Author: I suspect this will be my last add of the day/night, and then I have other crap to do. Hope you enjoy! This is Kain's point of view!

"Where is Ruka?" I asked Rima. "I can't find her."
"She locked herself in the first floor bathroom and won't let anyone in." Rima shrugged. "You can go try to get her, she says she's skipping class. No one knows what's wrong with her."
I made my way to the first floor bathroom and knocked. "Ruka? What's wrong?" The only answer I got was a sob. "Ruka, c'mon, it's just me, Akatsuki. Let me in."
"Go to hell!" Ruka sobbed again, and it hurt to hear it. "Everyone just leave me alone to die!"
Well, we hadn't seen this type of mood swing since Lord Kaname had rejected her for Yuuki.
"Ok, Ruka, you better move away from the door." I warned. "I'm going to kick it in."
"I am away from the door, asshole!" Ruka's voice was raw from crying.
I kicked in the door, and Ruka was sitting there in the tub, with no water in it, drying her eyes with a hand towel.
I was vaguely aware that I would be paying to get the door fixed, but I didn't care. "What happened?"
"My M-..." She started to cry all over again, dissolving into sobs. But I knew exactly who had caused this.
Her mother.
"C'mon, we're skipping class tonight." I reached into the tub and attempted to scoop her up.
"No! I want to die alone and unloved!" Ruka screamed. "Don't touch me!" She continued ranting about how she didn't deserve to be loved.
"You're being immature. Whatever your mother-" As soon as I said the word mother, she went back to sobbing. "Said, it can't be that bad."
"She...she..." Ruka couldn't seem to catch her breath. She curled in close to my chest and sobbed breathlessly.
"Ruka, breathe." I made my way up to her room and sat on her bed with her. "What did she say?"
"She wishes..." All cried out now, Ruka was hiccupping instead of sobbing. "That I was never born..." Hiccup. "Because..." Hiccup. "I'm a horrible daughter." Hiccup.
As much as I wanted to say that's because she's a bitch, it would've only made the situation worse.
"What would life be like if I was never born?" Ruka looked up at me with her big almond eyes, hiccups gone, but instead she was shaking now.
"Rima wouldn't have a great friend like you..." I began slowly. "Lord Kaname would be missing a follower... Aidou wouldn't have someone to argue with... and I would be lonely."
"Are you happy that I was born, Akatsuki?" She had a handful of my shirt now, and seemed to be clinging to me for dear life.
"Of course." I smiled at her. "I love you, Ruka. Of course I'm glad you were born."
"Love?" She asked as if it was a foreign concept. "You love me?"
"More than my own life." I kissed her forehead, something I hadn't done since we were kids. "Please don't listen to your mother, she's unforgivably and irrefutably cruel. There are people who love you, even if they're not in your family."
"I love you too Akatsuki... I just..." She trailed off and looked at me helplessly. "I don't know... if it's like that. I've never thought of you like that, I guess."
"I'll be here for you, forever. Anytime you need me, always." I murmured and held her closer.
It didn't take long. Two weeks later, when everyone was in the living room, including us, Ruka Souen grabbed me and kissed me.
There were varied reactions from the group, a wolf-whistle, some clapping, an "Oh geez". I wasn't paying all that much attention though, I had my Ruka, and she loved me like I loved her.
Author Note: This one didn't really come out right. The thing about Ruka's mother saying that is believable right? I love reviews and PMs, and thank you for reading!
