Summery: Its been 5 years since the curse was broken; Kagura Sohma An airhostess returns back to Kaibara for the Sohma New Year as she had never been back for a while… what will happen now that she does not love Kyou anymore; but is he falling for her?

The clicking of her blue heels echoed on the tiled floor as her head threw back slightly; short strands of brown hair tickled her neck and the blue skirt etched easily against beautiful well shaven legs at the same time. Kagura Sohma blinked as she looked around, where is he? He promised to pick her up seeing as this was her first time back in Kaibara, just flown in from Scotland this time, the airhostess looked for her cousin with eager brownish grey eyes. The twenty three year old sighed as there was just no sign of the blonde.
"Kagura-san? Kagura-san where are you?" What the? The brunette turned looking for whoever shouted that yet she remembered the voice yes that was him wasn't it? Bright brown eyes found her as she noticed Momiji walking towards him. Did she really look that different with her hair finally in a style?

Sohma Kagura; she used to be the boar of the zodiac used to have a large crush on her cousin Kyou, it seemed that she had grown out of her crush on him just as easily as her temper problem died. She eagerly left home at the age of twenty-one just one year at finishing college and getting that job at the airport; she was then a well-known accountable responsible airhostess to whom the public liked. She met this guy when she was twenty two and they had been going out for the last year but to be honest it wasn't going as well as she wanted it to because he was married to his work yet Kagura loved him… at least she didn't bury him with her love like she would have done when she was younger; she was independent now and didn't need to look after him; his name is Kenosha Lei. Although she knew that he took her for granted she made sure to be there for him whenever he needed her.
"Kagura-san, you look so different!" Momiji was just as hyper as he was.

Sohma Momiji, he used to be the rabbit of the zodiac, he was very hyper and was still much like the blonde he was then. He was now working in his father's workplace like Tohru Honda was; and he is now twenty years old. Kagura could remember the happy smile Momiji had and knew that he could always make her smile and laugh whenever he tried and that was good. Momiji was wearing a white shirt – buttoned up – and a pair of black trousers and black shoes which glistened in the light; he could drive now; which scared a few people – Kagura was one of those people. Momiji helped Kagura with her bags and put them into his red car.
"Arigato Momiji-sama." Kagura smiled as she took her place in the front seat; pulling the seatbelt around her body and buckled herself in before a large smile was plastered on her face. "Are you still single?" She asked knowing how much Momiji loved Tohru. He shook his head and started to describe a beautiful Chinese female with long black hair smiling eyes much like him, Toudou Kimi.
"Kimi-san is perfect. I love her." It seemed for the five years that Kagura had been away Kimi and Momiji had been dating for three of them. Soon they were off towards the Sohma Estate.

An orange haired male sat on the sofa; his hair blowing in the gentle wind as his crimson eyes blinked; what the hell was he doing here again? The curse was broken he was no longer the cat of the zodiac; having to have those forbidding beads encircled around his wrist. The twenty-one year old looked around the room where Isuzu and Hatsuharu were, they two were a couple now engaged to be married after they found out Isuzu was expecting a baby. Kyo was a martial arts teacher working with Kazuma; it was just the other day he was asked to travel to America to show some techniques off – he would be going in a few days by plane. There was one problem with today though; he was going to have to deal with Kagura again – he just didn't want to have to worry about her temper again. He brushed his unruly hair out of his eyes – his hair had grown around his shoulders now as he wouldn't dare let anyone cut it.

"Why don't you just go and run off like you always do?" He was asked with Hatsuharu who glared at him. "I'm sure Kagura-san won't mind." Of course Kagura wouldn't because Hatsuharu had been keeping in contact with her since she left and he knew that she was over him and he was one of the few to know about Lei. Hatsuharu smirked more at Kyou's reaction of standing up with his hands in fists.
"You're sure gonna regret that!" Kyou spoke as he went to go and punch Hatsuharu but Isuzu stopped them from fighting by yelling an insult that made Kyou sit back down and behave himself for now, he probably will get even more riled up sooner. Isuzu sat down; her long black dress sliding from her body down by her ankles as it lessened the bump that she had, the sleeves were made of lace, as was the bottom part of the dress. She looked especially beautiful with her hair pulled half back as it was still cut very short thanks to Akito, who they had all found out was a girl. Isuzu put her hand on her baby bump as she sat back down by her fiancée and they waited for the arrival of another two people.

Sohma Isuzu was a personal assistant for a fashion designer; she also helped by putting her ideas across, most of the gothic and black clothing lines these days were helped into creation by Isuzu. Hatsuharu owned a pub – 'black 'n' White' and it was well known everyone went there even Kyou for when he wanted to pick a fight with Hatsuharu.

"Kids you should calm down." Shigure spoke from the door; his hair pulled back into a nice fashion as he wore a suit remembering Tohru's reaction to her first time seeing him in one and decided that he'd wear one on this special occasion as it was a formal one but not too Japanese formal even if it was New Years as they were having the party in his house. Tohru and Yuki moved out a few weeks ago when they decided they were old enough to live with each other, there was a strain on the household after that as Tohru had gone but it was just Kyo and Shigure left and they were enjoying the hole Shigure annoying Kyo and Kyo fighting back period of time they had right at that moment. "It's a shame that Ritsu and Kureno can't make it. But Kisa and Hiro are on their way." Kisa was in her last year of high school now and Hiro was in college. It was a good thing that Kisa was now actually quite popular. Hatsuharu put his arm around Isuzu as Kyou just glared at him when the door opened then to Tohru and Yuki.

Tohru clad in a beautiful pink dress that everyone said suited her as it was in the baby doll fashion, Yuki looked good himself in a white suit with a light pink shirt; oh yes only Yuki could wear a pink shirt and look good – Tohru still was in disbelief with the fact that she was actually dating but Saki and Arisa were actually quite okay with it, saying that Tohru would soon be their blushing bride. To that Tohru just blushed and disagreed. That really couldn't have been possible; or at least that was what Tohru believed. Yuki sat down on the other sofa, away from Kyou, as they were still good and strong at hating each other; Tohru looked to the two of them with a sigh of defeat, as she would never be able to help them get along with each other even though that was her wish… Tohru couldn't wait for the festivities and music to begin but she mostly couldn't wait to see the others again whenever they arrived and that really shouldn't be that long.
"Isn't it great, Kyou? That Kagura-san is coming back?" Tohru beamed with a large smile as she closed her eyes and tilted her head.
"No it isn't!" Kyou disagreed as Tohru moved away slightly afraid like she usually was but at least Kyou wasn't being quiet, she hated that because it meant something was wrong. Yuki held Tohru then; something that he was eager to do ever since the curse was broken as she wouldn't transform him into a rat anymore and that was a good thing. Tohru blushed at this was settled into his embrace as she looked towards Isuzu with a smile although the black haired female just looked away embarrassed at her thoughts of Tohru actually looking nice.

"TOHRU-SAN!" Tohru was shocked when she found herself rushed at by Momiji. Yes he was still obsessed with hugs and yes Kagura knew this as she had found herself in three already since they left; although Kagura wasn't there right at that moment; she had managed to sneak up to Tohru's old room to get changed into something that was less uniform like… Momiji was smiling happily as she told him about how good he looked in his outfit, and how grown up he had become since the last time she had saw him; which really wasn't that long ago.
"Momiji-kun! How are you?" He was asked as Kyou rubbed his forehead tired out already and it wouldn't be long until he ditched the party to be alone on the roof; something you would have thought him to have grown out of… he just really couldn't be bothered with this as he wasn't allowed to go to the banquet all those years and now suddenly he was asked here.
"I'm good, thank you. Kagura-san is upstairs getting changed." There you go Kyou cringed and shuddered… that name again. "She hasn't gotten angry once." Yuki looked amazed; he was one of them not to know how much Kagura had grown up in the last year. All he knew was she was an airhostess and always on the move around the world… Kyou just knew that she was travelling around the world. Kyou also knew that would change when those grey eyes would settle on him. But he got a shock when he saw her standing there in the door frame; she was looking at him, and he was even more shocked when her gaze moved away from him and onto Isuzu and Hatsuharu. Why hadn't she gotten so happy and try to jump him like always… and why did she look so different?

Kagura's wardrobe was now a beautiful white angel-like dress which was flowing and had slight frills although she also had a brown belt around her waist which made her waist look tiny; although it already was, her legs were clad in beautiful brown boots which were below the knees. She walked right passed him; speaking just a simple hello to him, which was just accompanied with a basic smile. He watched her; his eyes narrowing slightly as she ignored him. He had made himself believe that he was going to be either be jumped and forced love upon or at least kissed… why was he feeling so hurt that neither of the above had happened although again he thanked his luck because he didn't have to worry about her anymore. He looked towards Momiji who was still fussing over Tohru who was trying to get to Kagura. Isuzu gave Kagura a hug; Kagura who knew only by phone about Isuzu's pregnancy fussed over her asking things such as when was the baby due even though she had been told so many times over the phone.
"Hey, Kagura-san." Hatsuharu spoke as he hugged her too before Kagura went towards Yuki and Tohru they welcomed her back.
"How are you?" Both females asked with a laugh after saying the same thing at the same time. Tohru's long hair traipsed back down past her waist – Kagura commented on that too. "You look beautiful." Tohru thanked Kagura with a smile as the music was started and they all looked towards the door where Shigure was with a teenage Kisa and Hiro beside him. Kagura smiled broadly as she moved towards Kisa in a dance elegance fashion before they hugged.
"Long time no see, Hiro-kun." She held Kisa as Hiro glared at her just for doing that although they always had a good relationship with each other. "How is Hinata?" She talked about his sister.

They all danced and conversed with each other for such a long time as Kyou stood in the corner of the room as his red orbs settled once more on Kagura like they managed to do for many times that evening. Why had she changed so much after the curse had broken? Did she have a personality transplant? He watched her dance with Kisa as the song allured its way through Shigure's sound system. Their eyes caught each other for a few seconds and Kagura smiled towards him whilst waving in his direction – he glared and looked away from her. Why should he care anyway, she had moved on and that was a great thing! Kyou walked off towards his bedroom his hands found way to his plane tickets, he would be heading away soon, Kazuma had entrusted him with this and believed in him – did he really deserve that trust though? He wasn't sure but knew that he would just go and see what he could do. Kyou then waited for around another two hours until the music had ended: the New Year had started and the others went home. It was about him, he rolled over on his bed and sighed before falling asleep knowing he had to get prepared for leaving for America not tomorrow but the day after. Little did he know what was going to come during that day… or who…
