Tohru looked from Kyo to Kiora. "Sister? I didn't know you had a sister, Kyo-kun."

Kiora shook her head, laughing a little. "We're not really related. We just grew up together. Although we do treat each other with the same respect that siblings do."

Yuki smiled as he started eating. "And they fight like siblings too. Though Kiora can beat Kyo in a fight any day without trying.

Kyo glared at Yuki. "Damn rat! I'll kill you for saying that!" He jumped up and smirked. "Today's the day you die!"

Sighing, Kiora did a roundhouse kick against the side of her brother's head, sending him flying through the wall. "Do not pick fights with Yuki while he's eating."

Tohru gasped and rushed over to Kyo. "Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?"

Kyo pulled himself up and looked at Kiora. "That was a pretty sneaky thing you did. I never knew that you were that strong."

She chuckled softly. "I had to be. It was the only way to fend off my father when he was in one of his drunken rages." She sat down and started eating, ignoring the mutterings of her brother. "Kyo, if you really want to beat Yuki, you have to beat me first."

Shigure smiled as he sat down on Kiora's left. "That'll take forever for him to beat you. But I guess you knew that."

Glaring at Shigure, Kyo joined the others at the table and Tohru followed him. "So, if you're Kyo's "sister", then are you a member of the Zodiac too?"

Kiora nearly choked as she looked at Tohru. "I am cursed with a vengeful spirit like them, but I'm not a true member."

Tohru thought for a minute then she smiled. "Then you're trying to get into the Zodiac like Kyo, right?"

Shaking her head, Kiora lowered her gaze. "There's no place for my animal anywhere, so I'm not even trying. Some say that mine has no place for it anyway."

"What animal are you, then?"

"She's a silly little fox that shouldn't have run away from home." A man with black hair and hateful eyes was standing behind Kiora, glaring down at his daughter.

"What a surprise that you even care for me, dad. I'm even more surprised that you got out of bed to come find me."

"You're coming home right now." He reached down to grab the back of her shirt, but Kiora spun quickly around and swept his feet from under him.

"I'm not going back. I don't belong there and you don't deserve me anyway. So leave me alone!" She knelt over him with a knife pressed to his throat. "I suggest you leave, before she decides to show."

Her father got up nodding and turned towards the door. "Fine, but don't say that I don't care. I really do." With that he left, leaving Kiora standing there trying to control her nerves.

Kyo got up and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ignore him. He's nothing but a bully."

"You're right. I shouldn't let him get me all riled up."

Tohru laughed and looked at Kiora. "So you're a fox? I think that's pretty interesting. But I never heard of a fox in the legend."

"That's because that part never made it in the actual legend," Kiora said as she sat back down at the table.

Well, here's the second chapter. I hope you like it and please R&R.
