NEXT MORNING

"Kala…wake up…it's time to go to school!" Shigure was shaking Kala awake. "Come on, the other's are already getting ready, and Momiji and Haru are already here too." Kala blinked awake and slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Ok." She smiled and stood up, then she reached around for something to grab. Shigure offered her his hand.

"What is it?" He sounded worried.

"I…um…is Hatori here yet?" She avoided her feelings.

"No, but he called a while ago, now, please get ready." He left her standing in an odd position, he never did that, he always made sure she was stable before letting her go. "Is he mad? Still?" she thought as she felt around for her stuff. "Oh no…I can't find anything!" she blushed, feeling stupid, "What do I do?" She took a deep breath and decided to call for help, but who? Who's closest or who could hear her? "KYO!" she screamed, sure enough she heard footsteps seconds after. He rushed to the door and opened it, panting.

"What is it?" he asked, Kila could feel him walking towards her.

"I…can't find my things…I'm sorry!" she said with her head down.

"Oh, don't scare me like that ever again!" he scolded while gently moving her to the right. "Here, it's the girl uniform that we got you." He put it in her hands and walked to the door.

"Thanks Yo!" she smiled, her gaze met his, even if she was blind, she could see other people's feelings.

"You're welcome…hurry up!" he said shutting the door and running off.

"He's always like that, always have, he's so kind and gentle, but he stops himself from showing that side." Kala thought as she changed into her uniform. Once finished, she put her PJ's on her bed and walked awkwardly towards the door, she felt around for the knob. She suddenly stopped, frozen, her hand clutching her heart. "He's not here! Not anymore! He's not going to burst into the room and yell good morning. He's gone, forever!" She began to cry, sliding down against the cold door onto her knees. "He's not with me anymore!" she cried out load. No one heard. They were all down stairs. Even Kyo. "He's…gone! GONE!" she screamed.

"Kala?!" Came a voice outside the door.

"NO! He's gone! DADDY! Come back! I want you back!" She fell was on her hands and knees, begging to get her father back.

"Kala? Let me in!" Kala was blocking the door, she wasn't really hearing the person.

"Daddy!" she cried. More footsteps were making their way closer to her room.

"Kal, what's the matter?" It was Kyo, she recognized his voice, but she didn't really hear it.

"Please Kala, let us in!" Yuki.

"Daddy isn't here! Where is he? Why did he go away? When is he coming back?"

"Kala! Let us in or I'll open the door by force!" The unrecognizable voice yelled, fiercely.

"Kala?" Shigure's voice came, who is that other person?

"Who…who…is that?" Kala asked, opening the door, revealing her on the ground, on her knees, face wet with tears and eyes swollen.

"You…don't know who I am?" It was a woman?

"N…no." She let out more tears, uncontrollably as she realized who it was. "G…granny?"

"Yes." The lady smiled, it was fake, everyone could tell but smiled anyway.

"What…what do you want?" Kala stood up and whipped her eyes.

"I want to take…"

"NO!" instantly when hearing the word "take" she slammed the door again, this time locking it.

"Kala!" All of the ones outside yelled.

"You can't take me! I don't want to go with you!" she yelled, facing opposite the door. "You hate me! Why do you want me all of a sudden?"

"I…I don't hate you!" the way she said hate, didn't convince anyone.

"That's all I needed to hear." A man's voice said.

"No, she has to go with me! She's my granddaughter!"

"But the girl is at an age where she can consciously choose. She didn't seem to want to go with you so, I'm sorry, there isn't anything I can do." His voice was fading as he spoke, he was leaving.

"Kala, I'm glad your ingrate of a father is dead! He was worthless! Same as you! Your mother made the right choice leaving the two of you!" With that, she made a run for it, leaving everyone else shocked.

"Kala, that isn't true! You know…" the door was opening, Kala was smiling!

"I know, and she lied, she loved me, but my money was all she really wanted." Kala laughed, half heartedly.

"Kala?" Kyo came closer to her. She took his hand and gently squeezed it.

"Thank you. I feel better now, but, I think that we are all late for school." She smiled, it was a real one this time, Tohru noticed that it was the same as last time.

"I don't think that there will be school for today for you guys. It was a tough morning so…maybe not…yea let's go to school." Shigure changed his mind when he saw the look on Kala's face.

"Ok." They all said. Shigure or really Hatori drove three of them to school while Kyo and a reluctant Haru along with a stubborn Yuki, walked to school. Kala, Tohru and Momiji arrived on time…well earlier than the others. On that day, Kala realized that she wasn't going to have her father around anymore and that she had others that could help her through everything. She was happy, for a while at least.
