We were both sitting on her floor. I've never seen Seika cry so hard. I could tell she was beyond tired. Her eyes swollen, face pale like mine and she was sweating despite the cold weather. I sat across from her, not knowing what to say. I was at a loss for words. She was in a frail state. What was I suppose to do? Tell her? This was a matter that never was settled easy. She was young, popular and above all else, she was Mother's favorite. Even though she was spoiled, Mother would not let this slide. It would ruin her reputation, it would make her look like a bad parent. To let her youngest daughter fall pregnant. I began to grow curious.

"How long?" I asked, breaking the ice.

Seika snorted, "What do you mean?" I wouldn't blame her, for her mind being a mess.

"I mean...How far along are you?"

She wanted to burst into tears all over again, "I've missed my period for two months. I'm so stupid... I should have known the first month, but I thought it was normal. I didn't pay it any attention." So she's about two months pregnant, it's good because it'll be some time before she shows. Before Mother could find out.

I grabbed her hand, "It's gonna be okay. You have time before you show."

"It doesn't matter because she'll still find out. Mother will kill me..." She cried. I wanted to laugh at her comment. Mother did in fact, play a part in my death. However, this wasn't about me.

"I know, but I'll help you the best way I can."

She sniffled, "How?" I didn't know. Not at that time. I couldn't let her stay with Tomo and me, I was already to much for him to handle. Handling another girl with child would be to much stress. Also, we didn't have the funds to help her. I sat there silent, trying to think of something to make her feel better. One idea did cross my mind but...I didn't approve of it. She was to sensitive for me to bring it up, it was not the time.

"I don't know..." I admitted, "However, I'm on your side. We'll think of something, but until then, keep this a secret. I won't tell anyone." I hugged her again, "I won't let anyone hurt you." I was being very kind to her, beyond my surprise. After all she has done to me, I should be stabbing her in the back this time. Why was I being so nice? Perhaps, it was because I felt petty for her? For the life inside her. I didn't know, but I would hate to be in her position. I would want someone beside me. She didn't have that. I didn't have that when I was alive, the least I could do. Was give her a chance.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

I giggled, "Would you perhaps, want me to be rude?"

"I guess not." She finally smiled. This was good. With this, I knew she could handle herself without me around.

We went to the hallway, "Listen Seika, I have to go. I can't stay to long, but I will be back, okay?" She nodded, wanting to cry all over again. "Remember, you're not alone. It's going to be okay.

"Okay, Hara."

I opened the front door, but froze. Looking back over my shoulder, I had to ask her. It may be a sensitive question, but I had to know. "Who's the father?" The words barely escaped my lips. She was silent for several moments, tugging at her shirt. I could tell she didn't want to tell me. "Please."

"Hitachiin Hikaru."

It was dark and I was on my way back to Tomo's. I didn't complete what all I wanted to do today, that was because of some problems. I wanted to return home changed, a brand new Hara. That would have to wait though. So many things have happened to day, I'm surprised I'm still on my feet. Telling Oten everything about me. How I'm dead and that my family was a mess. I stood up for myself, even if it was to Tomo, it was a step in the right direction.

I finally made it home, I slowly knocked on the door with hesitation. Hopefully, he isn't still mad at me. I've had to much to handle today. All I wanted to do was lay around, despite me never being tired. He didn't answer. Why wasn't I surprised? I slowly opened the door, it wasn't locked. Anyone could just break in! Not like he had a lot of stuff in the first place. Sitting by the door was his fat cat, it was like he was waiting for me. He could barely meow as he rose, heading towards Tomo's room. He must be asleep. It is late.

I sat down on the couch, taking a deep breath. What was I going to do? Seika needs a savior and I feel like I'm the only one who can give it to her. I wouldn't want her making the same mistake I did. I never saw her as the one to take her own life, but neither did I at her age. I need to protect her and the baby. That is, if she wanted it. I was scared to ask her. This was not the moment to ask. Whatever she decided, I would support her. That was something she needed to decide on her own, however. I shouldn't bring up the idea.

Now, for the other problem, Hikaru. He's the father? He didn't seem like the type to just sleep with girls. When we were at the cabin, everyone was having a great time, including him. Nothing seemed off. Like he was concerned with anything. Perhaps, she hasn't told him yet. Would she do that? Keep it a secret? She just found out so there's that to consider. Will she tell him, that's the question. I'll need to ask her about that. He needs to know. Seika can't take care of a baby on her own and I would help her but... Who knows how much longer I have. Which, I need to hurry and finish everything. I need to take small steps first, one thing at a time. I will help Seika, then I will confront Mother. After all that is taken care of, I will confess my feels to Tamaki. I don't want any regrets. Even if he doesn't accept my feelings, at least I told him. Once, that is finished. I want to know why I am still here. To find the reason I was brought back to life.

"Hara?" I heard a voice from Tomo's room. I peaked in, he was wide awake, reading a book?! Tomo reads?! He saw my shocked expression. "Did you knock? I'm sorry, I didn't answer. I was finishing up this chapter." He laughed, "I know, it's funny seeing the bad boy reading."

I spoke, "I was a bit surprised."

"Figured. It's all good though. So how was your soul searching journey?" He said coolly. I could see past it though. His room was mess, his eyes red.

"It was very eye opening." This was true for many things.

He sat up, closing his book. "I'm glad you're home." He said sincerely.

Looking away, not wanting to seem flustered. Whenever he was like that, it made me all confused. "I'm not finished changing." I spoke, "I have a long ways to go, but thank you for being by my side." Bowing, seeing my hair brush the floor.

"Enough with that," He blushed. "I've seen some weird stuff so you don't have to worry." He was referring to that night.

"Should I let you sleep?"

He stretched, getting up. "Nah, I need to get up anyway. I have a meet too go to." Huh? He's never mentioned this before. He saw my questioning gaze. "I have to keep my image, don't I? I'll just be gone for a few hours. So get some rest and we'll go out tomorrow. Celebrate your new change." He laughed. I wasn't satisfied with his answer. It left me with more questions than answers. I knew he wasn't the most respected student. However, I didn't see him doing shady business. He fixed his hair and scoffed at his red eyes. I wonder why they were like that?

Following him to the front door once he gathered his things. "Don't wait up." Joking around as he shut the door. I rushed to his window, seeing him disappear around the corner. The feeling of curiosity rose in me, it was the strongest it has ever been. I knew it wasn't a smart thought to follow him, to figure out what kind of stuff Tomo was into. What kind of guy was he? I wanted to know more about him. It was decided. Rushing out, I quickly caught up to him. I was a safe distance, behind some trash cans. I followed for quite some time until I saw a bright light behind a wooden fence. He went into the area, then loud cheers could be heard. I just had to know what was going on.

Approaching the entrance, I could see a huge group of students gathered around. Everyone was talking among themselves. There was cigarette smoke everywhere and booze. It made me uncomfortable. This wasn't my kind of scenery to hang around. I easily spotted Tomo's white hair. He was talking to two huge boys; they were laughing. What are they all doing here? I sneaked into the crowd, no one paid any mind to me. I wanted to get closer to Tomo, but I needed to stay safely out of his sight. He would be very upset to see that I followed him.

"Okay everybody!" A boy announced. The crowd grew silent, all eyes on him. A sloppy circle formed around him. "Tonight let me welcome Tomo back! You've been gone for while!" Tomo walked to the center of the circle, looking cool as ever.

He shrugged, "I had stuff to do." In the circle was the old Tomo. The one that had no compassion and had no problem causing problems to others. I made me sad to see him this way, even though I knew the real him. You could hear female screams from crowd. They all must really like him.

"Come on already!" A angry man yelled.

The announcer once again rang out, "Tonight we are bringing back the good days! We basic round fighting!" This sent chills down my spine. Fighting? Who's going to fight and why? This can't be for fun? ""With Tomo returning, does he still have his fighting spirit? Is he still supreme?" Oh no... He can't be.

He stepped forward, looking at all the hungry eyes around "I'd like to see one of you jokes fight me. No one here can hurt me and it'd be a waist to give my title to kids like you." This made many of the boys yelled bad words towards him. "Who am I going against first?" Stepping forward was a rather large bald headed male. He had scars all over his face and body. How did he get that way?

"I'll break you." Was all he said, readying his fist. Tomo didn't look fazed, relaxed as ever. I covered my mouth, feeling like I was going to vomit. He can't really be like this? A fighter? Is he like a the leader of this whole thing? I was so confused and it made me feel even worse. I knew him as the kind and caring friend who's by my side. However, that wasn't only part of him. He was also this tough and careless boy who showed no petty to others.

Everyone was cheering, ready for fist to fly. What was I going to do? I didn't want to see him get hurt. How could all these people be okay with this? What if someone got seriously hurt! Looking through the crowd I noticed a familiar ginger. It couldn't be. What was he doing here? It was either Hikaru or Kaoru. I may not be able to tell them apart, but you couldn't mistake them for anyone else. Now they both didn't seem like the type to hang around areas like this. I watched as he looked around with a purpose. Quickly he saw his target. He ran up to a tall boy, getting closer to them I saw it was Takashi! What are they doing here?!
