Me: 'Ello my peoples! I'm glad to back!

Kyo: I'm not. You cursed me even more than my creator did. (Pouts)

Me: Awww…Cute Kyon-Kyon.

Kyo: (Glares at EGP) Do. Not. Call. Me. Kyon-Kyon!

Me: Fine, Kyonkichi.

Kyo: YOU BASTARD!!!!

Me: ….Anyway, most of the people that reviewed the last chapter were probably thinking. "Oh shit, Ayame's scary...But the explosion sauce was hilarious, so who cares?" and "Poor Kyo. He's like a dog on a leash controlled by its owner now. And Rena's the owner!"

Kyo: I still haven't forgiven you.

Me: Too bad. But anyway, Momitchi and Haru will arrive in a few chapters! What I'm really looking forward to is Kakeru, Kimi, Machi, and Naohito joining us, but it won't be for a LOOONG while…Oh well.

Kyo: (groans) Let's get this over with.

Rena: Okay, crash boy.

CRASH!

Kyo: Not that!

Me: I own nothing but Rena and a few other things! But mainly, Rena!

Rena: Yep, that's me!

Kyo: Shut up so we can start the chapter.

Chapter Ten

"I still can't believe your stupidity Kyo. I had to work overtime because of you. I was suppose to get out at 8 o'clock, but noooo, someone had to play with the explosion sauce." Rena shot Kyo another glare.

"Look dammit, if you didn't want me to use the sauce, you should've not brought it." Kyo retorted as he, Rena, Yuki, Tohru, Ayame, Hatori, Shire, and Shigure walked home.

"And then on top of that, no one had any cash on them! How do you come to a restaurant and know the food isn't free and still not have ANY money?!?!" Rena exclaimed in bewilderment.

"When it came time to pay the bill, Kagura was out! She ran all the way home!" Shire exclaimed.

"I'm gonna get her next time." Kyo growled. "Not unless she hugs you to death first." Yuki muttered under his breath.

"I-I had some money, I offered you it, but you wouldn't take it." Tohru spoke up. "Oh no Tohru, I could never make you or Yuki pay for it. What kind of friend would I be if I did?" Rena took Tohru's hands while she talked to her.

"You're forgetting who had to pay the bill!" Kyo fumed. "You started this mess, it's only fair that you paid the bill." Rena growled.

"We're home!" Ayame cried. "Home?! You don't live here you stupid snake!" Kyo yelled at Ayame.

"Home sweet home!" Shigure walked into the house. "Great. Now it's 12 midnight. I wasted my whole day at that stupid diner." Rena grumbled, crossing her arms.

"Would you quit complainin'? It's aggravating!" Kyo shouted at Rena. "Crash." Rena mumbled under her breath, walking to the house.

CRASH!

"OW! DAMMIT RENA!!!"

"Oh, um, uh, Kyo-kun, are you al-alright?!" Tohru asked, worried and freaking out at the same time.

"Don't worry about him Miss Honda. That stupid cat's too arrogant to let something like that kill him. As long as he's not dying or bleeding, you shouldn't worry. That hard head of his stopped his fall anyway." Yuki led Tohru into the house.

"Ow…come back here you stupid rat! Dammit! My insides…are bleeding…I can't feel my…body…" Kyo twitched in pain.

----------

"Why is she still here?" Kyo asked as the spell from his beads finally wore of and sat down in the living room, which is where he found everyone, including Rena.

"Don't worry Kyo, I won't tell you to crash unless you really deserve it." Rena assured the Cat of the Juunishi.

CRASH!

"OW DAMMIT!!!" Kyo cursed loudly. "Ooops, sorry Kyo! I didn't mean to say it that time!" Rena apologized.

"Like that's suppose to make me feel any better!" Kyo snapped. "Humph!" Rena huffed, crossing her arms and turning her back on a pained Kyo.

"Well, if you want to be rude, then fine, I'll say it. Crash boy."

CRASH!

"AH!"

"Shigure, do you have any rooms for us to sleep in tonight?" Ayame asked. "Oh, you're staying over?" Shigure asked.

"Yup! Is that okay?" Shire inquired. "Oh sure! Let's see…Hatori could sleep in the guest room, Ayame can sleep in Yuki's room, and Shire, you can sleep in Kyo's room!" Shigure told the three men.

"Or I could sleep in your room, Shigure…" Ayame smirked. "Please Ayame. Not in front of the children." Shigure smirked back.

"Cool!" Ayame and Shigure held their thumbs up. "…Uhhhh…Did I just miss something?" Rena asked, confused.

"Not, but you could always do what Kagura did and RUN HOME." Kyo suggested. "Not unless you want to wind up dead and have Akuryous and their Dark Lord rule the world!" Rena snapped.

Kyo snorted, "I don't need your help to stay alive, brat."

"Tohru-kun, can I share a room with you for while?!" Rena asked the onigiri eagerly, ignoring Kyo.

"Sure! I don't see why not! It'll be great!" Tohru smiled. "Yay! My new roommate!" Rena hugged Tohru.

"ROOMMATE?!" Kyo yelled in bewilderment, anime falling. "YOU'RE STAYING HERE?!" "Well, yeah. She has to. And we're her legal guardians, you know, so we have to stay too." Shire responded.

"Until Rena is able to train the four of you, help you awaken all of your powers, and with your help, successfully save the past, present, and the future, she has to stay around us, so I figured Tohru wouldn't mind sharing her room for awhile." Shigure told the group.

"I don't mind! I've always wanted a sister!" Tohru smiled at Rena, who smiled back as they held hands and jabbered away.

"She…She's staying…?" Kyo twitched. "Let's be real sisters Tohru! Or do you want to be half sisters?" Rena asked.

"Let's be…Half Sisters! That has a nice ring to it!" Tohru exclaimed. "YAY! Tohru-nee, I love you!" Rena hugged Tohru.

"I love you too, Rena-nee!" Tohru hugged Rena. "That's so cute." Ayame chuckled. "There's so many hearts in the pink background."

"Please don't remind me. It's…disgusting." Kyo muttered. "So Rena…Are you going to school with Tohru tomorrow?" Shigure asked.

"Naturally. Princess Rena has to maintain a sharp mind." Hatori responded. "Yeah, well, let's just say Rena ain't the brightest of crayons." Kyo mumbled.

"Hey! I am too bright! I'm so bright, I'm dull!" Rena exclaimed.

-Silence-

"…That…Makes no sense." Yuki blinked a few times. "Yeah, Because I'm cool like that. I'm so cool, I'm hot." Rena replied.

-More Silence-

"Please, stop it! Don't do it anymore! It's too stupid! I can't take it anymore!" Kyo almost begged for Rena to stop comparing and contrasting opposites.

"But…But I've been learning very hard! My teacher says those are really cool lines!" Rena insisted.

"Oh really. I wonder just who tried to teach to something cool." Yuki glared at Ayame.

"It wasn't my fault! I swear! Some geeky kid was saying it, so I assumed it was really cool!" Ayame said quickly, holding up his hands and trying to stop Yuki's glowing eyes.

"AND SINCE WHEN WERE GEEKS COOL?!" Kyo yelled at Ayame. "YOU'RE GONNA HAVE HER LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT, AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT, BECAUSE IF SHE LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT WHILE SHE'S WITH US, IT MAKES US LOOK LIKE IDIOTS TOO, STUPID!"

"But…I thought you were an idiot." Ayame murmured. "What was that?" Kyo growled, joining Yuki and glaring dangerously at Ayame.

"I kid, I kid!" Ayame said fast, trying to stop the furious teens from ripping him to shreds.

"Um…I think I'll go make dinner now." Tohru inched away into the kitchen. "Rena, if you love me and don't want me to be assassinated, say the magic word! Please, save me and say it!" Ayame squeaked.

"Crash!" Rena said just before Kyo was going to pounce on Ayame. Yuki jumped back in the nick of time, so he didn't get hurt.

"Why you little --!" Kyo began fuming, trying to sit up, but Rena made her lips form the word 'crash', warning Kyo to leave Ayame alone.

"Grrrrr….WHY WON'T THIS STUPID THING COME OFF?!" Kyo pulled on the bracelet, but all it did was glow.

"Because, stupid, only I can take it off." Rena responded. "You're cruel." Kyo whined. "Runs in the family." Rena replied, walking into Tohru's room.

"So…This is Tohru's room…" Rena looked around Tohru's room. "Time to make my bed!"

Rena snapped her fingers and a large bed with a blue sheet, a black pillow, and a blue blanket that was folded over about 3 inches at the top was black. (The other side of the blanket is black.)

"Hmmm…My bed looks so out of place in Tohru's pink room!" Rena laughed. "But…That's just like me. I…I'm out of place. I don't belong here. Where I belong is where He wants me to be."

"I belong in my dark little room. I belong to be confined. Just like he wants me to be." Rena whispered.

"I'm only going to cause Tohru trouble is I stay. I have to accomplish my mission fast – I don't want to burden the others."

"They have no idea what they'll be up against. It's not fair that they have to fight. It's…It's not fair that now…They can't be free. Not as long as I exist."

"Kyo…Kyo, I'm so sorry. I'm probably the last person you'd want to see. Or at least the last person the spirit of the cat would want to see." Rena sat down.

"All of you. You may not remember, but your spirits do. As does mine. After what Inami – my carnation – did to you all 2,000 years ago, I didn't think you'd accept me being here."

"I hold so many dark secrets in my heart. So many that I'll have to share with you all, sooner or later. And then you'll see…What Inami did…Was unforgivable."

"God may have ordered it…But the cat and the others…Didn't deserve their never ending curse."

"My goal is to break that curse. And I fully understand that the only way for the curse to fully be broken, for there to not be another generation of Juunishi after this generation…I would have to pay the ultimate price. By Tohru's hands and her hands only."

"Maybe if she knew the truth…If she knew what Inami did…She'd want to kill me. Then they'd all be happy."

"The only reason the curse exist is because of Akito and me. Akito is God. And if I'm part of the curse…Then who do you think I am?"

Rena's eyes flashed white. "It's you again, Inami." Rena mumbled to herself. "It's been quite awhile since I've last heard from you."

"So. They are allowing you to stay, are they?"

"Yes, they are. It's funny how they all can be so friendly after what we've done."

"Rena, you weren't even NEAR being born, nor where they. What happened was me and Itachi's fault. You have nothing to do with it."

"Inami…I haven't been sensing any Akuryous lately…Does that mean…The Dark Lord's already at work?"

"Yes. That's exactly what it means, Rena. You mustn't waste anymore time. You and your friends must start training. The World's End is coming closer."

Rena snorted to herself. "Can't I at least go to school without being reminded that the World's existence rest on my shoulders?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to die."

"Please. You have nothing to live for. You're just…here. In my body."

"Rena. You understand that I will have to speak with the Cat soon, don't you? You do realize you'll have to tell them everything, don't you?"

"Things aren't just that simple, Inami. You can't just pop up like this. One, because when you do that, I feel very strange and weird and it's not fair that you can just pop up out of nowhere and start bossing me around. Literally. And Two…Kyo will chop my head off and eat me if you tell him what happened between you and the cat."

"Perhaps."

"Inami…Please, just wait a little while longer. Let me keep control until I can't anymore, okay? It's kinda freaky that you can just steal my body away whenever you want, so don't do it." Rena took of her shoes.

"…Alright. But you have to promise me that when you see Akito again, you will tell them everything and let me come out."

"Alright, old woman!" Rena laughed.

"Hey, respect your elders!"

"Not if my 'elder' won't shut up so that I can go to bed!"

"Fine then! Be that way! But for real Rena, you've gotta start training if you hope to get those humans ready for the Akuryous coming our way soon."

"'Kay. I will. But first, let me go to school tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, after school, I'll get as serious as I can!"

"…Don't hurt yourself trying to concentrate. I still need you to live."

And with that, Rena's eyes turned black again. "She's rude." Rena thought. "But I can't wait to go to a real school tomorrow! And maybe I'll be put in Tohru's class!" Rena laid down on her bed.

"Maybe I'll be able to meet some of Tohru-kun, Kyo-kun, and Yuki-kun's friends…Yeah…I'll do my best!" Rena thought, trying to get to sleep.

-----------------

"Hatori, I need to speak with you. About Rena and Akito." Shigure murmured to Hatori, who nodded his head.

"Shire, Ayame, why don't you go and see to it that the Princess is in bed? She needs rest for tomorrow." Hatori suggested.

"But she hasn't eaten yet!" Tohru returned with dinner and set everyone's food on the table.

"It would be a shame if she missed Miss Honda's cooking." Yuki reasoned. "She's never had any of Miss Honda's delicious cooking before."

"So what?" Kyo sneered. "I think she's better off sleeping anyway! That way she can't annoy me!"

"Don't say let her hear you say that!" Shire warned. "And just why the hell shouldn't I?" Kyo demanded. "What, is she gonna 'crash' me?"

"No, worst. She'll start crying." Shire replied. "Crying?" Kyo repeated, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms.

Shire nodded. "She doesn't like to act like it, but she really does look up to you, and Yuki. You're, unfortunately, a role model. An idiotic role model. Ever since she was a little kid she wanted to be like you, minus the arrogance and stupidly, because you were so strong and powerful back in the Future."

"What do you mean was?" Kyo growled. "I don't mean anything by it! Honestly! I'm just saying you're much stronger 1,010 years from now!" Shire exclaimed.

"But seriously, have you EVER heard that girl cry when she's really upset? It's SUPER LOUD! She sent sound waves all over the place and broke my house! My ears bled until I was almost deaf the last time!"

"AND I SHOULD CARE WHY???" Kyo yelled at Shire. Look, this pointless conversation is irrelevant! Fine! Do whatever you want! I don't care anymore!" Hatori stood up.

"Let's go Shigure." Hatori pulled Shigure, dragging him by the back of the collar of his kimono.

"Where are we going?" Shigure asked, still being dragged. "Your room." Hatori answered bluntly as he dragged Shigure into his room.

Tohru blinked a few times before snapping out of it. "What's up with them?" Kyo asked. Tohru shrugged.

"I dunno, but dearest Yuki, I shall be sleeping in your room tonight, my sweet brother!" Ayame sang.

The next thing you knew, Yuki was gone, followed by the slamming and locking of a door, and furniture being propped up against it.

"…He…obviously doesn't want to sleep with you…" Tohru sweat dropped. "Or even share the same room with you, for that matter." Kyo muttered under his breath.

"I can't say I blame him."

"I…I didn't even see him get up and leave! He was moving too fast for us to see! Dang, that boy can really run when he wants to!" Shire exclaimed.

"Maybe he didn't like your singing, Ayame. I know I didn't." Kyo retorted. "Oh fine then. Lucky Kyo, I guess I'm gonna have to sleep in your room tonight." Ayame sighed loudly.

"Hell no! You ain't sleepin' with me, you filthy stinkin' snake!" Kyo shouted. "AND DON'T CALL ME LUCKY KYO!!!"

"Whatever you say, Lucky Kyo." Ayame replied, angering Kyo even more. "Hey…You guys…Do you think it's okay to let Rena go to Tohru and Kyo and Yuki's school?" Shire asked.

"Hn? Why wouldn't she be able to go? What's wrong with that?" Ayame inquired.

"There's nothing wrong with the idea of her going to school with Tohru. It's just…Rena's…Not like them. She's somewhat…alone. At heart, at least. And…I've got a strange feeling that something bad's gonna happen." Shire told the group.

"Rena has always been like that ever since her family was murdered 6 years ago. She won't let anyone in on her true feelings. And I know something bad's gonna happen, but…" Ayame trailed off.

"As long as Tohru-hime and Yuki-dono are there, she'll be alright." And just what about me?" Kyo demanded.

"What about you?" Shire asked dully. "I promise you, Yuki and I will do everything in our power to protect Rena's secret!" Tohru assured Ayame and Shire.

"It's not the secret we're worried about. It's…her reaction to being exposed. She needs to be extra careful now. There's too many people around her for her to make any careless mistakes. Because they might…Cost them their lives." Ayame thought.

"Helloooo, what about me? Aren't you forgetting someone?" Kyo waved his arms. "No…I don't think so…" Ayame murmured, thinking about what he could have possibly forgotten.

"ME, YOU DAMN IDIOT!" Kyo yelled right in Ayame's ear. "Ow…You didn't have to be so loud." Ayame whined. "And rude."

"Awww…Does K yon-Kyon feel left out and unwanted?" Shire taunted Kyo. "Don't call me Kyon-Kyon." Kyo's veins popped out of his head.

"Why not, Kyon-Kyon?" Shire asked. "Because it's fricken retard!" Kyo retorted.

"KYOOON- KYON!" Shire sung. Kyo whacked Shire upside his head. "Shut up, ya damn dog." Kyo sneered.

"Look what the cat dragged in." Shire mumbled in pain as he laid on the floor, his eyes replaced with swirls and a large lump residing on her head.

"Well, since Yuki won't let me sleep in his room, and Kyo won't let me sleep in his, and Hatori DEFINITELY won't let me stay in the guest room with him, I guess I'll have to sleep in Tohru-chan's room!" Ayame exclaimed.

"You'll do no such thing, you sick pervert!" Kyo boomed. "Aw, fine." Ayame huffed. "But I'm gotta sleep somewhere tonight."

"Why don't you just go and sleep outside?" Kyo grumbled. "In the rain? No way! I'd transform!" Ayame cried.

"Then put a coat on and sleep in the sewers!"Kyo stood up, handing Ayame a coat irritably.

"No way Kyon-Kyon!" Ayame laughed. "Stop callin me that!" Kyo raged.

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO."

"YES."

"NO!"

"YES!"

"YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!"

"OH, I"LL CATCH YOU ALRIGHT! COME BACK HER YOU STUPID SNAKE!"

"NEVERRRR!!!"

"Grrrrr….I HATE YOU EVEN MORE THAN I HATE THAT DAMN YUKI!"

"GOOD!"

"This is gonna be a loooong night." Shire sighed, sweat dropping as he stood up and walked away.

"Um, guys - !" Tohru tried to stop the boys' argument.

"PUT MY MILK DOWN! N-NO! DON'T DRINK IT! IT'S MINE!!!" (It's those stupid cat senses taking over again, lol)

"Oh well! It's too late, because I already drunk it, Kyonkichi!"

"I'LL KILL YOU, DAMMIT!"

"Um, guys?" Tohru sighed before giving up.

Me: End of chapter 10! That was a nice sized chapter, wasn't it?

SWD: I suppose.

Me: Here's something to ponder on for the next 12 to 16 chapters: The Sohma Family are the Juunishi, and Akito is God. But if Rena is part of that same curse as well as he own…Then who is she is he is neither God nor part or the Juunishi?

Kyo: An idiot.

Rena: Crash

CRASH!

Kyo: OWWW!!!

Me: I'm not gonna tell you guys much anything for the next 12 to 16 chapters.

SWD: You're kidding, right?

Me: No, this story will have over 30 chapters. Right now, I'm working on righting chapter 20.

SWD: …You write too much.

Me: I know. But currently, 7 of those chapters, they're actually in school.

SWD: Okay, how can you make 10 chapters about them being in school without it being boring?

Me: (grins) Let's just day I have a creative mind.

SWD: (backs away slowly) Freak.

Me: And proud of it.

Kyo: That's not something to be proud of.

Rena: Read and review please!
