I still don't know if Momiji will be a main character but I think that can wait for now. Please enjoy the chapter, the setting is the end of the second day at school.
Walking order: Shigure, is on the left side by Tohru, Tohru is the middle and Kyo is on the other end. The three of them are walking ahead, while Yuki and Miyako are walking behind them, with Miyako on the left.
I just feel it's important to visualize the order correctly rather than being confused with who next to who?
Miyako POV
I sighed inwardly, this can either end two ways, really bad or…is there even another possible outcome? I thought to myself. If mother does what I think she'll do, then I'm need to do a ton of explaining, if she decides otherwise, I might be able to explain things gradually at my pace.
"Ah, you shouldn't worry Miyako, I'm sure things will be just fine." Shigure said throwing a look over his shoulder
"Shigure-san, what you said wasn't very convincing. You know as well as I do why Akito-sama wants all of us to visit the main house." I rolled my eyes, I can't believe I'm saying my mother's name with an honorific... Oh yeah, she made me…best answer ever, I could be a lawyer I thought sarcastically.
"You're right, but there's nothing like a bit of attempted humor to lighten the mood right?" I gave Shigure an unimpressed look, and continued walking, until I realized we were already in front of the wooden doors.
"Welcome home right?" I grumbled at Shigure, "He's waiting for us." I emphasized the word he too much, but after today, would that really matter?
We opened the doors and walked down the path into the house, I followed Shigure silently as he took us to mother's room. As Shigure (my father) opened her door and walked inside the rest of trailed in immediately.
"Thank you for today is was nice of you invited us to the main house, including Kyo as well!" My eyes darted to Shigure who was trying to flatter my mother…a little too much.
"It wasn't an invitation, it was an order!" Mother kept her back turned towards us, but the hatred in her voice was obvious.
"Ouch, no need to act so harshly." I said coolly, she spun around and narrowed her eyes at me. "Honestly, why are you glaring at me? You had specifically said I could have more time, but that was a lie wasn't it!?" I shouted, while flailing my arms around trying to make a point
"Miyako!" I turned around to look at Yuki, "Yell at Akito-sama will only give you pain are you asking for a death wish!?" Yuki warned me, I gave him a small smile
"I'm not asking for a death wish, I'm just disagreeing with a certain someone." I motioned towards my mother
"You idiot! Do you not know the situation you're in!?" I sighed, so Kyo does care, in his own way.
"Of course I do," I growled, "otherwise I wouldn't be arguing with the God of the Zodiac!" I answered in an aggravated tone, breaking this news today is not going to go well.
"Miyako, come here for a moment my dear." My mother called in a sickly sweet voice, I groaned as I walked forward.
"Please don't say dear unless you mean it, especially in that tone of voice…it's kind of creeping me out." I scowled as I stood in front of her
"I don't care if it creeps you out or not!" She bellowed
"Yeah, I know you don't…but I still don't know why you're forcing me to do this." I muttered keeping my face emotionless
"Now that this is all settled why don't you tell everyone your little secret?" My mother said with an edge to her voice
"Fine...but give me a moment." I said curtly, knowing she wouldn't say no, since I was cooperating.
"Okay, but I'll be waiting over here, and don't even think about making a dash towards that door!" I nodded my head and watched as my mother sat down on her front porch, leaning against the doorway while dangling one leg over the edge and resting her other leg on the smooth wood. I took in a few deep breaths, and turned to my father and my three housemates, friends didn't seem like a proper term, especially after I spill the beans.
"I need you guys to come here for a sec." I said looking down, suddenly the floor seemed more interesting than their expressions. They walked closer, and with every step I felt myself becoming more nervous.
"Miyako, look at me," I stared into the eyes of my father, "you can tell them, and more importantly…you can definitely trust me on this." He spoke gently with a soft expression in his eyes, his face wasn't graced with his normal lecherous smile, and I knew he was serious.
"I don't know what to say first." I whispered, "Can one of you ask me a question and we'll go from there?" I directed my question towards my three housemates
"Of course we can." I chuckled slightly when I heard the three of them answer in unison
"Sounds good, what would you like to know first?"
