It was late in the night, you and Haru where cooking together. No mackerel this time, which was a relief really. You didn't mind the fish but having it so much really can make the taste buds turn. You had to admit he knew many ways to cook the fish, it amazed you. Not just that but his cooking too. It was delicious whenever you ate, better than yours. At least a level above yours. You had to admit to yourself, even if you didn't want too. This time for dinner he let you pick,the least the could do. As he said. Nothing else really behind it.

Standing next to him dressed in your pj's. Grey sleeping shorts with a dark grey tank top and chibi sun. Wearing white ankle socks, your hair in a messy ponytail. And an apron on. Cooking with Haru was something the two of you did, since you moved in here. After the death of April and you having to move or be put back in Foster Care. Which you didn't want and needed a place to stay quickly. The others made sure to assure you wouldn't be moved. You wanted to actually stay with Seijuro, but sense he was at a boarding school. He couldn't have you, Mako did asks his family who wouldn't have mind if they didn't have a full house already. Things where beginning to look grim for you. Rei tired too, but it was a no. Nagisa welcomed you with open arms, but that didn't pan through. You didn't want to be rude, but being around his sisters wasn't what you needed after losing your own. Gou tired but it was no. Even Coach, though you declined scared of what might happen. Haru finally offered up his place, which was perfect really. He lived by himself and there was enough room, he even contacted his parents who didn't mind. With the help of Ms. Miho she was able to fax them the papers over they needed to sign, making them your in a sense guardians.

Saved not a moment too soon. Because if would have happen after, you wouldn't be standing next to him right now. Moving into his place felt rather weird, still getting over leaving your old home to make a new one. What could you really do? The transition was rather smooth, he gave a quick tour of the place. The others helped you settle in too. There was an extra room for you too. Right across from his, so every night the two of you see the other. Though in the mornings he wasn't in his room, gone. Soaking in the bathtub.

Staying with him one would have thought it would be bland. But in fact it wasn't at all. Though he was rather hard to make out, his company was actually pleasant. Being able to walk with him and Mako every morning to school and at times back home. The two of you would do homework together. Most of the time you would be the one talking and present snacks as you both worked. A habit you use to do with April, in fact there where a few things you being to do that you use to do with April. One was being in the kitchen with another. Which he didn't mind. A few times you asked to sleep in his room with him. He didn't mind. Or you putting up a picture of her. The fact you some times liked to have meals outside. He would join you. He adjusted well with you, you where grateful for him allowing you to things that made you feel comfortable. Since he kept the place clean, there wasn't much for you to do. But when he did clean he allowed you to help and play music. You would at times like to randomly bake, he didn't mind. And would eat what you made. Sleep with the cat in your room.

When he would go running in the morning with Mako, you had asked a few times to join. He didn't mind you tagging along. Knowing you didn't really want to be by yourself. A few times you would play games with him or asks if you both could watch a movie every so often. He didn't mind, even when you asked to invite others over.

Mako pointed out, you made the place a bit more lively. Though Haru wouldn't show it, he was actually glad and happy to have you here and where returning back to yourself. He told you, before he offered his place to you, he thoroughly cleaned your room. He actually moved rooms, knowing you would want the room he was in. All this before you came. Knowing that made you happy. So you manage to tolerate his choice of food and his habits.

"Here."he hands you small tasting saucer. You taste it, it was rather good."Not."

"I kind of like it."you disagree."Well...maybe it is a bit too sweet. Oh, by the way I wanted to let you know, I migh-"you both hear a noise outside. Sounding like metal hitting metal. Curious you wonder what it was."What was that noise?"Looking to Haru.

The noise was close so you and him decide to investigate, well Haru does. Telling you stay and goes. While he was away, you quickly add in something extra. Just as he comes back with a extra person.

"We have a guest."he tells coming back, followed by Nagisa.

"Nagisa?!"you surprised to see him.

He gives you a big smile and glomps you in a hug."Hi May-May. Haru said I could stay here."

"...What are you doing here?"you ask, wanting to know why he was actually here so late. This was very random. He sets his things down before answering.

"I was umm, you know I wanted to see the meter shower."he tells you looking away."Yeah. I wanted to see it."

What he said made no sense."Meter Shower? But isn't..."Thinking about it.

"Mmmmm, something smells really good."Nagisa hurries to the kitchen looking at what you and Haru had been cooking."Wow this all looks really good. What are you two making?"

"Would you like some dinner?"Haru ask clearly seeing that was what he wanted. Which of course Nagisa accepted."Go put you things away. You can share May's room."

"Seriously?"Nagisa yelps with joy, turning around rushing back to you."We get sleep together. Isn't that exciting! Just like we use to do when we were younger."Getting in your face.

"Yes, so it seems."you try your best to be happy to."Why don't I hel-"you reach for his bag, but he grabs it quickly.

"No. I've got it."he tells you and goes upstairs. You watch him from below, something didn't seem right with him. He was overly happy than usual.

This feeling was bothering, but you just couldn't put your finger on it. Unable to figure it out, you go back to Haru. Who was finishing up, you get out three plates and help him fill them up.

"Worrying about it won't do you any good."He tells you reading you."It's Nagisa. Just leave it at that."

"You're right."you agree with him, taking two of the plates he gets the last one.

"Inside or outside?"he ask you. Thinking about it, you decide to eat inside, since Nagisa was here. Placing the plates on the table and setting it up. Nagisa comes down the second the two of you finished.

"Wow, it looks even better plated."he takes his seat."Thank you both!"

You take a seat next to Haru, normally would sit across from him where Nagisa was. But he had it. You watch him eat like it was his last meal."..."Looking to Haru, who didn't seem to make much of it.

Sighing you start to eat. Through dinner, Nagisa talked. Even with food in his mouth. His mouth was running a mile a minute. It was rather nice having him over. He ate a good amount of food. Once he finished he went to take a bath and jokingly asked if you join him. After he was done and it was time for bed for the three of you. You finished making lunch for tomorrow, normally it would be just two. For you and Haru but this time you made three including Nagisa. Putting them away, you make your way upstairs seeing two things. One Haru coming from your room carrying a blanket and pillow into his room. Second Nagisa settling in, reading something. Looking closer, you realize what it was. Your Career plan.

Freaking out,you rush in a snatch it away from before he might have read anything he wasn't suppose too.

"Hey?"he pouts."I was reading that."

Hiding it behind you back."Well it's not for you to read. You shouldn't go through things that don't belong to you."

"I wasn't going through it."he says."I was just reading it. Plus since I get to have your room tonight, it is actually mine."

His logic made some sense."That's not what I meant."You huff."Just, don't go through my things. Okay?"

"Alright. I won't."he agrees."So why does this mean I can't look through this Sosuke covered notebook?"he holds up your blue notebook that had Sosuke's name scribbled all over it."Is it your diary?"He gives you a sly and devious look. Snickering.

"Ah! Give that back Nagisa!"you scream, snatching it from him, flustering deeply. He just laughs at you."It's no-not funny."

He rolls on his side."Yes it is. You really like him, to scribble his name so much on there."

"I-I was just board."you say quickly."Shut up."

He kept laughing, but settles down."I'm just teasing. Hey, on your career plan what you have on there-"

You quickly hush him."Quiet. Look it's alright. I've been working with Ms. Miho, she's been helping me. So, just umm...leave it at that."

"Why are you acting so secret about it? Oh! Have you picked out which school you want to go to? I hope it's close. I know you'll get into whatever school you want. With your scores and brains. Yeah. There's no doubt about that."he gives you cheeky smile. Then looks behind you into Haru's room, the latter who was still setting up."Haru said you would just sleep in his room with him. You two sure share a lot since moving here. Cooking, food, a house, room, bathing.."he gives you a lecherous smile. To end up laughing.

"Nagisa..."you sigh."That only happened, like three times."

"Correction, five."Haru comes in getting some more of your things and leaves.

"You're not helping!"you yell at him, making Nagisa burst out laughing.

"See?"Nagisa states pointing.

Grumbling you sigh."It wouldn't happen if he just would wait. But he doesn't. I don't ask him to join me, he just does himself."

"Then why don't you just get out?"Nagisa questions."And let him soak up."

"...I would rather not."

Haru comes in."Hey, ready?"he looks to you."I've set everything up."

"Sure, goodnight Nagisa."you say to him and follow Haru out, turning off the light and shutting the door.

"Night you two."he waves."Don't have to much fun."He winks.

Groaning you couldn't help but laugh a bit from what he said. Shaking your head."Nagisa."Entering Haru's room, he had everything set up for you. One side he set for you on his bed, the other side was for him. He lets you climb in first and follows after you.

"Night."he tells you and turns off the light.


Over at Samezuka Momo just came from the restroom when he noticed an unfamiliar faces walking in the hall towards the pool. Noticing him looking over in their direction they approach him.

"Can I help you?"Momo looks at them a bit suspicious and uneasy. Eyeing them.

At the pool Aiichiro was watching Rin and Sosuke do their turn, when Momo comes running in over to him."Momo? Where have you been? We're up next."

"Hey, there some people here for May."he thumbs over his shoulder at the door. Looking behind him Aiichiro sees the people.

It was rather strange, what did they want with her? Looking back in the pool. Rin was still swimming so he wouldn't be able to handle this, leaving it up to him. Giving Rin one last glance, he goes over to the people. Leaving.

Rin finishes just a few seconds before Sosuke."What the?"he notices Aiichiro and Momo leaving the office, sending off a couple of people he did not know. Getting out of the pool he goes over to them. Just as those people leave, Sosuke followed a few seconds after."Hey."Rin calls to them, scaring them a bit."What was that all about?"

Aiichiro and Momo look at each other then to Rin, who's gaze upon them wanted to know."Well...Ummm.."Aiichiro tries to figure out what to say, looking to Momo for help.

"They where for May."Momo tells him.

"For May?"Rin arches an eyebrow."Why?"Looking towards the office, then back to them.

"They said they just wanted to see some of her pictures."Aiichiro confesses."So we I showed them. Please don't be upset."He pleads.

"What's going on?"Sosuke comes over.

"Apparently some people came for May."Rin fills him in."Though these two don't know why."

"Really?"Sosuke was surprise."Did they say what for?"

"No, just wanted to see some of her pictures."Rin said a bit bothered."How where they able to see them?"

Aiichiro confesses again."I know her password to her laptop! She told me. The way they really wanted to see them really bad. Plus they asked me to email them too. So I did. I know her password and email too. Though one of them wanted to see someone else wanted to see..her scores. I don't know why."

"Yeah. They even asked us about the pictures too."Momo throws in."They seem really impressed too. I couldn't make out what a view of them where saying. I remember though, I think some of them took a couple of pictures too."

"What!?"Rin pushes him and hurries to the office, Sosuke and the others follow him. Finding him by the laptop that was still on, well he couldn't get in cause of the pass code. Aiichiro comes and does it for him. Once in, Rin goes through the many files on it. Trying to see what pictures had been taken, but none he could fine.

He didn't actually know which ones because he never looked at them like she did. The others come around watching Rin open file after file looking at each one. Aiichiro was trying to get his attention but didn't. Frantically looking through everything on the laptop, not finding anything.

"Tsk.."he says rather frustrated.

While he clicked through, Sosuke noticed a few things on the desk and picks them up. All of them addressed to May."Hmm..."

"Damn it."Rin huffs."I can't find what they took. Why would you guys let them take some of her pictures!?"he snaps at Aiichiro and Momo.

Who flinch."Well, they seem really important."Aiichiro fiddles with his fingers.

"I don't care!"Rin nips."May's pictures, their really...Argh..She's going to be devastated. Without knowing what they took and if she finds out..."Sighing deeply."You guys should have gotten me. That way non-"

"Hey they left these for her."Sosuke shows him a couple of sealed folded papers. Addressed to May.

Taking them Rin looks at the name, he wanted to open them but decided against it. Though Aiichiro and Momo where rather curious what it was."What is it for?"They ask crowding around Rin on either side. Taking up his space. That he shakes them off.

"Get off."he tells them."I don't know what they are, their address to May."

"Well?"Momo suggest."Open them."

"What?! No!"Aiichiro protest."Those are for May only. We've already caused enough damage. Ah! Why are you eating her treats!?"Momo had open the box of Taro flavor Pocky and begin to eat it.

"What? I was hungry and it's just sitting there."he tells him, popping a daifuku in his mouth, making Aiichiro freak out more."Peach flavor?"

"Stop eating those! Their not for you."Aiichiro hollers.

While the two of them in the background, Sosuke and Rin paid more attention to the mysterious matter at hand. Trying to figure out what reason those others came here for."Are you going to open them?"Sosuke ask Rin.

"...I want too, but..."Rin stares at the sealed paper before him. He wanted to open them so he knew what going on. Then again, these where address to May.

Those people that came left them for her, but they also took some of her pictures without warning. Opening these would help him know why. Contemplating what to do and hearing the other two in the background didn't help.

"Quiet!"he snaps at them. Aiichiro and Momo stop fighting, with Momo dropping the box of Pocky and Aiichiro dropping the other treat onto the floor. Sosuke and Rin's eyes follow it."Great..."Rin groans.

"I swear I was trying to stop him!"Aiichiro defends himself. Pointing an accusing finger at Momo.

"Why does it matter? It's just treats, they where laying around anyway."Momo crosses his arms."I was hungry!"

"Don't you understand?!"Aiichiro screams."Those are her favorite flavors! She expects them all the time when she comes in! And you just ate what she loves!"

"So? Can't we just go get her some more?"Momo said, seeing nothing wrong with it."Geez...

Growling at in frustration, Aiichiro was about to snap at him but didn't."..."

Back with Rin and Sosuke, Rin finally decided. His concern and curiosity got the better of him and he begins to open one. Everyone crowds around him eagerly waiting. He could feel their hot breath on his neck. Well mainly Momo's. Slowly the seal starts to break, all eyes on it. It cracks...sliding his finger under the fold of the paper gently.

"What are you guys doing?"you ask catching them.

They freeze up caught red handed. All eyes look over to you standing at the door, looking right back at each of them. You notice your laptop open and all of them around. Momo having a Pocky in his mouth, the rest on the floor along with the daifuku too. Rin starting to open something for you and Sosuke holding the rest. A hush fell across the room.

The incriminating look upon their faces and the fright on what you might do. Especially when you walked over and picked up the Pocky and daifuku. Momo begin to panic and sweat. Slowly backing away feeling your anger slowly rise. Aiichiro started to tremble slowly taking a step back. Sosuke and Rin just stood still. Stiff. Afraid to move. Frozen. Watching you calmly place the empty box on the desk and close your laptop.

Outside with rest of the team at the pool, doing just fine. Going about their day, when the whole room suddenly erupted with yells. It scared some of them, their eyes look towards the office. They hear Aiichiro and Momo scream, mainly Momo. Crashing came after his screams.

"I told you!"Aiichiro comes running out crying, leaving poor Momo to his fate.

"Don't leave me!"Momo falls out of the room half way out and halfway in. To be dragged back inside, he screams."SORRY!"Clawing at the ground.

Sosuke and Rin manage to get out too. Avoiding Momo's punishment. Aiichiro cowers behind the two deathly afraid. All eyes and ears witness to Momo's demise.

Practice ended and so did thrashing. Momo came out eventually, though didn't talk to anyone. Only say under his breath how cruel May was and she took it too far. The reminder of practice you stayed in the office fixing everything Rin did. Unable to get any new pictures. Frustrated and upset at them for the craziness all four guys did. You didn't even bother to look at what was left for you.

Messaging your temples from repairing you'd been doing. Sitting back in the chair, moaning just a bit. You noticed the sealed papers, there was quite a few. Picking them up seeing your name on them. Your eyes widen at the sight of them, you knew what they where. Quickly you stuff them away in your bag.

"Knock, knock."Rin gets your attention. You look over at him, leaning by the door."Umm..."he looks away, scratching the back of his neck."Practice is over..So.."he thumbs over his shoulder.

"Oh. Sure, let me just..."you go back to your laptop, looking at the you still had to fix. Sighing a bit bothered and upset.

Rin couldn't help but feel bad. He did cause it to happen. Guess he didn't think when he drove right in, he just wanted to see what it was they took from you. All your pictures where important to you. Knowing how you would react if you found out they had been taken. The more you clicked the more frustrated you became. You had all this organized a certain way. Not it was in nothing but disarray. Every second that passed, made it worse. Groaning stressed out.

Seeing the hurt on your face, hit Rin rather hard. He mixed up so many pictures no doubt. He wasn't sure if he accidentally deleted any of them. He was pressing buttons too. Each groan that escaped you made him feel even worse. He hadn't seen you like this since the very first day of school and when he told everyone he was leaving. Still going, until the top of your laptop was pushed down and closes. Looking at Rin. You weren't done yet and he just...He unplugs it and starts to pack your things up.

"Rin? I'm not done."you tell him, but he pays no mind. Which only upset you a bit more."Rin! I'm not done. Please let me fini-"

"You've done enough."He tells you. Picking up your bags."Let's go."

You shoot up from your seat about to say something but stop for some reason. Lowering your head."..."Soft whimpers left you. Rin stops and turns around."...T-There gone."You begin to cry."I-I can't find them. I-I-I can't find them...Ap-April...Everyone."Crying in your hands now. You looked over and over again in your files finding your most important pictures gone. Devastated by this, you became angry and now sad.

And Rin knew. Placing your stuff down he goes over to you, hearing your muffle cries. He reaches out and takes hold of your wrist pulling you into a concealing embrace. Outside the office, Aiichiro, Momo and Sosuke hear your cries. And felt bad, if not horrible.

"I never felt so bad."Aiichiro says disgusted and sad."We hurt May."

Looking to Momo who felt the same. His brother had told him about you and what happened to your sister. From the way his brother talked about his old girlfriend whom he loved greatly and the bond she and May had. Was amazing, to hear that he caused what she had left of April to be taken away. Made him feel so crummy.

"Aw man..."he peers inside. Watching you cry with Rin comforting you."..."

The train pulls into the station around 7:30, Rin waited with you. The doors open to take you back home. Your cheeks still tear stained. Rin looks down at you unsure if you were okay. He managed to calm you down."...Are you going to be okay?"You look up at him and just give him a small smile. Then look away. It didn't help really."...May,"he calls to you, before you loaded the train. You turn back to him. He just looks at you. Waiting to say something. But switches it at the last second."...Get home safe."The doors close, when wanted to say what he actually had.

He stood there watching the train leave. Sighing heavily to himself, thinking about the video April had made before he departure. Entrusting him and the others with you. Something he felt he wasn't living up too. Turning around he heads back to school.
