Hi guys! I'm so sorry it's been a while, I've been...'busy'.

Random sideline person: Oh yeah, hahaha, busy. More like playing on Minecraft, neglecting your Trig homework still, not doing your job for your sister, and playing League of Legends.

Hey, hey, hey! Watch it, or you're fired from being my editor! You miss a whole bunch of crap anyway!

Let's reply, shall we? *awkward laugh*

thief .apprentice: I'm glad I managed to pull of Sage's personality so well! That makes me happy that I've had so much support for this story. I hope you continue to enjoy.

candymoon2315: Oh it's okay, you don't have to apologize for not reviewing it's totally your choice! The act you did once makes me happy enough! :D

Protagonist of Life: Hahaha, I like cliffys. Just saying. That's a big warning for you. XD I'm glad you enjoy it.

mezzieb1: Oh don't worry, I will make plenty more. I do not intend on ever stopping this story, I'd feel horrible about it. I just got a little distracted. Plus school is coming up and I'm a mess. Hahaha. Help me. D: DX

Let's go!


Chapter 12

"What?" Hatori asked, not entirely sure what to expect. Well, he certainly wasn't expecting the first laughing fit she had, and he wasn't expecting laughter now. Though Sage did, she stood up again and started laughing darkly to herself. Before looking at him with cold eyes.

"It's hard to hurt someone who's sunk to the rock bottom level, and it's hard to ruin someone who's already ruined and almost beyond return! Oh, and I'm already involved in dark parts of my own special curse! So, doctor man, if you don't mind staying out of my business with the Sohmas we'll be just fine!" Sage said, spitting out the words harshly before turning her back to him, heading for the door, "It was splendid to meet you though, really it was!"

As Sage reached her pale hand out for the door, she felt an agonizing pain shoot through her head, and her legs give way underneath her.

'Not now! God, why did it have to be now!' Were the thoughts that raced through Sage's head as she fell forward, her head meeting the door frame. She heard her name, but just barely. Sage's hands found the sides of her head and she weakly moved forward and sat down, with her back against the wall. She knew she was screaming out in pain, she knew she was, but Sage couldn't even hear herself anymore. The world faded slowly, starting just at the edges of her vision, then exceeding to consume her in a world of black as her body fell so she was laying on her side, and it was clear Sage had gone unconscious. Hours passed before she woke up again.

'What the hell happened?' She thought to herself as she opened her eyes slowly, squinting against the vibrant light. Almost the instant she opened her eyes she was being greeted with squeals of joy. It took Sage a few moments to remember who they belonged to, no other than Momiji.

"Sage you're awake! Thank God Hatori and I were so worried! Well maybe not Hatori, I don't know," Momiji said.

Sage quickly realized she was in the main house, and that she had a headache from hell from when her head hit the door frame. It came back to her like pieces of a puzzle she was tried to solve. Very, very slowly, because Sage really sucks at puzzles. She needed to get home, she knew that. When her thoughts finally collected properly, she realized that she was under covers on the floor. Sage guessed that either Hatori or Momiji had made her a little makeshift bed for now.

"Thank you for your concern, Momiji, but I'm fine," Sage mumbled. Somehow that lead to Momiji telling Sage about Hatori and Kana (A/N: Yes, I'm sparing you from reading it again. Not that I hate Hatori or anything, I rather like him, I just don't think you want to hear it all again. XD) and Sage nodding and listening. After he told the story, Sage stood up.

"I don't think you should go yet, Sage! Hatori isn't back yet and he should make sure you're okay!" Momiji said.

"I need to get back. I'm fine, Momiji, I'm used to this happening. Maybe not hitting my head on door frames but the rest of it I am," Sage muttered, walking out. After walking for a few minutes it finally dawned on her she had no idea where she was going to get out of this place. Momiji had showed her in and she really wasn't paying attention to which way they were going. Oh well, Sage decided the first person she ran into would be the person who got asked for help. Maybe she didn't get so lucky, because the room she ended up in front of was Akito's, but she didn't know that. How could she? The door was open, and Sage was still a little out of it, so she just kind of walked into it and stood in front of the door, staring at Akito who was staring out the window.

"Yo. Window person. I expect you know how to get out of this place? I wasn't really paying attention when my guide showed me in," Sage said, the only response she got was a cold glare from him. (A/N(MANGA SPOILER): ...For now I'm going to call Akito him. Later on I'll call him her...)

"You should learn to pay more attention, Sage," Akito said, letting her name slide out with malice, "And you should learn your manners. Who are you to walk into my room without a care in the world?"

"Oh I'm soooo sorry," Sage said sarcastically, "But from you asshole behavior and obvious malice towards me I'm going to assume your Akito."

"Asshole!? How dare you!" Akito yelled, clearly angry with her sarcasm and words. He got up and went over to her, raising his hand. Sage simply glared back coldly, obviously not afraid as his hand moved down at her, obviously hit intention was to hit her but Sage stopped it by grabbing his wrist.

"Yes, asshole. You must be the head of this Sohma family. I see, I see very clearly. You're a hypocrite for one," Sage squeezed on his wrist, and by his face it obviously inflicted pain, "Telling me to learn my manners when you were about to hit me. A near complete stranger. Listen, I don't know the kind of person you are but so far I'm not really impressed, and I wouldn't try to mess with me anymore, okay? Oh, and if you dare try to erase my memory because of this encounter, expect me to fight back. And win." Sage said confidently before shoving Akito back onto the ground. He continued to glare at her.

"Well! I assume you're not going to tell me how to get out so I'll be on my way! By the way, you're obviously very frail and underweight, you might want to eat more," Sage said happily, walking out and shutting the door behind him. Though right before she did, she gave him a cocky little smirk to show him she wasn't afraid of him.


Well that's it for this chapter! Dun dun dun, Sage does not like Akito very much, now does she? XD No one really does. .-. I know I don't. So now we've got even more mysteries about Sage! Odd fainting spells? Hm! Wonder what could be the cause~! Join us next time in Everyone has Their Secrets! *giggles* Bye!
