"Ryu-chan!" She announced,

"Ryu-chan, slow down!"

"92 Seri, and the Seguchi house both caught fire last night! How can I slow down?

"You're worried about Shuichi?"

He went pink. How did his younger sister always know?

"I-I ..."

"Well?"

"I just ..."

( At School )

"Ooi Ryu-chan!" A males voice greeted in the hallway. Ryuichi turned around to see a pink haired male approaching.

"Shu-chan! Are you alright?"

"Fine, why?"

"The paper ... It said ...!"

"Ah, that ... Yeah, I learned something, don't forget to blow out the candle before you go to sleep."

"It was in your room?"

"Yeah ... Luckily, when it fell, it didn't fall towards me."

"Any burns?"

"Just one."

"Where at?"

"Hand," he held it out. Near his wrist was a curricular burn mark.

"My doorknob was hot ... I checked."

"I see that ... So, how is everyone?"

"They're all great. My mom and dad are gonna stay at my Aunt's ... Maiko's gonna stay at one of her friends houses ..."

"What about you?"

"I still need to find a friend who can take me in ..."

"You haven't found one yet?"

"Not yet. All of their mom's say 'no,' so you can guess, I'm at a downfall ..."

"Yeah, I'll bet ... Uhm, hang on a second Shu, ok? I've got to call my dad about something real quick."

"K."

Ryuichi walked out of Shuichi's earshot and called his dad on his cellphone. The conversation didn't take long at all. A minute later he was back with his friend.

"No need to search."

"Hm? Ryu, what're you talking about?"

"My dad said you can stay with us."

He turned pink at Ryuichi's words,

"Thanks Ryu, I ... I look forewards to it."

( MEANWHILE )

She rushed over to her friend,

"Keiko! Keiko!"

"Jiji-chan?"

"Keiko-chan! Keiko! Keiko!!" She stopped in front of her, leaning over forewards, hands on her legs, panting.

"Jiji-chan? What's the matter?"

"Keiko-chan! I heard about the fire that started at your house! Are you alright?"

"Mmm-hmmm, fine. No harm came to me, or Tohma, or Mika. We're all doing great."

"Thank goodness, I was so worried when I heard the news."

"You were?"

"Well ... I mean, uhm ... You see ... It just so happens that ... Uhm, well ..."

"You're stuttering Jiji-chan."

"Go-Gomen Nasai!"

"No, don't apologize ... I think your little stutters are cute ..."

"Cu-Cute?"
