The next morning consisted of more cleaning as they had only cleaned her room. The next room that was started on was the bathroom. In the bathroom the mirror was shattered, everything she had on the shelf above to toilet was in the floor, the shower curtain ripped from the rings that held it up, and the shower its self showed clear signs that he was kicking it trying to break the thick porcelain. Draken started with picking up the glass that use to be the mirror.

while the other worked in different rooms. While he was cleaning he found a paper sitting under the box of tampons that was thrown on the floor. This wont be the last of me it read in angry looking letters, almost as if it was written in a hurry. He shoved it into his pocket so Rain wouldn't find it, he had to remember to bring this up with the guys.

Once everything was back to normal in the bathroom he walked out making sure the paper wouldn't fall out of his pocket. Walking into the living room he saw the Sofa turned back up right a long with the chair. rain worked on the kitchen with Chifuyu and he assumed Mikey and Baji was in the other bedroom.

"How's the bathroom?" Rain asked noticing Draken walk in.

"You'll need a new mirror but other then that it didn't seem like to much damage." He answered leaning on the counter and crossing his arms in front of him.

"We are starting to finish up here but it does look like he took off with most of the food." Chifuyu says looking in the fridge.

"Another market trip?" Rain asked sounding tired.

"We'll go." Draken smiles at her.

She had an eyebrow raised at the statement, "Are you sure?" Both boys nodded their head. "Okay then."

Soon Mikey and Baji walked out with their arm full of things her father had left behind. "We are going to toss these in the dumpsters." Baji says as the two started to the door.

"Chifuyu come on we all have to talk about something." Draken nods his head towards the door. Just like that she was left alone in the apartment. After they had all gotten away from the door Draken pulled the paper from his pocket. "Found this in the bathroom under some tampons," He hands the paper the Chifuyu, "Guess he assumed that we wouldn't touch them and used them to hide it."

Chifuyu balled up his fist at reading it. When Baji and Mikey tossed the stuff in the dumpster they both took a turn at looking at the paper. Mikey crumbles it up in his fist and tosses it into the dumpster as well. "We don't tell Rain about this." He looks at everyone. "But we will watch her. Even more then what we do now."

Draken, Baji, and Chifuyu nodded agreeing with Mikey. "He won't touch her." Baji balls his fist.

"Guys!" They looked up to see Rain yelling for them, "Lunch!"

All four started walking back to the stairs. "Not a word." Mikey says again as they head up.

The rest of the day they just spent the time cleaning the house more and when the sun went down Rain just wanted to get out of the apartment and go to a park of all things. Walking into the park Rain runs instantly to the swings.

"So why here?" Baji asked.

"The last time I was here was with my mom the day before she died," she starts swinging, "And now I get to start new coming here with my family." She smile bright.

It seemed that her smile alone relaxed the guys. They hadn't seen her smile sense they had entered the apartment the evening before. They were all silently worried they had lost the privilege to see it again.

"Well we are all honored." Draken gives a goofy bow to her making her giggle.

"You don't have to bow for that." She slowly comes to a stop with the swing. "Come on have fun!"

Mikey being the child like she is ran to the slide and started to climb up. "You heard the princess." He smirked as he climbed up the small ladder. Chifuyu joined in on the fun while Baji and Draken say on a bench near by.

"So what do you think will happen?" Baji asked crossing his arms and leaning back.

"I don't know," draken leaned forward resting his elbows on his knees with his has together under his chin, "But I feel it's not going to be good."

"We'll anyone can say that." Baji scoffed.

"Just remember." Draken watched at Chifuyu chased Rain through the lose little gravel.

"I know I know," Baji clicks his tongue, "Not a word."

"Come on guys!" Rain calls at them waving her hand in the air.

"In a damn minute." Baji says with some attitude behind it making her giggle.

"Just ask normal." Draken stands up.

"I am being normal." Baji followed his lead.

The two walked over to the play set and was met with laughs and giggles coming from the three. "I want to see Draken go down the slide." Rain request.

"I don't think I'll fit on that," He raised a hand, "Do you not realize how tall I am?"

"That's what will make it funny!" She pulls on his checkered jacket pulling him to the slide.

"I am as tall as this damn play set." He tried to fight back.

"Come on!" Mikey joined in.

"You heard her," Baji came up behind him and patted his back, "Up you go." Baji moved out of Draken's arm length and climbed ontop of the metal monkey bars. He found his balance and crossed his legs, pulling out a bag of small cookies and started munching on them.

"Screw all of you!" Draken cursed at them as he was forced up the short ladder. Rain just laughed as he attempted to sit on the plastic slide.

"Just go down the slide Mister Tall Vice-president." He threw a small cookie at the tall man.

"When did you bring snacks?" Chifuyu says pretending to be hurt.

"What about us?" Draken added.

"Yeah what about your leader?" Mikey looked up at the dark haired male.

"Nope I'm not sharing." Baji turns his head at them.

He felt a tap on his leg and looked down to see Rain. She stood there with the best puppy eyes she could gather. He slipped between the bars easily falling to the ground and catching himself on his feet. Standing back up he still hold the small cookies in his hand, not dropping a single one.

She reached into the zip lock bag and grabbed one then kissing him on the cheek. She ran off giggling after. He reached up and softly brushed the skin where she had kissed. He heard a clearing of someone's throat and turned to see all three men giving him a are you serious look. He quickly dashed away.

"Get back here!" Mikey screamed running after him.

"You bastard!" Draken threw himself down the slide and once he was down chased Baji as well with Chifuyu in tow.
