**************************************************************** *************************************************************************** ************************
Naru Narusegawa just tossed her keys on her end table.  She locked the door.  She was quite upset.  Everything had imploded....and her life wasn't going to be the same ever again.  It really was a miracle she was able to pay the bills, including against Keitaro.  She just sat down in complete silence.  Her apartment was continually dark.  She had zero reason to open the blinds.  She also wouldn't turn on the lights when they were not needed  She then broke down and started crying.  It finally sunk in that she couldn't act like a brat.  She had torpedoed her own chances at going to college.  The only way they'll let her in, is if she was mopping the floors.

"Damn it," she cursed, "I ruined everything..."

She didn't know it, but Mei came by to check on her.  She came in, and turned on the light.  She admonished Naru for sitting in the dark.  Naru removed her contacts, and placed them in the solution.  Her job as a short-order cook was the one thing between her, and living in a homeless shelter.  She has sold most of her things, as they weren't needed.  

"Naru...when are you going to come talk to mom and dad?" Mei asked.

"I don't know..." she said, "I haven't been a good person."

"What do you mean?" Mei asked.  She wasn't exactly fully aware of what was happening.  She only heard a brief version.

"Well...I treated Keitaro and the girls like shit," she started.  

"How did you do that?"

"Mei...I didn't even let him kiss me when we were dating."

"That is very bad,"

"Yes...I also am guilty of domestic violence...and intimidation."

"Naru...that's...."

"That's exactly like me," she interrupted.  "I didn't bother to help you out when you came into the picture."

Mei then understood exactly what Naru had said.  They continued to talk.  Naru was holding back genuine tears at this point.  She now knows her actions have consequences  She also warned Mei not to do anything violent, condescending, or otherwise rude.  It wasn't in her personality...but it did sink in.  

"Naru...do you miss them?" Mei asked directly.

"Yes...the person I want to say sorry to the most, is Shinobu."

"That is going to be rather difficult to do," Mei said.

"Yeah...I have the court order against me," she said.  "I won't be traveling overseas for a long time..."

"Naru...for me...go talk to somebody..."

"I will," she said, "I talked to a lawyer...he says it's the only way I can leave Japan."

"Have you left the house at all after work?"

"No," Naru answered simply, "I won't go out unless I need to."

"You've become a basic shut-in..."

Naru knew it was bad to be a shut-in.  She just wanted to get away from Japan, and to get away from the situation.  Mei informed her she'll be moving at the Hinata. Naru nodded.  She only wished she'd acted better towards everybody.  She did get a little hope when she checked her mail...it was a letter from a friend of her parents who was willing to help her move to America.

"What is it?" Mei asked.

"I can actually leave Japan," Naru just said simply.

"Do you have enough money?" she asked concerned.  "Do you have any place to stay?"

"I have one place I can go," she said sadly.  

"Naru...be safe will you," Mei pleaded.

"I will," she said, "get this to Keitaro...and have him read it."

The envelop contained an apology letter, also a declaration that she's leaving Japan immediately.  Mei decided that she's overstayed her welcome.  While the stay-away order was in place...Naru moving to America was the best thing in her interests.  Once Mei left, Naru took a look at the plane ticket.  She decided she was going to pack only some clothing, and her glasses.  She tossed her Contacts in the trash, and simply left.  She turned her apartment key in.  Her Landlord was quite disappointed.  He understood.  After, she went to the airport, to go to America.  At the Hinata in, about an Hour later, Keitaro read the letter.

"She's taking this quite seriously," he said.  "I know the judge said to keep away...but he didn't specifically say leave the country."

"That's extreme...even for her," Kitsune said.

"I can't argue with it," he then said evenly.  "Truthfully...it would be for the best."

"What would be for the best?" Kanako asked.

"Naru's left Japan," Kitsune said honestly.

"I sincerely pray she stays out of trouble."

"Do you want to know the worst part?" Keitaro asked.

"What's that?" Kitsune asked.

"She didn't have to act like that from day one."

They agreed.  He was going to toss in the waste basket.  The thing is...his Lawyer came, and read it.  He too shook his head at the extreme action.  It was agreed that it was for the best.  He decided that no further action would be taken.  Keitaro was actually surprised that Naru got the cash to get to America, and a Passport.  

"So...it will truely be quiet here," Kitsune then said looking out at the sunset.

"It most defiantly will," Keitaro answered.

"What's going to happen to Mei?" Kitsune asked.

"Her parents gave her permission to move in," he said, "we will be good hosts from day one."

"That's right," she said smiling, "she's one of the family."

"Now...we should get a room ready for her," he then said.  "Also...we should get a room ready for Sarah too."

"What do you mean?"

"Seta's work has kinda got in the way, so he agreed to let Sarah live here."

"We have a lot of work to do with her," Kitsune then said.

"We do...but both will be alright."

They went to the kitchen, quietly.  Keitaro had noticed a change within the girls, that were for the better.  He knew that there were going to be some slip-ups, but that was life.  He held her hand, quite softly.  Kitsune blushed quickly.  She felt like it was a living romance novel.  It was dinnertime, and the news of Naru leaving was mentioned in passing.  Though, it was just business as usual.  

"I wonder what the future would hold," Shinobu said off-handed.

"I don't know," Keitaro answered honestly.

"The best we can do," Motoko started, "is to live in the present."

"I just thought of something," Su then said, "maybe, I better start being better..."

"That is for the best for all of us," Shinobu said.  "Though...it's not going to be easy."

"Yes," Kanako said, "though...for our family and friends, they can make it a lot easier."

They ate the rest of their meal in silence.  Shinobu's question about the future is definitely coming into fruition.  She has made a lot more friends at school.  She is also dating Kanako.  She has even taken up with a couple of clubs, and activities.  Su, has likewise done the same.  She also had decided she had better take seriously her duties as a representative of Molmol.  Her behavior, would definitely reflect everybody else's.  She has e-mailed her sister Amara to give suggestions on how to better run her native island nation.  Mutsumi's health is beginning to improve.  She has been taking medication, but continued to eat fruits (mainly watermelon).  Though, times had passed...and things have gotten a lot better.
