Tohru's P.O.V

I frown, "gomen...I hadn't been aware she'd gotten so sick." I look down at my hands as I speak, "she probably knew she would be sick from all the effort she puts in and that's why she hadn't wanted me to do it." Someone's hand is placed on my head. "It's alright, if you want her to get better you have to stay healthy as well for her sake." Yuki explains.

"H-Hai..." I mumble and stand up. "There's been a landslide." Yuki tells Shigure and I look at them in surprise. "Yes not too far from here either." Shigure comments.

After seeing Okaa-San and all our things buried underneath the landslide, I almost collapse. "G-Gomen Nee-Chan.... A-All our stuff...." Her hand rests on my cheek, "its fine Imouto-Chan. I'll fix i-it tomorrow." I shake my head, "b-but you're sick! You shouldn't be-!" She smiles at me and I be quiet.

"Even if it's a large task, I would never ask you to do something l-like that." I tear up and she pats the seat next to her. "Come on Imouto-Chan." I smile slightly and lie down next to her. She almost instantly falls asleep. "She cares very much about you, you know." Shigure states next to us.

"Hai....she's always been worried about me. Both her and Okaa-San. Even though she never got much attention and was constantly left places because me and Okaa-San forgot about her, she never got mad at us...." I explain sadly.

Izu's P.O.V

I wake up slowly, looking down to see my sister in my arms. "Hello Miss Honda. I see you're feeling better." Yuki greets, walking over to us. "I-I uh...are th-those our ba-bags?" I frown, 'Tohru said our stuff was crushed under the landslide but that would mean....' I gasp in surprise and look at Yuki, "y-you didn't..." He nods with a smile, placing Okaa-San's picture next to Tohru.

"B-But y-you didn't h-have to I-I could've d-done-." He stops me with a smile, "trust me. Its alright Miss Honda." I look down with an embarrassed blush, people shouldn't have to take care of me.... "Oh, Miss Honda I see you're up and it looks like your fever has gone down." Shigure comments, walking towards the house with our bags.

"We want to know if you'd like to live with us." Shigure continues and my face goes fully red. "I-I don't kn-know. I-I mean w-we could b-become a b-burden and I-I d-don't want T-Tohru to f-feel any d-different." I play with a strand of her hair. "I-I'm supposed t-to be protecting h-her b-but I keep f-failing..."

A hand is placed on my head and I look up, "I think you're doing just fine Miss Honda. You made sure Honda-Chan didn't lose any sleep or get sick even when you did. That's an example of protecting her." I feel tears come to my eyes and I look down, "a-arigatō..." I feel a shuffling behind me. "Nee-Chan...?" I hear Tohru call and I don't look at her.

"I'm sorry for getting sick Imouto-Chan, I must've frightened you..." I speak softly and without a stutter to Tohru. "Its fine Nee-Chan. Now we have to find another place to stay." Tohru speaks, she usually picks the place while I pay and set up. "Actually Miss Honda, you both can stay here for awhile." Yuki speaks.

"Eh? But we don't want to be a burden!" Tohru shouts and I sweat-drop, she is so worrisome but I can't talk because I said the same thing. Shigure does that weird laugh and smiles, "you can stay here." I frown. "W-Well how about I c-cook and cl-clean?" Shigure's eyes light up at my offer. 'What have I gotten myself into?...' I think with a doom filled aura.

"I can help her as well since she won't let me get a job." Tohru teases and I sigh but nod. "Fine...." Tohru looks at the time. "Oh no we're late!" I jump at her exclamation. "Miss Honda you can't go to school in that!" Yuki stops her. "What happened to your uniform Imouto-Chan." My voice is dark and they all shiver.

"Uh...heh I got it dirty at the landslide yesterday." I place a hand on my head and pass her a dress. "Put this on. I'll wash your clothes before we get to school. Head out when you're ready and I'll meet you at school." I state and she nods. Quickly going to change as I get ready to leave. "She didn't stutter once...." Shigure and Yuki stare at me dumbfounded.

"Wh-What?" I regain my stutter. "I see so you only stutter when you're aware of others." Shigure states bluntly and I cross my arms, looking away in embarrassment. "Here Nee-Chan." I take the clothes and look at Yuki. "C-Can you wait f-for her? I-I don't w-want her w-walking alone..." He nods.

I wave and leave. I don't feel as bad as I did before but today I have to go to work. "Honda-San? What are you doing here, where's Tohru?" I almost frown but stop myself. "Imouto-Chan i-is on h-her way, h-her u-uniform g-got fil-lthy s-so I'm w-washing i-it." They nod and I walk off. As I wait for the uniform to finish, I sigh.

'I love my sister but I wish for what she had... Friends on first-name terms. People who worry about her.... Nevertheless, I have to focus on her just like Okaa-San always did. Tohru is going to succeed.... Me? I'll be...there just not the main attraction.' I put my headphones in my ears as I finish the clothes.

Folding them up, I place them in a pile. Smiling at the song I'm listening to, most people would be surprised in my taste of music but.... As long as Tohru doesn't mind, I don't care. My hips sway to the beat as I smile, picking up the clothes. Hands grab my hips, "who knew silent girl could move like this?"

A boy, I don't know his name I never pay attention. "P-Please l-let m-me g-go...." I speak softly. He smirks and I feel his grip tighten. "So you can talk...I wonder if-." Someone cuts him off, "let her go." The voice is dark and the boy immediately let's me go. "Woah....sorry Yuki, I wasn't doing anything..."

Yuki glares at him, "get out of here." I hold Tohru's clothes close to me with my bangs shrouding my face as the boy leaves quickly. "Are you alright Miss Honda?" He asks, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Y-Yes, I'm f-fine." He sighs and nods, "alright. Miss Honda sent me in here to get you, I'm glad she sent me now."

I look at him, "y-you know y-you don't h-have to call m-me b-by my l-last n-name. Y-You c-can call m-me I-Izu if th-that m-makes it e-easier." He smiles at me, "okay. Thanks Izu-Chan." I blush but nod as he places a hand on my back, "we'd better get back to Miss Honda." I nod and let him lead me out the room.

"Here Imouto." I hand Tohru her clothes and back away, "I'll s-see you l-later." She frowns but smiles, "okay. See you in class Nee-Chan." I nod and turn, running off. "Why don't you two ever walk together? You're in the same class." I ignore Uo's voice and run down a hallway, stopping in a empty hallway as I slide down a locker and bury my face in my hands.
