"God?" Suzume looked at her uncle with a perplexed expression, "How is he God?" Hatori shrugged his shoulders, "I had a dream, that he was comming, the night he was concieved. Me and your other uncles, dreamt the same thing that night. That the next God-Spirit was going to be amongst us." Suzume continued to stare out the window, that answer only brought more questions, but she decided to not inquire anymore, she just responded with, "Oh." Suzume learned from her Mom that being a woman in life, she should not ask too many questions. Girls who asked alot seemed stupid, and many people frowned upon that. Suzume also learned her rank in life from her Mom, shaping her to be an obiedient child. Her Mom was always protective of her, and her father was too, she didn't understand why. Hatori glanced at his niece through the rear view mirror, he remembered how Hideki would praise his daughter in her achievements, but he would also tell him how he wished Suzume would act her age a little. Sure it was nice to have a dutiful daughter, but he didn't want her to miss out on her childhood. Hatori looked back to the road and though, "Hanging around with her cousin ought to do the work." The ride to the Main House wasn't a long one, they were soon parked inside the huge estate. Suzume could not beleive how big the place was. It seemed to have its own little town. Hatori parked the car, he shut it off, and said, "Akito will probably hurt you." Suzume looked to Hatori, "What, what do you mean?" Hatori sighed, "Akito is...different. He suffers from the past, and the future. He dwells on his fate." Hatori opened the door, "Leave your things here. We'll come back." Suzume opened her door, she was a little scared of what Akito might do to her. She also wondered what Hatori meant, by 'fate'.

Suzume followed Hatori down the stone path way that lead to the Main House. The Sohma Estate itself was beautiful, it reminded her of a resort near Mt. Fuji. It was so pretty, it almost seemed fake. A voice then startled her from her thoughts. "Hey, what's going on Hatori?" Suzume stopped and turned, Hatori then greeted the boy who caught their attention. The boy had strange white hair, and black roots, it really did look odd. He wore a black jacket, you could see a black shirt underneath, he wore tan cargo pants, a black studded belt holding his pants up, and many silver bracelets with studs on them. Despite his clothing, he seemed like pretty nice guy. Suzume could feel both men looking at her, she looked to Hatori, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Hatori pointed to the boy next to him, "This is Hatsuharu, he is your cousin. He is a year older than you." Hastuharu bowed politely, as did Suzume, she said as she bowed, "It is nice to meet you." After the formalities Hatuharu looked at Suzume, "So your still in Secondary school?" Suzume shook her head, "No, I start High School soon." Hatuharu raised an eyebrow, "But, you're only 14, right?" Suzume nodded her head, "Correct." Hatori then explained, "Suzume graduated early, she completed all the required classes, and more. So she was allowed to complete her final year early." Hatsuahru stared at her for a moment thinking, "Wow, this girl must be a real brain." Hatsuharu then asked, "So you're taking her to see Akito, right?" Hatori replied in his normal tone, "Yes. As a matter of fact, we should be going now." Suzume looked to Hatori, "He has been waiting long, hasn't he? I'm sorry." Hatori looked down to Suzume, "No, it's not your fault. I was driving slow." HatsuHaru looked to Suzume, "Hey, be careful around Akito." Suzume nodded her head, "Yes, I'll try, thank you." She bowed and turned to catch up to Hatori who had started off without her. Now her fears of Akito had heightened.

The two finally reached the steps to the Main House. There were only three steps, but still, the three itself seemed like a thousand. Hatori looked down at Suzume, he caught her staring at the steps, she wore no expression on her face, but Hatori could tell that she was scared, call it animal instinct, if you will. Suzume looked up, she saw him staring down at her, she climbed the three steps slowly, and they finally made their way inside. An old woman was there to greet them, her hair was mostly white, with black tip, and her face face had wrinkles, but mainly near her mouth. Her eyes were mean, and she wore a scowl on her face. She spoke in an irritated tone, "Hatori, you are late. Akito has been asking for you. Why do you have your cell phone off?" She looked down to Suzume not giving Hatori any time to explain and said in a rude manner, "You just got here, and you're already causing problems." Suzume looked at the woman an immediately bowed saying, "I apologize. I'm sorry." She rose back up, and the woman was staring at her, she sneered, "This way." Suzume and Hatori followed the woman down a dark and narrow hallway. Suzume was scared, she had tensed up since she met the woman. Hatori beared a bored expression, as if he didn't want to be here. He could be doing something more productive with his time.

The thre were now before a room, it seemed to have some light in it, unlike the hallway. The woman knocked on the door and said in a kind voice, "Master Akito, Hatori is here now with the girl." Akito responded in a happy tone, "Send them in." The woman motioned for the two to step inside. She opened the door, and closed it after they stepped in. Hatori led he way, he knelt before Akito, and Suzume walked over and kneeled next to Hatori. Akito was sitting in his chair, he wore a white kimono with a red obi tied around him. His hair was a little sloppy for an introduction, but he didn't care. He looked at the both of them until saying, "Hatori, it took you a long time to get here, but, I'll forgive you." Akito looked to Suzume, "So, you're Hideki's daughter. I liked Hideki, but he wasn't apart of my Juunishi, so we never had a bond. I was sad...when he left. But you're here, so in a way, he came back." Suzume smiled, unsure of how to respond to him. Akito then said, "Hatori, I want you to make sure that Suzume is not exposed to the likes of Tohru Honda. Make sure that there is no contact between them." Hatori had a shocked look on his face, he wasn't sure how he was going to make that happened, so he questioned Akito, "What do you want me to do?" Akito twirled his hair some and said, "First, Suzume will remain inside. I presume that she already knows, so she is permitted to stay here. She will be staying with you of course. I understand that she will be attending the same school as Yuki, Kyo, and that girl, so I want you to contact the staff of that school, and make it clear that I do not want Suzume near Ms. Honda." Hatori thought that Akito was being a bit extreme on the matter, but, nevertheless, he had to follow his orders, "Yes, I understand." Akito sighed, "I'm tired now. Please leave me in peace." Hatori rose from the floor, and Suzume did as well. Suzume bowed before Akito, and left the room.

Outside the Main House, Suzume finally asked, "Who's Tohru Honda? Is she a bad person, or does Akito not like her?" Hatori looked down to Suzume and replied, "It's...Complicated. Tohru is a very nice girl, but Akito, he's jealous of her. I'm not sure why. She lives with your Uncle Shigure." Suzume had a feeling that Hatori did know why, but he probably didn't want to tell her the truth, at least not now. Suzume looked forward, she looked at the car, "Will I meet Uncle Shigure?" Suzume could see a half smirk creeping up Hatori's lips, he replied to her, "I'm sure you will." Suzume opened the car door, she picked up her backpack, she grabbed her purse, and closed the car door. She slipped her backpack on and opened the trunk, she picked up her suitcase and followed Hatori to his house.

The house wasn't big, but it wasn't small, it was a tatami style place. It had two bedrooms one upstairs and one downstairs, two bathrooms, one upstairs, and one downstairs as well. The kitchen was small, and the dining room was pretty good for its size. The storm porch is where the washing machine, and the dryer were stored. The place itself seemed cold, like there wasn't enough life in the building. Hatori looked down to Suzume, "I had the room upstairs cleaned out before you arrived. That is where you'll be staying." Suzume nodded her head, "Thank you." She slipped off her brown penny loafers, and slipped into the pink slippers that were next to the blue ones, she knew that he got them for her, she smiled to herself. She walked upstairs, and saw her room on her left hand side. She walked in and saw a Zentai futon on a black frame that it held it from the floor. Suzume knelt down, setting her purse and suitcase down onto the floor, she slowly ran her fingers on the steel frame. It felt cool, due to the fact that a window was opened. Suzume slipped her backpack off of her shoulders and walked over to the window. She stared at the window. She could see over the wall surrounding the place, she saw the town she now belonged to. She had a decent view of the Sohma Estate, she could see the Main House, where Akito was staying, and where Hatori would mostly be. Suzume took a step back from the window, and saw a sliding glass door, that led to a balcony, she walked over to it, she placed her hand on the door handle, ready to open it, but stopped. She could see a reflection, an outline of a person standing behind her in the door way.

Suzume turned slowly to find a man, taller than her staring at her, he acted as if he didn't notice her looking at him. Suzume smiled at him, "Hi...I'm Suzume." The man looked to her as if he wasn't paying attention and said, "I'm Kureno Sohma. I heard about you from Hatori, I thought I would introduce myself before I went to see Akito." Suzume smiled, "Are you reated to him...Akito that is?" Kureno looked away, towards the hall, "I'm as related to him as you are...I share a broken bond with him." Suzume still smiled, "Oh, but you must get along with him, right?" Kureno looked to her, he returned the smile, "Yes, you could say that." Still smiling Kureno stood straight, he looked to Suzume, "I must go to Akito now. I'll see you another time. It was nice metting you." He turned and left. Suzume ran to the door way and poked her head out, shouting, "It was nice meeting you too." Suzume watched as he walked down the stairs, she thought to herself, "Wow, I thought Dad was lucky with his good looks, but I guess it's a family trait..." Suzume turned around went back into her room to finish unpacking.
