Shanti walked up to a boy, late teens she guessed. "Ok… so you're a member of the Zodiac?"

"Please, this stupid cat couldn't be a member of the zodiac if the opportunity was right under his nose!" called a gentle voice from behind.

"Shut up, stupid rat! Who asked you!" the guy bellowed.

Shanti turned to find Yuki propping himself against the doorway of the house.

"Answer damn coward!" the boy roared.

"Coward? As I recall I'm not the one who's afraid to admit his feelings." Yuki muttered.

"Shut up!" the boy hissed.

"Honestly, Kyo. If you keep screaming 'Damn rat' and 'Shut up stupid rat' people are going to think someone is crazy- and by someone, I mean you." Yuki murmured.

"Aw shut it, rat…" Kyo looked down a little embarrassed, "Who asked your opinion…?"

"Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty! Now stop bickering! And Kyo shouldn't you be telling Torhu you love her or something?" Shanti teased.

Kyo turned bright red. "I don't like her like that!" he yowled.

"Whatever." Shanti muttered. "Now Yuki, you being my boyfriend and all, I know you're a member of the zodiac." Shanti exclaimed, smiling warmly.

Yuki gave her the same warm smile and nodded.
