I held my breath as I carefully watched Uki. Why is she here? Uki is in my class, so it was inevitable to avoid her in the first place.

She noticed how I was looking at her and she held her hand close to her. "I'm sorry. I know you probably don't want to see me after what had happened yesterday... or ever." She kneeled in front of me. "Emiya... can I tell you my story?"

I exhaled the breath that I held. "Story?" She nodded and looked up until our eyes were connected. Her light brown clashing with my own green eyes. "Of... of what?"

"Why do I do it?" She looked down at her hands. "Why do I listen to Tomiya and Isaki as my life depended on it? Why do I torment you?" She looked back up at me. "Don't you want to know?"

I lightly gulped and nodded. "Yeah."

Her eyes slightly widened in shock and she looked around. "Okay, but not here." She stood up and cleaned off the invisible dust on her dress. "We'll talk at the nurse." She helped me up and grabbed the trash bin from the ground. She wrinkled her nose as she tied the small trash bag to trap the nauseating smell. "Do you need help walking?"

I shook my head. "I'm fine." I stumbled slightly before catching my balance. I held out my arm and placed it against the wall. "Give me a second." I groaned in pain and gently rubbed my face with my free hand.

I felt Uki's hand start to rub my back again. "Take your time."

"Emi-chan?" Uki and I looked up at the owner of the voice and my eyes widened in surprise. It was Mitsu-senpai along with the boy that I had seen yesterday sleeping in the limo. I believe he said he was his cousin.

"Hani-senpai?" Uki looked at me, then back at him. "You know Emiya?"

Mitsu-senpai gently patted his cousin's shoulder and he slid down his back. Mitsu-senpai walked over to me, moving Uki out the way, ignoring her question. "What's wrong, Emi-chan? You don't look too good."

I looked at Mitsu-senpai and blushed at how close he was to me. "Oh, I... um, I just don't feel well, that's all."

His eyes widened and got watery. "Oh no! Emi-chan, are you sick?! It's my fault, isn't it? It's all my fault!"

I took the hand that I had placed on the wall on my head. "No, no, Mitsu-senpai. It's not-" I wobbled slightly and stumbled forward. Luckily, Mitsu-senpai caught me.

"Emiya!" I felt Uki gently grabbed my arm. "We need to get to the nurse now before you pass out or something."

"Y-yeah, okay." I tried to move from Mitsu-senpai's grasp, but my legs gave out and I would have fallen if both Uki and Mitsu-senpai weren't already holding on to me.

"Emiya!" Uki placed her hand against my forehead and I closed my eyes in bliss at the cool touch. "You're burning up!" I groaned in annoyance when she pulled her hand away.

"Takashi, can you carry her?" I heard Mitsu-senpai ask, which made me open my eyes to look at him.

I heard a hum of approval from Mitsu-senpai's cousin and he moved in front of me. "Y-you're going to carry me?" He nodded and kneeled in front of me to reach my height. "Can I have a piggyback ride? I-I love piggyback rides."

"Really, Emiya?" I heard Uki say from beside me.

The boy who was kneeling in front of me gave a small smile before turning around. I heard Mitsu-senpai laugh slightly as he led me towards his cousin. "You're too cute, Emi-chan."

I smiled at Mitsu-senpai as I wrapped my arms around his cousin's shoulders. I was gently hoisted up onto his back as he stood up. I got dizzy and placed my head in the crook of his neck. "Thank you," I said as I closed my eyes. We started to head towards the nurse and I felt myself become a bit drowsy. I opened my eyes and looked at the path before me. "What's your name?" I picked up my head and moved my hands to grip the teen's shoulders lightly.

"Takashi Morinozuka." He simply said.

"My name's Emiya Anzai. I'm sorry, it's probably kinda weird to introduce myself now, huh?" He hummed slightly as if he was telling me that he was listening. I placed my chin on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I hummed lightly. His name sounds familiar... "Um... Do you know a second-year named Nikko?"

He hummed in approval. "I teach him Kendo."

I felt a slight dizziness in my head so I placed my head on his shoulder. "I wish I can go with Nikko-nii to practice…" I mumbled against his shoulder.

We reached the nurse's office and I was set down on one of the beds. The nurse walked over with a clipboard in hand. "May I help you…" She paused to look at each of us carefully. "Four…"

"Emiya is sick," Uki said from beside me. "She just started throwing up in class."

"Oh dear." The nurse walked over to me and placed a cold hand against my forehead. "Oh my, you're burning up. I'll inform your parents. Do you have any siblings that go here?"

I nodded. "Nikko and Kaya Anzai, from 3B and 2B," I said before coughing. The nurse nodded and went over to a laptop that was set up on one of the counters.

"I'll go get them. You can make sure Emi-chan is okay, 'kay Takashi?" Mitsu-senpai said as he gave me a small hug before making his way towards the door.

"Can you get Kaya first?" I called after him. He flashed me a smile and nodded before running off, leaving Morinozuka-senpai and Uki to stay with me.

I saw Uki look at Morinozuka-senpai warily as he took a seat beside me. She sat on the bed beside me and whispered in my ear, "I can't tell you when he's here."

I nodded. "That's fine."

Uki stood up and twiddling her thumbs. "Um... I'll try to come visit you after school." I nodded and she awkwardly left the nurse's office.

It was silent in the room, besides the light tap of the nurse's laptop keyboard. I looked at the boy who sat beside me to take in his features, but our eyes met instead, making me look away embarrassed. He reminds me of someone...

The nurse made her way over to me with a fever thermometer in her hand, along with her clipboard. She gently placed the end of it on my forehead and pressed the button, waiting. A small beep sounded and she looked at the small screen. "Emiya, you have a fever of 39.9 degrees Celsius. You can't come to school until it goes down to a temperature between 36.5 and 37.5, okay?"

I looked down, a bit disappointed, and nodded. "Okay…"

The nurse went back to her laptop and closed it, revealing a phone behind it. She dialed a number and waited for an answer.

I sighed and brought my knees to my chest and lied my head on my knees, facing Morinozuka-senpai. He wasn't looking at me this time and I tried to carefully study his face, an attempt to try to ignore the sudden pounding in my head. His skin tone was a bit darker than mine and I had to resist touching him to see the difference in pigment much easier. His eyes, which were carefully studying the ground, were a charming shade of dark gray, which suited him greatly. I moved carefully to look at how different his hair was. His dark hair was spiky, which made me want to touch it to find out if it was like that naturally or he had used a hair product instead. I squinted my eyes in concentration. Who does he remind me of? My head pounded harder as I tried to remember. It wasn't his eyes or his skin tone, it was his hair, weirdly enough. I continued to stare until it finally clicked.

Han Jae…

Han Jae is my other older brother from my father's past. My father was dating a woman who was Korean before he had met our mother, and Han Jae was a result of their relationship. Dad had told us that her own father didn't approve of their relationship so they were forced to separate, Han Jae only being taken care of by his mother's family. Six years later, my parents had started to date, the year after the start of their relationship was their marriage, and the year after that, Nikko was born. The next year was Kaya, and the year after was me.

I remember when I was around the age of either nine or ten, an unfamiliar man stood on our doorstep. I was the one who opened the door for my mother. I stared at the man, assuming that it would be a new uncle because of the close resemblance he had to my father. The main resemblances that he had were his green hazel eyes and his clear dimples. I was wrong about the uncle thing, but I was right in the family addition section. Han Jae was ecstatic to learn that he had younger siblings, and that made me happy. He came with the sad news that his mother had died due to cancer and he had hoped that he could finally meet his father after all those years of separation. Dad was overjoyed to finally meet his son, while Mom... she didn't exactly enjoy his company. Han Jae would speak Korean sometimes, confusing me and my siblings. He would always laugh at our confusion and he promised to teach us the language if we were interested, which we certainly were. He had stayed with us, for about a year before moving out to a place nearby. I would always go to visit throughout the two years that he had lived there. He would let me get away with some things and he didn't mind if I touched his slightly long, spiky hair. One day, when I went to go for my usual visit, he didn't answer. It was like that for about two months until the landlord saw me and he told me that no one was living in the apartment anymore. Han Jae had left without telling any of us. I was really hurt because Han Jae and I were really close. I wouldn't talk to anyone because of how upset I was and my parents started to get worried. All I wanted was Han Jae to come back.

As I continued to stare at Morinozuka-senpai, I felt my eyes water and I sniffled. I sat up and wiped my eyes, but that didn't help. I sat on the bed and stared at my hands instead, letting the tears slip out. I hiccuped and let out a shaky breath as I listened to the nurse speaking to someone on the phone. My shoulders gently shook as I tried to hold in the sobs that were trying to force their way out. I sniffled again and a hand gently rubbed my back. I looked up to see the owner of the hand, Morinozuka-senpai. He had a look of worry on his face. He moved to sit next to me and hugged me gently.

"Cry... It's better to let sorrow flow than let it grow inside you." He said gently.

I hiccuped again and wrapped my arms around his torso. I started to bawl into his chest as he tenderly rubbed my back. "I-*Hic*-I miss Han Jae." I continued to cry, spewing out variations of sentences of how much I missed Han Jae, telling Morinozuka-senpai all the different things I missed about him.

I don't know how long I've been crying, but throughout the whole time Morinozuka-senpai had comforted me throughout the whole time. I sniffled and wiped my now drying tears. I pulled away from his arms, still wiping my eyes. "Th-thank you…" I said, a bit embarrassed.

He nodded with a small smile as he gently patted my head.

I felt someone else touch me and I jumped before turning to the person. It was Kaya. She smiled sadly and her eyes shone with worry. "Are you okay?"

I sniffled and nodded. "I was just... sad…"

She rubbed my back and kissed my temple. "We'll take you home, okay?" She looked at Morinozuka-senpai and smiled. "Thank you for looking after Emiya, Mori-senpai."

I looked at Morinozuka-senpai. "They call you Mori-senpai?" He nodded. "Oh… Can I give you a nickname?" I said, a bit excited.

He chuckled lightly and nodded. "Sure."

I clasped my hands together and tried to think of a nickname for my new senpai. Hmm… His name is Takashi Morinozuka, so… I gasped excitedly. "What about Taka-senpai?! It's from your given name like I did for Mitsu-senpai."

Kaya laughed while Taka-senpai smiled, nodding. "Oh, Emi, you're just too cute~," Kaya said as she gave me a hug.

The door to the nurse's office suddenly bursted open, ruining the small happy moment. "Miya!" Nikko ran through the doors to the bed that I sat on. "My little doll!" He hugged me tightly, making me breathless.

"Can't... breath…" I tried to pry Nikko off, but it was to no avail.

He was suddenly flung across the room by none other than Kaya. "I swear, I'm related to an idiot." She hissed out at Nikko.

He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm worried about Emiya."

"So am I, but I don't go around almost suffocating her every time I see her!"

"Nē, Nē, calm down, Kaya." Korra walked into the nurse's office with Mitsu-senpai next to her. "I'm sure he didn't mean any harm to her." Kaya huffed at Korra. Korra moved to sit next to me, along with Mitsu-senpai, and she patted my head. "Hi, Little Butterfly."

I smiled at the nickname Korra had for me. "Hi, Korra. Thank you for making me breakfast. It was really good... until I, uh, you know…"

She smiled happily. "I'm glad you thought so."

I heard a sniffle from where Kaya and Nikko stood and we all looked to see Nikko, teary-eyed, making grabby hands towards me, while Kaya tightly held the back of his uniform blazer. Korra and I rolled our eyes.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from my left side and I saw that it was Mitsu-senpai. "Awww, Nikko-kun, you're missing out on all the Emi cuddles." He snuggled into my side, making me giggle slightly.

I felt Korra wrap her own arms around me like Mitsu-senpai had. "Yeah, Nikko, what are you doing? If you really don't want Emiya, then Hani-senpai and I will keep her." She rubbed her cheek against mine. "Right, senpai?"

"Yup!"

Oh god, are they seriously teasing him?

Nikko started to struggle in Kaya's grip. "Let go, Kaya! I can't let them steal my child!"

Kaya rolled her eyes at his words. "No."

The nurse walked back towards us, ignoring the scene that was happening. "I was able to inform your parents, but they say that they are currently out of town and that the few servants that you have are off today." She looked at Kaya and Nikko. "Are any of you two able to bring her home at the current moment?"

Nikko sprung up. "I can do it!"

Kaya growled at Nikko. "No, I'll do it."

"No!" Nikko yelled, and that's when they started arguing over who would take me home and take care of me.

I heard Korra give an annoyed sigh. "Kaya, just let Nikko bring her home." Kaya glared at Korra as she continued. "You have to go finish the teacher's aid program. You've already missed three days, so you can't miss another day, remember?"

Kaya groaned in defeat. "Fine." She glared at Nikko who smiled triumphantly. She huffed angrily and turned on her heel. "C'mon, Korra."

Korra reluctantly lets go of me whispering, "Hope you feel better, Little Butterfly." I waved at the two as they left.

"Mitsukuni." I heard Taka-senpai's deep voice say.

"I know…" Mitsu-senpai said sadly. His arms that were still around my torso gave me a light squeeze. "We're gonna go now too, okay Emi-Chan?" I nodded, understanding. He smiled. "Before I go, I have to give you a good luck kiss so you can feel better!"

He started to lean forward to kiss my wounded cheek and I was immediately pulled away by Nikko. "No, no, no! Miya-Chan is okay. She doesn't need one."

Mitsu-senpai pouted. "Okay…" He said sorrowfully. "We'll come by later to check on you, Emi-Chan. Right, Takashi!" Taka-senpai nodded and stood up, along with Mitsu-senpai. "We'll see you later, Emi-Chan!" He said as he climbed onto his cousin's back.

"Oh, wait!" I struggled in Nikko's grip and he gently placed me down. "Do any of you two know a… um…" I tried to remember the name that was given to me for the White Team Captain. "Kyo... ya… I think."

"Kyoya Ootori?" I nodded at Mitsu-senpai's answer. "Yup! We know Kyo-Chan!"

I looked around for my bag and whined when I couldn't find it. "Oh no... My bag is in my classroom…" I looked back up at both Taka-senpai and Mitsu-senpai. "I have a form to give him… but I don't have it on me…"

"How about you leave it with your teacher and Takashi and I will pick it up and bring it to Kyo-Chan?"

I smiled. "Really? Oh, thank you!"

Mitsu-senpai smiled back. "Anything for you Emi-Chan!" He said as Taka-senpai made his way out with Mitsu-senpai on his back.

When they left the room, I heard Nikko release a heavy sigh. The nurse came over, giving Nikko a note of some sort and he glanced at it before shoving it in his pocket. "Let's go get our things and go, okay?" He said as he patted my head.

"Okay!" We made our way out of the nurse's office and made our way to my classroom first. It was silent the whole way to my class. Nikko usually isn't this quiet.

We stopped in front of the door and I gently knocked, earning a "Come in!"

I opened the door, going inside and Kurusu-Sensei immediately grabbed my things, handed them to me. "I hope you feel better, Anzai-Chan." Once he said that, the whole class chimed in, telling me to feel better, making me feel slightly embarrassed.

I bowed to them all. "Thank you." I pulled out the registration sheet. "Can I ask for a small favor, Kurusu-Sensei?"

He nodded. "Sure, Anzai-Chan."

I held up the paper. "Because I have a fever, I'm not able to give this to the team captain. Two seniors are going to come over later to pick this up for me. Can you please give this to them?"

He smiled, grabbing the paper. "Of course."

I bowed again, telling him "thank you" and I made my way out of my class back to where Nikko stood patiently outside, his eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the ground in concentration. "Are you okay?"

He looked at me and nodded. "Yeah, let's just get my things and head home." He said as he grabbed my bag for me. I nodded and followed silently.

After a bit, Nikko suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway, making me bump into him. "Emiya... are you dating that boy?"

I looked up at him, staring at the askance expression that he had. "Um… Who?"

He turned completely around. "Hani-senpai! Who else?!" He said. I could tell that he was starting to get angry.

I laughed at both his face and his assumption about me and my senpai. "No, why would you think that?"

His angry expression turned into an annoyed one. "He... he…" He groaned in annoyance and said in an angered whisper. "He tried to kiss you."

I blushed at the thought of being kissed by Mitsu-senpai again. "Yeah, but it was nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Yeah… he's done it before…" I realized how wrong that sounded and my blush grew worse. "Wait, no! I mean, he has... b-but it was like a kiss that, um, a m-mother gives her child when they're injured!" I pointed at the bandage that was still on my cheek. "Right here! 'C-cause it got cut!"

Nikko stared at me before smiling. "Really?" I nodded quickly. He patted my head. "Okay, Emiya, I trust you." He turned and started to walk towards his class again.

I followed him silently, still embarrassed.

We finally reached Nikko's classroom, 3-B, after the long, agonizingly silent walk there. He knocked on the door and waited for the call from his teacher. Once we heard the "Come in," he opened the door, revealing all of the third year students. He walked in and said something to his teacher.

I poked my head in and scanned the room, seeing if I saw anyone who looked familiar. Around the back, I saw a familiar black cloak and waved. "Hi, Nekozawa-senpai!" The said male looked towards me and waved with the Beelzenef that was on his left hand.

Suddenly the whole room started talking and I could hear snippets of their unexpected conversations. "Who is she?" "She's so tiny!" "She knows Umehito-san?"

I blushed in embarrassment and looked at Nikko for help. He quickly grabbed his things and made his way towards me. "I'm sorry, this is my little sister, Emiya. She's not feeling well, so I'm taking her home." He said as he led me outside of the classroom. He closed the door and sighed. "Really, Emiya."

I pouted. "I just wanted to say "hi" to Nekozawa-senpai…"

He gave me a small hug. "You're too cute, Emiya." He grabbed my hand and led me through the halls, towards one of the many exits and entrances of the school. "When we get home, make sure you take a small nap. I'll make some meat and potato stew."

I smiled happily. My favorite! "Thank you, Nikko-nii."

He paused and looked at me. "...Nikko...nii?" I looked at him quizzically and nodded. He pulled me into a tight hug. "Awww~ You're just too cute, Emiya!"

I struggled in his grip. "No…"

He put me down after a bit of him torturing me with his cuddles. "Okay, let's get home."

We continued our small trek towards Nikko's personal car that was parked in the school's personal parking lot. When we made it to the car, Nikko unlocked it and I went inside. Nikko got in the driver's seat and placed both our bags in my lap. Nikko started the engine and started to drive.

It was quiet for the main part of the drive to our mansion. Nikko slowed down to a stop at a red light and started to lightly tap on the steering wheel. "Miya... I have a question…"

I looked at him. "What is it?"

He paused for about a minute, and he only asked the question when the light turned green once again. "Have you been to the Host Club... at all, for any type of reason?"

I shook my head. "No... Why?"

"I was just wondering…" He turned a corner and he stayed silent until he had asked another question. "How did you meet Haninozuka and Morinozuka?"

"I met Mitsu-senpai after I fell into one of the school's fountains and-"

"You fell into a fountain?!" Nikko yelled.

I nodded. "Yeah, and I just met Taka-senpai today."

"Soooo... it wasn't from... their clubs?"

I shook my head. "No, I never really asked about their clubs."

"Good…" Nikko slowly brought the car to a stop in front of our house. "Don't ask."

I looked at him. "Why?"

He shrugged. "It might ruin your friendship… I'm sure you wouldn't want that."

I quickly shook my head. "No, I don't." He smiled and grabbed our bags.

We both got out of Nikko's car and headed towards our home. "Once we get inside, try to take a nap. I'll wake you when the soup is ready, okay?"

"Okay…"

Nikko unlocked the door, pushing it open. I went inside our family mansion and made my way towards the stairs to head to my room. I pushed my room door open and flopped onto my bed. "I'm not even tired…" I said, my voice muffled by the sheets. I stood up and closed the door so I could change into something more comfortable. I pulled out a pair of pajamas that mainly consisted of grey with white polka dots on the pants and sleeves of the shirt, but on the middle of the shirt had a grey kitten sleeping. I quickly changed into them and plopped myself back onto the bed. I lied there, staring at the ceiling for the most part, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
