A/N - Hey. Thanks to my reviewers. Particulary KawaiiAyu. Lessee. Furuba is not mine in any way shape or form. However, Shoka and her mother Suyuan are my own. Don't use w/o my permission please. If you read carefully, there's an Aki spoiler. Also, this chappy is after Tohru met Rin. Italics are Shoka's thoughts.

SUBJECT: Sorry

Like the subject says, I'm sorry for taking so long to your last email. I got sick again, and Hatori-nii put me on bed rest. However, I have gotten the chance to meet the Honda girl. I was shocked at how much she acts like Haru. They are both kind to a fault. People like them shouldn't have to deal with nasty, bitter and pessimistic people like me. And yet, like with Haru, I am inexplicably drawn to her.

I'm worried Shoka. What will happen to us if we break the curse? Can it be broken? If Akito finds out, I know he'll go after Haru to hurt me. And that Honda girl will be in danger of getting her memories erased. From what I've seen, that Cat and the Rat would NOT like that. Even Hiro would be upset, and he doesn't even care for her. ( He's jealous of how close Kisa is to her.)

Shoka closed the email and sighed. Poor Rin. What Akito said to her has really affected her. She's not the horrible person she thinks she is. Maybe Honda-san can help her to realise that. But, Rin is right. There is the risk of Honda-san losing her memories. I doubt Hatori would do it, but if Akito forced him to...From what Rin says the other Jyuunishi care about Honda-san too much to allow it. But they cannot defy Akito. Not even I can.

The only thing that I can do now is move back to Sohma House to aid Rin. I'll just tell Akito that I want to get to know her better. Ren will hate it, which will make Akito happy, and Mother pleased as well. Why Father ever left her for that bitch I will never know. That bitch made Mother suffer, and Akito as well. Akito deserved a chance to live her life the way she wanted.

SUBJECT: RE- A little question

okay Shoka, what are you planning? Don't tell me you're gonna live in the main house again. Do you think Akito would allow it? Or rather, would his mother allow it? You said that she hates you. Why would you willingly put up with the two of them? But, to answer your question, yes there are some empty houses. Namely Gure-nii's old house, and an empty one by Hatori-nii. I guess I can't talk you out of doing this, can I?

Is Suyuan coming with you? I think Kagura's mother would like to see her again. But, then again, so would Ayame-nii. I hear he's been looking for a new model....
