The next day Sora was still rather shaken. Chloe watched her closely to make sure she didn't have another break down. They had packed up camp not long ago and were on their way home.

They lived with Kent Sohma, older brother to Chloe Sohma as well as the Dog of the zodiac. He had short, dark blue spiked hair and dark looming eyes. He was about 22 but still acted like a teenager. He was tall and well built and could get any girl he wanted. He was a musician playing the guitar, violin, drums, and other various instruments. He was kind of famous, at least locally.

Kent was terribly fond of his perfect little sister. No one was good enough for her and that included the Cat. He was always scheming up ways to get rid of Sora but failed every time and often paid for it.

He was pretty much a big jerk when it came to Sora. He always said things to piss her off. He seriously hated her and no one was ever quite sure if it was because she was the Cat or because she was Chloe's best friend.

The house was fairly big and awfully nice but antique. It had been there for well over 200 years now. The home was handed down from Dog to Dog. The first to own the house had been Shigure Sohma. When Kent moved to his new home Chloe had come with him not being able to be apart from her brother. Of course Sora moved as well to be with her best friend though it took much convincing on the Rat's part.

They notice Kent on the porch once they were in sight of the house. "Thank goodness you're home sis, I was afraid Jinxy finished you off for good this time" He said taking his sibling into a hug and glaring maliciously at the orange haired girl.

"I told you not to call me that!" The Cat fumed as she trudged past the hateful Dog and up to her room. She already wasn't having a good day and didn't want to have to deal with him. She hated that nickname. Her family gave it to her because bad things always seemed to happen when she was around. Not to mention her little '"visions." Even if she wasn't there she was blamed.

"Damn Dog" Sora thought as she threw herself onto her soft bed. "I hate him so much! What I wouldn't give to get away from him" A soft knock came from the door, it wasobviously Chloe. "Come in" Sora said hugging her pillow tightly.

The Rat tiptoed over to her friend."I'm sorry Sora," The gray haired girl said looking down shamefully.

"What could you have possibly done to be sorry for?" She ask pulling Chloe's arm causing her to sit on the bed.

"I guess you're right," Chloe said with a sigh. "I just hate how Kent treats you and how I never do anything to stop it"

"You do keep Kent in line. He hates it when you're mad at him or won't speak to him, which happens every time he's mean to me or anyone else" Sora said with a false smile. "Besides he hasn't kicked me out yet. It's going to be lunch time soon, I better start cooking then huh?"

Chloe smiled brightly at her friend's sudden change in mood. "Alright I'll set the table" And with that the two companions headed towards the kitchen.

Sora began making some kind of soup. She loved cooking ever since Mama Xye taught her how. Mama Xye raised Sora after her mother left her at the main house. She was the only mother the Cat had ever known but one day she just vanished.

Soon it was done and she brought out the wonderful smelling dish to the dining room. Chloe and Kent were already sitting waiting to be served. After filling everyone's bowl the Cat took her seat.

"May this food be blessed, and not poisoned" Kent said a short prayer which earned him an icy glare from the pissed off Cat. Chloe looked down at her meal and began eating silently.

"So tell me about your trip, any unfortunate incidents?" The Dog said smirking.

"No" The orange haired girl answer softly yet sternly.

"No flaming marshmallows this time?" His smirk growing more menacing every second.

"We had a good time, brother," Chloe said smiling at her older sibling trying to get him to let up.

He couldn't help but melt under her beautiful smile and smile back himself. "I'm glad you didn't get hurt, sis"

"I'm finished," the Cat said set her bowl down roughly and turning towards the stairs.

"Oh Jinxy it's your turn to do the dishes" Kent called after her in a singsong voice.

The Cat spun around on her heels and glared hatefully at the Dog. Chloe's eyes widened, as the impending argument became known.

"It's always my God damn turn to do the dishes! I'm not your lowly servant! Why don't you do it yourself for a change and just leave me alone!" In a flash Sora was out the door and on the roof.

Chloe mustered as much of a glare as she could and sent it to her brother. "Fine I'll do the dishes" The Dog said with a defeated sigh.

Chloe went to her room and began to study, deciding to check on her friend once she calmed down.

Meanwhile on the roof Sora had positioned herself comfortably amongst the shingles. She really did love living here with Chloe, plus the house was perfect. It was an old 21st century home, very classic. No one even made houses from that time frame anymore.

It also fit her well. Sora was completely in love with that century. So many amazing things happened plus she loved their styles of clothing. She dressed usually in the traditional fashion from the time, which didn't help the mocking. She just couldn't help it. It was funny how people now actually wear cloths like the space people in the old movies she collected.

That put a smile on her face. "Wouldn't be something if I went back to the 21st century?" She thought to herself. It wasn't going to happen but it was a nice dream.

The light footfalls of someone else on the roof grabbed her attention. She barely glanced over to see Chloe taking a seat next to her. It was silent for a while till the Rat decided to speak up.

"I can see why you like it up here, it's really pretty" She stared out onto the horizon as the sun set.

"It's okay I guess" The Cat replied nonchalantly.

"I'm sorry, for Kent, I mean," She said trying not to offend her cross friend.

"Don't apologize. I chose to live here so I'll just have to put up with him. Besides I should be the one apologizing I shouldn't have exploded like that. I've just been a little on edge since I had that dream"

Chloe had a distant look in her eyes. "Are you going to the main house?" she asked not even looking at the person whom the question was addressed.

"Ya" Sora replied as she too looked out at the glorious colors that filled the sky.

"You want me to come?" Chloe asked with concern clearly in her voice.

She shook her orange head. "I'll be fine. I probably won't see you till school on Monday"

"I understand" Chloe said with a sigh. Whenever Sora had a vision she was ordered to go to the main house and report it to the head of the family. Needless to say the head of the family didn't like Sora in the least. She usually stayed a few days and left with injuries that ranged from physical to physiological.

The Cat and the Rat sat together watching the sun set, perfectly content despite the impending trip.
