This was a dream come true.

Chapter Fifty-Three- Miyako's Pov

Breaking the news to Kyo hadn't been easy. Needless to say, he was pretty upset.

"What?" He had yelled as soon as Shigure told him the news, I was in the middle of eating some sticky rice.

In fact, it hadn't just been Kyo. Suprisingly enough, Yuki and Tohru seemed sad as well. But Kyo was by far the most affected. As soon as the situation was explained, he raced up to the roof. I knew that I was going to have to talk to him. So I went up to the roof, somewhere that was by far, not my favorite of places. Heights weren't my thing. But it was where Kyo was, so I would make that sacrifice.

"I'm sorry Kyo." I said, sitting down next to him on the roof. His face was void of any emotion, but his eyes showed it all, the tears that were threatening to spill over showed it as well.

The tears worried me the most, tear were so rare for Kyo, even when he was physically hurt.

He finally looked over at me. "You're really leaving aren't you?"

I nodded. He looked away. "Please don't be mad Kyokyo." I begged.

The cat shook his head. "I'm not mad. But do you know how much I'm going to miss you baka kitsune?" He smiled sadly.

I leapt at him and pulled him into a hug. I loved giving hugs; it was just something that I did. "I'll miss you too baka neko." I smiled into his hair as he returned the hug.

"But I'll visit, so it's not like this is the last time you'll ever see me." I promised when I finally pulled away.

"You'd better." He sighed, returning to his regular Kyo expression.

We stared across the land. "Okay, I need to get down, the height is killing me!" I laughed, leaping gracefully off the roof onto the second story of the house.

Kyo chuckled. "Do you need help packing?" He jumped down, landing next to me.

"No, but you could help Tohru make rice balls down in the kitchen." And with that, we went in our separate ways, Kyo going into the kitchen and I go into the study to pack my things.

The first thing I did was pack up the few clothes I owned. Without that shopping trip that Ayame took me on, I would have only one entire outfit in my possession. I then packed the leash that I had bought for Yume at that store a little more than a week ago along with the little leather collar he was wearing. I saw my blue camera, but I didn't pack that, instead, I tucked it safely into my pocket. Then I put my toiletry kit into my bag, and also a small package of sweets I had, again, confiscated from my older brother. I added to the collection the necklace that Yuki got me.

And with that, all of my possessions were packed into a small bag, all but Yume of course, who was too big to be put in the bag with all the things that were already piled inside. Besides, Yume seemed to know that we leaving, and was racing around, enjoying and remembering the various things and scents that were scattered around the house.

With that, I put my backpack over one shoulder, and called to Yume, who came racing, and joined me. I put my pack next to the door, and then entered the dining room where lunch was being served by Tohru. It was rice balls, and before I could stop him, Yume grabbed one that was no doubt stuffed with fish, and raced off down the hall with it, causing everyone to laugh.

"Are you really leaving to live at the Sohma house?" Tohru asked, serving me my share of the food.

I nodded. "Yep. It's going to be great!"

"Even with Ren and Akito?" Yuki asked.

I smiled. "I think that Akito can help me handle Ren." Yuki obviously didn't know that Akito and I were, getting along quite nicely.

"You know what you're going to have to do?" Shigure quizzed me.

I shrugged. "What?"

"You're going to have to take pictures, then show them to us when you come by on the weekends. Alright?" Shigure smiled, obviously pleased with his plan.

I laughed. "Of course Shishi, I wouldn't want you to feel left out. You are my brother."

"Don't forget about us." Kyo grumbled with his mouth full.

I smiled warmly. "How could I possibly?"

Just then, we heard the screen door slid open, and Hatori stepped in. "Hello Shigure, Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Miyako. How are you this morning?"

"Good, are you hungry by chance Tori? Tohru made rice balls." Shigure patted the empty pillow we always kept for guests.

After some convincing, the doctor sat down, and Tohru automatically served him three rice balls.

"Are you ready?" He asked me, before biting into one of the balls.

I nodded. "Yep, all packed!"

Everyone was smiling, I guess it was true what Shigure said, my happiness did make other happy. And now, it was the rest of the Sohma's turn.

After the last rice ball disappeared from all of our plates, Hatori stood up. We all knew what happened now.

"I'll bring her back in four days for the weekend." Hatori promised Shigure.

He nodded, and then gave Miyako a hug and a kiss on her forehead. "Goodbye my imoto."

"Bye aniki." I smiled at him.

Kyo was next. I gave him a hug as well. "See you neko, keep my brother out of too much trouble." I smiled, and he returned it.

"And you stay out of trouble; just because I'm not there to keep you out of mischief doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want." He said causing me to laugh.

"As if anyone could ever keep me out of trouble." I joked.

Next was Tohru, who looked awkward. But I gave her a hug, which obviously surprised her. "By Ms. Honda. I expect to find a rested and non-obese brother when I get back. Deal?" I asked.

She nodded. And after I gave Yuki a hug, I followed Hatori to the car, Yume following at my heels, and got into the passenger seat of the car. And with that, I was pulled away from Shigure's home, and towards my home.
