It was raining. Hard. Just like it had been for two weeks. The sky was an even grey, there was no wind, no sleet, no snow, now thunder or lightning...just...rain...
A golden headed girl took her shoes off as she quietly opened the door to her home. Well, her current home anyway. Drenched, she escaped the thick coat weighing her down. Not a sound from the rest of the house. Shigure was at the lake visiting Ayame. Kisa couldn't go because of school, so the house was empty. She sighed tiredly as she made her way to the kitchen and put the water on to make tea. No homework...only the house and the rest of the day to be with her thoughts.
"This isn't what I wanted...the house never used to be empty, it was so...alive...why couldn't I have been here for that instead? This isn't what I want...I don't want to be alone here..."
She was 16, a sophmore at Kaibara High School. Yuki and Tohru had graduated two years before hand, and were at college. Kyo moved back in with Kazuma to continue his training. Haru and Momiji had just graduated and left that summer, though neither of them was interested in college. Things were tense at the main house, what with so many of the zodiac members being gone, and Kisa couldn't handle that and highschool, so she moved in with Shigure. It was better than life at the main house, especially since she had grown apart from her mother considerably, but it was definitely different than it had been with Yohru, Yuki, and Kyo there. She missed them.
"Why do I have to be the youngest...?" She thought to herself sadly as she poured her tea. She wished every day of her life that some one would come back for her, tell her that it was a mistake and they never meant to leave her behind at all. Some one to take her out into the world where she could wear what she wanted, say what she wanted, and be who she wanted to be.
"This family is like a prison. Oh sure I can go to the school I want, but they're still watching me. I'm away from the main house but Shigure...well, Shigure doesn't have a choice, I don't blame him. But still...I guess I can't blame them all for getting away when they could...I just wish I wasn't the last one to get there..."
A tear slid down her face, the rain continued to beat down on the roof of her bedroom, the cold grey covering her window.
"Two years...how can I do it...? Two years of being here, guarded, watched, crushed...How can I..."
Kisa shook her head and sipped her tea. She couldn't think like that. That kind of thinking wouldn't get her anywhere, certainly not out of the Sohma's grasp. She walked down the staris to the kitchen silently and put her cup in the sink.
"I guess I'll just go for a walk..."
She put her other coat on with determination and grabbed an umbrella from the shelf. After all, it was just rain.
