Zodiac Doubles Chapter 17

There was a knocking on the door and Momiji ran to get it. "Kaiya? What are you doing here at the main house? And with all your stuff? Are you staying here for the night?!" the rabbit exclaimed excitedly. "Well now that you mention it, do you think it would be alright if I crashed here for a while?" "I don't see why not! This place is huge, there's bound to be a room open for you." "Thanks Momiji." Momiji led her down a hall and stopped in front of an empty room. It was nicer then the one she had at Shigures. The walls were a pastel blue and there were doors that led to a small patio that led to the garden out back.

"Kaiya, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here? Not that Im complaining or trying to kick you out or anything." "Change of scenery?" Kaiya said timidly. "Yeah, didn't think you would buy that excuse." "So what is it?" The two sat down on the futon bed. Kaiya sat against the wall side and hugged her knees. "I just think, that, I need to be away from the others for a while. I still haven't completed what I originally set out to do. Although I never did think I would get this far." "What do you still need to do?" "That's a secret." "Aw, you can tell me. You can trust me." "I'll tell you, under one condition." "What?" "You tell me your greatest wish. The one thing you could ever want." "Well, before it was to not turn into a rabbit, but why I wanted not to turn into a rabbit was so that someday, if it ever happened, my mom, dad, and even my sister, could all be a family again." Momiji said more seriously. Kaiya hugged him comfortingly and made a mental note to do this first. "So, what's your secret?" Momiji asked after a few minutes of silence. "Ok, just, don't tell. My I guess you could call it goal, is to undo all the things Akito tried to take away from us all." "That's not going to be easy." "Yeah, well, I've already got one down." "Really? Who?" "Hatori." Kaiya said smiling. "What!" "Yeah, I called Kana a few days before, giving her a heads up that Hatori was looking for someone to help him. How she ended up at the party I have no idea, but that's one for me, Akito, nothing'" Momiji smiled impressed, "Well, good luck with that. I should go though and let you get settled." Kaiya smiled and nodded as Momiji closed the door behind him.

Kaiya got out a pen and paper and started writing down all the things she had left to do. Most things were already on their way to being fixed, now that the curse was gone. Like Yuki, he had Tohru to heal him now. He wasn't alone anymore. Hatori had the love of his life back, Haru was going black less and less with Sakuras help, Kisa was being helped out by Seiya and Hiro. Hiro also was becoming less and less, snobby with Lin's help. Most of the problems were already being fixed by the similars. Kaiya had some how accidentally brought them together the night she fought Shin and Akito and ended up in the hospital. Kagura was also getting to know Yasu and she seemed to go on less rampages. Things seemed to be taking care of themselves. She didn't really do anything, unless you count breaking the curse and bringing the similars together. Kaiya spent the rest of the evening thinking up a full proof plan to make Momiji's dream come true. The curse Akito insisted on keeping upon them caused Momiji's family to break up and she was going to try to do something to make it better.

After that, school wasn't the same as it had been. Kaiya quit the track team, she explained it was because she couldn't come up with the money to do both gymnastics and track; although Kyo thought she was doing his to avoid him. When he asked her if that was why, she kind of exploded in his face, something she hadn't seen her do since her first day at school. "You know Kyo! The world doesn't revolve around you! So get a grip and move on!" that was the jist of the conversation she had with him.

One time Kyo came to see Kaiya at the main house, even though Akito was gone, Kyo still kept away from it as much as he possibly could. He was about to knock on her door when he read a sign that read: 'Please to not disturb, studying for Final Exams.' He asked Momiji how long that sign had been up there and he said for about a few days. "Once Hatori and I tried going in and she went all insane and crazy on us. We don't go in there unless the sign is down. She usually only comes out to eat and go to the bathroom. And to go to school of course, but in the mornings she's always like a zombie. I don't think all this studying is good for her. Hatori even tried to convince her to give it a break but she insists she's fine. Just take my advice, don't go in there unless it's an emergency. And out of all people, Im not sure she is to crazy about you barging into her room." "Whats she got against me?" "I don't know and I don't want to get involved. She comes home around 6:00 eats, showers and studies. That's all I know about her life." Momiji said plainly and walked away. Kyo left soon after, wondering what it is he had done to make her so angry.

Gradually time passed and High school graduation came and went. Kaiya had scored at the top of her class on the final exams. It was now almost a month past graduation and Momiji was well on his way to having his family back. Everyday was looking up for him. Kaiya still lived at the main house, and said the reason why she didn't move back was because she became comfortable at the main house and didn't feel like moving. It was also closer to her new job, which still no body knew what it was. The truth was, her job wasn't really a job, everyday in the afternoons she would go to a recording studio. She had called Mr. Shinamoto about a career in singing and he immediately put her to work. After that first month he wanted to move her to Tokyo where she could really hit off her career. She thought about it, 'Heck, what do I have to loose? Its not like anyone here is going to miss me all that much' (Kaiya) Her mind flashed a picture of Kyo and she shook it away. 'He could care less if I left.'(Kaiya)

Kaiya went up to Hatori the next day and told him she planned on leaving the main house. "So you're going to move back into Shigures house?" "No, Im moving to Tokyo." "What?!" "I know a person there who is going to help me become a professional singer. It's my greatest dream and he wants me there in a recording studio by the end of this week. Besides, its not like I have anything here that's holding me back. Im sure no one will miss me." "What about Momiji, he's never gotten the chance to thank you for making his wildest dream come true. What about Kyo? Im sure he'll miss you. I know I'll miss you. And Im sorry if I didn't say it before, but thank you for bringing Kana back into my life. Yes I knew." He said to her questioning face. "Well that makes two, you and Momiji, possibly Tohru or Yasu, but not Kyo. Im sure he could care less whether I stayed or left." With that she walked out of the room and got her bag and went to wait for the taxi at the front gate. As soon as she left the room Hatori called the main house. "I need to speak to Kyo." He waited a minute and heard Kyos voice on the other end. "Kyo, come to the main house quick." "Whats the big emergency?" "If you don't come now, you'll loose her forever." The line on the other end hung up and Hatori placed the telephone back on its receiver. 'You did so much for us, now I want to do something for you.' (Hatori)

Kaiya put her bag in the trunk of the taxi and hopped in the back seat. "Air port please." The driver nodded and started to drive. If Kaiya had looked back, she would have saw an orange haired young man run around the corner. Watching his world drive away.
