Shigure's drive home was silent. According to recent events, Akitos latest conversations were short and clipped, not that he expected any thing more, but he would have liked to have his thoughts put to rest. Unfortunately, their conversation brought about more anxieties than answers. 'I should just leave,' he thought. 'Anyplace is better than here.' He felt like leaving, leaving his friends, his family anything that had ever made him feel confused, unhappy, disappointed, any negative feeling he had been forced to endure. He a moment later saw a billboard reading 'Hawaii A Paradise Like None Other.' Shigure smirked maybe he would move there after he got over all the crap he was forced to deal with. In the end he decided to drive around, it might help him clear his head.

A few hours later he returned home, to find it eerily silent. He walked in and found it spotless, not a speck of dust to be seen. He decided to continue to inspect his home, and in the kitchen found Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru sitting quietly having dinner. He should have guessed after his uncharacteristic departure, Tohru was sure to have had a breakdown, clean the house compulsively and using her girlish charm entice the 'so called' men to settle down for his inevitable return.

"Thank you," said Shigure sincerely. At the sound of Shigure's voice everyone in the kitchen dropped their chopsticks simultaneously and looked at Shigure with concern, except of course for Kyo who had to open his big mouth. "Took ya long enough!"

Shigure smiled his ever so familiar smile. "Just had to get my mind straightened out, and although the food looks delicious Tohru, I hope you don't mind if I pass." As Shigure turned his back to the three, he heard an all too well known voice.

"Thank you for what?" asked Tohru while blushing at her own blatant stupidity.

"For you Tohru, for making my almost non existent return a comfortable one." Shigure continued on his way to the shower.

Shigure knew that Tohru had done everything in her power to make his arrival a comfortable one. After he walked out there was no doubt in his mind that Tohru had given the best little speech she could, and begin an all time consuming cleaning session and di- wait a second how long had he been driving around!

"Ah well," thought Shigure out loud as he grabbed a towel and some clean clothes. He made his way to the bathroom; memories of his own sister flooded his mind. She was young when she died. Shigure was sixteen and his sister was four. When she was born he heard from some sources that she had also been born part of the zodiac, he didn't know which, not that it mattered she would be- just as he had- abandoned. She died from food poisoning. He knew it was his late mothers doing, not that she deserved to be called mother- "UGH!" Shigure had had enough of depressing thoughts and thinking of more was not on his agenda. He finally entered the shower and just let the hot water cascade down his muscular body. 'I wonder who his sisters are?'

"He has sisters! Why I would have never guessed!" Ayame exclaimed. Hatori thought that if he told Shigure he might as well tell Ayaa, although he would never admit it out loud Hatori treasured the Mabudachi Trios friendship. And not telling Ayaa would leave his conscious quite disturbed, not to mention that when Shi told Ayaa, Ayaa would have a hissy fit and cry over not being told sooner.

"Neither would I," Hatori answered back while taking a sip of tea in the back of Ayames' shop.

"Does Shi know?" asked Ayame. Ayame knew he did, no doubt that the first person Hatori told would be Shigure.

"Yes, he seems pretty disturbed by it." Hatori knew it had to be vaguely connected to the fact that Shigure lost a sister. He didn't know what on Earth one had to do with the other but it just did. "I'm surprised you haven't made commotion."

"Well, I didn't have the pleasure of spending much time with the ever so wonderful Akito," Ayame answered back sarcastically. "So truthfully I don't really care. Unless it has to do with my darling little brother Yuki. OH DEAR, I haven't visited him in about a week he must be so sad, and cold, and lonely without my brotherly love." Ayame began to get teary eyed; bit his fist and whimpered.

Hatori just rolled his eyes, "Don't count on it."

Back at the little cabin at the foot of the mountain the three sisters were making preparations from the second they saw their brother leave through the door. They all began by packing their clothes. Suzuka brought out her purple suitcase and packed it with all her clothes, her wardrobe consisted of mostly pants with lots of shirts with sleeves, and lots of red and purple. Satsuki's wardrobe consisted of lots or shorts, skirts and capris, along with some pants. Her shirts were tight and revealing. Aeika designed her own clothing; they complimented her looks as well as her own personal sense of style; fairy like and whimsical.

After packing their attire, they moved on to packing their most "important" belongings. Suzuka grabbed her medium sized handbag and crammed it with mangas, anime movies, and an MP4 player filled with anime theme songs. Satsuki also had a handbag and like her elder sister she also had an MP4 player with anime theme songs, and that was it. Aeika crammed her handbag with book after book; she also put notebooks with her clothing designs.

"Is that all your going to put in that bag?" asked Aeika with a raised eyebrow.

"No," answered Satsuki while along with her sisters dragging her luggage down the flight of stairs.

"Well what else are you going to put in it?" asked Suzuka while still wrestling with her handbag and suitcase.

"Evan, my cat," answered Satsuki. She fell to her knees and began looking under the couch in the living room.

"I thought that thing died," said Sazuka.

"It didn't, know shut up before I make you shut up." On a stormy night about two years earlier Satsuki heard a faint meowing sound coming from the front door. When she decided to check, Satsuki found a gray and white kitten on the porch, soaking wet and shivering. From that day forward Satsuki kept the cat, and for two years now her sisters had hated it. Apart from the fact that cat bit, hissed, and scratched -everyone but Satsuki- it had an American name, and for some reason it did not sit well.

"Don't tell me to shut up, you should know better than to pick a fight with me," Suzuka being a very heated person, did not like to be spoken to like a small child especially from one of her sisters.

"Sorry," said Satsuki. As she stood back up and turned to look at her sisters she seemed on verge of tears. "I haven't seen Evan for a while now and I think he might have… ran away."

"Its ok Uki we'll help you find him," Aeika sighed. "Isn't that right Suzuka?"

"Yeah sure what ever." After her small verbal confrontation she wanted nothing to do with her sister Satsuki. "Well, why are we going to our brothers in the first place?"

"Because-", started Aeika.

"- There you are!" Satsuki pulled the cat from behind the couch cushions. If a cat could grimace, Evan would be doing so at that very moment. Although the cat obviously didn't wish to be held, it surrendered to his owner's desire. Satsuki carried the cat as you would a baby and then almost as reading the cats mind set it loose on the end table by the couch.

"I'm 'gonna go to bed," said Satsuki while yawning. She gave Aeika a hug and flipped her black silky hair in Suzukas way. With that she walked up the stairs making her way to her room, and ironically Evan jumped from the side table and followed her up the stairs.

"How stuck up is she," Suzuka just didn't know when to quit. "As much as you are," said Aeika while making her way up the stairs and rolling her eyes.

The next morning Shigure awoke to find Hatori in his face. "WHAT THE FUCK," Shigure shouted. He was clearly not used to being woken up at-

"Seven in the morning? What do you want?"

"Akitos asked for us… all of us," answered Hatori. Shigure's eyes instantly shot open.

"Now?"

"Yes, now, why do you think I woke you up?" Hatori was still amazed Shigure kept up a job at the rate his mind was going.

"Ok let's go." Shigure shot out of bed and opened his bedroom door and began to climb down the stairs to find Yuki, Hatsuharu, Momiji, and Ayame by his front door.

"You might want to get some clothes on first," said Momiji through a fit of giggles. Shigure looked down at his body and found he was just wearing a pair of white briefs.

"Whoops." Shigure obviously got carried away; Tohru when seeing Shigure in his relative glory; giggled bashfully and blushed profusely. A few minutes later he emerged from his room in his traditional clothing.

"Ok. I'm ready," said Shigure while running down the stairs two steps at a time. "Can I drive?"

Hatori once again questioned whether or not to let him do as he pleased.

"No."

"Your no fun!"

"Wow it's been so long since we've been here last!" exclaimed Aeika as she and her sisters made their way into the Sohma family compound. That very morning Akito drove back to his sister's cabin at the base of the mountains and woke them up at five o'clock in the morning. He surprised them because they weren't supposed to be picked up until two o'clock in the afternoon, but they – they meaning Satsuki and Aeika- didn't mind. They couldn't wait to leave their relative imprisonment. At age eight Akito banished his sisters; his sisters were 13. Akito was now seventeen and his sisters twenty-two, meaning they had been in the small cabin away from human society for nine full years with only a yearly visit and update by their "loving" brother. But now they would finally meet the other Sohmas they had so much about.

"Go wait in my room," ordered Akito. "You do remember where that is?"

"Yeah, though I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't, you keeping us locked up and all." Suzuka was in no mood for her obnoxious brothers comments, not that she ever was.

"Fine. Just go wait there," sneered Akito. His sister hadn't changed at all. She was obviously still cursed with anger.

The three sisters watched as their brother entered or rather exited through a door that led outside. Then after being sure he had left they dropped their bags and ran to Akito room. It was very spacious. Large windows that opened up into doors that led onto a balcony, made up the wall parallel to the door. Light tatami mats covered the floors. A small pedestal that led to an elevated futon was at the center of the room. On either walls there were tapestries with the zodiac animals.

"Looks a lot different from last time I was here," said Satsuki with a far away look in her eye. She was obviously reminiscing about when the room was filled with toys and laughter of a young little boy, sadness overtook her as she remembered the countless hours she spent with the tiny Akito.

"You were with him a lot weren't you?" sneered Aeika. Aeika being a very jealous person, it bothered her that Akito always kept a special place in his heart for his sister Satsuki.

"What does it matter?" Suzuka being a very easily irritated person it made her immune to having feelings that she decided to call a "show of weakness" or in other words feeling anything other than anger made her feel vulnerable.

After a minute or so the three sisters began to hear a muttering of voices just outside the window, then a slight tapping followed by a very familiar voice.

"Suzuka, Satsuki, Aeika there are a couple of people who wish to meet you," Akitos voice could be heard clearly through the window.

"So this is it," said Aeika while taking a deep breath.

"Lets end this," said Suzuka in a very disinterested voice. Sighing Satsuki stepped forward along with her sisters and opened the windows that led to the large balcony. As if in a movie the wind picked up speed and blasted open the doors. They're standing as trophies stood his sisters.

"Meet my sisters," Akito could not help but snicker as his sisters stood there with their chins held high and looking down with such arrogance, it was a look that could only be matched by his own smug look of haughtiness. As soon as the wind calmed back down to a gentle breeze Akito looked back at the rest of the Sohma family standing behind him in awe of… well just in awe.

"I'm Suzuka," she said in a very proud tone with her left brow lifted in arrogance. All the while staring at a man in the crowd of Sohmas. His was hair medium length; covering one half of his face.

"I am Satsuki," her chin was high and looked very much like her brother did. Her eyes were set squarely on a black haired man, he had a smile on his face and she noticed rather quickly why. Her shirt had lowered it self and quite a bit of cleavage was showing.

"And I'm Aeika," her hand was on her hip as if on pose. She as her sisters had been staring at a man, one with hair just as long and silky as hers.

'He's cute', they all thought in unison.

"She's pretty hot," thought Shigure while leaving is eyes directed squarely at her chest.

"Why is this Suzuka person staring at me," thought Hatori as he and Suzuka had battle of wills using only their eyes.

"Who dare she have hair just as long and silky and shiny and- hey she's pretty," thought Ayame as he inspected her with tedious detail.

"You can stop now," sighed Akito. His sisters took a deep and breath and their look of arrogance slipped away. Aeikas' sincere smile repapered on her face; Satsukis smirk regained control over her features and Suzukas usual semi-friendly scowl took control of her expression.

"You'll all get to know each other better inside," Akito led the way to a great dinning hall in his home. When he arrived his sisters were already standing by near a wall.

"Everyone take a seat," Akito made no request, that was an order. No one moved till Akito took a seat at the very head of the table. He glanced over to his sister Satsuki and motioned to his right. Satsuki knew that would be her spot. Akito glanced at the seat to his left and pointed to his sister Aeika, Aeika smiled and gracefully took a seat beside her beloved brother. Akito cleared his throat, which obviously meant it was time for the rest of the Sohmas to take their own seats. There was a sudden clank of chairs and almost instantly Shigure appeared beside Satsuki. Satsuki noticed this bold move and nodded to her brother in agreement, which meant it was all right if him to be seated at such close proximity. Ayame seemed to take the next initiative and just when he was about to take a seat beside Aeika, Suzuka beat him to it and sneered at the longhaired man beside her.

"Aw, very well I'll just have a seat beside my best friend, isn't that right Gure-san, Gure-san?" Ayaa noticed that Shigure was obviously to preoccupied with eyeing all the sisters to even notice his buddy speaking to him.

"Oh yeah, sure whatever," said Shigure very offhandedly.

After that little display everyone began to take his or her seat. Minakisa, Akito's personal assistant, brought out the food one course at a time. During dessert Akito decided to let the other Sohmas satisfy some of their curiosities.

"Does anyone have a question concerning my sisters?"

"Yeah, how old are you girls," asked Shigure. Akito didn't like the question but Satsuki placed her hand over her brothers' arm and said, "We are all twenty-two".

"Why don't any of you look alike?" Momiji asked. Aeika decided to answer that particular question. "We all have a different mother, well except for Satsuki, she and Akito are fully related." By the end of the sentence she sneered.

"Why-"

"-How come?" interjected Momiji. "Look little boy you'll stop asking such personal questions or I'll break your lip, understand?" Suzuka had no desire to relive her past.

"Apologize, that's no way of speaking to young boy," Hatori spoke up and the air became thick with tension. Suzuka glared at him again having a battle, willing the other to look away. In the end when she knew he would back down, she smiled… she actually smiled. "Sorry." Hatori simply nodded.

"Whose the oldest?" asked Yuki all the way from the other end of the table.

"I am the oldest by a minute," answered Suzuka. "Satsuki is the middle by nine seconds and the youngest is Aeika by eight seconds."

Before another question could be asked Akito spoke up. "They will be staying here for an unknown amount of time." "Hatori I need you to go to the cabin where they were staying and bring all their belongings."

"I don't know where they live," said Hatori. He wasn't going to get off that easy.

"Take Suzuka with you."
