Shizuyuki has shut herself in her room for 3 days now ever since that day, she did not went to school or for her meals, Miyuki was the one who sent Shizuyuki her meals but when Miyuki return to get the tray, she notice that Shizuyuki had hardly touch her food,
"Yuki-chan…" Miyuki mutters. Miyuki drag Shizuma into her room, she glares at Shizuma,
"What happen, Shizuma?" she asks, Shizuma looks at Miyuki, she sighs,
"She is haunted by the past due to me…Miyuki…let me handle this, for this can go no longer," she says.
Nagisa and Tamao are the only ones allowed into Shizuyuki's room, Nagisa looks at Shizuyuki who sits on her bed with her keens pull to her chest by her encircling arms, Tamao sits on the bed, she then reaches out to holds her shoulder,
"You have to get well soon, Yuki-chan, both Yaya-chan and Hikari-chan misses you, they want to introduce you to someone," she says kindly. Shizuyuki gives her a weak smile,
"I will try," she mutters, Nagisa then goes up and holds Shizuyuki's hand,
"Please don't sound so down, is something wrong, Yuki-chan?" she asks, Shizuyuki blinks as the memories flood her once more. She manages to push them away before she snaps again, for someone like Nagisa; she is sharp at noticing such things, Shizuyuki then replies,
"Nothing…nothing is bothering me, Nagisa-chan…I am just very ill," Nagisa nods to her sadly. Shizuyuki smiles and pats her head,
"I need some rest, promise you two will visit me tomorrow?" she says, Nagisa looks at her and she nods,
"We will come tomorrow then, Yuki-chan, do rest more," Tamao says in a motherly manner.
As Tamao and Nagisa exists Shizuyuki's room, they see Shizuma standing at the door, before they could greet her, Shizuma places her finger to her lips, in a sign to keep quiet about the fact that she is there. Tamao and Nagisa bow to Shizuma as greeting, Shizuma signal them to come with her, she then heads to quiet corner, the two follow quietly,
"How is Yuki?" she asks, Tamao finds it strange but then Nagisa replies,
"Yuki-chan is fine but she seems a little down, like she is not ill." Shizuma then gives a bitter smile,
"I ensure you, Nagisa…Yuki is just ill," she says, Nagisa then nods,
"You two go ahead…" Shizuma then adds, Nagisa and Tamao nod, as they walk off, Tamao turns to Nagisa,
"Nagisa-chan, you go ahead before me, I have something on," Tamao says, Nagisa nods and she leaves. Tamao then goes back to where they left Shizuma,
"Shizuma-sama, what really happen to Yuki-chan? You are her elder sister, you should able to go in freely and check on Yuki-chan but why did you asks, both Nagisa and me, how is Yuki-chan?" she asks.
Shizuma blinks at Tamao's attack of questions; she then remembers Tamao is a very sharp child, she may be the next Elotie as many hopes,
"Yuki is in pain due to our past mainly my fault," Shizuma explains,
"Which why you didn't get to see her, she didn't let you into her room," Tamao adds, Shizuma nods. Tamao then glares at Shizuma,
"Shizuma-sama, are you going to run away from this like you have always do?" she asks, Shizuma blinks at her question,
"She is your sister, you cannot run away from this one, you are worry about her, she needs you and you need her as well," Tamao says, Shizuma looks at Tamao knowing she is right, Shizuma nods.
That evening, Shizuma stops outside of Yuki's room, she knocks on the door and she calls out to her sister,
"Yuki open up, let me in," Shizuyuki curls up tighter on her bed, she then snarls,
"Leave me alone," Shizuma frowns and she growls at her reaction. Shizuma bangs on the door,
"Yuki open up or I'm gonna break this door down," Shizuma yells, then Miyuki goes up to her,
"Shizuma, don't do that, let her be," she says,
"This can't go on anymore, Miyuki," Shizuma says. Miyuki looks at her friend and she then nods,
"I will get you the spare keys," she whispers, Shizuma nods to her friend, when Miyuki returns with the keys, Shizuma then says,
"Miyuki let me talk to Yuki alone, this is our problem and I was the cause, so let me settle it," Miyuki looks at her friend and nods. Shizuma opens the door and she goes in, she looks at Shizuyuki wrapping the blanket around her, curling up on her bed,
"Yuki…" she mutters, she then closes the door behind her, and Shizuyuki ignores her elder sister.
Shizuma goes up to her, she cross her arms and she glares at Shizuyuki, she then asks in a commanding tone,
"Yuki, what is wrong with you? What is that you want?" Shizuyuki glares at her elder sister with the last energy she has in her.
"What do I want is something you cannot give, onee-san…I wanted to love you, I wanted to protect you but you destroy it!" she bellows at Shizuma,
"I know it is wrong but I just can't help it, I can't help falling in love with my own elder sister," she cries. Soon tears fall from her cheeks, Shizuma looks at her, she goes up and pulls her sister into her arms,
"Gomen ne, Yuki…I am slow to realize the fact and I hurt you in such a painful manner, please forgive me, Yuki…I can't return you, your love but please understand that you are my sister, I love you as a sister and I will take care of you no matter what," Shizuma says. Shizuyuki leans onto her sister, Shizuma then says,
"I already have someone that I love but I am having a hard time letting go, please forgive me, Yuki," Shizuyuki looks at her sister and nods, Shizuma kisses Shizuyuki,
"Just to make you feel better," Shizuma adds and Shizuyuki blushes.
