Chapter Seven-Yuki

Later, after dinner, I am sitting in my room and Meii comes up to me and says,"Hey Yuki, can everyone who knows about me being a Sohma pretend my last name is still Haruo? My parents and my family and I shared that last name, and they died. I would rather not keep it as my own, not when it makes me remember my family."A tear slid down her cheek and even more came streaming down. She wept into my arms and I too, cried. I cried for her, for Momiji, for Akito, but I mostly cried for her."Yes, of course Ms. Haruo. I will do my best to get the others to refer to your last name as Haruo, too." I look at her, and realize she has fallen asleep in my arms. She peacefully inhales and exhales in my arms. She looks adorable. Kyo comes in. I tell him about Meii's request and he helps me tuck her into my bed. I will sleep elsewhere tonight. For her.
