"But..why can't I see her Father? She's a nice girl! She's my friend!"

"I don't care Yuyuko. She came here without us knowing. You know what she could have done to you?" Tomari said to his daughter.

"I know! But..I don't even have that many friends. Yukari is the only one who actually comes to see me."

"Why don't you go out and go see your other friends then?" Tomari said, trying to get Yuyuko to stop seeing Yukari due to a rule of the household.

"I can't go out alone! Someone is always following no matter where I go..."

"Your mother and I care for you Yuyuko, that's why we do that. And why do you think we rarely leave you alone? You remember that happened, right?"

Yuyuko slowly nodded. That day was still burnt into her head. "Yukari was...she was the one who calmed me down. I couldn't be happier to see her then." She said, her voice low. "I just want to see her when I want Father. Is that so much to ask for?"

Tomari sighed lightly and put a hand against his forehead. "Yuyuko, I'm sorry, but rules are rules. I cannot allow you to see her." He said.

Yuyuko bit her lip to keep herself from yelling in anger. "But..there has to be an exception Father, do you know how I felt after what happened? I just needed someone to just be there for me and she was!"

"I know she was but I'm the head of the household and what I say goes, Yuyuko!" Tomari said, raising his voice.

Yuyuko growled a bit, then stormed off past him and out into the fields. "Yuyuko, get back here this instant!"

Yuyuko ignored her father, storming off to the front gates to leave. "If he won't let me see my friend..I'll find her myself." she muttered. She looked around to make sure she could get a quick get away if the need arose. She seen Youki and Youmu busy with some gardening, unaware of what was going on.

"Yuyuko, you get back here right away!" Tomari yelled as he walked outside after Yuyuko.

Youki looked up. "Master Tomari, what's wrong?" he asked, getting up and looking at him.

"Youki! Stop Yuyuko!" He ordered, the male half ghost turning and seeing Yuyuko as she bolted past the front gates. Youki looked over, quickly running over in a blink of an eye, stopping in the middle of the pathway out of the Saigyouji property.

"Youki..please move out of the way..." Yuyuko asked as she stopped. Thought she was in a rage, her manners were still kicking in towards the gardener.

"I'm afraid I cannot Miss Yuyuko. Master Tomari ordered me to keep you from leaving, so I must...I am sorry about this though, now please, go back to your father."

Yuyuko sighed and slipped her fan out of her kimono sleeve as always, and opened it, fanning herself off. "Fine...just so I won't have to hear him complain and yell anymore..." she said, walking back to her father, who was glaring at her. She walked past him and into her room, slamming the door shut.

Tomari sighed as she brushed past him, turning to see her shut herself in her room. "I'm doing this for your own good, you know that." he said, walking to the door.

"Liar..." Yuyuko muttered, pressing her back against the door.

Hikari, who had been listening to the commotion, walked up to the door, next to her husband and knocked gently. "Yuyuko dear...you know your Father only means the best, right?"

"No he doesn't..." Yuyuko said, muttering it. "But..Mother..talk some sense into Father, you understand, don't you?"

"I do...but I have to agree with him this time." Hikari said, waiting for what her daughter would say in response.

Yuyuko bit her lip and closed her eyes. "I thought you would understand me..." She said, walking away from the door and lying down on her bed, crushed now that her own mother wouldn't side with her. "I just want a friend!" She yelled.

"Yuyuko...can we come in and talk, I think it would be better if-" Tomari started.

"No! Leave me alone!" She yelled, burying her face in a large pillow.

Her parents looked at each other, then slowly walked away. Light sobs could be heard from Yuyuko's room.

"I just want them..to go away..." She said through light sobs. She lifted her head slowly, hearing two faint gongs, like a large bell being struck. She looked around, seeing two pink butterflies float into her room from the direction of the youaki cherry blossom tree. Her eyes opened in shook. "N-no!" She finally managed to say as the two butterflies floated around Yuyuko. "Go..go away!" She understood that the butterfly was the thing that killed the man, and saying that she wanted her parents gone must has triggered the appearance of them. "Please..please leave! I don't want you here!" she said, still in shock as they started slowly for her door. She jumped off the bed, but in such shock that she hit the ground, only slowly getting to her knees instead of bolting for them. She scrambled for the door and flung it open and the butterflies slowly floated outside to Yuyuko's doomed parents. "Come..come back! Don't do this!" She begged, clawing her way over to them.

"Alright Youki, thank you for before." Tomari said, watching as the gardener called over his granddaughter.

"It was my duty to do as you said...but if I might say something, I suggest you be less strict on Miss Yuyuko. She seemed torn."

"I know, but I can't just suddenly be less strict but, I guess you are right. I'll see if I can talk to her." Tomari said.

Youki nodded. "Thank you Master Tomari. Now then, I must take my leave." He said, kneeling down. "Say goodbye Youmu."

The young girl yawned lightly and rubbed her eyes. "Good..bye.." She said sleepily, the adult smiling.

"Good bye to you too Youmu, sleep well." Hikari said, seeing Youki pick Youmu up and walk away with her. The two Saigyoujis walked into their house in time to see Yuyuko crawling after something they couldn't see in tears. "Yuyuko..is something wrong?" Hikari said, kneeling down.

Yuyuko slowly looked up, crying hysterically as she seen the butterflies make their way through her parents, exiting blood covered. "Mother..Father...I'm..I'm so sorry!" she cried.

"What are you ta-" Tomari started. He clenched his chest above his heart.

Yuyuko quickly covered her ears. "I'm so sorry!" She yelled over and over, trying to drown out the screams of her parents. The same thing that happened to the male, the blood pouring from him, happened to them. Her apologizing slowly stopped and she looked up slowly, laying her eyes on her parent's dead bodies. She slowly got up, blood on her kimono, but she didn't care. She looked around the house slowly, spotting a set of knives that hung in their sheath. She reached over for them and took them out of their cases and walked outside. "You..." She said as she walked into the gardens. She gripped the knives and stopped in front of the tree. "You wanted this...you called me to die, but instead you use my family first..that man was a test, wasn't he?" She asked the tree. "Well..too bad..I'm not letting you use me...never again!" She yelled, holding the blades up to her neck. "The legends are true...about this tree..." she said in a low voice. She pressed the blades against her skin, feeling a light trickle of blood. "Good..good bye Yukari...Youki..Youmu...I'm sorry." She said, quickly slitting her throat. She feel to her knees. She dropped the knives and clutched her throat. She felt the pain, but at the same time, she felt lighter. "No more...pain.." she mouthed falling on her back and looking up at the tree. She eyes rolled up to the sky, gray clouds slowly rolling in. The blood pooled around her body as her vision slowly faded. The wind whipped around a bit, the blood following it's path, leaving behind two large wings, angels wings. As Yuyuko's body went cold and her vision faded, she smiled lightly, knowing now she wouldn't cause anyone pain.
