I opened the door, and there stood a tall man with dark blue eyes and black hair that hung over his left eye.
"You must be Hatori." I said indifferently. I guess you could say I wasn't pleased to be leaving my home, even though it could hardly be considered a warm, loving environment. "I'm Sakuranbo Sohma, but call me Kuran."
" Hello Kuran," he offered a small smile , but I could tell it didn't reach his eyes. "Lets be on our way, its cold and snowing tonight and it's a long way back to the main house." he acted as though this happened everyday. I nodded, swallowing back my shouts of protest. I bowed to Hana before I left, my heart dropping when I looked into her eyes. Poor girl. Not surprisingly my mother didn't come to say goodbye, good. I didn't want to see her. If she could hate me for no reason, then I could defiantly hate her for this one.
We walked out of the brightly lit house and into the dark night. The snow muffled our footsteps as we walked down the short path to a back car. The air was silent, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Hatori took my bag and gently placed in it the backseat, and I slid in after it. He sat in the drivers side and started the car. I took once last look at my bright old house, as we drove away into the dark night.
I never really ventured outside of the house. Ari was too ashamed to let people see me. So the bright city lights both intrigued and startled me.
"Are people at the main house nice Hatori?" I asked after a while, anything to brake the now awkward silence.
"Depends. The regular Sohma's are nice. And most of the juunishi." he chuckled at some private joke. " Tomorrow you meet the head of the family, Akito. And maybe Shigure and the others will come to visit you, pay their respects."
"Pay their respects? Who died." I asked. Confused on why people would come see me.
"You mean you don't know?" he seemed hesitant, like he didn't want to be the one to tell me something.
"Know what?" I said bitterly. "About the juunishi? Yes I obviously know, you just brought it up!" The car stopped at a red light. Hatori turned around to face me, with a very serious expression on his face. Concern clouded his eyes.
"You part of the zodiac, a major part." he said truthfully. My head reeled. I heard legends about the zodiac, but I never dreamed I would be apart of the Sohma secret. We sat in silence the rest of the way there, Hatori didn't try to talk to me and I didn't try to talk to him. He pulled into this tiny village, well, it was really just a cluster of houses. It had a certain homey quality to it. Hatori pulled into a spot a short distance away from a small building, unconnected unlike the rest of them.
"Tonight your going to stay here until Akito decides where you'll stay permanently." Hatori said as he got out and opened the door for me. The air was freezing and I felt it through all my furs and my pink kimono. At least I had expensive things. A/N: I didn't really describe her too much so sorry if its not really blended into the storyD:)
"that's ok with me." I agreed quickly to get out of this cold weather.
He led me into the house, the keys jingling as he unlocked the door. A light snow started drifting down, and suddenly I had a rash idea.
"I'm going for a walk." I felt something, an urge , a pull tugging me down a path leading towards the houses. Without another word I walked down a path onto a house. My shoes clicked on the wood. I didn't know what came over me.
"Your going to catch a cold!" Hatori shouted. Nothing on this earth could stop me from going to this place. Eventually I found a place where it veered off into a little garden , and across from the house I was standing at was another house. With an open door, and a dark figure sitting. Looking at the snow cover the frosty garden. Snow covered my clothes and stuck to my eyelashes. I had never once felt so much joy so much happiness ever in my entire life. But why?
" Hello!" I called to the person, a grin I couldn't suppress on my face.
"Come here girl." said a mans voice. The person extended an pallid hand out for me. Quick as a flash I ran over to him , and kneeled before the stranger. My furs draped around me also dragged on the ground. A/N Kuran is short lolls like me!) I beamed up at the handsome stranger. His skin was pale like the snow, like mine. His hair darker than the night sky above us with eyes just as dark. I looked at him, and could not for the life of the world tear my eyes away. It was like he was a magnet and I was steel.
"Tell me your name girl." the man said quietly, looking at me with intense concentration.
"Sakuranbo Sohma, otherwise known as Kuran." I answered faithfully.
"I will call you Saki , lost little juunishi." he placed the palm of his had on my cheek, his touch cool and soft.
"I'm not a juunishi." I said. " I cant be."
"But you are," he smirked. "And a very special one." he leaned down and planted a kiss on my fore head. "My little angel"
Nice little cliffy huh? Lolls if you wants some more review im already going to work on the next chapter.-sammi
