Kazuna no Kizuna; This pun brought to you by Kat [PM]

Kazuna told herself she'd be strong, she'd fight so no one would have to experience her pain. And yet, no matter how many times she told herself that...it still hurt. Thanks to the Undead she had lost everyone dear to her...and she'd be lying if she said she didn't miss them. Of course, she wouldn't let anyone see that, she didn't want anyone to worry about her, everyone at BOARD already did so because she was the youngest member they had.

But...why was she more depressed than normal? She had a day off and normally one would expect her to be out and about, enjoying herself in her normal, if clumsy, manner. However today, she hadn't left the room, nor had she bothered to even climb out of bed. It seemed...her facade of trying to be strong had worn thin today...namely because it was her birthday, and it'd be the first one she'd be spending without her family, and the day basically reminded her in full force that they were gone.

She just hid herself underneath the sheets, holding onto the family photo of her parents and her older brother...trying her best not to cry.

Something was off about the day. Miyuki couldn't explain it, but she'd left work early. It was a quiet day in anycase, and she'd yet to actually take anything more than a mandatory day off for her entire service, so it probably wouldn't be minded. Besides, she'd be called if a dispatch was required anyway.

"Eh?"

The sight that greeted her as she opened the door was... odd. She'd assumed Kazuna just wanted to sleep in and have breakfast late. Afterall, it was her day off, and everyone had been working hard lately.

But on the table, untouched, was Kazuna's long-cold breakfast. That was odd, considering she often ate heartily, wanting to grow bigger and stronger as quickly as she could. That was just the way she was. Naive and cheerful, still confident she could change the world somehow.

"Oi, your breakfast has gotten cold. It's bad to waste food you know." she groused as she opened the door to Kazuna's room, only to hear the soft sobbing as the little girl hid under the blanket "Kazuna...."

The voice tone shifted from mildly annoyed to one of concern. It was clear something was wrong.

"I-I wasn't hungry..." Kazuna replied quietly, rubbing her eyes underneath the sheets before poking her head out from under the blanket. Miyuki was the last person she wanted to see now, mainly because Kazuna was trying so hard to be independent to prove herself to her sempai. She managed to force herself to smile, even if only for this moment to greet her.

"Y-you're back early..." however, as hard as she tried, she could not hide what she was really feeling.

"I had a bad feeling and left early. I hate it when I'm right like that." she frowned, taking a seat next to Kazuna.

Something was definitely wrong. Normally it was an earnest smile, a truly happy one that was just so naive that she sometimes had to roll her eyes. Now, it was a forced one that showed her that something really was wrong. That, and it also showed her Kazuna was a terrible liar.

"Alright kiddo, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! I'm fine!" Kazuna continued the charade, all but scooting as far as she could in bed away from Miyuki. "Don't you think they'll be mad for you skipping out like that?" Kazuna spoke quietly, changing the subject. She didn't want to talk about it right now, especially with her sempai.

"Ah who cares if a few people get mad." she grinned "Man, you're a terrible liar."

Miyuki shook her head. Well, it wasn't really supposed to be one of Kazuna's skills anyway. There was a reason she did most of the actual talking work while her partner just helped as needed. Either way, she just moved closer to Kazuna, wrapping her arm around her gently.

"Well, it doesn't matter how badly you lie really since it's mostly irrelevant, but something's wrong, and I'd rather know what it is now and help you deal with it than let it bite me in the ass on a later date." she said flat out "So tell me what's wrong. Like it or not, you're still supposed to be my partner for this."

Kazuna couldn't hold back anymore, the moment Miyuki embraced the small girl the tears she was trying to hold back just started flowing, they just wouldn't stop even though she tried. She was...too choked up to give Miyuki a proper answer, and instead just moved a bit to show her the picture she was holding and then pointed to the Tare-Panda themed calendar hanging on the wall...the date today was circled and labeled "I turn fifteen today."

Miyuki seemed confused for a moment as she looked at the picture, then at the calendar.

...

Oh.

She should have known. Kazuna didn't have anyone left did she? And it was her birthday. Miyuki was used to just ignoring hers, and didn't even mark it on calendars anymore. Unfortunately, you couldn't really expect Kazuna to do the same. Miyuki was alone by choice in order to do her job better, whereas this girl was swept into things and had no business being in her current state.

Miyuki still couldn't help but sigh.

"Come now, you should be happy. Tell me, what do you think everyone in that picture would be saying if they saw you so sad on your birthday?"

Kazuna just remained quiet for a bit, just...sobbing slowly for now. She had been holding herself back ever since that day, so it was a couple of months worth of emotions being released at this point...it was amazing she was able to keep herself together this long. After a short silence, the small girl began speaking again, albeit slowly and sniffling every so often.

"Onii-chan...would be calling me a baby...and mama and papa will tell me to cheer up..." even though she said it though, it was still hard.

"Do you want them to do that? You said you were going to protect everyone's smiles, was that a lie? How are you supposed to protect everyone else's if you can't even protect your own?" she asked sternly.

It wasn't really a harsh voice, but rather more like an older sister delivering a sermon to an errant child.

'No! It wasn't a lie! I will protect everyone!" Kazuna firmly responded, though fell quiet at her own outburst. Her tears had started slowing down for the moment, and she just looked away from Miyuki. "...It just hurts so much...I really miss them..."

"It's normal to miss something once it's gone but.. that's what happened. The pain will dull in time. The question is, are you going to keep going even though it hurts, or will you just give up?" she continued with the line of questioning.

Harsh though it would seem, she still need Kazuna to understand one thing. However much something hurt, you had to be alive to feel pain, and as long as you were alive, you had the capacity to do something about it.

"I'm not going to give up! I would have never taken the belt if I was that weak!" Kazuna was...getting a little mad now? The small girl just gave Miyuki a look that would not give up. If it was one thing she didn't like it was her resolve and her beliefs being questioned like this. "I just...don't know if I can handle feeling this anymore...but...I'll try to be strong anyway...or they'll be sad too...right?"

"Then show it to them." the older woman told the young girl.

The tone went from stern to somewhat approving, as she pulled Kazuna abit closer.

"Feel better?"

Kazuna simply...nodded quietly as she looked up at the older woman, a smile forming all the while, it wasn't as big as they normally were, but enough to show that she was back to normal. Tears were still in her eyes, but they had stopped flowing for now. "...yes...thank you, sempai."
