Hey, it's been a while, sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time I had a few outstanding work for school to get done and I was tired in the afternoons and now exams started, but the fourth chapter is finally here. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 4_Trouble in paradise

It was finally Friday and since the night on the roof Kyo hasn't said much to me, I knew he must be mad. I was waiting for the last bell of the day, but it felt like hours that the clock was ticking.

Finally I heard the chime of the school bell and packed away my things and left the class. I was still walking home alone, I was used to it so it didn't bother me, much.

I walked into the house and as usual Shigure popped his head out of the study. "Hi Shigure" I greeted with a smile.

"Still not walking home with the others?" He asked.

"No" was all I could say.

"Could you come in here for a second?" he said. I walked into the study and looked at all the books he had.

"Don't you think you should tell them?" He suggested.

"I can't if Akito finds out he'll make my life even more worst then it was before I lived here" I told him.

"I suppose you're right, but maybe it can make you and Kyo get a little closer" he said.

"I don't know, maybe I should just apologize for acting like I know everything, giving advice isn't one of my strong points, I always sound like I know everything, like I'm always right" I said.

"Well then, when do you intend on apologizing because I'm not letting you give up another meal" he said.

"You've noticed?" I asked.

"Yes, you eat until there's too much tension in the room then you make an excuse and leave, you might give Tohru the idea that you don't like her cooking" he said.

"Okay, I'll try apologizing tonight, if he'll even speak to me" I said giving a sigh.

"That's the spirit" Shigure said giving a smile. I heard the front door open and close. Shigure stuck his head out and greeted everyone. I smiled.

Later that day at dinner the room felt all tense again. "So Sakura are you enjoying yourself here?" Shigure asked.

"Yes and Tohru's cooking is to die for" I said smiling.

"Really, I thought you didn't like it you never clean everything on your plate" she said.

"I guess Shigure was right" I thought. "No, I really like it, I guess I just haven't been feeling all that well" I said.

"What's wrong are you sick?" she asked sounding worried. "Maybe we should call Hatori"

"There's really no need for that" I assured her.

"Probably home sick" Kyo said, but he didn't sound nice when he did.

"No, I'm not homesick at all" I said.

"Whatever" he said taking a bite of his food.

I tried to let it go and just continued eating. I tried to eat as quick as possible just to get out of the room. It was bad enough that he hated me, but that he had to sit in front of me at dinner was just torture, I didn't want to look at him it made me feel angry at myself, maybe even worst.

I finally gulped down the last of my food and quickly stood up off the floor. "Please excuse me" I said and left the room. I couldn't take much more of that.

"Now see what you did you stupid cat" Yuki said.

"I didn't do anything you dumb rat" Kyo said.

"If she didn't want to go home when Akito told her to, then why would you suggest she has homesickness?" Yuki asked.

"Because I don't want her here, it's bad enough at it is" Kyo said angrily.

"She's not a guest anymore Kyo this is her house too" Yuki told him.

"Whatever, she bothers me" Kyo spat.

"What does it matter, Tohru bothered you too and you don't have a problem with her being here" Yuki argued.

"Yeah, well she's actually a friend" Kyo said getting agitated.

"Stop it you two!" Shigure yelled. There was silence. "She's family Kyo even though she's far off family of ours, she's still family" Shigure explained.

"She wanted to apologize to you, I don't know what she did, but the point is that you're making it harder for her. She was kept in her room all her life and wanted so much to have friends and everyday so far she walks home alone, she wanted to meet all of you especially you Kyo"

Kyo almost gasped. He looked at Shigure. "Yes, Kyo she wanted to meet you, the cat from the Chinese zodiac, she wanted to be your friend. You might not know what that girl has been through, but I do, she's been through a lot and all you can do is act like this" There was silence in the room.

None of them have ever seen Shigure act like this before. Shigure finished his last bite and stood up. "If I were you Kyo, I'd go apologize" he said and went into his study and closed the door.

I was sitting on the roof, tears burning my eyes. All I wanted was to be friends with everyone and I've been here for a week and nothing, I felt so hopeless. I didn't know what to do anymore, my thoughts were going back to Sohma house, but I didn't want to face Akito.

Suddenly Kyo was walking towards me. I was getting up and was about to leave. "Wait!" he said. I looked at him standing there. "I'm sorry if I upset you, I didn't mean to"

The tears that were there couldn't help but run down my face. I was happy. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said anything about your other form, I know it bothers you a lot and I probably sounded like I knew all about it, but I'm not you, I don't know how it feels to be in that form, I can't even imagine what it must be like and I'm sorry, I'm very sorry if I made you angry" I explained.

He looked at me. I was still crying, I didn't know if I was sad or happy, I was happy that he apologized, but he didn't really do anything wrong, I just thought he was angry and it made me sad.

"Don't cry" he said coming a bit closer.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry" I told him trying to wipe my tears away. He felt bad for making me cry.

"Why don't we look at the stars together" he suggested. I saw him giving a smile.

It was the first time that I saw him smile and it made me happy, I couldn't help but smile too and nod at his suggestion.

We were both looking at the stars. "You know Kyo, I know you don't like me all that much, but do you think we could be friends someday?" I asked him.

He looked at me and I looked at him. We were lying next to each other our faces just inches apart. "I think we already are friends" he said.

"I'm glad" I said with a bright smile on my face.

I was happy that me and Kyo were friends. I smiled at the thought. I thought about his smile earlier and it made me blush. "This is a problem, he just said we could be friends and I already feel more" I thought as I threw a glance at him.

I continued looking at the stars feeling happy that the day ended like it did.
