[Kaguya]

Ge opened his eyes looking down at Mei a little "Like I said life moves on." it seemingly unphased him that his family had been hurt. He felt how her grip got tighter the more he squirmed but it didn't stop him from trying to get free. "If you are thankful then let me go Mei." he stated trying to get her arms from around his waist, he could understand why she seemed so clingy to him but it didn't mean he had to like it, did it?

Now at the age of thirteen he had been within Mei's family for five years and during that time had taken the punishments to keep the girl who wanted to protect him all those years ago safe. It was an important day to them both as they where going to be starting middle school. He knew what Mei was like so had decided to play a trick on her that morning by getting up early and positioning pillows in the bed to make it seem like he was still sleeping before getting dressed and going to the tree in the backyard that he had always done in the last five years to study.
