Shrugging, Chidori started to nod but then shook her head.

"You haven't been good? I'll number things out and you can hold up your fingers. (1.) School (2.) Home (3.) Main house (4.)Other" Count waited for the little girl's reply.

Chidori considered the options before holding up first two fingers and then three.

"School, Home and the Main house" Count recieted. "Whats wrong with the Main house?"

Chidori nervosuly twirled a lock of her hair and stared at her feet, unsure of how to reply. She didn't feel like speaking again.

Count got out a scrap sheet of paper and a tiny pencil and handed it to the little girl "Write down everything, home, school, main house."

Chidori sat down on the ground and wrote in slightly shaky writing, "School is hard. I don't like it and nobody likes me. My parents are not home. They made me come here. But I don't want to be here" Rubbing her eyes, Chidori stood up and held out the paper and pencil.

Count read it quickly and nodded "How about youstay with me eh?" Count couldn't stand that this girl was unhappy.

Chidori looked up, startled and confused. "Stay?" she whispered hesitantly as she pointed at herself.

Count nodded with a smile "You can stay with me"

Chidori shrugged a bit before nodding with a wide smile.

"Perfect! Now I just need to find whats his name to let him know I'm here" Count looked down at Chidori "You know where the head is?"

Nodding, Chidori pointed in the direction of the main house,

"Can you take me there, I'm horrible with directions" Count asked smiling sheepishly

Chidori held out her hand, nodding.

Count took ahold of Chidori's hand and let her lead her.
