Mei returned from the hospital and arrived at her mansion. She got out the car and walked to the door. She let out a deep sigh before entering the mansion. Her grandfather was waiting for her on the couch and he glared at her
"Mei...we need to talk" Her grandfather said as he stood up from the couch and glared at Mei
"What is it about grandfather?" Mei asked
"You know very well what's about..." He said
"Whatever it is I don't know what you're talking about" Mei said
"Don't play dumb Mei. I got a call from Mr. Taniguchi. He said he saw you with his daughter...is that true?" He asked
"Yes" Mei said
"What the hell? I thought we agreed on not seeing her ever again. That girl is not good for you...and besides...your both girls. What do you think the people will say about that? You and that girl..." He said
"We only talked. We did nothing else but that..." Mei said
"You better not be trying to get back with that girl. We've discussed this Mei...you are inheriting the Academy and will get married. Don't think about getting back with her" Her grandfather said sternly
"I understand" Mei said and walked away going upstairs
"And Mei...you better stay away from that blonde girl too..." Her grandfather said. Mei just gritted her teeth as she went upstairs to her room. She got inside and slammed the door shut. She leaned against the door and sighed deeply. She began to remember about Harumin then clenched her fists tightly
It wasn't my fault that happened...I didn't want our relationship to end like this. Fuck...why did I fell for an idiot like her? Why did I even talk to her? She barely gave me any advice...
"I'll just tell you one thing...you should think about how the other person feels"
Hmm? Think about her feelings...
Mei just looked down on the floor and remembered Yuzu's expression. She grabbed her head and trembled
She hates me...damnit...

Meanwhile at the Momokino mansion, Damon was pissed at his wife for being with the daughter of the psychopathic bastard
"How many times do I have to tell you...I never liked him" Celeste said
"Stop with all your fuckin lies. You always enjoyed his company whenever he came by...you always smiled at him" Damon said
"Yeah and?" Celeste asked
"Why did you like him? He tried to kill me!" Damon shouted
"It wasn't his fault! He's been abused and hurt! All he needed was someone to be there by his side!" Celeste shouted back. Damon just gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly
"Why an earth are you on his side? He could've killed me...he could've even killed Himeko. Your daughter...do you not care for her?" Damon asked
"Of course I do...but you have to understand that it wasn't his fault. Most of it is mine...for hurting his feelings" Celeste said
"Because of our marriage...right?" Damon asked
"I'm done talking..." Celeste said and walked away
"You're my wife. You're mine" Damon said. Celeste stopped at the middle of the stairs and glared at him
"The only reason I'm with you is because of my parents forcing me to marry you. I'm only doing this for my family and Himeko..." Celeste said and headed to her room
"I bet you rather have that girl as your daughter..." Himeko spoke. Celeste just turned to look at Himeko giving her a slight glare
"That's not true" Celeste said
"Stop lying...you treat her far way better than me. You never gave me that motherly affection..." Himeko said as she growled. Celeste just walked up to her then looked at her
"Act like a Momokino..." Celeste said and turned around to leave
"Is that all you have to say to me?!" Himeko exclaimed
"If you get to know more about Shai you'll end up liking her" Celeste said before entering her room. Himeko just stood there and clenched her fists tightly
Flashback
Himeko just whimpered and trembled in fear as she hid in her room. Her parents kept arguing and shouting at each other
"Shut up already! We both know I was forced to get married with you!" Celeste shouted
"And you accepted it so you have to listen to me and tell me everything about what you do" Damon said
"I only accepted just because I had to do it for my family. I don't understand why my parents made me end up with an asshole" Celeste said
"Watch your mouth" Damon said. Suddenly Celeste grabbed Damon's tie pulling him close and glared at him with her dark violet eyes
"You're the one who better watch their mouth..." Celeste said sternly and harshly. Damon stared at her eyes and felt a shiver down his spine as he felt this feeling of fear. Celeste released him and walked away heading to her room. Himeko whimpered softly as she met with her mother's serious eyes
"U-uhm...mom I u-uh..." Himeko mumbled and trembled. Celeste just placed her hand on her head patting it softly
"It's nothing sweetie. Everything is okay..." Celeste said and walked away. Himeko just looked at her and went to the stairs to look at her father. Damon just slammed his fist on the table and let out a groan
"That asshole really needs to back the hell off..." Damon said. Himeko just headed back to her room then sat down on her bed. She teared up and looked down as she began to cry
'Why do they have to keep fighting...?'
End Of Flashback
Himeko just went back to her room and her pet dog Pucchi barked. Himeko looked down at her doggy then smiled as she kneeled down and carried Pucchi in her arms. She sat down on the bed and held her dog closely. Pucchi barked softly and licked her chin. Himeko just smiled and petted Pucchi softly
"You're always there for me Pucchi..." Himeko whispered

Morning came and the girls woke up. Of course Matsuri was just upset and didn't want to eat at all
"Hey Matsuri...you okay?" Yuzu asked
"Of course not...why should I be happy? I have no one..." Matsuri said mumbling the last part
"Don't worry Matsuri it'll be okay" Yuzu said
"Pfft...yeah right" Matsuri said and kept laying down in bed
"Leave her alone Yuzuko. She needs more time" Shai said
"I just wanted to help..." Yuzu mumbled
"I know but let Matsuri have her alone time..." Shai said. It was a bit quiet since the girls just stayed silent not knowing what to talk about. After some quiet time there was a knock on the door
"Come in" Yuzu said. The door opened and Phila came in with her other friends
"Hey guys" Phila said
"Hi Phila" Yuzu said as she smiled softly
"Hey" Shai said. Phila looked at Matsuri and walked up to her
"Hey Matsuri how are you?" Phila asked
"Fuck off" Matsuri mumbled
"Matsuri be nice" Yuzu said. Matsuri just covered herself and stayed silent
"Uhm...leave her alone. She's going through a bit of stuff..." Yuzu said
"Oh okay well anyways I want you to meet my friends Hinria Qin and Cyndi Lauper" Phila said introducing them
"Hi it's nice to meet you" Hinria said and smiled
"U-uhm hi.." Cyndi said as she stood behind Hinria
"Hehe it's nice to meet you too" Yuzu said
"Nice to meet you all" Shai said. Of course Matsuri kept staying silent and just wanted to be alone
"Matsuri I'm sorry for what happened to your grandmother..." Phila said
"Shut up" Matsuri said
"Matsuri they only want to help cheer you up" Yuzu said
"I never asked to be cheered up so just leave me the fuck alone" Matsuri said as she sat up with tears rolling down her cheeks. Yuzu's eyes widen and stood up from the hospital bed holding her stomach
"M-matsuri..." Yuzu said and tried to reach towards her face but Matsuri slapped her hand away
"Just stop it already god damnit. I don't need your fuckin help or pity...it happened so what's the point..." Matsuri said and cried
"Wh-why did grandma l-lied...sh-she had to t-tell me...she had to say something! If only I stayed home with her...I-I could've saved her..." Matsuri said and clenched her fists tightly. Yuzu just stepped back sitting down on her bed. The other girls just stood there feeling a bit awkward
"U-uhm I'm sorry for coming here" Phila said
"No it's fine..." Yuzu said and laid down in bed. A knock was heard on the door and the nurse walked in
"Uhm Matsuri Mizusawa they're here for you" The nurse said
"Wh-what?" Matsuri asked
"They're here for you...your mother and your sisters" The nurse said. Matsuri's eyes widen and trembled
"S-sisters?" Matsuri asked
"They're waiting. Can you walk?" The nurse asked as she walked up to her. Matsuri nodded and stood up
"I'm fine...I don't need help..." Matsuri said. The nurse nodded and handed her clothes
"If you want there is a bathroom right across from this room" The nurse said
"Thanks" Matsuri mumbled. The nurse nodded and walked away leaving the room
"Well...guess I'll see you guys later..." Matsuri said looking down and walked to the door
"I hope you feel better Matsuri" Yuzu said. Matsuri just stopped and turned around to look at her then gave her a weak small smile
"Yeah you too" Matsuri said and left
"Poor Matsuri...I hope she feels better soon" Phila said
"Don't worry she just needs sometime alone. Matsuri will be back to her old self soon" Shai said
"At least she has them" Yuzu said
"Who's them?" Phila asked
"Her new family I suppose..." Yuzu said
"Hopefully her family makes her feel better..." Shai said
"Yeah...I hope" Yuzu said

Matsuri got changed and walked out the bathroom. She walked down the hallway and stopped as she saw the three Taniguchis waiting for her. Matsuri just clenched her fists tightly and trembled. She felt nervous and scared for some odd reason that she didn't know why she felt that way
It'll be okay. Mama will take care of me...everything will be okay...
Matsuri took a deep breath before walking up to her new family
"H-hi..." Matsuri said avoiding eye contact. Soha looked at her as she stood up and hugged her tightly
"It'll be okay Matsuri. I'm here....you can let it out" Soha whispered. Matsuri teared up and hugged her back
"Wh-why...why...didn't sh-she say anything?" Matsuri asked as she began to cry. She buried her face on her shoulder and cried. Soha held her then carried her
"Let's get going" Soha said. Harumin and Mitsuko stood up from their seats and walked with their mother heading to the car. Soha placed Matsuri in the passenger seat and Harumin sat next to her while Mitsuko sat in the front next to her mother. Matsuri kept looking down and leaned against the side of the door. Harumin turned around to look at her and saw her tears roll down her cheeks. Harumin held her hand and Matsuri trembled as she looked at her. Harumin cupped her cheek then wiped her tears away. Matsuri blushed deeply and stared at Harumin's beautiful hazel eyes
"You okay Matsuri?" Harumin asked. Matsuri nodded and closed her eyes feeling Harumin's warmth from her hand. Matsuri placed her hand on top of Harumin's hand that was on her cheek. Matsuri opened her eyes and stared at her
Shit...she's right in front of me...my heart keeps beating for her. I love her...I do...I really do...I want...I want...to kiss her...
"I love you...Onee-chan" Matsuri whispered before leaning in and crashed her lips against hers. Harumin's eyes widen and blushed deeply as she trembled
Wh-what the hell is she doing!?
Harumin immediately reacted and pushed her away. Matsuri looked at her and smiled a bit
"Did Onee-chan like it?" Matsuri asked
"Wh-what the hell w-was that all about?" Harumin asked in her whisper voice as she wiped her mouth
"I-I...I love you" Matsuri said as she confessed. Harumin just stared at her with pure shock and looked away
What just happened? Did she just...confessed?
Harumin touched her lips and began to remember how Mei always kissed her then blushed deeply. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth
Damnit...
