"Achoo." I sneeze getting me to rub my nose as the kids around me surround my bed.

"Onee-san, you have a cute sneeze!" one the boys said getting me smile a bit.

"Thanks?" I reply not knowing how to with that comment.

It seems like it's been three days since the fire at the school happened and right now, the school is still rebuilding the burned parts. And in those three days, I was unconscious the whole time. Waking up just recently, I asked if they do not inform my awakening to any of my families and friends for now as I don't really want to hear a full mouth of lectures from them. Sakura and Jessica didn't have to go to the hospital as they weren't injured like me. Yup, somehow, without me noticing, I got injured. It seems like I sprained my ankle as a few parts of my skin is burned but will quickly heal back to normal soon. Watching as the kids play around the room, I smile as I easily got along with them in just a few minutes.

"Onee-san. Can we go outside?" One of the girls ask getting me to smile even more just to keep the happy aura around them.

"Sure, let's go." I get off my bed ignoring the pain striking through my body as I follow them out of my room to get outside.

Following them out of the hospital, the hit of warm air strikes as they open the door getting me to breathe in the fresh air I have missed. Taking a seat at one of the benches which is inside an open garden with walls around it, the window behind me shines down past me as I smile. One of the girls stop playing and jogs over to me.

"Onee-san, you look like an angel!" she compliments shocking me as the others then notice this too and comes over surrounding me.

"Oh, really?" I ask smiling still as they admire me getting me to smile more,"Then everyone here also looks like angels."

"But Mommy said I look ugly." one of the girls pipe up.

"Daddy said I'm troublesome." a boy saddens as a few others also says horrible comments they received from their parents getting me to frown.

Not knowing how I should reply back to that, I look around to find my eyes landing on an instrument getting me to turn to one of the children,"Can you please get me that guitar?"

Looking up at me, he nods before rushing to get the guitar with a hand from his friend. Handing me the guitar, I strum it a bit before re-pitching it the way I want it for me. A minute pass as I'm satisfied with the pitch getting me to strum a bit before creating a melody. And that's how I express my words as I tell them through a song.

"You guys can also join if you want to." I suggest getting them to tilt their heads before a few of them grabbed blocks or a tambourine.

Smiling, I start singing.

Who Says - Selena Gomez

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey

[Verse 1:]

You made me insecure,

Told me I wasn't good enough.

But who are you to judge

When you're a diamond in the rough?

I'm sure you got some things

You'd like to change about yourself.

But when it comes to me

I wouldn't want to be anybody else.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

You've got every right

To a beautiful life

[Chorus:]

Who says, who says you're not perfect?

Who says you're not worth it?

Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'?

Trust me, that's the price of beauty

Who says you're not pretty?

Who says you're not beautiful?

Who says?

[Verse 2:]

It's such a funny thing

How nothing's funny when it's you

You tell 'em what you mean

But they keep whiting out the truth

It's like a work of art

That never gets to see the light

Keep you beneath the stars

Won't let you touch the sky

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

I'm no beauty queen

I'm just beautiful me

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'?

Trust me, that's the price of beauty

Who says you're not pretty?

Who says you're not beautiful?

[Bridge:]

Who says you're not star potential?

Who says you're not presidential?

Who says you can't be in movies?

Listen to me, listen to me

Who says you don't pass the test?

Who says you can't be the best?

Who said, who said?

Would you tell me who said that?

Yeah, who said?

[Chorus:]

Who says, who says you're not perfect? (yeah)

Who says you're not worth it? (yeah yeah)

Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'? (oh)

Trust me, that's the price of beauty (hey yeah, beauty)

Who says you're not pretty? (who said?)

Who says you're not beautiful? (I'm just beautiful me)

Trust me (yeah), that's the price of beauty

Who says you're not pretty?

Ending, all the kids smile happily as they want more and more of me singing. Embarrassed, I just blush and laugh lightly.

"Maybe next time?" I ask uncertain.

It's been too long since the last time I've sang to a crowd or even sing at all. As the kids agree with my idea, I just smile at them putting the guitar down as they start chatting about the song and other random things. Seeing them run off again, I'm just glad they are happy again.

"I never knew you can sing." a familiar voice states getting me to jump and look behind me to find the window opened showing Ren.

"Ren..." I mumble as he just stares at me blankly.

After a silence, he sighs,"Are you okay?"

"Ya..." I reply biting the lower lip.

And the next action shocks me as he wraps his arm around my neck and rubs his fist on my head,"You are an idiot! You know that!"

"Ouch! Ow! Ow! That hurts, Ren!" I complain as he continues to do it before it slowly dies down.

Confused of why it died down, I didn't need to look up to find him crying as his tears land on my shoulder with his head burying inside.

"Don't ever do that ever again, idiot." he cries hugging me from the behind.

"Ren..." I reply confused at his action.

"I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." he repeats and repeats and repeats.

"I know," I sigh,"because of whatever I did to Jessica."

"Not that you idiot." he hugs me harder,"Because you stupidly rushed into the fire. I thought that was the last time I'll see you. You idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot."

"Ren...But, I thought you didn't..." I start.

"There's no way you would have done anything to Jessica, or even be mean to her. If you were mean to her, you wouldn't have saved her, risking your life." he explains as I just sit their with him hugging me.

"So...What are we going to do, Ren?" I ask randomly not knowing what I should even do.

"Aniki. It's Aniki for you. Aniki." he demands.

I smile slightly as the tears blow down,"Aniki."

He smiles sadly at me with his chin on my shoulder,"I'm sorry."

I shake my head,"It was never really your fault. Just false information."

"Still.." he starts.

"Don't worry." I reassure getting him to smile and kiss me on the forehead.

"What about Alto-nii-san?" he asks getting me to shrug.

"Knowing him, he probably wouldn't believe that I saved Jessica." I stand up separating from him,"So we should just keep it like this."

"Your heart isn't all that healed yet."

"I know. That's why I'm so fragile right now. But I can't show it can I? So, for now. I'll hide it until the end. Where I might change, or be the same. No one knows." I shrug getting him to smile before I sneeze,"Achoo."

He widens his eyes a bit before chuckling friendly,"You have a cute sneeze."

"Be quiet."
