-Momiji-
http:// www. you tube. com /watch ?v=xN0FFK 8JSYE (take the spaces out! for if you want to see how she's dancing and how the song is supposed to go! its going to take a long time to load though D: STUPID VEVO!)
"my hands are searching for you

My arms are outstretched towards you

I feel you on my fingertips

My tongue dances behind my lips for you" I watched in awe. She can sing so amazingly and I never knew…

"Where did she learn to sing like that?" I asked chu-chi

"Well she didn't get it from our parents!" she said with a laugh

"A fire rising through my being

Burning I'm not used to

Seeing you
I'm alive

I'm alive" I looked over at Tohru and the others. They were smiling

"Does she usually wear black?" I asked chu-chi

"No, she stopped after we moved here" O_O

"I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding onto what I'm feeling

savoring this heart that healing" I walked over to Tohru, and before I got a word in she said
"she's amazing!"
"yeah, she is" one of the best I've ever heard!" I said looking up back to the stage
"my hands float up above me
and you whisper you love me
and I began to fade
into our secret place
the music makes me sway
the angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you" she looked scary in all black. I had barely seemed her wear any of it at all. The closest thing to black that I had seen her with was a dark grey dress
"I'm alive
I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing
holding onto what I'm feeling
savoring this heart that's healing
I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing
holding onto what I'm feeling
savoring this heart that's healing"
I looked over to the rest of her family. Some of them were smiling and others looked afraid
"and so I cry
the light is white
and I see you
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive"
why do some of them look afraid?
"I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing
holding onto what I'm feeling
savoring this heart that's healing"
'they either hate me, or are afraid of me... some try to hide it but others don't even bother...' Izzy said that to me the other day when we were at the park.
"take my hand I give it to you
now you own me all I am
said you would never leave me
I believed you, I believe
I can feel you all around me
thickening the air I'm breathing
holding onto what I'm feeling
savoring this heart that's healed"
the sound dimmed down then she jumped off stage. Kiko flew onto her arm
"where have you been Kiko~?" she said adoringly to the bird
'Kiko play with Rei! Kiko play with Rei!" time seemed to stop. All the noise was gone. I looked at Izzy. she had a look of terror on her face
"...r...Rei?"
"Kiko play with Rei!" chu-chi walked up to the bird
"don't tell lies Kiko, I'll kill you if it's a lie"
"what's so bad about Rei?" Tohru asked
"Rei is... well she's the 13th member of the horoscope"
"I thought there were only 12?" I asked
"I thought there were supposed to be only 12 in the zodiac, but you have 14 counting Kyo and Akito"
"so what exactly is this 'Rei'" said Kyo
"she's the phoenix" said Makenna
"she's evil, the absolute worst" she continued. That seemed to make Kyo snap
"what the hell! Just because Rei is not part of the original horoscope doesn't mean she's evil!" Izzy spoke up quietly
"she tried to kill me when I was younger" we stared at her

"She..... She tried to kill you!?" she nodded

"When she was in her true form. I got too close and she tried to kill me"

"EVERYONE is scared of her true form. She has no control! But when she's in human form or in her regular animal form, she's.... tolerable" said Sawa-san. The twins said at the same time

"We all try to be her friends, but she just pushes us away further" Izzy looked up at the sky

"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" then Koharu screamed coming out of the forest

"Big bird! Big bird!" we all turned to the place where he came through. Izzy went walking into the forest. I followed after her. In a clearing there was a giant scarlet feathered bird trying to pick up some clothes.

"Rei.... long time no see" Izzy said as if they'd been friends all their life. The bird backed away

"I'm not here to hurt you, just the opposite. I'm here to help" the bird talked a sweet quiet voice

"Who are you?"

"Issabella Elizabeth Momori. Izzy. The Leo. Let me help you" the bird stared at me with shifty eyes

"This is Momiji Sohma, of the Sohma curse of the zodiac. We're not here to hurt, only to help"

"I don't need any help"

"It's about to rain, you don't have any clothes on and the closest civilization you're going to find around here is my house" the bird sighed

"You realize I hate you for this"

"I realize you hate everything within a 2 meter radius" I stared at Izzy. There was obvious fear in her eyes, but not in her voice. She's really good at controlling her emotions… apparently

"Fine, just help me get back to normal then leave me alone. Izzy's phone started ringing the song 'all around me'.

"I'm a little busy right now..... Yeah she's here.... I know....... fine....bye"

"Who was that!?" asked the phoenix

"Chu-chi, just asking me if I'm safe .... By the way, how was Kiko behaving" she was acting like she was talking to her friends rather than a giant red bird "he bit me then flew away after a while"

"Huh... should have fed him today, oh well" then it started raining. The rain made dark black streaks go down Izzy's face

"Momiji turn around will ya?"

"Sure" I turned around. I heard a loud puff then I heard Izzy trying to help her. After a while she said I could turn back around. I saw Rei in her human form. White blonde hair and eyes like black holes. Izzy took a step forward to Rei. She tripped on a branch and knocked Rei over

"You little bitch!" Rei yelled as she threw Izzy into a tree

"What the hell!?" Izzy screamed. Rei ripped off the biggest branch off the tree nearest her and threw it at me.
Everything looked like it was going slow motion. The branch inched towards me but I couldn't move. Izzy looked at me in terror. She tried to push me out of the way but the branch hit me across the face before she could reach me. I felt blood seeping out of the corner of my mouth. Izzy screamed. Another thick branch. It hit Izzy in the back of the head. The blood flew past her. A dark red. It splattered on the silver buckles and black leather of her clothes. Then everything went back to normal speed. I fell to the floor where Izzy was. The blood was coming fast from the back of her head. I heard a rustling in the bushes. Chu-chi Nauto Yuki and Kyo emerged from them. Chu-chi screamed when she saw Izzy. Yuki and Kyo fought off Rei, and chu-chi and Nauto helped me with Izzy. They carried her off with me close behind. I realized that tears were sliding down my face. I tried to suppress them. Since when did I become so attached to Izzy that I would go to such pain for her? When did I grow to love her so much?
-Izzy-
the branch hit me in the back of the head. I wasn't worried about my pain. More of the pain of Momiji. He fell to the floor next to me. Chu-chi Nauto Yuki and Kyo came out of the bushes. Nauto and Izzy carried me off to the house. On the way I saw Momiji crying. Don't cry... it only causes me more pain... when did I come to love him so much that I would worry over the slightest bruise?I barley said anything. It was so quiet. I don't know if anyone heard it, but I said
"I'm sorry..." then my thoughts blacked out.
is it weird…?

Don't cry... don't cry....

I think it's weird… o.o

Its rushed… and …

I'm a horrible person… I hurt Momiji T-T*goes off to emo corner*

I made the awesome bunny cry… forgive me Momiji! Q_Q

Please review~
