"Oh boy."
I sighed. Houkou needed my help with this...Taking care of a 12 year old?? Especially one that's been abused?? This was all too crazy, but Hikari does need Houkou.
"Will juu?" he asked with puppy dog eyes.
"I guess I can come over everyday or something..." I said scratching my head.
His face lit up. "I'll go tell Hikari that your going to help too!"
Francis was staring at me, puzzled.
"What?" I asked him.
"That girl..." he paused. "That girl's...special. There's something....that....confuses me though."
"What...?"
He shook his head. "I just can't seem to get through her head you know? Like there's some jutsu that won't let her be...hurt."
"Jutsu?" I asked.
"Like...someone tried to help her without making a huge difference in her life....Like they couldn't help her, so they led her to Houkou's..." he saw my puzzled face.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it....You better go help Houkou." he smiled, gently pulling the hair out of my face.
Backed up slowly, and started walking down the steps, thinking of how he was so frustrated...with her.
