Chapter 4
Senshi did things a little slower that she usually did this morning; getting up, getting dressed. The reason behind all of this is: One she did not sleep well with all the things running through her head, and Two she wanted to get to school on time instead of early. After getting dressed she set out what she was going to wear when she went to go see the head of the Shoma family.
Senshi paused and thought over how she only knew about the Shoma family for about three days and she was already meeting the head of the family. It felt strange and a scene popped in her head that she was going the she the 'head' to ask for someone's hand in marriage. Laughing to herself at how her thinking went that way, and she saw her friends waiting by the front doors.
"What are you waiting for?" Senshi asked walking up to Yuki and Tohru.
"Oh good morning Senshi-chan, we were waiting for you," Tohru said.
"Oh," she said tilting her head slightly to some side and smiled. " Thank you, and good morning to you, Yuki-kun, Tohru-chan."
"Good morning to you too Hidomi-san, let us head to class than," Yuki said and walked ahead of the two young women.
Once Senshi made her way into the classroom a girl with short pigtails came up to her. "Have you thought about it?" the girl asked Senshi.
"Yes, I did, but I am sorry I must decline your offer," Senshi said.
"What do you not like Shoma-kun?" the girl asked.
"No, I like him just fine, I just find it more pleasing to the both of us to be a friend that being in a fan club. Also I have found out that they have more respect for you when you are their friend than being in a fan club that they have," Senshi explained.
"Oh, were you asked to join someone else's fan club in your old school, and became his friend instead?" the girl asked.
"Who, who was he?" the girl asked finding herself curious for some odd reason.
"Suuichi minamino-kun," Senshi said as the teacher walked in and the girl sat down with her mouth agape and her eyes wide.
Surprisingly the day went by quickly, that was until lunch rolled around. As Senshi sat down out side and waited for her friends she was approached by three girls; the one ahead of them all seem to be the leader with her hair held with two bows and she seemed to be very mad.
"Yes?" Senshi asked politely.
"I heard that you know Shoma-kun and Minamino -san," the older girl stated rather than asked.
"Yes they are both very good friends of mine," Senshi said.
"You need to stop," the older girl spoke again.
"Mokoto-senpi you said that," a young girl, the same one she had spoken with before in class, tried to speak.
"Shut up she needs to know her place," Mokoto said.
"I do not understand; what is it that you want me to stop, me being their friends?" Senshi asked.
"They are," the girl started but stopped when Yuki showed up. "Good evening Shoma-kun," Mokoto said. "Yes good evening Mokoto–senpi," Yuki said and the girl just about fainted right then and there.
"We shall be off than," the girls said, and they all scampered away.
"All you alright Hidomi-san?" Yuki asked once everyone was gone.
"Yes, Yuki-kun, I am fine," Senshi said and the other came and they had a peaceful lunch beside the few rifts between Kyo, Yuki, and Arisa.
Once Senshi got home and greeted her mother she went up stairs to change. Senshi put on long silk black skirt that had a long slit in the back, about to the back of her knees, and a long silk black shirt with a small sweater even though it was spring it was still nippy at night. Slipping on her sandals she said good-bye to her mother and walked to Shigure's house.
"Good evening Shigure-san," Senshi said in greeting.
'Good evening to you too Senshi-kun," Shigure said eyeing her chosen apparel. "Yuki will be coming soon.
Yuki came out of the house a few minuets later, and they went on their way towards the main house.
'Why is Kyo-kun not coming with us?" Senshi asked.
"Because he is the cat, and the fact that he rather stay with Tohru-kun than come with us," Shigure said.
An 'Oh' was heard from Ai-Senshi and than it was silent.
Once they got there Senshi mused that the main house kind of looked a lot like her own minus the fact that her home was two stories and not one.
"Tori-san," Shigure said. "This is the girl I told you about, Ai-Senshi Hidomi."
"It is a pleasure to meet you Ai-Senshi-san, I am Hatori Shoma," Hatori said.
"It is also my pleasure to meet you too, Hatori-san," Senshi said bowing politely.
Hatori smiled slightly and motioned for Senshi follow him. Senshi passed smaller houses and she also passed a small boy who looked at her curiously. He had light brown hair and pretty brown eyes; Senshi could tell form his waves that he was one of the Zodiac. Senshi smiled slightly at the boy and continued to follow Hatori inside the main house, after she took her sandals off to join the other shoes piled at the entrance hall.
Hatori than led her to a room and opened it for her and motioned her again to step inside. She did just that and sat down on a cushion set there for her.
"So you're the girl," a voice resounded throughout the room. "You're the girl that the male of the Zodiac can hug with out transforming," the voice said coming closer and than a figure was visible.
"Yes I am," Senshi said feeling uncomfortable with the waves coming off the person walking up to her.
The person circled around Senshi giving her a good view of what the person looked like. The person had short black hair and a lose kimono on.
"You do not look any different than any other scheming girl," the person said. "I am Akito Shoma, Head of the Shoma family, bow in respect," Akito said now standing in front of Senshi.
Senshi did just that and than raised her gaze to meet Akitos'. "Do you think you can break the curse?" Akito asked
"No, I know that I cannot," Senshi said. "But I do know how to."
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW, YOUR JUST A LITTLE GIRL," Akito screamed.
"You are just like me, you your self are a girl and have a curse that they would not know what to do if she lost it, as would I," Senshi said
"What, how do you know? And you are not under any curse," Akito said.
"My curse is the reason how I know that you are a girl," Senshi said pulling back her hair.
Akito's eyes widened and she traced over the scar making Senshi shut her eye and making her blue eye shine brighter. "You did this to yourself?" Akito asked.
"Yes I tried to break my own curse," Senshi said.
Just than Senshi put her hair back and the door slid open with a slam and Yuki stood there panting slightly and his eyes dotting back and forth from Akito's hand that was still on Senshi's head and Akito, and than his eye's looked at Senshi.
Yuki straightened up and coughed into his hand, "I heard someone yell," Yuki said.
"Go away now and call Hatori in here," Akito said.
Senshi smiled and stood, bowed and backed out of the room sliding the screen shut.
"Are you alright, he did not do any harm to you did he Hidomi-san?" Yuki asked when they were far enough away from the room.
"No, I am alright, Akito-san just got angry at what I had told him," Senshi said.
Even though Yuki was curious as to what had go on, he did not pry into the matter.
After calling Hatori and telling him that Akito wanted him they made there way back to Shigure's house.
As soon as they made there way back Tohru ran out of the house and glomped Senshi making her trip backwards and Yuki caught Senshi and he steadied her with his hands on her shoulders. Senshi turned her head and smiled at Yuki and he let her go.
"Tohru, everything is alright, you can let me go now," Senshi said.
Tohru let go and bowed quickly in apology.
On the way back to Senshi's home Yuki decided to ask, " Are you sure that you are ok?"
Yes Yuki-kun, I am sure that I am alright," Senshi said "Would you like to come inside for tea?" Senshi asked as they reached the gate.
"Yes," Yuki said. Senshi pushed the button beside the giant Iron Gate, and she spoke, "Ai-Senshi Hidomi, and guest, Yuki Shoma." The gates opened up and they went inside.
"Good evening, Ai-Senshi-sama," Ikari said.
"Good evening to you too, Ikari-san. This is my friend Yuki Shoma-kun. Do you know where my mother is?" Senshi asked after introducing Yuki to Ikari.
"She is in the entertainment room, Ai-Senshi-sama," Ikari said.
"Thank you Ikari-san," Senshi said and she went up to the entertainment room followed by Yuki.
"Hello mother," Senshi said. "This is my friend Yuki Shoma-kun," Senshi said.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs.," Yuki said and took a bow. Senshi's mother nodded and waved off his bow. Senshi bowed to her mother and than led Yuki to the sitting area of the house. As soon as they sat down the maid for before came in with the tea and sat is on the low table the two teens were sitting around. Ikari glared at Senshi, and Senshi looked away. Yuki noticed but did not say anything. Before leaving the room the maid turned to look at Yuki and smiled warmly before she spoke, "If you need anything at all just call for me." And with one last glare in Senshi's direction she stepped back and closed the sliding door.
"You have a lovely home,' Yuki remarked as Senshi was pouring the tea for him and then for her self.
"Thank you," Senshi replied blowing on her tea before sipping it. "Yuki than took a sip of his own tea. Silence followed breaking every now and than with slurping for both occupants of the room.
"Akito really didn't harm you in any way?" Yuki asked again. Senshi sighed loudly before replying, " No, he didn't harm me," Senshi said pausing at first to remember to use 'he' instead of 'she'. Yuki's concerned eyes looked into her own considering over what she had said. Senshi looked out the window and saw the sun about to set, Yuki saw it too and spoke up, "I guess I should be getting home now."
I will show you the way out than," Senshi offered showing him the same manners that he had showed her yesterday.
After waving good-bye to Yuki Senshi went inside. She was slapped hard on the visible side of her face; this time is was hard enough to leave a bruise. Senshi looked up in slight surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. Those two boys won't be around for a while. I over heard your mother on the phone. She told be to tell you that they won't be back for a month and just before school starts again," Ikari said and a sickly smile was smeared across her face.
Senshi closed her eyes and tried to make as little noise as possible as blood started to pour from her mouth, she didn't want to alert her mother.
