“Iie Usagi-chan!” Tsukino Masato, picked up his niece reaching into the girls mouth pulling out the marker top. “This is not good to swallow Usagi-chan, bad.” The little girl squirmed in her uncles arms and he sat her down, sighing heavily. Usagi was now almost three years old and it had been over a year since her accident.
“Mama?” Usagi asked pointing to the kitchen, stroking her cheek.
“Iie, mama is shopping with grandma Emiko and grandma Chie.” He sat back on the couch stretching. While his brother was at work, and his sister in-law and mother went shopping for the new baby he offered to baby-sit the girl. “Urg, Usagi-chan…stop putting things in your mouth.”

One month later

Usagi, watched as her mother held her new little brother, Shingo towards her. Clamping to her father she looked at the small creature and winkled up her nose. “Ugly.”
“Oh, don’t say that about your brother Usagi.” Her father scowled, putting her down and taking his son. “He is brand new so of course he looks a little funny.”
Ignoring her father, she climbed on the side of the hospital bed, wanting to be held by her mother. “Itai Usagi…Mommy is still sore.” Ikuko scooted her daughter over some, but Usagi clamped on to her. “Itai…Usagi!”
Crying, Usagi jumped from the bed and ran out of the room. Ignoring her families calls.

“Usagi never, ever run away like that!” Her grandmother Emiko scowled pulling her into the waiting room. Usagi, sat on the ground picking at her purple dress, humming to herself softly.
Sighing, Emiko sat back shutting her eyes, hearing her granddaughters hums.
Ever since she was well enough to come home, Usagi chose to ignore what everyone said. When she knew she was in trouble she ran, when she was ignored she’d break something.
Usagis hums grew louder and louder and Emiko was forced to open her eyes, looking down she saw Usagi rocking back and forth humming loudly. “Bunny…” She older woman picked up the child holding her in her arms. “Shhh…be quit now.”
My dearest grandchild, what’s going on in that head of yours.

Placing the bib on his daughter Kenji sat down, picking up the spoon, only to have it knocked out of his hands. Usagi, grabbed a handful of mashed potatoes and shoved it into her mouth.
“Iie honey…” He took her hands and wiped them on the napkin, but she pulled them away and went back to eating the way she liked.

“Mama!” Usagi ran through the house looking for her mother, her screaming equaled that of Shingos crying. “Mama! Make baby stop!” She ran into the nursery and stared at the bassinet angrily. “Stop! No crying! Stop!” She kicked the side of the bassinet, only making Shingo cry louder. Covering her ears she kicked the bassinet again and again. “Stop! Stop!” Then, with all her strength she pushed over the small bed watching as her little brother feel to the ground.
Turning around, she saw her mother standing at the door eyes wide with fear, then she heard her scream. Covering her ears again Usagi screamed as well.
