute so I could find a seat by my self.
