Chapter one
Tohru walked down the hallway getting an early start on cleaning and cooking breakfast when she noticed everyone was already awake and sitting down.
Walking into the room she looked were Yuki was looking and saw Shigure putting a picture of a girl on a little table next to a burning candle.
"I've never seen her before. Is she a Zodiac too?!" Tohru asked, but no one answered the cheerful girl. Studying the picture before her, she noticed that the girl looked quite happy and wore a necklace that looked like Kyo's bracelet.
After a small silence, Shigure spock up." This is Kyoko Sohma."
"That means she a Zodiac too right?! But I've meat all the Zodices." Tohru's happy expression turned into a confused stood up making no eye contact with anyone.
"Thats because shes a copy." Yuki said, his eyes full of pain as he turned his head to meet eyes with Tohru's.
"Copy?" Tohru gasped.
"That's right, Kyoko is a copy of a Zodiac. It's rare, but there'll be times when there will be a copy of a Zodiac. There looked down upon even if there the dragonbecouse there only a copy." Shigure said blowing the candle out and turning to Tohru.
"You see, they were looked down so much that there rank was below the cat...and it so happened that Kyoko here was born the copy of the cat."
Tohru gasped feeling her heart string being plied." Ow... that means.."
"You Shouldn't feel sorry, she died two years ago. Theres no point whining about it now." Kto said walking away into the woods, leaving everyone in silence and making Tohru feel worse.
Yuki stood and bowed at the picture before leaving to his room. Tohru and Shigure stood in silence once more.
"What is it you wont to speak to us about Akito?" Shigure asked as Yuki and him bowed before sitting themselves on the floor.
"Since you'll be staying here for the banquet tonight, we must tell you some news." Hatori said. He stood beside Akito who watched the birds fly outside the window.
Shigure and yuki shifted uneasy and there minds started to wonder. Shigure who was more calm and fine with hearing there was news, but Yuki was slightly scared of the news from Akito's abused self.
Akito is forbidding anyone from going toward the warehouse. Theres a copy being locked away for committing a crime towards the sohma family." Hatori said and Shigure stood.
"If thats all, we'd like to talk with the others." Shigure said smiling and Yuki stood too. They started walking out the door when Akito said something causing Yuki to turn around.
"What did you say?" He demanded and Akito turned to Yuki causing Yuki to flinch slightly.
"Kyoko..." Akito whispered once more and anger raged throw Yuki but contained it by leaving the room. Shigure eyes glanced to the side.
"Shigure. This copy will be staying with you." Hatori said befor Shigure slightly smiled walking out the door.
"Why would Akito say her name?..." Yuki said once they were outside and alone.
"What the hell did Akito won't?!" Kyo yelled once he saw the two exit the gates of the main house.
"Kyoo!~" A female voices came from behind and Kyo's eyes widened and like a reflects, he turned around ready to run away when the girl jumped on him."Kyo!" she said happily hugging him.
"Getoff!" Kyo demanded, pushing the brunet off him.
"Kyo...you could have been nicer..." The girl started to cry and Kyo tensed up.
"Don't cry Kagura.." Kyo said. Rubbing the back of his head, Kyo was never good with people. Especially crying girls.
"Move out of the way!" Haru yelled followed by Momiji and Kisa who was soon followed by Hatori with his medical bag.
Worried expressions seeped onto everyone's faces. Yuki ran after Hatori and gasped.
"What's going on?!" But Hatori didn't answer, instead he kept running and Kyo, Shigure, and Kagura followed worried. When they arrived, Hatori was on his knees and so was everyone eales.
Hatori turned to see Kyo and yelled."Kyo! I need your help!"
"Why would I help anyone in the Sohma family?..I" but before Kyo could finish, Momiji and Kisa lifted up someones legs and Hatori and Haru picked up the shoulders. The girls long dark purple hair swayed back and forth as they started walking to the main house.
"Kyo now! Keep her awake!" Hatori yelled once more, but Kyo stood frozen.
"Damn it Kyo! Stop acting like it's all about you!" Haru yelled at him and Kyo got pissed off and ran towards the girl's head. But Kyo's face turned pale at the sight of the girl covered in blood, her Kimono torn.
"Ky...Kyoko?...How.." His words caught in his throat in a tight mind swirled in circles." But.."
"Save it for later. Well tell you then when shes safe." Haru yelled and Kyo ran with them holding her head up better. His thoughts raced faster than he could process them.
"Stay with us Kyoko!" Hatori yelled as they continued to run. "Say something to her." Hatori demanded Kyo.
"Ky..Kyoko! Open your eyes, please!..."Kyo yelled slapping her lightly on the cheek. Her eyes did not open. He slapped a little harder and her eyes fluttered open.
"K..kyo?...I...Sorry.." Her eyes closed and Kyo slapped her cheek again, causing her to open her eyes. But they were more week.
"Please stay with me! Please stay awake!" Kyo yelled and Kyoko's eyes stayed open, but her breathing increased. Her body started to shake as they pushed the doors open.
Hatori turned to everyone,"I need all you to stay here." He demanded taking Kyoko nto the room. Kyo wen to go in but Haru stopped him.
"Do you want to know what happened with Kyoko two years ago, and why she's here now? Why shes back at this god forsaken place?" Kyo pushed and shook his head leaning on the wall.
"Kyo..." Kisa shyly said coming to his said. Yuki and Shigure finally walking into the room."Kyoko drooped this earlier." Kyo looked at the little girl as she pulled out a necklace and handed it to him.
Kyo studied the necklace. It had purple and white beads on it, and at every two beads there was a cross hanging from it.
Everyone grew silent as Kyo continued to look at the necklace he had given to a friend three years ago. The very friend that died from a sick born illness two years ago, and was now in the next room.
"What happened?...To her..." Kyo whispered, his orange hair covering his eys as he counted to look at the necklace.
