-Elli- august 31-

Today was my first day as a college girl! Whoop! XD it was fun! And I went to taco bell for lunch! XD when Momiji and I got back from school there was a note on the kitchen counter from Rei-Chan

Went out to a movie with Lulou. I don't know where Haru is. Don't ask about Lulou . I kill you later

-Rei

I smiled.

"Where's Rei?" Momiji asked from the kitchen

"She's on a date with Lulou~! XD" Momiji and I started laughing a lot.

"So she still likes him?"

"I guess so" just then the door burst open and Rei-Chan ran inside with just her light cotton dress on, no shoes, not her hat or necklace or anything else she usually wore. She ran past us and down the hall. A second later Lelouch ran in to

"Lulou! What happened to Rei? She seemed upset" he looked in her main direction and stammered

"r- Rei! She! - A bird! BIRD!"

-Momiji-

"r- Rei! She! - A bird! BIRD!"

'Rei-Chan is the phoenix if the western zodiac'

Oh no… does this mean that he saw her transform?

"She! There was fire! And then a bird! She's a bird!" I ran down the hall to find Rei. I knew that it was frightening when someone thought of us as monsters because of the curse. I heard her quietly sobbing behind one of the bathroom doors. I opened it quietly and saw her curl up in the corner crying. In the short months I knew Rei she never cried. And I never expected her to. She seemed like the person who would rather laugh that cry at anything.

"Rei, what happened?" I said kneeling down beside her

"He *hic* saw me" she wiped away some of her tears and continued

"We *hic* were on the way *hic* to the movies *hic* and he hugged me *hic* I forgot to wear my charms *hic* today and I *hic* transformed *hic*" I draped an arm around her to comfort her, but I didn't want to let her transform again so I kept a slight distance

"It's alright Rei; it's not the end of the world"

"You didn't see the way he looked at me! He was absolutely terrified of me!" she continued sobbing

"It happened again"

"Again?"

"The last time… it was two years ago… that day when I attacked you and Izzy…"

"…" I was taken aback by this

"What happened that day?"

"He was walking me over to the Momori estate , and it began to rain…" she stopped then

'She's nice. When you don't try to befriend her. Ignore her and she won't hurt you. That's the thing with her. She doesn't like being too close to anyone. It only causes pain' is this what Izzy meant by that?

She stopped crying and screamed

"I hate this! This is exactly why I hate getting close to people!" she pushed me away and stood up.

"But you seemed to like hanging around us before"

"But it's hard" she whispered

"I'm not accustomed to being around people. Because of the curse I was isolated from my own family. I loved Lulou, but after he found out that day…"

-Rei-

-flashback-

Lelouch was walking me to the estate.

"Ne Rei-Chan how come you never let me hold you?" I tensed up

"I'm… claustrophobic…"

"I don't believe you~!" he said poking my side. I giggled and pushed him away

"Well believe it lover boy" he laughed and tried to hug me

"No Lulou! I'm serious!" then he really did hug me. I felt the pop of the transformation and the look on his face. It was terrified. I looked down. My feathers were scarlet… it wasn't normal. We were in a small clearing when this happened and I felt like I was going to cry. He started to run away. I tried to call out to him, but I was interrupted by a little kid screaming. It was a little boy and he was running to the estate and away from me. With Lelouch gone and that boy most likely going to tell who ever was at the estate

A little while later while I was trying to clear my head a voice filled my head

"Rei… long time no see" it was from two people.

"I'm not here to hurt you. Just the opposite. I'm here to help" Again it was from two people. One of them I saw. It was Izzy, but the second voice was Sochiro. In my head trying to gain control of my body. She managed to succeed. The actions that took place after that were hers. Not my own. (An: go to chapter 12 of forbidden fruit to see what happened because I'm too damn lazy to go copy paste and edit the p.o.v TwT)

Then Sochiro uncontrolled me, I was pinned to the ground my Yuki and Kyo and she went to go make a deal with Izzy… I could have stopped it…

-End flashback-

"But after he found out that day… he got his memory erased. I never saw him after that until when he moved in here. And he started liking me again and… I guess my feeling never went away… and I guess it's selfish of me but I don't want him to forget this time…"

-Elli-

(Random AN: . so much p.o.v. changing!)

I led Lelouch to the couch and sat him down.

"Explain clearly and slowly what happened"

"Rei-Chan turned into a bird!" my eyes widened. And then I punched him in the arm

"Don't say such things about Rei-Chan!"

"But she did! Look!" he took out his phone and showed me a video

"I remember that she didn't like hugs so I wanted to get her reaction on tape and THIS happened" the video started playing. It was from the angle he was at. It was shaky but it was there. He had hugged her and then there was fire and she moved into the alley, the strange blue fire ebbing away to reveal a large beautiful bird with golden wings and light blue eyes.

"Rei… Chan…?" she… she turned into a bird…

-Rei-

After I stopped crying a thought popped into my head. What if Elli believes Lelouch? Would she think I was a monster too? Would she not want to see me again? I gasped

"What's wrong Rei?" Momiji asked me from the floor

"Lelouch. Elli… what is he tells her?" I panicked and ran out of the bathroom and to the living room… he was showing her the video of my transformation (that I didn't even know he had!)

"Rei… Chan…?" she saw it too… there was a ripping feeling in my chest

"She's so…" repulsive. Disgusting. Freak of nature.

"Cute :3" O_O …. What?

"… but she turned into a bird" Lelouch said D8 don't kill the moment you fag!

"But she's a cute bird :3"

"But she turned into an animal"

"And what exactly is so wrong with turning into an animal? If I turned into a lion, which I admit would be totally badass, that wouldn't mean I was a bad person"

"She kept a secret from you"

"… okay… that makes me slightly self conscious that she wouldn't trust me q_q … but either way I would have kept this kind of thing from people too!"

"O.o she turned into a bird. And she was on fire"

"So you admit she's hot~! XD" Elli said cracking up. O.o she just turned one of my most well hidden secrets into a joke and Lelouch is still in shock… O.O

"=_=' she turned into a bird for crying out loud!"

"But Rei-Chan is still Rei-Chan and I don't think she meant us any harm at all so why should we care? Plus I think she was upset at your reaction" Lelouch looked disappointed

"I'm just shocked that she would keep such a thing from me"

"Did you not hear yourself talking?"

"It's unnatural, sinister-!"

"Cursed?" Momiji ended. Lelouch and Elli noticed us in the hall way for the first time, and they looked ashamed

"… " was Lelouch's rebuttal

"And Elli's right I doesn't matter if Rei turns into an animal"

"μόνο επειδή έχετε μετατραπεί σε ένα ζώο πολύ ~!" *only because you turned into an animal too!*

"Huh?" they said simultaneously

"You know what I said bunny-boy _"

"^_^ looks like Rei is back" Momiji announced

"Εξακολουθώ να πω καλούμε Hatori-sama να διαγράψει τις αναμνήσεις τους" *i still say we call Hatori-sama to erase their memories* Momiji still got the gist of what I meant by the word 'Hatori' he knew I wanted their memories erased. I sighed.

"well Rei-Chan why were you so upset?"

"…" because if you know then Serena will undoubtedly find out and have your memories erased… she'll have them erase all of your memories of me instead of just the ones of today… I don't want that to happen… you're one of my first real (and alive) friends… o.o wow… so sappy…

"You're not going to answer us are you?"

"/ I have my reasons!"

-Momiji-December 15-

I walked back out into the hall. I don't know why Elli complains about the weather now a day, it was a lot colder in Japan. It's pretty warm for December though

"Stupid global warming!" Rei yelled throwing the control at Lelouch.

"Ow!"

"Shut up!" :) yup things are normal as always.

"Hey where's Ell-"

"BOO!" she yelled from behind me. I screamed (… it was NOT like a girl… maybe TwT)

"God damn it! It's the middle of December and it's still warm outside! What the fucking hell!" the day after Lelouch found out about Rei being cursed, he didn't seem to remember anything about it…

I haven't asked Rei if she knows anything about it… but I'm pretty sure she does…

With Elli on my back (she jumped on there when she scared me) I walked into the kitchen to get my breakfast. Elli and I had gone on a date… we were forced to do so by Rei Haru and Lulou…

Yeah…. Forced… let's go with that… /

"Miji~! Can you reach the cereal for me?" he asked trying to reach it from the highest cupboard, but her arms were too short

"I can't or you'll fall"

"Will not"

"Will to"

"Not"

"To"

"Not"

"To"

"Not"

"Fine" I let go of her and she fell onto the floor screaming

"Told you so" I said trying not to laugh

"I wasn't ready!"

"Riiiight~" she laughed and held out her hand for me to help her up. After I did she said:

"Momiji, I you want to go on a date later?" O_O that was blunt

"Ok!" I said a bit too cheerfully. She laughed at that and then tried to reach the cereal I had forgotten to get for her. It was way out of her reach so after a few minute of watching her struggle (which was sort of [really] funny…) I grabbed it and handed it to her

"I've never noticed you were so short" I said teasing her

"/ shut up! I'm not short! You're just … freakishly tall!" I had to laugh at this. So being 5'10 makes me freakishly tall? Fine. Being '2 makes you short. So there. (an: does this mean I'm really short?)

"Fine, fine, fine I'll stop saying that you're… short"

"Shut up~!" she punched my arm

… Or at least tried to…

I didn't feel a thing though.

"Du Schwein!" *you bastard* I laughed

"Sie schön groß-"

"I'm beautiful?" translation for the last line Elli said: you tall beautiful-!

"O/O I said no such thing!"

"Did too"

"Shut up!" she yelled into my chest muffling the noise somewhat I laughed

"WILL YOU TWO JUST ADMIT YOU LIKE EACH OTHER ALL READY?" Lelouch and Rei whispered (loudly) from the doorway. I liked Elli. I liked her a lot. She was like the sun (A: N: no it's not twilight related god freaking damn it Lucy!) she was like a healing balm toward by broken heart. (An: shut up Lucy I know you're laughing! _) I hadn't felt this… way… in a long time

Elli got mad at them and chased them around the house (well mostly Rei because Lelouch tripped of the doorway…)

"You still haven't admitted you like her?"

"….. I have no comment" I said snickering while leaving the room

-Envylamperouge- LAME! I knows it T^T I won't mind if you hate me for the awfulness of the chapter… ;A; ANITCLIMACTIC! TwT please forgive me…-

I didn't post this on fanfiction for… forever… because the day before I was going to post this along with the second chapter of my new story I got grounded TwT for…. EVER.

REVIEW~ and I shall love you forever :3
