This time, Nemesis brings her to her condo. Yes, the sixteen years old bitch bought her own condo. She's still training, yes, but like her Nemesis is also a Street Fighter and Drug racer. She also works different jobs as well, even though she has someone who is willing to support her.
"Tell me, now." She demanded.
"Don't you know everything, yet? I bet you have someone looking after me" Ray said.
Nemesis shook her head, Ray really knew her well. "Nah, the moment they report that you are babysitting after a long time and when they show me your pictures with them. I told them to leave you alone, cause I simply knew you won't do anything stupid again" she said, pertaining to the time when Ray tried to kill herself.
"Stupid rules and regulations. What do you expect? She gave me a folder but I didn't care for it so..I threw it the time I got what I needed. Then, I just simply violated the rules and regulations they set that I didn't know" she said.
Nemesis nods. She knows how devoted Ray was when it comes to Kids. "do you try to see your little ones?" She asked.
Of course, she does. Many times. "Yeah, they almost shot me when I didn't leave, you know. Thanks to their Eldest son and I was still alive. He said he'll help me" Ray said.
"Are you sure he will?" Nemesis inquired. She didn't want her friend to be left hanging and kept waiting for nothing. "Not sure. All I can do is trust his words. I want to know if the twins are fine and doing good." Ray knows that she loves the twin more than anyone. And she's willing to do anything just to take care of them again.
The moment she set her eyes on them, she already knew she would love them more than the other babies she took care of.
"I know, you don't like it when someone meddles with your business. So, I think all I will do now is pray and hope that everything will turn out good. You can always count on me, when you need me"
That's their last words before they part ways. They never lost communication, even though Nemesis already flew in states with her adoptive parents. She's also sure that Nemesis will escape from her schedule as always.
She changed back to her school uniform and kept her things away.

Kasumi went into the twins room, with a bowl of soup and a glass of water. He set the tray to their bed and looked at the twins who were still hugging each other and staring aimlessly at nowhere.
Kasumi sighs, he can't let this continue. He needs to do something, after seeing how much Ray tried to enter the subdivision.
Kasumi smiled and stirred the soup. "I saw Ray-chan last time, she's outside the subdivision" . By that, the twins looked at him. Their tears have stopped falling since yesterday, maybe their eyes are tired from crying the whole week.
"I don't think she'll be happy to see you like this," he said. He knows they can't respond to him, especially when they let their throats dry. "How can I face her, if I know you are both like this? I'm sorry for not always being there for the both of you. I hope you don't hate me nor your other brothers as well as our parents."
"I..I don't hate you. Ray-chan said, it's not healthy to hate someone. But...I don't like any of you, anymore" Kanata said almost in a whisper, thankful for the silent room they were in, he was able to hear them. He nods, understanding his youngest brother's situation.
"I don't hate you, because I never like you" that's what Katana said.
Which is true. She never likes or hates anyone but there is someone who she took a liking to and she grew to love, that's her twin and their babysitter and the one she hates is herself. But, no one needs to know that.
Kasumi chuckled, what does he expect from the twins? They are smarter than any of them, they are the family geniuses, especially when he compared them with Klenton and Klein.
"I understand. You don't have to like me or any of us. But, do me a favor. Please take care of yourselves while Ray-chan is not yet with the two of you. " He said.
After feeding the twins, he uses a towel cloth to clean their body. He lets Kanata clean his twin, Kanata complies and makes his big brother leave them while he is cleaning his twin's body. After that, Kanata wrapped the blanket around his naked twin's figure and made his way towards their closet and got his twin and himself some pajamas, thanks to his Big brother Kasumi he was able to move again.
He helps Katana to dress and Katana does the same for him.
Kasumi went back in when he thought they needed help dressing up, but he found them preparing to sleep once again. He tucked them in their blanket properly and kissed their foreheads and left.
After cleaning all the mess he did, he took out his phone and dials Ray's number.
[H...hello *yawn* ] said the other line.
"Sorry for waking you up. I was just wondering if you are free to meet me up?"
[It's fine, Kasumi-kun. When and where?]
"Maybe this weekend? At a Serial Kitchen Restaurant?"
[Okay] then she ended the call.
Kasumi sighs. He doesn't know what's up to his mother's mind...but he knows he had to take action before his sibling situations got worse.
