Rei is not bad. She has a bad temper when she's around family, but she's really kind, and we had been good friends as children… for a while. While we were still friends I asked her

"Ne, Rei-Chan? How come everyone of the western zodiac has a sibling but you?" she had just giggled, and replied, as if it was the simplest answer in the world

"I have a sibling. No… I have two! Serna-sama, and Sawa-kun!" she licked her lollipop while she swung her legs off the side of the porch. I stared at her.

"Rei-Chan you're a liar!" I accused her.

"I'm not!!! Mama, papa, nii-san, and onee-san got their memories erased by one of the Sohma's!!!" they… they forgot Rei-Chan? I never told anyone except my brother Yuno. He could bring back their memories, but he always followed Serena' orders, and Serena never liked Rei.

I don't know why everyone was so afraid of Rei. Sure it looked like she was going to eat Izzy when we were kids… and sure she was in her monster form. But it was still Rei! She was freaking out! She told me before that it burned to be in that form. After that incident Serena banned almost all contact from Rei.

Rei is nice. No matter what anyone says, Rei is nice! If only you could see the warmth in her eyes, when she's around her friends, especially Elli. Or better yet you should see the way Elli talks, and thinks about Rei! To Elli Rei is like a saint, she hates it when people insult Rei, even just al little. If I didn't know better I would say that Rei saved her life to make Elli care for her so much! Thought it's creepy at times, it's mostly funny to watch…

-sokiko-

Duh-nuh-nuh thriller! La la la! Damn thriller song… damn Michael Jackson and his catchy songs!

"SOKIKO-SAMA~!!!" o.o no… please don't tell me

""IT'S EMIKO! LET ME IN!!!" T^T why do I have to be a baby sitter for her? I sighed knowing I wouldn't win a fight against her. Well technically I could… but Emiko would cry, and then Takeo would be after me T^T damn soul mates. We walked together to the throne room where the empress.

Issabella Elizabeth Momori or 'Izzy' as she prefers to be called is our empress. She has been destined to be our empress since her birth, and is the most powerful of us all. There are 7 people in line for the imperial throne. The order is as follows

:

Empress of spades- Issabella "Izzy"

King of diamonds- Takeo "take-chan"

Queen of clubs- Sokiko "birdie-sama"

First princess of hearts- Rei "Rei-Chan"

Second princess of hearts- Sochiro "the horrible bitch spawned from worms"

Jester/ joker- Emiko "'Miko-Chan"

Army general- chi "chi-Chan/ General Stupid"

We are all part of the Momori family… so basically our family rules the underworld. Kind of ironic if you ask me. The family, who is barely noticed on earth, is the most respected and feared in the afterlife.

We all have a special power; the empress's is every power. She can do anything than anyone else can. Takeo hardly ever uses his power but when he does it paralyzes his opponent and spreads venom in their body rotting it from the inside out. My power… well it has a glitch you could say… it has two settings. One can heal almost any wound, and the other… I prefer not to talk about… The next most powerful after me is Rei with her illusions. And then it was Sochiro with her ability to control people's minds. Then it's Emiko, with her ability to send your mind any place she wants. Then it's chi, he is the army general and has a weaker version of an already existing power that belonged to a man no one seems to be able to find. Chi can change the moods of people (An: LoL I made chi almost a complete rip-off of Jasper Cullen XD)

Along the way to see the empress, we passed by one of the maids. She had short white hair similar to mine, and light blue eyes, lighter than my own. She was my younger sister in life

"Konnichiwa Amaya" I said waving to her. She smiled a bit and acknowledged me

"Good afternoon your highness" I looked ahead once more at Emiko who was skipping and twirling and singing some random song she made up

"Down in the meadow there's a place~!

A place that leads to wonderland~!

Where nothing makes sense ever~!

But who really cares about sense!?~!"

Most people refer to this place as wonderland, mostly because as Emiko's song says, nothing makes sense.

"Izzy-sama is our queen~!

So much fun to play with her~!

Ta-keo, Rei, and so-ki-ko

Are fun to play with to~!!!" a child's innocence~ Riiiiiiiiiight -_-'

We finally made it to the throne room where the empress was looking at something in her hand. emiko yelled
"Izzy-sama!!!!!" and it scared the empress and she nearly dropped what she had in her hand, but the golden chain stuck to her finger, and dangling on it was a golden locket she had brought with her when she entered our world.
"Emiko" she tried to say calmly but there was a tense look to her.
"Gomenasai Izzy-sama, but I thought you were frozen or something" the empress's face went to a smile, that didn't nearly touch her eyes. She sighed
"so how are the preparations for rei-chan's birthday next week coming along?"
"very well my lord. Oh! And Takeo agreed 'not to take the cake' whatever that means..."
"Yay~! He won't steal my cake~!" she giggled. Her hair had somehow reverted back to her fiery red, while still remaining in her passive form.
"Ne, mama what's inside that locket? You're always looking at it so I figured it something special. So what's in it?!" the empress looked at emiko, then back at the locket, to emiko, then back to the locket again. She kept doing that for a while until 5 whole minutes had passed.

"_ just tell emiko what's in it mama!"
"It's... pictures...?"
"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?" I muttered to myself
"cause I'm retarded remember?!" she said stifling a giggle.
"Well even if you are we must go to do our daily rounds" she sighed
"yes ma'am" she said standing at attention. I smiled.
-Izzy-
sokiko-chan smiled. We went on our own ways to do our rounds and on the way I stopped to see chi-Chan
"chi-Chan~!" I said glomping him. He staggered forward, and them some of the soldiers he was training started smirking
"don't laugh at chi-Chan!" I ordered them. Ah, power. It's so good to have :)
"what is it you wanted my lord?" he said with a slight smile
"I came to check on you chi-chan. it's not good to only hang around serious people all the time y'know?" he laughed once and agreed with me
"ne, ne, chi-Chan~! Have you seen Takeo today?" he looked off into the distance and sighed
"I'm afraid not my lord"
"T^T aww! Oh well. Go on with what you were doing" and with that said I walked off through another portal to make sure that Takeo didn't eat my cake.
Which... HE WAS EATING!
I grabbed him from the collar and shook him
"you liar! You said you wouldn't eat my cake!!!"
well... today was a typical day
"you bastard!" I said while throwing him into a wall
-Elli-
after all the embarrassing times Momiji had seen my cry I have made a new resolution! No more crying in front of Momiji!"

-July 21 2009-
the sunlight shines in from my partly open curtain, and hits my eyes. I groan and roll over to my side... but there's nothing there so I fall to the floor and hit my head on the bedside table. T^T stupid table. I walked (more like trudged) to the living room where Momiji was watching cartoons and eating cereal while sitting on the floor.
"guten morgen Elli!" he said smiling brightly
"good ... morning Miji" he smiled and turned his attention to my head... well I think it was the icepack on my head ^///^
"what happened to your head Elli?!" he said getting up and leaning over my short frame (why do I have to be short?!)
"I fell off my bed again" he and Haru stifled a laugh.
"It's not funny!" I said crocodile tears slipping past my eyes.

he stopped laughing after a while and then he said
"but you have to admit it is funny" -_-
"fine" my phone started ringing the song kagome kagome, by Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka.
"Bonjour Mary~!" I said answering the phone
"WHERE'S MY CAKE?!" ^w^'
"..." I slowly closed the phone, and ended the call (an: xxxx means she doesn't know what they're saying)
"ne, Haru, xxxx xxxx to xxxx us that xxxx and xxxx are xxxx xxxx!" _ I'm not sure of what he mostly said, but Haru said
"well it's xxxx xxxx" damn my lack of knowledge of Japanese T^T
"Rei~!" I said trotting to the kitchen
"can you translate what Momiji and Haru were just saying?"
"... okay... something about a wedding...?"
"T///T wedding?"
-Momiji-
"ne Haru, Kisa called to tell us that Tohru and Kyo are getting married!"
"Well it's about time" I laughed as Elli walked into the kitchen.
"You like Elli don't you?" said Haru

"..... um... no?" maybe T///T
"yes you do" he said smirking.
"No Haru, I like her as a friend... I guess"
"liar"
"I'm not!"
"yes you are"
"no I'm not"
"you are"
"am not"
"yes you are"
"no I'm not!"
"are too"
"am not" this exchange went on for another 5 minutes before Rei came and knocked our heads together
"hey, Rei-chan ne fais pas ça pour eux!" Rei grumbled something and then stalked back into the kitchen then Haru muttered

"you like Elli" and then he ran down the hall a grin plastered on his face while I chased after him.

Envylamperouge: … yeah… really bored… it sucked! Fear the sucky-ness! X3 okay… so… when Sokiko is talking about the ranks the names in the quotation marks are what Izzy call those people.

And emiko's song is set to the tune of Momiji's song :3

And for the note (to Tyler and atsuko): no. the cake is a LIE.
